, eating raw meat a nd
fish can be a dicey propositi on, both for reasons of cultural sensibility (people think it is disgusting) and because there may be
living parasites in uncooked flesh that can attack, sicken and even kill people. It has been argued that a healthy stomach co ntaining
its proper degree of  acidity provides an impenetrable barrier to parasites. Perhaps. But how many of us are that healthy these days?
Cooked flesh and fish seems more delicious to our refined, civilized sensibilities, but are a poor food.
In my household we have no moral obje ction to eating meat. We do have an ethical objection in that meat eating does not
contribute to our health. But still, we do eat it. A few times a year, for traditional celebrations we may invite the childre n over and
cook a turkey. A few times for Thanks giving when the children were going through their holier -than-thou vegetarian stage, I
purchased the largest, thickest porterhouse steak I could find at the natural meat store and ate it medium -rare, with relish. It was
delicious. It made me feel full for hours and hours and hours. I stayed flat on the couch and groggily worked on digesting it all
evening. After that I'd had enough of meat to last for six months.
When milk is pasteurized, the proteins in it are also altered in structure. Not so severely as  egg white is altered by cooking because
pasteurization happens at a lower temperature. But altered none the less. And made less digestible. Pasteurizing also makes m ilk
calcium far less assimilable. That's ironic because so many people are drinking milk b ecause they fear they need more calcium to
avoid osteoporosis and to give their children good teeth. What pasteurized milk actually does to their children is make them
calcium deficient and makes the children toxic, provoking many colds, ear infections, si nusitis, inflammations of the tonsils and
lung infections, and, induces an allergy to milk in the children.

The Development Of Allergies
There are three ways a body can become allergic. (1) It can have a genetic predisposition for a specific allergy to s tart with. (2) It
can be repeatedly exposed to an irritating substance such as pollen when, at the same time, the body's mechanism for dealing with
irritations is weakened. Generally weak adrenals causes this because the adrenal's job is to produce hormone s that reduce
inflammation. Once the irritating substance succeeds at producing a significant inflammation, a secondary reaction may be set  up,
called an allergy. Once established, an allergy is very hard to get rid of.
(3) in a way very similar to the sec ond, but instead of being irritated by an external substance, it is irritated by repeatedly failing to
properly, fully digest something. Pasteurized milk for example, basically impossible to completely digest even in its low -fat form,
often sets up an alle rgy that applies to other forms of cows milk, even raw, unpasteurized cows milk or yogurt. Eating too much
white flour can eventually set off a wheat allergy. My husband developed a severe allergy to barley after drinking too much h ome-
brewed beer; he also  became highly intolerant to alcohol. Now he has allergic reactions to both alcohol and barley. And gets far
sicker from drinking beer (two separate allergies) than from wheat beer, hard liquor or wine (only one allergy).
Eating too much of any single foo d, or repeatedly eating too much of an otherwise very good food at one time, can eventually
overwhelm the body's ability to digest it fully. Then, the finest whole food products may set up an allergic reaction. Worse,  this
allergic reaction itself subseque ntly prevents proper digestion even when only moderate quantities are eaten.
An allergy may not be recognized as an allergy because it may not manifest as the instant skin rash or stuffy nose or swollen
glands or sticky eyes. that people usually think of when they think "allergic reaction." Food allergies can cause many kinds of
symptoms, from sinusitis to psychosis, from asthma to arthritis, from hyperactivity to depression, insomnia to narcolepsy –and
commonly the symptoms don't manifest immediately after  eating. Frequently, allergic reactions are so low grade as to be
unnoticeable and may not produce an observable condition until many years of their grinding down the vital force has passed.
When the condition finally appears it is hard to associate it wit h some food that has been consumed for years, apparently with
impunity.
Thus it is that many North Americans have developed allergies to wheat, dairy, soy products (because many soy foods are very
hard to digest), corn and eggs. These are such common, wide spread, frequently found allergies that anyone considering a dietary
cause of their complaints might just cut all these foods out of the diet for a few weeks just to see what happens. And indivi duals
may be allergic to anything from broccoli to bacon, stra wberries to bean sprouts. Unraveling food allergies sometimes requires the
deductions of a Sherlock Holmes.
However, food allergies are very easy to cure if you can get the suffered to take the medicine. Inevitably, allergic reaction s vanish
in about five days of abstinence. Anyone with sufficient self -discipline to water fast for five days can cure themselves of all food
allergies at one step. Then, by a controlled, gradual reintroduction of foods, they can discover which individual items cause
trouble. Se e Coca's Pulse Test in the Appendix where you'll find step -by-step instructions for allergy testing that are less rigorous,
not requiring a preliminary fast.

Flour, And Other Matters Relating To Seeds
One of the largest degradations to human health was ca used by the roller mill. This apparently profitable machine permitted the
miller to efficiently separate wheat flour into three components: bran, germ and endosperm. Since bread made without bran and
germ is lighter and appears more "upper class" it became  instantly popular. Flour without germ and bran also had an industrial
application –it could be stored virtually forever without being infested by insects because white flour does not contain enough
nutrition to support life. Most health conscious people ar e aware that white flour products won't support healthful human life
either.
Essentially, white flour's effect on humans is another demonstration of Health = Nutrition / Calories. When the bran and germ  are
discarded, remaining are the calories and much o f the protein, lacking are many vitamins and minerals and other vital nutritional
substances.
Whole wheat bread has been called the staff of life. In ages past, healthy cultures have made bread the predominant staple in  their
diet. Does that mean you can just go to the bakery and buy whole grain bread, or go to the health food store and buy organically
grown whole wheat flour, bake your own, and be as healthy as the ancients? Sorry, the answer is almost certainly no. There ar e
pitfalls, many of them, waiti ng for the unwary.
White flour has one other advantage over whole wheat flour. It not only remains free of insect infestation, it doesn't become  stale
(meaning rancid). In the wheat germ (where the embryo resides) there is considerable oil, containing amon g other things, about the
best natural source of vitamin E. This oil is highly unsaturated and once the seed is ground the oil goes rancid in a matter of days.
Whole wheat flour kept on the unrefrigerated shelf of the store is almost certainly rancid. A lo t of its other vitamin content has
been oxidized too. If the wheat flour had flowed directly from the grinder into an airtight sack and from there directly to t he
freezer, if it had been flash frozen and kept extremely cold, it might have a storage life of  some months. Of course that was not the
case. Maybe you're lucky and your health food store is one of the very few that has its own small -scale flour mill and grinds daily.
Probably not.
How about your baker's whole wheat bread? Where does the baker get flour? From the wholesaler's or distributor's warehouse! In
fifty pound kraftpaper sacks! How much time had elapsed from milling to wholesaler to baker to baking? The answer has to be i n
the order of magnitude of weeks. And it might be months. Was the flou r stored frozen? Or airtight? Of course not.
If you want bread made from freshly ground flour you are almost certainly have to grind and bake it yourself. Is it worth the
trouble? You bet. Once you've tasted real bread you'll instantly see by comparison wh at stale, rancid whole wheat flour tastes like.
Freshly ground flour makes bread that can be the staff of life and can enormously upgrade your health –if the wheat you use is any
good.
But before we talk about wheat quality, a more few words of warning. If you think wheat goes rancid rapidly, rye is even worse.
Rye flour goes bad so fast that when you buy it in the store it usually is the rye equivalent of white wheat flour. The germ has been
removed. The bag may not say so. But it probably has. If you are g oing to make rye breads, even more reason to grind your own.
Corn meal from the grocery store has usually been degerminated too. If it hasn


