WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU VACCINATE  
(Extracts from Studies on the Effects of Vaccines and Serums on the Lymphatic System)  
"The lymph flow is as essential as the blood flow, and the poisoning of the lymphatic system simply  
means the poisoning of the body tissues and organs." "It is up to the mothers of the land to take a  
determined stand and they should quickly end the compulsory vaccination of children. Without  
compulsion, the hideous practice would soon disappear." INTRODUCTION  
Dr. Bass finds this old a rticle worth re -publishing. It explains the lymphatic system and its function, and the effect of vaccination  
on this system, as well as the dangers of vaccination. Natural Hygiene doctors have always recommended avoiding  
vaccinations, and some of the reaso ns for this you'll find below. VACCINES ARE POISONOUS  
 The most scientific argument yet produced, in attacking the theory and practice of vaccination and serum treatment, is the  
presentation of data proving the harmful effects of vaccines and serums upon the lymphatic system when these poisons or  
foreign substances are introduced into the system by points or needles. Illustrations here given show the sores resulting from vaccination including tracings of lymphatic vessels and nodes that  
become poisoned and  blocked, producing various disturbances and organic disorders ranging from suppuration of the nodes to  
gangrene, tuberculosis and cancer. THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM  
We have in the human body a wonderful system of circulation, in that it is threefold. There is the arterial and venous circulation  
of the blood, and there is the third circulation, called the lymphatic circulation. It is the last, which here concerns us. The lymphatic circulation has a series of channels, tubes or ducts, with a terminal drainage poi nt in the veins on either side of  
the neck. Associated with the lymphatic circulation are hundreds of glands, technically called "nodes." Now these nodes or glands are  
"traps," and in case of emergency they retain, until sometimes overburdened, poisons tha t if allowed to escape through the  
system at once would produce almost instant death. When these glands become blocked and overflow, as they do in extreme cases of vaccine poisoning, the blood circulation  
takes up the blockage products, and death from bloo d poisoning is the result. SWELLING OF LYMPH GLANDS  
In an ordinary vaccination, the axillary glands in the armpit will be swollen and tender. copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.drbass.com  42 
 
 
The swelling may disappear after two or three weeks, though it may persist for months and become chronic in type and even  
develop into malignancy in the breast or armpit. A case reported by Dr. Peebles (M. D.) was the direct result of the virus traveling up from the armpi t and forming a chronic  
suppurating wound in the glands under the jaw. Gangrene of the hand as referred to by Dr Holt an authority of national repute, is another confirmation of the blockage of th e 
circulation by chronic or indurated or even suppurating ly mphatic glands  
 
LYMPHATIC POISONING AND BLOCKAGE  
 The lymph flow is as essential as the blood flow and the poisoning of the lymphatic system simply means the poisoning of the  
body tissues and organs. Once the lymphatic system is blocked, there is a systemi c disturbance that involves the various organs of the body, and many  
patients state that their breakdown and ill health date from the time of vaccination, or the poisoning of the body through  
blockage of the lymphatics. FIG 1. Lymphatic involvement in vaccination. The possibility of nodular enlargement in the axillary and cervical regions, including the 
tonsillary area, is plainly shown. The lymphatics of the entire arm may become involved and spread to the pectoral region. FIG. 2. Showing the possibility of incipient phthisis through lymphatic blockage, as the result of vaccine or serum poisoning in  the axillary  
region. The bronchial glands are closely related to those of the cervical region. FIG 3. We find that vaccination on  the thigh or just above the knee causes enlargement and sometimes suppuration of the inguinal nodes. Sterility may result where the poisoning involves the pelvic region. POSSIBLE EFFECTS  
Hundreds of persons have died from this lymphatic poisoning followi ng vaccination. It is a question whether or not a severe vaccine poisoning is not more difficult to clear than a venereal poisoning. The sore s 
following suppuration after vaccination are almost impossible to heal in some instances. As soon as a wholesale v accination is ordered, we see cases of sore throat, diphtheria, measles and mumps; nurses are  
rushed to the scene to look after patients whose temperature has been forced way above normal through this systemic  
pollution. From a physical standpoint, this na tion will crumble and fail if there is not a lessening in the amount of vaccines and serums  
used. This wholesale pollution through vaccination has brought about nervous instability, lack of tone, vascular irregularities, an d what  
else could happen, pray te ll me - but growths, cancers, or heart failures? GRAFTING BEAST INTO HUMANS  
Particularly note that vaccination for smallpox results in a lymphatic blockage, due to engrafting upon the human of the cell s 
and pus from the bovine. The bovine cell multiplies far more rapidly than the human cell. Such a graft therefore must enormously overtax the human  
circulation, in having to harbor and harmonize, in a degree, this foreign cell life. The very thought of grafting beast into human is  
so revolting, instinct as w ell as reason cries out against it. copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.drbass.com                                               43 
 
 
SIX SWOLLEN GLANDS WILL MAKE YOU ILL  
Remember this:  
Six swollen lymphatic glands in  certain areas will make one ill.  
A dozen will put you on your back. And fifty vital glands blocked may cause death. END COMPULSORY VACCINATION  
Finally:  To have a vaccination scar is a reflection on the intelligence. A scar following a solicited vaccinat ion signifies loyalty to  
medical superstition. A scar from forced vaccination is a brand, a mark of medical tyranny and despotism. I would not be vaccinated and take the risk of complications for a $10,000 draft on the Bank of England. My children have  
never been vaccinated and I trust never will. It is up to the mothers of the land to take a determined stand and they should quickly end the compulsory vaccination of  
children. Without compulsion, the hideous practice would soon disappear. ------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------

With Three Generations of Vegetarian Hygienists  
 
"In these three genera tions, we have here a laboratory of the highest biotic quality that has been  
continuing for 42 years, producing evidence of the great value of Natural Hygiene" "Cursio: I noticed in the  
beginning of the third generation ... the nearsightedness, the hydroceles, and the abnormalities." "What  
caused all this? - The excessive fruit eating and B12 deficiency"  
 
The following excerpts from a booklet with 1962 and 1976 interviews with Dr. Gian -Cursio by Dr. Bass, "With Three  
Generations of Vegetarian Hygieni sts", illustrate the difficulties early Hygienists had of putting together a vegetarian/vegan diet  
that was optimal and sufficient in all nutrients, as well as being as raw as possible. This text is still extremely important, since similar mistakes are sti ll being made today, typically by aspiring vegans and vegan  
raw-foodists. Deficiencies that sometimes hardly are noticed in the first generation, will show in children and grand -children. Free download of the complete text is now possible from the books -page www.drbass.com/books.html. Dr. Bass' later research concentrated on finding the ultimate vegetarian diet. The result can be found in "In Search of the  
Ultimate (Vegetarian) Diet", Volumes I and II ["Discovery of the Ultimate (Vegetarian) Diet"], downlo ad possible at  
www.drbass.com/books.html, and in articles at this website. -- Note: Newer research (e.g. see these articles …..) has made Dr. Bass now concentrate on a more comprehensive ultimate  
diet, which includes non -vegetarian and vegetarian foods - more will come later on this website... --

