The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe Lynne Mctaggart See book keywords and concepts

Robert Goddard, the father of American rocket science, and just a few miles across the mountains from the first testings of the atomic bomb. Science and spirituality coexisted in him, jockeying for position, but he yearned for them to somehow shake hands and make peace. There was something else he'd kept from them. Later that evening, as Alan and Stu slept in their hammocks, Ed silently pulled out what had been an ongoing experiment during the whole of his journey to and from the moon.

Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it Sue Palmer See book keywords and concepts

The suggestions in this book are not rocket science, but if we care about the future of our global village, they're more important than rocket science. In defending the culture we've created, we have to recognise that the barbarians are not only at the gate, they're in the womb. Mind the gap 'Something really awful will happen soon.' I was eating lunch with a group of primary head teachers in a deprived area of the UK, listening to their chat about the children in their schools. They all nodded gloomily at their colleague's prophecy. 'It's inevitable,' someone answered.

In U.S., science is distorted to promote political and corporate agendas Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I'm not saying rocket science is easy, but at least NASA could bother to test its equipment before rocketing it off to distant planets. The (fake) search for a cure When it comes to cancer, the "search for the cure" is also a sad joke. We've had tens of thousands of people working on a cure for cancer for decades. The "search for the cure" industry is absolutely huge, and yet with all the scientists and all the money and all the research, we still have no cure from the world of medicine.

Animals are smarter than humans when it comes to feeding their children (opinion) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

This isn't rocket science. The real mystery is how the food companies keep getting away with all the denial of the evidence linking processed foods and beverages to childrens' health problems. I guess it helps that they influence the government regulators and practically own the mainstream media. They also buy all the prime shelf space at grocery stores, sponsor the big sporting events, and have successfully infiltrated schools and hospitals with junk food restaurants and vending machines. Heck, there's still a McDonald's restaurant in the Cleveland Clinic where they perform heart surgery!

Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer Shannon Brownlee See book keywords and concepts

Preventing those complications isn't rocket science; it just takes constant work. Patients need to learn to eat better and exercise. They need to monitor their blood sugar and take their insulin or other drugs. They need to see an ophthalmologist regularly to check for damage to the retina and a podiatrist to ensure they are caring for their feet. And their doctors need to check their hemoglobin on a routine basis to make sure they are controlling their blood sugar at home. How often does all of this coordinated care actually happen?

Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry Stacy Malkan See book keywords and concepts

Formulating cosmetics is "not rocket science," just six to eight hours in a lab that any of us could do, according to Bruce. Twenty to 30 chemicals make up the core of most products, and certain essential ingredients are problematic from a toxicity standpoint. For instance, preservatives: since it's their job to kill bacteria, preservatives are typically toxic. "Until companies want to ship stuff cold and people are willing to take it home and treat it like perishables, you can't get rid of preservatives," Bruce explained.

Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

Taking care of people who are troubled by medically unexplained pain or fatigue is not rocket science, but it is definitely outside the box of standard medical knowledge and care. Nonetheless, doctors who know a lot about symptom management and illnesses like CFS, FM, and the other medically unexplained syndromes do exist. Your job is to find one. You simply cannot throw up your hands and give up when one doctor after another tells you there is nothing wrong with you. Instead, be your own advocate until you find a thoughtful primary-care provider who will be an advocate for you.

Titan probe failure demonstrates pattern of quality control failures at NASA Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

This isn't rocket science. Okay, actually it IS rocket science, but these people are supposed to be the smartest geniuses on the planet. Couldn't they have taken the Mars rover out to a desert and tested it before they launched it at a cost of 800 million dollars? Couldn't they have practiced turning on the channel A data transmission switch on the Titan satellite? I realize that space exploration is not a simple thing, and it is easy to be a critic when you're a back seat driver.

How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace Paul D. Blanc, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

In short, chlorine's discovery and manufacture were not on a par with rocket science. The history of chlorine rests with a happenstance series of a few simple innovations.7 It was these small discoveries that led to rapid and mass repercussions. The "splitting" of salt was, in its way, as much a scientific turning point in 1774 as true fission would be more than 150 years later. Even though salt had been a basic commodity throughout time, up until then its key component, the chlorine of sodium chloride, could never be pulled apart and isolated in a pure form.