 Attraction to bring you fear and scarcity.
If st ress thoughts are tipping the scale, that’ s what the Law of Attraction
brings. Remember: Y ou become what you think about!  If you’re thinking
scarcity or anger or fear, guess what? That’ s what the Law of Attraction
attracts! Even with a well-balanced schedule that allows for mo re free time,
and even with plenty of stress-reducing activities on your pared-down
personal calenda r, if you fail to align your thoughts with the suc cess you’re
capable of attracting, the weight  of the dominant thoughts will tip the scale
away from a bal anced life. How you live your daily life will remain out ofbalance, and you’ll have failed to assimilate the essence of Gandhi’ s advice
that there is more to life than “increasing its speed.”
What yo u most need to learn is how to create a match between what it is
that you  desire in your life, and what thoughts, or vibrational ener gy, you’re
choosing to attract those desires.
Realigning Your Point of Attraction: The Art of
Becoming
Here’ s one of m y favorite quotes from my teacher in India, Nis ar gadatta
Maharaj:
There is nothing to do. Just be.
Do nothing. Be.
No climbing mountains and sitting in caves.
I do not even say “be yourself”
since you do not know yourself.
Just be.
This idea may c ontradict everything you’ve been taught and how you’ve
lived so far, but let it sink in any way. If your lifetime inventory of ideas and
rules has contributed to your being one of those 112 million who use
medication to handle nonexis tent stress, you can certainly af ford to
entertain this thought. As you begin practicing the principles to realign with
a vibrat ion that matches your desire for a tranquil, peaceful life, you’ll
become more conscious of your  thoughts. These thoughts of yo urs literally
determine who you are. And the fact that you’re reading these wordssuggests that you’re intereste d in becoming more conscious of your
thoughts.
Being  and becoming  are use d synonymously here. I n order to restore a
sense of  balance  between your d esire for tranquility and your de sire to meet
the requirements of your life, you must practice becoming,  and being  the
vibration that you desire.
— BEING PEACE:  Pea ce isn’ t something that you  ultimately receive
when you slow down the pace o f your life. Peace is what you’re capable of
being and bringing to every encounter and event in the waking moments of
your life. Most of us are wagin g a nonstop internal mental sk irmish with
everyone we encounter. Being peaceful is an inner attitude th at you can
enjoy when you’ve learned to s ilence your incessant inner dialogue. Being
peaceful isn’ t dependent on wha t your surroundings look like. It  seldom has
anything to do with what the people around you think, say, or do. A
noiseless environment isn’ t a requirement.
St. F rancis’ s famous prayer sta tes it better than I can: “Make me an
instrument of thy peace.” In other words, St. Francis wasn’ t asking God to
provide him with peace. He wa s asking for guidance to be more like the
peace he trusted was his Source. Being peace  is dif ferent from looking for
peace.
This principle isn’ t about merely choosing tranquil thoughts when you’re
feeling frayed and anxious. I suggest picturing a container deep within
yourself out of w hich all your thoughts flow. Inside of this con tainer, at its
very cen ter, ima gine a candle fl ame. Y ou need to make a commitment that
this flame in the  center of the container holding all of your th oughts will
never, ever even flicker, although the very worst may go before you. This is
your container of peace, and only peaceful thoughts can fuel the burning
candle. Y ou don’ t need to chan ge your thoughts as much as you need to
learn to be an ener gy of peace lighting the way and attracting serene,
harmonious thoughts and beings. In this way, you’ll become a being of
peace.Obviously, you take this inner  receptacle with you wherever you go.
When people attempt to put som e kind of pressure on you, when you feel
overwhelmed, o r when situations arise that previously incited your distress
or bellicosity, you can immediately turn to your inner candle flame of peace
and see how to keep your light  glowing. This is being  the peace that you
wish for yourself. This is of ferin g a matching vibration to your desire to be
a tranquil and amicable being, rather than a person suf fering from the
disease of trying to make life g o faster. Y ou’ve already seen th e results of
that foll y, and you notice the sy mptoms of stress in virtually ev eryone you
meet.
As a being of peace, you make a huge impact on those around you. It’ s
almost i mpossible to be totally s tressed out in the presence of someone who
has opte d to be peace.  Peace is a higher and faster ener gy—when you’re
being peace, just your presence alone will often nullify the uneasiness and
tension in those around you. In fact, this state causes pheromones of
measurable ener gy to emanate from you. They af fect others, who become
more peaceful without even bein g aware of the transformation t aking place.
The secret of this principle for restoring balance to your life is: Be the peace
and harmony you desir e.  Y ou cannot get it from anything or anyone else.
So you’ re not ready to take Nis ar gadatta’ s profound advice and just be?
Then work at becoming  t hat  being with  the inner light of a steady candle
flame. Here are some exercises to initiate becoming and being peaceful:
Want the Peace You Desire for Yourself Even More
for Others
Practice giving peace away w herever you go by imagining that only
thoughts of peace are in the container within you. Of fer the se ener gies
wherever possib le. Become a p eacemaker with your fellow workers, your
family members, and especia lly those with whom you’re in a love
relationship. Leave your ego outside, where it can’ t extinguish your candle
flame. Then of fer someone with  whom you usually ar gue and make wrong
a ne w th ought f rom the light: Y ou’r e making a good point; I’l l think aboutthat.  Or Thanks for giving your opinion; I value what you have to say.
These statements may at first shock the recipient, but you know that you’re
practicing becoming a being of peace by giving away what you want.
Ask
Use the words of St. Francis to ask to become peace: Make me an
instrument of thy peace.  The  act of asking, even if you don’ t feel an answer
right away, will alter the balance toward becoming the peace that you
desire. Once you’ve asked, you’ll find that it is given more readily than you
may have suspected. This is a process of suspending your ego and allowing
the higher, more spiritually b ased ener gies to weigh in to ward your
becoming more balanced.
Slow Down
T ake your time. I ur ge you to  reproduce Ramakrishna’ s and Bertrand
Russell’ s quotes that are at the beginning of this chapter. Post them where
you constantly notice them and let them become a part of your being. Y our
work isn’ t terribly important... your worldly duties are n’ t terribly
important.... Make your first and primary priority in your life being in
balance with the Sour ce of Cr e ation.  B ecom e thoughtful in your slo wed-
down time, and invite the Divine to be known in your life. Being the peace
you desire means becoming a relaxed person whose balance point doesn’ t
attract anxiety and stress symptoms.
Make deliberate, conscious ef forts to slow yourself down by relaxing
your mind. T ake a little more tim e to enjoy your life here on this planet: Be
more co ntemplative by noticing the stars, the clouds, the rivers, the animals,
the rainstorms, and all of the natural world. And then extend the same
slowed-down lo ving ener gy to all people. Begin with your fam ily—take a
few extra hours to romp with yo ur children, to listen to their ideas, to readthem a story. Go for a walk wi th your most cherished loved o ne and say
how much you treasure him or her in your life.
Extend this slowed-down perspective outward at work, in your
community, and  even to stranger s. Make a deliberate ef fort to give someone
your pla ce in line rather than hurrying to be first. Become conscious of your
ef forts to become the peace yo u desire and to live in balance, even while
you’re driving. As you slow your thoughts down and decide to enjoy your
life more, bring your car to a stop at a yellow caution light rather than
speeding on through. Consciously drive at a relaxed pace rather than in


 as wholemeal or bread-making ﬂour.
Oats are high in proteins and nucleic acids, while the ﬁber (oat bran) is useful for binding and expelling surplus cholesterol from the
intestines. Barley has an even higher cholesterol-reducing effect and both oats and barley are superior to wheat. However, oats are
also rather high in gluten and easily cause the same problems as wheat in gluten-sensitive individuals. It may be no coincidence that
Scotland has the highest rate of multiple sclerosis as well as a diet traditionally high in oats in addition to vitamin D deﬁciency due to
lack of sunshine.

A lthough the Oxygen Advantage  program is perfectly safe for the vast
majority of people, part of the program includes powerful exercises that
simulate high-altitude training and would be similar to perfor ming high-
intensity exercise. Just as high-intensity exercise is suite d only to
individuals with  reasonably good health and fitness, those with any medical
issues should refrain from pra cticing any of the exercises th at simulate
high-altitude training. (These exercises include the Nose Unblocking
Exercise and any that simulate high-altitude training.)
If you are pregnant, this program is not suitable. For those w ith high
blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, type 1 diabetes, kidney disease,
depression, or cancer, it is advisable to practice only nasal breathing and the
more gentle exercises, including “Breathing Recovery” and “Breathe Light
to B reathe Right,” during rest a nd physical activity until these conditions
are resolved.
If yo u have any medical issues  then you should follow this program
only with the co nsent of your medical practitioner. For further i nformation,