Excerpt from  
“With Three Generations of Vegetarian Hygienists”  
by Stanley S. Bass  
..... Note: The following is taken from a recording which I made on October 10, 1976, of the dialogue between myself and Dr. Cursio  for the  
purpose of supplying the informat ion that Dr. Shelton requested of me regarding the "With Three Generations of Hygienists" article, as well  
as to present the changes which evolved in Dr. Cursio's dietetic views over the years from September 2, 1962, to the present time, October  
10, 1976. Dr. Cursio called the Penepent family in Batavia, N.Y., and connected with Anthony Penepent.] Dr. Cursio: Anthony, twelve years ago Dr. Bass wrote an article about the Penepent family of three generations of Hygienists. He sent it to  
Dr. Shelton and Shelton liked it, but it was 12 years too late. He wants to update it. He wants to know how many members there are – and 
the general psychological qualities of the family. Are they calm? The schooling, how many in college, how many graduated, the  business,  
and all that to give an idea of how they increased in productivity and social orientation? Here's Dr. Bass. [Note: Anthony Penepent was 30 years old and of the third generation when I talked to him in 1976. I asked him about the fami ly and he replied:]  
Anthony: Dr. Cursio first took care of my mother and father in 1935. They were Hygienists before I was born. [This is an import ant point.] My  
brothers were all youngsters when they became Natural Hygienists under Dr. Cursio's care. My brother Phil, he was the oldest, and about  
ten years old then and 25 years older than me. He had a heart condition. There were eight girls in the family. As a rule you could say that  
they kept away from drugs and all that and they've lived pretty good. And they're usually pret ty calm. They're not argumentative which they  
ascribe to our lifestyle. One of the members of the second generation, in his middle 20's, has a bachelor's degree and a doct orate, and he's  
halfway through his medical basic sciences and he intends to be a med ical doctor, but to practice Natural Hygiene. He was born after his

mother had been in Hygiene about 10 years. [Note: all his brothers now have offsprings from which t hese thirty people came]. One had a  
serious cardiac condition in the early teens, who is now still a vital, healthy human being. Dr. Bass: Are the children being raised the same way? Anthony: Yes, they all are. Dr. Cursio sees them every time he comes her e. Now from the father who was very ill, one of the sons is  
finishing medical school. He's in Italy. One girl is graduating from college in education. Dr. Bass: You don't have the names? It may be confusing. [Note: At this point, Anthony suggested I get th e names from Dr. Cursio. We said  
goodbye here, and I continued the conversation with Dr. Cursio, who was present during the phone conversation.] Dr. Cursio: He's raised four children Hygienically: Phil Jr., the oldest; Mike, a college graduate; and David and Mary Ann. That's in this one  
family now where the father, Phil Sr., was seriously ill with heart trouble, rheumatic heart at age 12. Now, I noticed in the  beginning of the  
third generation, some of them that were born –this is where I noticed the nearsi ghtedness, the hydroceles, and the abnormalities. Then I  
made my shift into more green stuff, blended salads early, cut out the orange juice – like I'd give the child the milk and I'd use the vegetable  
juice. Then I saw the difference. The children were better – were more sturdy. Instead of pigeon -chested or chicken -chested, they were fine -chested. Dr. Bass: In other words, you kept the blended salads going? Dr. Cursio: Oh yeah! That was the change. I don't think there's a dental carie in the whole group . Dr. Bass: That's a permanent change then, increased salads and blended salads? Dr. Cursio: Yeah! They subsist 90%, I'd say 95%, on unfired food –and the other percentage they'd have some steamed vegetables like rice  
or potato or legumes. Basically, it's u nfired. That's it! You've got it all. They are representative. This family is representative of many families  
in the area and elsewhere, where they've been raised this way. But this is like a sample, a sampling. The following represents the changes which have evolved in Dr. Cursio's dietetic views over the years leading up to the present time [ie, 1976]. Dr. Cursio: I observed many cases of pregnant women who had difficulties, women who were physically inadequate to have childr en and  
hence after pregnancy they accepted Natural Hygiene in order to have children that were healthy and also to make it possible for them to  
survive. In other words, sick women came to me. They were pregnant. They were having all they could to survive on their own, without  
pregnanc y. 
 
Dr. Bass: Talking about you [and your patients]? Dr. Cursio: Yeah. I'm speaking now of the women who came to me. I'm speaking now how these changes took place – especially in the care  
of children –so that we have here problems that came up in the childr en when I followed the strict fruit program with nuts, and minimal  
amounts, compared to what I use now, of green stuff (salads). These children, the skeletal development wasn't right, the dent al arches were  
not well -formed, teeth came in crowded because of  it. I noticed a great deal of boys that were born who were herniated – who had what we  
call hydroceles. So, with the noticing of these conditions and other miscellaneous...  
Dr. Bass: Can you state specifically what diet they were on? Dr. Cursio: Their di et would be predominantly fruit, nut proteins, and a relatively small amount of salad compared to what they get now – 
they used to get one salad a day. They'd have a fruit meal in the morning, a fruit meal at noon, and a salad at night. In the  morning, the y'd 
have just fruit; at noon they'd have the fruit and nuts, and at night they'd have the salad, sometimes with nuts and sometime s with  
vegetables – but on this kind of a setup, I've been noticing the inadequacies in these children. Then I made the drastic  changes! First I  
noticed the hydroceles, nearsightedness, the skeletal development. And the musculature was not developed in these children. B ut, at any  
rate, I started to think. In line with this of course were other things that I noticed with other indi viduals – people who had been living this way  
and living, I know, 100%. One of them – I don't think he's [Dr. Shelton] going to publish this – with Miss Natural Hygiene. There were two  
Miss Natural Hygienes. One of them came to me with multiple sclerosis. And gum recessions, dental caries I noticed. But a great deal of  
gum recession and marginal erosion of the gum line of the teeth. Now, at first I ascribed this to the citrus fruit, so I cut it down. I cut down on  
the amount of fruit, without making any rel ative increase in the green stuff (salads). Then, I finally found that though there were slight  
improvements, they were not sufficient. So then I figured there's got to be an additional factor here. There's got to be, wha t, I had talked to  
Weston Price about it – he was one of the men I spoke to. And, I said this is an X -factor that's missing – I don't know what it was. Later on,  
you know this work done on B 12 , I came to the conclusion that this perhaps was one of the factors that could lead to this k ind of pathology. Dr. Bass: Deficiency in B 12? Dr. Cursio: Yes! It was only after adding green stuff that I started to see in the pregnancies that followed, and also in the  children that were  
grown, that came from these pregnancies, the difference. Round heads instead of pear -shaped heads, better -formed teeth. And all the  
aberrations I had noticed – the near -sightedness, the hernias, the hydroceles, and the musculature that was weak – that all disappeared. There was never another case after this. I was als o able to witness an increase, for example, in the blood chemistries, the improvements in  
the mothers and in the adults, who were put on this kind of a setup. Hemoglobin – where they had microcytic anemia or macrocytic anemia,  
the nutritional anemias – they cleared up. Now, this was with the addition of the salads, but even so, I was not satisfied. In trying to evaluate  
the absolute amount of every nutrient, I found it was inadequate. They couldn't eat that amount, and they didn't have the tim e to eat that  
amount. Dr. Bass: The salad? copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.drbass.com                                               45 
 
