ues,	pesticides,	and
countless	other	unnamed	residues	and	chemicals	that	you	put	into	your	body
unknowingly	(or	knowingly,	in	the	case	of	those	margaritas	you	had	at	happy
hour	last	Friday!).	After	processing	all	these	toxins,	your	liver	secretes	them	into
the	digestive	tract	to	exit	the	body	or	into	a	water-soluble	form	to	be	filtered
through	the	kidneys	and	excreted	as	urine.
It’s	extremely	important	to	support	your	liver	if	you	want	beautiful	skin,
eyes,	and	hair.	In	addition	to	its	role	in	detoxification,	this	organ	is	the	keeper
of	some	sacred	beauty	goods.	It	stores	vitamins	A,	B
12
,	and	D,	as	well	as	iron,
copper,	and	glucose,	releasing	these	nutrients	into	the	bloodstream	as	needed.
26
Your	liver	is	also	a	major
fat	burner,	since	it	produces	bile	and	bile	acids,
which	emulsify	fats.	One	issue	that	brings	home	the	importance	of	the	liver	is
cholesterol.	For	decades	the	link	between	cholesterol	and	heart	attacks,	now	the
leading	cause	of	death	among	women	as	well	as	men,	has	been	controversial.
Does	this	surprise	you?	We’ve	all	taken	for	granted	that	cholesterol	is	bad	for
you.	In	fact,	the	majority	of	cholesterol	is	manufactured	by	the
body	itself	and
is	a	necessary	part	of	building	cells.	There	is	no	controversy	over	this	fact,	or	the
risk	posed	by	“bad”	cholesterol,	or	low-density	lipoprotein	(LDL).	The	thorny
issue	that	arises	is	over	the	cholesterol	you	eat	versus	the	cholesterol	your	body
makes.	There	is	ample	proof	that	high	cholesterol	in	the	blood	puts	someone	at
risk	for
heart	disease.	But	the	same	has	not	been	proved	for	cholesterol	in	the
diet.	This	is	because	of	the	liver,	which	stands	midway	as	a	kind	of	processing
plant	to	turn	all	the	fat	you	eat	into	fat	for	your	body	to	use.
How	your	liver	processes	fat	is	genetically	determined.	Some	people	can	eat	a
high-cholesterol	diet	and	still	have	low	cholesterol	in	the	blood;	they	are	lucky
when	it	comes	to	their	liver.	Other	people	are	unlucky,	and	they	exhibit	high
levels	of	cholesterol	in	the	blood	even	on	a	low-fat	diet.	But	most	people	fallsomewhere	in	between.	Their	liver	will	process	the	cholesterol	in	their	diet	into
a	moderate	level	of	cholesterol	in	the	blood.	This	natural	ratio	is	considered
healthy,	but	it	must	be	noted	that	aging	causes	cholesterol	levels	to	rise.	This
may	be	genetically	programmed,	but	it	is	just	as	likely	that	eating	a	typical	high-
fat	diet	for	decades	causes	the	liver	to	decline	in	function.	For	the	moment,	it’s
probably	best	to	be	prudent,	regularly	eating	the	foods	rich	in	the
omega-3	fatty
acids	that	we	recommend	on
this	page
,	such	as	chia	seeds,	which	have	a
beneficial	effect	on	fats	in	the	blood,	and	cutting	out	or	greatly	reducing	the
“hard	fats”	found	in
red	meat.
After	being	produced	by	the	liver,	bile	is	stored	in	the	gallbladder	and
secreted	into	the	small	intestine	to	break	down	those	beauty	fats	and	put	them
to	good	use.	In
Traditional	Chinese	Medicine	(TCM),	the	liver	is	considered	a
primary	organ	responsible	for	circulating	blood	and	qi	throughout	the	body.
According	to	TCM,	a	healthy,	well-functioning	liver	is	important	for	healthy
menstruation	and	fertility.
27
When	the	liver	is	overloaded	by	toxicity	or	mistreated,	it	becomes
dysfunctional	and	cannot	complete	its	important	tasks—from	detoxifying	to	fat
burning	and	blood	cleaning—as	efficiently	as	it	should.	This	can	lead	to
premature	aging	and	diminished	energy	and	beauty.	When	your	liver	can
efficiently	process	toxicity,	your	skin	becomes	brighter	and	more	beautiful,
more	nutrition	is	able	to	reach	your	hair	follicles,	and	you	have	more	beautiful
energy	overall.	The	great	news	is	that	this	is	a	resilient	organ	with	super-
regenerative	powers.	Unless	you	have	an	extremely	damaged	liver	or	a	condition
like	cirrhosis,	there	is	much	you	can	do	to	help	it	rebuild	and	regenerate	even	if
you’ve	abused	your	liver	in	the	past.	Taking	care	of	your	liver	is	an	essential
beauty	task.	In	addition	to	all	of	the	tips	for	boosting	digestion,	following	are
some	of	the	best	techniques	and	foods	to	nourish	your	liver	and	increase
detoxification	within	your	body	on	a	daily	basis.
STAY	AWAY	FROM	HIGH	PROTEIN	DIETS
High	protein	diets	have	become	popular	ways	to	lose
weight,	but	they	may	also
contribute	to	accelerated	aging	and	disease.
28
	Nowadays,	most	people	consume
far	more	protein	than	their	bodies	really	need.
Valter	Longo,	director	of	the
Longevity	Institute	at	the	University	of
Southern	California,	states,	“The
majority	of	Americans	are	eating	about	twice	as	much	proteins	as	they
should.”
29
	Research	has	shown	that	long-term	high	protein	intake	results	in
increased	cancer	risk,	precipitated	progression	of	coronary	artery	disease,
disorders	of	bone	and	renal	function,	and	disorders	of	liver	function.
30
	Clearly,
when	it	comes	to	protein,	too	much	can	have	negative	effects	on	your	system(see
this	page
).	Lesson:	You	can	clearly	overdo	it,	so	be	mindful	of	how	much
you	are	consuming.
Your	liver	plays	a	role	in	protein
metabolism,	including	processing	amino
acids,
31
	converting	them	into	glucose	for	energy,	and	removing	ammonia,	a
natural	waste	product	of	protein	metabolism,	from	the	bloodstream.
32
	The	liver
also	synthesizes	nonessential	amino	acids.	An	overabundance	of	protein	places
a	burden	on	the	liver.	Try	cutting	back	on	animal	protein	in	particular	and
eating	more	nutrient-dense	plant-based	meals	to	help	your	liver	stay	on	top	of
its	vital	health-	and	beauty-boosting	functions.
LIMIT
MEDICATIONS
Only	use	over-the-counter	drugs	when	absolutely	needed.	This	includes
acetaminophen,	also	known	by	the	brand	name
Tylenol,	which	research	has
shown	has	a	particularly	strong	effect	on	the	liver.
33
	While	drugs	can	be	critical
in	emergencies	and	accidents,	as	well	as	very	helpful	in	treating	various	medical
conditions,	your	liver	does	have	to	detoxify	them.	Keep	this	in	mind	when
choosing	which	medications	to	take.	If	you	have	a	headache,	resting	and
rehydrating	instead	of	immediately	popping	a	pill	is	better	for	your	liver.	Very
often,	drinking	water,	restoring	B	vitamins	by	eating	a	banana,	or	getting	a
massage	to	help	alleviate	stress	will	relieve	a	headache	without	taking	any	type
of	drug.	Speak	to	your	doctor	about	which	prescription	medications	are
absolutely	necessary.

PROCESSED


 body gathered impurity becomes proportionately more difficult when organic imperfections are present. In the
normally developed adult body chronic disease or drugs may produce like effects, but h ere vital organs are of full dimension, and
results are shown, not in arrested development, but wholly in structural tissue -change.

Whenever, because of organs functionally incapacitated for any reason, the products of food and tissue waste cannot be eva cuated
through proper channels, general poisoning of the blood stream occurs. The resulting condition is known as auto -intoxication, or
toxemia, referred to previously as a state of unbalance when both secretion and excretion are checked and the blood is s urcharged
with waste to the degree of developing a crisis or acute disease. This state gives rise in the subject to manifestations that  may
become alarming. The brain may be affected to the extent of mild delirium, hiccoughs persistent in character may occ ur, or the
patient may sink into stupor; and there are other forms which the symptoms may take that will cause distress. In a fast that has
been correctly approached toxemia so intense in degree can never arise. But if, as happens when inexperienced direct ion is given,
food is discontinued abruptly, accessories are omitted, and no preparatory period of dieting is observed, symptoms as mention ed
are apt to be manifested. Even when all essentials are correctly followed, slight toxemia may be present in cases that are fasting,
when these are sufferers from chronic functional disease or from some structural organic defect. But, if the subject has been
prepared for the period of abstinence in the manner heretofore described, and, if the hygienic accessories of tr eatment are
consistently employed, symptoms that are distressing are not likely to occur.

The presence of toxins in the body is for the most part attributable to inability of the eliminative organs to perform their work. For
some cause or other the latte r do not dispose of waste in amount sufficient to balance intake or production. When difficulty is
encountered in disposing of the refuse produced progressively during a fast, lack of eliminative power is its causation, and this
arises from nerve force imp eded through impingement of vertebrae, from structural organic defect, from lesions caused by
previous drugging, or from waste production so extreme that even normal organs are unable to cope with it.

