"On the windswept banks of North Carolina, for the first time in history, an airplane got off the ground and completed a controlled flight. The promise was fulfilled. Airplanes worked. Three decades after the birth of airplanes, they were over Churchill's wartime bunker in London, dropping explosives on the city. "We took it almost for granted that science would confer continual boons and blessings upon us," Churchill explained. But it "was not accompanied by any noticeable advance in the stature of man, either in his mental faculties or his moral character." - William Bonner, Addison Wiggin, Empire of Debt: The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis (Get the book.)

"And it's not from their own pajamas; it's from flame retardants that are used widely, whether in your car or the airplane you're travelling in. Obviously, you don't want to be on an airplane that hasn't been treated with flame retardants, should there be a fire. On the other hand, maybe there's a better product that serves the same purpose, without the same potential health impacts. And I think that's the direction that we have to be going in: pushing for alternatives in the marketplace that provide the same service but don't have the same chemical and health properties." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Finally, an airplane comes smashing down from the sky onto a freeway.17 [In my next dream, I see] huge geometric figures in five different colors hovering and circling over us in the sky. They seem as large as ocean liners. A turquoise colored one comes closest to me . .. They all seemed to shoot a kind of energy on me, which I experience as a healing. I become very relaxed and open to taking in this invisible energy. I would best describe it as a type of heat. [I notice that the dream figure of my son] seems scared, but I tell him not to worry. I explain, "They came to heal me!" - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.) "I used my time to ask about their perception of dream interactions (January 2005): After noticing an odd airplane, I begin to realize this is a dream, and I pull my awareness fully into the dream. (Sometimes this seems like pulling a full bucket from a deep well—it's almost a physical sensation.) I decide to ask the dream residents some questions.... Incredibly, I have an unusually long lucid dream with lots of discussions with various dream figures. As I go on, I realize that it is hard to remember some of the earlier conversations." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.) "Standing on a hillside lucidly aware, I decide to touch the wing of an airplane, which begins to levitate, so I use it to take me where I want to go. I hang on and it goes to places that I want to visit. I find this very easy. While both the sandal and the plane, in some sense, have an association with movement, I still feel surprised by the idea of projecting power into something else in order to fly. Upon waking, I normally remind myself that my belief and expectation alone made the objects fly, even though I projected symbolic power into those items. And, then, I have to wonder." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"Our bodies were never designed to handle: • High levels of radiation from dental x-rays and high-altitude airplane flights • Organo-phosphate nerve-gas pesticide residues • Totally artificial fats (hydrogenated oils, trans-fatty acids, and homogenized fat) • High levels of refined sugar (with the average American now consuming over 137 pounds a year) • A totally fiberless white flour diet (including, breads, pastas, cakes, pop tarts, pastries, tortillas, etc." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Polarity is especially upset by travel, especially airplane travel, and it must be corrected through use of the Polarity Infoceutical early in any NES protocol because the body-field resists changes in other areas until irs Polarity field is corrected. Because the Big Field often also shows distortions when Polarity is distorted, the Polarity Infoceutical also contains Big Field Aligner Infoceutical within it. So, if Big Field and Polarity both show as distorted in a NES scan, only the Polarity Infoceutical need be taken." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"When one arrives at that city by air, one sees from the airplane vast expanses of undeveloped land surrounding it. Moreover, one learns that despite being in a desert, Phoenix has water supplied by the Colorado River and has low water rates as well. Appearances can of course be deceiving. One gets the same impression of vast available land surrounding the city when one visits Las Vegas, but in the case of Las Vegas that land is owned by the U.S. government, and its Bureau of Land Management has been reluctant to release much land for development." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"CHOICE AT 33,000 FEET You're on an airplane flying at 33,000 feet. The airline canceled your original flight so you're already three hours late to a much-anticipated family reunion. After standing in a security line that extended outside the front door, airport agents confiscated your new, expensive skin lotion. Angry and flustered, you get on board, only to find yourself jammed into a middle seat. Your automatic responses begin to spiral down, piling on stress about missing the reunion, fighting the traffic when you arrive, and the sheer incompetence of the airline." