 your glands healthy, as these are the regulators of most of
your bodily functions.
TESTES/TESTICLES (GONADS)

A male has two oval-shaped testicles located in the scrotum. These are the
male reproductive glands and are a part of the endocrine gland system.
Reproductive cells called spermatozoa are produced in the testes. These
glands also produce testosterone and inhibin.
Testosterone is secreted by the interstitial cells called “Cells of Leydig,”
and inhibin is secreted by the sustentacular cells. It should be said here that
testosterone (steroid) is like estrogen in its aggressive nature in creating
cellular changes. Progesterone is a cortical-type steroid produced in the
adrenal glands that
counterbalances estrogen and testosterone, especially
when they create inflammation. Testosterone is also produced in the cortex of
the adrenal glands of both males and females.
Testosterone accelerates growth and cellular function, as well as
stimulates the flow of blood. It has similar characteristics to estrogen in
affecting secondary sexual characteristics. It also affects:
erections
proper growth and development of male sexual organs
deepening of the voice
greater muscle development
development of pubic, facial and excess body hairdistribution of fat
many metabolic relationships
Summary: The Endocrine Glandular System

AH of the endocrine glands are vital to the health and well-being of the
physical body. It is enough to say that every tissue in your body interacts
with every other tissue. This is why we should look at the body as a whole
entity, working as one for the well-being of itself. All that it does is for self-
survival.
Study and learn about the functions of your endocrine glands. This will
help you a great deal. We must learn the ways and secrets of this incredible,
conscious machine that can perform like a new car if kept clean and fed
properly with the correct building materials and fuels. Look to nature for
your answers, not science. Use science to try to fill in what pieces of
information you might need to understand how things work.
However, always step back and try to get a picture of your body as a
whole and how it would function in nature. There is an old saying that
exemplifies this: “Sometimes you can’t see the forest for the trees.” If you’re
always looking at the trees, you sometimes miss the beautiful forest. The
whole is far greater than its parts (and yet, its parts make up the whole). That
is to say, forget what you think you know about health and observe nature
and how it works. You will learn a lot more about the truth of things,
especially on how to get healthy.
As previously noted, 75 percent of all diseases have an endocrine gland
involvement. Through generations of toxic and acid food consumption we
have weakened our glandular system to the point of atrophy in many cases.
Most humans do not think of strengthening their cells, so they keep
passing down genetically weakened tissue generation after generation. The
problem here is that each generation is weaker than the last. Look around and
observe the conditions of our children. They’re coming into this world with
chronic and degenerative glandular weaknesses. No medicine on earth can
stop this. Health is the only answer!
As previously stated, your glands are the bosses (or controllers and
regulators) of the cells, tissues and organs of the body. When they become
hyper- (over) active or hypo- (under) active, it can create many cellularchanges. This can have a highly acidic effect upon tissues, leading to
lymphatic and immune responses. This is especially true with estrogen,
testosterone and aldosterone. Long-term exposure without cortisone and
progesterone buffers can lead to fibrocystic conditions of tissues, as well as
tissue atrophy (destruction) and cancers.

MODULE 2.9
The Muscular System

CONNECTIVE TISSUE

Connective tissue is a strong tissue, composed of collagen (protein) fibers,
that forms organs, glands, tissues (muscles), etc. Connective tissue offers
support, strength and form to cells and their respective tissues. Calcium is one
of the main components, besides protein, that affects the strength of
connective tissues. When the thyroid gland is weak, you lose your ability to
utilize calcium. This can create a variety of effects, including: hemorrhoids,varicose/spider veins, prolapsed conditions of organs (bladder, uterus, skin,
etc.), fingernail ridging and weaknesses, and hair loss.
TENDONS

Tendons are composed of fibrous connective tissue and serve as fasteners or
attachments of muscles to bones and other parts.
MUSCLES

Muscles are tissues that consist primarily of contractile cells. These tissues
(muscles) serve to produce movement. They also serve as structural support.
An example of this would be the spine, where all the muscles on each side of
the vertebrae serve as supports. If one side becomes weaker through toxicity
and inflammation, the strong side will pull the spine out of place.
There are three basic types of muscles in your body: involuntary (or
smooth muscles), voluntary (or striated muscles), and cardiac muscles.
INVOLUNTARY (OR SMOOTH MUSCLES) —
Fall under the autonomic nervous system (without conscious control).
Smooth muscles are composed of spindle-shaped cells and have no cross
fibers or sections (unstriated). Involuntary muscles mainly comprise internal
organs, including the GI (gastrointestinal) tract, urinary tract and respiratory
passages.
VOLUNTARY (OR STRIATED)—Found mainly as skeletal muscles, but
also can be found in the throat (esophagus, etc.). Voluntary muscles fall
under the voluntary nervous system (CNS) for conscious control. These
muscles have fibers grouped into bundles and are surrounded by connective
tissue formed into cylinders. These are stronger muscles, designed for heavier
activity (pulling, stretching, etc.).
CARDIAC MUSCLES — Similar to striated muscles in that they are made up
of tissues that are like long cylinders. Cardiac muscles form a continuous
network of cylinder fibers with intervals of intercalated disks or cross-type
fibers called Purkinje fibers. Purkinje fibers create the impulse-conducting
system of the heart.Muscles come in many shapes and sizes. They include:
Strap or flat type
Striated, which have cross-over sections in their fibers for added strength
Unstriated, which have no cross-sections. They are called smooth
muscles.
Spindle-shaped (triangular) muscles with a “fleshy” body and tapering at
one end like a “top”
Papillary muscles which are like columns supporting valves (heart)
Sphincter muscles—circular-type muscles which make up various
sphincters, including the stomach. Sphincter muscles also encircle
various ducts and orifices (anus, etc.).

 MODULE 2.10
The Nervous System

CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS)

The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord.
These tissues consist of gray and white matter. The white matter transmits
impulses throughout the CNS.
The brain is made up of nerve tissue and is contained within the cranial
cavity of the cranium. It has three parts to it: the cerebrum, cerebellum, and
the brainstem (medulla, pons and midbrain). There are five lobes that make
up these three parts. These five lobes are the


 older adults deficient in salivary amylase. The Food Enzyme Concept holds that human digestive fluids have an
unacceptably high enzyme content, much richer than those of
wild creatures. There are indications that this anomaly may
impede production of hundreds of specific metabolic enzymes
needed for diverse metabolic chores. The digestive secretions of humans in the prime of life are pathologically rich, at the
expense of metabolic enzymes. In a set of experiments on
human subjects, it was found that the average strength of
salivary amylase was 30 times higher in a group of younger adults than in a group of older adults.
   Dr. W. H. Taylor, University of Oxford, investigated the
optimal pH at which the stomach digested protein in vitro.
Surprisingly, he found not one, but two zones of maximal
activity. One was pH 1.6 to 2.4, at which the enzyme pepsin
is active. The other zone extended from pH 3.3 to 4.0, where
cathe
psin acts. It was found that the amount of protein digestion taking place at each zone was approximately equal.
This meant that pepsin is not the only enzyme performing
stomach digestion, but that cathepsin does an equal amount of work in digesting meat and vegetable proteins.
   Animal flesh and organs, particularly muscle meat, are
amply provided with cathepsin. It is found in every pound of meat in the butcher shop. When a tiger or other carnivore
tears off chunks of flesh from his prey and swallows them, the
cathepsin within the meat itself is right at home, and lightens
the burden of digestion for its counterpart in the warm
confines of the stomach, because it operates at precisely the same pH. If it is conceded that there are no reasons why the
food enzyme cathepsin should not engage in gastric digestion
equally with the cathepsin secreted by the stomach, on what
grounds should other food enzymes with like pH
characteristics be disqualified from participating in gastric digestion? Gastric cathepsin and food cathepsin operate at pH
3 to 4. Amylases in wheat and other grains also function well
at pH 3 to 4. Various vegetable proteases and lipases likewise
operate in this range. How can these food enzymes be
prevented from digesting food substrates in the human stomach, when nature has provided the ideal gastric pH
environment for them to digest protein, carbohydrate, and fat?
ENZYME NUTRITION
   Raw food does not stimulate enzyme secretion as much as
cooked food. Less stomach acid is secreted. This permits food
enzymes to operate for a longer period in the food-enzyme
section of the stomach than when the meal consists of cooked
food. Consequently, more digestion is performed by food
enzymes. When food enzymes, or other exogenous enzymes are permitted to do more work, this results in normalizing and
lessening the strength of excessively high digestive enzyme
secretions, such as pancreatic juice and saliva. Food enzymes are much less concentrated than pancreatic digestive
enzymes. Digestion of a raw food meal takes more time.
When a jungle lion finishes a meal, its stomach is full of large
chunks of raw meat, perhaps 30 or more pounds. A period of
stupor sets in, during which time cathepsin within the meat starts digesting it. Later, pepsin from the lion's stomach juice
digests the meat chunks from the outside, while the food
enzymes continue to digest them from within. Several days
may pass before the job is completed. When a small snake
swallows a frog, or when a large snake like a python swallows a pig, a big distention appears in the body of the
snake in the area of the stomach, and the same events
transpire. The cathepsin of the prey and its digestive enzymes
now become the food enz
ymes of the snake host and work for its benefit. There is nothing to prevent the digestive enzymes
of the prey from doing the same job in the stomach of their
new owner as they did during life for the benefit of their
former owner. It may require a week for the food enzymes, plus the snake's digestive enzymes, to digest the meal and
make the distention disappear.
   Careful study shows that nature's creatures possess a food-
enzyme stomach or its equivalent that allows their exclusively
raw food diet to be predigested, relieving their digestive
organs of excess work. Humans also possess a food-enzyme
stomach which, as we have shown, is capable of relieving the digestive burden when food enzymes are included in the diet.
In the chapters that follow, I will explain the role of food
enzymes in health and show how we can harness their energy-
giving properties for healing, greater health, and longer life. I
will also cover their application in the treatment of various
degenerative illnesses affecting mankind today.