The physician who holds the concept that disease and cure are a unity is not at all concerned with the presence or absence of the
various toxins, nor by the symptoms in evidence, save as they act as indices of the functioning ability of vital organs. If t he latter
are in normal structural condition, the prod ucts of food in excess of need may interfere with function because of simple congestion,
which we have seen is easily relieved. But the vital parts of the human body are in many instances structurally defective thr ough
drug dosage or through food stimulati on, and these organs may in consequence be brought into action only by the administration
of additional drugs or by further stimulus. In these circumstances elimination can take place only abnormally, with in all ca ses but
partial removal of body waste. In  treating disease by natural methods the character of the toxin is not considered excepting in so
far as it is an indication of the severity of illness, and the thought paramount concerns the condition of the organs involve d, with
their ability to function, rather than with the nature of the circulating poison.

The toxication or poisoning that results from absorption of certain products of metabolism has been said sometimes to cause
delirium in the subject. This phenomenon, because it has infrequently bee n observed while a fast was in progress, has given rise to
the contention that protracted abstinence from food occasions insanity. Nothing can be further from truth, for, when toxic
elimination has been successfully accomplished, when the system is fully a nd physiologically purified, mentality is at maximum;
and, on the other hand, cases displaying mental aberration to toxemia caused by overfeeding are speedily brought to sanity wh en
food is denied. In fact, extreme auto -intoxication occurs more frequently when the subject is feeding than when he is fasting, and
an overfed system is productive of poisons the effects of which upon mentality are more serious and more lasting than are tho se of
stimulants or narcotics.

Wounds and broken bones are healed and un ited by natural processes, and it is only through the operation of the latter that cures
may be achieved. The fast and its accessories are not in themselves "processes", as the term is here used. Their office is th at of the
removal of obstacles that lie in  the paths of action invariably pursued by nature in effecting her purpose of systemic cleansing, of
casting out of the body the poisons that are the source of its disease. As a result of restoration of function that follows a  successful
fast instances do occur where organic structural break -down is arrested and the organ is again placed in functioning condition, but
these instances are exceptional. However, undertaking a fast in the hope that it in itself will succeed in overcoming to the point of
recovery  serious structural organic defects, wounds, and broken bones, is to hope for an absurdity. In these circumstances the
benefits that accrue from the application of the method are proportioned to the degree of the power of the organ or of the ti ssue
involve d to recover itself.

Death during a fast cannot occur unless there is organic disease, and not then unless the organ or organs affected are in suc h
degenerated state as not to permit of repair; and it is conclusively demonstrated that in a scientifically  directed fast, although death
in the conditions cited cannot be averted, yet because of organic labor lessened, life is prolonged for days or weeks, and di stress
Page 33 of  72 and pain, if present, are much alleviated.

The differentiation between starvation and fasti ng is made herein upon the basis that starvation occurs in consequence of food
being denied to a system that is in need of sustenance, and that fasting consists in intentional abstinence from food by a sy stem in
disease, a system which in consequence of it s physical unbalance is not only without desire for nutriment, but which in reality is in
no need of it until its organism is purified and again in condition to perform its functions normally. The distinction stated  may be
admitted, yet the fact is not alt ered that the two processes are in essence largely identical. But it has been observed that, deposited
within the body, lies a reserve store of aliment, and it is also to be observed that this reserve is not in the main utilized  for tissue
rebuilding, but is in most part intended at all times for the support and maintenance of the nervous system; and it is only when this
supply of nerve sustenance is exhausted or prevented from serving its purpose that starvation occurs. Because of the possibil ity of
these happenings in disease, the body may starve though it is well fed, for often in instances of overfeeding there is mal -
assimilation, often an essential organ is rendered functionally incapable through congestion, in consequence of which the ner vous
system is  hindered from consuming its necessary nourishment since the channels of supply are obstructed. Hence it should be
apparent that in functional disease during a fast starvation can begin only when fasting ends --at the disappearance of disease, at the
return  of hunger.

Whether we regard the vital principle, the animating force of the animal body, as an entity or, as modern science would have it, as
the result of chemical transformations, it must be agreed that, during a fast whatever tissue construction occ urs happens in
consequence of nutriment supplied from the reserve noted above, and this Dr. E. H. Dewey termed "Nature's bill of fare for th e
sick." Deprived of food, the subject then must subsist upon this menu, details of which have already been given in  the table quoted
from Yeo's Physiology, a table which shows the estimated losses of the several tissues of the body in cases of starvation. During
periods of abstinence from food the organism then subsists upon itself, and loss of body weight must occur. Directly this loss is
due to the elimination, first, of the waste that caused disease, and, next and continuously with the other, of the refuse pro duced by
catabolism or cell destruction. The dominant process in action at this time is that of expulsion of diseaseproducing matter, and it is
obvious that the latter is at no point available for the repair of tissue, and that, held within the system, it acts not only  obstructively
in the avenues of vitality, but that it also toxically vitiates function. This is  true of all refuse retained in the organism at any time,
for this material, because of delay in expulsion, is rendered harmful through putrefactive changes.

The points of difficulty related heretofore are in a sense technical in character, but there are  objections which embody personal
opinion and prejudice that at times develop into serious obstacles. While fasting for the relief of disease has been known an d
practiced individually in all countries of the world from prehistoric times, it was never advan ced in any land to the point where it
could be regarded as a distinct system of therapeutics until the decade beginning about fifty years ago. Its rise from sporad ic
application to the dignity of a school occurred about that time in the United States,

T h e  P r o m i s e d  L a n d
I t had been months since my deep meditation experience
in the Ocala National Forest. The remnants of that
experience wer e a constant flow of energy to the point
between my eyebrows and a burning in my heart to go
even deeper within. Neither of these forces subsided over
time. In  fact, the yearning to go deeper kept increasing
on a  daily basis. It was like having fallen madly in love
and not being able to see your beloved. I began to
contemplate co mpletely drop ping out and entering a life
of solitude. My coursework was done, and nothing was
forcing me to take my qualifying exams right away. Plus,
by that time I was pretty cert ain that I would never take
those exams.
I determined that I needed a place away from
everything and everyone in order to become totally
focused on my practices. I knew I couldn’t just keep
camping by the lime pit for ever, but I wasn’t ready to
start loo king fo r a secluded p lace of my own. I decided to
just kee p my eyes open to see if something would show
up by itself.
Something did.
I wa s fi lling up  my van one day, when out of the blue
the gas  station attendant asked me where I lived. I told
him that I had  been living in my van for a while but was
hoping to find a piece of land  in the country. He said he
had come across a beautiful place northwest of
Gainesville that had five-acre lots for sale. I got
directions and went on my way.A few days later, I drove ou t to the place and found
April Gift Estates. It was in a heavily wooded area about
ten miles north of town, and  it consisted of twenty-one
five-acre lots and a couple of dirt roads. Very few lots had
been sold, and I didn’t see a single person the entire time
I toured. The place was so peaceful and natural that I
drove around almost in a trance. It was just perfect.
I soon came upon a couple of adjoining lots that were
part woods and part field. T his was exactly what I had
wanted. I parked my car and  walked through the woods
onto the interior field. The feeling of going from the
woods to sudden openness was unbelievable. There was
a rush of light and a feeling of expansiveness.
I wa lked up a rolling hill to th e fence on the north side
of the proper ty. The property bordered a beautiful
pasture that sloped down to a woods-lined stream. The
entire north side of the lot overlooked that breathtaking
view. It reminded me of how Homer described the
Elysian Fields. I meandered back into the woods and
found a  spot under a tree where I could see the interior
field op en in front of me and the beautiful pastureland to
my righ t. The woods were quiet and felt protecting. It
was like  being in a womb. Th e moment I sat down, I was
drawn i nto deep meditation. The moment I came back, I
knew I was home.
I ha d never bought a piece of land before, but I did
have some funds. When I graduated from college, my
father had given me what remained in my college
account. He wanted me to ta ke full responsibility for my
postgraduate education. Since I did both my master’s
degree and my doctorate work under full fellowship, I
had been able to save almos t all of the $15,000 he had
given me. It was now time to spend it.
I d ecide d to try to buy both of the lots that included
the inte rior fiel d. That would give me plenty of seclusion.
Before contac ting the owner, I picked a maximum
number that I was willing to  pay for the ten acres. Thenumber was significantly less  than the asking price, but I
told myself that if the seller wouldn’t come down to my
price, it  wasn’t meant to be.  I was completely at peace
with either outcome. As it tu rned out, that sense of
detachment gave me the edge I needed to successfully
negotiate for the lots. I succe eded in the purchase, but I
didn’t feel a s ense of joy. W hat I felt was a sense of
resolute determination. What lay ahead of me was not
going t o be easy. I had already committed so much of
myself to exploring what was beyond me—now I was
going to commit everything.1 0.
B u i l d i n g  a  S a c r e d  H u t
B ob G ould and I had been friends since my first days of
high school. We had both moved to Florida from up
north a nd wer e the new kid s entering tenth grade. We
bonded immediately and remained good friends all the
way through college. Bob was  the handy type, the kind of
kid who always excelled in sh op class. When it came time
to build a meditation hut on my land, he jumped at the
opportunity.
Neither Bob nor I had ever built anything like a hut to
actually live in. I was good with my hands and had been a
sports c ar mechanic while in high school. But to build a
small house, Bob and I were way out of our league. We
reached out to a college friend, Bobby Altman. Bobby’s
credentials we re not that he  had actually built a house
before, but that he had just f inished his master’s degree
in arch itecture. At least he had the theory of how to
design and build something. How hard could it be to
build a  small hut where I could go into solitude for a
while?
Apparently, Bobby Altman didn’t think it would be
hard at  all. He quickly design ed plans for the hut, which
included a balsa wood model. I remember the first time I
saw his design. I literally thought he was crazy. This was
not just a small, simple, one-person hut for meditation.
It was a wedged-shaped hou se with a stunning front of
glass that spanned sixteen fee t wide and rose twenty feet
high. To be perfectly honest, I had been envisioning
more of a box with a door and a few windows. How werethree college grads, who had never built anything before,
going to build this?
Bobby Altman insisted the ho use was going to be easy
to build. I wasn ’t so sure, but Bob Gould was all for it. He
thought it would be a fun cha llenge for the three of us to
live on the land in tents and build it. I remember that I
didn’t see it th at way. I already had a full-time challenge
—getting back to my beloved place of absolute stillness
and peace. But if I had to build this architecturally
designed masterpiece of a meditation hut to get there—
so be it.
We jumped right in with the abandonment of reason
that belongs only to young h ippies and crazy people. It
was an amazing experience. I had very little money left to
build Bobby Altman’s chalet. To keep costs to a
minimum, both Bobs agreed that we could use rough-
sawn lumber instead of the finished lumber you buy at a
lumberyard. A s fate would have it, there was a sawmill
just a few mile s down the hig hway from my land: Griffis
Lumber & Sawmill. James G riffis and his wife were real
southern country folk, not longhairs like the three of us.
We got sideways looks from pretty much everyone
whenever we went to pick up lumber. Aside from our
hair, we stood out because of what we were ordering. We
started with the eleven cypress columns that would form
the support structure of the house—at twenty-nine feet,
you mig ht as well call them trees. James Griffis allowed
us to hand s elect the straightest trees right off the
logging truck when it arrived. We got to watch workers
strap ea ch of the trees to the giant mill and cut them
down to  six inches per side, give or take half an inch. It
was a real bac k-to-the-earth feeling watching the actual
trees being turned into the backbone of your house.
In ti me, Mr. Gr iffis began to o pen up to us. One day he
invited the three of us to din ner at his house, which was
adjacent to the mill. This was a big deal since we had
been living in tents and cook ing what we could over anopen fir e. It was particularly s pecial for me because I had
been living out of my van or  in a tent for almost half a
year. It wasn’t just a matter of a home-cooked meal;

