 You were demonstrating the correction of scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine. I saw you touch two places with your fingertips on her back, and suddenly she appeared to faint and was gently lowered to the floor. I was amazed to see that when she stood back up the curvature in her spine was now normal! I decided that if you can do it, I can do it!
"I had a twenty-eight-year-old woman in my office who had a kyphoscoliosis (an abnormal rounded curve in her mid-spine). I touched two points on her back just as you had in your video, and she seemed to briefly go unconscious. |

 L is considered abnormal, but if blood pressure and blood glucose levels are controlled with diet, exercise, supplements, and medications—including angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) (discussed in chapters 5 through 10), it is possible to halt further damage and/or dramatically reduce the progression of the disease.
Kidney failure is characterized by an abnormally low glomerular filtration rate. |

 Translation: Crofton has cripplingly intense chest pains that hit at odd moments—when she walks up stairs, gardens, or is at rest. The abnormal stress test suggests that she has at least one severe narrowing, or stenosis, in her coronary arteries, the vessels that supply the muscle of the heart with blood. The combination of unstable angina and an abnormal stress test indicates she's at high risk for a heart attack. |

 Schmidts was a protocol of the extraordinary ?abnormal feats performed by abnormal people with a peculiar gift. Jahn believed that this approach further marginalized the topic. The more interesting question, in his mind, was whether this was a capacity present in every human being.
He also wondered what impact this might have on our everyday lives. From his position as dean of an engineering school in the 1970s, Jahn realized that the world stood poised on the brink of a major computer revolution. Microprocessor technology was becoming increasingly sensitive and vulnerable. |

 In heterozygotes, who usually do not exceed 30% to 40% of the population living in areas where malaria is commonplace, the sickling trait provides both normal and abnormal hemoglobin in every blood cell. This is a characteristic that increases their chances of surviving malaria to reproduce.1'* In those who are homozygous for sickle cell anemia, this characteristic still helps to resist malaria, but their cells have nothing but abnormal hemoglobin. As a consequence, they develop sickle cell anemia, which, as described, is often fatal. |

 The anemia results from abnormal blood cell division resulting in fewer and larger red blood cells. This type of anemia is called megaloblastic anemia, referring to the large immature red blood cells. Neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, also can be abnormal. Symptoms of folate deficiency typically take a few months to develop and may result in fatigue from lower oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood corpuscles.
Folate deficiency can be caused by inadequate absorption, inadequate consumption, or unusually high metabolic needs for this vitamin. |

 Moyer wrote how a 5-year-old boy with poor speech development had an abnormal EEG (brain scan showing abnormal brainwave patterns) and a temper that was out of control. The boy was found to be intolerant to chocolate, milk and cola, which were then eliminated from his diet for over seven months. The EEG was repeated and found to be normal, and his behavior was much improved. When the culprit foods were then reintroduced, his EEG was once again abnormal and his behavior worsened. |

 By re-establishing the matrix of supporting tissue, tumors and pre-tumor-ous cell processes can be reversed, even in the presence of grossly abnormal genetically damaged cells. [Cancer Research 60: 1254-60, 2000]
Barcellos-Hoff notes that conventional thought is that the ionizing radiation promotes cancer by its ability to damage DNA. But her experiments clearly show that cells undamaged by radiation, but existing in an environment of connective tissue that has been irradiated, will aggressively grow tumors of large size and numbers. |
| Nerve toxicity from DCA administration appears to result from depletion of body thiamine stores and abnormal metabolism of oxalate, a known nerve toxin. The co-administration of vitamin Bl with DCA reduces urinary oxalate levels from 86% above normal to only 28% above normal. [Toxicological Sciences 14: 327-37, 1990] Maybe this tips off how DCA actually works, by depriving cells of an essential nutrient.
The flurry of interest in DCA will continue just as Rife machines, laetrile and alkaline therapy for cancer has persisted for decades with no real observable cures. |
| The spread of most breast tumors is via the blood circulation, not by direct extension of the tumor itself. abnormal blood vessels grow out towards the tumor, they do not extend from the tumor. Most breast tumors aren't detectable until they can be felt by physical exam and thus have been developing for 7-9 years. By then, a small number of tumor cells have likely escaped into the blood circulation. |

 A group of people of northern European descent have an abnormal clotting factor called factor V Leidin. The most common clotting disorder, affecting 5 percent of the population, it predisposes them to clotting. Often, this goes along with a family history of deep vein thromboses and clots going to the lungs (called pulmonary emboli). If you have this factor V Leidin, a simple but expensive blood test and a family history will confirm the diagnosis. You want to take 162 milligrams of aspirin daily regardless of whether you pursue HT. |

 Once activated, much like stealth missiles, the natural killer cells lock on to the intruders, go into full battle mode, and destroy abnormal cells.They wait until they're called into action by tiny signs, or chemical signals and imbalances, that indicate something has gone wrong. Chemical messengers pulse through the body, organizing responses to keep us in balance, at least in most of us most of the time.