     About Dr. Howell
   Dr. Edward Howell was born in Chicago in 1898. He holds
a limited medical license from the State of Illinois. (The
holder of a limited practice license must pass the same Board
Examination as a medical doctor. Only materia medica, obstetrics, and surgery are excluded.)
   In 1924, after obtaining his license, Dr. Howell joined the
staff of the Lindlahr Sanitarium in Illinois, where he remained until 1930. He then established a private practice for the treatment of advanced illness utilizing nutritional and physical therapies. For the next 40 years until his retirement
he spent three days each week with patients, while the balance of his time was devoted to various kinds of research.
   Dr. Howell is the true pioneer in his field, having been the
first researcher to recognize and delineate the importance of
the enzymes in food to human nutrition. In 1946 he wrote The
Status of Food Enzymes in Digestion and Metabolism, which
has recently been reprinted. He then took more than 20 years
to complete Enzyme Nutrition, of which this book is a
published abridgment. The original is approximately 700
pages long and contains over 700 references to the world's
scientific literature.
   Dr. Howell, now eighty-seven, is presently living in
Southwest Florida where he serves as Research Director for the Food Enzyme Research Foundation and continues his
writing and research.
 <|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>The Hardest Thing to Do Is "Nothing" by Dr. V. V. Vetrano
"Poor baby, she's so sick. And look at her, she can barely lift her head!"
"Yes, it is true, she is sick and has a high fever. But don't worry, she's fasting and the fever won't last too long."
The first day went by without the in-laws saying too much, so I felt relieved. My husband thought I knew what I
was doing and he didn't bother me too much about how I fed our baby. So I didn't have too much concern that he
would stop me from fasting her.
The second day went by. All the family came to visit the baby. They were a little concerned. But when the third
and fourth days had passed and the baby still had a fever, I really had to calm their fears. It was an unheard of
thing, to fast a two-year-old baby. Everybody knows when babies have fever they need penicillin to knock it out.
To refuse to see a medical doctor when a baby is ill is a crime, they say, and to fast a baby is even worse.... it is
sheer craziness. I'm surprised the family put up with my ways as well as they did. Perhaps I acted like I knew
what I was doing or my faith in Natural Hygiene was so strong that it calmed their fears for a while, but on the
fifth day of the child's fast even my husband panicked. He stormed out of the house saying, "If she isn't better by
tomorrow, I'm taking her to a doctor."
I was just as concerned for my baby as they were, but to let my concern or lack of faith show would have been
the end of her Hygienic care. I waited it out patiently, knowing that nature heals. I took her temperature daily,
kept her warm, permitted her to rest quietly, and prevented people from smoking in the room, or from waking
her up to see if she was alive. I kept the place quiet so she could sleep and do nothing else.
It's hard to buck the whole world, but it is even harder to sit back and wait for the day when a fever will drop.
Every day you watch, listen, and hope. Infants that are fasting and who have fever are very quiet. They sleep a
lot and this is also disquieting when you are a neophyte Hygienist and not a doctor. All sorts of fears enter your
head.
"Is she okay?" you keep wondering. "Is she breathing?" "Is she still alive?" You are scared to death. You want to
shake the child, or awaken it, or do just anything to reassure yourself that everything is fine. But I didn't do
anything rash. I had to have patience and wait upon nature to complete her wonderful healing process. I was very
worried, but I had faith in the living organism. Finally, her fever broke about mid-day on the fifth day of her fast,
and there were sighs of relief all around. Her father was


ise some of my personal experiences.

In my opinion, the single most important thing common to the best meditation
techniques is the teacher, or master, who is capable of showing you  the access path to
your own  higher mind. No words can describe this connection. You actually have to be
shown the beginning of your own  path, together with some instructions, so you can
progress along it yourself  every day.

I had two meditation teachers: Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a leader of the Transce ndental
Meditation (TM) movement, whom I never met and Master Ching Hai.  31
TM people will charge you about a thousand dollars for the basic technique and several
thousand dollars if you want to learn more advanced techniques. In my opinion, the
gaining of knowledge, for those who are ready to learn, should be essentially fr ee of
any charges, so I could not justify the latter. However, I must say, that I ha ve had
considerable degree of success, using the basic TM technique.

Master Ching Hai, on the other hand, teaches you the Quan Yin method, known for
thousands of years to be the best meditation technique, totally free of charge. Her
organization does not even accept donations. The only way to help their activity
financially is to buy books, works of art, fashion clothes and other things they produce.
Master Ching Hai’s requirement to teach you the Quan Yin method is your
commitment to become a vegetarian for life and to meditate 2.5 hours each day.
(Master Ching Hai books are listed in the References).

After meditating for some time I noticed, that my life has become much easi er. Most
problems, including stress, have been practically eliminated. I have found that nothing
is truly difficult to understand, you just need to learn to listen to your higher mind.

I have also found that development of our wisdom is actually the purpose of our
existence. Life is just a lesson. If we do not learn, it becomes harder, until we  do.

TRUE HEALING – PRACTICAL ADVICE

  Detoxification

We will discuss only natural detoxification methods here. By natural I mean met hods of
assisting and/or enhancing the natural cleansing mechanisms the body alrea dy uses
everyday.

Let us consider some of the organs which are responsible for the excretion of the t oxic
waste from our body, and see how we can assist in this process.

Lungs. All our blood passes through the net of blood vessels in the lungs and is
oxygenated. This process provides oxygen, necessary to the process of extracting
energy from our food. Using this oxygen our body is able to oxygenate (burn) food as
well as toxins. Excretion is achieved by exhaling carbon dioxide together with ot her
(sometimes quite aromatic) gases. How can we assist? Surely lots of  clean fresh air
would make a difference. Improved breathing techniques could also help. According to
the teachings of yoga our breathing should be quite slow and contain four distinct
phases: slow inhaling, a wait period, slow exhaling another wait period. For some
people it happens so naturally, that they do not pay attention to it. However it is
possible to acquire bad habits, in which case some breathing exercises may help. F or
instructions regarding breathing technique, look up the books “The oxygen
breakthrough” or “Oxygen therapies” listed in References or read a book about yog a.

Skin. Skin is the largest organ in our body. We tend to underestimate its function in the
metabolism process and in particular its excretion capacity. When we sweat, g lands in
our skin expel toxic waste, which usually does not smell nice. We should clean the skin
from such waste, because it clogs the skin, reducing the capacity to excrete more toxins.
However, we should be careful which cleaning agents (solvents!) we use, because th e
skin also has the ability to absorb substances into our body. Techniques to accelerate
skin excretion (sweating) are for sauna and moderate exercise. Their rol es in the
acceleration of the detoxification processes are described in separate sec tions further on
in this book.