Q&A: How to reduce high blood pressure and restore healthy cholesterol levels with natural health Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

This isn't rocket science at all. There are no prescription drugs needed whatsoever. All that you need to do is make lifestyle changes that are proven to enhance your cholesterol health. And once again, I speak from experience on this. My ratio of HDL to LDL cholesterol is almost 1:1. That's a ratio that's almost unheard of by most doctors and health practitioners. I have an LDL cholesterol level of 67. I did that through nutrition, physical exercise and nutritional supplements. I don't take any prescription drugs whatsoever. And, hey, I'm middle-aged as well. I'm 35 years old.

Natural Health Solutions Mike Adams See book keywords and concepts

This isn't rocket science, it's not complex, and it doesn't require a prescription. If someone is suffering from osteoporosis, let's get realistic about the words we use to describe the condition: it's really Brittle Bones Disorder, and it should be treated with therapies that enhance bone density, such as nutrition, physical exercise, and avoidance of foods and drinks that strip away bone mass from the body. Don't believe the names of diseases given to you by your doctor. Those names are designed to obscure, not to inform.

Even 5-10 minutes of daily physical activity can improve health Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

This isn't rocket science: just get your heart pumping by moving your body. Bite-sized exercise It's not difficult to find something to do; what's difficult for most people is actually DOING IT. That's why I want you to start at 5-10 minutes a day (if you're not already exercising more than that). It's something that's doable, even if you've been a couch potato for 10 years. Heck, just walking across a large parking lot takes a couple of minutes. Do that twice and you have 5 minutes of walking. I call it "bite-sized exercise.

DVD copy warnings, movie studio paranoia, and the effort to turn customers into criminals Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

When the workaround is not exactly rocket science, don't you think the pirates might have figured that out, too? Really, all this copy protection does at audible.com is inconvenience the paying users, which is why I'm no longer a member of the service. I want books in mp3 format so I can listen to them on my iRiver device or my iPod. I don't want to have to use special syncing software or the special audible.com proprietary audio format, and I don't want to be treated like a criminal if I rip that audio to a format that I can actually carry with me when I'm traveling. Audible.

Big Tobacco and Big Pharma: same tactics, different chemicals Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

It's not rocket science to figure out the marketing tactic there for Big Tobacco. Pharmaceutical companies don't have the same addictive quality for their drugs. You’re not necessarily psychologically or physiologically addicted to drugs in the same way as nicotine. However, by starting a kid early on drugs, they can create a paradigm where that kid grows up thinking that he is a diseased person, and that he is that label.

Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma prevented by natural sunlight, but doctors still don't teach it Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

This is not rocket science folks! If you go out and regularly get sunlight on your skin -- as a child, as a teenager, and as an adult, you will not get prostate cancer. Of course, the darker your skin, the more sunlight you need. This is another point I've said over 100 times on this website. People with dark skin have a natural adaptation that blocks more ultraviolet rays. As a result, they need 20 to 30 times as much sun exposure to generate the same amount of vitamin D as a white-skinned person. Once again, think about it: Where did people who have darker skin come from?

Web marketing guru Jim Sterne gives advice on how to successfully utilize customer emails Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

It's not rocket science. It won't affect the brand. It doesn't bother anybody -- "Here's a little paragraph that we need you to tack onto the bottom of every e-mail you send" -- game over. So, the legal department is just not paying attention because nobody has sued them yet. I think that's the clearest explanation: The legal system works when there's a threat, so people suing you for not following a law that has no teeth? It's just not happening. Mike: I always thought that just the number of customer complaints they receive would be enough to motivate them.

Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma prevented by natural sunlight, but doctors still don't teach it Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Now, again, this is not rocket science, it doesn't take a genius to figure this out. All you have to do is take the globe, put it in your hand, look at the planet, look at the equator, think about skin color, think about the physics of ultraviolet radiation and the seasons, throw in factors like the fish oil diets of the Eskimos. Then, throw in factors such as how vitamin D prevents prostate cancer, and look at the skyrocketing rates of prostate cancer in black men who live in northern climates, such as the UK, Canada, and the northern United States.

Beating cancer -- how to take charge of your cancer cure and outlive the lies of the cancer industry Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

This is not rocket science, folks. Doctors try to make it sound complicated, but it isn't. You have anticancer properties in blueberries, and in all of the small fruits – blackberries, raspberries, acai and goji berries from Asia. Then you have onion, ginger and garlic. Garlic is phenomenal as an anti-cancer food. It contains sulphur compounds that just obliterate cancer cells. You've got spirulina, which contains anticancer phytochemicals called phycocyanin, which provide a blue-green color.