 
Dr. Cursio: Hence the blended salad. To insure the proper impact, the proper intake in suffi cient amounts with minimal expenditure of  
energy, especially in the ill, so that we had the assimilation, and we had the utilization with the minimal usage of vital po wer, and leaving  
sufficient energy, you know, for reparative and healing and restorative purposes. Dr. Bass: What about the oxidation factor which occurs during blending? Dr. Cursio: Well, sure, there's a minimal amount, but that was overcome and balanced up by the increased utilization. Now, be cause there  
was increased utilization, you had t o be very selective in the kind of foods you used. So you didn't want an imbalance of nutrients. You didn't  
want to have an imbalance of the chloride ratios, you know, like an overload of potassium over sodium. There have been some s tudies  
made which indic ate that potassium in excess could prove carcinogenic, you know, could create an ionization, I mean. There was some  
work done with the Japanese. And I was in correspondence with one of the men who had done this work, so that I was very cauti ous that I  
used only certain raw things that I felt had this proper ratio. Dr. Bass: Can you mention any names of these people? Dr. Cursio: This Japanese fellow, I'd have to get the letter. Marvin has this letter. He has a copy of it. I can't find the o riginal. But he wrote to  
me. As a matter of fact, I was going to have his article published in a magazine, but we just didn't go to press anymore. [Referring to Journal of Health, edited by Christopher Gian -Cursio. Winter 1964 was the last issue.] Dr. Bass: In sending th is material to Dr. Shelton, shall I quote you? Dr. Cursio: Quote me – also your observations too. These were studies that were made on hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people. What we call clinical studies and observations, in which there was a morpho logy, a clinical observation based on, you know, recovery, rates  
of recoveries. And also in post -fasting nutrition, when this kind of setup was used, that they rebuilt and were able to get back to a normal  
musculature. There were individuals who came to me , for example, who'd never been able to go beyond the skeletal stage. After they fasted  
they just seemed to stay thin – and no matter what you tried. And after you gave them blended salad for awhile, they started to fill up again. Dr. Bass: And they wouldn 't do it on the whole salad? Dr. Cursio: But the one thing that forced my attention to the defects, that was the recession of gums and the marginal erosio n of the gum  
line of the teeth, nails that wouldn't grow, nails that were deformed, toenails, fingern ails, all of this. Also warts tend to form on these cases. They tend to get moles or proliferation of moles. And there were all things of this nature that started to make me suspicious . Why, in a so - 
called ideal diet, was this happening? I didn't want to go back to meat. I didn't want to go back to fish, as some Hygienists did in the past,  
like Walter did. ....... Continued in the booklet  "With Three Generations of Vegetarian Hygienists"     , that you can download for free here --- books.html  . Interview with Dr. Bass:

Letter to M2M from vegetarian raw -fooder:  
....... 
2) I hereby request people who have had either very good results (healings and/or robust health) or very poor results (health  problems) on a  
raw vegan diet to briefly write -up their experience and mail it to me. I am doing research for a book in which I will publish an unbiased study on the experiences people have had with the diet. This  book will  
include any reports of great healings and robust health, but will also include reports of people apparently crippled or  whose death seems to  
have been related to the diet. If any of you know people who fall into either category, please request that they send me thei r story. I feel that an unbiased study and report needs to be done. Let me explain why. My own experience wit h raw foods is as follows. When 17, I met an elderly Essene man who was a raw fooder who ate dairy. He became  
my mentor and I followed his diet. We made raw yogurts and other fermented dairy products from mostly goat and sheep milk fro m animals  
well taken care of. (With fermented dairy the lactose is predigested and does not cause mucous and is very digestible.) I ate that diet for 
many years  and was very healthy. Then, due to my attraction to the philosophy of veganism, I became a vegan raw fooder. I ne ver felt as  
healthy on that version of the diet and after five years on that version I lost the use of my feet and was nearly crippled. I  had to crawl to the  
bathroom. I had my blood tested and was B -12 anemic. I began taking B -12 and eating dairy. The B -12 healed my nerve problems, but I  
believe it was the protein in the fermented dairy that healed my feet and muscle tissue. (On the vegan version my muscle tiss ue seemed to  
be eating itself;  after adding the yogurt my muscle tissue healed itself.) Since my n egative experience as a raw vegan I have been on the mostly raw with fermented dairy version another five years and feel  
fantastic. Thus, all together I have eaten the raw with dairy diet 15 years,  always feeling fantastic and being physically f it. The fi ve years as  
a raw vegan resulted in my body falling apart. While I was a vegan I preached that philosophy with great fervor. I truly believed it was the best diet. Whenever I heard a r aw vegan or  
cooked vegan describe health problems that they experienced  on the  vegan diet, I chalked it up to either 1) They are just detoxing; or, 2)  
They are not following the diet correctly. But after my own negative experience as a raw vegan I began to honestly open my ey es. The  
following is a synopsis of what I found. copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.drbass.com  46 
 