Bowel. By weight, most of the solid waste leaves our body here. So any improvement
in the rate of detoxification should definitely start here. Colonic or even a simpl e enema
can relieve your body from many kilograms of toxic waste, you should not be attac hed
to at all. For more detail see a section about the enema later in this book.

Urinary system. Most of the liquid or water soluble waste leaves our body through the
urinary system. How can we improve here? Drinking a lot (2-5 liters) of pure wate r a
day will make a great impact on the fluid exchange processes in our body, enabling
improved flushing of unwanted waste. After all, our body is 75% water and our brain is
90% water. Pure water (in contrast to water polluted with chlorine, fluoride pestici des
and other nasties) is necessary to the process of proper fluid exchange.
  33  Accelerating the detoxification process.

The natural detoxification processes performed by our body can be greatl y accelerated
with your conscious help, thereby providing the basis for spectacular recover y and
healing of your body.

Notice, that many toxins accumulate in your body over your entire lifespan, and i t may
take a considerable amount of time to purify your body in the detoxification process,
using techniques described in this chapter, you should notice significant health
improvement almost immediately.

Some of the most effective natural detoxification techniques are described below.
Please read the information below with careful attention, making sure that you
understand everything thoroughly without a doubt. Your complete understanding is
necessary for your own safety and comfort.

1.  Cleaning the bowel.

Colonic or even a simple enema can relieve your body instantly from many kilo grams
of toxic waste. Below I describe a simple technique for performing a natur al enema.

1.  Prepare the equipment for performing the enema. The best units available are
types used in hospitals, with a large capacity (2-3 liters) gravity tank, flex ible
hose and a nozzle to be inserted in the anus. Consult a friendly nurse if in doubt.
Other units (enema syringe, see Fig.1 below) have a simple hand pump which is
used to pump water from any container into the flexible hose with a nozzle at the
end.

 Fig.1 Enema syringe (Higginson syringe). Valve is not necessary (it  makes
cleaning/drying difficult). Instead, you can squeeze section 2 of the flexible  hose with
your fingers before pressing the pump.   34  2.  Prepare about 5 to 6 liters of water. Use lukewarm (body temperature) water
(preferably pure of filtered) for performing the enema. Avoid un specified
chemicals, Chlorine, detergents or soap etc. in the solution. If available, add a few
drops (3-5) of 3% hydrogen peroxide for every liter of water, (equivalent to 1
drop of 30% of hydrogen peroxide per 2 liters of water). Be very careful not to
exceed the specified concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. Similar concentrat ions
of hydrogen peroxide occur naturally in the rain water high in the mountains and
in some springs (Lourdes, France). Hydrogen peroxide inside your bowel breaks
down into pure water and pure oxygen. Extra oxygen is then used to oxidize
toxins directly and serves as a safe antiseptic. Some of the free oxygen enters  the
bloodstream right in the bowel, assisting greatly the surrounding cells in exc reting
toxins. Never use any chemicals, soap or detergents in the water for enema.
The reason is simple: anything you put in will be immediately absorbed into your
blood stream. Adding chemicals, soap or detergents to your enema water makes
all procedure useless from the point of view of detoxification: you just add more
toxins.

3.  Insert the nozzle into your anus and let the water flow in (or pump it in). Try to
allow as much as water you can. Without causing any excessive discomfort or
pain. If you feel pain, stop the flow of water immediately.

4.  Try to hold the water inside your bowels for at least a few seconds. It would be
best if you could do a few steps, jumps and perhaps a few sit-ups whilst still
holding the water inside you. But do not force yourself. Do whatever comes easy.

5.  Sit on the toilet and let go off the water slowly. Do not try to accelerate the flow
of whatever comes out by excessive pressure. You may cause yourself
unnecessary discomfort. Do not rush. Let the body take its time to perform the
cleansing. To assist your intestines in the transportation and excretion of wa ste,
you can gently massage your stomach with your hands. Wait until all the act ivity
in the bowel stops, and you do not feel any reason to sit on the toilet. Clean
yourself with a tissue.

6.  Repeat the sequence of steps 3-5  two or three times, until clean water comes out


 a
combination of vitamin B with the other vitamins and minerals.
   On page 56, under a discussion of the polyneuritis of pregnancy, he states that this is a
deficiency condition identical in many ways with beriberi. This statement should be
changed to say that the disease is true beriberi, and that the optimum treatment is not vitamin B alone, but the whole vitamin group, with special emphasis on vitamin B.
   On page 57, discussing the vomiting of pregnancy, he states that one should think first
of a vitamin deficiency. This statement is true but it does not go far enough. It is
practically always a vitamin deficiency, and is  a multiple deficiency having to do with
both vitamins and minerals. The woman who has vomited a good deal has lost in the liquid vomitus much of her physiological minerals. In this she loses particularly
calcium, and sodium chloride. There must be some replacement of these minerals along
with vitamin treatment in order to handle these cases properly. It should be
remembered, and it is emphasized in this book, that the pregnant woman's needs for
vitamins and minerals are much greater th an the non-pregnant woman's because of the
requirements of the fetus.
   On page 61 the statement is made that there is dependable evidence that a lowering of
the intake of vitamin B
1 is associated with a general lowering of resistance to all kinds
of infection. This should be changed to read "vitamins and minerals" and not B 1. alone.
   One of the widespread fallacies connected with the introduction of vitamin treatment
has been the oft repeated statement that niaci n-amide is a cure for pellagra. On page 87
of the book the statement is made that niacin alone can not be considered a cure for
pellagra. It must be supplemented by the use of riboflavin, thiamin, vitamin B 6, and
some of the unidentified principles of the complex, as well as by vitamin C and vitamin A. This statement shows that some improved thinking has been going on in connection
with vitamin treatment, but the statement is not complete. The victim of pellagra also
needs attention to the deficient mineral intake. The author has known victims of pellagra
to go to their grave dosed with enormous doses  of niacin, or enormous doses of vitamin
B
2 complex, the disease being only partially improved in the beginning of the treatment,
the patient going on to death because of starvation for other vitamins and minerals.
   On page 101 the statement appears that vitamin C is important in maintaining the
integrity of immunity to certain infections. the same error exists here. While it is quite
evident that vitamin C does do much to keep up the integrity of specific immunities and
general immunities to infection, only one part of the optimum immunity is achieved by the use of vitamin C alone. The statement that vitamin C exists in high concentration in the pituitary gland, in the adrenal, in the corpus luteum and other parts which have
much to do with keeping the flame of life burning at its optimum is true only if the
vitamin C here mentioned is supported by the other vitamins and by proper mineral
balance.
   Another reference to vitamin C is its connection with some anemias that do not
respond to treatment with iron. In this the author is agreeing in a small way with our
previously expressed principle that iron in these cases does not give the best results
unless other minerals and all the vitamins which have been removed by food processing
are put back into the food intake.
   On page 111 the author mentions the vitamin C intake in connection with stomach
ulcer. There is no question but that vitamin C is indicated in stomach ulcer, but all other
vitamins and minerals are also indicated. The relief afforded by vitamin C is only a
partial and temporary relief. Stomach or duodina l ulcer is as surely a dietary deficiency
disease as is scurvy or pellagra.
   On page 112 vitamin C is discussed in relation to its building up immunity against all
chronic infectious conditions, and the benefit it may confer on patient suffering with
toxic conditions of the thyroid gland. There is no question but that both of these points are well taken. The toxic diseases of the thyroid are undoubtedly the result of old,
chronic, long-continued, low-grade infecti ons. The fact that the principal material
(iodine), required in fighting such infections, is present in insufficient quantity
contributes to the compensatory overgrowth of the gland and the manufacturing of a toxic secretion (toxic adenoma).
   Since basal metabolism is very much increased in toxic conditions of the thyroid, and
since the increased metabolism burns up vitamin B
1 in a very decided manner, the most
urgent need in all cases of exophthalmic goiter is for thiamin. The need for thiamin is
even greater than the need for iodine. Of course other elements are also necessary.
Operating on such patients or destroying a part of the gland by radiation reduces the rate
at which thiamin is destroyed, and while on ordinary diets, no new thiamin is furnished,
it allows the organism to get along better with what little iodine and thiamin there is in the food. There is relatively more thiamin in the blood because with lower basal
metabolism there is less destroyed. By this process the relative amount of vitamin B
present in the blood is increased, so the patient feels better. The patient of course is not
cured until he is provided with sufficient amounts of iodine and other minerals and
vitamin B and other vitamins to make up for his past deficiencies and to provide the maintenance for daily bodily needs. Certain thyroid patients become "iodine fast"
during treatment with iodine. This means that progress toward recovery has stopped
with treatment by iodine alone. If these patients are given large doses of vitamins and
minerals along with the iodine they will continue to improve.
   In the Journal  of the American Medical Association of May 3, 1941, Dr. Clarence A.
Mills, Professor of Experimental Medicine in the University of Cincinnati, College of
Medicine, calls attention to the danger of prescribing of single vitamins, since such
prescribing may be the means of upsetting the vitamin balance in the body and inducing
other forms of disease. He called attention to  the fact that Wilder  produced artificially
deficiency symptoms in adults kept on a thiamin intake of 0.15 milligrams daily. It is usually considered that one to three milligrams daily is the optimum for the normal
adult. He cites the case of a woman aged 47 who had been taking large doses of thiamin for two and one-half weeks. The symptoms resembled those of over-dosage with
thyroid extract--headache, increased irritability, insomnia, rapid pulse, weakness and
trembling. This cleared up two days after the treatment was discontinued. After one week's rest, the patient returned to the use of thiamin, taking one-half the former dose,
and the same toxic symptoms returned. She obtained relief only by discontinuing the use of the thiamin.
   He states that on a recent visit to the tropics he encountered many cases where large
doses of vitamin B
1 taken alone caused similar symptoms, accompanied by tremors of
the hands and nervous irritability. In all these cases a reduction of the dose or giving up the vitamin altogether resulted in relief from the distressing symptoms.
   Dr. Mills also calls attention to the work of Dr. Agnes Fay Morgan of the University
of California reported in "Science," March 14, 1941, "The Effect of Imbalance in the
Filtrate Factor of the Vitamin B Complex in Dogs," that shows that unfavorable results
may attend the administration of any single one where many elements are lacking. He
states that studies on rats in his own laboratory show the same effect. He brings out the very interesting observation which at the present time is of very great interest, that the
addition of thiamin to bread and other commonly used foods without control over the
intake level carries a potentiality for harm. He states that this is particularly true in the middle temperate regions where metabolic disturbances are already prone to occur. The medical profession should recognize the need for greater conservatism in the use of this
vitamin, and its distribution through nonmedical and medical channels should be placed
on a more scientific and controlled basis.
   In the above mentioned article Dr. Morgan warns that there is possibility of danger in
the food program planned to improve national health by adding one or two vitamins to
staple foods when these foods are deficient in many other vitamins. She states that
health may become worse instead of better because of the vitamin balance being upset.
Whole-wheat bread contains iron, all the va rious components of the vitamin B complex,
vitamin E and trace minerals. To attempt to compensate for all of these valuable
elements by putting thiamin, niacin, and a small amount of iron in the bread is utterly
ridiculous. It is harmful from another standpoint, and this is the fact that the average
person reads in newspapers that the government has taken note of the inadequacies of
white bread and has now decided to do something to correct the existing deficiencies. A person who has been getting along well on whole-wheat bread is now induced to eat so-
called enriched white bread, believing that it is not only as good, but better, is badly
deceived. The enrichment provides only a sm all fraction of the elements which have
been removed in milling. By


