"Watch out for skin cancer Impostor When you take off your favorite gold jewelry, you discover that the skin beneath has turned black. Is it skin cancer? If the jewelry fits close to your skin and keeps it covered, the problem might just be black dermographism. This harmless condition happens when some ingredient in your jewelry rubs off on your skin. Some say the chemicals in cosmetics, skin lotions, or even powder bring this on. Others suspect plain old sweat or natural chemicals put out by your skin might be the cause." - The Editors of FC&A, Unleash the Inner Healing Power of Foods (Get the book.)

"Displayed throughout his store were the sculptures, dream catchers, music, and jewelry that had been part of his tradition for centuries before there was ever an "America." As I walked in, he was working on a sculpture nearly seven feet tall that was standing in the aisle beside him. After saying our hellos, I asked about his family and how business had been, and we enjoyed a few minutes of catch-up talk. He returned my questions, asking me what was happening in my life. I shared the events of the past week, the three people, and the missing money." - Gregg Braden, The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief (Get the book.)

"The first name on the card was Phyllis but Earl took it into a jewelry store and bought a six-thousand-dollar Rolex watch with it. First, he signed the credit slip with his real name. When the clerk raised a question about it, Earl took back the slip and signed it with the name on the card, Phyllis Gorman. When questioned again, he explained that Phyllis was a family name and that people called him Phil. It seems incredible that the clerk would fall for such a story, but people in the early stages of a maniclike reaction can be very engaging." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"It can clean and polish aluminum, chrome, jewelry, plastic, porcelain, silver, stainless steel, copper, and tin. 7. White distilled vinegar works much better than any toxic disinfectant you can buy. It contains about 5 percent acetic acid, which makes it great at removing stains. Vinegar can also dissolve mineral deposits, grease, remove traces of soap, remove mildew or wax buildup, polish some metals, and deodorize almost every room of your house. You can use it to clean coffeepots, windows, brick, stone, carpets, toilet bowls—just about every surface in your house except marble, in fact." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Every inch of this stall was filled with jewelry, antiques, and artifacts. Our senses were overwhelmed by the sheer amount of things in that cramped space. We saw gleaming gold and silver necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and watches. Mixed in was an equally intriguing assortment of antiques, old military medals, and pocket watches. There was a dizzying array of colorful beads, bags, textiles, and countless other curiosities. But the most fascinating find in that tiny stall was the men who ran it: two brothers, Abdullah and Mohamed." - 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.)

"On the other hand, positive uplifting words such as "Love" and "Thank you" result in crystals as beautiful as the finest pieces of jewelry. Opposite words such as "Angel" and "Devil," "Soul" and "Demon," "Let's do it" and "Do it" showed the same results of organization versus disorganization. Similarly, sounds from different music selections of folk and classical versus heavy metal did the same. The researchers then experimented with prayer. Water that was spoken to consciously in prayer, blessing, or appreciation invariably resulted in organized, healthy and alive-looking ice crystals." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Iowans paid more for the medicines they picked up at the drugstore in 2004 than for all the items they purchased at clothing stores, shoe stores, furniture stores, sporting goods stores, bookstores, jewelry stores, hobby stores, and toy stores combined. The nearly $2 billion that Iowans spent on prescriptions filled at pharmacies was approaching the $2.7 billion they spent at all the state's fast-food joints, restaurants, and bars." - 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.)

"Appraise your jewelry. If you develop a rash after wearing a piece of jewelry, you are probably allergic to the nickel in it Try stainless steel or other nickel-free jewelry instead. Even if you're not allergic to your jewelry, take it all off when you wash. Rings and other pieces can trap rash-causing wetness near your skin. Forget the fragrance. Whether it's shampoo, hairspray, or body lotion, most items in your bathroom contain fragrances. Even products labeled "unscented" include something to mask the unpleasant smells of their chemicals." - Frank W.

"Before his day, such innovations would have been superfluous; for the people of the preceding period—who were four miles tall, with one hundred and twenty-eight ribs, enjoying a life span of two periods of countless years—were supplied in all their needs by ten "wish-fulfilling trees" (kalpa vrikshd), which gave sweet fruits, leaves that were shaped like pots and pans, leaves that sweetly sang, leaves that gave forth light at night, flowers delightful to see and to smell, food perfect both to sight and to taste, leaves that might serve as jewelry, and bark providing beautiful clothes." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"This harmless condition happens when some ingredient in your jewelry rubs off on your skin. Some say the chemicals in cosmetics, skin lotions, or even powder bring this on. Others suspect plain old sweat or natural chemicals put out by your skin might be the cause. Even the zinc oxide or titanium dioxide from sunscreen could be the guilty party. Check with your doctor about the change in your skin -just to be sure it's not skin cancer. Meanwhile, don't use cosmetics or creams near this jewelry. If your problem really is black dermographism, that might be enough to make it go away." - The Editors of FC&A, Unleash the Inner Healing Power of Foods (Get the book.)

