 And when someone with a mild or partial deficiency in G6PD eats fava beans, the parasite is in deep trouble.
As far as partial deficiency is concerned, remember that the genetic mutation that causes favism is only passed on the X chromosome, and remember that females have two X chromosomes. That means that (in populations where the mutation is common) many women have a red blood supply that is partially normal and partially G6PD deficient. That gives them additional protection against malaria, but doesn't make them vulnerable to an extreme reaction to fava beans. |

 Oolong tea is partially auto-oxidized, so it is slightly stronger in taste than green tea but more delicate than the fully auto-oxidized black tea. The partial auto-oxidation process, though, means that oolong tea contains lower levels of polyphenols. Oolong tea is the least widely used; less than 2 percent of the yearly tea consumption is based on this variety. |

| Totem, tribal, racial, and aggressively missionizing cults represent only partial solutions of the psychological problem of subduing hate by love; they only partially initiate. Ego is not annihilated in them; rather, it is enlarged; instead of thinking only of himself, the individual becomes dedicated to the whole of his society. The rest of the world meanwhile (that is to say, by far the greater portion of mankind) is left outside the sphere of his sympathy and protection because outside the sphere of the protection of his god. |

 HT-4 SEROTONIN-RECEPTOR partial AGONISTS
Tegaserod (Zelnorm), a 5HT-4 serotonin-receptor partial agonist that promotes contractions of the colon, is effective in women with constipation-predominant IBS. Common side effects include diarrhea in 5% over placebo and headaches in 3% over placebo. It has also been linked more rarely with ischemic colitis, with 20 cases reported to the FDA between 2002 and 2004.
Cromolyn sodium is a mast-cell stabilizer that has been used in the treatment of IBS. |

 Without complete reactions to a memory, the improvement is only partial, as partial as the reactions permit.
It is a reminder of an experience that was undergone and blocked out of the conscious-awareness. That is how some afflictions such as colitis or bleeding ulcers happen; the imprint is churning away on the deeper levels of the brain, yet we have no conscious awareness of it. Some forms of apnea, which is a loss of breath, can be attributed to first-line intrusion.
We did research at the UCLA Pulmonary Laboratory with a young man in his 30s. |

 There is a modern condition that is sweeping our technological world called partial attention. We have become distracted by technology and its many tools (cell phones, computers, BlackBerry devices, instant messaging), and many are finding it difficult to pay attention. We can to some extent blame technology for partial attention, but it is probably overall stress that is the greatest hindrance to mental work capacity. Adaptogens can certainly help in this area.

 From Mao to Moyers: Qi, China, and the invention of an ancient tradition
Kabat-Zinn's perspective surely captures a partial historical truth, but there is more to say. Even as efforts were made on one front to thoroughly secularize and disentangle one mind-body practice from its Eastern associations, the public was being offered a different, thoroughly exotic new vision of mind-body healing from the East: one grounded in previously little known principles of traditional Chinese medicine. |

 Most importantly in relation to the Indian context, it was partial and contingent.
I am not at present a homeopath, nor do I feel as if I ever should be. I cannot forgo the auxiliaries of the lancet, leeches, or the cupping-glass ... which in many cases I know to be certainly beneficial, and impossible to be injurious, for any new plan; but where there is great uncertainty, or where, though medicine may be applicable to the disease it may be of a nature to injure the constitution, there I should feel authorised, with close watchfulness to treat cases upon a system that cannot possibly do harm. |
| In the nineteenth century, not only was formal educational provision in acupuncture sporadic, but it was also given exclusively in terms of western explanatory models, which proved both partial and unsatisfying. Some saw acupuncture performed either in China or in the West, but most practitioners learned how to needle simply from reading about it. |

 There, the willingness to make a decision based on what will always be partial information if the risks are great enough, strikes at the central difference between the U.S. and European approach to chemicals. Facing the evidence of potential damage to male infants, the European Union determined that action was warranted. Awaiting further definitive confirmation of the links between phthalate exposure and endocrine troubles in infants years later, the United States government has opted not to act. |

| To understand the emergence of suggestion, we must first bear witness to the partial secularization of the demonic possession narrative, as it was transformed into Mesmer's ritual of animal magnetism, and then follow the debunking of Mesmer's cures as products not of fraud but of the imagination—a capacity of the mind that can lead to illusory experiences. |

