"One is obviously an issue of short-term health and safety and the other is an issue of longer-term health and safety. In the case of extreme food intolerances, what children eat could truly harm them. If a child has diabetes, he or she can't eat certain foods at a birthday party. You're not depriving that child, and it's not excessive for a parent to say, "Johnny has diabetes, so he's going to skip the cake." But what if Johnny has ADD/ADHD or something that looks like it? Then it's likely that everyone's reaction is less empathetic." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

May I never be separated from this purple, and may I not live that day on which those who meet me shall not address me as mistress. If it is your wish to save yourself, O Emperor, there is no difficulty, for we have much money, and there is the sea, here the boats. However consider whether it will not come about after you have been saved that you would gladly exchange that safety for death." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"Without these, physical life itself is not possible. • safety Needs: Once the physiological needs are met, there are the needs for a safe lifestyle and safe environments. These might include safe housing, financial security, job security, as well as physical, mental, and emotional safety and freedom from threats. • Social Needs: Beyond the safety needs arise the needs for belonging, such as having family, friends, and community. It involves the giving and receiving of love and nurturing." - Richard, Dr. DiCenso, Beyond Medicine, exploring a new way of thinking (Get the book.)

"Most parents and caregivers are unaware that the FDA does not require safety testing on cosmetics before they are sold to the public, which means that manufacturers can legally sell many products containing a cocktail of unproven, potentially unsafe chemicals. Thousands of these products are marketed to children. For a listing of the products tested, and the amounts of 1,4-dioxane found in each, visit: www.ewg .org/issues_content/cosmetics/pdf/14-dioxane.pdf." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This!

"It is interesting that in our limbic system, the area of the brain that affects our memory, sense of safety, survival instincts, eating, appetite drives, and learning contains a high density of insulin receptors.98" As a homeopath, I have explored the use of homeopathic insulin, and there seem to be positive effects using it, including psychological improvement, perceptual calmness, lower blood glucose, improved elimination and metabolism, reduced metabolic wasting, and reduced development of diabetic complications. This suggests a function of insulin as a signaling molecule." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"The National Academy of Sciences chose this level merely for simplicity and safety in children—and even the information for kids is no longer reliable. The information on calculating vitamin D intake based on body weight is new, and this is undoubtedly a more accurate and safer method of supplementation than flat universal dosing (regardless of the level of flat dosing).

"However, when administered and monitored appropriately, chelation therapy with DMSA generally has a good safety profile, and its side effects are usually mild and transient. In addition to the side effects just listed, I have also noted behavioral changes in some children, such as hyperactivity, irritability, and increased stimming. Exacerbation of gut dysbiosis, as well as mineral deficiencies, may contribute to these symptoms. Other Chelating Agents Besides DMSA, another chelator that is increasingly being used is calcium EDTA." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "This is yet another mechanism to ensure maximum safety. Prescribing extra minerals before chelation is also wise simply because chelation can sometimes have a moderate effect of decreasing minerals. This moderate decline in minerals is among the most common side effects of chelation, along with a few other generally mild negative reactions, including hyperactivity, irritability, and increased self-stimulating behaviors. Doctors must monitor for these side effects on an ongoing basis." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Thankfully, the species found in food products and supplements use researched species with well-documented safety records. the trials, as these are known to work.

Orally, Lactobacillus species are well-tolerated by almost everyone." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "Well over 500 studies have been conducted on probiotics and no safety concerns have been raised yet. Infants, teenagers, adults and the elderly have been included in these trials. Probiotics are safe for most people. Probiotics are administered at what can be considered a very high dosage. The most well-known probiotics are of the genera Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium, and most members of these genera are known to be safe, due to their long history of use and presence in the human intestinal tract. L. acidophilus and L." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "As researchers discover more ways in which probiotics can benefit health and they become used by a wider population of people, the safety of probiotics becomes of great importance. Labeled with the stigmatism of being dirty or bad, bacteria have an uphill battle ahead of them. Wish researchers luck in convincing the general public that eating bacteria is a good idea. Luckily, there is mounting research to support the effectiveness of good bacteria and other microbes in promoting human health. There is extensive research available on the effects of probiotics in various human populations." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"And just how thoroughly have fertility clinics tested the long-term safety of the substance used to preserve eggs? Could any of the chemicals used in popular fertility treatments be causing DNA damage? These chemicals have to be doing something to the cells, but what exactly? What are the long-term physical and developmental effects of fertility treatments? I'm not saying fertility treatments are bad or good; I'm just saying that we need to start asking these and other questions. We also need to start demanding answers." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

Myopes who suffer from very high myopia—for example, over 4 or 5 diopters—must wear correcting lenses, but they should wear undercorrection whenever possible." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"Now, if you went out to buy a can of soup in the supermarket, it would be strange to have the clerk behind the counter say to you, 'I'd like you to prove the safety of this can.' You would say, 'What are you talking about? I'm purchasing the can. The fact that you are selling it implies that you are saying that it's safe.' But the clerk says, 'Not when it comes to soup. When it comes to soup, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to prove that it is safe or not safe. We as the sellers don't have to do anything.' That's the situation we're in with mercury fillings." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "It is not acceptable to assume that this vaccine virus is an innocent bystander if your concern is for the safety of the children." The Department of Health said that it had no plans to review the use of MMR. "This study, if true, does not prove that MMR causes the condition of autism just because the virus is present in the gut. Critical will be independent testing of the teams' samples, which has long been awaited," said a spokesman. Lorraine Fraser, "Anti-MMR doctor is forced out," Telegraph, December 2, 2001. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/mam." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"While these and other studies require replication before wholesale endorsement, some would argue that taking folate is harmless, and although the efficacy is not established, at least safety concerns are low. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). A natural steroid hormone that is a precursor for androstenedione, testosterone, and estrogen, DHEA is sold as an oral supplement to improve memory, mood, and other endocrine functions. Because of its association with the sex hormones, particularly estrogen, it was thought perhaps to have an effect on cognition." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "These findings were not consistently replicated, and since we lack data on the long-term safety of ginseng ingestion, it is difficult to recommend the herb clinically. Fish oil and alpha lipoic acid. These compounds have been claimed to lower inflammation, cholesterol levels, and oxidative stress in animal models. Epidemiological data suggests that the consumption of foods high in omega-3 fatty acids may provide protection against Alzheimer's and other age-related conditions." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "Despite booming sales figures and mounting popularity in the West, CAM approaches are controversial because of concern about their efficacy, safety, and cost. Many Western doctors ignore and even ridicule alternative approaches because of the lack of systematic studies, particularly well-controlled randomized controlled trials that are the hallmark of drug development. Traditional therapeutic interventions are complex and highly subjective, and this makes it difficult to assess the nature of their effects." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "Furthermore, side effects are often underreported and studies are often not of long enough duration to establish long-term safety. Moreover, people who participate in RCTs are often carefully selected to be healthier or to have more clear-cut diagnostic categories. The result of this group biasing is that medications that are efficacious in these rarefied subgroups may not be effective in larger community-based samples where people may have comorbidities (effects of additional disorders or diseases) or be less compliant in taking their medications." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"The same rules apply to personal and collective safety and must be respected. You take complete responsibility for your own actions.

"Now for our overland route back to the hotel, a checkpoint system had been set up for our safety and to establish our whereabouts at all times. I knew that it would be only a matter of minutes before we would slow to a stop, a guard would step onto the bus to check our papers, he'd say Shukran ("Thank you"), and we'd be on our way. After clearing the first series of checkpoints, we soon found ourselves winding our way along the brilliant white beaches of the Red Sea toward the Suez Canal." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)