 prayer. What of the m any humble
prayers of children, the simple thanksgiving of grace at the tabl e daily,
 5 the faithful devotions wherein the individual seeks only com-munion
with God? My work with people has made it necessary for me  to
study the various approaches to prayer. I have ex-perienced the power
of prayer in my own life, and I have talked and worked with m any
people who also have enjoyed the help of prayer. The problem  usually
is how to tell others how to pray. People who are in troubl e have
difficulty in thinking and acting reasonably. They need an easy
formula to follow, an obviously workable pattern that is sim ple and
specific. Often they must be led to approach the emergency.
• Unique feature of this book
The unique feature of this book is its down-to-earth prac-ti cality.
Here you are presented with simple, usable techniques and formul as,
which you can easily apply in your workaday world. I have taught
these simple processes to men and women all over the world, an d
recently over a thousand men and women of all religious affiliati ons
attended a special class in Los Angeles where I presented the
highlights of what is offered in the pages of this book. Many came
from distances of two hundred miles for each class lesson. The  special
features of this book will ap-peal to you because they show you why
oftentimes you get the opposite of what you prayed for and reveal  to
you the reasons why. People have asked me in all parts of the world
and thou-sands of times, “Why is it I have prayed and prayed and g ot
no answer?” In this book you will find the reasons for this common
complaint. The many ways of impressing the subconscious mind and
getting the right answers make this an extraordinarily valu -able book
and an ever-present help in time of trouble.
• What do you believe?
It is not the thing believed in that brings an answer to man’s  prayer;
the answer to prayer results when the individual’s sub-consci ous mind
responds to the mental picture or thought in his mind. This law of
belief is operating in all religions of the world and is t he reason why
they are psychologically true. The Bud-dhist, the Christian, the
Moslem, and the Hebrew all may get answers to their prayer s, not
 6 because of the particular creed, religion, affiliation, ri tual, ceremony,
formula, liturgy, incanta-tion, sacrifices, or offerings, but sol ely
because of belief or mental acceptance and receptivity about that for
which they pray.
The law of life is the law of belief, and belief could be summed up
briefly as a thought in your mind. As a man thinks, feels, and believ es,
so is the condition of his mind, body, and circum-stances. A
technique, a methodology based on an understanding of what you are
doing and why you are doing it will help you to bring about a
subconscious embodiment of all the good things of life. Essential ly,
answered prayer is the realization of your heart’s desire.
• Desire is prayer
Everyone desires health, happiness, security, peace of mind, true
expression, but many fail to achieve clearly defined results. A
university professor admitted to me recently, “I know that if I  changed
my mental pattern and redirected my emotional life, my ulcers would
not recur, but I do not have any technique, process, or modus
operandi. My mind wanders back and forth on my many problems,
and I feel frustrated, defeated, and unhappy.”
This professor had a desire for perfect health; he neede d knowledge
of the way his mind worked which would enable him to fulfill his
desire. By practicing the healing methods outlined in this book, he
became whole and perfect.
• There is one mind common to all individual men (Emerson)
The miracle-working powers of your subconscious mind existed
before you and I were born, before any church or world existed. The
great eternal truths and principles of life antedate all religions. It is
with these thoughts in mind that I urge you in the following chapt ers
to lay hold of this wonderful, magical, transforming power, which wil l
bind up mental and physical wounds, proclaim liberty to the  fear-
ridden mind, and liberate you completely from the limitations of
poverty, failure, misery, lack, and frustration. All you have to do is
unite mentally and emotionally with the good you wish to embody,
 7 and the creative powers of your subconscious will respond
accordingly. Begin now, today, let wonders happen in your life!
Keep on, keeping on until the day breaks and the shadows flee away.

