I again wish to thank you for your kindness in  helping my wife and me to better appreciate the importance of water
to our health. We feel the conscious increase in our water consumption contributed greatly to our weight loss — a weight loss
which had been urged upon both of us by our respective physicians for years. My loss of approxim ately forty-five
(45) pounds has resulted in such a lower ing of my b lood pressure that I am no longer taking medicine for my blood
pressur e. My wife's weight loss has alleviated the discomfort she has experienced for years with  her back. In
addition, she believes the weight loss has reduced her discom fort and problems with her allergies. With best wishes, I remain
Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Batmanghelidj:
Since my 24 May 1994 letter, and your consequent telephone call, a physical change of address has absorbed my
time. The new address is LTC Walter F. Burmeister, 118 Casitas del Este, El Paso, Texas 79935. Albeit, much more important than these facts, I am in a position to verify how ta p water effectively lowers
hypertension. Starting in early April 1994, leaving years of diuretics and calcium-blockers behind, in accordance with
your recommendation, for approximately 3 months I drank a minimum of eight 8-ounce glasses of tap water;
occasionally more. The blood pressure, heretofore contained by drugs, gradually dropped from an average around
150-160 systolic/over 95-98 diastolic to an amazing, drug free, 130-135 systolic/over 75-80 diastolic fluctuating
average. My wife makes these measurements at home; each time taking two or three readings. The record shows several
lows of 120s. over 75d. and a rare high of 140s. over 90d. However, the average range, as sta ted above, uniformly
dominates. In addition to vitamins and minerals, this drug-free approach, based essentially on tap water and a pinch of salt, has
relaxed my system end justifies the confidence that you  hold the handles of a truly revolutionary and marvelous
medical concept. Since you are about to publish a book with applicable testimonies of the Hydration System, my personal experience
is gratefully offered as a way of saying thank you. Respectful ly yours,
HIGHER BL OOD CHOL ESTEROL
Higher blood cholesterol is a sign that the cells of the body have developed a defense mechanism against the
osmotic force of the blood that keeps drawing water out through the cell membranes; or the co ncentrated blood can
not release sufficient water to go through the cell membr ane and maintain normal cell functions. Cholesterol is a
natural "clay" that, when poured in the gaps of the cell membrane, will make the cell wall impervious to the passag e
of water (see Figure 14). Its excessive manufactu re and deposition in the cell membrane is part of the natural
design for the protection of living cells against dehydration. In living cells that possess a  nucleus, cholesterol is the
agent that regulates permeability of the cell membrane to water. In living cells that do not possess a nucleus, the
composition of fatty acids employed in the manufactu re of the cell membrane gives it the power to survive
dehydration and drought. Cholesterol production in the cell membrane is a part of the cell survival system. It is a
necessar y substance. Its excess denotes dehydration. Normally, it is water that instantly, repeatedly, and transiently forms into adhesive sheets and binds the hydrocarbon
bricks to gether. In a dehydrated/membrane, this property of water is
lost At the same time that water is binding the solid structure of the membrane, it also diffuses through the gaps into
the cell. Figure 14 has been designed to demonstrate the structure of a bilayer membrane during full hydration and its
possible extreme dehydration. I have presented this researched concept at an international gathering of cancer
researchers. These same scientific sta tements are published and have been discussed by other researchers. Howdoes this phenomenon affect us in our everyday life? The answer is sim ple. Imagine that you are sitting at a table
and food is brought to you. If you, do not drink water before you eat the food, the process of food digestion will take
its toll on the cells of the body. W ater will have to be poured on the food in the stomach for proteins to break and
separate into the basic com position of their amino acids. In the intestine, more water will be required to process the
food ingredients and then send them to the liver. In the liver, the specialized cells will  further process the intestine-digested materials and then pass the resupplied
and composition adjusted blood to the right side of the heart. In th e liver, more water is used to  process the food
ingredients. The blood from the right side of the heart, which has also received some "fat" com ponents from the
lymphatic system that empties into the right side of the heart, will now be pumped into the lungs for oxygenation and
exchange of the dissolved gases in the blood. In the lungs, aeration of the blood further dehydrates it by the process
of evaporation of water—the "winter steam." Now this highly concentrated blood from the lungs is passed  to the left side of the heart and pumped into the arterial
circulation. The first cells that will face  this highly osmotically concentrated blood are the cells lining the larger blood
vessels and capillaries of the heart and the brain. Where the arteries bend, the osmotically damaged cells will also
face the pressure of the oncoming blood. Here, the cells will either need to protect themselves or become
irreversibly damaged. Do not forget that the integrity of their cell membrane is proportionately dependent on the
presence of "water" that is available to them and not that which is being osmotically pulled out. A look at Figure 15,
and then Figure 14, will make the understanding of this process o f "cholesterol adaptation" to dehydration easier. There comes a moment when the brain begins to recognize the further imposed severe shortage of water in the
body, and then in the middle of eating food will compel the person to drink it. It is already to o late, because the
damage is registered by th e cells lining the blood vessels. Ho wever, when this dehydration registers itself by
production of the dyspeptic pain, we most stupidly give the person antacid! Not water, antacids! Not water,
histamine-blocking agents! Unfor tunately, this is the problem with all treatment procedures under the "solutes
paradigm." All treatmen t procedures are "relief o f symptoms" oriented. The y are not geared t o the eliminatio n of the
root cause of the problem. This is why "di seases" are not cured. They are only "tre ated" during the lifetime of the
person. The root cause of degenerative diseases is not known, because a wrong paradigm is being pursued. If we begin to
appreciate that for the process of digestion of food, water is the most essen tial ingredient, most of the battle is won. If we give the necessar y water to the body before we eat food, all the battle against cholesterol formation in the
blood vessels will  be won. After a longer period of regulating daily water intake, so that the cells become fully hydrated, gradually the
cholesterol defense system against the free passage of water through the cell wall will be less required; its
production will decrease. The hormone-sensitive, fat-burning enzymes of the body have been shown to become
active after one hour's walk. They remain active for 12 hours. It also seems that with the lowering of blood
cholesterol and walking to induce the "fat burners'" activity, the deposited cholesterol will also be broken and
passage of blood through the already blocked arteries will become possible (see Mr. Fox's letter). Walking two times a day—every 12 hours—will maintain the activity of the hormone sensitive fat burning enzyme
(hormone sensitive lipase) during day and night and help clear away the excess lipid deposits in the arteries. Testimonials Th at Make You Ponder
Mr. Mohammed Wahby's concern is not unique to him; everyone who has raised blood cholesterol levels is worried. It is com mon knowledge that many diseases are associated with raised cholesterol levels in blood circulation. Different blood cholesterol levels have in the past been considered normal—all the time decreasing the accepted
threshold until around 200 (milligrams per 100 cubic centimeters of blood) is now considered normal. Even this
figure is an arbitrary assessme nt. I personally believe the normal range to be around 100 to 150. My own levels
started around 89 and never went above 130. Why? Because for years and years, my d ay started with two to three
glasses o f water. In any case, a March 28, 1991 New England Journal o f Medicine report, followed  by an edito rial,
about an 88-year-old man who eats 25 eggs daily and has normal blood cholesterol levels, reveals one fact. The
cholesterol we eat seems to have little to do with the high level of