Your trachea is a 4.5-inch-long cartilaginous tube. The trachea bridges the
larynx to the primary or main bronchi. It extends from the sixth cervical to
the fifth dorsal (thoracic) vertebra. At this point it divides into two main
bronchi, one leading to each lung. The mucosa is made of ciliated epithelia
that sweep mucus, trapped dust and pathogens upward.MODULE 2.13
The Skeletal System

Your skeletal system comprises all the bones, cartilage, tendons and ligaments
that make up your physical body. “Skeleton” is a Greek word meaning
“dried-up” body.
Bones, cartilage, tendons and ligaments are forms of connective tissue.
Bones consist of osteocytes or bone cells, which are embedded in calcified
extracellular compounds and substances called a matrix. This bed or matrix
contains the minerals of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate, as well as
collagen (tough rope-like protein) fibers.
As previously stated, bones are formed from fibrous connective tissue.
You especially see this in the beginning stages of life (embryonic). As the
fetus develops, this connective tissue becomes dense and hardens, becoming
the skeletal system. Bones serve as protection for vital organs, and as
structural supports and functions.
Your physical body is composed of 206 bones (more or less):
Head—29
Upper extremities—64
Trunk—51
Lower extremities—62
TYPES OF BONES

Bones are classified by their shape and size, e.g., long bones, short bones, flat
or irregular bones.
LONG BONES — Longer than they are wide. Bones of the extremities
(arms, legs)
SHORT BONES — Somewhat as wide as they are long (e.g., ankle, wrist)
FLAT BONES — Flat bones are thin bones (e.g., skull, sternum, ribs )
IRREGULAR BONES — These bones come in different shapes and sizes
(e.g., facial, vertebrae)The outer surface (or portion) of bones is more dense or compact than
the inner portion. The inner structure (or portion) of a bone is more spongy
or cancellous.
The long bones are hollow, with dense or compact bone surrounding a
canal (marrow) that houses bone marrow. Bone marrow is the soft tissue in
the marrow cavities of many bones, especially the larger ones. You have two
types of bone marrow.
Bone Terminology
B
ODY SHAFT
The main portion of a bone.
C
ANAL
A passage through a bone, also called me-atus.
F
ORAMEN
A hole in a bone, generally for vessels or nerves.
P
ROCESS
An extension or projection from a bone.
T
UBERCLE
A lump or hump in a bone.
H

The end of a bone—enlarged and often rounded.
N

The tapered portion of a bone between the head and the shaft (body).
C
REST
The prominent ridge of a bone.

RED BONE MARROW — Produces your red blood cells and B-
lymphocytes and other immune cells.
YELLOW BONE MARROW — Predominately fat that is stored for energy
needs.
BONE STRUCTURES
COMPACT BONE — Which consist mainly of solid matrix (mineral matter)
and cells. The dense or compact portion of bones is made up of osteocytes,
blood vessels, lymph and lymph vessels. It is through canals in this portion of
the bone that nutrition and wastes are carried from bone cells. Compact bone
is found in long bones and the thinner surface of all other bones.
CANCELLOUS BONE — Which is more honeycomb (spongy), with small
marrow-filled spaces. Cancellous bone is located in the end (epiphyses) of
long bones and forms the center of all other bones. The honeycomb or
spongy look comes from interconnecting rods or plates of bone called
tradeculae.
BONE GROWTH AND REPAIR

Bone growth and repair takes place through hormone stimulation from the
thyroid/parathyroid glands. This is why when the thyroid becomes
underactive you develop bone/connective tissue weaknesses that affect all the
organs, glands, bones and the vascular system.
Ossification is a word used for the formation of bone by osteoblasts
(cells that become osteocytes or bone cells). There are two types of
ossification. Both types of ossification involve compact and cancellous bone.
INTRAMEMBRANOUS OSSIFICATION — Bone formation within
connective tissue.
ENDOCHONDRAL OSSIFICATION — Bone formation that takes place
inside cartilage.
When injury (or lifestyle) weakens bone cells, osteoclasts (bone-eating
cells) remove
them, making room for osteoblasts to rebuild the bone or
cartilage.
The importance of an alkaline diet with proper glandular
(thyroid/parathyroid, pituitary, adrenal and pancreatic) function cannot be
overstressed. Acidosis stimulates osteoclasts and the formation of calcium
deposits. Calcium is ionized (hardened) in the presence of acids (anionic).
The regulation of ionic calcium in the body’s fluid is essential to the proper
growth and repair of bones. This, as previously stated, is greatly influenced
by diet, lifestyle, hormones and steroids.Bones, as any tissues, organs and glands of your body, are composed of
cells. All cells in your body require an energy source (nutrition) and a way to
eliminate (lymphatic system, kidneys, skin, lungs and bowels).
Make all the cells in your body healthy. Detoxify (clean), alkalize and
regenerate. Every cell in your body will thank you.
First understand Nature, then copy it.

CHAPTER THREE
The Foods We Eat
N
ow that we have learned what species we belong to, how our body works,
and something about its systems (including organs and glands), we will
examine the proper foods that God designed for our species.
What is so important about the types of foods we eat?
I have heard many doctors say that it doesn’t matter
what
 we eat. On the
other hand, The American Dietetics Association, considered by many to be
the authority on the correct foods to eat for health, has been making specific
dietary recommendations for years. Still, cancer is reportedly in every other
(or every third) person, and statistics for the incidence of diabetes as well as
multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and every other disease you can name
(and some that you can’t) are soaring. Why?
It’s All About Energy

Energy is the number one factor (or constituent) needed for life to exist, and
the basis for creation itself. Energy is determined by the movement and
interaction of the atoms that comprise all life. Even carbon, the basis of all life
on this planet, could not exist without the movement and interplay of atoms.
Atoms (energy) cannot be created or destroyed, however they can be
changed. Energy can be increased or decreased.
Energy levels (frequencies) can be low or high (represented by broad or
short waves), and these levels are determined by the molecular composition
of the initiating force. Energy is also classified as being kinetic or potential.
Kinetic
 energy is energy at work.
Potential
 energy is stored energy—it has
potential for use. The chemical energy in food is potential to a certain degree,
until released via enzyme and other chemical activators. Then this potential
energy becomes kinetic, or more active, electrifying and creating activity in
its wake.
A great example of the difference between potential and kinetic energy is
found in comparing cooked foods with raw foods. The electromagnetic
energy (combined molecular energy) of cooked foods is dramatically lowerthan that of raw foods. The reason is that when heat is applied to a compound
its molecular structure changes somewhat, as electrons are altered. Think
about what happens to water when you heat it—its form changes from liquid
to vapor. With heat, unsaturated fats become saturated (as water-soluble
constituents are destroyed, leaving only some of the elements that comprise
them), and many dangerous and carcinogenic compounds are created when
foods are cooked. Heat also destroys the enzymes in food, which are
absolutely necessary as catalysts. The bottom line is that the more energy
your cells have, the healthier your body is. The less energy a cell has, the
closer to destruction (by the immune system or parasitic response) it comes.
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are the basic elements
 of all
organic matter on earth. All foods and their constituents (like proteins,
carbohydrates and fats) are mostly created from these basic elements, which
are the building blocks that determine to what category molecules or
compounds, etc., belong. These categories of molecular structures (such as
sugars, starches, proteins, fats) make up the foods that sustain life on this
planet.
This chapter will view food and the process of eating from the
perspective of chemistry and physics, and set it in the context of some
overviews from God and nature. Let’s first examine some of the most
important constituents that your body requires to sustain, clean and repair
itself.