I t h as been well d ocumented that those who live at higher altitud es tend to
live longer. The precise mechanism behind this is not known and could be a
result of several factors. Howe ver, one of the leading candidates for this
explanation is a reduced pressure of oxygen at higher altitudes.
Research is very clear that calorie restriction extends life span. But
another nutrient many of us do n’ t frequently consider is oxygen. Just as
excess calories can cause metabolic damage, excess oxyge n can also
prematurely damage your tissues through the generation of excess free
radicals. These are highly reac tive and destructive molecules  that cause
damage to the fats in your c ell membranes, proteins, and DNA. Free
radicals are generated by th e normal breakdown of oxygen during
metabolism. W e all create a certain amount of free radicals through the very
act o f br eathing, and incorporati ng breathing exercises designed  to maintain
a he althy breathing volume see ms to be an ef fective strategy to keep your
oxygen at an optimum level, and thus minimize free radical damage.
Additionally, alt itude training is a tactic many elite endurance  athletes
use to gain a com petitive edge. One way of tapping into your bo dy’ s natural
resources is to purposefully expose yourself to reduced oxygen intake for a
short period of time. This wi ll improve your blood’ s oxygen-carrying
capacity and also increases the maximum volume of oxygen that an athlete
can use, known as your VO 2  max.
Of cours e, most of us live our liv es close to sea level and do not achieve
this benefit. But there are simple strategies that will allow you to access the
benefits of living at a high altitude with reduced oxygen intake: keeping
your mouth closed while you are breathing and practicing the variousexercises outline d in this book. This is a challenge during intense exercise
due to air hunger, but this is w hen most of the benefit actual ly occurs. I
have personally  implemented the information in The Oxygen Advantage
during my high-intensity workouts. It took me several weeks to make the
transition to breathing through my nose the entire time, but once
accomplished, breathing became a far more ef ficient process for me.
Many may know that I am a major fan of using simple, inexpensive
lifestyle changes to avoid expensive and dangerous medications and
sur gery. The strategies in The Oxygen Advantage  a re tools that I  believe
should be included in your health habit arsenal. There simply are no
downsides that I can identify, a nd there are massive upsides. I personally
use this program and would stro ngly encourage you to apply it  in your life
so you can reap the rewards.I N T R O D U C T I O N

W e c an live witho ut food for wee ks and water for days, but air for just a
few brief minutes. While we sp end a great deal of time and attention on
what we eat and  drink, we pay practically no attention to the air  we breathe.
It is com mon kn owledge that our daily consumption of food and water must
be of a certain quality and quantity. T oo much or too little spells trouble. W e
also reco gnize the importance of breathing good-quality air, but what about
the quantity? How much air should we breathe for optimum health?
W ouldn’ t it be fair to surmise that air, even more important t han food or
water for human survival, must also meet basic requirements?
The quantity of the air you breathe has the potential to transform
everything you thought you kne w about your body, your health, and your
performance, wh ether you’re a “ pre-athlete” just trying to get of f the couch,
a w eekend warrior running an occasional 10K, or a profession al athlete in
need of a game-changing edge over your competition.
Y ou ma y wonde r what I mean by quantity. After all, air isn’ t exactly
something you can binge on at  the kitchen table late at night, or take too
many swigs of over the weeken d. But what if, in a certain se nse, it was?

Many people intensely dread missing even one meal. These folks usually are
and have been so toxic that their bodies had been stashing uneliminated toxins intheir fat for years. They are usually so addicted to caffeine, cigarettes, alcohol,and so forth, that when they had fasted, even briefly, their bodies were forced todip into highly-polluted fat reserves while simultaneously the body beginswithdrawal. People like this who try to fast experience highly unpleasantsymptoms including headache, irritability, inability to think or concentrate, blurredvision, profound fatigue, aches, etc. Most of these symptoms come from lowblood sugar, but combined with the toxins being released from fat and combinedwith going through multiple addictive withdrawals, the discomforts are more thanmost people are willing to tolerate. Fasting on juice is much more realistic forcases like this. It is little wonder that when a hygienist suggests a fast to improvehealth, this type of case asserts positively that fasting is quite impossible, they havetried it, it is absolutely terrible and know that they can’t do it.
This rejection is partly due to a cultural expectation (one reinforced by western
medicine) that all unpleasant symptoms should be avoided or suppressed. Tovoluntarily experience unpleasant sensations such as those mentioned above ismore than the ordinary timid person will subject themselves to, even in order toregain health. They will allow surgery, drugs with violent and dangerous sideeffects, painful and invasive testing procedures and radiation—all unpleasant andsometimes extremely uncomfortable. These therapies are accepted becausesomeone else with authority is doing it to them. And, they have been told that itthey don’t submit they will not ever feel better and probably will die in the nearfuture. Also people think that they have no alternative, that the expert in front of
them knows what is best, so they feel relieved to have been relieved of the
responsibility for their own condition and its treatment.
Preventative Fasting
During the years it takes for a body to degenerate enough to prompt a fast, the
body has been storing up large quantities of unprocessed toxins in the cells,tissues, fat deposits, and organs. The body in its wisdom will always choose totemporarily deposit overwhelming amounts of toxins somewhere harmless ratherthan either permit the blood supply to become polluted or to use secondaryelimination routes. A body will use occasions when the liver is less burdened toeliminate these stored toxic debris. The hygienist’s paradigm asserts that themanifestation of symptoms or illness are all by themselves, absolute, unassailableproof that further storage of toxic wastes in the cells, tissues, fat deposits, andorgans is not possible and that an effort toward elimination is absolutelynecessary. Thus the first time a person fasts a great quantity of toxins will normallybe released. Being the resident of a body when this is happening can be quiteuncomfortable. For this reason alone, preventative fasting is a very wise idea.
Before the body becomes critically ill, clean up your reserve fuel supply (fat
deposits) by burning off some accumulated fat that is rich in toxic deposits andthen replace it with clean, non-toxic fat that you will make while eating sensibly. Ifyou had but fasted prophylactically as a preventative or health-creating measurebefore you became seriously ill, the initial detoxification of your body could havebeen accomplished far more comfortably, while you were healthy, while your vitalforce was high and while your body otherwise more able to deal withdetoxification.
Each time you fast, even if it is only one day, you allow your body to go
through a partial detox, and each time it becomes easier and more comfortablethan the last time. The body learns how to fast. Each time you fast it, your bodyslips into a cleansing mode more quickly, and each time you fast you lighten the
load of stored toxins. Perhaps you have already eliminated the caffeine your body
had stored, which frequently causes severe headaches on withdrawal, not tomention fatigue. It certainly helps to have this behind you before you go on to theelimination of other irritating substances. Many people have gone through alcoholor tobacco withdrawal, and understand that it is very unpleasant, and also that itmust be done in the pursuit of health. Why not withdraw from the rest of theirritating and debilitating substances we take into our system on an ongoing basis,and why not grit your way through the eliminative process, withdraw, from foodaddictions such as sugar or salt, and from foods that you may be allergic to likewheat, dairy products or eggs.
It is very wise to invest in your own insurance plan by systematically
detoxifying while you are still healthy. Plan it into your life, when it is convenient,such as once a week on Sunday, or even once a month on a quiet day. Take afew days of vacation, go to a warm, beautiful place and devote part or all of it tocleansing. Treat yourself by taking an annual trip to Hawaii, fasting at a hotel onthe beach—do whatever it takes to motivate yourself. And consider this:vacations are enormously cheaper when you stay out of restaurants.
If you have accustomed your body to 24 hour fasts, then you can work on 48
hour fasts, and over time work up to 72 hour fasts, all on a continuum. You mayfind it becoming increasingly comfortable, perhaps even pleasant, something youlook forward to. Fasting a relatively detoxified body feels good, and peopleeventually really get into the clean, light, clear headed, perhaps spiritually awarestate that goes along with it.
By contrast, fasting when you are sick is much more difficult because your
vitality or vital force is very low, you already have no energy, and probably haveunpleasant symptoms that must be dealt with at the same time. There may be theadded stress of being forced into a cleanse because you are too nauseous to eat.Most people let their health go until they are forced into dealing with it; they aretoo busy living, so why bother.
The truth is that our body does age, and over time becomes less able to deal
with insults; the accumulated effect of insults and aging eventually leads most of usto some serious degenerative illness. Normally this begins happening around age50 if not sooner. Some of us that were gifted with good genes or what I call “agood start” may have reached the age of 60 or 75 or even 90 without seriousillness, but those people are few and far between. Why not tip the scales in yourfavor by preventing or staving off health problems with systematic detoxification atyour own convenience.
Climb into the drivers seat and start to take control and gain confidence in
your own ability to deal with your body, your own health, and your own life.When it gets right down to the bottom line, there is really only one thing in theworld that is really yours, and that is your life. Take control and start managing it.The reward will be a more qualitative life.
Chapter Four
Colon Cleansing
From The Hygienic Dictionary
Autointoxication. [1] the accumulations on the bowel wall become a breeding ground for unhealthy
bacterial life forms. The heavy mucus coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host forputrefaction. The blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the toxins, poisons and noxiousdebris as it seeps through the bowel wall. All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on toxicsubstances. Here is the beginning of true autointoxication on a physiological level. Bernard Jensen,Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management.  [2] All maladies are due to the lack of certain food
principles, such as mineral salts or vitamins, or to the absence of the normal defenses of the body,such as the natural protective flora.

