 The African Bishop Tudor Bismark explains this powerful spiritual principle in this way: our thoughts, whether right or wrong, turn to words, and our words create an atmosphere or attitude that surrounds our life; a prolonged atmosphere creates a climate; a prolonged climate creates a stronghold, and a prolonged stronghold creates a culture. By allowing the wrong thoughts in our minds, and speaking the wrong words, we create negative attitudes and strongholds in our lives. |

 Now, "there's wide agreement that a prolonged, high-sugar diet is a leading suspect," says metabolic-syndrome expert Dr. Victor Zammit, who, for the past decade, has been investigating its causes.
"If sugar is eaten often enough, tissues are exposed to high insulin and glucose levels for prolonged periods of time, and this damages tissues. A diet high in sugar is bad enough. But people tend to have chocolate bars and biscuits and soft drinks throughout the day. The system is continuously stimulated with no resting periods between peaks of insulin and glucose," explains Dr. |

| Consequently their whole defense from a universe of dangers is the mother, under whose protection the intra-uterine period is prolonged.2 Hence the dependent child and its mother constitute for months after the catastrophe of birth a dual unit, not only physically but also psychologically.8 Any prolonged absence of the parent causes tension in the infant and consequent impulses of aggression; also, when the mother is obliged to hamper the child, aggressive responses are aroused. |

 Less commonly, prolonged erections can signal leukemia or malaria.
Prolonged erections can also be a reaction to certain antipsychotics, as well as some antidepressants and antihypertensives. And not surprisingly, they can be a rare overreaction to such drugs as Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra, which are used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), commonly called impotence. Priapism can also be a sign of carbon monoxide poisoning as well as alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and other drug abuse. In addition, it can signal a spinal cord injury or disease, as well as an injury to the penis. |

 As Lucas and Platts-Mills wrote: "The real question is whether prolonged physical activity and, in particular, outdoor play of children plays a role in prophylaxis against persistent wheezing. If so, the decrease in physical activity might have played a major role in recent increases in asthma prevalence and severity. |

 Vitamin C is vulnerable to both heat and cold, and prolonged storage depletes it.
• The preparation of food significantly decreases folic acid.
• Freezing meats can destroy more than 50 percent of the B vitamins.6
We began with depleted nutrients in our soils, which NPK fertilizers made worse. Then came the hybrid grains that produced nutrient-depleted foods. Modern processing and food storage caused further depletion of the quality of our foods. We then take these foods home and continue to create further depletion because of storage and preparation. |
| We have looked at the basic immune response, but we now need to look at how to handle the prolonged inflammatory (chronic inflammation) response that these cytokines create.
Antioxidant supplements are our best tool. They improve our immune system, they help control the inflammatory response, and they build up our antioxidant defense, which in turn protects our normal cells from inflammation s destruction. But there is another important aspect of this inflammatory response we need to look into: our bodies' natural anti-inflammatory system. That's right. |
| Vitamin A toxicity can occur in adults who take in excess of 50,000 IU per day for a prolonged period of time. A lower dose may also create toxicity if the patient has liver disease. Signs of vitamin A toxicity include dry skin, brittle nails, hair loss, gingivitis, anorexia, nausea, fatigue, and irritability.
Accidental ingestion of a single large dose of vitamin A by children (100,000-300,000 IU) can cause acute toxicity. This may present as headache, vomiting, and stupor because of the increase in intracranial pressure. |

 Frequent or prolonged sun exposure is a major contributor to premature aging and wrinkles.
Antioxidants, including the flavonoids, protect the skin from free radical damage. Flavonoids in general are well known for supporting healthy collagen and elastin and maintaining their elasticity. In part, they do this by realigning these proteins to a more youthful, undamaged form. Among the polyphenols in green tea, EGCG and ECG show the strongest effect in reducing collagenase activity. Supplementing the diet with antioxidants, such as green tea's polyphenols, lessens the likelihood of wrinkles. |
| When rats were given EGCG in their water, their life span was considerably prolonged. The researchers who conducted this study identified the free radical-fighting abilities of green tea as its longevity-enhancing aspect.2
Most health experts agree that the "free radical theory of aging" holds the most promise for understanding—and slowing—the aging process. Free radical "hits" on cells and their essential components accumulate over time, producing the signs and symptoms of aging: premature death, heart disease, cancer, dimming cognition, cataracts, and wrinkles. |