 fasting is the purest type of fast for the body and the only type of cleanse where the body is not getting any food at all.  For that reason, it can go deeper and is more powerful for healing.I believe water fasting is the best way to release toxins from the mind, body and spirit.  It’s that simple.  The body knows how to heal itself, it just needs a chance to do it.  When you fast, you are directing the body to takes it’s energy inward.  It can then start cleansing and healing itself. Through the industrialization of the world, we have decided as a species that we know what’s better for us than what nature provided.  We have man-handled our foods to the point where they are poisonous to us and we have lived a more chemical-based life than ever before.  No wonder why with all that ‘progress,’ we are sicker than ever before!The path to good health is so simple – trust that the body knows.  Feed it well, think positive thoughts, bring love into your heart, and cleanse and detoxify your body and you will begin to feel superior states of consciousness and well-being that you never even knew existed!Introduction to Water Fasting
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!13Chapter 2Preparation for a Water FastPRE-FAST INTESTINAL CLEANSINGBefore you even consider a water fast, it is very important to have done some colon cleansing in the past.  And by that I don’t mean having an occasional colonic!  Personally, I recommend the Dr. Richard Anderson Arise and Shine 7-day cleanse as an absolute minimum.  It is important to have done several intestinal cleanses to ensure that your body has had a chance to release any substantial build-up of toxins, otherwise going straight into a water fast could make you feel quite unwell.  It would be a good idea for you to experience a 7-day juice fast as well.  Ideally, I would recommend a 7-day intestinal program with twice daily enemas, then 5-7 days of juice fasting as a way to gently ease into a water fast.  If done in this way, the body will have a much easier transition and any initial cleansing reactions will be greatly reduced.In my case, I had been doing the Arise and Shine cleansing program and juice fasting for 12 years before I ever did my ﬁrst water fast!  Your body will know when it has experienced all it can from intestinal cleansing and you will naturally be drawn to the idea of water fast when it’s ready.FINDING THE RIGHT LOCATIONOnce you have made the decision to do a water fast, the next step is to create the time and space in your life to do it.  Water fasting is more gentle on the body in a warm climate where you can expose your body to the sun every day and enjoy nice, clean fresh air.  I could not even imagine doing a water fast in the middle of winter in a city!  Think about these things in advance and perhaps even plan a holiday around doing your fast.  After all, it is the best gift you can give yourself, so ﬁnd a place where you will enjoy the experience the most.Keep in mind that if this is your ﬁrst water fast and if you do not have a lot of experience in cleansing and detoxing, you may want to consider joining a retreat that specializes in water fasting.  Of course you don’t need anyone to explain how to drink water, but what is important is to feel safe and supported during your fast.  Especially on an emotional level, it is very good to have others to talk to who understand what you are going through and who can guide you through your experience.If you are doing the water fast on your own, tell at least one person who is close to you what you are doing.  Ask them to check in with you every day just to make sure you are ok.  Explain to them, that if need be, they may need to bring you a juice or some fresh fruit, and make sure they can commit to that for the duration of your fast.  If it’s a good friend, they should be more than happy to provide support.Preparation For a Water Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!15SETTING ASIDE THE TIMETry to completely eliminate all work responsibilities during your fast or at least greatly reduce them.  You will need all of your energy for the healing process, and if you externalize that energy you will only be taking away from yourself.  Be mentally prepared to do as little as possible during your fast.  Resting, meditation, deep breathing, some time in the sun and more resting should be as busy as your days get!BE HUMBLE!Be careful not to tell the whole world what you are doing before you start your fast – for one, most people will think you are crazy and try to talk you out of it, and second, you will be setting yourself to live up to an expectation.  If you do break your fast early, you will surely get a lot of ‘See I told you it was bad for you,’ and really, that’s the last that you need to hear!  Be sure that this fast is for you, for your healing, not for your ego!PREPARING THE BODY NUTRITIONALLYIt is important to have a full reserve of vitamins and minerals in your body before starting a water fast.  If you have been eating de-vitalized foods and been under a lot of stress, it is likely you are deﬁcient in some essential minerals.  In the weeks before your water fast, drink plenty of fresh juices, eat as much raw food or lightly steamed veggies as possible and stay away from Preparation For a Water Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!16processed foods, meats, dairy and alcohol.  Personally I have a liquid mineral supplement that I also take during the pre-fast.  It is a full spectrum of colloidal minerals which is easily absorbed into the body.  I also take a lot of raw apple cider vinegar during that time to speciﬁcally increase potassium levels and start the process of gentle cleansing (1 Tbsp mixed with water, 3-4 times/day).  I think it is one of the best things to take in preparation for a water fast.  WATER – WHAT KIND, HOW MUCH & TEMPERATUREWater is the key element of your water fast, so take some time to get the best that is available to you.  As I mentioned in Chapter 1, many people will recommend distilled water for a water fast.  In my opinion, I would prefer to have live, natural mountain spring water straight from the source.  I couldn’t think of a better gift from Mother Earth herself!  During my fasts, I bought mineral water from the store in large containers and used that for drinking and enemas.Everyone will be a bit different in terms of how much water to drink during the fast.  Initially, I started drinking 6 liters per day, and I found that as the fast progressed, I naturally drank less, perhaps 4.5 liters per day.  I became full very quickly and did not want to drink large amounts.  I listened to my body.  If you feel thirsty, drink more.  Some people talk about heating the water during a fast and sipping it to give them the feel of something different on their palate. One Natural Hygienist wrote that warm water helps to break up catarrh and mucous Preparation For a Water Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!17better in the same way that hot water will clean grease from a cooking pan.  On my ﬁrst 2 fasts, I did not drink warm water, but on my long fast detailed below, I had 2 cups of warm water ﬁrst thing in the morning for the ﬁrst 10 days.It’s deﬁnitely not a good idea to drink cold water while fasting as your body will waste energy having to warm the liquid inside.One thing that I did to my water that I have not seen anyone else talk about is I energized my water before drinking.  I took a Tesla purple plate and a personal harmonizer and wrapped them around my water bottles so they increased the natural healing vibration of the water itself.  I also wore a similar device around my neck during the fast to increase the healing frequencies within my body itself.  I’ve written more about these items in Chapter 8.In addition, I added crystals to the water before drinking as explained earlier in Chapter 1.  I bought a glass pitcher and ﬁlled the bottom of the pitcher with several pieces of rose quartz, amethyst and clear quartz.  I would then transfer the mineral water from the plastic containers into the glass pitcher, and I would drink the water from there.  Crystals help to energize the water and  amplify a sense of calm, peace, clarity and love.ENEMASThere is a lot of debate as to whether or not to do enemas while water fasting.  I did one round of enemas every morning using a 2-liter bag.  I did 1 full rinse with the bag for a total of 2 liters.  During my ﬁrst 10-day fast,  I Preparation For a Water Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!18had almost nothing coming out, but I still did these ﬂushes because I think it does give the body a chance to release excess toxic build-up.  In my long fast as you will read below, I had worms released, so of course I am a believer in the daily enemas now! I do think most people would beneﬁt from daily enemas due to the increase of toxicity in our


A mother should never nurse her baby when she is in the
least over-heated or chilled with cold or laboring under any great emotion, such as grief, sympathy or anger. Fear and
anger change the milk of the mother to a poison. Children
have been thrown into spasms and known to die from nursing
just after the mother had undergone these conditions.
It is customary to begin feeding children at the age of
nine months such things as oatmeal, crackers, and white
bread. It would be very difficult to select anything in the food
line more mischievous than these articles. They are composed
very largely of starch, which the infant stomach cannot
digest, and none of its intestinal organs can assimilate.
The making and selling of penny confections ought to be
prohibited by law. The man who makes the all-day sucker
and other cheap filthy candies and confections to give to
innocent children for their pennies is a criminal, and ought to
be deprived of his liberty, and put out of business. It is not
uncommon for children at the age of ten, especially in cities,
to be afflicted with well-devel oped cases of acute indigestion,
which stunts the growth of both body and brain, from the
baneful effects of which they never can recover.
It looks incredible indeed that from the great faculties of
teachers, in no institution of learning in this land has there
ever come one suggestion—one hint, as to what kind of
material would make the best blood, build the best body and
brain It seems as if the thought would sometimes come to
these instructors of the youth of the land that the brain of the
children with which they are so industriously laboring
depends entirely for its size, quality and activity upon the
body, and the body depends entirely upon the material out of
which it is constructed. Some day the professors will begin to
think along these lines/and the food question will become a
part of the school and college curriculum. FOOD VALUES AND TABLES.

THE following tables were compiled from analyses made by
government experts in the Agricultural Department at
Washington.
We give a table on flesh foods, not because we endorse
or recommend them, but because it affords an opportunity of
comparison, which is the best means of acquiring knowledge:
The superiority of nuts in every life-giving property will
be noticed at a glance—for inst ance, the fuel value of pork-
sides, the meat which contains the greatest amount of fat, and
but little else, is only about 2,500 heat calories per pound,
while all the shelled nuts given in the table except one show a
fuel value in excess of the fattest meat, while most of them
run above 3,000, or from thirty to fifty per cent. greater than
meat as a fuel or heat producing article.
The thing, however, that ma kes nuts such an'excellent
article of food is that their nutritive elements are almost
perfectly proportioned; that is to say, a normal body requires
so much water, proteids, carbohydrates, mineral salts and fat
to sustain it healthfully each twenty-four hours, and in nuts
these elements are found more correctly proportioned
according to the requirements of the body than in any other
article of food known to science:

 HOW TO BEGIN THE USE OF UN-
COOKED FOODS.