I am not a true believer in any single healing method or system. I find much
truth in many schools and use a wide variety of techniques. The word for myinclination is eclectic.
The most effective medicine in my arsenal is water fasting followed closely in
potency by other, less rigorous detoxifying diets. Colon cleansing ranks next inhealing power. In fact it is difficult to separate colon cleansing from fastingbecause detoxification programs should always be accompanied by coloncleansing. Further down the scale of efficatiousness comes dietary reform to
eliminate allergic reactions and to present the body with foods it is capable of
digesting without creating toxemia. Last, and usually least in effectiveness in myarsenal, are orthotropic substances (in the form of little pills and capsules)commonly known as vitamins or food supplements.
Interestingly, acceptance of these methods by my clients runs in exact
opposition to their effectiveness. People prefer taking vitamins because they seemlike the allopaths’ pills, taking pills demands


 was playing it rather cool.‖ Brenner told Molinari that in his letter to Dr. Ransohoff, he wrote,
―Three of your patients were here, and I did CAT scans on them. They gave me histories that they had
malignant brain tumors. Could you give me the information as to whether they really know what‘s wrong
with them?‖
Brenner testified, ―He sent me a letter. The opening sentence is ‗Wow! This is amazing. Keep in touch
with me.‘ ‖   254
 A couple of weeks later a physician came to Brenner for a diagnostic work up and eventually found out
he had a highly malignant brain tumor. Brenner sent him to Ransohoff. After a couple of weeks,
Brenner called Ransohoff, ― What do you think about him going to Revici? He said, ‗I agree totally. I‘ll
cooperate in any way I can. Don‘t use my name.‘ ―
Seven years after Brenner‘s testimony, Ransohoff confirmed Brenner‘s account, ―I probably did write
that, if he said I did.‖ He  went on to say, ―If Dr. Brenner has documented that some of these people
that he has shown me the films on that they were malignant tumors, and the patients were doing very
well, that‘s very unusual.‖
Ransohoff said he would never discourage anyone from  going to see Revici:
I would never say Revici isn‘t on to something that was part of a whole new area that‘s
much more respected …. I‘ve always told my patients if we‘ve exhausted what we can do
with standard techniques, it can‘t hurt you if you want to see Revici. Go ahead.
Dr. Brenner also presented his proposal for a major study of Revici‘s method at the Molinari hearing
[See Foreword]. He said federal government approval was needed to begin the study, because the five
doctors who would be on the pane l would participate only under those conditions.
Gary Null testified about his own experience in investigating Revici‘s work:
―I tracked down over 200 of Dr. Revici‘s cases. I studied this man‘s work for 15 years. I
refused to write an article about him  for ten years until I had absolute proof from my own
investigation that [these] patients had cancer … it was his treatment that put them into
remission, and they were alive and well ten years later.
―Those were the standards I chose before I even announced him to my radio audience. So
it‘s not as if [I‘m] someone just running around saying, ‗Let‘s get on the bandwagon.‘ ‖
Dr. Revici also testified. His testimony came while his license revocation was u nder consideration by
the state of New York. From Revici‘s testimony we have yet another indication of his relentless pursuit
of medical breakthroughs, regardless of his personal circumstances:
―I found a method to determine the electrical charge of atoms  in the molecule, and I
found two atoms with the same electrical charge bound together. I called them twin
formations, and published.
―I looked in the entire literature, and found only one word about it: [Nobel laureate Linus]
Pauling telling that this is  impossible — it would break the molecule.
―…I went to San Francisco and saw Pauling. I showed him  255
 hundreds of different twins, and their importance, because in the treatment I now make,
not only in cancer but in general, I utilize largely this concept, because these substances,
as I showed, have specific energetic activity.‖
Gary Null was an eyewitness to the meeting between the two scientific titans. According to Null, after a
lengthy discussion  regarding twin formations, Pauling suddenly sat back, adjusted his famous beret and
remarked, ―You are now out of my league.‖
Revici also briefly mentioned another particular area of his more recent research. He had started to
identify the relationship between specific metals bound to lipids and their associated diseases. He
called these discoveries ―Profiles‖. Revici told the la rge audience that these Profiles,
―…determine for each disease which lipidic element is in charge. [W]e are starting to
determine for each individual the specific element involved in deficiency or excess, [in
order] to treat him accordingly.‖
That work could be yet another huge advance in the treatment of a variety of diseases. Regardless of
the forum, Revici‘s focus has remained the same. Although the purpose of the hearing was to put on
the record a few of Revici‘s accomplishments, the inveterate resea rcher couldn‘t resist the temptation to
share his most recent discoveries. For eight decades his efforts have been directed to helping us feel
better when we are sick. His efforts have paid off, even if they have remained largely unknown. In the
next secti on you will see how a few of them can be directly applied.   256

 Part V — Where Do We Go From Here
33. Taking Advantage of Dr. Revici’s Research
“Dr. Revici‟s work is an excellent example of advances in medicine that are far beyond the scope of
orthodox medicine.”
Dr. Robert Atkins, March 18, 1988
Most of Dr. Revici‘s medicines are made from lipids. The source for many of these products are foods.
His medicines are often made by isolating either a catabolic or anabolic lipid from a particular
substance such as salm on oil or sesame oil in his laboratory. Because his medicines are made from
isolated constituents of the original source, they are quite powerful and should only be taken while
under the care of a physician who is knowledgeable about their administration.
That does not mean we must be sick with cancer to benefit from some of Revici‘s discoveries.
Whether it is helping people select the right foods or track their own acid/alkaline balance, some of
Revici‘s findings can have practical applications for people  interested in monitoring their own
health.
According to Revici, most foods are either mildly catabolic or anabolic. Some foods — like cream,
chocolate, sugar and coffee — are strongly anabolic. Fried foods including any type of fried eggs,
preserved mea t and fish, fermented cheeses, and mayonnaise, are strongly catabolic. In the course of
his research, Revici has identified the catabolic and anabolic characteristics of about thirty different
types of foods. He has also noted the catabolic or anabolic cha racter of certain vitamins, minerals,
medications and other substances. That information might be helpful to readers who wish to choose
their foods, vitamins and minerals with an awareness of each one‘s catabolic or anabolic character.
This chapter provide s you with a list of some of those foods, vitamins and other substances.
Dr. Revici also comprised a list of symptoms that are often caused by either a catabolic or an anabolic
imbalance. That information is provided as well. While it should not be used f or self diagnosis, it could
provide useful feedback. It is possible to have symptoms from both sides of the list. Usually that occurs
when an imbalance at one level of biological organization (e.g. cytoplasmic) causes a defense reaction
at another level (s ystemic).
After examining the food lists below, you might find that your regular diet is composed heavily of either
anabolic or catabolic foods. As you review the list, remember that quantities count. If you eat foods from
both sides of the list but drin k lots of coffee, eat lots of sugar -laden foods, and eat ice cream every day,
don‘t mislead yourself into thinking your diet is balanced.   258
 There are several ways to determine if one is either catab olic or anabolic. One way is to experiment by
performing the coffee and soft -boiled egg test. Based both on the demonstration in which Dr. Dudley
Jackson experienced no reaction to either an alkaline or an acid drink, and Revici‘s own experience
with patie nts, a healthy person probably would not notice any significant difference after eating a
soft-boiled egg and drinking a cup of coffee. But people who are out of balance might feel either better
or worse. Remember, feeling noticeably better is as much an i ndication of an imbalance as feeling
worse, according to Revici‘s theory.
If you really want to spike your coffee with anabolic foods, add lots of sugar and cream — not milk or
creamers from a jar — to the coffee. Be sure the egg is soft boiled or poache d — not fried, because
fried foods are catabolic. It can be useful to keep a journal to note if there are changes in the way you
feel, including any aches and pains.
If you experience a significant increase in pain or a general feeling of unwellness, it could be an
indication that the reaction is the result of an anabolic condition. If, following the egg and coffee, you
notice a decrease in a pain you already had, that means the pain is catabolic in nature, according to Dr.
Revici. In either case you migh t want to observe how other foods affect you to see if their catabolic or
their anabolic nature produces similar effects. Continue to keep