; and possibly "braking"
with pressure on certain acupoints. Knowing exactly when and
how to apply these measures is not sirnple. It is not always clear
how close one is to the brink. Practice, self-discipline, and pref
erably, a cooperat ive partner arc crucial for rnastering orgasn1ic
brinkmanship. The Taoist or Zen attitude is advised for men here. Unwind
fully, and enjoy yourself Do not grit your teeth or tense your
muscles; tension is the surest way to premature ejaculation. If you
lose control at first, as will happen with beginners, it is no disas
tcr;just try again. Even a n1aster of brinkn1anship may fall off the
cliff if he is with a new partner. It takes a nun1ber of sessions for
partners to adjust to one another. When coitus begins, if you, the rnale, and your partner have
enjoyed sufficient love-play and are in a romantic n1ood, the moon
grotto should be well lubricated and the jade stalk quite rigid. Do
not try to penetrate irnmcdiatcly. Instead, usc the tip of the jade
stalk to tease the shaft of the clitoris and the vestibule of the grotto
217 ;\ N < · 1 F N T S 1: C R f T S •= < l R M < l I l E I� N I. < ) V J: I� S
between the inner lips. This will further arouse your partner and
increase lubrication, which reduces friction and makes brin k
manship easier. If your partner wants immediate insertion, resist
and withdraw; then tease her again. This will help build your self
confidence. Advance the jade stalk tentatively and gradually. One Taoist
school teaches fifteen deep breaths for the man for each inch he
inserts. You need not follow this rigid rule, but you get the idea. For the manipulation of chi here, deep diaphragm breathing is of
supreme importance. When insertion is complete, remain in with
out thrusting or letting your partner move. When your sensation
quiets down, make shallow, leisurely thrusts. When thrusting,
contract your cinnabar field and anus, and breathe deeply the en
tire time. Avoid deep thrusting during this initial stage. If any acute sen sation develops, slow or stop your movement. If necessary, withdraw completely for about 10 seconds; then rein
sert. Your partner may be highly aroused while you try to keep
your cool. Strangely, the more she is aroused, the more self-control
you may develop in lovemaking. Try to discourage your partner
from making any abrupt, impatient movements at this time. Practice alone can help you sense accurately how close you are
to the brink, and when you should slow down or stop before re
suming coitus. If you sense yourself too close, apply the emer
gency brake: Press your middle and index fingers firmly on the
hui-yin acupoint on your perineum for 4 or 5 seconds, while breath
ing deeply; repeat if necessary. If done in time, this should pre
vent any ejaculation; the pressure can be applied while the jade
stalk is still inserted or after it is withdrawn. Only a virtuoso in
orgasmic brinkmanship can dispense with such measures as press
ing the hui-yin acupoint or the Tantric-inspired squeezing of the
frenulum or base of the stalk (recommended by Masters and
Johnson). When you first begin to practice your self-control during in
tercourse, inform your partner. Otherwise, your huffing and
puffing and other intense efforts n1ight be n1istakcn as signs of
apoplexy or heart attack. Your partner n1ay bccon1e frantic or apo
plectic herself; she n1ay try to help with 1nouth-to-n1outh resusci
tation, which is delightful, or she 1nay call for help, which could
be embarrassing. I)uring the early stages of brinkn1anship, sym
pathetic cooperation fron1 your partner is helpful to you both. O�'. tHmi c Hrinkr nmrsl ril' mrd Multi plt' o:�
Son1c advice tor won1cn is in order here. Your partner's per
tornlancc during the initial stages of hrinknunship tnay he frus
trating; patienn. · is your hl'St n·action. If you arc Sl'Xually gn·edy,
unsytnpathctic, or contl'tnptuous toward your partner's fum
bling. you nuy shatter his self-control. That will k·ad to prenu
turc t:jaculation or, \Vorse, tl'tnporary in1potence. Keep in n1ind
that once he has practiced sutliciently, your partner will have tu
tored his autonotnic nervous systen1 to withstand n1uch of your
passionate writhings and wrigglings. Soon he will be bringing
you to new orgastnic heights. As ml·ntioncd earlier, even though for n1ost n1cn they take
place sinntltancously. n1ale orgasn1 and ejaculation arc not the
same. The ancient technique of orgastnic brinktnanship enables a
n1an to separate his orgasn1 fron1 his ejaculation. He can keep
himself so ncar the brink that he experiences a series of smaller,
diffuse orgasms-quite similar to those women have-without
t:iaculation. And multiple orgasms without emission n1ean that
he can have sex much more often than if he ejaculated every time,
and that in a single session he can prolong pleasure, in himself and
his partner, until either or both reach an explosive orgasm. More ambitious couples who have discovered what a magic
wand the nonemitting phallus is can practice advanced lovemak
ing. Sophisticated lovemaking depends partly on the choice of
positions, and even more so on the coital dynamics. CoiTAL Posi TIONS
The earliest known systematically listed configurations for sexual
intercourse-the Arcane Maid's Nine Positions and the Mystic
Master of the Grotto's Thirty-subsequently made their way
from China to India and Japan in the East, and then to the West. Today one can count more than a hundred positions, a tally star
tling to tnost Westerners. These positions range from the mun
dane to the exotic, from the sensible to the ridiculous, and they
often have been overemphasized. Many "exotic" positions arc
merely variations of basic ones, with slight changes in the place
ment of lin1bs or in the slope of bodies. Quite a few positions are
more interesting in concept than in sensation. Others arc exclu
sively for acrobats and contortion ists. Because they arc titillating. 219 and lend themselves to graphic description, sexual positions are a
rich source for artists and writers in sexology, pornography, and
erotica. Unsophisticated lovers consider attention to coital posi
tion the pinnacle of sexual sophistication. In reality, love-play and
coital dynamics are far more significant. Yet finding the right position is important, especially in cases
of difference in size or in other circumstances of possible incom
patibility. Some positions affect considerably the depth and angle
of penetration, ease of movement. and thus the resulting sensa
tions. Most positions may be grouped into the following catego
ries: face to face, side by side, riding, sitting, rear entry, standing,
and whimsical. (See chapter 8 for the positions suggested by the
Arcane Maid and the Mystic Master; some are referred to below
for com paris on. ) Face to Face
In the basic face-to-face position, the so-called missionary posi
tion, the woman lies on her back with her legs slightly parted, and
the man lies on top of her, supporting himself partly with his
hands. (The same position is used for the Arcane Maid's Somer
saulting Dragons and the Mystic Master's Swifts Sharing a Heart. ) The advantages here are that the man and woman can kiss and em
brace, converse and make eye contact, and watch one another's ex
pressions. The disadvantages are that penetration is shallow, and
genital pressure and stin1ulation only moderate. Things can be made n1ore interesting, however, if the won1an's
pelvic angle and the placcrnent of her legs arc tnodified. A sntall
cushion or pillow under her lumbar region changes the angle of
her n1oon grotto passage, and thereby pennits easier and slightly
deeper penetration. Sirnilar results obtain if she reclines with her
sacrurn on thl' edge o f the bed, her thighs spread, and her legs
sloping down to the floor. If her partner leans forward between
her thighs, his jade stalk can indirl'Ctly stirnulate her clitoris. At
this angle his glans touches thl · back wall of thl· grotto, which is
not rich


 As	you	reduce	the	amount	of	warm	air	onto	your	finger,	you	begin	to
feel	a	need	or	want	for	air. Maintain	the	need	for	air	for	about	four	minutes. It	should	be	distinct
without	being	stressful. You	are	taking	in	a	small	breath	in	(1	cm)	and	allowing	out	a	relaxed
breath. The	overall	movements	of	your	breathing	should	have	reduced	by
about	30%	to	40%. Minimize	the	movement	of	your	chest	and	tummy. The	need	for	air	during	this	exercise	should	be	no
greater	than	at	the	end	of	the	Control	Pause.A
nother	way	to	describe	the	feeling	you	want	is	that	it	is	like	the	same	level
of	breathlessness	that	you	feel	during	a	mild	walk. The	only	difference	now	is
that	you	are	sitting	still. Knowing	this	will	help	reduce	any	panicky	feelings
that	you	may	experience. Your	need	for	air	should	be	distinct	but	not	stressful. If	your	need	for	air	is	not	distinct,	then	further	reduce	your	breathing. If	your
need	for	air	is	too	stressful,	then	breathe	a	little	more	and	allow	your	body	to
relax. If	you	feel	that	you	cannot	grasp	this	exercise	or	if	you	feel	too	much
discomfort,	then	concentrate	on	practicing
Many	Small	Breath	Holds
or
simply	walk	with	your	mouth	closed	and	generate	the	feeling	of	needing	or
wanting	air. As	you	practice	this	exercise,	you	should	start	to	feel	warmer	as	the
carbon	dioxide	increases	in	your	blood. This	is	good	feedback	and
indicates	improved	blood	flow	and	oxygenation. If	you	don’t	feel	warmer,
ensure	that	you	have	air	shortage	and	that	you	are	able	to	sustain	it	for	four
minutes	at	a	time. Many	people	also	feel	their	anxiety	decrease	after
commencing	this	exercise. Their	minds	become	sharper	and	their	tension
eases. Every	now	and	again,	your	mind	may	wander. As	soon	as	you	notice	this,
gently	bring	your	attention	back	to	your	breathing	and	reduce	it. Since	this
can	happen	every	five	or	ten	seconds,	don’t	give	out	to	yourself	if	it	is
frequent. Your	ability	to	keep	your	attention	on	your	breathing	will	greatly
improve	with	practice. Feel	a	tolerable	but	distinct	need	for	air	throughout	the	four	minutes. In
addition	to	improved	oxygenation,	each	time	you	bring	your	attention
back	to	your	breath	you	are	helping	to	tame	your	mind. You	are
dissolving	your	thought	patterns	and	the	more	you	watch	your	breath
throughout	the	day,	the	more	frequently	your	thought	activity	subsides
and	stillness	takes	over.Correcting	breathing	volume	(a	more	detailed	approach)

T
he	following	exercise	is	the	essence	of	the	Buteyko	Method. The	merging
of	diaphragmatic	breathing	is	my	own	work	based	on	feedback	from	people
attending	my	clinic. This	is	back	to-	basics	learning	to	correct	the	volume	and
use	our	diaphragm. This	is	how	we	should	be	breathing	every	minute,	every
hour,	every	day. This	exercise	is	the	Left	Hand	Rule	of	Buteyko	and	is	defined	as	“reduction
of	breathing	volume	by	relaxation	of	the	muscles	involved	in	respiration	to
create	a	need	for	air.”	(The	Right	Hand	Rule	is	correct	posture	with	the	mouth
closed.) In	other	words,	our	breathing	volume	decreases	when	our	breathing
muscles	are	relaxed. There	are	three	parts	to	this	exercise,	and	they	all	fit	together. Learn	the	first
part	then	move	to	the	second,	and	finally	the	third. If	you	feel	that	you	cannot
master	this	exercise,	practice	the	easier	version	instead. In	time,	as	your	CP
increases,	you	can	return	to	this	exercise. Part	1. Relaxation	of	respiratory	muscles. Part	2. Learning	to	tummy	breathes. Part	3. Bringing	reduced	and	diaphragmatic	breathing	together. Since	food	affects	your	breathing,	it	is	best	to	practice	this	exercise	on	an
empty	stomach	or	at	least	not	straight	after	eating. This	is	by	far	the	most	important	exercise,	as	it	trains	you	to	be	aware	of	your
breathing	volume,	to	permanently	change	your	CO
2
	levels	and	to	relax	the
muscles	involved	with	respiration. Adopt	a	correct	but	comfortable	posture. Correct	posture	involves	sitting	up
straight	with	both	feet	under	your	chair. Sit	in	the	horse	rider	position	at	the
edge	of	the	chair	with	your	back	straight	and	your	knees	lower	than	your	hips. Correct	posture	is	very	important	in	helping	to	reduce	your	breathing. If	you
are	slouched,	you	will	compress	your	diaphragm,	increase	the	tension	that	you
experience	and	increase	your	breathing	volume. For	example,	the	following	exercise	illustrates	just	how	posture	affects	our
breathing:

