 "In an age of unprecedented wealth, fear still rules: fear of poverty, fear of being fired, fear of being obsolete, fear of being bankrupted by medical costs, and fear of being unable to care for aging parents. Whether in America or Bangladesh, many of us still live in an age of fear.
Thus, to transcend the present situation, we have to free the individual from insecurities that have accompanied or been worsened by the new economy instead of being cured by it.
Molecular technology could help us to make that transition, if we choose the right paths."- Douglas Mulhall, Our Molecular Future: How Nanotechnology, Robotics, Genetics and Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Our World (Get the book.) |
 "Indeed, in Elisabeth's study, Deb Schnitta, the flow alignment practitioner from Pittsburgh, found that the AIDS virus seemed to feed on fear - the type of fear that might be experienced by anyone shunned by the community, as many homosexuals were during the beginning of the AIDS epidemic. Several studies of heart patients have shown that isolation ?from oneself, one's community and one's spirituality - rather than physical conditions, such as a high cholesterol count, is one of the greatest contributors to disease."- Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) |
 "Bernard Jensen wrote:
There is much being done in the healing arts today which coerces patients into doing what they should through fear.
More than fifty years later, Dr. Jensen's statement is still true, especially for a man when his sexual ability starts to wane, urination becomes difficult, his doctor tells him he needs a prostate biopsy, or he is told he has prostate cancer. His fear can easily lead him into accepting treatment that may not be in his best interest.
Fear is your enemy! It destroys your ability to make informed decisions and causes stress that exacerbates the problem."- James Occhiogrosso, N. D., Your Prostate, Your Libido, Your Life (Get the book.) |
 "The second fear was that if the logic turned out to be wrong, I would be ridiculed and my academic prestige tarnished irreparably.
But the third fear was the worst of all: the logic might actually be correct. If this were true, then I would dramatically have to change my cherished beliefs about how nature worked.
How I handled these three fears was typical of the "sane" scientist. I didn't share the logic with anyone and kept it quiet for thirteen years!"- Gary E. Schwartz and Linda G. S. Russek, The Living Energy Universe (Get the book.) |

 "The fear Factor
Fear is another important equivalent of pain that may be more effective than the pain itself to achieve the mind's goal
of distracting attention from repressed rage. The fear of pain, physical activity, injury or spinal abnormality is enough to perpetuate TMS, even in the absence of pain. The mind is interested only in keeping our attention on the body; the fear of any of these phenomena will accomplish that as well as the reality of pain itself. This is why our therapeutic program requires not only the cessation of pain but the elimination of fear."- John E. Sarno M.D., The Mindbody Prescription: Healing the Body, Healing the Pain (Get the book.) |
 "It was coming to grips with the fear of dying, all the imagined and all the real fears. But she no longer feared death itself, because she knew it was inevitable. What she feared was not living, not being able to live life every day with the same sensitivity and altruism she always had. Her volunteer work proved to be the key for overcoming that fear. As she became stronger and stronger day by day, she began to ask herself, "Right now, at this very moment, have I done all that I can?" And the answer was a resounding "Yes."
We live in the human community in order to share our lives with others."- Zorba Paster, M.D. and Susan Meltsner, The Longevity Code: Your Personal Prescription for a Longer, Sweeter Life (Get the book.) |
 "The eating pendulum swings from restraint to binge, sometimes resulting in obsessive eating, fear of food, desperation, and anger. The more dieters fail at dieting, the more likely they are to struggle with emotional eating and to be fearful about weight management and eating in general. They might even become paralyzed by the fear that they will lose all restraint and eat compulsively—a fear not unlike that in eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. Consequently, these people might develop a diet-induced fear of food."- Elizabeth Somer, M.A., R.D., Food & Mood: The Complete Guide to Eating Well and Feeling Your Best, Second Edition (Get the book.) |
 "This section shows you how to integrate these steps into your daily life and how to make hormone-healthy choices that support your weight-loss goals.