There is among the Indians a heresy of those who philosophize among
the Brahmins, who live a self-sufficient life, abstaining from eating living
creatures and all cooked food.
— Hippolytus, Rome,


-irritant. By b ringing blood, it can cure tissues which are
inflamed and sensitive. Cayenne does sting, but aft er the sting comes the cure.
Dr. John Christopher, one of the greatest herbalist s of the 20th century says: “When I was 35,
the doctors said I would be dead by 43. I had advan ced hardening of the arteries. The veins
would stick out of my hands like pencils. I suffere d from crippling arthritis, stomach ulcers, and
I was victim of two horrible auto accidents. No ins urance company would touch me, not even
for a $1000 policy.”
“I started taking a spoonful of cayenne pepper thre e times a day in hot water. I did this for
ten years.  “Ten years after I had started using cayenne, a gr oup wanted me to have a $100,000
policy to insure them on the business deal we were working out. I went for the examination.
Since this was a large policy, the insurance compan y required two medical doctors. I took the
examinations and one medical doctor, when he got th rough, said, ‘Well, this is astounding. I
see your age is 45, but you have the venous structu re of a teenage boy. I’ve never seen
anything like it.’”
“I went to the other doctor. He did the blood press ure test. He pumped his equipment up five
different times. I said, ‘What’s the matter? Doesn’ t your equipment work?’ The doctor replied,
‘Oh yes, it always has, up till now, but I keep loo king at your chart and it says you are 45 years
of age and yet your pressure is absolutely perfect. ’ I said, ‘That’s correct. It is perfect.’ He
also gave me a clean bill of health. So I passed, a t 45 years of age, for a $100,000 policy with
good blood pressure, thanks to cayenne.”
EIGHT-YEAR-OLD SHOT WITH GUN
Besides lowering high blood pressure and doing othe r wonderful things, cayenne is fantastic for
stopping bleeding. Listen to this true story Dr. Ch ristopher used to tell his audiences.
“Once a child was shot in the abdomen; a bullet hit  the spine, ricocheted, and made a second
wound leaving the body. One of Dr. Christopher’s he rbal students living next door heard the
shot and raced over. When she arrived, the eight-ye ar-old was gushing blood out both sides.
They had been playing ‘cops and robbers’ with their  father’s guns which she found under a
pillow.”
“She ran to the cabinet and mixed a tablespoonful of  cayenne in a glass of water.  She then
poured it down the boy’s throat and called the ambu lance which was 18 miles away. The
emergency room attendant said that the boy would pr obably bleed to death, being that the
distance was so great. When the child arrived at th e hospital, he was the center of attention,
not because his condition was so serious, but becau se he was chatting a mile a minute—and
there was NO bleeding!”  “The bleeding had stopped by the time they arrived at the hospital. The chief doctor said to
the parents, ‘I have seen many accident victims in my life, but this is the first time in such an
emergency operation, that I have opened an abdomen to find no blood, except for a small
amount that was there before the bleeding stopped s o quickly. The cayenne pepper has saved
your boy’s life.’”
In that same year, Dr. Christopher treated four oth er gunshot victims. Each case responded the
same. Sometimes, the blood coagulated and came out in clumps before it stopped completely.
Dr Christopher even used cayenne tincture directly on open wounds. It may sting, but the
bleeding stops. Even if the wound is a deep cut exp osing bone, that wound may still be filled
with cayenne pepper. If cayenne is not available, b lack pepper may be used. Many people,
when they see the skin is ruddied by cayenne, belie ve that the skin is irritated. But cayenne is
a counter-irritant. Cayenne brings the blood to the  surface to take away any toxic poisons and
start the healing. The redness comes to the skin fr om blood that has rushed to the surface to
assist carrying off wastes.
FINEST FOODS FOR THE HEART
Dr. Christopher said, “In 35 years of practice, and  working with people and teaching, I have
never, on house calls, lost one heart attack patien t. The reason is, whenever I go in, if they
are still breathing, I pour down them a cup of caye nne tea (a teaspoon of cayenne in a cup
of hot water.)  Usually, within minutes, they are up and around.”
He says, “I received an emergency call in the middl e of the night. A woman in Salt Lade City
had just suffered a severe heart attack and passed out. I rushed over and fed the woman hot
cayenne tea. Within minutes, she was sitting up fee ling fine. The hot cayenne tea is faster-
acting than tablets, capsules or cold tea. The warm  tea opens up the cell structure and makes
it expand and accept the cayenne that much faster. It goes directly to the heart through the
arterial system and feeds it a powerful food.”
“To show the value of cayenne – what a wonderful he art food it is, this story has been repeated
in a number of publications. Doctors in the East pu t some live heart tissue into a sterile beaker
filled with distilled water and fed it nothing but cayenne pepper. During the time they were
feeding the heart tissue, they would have to trim i t continually, every few days because it
would grow so rapidly. Having no control glands (th e pituitary and pineal glands), the heart
tissue just continued to grow rapidly. They kept th e tissue alive for 15 years. They eventually
destroyed it so they could do more research on it. This shows the high food value cayenne gives
to the heart.”
“In most cases a weak heart is a malnourished heart. The heart hasn’t had a decent meal for so
long that it is practically starved. We give the he art a good meal. We don’t whip it with
nitroglycerin or digitalis or some other type of dr ug to force it to beat rapidly. We try to bring
more food value to the heart so that it could find a little help to keep it going.”
HEART ATTACK TREATMENT
Dr. Christopher prepared one teaspoon of 100,000 he at unit cayenne in one cup of hot
water. Dr. Richard Schulze used one tablespoon of 2 50,000 heat unit cayenne. Steep until
it is cool enough to drink without scalding. Prop u p the patient and pour the cayenne tea
down the patient’s throat.  The heart attack will stop immediately. In case yo u don’t have
cayenne around, use black pepper, but triple the do se.  Cayenne reduces the mucus in the venous system (and  all other systems of body) and
immediately increases the circulation. Cayenne equa lizes the blood pressure, feeds the
necessary elements into the cell structure of the a rteries, veins and capillaries. It helps to
reduce and normalize the blood flow.
WHEN DISEASES STRIKE FAST
A woman saved her companion from almost fatal heart  attack – with Tobasco sauce! An 83-
year-old woman from Meridian MS runs a small rest h ome for elderly people. One of her invalids
was having a heart attack late in the night. Virgin ia said, “She was dying I could see. I held her
and she died in my arms. I kept putting the tobasco  sauce drops to her tongue as your report
had told me to do, and the nurse’s aid got mad at m e for using the hot sauce and not calling
for help. The nurse said to me, ‘Dammit, can’t you see she’s dead. Call the funeral home.’ But
the lady revived and lived two more years. Virginia  carries cayenne under her bra so she always
has it with her in case she needs it. Who ever knew  you could save life with a common
condiment.
According to master herbalist Dr. Richard Schulze, “You should have a bottle of the tincture or
a bag of the powder in the kitchen, bathroom, bedro om and the glove box of your car. Just like
the American Express Ad, ‘ Don’t leave home without it! ’ Cayenne can be placed directly on
wounds, even when the person is cut to the bone. Ju st sprinkle the cayenne powder into the
wound. I have never seen cayenne cause infection. T he blood loss stops in seconds. I just had a
two-inch gash down to my bone on my leg and cayenne  stopped all bleeding. I could see the
bone – and just pack cayenne right into the wound. However cayenne stops the bleeding so fast
– in 2 to 3 seconds –


 pure body.

Gradually you should introduce a “normal” diet, on which you could live on for
indefinite period of time.

Note that most of your efforts will be lost if you return to your old habits. To mainta in
the body in a healthy and pure state, you should take care not to poison it again. It is
strongly recommended, that you eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid  meat,
fish, and eggs and any food containing extracts, colors and flavors. For more detail s see
the section about diet later on in this thread.

It is very important to continue drinking at least 2-3 liters of pure water each da y.
Remember that our body is 75% water and all scientists agree that aging proc ess is
equivalent to slow dehydration of the cells in our body.

  39  3. Oxygen Therapies

Oxygen therapies use oxygen in various forms (ozone for example) to assist the body i n
the healing process. Their indisputable effectiveness comes from the fact, that  oxygen
is a key substance used by our body in the detoxification process. The rate of
detoxification can be greatly increased, if the body has an excess of oxygen ava ilable to
it. Selected safe and very effective techniques of oxygen therapy are l isted below. Note,
that breathing pure oxygen is NOT listed as the effective therapy. It is not t he quantity
of oxygen, which is the most important. Most effective healing techniques use minute
quantities  of active atomic oxygen, in concentrations occurring naturally in spring
water and the air in the mountains.

