 "Neither has the inherent danger of exposing the growing brain to toxic substances."10
The FDA should have come out with an unqualified warning not to prescribe the newer antidepressants to children. It could have required the labels to announce, "Contraindicated in Children and Youth"—meaning, never to be prescribed to children and youth. Although it did not dare go this far, what it did do exceeded expectations and shocked many drug advocates."- Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) "In order to hide this danger, Eli Lilly secretly and against FDA rules prescribed tranquilizers to many of the patients who were taking Prozac in its clinical trials used to obtain FDA approval for the antidepressant. Without informing the FDA, Eli Lilly's top scientist, Ray Fuller, signed an in-house memo—not copied to the FDA—modifying the rules for the clinical trials to permit the administration of tranquilizers along with Prozac in the clinical trials:2 Some patients have converted from severe depression to agitation within a few days." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) "Little felt in danger of losing their son forever. After their frantic efforts failed to get support from local physicians, the family found me and I wrote a letter to the state authorities confirming that I was willing to see Buddy for a second opinion. The authorities refused, claiming the boy was too sick to leave the hospital, even in the care of his parents, and threatened to bring an action to take Buddy away from his mother and father and to make him a ward of the state." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) |
 "Unfortunately, this has meant that these companies' previously safe products are in danger of being laced with problematic chemical ingredients as the companies' new corporate parents cut manufacturing corners or try to maximize company profits. As large corporations made similar in-roads into organic foods, they lobbied the U.S. Congress to dilute organic standards so they could use more synthetic ingredients and still call their products organic or natural."- Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "Manufacturers were advised to alter product labels to reflect this danger. The Canadian alert was based on the International Agency for Research on Cancer's classification of titanium dioxide as a carcinogen in 2006. Two studies in particular (Lee KP et al. Exp. Mol. Paf/to/._42:331-343,1985; and Lee KP et al. Toxicol. Appl. Pltarmacol." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "He was acknowledging what many had come to suspect—that cosmetics containing toxic mercury compounds, and facial powders containing lead, posed a danger to the health of both the male admirers doing the kissing and those women being kissed. Attitudes about cosmetics did not undergo another shift until one thousand years later, when the physician and cosmetologist Abu-al-Qasim al-Zahrawi, a Spanish Moor also known by the name Abulcasis, wrote a thirty-volume medical practices encyclopedia in which one chapter was devoted solely to cosmetics." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "Allergens are not, however, the only, or even the most serious, danger of perfumes and fragrances. In 2007, Consumer Reports financed lab testing of eight perfumes selected at random found hormone-disruptive phthalates DBP and DEHP in every one of them. And in a 1986 report to a committee of the U.S. Congress, the National Academy of Sciences labeled fragrance ingredients as a neurotoxin." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) |
| "I wrote a brief report for the local court stating:
If drug treatment is not discontinued immediately, the danger grows that the tardive dyskinesia will become irreversible, severe, disfiguring, and disabling. For that reason, I requested the opportunity to conduct an emergency evaluation of Buddy Little. His current treating physicians in the state facility have refused to allow Mrs. Little the opportunity to bring him to me.
I also brought up Mrs." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) |
 "Postmenopausal women on long-term Synthroid" therapy may suffer a loss of bone density, increasing the danger of osteoporosis [brittle bones]" (http://www.healthsquare.com/newrx/syn1421 .htm).