 
Because I was by this time a "noted raw food speaker" and intimate with other famous raw food speakers/experts, I was often a t their homes  
and getting to know them. I found that many of these noted speakers/experts/authors were experiencing anxiety attacks, panic attacks,  
clinical depression, and various muscle tissue and other problems. However, what was most troubling, is that they didn't want   the public to  
know. I w on't name names because that would be betraying confidential interactions, but many of them called me when they were needing  
some sort of advice for dealing with these ailments. Then, at the next big raw food conference, there that person would be, p reachi ng the  
amazing benefits of the 100% raw vegan diet, signing copies of  their books, and speaking negatively about cooked food eaters  and those  
who eat only partially raw or are not vegan. This was a major eye -opener  for me. I realized that once a person i s earning their livelihood and  
getting their "positive strokes" by being an author/expert on the raw/vegan diet, it is very hard for them to admit that the diet is not working in  
their own life. It would mean that their own books were no longer valid, and they would need to find another way to earn their livelihood. But there is another reason that raw food author/experts (as well as  the non -famous raw vegans) do not publicly admit their problems with  
the diet. Because people have been shamed into not admi tting their  hardships on this diet, each one believes they are the only one having  
the problem. This is especially true with anxiety attacks, panic attacks, and depression. I have been in a room with seven ra w food experts  
and had personal knowledge that five of them had been struggling with those problems, and yet each of them thought they were the only  
one. Because  I am a minister, many of these folks felt comfortable enough to seek counseling from me, but would not feel com fortable  
mentioning their pro blems to others. I once lived in a house with several raw food vegans. Every one of them ended up with nervous  
disorders such as panic attacks. One of them went on a raw food chat board and asked if it  might be due to the diet and perh aps they  
should take  B-12. The moderator of that chat board wrote back saying that the diet is perfectly fine and they were just going through detox . However, I was a personal friend of that moderator and so I knew what the other people on the chat board  did not know: I kne w that the  
moderator himself was suffering from terrible panic attacks and was even considering suicide (he had confided that to me, but  on the chat  
board he moderated he still preached the party  line: all problems are just detox). I then read an issue of Chet Day's Health and Beyond newsletter in  which former students of T. C. Fry wrote in and described how they had  
become crippled following his diet. I read another interview in that mag of a Natural Hygienist doctor who said that health p roblems  
"invaria bly" result in a 100% raw vegan diet. Then, in a town very near me, one of the founding members of the local raw food group died at a very young age from heart pro blems. My  
guess  is he was about 49 or so. The doctor told his wife that the man's body had b egun to eat itself and destroyed his heart due to  
malnutrition. His body had not been getting enough nutrition on the raw vegan diet, as he did not absorb enough nutrients fro m raw foods. When his wife shared that info with the members of that raw food sup port group, she was told "the doctor is wrong. And if you are going to  
speak negatively about  raw foods you are no longer welcome to attend." That was the support she  got when her husband had ju st dropped  
dead. I then told a woman from a California raw food support group that story. She responded, "Oh, we just had a guy die from the very  
same thing. The doctors said his body had begun to eat itself due to malnutrition. I began to wonder how prevalent these sort s of problems  
really are. I could go on and on reporting similar things. But suffice it to say that I now believe there are problems with the raw vegan diet. And now tha t 
I have begun to share this sort of information, I am getting the exact response I have seen others get when they shared such info: brushed  
aside with some sort of negative remark. Here is what I have decided to do. I am soliciting peoples experiences, good and bad, with this diet. I am doing a research p roject. It will be  
unbiased. In three years or so I will publish the results. Last remark: I still think raw foods are great! I have thrived on a raw diet with yogurt for 15 years. I have friends who have thrived equally  
long including eggs in their raw diet. So, I am not against raw foods,  I am in favour of them, but now believe the ir is something missing in  
the vegan form of the diet. I guess it is appropriate that, as an Essene, I now find myself supporting the version of the die t given by Jesus in  
the Essene Gospel of Peace (raw diet with dairy). When I was a raw food vegan I was embarrassed by Jesus' including raw dairy in the diet. Now  I realize he knew what he was doing! ....  if you know of anyone who had either a great healing/robust health or bad problems on the raw vegan diet, send me that info for my  
research project: .... In case you want to contribute - contact the Natural Health M2M and ask for the email address. Q:  I am supplementing my vegan diet with B12. Shouldn't that be enough? A: You have to supplement with complete D -vitamins as well. What we get from the sunshine is only part of what we need. And do you get enough long -chained fatty acids? These are are not available from vegetables, only from animal fats, and are necessary for  
normal brain and nerve development. A good source is fat fish, e.g. (wild) salm on. For more on fats, read this extract from http://www.mercola.com/2002/feb/2/vegetarian.htm, Part 1:  
 
Fats And Brain Size  
"...... About half our brain and nervous system is composed of complicated, long -chain, fatty acid molecules. The walls of our blood  vessels  
also need them. Without them we cannot develop normally. These fatty acids do not occur in plants. Fatty acids in a simpler form do occur, but they must be converted into the long -chain molecules by animals - which is a slow, time - 
consuming proce ss. This is where the herbivores come in. Over the year, they convert the simple fatty acids found in grasses and seeds  
into intermediate, more complicated forms that we can convert into the ones that we need. Our brain is considerably larger than that of any ape. Looking back at the fossil record from early hominids to modern man, we see a quite  
remarkable increase in brain size. This expansion needed large quantities of the right fatty acids before it could have occur red. It could  
never have occurred if o ur ancestors had not eaten meat. Human milk contains the fatty acids needed for large brain development - cow's  
milk does not. It is no coincidence that in relative terms, our brain is some fifty times the size of a cow's. The vegetarian will be dismayed t o learn that while soy bean is rich in complete protein, and grains and nuts also combine to provide  
complete proteins, none contains the fats that are essential for proper brain development. copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.drbass.com                                               47 
 
 
Although the eating of fats today is believed by some to be a cause of heart disease (erroneously, see The Cholesterol Myt h), we know that  
our ancestors ate large amounts of fat. Animal skulls are broken open and the brains scooped out; long bones likewise are bro ken for their  
marrow content. Both brain and marrow are very rich in fat. .... "  
(Note that flax seed oil contains  a shorter -chained omega -3 fat ALA, which is a precursor to the long -chained omega -3 fats found in fish, DHA and EPA. More  
at www.mercola.com.) Q:  What do you recommend if I am an ethical vegan not taking supplements? A: To be a successful vegan you have  to be knowledgeable enough to avoid mistakes. One problem area is deficiencies, e.g. of B12 and D vitamins. First, it is not unethical to use dairy and unfertilized eggs. Second, (bee)  
pollen is a good complement to a vegan diet. Another option are certai n fermented products based on nuts, that contain bacteria -made B12  
- but I consider these poor substitutes. I once had a satsangi patient who said he would rather die than eat animal foods. So I recommended bee pollen. The amount sho uld be  
minimum 2 tbsp per day, preferably more, perhaps 1 -2 tbsp per meal. But I have lost touch with this person, so I don't know if it was enough  
to keep him in good health. In my mice studies, mice could survive and stay healthy on bee pollen and vegetables for a very l ong t ime, 
comparable to many decades for humans. Concerning eggs and dairy, these should also be eaten at least once a day (it can be small amounts, and should be raw) - twice a week is  
not enough to stop degeneration, according to my mice studies. Make certain  you read "With Three Generations of Vegetarian Hygienists",  
download here , and "The Ideal Vegetarian Diet by Dr. Cursio" here, for other good ideas for a healthy vegetarian diet. Warnings signs that you are on a deficient vegetarian diet can be strong cr avings, depression, or start of body disintegration. Note that you  
can live on a deficient diet for a long time, but you won't feel perfectly well and you won't function optimally. And one day  you will have  
exhausted your reserves. Another problem area is food quality and toxicity. Organic is better than non -organic. Raw food is better than cooked. And minimize  
carbohydrates, of any kind, see this page for reasons why, - instead eat more (vegetable) fats and proteins. www.drbass.com/mice.html  
In Search of t he Ultimate Vegetarian Diet  
 
"After two years of experiments I concluded that the ideal diet is approximately 75 to 85% raw food" "I still  
worry about people who attempt to be fruitarians." "Most bodies can handle toxemia for a long time. Deficiencies damage us much more quickly." Excerpts from  
“In Search of the Ultimate Vegetarian Diet”  
Volume I  
 