by W alter Last
Sexuality and the various beneﬁts resulting from non-orgasmic sex can only be understood in the context of bio-energy or life-force,
also called prana, chi, ki, orgone, or od. We may see it as the innermost  aura around living objects or feel it as heat or tingling in our
body, especially when transferring energy as with 'laying on of hands' or Reiki, and most strongly during orgasm.
This energy circulates in our acupun cture meridian system and its vortex es form our chakra system. It is at the base of paranormal or
psychic phenomena, and is also the healing agent of many natural therapies. While bio-energy is still unknown to orthodox science
(except in astrophysics where it is called dark energy), it is an everyday experience of many sensitive individuals. Sexual energy is
highest in virgin teenagers, where related electrical activity can lead to static and interference with electric and electronic equipment.
As living organisms we are a dynamic bio-energy system. Our health and energy rely on a strong ﬂow of bio-energy into the chakra
system. From there the energy ﬂows through the acupuncture system into all the organs and tissues, and any surplus ﬂows out to
form the etheric aura around the body.
The sex chakra is our strongest bio-energy generator. In addition to providing a moderate stream of energy into the base chakra and
then up the spine into the brain, it also keeps the production of our sex hormones going. If this energy generator becomes weak, then
we lack vitality and may be close to a disease or to old age.
The problem now is this: if we let this energy generator deteriorate through poor nutrition or by blocking the ﬂow of sexual energy,
then our overall energy level deterior ates. If, on the other hand, we frequently use it with orgasmic sex, then we lose an inappropriate
amount of bio-energy, again resulting in a low energy level, in addition to the negative ef fects of strong hormone ﬂuctuations.
The logical solution is sufﬁcient use or stimulation of our sexual energy but without discharging it and without creating an energy
blockage. Ideally we produce a high amount of sexual energy and then channel it into the chakra and acupuncture system to keep us
young and healthy. This model lets us understand the frequent claims of practitioners of Tao and Karezza methods of love-making as
to the amazing health and rejuvenating ef fects that have been experienced.
Sex Perfection
Rudolf von Urban, a psychiatrist and psychologist, was originally associated with Sigmund Freud but, like Wilhelm Reich, later
immigrated to the United States. In 1952 he published Sex Perfection (Rider & Co) in which he relates experiences and insights that
led him to the conclusion that there is a bio-energetic potential difference between sexually charged males and females which
requires about half an hour to be exchanged and reach an equilibrium.
See also http://www.reuniting.info/sex_perfection_and_marital_happiness_von_urban.
Knowing that his colleagues would not take kindly to facts that contradict their theories, he waited for 30 years before publishing his
discoveries. In addition to Karezza he also related the following observat ions which we need to consider when formulating a theory of
sexual energy.
The Arabian Couple: The ﬁrst account is of a former patient, a medical doctor, and his young Arabian bride. After caressing naked for
about an hour without sexual contact in a dark room, he saw the body of his wife surrounded by a greenish-blue hazy light. Moving
his palm close to her breast a visible and audible electric spark jumped from the breast to the palm, causing some pain. Von
Reichenbach, a distinguished scientist, had previously described similar phenomena without being taken seriously by mainstream
scientists.
Following von Urban’ s suggestions the couple made a series of experim ents with the following results: when they caressed for an
hour and then had orgasmic interco urse lasting for less than 27 minutes, sparks still moved between them. However, if intercourse
after caressing lasted 27 minutes or longer, no more sparks would ﬂy. Furthermore, if they started intercourse immediately without
caressing, the woman would not emit a visible radiation, and no sparks would develop regardless of the length of the intercourse.
In addition, caressing followed by orgasmic intercourse lasting less than 27 minutes induced in both a strong desire to have more
sex. But if they acted on this with another brief intercourse, they both developed health problems afterwards, such as headaches,
asthma and heart-palpitations. Also after

ating structures in b can also be seen in the "A" zone,
ending at the edges where the small arches make con·
tact with each other.
This tumour contains a cavity with some air and has
an indentation in its inferior border (c). It is likely that
the indentation represents partial collapse of the sur
face of the tumour. Such collapse may cause the for
mation of what are here called lamellae, which arc seen
either at the surface or projected over the tumour as opaque thick lines (sec Section F on formation of
lamellae).
This case also illustrates the importance of radiogra
phic positioning of the patient for correct analysis of
structures. Oblique projections in this instance aided
differential diagnosis of the radiopacity here called the
"B" zone. Distinguishing a "B" zone from local plcu·
raJ thickening may be important clinically.

The "B" zone is a region of increased radiopacity
peripheral to the "A" zone. Its opadty is greater not
only than that of the "A'' zone but also than that of
normal lung. It often, but not always (see, e.g., Fig.
I: 2), extends from the periphery of the radiolucent
"A" zone to the pleura. /\ number of representative
examples will be reviewed.
In Fig. 111: I the "A" zone is very prominent, while
the "B" zone appears only as a rather discrete radiopa
city supcrolateral to the "A" zone. At the interface Fig. Ill: 12. Vanishing "B" zone after injection of.Ur into

The "A" zone around the small cc.ll carcinoma in Fig.

is also seen an irregular (5 x 1.5 em) radiopacity which

between the tumour surface and tl1is opacity (the "B"
zone) is here of decisive importan ce for the differentia l
diagnosis between a usn zone on the one hand, and
tumour, atelectasis, pleural thickening or broncho
pneumonia on the other.
Whenever the increased radiopacity extends to the
chest wall, thickening of the pleura becomes an alter
nate diagnostic possibility to a "B" zone, as in the

as in Fig. III: 9 a-c. A direct proof of the real character
of this type of radiopacity can be presented as follows:

seen in Fig. XVII: 7.
No pain, bleeding or other complications occurred
but the patient experienced "a sensation of heat some·
where inside" during the treatment.

TO When a treatment is successful by this method, the
tumour regresses slowly but apparently continuously.
The diminished size of the residual tumour in this
patient can be seen after one year, four months in Fig.
XVII: 5 c. Four years and one month after treatment
only a minimal scar remained (Fig. XVII: 50).
Case 2. This 32-year-old woman, who six years
earlier had had a malignant melanoma excised from
the skin of a breast, had another malignant melanoma
excised from her right leg. Shortly thereafter, a large
metastasis (40x30x30 mm) was excised from the right
frontal lobe of the brain. One month later a tumour, 2
em in diameter and of very low radiographic opacity,
was found in the lower lobe of the left lung (Fig.
XVII: 8 a). This tumour grew during two months of
treatment with different cytostatic agents (Dacarba·
zinum, OTIC, Vincristinum, and Oncovin).
Tbis solitary pulmonary metastasi s was then treated
with electrocoagulation. The screw electrode cannula
was secured to the tumour, as in the previous case.
Diathermy was applied and temperature at the surface
of the tumour was monitored (Fig. XVII: 8d) during
the continuous infusion of saline solution. A small
pneumothorax was found after the treatment but no
bleeding occurred.
After 2 months, the regressing tumour (Fig.
XVII: 8 b) is clearly more radiopaque than before elec
trocoagulation. The increase in density is most likely
caused by intratumoural accumulation of calcium. The
size of the tumour decreased further, as shown 8
months after the treatment (Fig. XVII: 8c).
Six weeks later, cerebral symptoms recurred as met·
astatic disease reappeared in the brain. She died short·
ly thereafter.
In the two patients with breast carci11oma and distant

of metastatic melanoma of low radiopacity (a) is followed by
a considerable increase in opacity of the tumour 60 days later
(b). 180 da)"' later(c), the tumour has clearly decreased in
metastases (Cases 9 and 10 in Table XVII: 1), the
breast rumours were treated with local electrocoagula·
tion. The diagnosis of each cancer was made by screw
needle biopsy.
The cell sampling for cytologic diagnosis and the
placement of the active electrode and temperature
probe in the mammary tumours were performed by
means of the stereot:ucic instrument previousl y de·
scribed (9, 43). The biopsies and treatment were c-•ch
performed under local anaesthesia. The indifferent
electrode was placed on the arm of the patient. The
treatments, each of which lasted about 30 minutes,
were well tolerated.