10. Most importantly, the majority of diabetics are hypothyroid (requiring thyroid medication). They would thus be taking "diabetic drugs", which as you can see, can interact with Synthroid? There are very few seniors today that at least one of the following risk factors would not apply to, (that is, unless they are high school seniors). Seriously though, if they continue placing children on Ritalin?"- Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.) |
 "There are dangers in signing on to be a speaker sponsored by a pharmaceutical company. One danger is the obligation of reciprocity, which can subconsciously (or consciously) influence a physician to become a marketing agent for the sponsor. Another way physicians might be influenced is by the subde pressure that comes from the knowledge that they might be removed from the speakers' list if they fail to promote the sponsor's products. There is also litde doubt that some speakers "hold back" from criticizing companies' products when the company is buying the butter for their bread."- Jerome P. Kassirer, On the Take: How Medicine's Complicity with Big Business Can Endanger Your Health (Get the book.) |
| "Most mothers are actually warned by their doctor to avoid alcohol, due to the danger to the fetus, of developing the fetal alcohol syndrome, although seldom (if ever) are they warned of the candida/alcohol connection, or the part that sugar can play if they do have the yeast infection, (which as we learned, is surprisingly common). By far, the greatest concern is when a woman is also taking Prozac?(or even worse Paxil?, which "greatly increases the risk of brain damage, due to excessive alcohol". That is especially a concern for the fetus, whose brain is rapidly developing." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.) "Caution is also advisable for anyone with a history of emotional instability or substance abuse, due to the danger of addiction. Excessive doses of this drug over a long period of time can produce addiction. It is also possible to develop tolerance to the drug, so that larger doses are needed to produce the original effect. Careful supervision is required during drug withdrawal, since depression as well as renewed overactivity can be unmasked. Long-term follow up may be needed for some patients. Reports of suicide after drug withdrawal have been reported." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.) "First is the potential danger to the fetus, if the mother begins experiencing seizures. And possibly even worse is, if the mother is placed on the drug Depakote? which many doctors prescribe for the seizures, as there is about one chance in four that their child could wind up with mental retardation! Possibly most important of all is, seldom (if ever) does a woman need any of the medications that can contribute to seizures in the first place. And this is just one of many examples." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.) |
 "To avoid the danger of a heart attack or stroke, the body will attempt to dump the protein into the fluid surrounding the cells (tissue fluid or connective tissue). This thins the blood and averts the imminent danger of serious cardiovascular complications, at least for the time being. However, the dumped protein begins to turn the intercellular fluid into a gel-like substance. In this condition, nutrients that are trying to make their way to the cells may be caught in the thick soup, which increases the risk of cell death due to starvation."- Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) |
 "When the brain perceives some form of danger, it signals the adrenal glands to pump out more adrenaline, often referred to as the "fight-or-flight" hormone. The sudden surge in adrenaline levels signals fat cells to quickly release energy. This energy rush stimulates flight. Once the body is out of danger, the brain continues to signal the adrenal glands that there is a temporary need to keep the adrenaline level elevated. Higher than normal adrenaline levels cause an increase in appetite, which encourages the body to eat more calories and replenish fat stores."- 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.) |
 "All four are in evidence throughout the animal kingdom, and are evolutionarily designed to save us from immediate physical danger.
Yet unlike most animals, stress for humans is not so much about actual physical danger, it's about social behavior. Your most recent stress reactions, like rapid breathing, shakiness, and increased heart rate, were likely to be your response to speaking in public or an argument.
We've all seen people respond physically to social stressors. Picture someone you know who always resorts to fight or preemptive attack when cornered."- 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.) |
| "It is questionable whether the State could adequately demonstrate that school children not routinely immunized create an immediate or a threatened danger to the public. Those children who can not receive the vaccinations for various health reasons have not created a serious health problem for society. The State would have the burden of proving a present or threatened danger to the public according to Yoder." - Tom Finn, Dangers of compulsory immunizations: How to avoid them legally (Get the book.) |
 "The real danger of stepping out of a family role and reclaiming yourself is the danger of being punished, ostracized, and envied by others. You fear being talked about, labeled, and excommunicated from the clan. When you lose weight and become intent on remaking your life, you expose yourself to these ancient anxieties. Your critical conscience tells you that you can feel safe again only if you get fat again.
Look at the most important family-assigned role you've been working on changing (everyone is always working on at least one)."- Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) |
 "Far more dangerous than terrorists
This is an agency that poses far more danger to the public health than any terrorist organization in the world. There have been more Americans killed and injured by the actions of the FDA than in the Vietnam War, and all the terrorist activities, murderers and accidents combined. The FDA is the single most dangerous government agency ever created in the United States, and that's why there is now serious talk of reforming this agency, and making it answer to the people rather than the financial interests of pharmaceutical companies."- Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) |
| "This thins the blood and averts the imminent danger of serious cardiovascular complications, at least for the time being. However, the dumped protein begins to turn the intercellular fluid into a gel-like substance. In this condition, nutrients that are trying to make their way to the cells may be caught in the thick soup, which increases the risk of cell death due to starvation.
The body tries to avoid cell death by initiating another, even more sophisticated, survival response, which is next to ingenious." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) |
 "We have the tools today to avert the danger, some truly amazing diagnostics readily available to patients. But often doctors are unaware of them.
