"The spark plugs don't determine whether or not the gasoline will burn. Instead, they provide the ignition needed to release the energy in the gasoline, creating the explosion of power needed to move the car forward. The amount of gasoline you supply to the spark plugs will, in large part, determine their efficiency. If they are not given enough gas, the spark plugs will still burn what they are given, but the explosion will be inefficient and may not be powerful enough to move the car. The engine will sputter, and, if there is not enough gas to keep it going, it will die." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"You are spraying gasoline on the fire by continuing to eat the very same foods that caused the disease in the first place. I don't want my patients to pour a single thimbleful of gasoline on the fire. Stopping the gasoline puts out the fire. Reforming the way you eat will end the heart disease. Here are the rules of my program in their simplest form: • You may not eat anything with a mother or a face (no meat, poultry, or fish). • You cannot eat dairy products. • You must not consume oil of any kind—not a drop." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"The amount of gasoline you supply to the spark plugs will, in large part, determine their efficiency. If they are not given enough gas, the spark plugs will still burn what they are given, but the explosion will be inefficient and may not be powerful enough to move the car. The engine will sputter, and, if there is not enough gas to keep it going, it will die. The amount of substrate (gasoline) provided to the enzymes (spark plugs) is key to efficient operation. While your car has a fuel gauge telling you how much energy you have left in the tank, your cells do not." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Benzene is present in crude oil and gasoline and is an important industrial chemical which is used in industry as a solvent or to make other chemicals and products such as dyes, detergents, nylon and plastics. It is found in everyday items including gasoline, paints and paint removers. Benzene is a clear, colorless and flammable liquid with a sweet odor. Research conducted since the 1980s by the National Cancer Institute has found that workers exposed to benzene, even at relatively low levels, have lower levels of white blood cells." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"When the price for gasoline goes up, we just complain. The TV commentators talk about it a little bit, and tomorrow the topic is forgotten. And then we accept. "But what would happen if we would just not agree? What would happen if the consumers would join together and all together say to one of those companies, 'No, we will no longer buy gasoline from you until the price is really low.' "After awhile it would have to accept lower prices in order to avoid bankruptcy. Then one could take on the next oil company." "So what is your dream? " Gerd Schaller: "May I give a really long answer?" - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"Americans spent more on prescription drugs in 2004 than they did on gasoline or fast food. They paid twice as much for their prescription medicines that year as they spent on either higher education or new automobiles. The American prescription drug market is so lucrative that many foreign drug companies have moved in and now depend on Americans for most of their profits. For foreign executives, the math is simple." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Examples of other common xenoestrogens are dioxin plastics, chlorinated products, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are derived from gasoline and oil combustion and found in cigarette smoke and charbroiled meats. They are literally everywhere—in our plastics, food wraps, water, air, spermicides, nail polish, and vaginal lubricants. As if these kinds of environmental exposure were not enough, we women may be smearing carcinogens on our bodies every day unknowingly." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"The level of lead, as measured in blood tests, has fallen by 90 percent in recent years, largely as a result of the elimination of lead from gasoline and the reduced use of lead-soldered cans in food processing. Nevertheless, this has not translated into a reduction in our total body lead burden. That's because lead locks itself into cells, such as bone cells, and we don't really have a good natural mechanism to get it out." - 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.) "For your arteries, stress is like an arsonist with matches in one hand and a gasoline can in the other. You must disarm this perpetrator before he hurts you. The first thing to realize is that stress is not what happens to you—those outside forces are the stressors—but rather how you react to what happens. The amount of stress you feel is based on your perception of an event, a person, or a place far more than on the impetus of stress itself. So, when you feel stress, you perceive a threat to your physical or mental well-being that you may or may not be able to respond to adequately." - 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.) "But you may have five mutations in your liver that mean you better cut down on well-done cheeseburgers, increase your intake of cruciferous vegetables, avoid exposure to polyaro-matic hydrocarbons present in gasoline fumes, and get out of the business you are in because exposure to certain chemicals could increase the risk of certain cancers or accelerated aging. "People always tend to listen to us more after their heart attacks." - 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.)