 In the cancellation test, it held off the amnesia for three hours (a partial but very real effect on attention). The researchers concluded that GPC protected the brain's attention and memory capacity. Even more interestingly, the GPC group scored higher in a baseline test of word recall—given to all subjects before they were given the scopolamine, meaning the seven to ten days of treatment with GPC had had a positive effect on their brains even before the experiment began! |

BODY, HEAL THYSELF
Natural medicine—in fact, all traditional systems of healing from traditional Chinese medicine to shamanism to herbalism—subscribe to a basic philosophy that seems to be curiously absent in conventional Western medicine, and it's this: The body has an almost wondrous ability to heal itself.

| Anderson himself is partial to chromium picolinate, while other experts, like Preuss, favor niacin-bound chromium (chromium polynicoti-nate or chromium nicotinate, sold under the brand name ChromeMate). There's also GTF chromium (GTF stands for glucose tolerance factor), but this is a mislabeling and a misconception; no such substance exists.
Interestingly, a high-sugar and processed-food diet actually drains chromium from the body, so the paradox is that those who need it the most have the least of it. Infection, pregnancy, and stress may also reduce levels. |

 Range and Appearance
Isatis is a biennial or perennial native to Eurasia that grows in moist, alkaline soil in full sun to partial shade. The first year it bears a rosette of leaves; in its second year it produces a stem of about 2 feet in height bearing small, four-petaled, hermaphroditic yellow flowers. The leaves are pointed and oblong. The seed capsules turn black when ripe. Isatis is widely naturalized in North America and is considered a noxious weed in many regions.

| The plant prefers full sun to partial shade, has low water requirements, and does well in sandy, well-drained soil. The flowers are much relished by bees and butterflies.
IRISH MOSS
Botanical Name
Chondrus crispus
Family
Gigartinaceae (Gigartina Family) Etymology
The genus name, Chondrus, derives from the Greek chondros, "cartilage" or "grain." The species name, crispus, is Latin for "curly." The common name Irish moss references the plant's use in Ireland. |
| Most hydrangeas do best in rich, moist soil and prefer full sun, though they will tolerate partial shade.
HYSSOP
Botanical Name
Hyssopus officinalis
Family
Lamiaceae (Mint Family) Etymology
The genus name, Hyssopus, derives from the Greek name for the plant, hyssopus, a term that is itself of Semitic origin and perhaps deriving from the Hebrew ezobh, meaning "holy herb," in reference to the plant's use in purifying places of worship. |

| Only in the 1970s, in the heat of the first holistic medicine movement, do we see a partial blending of the medical and populist versions of this narrative: Norman Cousins laughed his way back to health, and thousands of physicians saluted him. The placebo effect, previously vilified as a product of mere suggestion, was made over into the prime medical mover of positive thinking's power and declared the new faith cure of our time.
Chapter four, "Broken by Modern Life," takes up the narrative of lament of mind-body medicine. |

 We are not denying that those perceptive people who can see the aura and its colors can extract information, including health information, from it, but we are suggesting that the information will always be partial at best.
To use an analogy to make this distinction clear, think of how a mechanic can extract information about how your car's engine is performing by analyzing only the emissions from the tailpipe. He'll know a lot about the engine, but not everything. |

 Extreme or prolonged stress results in the final stage of the general adaptation syndrome, exhaustion, which may manifest as a partial or total collapse of a body function or specific organ. Two of the major causes of exhaustion are loss of potassium ions and depletion of adrenal hormones like DHEA and Cortisol. Loss of potassium results in cellular dysfunction and, if it is severe, cell death. Lower levels of DHEA and Cortisol are associated, with extreme fatigue, impaired blood sugar control, and a diminished response to stress. |

 This ADHD-like behavior has also been described as "continuous partial attention" by Linda Stone, a former executive at Apple and Microsoft. When she spoke at the Emerging Technology Conference in San Diego early in 2006, she (like the other speakers) was competing with the audience's use of e-mail, Web surfing, and text messaging. It was an eerie reflection of much of our society. Increasingly, people devote just a little attention to each of their multitasking activities, not giving full attention to any of them.
I'll describe several examples of this odd behavior. |
