"Synonyms: BARIUM HYPOSULFITE batteries__ Products and Uses: There are five main types: lead storage batteries for autos, motorcycles, lawnmowers, and so on; zinc chloride or zinc carbon batteries for calculators and clocks; alkaline batteries used in cameras and radios; nickle-cadmium rechargable batteries that can be used repeatedly; and button cell batteries used in watches and hearing aids. batteries are not energy efficient. Their manufacture requires 50 times more energy than they will produce." - Grace Ross Lewis, 1001 Chemicals in Everyday Products (Get the book.)

"Nickel: Dental crowns and root canals, hydrogenated oils, inexpensive jewelry, batteries, cigarette smoke, stainless steel ?Lead: Old paint, automobile exhaust, insecticides, bullets, pewter ware, some hair colorings, tap water, batteries, pottery glazes, candle wicks, stained glass ?Cadmium: Cigarettes, batteries, automobile exhaust, pink dyes used in dentures, welding fumes, ceramic glazes, many art supplies, Teflon, fungicides, plastic ?Copper: Some cooking utensils and plumbing, gold dental fillings and crowns, insecticides ?" - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Normal, healthy hearts have full batteries. There's enough energy to fully power all the cellular mechanisms with a reserve remaining to handle unforeseen stress. Hearts that are marginally oxygen-starved (chronic hypoxia) have batteries that are being drained of power. They may (or may not) have enough energy to fuel basic cellular functions, but there are no energy reserves to tap, and unforeseen demands for additional energy cannot be met. Any additional stress placed on the heart puts it at considerable risk." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Totally ischemic or severely hypoxic hearts, with minimal oxygen and energy, have inefficient batteries to fuel cellular functions. There may not be enough power in these hearts to drive even the most basic energy-consuming functions, and these hearts are at extreme vulnerability. Anything that can be done to restore cellular energy in hearts lacking oxygen, such as those found in patients with angina, heart failure, left ventricular enlargement, or even hypertension, is a benefit. The Case of Joe—Against All Odds Joe was nearly 60 when I first saw him in 1977." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "Energy-sustaining nutrients that can recharge our batteries, like coenzyme Qiq, L-carnitine, D-ribose, and even the common mineral magnesium—provide physicians, especially cardiologists, with natural alternative tools that will help improve the quality of their patients' lives. By supporting the production of ATP, which provides the energy foundation of life, this "awesome foursome" of nutrients can also help those suffering from chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, as well as athletes and weekend warriors." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Reid mentioned that there were many sources of contamination in these studies, one of which was that he discovered that he had to remember to use fresh batteries, because previously used batteries confounded the findings by creating albumin-salt crystals in pure salt solutions! If Reid's "confounding" factor is correct, another prediction of the systemic memory process may be demonstrable. Our recent research on the Reid paradigm is included here in appendix B. Throughout the ages, stories have been told about the mystery and power of crystals." - Gary E. Schwartz and Linda G. S. Russek, The Living Energy Universe (Get the book.)

"Cadmium sources include tap water, fungicides, marijuana, processed meat, rubber, seafood (cod, haddock, oyster, tuna), sewage, tobacco, colas (especially from vending machines), tools, welding material, evaporated milk, airborne industrial contaminants, batteries, instant coffee, incineration of tires/rubber/plastic, refined grains, soft water, galvanized pipes, dental alloys, candy, ceramics, electroplating, fertilizers, paints, motor oil, and motor exhaust." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Give your kids toys that don't require batteries. Toys powered by a child's imagination are often more educational and allow for more imaginative play than battery-powered toys. Battery-free toys also reduce the demand for the toxic components used in battery production and the burden put on the waste stream when they have run out. Buy toys that have been made in the U.S.A. Buying domestically manufactured toys has several benefits: it supports jobs and local economies, and it also reduces the fossil fuels needed to ship items." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Lead exposure comes from paints, batteries, and drinking water flowing through lead-lined pipes. Lead emissions from industry pollute our food and water. Bone lead content in a healthy individual is a hundred times greater than that of a healthy person a hundred years ago. Lead content is directly linked to an increased risk for CVD, hypertension, kidney disease, and even psychiatric symptoms. Children are actually more susceptible to such toxicity than adults. Their primary vulnerability involves the brain and other components of the nervous system." - 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.)

"Keep flashlights in working order and store extra batteries. 9. Get a clock or watch that runs on batteries. 10. Have a propane grill and enough fuel to last three weeks. 11. Get a battery-operated radio or television. 12. Get a telephone that doesn't require electricity to work. 13. Charge your cell phone. 14. Fill your gas tank. 15. Have markers and poster board at your door for writing messages to emergency workers. to enhance your immune system." - J. E. Williams, Beating the Flu: The Natural Prescription for Surviving Pandemic Influenza and Bird Flu (Get the book.)