As a believer in raw food vegetarianism myself, I feel a moral imperative to share the disturbing, surprising results of my  
experiments with mice. OVERVIEW  
The following materials represent a four -year project I undertook to answer fundamental questions about nutrition, questions  
such as what is the best diet for humans? Which is most conducive to maximum life span, health, happiness, and freedom  
from disease ? Can it be a diet which includes meats? Seafood? Fruitarian? ....  
..... I wondered how long I would have to wait to discover relevant information. I felt it could easily take another hundred years. I  
felt so frustrated that I started to think about settin g up my own mouse trials. ..... Now, how do most people work out their theories and approaches to diet? From books. If the book is in error, like the o ld 
joke says, "Nice fellow, he died of a misprint, you know." It can happen, easily. We need broad studie s on vegetarianism, all the  
different types of vegetarianism. ADVANTAGES OF WORKING WITH MICE  
..... Why are mice experiments so good? Well, as the medical man who headed the Longevity Research Institute in California,  
Dr. Roy Walford, neatly observes in h is book "Maximum Life Span":  
"If mice cannot live on a diet, you can be sure humans can't." Dr. Walford explains that the metabolism of mice is close to humans. As warm -blooded animals, mice suckle their young. They  
require much the same minerals, vitamins , enzymes, proteins, and carbohydrates that we do. Mice need just a little less food  
that we do for their size, and their life span is proportionate, a ratio of 30 to 1, thirty days of human life to one day of a mouse. DIFFICULTIES IN OBTAINING CLINICAL EXPERIENCE WITH PATIENTS  
Speaking as a practitioner, there are problems with trying to get answers from clinical experience with human beings. Simply  
put, if you put people on a diet, they will cheat much of the time because it's difficult to change from one diet to another. When  
your patients come back to you for re -examination, lots of times they're ashamed to admit they've cheated. So they lie to you,  
and you can't get a true picture. Let me give you an example. I'll ask, "Did you follow the diet?" "Yea h."

"What do you mean, 'Yeah'? A hundred percent? What percentage?" "Why, I'd say about 90%." "What did you eat that was not on the diet?" "Well, I had a pizza one tim e, and we had a Bar Mitzvah so I had steak there..."  
Too often they get tempted to stray from their diet, go on a binge, shrug, and say, "Well, tomorrow I'll start." You can read  about  
this in my book "Overcoming Compulsive Habits", which discusses all the  copouts there are. DIFFICULTIES DUE TO HUMANS' VARYING NUTRITIONAL RESERVES - EXAMPLE B12  
..... Unlike mice - whose deficiencies show up immediately - a human can go for many years before he uses up his reserves  
and his body begins to deteriorate. Consider the B12 factor. It's been discovered that human beings can function five or more years without getting B12. They are  
living on their reserves. Then, after five years, some people will start to develop symptoms. Others can degenerate and  
completely  break down in five years. But many can last for up to ten years. .... DIFFICULTIES DUE TO DECEPTIVE FEELINGS OF WELL -BEING ON CERTAIN DIETS  
..... There are other reasons for a deceptive feeling of well -being. Even if you practice a regimen for a year or two you might feel  
good simply because you are stimulated from an increased sugar content in the diet, as in fruitarianism. You get on a kind of  
high. You say, "Wow, this is a paradise diet. I'm in heaven. This is the way to live!" You follow the diet happ ily and then, wham,  
you run into a vitamin deficiency, your health falls apart, and you can't reverse it anymore. This is a danger in fruitariani sm. ....  
 
LUIGI CORNARO LIVED L02 YEARS  
If you follow a minimal diet you can achieve super nutrition. Let's look at Luigi Cornaro, a man who at age 35 was weak, sick,  
and dying. Click here for the continued story. TEST STARTS  
Not surprisingly, I decided to begin with a test of the fruitarian diet. Additionally, a prominent educator was writing that the 
fruitari an diet was the ultimate diet of man, that man is a fruitarian by nature, and that we shouldn't even eat vegetables. I said  
to myself, "Okay, let's see what the mice have to say." .....  
 
MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES WITH FRUITARIANISM  
Now I had tried to be a fr uitarian myself for two years when I was in my early thirties. I followed the teachings of Arnold Ehret,  
and I ran into problems such as inflammation of my gums, some loosened teeth, a noticeable paleness and weight loss from  
170 to 140 pounds. I lived as a fruitarian for two years with very little cheating. I had always attributed my failure as a total  
fruitarian to the fact that I didn't have enough willpower. It wasn't until my mice experiments thirty years later that I rea lized the  
cheating saved my life. MICE AND THE FRUITARIAN DIET  
I put a group of mice on a fruitarian diet. But they didn't seem to be eating very much fruit, and they certainly weren't cra zy 
about it. .....  
..... When I returned them to the fruitarian diet, after the second day they  started the cannibalistic behavior again. They grabbed  
another young mouse and this time they ate it. The poor thing. I saw it happen. I was shocked. I'd never seen anything like t his. "What happened here?" I asked myself. I had given them a fruitarian di et, a diet that some natural health practitioners fervently believe in. Then I added corn, then  
avocado, foods that fruitarians are not supposed to include, and still I ran into trouble. It really scared me to witness wha t had 
happened to my mice. I worrie d then and still worry about people who attempt to be fruitarians. DEFICIENCIES FROM FRUITARIAN DIET  
..... To relate the results to humans, this trial seemed to indicate that after being a fruitarian for the human equivalent o f three  
months, humans would show deficiencies and imbalances and health problems. My results suggested that if a fruitarian lived  
strictly without cheating he would be able to do so for three months before deficiencies began to show. But since the average  
fruitarian cheats, he doesn' t know the diet doesn't work. If he didn't cheat, after three months his body would start breaking  
down. He wouldn't necessarily die, but problems would start to develop. I immediately added greens, lettuce leaves, and carrot tops. I was stunned by this ex perience. I determined that the cause of  
death was due to protein deficiencies, mineral deficiencies, and possible sugar poisoning from the excess fruit. This shocked  
me. I became so disillusioned that I stopped fruit in all the cages. I had about five cag es at the time with about 150 mice. From  
there on no mice got fruit anymore. Only later, after many months, equivalent of several human years, did I gradually re - 
introduce a little fruit  
 
LOOKING FOR A CANCER DIET  
Then I began another diet. At the time I was looking for a nutritional approach to cancer. I was also looking for a diet that had  
everything the body needed but was close to a fast for those people who couldn't fast. For example, people who were  
emaciated, people who had a fear of fasting, or wha tever. .....