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"Transfixed by her account, Dale provides his lucid dream from the same night: I am in a large airplane that is open at the back. I walk toward the opening and fall out. As I am falling toward the ground, I clearly see a mountain below that is sparsely covered with small trees. I look above and see a large multicolored shape that looks like a parachute. Someone is nearby, also falling, but I do not recognize the person. I continue falling. The mountain zooms toward me. I know I am dreaming and decide to leave the dream." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"More than 50 years ago, researchers at the University of Massachusetts trained 14 subjects to operate an airplane flight simulator. Subjects who received the hormone improved significantly compared with controls. A recent study has demonstrated improved memory with pregnenolone use in older people. "The hormone melatonin at doses of .3 milligrams to 6 milligrams is given at bedtime, when indicated, to restore circadian rhythm in place of benzodiazepines, which can depress cognitive function." 6. MENTAL TRAINING." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"If you're still having trouble with this concept, consider the autopilot program on an airplane. Once the human pilot inputs data about the destination into a computer, the autopilot controls direction, speed, thrust, flaps, pitch, and yaw. The autopilot doesn't "see" where the plane is going, doesn't "feel" how fast it is flying, but based on information sent from sensors in the plane or bouncing off satellites, it pretty much "knows" where it is in space and time, allowing it to "fly" the plane and land safely." - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.)

"It turned out that whenever she was visiting her home territory, which was rural, she would be aware that they were spraying by airplane. From a mile away this woman would pick up drifts and her immune system was responding to the solvents and detergents that are used to disperse the sprays over a wide area. But when we measured her cholinesterase, we found that it fluctuated. When it went down—meaning it was inactivated by pesticide exposure—then she would have more symptoms, particularly depressions." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"In the area of transport, steamships gathered resources from the four corners of the world; the internal combustion engine made personal transport an affordable commodity; the airplane compressed weeks of travel time into hours. Everything was accelerating: travel, communication, energy consumption, production, social development. We were constantly creating more change with less human effort. Moreover, the rate of innovation was itself accelerating. In the early days of civilization, major breakthroughs were few and far between." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"The term "homing thought" also reminded him of the direction finder that lost airplane pilots use to find their way home. The homing thought can act as a homing beacon for everyone, particularly during the most difficult moments. "It holds us steadfast," he once wrote, "on our course." Diamond's ideas have not been subjected to scientific scrutiny, but the sheer weight of his anecdotal evidence in using behavioral kinesiology on thousands of patients lends them a certain significance." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Obviously, you don't want to be on an airplane that hasn't been treated with flame retardants, should there be a fire. On the other hand, maybe there's a better product that serves the same purpose, without the same potential health impacts. And I think that's the direction that we have to be going in: pushing for alternatives in the marketplace that provide the same service but don't have the same chemical and health properties." And the marketplace might in fact be moving in this direction." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Dad," Kyle said, "I was born to play golf" Remember Alisa screaming on the airplane, as her parents heard whispers of "spoiled brat" and "crazy"? Remember the time she tore apart her entire room? "I'm just a bad person," she told her mother. I'll always think of her skating at Rockefeller Center. I remember Matthew Smith, who didn't make it. I think of his parents. I remember Teia O'Connor, whose mother refused to lose her to Ritalin. Teia's "goopy feeling" dulled her eyes and made her feel half-dead." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"But these are not healthy responses when sitting in an airplane seat for four hours, unless, of course, there's a tiger or a hostile tribesman sitting in the seat next to you. The first step is to recognize that your unconscious intentions are triggering an internal voice that might be saying: "I don't have any control." "I have to give in to all these negative experiences." "I'm going to be tense and obsessive." Or, "I'm going to prove to myself just how miserable this flight can be." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"Nausea can be caused by a variety of factors including reaction to certain foods, gallbladder imbalances, pregnancy, overeating, a reaction to certain medications, drugs, other therapies, or a heightened sensitivity to motion, such as occurs when riding in an automobile, boat, or airplane. Occasionally the stomach becomes upset as a result of these other conditions, creating the sensation of a need to vomit. Additional symptoms related to nausea may include excessive salivation, pallor, and sweating. Enzymes can soothe the digestive system and maintain proper functioning." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Flying saps your body of water, which increases that sluggish feeling that frequently results from air travel. • airplane Food The in-air eating plan for long flights or the red-eye: Load up on carbohydrates—like pasta or bread with jam—at the beginning of the flight. These can help you relax and get some sleep. About an hour before landing, eat a protein-rich snack—peanut butter crackers or a small sandwich—to boost your energy. • Light Up Your Life When you land early in the morning after an all-night flight, don't immediately crawl into bed with the shades drawn." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Rest in a reclined position in an area where there is the least amount of motion (in the center of a ship or in the wing area of an airplane). Focus your eyes on a distant object and try not to allow your eyes to drift to either side. Or close your eyes and take deep breaths. If possible, lie down in a dark place with a cool, damp cloth over your eyes. Q Stay cool, if possible. Fresh air can assist in battling motion sickness. If in a car, roll down a window. If on a ship, standing on deck and taking in the sea breezes may help. In an airplane, open the overhead vent." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

"Indeed, this sign is known as "airplane ear" or barotrauma, and it is caused by a rapid change in pressure (usually the result of changes in altitude). It's common among pilots, scuba divers, mountain climbers, and roller coaster enthusiasts. The same sensation may mean that the ear is literally stuffed— with excess wax, bits of cotton swab, or even an unwelcome insect. On a more serious note, it SIGN OF THE TIMES Our ear patterns, like our fingerprints, are unique." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Eventually, Don had to quit his job as manager of an Ohio plant that manufactured hydraulic power units for airplane simulators. He went on disability. And finally, when he was forty-eight, he had bypass surgery. But within a few years, the veins used for the bypass closed. After a frightening episode of chest pain while on a hunting trip when he was fifty-four, Don's doctor said there was nothing more he could do. "But he wanted to offer me something," Don says, so he mentioned that a physician named Esselstyn was offering some kind of program." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"Airline seats and airplane plastic and fabric interiors are drenched in flame retardants to meet safety standards. Add to these exposures the ones from your footwear, the insulation in your walls, and the plastic in your computer, video monitor, BlackBerry, and TV. All these have been made with plastics or furniture parts soaked in and manufactured with PBDEs. In the 1950s, during the heyday of the American industrial revolution, a singular new invention, polyurethane, began beefing up manufacturing profit margins as it scaled up the comfort level of the American home." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "And so, they wondered, what would happen if they exposed mice to a lower dose of TCE over a longer period of time—a chronic exposure equal to exactly what a person might have in a tannery or airplane manufacturing company, an amount corresponding to limits already approved of as safe by the EPA for industrial workers? This time around, even at these low doses, Gilbert and Pumford saw an increase in the percentage of cells that expressed CD44." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "Although Becky is not a frequent user of solvents—and has little reason to fret over a one-time use in her garage—frequent use of paint thinners, removers, and mineral spirits by those who use them in occupations such as dry cleaning or airplane manufacturing (to degrease parts) or in the leather industry (to strip and tan hides) have been linked in occupational studies to a two- to threefold risk of developing multiple sclerosis, connective tissue diseases, and the autoimmune disease scleroderma. The problem is, Becky is breast-feeding." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "Other common sources of TCE runoff range from dry-cleaning companies to airplane and machine manufacturers, where TCE is used in stripping metal parts, to leather production, as well as through household use of everything from paint thinners and strippers to many glues and adhesives. (Travel back again through Becky's day and think of her paint stripping and gluing projects, her dry cleaning hanging on her closet door, and the traces of TCE in the water in her afternoon tea and you get the gist of just how pervasive our exposure to TCE is." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Always seeking publicity, he parachuted out of an airplane to celebrate his 80th birthday. Victoria BidWell offers this more detailed history of the Natural Hygiene movement, adapted from The Health Seekers' YearBook: In the early 1800s, medical doctors practiced the following more often than not. They indiscriminately bled the sick to get rid of "bad blood." They practiced burning at the site of diseased tissue. They prescribed purging, puking and poulticing to drive out disease. They fumigated the sick with gasses. They drugged the sick with poisons." - Susan E.