Bend	forward;
Feel	how	you	are	breathing	for	a	couple	of	minutes;
Sit	up;
Now	feel	how	you	are	breathing. You	will	find	that	it	is	a	lot	easier	to	breathe	while	sitting	up. The	diaphragm
T
he	diaphragm	is	our	main	breathing	muscle. It	is	a	dome	shaped	sheet	of
muscle	that	separates	our	thorax,	which	houses	the	heart	and	lungs	from	our
abdomen,	which	holds	the	intestines,	stomach,	liver	and	kidneys. Diaphragmatic	breathing	is	more	efficient	because	the	amount	of	blood	flow
in	the	lower	lobes	of	the	lungs	is	greater	than	in	the	upper. The	fast,	shallow
breaths	of	people	who	chronically	hyperventilate	results	in	less	oxygen
transfer	to	the	blood	and	a	greater	loss	of	CO
2
. Fast,	shallow	breaths	also
activate	thesympathetic	nervous	system,	resulting	in	more	tension. The	good	news	is	that
diaphragmatic	breathing	can	be	easily	learned. Part	1:	Relaxation	of	respiratory	muscles
Sit	up	straight. Lengthen	the	distance	between	your	naval	and	sternum
(chest). Forcing	yourself	into	a	“straight	position”	is	not	necessary,	as
this	only	increases	tension. Place	one	hand	on	your	tummy	(just	above	your	navel)	and	one	hand	on
your	chest. Place	attention	on	the	movements	of	your	lower	hand. While	sitting	up
straight,	gently	push	your	tummy	outwards. Don’t	make	any	changes	to
your	breathing	at	this	point. This	exercise	is	primarily	to	encourage
diaphragmatic	movement. Alternatively,	you	can	lie	on	your	back	with
both	knees	bent. Draw	in	your	tummy	and	watch	your	hand	move	inwards. Do	this	simple
exercise	for	a	few	minutes	to	help	activate	a	“dormant”	diaphragm. Recap
Gently	push	your	tummy	out. Watch	your	hand	move	outwards. Gently	draw	your	tummy	in. Watch	your	hand	move	inwards. At	this	point,	don’t	be	concerned	about	how	you	are	breathing. Continue	to	do
this	for	just	a	few	minutes. When	you	feel	you	can	move	your	tummy	in	and	out	easily	at	will,	proceed	to
the	next	stage,	which	is	to	incorporate	tummy	movements	with	breathing. The

	word	protein	comes	from	the	Greek	word
proteios,
	which
means	“of	prime	importance. ”
In	the	nineteenth	century,	protein	was	synonymous	with	meat,	and	this
connection	has	stayed	with	us	for	well	over	a	hundred	years. Many	people
today	still	equate	protein	with	animal-based	food. If	you	were	to	name	the
first	food	that	comes	to	mind	when	I	say	protein,	you	might	say	beef. If	you
did,	you	aren’t	alone. Confusion	reigns	on	many	of	the	most	basic	questions	about	protein:
What	are	good	sources	of	protein. How	much	protein	should	one	consume. Is	plant	protein	as	good	as	animal	protein. Is	it	necessary	to	combine	certain	plant	foods	in	a	meal	to	get	complete
proteins. Is	it	advisable	to	take	protein	powders	or	amino	acid	supplements,
especially	for	someone	who	does	vigorous	exercise	or	plays	sport. Should	one	take	protein	supplements	to	build	muscle. Some	protein	is	considered	high	quality	some	low	quality;	what	does	this
mean. Where	do	vegetarians	get	protein. Can	vegetarian	children	grow	properly	without	animal	protein. Fundamental	to	many	of	these	common	questions	and	concerns	is	the
belief	that	meat	is	protein	and	protein	is	meat. This	belief	comes	from	the	fact
that	the	“soul”	of	animal-based	foods	is	protein. In	many	meat	and	dairy
products,	we	can	selectively	remove	the	fat	but	we	are	still	left	with
recognizable	meat	and	dairy	products. We	do	this	all	the	time,	with	lean	cuts
of	meat	and	skim	milk. But	if	we	selectively	remove	the	protein	from	animal-
based	foods,	we	are	left	with	nothing	like	the	original. A	non-protein	steak,
for	example,	would	be	a	puddle	of	water,	fat	and	a	small	amount	of	vitamins
and	minerals. Who	would	eat	that. In	brief,	for	a	food	to	be	recognized	as	an
animal-based	food,	it	must	have	protein. Protein	is	the	core	element	of
animal-based	foods. Early	scientists	like	Carl	Voit	(1831-1908),	a	prominent	German	scientist,
were	staunch	champions	of	protein. Voit	found	that	“man”	needed	only	48. 5
grams	per	day,	but	nonetheless	he	recommended	a	whopping	118	grams	per
day	because	of	the	cultural	bias	of	the	time. Protein	equaled	meat,	and
everyone	aspired	to	have	meat	on	his	or	her	table,	just	as	we	aspire	to	have
bigger	houses	and	faster	cars. Voit	figured	you	can’t	get	too	much	of	a	good
thing. Voit	went	on	to	mentor	several	well-known	nutrition	researchers	of	the
early	1900s,	including	Max	Rubner	(1854-1932)	and	W. O. Atwater	(1844-
1907). Both	students	closely	followed	the	advice	of	their	teacher. Rubner
stated	that	protein	intake,	meaning	meat,	was	a	symbol	of	civilization	itself:
“a	large	protein	allowance	is	the	right	of	civilized	man. ”	Atwater	went	on	to
organize	the	first	nutrition	laboratory	at	the	United	States	Department	of
Agriculture	(USDA). As	director	of	the	USDA,	he
recommended	125	grams
per	day	(only	about	fifty-five	grams	per	day	is	now	recommended). Later,	we
will	see	how	important	this	early	precedent	was	to	this	government	agency. A	cultural	bias	had	become	firmly	entrenched. If	you	were	civilized,	youate	plenty	of	protein. If	you	were	rich,	you	ate	meat,	and	if	you	were	poor,
you	ate	staple	plant	foods,	like	potatoes	and	bread. The	lower	classes	were
considered	by	some	to	be	lazy	and	inept	as	a	result	of	not	eating	enough	meat,
or	protein. Elitism	and	arrogance	dominated	much	of	the	burgeoning	held	of
nutrition	in	the	nineteenth	century. The	entire	concept	that	bigger	is	better,
more	civilized	and	perhaps	even	more	spiritual	permeated	every	thought
about	protein. Major	McCay	a	prominent	English	physician	in	the	early	twentieth
century,	provided	one	of	the	more	entertaining,	but	most	unfortunate,
moments	in	this	history. Physician	McCay	was	stationed	in	the	English

tribes. Among	other	things,	he	said	that	people	who	consumed	less	protein
were	of	a	“poor	physique,	and	a	cringing	effeminate	disposition	is	all	that	can
be	expected. ”PRESSING	FOR	QUALITY
Protein,	fat,	carbohydrate	and	alcohol	provide	virtually	all	of	the	calories	that
we	consume. Fat,	carbohydrate	and	protein,	as
macro
nutrients,	make	up
almost	all	the	weight	of	food,	aside	from	water,	with	the	remaining	small
amount	being	the	vitamin	and	mineral
micro
nutrients. The	amounts	of	these
latter
micro
nutrients	needed	for	optimum	health	are	tiny	(milligrams	to
micrograms). Protein,	the	most	sacred	of	all	nutrients,	is	a	vital	component	of	our	bodies
and	there	are	hundreds	of	thousands	of	different	kinds. They	function	as
enzymes,	hormones,	structural	tissue	and	transport	molecules,	all	of	which
make	life	possible. Proteins	are	constructed	as	long	chains	of	hundreds	or
thousands	of	amino	acids,	of	which	there	are	fifteen	to	twenty	different	kinds,
depending	on	how	they	are	counted. Proteins	wear	out	on	a	regular	basis	and
must	be	replaced. This	is	accomplished	by	consuming	foods	that	contain
protein. When	digested,	these	proteins	give	us	a	whole	new	supply	of	amino
acid	building	blocks	to	use	in	making	new	protein	replacements	for	those	that
wore	out. Various	food	proteins	are	said	to	be	of	different	quality,	depending
on	how	well	they	provide	the	needed	amino	acids	used	to	replace	our	body
proteins. This	process	of	disassembling	and	reassembling	the	amino	acids	of
proteins	is	like	someone	giving	us	a	multicolored	string	of	beads	to	replace	an
old	string	of	beads	that	we	lost. However,	the	colored	beads	on	the	string
given	to	us	are	not	in	the	same	order	as	the	string	we	lost. So,	we	break	the
string	and	collect	its	beads. Then,	we	reconstruct	our	new	string	so	that	the
colored	beads	are	in	the	same	order	as	our	lost	string. But	if	we	are	short	of
blue	beads,	for	example,	making	our	new	string	is	going	to	be	slowed	down
or	stopped	until	we	get	more	blue	beads. This	is	the	same	concept	as	in
making	new	tissue	proteins	to	match	our	old	worn	out	proteins. About	eight	amino	acids	(“colored	beads”)	that	are	needed	for	making	our
tissue	proteins	must	be	provided	by	the	food	we	eat. They	are	called
“essential”	because	our	bodies	cannot	make	them. If,	like	our	string	of	beads,
our	food	protein	lacks	enough	of	even	one	of	these	eight	“essential”	amino
acids,	then	the	synthesis	of	the	new	proteins	will	be	slowed	down	or	stopped. This	is	where	the	idea	of	protein	quality	comes	into	play. Food