"It is found in everyday items including gasoline, paints and paint removers. Benzene is a clear, colorless and flammable liquid with a sweet odor. Research conducted since the 1980s by the National Cancer Institute has found that workers exposed to benzene, even at relatively low levels, have lower levels of white blood cells. Currently, the National Cancer Institute states that exposure to benzene may increase the risk of developing leukemia. • Laundry Detergent and other household cleaners also contain chemicals that are suspected to be carcinogens." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"This futile attempt by ADHD adults to feel better has been likened to trying to put out fires with gasoline. It just makes the situation worse. Many ADHD adults and adolescents turn to stimulating drugs, such as cocaine, crack, amphetamines, and methamphetamines. These dopamine-enhancing drugs can temporarily soothe not only the symptoms of the inattentive subtype of ADHD, but also those of the hyperactive-impulsive subtype. Ritalin, of course, can also be abused, and is often the abusive drug of choice among many adults and adolescents with ADHD." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"These included perfluorochemicals, or PFCs (found in some stain and oil repellants); flame retardants used in the manufacturing of furniture foam, computers, televisions, and kids'furniture; metals (lead, mercury, arsenic, much of which enters the environment through burning coal, gasoline, and garbage), and chlorinated dioxins." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Before lead paint and leaded gasoline were banned, exposure levels were much higher. However, they are still a major problem. Toxic metals, like lead and mercury, are highly persistent in the environment and can be carried far distances in the atmosphere, getting deposited far from their place of origin. For example, coal-burning, lead- and mercury-belching smokestacks in China send their toxic load to the most remote and wild areas of America. Lead and mercury from facilities like these also end up on our driveways and streets and on our carpets and floors where children play." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"But thinking that simply getting enough calories is enough would be like thinking that gasoline is the only thing you need to put into your car. How long would your car run if the only thing you serviced it with was fuel but neglected to add or change oil, brake fluid, radiator coolant, spark plugs and so on? Raw food contains numerous essential nutrients that are either damaged or destroyed by heat. Most of them have been discovered only within the last century or a little more." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"The bus drivers let the engines idle for long periods, resulting in all the gasoline fumes and hydrocarbons entering the ductwork intake and circulating throughout the school. Dr. Rapp describes some of her cases involving environmental allergies. "In one case I encountered, a school had a printing press, and the exhaust pipe from the printing press was at exactly the same level as the ventilation intake on the roof, with the result that all the chemicals from the printing press were going right back in and circulating throughout the school." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"In reality, giving antidepressants to someone who tends to get manic is like pouring gasoline on a fire, but in Michael's case, as in every child I have seen in recent years, there was no justification for a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Mrs. Weathers, who is now president of www.ablechild.org, an organization devoted to "label- and drug-free education," testified before an FDA panel in 2004." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Examples of halogen sources include gasoline, disinfectants and cleaning solutions, toothpaste, dyes, and medicines. Most drugs, in fact, are made with chlorine (you'll see the "CI" in drug labeling). It's been said that you absorb the vast majority of the sun's damage to your skin by the time you reach the ripe old age of eighteen. Well, it has also been suggested that by the time you were six months old, you had already absorbed about 30 percent of your total lifetime toxic load of chemicals." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"With poor octane energy fuel, the cylinders in the car's high-performance engine (where the gasoline is ignited) would not have sufficient force to move the pistons evenly. The energy available to drive the car would be inadequate, and would result in misfiring pistons and sluggish, undependable performance. Similarly, the human body must have high-octane fuel to create the energy to carry on the basic processes of life such as respiration and the breakdown and assimilation of foods." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Reductions in environmental lead exposure in the United States since the 1980s, through controls on gasoline emissions and pipes that supply drinking water, could reduce the potential impact of lead to cataract development. The extent to which lead might contribute to cataract, worldwide, is unknown. Lead exposures early in life can accumulate in bones. As bones thin with age, they not only release calcium but also other stored minerals like lead. Therefore, if lifetime lead accumulation is high, anything that increases osteoporosis could increase lead exposure." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"Because glucose is fuel for your body, in many ways it is like gasoline for your car. If you run out of glucose, your body will "quit" just like when your car runs out of gas. Likewise, whenever your blood glucose levels are elevated, it creates a toxic mess just as it would if you spilled gasoline when you were filling your car. In optimal health, the body maintains very tight control over blood glucose levels and it works very hard to keep those levels within a narrow range. When blood glucose levels surge too high, excessive glucose cannot be readily taken up by cells." - Michael T. Murray and Michael R. Lyon, Hunger Free Forever: The New Science of Appetite Control (Get the book.)