President Bush's bird flu plan fails to teach people how to really protect themselves from a global pandemic Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

It's not rocket science, and you don't have to wait in line for Tamiflu or a flu vaccine (although if you can actually get your hands on Tamiflu or a suitable vaccine, it may very well be a wise decision to go ahead and use them in addition to the other things you're preparing). We have far better information today than our ancestors did during the 1918 pandemic that killed twenty million people. They didn't have a clue what to use, and there wasn't an internet to teach them. But today, you have access to the most amazing healing plants and natural therapies in the world.

Dangerous chemicals in personal care products compromise health Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

It's not that difficult to understand; it isn't rocket science to figure out that the human body is not a toxic waste dump (regardless of what the consumer products companies try to convince you to believe). The vast majority of these chemicals I'm talking about are considered environmental hazards by the EPA. And yet it's perfectly legal for manufacturers to put them in their products and indirectly allow consumers to put them into their bodies. You could be arrested if you dumped these same chemicals into a stream -- that would be a violation of federal law.

Critical Condition: How Health Care in America Became Big Business Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele See book keywords and concepts

This is not rocket science, and it's not new to economics." It also just happens to be good business. Extracting cash from the uninsured has become a major source of revenue. Forbes calculated that HCA alone overcharged the uninsured by $2.1 billion in 2002. The financial incentive has driven the trend steadily up during the last decade. Hospitals say it isn't all their fault, that under the U.S. system, where some people have coverage and others don't, hospitals sometimes get stuck with the bill.

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

You know, this isn't rocket science," Matt says. "Good soil is the key. We've gotten our soil healthy by using clover, alfalfa, grasses, and organic fertilizer. We've doubled our pasrure production in just a year by intensively managing the grazing," he adds. As we talk, Diane rushes ahead and puts out coffee and cookies on the trunk of their car, and I attempt a lame joke about a tailgate party farm-style. As we munch, Diane hands us flyers describing the health benefits of grass-fed meat. Hearing the Sharps talk about their tasty and healthy beef, I can't quite relate.

Disease names like diabetes and osteoporosis are misleading and misinform patients about disease prevention Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

This isn't rocket science, it's not complex, and it doesn't require a prescription. If someone is suffering from osteoporosis, let's get realistic about the words we use to describe the condition: it's really Brittle Bones Disease. And it should be treated with things that will enhance bone density, such as nutrition, physical exercise and avoidance of foods and drinks that strip away bone mass from the human body.

Healing Moves: How To Cure, Relieve, And Prevent Common Ailments With Exercise Carol Krucoff and Mitchell Krucoff, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

No need to do rocket science to conclude that we are expending less energy than did our grandparents, who had to chop wood and fetch water to survive," he says. Some experts estimate that adults today expend 800 fewer calories per day than did previous generations, largely because technology has engineered much of the physical activity out of our lives. Labor-saving devices make it possible to do housework and yardwork at the push of a button, and computers let people correspond electronically without even licking a stamp and walking to the mailbox.

Overweight 30 or higher Obese PART ONE: ACTIVATE YOUR LIFE It doesn't take rocket science to conclude that we expend less energy now than did our grandparents, who had to chop wood and fetch water to survive. In fact, some experts say we expend up to 800 fewer calories per day than our parents did. Yet most people don't realize how little physical activity they actually get and how important it is for them to use every opportunity they have to move.

Toxic Sludge is Good For You: Lies, Damn Lies and the Public Relations Industry John Stauber and Sheldon Rampton See book keywords and concepts

This isn't rocket science; in fact, it's 'Direct Marketing 101,'" says Mike Malik, vice-president of Optima Direct, which offers "issue communications" and "grassroots mobilizations" to corporate clients. "We do junk mail and junk phone calls. Everybody hates that stuff but it works. . . . Our two major clients are Philip Morris and the National Rifle Association. . . . You can learn from those two organizations and what they do—they're very efficient, very effective at grassroots."19 Like most of today's political wizards, Malik is young but experienced, confident and well compensated.

Constant Craving: What Your Food Cravings Mean and How to Overcome Them Doreen Virtue, Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts

Eat less fat and exercise more—it's not rocket science. Yet, the reason why Americans are heavier than ever is due to our overactive appetites.

By interpreting why you are craving a particular food, your cravings will dissipate or disappear. You'll feel more in control of your food choices. Instead of that box of cookies commanding you to eat, you'll feel free to eat one, two, or no cookies at all.