Government:	Is	It	for	the	People? D
URING	THE	PAST	TWO	TO	THREE	DECADES
,	we	have	acquired	substantial
evidence	that	most	chronic	diseases	in	America	can	be	partially	attributed	to
bad	nutrition. Expert	government	panels	have	said	it,	the	surgeon	general	has
said	it	and	academic	scientists	have	said	it. More	people	die	because	of	the
way	they	eat	than	by	tobacco	use,	accidents	or	any	other	lifestyle	or
environmental	factor. We	know	that	the	incidence	of	obesity	and	diabetes	is
skyrocketing	and	that	Americans’	health	is	slipping	away,	and	we	know	what
to	blame:	diet. So	shouldn’t	the	government	be	leading	us	to	better	nutrition? There	is	nothing	better	the	government	could	do	that	would	prevent	more	pain
and	suffering	in	this	country	than	telling	Americans	unequivocally	to	eat	less
animal	products,	less	highly-refined	plant	products	and	more	whole,	plant-
based	foods. It	is	a	message	soundly	based	on	the	breadth	and	depth	of
scientific	evidence,	and	the	government	could	make	this	clear,	as	it	did	with
cigarettes. Cigarettes	kill,	and	so	do	these	bad	foods. But	instead	of	doing	this,
the	government	is	saying	that	animal	products,	dairy	and	meat,	refined	sugar
and	fat	in	your	diet	are	good	for	you! The	government	is	turning	a	blind	eye
to	the	evidence	as	well	as	to	the	millions	of	Americans	who	suffer	from
nutrition-related	illnesses. The	covenant	of	trust	between	the	U.S.	government
and	the	American	citizen	has	been	broken. The	United
States	government	is
not	only	failing	to	put	out	our	fires,	it	is	actively	fanning	the	flames.DIETARY	RANGES:	THE	LATEST	ASSAULT
The	Food	and	Nutrition	Board	(FNB),	as	part	of	the	Institute	of	Medicine
(IOM)	of	the	National	Academy	of	Sciences,	has	the	responsibility	every	five
years	or	so	to	review	and	update	the	recommended	consumption	of	individual
nutrients. The	FNB	has	been	making	nutrient	recommendations	since	1943
when	it	established	a	plan	for	the	U.S.	Armed	Forces	wherein	it
recommended	daily	allowances	(RDAs)	for	each	individual	nutrient. In	the	most	recent	FNB	report,
1
	published	in	2002,	nutrient
recommendations	are	presented	as	ranges	instead	of	single	numbers,	as	was
the	practice	until	2002. For	good	health,	we	are	now	advised	to	consume	from
45%	to	65%	of	our	calories	as	carbohydrates. There	are	ranges	for	fat	and
protein	as	well. A	few	quotes	from	the	news	release	announcing	this	massive	900+	page
report	say	it	all. Here	is	the	first	sentence	in	the	news	release
2
:
To	meet	the	body’s	daily	energy	and	nutritional	needs	while
minimizing	risk	for	chronic	disease,	adults	should	get	45%	to	65%	of
their	calories	from	carbohydrates,	20%	to	35%	from	fat	and	10%	to
35%	from	protein…. Further,	we	find:
…	added	sugars	should	comprise	no	more	than	25%	of	total	calories
consumed.…	added	sugars	are	those	incorporated	into	foods	and
beverages	during	production	[and]	major	sources	include	candy,	soft
drinks,	fruit	drinks,	pastries	and	other	sweets. 2
Let’s	take	a	closer	look. What	are	these	recommendations	really	saying? Remember,	the	news	release	starts	off	by	stating	the	report’s	objective	of
“minimizing	risk	for	chronic	disease.”
2
	This	report	says	that	we	can	consume
a	diet	containing	up	to	35%	of	calories	as	fat;	this	is	up	from	the	30%	limit	of
previous	reports. It	also	recommends	that	we	can	consume	up	to	35%	of
calories	as	protein;	this	number	is	far	higher	than	the	suggestion	of	any	other
responsible	authority. The	last	recommendation	puts	the	frosting	on	the	cake,	so	to	speak. We
can	consume	up	to	25%	of	calories	as	added	sugars. Remember,	sugars	are
the	most	refined	type	of	carbohydrates. In	effect,	although
the	report	advises
that	we	need	a	minimum	of	45%	of	calories	as	carbohydrates,	more	than	half
of	this	amount	(i.e.,	25%)	can	be	the	sugars	present	in	candies,	soft	drinks	andpastries. The	critical	assumption	of	this	report	is	this:	the	American	diet	is	not
only	the	best	there	is,	but	you	should	now	feel	free	to	eat	an	even	richer	diet
and	still	be	confident	that	you	are	“minimizing	risk	for	chronic	disease.”
Forget	any	words	of	caution	you	may	find	in	this	report—with	such	a	range	of
possibilities,	virtually	any	diet	can	be	advocated	as	minimizing	disease	risk. You	may	have	trouble	getting	your	mind	around	what	these	figures	mean
in	everyday	terms,	so	I	have	prepared	the	following	menu	plan	that	supplies

Folks,	I’m	not	kidding. This	disastrous	menu	plan	fits	the
recommendations	of	the	report	and	is	supposedly	consistent	with	“minimizing
chronic	disease.”
What’s	amazing	is	that	I	could	put	together	a	variety	of	menus,	all
drenched	in	animal	foods	and	added	sugars,	that	conform	to	these
recommended	daily	allowances. At	this	point	in	the	book,	I	don’t	need	to	tellyou	that	when	we	eat	a	diet	like	this	day	in	and	day	out,	we	will	be	not	just

. A common commercial
method is to soak the seeds in te
pid water for 24 hours and then place them in an incubator held at about 120 degrees F.
for 48 hours or longer. In the home, seeds can be sprouted by
soaking them overnight and placing them in a sterilized
colander or any other sterilized container that has holes for drainage. They are then flooded with lukewarm water three to
six times each day. An ordinary flowerpot may be converted
into a sprouter simply by screening the hole at the bottom. The screen keeps the seeds in the pot and permits all water to
run out, thus assuring good drainage. You can also put your seeds in an ordinary glass casserole. After they are flooded
with water, simply place cover on casserole, and tip so as to
permit water to run from the outlet. Another popular method
for the home is the fruit jar method. The seeds are placed in
the jar, and a piece of cheesecloth is fastened on the top and held in place with a rubber band. If an open screw top is
available, this may simply be turned on the jar, over the
cheesecloth, thus replacing the rubber band. Or for a still
more practical sprouter, a permanent screen may be fastened
over the open screw top. After the seeds are soaked overnight in the jar, simply invert the jar to remove the water. You can
then pour additional water through the cheesecloth three or
more times each day, and remove it by inverting the jar. Between watering the seeds, leave the jar partly inverted to permit continuous drainage of water and entry of air. As a rule, wheat, rye, and barley seeds are preferred when
they have just begun to sprout or when the sprouts are no longer than the seeds; mung bean sprouts are preferred about
one and one-half to three inches long; alfalfa sprouts may be
taken when one to two inches long, while soy bean and pea sprouts are good either long or short. The sprouts are eaten
with the seeds, and they may be taken alone or mixed with
salads and liquefied drinks. Th e sprouted cereal grains are
usually preferred when served with honey and milk or cream as a breakfast cereal. D
RYING AND FREEZING FOODS
   Raw foods are most appropriate for human nourishment
when used in their fresh state. Yet, there is some reason for preparing certain foods by the process of drying. While
refrigeration has been an enormous aid in preserving fresh
foods longer, it has its limitations. Thus the extra supply of
seasonal foods may be preserved by drying in the sun. There
is unquestionably some loss of vitamin C and other nutrients in the drying process, but this is far less damaging than the
chemical changes brought about by heat. Farm animals are
forced to live during winter months on dry feed, and whereas
the
y do not maintain the fine condition of green-fed animals, they are far superior to those given cooked foodstuffs. It may
be added that animal feeding experiments have shown that
sun-dried alfalfa meals are far superior to dehydrated meals,
and we may expect the same to be true of most dried foods. The excessive heat used in artificial dehydration makes the
method less desirable. We are all accustomed to the use of dried apricots, raisins,
and prunes. Yet few people realize the large number of other
foods which lend themselves well to the drying process. Apples, peaches, pears, bananas, raspberries and many other
fruits may be dried in the sun. Sun-dried sweet corn is a delicious food. Meat may be cut into thin slices and dried in
the sun. The early North American Indians were well known
for their sun-drying of foods, and we might well take a few
lessons from their experiences. The Indians cut much of their
buffalo meat into slices one-half inch thick and sun-dried these without the addition of salt or smoke. They made cakes
weighing from fifteen to twenty-five pounds from dried
berries. In civilization we can utilize an even wider variety of
sun-dried foods, and, as with the Indians, we can do so
without the use of salt, smoke, sulphur, and other harmful
preservatives. Along with sun-drying, freezing is a method of giving
variety to the diet and aiding in the storage of extra foods. Nutritive losses in frozen foods are very slight and confined
to the thawing period. However, it cannot be said that frozen
foods are equal in all respects to fresh foods. The commercial
practices of bleaching vegetables, heat-processing fruit juices, and saturating fruits with refined sugar syrup prior to freezing
eliminate these frozen foods from the raw diet. The home
deep-freeze is adapted to storing some foods, but not all foods. All frozen vegetables are inferior in flavor and texture
to fresh vegetables when consum ed in their raw state. Fruits
are much better adapted to the freezing process. Ordinarily,
home-frozen fruits are treated with refined sugar syrup, just
as commercial fruits are, in order to delay enzyme action and thus assure better preservation. But the practice is entirely
unnecessary. All fruits may be frozen with complete
satisfaction without added sugar, the only requirement being
that honey be used as a substitute. Fruits frozen with honey
preserve their original color and flavor every bit as well as those frozen with sugar, and they are far more healthful. Either the whole berries or s liced tree fruits may be frozen,
or, if preferred, the juices may be extracted and frozen. All
foods should be consumed as soon as possible after thawing. In addition to the regular deep-freeze, the refrigerator freezer
 compartment and the ice cream freezer may be used in
preparing certain frozen foods. RECIPES
   With a basic knowledge of the many foods that may be
used in an uncooked diet, as well as some of the techniques of
preparing such foods, you will be in a position to utilize
recipes and menus for your own enjoyment and physical benefit. Here you will find recipes designed for the use of a wide variety of raw foods, as may be available under good conditions in regions favored with the widest production and
marketing of food products. They represent an ideal to work
for as far as the general circumstances permit, but that is all. Don't become disturbed if you cannot obtain all of the foods
mentioned; substitutions can always be made and the dietary
may be adjusted to fit in with the selection of foods you find
available. The fundamental need in utilizing raw foods is to make your
meals as tasty and appetizing as possible. If you apply
imagination and good judgment in the techniques of food preparation, you will find yourself enjoying your foods far
more than you ever did in the past. The food combinations
that may be developed in beverages, dressings, salads, confections, desserts, etc., are almost endless. Hundreds in each category may be devised at will. Here you will find a limited number to start with, and as you proceed to work and
experiment with raw food preparations, you will doubtless
find many new ones which may also suit your individual
taste. V