Enema. This was described earlier in detail earlier in this thread. Adding minute
quantities of hydrogen peroxide to the pure water used for an enema, delivers small
quantities of oxygen directly to excreting organs, helping them to work better. Never
exceed the concentration of 1 drop of (30%) hydrogen peroxide per 2 liters of water  for
your enema. Your safety and comfort are most important. If in doubt, use much less.
Do not use hydrogen peroxide sold in pharmacies for external use only. It contains so
called “stabilizers” which may be toxic. Use only “analytical” or “food”  grade
hydrogen peroxide.

Bath.  The skin is the largest organ of your body. Soaking it in diluted hydrogen
peroxide is very beneficial to your body. Minute amounts of pure atomic oxygen are
delivered simultaneously everywhere around your body, greatly stimulating t he
detoxification process. You can go to Lourdes mineral springs in France for a bath, or
you can simply prepare a bath at home, by adding 20-50 milliliters of 30% hydrogen
peroxide to the entire water volume (100 liters). It would be best to use filtered or r ain
water with no chlorine and other chemicals. If you have a pool, you can replace the
chlorine water treatment by the ozone water treatment system. Ozone (or UV ) water
treatment is borrowing yet another example from nature. Ozone produced natural ly
from oxygen by UV rays in the atmosphere, reacts with the moisture in clouds,
producing pure and healthy rain. Having the ozone treated water in your pool you can
swim in it and drink the water from it too.

Oral intake: - It has been demonstrated (see oxygen Therapies by Ed McCabe listed in
the references.), that taking diluted hydrogen peroxide orally also is benef icial to our
health. The most controversial issue is the concentration. In my opinion we should not
exceed by much the concentrations which occur naturally in the rain water high i n the
mountains or in the water from natural mineral springs. Another good gauge is taste.
The taste of hydrogen peroxide is extremely unpleasant and we are quite sensitive  to it.
So, if you cannot feel discomfort drinking the solution, the concentration is most likely
safe. Again, do not use hydrogen peroxide sold in pharmacies for external use only, as
it contains so called “stabilizers” which may be toxic. Use only “analyt ical” or “food”
grade hydrogen peroxide.

Ozone treatment :- Ozone (O3) is a very active form of oxygen. It exists naturally in
the atmosphere – it is created from molecular oxygen (O2) by the UV rays fr om the  40  sun. Ozone is the essential ingredient of fresh air. Ozone is unstable: it breaks down
into oxygen after only a few minutes at room temperature (25 Degree C), but its
supplies are continuously updated using the UV energy from the sun. High in
mountains there is a lot of ozone in the air. We can create ozone in our home, by yet
again imitating the ways of nature: using a quartz lamp to generate UV ray s. Because
ozone is so active, it neutralizes (by oxidization) all odors very effectively. Breathing
air, with the concentration of ozone similar to that of mountains, is quite beneficial. Be
careful not to exceed natural concentrations of ozone in the air you breathe. Your body
will give you a warning if you are doing so: dryness of the throat and/or discomfor t in
your lungs. Do not ignore it.

Do not ever breathe ozone produced using a high voltage arc. Such ozone is initially
very hot and it is so active, that it reacts with nitrogen in the arc plasma, crea ting
nitrogen oxides, which are quite toxic. The air around a high voltage arc contains not
only ozone, but also nitrogen oxides, which are dangerous.

“Cold” ozone, generated at low temperature by an UV quartz lamp is safe. Such “ cold”
ozone is naturally produced in the atmosphere by the activity of the sun and is an
essential ingredient of fresh air.

For more details consult the book “Oxygen therapies” by Ed McCabe listed in the
References. It is based on several thousands scientific articles from m edical journals.

  41  4. Exercise

Moderate exercise can significantly accelerate the natural detoxif ication of the body, by
improving the circulation of body fluids, increasing the intake of oxygen to our body,
speeding the rate of metabolism and increasing the excretion rate through incr eased
sweating. This is exactly why people feel great after undergoing su ch exercise. They
purify their bodies and they all notice, that their minds instantly become shar per.

I would like to stress the word moderate  here. If the intensity of the exercise is
excessive, not only such exercise is not beneficial, but may be even harmful. If you are
“loosing your breath” for example, it is a sign that the body has entered an anae robic
(low oxygen) emergency mode of operation and it is a fair warning from your body th at
you should slow down.

One method of assessing right level of physical activity for you is to observ e your pulse
rate. If it exceeds 90-100 you should slow down. Another good gauge is this: if you feel
comfortable continuing the exercise (jogging, walking, skating, roller skat ing, tennis
etc.) over long periods of time, this level of activity is right for you. Note, that w ith
training you can increase the intensity of exercise, but it is not necessary. A fter
exercising  at the right intensity you should be more energetic and, most impor tantly,
have clearer, sharper mind. Remember, that we should enjoy whatever we do.

For more details, consult “The oxygen breakthrough” by Hendler, listed in Refere nces.

5. Sauna

The sauna is an ancient treatment developed by civilizations living in cold clima tes.
Because of the cold climate, their bodies tend not to sweat much, so these cold climat e
dwellers invented the sauna to promote improved circulation of body fluids, speed up
metabolism and accelerate sweating: a great natural purification and det oxification
function of the body.

It is best to experience a sauna in short 10-15 minute sessions, with 5-10 minutes
“cooling down” intervals, repeating such a cycle 3-4 times. During the “cool ing down”
intervals do not use pool or showers which have chlorinated water. Ozone treated
water, clean river, rain, lake or sea water is OK. Your skin has been cleansed b y the
flow of the sweat and in such a clean state it will absorb the chlorine from the wa ter
into your body. It is best to use a towel to dry the sweat from your body. Do not allow
the sweat to evaporate, because it contains toxins your body has jus excreted, a nd you
do not want any of them to be re-absorbed back.

  42  6. Removal of dental amalgams

Dental amalgams, whether gold or silver, contain mercury one of the most toxic metals
to our body. Having amalgam fillings, is like having a constant supply of toxic
mercury, released slowly but constantly.(Please see the reference for mor e evidence and
information).

Removal and replacement of amalgam fillings instantly removes the source of m ercury
supply, however the mechanical removal process itself (drilling) can tempor arily
increase the concentration of mercury in your body.

