"Fire Every eighteen seconds a fire department responds to a fire. Every two hours someone dies in one of those fires. In 1997 more than three thousand Americans died in household fires alone. To sidestep this fate: • Equip your home with smoke detectors and keep them in working order. • Obtain and maintain fire extinguishers. Put one by the furnace, another in the kitchen, and one on each floor. • Have a fire plan. Decide on the best exits and escape routes in advance. Then have the whole family practice using them. • If you smoke, take precautions." - Zorba Paster, M.D. and Susan Meltsner, The Longevity Code: Your Personal Prescription for a Longer, Sweeter Life (Get the book.)

"This is akin to fire fighters who show up at fires. They are "associated with," but not considered a cause, of the fires. The fire fighters are there to put the fire out, just like HA attempts to heal the damaged tissue. The difference between cause and association is easily understood by the following example. Let's say investigators want to know the causes of childhood pedestrian accidents. They collect data from all cases where children were hit by automobiles and they find that nearly all of the children were wearing tennis shoes. So, can we conclude that tennis shoes caused the accidents?" - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"Addressing all other [secondary clinical] issues in children with autism is analogous to attempting to put out fires without addressing the cause of the fire itself. The fire will keep re-igniting unless the "spark" is eliminated. Mercury is NOT the fire. It is however, the spark that ignites and constantly re-ignites these "fires" [of secondary clinical issues]. It is the elimination of this "spark, " i.e., mercury, for which we now have an easy and effective solution." - Pat Sullivan, Wellness Piece by Piece: How a Successful Entrepreneur Discovered the Pieces to His Chronic Health Puzzle (Get the book.)

"Whereas pouring buckets of tap water on the fire would never do the job (our current situation of legislating incremental solutions), calling the fire department and waiting for their special equipment to arrive would be what the Simultaneous Policy could do: It would give us the chance to put out the fire once and for all, but at a later time. Our global civic responsibility is to call the firemen to come out quickly, at which time decisive action can reverse the damage. We have been asleep at the wheel of democracy while the fire rages on." - Brian O'Leary, Reinheriting the Earth: Awakening to Sustainable Solutions and Greater Truths (Get the book.)

"When making Christmas logs for the fire you will need only one drop of essential oil per log and only one oil-log per fire. Surprisingly perhaps, this one drop will be enough to provide an aromatic boost to the Christmas ambience. You can use any old wood that happens to be around, but the fire will smell like the wood from which the particular oil was extracted. Simply put 1 drop of a "Firewood" oil onto the log and leave enough time for the oil to soak through before putting it on the fire." - Valerie Ann Worwood, The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy (Get the book.)

"Fire Throughout the Bible, the dominant symbol for the divine essence in man is fire or light. Anyone who enjoys camping can attest to the pleasure of an open fire. A fireplace at home offers the same satisfaction, but because wood burning contributes to air pollution and sinus problems, I recommend a gas fireplace. The simplest and healthiest choice is to enjoy candlelight whenever possible. Water I have already emphasized the importance of drinking plenty of water. Now I am suggesting that you immerse yourself in it. There is nothing quite so relaxing as bathing in warm water." - Robert Ivker, Sinus Survival: The Holistic Medical Treatment for Allergies, Asthma, Bronchitis, Colds, and Sinusitis (rev., 3rd ed.) (Get the book.)

"Histamine fires all the neurotransmitters in the brain, so loading them up is one thing but getting them to fire is another. To reload histamine, to raise those levels, you use B3, B12, folic acid, and histidine. Within weeks, the marijuana user may be back to feeling normal again. Alcoholics say they have been anxious since childhood. They are really enamored of alcohol because it relieves the anxiety for awhile. If their anxiety is not relieved, they will go right back to drinking again. Often there are high tryp-topyrols that are blocking the B6 and zinc, keeping them anxious." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Fire your doctor The next tip is to fire your old-school doctor. If you have an MD who attempts to take away your power, who insists that you should not educate yourself about your symptoms or disease, who claims that only prescription drugs and surgery can help you and you should avoid herbs, homeopathy, chiropractic care, massage or acupuncture, then you need to fire that doctor. Help put people like that out of business, because they represent everything that's wrong with conventional medicine." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"Each sensory nerve is physically capable of relaying signals at a certain maximum rate, because a nerve cell which has fired cannot fire again until about one millisecond later. Therefore, immediately after a particular nerve has fired, the computer has at least one millisecond to decide whether, and when, that nerve should fire again. If it has computed that decision within, say, half a millisecond, no tampering with the brain's speed is necessary, and the computer merely fires the nerve at the appropriate times." - David Deutsch, The Fabric of Reality: The Science of Parallel Universes and Its Implications (Get the book.)