Is it not comical,  that  after  all the Magnificent  Work  the
Messengers  have  done,  the  Wonderful  Light  they  have
brought  to mankind,  there  are still  a few  who  cannot  help
but gossip?  Isn't  it comical?  It is not  serious,  not  at all;
but it shows  you  what  you  should  avoid.
I bring  this  point  to you  tonight,  for I think  it will  be of
great  assistance.  When  you  hear  of, or someone  expresses
some  destructive  or discordant  thing,  won't  you  be alert
and say silently:  There  is something  which  I must  avoid;
or I will  be reaping  the same  thing  he or she  is." It is a
marvelous  means  of prompting  yourself  to avoid  the things,
the destructive  qualities  acting,  which  you  see acting  in
others.
Remember,  another  thing:  every  one  who  expresses  dis-
cord  of any  kind—now  this  is concerning  the General  Law
of Life—is  but counter-acting  the Great  Light,  called  forth
to bring  Release  and  Freedom  to mankind.  Do  you  see
that?  Already  the  world  is weighted  down,  by human
creations  of discord  thruout  the  many  centuries.  Relief
must  come  now,  if mankind  is to survive.  We  are doing
everything  possible  to be done.  If you  do not think  We  are DISCOURSE  VIII  219
Truthful,  then  of course  you  have  lost  the Benefit  which
We try to give;  but  when  We  see from  Our  Unlimited
Standpoint,  your  Requirement,  won't  you  let Us help  you
to quickly  become  Free  from  every  limiting  thing?  We
are all right!  We  are  perfectly  safe,  but  I question  your
safety,  unless  you  are willing  to give  This  Obedience.
It is wonderful,  Beloved  Ones,  so very  wonderful  to come
to the point,  where  you  are alert  and  see the activities  about
you,  the effects  which  they  are producing  and  what  is act-
ing. Then,  you  will  always  be Master  of the situation;  but
the moment  something  can  sweep  you  into  some  kind  of
discord,  it has  its foot  on your  neck;  just  as definitely  as
you would  put  your  physical  foot  on the neck  of an Indi-
vidual,  and  you  know  what  that  means!  It means  you  are
under  its control  for the time  being.
This  is sufficient  for your  prompting.  Now  let us take  a
little  happier  consideration  in the achievement.  Will  you
listen  carefully  to Me,  while  I state  a few  things  which
should  mean  Everything  in the world  to you!  Let  Me  re-
mind  you,  of the beginning  of My Effort  in San  Francisco,
when  I attempted  to give  you  Greater  Assistance,  in the
consuming  of one-third  of your  own  accumulation  of the
centuries.  Sometimes,  you  expect  your  friends  to render
you a service  do you  not?  Sometimes  to do you  favors!
Well  do you  think  your  physical  friends  are as willing  to
render  you  a Service  as I was ? Let us think  deeply,  this  is
meaning  a Great  Deal.  I was  willing  to render  This  Service
for every  honest,  earnest,  sincere  "I AM"  Student,  which 220 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
I did!  I did My Part!  Then  came  the time,  when  another
one-third  was  consumed!  Do not feel,  I have  done  that  for
any one  who  has not been  willing  to give  the Obedience
required;  but the Great  Release  to those  who  have  obeyed,
is manifest  today  in their  Lives.
Now  has come  the Great  Astrea!  I question  the Wisdom,
tonight,  of stating  to you,  the number  of discarnates  who
have  been  taken  out of the Earth's  atmosphere  in the past
eight  months;  for We  have  a Record  of every  one.  Book-
keepers  and  accountants  in the physical  world  think  you
have  considerable  to do;  but  I tell  you,  the Records  We
are compelled  to keep  far surpass  yours;  and  believe  Me,
as accurate  as your  Records  are here,  so are Our  Records
accurate.  I shall  think  it over  and  perhaps,  give  you  in
definite  figures,  the  number  which  have  been  removed
from  the Earth  in the past  eight  months.
That  is why  all over  America,  the pressure  upon  Indi-
viduals  is so tremendously  less  today;  and  why  there  are
hundreds  of thousands  who  feel  it definitely.  This  does
not mean  just  the "I AM"  Students;  because  it has  taken
the pressure  from  thousands  and  thousands  of people  who
never  heard  of This  "I AM"  Activity;  but  THAT  is the
Service  which  must  be rendered  mankind.  People  who  are
relieved  from  the pressure  of their  relatives  and  friends  in
their  invisible  association,  are feeling  definitely  This  Great,
This  Tremendous  Release.
We are just  having  a little  resume,  tonight.  Think  of it,
the Beloved  Goddess  of Liberty,  was  the Great  Wisdom  and DISCOURSE  VIII  221
Power  which  gave  Washington  the Vision,  you  have  come
to know  so well—the  third  episode  of which,  We are trying
now  to prevent  acting  in your  Beloved  Country.  She,  in
Her Great  Wisdom,  saw  down  the centuries  what  would
affect  America;  and  thru  Mighty  Saint  Germain's  Great
and Wondrous  Activity,  is making  possible  to avoid  the
third  and  most  destructive  thing,  which  would  ever  over-
take the  Earth.  Because  it meant,  if that  should  be vic-
torious,  there  would  be no place  on the Earth  decent  for
mankind  to live.
My Dear  People,  My Dear  Beloved  Students  of the Light,
if you  knew  the conditions  which  exist  in Europe  and  the
Orient  today,  you  would  call  as never  before  in your  Life.
I tell  you,  you  have  not a fragmentary  idea  of the actual
conditions  which  exist  today.
Allow  Me to remind  you,  why  did Her  Great  Presence—
Her Great  Wisdom  in the final  closing  of Her  Vision  say,
to Washington:  "That  if necessary,  the Great  Light  as of
a Thousand  Suns"  would  descend  into  the Earth ? Because
Her Wisdom  saw  the wavering  attitude  of mankind.  Why
do you  suppose,  We have  been  so earnestly  endeavoring  to
bring  the Expansion  of the Light  in enough  of mankind
to a point,  where  We  could  positively  depend  on Indi-
viduals  standing  by the Light  of their  "I AM  Presence" ?
For the very  reason,  there  must  be some  correspondence,
must  be some  Means  of Direction  in the Octave  of Earth,
by which  the Great  Cosmic  Law  could  act.  It is why  and
how,  Beloved  Ones,  you  are acting  under  a Definite  Law 222 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
of Life  which  makes  no mistakes.  That  Life  is your  own

nose. While it may seem count erintuitive, this only exacerbates the nasal
obstruction. Further, it causes poor development of the airways and can
result in lifelong issues with breathing.
MOTIV ATING CHILDREN
In helping children and young people change their breathing habits, they
need to understand the importa nce of breathing through the nose. When I
work with young people, I ask them which reasons they consid er to be the
most important when it comes to breathing nasally. The most popular
replies tend to focus around athletic performance and the development of a
good-looking face. I find it best not to highlight the negative features of
mouth breathing when talking to children. Instead, I find they respond wellto hearin g about  the many bene fits of nasal breathing. The following ideas
may be helpful.
Nasal breathing makes you more intelligent:  Explain to your child
that intelligent people breathe  in and out through their noses. Nasal
breathing impro ves cognition, concentration, alertness, and energy levels
because it promotes better sleep and delivers more oxygen to the brain. This
helps your child focus better in class so learning will be easier and more
enjoyable.
Nasal breathing impr oves sports performance:  When children
habitually mouth breathe, they tend to quickly become breathless during
sports or physical exercise. This might make them reluctant to take part in
healthy activiti es they would otherwise enjoy. Professional athletes,
Olympians, Special Forces, and military personnel all use breathing
techniques from the Oxygen Advantage to improve their performance
during training.
Mouth breathing causes crooked teeth and bad breath:  No teenager
wants to have bad breath. Nasal breathing helps maintain a healthy mouth
and prevents smelly breath.3,60 It can also avert problems  in the
development of the face, such as narrow jaws, crooked, overcrowded teeth,
and small upper airways.
Breathing through the nose helps you sleep better and gives you
more energy:  Mouth breathing interferes with a good night’ s sleep, and
you will have less energy to enjoy life. Also, children who sleep poorly are
10 times more likely to develop learning dif ficulties.3
Mouth breathi ng is bad for postur e: Persistent mouth breathing
during early childhood can lead to changes in posture as the head is thrust
forward to optimize the oral airway. This, along with a tendency to breathe
into the upper chest, will have a knock-on effect on the stability of the
spine. These things may not be particularly motivating for children, but
parents will understand their importance.
Nasal breathing leads to good table manners:  If your child has a
blocked nose, he or she may have difficulty eating. Nasal conge stion makes
it tricky to coordinate breathing and swallowing, so the child may need to
stop chewing or chew faster to breathe through the mouth. Thisbreathlessness may look like bad table manners as the child sniffs and gulps
his way through each meal.61
In all cases, the best place to start is by encouraging nasal breathing
both day and night. Children under five years of age may find it difficult to
practice breathing exercises, so parents of young children must take
preventive action to avoid the factors that contribute to overbreathing.
Children tend to mirror their parents, even in their breathing habits. If you
tend to walk around the house with your mouth open, puffing and panting,
not paying attention to your breathing, your child will do the same. Equally,
a child will struggle to learn if everybody else in the house continues with
their own bad habits. I often see the behavior of parents interfering with the
progress of their children in this way. You need to lead by example. Only
then can you ensure success with breathing reeducation. Luck ily, this is a
win-win situation because everybody involved will enjoy the benefits.
Help your child understand what “breathing too much” means and that
overbreathing is what causes tiredness, wheezing, coughing, and a stuffy
nose. The best way to do this is by giving a physical demonstration. Ask the
child to hold out a finger and blow a large puff of air onto their finger. Let
them feel the strength and quant ity of air on their finger. Explain that this is
“big breathing.” Then ask the child to blow a tiny amount of air onto their
finger. This should be so light they can hardly feel it at all. Expl ain that this
is correct breathing.
You can also ask your child to explain the ideas behind good breathing
to other people in your household. This will allow your child time to reflect
on his or her breathing. By listening to the storytelling and description your
child gives, you will be able to tell how well the theory has been
understood.
If you are conce rned about your child’ s breathing and want to explor e
maxillary expansion, there are healthcar e professionals who can assist with
gently widening  the palate even in very young childr en. I would advise
looking for a myofunctional therapist or specialist pediatric dentist.

