Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means Ron Garner See book keywords and concepts

Soy serves as meat and milk for a new generation of politically correct vegetarians____Soymilk has posted the biggest gains, soaring from $2 million in 1980 to $300 million in the US last year.... Soy is now found in most supermarket bread.14 Let's dig a little deeper to understand what some of these "antinutri-ents" are, and what effects they have on our bodies. The following outlines some of the main areas of concern with soy products. Soybeans contain: Hemagglutinin, a clot-promoting substance that causes red blood cells to clump together.

Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation Charles Barber See book keywords and concepts

Behavioral health" is the latest politically correct name for the field of mental health—the thinking being that mental is too narrow a term to encompass all the realms of emotion and action and that it has connotations of "mental hospitals" and "mental illness." While the intention is no doubt noble, I find the term behavioral health also to be limited. The problems are not limited to behavior; any phrase to describe what Lisa Fenton and other therapists do has to include a reference to feeling and thinking, to inner states.

The Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie Craig Pepin-Donat See book keywords and concepts

In our politically correct society everything is called by a different name. It reminds me of comedian George Carlin's very funny act based on calling things by a different name to parody political correctness. He would say things like, "You can't call anyone ugly. They're appearance challenged." Or he would say, "Don't call anyone stupid. They're intellectually underdeveloped." Joking aside, part of the problem is that we've changed the definition of things by not calling them what they are. So we do not address things for fear of being perceived as insensitive.

Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan See book keywords and concepts

This rare neurological disorder is also known as stiff-person syndrome (SPS), which is not only more politically correct but also more accurate, because the condition affects both men and women. SPS causes recurring bouts of muscle stiffness and spasms and is thought to be an autoimmune disorder. Indeed, it's more prevalent among people who have other autoimmune diseases, such as pernicious anemia, insulin-dependent diabetes, and hyperthyroidism. (See Appendix I.) The signs of stiff-person syndrome usually appear first in the muscles of the trunk.

You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore Bill Sardi See book keywords and concepts

Maybe that's because the politically correct answer preserves everybody's job and keeps grant money flowing for more radon risk studies. The presumed link between radon and lung cancer was initially based upon a study in Sweden, but subsequent studies elsewhere have not shown a consistent link. Flaws were also found in many radon studies. Few of the studies actually even measured radon exposure. Where radon levels were measured, a relatively small percentage of studies found a statistically significant positive association with lung cancer.

Seeds of Change: Six Plants That Transformed Mankind Henry Hobhouse See book keywords and concepts

But it is not noted by the politically correct that dependency in one area of human life can develop into dependency in another. There are very genuine problems; for men and women alike, traditional vocations which were specialized and needed years of training have been de-skilled and automated. Manual strength is no longer needed, and dexterity often more of a female quality. Of once-male jobs, 85 percent can now be performed by women and very few jobs are reserved for men, while women are said to be much more adaptable and find more work niches every year.

The degree to which the hitherto honest and upright are driven to compulsive crime to support their habit is obviously proportional not to income, but to the comparative cost of drugs. The politically correct phrase is that "the addiction has to be sustained." Those European countries with a "free" health service have grappled with the problem of poor addicts by prescribing free synthetic alternatives to various hard drugs. The objection to these prescribed alternatives is that they themselves often become objects of addiction and illegitimate exchange.

Many of the politically correct preach drug-legalization. One argument which has been deployed is that money-laundering is potentially or actually so damaging to otherwise respectable economies, and the difficulties of identifying money so great in the electronic age, that legalization of drugs should be considered in this context alone. This is because a large proportion of the money being laundered worldwide comes from drug profits. The other compelling reason is that making hard drugs legal would reduce crime by more than 50 percent in some cities. Many policemen would endorse this approach.

Non-surgical treatment of fibromyalgia - an interview with Dr. Paul Whitcomb Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Although I would say that there's also the issue that this condition is -- gosh, I don't know how to say this in a politically correct way. I mean, if patients need a lot of meds on this, then that's a sustainable business model for pharmaceuticals -- that's my theory. I know that may not be your theory. Sadly, I don't think there's that much of an attempt to take people off of medications these days. Dr. Whitcomb: I don't think there's a lot of attempt because -- let's say you're a doctor, and you have a patient that comes in to see you, just in tears.

America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived Dr. Timothy Scott See book keywords and concepts

Here is the American Heritage's "politically correct" definition for schizophrenia: Any group of psychotic disorders usually characterized by withdrawal from reality, illogical patterns of thinking, delusions, and hallucinations and accompanied in varying degrees by other emotional, behavioral, or intellectual disturbances. Schizophrenia is associated with dopamine imbalances in the brain and defects in the frontal lobe and is caused by genetic, other biological, and psychosocial factors.