In this chapter, you will learn about some of these lifesaving tests that we believe hold the key to successful CVD prevention, therapy, and risk factor assessment. We'll cover the standard tests first, then go into detail on new procedures that sharpen the detective work needed to unmask plaque and identify someone at risk for sudden death. We'll look at new blood tests and imaging procedures.
We prescribe individual tests depending on the patient."- 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.) |
| "Yet unlike most animals, stress for humans is not so much about actual physical danger, it's about social behavior. Your most recent stress reactions, like rapid breathing, shakiness, and increased heart rate, were likely to be your response to speaking in public or an argument.
We've all seen people respond physically to social stressors. Picture someone you know who always resorts to fight or preemptive attack when cornered. Envision someone who responds with flight, running away from any potential conflict." - 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.) |
 "Medications have their place, but the danger is that symptoms can be masked. Left untreated, imbalances will not be addressed, and over time new symptoms will arise or old symptoms will recur. 2. Partner with a doctor and/or a compounding pharmacist. Fortunately, more and more drug companies are marketing natural versions of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. But not all doctors are trained in using natural hormones. If you don't know whom to contact, try asking a compounding pharmacy what doctors are using natural hormones. Compounding pharmacies can be found in every state."- Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) |
| "Nothing more abrasively ramps up our sympathetic nervous system than constantly thinking about being under attack or being hurt, and responding as if danger lurks around every corner. Blood pressure and heart rate jump up, digestion shuts down, and the immune system prepares for battle.
When this becomes a way of life, we're stuck in the lower-brain functions of reacting, with a direct impact on brain regions that secrete chemicals into the bloodstream. When these chemicals are produced continually, they can negatively affect many organs." - 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.) |
| "And that force, it turned out, was a mistaken idea that being fat would somehow insulate the person from danger, hurt, and despair.
June, at twenty-three, couldn't stand her sister's envy any longer, so she hid in fat, ending the envy, but instead she was drowning in her own resentment about the sacrifice she had to make. Peter hid for the opposite reason. He was so successful at work that the pressure to be even better got to him. It was then that he discovered that when you are fat people no longer expect that much from you." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) "You might have gone on to make your weight a way of retreating into your fat persona when danger threatened, using weight as an excuse for avoiding a host of challenges. And if excess weight has become your protective blanket, then getting thin means losing your security. If you're sure you're "powerless" to protect yourself, then it makes sense that you'd have a considerable investment in keeping the weight on. You might be offended by the suggestion that you actually harbor the desire to be fat, especially given your ardent weight-loss efforts over the years." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) "EXERCISE If there were some real threat or real danger incurred by doing this, could I work it out if I approached it with an open mind and mature adult perspective? Can I separate the real consequences from my catastrophic predictions that have been keeping me from fully emerging? If, in the previous exercises, youVe come to the conclusion that fat doesn't make you safe, then of course it's not worth paying the price for an empty illusion of feeling safe." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.) |
| "Scenario 2: Vulnerable (Unstable) Plaque
This scenario carries the most danger. The fibrous cap starts to erode as a result of ongoing inflammatory assault from within the lesion and from outside. In the necrotic core, cellular breakdown and release of inflammatory substances create internal destabilization. Foam cells, for instance, release chemicals that can weaken the protective cap.
New plaque zones form externally, and the inflammatory chemicals they release, together with circulating destructive substances such as free radicals, also lead to destabilization." - 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.) |
 "Another danger of exercise is that if you have very low glucose while on your insulin, your body may switch to fat to get energy, and this could result in ketoacidosis. For this reason, your blood sugar level should be checked before intense exercise. Another risk could be aggravating a cardiovascular condition, as well as ocular complications. Exercise in Type-2 diabetes usually lowers the blood glucose. For this reason before intense exercise Type-2 diabetics should take less insulin or less oral hypoglycemics."- Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) |
 "A dry mouth is one of the mind's first warning signals of danger. When the mouth is kept lubricated, the brain relaxes, assumes all is well, and turns off its pain receptors, assured that anesthetics have been given.60
A fascinating study by David Spiegel, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University, offers a glimpse of what happens to the brain when an intention is given under hypnosis. His participants were shown a colored grid painting, similar to a Mondrian, and were asked to imagine the color draining from the picture, leaving only black and white."- Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) |
