Carbon dioxide iscomposed ofonepart carbon andtwoparts oxygen andisnot
easily detected, asitiscolorless, odorless andtasteless. Forevery 2,500 parts ofat-
mospheric air,there isonepart ofcarbon dioxide. When theairwebreathe contains
3%carbon dioxide, adrowsy feeling occurs, andwhen itispresent inlargerquantities,
death quickly results. Iftheorganism does notpromptly eliminate carbon dioxide, every
cellbecomes weakened andtheentire body suffers. Carbon dioxide gasispresent inall
chargeddrinks, inbeer andfermented liquids, inbaking powder cookery,inself-rising
flour products, in yeast bread and in all fermenting products.
Ateach exhalation thelungs discard enough gases, consisting ofcarbonic, lactic, hy-
drochloric, phosphoric andother acids, topoison abarrelful ofair.Inevery 24-hour pe-
riod, theamount ofcarbon dioxide eliminated bythelungs isequal toalump ofcharcoal
weighing eight ounces.
Withthisinmind, consider also thatevery person inaroom needs 3,000 cubic feet
offresh airanhour toinsure purity.Inthecase where several occupy aroom notad-
equately ventilated, weinhale theexhalations ofothers andourselves, andtheamount
ofcarbon dioxide contained intheairincreases, making itmore dangerous tobreathe.
This istheprincipal reason why patients inhospitals develop diseases ofthelungs such
asinfluenza andpneumonia. Theearly symptoms ofmild carbon dioxide poisoning are
sensations of uneasiness and oppression, drowsiness, sneezing, headache and coughing.
Under thelaws ofaccommodation, ourbodies areequipped with powers toenable
ittotolerate foratime anatmosphere sopoisonous thatitcould cause avital person to
pass outifitwere suddenly entered into. This principal wasillustrated byanexperiment
byClaude Bernard inwhich heused abird placed under abell-glass, providing itwith
enough oxygen northree hours, butthen removing itattheendofthesecond hour and
replacing thisbird with afresh, healthy one. Itwasshown thatthelatter died instantly,
asitdidriothave sufficient time toaccommodate itself tothevitiated environment of
the bell-glass.
Inaddition tocarbon dioxide, ourbodies also must deal with thepoisonous fumes
ofmodern industrial cities. City aircontains such chemicals ascarbon monoxide, sul-
phuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, hydrocyanic acid, benzene, methane, etc.The
Cincinnati Post ofApril 1946 stated thatinthemonth ofMarch theamount ofsoot andashthatfellonthatcitywasequal to2725 tons or227railway carloads. Itamounted to
enough to cover a 40 x 150 foot, 75 foot deep lot.
Another interesting fact: Aprofessor H.H.Sheldon ofNew YorkUniversity once
erected anapparatus intheTimes Square theatrical district thatdrew inairatroof level.
Inoneweek, theapparatus cleaned 341,250,000 cubic feetofair,removing from it12
cubic feet of solid matter composed of dust, soot and tar and weighing 37 pounds.
Alltheprotection onehasagainst polluted airistoexhale itthrough deeper breaths,
butthisshould bedone actively through movement. Ernest T.Seaton, inhisstory ofthe
coyote, tells ofthisanimal’ sprotective instincts after ingesting some poisonous bait. It
instinctively knows there isbutoneway itcanovercome thepoison, andthatisbyvig-
orous exhalation. Ifitcanrunlong enough andfastenough before thepoison does its
deadly work, the lungs will eliminate the poison and the animal will survive.
H.B.Meller oftheMellon Institute ofIndustrial Research said: “When itisknown
thatonetakes about 30cubic inches ofairintoone’slungs ineach inhalation, orabout
seven times theweight offood andwater consumed, itcanbeunderstood why more
people areweakened, devitalized andpoisoned bythepollution intheairthey suck in-
totheir lungs than byalltheingredients inthefood they eatandthewater they drink.”
When theairwebreathe isfresh andpure, itbrings lifeintothebody,butwhen itisfilled
with poisonous gases from industrial waste, etc., itleads ustoill-health andpremature
death.
Thepress ofAugust 19,1939, stated thatthese poisonous gases andacids intheair
ofthecityofParis were “eating away anddisintegrating thehistoric monuments ofthat
city.Therapid decay of\these stone monuments dates from about 1900. Since thattime,
thesmoke andfumes from factories, river tugs, motor carsandtrucks andheating plants
have steadily increased. The smoke, mixed with theexhaust ofmotor cars, trucks and
buses, produces acompound ofsulphuric acid gasthatchemically attacks everything
that it strikes.”
Until about seventy fiveyears ago, fresh airwasconsidered byphysicians asbeing
dangerous tothesick, especially during thenight, andallwindows were kept closed and
allairholes were plugged uptoprevent anyairfrom entering. Thanks tothework ofthe
early pioneers ofhygiene such asGraham, Trall, Densmore, Page, Oswald andothers,
most people of today are aware of the importance of adequate ventilation at all times.
Although theGreeks andRomans were able tomanufacture glass, they didnotuse
ittoobstruct their windows. Instead, they allowed thefreepassage oflight andfresh air
toenter their dwelling houses. Itwasnotuntil later periods, called theMiddle Ages, that
thefear ofnight airandofother natural instincts including afear ofeating uncooked
foods became predominant, andhabitual indoor lifebetween closed walls became cus-
tomary.This grew outofthephilosophies andreligions ofthedaythatpreached anti-
natural doctrines.