BEVERAGE COMBINATIONS PREPARED IN THE
ELECTRIC  BLENDER
   The beverages that can be made in the electric blender
number in the thousands. For all beverages you need at least two parts of liquid to one part of solid. Fruits, vegetables, and coconut should be cut into small pieces before blending. Raw nut butters can always be used in place of fresh nuts, and they
will reduce the time required for mixing. If a rather thick
beverage is to be made, it is best to pour in the liquid first and then add the solid ingredients slowly while the mixture is
turning. Many of the beverages may be converted into soups
simply by warming (but not cooking) them over a fire and

 en vironment for the
bacillus coli. So, the process in many respects is aimed at re -establishing the naturally occurring lactobacillus acidophilus. This
bowel condition is the one from which man’s greatest health can be obtained. Maintaining this condition pu ts one upon the path to
healthy and vital living. When I say that we want to re -establish the naturally occurring acidophilus, I mean that the acidophilus is normally established at
birth. Within the mother’s milk is a substance known as colostrum. This s ubstance produces a baby’s first peristaltic action in the
bowel. Being the first nourishment ingested into the system, mother’s milk produces an acid environment in the colon. This oc curs
due to the lactose or milk sugar that reaches the colon. When a mot her breast feeds her baby, she gives it the best possible start in
life and health. The first bacteria to enter the child’s digestive tract will establish itself within a matter of hours from birth. It is
now that a very critical decision has been made tha t will influence the growth of the individual for its life’s duration. If the colon is
found to be acid, promoted by mother’s milk, then the acidophilus will take root and flourish. If the colon is found to be al kaline or
neutral the chances of bacillus co li to flourish are encouraged. The lactose of mother’s milk has the unique quality of being slowly
metabolized by the body. It reaches the colon still intact and provides nourishment for the acidophilus bacteria. Formulas ot her
than mother’s milk deprive t he colon of this food and therefore set the stage for coli inhabitation - the beginning of disease. Ask
around and compare illnesses with those who have been breast fed and those who have not. Even if one is fortunate to have com e
in with this natural bles sing, it is no guarantee that it will stay that way. Defoliation can occur quite easily. Poor dietary habits in
particular cause this destruction of the acidophilus environment. Also, antibiotics will cause great damage. Lactobacillus ba cteria
has a symbio tic relationship with the human body. It is a good boarder and always pays the rent in advance, doing more than its
share. When we properly care for the bowel, we are automatically providing a welcome home for those favorable life -giving
bacteria that are essential to good health. Among other things, they provide very valuable nutritional metabolites for the body to
use in rebuilding and maintaining health. Examples are portions of the vitamin B complex, enzymes and essential amino acids, the
increased and more efficient absorption of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. They are responsible for the synthesis of certain
vitamins. They maintain an antibacillus coli environment. They contribute to good health in many ways we are not scientifical ly
aware of yet. THE VALUE OF LACTIC ACID
Milk, when first secreted from the udder of a healthy cow or other lactating animal, is sterile, but it becomes invaded by ba cteria
almost immediately. Milk is a good medium for breeding bacteria of all kinds, good and bad. Any changes which occur in the milk
after it is secreted are the result of bacterial action converging nutrients into other substances. If bacteria could be prev ented from
contaminating the milk drawn from the udder, it would remain sweet indefinitely; but thi s is an impossibility. John Harvey
Kellogg performed an amazing experiment demonstrating this fact. He immersed a one -pound piece of raw meat, slightly tainted,
in buttermilk. The milk was changed at regular intervals. The meat remained perfectly free of d ecomposition for some 20 years. This demonstrates the efficiency of an acid medium in inhibiting decay producing, putrefactive bacteria. Soured milk is also called
turned, fermented, curdled and clabbered milk. The Bulgarians and Turks called it yogurt; th e Russian calls it Kefir. Among the
essential goods of some Nomadic people is a lump of casein milk curds, wrapped up to prevent its drying. This lump of casein is
put into the milk bag containing the freshly drawn milk and allowed to remain there until th e milk sours. Then the curd ball,
rejuvenated in the process, is returned to its wrapping. Using this process, the Nomad knows his soured milk will not rot nor
putrefy. In this condition, the milk retains its food value until it is used up. In more recen t years, since the studies of Metchnikoff, fermented milk has been in great demand and widely used. It has been
prescribed for better health in general and for a wide range of ailments, particularly those arising from intestinal and meta bolic
disturbances. Metchnikoff is really the father of modern -time fermented milk. He made it popular and as the head of the Pasteur
Institute in Paris stimulated a great deal of scientific study about the remedial value of fermented milk. He was an indefati gable
worker on the subject of longevity. His experiments for attainment of better health and longer life attracted world -wide attention. He maintained that stasis and putrefaction of the bowel shortens life and causes diseases, early senility and premature death  for
whic h he recommended fermented milk as the best neutralizer and antidote. He deduced this from the fact that the Bulgarians,
Turks, Arabs, Jews and others who are addicted to the use of fermented milk as the English are to the afternoon tea, produce more
cente narians than any other nationality, Bulgarians showing 1,500 centenarians out of every million of population. In America,
only nine out of every million reach that age. No doubt the fact that these people use a great deal of fermented milk, and be cause it
contains the very valuable lactic acid and the changed proteins, can be considered as a factor in their longevity. But, lest we forget,
how about their simple fare, simple mode of living, the outdoor life they lead. Are these not just as important, perhaps  more so, as
factors in longevity than just fermented milk. Metchnikoff inferred that their longevity was due solely to the fermented milk. He obtained a microbe which he called Bacillu s
Bulgaricus from the casein ball the Bulgarians used to induce souri ng in freshly drawn milk of their herd, and found it would
indeed induce souring of milk, and very rapidly. He tried to implant this Bulgarian bacillus in the intestinal tract of man, and
thereby induce lactic acid formation, thus eventually to crowd out t he malignant microbe that may be causing putrefaction, but the
experiment was not successful. The Bulgarian bacillus is a milk parasite. Many bacteria produce lactic acid, but relatively f ew
grow well in the alimentary canal. Time, observation and experime ntation have proven that the bacillus bulgaricus is not viable,
which means that when ingested, it does not thrive in the gastro -intestinal tract, but it is digested and destroyed in the stomach and
small intestine and does not reach the large intestine. I t does not get into the colon where it is most needed. The bacillus
bulgaricus, after being ingested, does not appear in the feces when examined. Lactobacillus Bulgaricus preparations have been
omitted because they contain an organism foreign to the intest inal tract of man and incapable of being implanted in the human
intestine. The lactobacillus acidophilus preparations have been retained because this organism is capable of implantation, gr owth
and lactic acid -production in the intestine of man. The presen ce of any bacillus acidi lactici in the feces is the only real proof of
their value as definite remedial agents in colonic disturbances, especially in constipation. Out of the more than one hundred  species
of bacillus acidi lactici, including the bacillus yogurt, streptococcus lacticus, thermophilus, lactobacillus adondolyticus, Boas
Oppler bacillus, lactobacillus lopersici, etc., none thrive or can be implanted in the large intestine, other than the lactob acillus
acidophilus. Rahe made a critical investig ation,of the implantation of L. bulgaricus. His work tends to show that although L. bulgaricus milk is
ingested, it disappears very soon after ingestion has stopped. This investigator also points out a very significant fact - that the
difference between L. bulgaricus and certain acid -forming bacteria, which are known to occur normally in the intestines, is so
slight that they can be distinguished only with difficulty. He suggests that the belief on the part of some investigators tha t L. bulgaricus becomes established in the intestines was caused by their inability to distinguish between these two types. The only
bacillus acidi lactici that can thrive and can be implanted into the adult large intestine is the lactobacillus acidophilus. Lactobacillus acidophi lus belongs to the aciduric lactobacillus group which is widely distributed in nature. This group of bacteria
contains many varieties of related organisms. Lactobacillus acidophilus and lactobacillus bifidus are found in the gastro -intestinal
tract of man and animals. Lactobacillus bulgaricus usually occurs in the intestinal contents of cattle. It is frequently present in dairy
products, contaminated with fecal material from