IN dealing with the human body we must respect the laws of
heredity and environment. What might have been natural a
thousand years ago may be very unnatural to-day, and what
was decidedly unnatural at that remote period of time may
have become natural. The human body has the faculty of
adjusting itself even to false conditions, through the long
process of time.
The experiment may have killed a million or two people,
and dethroned the mental and moral machinery of as many
more, and shortened up the life period of several billion more,
but "Stickatitiveness" will in time work things around until
the very laws of nature seem to change to fit the false
condition.
This, however, in reality is not true. The price for every
violated law must be paid, and so long| as it is violated, just
so long will nature demand her settlement. The real penalty is
the difference between what man is find what he would have
been had he lived in obedience to the laws of his
organization.
Since people have evolved into their present habits and
customs, to correct them they must evolve out of them.
Therefore in adopting the use of uncooked foods, it is safest
to start on the evolutionary plan, gradually increasing the
number of uncooked dishes, and decreasing the number of
cooked ones, until all cooked and devitalized foods have been
eliminated and the system has had time enough to adjust itself
to the new conditions. This process can be hastened by
simplifying the diet—by limiting it to a few things, which
contain all the elements of nourishment.
Such foods should be selected as are not commonly
cooked, such as all kinds of nuts or bananas and cream, for
the heavy portion of the meal; and milk, dates, figs, lettuce or
cabbage, and juicy fruits, melons  and berries, to close with.
The mixing of the following articles in the process of
mastication develops a very delicious taste:

Pecan meats and cabbage.
Protoid nuts and apples.
Heavy cream and sweet apples.
Nuts, lettuce and olive oil.
Bananas, cream, dates and nuts.
Bananas, figs and cream.
Flaked wheat, dates, cream and nuts.           Thoroughly
Flaked oats, dates, cream and nuts                masticated.
Sweet apples, nuts and cream.
Soaked prunes and cream.
Soaked evaporated p eaches or apricots,
         raisins and cream.
Unfired bread and cream cheese.
Unfired bread, pecan meats.
Unfired bread, sweet butter and Brazil nuts.   Thorough mastication develops in all uncooked foods a
new and delicious taste. When the saliva, which is an alkaline
substance, begins to act upon the starch and other parts of
these foods the change that takes place in the blended articles
above tabulated creates a deliciousness that will win at once
those who try these blends follo wed by thorough mastication,
RECIPES.

IN bringing about any change in the habits of people, it
becomes necessary to pursue lines of least resistance. So
firmly fixed in the minds of the public is the idea that foods
need preparation, need fixing or something done to them
before they can be eaten, that in  order to induce them to take
any step in the direction of correct feeding it becomes
necessary to in some way prepare even elementary, or foods
in their natural condition. In reality foods in their natural
condition require but little preparation.
The object, however, of the following recipes has a
threefold purpose; first, to make the change from the old to
the new, or from the unnatural to the natural way of living, as
little radical as possible. Second, to group foods into such
combinations as will chemically harmonize when mixed in
the stomach; and third, to make them attractive to the vision.
There is nothing that invites us with a richer welcome—
nothing that excites the desire to eat—nothing that arouses
every organ of digestion more than nature's richly colored,
luscious and odorous edibles.
The recipes given here prove that there is a far wider
scope for variety and display than most people would
suppose. They are the results of long, careful and tedious
experimenting. They are offered as a help to those who desire
to take up the new or natural method of living. The old
proverb which says "There is nothing new under the sun" was
very sorely tried in the preparation of this work (unless we
are willing to go back to a time when man loped on his all-
fours through the forests of the Orient). In all the great New
York libraries there was not a book to be found that was of
any material aid to us in this work. It has all been drawn from
original labors. Many things th at seemed theoretically certain
were by practical experimenti ng proven to be untrue. After
several thousand experiments, we learned that in matters of
diet the laws of environment and heredity must be
considered. It is not necessary to eat cold foods in order to eat
uncooked foods.
The recipes given here we regard as little more than
suggestions. We sincerely hope that those who deem it worth
their while to give any thought to the kind of material out of
which they build their bodies and brain, will take up this great
work and carry it on to higher and higher degrees of
development.
Difference in temperature is the only scale by which to
measure motion, or all expressions of energy. Food,
therefore, should never be eaten very cold nor very hot, but as
near the temperature of the body as possible, cold food must
be brought to the temperature of the body at the expense of
energy. Icy drinks are responsible for much stomach trouble.
They do violence to every law governing health. Many things
in the uncooked bill-of-fare may be heated up to 140° or 150°
Fahr., if it makes them conform more to the demands of taste

THERE IS ONLY ONE EMOTION
SO, HERE YOU ARE  in the present moment, facing the changes that you’re dealing with right
now, and there is no doubt that you are having some emotion around that. Strong emotion,
perhaps. Emotion you may be having a hard time dealing with.
It is this emotion that is produ cing your Here -and-Now experience. It is this experience that
you call your reality.
Why are you having all this emotion? Why are you so angry, or so frightened, or so sad?
Mostly because you, like most people, do not come from your Apparent Truth when
forming your thoughts about a present -day event. If you did, things would be a lot easier.
But most people come from their Imagined Truth about what’s happening in their present
moment. This is what most people buy into.
A lion appears out of nowhere and roar s. You experience being petrified —because you
imagine that you are in danger of being mauled. A mountain road takes a turn and you find
yourself driving on the outside ledge, with a 3,000 -foot drop -off just outside the window.
You experience being terrifie d—because you imagine that with one wrong move you could
die. An audience is awaiting your entrance for a major speech. You experience being
paralyzed —because you imagine that you stand a good chance of going out there and
disappointing everybody while mak ing a fool of yourself.
A spouse abruptly leaves. Or you get laid off from your job. Or you lose your home. You
experience being stunned, angry, mortified. And, sooner or later... afraid.
All of this is based on your Imagined Truth, which is that this i s “bad,” that you’re going
to be “unhappy,” that lots of “struggle” lies ahead, or whatever.
It’s okay to feel this fear, of course. In the face of the change that you’re moving through,
it’s to be expected. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. It’s very normal.  It’s how we’ve been
raised. We’ve been told that fear exists, that fear is real.
The Actual Truth is that there is no such thing as fear. In fact, there is no such thing as
any emotion, other than one. All the other expressions are repackagings. There is only one
emotion, one energy, in the universe: the energy, the emotion, that we call Love. When you
know this, everything changes.
Now I know all this may sound a bit “airy -fairy” or “new agey” to you, but when you
know why  there is nothing but Love, every thing will become clear and your life will feel —
can I use this word? —healed. Remember, experience is produced by emotion, so
understanding that everything is a demonstration of the emotion called Love can alter your
entire experience of life.
But how can change  be a demonstration of Love? Didn’t we just say, haven’t we been
saying for quite a while now, that fear  is the emotion most people feel surrounding
change —even change for the better? Am I seriously suggesting now that fear does not
exist?  Yes, I am. That’s exactly what I’m saying. Because (and here comes a wonderful
revelation)... fear is a demonstration of Love.
If you did not love yourself, you would not fear for yourself, you would not be afraid of
anything, because you would not care what happe ned to you. You would not even care if
you survived. The “survival instinct” is nature’s way of expressing love.
If you did not love another, you would not fear for another, or be afraid of what might
happen to that other, because you would not care  what h appened.
Simple, isn’t it? And so we see with impeccable logic that Fear and Love are the same
thing, expressed differently. Likewise, every other emotion is love in another form. There is
only one emotion. That emotion is Love, expressed in a thousand dif ferent ways. It is the
Actual Truth. When we talk more about that Actual Truth a bit later, this whole concept will
come together more fully. Then you will see a quantum leap in your ability to deal with all
change peacefully.
But for now let’s do as I sug gested. Let’s look at two of the Three Brands of Truth:
Apparent Truth and Imagined Truth. It’s important that we do, because this is the key to
everything.
So... as I was saying...
... most people live in their Imagined Truth when things change, h aving been held down
there by their past. This Imagined Truth births a thought, out of which arises an emotion,
which produces an experience —which seems to them to be reality. As it turns out, it is a
Distorted Reality.
This gets us back to where you might  be right now.
Because of what has just happened to you —this huge change that has been visited upon
you that is not something you would have chosen, that is something that just came down
out of the blue, out of thin air —you’re angry, or sad, or frustrated,  or disappointed, or
disillusioned, or “all of the above”... all because you are afraid. And you are afraid... all
because you are in love. You’re in love with yourself (even though you don’t think you are)
and you’re in love with life (even though y ou say you hate it right now).
You’re afraid of trading in a past that you knew for a future you do not. Afraid of what
might happen. Afraid of how things could be. And afraid that you may never find this kind
of situation again (this kind of job, this kin d of person, this kind of home); that you may
never have this kind of experience again.
Well, you may  never find this kind of situation again —but you may very well have this
kind of experience  again. (For instance, you may never be with the same mate again, but
you may very well have the same experience —the experience of joy and happiness —with
another mate. It all depends on what you buy into: your Imagined Truth or the Apparent
Truth.)
Remember that the experience of happiness has nothing to do with a given situation.
This is hard to accept because we are absolutely certain that it does. Yet there is no
connection between exterior events and interior experiences, except in your head.
Your capacity to know joy is not connected to this one person or to th at one place of
employment, for instance. You just think  that it is. The Apparent Truth and the Imagined
Truth are not identical. Ever.  Ever.
Events do not have meanings. Events are events, and meanings are thoughts. Nothing
has any meaning save the meanin g you give it. And the meaning you give to things does not
derive from any event, circumstance, condition, or situation exterior to yourself. The Giving
of Meaning is entirely an internal process.
Entirely.
Know Your Self as Light.
Bigger even, than Breath.
Larger even, than the Whole.
Quieter even, than the Quiet that holds You.
Know Your Self as Held.
Softer even, than as before;
Deeper even, than any Darkness.
When the Lightbody of You
breathes without borders