HOW TO SURVIVE DURING A FAMINE  
..... or you were poor, you were broke, and you had a large family it's interesting to realize that you could bring the whole family  
up in perfect health on dried milk or whole milk plus whole wheat alone and nothing else. ..... TOXICITY VERSUS DEFICIENCY  
..... In other words, you could live longer if you ate a complete diet which had salt and pepper and contaminants and chemicals,  
even fluorides in the water, even sprayed chemicals on the food, than if you ate an incomplete diet. But if the foods were wh ole 
and natural, you would live longest and healthiest. ..... We are all more or less toxic to some extent, and we all increase toxins in the blood temporarily when we exercise, but we  
are not all sick. Most bodies can handle a large degree of toxemia for a long time. Deficiencies damage us much more quickly. That's the differe nce between the two evils. ....... In humans, the deficiencies develop more subtly. You could be a vegetarian on a very imbalanced diet and feel good fo r 
five, seven, even ten years, but after ten years you'd start to fall apart when you have used up your reserves of B12 and D.  
When that happens, down you go. And once down, it is very hard to get back up. THE IDEAL VEGETARIAN DIET  
To jump to the end for a moment. After two years of experiments I concluded that the ideal diet is approximately 75 to 85% ra w 
food, with the rest cooked vegetables ....... TESTING EGG YOLK AND EGG WHITE  
..... Interestingly, in the raw food vegetarian cage of mice, when I substituted egg yolk instead of cheese, the growth was e ven 
more rapid. ..... And all the books were saying, "Egg yolks, stay away from them. You'll die of cholesterol. They'll give you heart attacks." For me, I considered one egg a good maximum. Two only for emergencies. Even though Dr. Cursio used daily as many as four  
egg yolks on some patients, their blood pr essure dropped steadily. I found the same to be true. Lecithin in egg yolks appears to  
negate cholesterol deposition in arteries. When I saw the results with the mice, I changed my opinion about eggs. GREENS WERE INDISPENSABLE  
..... I found that greens we re indispensable. I had tested all the vegetables, and I found that the mice preferred lettuce and  
carrot tops to all the vegetables. In fact, I raised them for over ten years in human time almost exclusively on lettuce. Mos tly 
iceberg because I was able t o get the outer leaves free. And they did well even though we know iceberg lettuce isn't the best  
lettuce. ..... Every time I made a discovery with the mice I introduced it with my patients. I found with each discovery that when I  
introduced it into the di et of a patient, greater improvements resulted. I was excited. I was into new territory, and I saw no limit  
to the tremendous knowledge that could unfold. Dr. Cursio was also excited because my findings helped to verify his work as  
accurate. MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF FRUIT TO EAT  
..... You should eat no more than two to three varieties daily of medium fruit - like an apple, an orange, and a banana. Save  
bananas for the end of the day. Or half a cantaloupe and a mango. Or two medium grapefruits and a handful o f cherries. GORILLAS, ORANGUTANGS AND CHIMPS  
...... I'm going to tell you something interesting. The highest apes related to man are the gorillas, the orangutangs, and th e 
chimps. A chimp will eat maybe up to 50% fruit, but they are nervous characters. No w the orangutang will eat up to about 15%  
fruit. The orang's a beautiful animal and much more gentle and lovable than the chimp. But a gorilla eats only 3% fruit. Did you 
know it will bypass fruit for vegetables and shoots? ..... IN CLOSING  
..... the solu tion is simple. Small adjustments in the raw food diet can help users avoid slowly developing but disastrous health  
problems. These small changes can lead to optimum longevity and magnificent health - physically, mentally, and spiritually. As a believer in  raw food vegetarianism myself, I feel a moral imperative to share the disturbing, surprising results of my  
experiments with mice. I hope to help health seekers avoid hidden dangers in their journey toward health, strength, and  
happiness. I hope my discove ries have shed a little light on your journey. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
Interview with Dr. Bass:  
Q:  So you were a fruitarian, and a raw vegan, and finally came to the conclusion that those diets will  cause deficiencies? A: Actually this is quite a common route. Many vegans (who are not cheating) have through their own experiences come to the s ame 
conclusion. Here is an typical example from Arnold DeVries book "The Elixir of Life":

MAHATMA GANDHI  
"The late Mahatma Gandhi devoted much of his life to the advocacy of strict vegetarian diet, and for years he experimented on  his own body  
to find a sui table selection of plant foods on which to sustain health. But all attempts were failures. In 1929, Gandhi and 22 companions went on a diet consisting of a limited selection of uncooke d plant foods. Whereas the diet worked out well for a time and led to m arked improvement in consumptive cases, it failed to prove adequate on a long - 
range sustenance basis. One by one Gandhi's companions were forced to depart from the diet, and Gandhi himself had to add goa t milk to  
his fare in order to regain health. "For my companions I have been a blind guide leading the blind," declared Gandhi after the experiment was over. Gandhi still felt,  however,  
that "the hidden possibilities of the innumerable seeds, leaves and fruits" of the earth could be explored and found to p rovide mankind with  
adequate nourishment. He never stopped trying to experiment along these lines, but he always had to turn back to goat milk to  regain his  
strength. In the end he had to acknowledge the necessity for animal food. In 1946 he declared: "The crores of India today get neither milk nor ghee  
nor butter, nor even buttermilk. No wonder that mortality figures are on the increase and there is a lack of energy in the pe ople. It would  
appear as if man is really unable to sustain life without eithe r meat or milk and milk products. Anyone who deceives people in this regard or  
countenances the fraud is an enemy of India." These are strong words from a man who devoted most of his life to the search for a satisfactory vegetarian diet. But Gandhi's  expe rience is  
not unique in the field of nutrition. Many others have also gone through the experience of believing that man could thrive ex clusively upon a  
limited selection of uncooked plant foods, only to find in the end that animal products were necessary f or sustenance. ...." 
Note that Arnold DeVries himself started out as a convinced fruitarian, but in the end became a strong supporter of Weston -Price theories. And here is another example from chetday.com:  
 
Deficiencies on the Vegan Diet Nearly Destroyed our Health. By Greg Westbrook - Author of: "When Hallelujah Becomes: What Happened ?" ....... When we transitioned to an all -raw vegan diet in 1994 and then to the Hallelujah Diet (an 85% raw vegan diet) in 1997, we were so pleased  
with the results that we  never dreamed our diet would one day let us down. We did not have the vision to realize that we were on a deficient  
diet barreling down a road to nowhere, and that we would one day have to stop the car and back up a very, very long way. ....... 
My weight had dropped to 120 pounds, and I was only a ghost of my normal weight of 155 pounds. We heard from the grapevine that  
people were talking about how old and tired Judie and I were looking. I had also lost almost all my digestive power as well as five teeth to decay on the Genesis 1:29 Diet. And I was always cold, the result of  
slowing metabolism. Things were not looking good for us, but we still did not make the diet connection at that time. Since we thought we were on "God's Ideal Diet," we decided to try even harder at the diet. More raw food, more juicing, more dehydrating,  
and soaking nuts and sprouting seeds, more Barleygreen, more exercise. And this is what we did for another year. We worked ha rder at the  
diet than ever, but to no avail. We were rewarded with even more severe health problems. Judie's head and neck -aches became unbearable, almost making her an invalid. I was extremely cold, and eating food always seemed to  
drag me down, rather than pick me up. Our daughter Sarah had no stamina or energy, and her food cravings had become almost  
unbearable. Our sons had problems too: Tim had no desire to do physical work any more, and Terry was beginning to suffer cons tantly from  
anxiety and depression. Worse yet, we were beginning to see the same pr oblems in others outside our family who were on the Genesis  
1:29 Diet. By the spring of 2001, it began to dawn on us that we had better take another look at our diet. .....