There are two actual outlooks on the world possessed by every man, and
the ancient story tellers were fully conscious of these two outlooks. They
called one “the carnal mind,” and the other “the mind of Christ.”
We recognize these two centers of thought in the statement: “The natural
man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness
unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually dis -
cerned.” (1 Cor 2:14). To the natural mind, reality is confined to the instant called now; this very
moment seems to contain the whole of reality, everything else is unreal. The the natural mind, the past and the future are purely imaginary. In
other words my past, when I use the natural mind, is only a memory im -
age of things that were. And to the limited focus of the carnal or natural
mind the future does not exist. The natural mind does not believe that it
could revisit the past and see it as something that is present, something
that is objective and concrete to itself, neither does it believe that the fu -
ture exists. To the Christ mind, the spiritual mind, which in our language we will call
the fourth-dimensional focus, the past, the present, and the future of the
natural mind are a present whole. It takes in the entire array of sensory
impressions that man has encountered, is encountering and will en -
counter. The only reason you and I are functioning as we are today, and are not
aware of the greater outlook, is simply because we are creatures of habit,
and habit renders us totally blind to what otherwise we should see; but
habit is not law. It acts as though it were the most compelling force in the
world, yet it is not law. We can create a new approach to life. If you and I would spend a few
minutes every day in withdrawing our attention from the region of sensa -
tion and concentrating it on an invisible state and remain faithful to this
contemplation, feeling and sensing the reality of an invisible state, we
would in time become aware of this greater world, this dimensionally larg -
er world. The state contemplated is now a concrete reality, displaced in
time. Tonight as we turn to our Bible you be the judge as to where you stand in
your present unfoldment. *****
Our first story for tonight is from the 5th chapter of the Gospel of Mark. In
More Free Books Law of Attraction Haventhis chapter there are three stories told as though they were separate ex -
periences of the dominant characters. In the first story we are told that Jesus came upon an insane man, a
naked man who lived in the cemetery and hid himself behind the tombs. This man appealed to Jesus not to cast out the devils that bedeviled him. But Jesus said unto him, “Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.”
(Mark 5:8). Thus Jesus cast out the devils that they may now destroy themselves,
and we find this man, for the first time, clothed and in his right mind and
seated at the feet of the Master. We will get the psychological sense of
this chapter by changing the name Jesus to that of enlightened reason or
fourth-dimensional thinking. As we progress in this chapter we are told that Jesus now comes upon the
High Priest whose name is Jairus, and Jairus the High Priest of the Syna -
gogue has a child who is dying. She is 12 years old, and he appeals to Je -
sus to come and heal the child. Jesus consents, and as he starts toward the home of the High Priest a
woman in the market place touched his garment. “And Jesus, immediately
knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned about in the
press and said, Who touched my clothes?” (Mark 5:30). The woman who was healed of an issue of blood that she had had for 12
years confessed that she had touched him. “And he said unto her, Daugh -
ter, Thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.” (Mark 5:34). As he continues toward the home of the High Priest he is told that the
chld is dead and there is no need to go to resurrect her. She is no longer
asleep, but is now dead. “As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler
of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.” (Mark 5:36). “And when he was come in, he saith unto them. Why make ye this ado,
and weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleepth.” (Mark 5:39). With this the entire crowd mocked and laughed, but Jesus, closing the
doors against the mocking crowd, took with him into the household of
Jairus, his disciples and the father and mother of the dead child. They entered into the room where the damsel was lying. “And he took the
damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.”
(Mark 5:41). More Free Books Law of Attraction Haven“From this deep sleep she awoke and arose and walked, and the High
Priest and all the others were astonished. And he changed them straightly
that no man should know it; and he commanded that something should
be given her to eat.” (Mark 5:43). You are this very night, as you are seated here, pictured in this 5th chap -
ter of Mark. A cemetery is for one purpose: it is simply a record of the
dead. Are you living in the dead past? If you are living among the dead, your prejudices, your superstitions, and
your false beliefs that you keep alive are the tombstones behind which
you hide. If you refuse to let them go you are just as mad as the mad
man of the Bible who pleaded with enlightened reason not to cast them
out. There is no difference. But enlightened reason is incapable of protect -
ing prejudice and superstition against the inroads of reason. There is not a man in this world who has a prejudice, regardless of the
nature of the prejudice, who can hold it up to the light of reason. Tell me
you are against a certain nation, a certain race, a certain “ism,” a certain
anything – I do not care what it is – you cannot expose that belief of
yours to the light of reason and have it live. In order that it may be kept
alive in your world you must hide it from reason. You cannot analyze it in
the light of reason and have it live. When this fourth-dimensional focus
comes and shows you a new approach to life and casts out of your own
mind all these things that bedeviled you, you are then cleansed and
clothed in your right mind. And you sit at the foot of understanding, called
the feet of the Master. Now clothed and in your right mind you can resurrect the dead. What
dead? The child in the story is not a child. The child is your ambition, your
desire, the unfulfilled dreams of your heart. This is the child housed within
the mind of man. For as I have stated before, the entire drama of the
Bible is a psychological one. The Bible has no reference at all to any per -
son who ever existed, or any event that ever occurred upon earth. All the
stories of the Bible unfold in the minds of the individual man. In this story Jesus is the awakened intellect of man. When your mind
functions outside of the range of your present senses, when your mind is
healed of all the former limitations, then you are no longer the insane
man; but you are this presence personified as Jesus, the power that can
resurrect the longings of the heart of man. You are now the woman with the issue of blood. What is this issue of
blood? A running womb is not a productive womb. She held it for 12
years, she was incapable of conceiving. She could not give form to her
longing because of the running of the issue of blood. You are told her faith
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenclosed it. As the womb closes it can give form to the seed or idea. As your mind is cleansed of your former concept of self, you assume you
are what you want to be, and remaining faithful to this assumption, you
give form to your assumption or resurrect your child. You are the woman
cleansed of the issue of blood, and you move towards the house of the
dead child. The child or state you desired is now your fixed concept of yourself. But
now having assumed that I am what formerly I desired to be, I cannot
continue desiring what I am conscious of being. So I do not discuss it. I
talk to no one concerning what I am. It is so obvious to me that I am
what I wanted to be that I walk as though I were. Walking as though I am what I formerly wanted to be, my world of limited
focus does not see it and thinks I no longer desire it. The child is dead
within their world; but I, who know the law, say, “The child is not dead.”
The damsel is not dead, she but sleepeth. I now awaken her, I by my as -
sumption, awaken and make visible in my world what I assume, for as


period of five years. And then I ended up in California and
bought this house, renovated it for a year, and then had all
the stuff brought from my farmer home five years earlier. One
morning my son Keenan came into my office, and one of the
boxes that was sealed for five years was right at the doorstep. He asked, "What's in the boxes, Daddy?" And I said, "Those
are my Vision Boards/' He then asked, "What's a Vision
Board?" I said, "Well, it's where I put alt my goals up. I cut
them out and I put all my goals up as something that I want
to achieve in my life." Of course at five and a half years old
he didn't understand, and so I said, "Sweetheart, let me just
show you, that'll be the easiest way to do it." I cut the box open, and on one Vision Board was a picture
of a home that I was visualizing five years earlier. What was
shocking was that we were living in that house. Not a house
like it—I actually bought my dream home, renovated it, and
didn't even know it. I looked at that house and I started to
cry, because I was just blown away. Keenan asked, "Why are
you crying?" "I finally understand how the law of attraction Powerful Processes 91
works. I finally understand the power of visualization. I
finally understand everything that I've read, everything that
I've worked with my whole life, the way I've built companies. It worked for my home as well, and I bought our dream home
and didn 't even know it." "Imagination is everything. It is the preview of
life's coming attractions." You can let your imagination go wild with a Vision Board, and
place pictures of all the things you want, and pictures of how you
want your life to be. Make sure you put the Vision Board in a place
where you see it and look at it every day as John Assaraf did. Feel
the feelings of having those things now. As you receive, and feel
gratitude for receiving, you can remove pictures and add new
ones. This is a wonderful way to introduce children to the law of
attraction. I hope the creation of a Vision Board inspires parents
and teachers worldwide. One of the people on The Secret website Forum put a picture of
The Secret DVD on his Vision Board. He had seen The Secret but
didn't own his own copy. Two days after he created his Vision
Board, I felt inspired to post a notice on The Secret Forum giving
away DVDs to the first ten people who posted. He was one of the
ten! He had received a copy of The Secret DVD within two days of
putting it on his Vision Board. Whether it is a DVD of The Secret or
a house, the joy of creating and receiving is magnificent! 92 The Secret
Another powerful example of visualizing comes from my moth-
er's experience of buying a new house. Several people besides
my mother had put in offers for this particular house. My mother
decided to use The Secret to make that house hers. She sat down
and wrote her name and the new address of the house over and
over. She continued doing this until it felt as though it was her ad-
dress. She then imagined placing all of her furniture in that new
house. Within hours of doing these things, she received a phone
call saying her offer had been accepted. She was so thrilled, but it
didn't come as a surprise to her because she knew that house was
hers. What a champion! JACK CAN FIELD
Decide what you want. Believe you can have it. Believe you
deserve it and believe it's possible for you. And then close
your eyes every day for several minutes, and visualize having
what you already want, feeling the feelings of already having
it. Come out of that and focus on what you're grateful for
already, and really enjoy it. Then go into your day and release
it to the Universe and trust that the Universe will figure out
how to manifest it. Expectation is a powerful attractive force. Expect the things you
want, and don't expect the things you don't want. Gratitude is a powerful process for shifting your energy and bring-
ing more of what you want into your life. Be grateful for what you
already have, and you will attract more good things. Giving thanks for what you want in advance turbo-charges your
desires and sends a more powerful signal out into the Universe. Visualization is the process of creating pictures in your mind of
yourself enjoying what you want. When you visualize, you gener-
ate powerful thoughts and feelings of having it now. The law of at-
traction then returns that reality to you, just as you saw it in your
mind. To use the law of attraction to your advantage, make it a habitual
way of being, not just a one-time event. At the end of every day, before you go to sleep, go back through the
events of the day. Any events or moments that were not what you
wanted, replay them in your mind the way you wanted them to go. 93 "Whatever the mind... can conceive it can
achieve." JACK CANFIELD
The Secret was a real transformation for me, because I grew
up with a very negative father who thought that rich people
were people that had ripped everyone off and thought that
anyone that had money must have deceived somebody. So I
grew up with a lot of beliefs about money; that if you had it,
it made you bad, only evil people have money, and money
doesn't grow on trees. "Who do you think I am, Rockefeller?' That was one of his favorite phrases. So I grew up truly
believing that life was difficult. It was only when I met W.
Clement Stone that I began to shift my life. 95 96 The Secret
When I was working with Stone he said, "I want you to set a
goal that's so big that if you achieved it, it would blow your
mind, and you would knew it's only because of what I've
taught you that you would have achieved this goal" At the
time I was making about eight thousand dollars a year, so I
said, "I want to make a hundred thousand dollars in a year." Now, I had no idea how I could do that. I saw no strategy,
no possibility, but I just said, "I'm going to declare that, I'm
going to believe it, I'm going to act as if it's true, and release
it" So I did that. One of the things he taught me was every day to close your
eyes and visualize the goals as if it's already achieved. I had
actually made a hundred-thousand-dollar bill that I'd put on
the ceiling. So first thing in the morning I'd look up and there
it was, and it would remind me that this was my intention. Then I would close my eyes and visualize having this hundred-
thousand-dollar-a-year lifestyle. Interestingly enough, nothing
major happened for about thirty days. I didn't have any great
breakthrough ideas, no one was offering me more money. About four weeks into it, I had a hundred-thousand-dollar
idea. It just came right into my head. I had a book I had
written, and I said, "If I can sell four hundred thousand
copies of my book at a quarter each, that'd be a hundred
thousand dollars." Now, the book was there, but I never had
this thought. (One of The Secrets is that when you have an
inspired thought, you have to trust it and act on it.) I didn't
know how I was going to sell four hundred thousand copies. The Secret to Money
Then I saw the National Enquirer at the supermarket. I had
seen that millions of times and it was just background. And
all of a sudden it jumped out at me as foreground. I thought,
"If readers knew about my book, certainly four hundred
thousand people would go out and buy it." About six weeks later I gave a talk at Hunter College in
New York to six hundred teachers, and afterward a woman
approached me and said, "That was a great talk. I want to
interview you. Let me give you my card." As it turns out, she
was a freelance writer who sold her stories to the National
Enquirer. The theme from "The Twilight Zone" went off in
my head, like, whoah, this stuff's really working. That article
came out and our book sales started to take off. The point I want to make is that I was attracting into my life
all these different events, including this person. To make a
long story short, I did not make a hundred thousand dollars
that year. We made ninety-two thousand three hundred and
twenty-seven dollars. But do you think we were depressed and
saying, "This doesn't work"? No, we were saying, "This is
amazing!" So my wife said to me, "If it works for a hundred
thousand, do you think it'd work for a million?" And I said,
"I don't know, I think so. Let's try it." My publisher wrote me a royalty check for our first Chicken
Soup for the Soul book. And he actually put a smiley face in
his signature, because it was the first million-dollar check he'd
ever written. 98 The Secret
So I know from my own experience


