"When 1 stopped and looked at a rose, apinkrose, it wasn't just a pink rose, there were shades of pink within it. Everything seemed like the best vision I'd ever had. I thought this was really strange. I kept walking, noticing patterns, windows, more flowers. It seemed that my perception had increased. Instead of just going up to my normal 2 mile mark and turning around, I kept walking and walking. I did six, seven or eight miles, came home, put on some music and the music even sounded better. The next day I didn't take any pregnenolone." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"In the 1940s children began appearing in pediatricians' offices with flushed faces, pink hands that constantly shed skin, and signs of various neurological illnesses. Because of the light pink coloration of their faces and hands the condition was named "pink disease." In 1950 fifty-seven children died of the mysterious disorder. Doctors and scientists were baffled as to its cause and suggested everything from an infectious disease to food allergies." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"Keep an Eye on Your Tongue I decided during my Stanley Burroughs training that I would cleanse until my tongue got pink. I had learned that the tongue is a barometer to the body's toxicity, just as a weather vane tells you which way the wind is blowing. When you start cleansing, the tongue will turn white and become coated. After several days it will start to turn pink at the edges and the plaque on it will recede from the front to the back of the tongue. (You cannot simply brush your tongue pink after 6 days and then say you are done!" - Tom Woloshyn, The Complete Master Cleanse: A Step-by-Step Guide to Maximizing the Benefits of The Lemonade Diet (Get the book.)

"Because of the light pink coloration of their faces and hands the condition was named "pink disease." In 1950 fifty-seven children died of the mysterious disorder. Doctors and scientists were baffled as to its cause and suggested everything from an infectious disease to food allergies. Some noted that many of its features resembled mercury poisoning, but they were ignored until it finally came to light that a teething powder used by the children contained high concentrations of mercury: when the teething powder was withdrawn from the market "pink disease" disappeared." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"In a study of fish breeding, fish hatched under pink light were almost all females. Rats born under full spectrum ultraviolet light had a high survival rate, whereas, those under pink fluorescent light had only 61% survivors. Mice left under a pink fluorescent light for 6 months developed rotting of their tails, which fell off. There is danger from the ends of fluorescent tubes and television sets caused by x-radiation. Plants placed near the ends of fluorescent tubes will not grow." - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"The red and pink pigments in watermelon, guava, and red and pink grapefruit signal the presence of lycopene, too. You should try to regularly include lycopene-rich foods in your diet because this natural antioxidant can neutralize unstable molecules that might otherwise damage cells. Several studies link a greater consumption of foods high in lycopene with a lower risk for prostate cancer and possibly other cancers. More research is needed before firm conclusions can be made." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"You may get out of bed, head to the bathroom, and then notice the pink tile. "Wait a second, when did we get the pink tile?" you muse for a moment. In a flash it dawns on you that you are still dreaming. Sometimes, you wake from the lucid dream but into a new dream scene, like driving down the highway or having breakfast or being at school. You might even begin to look around for something to write your lucid dream on. Eventually you realize, "This is a dream!" Usually, the realization of a false awakening causes you to awaken into physical reality. Usually, but not always." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"Now the reds and oranges set the sky on fire, intent on one last burst before fading into sherbet layers of pink and purple. I love this in-between time—the twilight—when the night reaches up to kiss the light of day goodbye. To the Irish it's the Gloaming Time, when all the wee folk come out and pull the veil back for just a bit so that we humans can have a glimpse into the enchanting world of the Fairies and the beyond places." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"She was wearing a festively frilly dress like the one she wore the first time I met her, but this time it was green instead of pink. Long, green earrings dangled from her ears, and she had pulled her gray-tinged hair back with a rhinestone-studded comb. She led us to the two wooden benches that line her porch. Elizabeth quickly established a rapport with Panchita and asked her about her life as a child and young woman. Panchita told her that she was a descendant of a Cuban revolutionary hero and that she'd had a beautiful childhood. "In those days, there were no roads in Nicoya." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"The consequences of ignoring the risks include not just the tell-tale pink flush, tender skin, and eventual peeling of sun burn, but longer-term effects: accelerated aging, premature wrinkles, and skin cancer. To protect ourselves, we've been encouraged to apply sunscreen daily, or even more frequently if going out in the sun for extended periods of time. What we haven't been told is that sunscreens can be dangerous, to our health and to the environment. How could this be?" - 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.)

"In 2000, just before Prozac was to lose its patent protection in 2001, Eli Lilly changed the name from Prozac to Sarafem, changed the pill's color from green and white to pink and lavender, and got FDA approval to market it for severe premenstrual symptoms, or premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Prior to the launch of Sarafem, Lilly spent $2.3 billion on marketing, much more than the $1.5 billion it had spent on the drug's research and development." - C. W.