How to Live on a 100% Raw (Vegetarian) Diet Healthfully  
 
"My aim here was to try to find a diet of 100% raw foods that would provide all the factors needed for  
excellent health, free from any deficiencies which invariably seemed to arise in almost all of the most  
popular recommended raw food regimens." copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.drbass.com                                               51 
 
 
INTRODUCTION  
This article has been prepared from Volume II of "In Search of the Ultimate (Vegetarian) Diet", also called "Discovery of the  
Ultimate (Vegetarian) Diet". [See BOOKS list.] In preparing the table of contents, I was surprised to find that on fo ur separate  
occasions, I had tested the 100% raw food diet successfully on the mice I include in this article all of these diets and the  
conclusions reached and am pleased that the results were verified four different times, which only strengthens and vali dates the  
conclusions. MICE EXPERIMENTS - 35 DAY RAW DIET  
On 1/9/83 through 2/15/83, I put six mice for a total of 35 days on a 100 % raw vegetarian diet consisting of raw fruits, gre en 
vegetables, nuts, seeds (sunflower and occasional hulled sesame), dried lentils, grains (mostly wheat and millet), plus raw  
tubers (potatoes and occasional yam). Nothing else was added. One of the mice gave birth to thirteen healthy babies. There  
were no deformities and no cannibalism, which at the time I attributed to t he fresh greens (outer iceberg lettuce leaves and  
occasional carrot leaves). I concluded that humans could safely live on this unfired diet for almost three years - the 30:1 ratio of 35 days for mice being  
equivalent to 35 months for humans. 15 DAY RAW DI ET 
On 4/2/84 through 4/17/84, I put one cage of mice on a 100% raw vegetarian diet for a total of fifteen days consisting of  
legumes (mung beans and lentils, soaked and sprouted), alfalfa sprouts, sunflower seeds, fresh corn on the cob, and  
vegetables (Sav oy cabbage, Romaine lettuce, and carrot tops). They love all of the sprouts. They discard the skins of the sprout shoots. Their first preference is the mung, then the lenti ls 
which they love, and the sunflower. The alfalfa sprouts they like least. The mice  are strong, happy, and have a ravenous appetite. All the mice seem to be in excellent health with excellent spirits and  
energy. I gave them some frozen corn on the cob. When I gave them wheat grass two times (seven inches) long, they didn't  
appear to be i nterested, since only two of them nibbled a little on it. Many mice look pregnant and most seem to be gaining  
more weight and getting plump. One mouse gave birth. 100% RAW DIET AND ADDED GRAINS  
Since I was concerned that the mice might be overeating of pr otein in order to get enough of the carbohydrates on this diet  
without grains (without counting the fresh corn, a diluted form of grains), and also because of their ravenous appetite which  
indicated to me that perhaps they needed more carbohydrates, to the  above cage I added a grain for the first time, wheat  
soaked overnight and very slightly sprouted. The fifteen days on this raw diet indicated that a human could safely live on th is in 
an excellent weight loss diet and one that very possibly could reverse cancer (some cancer cases reversed on a 100% raw diet  
- see "Alternative Cancer Therapies" organization located in New York). I also gave them raw, soaked, hulled buckwheat groats (kasha), which they enjoyed. The mice are very alert, moving faster  
than bef ore. Many males are chasing females, many of whom am now pregnant. I feed the mice two meals a day as follows:  
(a) Beginning with Savoy cabbage, Romaine, carrot tops (alfalfa sprouts occasionally) followed by 1/2 plum tomato. Fifteen  
minutes later I give o ne handful each of both mung and lentil sprouts for about forty mice. b) In the evening, I give the same vegetables again, followed by sunflower and wheat sprouts (two handfuls). Occasionally, I  
give them plain popcorn as a treat, which I make myself (the y are wild about popcorn). The mice go wild for washed, granulated  
kelp, but seem disinterested in wheatgrass. I gave washed dulse leaves to two cages, but they liked the kelp better. The man in the pet shop said that mice needed salt in their diet and if they didn't get it, they would cannibalize the others to get  
the salt from their blood. I gave kelp to avoid this. I gave raw, new white potato, which they wouldn't eat, but they like ra w yams. The mice are very alert and move faster than those in the othe r cages. Some take flying leaps across the cage now. They have  
a tremendous appetite for sprouted or soaked legumes and grains, and they eat less vegetables. A DIET OF RAW SOAKED GRAINS, LENTILS AND VEGETABLES  
On July 20, 1985, a fire was caused in my kit chen by a faulty appliance. When the firemen finished hosing the kitchen and  
cutting a hole in the roof; everything was in complete disorder. Fortunately, the heavy smoke was largely stopped by a wall  
which prevented it from killing the mice in an adjoinin g living room. I was happy to discover that no deaths had occured. Since  
my kitchen was out of order, I stopped all cooking and put all cages that were eating grains on a 100% raw diet consisting of  
raw grains (mostly wheat, etc.) which had been soaked ove rnight, and soaked or sprouted lentils, along with lettuce leaves and  
occasional carrot leaves - basically three to four foods. Now, it's almost three months later and all the cages getting the raw  
grains and lentils thrived very nicely. These three months  or ninety days would equal ninety months or seven and a half years in  
a human equivalent. Therefore, it seems likely that humans should be able to live on raw, soaked overnight (24 hours) grains  
and legumes. Two mice in two of the cages are very fat and obese. At first I thought they were pregnant, but it's been too long  
this way. It's just plain obesity and this on a 100% raw diet almost exclusively for approximately seven and a half years in  
human equivalency. (For further discussion on the effects on s uccessive generations of the 100% vegetarian diet, see In search of the Ultimate Diet  
by Stanley Bass, p.23 -24.) copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.drbass.com  52 
 