or of any bounds at all
When you Know Your Self

to move through You
exquisite, innocent instrument

Know Your Self as
Life’s greatest Laughter;
Life’s greatest Lover,

ALL ABOUT THE AFTEREFFECT
WHAT WE’VE BEEN TALKING  about here is the technology of thought —or what I call the
Mechanics of the Mind. And this exploration is more than you and I ambling down
Philo sophy Lane. When you deeply understand how your mind works, you will understand
how to make it work for you.
This is something your mind does not want to do. Or, more accurately, it is something
that your ego does not want you to do. Your ego is the part o f your mind that thinks that
you are your mind. And it knows that once you figure out how the mind works, you will
become very clear that you are not your mind —and that with that  knowledge will come the
gradual disassembling of the ego in its present form.
Because the ego knows this, it will work overtime to get you to take your mind off all this.
Somewhere in the next few chapters, for instance, it will try to cause you to feel “bored”
with this entire exploration. Or “annoyed” that it’s taking so long to be explained. Or
“frustrated


  we realize that being “out of control” is the ultimate
expression of being “in control.”

DR. COOPER: And why do you say that? (Pause) I’m very, very
curious...

NEALE: What I mean is that I feel more in control of my own life
when I’m out of control of what’ s going on in my exterior world than
in the moments where I thought that I really had a certain level of
control. Becau se when I’m “out of control,” the level of personalcontrol that I have is magnified, in the sense that I am controlling my
individual expe rience so broadly that I can literally be “out of control”
of day-to-day circumstances and events, and not have that condition
of being “out of control” control me.
When I do not allow being “out of control” to control me, I am
then in ultimate control. I get to decide what the exter ior events of life
mean. I become the God of my own Universe.

DR. COOPER: That makes total sense. The moment we maintain
personal contr ol, regardless  of what “out of control” events are
occurring around us, is the moment that nothing can then “throw us
off our game.” We no longer allow fear to hold us back in the creative
expression of our soul’ s agenda.
So perhaps the greatest demonstration of control is to take a
situation that appears “out of our control” and to no longer let it
negatively af fect our internal world.
Is that what you’re saying?

NEALE: Precisely. Not only do we not let it negatively affect our
internal world, we actually cause it to be a magnificent aspect of that
internal world. We say to the part of ourselves that sees the outer
world out of control: “Watch this. Watch me control my experience of
the out-of-control-ness.”
If that isn’t Divinity, I don’t know what is. We are acknowledging
that we have created, collaboratively, the apparent  out-of-control-
ness, producing the perfect Contextual Field within which to
announce and declare, express and experience, become and fulfillthe next grandest version of the greatest vision ever we held about
Who W e Are.

DR. COOPER:  Gosh, you almost make me want to call forth “out-of-
control-ness” in order to experience what you’re talking about right
now. It sounds almost like fun, like a challenge.

NEALE: Well, in fact, most of us do that. We’re just doing it
unconsciously. Why do you suppose we’ve created a world that
seems to be out of control?
It’s not that we don’t have the ability to control it. With the
miracles that humanity has been able to create in technology, in
medicine, in science, even in certain political areas and so forth, and
social areas as well, we have the ability right now to bring certain
areas of our collective experience on Earth under control
immediately. It’s not an accident that we’re not doing that.
It’s not consciously happening, but at some unconscious level
we may very well be using this device specifically as an evolutionary
tool with which to control our expression and experience—an
evolutionary driver, as futurist and visionary Barbara Marx Hubbard
would view it, calling forth, out of necessity, our ability to know
ourselves as Divine within a space that is, presumably, at the human
level, very “unDivine.”
It’s said that necessity is the mother of invention. Yet in order
for us to invent, it is necessar y for us to create necessity. And if what
we want to do is re-invent ourselves —or, if you please, recreate
ourselves anew in the next grandest version of the greatest vision
ever we held about Who We Are—we would have to collectivelyproduce circumstances allowing us... indeed, requiring  us... to do
so.
And so, it’s not a surprise to me that humanity has allow ed its
exterior experie nce in the world at large to appear to be totally out of
control. Yet we are now doing this in such a way that, if we are not
careful, we could lose control of our “out-of-control-ness.” This is not
unlike losing control of a controlled fire.
Now that doesn’t mean it has to continue this way forever. I
believe we’re going to go to the next level soon. In the next 50 to 100
years we’re going to go to the level where we allow chaos to
continue to be part of our outward experience, but not at such a level
that it eliminates the possib ility of our outward experience itself
continuing.
The fact that we are now allowing our deliberately, if
unconsciously, created chaos to actually threaten our own ability to
survive in the physical is a simple reflection of our immaturity as a
species. We don’t know how to use the tool. So, in a sense, we’re
like children playing with matches. And the fire we have started is
threatening to get away from us.
But deeply wise and very mature species of sentient beings
have learned how to contain the chaos without retaining the danger
of self-a nnihilation as a result of it—and that’s the direction in which
we are headed now. Such highly evolved beings have learned the art
of Creative Chaos. Not unlike a juggler, who throws plates in the air
deliberately, but never drops one.

DR. COOPER: So, another question... something that I believe
everyone reading this will want to hear your thoughts on, Neale. Itmay just be the most pressing question facing humanity at this time
in our species’ evolution. How hopeful are you that humanity will turn
things around before our planet becomes unsustainable to live on?

NEALE: If we don’t make some very important and significant and
dramatic alterations and changes, it will be without question
impossible for this species to continue in the ways it has been living.
We’re dropping plates all over the place. And it may be almost
impossible for us to continu e living at all in this environment. Too
much broken glass.
So if necessity is the mother of invention, life as we now know
it, in our prese nt environment, will probably be dramatically changed
and altered for the better in the next 40 to 50 years. Indeed, it will
have  to be, if human ity is to continue in its present expression on the
Earth.
I mean, we don’t even have enough water!  They’re already
trying to figure out how to live in California without water. They’re
crying for help.
We use purified, clean wate r out of our taps, that has been
filtered by the city, or some other system, and we wash cars with it.
We take the hose and we wash down our driveway with drinking
water. And we are beginning to realize that we don’t have enough
drinking water to do that.
Right now in California they recently passed a new regulation
that you may not use purified water to wash down your driveway, to
water your lawn, or to clean your car. You may not use purified
drinking water. Go down to the ocean and get some salt water that
you can’t drink. Fair enough. But don’t let us catch you using thewater that people are trying to preserve to drink, because we can no
longer af ford to do that.
That’ s just one of one hund red and fifty areas of life that will
really be dram atically change d in the next half century. I hold out the
hope that significant change s in all of our self-defeating  behaviors
are possible. I observe that maturity and growth in a species are
exponential processes. That is, they don’t proceed along a 1-2-3-4-5
path, they proceed on a 2-4-8-16-32 basis, with that kind of ratio.
We could, in fact, before that fifty-year span is over—in fact,
considerably before that span is over—reach the level of spiritual and
emotional maturity to turn certain behaviors around. To stop
conducting underground nuclear tests, for instance, and other
activities that shift the tectonic plates such that we have earthquakes
someplace every 45 hours.
I’m sitting here now in the state of Oklahoma as I’m talking to
you, and the state government here made a shocking announcement
two weeks ago. The people of Oklahoma, half of them, could hardly
believe it. The state government publicly admitted that two things are
true in Oklahoma.  First, that there has been a 360 percent increase
in the number of shakes, temblors, and earthquakes in Oklahoma in
the past eight years. And second, that the reason  for it is the amount
of fracking and drilling that takes place in Oklahoma as we seek to
harvest the oil beneath the earth.
The State Governor said, in essence, Okay, we get it. WE are
causing the problem. And the government of Texas may be very close
to being able to acknowledge that as well. It’s just a question of what
we are able to look at honestly, to acknowledge in ourselves with
regard to our own behaviors.It’s one thing for the government to acknowledge it, and quite
another thing for the man on the street, the average person, to admit
it. Yet in the next 20 or 30 years