THE BREATHING SECRET FOR HEALTHY
BLOOD PRESSURE
lobally, 1.13 billion people are thought to suffer with hypertens ion,
the majority living in low- and middle-income countries. In
America in 2020, around 108 million people, or 45% of the adult
population, have high blood pressure1 and fewer than one in five sufferers
have the problem under control.2 The risk is higher for those who have
reached retirem ent age. Under new guidelines published in 2017, nearly
80% of Americans aged 65 and older qualify as high risk for blood
pressure.3 In the United Kingdom, 2020 figures show that one in three
adults have the condition, rising to one in two in people over 65—that’ s
around 16 million people in total.4
High blood pressure is a problem that can affect anyone, regardless of
income, race, gender, or age. The risk increases as you get older, with
certain lifestyle choices, and if you have a genetic predisposition to
hypertension. But whether or not you are likely to develop the condition
often depends upon the health of your heart. The good news is that it is
actually fairly straightforward to ensure that your heart stays healthy,
simply by eating a sensible diet, maintaining a moderate exercise regime,
and learning to breathe correctly.
THE HEART AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
The heart is the organ respons ible for pumping blood around the body
through the blood vessels. It operates all day, every day, beating
approximately 109,000 times every 24 hours.5 It pumps deoxygenatedblood to the lungs where it can be replenished with oxygen, and it circulates
oxygenated blood back around the body, supplying the brain, muscles,
organs, and every cell with oxygen. In other words, the primary  role of the
heart is to distribute the oxygen brought into the lungs during inhalation,
and to bring carbon dioxide back to the lungs where the excess can be
breathed out.
As the heart pumps, blood pushes against the walls of the arteries,
creating pressur e. Like many of the body’ s homeostatic systems, this
pressure is in constant flux. It is regulated by the movement-sen sitive nerve
endings called baroreceptors (which we read about in Chapter Four ).
Problems with blood pressure occur if the pressure rises and remains too
high over a sustained period of time. This can damage the body in many
ways, leading to heart failure, stroke, kidney disease, and a number of other
health problems.6
High blood pressure is the buildup of pressure caused by a restriction to
blood flow. Picture the scene: On a beautiful sunny day, you decide to water
the flowers in the front garden. You attach the hose to the tap and turn it on
halfway to provide enough wate r flow to spray the flowers with a fine mist.
All is going well until your absent-minded neighbor unknowingly parks his
car with a tire pressing firmly down on the hose. In an instant, the blockage
reduces the flow to a trickle, while water pressure increases inside the hose.
The blood vessels work in a similar way. When arterial blood  vessels
are dilated, wide and relaxed, blood flows easily, circulation is good, and
blood pressure is normal. However, when arteries are constricted due to
age-related hardening or a buildup of fatty deposits along their inner walls,
flow becomes restricted, and pressure begins to rise.
The main function of the heart is to pump blood back and forth from the
lungs, around the body. When the blood vessels are restricted, the heart will
increase the blood pressure to keep the blood moving, much as you might
turn up the garden tap when the water coming out of the hose dries to a
trickle. While this extra pressure may temporarily provide the body with an
adequate blood flow, it puts extra strain on both heart and blood vessels,
which over time is damaging. If the blood vessels remain constricted,
circulation gradually gets worse, and blood pressure continues to rise.Normal blood circulation is vital to health. The blood carries oxygen to
everywhere it is needed, so if circulation is cut off to any part of the body,
that area will become starved of oxygen. The sensation of pins and needles
you might get if you sit with your legs crossed for


 meditative state. Allow yourself a minimum of five minutes
doing this.
As you practice this exercise, you will sense its meaning more and more
as time goes by. It will help prepare you for a formal meditation practice,
and open your mind to absorb its power.
Dear God,
Thank Y ou for the things that I have seen.
When on the mountaintop, I have felt such joy.
Please send angels
to lift me up
and always hold me tenderly.
Do not let insanity take hold of me,
but enlighten me that I might be fr ee.
Place my feet on a higher path
and show me how to walk in love,
that I might find my way.
Amen
OceanofPDF.comLESSON 17
FORGIVE YOURSELF AND OTHERS
According to A Course in Miracles,  all thought creates form on some
level. If your weighty thinking does not change, then even if you lose
weight, you’ll retain an overwhelming subconscious ur ge to gain it back.
It’s less important how quickly you lose weight, and more important how
holistically  you lose weight; you want your mind, your emotions, and your
body to all lose weight. W eight that disappears from your body but not from
your soul is simply recycling outward for a while, but is almost certain to
return. It’ s self-defeating, therefore, to struggle to drop excess weight unless
you are also willing to drop the thought-forms that initially produced it and
now hold it in place.
Judgment and blame are the weightiest thoughts of all, as they lack love.
They are products of the fear -mind, representing the densest ener gy in the
universe—the perception of someone’ s guilt. Learning to for give both
yourself and others is the greatest gift you can give yourself on your path to
conscious weight loss.
Compulsive eating separates you from others, and for giveness heals the
separation. Once again, you might have wonderful connections with people,
but any breakage at all is a place where the devil can get in. Unless you
address your relationship issues themselves, then they will always lurk in
the back of your mind, able to trip the addictive switch back to ON at any
time.
In order to deal with your weight loss from a holistic perspective, you
must address your issues with relationships as seriously as you address your
issues with food. Losing weight will not of itself heal your relationships,
but healing your relationships will help you lose weight.
Forgiveness is critical, as we all make little as well as big mistakes, and
little as well as big judgments. Cultivating a for giving attitude softens theedges of human contact. It’ s an aspect of what is called the Atonement, or
the correction of our perceptions from fear back to love. The purpose of this
lesson is to atone for any lack of for giveness on your part, releasing excess
weight that lies heavy on your heart.
There are two basic filters through which to view all things: the filter of
the body, and the filter of the spirit. T o the extent that you view your life
only through the body’ s filter, you are bound to the body in a way that does
not serve you. Being bound to the body, you are at the ef fect of the body’ s
appetites. But when your eyes are lifted, giving you the capacity to see
beyond the body to the realm of your spirit, you’re given power over your
body that otherwise you do not have. Dwelling lightly within your body,
your body becomes light.
And how do you do that? How do you see beyond  the body? Y ou do it by
being willing to extend your focus beyond the dramas of the material plane,
remembering that beyond this drama there is the truer truth of who we all
are.
Yes, a friend might have said something cruel to you—but in her heart,
she’s simply lost and lonely like everyone else. Y our friend does love you;
she was just disconnected from her love at the moment when she made that
hurtful comment.
No matter what happens to you, you have a choice as to how to interpret
it. You will make that choice—consciously or subconsciously. You can
focus on the body’ s drama—your friend’ s unkind words, her mistake, her
betrayal. But if you do, you won’ t be able to escape the emotional
experience of being at the ef fect of her words.
By choosing to focus on the material drama, particularly the drama of
guilt, you increase your attachment to the material plane and thus your
vulnerability to its dysfunctions. Y ou for give because you wish to stay
above the dramas of the material world, particularly the drama of your
compulsion.
You can choose to focus on the innocence in your friend—on her divine
reality that is beyond, and truer, than her bodily self. All of us are made of
love, yet all of us make mistakes. In detaching from an overemphasis on
someone else’ s mistakes, you detach from an overemphasis on your own.
And in overemphasizing your mistakes, you overemphasize your body. As
you reach across the wall of separateness—and there is no wall thicker thanthe wall of judgment—then the wall comes down. That is the miracle of
forgiveness.
Forgiveness is like preventive medicine. It cancels out the lie at the
center of the fear -mind, robbing it of its ability to hurt you. The fear -mind
jams your personal radar system, disconnecting you from Divine Mind and
leading you toward thoughts and behaviors that destroy your inner peace. It
tells you that you are less than perfect, tearing you from the memory of
your divine self. From there, it’ s easy to convince you that no one else is
divinely perfect either.
Fear-mind’ s mantra is: Guilt, guilt, and mor e guilt.  It casts you into
judgmental consciousness—whether judgment of yourself or others—
dooming you to an emotional seesaw ride between love and fear. That
seesaw is emotionally unstable, and is one of the biggest threats to your
food sobriety.
The fear -mind doesn’ t have to convince you to eat excessively so much
as it just has to convince you that someone is guilty, for the perception of
guilt is enough to throw you out of your right mind and thus into your
disease. An attitude of for giveness takes you of f—or keeps you of f—the
seesaw.
Forgiveness is a selective remembering. It is a conscious choice to focus
on someone’ s innocence instead of his or her mistakes. In common
parlance, it usually amounts to simply cutting people more slack. This
serves you. Judgment and blame put stress on the body of whoever is doing
the judging and blaming, and stress is the time bomb at the center of your
addictive ur ge.
It is in “staying above” the drama of the body that you dwell more
harmoniously within it. Y our body was not created to bear the burden of
your overattachment to it, but was created as a container for the light of
your spirit. It will more easily remember how to function perfectly when
you remember the perfection in everyone.
Forgiveness is hugely powerful yet often fiercely resisted. A young man I
knew in an AIDS support group years ago once asked me, “Do I really have
to for give everybody? ” To which I responded, “W ell, I don’ t know … do
you have the flu, or do you have AIDS? Because if you only have the flu,
then, heck, just for give a few people … but if you have AIDS, then, yes, try
to for give everybody!”You certainly wouldn’ t ask a doctor, “Do I really have to take all the
medicine? T ake the entire round  of chemo? Can’ t I just do some  of it?” Nor
would you say, “Doc, can I just take the medicine when I feel bad?” No,
medicine is medicine. And you respect it enough to take the amount you
need.
Forgiveness is more than just a good thing. It is key to right living and
thus to your healing—not just to be applied every once in a while, but to be
aimed for as a constant. None but enlightened masters achieve for giveness
all the time, but the ef fort itself keeps the arrows of attack at bay. Holding
on to judgment, blame, attack, defense, victimization, and so forth are
absolutely attacks on yourself. And you attack yourself with food.
As you for give others, you begin to for give yourself. As you stop
focusing on their mistakes, you will stop punishing yourself for your own.
Your ability to release what you think of as the sins of others will free you
to release yourself, putting down that particular weapon with which you
punish yourself so savagely.
Forgiveness releases the past to divine correction and the future to new
possibilities. The past can’ t hurt you unless you bring it in the present with
you, and for giveness is a way of letting it go. Nothing anyone has ever done
to you has permanent ef fects unless you hold on to it permanently.
Your first task with this lesson is to identify those whom you have not
forgiven. Know that even the slightest annoyance with someone is enough
to throw your system out of divine right order. Do not just focus here on the
people who have