A fear of rebound weight gain is common in people who follow this three-step plan and finally take off those extra pounds around their middle. The good news is that these fears almost always prove to be unfounded. Years go by and people on this plan delightedly maintain their desired weight and waistlines.
Why does this plan work for life when other diets have short bursts of weight loss followed by permanent rebound weight gain?"- C. W. Randolph, M.D., From Belly Fat to Belly FLAT: How Your Hormones Are Adding Inches to Your Waistline and Subtracting Years from Your Life (Get the book.) |
 "Practitioners who use chelation believe this resistance arises from fear of competition within the medical establishment, and specifically that chelation threatens the economics of entrenched therapies, such as pharmaceuticals and surgery.
In an attempt to clear up the controversy, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health has launched the first large-scale study of EDTA chelation therapy for patients with coronary artery disease."- Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) |
 "PANIC, ANXIETY, AND DIABETES
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about six million American adults have panic disorder, which is characterized by episodes involving overwhelming fear or anxiety, rapid heartbeat and/or breathing, trembling, profuse sweating, and feeling like you are going to die. Panic attacks occur twice as often in women as in men and are often accompanied by other serious conditions, including depression."- Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.) |
 "The well-founded fear is that we will end up with bacteria that are untreatable, and we will find ourselves in the same situation we faced before antibiotics were discovered. We take it for granted that an infection can be treated, but this is not a given. When antibiotics are prescribed when they aren't needed, society pays a price: at some point, antibiotics could be useless against common infections."
Dr. Rosen agreed: "The overuse of antibiotics has created many problems, not just in pediatrics, but in medicine in general. Kids are developing resistance to many of the common antibiotics."- Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "Calming Your Anxious Mind: How Mindfulness and Compassion Can Free You from Anxiety fear, and Panic by Jeffrey Brantley is a wonderful resource for women committed to bringing down their anxiety levels during pregnancy. Calm Birth: New Method for Conscious Childbirth by Robert Bruce Newman is a good introduction to a meditation program employed by many hospitals and birthing centers. The Calm Birth method prepares women for childbirth through breathing techniques and various other calming practices. Getting massages, either from your partner or a professional, will also help counteract stress." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "Alvarez pointed out, "Women have this fear: 'Oh, my God, I'm going to lose my job. I can't tell my boss [I'm pregnant] yet.' Then they come to me and say, 'My boss wants to know when you're going to deliver me." If you're still working well into your third trimester, try to sit down as often as you can. When you're at home, lie down at frequent intervals to increase the blood flow to your uterus. You'll probably feel tired a lot of the time, especially in the later months of your pregnancy. That's fine—it's perfectly normal. Get as much rest as you need. Nap whenever you get a chance." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This!

 "Hugo began to fear the doctors. When any of them entered the room, he would croak, "I'm full," which was his two-year-old way of saying, "No more."
Finally, one of the doctors mentioned the possibility that Hugo might be having an allergic reaction to cephalosporin.
"Then let's use another drug," Ron said. Ron, who'd gained some expertise in antibiotics from all of Hugo's illnesses, wanted to try erythromycin, which tends to be less allergenic."- Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "In addition, I began to give Paul the medication known as secretin, which is a neurohormone that has many receptors in the brain's amygdala, a primary memory center that is closely linked to fear and to understanding facial expressions. In the late 1990s, a doctor had achieved some amazing results with secretin, and had promoted it as a magic bullet against autism. However, when studies were done, they were understandably inconclusive, since there is no single, isolated substance that can overcome this complex disorder. More changes! More words. Better eye contact. Better behavior." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "Feelings of love generally reside in the most advanced sections of the brain, primarily the frontal lobes of the neocortex, while fear is housed in a distant, more primitive, animalistic area of the brain, the amygdala. The amygdala is a small, almond-shaped area of the brain that is part of the brain's center of memory and emotion, the limbic system. The main job of the amygdala is to make sure you remember all the scary things that you need to know in order to survive. For example, if you ever stepped on a snake and still remember it, it's because your amygdala told you to remember it." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "This inflammation occasionally reaches such a high threshold that it overwhelms the rational areas of the frontal lobes, and allows the tyranny of the lower brain to erupt in manic fear and anger. Not many people in the medical community had, at this time, in the early 2000s, heard of PANDAS. However, I'd noticed a blurb about it, had done some research, and had gotten in touch with the physician who had discovered the condition, Susan Swedo, M.D., the Director of Child Psychiatry at the National Institutes of Mental Health." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) |
 "You keep your adrenal glands working optimally by leading a balanced life—by getting proper rest, avoiding overeating and undereating, eating foods that are easy to digest and not overstimulating, getting proper exercise, and avoiding excess worry, anger, fear, grief, and even joy.