 Nowhere are the clever and complex strategies to manipulate the public mind more clear than in the prolonged, failed and costly campaign to produce a safe cigarette. Once again, the fingerprints of Clarence Cook Little, the former chief of the American Cancer Society, who became director of the Tobacco Industry Research Council, are evident. Little came up with a policy modeled on a well-known axiom that continually resurfaces in the war on cancer: If you can't beat them, join them. |

| Other side effects may include bleeding from the injection, prolonged erection, and formation of fibrous tissue at the injection site. The cost per injection can be expensive. Injecting a mixture of alprostadil and other prescribed drugs may be a less expensive and more effective option. These other drugs may include papaverine and phentolamine (Regitine).

 Another method for increasing the sensitivity is a "stop-flow" mode of the LC-NMR system operation, allowing for a prolonged time of acquisition of NMR spectra, of up to several days. In this method, the software controlling the whole system switches off the HPLC pump in the moment when a chromatographic peak, registered by another detector (most frequently UV), reaches the NMR probe (Holt et al., 1998). Different NMR experiments then may be performed, including two-dimensional H- C
HSQC and HMBC spectra that could be obtained using even 10 Ug of sample (Wolfender et al, 2001). |

 If bowel habits are not changed to allow these sacs to release their toxic load, diverticulitis or inflammation can develop due to irritation from stagnant feces. prolonged fecal storage in diverticula pockets can lead to serious problems such as colon cancer. Toxic overload must be avoided.
Liver
The liver is both a gland and an organ. It is located mostly on the right side of the body, under the diaphragm, nearly hidden and protected by the ribs. In an adult, it weighs about 3-5 pounds (1.4-2.3 kg). |
| They are the result of a prolonged overly-acid diet.
The liver produces bile to emulsify fat in food so it can be better digested in the intestine. The other function of bile is to raise the pH of food materials in the small intestine from acid to alkaline because the digestive enzymes in the small intestine only work in an alkaline medium. The liver produces alkaline bile for this reason.
When the diet is predominantly acid, the body will reabsorb sodium from the bile in order to conserve alkaline minerals, leaving the bile with an acid pH. |
| Estrogen dominance can arise as a result of many factors, including the intake of estrogen-like chemicals via our foods and environment, hormone replacement therapy, drugs such as birth control pills, improper diets, and prolonged stress. Associated health problems that can develop are: weight gain (mostly around the waist), decreased libido, anxiety, depression, lack of mental clarity, and lack of energy. Women can experience difficult menstrual periods, painful breasts, and cyclical mood swings. |

 STATUS ASTHMATICUS
This is a medical term meaning a very severe and prolonged asthma attack. There is extreme difficulty in breathing and exhaustion and collapse may follow. Hospitalisation is more often than not necessary and close monitoring is required. Status asthmaticus is life-threatening.
Never ignore an asthma attack in the hope that it will go away by itself. Status asthmaticus may well be the result.
CHROMIC ASTHMA
Asthma affects people in different ways. It can appear in childhood or during adulthood,- worsen gradually or have a sudden onset. |

| From past and present research, we are suggesting that the body can create ETs—these energetic environments—after exposure to triggering events, such as prolonged exposure to geopathic stress or electromagnetic fields or some other factor, and so host a microorganism, but?and this is a pretty big statement—it can do this even when there has been no invasion by an actual microorganism at all! In a sense we are getting phantom diseases, but, of course, what we call phantom is just another way of saying bioenergetic—nonphysical. It's information—the field of the microorganism. |