 adequate for them to develop
and maintain their racial pattern. The Fiji Island group lies between 15 and 22 degrees south latitude and between 177 degrees
west and 175 degrees east longitude, thus straddling the international date line. The Fiji Islanders
are similar in physical development and appearance to the New Caledonians, and like them are
largely, if not wholly, Melanesian in racial origin. The men have kinky hair and broad shoulders. In
the past, they have been excellent warriors. They are not as tall as their hereditary enemies, the
Tongans, to the east, and in order to make themselves look equally tall, they have adopted the
practice of training their kinky hair straight out from the head to a height often reaching six or more
inches. Typical facial and dental arch forms are shown in Fig. 29. They are British subjects, and
where they have had supervision, in the districts near the ports and on those islands on which sugar
plantations have been established, they have suffered very greatly from the degenerative diseases. 7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 70/250FIG. 29. The development of the facial bones determines the
size and shape of the palate and the size of the nasal air
passages. Note the strength of the neck of the men above
and the well proportioned faces of the girls below. Such
faces are usually associated with properly proportioned
bodies. Tooth decay is rare in these mouths so long as they
use an adequate selection of the native foods. Since Viti Levu, one of the islands of this group, is one of the larger islands of the Pacific Ocean,
I had hoped to find on it a district far enough from the sea to make it necessary for the natives to
have lived entirely on land foods. Accordingly, with the assistance of the government officials and
by using a recently opened government road I was able to get well into the interior of the island by
motor vehicle, and from this point to proceed farther inland on foot with two guides. I was not
able, however, to get beyond the piles of sea shells which had been carried into the interior. My
guide told me that it had always been essential, as it is today, for the people of the interior to obtain
some food from the sea, and that even during the times of most bitter warfare between the inland
or hill tribes and the coast tribes, those of the interior would bring down during the night choice
plant foods from the mountain areas and place them in caches and return the following night and
obtain the sea foods that had been placed in those depositories by the shore tribes. The individuals
who carried these foods were never molested, not even during active warfare. He told me further
that they require food from the sea at least every three months, even to this day. This was a matter
of keen interest, and at the same time disappointment since one of the purposes of the expedition
to the South Seas was to find, if possible, plants or fruits which together, without the use of animal
products, were capable of providing all of the requirements of the body for growth and for
maintenance of good health and a high state of physical efficiency. Among the sources of animal
foods was the wild pig from the bush. These were not native, but imported into nearly all of the
islands, and they have become wild where there is an abundance of food for them. Another animal
food was that from coconut crabs which grow to a weight of several pounds. At certain seasons of
the year the crabs migrate to the sea in great numbers from the mountains and interior country. They spend about three days in the sea for part of their reproductive program and return later to
their mountain habitats. Their routes of travel are as nearly as possible in straight lines. At the
season of migration, large numbers of the crabs are captured for food. These crabs rob the
coconut trees of fruit. They climb the trees during the darkness and return to the ground before the
dawn. They cut off the coconuts and allow them to drop to the ground. When the natives hear
coconuts dropping in the night they put a girdle of grass around the tree fifteen or twenty feet from
the ground, and when the crabs back down and touch the grass they think that they are down on
the ground, let go their hold and are stunned by the fall. The natives then collect the crabs and put
them in a pen where they are fed on shredded coconut. In two weeks' time the crabs are so fat
that they burst their shells. They are then very delicious eating. Fresh water fish of various kinds are
used where available from the mountain streams. Land animal foods, however, are not abundant in
the mountainous interior, and no places were found where the native plant foods were not
supplemented by sea foods. Our first visit to the Fiji Islands was in 1934, and the second in 1936. On our first trip we had
much personal assistance from Ratu Popi, hereditary king. His residence was on the royal island
reserved exclusively for the king and his retinue. His picture is shown in Fig. 30 with that of Mrs.
Price. He was very solicitous for the welfare of his people whom he recognized to be rapidly
breaking down with modernization. The council house is also shown in Fig. 30. He gave us very
important information regarding the origin of cannibalism, relating it to a recognition of special food
values of special organs, particularly the livers.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

shows the typical form of native architecture; no nails or
bolts are used. It is located on the King's Island Mbau. The
hereditary monarch, Ratu Popi is seen with Mrs. Price. Note
his splendid features. Beneath his coat he wears a native
skirt and is barefooted. There has been a very extensive development of sugar plantations on the larger islands of
several of the Pacific archipelagos. The working of these plantations has required the importation
of large numbers of indentured laborers. These have been brought chiefly from India and China. Since they are nearly all men, those who have married have obtained their wives from among the
natives. This, the Chinese have done quite frequently. Since they are excellent workers they
provide good homes and are good business men. They are, in many districts, rapidly becoming the
landowners and are men of influence. This influx of Asiatics, together with that of Europeans, has
had an important influence upon the purity of the native race around the ports and provided an
opportunity to study the effect of intermingling of races upon the susceptibility to dental caries. No
differences in extent of tooth decay due to ancestry were disclosed. The incidence of dental caries
at the points of contact with imported foods was 30.1 per cent of teeth examined as compared
with 0.42 for the more isolated groups living on the native foods of land and sea. The physical changes which were found associated with the use of the imported foods included
the loss of immunity to dental caries in practically all of the individuals who had displaced their
native foods very largely with the modern foods. Dental caries was much worse, however, in the
growing children and motherhood group due to the special demands of these individuals. These
conditions are illustrated in Figs. 31 and 32. The boy shown in Fig. 32 (upper, left) typifies the
suffering brought by modernization. Abscessed teeth often cause suicide.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 72/250FIG. 31. These natives of the Fiji Islands illustrate the effect
of changing from the native food to the imported foods of
commerce. Tooth decay becomes rampant and with it is lost
the ability to properly masticate the food. Growing children
and child bearing mothers suffer most severely from dental
caries. 7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 73/250FIG. 32. No dentists or physicians are available on most of
these islands. Toothache is the only cause of suicide. The
new generation born after the parents adopt the imported
modern foods often have a change in the shape of the face
and dental arches. The teeth are crowded as shown below. Another important phase of the studies included a critical examination of the facial form and
shape of the dental arches which include very definite and typical changes represented by the
narrowing of the features and the lengthening of the face with crowding of the teeth in the arch. These are illustrated in the lower half of Fig. 32. The members of the Melanesian race living on the Fiji Islands of the Pacific, whether volcanic or
coral in origin, have developed a very high immunity to dental caries and well formed faces and
dental arches. Their native foods consisted of animal life from the sea eaten with plants and fruits
from the land in accordance with a definite program of food selection. In their primitive state only
0.42 per cent of their teeth were attacked by tooth decay. In the modernized groups this incidence
increased to 30.1 per cent. The change in the nutrition included a marked reduction in the native
foods and


ively. There is no reason why future plans to put recording
instruments into space should not include adequate measures of
field properties of the space through which the instruments pass. This, of course, would require highly-sophisticated instrumenta
tion, very large sums of money and many studies. But the evidence outlined above-while only a drop in the
105 ANTENNAE TO THE UNI VERSE
bucket-nevertheless is highly exciting and interesting and gives
us a clue to a hitherto-undrea med-of factor in the properties of
the material Universe and of all living systems which exist with
in it. It may take many lifetimes, however, to come up with an
answer which has genuine validity. It can be argued that this is an extrapolation beyond the evid
ence. This is admitted. But these field properties are not mysteri
ous phenomena; they are measurable characteristics not only of
the Universe but of the immediate environm ent of the earth. Moreover, the evidence collected during the several decades of
study indicates that the behaviour, in particular, of living sys
tems is a consequence of the pattern of organization. And the
arrangement of the charged particles in living systems is a con
sequence of the inherent electro-dynamic field. These phenomena can be measured; and whether or not it is
felt that the extrapolation suggested is beyond the evidence, there
can be no question about the validity of the measurements. These have been checked over and over again, subjected to care
ful and critical mathematical analysis. * The present analysis
would seem to suggest that we are dealing with valid, measurable
interrelationships between the electrical properties of a living
system, of all living systems, and the field of electrical environ
ment in which they exist. It has been the habit, in the past, to assume that a living
system's behaviour is, in part, the consequence of chemical flux
of the tissue of which living systems are made. However, the
chemical flux is a widely and rapidly changing set of phenomena
and yet throughout all these studies the constancy of the electri
cal phenomena is so great that they must be an evidence of some
constancy in the growth and development of living systems. It is as' though there were in every living system some guiding
factor which not only makes the acorn grow into the oak tree
but also induces a characteristic pattern of organization, of which