When you decide to replace the amalgams, make sure that you are already on the


 promoting a condition of unbalance it may encourage
another form of disease.
   Dr. Morgan's work with dogs was with several different vitamins. All dogs that
received no niacin and no pantothenic acid survived; grew moderately well; but the hair
turned gray and they were sedate and elderly in behavior. Giving either niacin or
pantothenic acid to these dogs, while deficient in other vitamins, resulted in a gradual
loss of neuro-muscular control and sometim es sudden death. She thinks that giving
large amounts of any one vitamin, particularly niacin, which is frequently done in
pellagra, to persons subsisting on diets having multiple deficiencies is exceedingly dangerous.    If any food is so bad that it needs to be "enriched" or "fortified" with synthetic
vitamins it is so bad it should be rejected as the artificial enrichment corrects only a part of the evil.
   Dr. Morgan states that fortification of foods with thiamin or niacin may precipitate
conditions worse than the subacute deficiency state produces; that the usual ordinary diet, while inadequate, is more nearly properly balanced. If we are to have improvement
in these deficiencies, general improvement is essential. The steps that must be taken to
correct the bad health conditions due to diet deficiencies at the present time are mainly
steps in the education, first, of the medical profession; and second, of the laity.
   That the doctors suffer equally with the lay public in deficiency diseases is quite
evident. Mortality records show that doctors die from heart and blood vessel diseases in
as great numbers as does the general population. The average doctor has as much
pyorrhea and tooth decay as the average layman. The average doctor is as often crippled
by neuritis and arthritis and has as much appendicitis, gall bladder disease, stomach
ulcer and cancer as the layman. The need for educating doctors is very great. The
reception of new ideas such as these is slow in the medical profession.
   It must be remembered that an appeal to a lay organization such as the Rotary Club, a
church group, a chamber of commerce as to a professional group such as the Bar
Association, or the county medical society for improvement along dietary lines is an
appeal to a diseased group. Following a l ecture by the author in a Midwest town, a
cartoon appeared in the newspaper of a fat, misshapen woman talking in her kitchen to
another fat, misshapen woman standing in the door. The first woman was saying to the second, "I always go to these lectures on diets; but I always come home and cook the
same things."
   An appeal to the group at the Rotary Club or woman's club or chamber of commerce
who are suffering from tooth decay, scurvy, blood vessel disease, etc., is very much like
an appeal to a group of persons who are habitu ally taking morphine or codein. They are
habitues. Their habits have weakened their physical resistance and their will. A large
proportion of these persons are physically and mentally incapable of adopting radical changes in their diets. They are urged to eat green salads and drink milk. This often
results in raucous laughter and has often cal led to the mind of the author the raucous
laughter which greeted the Vicar of Wakefield in his attempts to better the conditions of
the miserable and criminal peoples to whom he preached.
   Educational lectures addressed to the physicians might seem to meet a better
reception, as physicians are very eager to make  a better record than their competitors.
They are anxious to cure diseases in which their competitors have failed. But even with such urge in the background, the doctor looks with a cold, fishy eye on all changes in
his own dietary habits. He believes he has done  pretty well. He fails to recognize his
own deficiencies because his standards are wrong. He knows and treats marked departures from normal, but subclinical departures from normal meet no recognition as
these correspond too closely to his own and to his family's physical condition. His own
children need treatment for pyorrhea and tooth decay, St. Vitus' dance, and rheumatism.
They have diseased tonsils and only partially functioning eyes. They have rickets and constipation.    The average doctor may be looked upon as a factor standing for the status quo. He has
been taught certain therapeutic measures to use as he would use splints on a broken arm.
He has had nothing to do with the breaking of the arm. His work is only to fix the arm after it is broken. He pays little attention to the prevention of deficiency disease. He
only thinks of doing something about the coro nary diseases, the cancer, the ulcer, or the
mouth disease after it has occurred.
   The editorial policy of the leading medical journals has been to play down everything
connected with vitamin deficiencies for fear that vitamins will get too much in the
hands of the laity. In spite of their attitude, this has occurred. The layman has
recognized that there is something valuable to be had along this line, and in a dumb, muddling way he has reached for it. Around half a billion dollars is spent in the United
States every year for vitamin preparations This is mostly on a nonintelligent basis. But
these remedies have undoubtedly helped in some small way, but not in a way that could
be achieved if the remedies were intelligently used.
   This applies to vitamins bought over the counter, and also to vitamins prescribed by
physicians. The physician has been educated mostly by salesmen who represent
commercial houses. The salesman gauges his instruction by the profits to be made in the
particular product he may be selling. Since the medical colleges pay little attention to this subject except in an adverse way, and the editorial policy of the medical journals is to consider it a minor part of medical practice, the field is left open for the physician to
be educated and exploited by the clever salesman.
   The hope for improvement along the lines of education is, then, a hope for something
to be done after many years of long, painful effort. If we are to receive the necessary
help and receive it in the shortest possible time, changes will have to be made by
legislation. The feeble and bungling attempt made along this line in connection with
white flour and bread, and the eagerness with which millers and bakers came into line,
after years of stoutly claiming that their flour and bread were right and perfect as they were, shows that legislative or other authority coming from a sufficiently high source
may change everything in a few weeks or months in connection with food products.
   We shall probably never be able to educate the population of the United States to the
value of health-producing foods, but by law or decree we may banish the deficiency
foods and substitute optimum foods in a few we eks' time. One of the obstructions in the
past to a proper information of the public has been the commercial interests at stake.
These commercial interests have been able to influence research favorable to them in some universities. They have been able to influence some eminent physicians and some
editors of medical journals to acclaim the merit of their goods both in lectures and in
public prints. They have been able to keep their deficiency products in the stores and on the kitchen shelves by plausible speeches on the radio and in the common widely read
magazines.
   The foods which have carried the greatest th reat against the health of the state and the
individual are sugar, white flour, and canned goods. The sugar is a concentrated
carbohydrate containing no vitamin or mineral of  any kind. Every ounce of sugar that is
taken into the human economy reduces the ability to resist infection, as it furnishes only
calories and none of the elements which protect against infections. The importation and
manufacture of sugar should be prohibited as the drug heroin is prohibited.    All this is true for white flour, as it is nearly pure carbohydrate. White flour does
contain, however, around 7 per cent protein. This makes it a somewhat better food than
sugar. But neither the protein nor the carbohydrate in white flour contains any appreciable amount of minerals or vitamins. By legislative enactment both sugar and
white flour should be banished from the American diet. As a substitute for sugar, honey
may be used. Honey contains all of the ordinary food minerals and valuable enzymes. It
is not probable that anyone will overeat on honey, as the appetite for sweets is very quickly satisfied after a fraction of an ounce has been taken.
   The only proper replacement for white flour  is whole-wheat flour. The same principle
holds true in connection with other grains--rye,  rice, corn, etc. Any grain flour should be
consumed only as whole-grain flour. Any attempt to separate and discard either the
germ or the bran or both removes valuable minerals and vitamins. As whole-wheat flour
does not keep, the milling should be done by the baker. The law in regard to milling and
baking should provide that none but whole-grain flour be used and the wholegrain flour
used in any bakery in any day should be ground by suitable mills in that same bakery on the morning of the same day in which the baking takes place. The procedure should be
to provide clean wheat or other grain early in the morning; putting this grain through the
mill; taking the fresh flour and making it into bread or other bakery goods immediately following the milling. For home use the fresh flour could be delivered daily as milk is
distributed. In England at the present time the milling of white flour is prohibited. They tried the addition of synth

The Treasure House Within You
Infinite riches are all around you if you will open your mental  eyes
and behold the treasure house of infinity within you. There is a gold
mine within you from which you can extract everything you need to
live life gloriously, joyously, and abun-dantly.
Many are sound asleep because they do not know about this gold
mine of infinite intelligence and boundless love within themselv es.
Whatever you want, you can draw forth. A mag-netized piece of ste el
will lift about twelve times its own weight, and if you demag netize
this same piece of steel, it will not even lift a feather. Similarly, there
are two types of men. There is the magnetized man who is fu ll of
confidence and faith. He knows that he is born to win and to succe ed.
Then, there is the type of man who is demagnetized. He is full of  fears
and doubts. Opportunities come, and he says, “I might fail; I might
lose my money; people will laugh at me.” This type of man w ill not
get very far in life because, if he is afraid to go forwar d, he will
simply stay where he is. Become a magnetized man and discover the
master secret of the ages.
• The master secret of the ages
What, in your opinion, is the master secret of the ages? The secret of
atomic energy? Thermonuclear energy? The neu-tron bomb?
Interplanetary travel? No—not any of these. Then, what is thi s master
secret? Where can one find it, and how can it be contacted and
brought into action? The answer is extraordinarily simple. This  secret
is the marvelous, miracle-working power found in your own
subconscious mind, the last place that most people would seek it.
• The marvelous power of your subconscious
You can bring into your life more power, more wealth, more health,
more happiness, and more joy by learning to con-tact and release t he
hidden power of your subconscious mind.
 14  You need not acquire this power; you already possess it. But, you
want to learn how to use it; you want to understand it so that you can
apply it in all departments of your life.
As you follow the simple techniques and processes set forth in t his