| As Barcellos-Hoff says, "Indeed, it has been suggested that cancer may be a physiological response to an abnormal environment." Studies reveal there are many more mutated cells produced that can initiate cancer than actual number of tumors that develop. The initiation of cancer appears to be a far more frequent event than is the cases of cancer that develop. Low-dose radiation upsets the environment surrounding cells and promotes tumors, an effect that lasts for 14 days following radiation exposure. |

| In both the formerly diseased but surviving twin and in the healthy counterpart, there were normal blood cells whose sole job appeared to be to fight off anything abnormal. These fighting cells— termed natural killer cells—proved vital. Having more of them might mean that cancer patients will survive longer and better. And these killer cells are made, not born. |

 The psychodynamic model was abandoned in favor of a medical model, which introduced—as should be clear from our discussion in chapter 1—a clear distinction between the normal and the abnormal. Either one was mentally ill, in which case a specific and unique diagnosis was necessary, or one was not mentally ill. "Each of the mental disorders," according to the editors is conceptualized as a clinically significant behavioral or psychological syndrome... |

| If the growth has spread, a snippet of tissue can be removed and examined by a pathologist for signs of premalignant changes, including the growth of abnormal blood vessels. If all cells of the cervix have converted to cancer cells, this is called carcinoma in situ and the entire uterus must be removed. But in the 1930s, the medical world was not moved by Papanicolaou's work, and women, black and white, continued to die at alarming rates. |
| Lymphoma occurs when a rare and powerful cell that is the grandmother of all cells—stem cells—can't stop making abnormal lymph tissue. Eventually Harvey's cancer was transformed to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Lymphoma cells and CLL cells both come from lymphocytes, which normally are responsible for making protective antibodies against a wide variety of foreign materials and infectious diseases. The carcinogens that may lay behind both these cancers are unclear, but there are hints that radiation and exposure to some chemicals, especially pesticides and solvents, are involved. |

 In an ongoing study in the United States, patients received a combination of beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E; researchers witnessed a response rate of 60 percent. The abnormal precancerous cells reverted back to being normal cells.
4. In an ongoing multi-institutional U.S. trial, patients received only beta-carotene; they had a response rate of 56 percent.
5. A study done with male hamsters that had experimentally induced oral cancer considered using beta-carotene, vitamin E, glutathione, and vitamin C both in combination and alone. |
| The Immune System: Our Great Protector
Our immune system guards us against viruses, bacteria, fungi, foreign proteins, and abnormal cancer cells. It is a sophisticated interplay of many different kinds of immune cells. Even though the scope of this book does not allow me to go into much detail about the intricate workings of the immune system, I still believe it is important for you to know who the basic players are. Here is a brief job description of each. |
| They have been tested from top to bottom with absolutely no abnormal findings. The only way to truly discern whether a patient has fibromyalgia is to do specific tender-point testing of eighteen predetermined areas. If eleven or more of these areas are significantly tender when only mild pressure is applied, the patient is diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
A majority develop fibromyalgia following a serious illness, a major injury (especially of the neck), or a substantially stressful time in their lives. |
| For the past twenty-five years, researchers have believed that abnormal genes are the driving force behind all cancers. But now researchers are beginning to believe instead that individuals with certain genes are simply more vulnerable to oxidative stress than others. This may explain the familial patterns of many types of cancer.8

| What turned normal white cells into exuberant abnormal ones, leaving the marrow of leukemia patients bleached and pale? The immune system is one of the most complicated parts of the human body, working like a complex cellular policeman. It regulates what can get through the blood and heart, and what gets gobbled up and eliminated through various waste streams. Herberman did not become a rocket scientist despite his boyhood enthusiasm for building model airplanes. Today Herberman is recognized as one of the world's experts on how natural immunity works and what can happen to upset it. |

 Any form of strong physical exertion upsets Vata and causes the secretion of abnormal amounts of stress hormones such as adrenaline; this leaves the body restless and shaky. The body, thus depleted of energy, is unable to do the repair work that arises from the demanding workout, leaving the cardiovascular system weak and vulnerable to other stress factors.
Post-exercise exhaustion is a serious cause of illness that affects many unsuspecting people who think they are doing themselves a favor by pushing their bodies to the limit. |

| Although abnormal iron loading leads to premature death in people with hemochromatosis, the sufferers of this genetic condition do not die of bubonic plague. So when a quarter of the European population was killed during the first plague, our ancestors with hemochromatosis survived. Subsequent bouts of the plague were much less devastating because of this change.
So infections have shaped our genes through natural selection and have forced humans to jump through hoops in developing complex systems to protect ourselves. |
| In your lungs: The glycosylation of collagen results in abnormal recoil of the elastic tissue, so you have trouble getting the air out as well as in. This occurs slowly in lung connective tissue, but forty years of high glucose levels often lead to respiratory failure—the inability to get enough oxygen into your blood without the use of an oxygen tank.
