"There you will find information about the dates and objectives of future intention experiments. We will plan those dates to coincide with times of a fair degree of geomagnetic activity. Mark those dates in your diary now, and if you intend to participate, it is vital that you don't forget. We have a number of experiments planned, but as scientific experiments are expensive to carry out and require lengthy analysis, there will be sizable intervals between experiments. If you miss an intention experiment, you will have to wait a few months for another one." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"No-Lynne and Paul sat outside on the curb. Play dates? With whom} Paul Duty didn't consist of play dates. Ordinary family life was over, practically before it had begun. Then one night Wesley was channel-surfing and came across a scene of a child staring hypnotically at water running out of a faucetlike Paul! It was a segment on Cable News Network. The moment it was over, Wesley hurried to his computer, dialed-up the relatively new Internet, and typed in A-U-T-I-S-M. "Lynne. You've gotta look at this! I think Paul has autism."

"A very sweet, high-carbohydrate fruit harvested from the date palm trees, dates are found naturally in the "dried" state, though fresh dates may have a little more moisture. Date sugar extracted from dates is used as a sweetener. dates are fairly rich in niacin, pantothenic acid, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. They are surprisingly concentrated in iron; about ten medium dates contain 3 mg. iron. Figs. Figs can be eaten in the fresh or dried form, though packaged, dried figs are most common." - Elson M.

"The rest split into two groups: one that dates chemical sensitivity to a time at or after they had developed their other symptoms (such as chronic fatigue), and the other saying their chemical sensitivity dates back many years. The presence of this second group leads me to wonder whether, for some people, chemical sensitivity, even if mild, is a risk factor for developing fatigue or pain later in life. While I don't have an answer to that question, it's clear that there is some overlap among CFS, FM, IBS, and MCS." - Benjamin H.

"Various dates have been proposed for these ultimate catastrophes. Many thought the turn of the first millennium, A.D. 1000, would be the end. The twelfth-century Cistercian abbot, Joachim of Fiore, thought the end would come in the year 1200, while others focused on similar dates. Hardly a century has turned without large numbers of people prophesying that the end was nigh. Thus, it is not surprising to find many contemporary prophecies focusing around the year 2000. Why, then, should we take current warnings any more seriously than previous ones?" - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"Whether that means occasionally forgetting dates, misplacing keys and cell phones, losing words and names on the tip of your tongue, or storming around outside someone else's hotel door in Osaka like a modern-day Godzilla, we can expect that these events will become more common as our bodies and minds age. Although occasional memory slippage may be a normal consequence of getting older, when memory problems begin to interfere with your day-today activities there is a fine line between casually dismissing slippages and needing to seek a doctor's help." - Peter J.

"When you do eat fruits, eat low-calorie, low-starch, high-fiber fruits, such as apples, and avoid tropical and sugary fruits, such as pineapple, melons, and dates. 7. Limit caffeinated drinks, because they contribute to blood sugar spikes. 8. Strictly limit fruit juices. If they are consumed, make sure they are highly diluted with water. A good rule for the anti-hypoglycemia diet is: Don't drink your calories. 9. Eat frequent, high-protein meals and snacks, to help stabilize blood sugar levels. Your kids can feel better fast on this diet." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"For each system that would be affected, a small program was made available to users that would allow for a smooth transition from dates that began with the "19" of the 1900s to those that began with the "20" of the 2000s—the Y2K patch. As they say, the rest is history. The patch worked, and our software will tide us over until new programs are developed or the year 2100 arrives, whichever comes first. The point is simply this: Could something similar be happening to us right now? And if so, can we fix our glitch? Can we rewrite the beliefs that may have limited us in the past?" - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"While the quinoa is simmering, chop the dates and combine with the berries, honey, and cinnamon. Add this fruit mixture to the simmering quinoa during the last 5 minutes it is cooking.