 lives and world today. Distilled water is the best choice of water for enemas.  Tap water is never a good idea for enemas due to the chlorine and ﬂuoride content.  I used bottled mineral water because I did not have access to distilled water.  After each enema session, I took one probiotic capsule.HOW MANY DAYSI discussed this issue in Chapter 1, and I would just like to add that you do not have to do a 40-day water fast to beneﬁt from the experience!  The body can do amazing healing in just 3 days.  Realize as well that the process of healing is a journey, not a race!  There is no ﬁnish line when you are ‘done.’  As we go through the ebb and ﬂow of life, there will be times when we need more healing and other times when we are ok.  Be ok with who you are now and where you are at on your journey.  Listen to your intuition and ultimately do what feels right for you.Preparation For a Water Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!19ADDING LIME, SALT, HERBAL TEAS ETC. TO YOUR WATERMany people talk about doing a water fast but then explain that they add fresh lemon to their water, or salts, and maybe even some honey or molasses.  Please keep in mind that a pure water fast is exactly that – pure water only!  So if you start adding these ‘extras,’ then technically you are still feeding the body food.  The end result is that the body will not go as deep into the healing process, and actually you may wind up feeling more hunger pains as the body waits for more food.During my water fast, I took only 2 probiotic capsules per day, one after the enema and one at night before bed.  Now there are some who may say well that is not pure water either.  But I follow the recommendations of Dr. Richard Anderson and I agree with him that it is very important to replenish the good bacteria into the body every day while fasting to ensure no overgrowth of things like candida or other pathogenic bacteria.  I took his brand of probiotic, called Flora Grow.EXTRA SUPPORT FOR HEALINGThere are a few other things that I did during my water fast that helped improve my overall experience.  First, I did dry skin brushing daily and applied virgin organic coconut oil on my skin twice a day (morning and night).  I can tell you that the smell of coconut oil while you are fasting is such a treat, and I also liked knowing I was absorbing something so healthy and pure directly through my skin. Preparation For a Water Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!20I also used a lot of essential oils, sprinkling them around my house to make it smell nice and also dabbing on my skin and sometimes just even smelling the oils from the bottle.  I have fantastic organic blends which work instantly to help the body relax and I would feel the beneﬁt right away.  I used pure peppermint oil if I was feeling nauseous and lavender oil to relax.  During my long fast, someone gave me spikenard oil, which is rumored to be the oil that Mary Magdalene used to anoint the feet of Jesus.  It was often used in ancient Egyptian and Jewish cultures.  It’s recommended to rub a small drop on the forehead in the area of the third eye before going into meditation or sleep, and I can tell you that, wow, it’s powerful!CRYSTALSIf anyone knows me, they know I love my crystals!  Having been a Crystal Healing Practitioner gave me the opportunity to work with many different vibrations and energies of stones and of course, I have a house full of them.  During fasting especially, we are much more sensitive to these subtle energies.  I usually always have crystals in my hands, in my bed at night and on my body while lying down whenever I am cleansing or fasting.  I can’t give too many secrets away and tell you exactly which ones, but what I can say is feel free to explore the idea of using crystal energy to enhance the power of your healing.Preparation For a Water Fast
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!21Chapter 3Warnings when Water FastingWater fasting is a powerful and intense experience.  When done properly, you can have amazing results.  It takes a strong-willed individual to be able to successfully do a water fast.  The following are some important things to watch out for during your program.POTASSIUM WARNING2 years ago I experienced low potassium levels during my ﬁrst 3-day water fast, and luckily knew to immediately stop.  This is what happened:‘I decided to start with a 3-day water fast.  I had already prepared beforehand by doing a 7-day intestinal cleanse and I was ready to take it to the next level.  The ﬁrst day seemed to go ok besides some weakness and fatigue.  On the second day, I started to get muscle cramps and they got progressively worse rather quickly.  My whole body seemed to seize up in cramps but especially so in my legs.  By the third day, the cramps were so bad that I had trouble standing up, yet alone walking.  The pain in my legs was like nothing I have ever felt before.  I also had the distinct feeling that something was seriously wrong.  Then it hit me: potassium.  I knew in that moment that I was suffering from signiﬁcant potassium deﬁciency and I knew I had to break the fast.  I immediately had some coconut water and within just a few minutes, the pain diminished.  I then went out and bought some fresh papaya and ate small amounts at a time.  By that evening, I was completely back to normal with no pain or cramping whatsoever.I learned a lot from that experience.  I spent a lot of time afterwards trying to replenish my mineral and vitamin reserves as much as possible.  I added more dark leafy greens to my diet and made even more effort to have variety in my fruits and vegetables.’If you start to get extreme muscle cramps, to the point where you have trouble standing and feel like you are going to collapse, you could be suffering from a lack of potassium.  You may also feel quite distinctly that something is very wrong.  If this happens, listen to your body – it is trying to warn you!I don’t want to scare anyone about this.  Don’t be alarmed if you feel minor cramping in your calves or arms while fasting.  Minor muscle cramps are normal.  In that case, just rest and drink more water.  But if the cramps turn severe, then you should seriously think about breaking the fast and taking some juice or liquid minerals right away.  If you quickly start to feel better, you will know that your body needed potassium.Signs of potassium deﬁciency include: muscle cramps, muscle fatigue and weakness, irregular heartbeat, general fatigue, mental confusion and irritability.  If you experience this, immediately drink a few tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar in water.  Apple cider vinegar is an excellent source Warnings When Water Fasting
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!23of potassium and because it is in liquid form, it is very easily and quickly absorbed.MAGNESIUM WARNINGSigns of magnesium deﬁciency tend to be more subtle than signs of potassium deﬁciency and can include: leg cramps, muscle pain and twitches, migraine headaches and insomnia. The symptoms of magnesium deﬁciency tend to be not nearly as severe or as sudden as a fast drop in potassium levels. Additionally, many of the same symptoms of magnesium deﬁciency will be routinely experienced during water fasting, especially headaches and insomnia. For that reason, it might be difﬁcult to know for sure if you are experiencing actual magnesium deﬁciency or a simple cleansing reaction. The good news is that magnesium can be absorbed directly through the skin via magnesium oil spray or by taking Epsom salt baths (magnesium sulfate). If your minor leg cramping is caused by a lack of magnesium, a simple Epsom salt bath should do the trick. Before you start your water fast, buy a few bags of Epsom salts at your local supermarket or pharmacy. Plan to take an Epsom salt bath using 1-2 cups of Epsom salts for the ﬁrst several days of your fast. This can help reduce any minor leg cramping and can also help rebuild magnesium levels for the later stages of your fast. TASTE OF HEAVY METALSWarnings When Water Fasting
!www.healthybliss.net!!!!!!!!!24If you start to experience the taste of metal in your mouth during your fast and it doesn’t go away, you could be detoxifying heavy metals from your body.  It’s not a good idea to continue with only water if this occurs.  Instead, break the fast and consider doing some natural heavy metal detoxing before you consider trying another water fast.PHYSICAL CLEANSING REACTIONSThere are many cleansing reactions that one can experience during their fast.  The most typical ones would include headaches, fatigue, nausea, minor aches and pains, blurred vision, skin rashes or eruptions and trouble sleeping.  For headaches, you may want to try an organic coffee enema or breathe in pure peppermint essential oil.   Otherwise, just be gentle and patient with your body – rest as much as you possibly can and be grateful to know that your body is ﬁnally strong enough to start eliminating excess toxic waste.  If

SOUPS.

WERE we to follow strictly the highest dietetic law, soups
would not be mentioned in this work, except to say that they
are harmful and undoubtedly responsible for much mischief
in the civilized stomach; but in all reform work, we have
found it best to pursue lines of least opposition—to stay
within sight of those we are endeavoring to lead.
We do not interdict soups because they are not good
food, but because they are swallowed without mastication.
The objection to soup can be largely overcome by retaining it
in the mouth long enough for it to become thoroughly or
partially insalivated. This can be accomplished either by
sipping it very slowly, or mixing with it very dry, hard
foods—something that requires mastication.
It is a very foolish custom to make soup in a pot or kettle,
when we remember that the only work that saliva and teeth
were created to perform was that of making soup. Every
particle of food taken into th e mouth should be made into
soup before it is swallowed. If this was done, indigestion, that
great American disease, would disappear from the catalogue
of human ills.
We give here a few recipes for soups only because the
soup habit is so firmly fixed in the mind of the housewife and
the epicure that they can hard ly conceive of a decent dinner
without them. All soups may be warmed sufficiently to serve
hot without cooking.

SWEET POTATO SOUP.
Sweet Potato,       Milk,
Cream,               Butter.
Grind a sweet potato on a vegetable mill, add just enough
milk to cover. Allow this to  stand seven or eight hours.
Slightly heat (not enough to cook), stir in a small piece of
butter and enough milk and cream mixed to bring to the
consistency desired. Serve in hot plates.

FRESH GREEN PEA SOUP.
Green Peas,                      Onion or Celery,
Milk.
Hull quantity desired. Grind very fine in vegetable mill,
grind with this just a trace of celery or onion for flavor, add
enough rich milk to bring to the consistency of soup and
warm to about 145° to 150° Fahrenheit. Salt to taste and
serve.

VEGETABLE SOUP (NO. 1).
 1 Tomato,  1 small Apple,
 1 Carrot,   1 oz. Nuts,
 1 Small Pepper,   ½  cup Wheat Flakes,
 1 Stalk Celery,  Milk. Put all through fine vegetable grinder, add sufficient milk
to make quantity desired, allow to stand an hour or two, heat,
stirring in ½  cup of thick cream, and serve.

VEGETABLE SOUP (NO. 2).
 1 White Turnip,   A little Cabbage,
 1 Carrot,   Few pieces Celery,
 1 very small Onion,   Salt,
Milk.
Chop fine or grind all vege tables. Hardly cover with
warm water, and let stand thr ee or four hours until soft. Add
1½ pints of rich warm milk, thicken with a little flaked wheat,
add butter and serve. This will ser ve five or six people. To
this can be added stiffly beaten whites of two eggs just before
serving. It will be an improvement.

PEA OR BEAN SOUP.
There is a pea and bean flour in the market from which
soup is easily made by adding to it warm milk or cream. It
should be made and allowed to stand an hour or two before
serving.

CREAM OF TOMATO SOUP.
 Oat Flakes,   Milk or Cream,
 Fresh Tomatoes,   Salt.
Take one pound of oat flakes, cover well with warm milk
and let stand three or four hours, or until very soft. Then
mash through a coarse strainer, which will produce a very
thick cream, which forms the body of the soup. Add to this
sufficient milk or cream (cream preferred) to make quantity
desired, and the juice of half a dozen ripe tomatoes. Any
cream soup can be made in the same way, using different
articles.
Much care should be exercised in adding the milk, so as
not to destroy the thick, creamy consistency of the soup.

CREAM OF CEREAL SOUP.
Take any uncooked flaked or mascerated cereal, soak
over night in just enough milk to cover. Add to this enough
milk or cream to bring to the consistency desired, to which
can be added as a flavoring any ground vegetable or fruit
juice.

CREAM OF CELERY.
 Oat Flakes,   Cream,
 Celery,   Celery Salt,
Flaked Wheat.
Make same as tomato, onl y add tender celery chopped
fine, instead of tomato, and a dash of celery salt.
 CREAM OF CORN.
 Green Corn,   Salt,
 Oat Flakes,   Cream.
To be made the same as cream of tomato, only use green
corn in place of tomato. Cut tips of the grain with a sharp
knife, and scrape cob well with a dull one. Mix as above
recipe.
Note:—To all soups can be added the stiffly beaten white
of eggs just before serving, which gives it a delicious creamy
taste.
VEGETABLES.

VEGETABLES  occupy a very important place In the
elementary food menu. They contain elements that cannot be
secured elsewhere.
When thoroughly masticated, in addition to their
nutritive value, they serve the body as an alimentary
lubricant. No meal can be made complete without some green
plant.

CELERY.
Wash, trim and scrape the stalks, selecting those that are
white and tender. Should be left in ice-cold water, until they
are wanted, which makes them very crisp.