"His unrelenting efforts finally resulted in the banning of lead from gasoline, paint, and other consumer products and to stricter standards for airborne lead levels.33 Physicist George Zweig, who in 1964 was one of the first theorists to propose the reality of quarks—which have since been verified as the most fundamental of all subatomic particles?was denied a post at an American university because a prestigious faculty member claimed his work was that of a charlatan.34 The problems of "doing science" persist even today, and perhaps the difficulties are worse than ever." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"We wouldn't think of putting diesel fuel in a gasoline engine or dirty oil in the crankcase. Similarly, we try to take care of our household plants and gardens so they will yield good blossoms, fruit, and vegetables. We wouldn't use salted water, soft drinks, or alcoholic beverages on the potted plants in our houses, or feed them grease from cooking. If we want them to be healthy, we cultivate and nourish the soil. We know that they need clean water, air, sunshine, and agreeable temperatures. Yet, when it comes to our bodies, we typically ignore common sense." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "If we put dirty gasoline into the fuel tank of a car, we know it will not be able to function properly, perform smoothly, and provide trouble-free service for us. However, we regularly do something similar with our bodies. Why? We do not seem to realize that junk, processed, and chemically-enriched foods are very harmful to our bodies. We have not educated ourselves nor have we been educated about the true nutritional requirements our bodies have. We have been conditioned by our family upbringing, advertising, and busy lifestyles to eat foods that have been prepared in certain ways." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"By far the most extensive operations resulting in benzene exposure to the general population are gasoline stations, of which there are about 200,000 in the United States. With the gradual phasing out of gasoline lead additives, the use of benzene as an octane booster has doubled over the last four years to current levels from 1 percent to 2.5 percent in most gasoline brands. Most of the vapor liberated during a typical fill-up operation results from the displacement of benzene trapped within the gas tank, and not from the gasoline being pumped. Recent measurements in U.S." - Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., The Politics of Cancer Revisited (Get the book.)

"Despite profound cholesterol reduction with medication, the arterial plaque inflammation (the fire) and disease progression were inevitable because the patients were still ingesting the toxic American diet (the gasoline). The patients in that study who died or whose disease progressed were subsequently tested for highly sensitive C-reactive protein, or HSCRP." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.) "Stopping the gasoline puts out the fire. Reforming the way you eat will end the heart disease. Here are the rules of my program in their simplest form: • You may not eat anything with a mother or a face (no meat, poultry, or fish). • You cannot eat dairy products. • You must not consume oil of any kind—not a drop. (Yes, you devotees of the Mediterranean Diet, that includes olive oil, as I'll explain in Chapter 10.) • Generally, you cannot eat nuts or avocados. You can eat a wonderful variety of delicious, nutrient-dense foods: • All vegetables except avocado." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"Understand that since lead was removed from gasoline, and house paint, blood levels of the average person have dropped tenfold in the last few decades. However, lead is still dramatically higher in people today than it was in those who lived before the industrial age. We continue to be exposed to it in our soil and water, as well as from our own bones, where it is stored. And it is lethal." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)