"WARNING SIGN If your eye is more pink than red, feels irritated, and has a watery dis-SPJp charge, you probably have conjunctivitis, a highly contagious eye infection. Without taking special precautions, chances are it will spread to your other eye—as well as to others in your household. Chronic bloodshot eyes can be a red flag that you have ocular rosacea. Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes the face to become red, oily, and pimply. (See Chapter 9." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Healthy gums are pink or coral.They should also be firm and resilient when poked. And, of course, there should be no bleeding or pain. WARNING SIGN Gum disease (periodontitis) puts a person at increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Swollen gums can be a telltale sign that you're a smoker or that you've been clenching or grinding your teeth. They can also be a reaction to certain drugs, such as oral contraceptives, antidepressants, and some heart medicines." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Many consumers regarded "oleomargarine" as just such an adulteration, and in the late 1800s five states passed laws requiring that all butter imitations be dyed pink so no one would be fooled. The Supreme Court struck down the laws in 1898. In retrospect, had the practice survived, it might have saved some lives. The 1938 Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act imposed strict rules requiring that the word "imitation" appear on any food product that was, well, an imitation. Read today, the official rationale behind the imitation rule seems at once commonsen-sical and quaint: "..." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Unfortunately, pink or reddish pee does sometimes signal blood in the urine—medically known as hematuria. It can, for example, be a sign of an injury to the kidney. But the blood can originate anywhere along the urinary tract. It can be an important early warning sign of several serious kidney, liver, or bladder conditions, including infections, stones, cysts, tumors, and even cancer. Purplish Pee Dark red or purplish urine is the hallmark of a rare group of usually inherited blood disorders called porphyrias." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.) "While a milky leak is clearly milky-looking, a non-milky leak can be clear, yellow, straw-like, green, brown, pink, or bright red. Complicating matters, different types of discharge may occur in some breast disorders. In general, nipple discharge is considered to be pathologic (caused by a disease) if it occurs on its own, only comes from one milk duct, happens repeatedly, or is bloody. Of the women who have an abnormal nipple discharge, less than 10% actually have breast cancer.The older a woman is, however, the more likely it is that nipple discharge will be her only sign of breast cancer." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Add shrimp and cook just until shrimp turns pink (less than 5 minutes). Do not fully cook. Drain shrimp and run under very cold water. Peel and devein shrimp. Set aside for next step. In a large bowl, blend together all ingredients for marinade. Place peeled shrimp into a large Ziploc bag. Add marinade to bag. Close tightly.

Place thinly sliced prosciutto or French smoked ham on toast." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"News reports of the disorder began just as marketers at Eli Lilly repackaged Prozac in a lavender and pink capsule, renamed it the sweeter-sounding Sarafem, and began selling it to treat this new disease. Lilly's television ads promoting the "new" drug showed a frustrated woman trying to untangle a shopping cart from a messy lineup of carts in front of a store. "Think it's PMS?" the announcer asked. "It could be PMDD." Lilly's marketing methods did not work as well in Europe." - 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.)

"Biologist David Attenborough describes just such a relationship: "A pink gentian grows in southern Africa, which is pollinated by handsome furry carpenter bees. The flowers of the gentian spread their petals wide, revealing to all a curving white style and three large stamens. Each stamen ends in a long thick anther that seems to be covered in yellow pollen, an obvious temptation to any passing pollen-feeding insect. But that is something of an illusion. The yellow anther is hollow and the pollen is held inside." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) "ROSE—ROSA SPR The rose garden is in full bloom with white, red, pink, and yellow ones all contributing to the delightful aroma permeating the air. I stroll along lightly touching the petals, letting my fingers caress the velvety folds while my heart's rough edges soften in the embrace of Venus's flower. It is here in this tender and unguarded place the poet in me stirs. Like so many before me, as I surrender to the undeniable spell that Rose engenders, inspiration rises up, kissing my heart and unleashing a pure love—the unconditional kind—so rare among humans and yet with a rose, so easy." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"Eggplant hangs from vines on a plant very much like tomatoes and comes in several widely available varieties such as classic (oval shape with purple color), Italian (small and mauve with white streaks), Japanese (white with purple streaks), pink, and green. Eggplant can be egg-shaped, oval-shaped, or balloon-shaped with a pear-shaped end, and has a somewhat bitter taste and spongy texture. A Serving of Food Lore... Eggplant is thought to have originated in southeast India around Assam and the adjoining area then known as Burma." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"The sleep kit was a black plastic case etched with the pink and aqua Ambien logo. Inside were a deck of playing cards embossed with the Ambien brand name, a compact disc with soothing music, and a card to send away for a free Ambien sleep mask, as long as one also provided the drug company with her name, address, and a description of her personal sleep problems. The All About Ambien brochure inside the kit boasted that the company's pill was "the #1 prescribed sleep aid in the U.S." In the end, Ms. Hillmer never actually spoke the word "Ambien," but I can't say that mattered." - 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.)

"Her skin in general and in her extremities especially became pink, her glycosylated hemoglobin went from 9 to 6, and she stopped taking insulin. Another Type-1 diabetic was from the Flathead tribe in Montana. He was in his mid-thirties, had acquired Type-1 in his mid-twenties, and was receiving three to four injections of insulin a day. Toes in both feet had been amputated, he was suffering neurological degeneration in the legs, paresthesia in arms and hands, he had received one kidney transplant and the other one was beginning to fail. He took proteolytic enzymes for six months." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"His hands turned pink and began to scale, he began to drool, and his mood became irascible and difficult to manage. An unusual infection was considered as one possible explanation, but this was excluded by laboratory testing. No hereditary condition fit his bizarre constellation of abnormalities. But the child's syndrome does have a name. The illness is called pink's disease. It was, at one time, a well-known entity. This syndrome, including both the odd skin changes and ominous nervous system findings, is exactly how mercury poisoning is manifest in a child afflicted with chronic poisoning." - Paul D.