"Many women and men who break out after wearing jewelry or watches have an undiagnosed skin sensitivity to the metal nickel. Also present on belt buckles and blue-jeans rivets, nickel can cause discomfort wherever the metal contacts the skin. Allergy experts say some 6% of the US population has such a sensitivity: Tingling, redness, rash and itchiness typically follow. The quick fix is to coat the offending piece with clear nail polish, which offers most people suitable short-term protection." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"She said that the happiest moments of her childhood occurred in that room, because great grandmother kept all these drawers full of old costumes and jewelry there. And whenever she came over with her cousins, they could all dress up and play make-believe. She said that great grandmother let them do whatever they wanted. There were no rules there." My niece stopped for a moment. "I guess those really were the happiest times in her life. I barely knew my great grandmother; I was, like, eight years old when she passed away in the nursing home. I never visited her house." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"I had custom-made jewelry valued in the millions of dollars. I lived an opulent and luxurious lifestyle that most people could never imagine. Even when I was in prison the secret society guaranteed that I receive benefits and perks that would outrage the public. While in prison I actually spent much of my time in the officers club at Edwards Air Force Base! That's right, while I was doing my time, I and other inmates would actually spend our days eating the best food and enjoying ourselves at a U.S. military base officer's club. Can you imagine convicts having complete access to a U.S." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"So much was considered sinful: movies, television, any sort of profanity, dancing, makeup, jewelry, drinking. I was made to go to church three times a week, with the terrifying threat of growing up a criminal and getting sent to the electric chair if I didn't obey my parents. I never felt like I fit in anywhere, and I was ridiculed and tormented by other children, including relatives. My memory of childhood is of almost always hurting. I filled the emptiness of my life with an obsession with science and chemistry." - Dr. Arthur Janov, Primal Healing: Access the Incredible Power of Feelings to Improve Your Health (Get the book.)

"How your body moves, what expression your face makes, how fast you speak—even where you stand or sit, how much perfume you have on, what type of jewelry you wear, or whether your hair is long or short—all of these elements send messages far more convincingly than any words spoken. An estimated one thousand different nonverbal factors contribute to the message you send in every interaction. Cumulatively, these nonverbal elements have much greater power than the paltry 7 percent impact of the words coming out of your mouth." - Tonya Reiman, The Power of Body Language: How to Succeed in Every Business and Social Encounter (Get the book.)

"Meanwhile, don't use cosmetics or creams near this jewelry. If your problem really is black dermographism, that might be enough to make it go away.

"I left Pangoa loaded up with a five-gallon jar of honey, an ocher shroud, and some tree pod jewelry. Since my flight was not until midnight, I treated Don Flor and Evaristo to a boat ride around the historic harbor of Callao in Lima. Neither man had ever been to sea. My tales of sharks in the harbor attacking small boats didn't help. I think they were happy to see me off at the airport. Several months later I received a letter and a package from Pangoa." - Dean Cycon, Javatrekker: Dispatches From the World of Fair Trade Coffee (Get the book.)

"If this reminds you of stories of "crystal" healing and psychics reading personal information from jewelry, you may wish to reconsider such claims in light of the systemic memory process. Crystals are wonderful resonators. They are remarkable receivers of information. The heart of radio receivers is the crystal. According to anthropologist Jeremy Narby, a Ph.D. from Stanford University and author of the 1998 book, The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge, DNA can be thought of as a crystal too." - Gary E. Schwartz and Linda G. S. Russek, The Living Energy Universe (Get the book.)

"During adolescence, following her baptism, she began wearing a head covering which, along with the modest homemade clothing and the absence of jewelry, lipstick or fashionable hairdos, helped make her easily recognizable as a member of the Mennonite church. At 21 the shy and quiet Debbie was approached by one of the very quiet Mennonite men in her congregation about marriage. It was discussed by the families and, with their approval, they were soon married. When the wedding ceremony was over, the couple headed to St. Louis." - Dr. Timothy Scott, America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived (Get the book.)

"On July 4, 1997, the Tucson Citizen published a feature article titled "Hypothesis: Objects Have Memory," with the subheading, "2 at UA say cells and even jewelry may be able to remember. Skeptics scoff." On the positive side, the article cited Roger Edwards from Harvard University, who was then a senior member of the editorial board of the peer-reviewed journal Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine that published one of our articles on the systemic memory hypothesis." - Gary E. Schwartz and Linda G. S. Russek, The Living Energy Universe (Get the book.)

Q Avoid areas where bees are concentrated, such as orchards and flower gardens. Q If you are bothered by a yellow jacket, do not squash it; doing so releases a chemical that attracts other yellowjack-ets and wasps. It is best to leave these insects alone, or to find and destroy the nest after dark, when they are less active. Q Immediately after getting stung, carefully remove any stinger left in the skin. It is best not to pull the stinger out." - 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.)

"It may look funny, but this kind of jewelry was quite popular in the late 1970s. It was supposed to reflect your emotions— from happy, romantic, and relaxed to nervous and stressed out. In reality, the liquid crystals in the ring are sensitive to the surface temperature of your skin, which is a way of monitoring internal stress. Blood vessels constrict and temperature drops during stressful situations. Under normal conditions the average person should have a skin temperature of about 82°F and the ring should be calibrated to the color green." - Joe Graedon, M.S. and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., Best Choices From the People's Pharmacy (Get the book.)