FDA censorship, suppression of its own scientists is routine, survey reveals Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

We don't have to be politically correct in our word choice about the FDA when there are peoples' lives at stake. These are criminal behaviors and the people responsible for these behaviors deserve to be prosecuted as criminals just like any other group that causes the death of hundreds of thousands of people. If they were terrorists, we'd be bombing them into oblivion. But since it's the FDA, we somehow let it slide. In fact, FDA-approved drugs have killed hundreds of times as many Americans as all terrorist acts combined. Consider that sobering statistic for a moment...

Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back Michele Simon See book keywords and concepts

That's why we cannot improve the global situation one politically correct forkful at a time. Rather, we must make a fundamental shift in how as a society we produce, transport, market, and sell food— both in this country and around the world—and create viable policies and institutions to support such changes. As much as I'd like to, I can't provide you with a list of key laws to pass, a twelve-step program to follow, or a "dream team" of attorneys capable of bringing about such a major social and economic transformation.

Living the Low Carb Life: Controlled Carbohydrate Eating for Long-Term Weight Loss Jonny Bowden, M.A., C.N.S. See book keywords and concepts

Naturally, there is complete adherence to the politically correct mandate against animal fats of any kind. There's some very old-fashioned advice (such as limiting eggs if your cholesterol is high), and the list of approved cereals includes glycemic nightmares like Corn Flakes and Special K. Of course, there is not a word about aspartame or the controversy around artificial sweeteners. At the same time, the program is edgy enough to take a stand on the subject of ketosis, which the program makes good use of.

The program tries to be all things to all people—it makes a valiant attempt at being both low-carb and politically correct, and tries not to offend anyone in the dietary pantheon. According to the book, during the weight loss phase you follow a "low-calorie, low-carbohydrate, low-fat, moderate-protein-structured eating plan." The book has a section on "nine easy ways to reduce your fat intake" that could have been lifted from the pages of any popular magazine of the '80s. In truth, the entire sensibility of the book is that of a standard low-fat diet but with elevated protein intake.

Hope's Edge: The Next Diet for a Small Planet Jeremy P. Tarcher See book keywords and concepts

But I'm coming to see conscious choices we make as consumers not as some politically correct performance. What we choose to buy, where we choose to shop, even whether we choose to be part of campaigns to pressure companies like Starbucks to buy fair-trade coffee—all this is not an homage to some weighty obligation; it's a celebration of the world we want. Finally, we have real choices, ways to know where and how our products are made. And honestly, it just feels good.

Death By Prescription: The Shocking Truth Behind an Overmedicated Nation Ray Strand, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

Whether politically correct or not, I will go where few choose to tread. Someone must address the life and death issue of death by prescription. Don't you agree? Thus, this book. You will find in Part I the fascinating history and inner workings of the drug approval "system" as it stands today. In Part II, I explain how and why the system has gone wrong and illustrate with real-life scenarios of drugs that have been pulled from the market. You may be surprised to learn the rest of the story about dangerous drugs you recognize or may even have taken.

The Healing Miracle of Coconut Oil Bruce Fife and Jon J. Kabara See book keywords and concepts

Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges politically correct Nutrition and the Diet Dktorats Sally Fallon, Mary G. Enig, Ph.D., Patricia Connolly, New Trends Publishing, 1999. (877) 707-1776 More than just a cookbook, this volume is about eating the kinds of real food that has nourished people all over the world for centuries. It combines the wisdom of the ancients with the latest accurate scientific research. Contains insights from a variety of doctors and nutritionists. Great recipes that include healthy oils like coconut oil.

It was almost like a royal decree had been sent out to all authors stating that they must say the exact same thing about coconut oil in order to be politically correct (but not necessarily accurate). Saying anything different was against the rules, and that was that. I did find a few, a very few, authors who stood up to this rhetoric and stated bluntly that coconut oil wasn't bad, but they didn't give much detail either. It seemed that nobody really knew anything about it. The only place I could find cold, hard facts was in often-ignored research journals.

Reinheriting the Earth: Awakening to Sustainable Solutions and Greater Truths Brian O'Leary See book keywords and concepts

The leaders on Earth posture to be economically powerful and politically correct. They have no time to examine the deeper dynamics of what is really going on, no time to discuss or debate solutions which might eventually unseat vested interests that underlie the political power in the first place, no gumption to try on new ideas, no acknowledgement that you and your visits might even exist, outside of their heavily protected and elite cult of intelligence operatives. This has become a crazy place, you think.

Emerging Viruses: AIDS And Ebola : Nature, Accident or Intentional? Leonard G. Horowitz, D.M.D., M.A., M.P.H. See book keywords and concepts

Through the CIA, FBI, and FCC, the CBS News anchorman reported, politically correct positions are guarded and counterintelligence campaigns are continuously waged and won. Rather noted, for instance, that during the Nixon administration, the CIA "had ways of influencing a lot of [media] people on the beat, either through their editors or publishers or through granting of favors, all the ways that guys, politicians from county courthouses and city halls and state legislatures do it, but in very sophisticated ways. . . .