"I was sharing a pound of dates with Roy one afternoon, each of us farting our butts off as we sat on different sides of the couch, when the lightbulb turned on. I stared at the deep bowl filled with pits on the coffee table and I had one of those Aha! moments. The dates, figs, and raisins I was devouring daily had to be the causes of my present imbalance. No matter that they were organic, natural, or anything else. The water content had been eliminated in the drying, which concentrated the sugar content." - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.)

"Slightly more problematic are the likely dates of the plague's return to Antioch (which would be struck two more times before 590) and its arrival in Nisibis, but the best estimates are that the cities greeted the demon in 560. Elias of Nisibis records a plague in his city in 599, and Michael the Syrian a deadly outbteak in Palestine in 626." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"A high-glycemic diet also includes cooked beets and carrots, rutabaga, summer squash, cooked yams, pumpkin, parsnips, white potatoes, apricots, figs, grapes, raisins, melons, mangos, bananas, papaya, pears, peaches, plums, pineapple, kiwi, sapote, cherimoya, rambutian, durian, dates, and dried fruits. All fruit juices, carrot juice, and beet juice are also high-glycemic foods. High insulin index foods, which are low on the glycemic index but still diabetogenic, include meat, fish, chicken, and dairy." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Take a look at the expiration dates on the drawn to them recently that trans fats are being banished from many foods by restaurants and food manufacturers. (Cities like New York are leading the charge and banning trans fats in restaurants. Other cities and states are following the Big Apple's example.) So it is becoming easier to avoid trans fats when you eat out. The even better news about trans fats in terms of SuperFoods is that if you're following the SuperFoods plan you don't need to even think about trans fats. All of the SuperFoods are whole foods; none contain artificial trans fats." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"The study of plant alkaloids for use as a cancer treatment dates to the 1950s, when scientists studying an herbal remedy made from the Madagascar periwinkle (Vinca rosea or Catharanthus roseus) found it to contain "medicinally active vinca alkaloids," some of which became the first phytochemicals used in cancer treatment. Many chemotherapy drugs like vinblastine and vincristine today are based on these natural plant molecules, but they can cause many side effects and are extremely toxic." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"In other cases, such as coconuts or dates, it proved impossible to find a fruit's birth spot. The center of origin might be too diffuse, or covered by a city, or perhaps the forest was destroyed for lumber. Eons-old changes in climate may also have eradicated many clues. Going back even further, researchers have been probing the fossil record for evidence of the prototypical fruit. Life began billions of years ago with single-cell organisms underwater. Some of the earliest plants to emerge from the depths some 450 million years ago were ferns and mosses." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "Fertile Crescent were growing olives, dates, pomegranates and grapes. Land-owning Sumerians, Egyptians and Greeks enjoyed a slim selection of hard-to-grow fruits, which were widely cultivated during the Roman empire. Caesars returned from overseas victories bearing never-before-seen fruits as talismans. Planting throughout the empire, Romans brought seeds wherever they roamed. We tend to think of the apple as British, or even American, but it was spread by Rome, via the Caucasus." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "The finest dates in the world grow in the khlas groves of al-Mutairfi in Saudi Arabia. The white loquat is only available in the last weeks of May in Suzhou, China. The cannibal tomato is used in Polynesian headhunter sauce. The butter fruit is a creamy fruit best enjoyed in the Philippines, as is the yellow, lycheelike alupag and the kalmon. According to Florence Strange, when opened, the kalmon "reveals a beautifully spiraled gelatinous center with tentacles radiating out from the top." The honied mohobo-hobo is mixed into an orange porridge called mutundavaira in Southeastern Africa." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "He ate dates in the souks of Fez and the oases of Algiers. The last descendent of the kings of Kandy taught him how to eat watermelon-sized honey jacks (far superior than regular jackfruit). In 1905, he married Alexander Graham Bell's daughter Marian. Together they traveled, finding yellow raspberries in Padang and the square, angular fruits of the Barringtonia speciosa in Mozambique. In Siaoe, dozens of softly singing children followed the newlyweds around the entire island. As he grew older, Fairchild started dispatching other fruit hunters to still unexplored regions." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)