Now, if you are fortunate enough to have entered menopause with strong yin, then you are probably going to do well and thrive during menopause. But such good fortune is rare."- Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) |
| "Unfortunately, many physicians are afraid to use a high dose of niacin because of this unfounded fear. To me this is a tragedy because of all the patients who could be benefiting and who are not. A real liver connection just doesn't exist. There have been a few rare cases reported, the last serious one perhaps thirty or forty years ago.
"I have never encountered a liver problem using high-dose niacin for more than a half century. If I thought for a minute it could cause liver disease, I wouldn't take it. One of my patients is 112 years old, the second oldest person in Canada." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) |

| "They can calm down the body's response to threat, uncertainty, and fear.
As with all drugs, there are some downsides. We don't like to use beta blockers for elderly patients because they might cause mental confusion. There are different types of beta blockers available that you can talk to your doctor about. When appropriate, the medication should be of the cardio-selective type.
Standard, non-cardio-selective beta blockers can trigger asthma attacks. If you have asthma and take one of the standard medications, you could get worse." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) "Eliot coined the term "FUD factor"—for fear, uncertainty, and doubt. He advised that the best way to handle FUD and stress—particularly intense situations of hostility, anger, and explosive rage—was to be aware that these emotions carry a heavy price, including the potential for sudden death. His mantra was: "Don't sweat the small stuff. . . it's all small stuff, anyway." He was also known for glib phrases such as: "People who smoke together, croak together." We highly recommend his book as a humorous read about a serious subject. Eliot's title is well taken." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.) |
 "Perhaps your partner has behaviors that frighten or dismay or irritate you, or perhaps you're the one who botches things because you fear intimacy. Perhaps everything seems fine on the surface, but you find yourself wanting something more—maybe more romance, or more freedom, or more excitement. What can you do about the hunger related to these issues?"- Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) "Since your self-doubts are the first layer of the powerlessness experience that causes the uncontrollable urge to overeat, figuring out how to master your old self-doubts, not fear Harriet, and prevent new self-doubt from being added to your collection by embracing the external reality is the first key to success. In part two, you'll actively attack Harriet by learning how to defend yourself against her accusations, but for now, it will help you to keep these three principles that we've discussed in mind: 1. Your self-doubts represent only a part of yourself, not the whole picture." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) "Barbara De Angelis Another reason we don't fulfill our needs is because we fear failure if we attempt anything new. But no baby walks perfectly the first time, just as adults don't master equivalent challenges right away. And yet, stumbling, looking stupid, and failing frighten most of us so much that stagnation might seem preferable by comparison, and so we make the unfortunate choice to lay low. Once you start avoiding challenges and abandoning your dreams, the road to the fridge is short." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) "You develop a friendly, mature conscience based not on fear and outdated notions, but instead on your experience in the world. Your conscience nudges you a bit when you slip, reminds you to give to the poor, to help someone even when it isn't convenient, and to avoid certain temptations because they're too risky or potentially hurtful to those you love. The ideal end point is 100 percent self-ownership so that you can deal with reality straight on, with an open creative mind, not hampered by outdated, rigid ways of looking at the world." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) |