the physiological functional activities are known as behaviour. To be sure the chemistry is of great importance, because this
is the gasoline that makes the buggy go, but the chemistry of a
living system does not determ ine the functional properties of a
living system any more than changing the gas makes a Rolls
Royce out of a Ford. The chemistry provides the energy, but the
electrical phenomena of the electro-dynamic field determine the
direction in which energy flows within the living system. There
fore they are of prime importanc e in understanding the growth
and development of all living things. 7
It must be remembered that this was an adventure into one
of the frontiers of modern science. There have been, over the
years, two major classical theories of modern science. One is best
described as particle physics, where attention was paid to the
unitary elements involved in any system under observation. The
other can be subsumed under the general heading of field
physics. This was clearly enunciated many years ago by Clark Maxwell
who, in his initial paper on electro-magnetic theory, noted that
whereas particle physics was concerned with unitary elements
or with what the Greeks called atoms, he called attention to the
fact that the relationships of the entities were quite as important
as the entities themselves. As noted earlier, this was one of the reasons why we set out
decades ago to see if by using methods of modern electrical
measurement, we could examine these relationships as profitably
as a study of the component parts themselves. One of the key problems of modern science is that of organiza
tion or of that design of living systems which make it possible
for us to define things in space and to describe the discernible
pa tterns to be seen in the world around us. We are all familiar, of
course, with the fact that descriptive science over the centuries
has concerned itself primarily with little more than the straight
description of the observable things on the face of the earth and,
107 ANTENNAE TO THE UNI VERSE
to some extent, in the heavens. Any descrip tion of these things
in the world around us would not be possible if they were con
stantly changing their patterns. Aristotle, moreover, called attention to the fact that an acorn
always grew into an oak tree and not into a fig tree. This, of
course, is the key biological problem. In other words, what is the
nature of the forces which guide the growth and development of
an acorn so that it ends up as a tree and not as a horse? These
forces not only guide the growth of an acorn to an oak tree, but
also determine the uniquene ss of any particular oak tree. Since this demands forces which operate in time and also show
an astonishing constancy in spite of the chemical flux of metabol
ism, these must be studied from two points of view. One, of
course, is to describe or define the chemical components of the
biological system. Great strides have been made in the analysis
of the chemistry of protoplasm and its constituent parts, but the
rather extraordinary thing about it is that, fundamentally, there
are only four chemical substances involved in protoplasm
carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen. To be sure, there are
additional trace elements in any chemical analysis of protopl asm,
but the fact remains that these four relatively simple chemical
substances can be arranged in incredibly complex sets of re
lationships. Relationships must be the result of forces operating between
the chemical constituents. These forces determine the position
of these chemicals and their motion or movement in the process
of growth and developm ent. They eventually exhibit perhaps one
of the most extraordinary aspects of this problem: they give
some kind of directive. They are not just haphazard interactions between the com
ponent entities but forces which apparently are involved in a
directional control of growth and developm ent. In other words,
the forces have vector properties. They not only control the interrelationships between the
entities but they also control the direction in which the whole
living system progresses. Among the aspects of nature capable
of introducing direction are electrical properties-electro-mag
netic, electro-dynamic, electro-static. With these, there is always
108 ANTENNAE TO THE UNI VERSE
a direction in which the particles move. The motion is always
between one pole and another of the environment. This polar property and the control of the motion between
the component parts can best be examined by electrical measure
ments. If, then, the observed electrical properties of protoplasm
can give us a clue to the nature of the forces which impose organ
ization on living systems- and, quite probably, on non-living
systems-then a long-term study should offer at least some tenta
tive conclusions regarding the interrelationships between the
electrical properties of the living system, on the one hand, and
of the environment, on the other. * * *
That was the reasoning which originally prompted us to em
bark on continuous studies which occupied three decades. It is
submitted that the exciting results obtained from our 'antennae
to the Universe' fully justified not only the initial assumption
but also this particular aspect of this adventure in science. 109 CHAP TER SEVEN
The Continui ng Adventure
1
Though this adventure in science has occupied more than forty
years, we have merely reached 'the end of the beginning', in Sir
Winston Churchill's phrase. Each thing we have discovered in
our long quest has shown us how much more remains to be dis
covered about the fields of life. Nobody has recorded the feelings of the ancient Vikings when
-after a long and arduous voyage-they came to the North
American Continent. But, as they skirted a seemingly-endless
coastline, it is safe to assume that their uppermost thought must
have been that even greater adventures awaited those who one
day would explore the vast territory they had found. Similarly, the landfall we have made-for which we could
only hope when first we set sail-gives promise of a vast area of
virgin territory to be opened up by the scientists of the future. For if-as all the evidence has indicated-the fields of life are
primary and control all living things we can set no limits to the
scope they offer for further exploration. As the scientists of the future acquire a more comprehensive
knowledge of L-fields, they will gain a greater understanding not
only of man's body, mind and behaviour and of the workings of
all living things but also of the relationship between the fields of
life and the greater fields and forces of the Universe. As astro

Masses one should address the cause of one's cancer — that is, the failure of the
pancreas. As outlined in Chapter I, metabolically supporting one's failing pancreas is
absolutely necessary to properly address one's cancer and to help prevent the
reoccurrence of additional Malignant Placenta Tumor Masses. 37

Invest in Avoiding Cancer
For those who choose to remain healthy is the smart way to go. Protecting your
investment, your own body, is the intelligent procedure to best ensure that you never
receive a diagnosis of "cancer".<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: What is the approach taken by most oncologists in treating patients?,
A: Most oncologists treat the most aggressive class of cancer first, which often resolves the other classes as well.
Q: What is the key to Dr. Kelley's Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program?,
A: The key to Dr. Kelley's program is to metabolically support the failing pancreas, not just the disease.
Q: According to Dr. Kelley, what is the primary cause of cancer?,
A: According to Dr. Kelley, the primary cause of cancer is the failure of the pancreas.
Q: What is the recommended way to prepare eggs for consumption by cancer patients?,
A: The recommended way to prepare eggs is to heat them to 140-160°F (as hot as hot tap water) for five minutes before cracking them open.
Q: What is the importance of raw liver in Dr. Kelley's program?,
A: Dr. Kelley emphasizes the importance of raw liver in his program, stating that it is a wonderful energy food and essential for the rebuilding of the body.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Measure equal weight of these organic foods:

A. 1/3 cup porridge - I  prefer whole but it may be ground in a seed mill
B. Add 1  1/3 cup boiling water. Stir well. C. Let soak at room temperature during the day. D. 2 to 3 hours before evening meal heat in a double boiler (or on low in a pot) at
low temperature until consistency of oatmeal**
E. For evening meal one should add fresh or frozen berries or fruit. Options
1). Today I  added 4 tablespoons of frozen pineapple juice concentrate, 1/2 cup of
frozen blackberries, butter and 1/4 cup heavy cream. 2). Yesterday I  added frozen raspberries, frozen grape juice concentrate, butter and
heavy cream. 3). Tomorrow I  w ill add frozen strawberries, frozen orange juice concentrate, butter
and heavy cream. 4). The objective of this procedure is to obtain as many trace minerals from as many
different sources as possible. F. Sweeten with honey or frozen concentrated fruit juice to taste. G. Add yogurt if desired. H. One should alternate daily the berries, fruit and fruit juice concentrate. a wide
variety assures a complete source of trace minerals. I. The next morning prepare the evening multigrain portage
WARNING: The multi-grain cereal is an all important part of my program. In the past,
I  have provided the organic multi-grain cereal to you but I  can no longer provide this
service. You can however purchase as many organic grains available from your bulk
grain department of your health food store and mix equal parts by weight. All non-organic grains, are "DUSTED" and stored with anti-mold, anti-fungal and
other deadly shelf-life extenders. One should make every effort to get organic grains. Dr. Kelley uses Diatomaceous Earth which is excellent for storage. The commonly
used, Thimerosal, is a mercury compound that w ill kill you. It is made by Eli Lilly and

Co, and is used in vaccinations and prescription drugs. Since you are spending your
hard earned money to buy my enzyme formulas, make sure your multi-grains are free
of Enzyme Inhibitors.'Dr. Kelley
Phase IV
Flax Seed Oil
Take two tablespoons per day of unrefined, fresh flaxseed oil for the first month of
Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program, and one tablespoon per day from the
second month of the program to completion. (Formula F  provides Essential Fatty
Acids — Essential Fatty Acids must be provided in the diet, as the human body
cannot make them.) Johanna Budwig, a German researcher, did the lion's share of the early work on
flax oil and its therapeutic uses in the early 1950s. Blood samples from healthy and
sick people were systematically analyzed, and the findings tabulated. According to
her, blood samples from people with cancer, diabetes, and some kinds of liver
disease consistently lacked Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). She claims that blood from
people with other diseases did not show this severe deficiency and that healthy
people's blood always contained EFAs. If cancer is a deficiency disease brought on by
lack of EFAs, she reasoned, a diet high in EFAs should alleviate at least some of the
cancer patients' problems. Unrefined Flaxseed oil, in practice, inhibits tumor growth and is useful in the
natural treatment of cancer. EFAs, from refined oil, on the other hand, help promote
tumor growth (due to trans-fats present in all American commercial vegetable oil). All
oils except unrefined, fresh olive and flaxseed oil are forbidden on Metabolic
Medicine's Cancer Cure Diet. Note: Fat that has not been heated above 96° F. in the form of unsalted raw butter,
raw eggs, raw cream, the fat in and on raw meats, no-salt-added raw cheeses,
avocados, fresh coconut and stone-pressed olive oil is acceptable on Metabolic
Medicine's Cancer Cure Diet. These fats are the easiest to digest, assimilate, and
utilize and aid the body in binding with toxins and carrying them to the bowels and
out of the body. Golden Rule of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Diet
The Golden Rule of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Diet is: "Take nothing into
77
Winning The Cancer War
the body that has been cooked or processed except items mentioned." Eat no
"Processed" food for the first six months of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure
Program. The juicer is the most important appliance in the kitchen of a cancer patient. If
necessary sell the stove and buy a good juicer. The enzymes in foods that have been cooked have been destroyed or changed into
a different compound (amino acid). Cooked food can only be used as food and not as
enzymes, for it has no life. For example, if you plant a raw potato it w ill grow. If you
boil a potato and plant it, it w ill not grow it will rot. Many enzymes are destroyed at
107° F. and almost all are destroyed at 140° F. When a person eats anything processed he or she is not only eating "dead food"
(those in which the enzymes have been destroyed), but he or she is adding a second
very destructive force to his body, the destructive force of food preservatives. This
may not be too significant for a normal healthy person, but for the cancer patient it
may mean life or death. The liver must detoxify, destroy, or metabolize all foreign
substances from the body. When one eats foods with preservatives, it adds an extra
burden upon the liver, which the cancer patient cannot accept. Milk
The cancer patient must give up pasteurized cows' milk forever, except in the form
of raw (unpasteurized), homemade yogurt, and for a while must avoid raw milk too,
except raw (unpasteurized) goats' milk. Cows' milk, like meat, has too high a protein
content and pasteurization compounds the problem as it alters or mutates the protein. Pasteurized cows' milk requires too many pancreatic enzymes for digestion. Also, an animal cannot produce milk unless the female sex hormones are present
in extra large quantities; this causes too many hormones in milk for the person who
has cancer. But if raw goats' milk is available, it is advisable to take 4 to 8 ounces of raw
(unpasteurized), homemade goats' milk (goats' milk is similar to humans' milk) yogurt
each morning for breakfast. This will supply the intestines with adequate helpful
bacteria. This is acceptable because the yogurt bacteria predigest the milk protein
when added to it. After following this diet for 9 to 12 months and if raw goats' or cows' milk is
available. 9 to 12 ounces per day may be taken at any time during the day. 72