 Introduced at the start of the Great Depression, it triggered a series of tit-for-tat economic responses, which many commentators believe helped turn a serious economic downturn into a prolonged and devastating global disaster. But if history is any guide, those lessons will have been long forgotten during the next collapse. Eventually, fed by a mood of desperation and growing public anger, restrictions on trade, finance, investment, and immigration will almost certainly intensify. |

| Our stores of Source energy tend to become depleted by prolonged stress, being indoors too much, chronic shallow breathing, poor nutrition, and exposure to toxins, among other factors. This depletion increases the probability that our bodies may not be able to maintain homeostasis, so symptoms of that loss may develop. If you do become ill, then as your illness moves from being acute to chronic, your Source energy becomes further weakened, and your body has less and less of a reserve of energy to deal with the illness. |

 According to the FDA, they "increase risk of death, and are often associated with prolonged hospital stays."40
In the FDA's first GM crop review in 1992 (FlavrSavr tomatoes), the director of the Division of Anti-Infective Drug Products wrote, "The Division comes down fairly squarely against the [antibiotic resistant] gene marker in the genetically engineered tomatoes. I know this could have serious ramifications. |
| Many call for a prolonged moratorium. They tell the industry to come back with their products in 50-100 years, after they have done their homework.
Biotech companies insist that the benefits of the technology justify the risk. But who benefits and who's at risk? While some farmers may have some benefit from herbicide-tolerant or pesticide-laden crops, the primary advantage is profits for the seed developers. The risks are borne by everyone else. |

 This was then, and is now, an arduous affair for these princes of the Church, and even more so when the deliberations are prolonged. The conclave of 1740 was the longest of modern times: it took six months to elect Benedict XIV. Francesco Valesio, whose diaries present a wonderful picture of daily life in 18th-century Rome, writes that at one point in this conclave, 30 lbs (13.6 kg) of chocolate were delivered to the Sistine Chapel for the refreshment of the cardinals;22 and, in fact, throughout his journals, cardinals take their chocolate at frequent intervals. |

 Resilient when under permanent vegetation, grazed (and manured) by millions of buffalo, the prairie fell apart when plowed up and dried out by prolonged drought. Without the grasses and their roots that stabilized the soil, winds that decades before blew harmlessly across the range ripped rhe countryside open like a sand-charged hurricane. Shifting drifts of dirt covered a vast region where high winds carried off desiccated soil exposed beneath the parched stubble of wilted crops. |

 The most common cause of secondary amenorrhea is pregnancy.
• prolonged amenorrhea that is hypoestrogenic (hypergonadotropic hypogonadism or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism) prior to menopause is a risk factor for osteoporosis. hence, a lack of secretion of estradiol by the ovaries. Examples: psychological stress, weight loss, genetic diseases.
4. Normogonadotropic anovulation. Normal FSH and LH, but the cyclic nature of the pulsed secretions is disrupted. The ovarian follicles develop and estrogen is produced, but at some stage the follicles do not fully mature. |
| When treatment is prolonged and at a higher dose, the agonist effects are more evident and the isoflavones have an estrogenic effect. It is important to note that at 30 months there was no difference between the isoflavone-treated group and the placebo group. It was only after five years that the dose of 150 mg per day produced an estrogenic effect in a small number of women.
The subject of phytoestrogens is discussed in more detail later in this chapter and in Chapter 12 in the discussion of menopause. |
| Four clinical problems that require special consideration in fibroid cases are heavy, prolonged, or frequent bleeding; infertility; enlarged kidneys; and pregnancy complications.
Menstrual flows that are longer than 7 days in duration, more frequent than every 21 days, involve intermenstrual spotting/bleeding or excessive blood loss (more than 80 ml per cycle compared to the normal average of 33 ml) deserve a visit to your licensed primary care practitioner. It is difficult to quantify the number of pads or tampons used as a criterion for determining excessive blood loss. |
| Women rarely need to rush to any decision about surgical intervention, except in the case of excessive bleeding problems, a rapidly enlarging fibroid uterus, or prolonged or severe pain. If surgical intervention becomes appropriate, remember that you may have a number of surgical options and explore some of the newer techniques. If a hysterectomy is indeed the best option, and sometimes it is, then be sure to discuss with your surgeon whether you would like to keep your ovaries; most of the time, there is no pressing medical need to remove them. |