"Natural sea salt recharges cells just like batteries get charged. It also improves digestion by enhancing hydrochloric acid production, stabilizes bodily functions and fluids, and provides natural sodium that is required by the body's acid buffer system. When salt is processed or even heated by boiling, natural iodine, which is required for many hormonal and metabolic functions in the body, is destroyed. Technically, sea salt is a complex, balanced mixture of essential minerals the body needs and craves in almost the exact proportions." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"There was photovoltaics (using solar cells), or fuel cells, or water batteries (an attempt to convert the hydrogen from water into electricity in the cell). There was wind, or waste products, or even methane. But none of these, even the more exotic among them, were turning out to be robust or realistic. Bill and Hal agreed that what was really needed was an entirely new source: a cheap, endless, perhaps as yet undiscovered, supply of energy. Their conversations often veered off in this kind of speculative direction." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Without a properly-balanced salt base we run out of electrolytes, and our "batteries die out." Refined table salt, and even many of the processed "sea salts" available from healthfood stores, can promote pathological calcification and a breakdown of cellular tissue. Our blood requires natural whole salt to function because our cells must be bathed in a sodium-based fluid. Digestion depends on having a sufficient quantity of stomach hydrochloric acid to properly digest food and emulsify fats and oils. Hydrochloric acid can only be produced if chlorine is available in the right ratio." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "It simply means our reserves of electrical energy are down; our batteries are getting low. Remember that each cell in the body functions as a little electrical battery. The body depends on living, electrically active food that is suitable for conversion into electrical matrices to recharge its own cells. All processes that take place in the body are electrical in nature. Healing, getting stronger, and overcoming disease all depend on adequate reserves of energy being available. Most of the energy we feel during the day is manufactured the night before, while we are asleep." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "Such foods contain no life force energy, just as dead batteries have no electricity or life. The human body can only be recharged from food sources that are electrically alive. The electrical energy or vibratory frequency of a healthy human body is in the range of 62-78 megahertz (MHz).3 As the body frequency is lowered, disease states begin to set in. Dead food, including cooked food that has no electrical vibrancy, plays a significant role in lowering the body's electrical reserve." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Nervous vibrations surrounding and affecting the body are said to be bio-magnetic and referred to as 'charged batteries'. Based on the knowledge that electric currents (nerve impulses) flow through the body between cell surfaces, it is believed that magnetic fields can influence the nervous system. Magneton therapy or bio-energetic acupuncture replaces the more traditional needles with magnetic fields, to re-establish the body's energy circuits or chi." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"But when the body is exposed to too much stimulation and is unable to rebalance itself, its "batteries" can no longer fully be recharged. With "flat batteries," the physical engine is unable to rid itself of all the metabolic and cellular waste generated minute by minute, day after day, and year after year. As a result, much of the waste and its resulting toxins spread throughout the body. Wherever they occur in extremely high concentrations, they provoke a toxicity crisis. Such a crisis indicates that the body's resistance to disease (immunity) has dropped to a level of low efficiency." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Old car batteries: Automobile batteries should be recycled, repaired, and reused. Acid and metals in old batteries pose a hazard due to their toxic and corrosive natures. Contact a local battery shop, listed in the yellow pages of the telephone book under "Batteries-Storage-Retail." Used motor oil: Do not dump waste oil on the driveway, on the soil, into storm sewers, or down the drain or toilet. Used motor oil should be taken to an oil recycling center or to a gas station where it is collected, then taken to a reprocessing plant." - Linda Mason Hunter, The Healthy Home: An Attic-to-Basement Guide to Toxin-Free Living (Get the book.)

"Among the several potential causal agents, apart from diet, that have been proposed are (1) occupational exposures (rubber industry; manufacture of products containing cadmium, such as paints and batteries; use of agriculture chemicals); (2) sexually transmitted agents (e.g., cytomegalovirus); (3) smoking; (4) alcohol use; (5) vasectomy; and (6) physical activity [15, 18-21]. However, the evidence is not yet convincing for any of these exposures." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"Hans Eppinger found that all cells are essentially batteries that seem to be charged up when people are healthy. Sick people's cells exist in a discharged state. Only uncooked foods are able to provide the body with the needed nutrients to restore and maximize the cells' battery potentials. Dr. John Douglass theorizes that live foods have a "higher energy ability to awaken relatively inert molecules in our systems by either taking an electron or giving them one. This high-energy electron transfer ability is described as the 'high redox potential' of a particular molecule" (Conscious Eating, p." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "The wear and tear school of medical thought teaches us that skin can be molded to look younger, hair can be moved around on the scalp to look thicker, and organs and even body parts can be removed and/or replaced just as easily as we change the oil or replace the batteries in our cars. As pointed out in our medical disclaimer at the end of Chapter 4, many of these wear and tear procedures are absolute blessings to people who have bone on bone at the hip and knee for example." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"For people who make a lot of short trips and live in a warm or moderate climate where batteries perform best, an electric car is cool. Most electric cars can go from 50 to 100 miles on a single charge of their batteries. The average U.S. car travels about 27 miles a day, so an electric car can be a clean, efficient choice, especially as a second vehicle used for urban commuting. Most of today's electric cars use regular lead-acid batteries, but some have more advanced batteries, e.g., nickel-metal hydride or lithium-ion." - Denis Hayes, The Official Earth Day Guide to Planet Repair (Get the book.)