HTV. This French professor isolated the claimed virus that was sup posed to have inhibited the immune system. He
sent samples of the virus to Robert Gallo in America, who was also working on a method for isolation and testing of
an AIDS v irus in the body. Dr. Gallo later applied for a patent on a test kit. The French government started legal
proceedings to claim its rights for the discov ery of the virus. Eventually and after much legal hassle, the two parties
agreed to share a portion of the proceeds fro m the marketing of the test kit. The rest of the proceeds go to further
research of AIDS. But the French would not remain quiet and forced further investigations into the allegations of
scientific im propriety. After a more thorough scrutiny, it has now been conceded that Dr. Gallo had initially used the
French sam ple for his patent.
Professor Mon tagnier seems to have reversed his original views and now claims the virus not to be of primary
importance in AIDS.  The newspaper interview indicates that the professor now accepts the possibility of AIDS
having other causes. He seems to ackn owledge the possible existence of AIDS even without the presence of HIV.
The professor must have come across com pelling arguments that deny HIV as the culprit and the single cause of all
the group of diseases classified under AIDS.  A drastic cha nge has taken place in Professor Montagnier's thinking.
Professor Duesberg, who had researched the actual com position of the virus—at the same time as others were
believing in its disease-producing properties—had announced the virus incapable of causing AIDS.  There weremany debates, but his arguments did not cut any ice with the established group busy with AIDS viral research in
America and in Europe. He could not offer an alternative scientific explanation on the cause of the diseases
grouped together under AIDS o ther than saying the disease is not caused by a virus. The researchers in this field
were looking for plausible scientific ideas to find a solution to the problem. A sta tement to the effect that AIDS is not
a viral disease was not enough. Scie ntific re asons which point in another direction should have accompanied the
negation of HIV as the cause of the disease.
I wrote to Dr. Manfred Eigen, a most eminent DNA research scientist from Max-Pl anck Institute in Germany, o n 25
September 1989, and in defense of Duesberg sent him two of my articles presenting most of the views that wer e
published in the Foundation's Special AIDS Issue. Dr. Eigen had published an account of discussions between
AIDS v irus advocates and Duesberg in Natur Weiss enschafen. It seems Dr. Eigen was not convinced by Professor
Duesberg's views and had taken the side of the opposition. A few months later, Dr. Eigen sent me a letter that
showed he now re alized another plausible scientific view on the cause of AIDS d oes exist.
Now, all of a sudden in 1992, a new surge of activity with an alternative view of AIDS had gathered momentum with
both Professors Montagnier and Duesberg as leaders in the field.
In 1989,1 had sent these researchers a copy of our Special AIDS Issue of Science In Medicine Simplified (SMS)
from the Foundation for the Simple in Med icine (references 74 and 75), in the same way the Foundation freely
shares its views with most top researchers (a copy of the letter to Manfred Eigen was also sent to Professor
Duesberg). This special AIDS v olume was also sent to many medical libraries at universities engaged in AIDS
research. The detailed articles presented scientific explanations from which a synopsis has been given in the
preceding paragraphs.
In my article on the neurotransmitter histamine, first presented briefly at the 3rd Interscience World Conference on
Inflammation in 1989, and later published in 1990,1 also explained the immune suppressive actions of many of the
chemical agents that are generated as a result of stress in the human body. In this extensively distributed article, I
discussed some aspects o f AIDS a s a severe stress-induced "system disturbance," opposing the current view that it
is caused by a single particle, a virus.
This issue of SMS was also extensively distributed. Copies of the 1989 Special AIDS I ssue and 1990 issue of SMS
were also sent to Professor Philippe Lazar, the Director General of IINSERM  in France. INSERM  is the French
equivalent of the NIH in America. He was aske d to make the information contained in these issues of SMS available
to other interested scientists a t INSERM.
My research was progressing at the same time as new information on the critical roles of cysteine in the
manufacture of some DNA m aterials became available and published. It became completely clear and obvious to
me that AIDS w as a metabolic disorder, and the DNA/ RNA f ragments cla ssified as the different viruses o f AIDS
were themselves a product of cysteine shortage in the body.
With infinitely more detail than has been presented in this section, my m ost recent article, "AIDS:  The Dead-End of
Virus Etiology" was p ublished in the 1991 issue of SMS and distributed to many other scie ntists e ngaged in this field
of research.
It is a moral obligation of any dedicated scientist to share his or her new in formation with others engaged in the
research of a common topic, even before the subject is presented in scientific jou rnals. It is also a moral obligation
of those who receive the information to give credit to the person who  has generated and shared the information.
A news headline in Le Mo nde of 9 August 1991 re flected a hea ted fight between  Bruno Durie ux, the Min ister of
Health of France and Professor Albert German, President of the National Aca demy of Pharmacy of France. The
minister had demanded the dismissal of the professor. The professor had, in an address, given the opinion that
AIDS is caused as a result of a particular life style. The professor's opinion had become a hot issue among the
different social groups. Thus the wrath of the minister and the demand for his dismissal. No occasion lends itself
better to the introduction of an explosive opinion than adding it as fuel to an already established quarrel. The letter
printed in the next page was sent to M. Br uno Durieux, Minister of He alth of France, with a copy to Professor
German.

Excel lence,
I have been exposed to the topic of your discussion about the views of Professor Albert German on AIDS, r eflected
in Le Monde, 9 August 1991. I thought it my responsibility to bring to your attention the final result of our very
extensive research into the etiology of AIDS. Our research seems to produce physiologic / metabolic explanations
that support the views o f professor German. I have pleasure in enclosing a copy of our recent article, "AIDS: T he
Dead-End of Virus Et iology." The article explains details that have been ignored by those who wish to force asolution to the problem through viral research - a total waste of public funds. Yo u are welcome to have the article
photocopied and reviewed by any numbe r of your scientists who do not demonstrate a blind bias toward viral
research. If more information is needed, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,

Enclosure: Article, AIDS: T he Dead-End of Virus Etiology. Copy, Professor Albert German.
I sincerely hope that the free sharing of my researched views on AIDS h as in some way been instrumental in getting
others to think about the relationship of this disease condition to an abnormal physiology that becomes ultimately
established as a result of "stresses associa ted with a particular life style," or "severe malnutrition in less fortunate
societies." The children in Romania that were the subject of many te levision programs m ost probably did not get
AIDS from blood contamination; they more than likely developed AIDS a s a result of malnutrition.
Another point that needs to be discussed is the value of the AIDS test as an indicator of a disease in the process of
development. Although everyone is led to believe this, it is in my opinion an erroneous representation of a different
truth. All this test sh ows is that the body has com e across this antigenic particle and has registered its str ucture. It
also means the body has kept the existence of this particle/virus in its memory-bank to manufacture a defense
mechanism against the "foreign particle," not necessar ily a particle from outside, but a particle that the body itself
should not make—a form of quality con trol at the "DNA a ssembly line." Thi s test is ultimately an indicator of a body's
amino acid metabolism disturbance, and not an indicator of a loose killer virus in the body. The number of test
positive cases who become HIV negative are too many to be ignored.
It has been shown in laboratory experiments that if cysteine is added to a culture medium that is growing cells for
virus production, these cells will not manufacture the "virus." In a medium with sufficient cyste