been entombed fortenmillion years inastate ofdormancy.Sobacteria have certain
qualities for survival that most are not aware of.
The celebrated Dr.Lewis Thomas who heads theSloan-Kettering Cancer Institute
said, “pity nottheman who hascaught bacteria; pity thebacteria thatwas caught by
theman.” This istosaythat humans furnish avery rough environment forbacteria.
Thebody keeps them restricted within certain bounds. Thebody controls bacteria atall
times. The body is master of its domain.
Bacteria do not control the body as medical people have led us to believe.
Following aretwoparagraphs from a“bible” onNatural Hygiene, Dr.Shelton’ sfirst
major work, Human Life: Its Philosophy and Laws.
“For ages thestudy ofdisease hasprogressed. One byonethevarious systems
andsystem complexes thatarepresented bythediseased human body have been

Themedical world ispreoccupied with treating disease with drugs thatarecurrently
infashion. Their seeking outofbacteria and“viruses” asculprits indisease reminds me
of a little joke we heard back after the Second W orld W ar. It goes like this.
During theSecond World WaraGerman civilian worked inaconcentration camp.
One evening hepushed awheelbarrow totheexitgate forinspection byaguard. The
wheelbarrow wasloaded with rags. Theguard, very conscientious about hisjobandthe
security ofthecamp anditsassets, methodically went through therags butfound noth-
ing. So he waved the worker through the gate.Thevery next daytheworker came through with awheelbarrow ofnewspapers. The
guard repeated theprevious careful examination. Thefollowing daycame awheelbar-
row of leaves. Again the same thorough inspection.
Thedayfollowing thistheworker came totheguard pushing aheavy load ofdirt.
Theguard wasnotgoing tobefooled. Hemade theworker dump thedirtandspread it
out, then laboriously reload it on the wheelbarrow.
Thenext workday came another load ofnewspapers. Theguard wasvery suspicious
that theworker was sneaking something out. So,inaddition toother procedures, he
tapped thehandles andother places forconcealed material that theworker might be
stealing. But nothing was found.
This went onalmost every workday forayear.Onoccasion theguard systematically
searched thewheelbarrows butnever found anything ofvalue being removed from the
camp.
Byandbythewarwasover.Awhile later theformer guard mettheformer construc-
tion worker on the street.
He went up to the worker and stopped him abruptly with this smiling demand:
“Hans, youhave totellmesomething. I’mnodummy.Youwere stealing something
from thecamp. Icould never find it.Now thatitdoesn’ tmatter,why notletmeinon
it?”
Hans replied, “Why,dummkopf, you saw itwith your own eyes. Iwas stealing
wheelbarrows.”
Such blindness characterizes themedical profession. The purpose ofdisease isso
evident thatthemedics can’tseeit.They arelooking forsomething thatdoesn’ texist,
andthey have noidea, after countless millions ofman hours ofchasing microbes and
similar deadends, that viruses as living entities do not exist.
Sothey have gone intothephenomenon ofdisease elaborately andhave chronicled
over twenty thousand different diseases. They name them after thearea thatismost af-
fected. Sometimes they have multiple names because ofthenumber oforgans ororgan
systems or tissues which art af fected.

Actually,there isonly onedisease, nomatter how itmanifests itself. And thedisease,
which wecallconstructive disease, isoccasioned bythebody itself andisknown asa
crisis of toxemia or healing.
2.3.1 The Seven Stages of Disease
There areseveral stages ofdisease. Theunderlying cause ofdisease inallstages is
toxemia. Although toxemia may arise from many sources, itbasically exists because of
insuf ficient nerve energytosufficiently eliminate exogenous poisons andbody wastes.
Toxemia isnotbroad enough aterm tocover thewhole poisoning process foritmeanspoison intheblood. Actually toxicosis exists. Tissues, cells andinterstitial spaces are
also toxic-laden. In short, the whole body is toxic.
Diseases present many different aspects because they evolve with theprogressing
deterioration oftheorganism thatsuffersthem. Disease hasseven distinct stages. These
stages correspond to the distinct dif ferences of each stage of evolution.
2.3.1.1. Enervation
Thefirststage isnoteven recognized byphysicians asadisease. Life Scientists call
itenervation. Most people callitnervous exhaustion. Enervation isastate inwhich the
body iseither notgenerating sufficient nerve energyforthetasks thebody must perform,
orthetasks thebody must perform may begreater than thenormal nerve energy supply
cancope with. Inanyevent, thebody becomes impaired, andanimpaired body gener-
ates lessnerve energyiftheconditions ofoverwork orunder -generation persist. Most
people know when they are nervously exhausted.
Enervation canbecaused bydepletion ofnerve energyinanyofhundreds ofways.
Sleep regenerates nerve energy.Obviously,insuf ficient sleep willnotsupply uswith our
needs. Itwillnotfully rechar geourbatteries. Weneed sleep toregenerate nerve energy
for the brain and nervous system.
Nerve energyisaform ofelectricity measurable inmillivolts. Sleep laboratories
have successfully substituted electricity inplace ofthebody’ sown. When thisisaccom-
plished itiscalled electrosleep. Ittakes only twohours outoftwenty-four tofully restore
nerve ener gy in this manner.