 
TESTING A 100 % RAW VEGETARIAN DIET OF LENTIL SPROUTS, SUNFLOWER SPROUTS, FRESH CORN, AND  
GREENS (LETTUCE, CARROT LEAVES, ETC.) My aim here was to try to find a diet of 100% raw foods that the mice and equally humans could live on that would provide all  
the factors needed for excellent health, free fr om any deficiencies which invariably seemed to arise in almost all of the most  
popular recommended raw food regimens. Also, since most of the books written by alternative health practitioners recommended the use of 100% raw vegetarian diet as  
the initial p hase in attempting to reverse cancer, it seemed to be the best way to begin the search for an ideal raw food  
program. I began this diet by providing this cage of about twenty mice with fresh lettuce leaves (mostly outer iceberg and occasionall y 
Romaine) an d occasional carrot leaves, soaked overnight lentils, and unroasted sunflower seeds as well as corn on the cob. These foods were given twice a day in two meals. 10th day: Mice are doing well and are very lively. No fatalities so far. 20th day: So far, the mice are doing very well and are full of great energy. No deaths at all. I added raw yams (which they didn't  
eat much of). 26th day: All are still doing fine. I tried soaked soy beans three days ago, but discontinued them because they like the lent ils 
better. The mice in this cage (No. 1) looked 100% better (cleaner, bigger, and heavier) than the cage No. 2 mice who had fruit  
alone as the only carbohydrate in a complete protein diet (in a test diet which I began two weeks later). 34th day: One female gave b irth to four healthy babies. 37th day: Today in cage No. 1 is the 37th day of this soaked lentil and sunflower diet, with lettuce, occasional carrot tops,  and 
occasional raw yam, and nothing else. The mice look well -fed, are large in size, very energetic, and quick in their movements  
and appear very healthy in all respects. There have been no deaths at all, for this extended period, which thrilled me no end . (None of this food grown organically.) Conclusion: This 37 day diet, which is the human equivalent of 37 months, may now safely be recommended as an excellent  
introductory diet for advanced pathology conditions such as cancer, tumors, arteriosclerosis etc., in my opinion. This is a r aw 
food vegetarian diet. The sunflower seeds and lentils complement eac h other in amino acids to produce an excellent complete  
protein. (See Diet for a Small Planet by Lappe.) I gave the sunflower and lentils two times a day in this cage, one handfull of 
each, each time. ADDING SOAKED GRAINS TO ABOVE RAW DIET  
At this point, I was satisfied and convinced that the mice could have remained on this regimen indefinitely, but I would have  
added a variety of nuts and other additional legumes, etc. But since for humans 37 months was more than enough time to  
reverse many if not most p athological conditions, I decided it would be timely to add raw, soaked grains to avoid a possible  
overload of protein (in legumes) and fat (in the sunflower seeds). I may be wrong in this, but a patient of mine said she fel t 
stronger when she added grains  to her raw nut, fruit, and vegetable diet, which made me decide to try adding grains. Nevertheless, I concluded that this diet had been complete in all particulars for that period of time, so far. On the 37th day I added soaked grains (overnight) such as rye, brown rice, hulled millet (which they preferred to rye). 10/18/85: Today is the seventh day in a row of added soaked grains to the preceding diet and they've been eating the brown  
rice and millet (raw, soaked) with the soaked raw lentils. I stopped so aking the sunflower seeds and give it to them dry and raw. 10/22/85: They love all of these foods and it is now the eleventh day on this added grain diet. It is also the seventh day th at I've  
been giving soaked and drained brown rice as the only grain, alo ng with sprouted lentils and dry sunflower seeds. 10/24/85: Today is the thirteenth day of added grains and the ninth day in which the soaked brown rice is the only grain. I f ound 
the first death today. All mice look very healthy and some are pregnant. The  house mice who have escaped love the soaked  
rice and go after it no matter where I put it, even if I hang it up in a bag on a string. For a long time now they've been ea ting my  
raw, dried brown rice in the boxes. I trapped six mice today in a cage and put  them free in the street. 10/27/85: Today is the sixteenth day of added grains and the 12th day in which the brown rice is the only grain. Today I foun d a 
second dead mouse and its body was intact and uneaten. Weather was excellent today. The causes of the se two deaths was  
indicated. 11/10/85: Today is the 30th day of added grain. A third death occurred. The rest look very healthy. 11/12/85: Today is the 32nd day of added grain. A fourth death occurred. The rest look very healthy. 11/19/85: Today is the 39t h day of added grain. A fifth death occurred. The rest look very healthy. 11/27/85: Today is the 47th day of added grain. A sixth death occurred. The rest look very healthy. POSSIBLE CAUSES OF DEATHS  
Today I heard that when pigeons eat dried rice, it swel ls up in their stomachs and causes their death. Since my mice in this  
cage have been eating the brown rice as their only carbohydrate grain, this may very well be the cause of these deaths. The  
sixth death occurred because last night was exceptionally cold . (A later test where I gave ground dry rice as a grain caused  
several deaths which appeared to confirm this.) Since the rice was their chief grain for 43 days, five deaths were very littl e 
considering that they were on this raw, pure, vegetarian diet for 47 days and 37 before without grain, totalling 84 days of both  
combined, a human equivalent of 84 months or seven years. Another factor to be considered is the absence of Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in their diet for this long period, which could h ave 
been a  cause of these five deaths; the first one beginning after the 50th day of this pure vegetarian diet, which, for humans,  
would have been the 50th month. copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.drbass.com                                               53 
 
 
BASIS FOR IDEAL RAW DIET  
All facts considered, I've come to the conclusion that this 100% raw, vegetarian program is a solid basis for a safe, complet e 
protein and finely -balanced ideal, raw food diet, which could be used for  years if necessary for  
(a) a survival diet under famine conditions;  
(b) as an introductory diet for weight loss and many pathological conditions; and  
(c) with the inclusion of additional variety in grains, legumes, seeds, nuts, it could be most satisfying , and with the addition of  
some dairy or eggs, fish, or other animal food, it could provide all factors to cover all bodily needs (B12, Vitamin D, etc.) . Some fruit may safely be added as well as other carbohydrates such as potatoes, corn, yams, squash, et c. 
 
UNIQUE RAW FOOD PROGRAM - FREE FROM DEFICIENCIES  
The solid proof of the great potential of this basic raw food vegetarian diet which has been proven successful with the mice,  
clearly indicates that humans now, for the first time, have a 100% raw food p rogram which they may go on safely, free from all  
deficiencies. I know of no other raw food program in existence which is totally free from deficiencies at present. A complete diet will be  
worked out and presented at the end of the book upon completion.

WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU VACCINATE  
(Extracts from Studies on the Effects of Vaccines and Serums on the Lymphatic System)  
"The lymph flow is as essential as the blood flow, and the poisoning of the lymphatic system simply  
means the poisoning of the body tissues and organs. " "It is up to the mothers of the land to take a  
determined stand and they should quickly end the compulsory vaccination of children. Without  
compulsion, the hideous practice would soon disappear. " INTRODUCTION  
Dr. Bass finds this old a rticle worth re -publishing. It explains the lymphatic system and its function, and the effect of vaccination  
on this system, as well as the dangers of vaccination. Natural Hygiene doctors have always recommended avoiding  
vaccinations, and some of the reaso ns for this you'll find below. VACCINES ARE POISONOUS  
 The most scientific argument yet produced, in attacking the theory and practice of vaccination and serum treatment, is the  
presentation of data proving the harmful effects of vaccines and serums upon the lymphatic system when these poisons or  
foreign substances are introduced into the system by points or needles. Illustrations here given show the sores resulting from vaccination including tracings of lymphatic vessels and nodes that  
become poisoned and  blocked, producing various disturbances and organic disorders ranging from suppuration of the nodes to  
gangrene, tuberculosis and cancer. THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM  
We have in the human body a wonderful system of circulation, in that it is threefold. There is the arterial and venous circulation  
of the blood, and there is the third circulation, called the lymphatic circulation. It is the last, which here concerns us. The lymphatic circulation has a series of channels, tubes or ducts, with a terminal drainage poi nt in the veins on either side of  
the neck. Associated with the lymphatic circulation are hundreds of glands, technically called "nodes. " Now these nodes or glands are  
"traps," and in case of emergency they retain, until sometimes overburdened, poisons tha t if allowed to escape through the  
system at once would produce almost instant death. When these glands become blocked and overflow, as they do in extreme cases of vaccine poisoning, the blood circulation  
takes up the blockage products, and death from bloo d poisoning is the result. SWELLING OF LYMPH GLANDS  
In an ordinary vaccination, the axillary glands in the armpit will be swollen and tender. copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.