Regarding AIDS, the evidence shows that the most supported theory on AIDS's origin, that is, the only theory that takes into account all of the confirmed scientific facts, as opposed to politically correct pseudo-scientific speculations, is the theory that I have advanced in Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola.

Healing with Plants in the American and Mexican West Margarita Artschwager Kay See book keywords and concepts

One was Juan de Esteyneffer, who hispanicized his name from Johann Stein-hofer because it was not then politically correct to be German. Educated as a pharmacist, he had not taken final training and vows as a priest but helped in the missionary effort as a brother co-adjutor. Sent to Mexico to nurse the old or ailing missionaries, Esteyneffer assumed the duty of helping his fellow missionaries learn curing.

The Essential Ken Wilber: An Introductory Reader Ken Wilber See book keywords and concepts

We have chosen egoic power and politically correct thought police; grim Victorian reformers pretending to be defending civil rights; messianic new paradigm thinkers who are going to save the planet and heal the world. They should all trade two pounds of ego for one ounce of laughter. [One Taste: December 7] Just This In the heart of Emptiness there is a mysterious impulse, mysterious because there is actually nothing in the heart of Emptiness (for there is nothing in Emptiness, period). Yet there it is, this mysterious impulse, the impulse to . . . create.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Lost Civilizations Donald Ryan See book keywords and concepts

In spite of what your politically correct social engineering professor in college may have told you, boys and girls are very different. If you don't believe me, stand in front of a mirror naked with one of your opposites. Some scientists are even suggesting that the male and female brains are "wired" differently. The differences between the two are certainly reflected in the bones. Females, for example, are physiologically designed for giving birth; consequently, their pelves (plural of "pelvis") are a bit different than males.

Health in the 21st Century: Will Doctors Survive? Francisco, M.D. Contreras See book keywords and concepts

But in this time and age where time is going faster than ever, spending it in the kitchen seems to break all the rules of a politically correct time manager. The fastest growing companies within the food industry are fast (processed, precooked) food corporations. Every eight hours, somewhere in the world, a new fast food restaurant is opened. Hunger of the affluent society is tastefully, conveniently and artificially quenched by the food industry; unfortunately our bodies need real and nutritious food to meet the challenges of modern existence.

Physician: Medicine and the Unsuspected Battle for Human Freedom Richard Leviton See book keywords and concepts

Examining America in the politically correct early 1990s, in which the victim ethos is fueled by "a hypersensitivity so delicately calibrated that it can detect racism in the inflection of a voice," Sykes reports: "I hear America whining." When misbehavior can be redefined as disease, growing numbers of the newly diseased have flocked to myriad new support groups. The mantra of participants in this burgeoning politics of victimization is I am not responsible; it's not my fault, says Sykes, highlighting a core value of allopathic therapeutics.

A nation of litigious, politically correct victims as the product of allopathic environmentalism is not a healthy polity by any means. Morally, it's an opportunistic infection of human character. It generates a metaphysically degenerate and intellectually disempow-ered state of mind, qualities entirely inappropriate for the demands of true democracy. An Environment of No Responsibility: A Prescription for Malpractice One of the major consequences of this enforced domination of the medical marketplace by allopathy is a consumer revolt called malpractice and the extensive litigation it entails.

Beating Cancer with Nutrition Patrick Quillin, PhD,RD,CNS See book keywords and concepts

It can be an absurdly long wait for this or any field to become "politically correct", which requires people overcoming their reluctance to change. Traditional cancer therapies alone offer almost no hope for many cancer patients, especially lung, pancreas, liver, bone, and advanced colon and breast cancer. These people need supportive therapies to dovetail with traditional therapies. They need options and hope. There are too many lives at stake, and nothing to lose in implementing the nutrition program presented in this book.

The AIDS War: Propaganda, Profiteering and Genocide from the Medical-Industrial Complex John Lauritsen See book keywords and concepts

All the hotshots in the gay movement, all the politically correct gay intellectuals hated it. Kramer was excoriated as a traitor, in and out of print, for writing an expose of a portion of the gay subculture in New York City and Fire Island. Kramer's "faggots" were characterized by obsessive promiscuity, drug abuse, infantilism, and inter-personal viciousness. Behind his rage and rancor was a serious message: Gay men are not treating each other as human beings ought to; they are fixated in a lifestyle that is deadly to the spirit as well as the body.

Food Revolution: How your diet can help save your life and our world John Robbins See book keywords and concepts

I don't care whether your diet is politically correct. I care whether your food choices are consistent with your love. I care whether they bring you health, uphold your spirit, and help you to fulfill your true nature and reason for being alive. The truth, as has been said countless times, will set you free. But what is said far less often is that sometimes it first will make you confront habits of behavior and thought that might be limiting you, so that you might attain the awareness to use your freedom for the benefit of your greater self and all of life.