COLD SLAW.
There is nothing more delicious or necessary than
shredded cabbage, usually ca lled cold slaw. It possesses
valuable food properties, occ upying the same place in human
diet that hay does in diet of the horse or cow.

LETTUCE.
Lettuce is undoubtedly the best of salads. Use the tender
leaves only, and put in cold water for at least twenty minutes
before serving, to make them crisp. Drain in colander and toss
in a napkin until thoroughly dry.

CARROTS AND TURNIPS
Are very nice cut into cubes and served on a lettuce leaf
with or without a salad dressing.

FRESH TOMATOES.
Peal with a very sharp knife. Slice and cover with Hygia
dressing or powdered sugar and lemon juice. They can also
be made very delicious by covering with thick cream.

SWEET GREEN CORN.
Shave the tips from the grains with a very sharp knife.
Split the grains row by row and scrape the remaining pulp
from the cob with a dull knife. Add butter, a little salt or
cream and heat to a temperature of 145 Fahrenheit. This
thoroughly masticated will be found a most delicious and
nourishing dish.

FRESH GREEN PEAS.
Take the quantity desired, hull and grind in a vegetable
mill, add butter, a dash of salt, and warm to a temperature of
about 145° Fahrenheit, and serve.
 CUCUMBERS.
Take number desired. Peel and slice thin. Soak in ice
water for two or three hours before serving.

OLIVES.
Olives are a very important article in the elementary
menu. The ripe olive, though not so popular nor so
extensively used, is in reality  much superior to the green,
because it was allowed to ripen upon the tree.

RADISHES.—CARROTS.—ONIONS.—SWEET POTATOES.—
TURNIPS.—BEETS.—GREEN PEPPERS.
These articles can be ground in a vegetable mill
altogether, or they can be eaten separately. If ground together
by the addition of nuts they compose a very nourishing and
necessary article of diet.

NUTS AND CARROTS.
Put two medium carrots and a half cup of pecan meats
through a fine vegetable grinder; moisten with rich milk, set
on a stove a few minutes (not long enough to cook), stirring
in half cup of cream, a little butter and salt. Serve.

CORN FOR WINTER USE.
Cut the corn from the cob, before it gets too hard; to each
gallon of cut corn add two scant cups of salt. Pack tightly in a
large jar, cover with a white cloth, put a heavy weight on to
keep the corn under the brine which soon forms. It is very
necessary to wash the cloth every morning for about two
weeks. If the corn is too salty, wash thoroughly. Before
sending it to the table add a little warm cream and let stand
for an hour or two before serving.

SUN-COOKED CORN.
Cut sweet corn from the cob with a sharp knife while in a
tender or milky state, and dry thoroughly in the sunshine. Put
in small cloth bags for future use. To prepare for table, place
quantity to be used in a deep vessel, almost cover with warm
water


” that even after wading through the explanation, you’re still not through with
gathering what you need to know to change everything about the way to change the way
you are experiencing change.
So watch your ego work here. Just watch your ego work on you to put this book down, to
just drop this whole line of inquiry. If it succeeds, this wouldn’t be the first time that your
own ego has been your greatest enemy.
It is as that wonderful comic strip character, Pogo, created by the l ate Walt Kelly, used to
say: “We have met the enemy, and they is us.”
Now let me explain what the ego is and what it is not. The ego is the part of your mind
that differentiates “you” from “everything else.” As such, it is a vital part of the technology
of thought. It is that part that can conceive not only of a thought, but of the thinker of the
thought.
The ego is, therefore, one of your greatest gifts, because it allows you to experience
“you” as you, and not everybody and everything else. The Actual Tru th is that you ARE
everybody and everything else... but the Part Of The All that calls itself “you” must be able
to experience Itself separately, or It cannot do what It became physical to do; It cannot
experience what it came to experience. Therefore, It individuates  Itself —and the ego is the
tool with which It does this.
The ego knows that Who You Really Are is bigger than the part of your self -awareness
that resides only in your mind. In this, the ego is a great gift, a wonderful device, an
incredible  tool. Yet your ego can run amok, and when it does this it is like one of those
runaway computers in science -fiction stories that suddenly thinks IT is your master, rather
than you being its owner.
When your ego runs amok it not only continues to do the jo b of separating you from
Everything Else, it separates you from your Self. It makes you think that you are IT, not that IT is a part of you. Your ego has then confused its job, imagining that it must protect you
from knowing your very Self.
So when your eg o tries to get you to feel bored, or that this narrative is not moving fast
enough, that is your signal to get out of your mind. You need to be out of your mind to
understand the Mechanics of the Mind and the System of the Soul. So just step away from
your  thoughts at that moment and keep reading. You will hear the incessant pleading of
your ego to drop all this already, but pay it no mind.
Now I have said here that experience is not an outward thing, experience is an inward
thing. That’s why different people can have a different experience of the same event.
Everybody’s experience is the same only when people don’t have time to think.
Whoops, wait a minute... that  was an interesting idea. What was that —?
I said ... when people don’t have time to think, they become identical. They are driven to
react  rather than respond — as when people panic. Mass panic is virtually impossible to
produce when people remain calm, stop, and think.
While I was writing this book a US Airways plane leaving New York City had birds fly
into its engines, quickly and totally disabling it. That jetliner, piloted by a genuine hero,
Captain Chesley B. “Sulley” Sullenberger, was forced to ditch in the Hudson R iver. After a
picture -perfect emergency water landing, all 155 passengers on board left the plane and
stood on its wings, waiting to be picked up by nearby boats. All survived. It was called a
miracle. But the survivors said it like it is. It was simple, t hey reported. Nobody panicked.
Everybody kept a cool head. People were responding, rather than reacting.
In an article in Newsweek  magazine a few weeks after the incident, Captain Sullenberger
offered this personal observation: “We never gave up. Having a plan enabled us to keep our
hope alive. Perhaps in a similar fashion, people who are in their own personal crises —a
pink slip, a foreclosure —can be reminded that no matter how dire the circumstance, or
how little time you have to deal with it, further acti on is always possible. There’s always a
way out of even the tightest spot. You can survive.”
Thank you, Captain. You captured the essence of this whole book in a single paragraph.
Wow. So the answer here, in any unwelcome and difficult situation where thin gs are
changing rapidly, is to stop and think. That whole process does not take long, by the way.
Seconds, at most. Your mind is an amazing instrument. It can weigh all the options that are
before you in nanoseconds and come up with a response. Yet it does  take time. Response
takes time, reaction  is instantaneous.
Of course, it will do you little good to “stop and think” if your thoughts are based in
Imagined Truth. Then your responses will be not much more elevated than raw reactions. If
the passengers on that plane imagined that this was “it,” this was the end, they were going
to die, even if the plane landed safely on the water, they were soon going under, etc., etc.,
etc., panic would have ensued. Not enough can be said about the captain and the crew of
that airliner, who kept people calm, cool, and collected.
So the trick is to raise your consciousness from the lowest to the highest level of
awareness, no matter what is going on  around you. Remember, reactions  are instinctive,
responses  are thought out. That is, thoughts pushed outward.  Yet your thoughts have no shape or form or substance. They are as wisps of smoke. Not
even that. They are less than smoke. They are simply ideas  you hold. So, how to deal with
that...?
The funny thing about ideas is th at they don’t even have to be true to seem real. When it
comes to a thought, your mind does not know the difference between what is real and what
is imagined, between what is happening “now” and what was happening “then,” between
what is factually “true” a nd what is obviously “false.”
So it is that you can watch a scary movie and your mind accepts the data as real,
instructing your body to respond accordingly. Your heart starts racing, your breath
becomes short, you may even perspire. Likewise, you can see a sensual photograph and
experience bodily responses —even while knowing that the observed image is just a
picture. It’s what your mind does  with the data, not the data itself, that produces your
reaction. The event and your reality about it are not the sam e.
Your mind really is a mechanism. It is like a computer. Your laptop doesn’t “care” about
things, it merely responds to input —and to what has been put into it previously. There is a
famous acronym used by computer techs: GIGO. It means, “Garbage In, Garb age Out.”
Your mind operates in exactly the same way. It responds automatically to what you put
into it —and if what you put into it is faulty data (that is, not based in Observed Reality or
Ultimate Reality), your mind will come to faulty conclusions.
Now,  if you base your response  on such conclusions, you could be preparing yourself for
a journey to emotional hell. (Which is where you might be right now.) You could find
yourself embroiled in thoughts having nothing to do  with what is true. And it won’t eve n
matter to you —because you will not know  that your thoughts are not true.
Until you do.
That’s what this conversation is all about. What we are up to here is repeating,
repeating, repeating the same thing; inputting, inputting, inputting the same data. Yo ur
mind does  respond automatically to what you put into it —so what this book is about is
putting into your mind what you want it to respond to automatically.
I just said, if what you put into your mind is faulty data (that is, not based in Observed
Reality  or Ultimate Reality), your mind will come to faulty conclusions. The reverse is also
true. If what you put into your mind is accurate  data (that is, based in Observed Reality or
Ultimate Reality), your mind will come to accurate conclusions. This will eli minate all
manner of grief and anguish, turmoil and suffering, anger and fear from your life.
So keep up with me now. As my mother used to say, “There’s a method to my madness.”
This is all going to start coming together very quickly and you’re going to se e the elegance
of the design, the perfection of how this all fits into one pattern, as you deal with the
changes you are having to face now.