"If I lucidly dream of a fire, for example, and expect to feel no heat upon walking in it, I'll feel no heat. If I change my expectation to feel the fire's heat, my new expectation will be realized, and I'll feel definite heat. My lucid dreaming experiences made me wonder how extensively the mind influences perception and sensation while waking. Conscious in the dream state, the influence seems pervasive. During waking, I simply assumed I experienced things "as they actually exist." Yet I knew from my exposure to hypnosis that waking sensory experience could actually be considerably modified." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"If your child has found a particular genre or series of books to read avidly, set up a serene family reading hour, where all family members gather in a common room with their books and magazines, light a fire in the fireplace, and enjoy hot beverages and a plate of healthy snacks. How you indulge your child's passions is up to you. As long as you convey to your child that investing energy in healthy activities can bring great rewards, and that they can enhance their enjoyment of activities if they simply stick with them, then you will have done a great thing." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"Whereas pouring buckets of tap water on the fire would never do the job (our current situation of legislating incremental solutions), calling the fire department and waiting for their special equipment to arrive would be what the Simultaneous Policy could do: It would give us the chance to put out the fire once and for all, but at a later time. Our global civic responsibility is to call the firemen to come out quickly, at which time decisive action can reverse the damage. We have been asleep at the wheel of democracy while the fire rages on." - Brian O'Leary, Reinheriting the Earth: Awakening to Sustainable Solutions and Greater Truths (Get the book.)

"Because glutamate and other excitatory neurotransmitters normally cause the nerve cells to fire electrically, it is believed that, in excess, they cause neurons to fire (excite) themselves to death. Although it is fairly easy to demonstrate this destructive process in a variety of experimental circumstances, for example nerve cells isolated in a dish, no one is sure that this excitatory damage actually occurs in any natural disease process." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"As my friend, nutritionist Robert Crayhon is fond of saying, "there's no double-blind study to prove that water puts out fire, but the entire New York City fire department operates on the presumption that it's a good working hypothesis!" So What Is Natural Medicine, Anyway? Try for a minute to come up with your own definition of "natural medicine" and you'll quickly get an idea of the difficulty I was faced with in writing this section of the book. Is it medicine that starts life as a plant?" - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"He remarks that it is generally believed that there are three separate genuses of fire, whose natures are different and which cannot intermingle. The fire of the sun has a fructifying and generating power, since it helps crops to grow, while earthly fire is generally malign, for "the heat of fire wastes and destroys."17 However, this too hasty categorization slips the following fact: "When a branch of vine is brought within a house where a fire is constantly kept up, the grapes ripen on it a whole month sooner than they do out of doors... so the ripening of fruit..." - Gary Null, James Feast, AIDS: A Second Opinion (Get the book.)

"Technological innovations included the control of fire, the invention of the wheel, the design of progressively more sophisticated tools, and the invention of more and more powerful devices for extending the power of human muscle and the human brain. Such innovations enabled humans to live in larger and larger communities, with progressively greater social differentiation and divisions of labor. Following the discovery of how to ignite, conserve, and transport fire, the paramount innovation was pastoralism and the early forms of agriculture." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"Jones about herself, she told me she spent all of her summers on fire Island, a narrow sandbar off the coast of New York's Long Island. fire Island is right in the middle of the "Lyme Belt," an area of the United States that's filled with deer (and the ticks they carry) and extends from the Northeast to Michigan. Somehow her doctor had not considered Lyme in evaluating her. Once Mrs. Jones's blood test came back positive for Lyme disease, antibiotic treatment quickly cured her fatigue." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Just as a parched forest may be predisposed to a forest fire, if there is a big rain, or no match or spark, then there is no fire. But if something ignites the fire it may burn out of control. Here is a statistic that is very important to focus on: Less than 10 percent of those with increased genetic susceptibility for type 1 diabetes actually develop the disease.' Identifying the factors that predispose the insulin-producing cells to damage as well as those that trigger their destruction are some of our key goals in this chapter." - Michael T. Murray, Beat Diabetes Naturally: The Best Foods, Herbs, Supplements, and Lifestyle Strategies to Optimize Your Diabetes Care (Get the book.)

"Foster said that his understanding was that Medicare officials "would try and fire me" for doing so. The Times reported that the director of Medicare, Thomas A. Scully, denied having threatened to fire Foster, but did acknowledge having instructed Foster to "withhold certain information from Congress." Just six weeks after the president signed the bill, the price tag was publicly acknowledged to be fully one-third higher than the $400 billion Congress had been promised. How did this happen?" - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"The poet Robert Frost may have encountered this same problem and reflected upon it in "Fire and Ice:" Fire and Ice Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if I had to perish twice, 1 think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. There are those patients who cannot decide between fire (RT), ice (cryosurgery), or surgery and who instead putsue objectified ongoing observation. But as my father used to tell me, "That's what makes horse racing." - The Life Extension Editorial Staff, Disease Prevention and Treatment (Get the book.)

"Malathion is highly flammable, so children treated for lice should stay away from fires to keep their heads from catching on fire. Side effects are rare and include scalp irritation and eye inflammation (conjunctivitis). Malathion is not absorbed into the body in significant quantities. Although the product label instructs the user to leave it on for eight hours, this is overkill, and can eventually lead to lice resistance, so these recommendations should not be followed. It should not be used by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Thus, to help put out the fire in your arteries, you need to put out the fire in your mouth. We believe, in fact, that good oral hygiene is more important than lowering cholesterol. If you clean up the bacterial act in your mouth, signs of CVD disease, such as CRP level, go down. That means there's less inflammation in your system from top to bottom. For advice on highly effective measures you can do on your own to counteract bacterial infections of the mouth, we consulted Paul H." - 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.)

"During ice storms, radar-activated hail guns fire sonic waves that melt the ice pellets into rain. Leonardo da Vinci suggested planting citrus orchards near streams, so that the water could power heat-generating fans in the winter. Today, digital alarms linked to propane heaters and windmill-like hot-air machines protect crops during chills. Helicopters are flown over plantings to circulate warm air and disperse mist or moisture. Trees are also hosed down by sprinkler systems: as water freezes onto the plants, it releases heat." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "Arthur Hull Hayes, the head of the FDA responsible for the decision, came under fire for accepting corporate gifts and left his post in 1983 (that year, NutraSweet brought in $336 million dollars). Hayes was promptly hired by Searle's public relations firm, Burson-Marsteller. Concerns about aspartame's toxicity continue to surface in ongoing studies. With all these suspicious sweeteners swirling around, perhaps the government was just being extra-prudent. FDA employee Virgil Wodicka claims that the agency disapproved of Miralin staging kiddie taste tests before approval had been granted." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "Using brute force as their main negotiating tactic, representatives of the United Fruit Company opened fire on striking workers in the Santa Marta Massacre of Colombia. Their "Great White Fleet" was used in the world wars to transport soldiers and supplies. They funded the Bay of Pigs invasion to protest Castro's nationalization of plantations. They engaged the Hon-duran army to bulldoze villages to make way for processing plants and banana fields. They were caught by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission bribing Central American presidents to reduce export taxes." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "By the time they ran up to the second floor, the intruder had escaped through the fire exit. Hearing the metal door bang shut at the shipping dock below, they rushed over to the front window, where they saw a car speed off into the night. File cabinet drawers were open, and files were lying scattered on the floor. A police investigation determined that whoever had ransacked their office had done so professionally: none of the locks were jammed and the alarm system had been fully dismantled. A week later, as the intrigue mounted, what Harvey calls a "cataclysmic event" occurred." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)