Oxygen isessential tothehighest physical andmental development ofhumans. This
may beprovided through free ventilation andexercise intheopen air.Although there
seems tobemore need forfresh airduring thedaytime while weareactive than during
thenight when weareinactive, thisishardly anargument forsleeping inunventilated
rooms. Insleep, nature seeks complete restandreduced oxygenation. This isprovided
for by decreased breathing, and should not be accomplished by the breathing of foul air.
Regular andcontinuous breathing isessential tomeet theneeds oflife,anditisfor
thisreason thatweshould live, dress andcarry ourselves inways thatdonotinterfere
with theprocess ofbreathing. Five minutes ofdeep breathing twice adaywillnotcom-
pensate forinadequate breathing therestoftheday.Itiswhat wehabitually doallday
thatcounts inthelong run, rather than anyfive-minute breathing sessions. Proper and
sufficient breathing depends upon anumber offactors, including health ofnose, throat,
chest, lungs andabdomen; proper body posture; freedom ofmovement ofthechest and
abdomen (lack ofrestrictive clothing); well-ventilated homes, bedrooms, etc.andample
exercise in the out-of-doors.Inthislight, mention should bemade thatexercises todevelop thechest andtoin-
crease itscapacity foroxygen arewell advised. Modern lifegenerally does notadequate-
lydevelop themusculature andframework ofthechest, anditisforthisreason thatthe
modern man orwoman’ sbreathing reserve issmall compared tothatofwild animals and
those people ofmore primitive societies. Regarding ourbreathing apparatus, thenormal
nose permits adequate amounts ofairtoenter thelungs through butonenostril under
ordinary conditions. When under great stress, aswhen running, theadditional nostril
should provide fortheingress ofsufficient air,providing both nostrils arenormal. Gen-
erally,mouth breathing isasymptom ofdisease, asinadenoids, polyps, nasal catarrh, a
cold, etc.Every dayweshould take advantage ofthecleanest airavailable intheparticu-
larvicinity inwhich welive. Itisimportant thatwedosome exercises thatwillpromote
greater oxygen intake. This willalsoenable ustothrow outadditional poisons from our
lungs and help to keep our breathing functions in a healthier condition.
13.4. Questions & Answers
Are specific deep breathing exercises recommended for greater intake of oxygen?
Ifyouarereferring toapassive form ofdeep breathing notassociated with total
bodily movement, then theanswer isno,they arenotrecommended. Wemust un-
derstand thattherateofbreath isautomatically controlled through therespiratory
center inthemedulla ofthebrain. Themore carbon dioxide thatiscontained inthe
blood, themore thiscenter isstimulated, with acorresponding increase intherate
ofbreathing. Conversely,oxygen inhibits

ordull, with brown rustspots andserious blemishes, don’tbuythem. Young snap beans
are delicious raw.
Fresh Podded Beans
Lima orcranberry beans inthepodaresometimes available. Sometimes other pod-
dedbeans areavailable, such asfava beans. Baby limas canbeeaten raw.Mature limas,
cranberry beans andfava beans have arather tough skin, andareusually cooked. Cran-
berry beans arevery easy tohullforcooking. Fresh podded beans require nosoaking,
and cook in half an hour or less. Select fresh-looking unblemished dry pods.
Beets
Peak season isJune through August, butthey areavailable allyear.Small beets are
young, sweet andtender andcanbeeaten raw.Theroots should befirm with asmooth
surface anddark redcolor.Wilted leaves indicate lessfreshness, butthebulbs, iffirm,
are still satisfactory.
Thetops (leaves) arehigh inoxalic acid (like spinach) anditisnotadvisable touse
them often. Afewyoung tender leaves may beused inthesalad. Remove theleaves as
soon, asyougetthebeets home. Allowing theleaves towiltwhile stillattached tothe
roots robs the roots of some nutritional value.
Broccoli
Peak season isOctober through May.Thequality ofbroccoli available atother sea-
sons isnotasgood. (Select firm stalks with dark green orpurplish green compact clus-
tersofbuds, tightly closed andnotonthevergeofflowering. None ofthebuds should
beopened enough toshow theyellow flower.Stems should notbetoothick ortough.Avoid buds thatarespread, yellow orwilted. Theleaves andtender buds may beeaten
raw.
Brussels sprouts
Peak season isSeptember through February.These look likeminiature cabbages, but
therawflavor isnotasgood asthatofsweet rawcabbage orbroccoli. They canbeeaten
rawbychopping andmixing intothesalad. Select tight, firm, unblemished heads with
abright green color,andnofaded yellow softorwilted leaves. Ifcrisp andgreen, the
outer leaves may be a little loose.
Cabbage
Available allyear.Supply peaks inJanuary andruns lowinAugust andSeptember.
Select heads thatarecompact andheavy,with outer leaves thataredeeply colored (green
orred)andfreefrom blemishes. Theouter leaves may beloose andareusually discard-
ed,since they arevery tough. Iftheouter leaves aremissing, thecabbage isnotfresh,
andwillprobably notbesweet enough tobeeaten raw.When green cabbage turns white,
itisold.Dark spots alsoindicate age. Cabbage should belight green (orredforthatva-
riety). The three varieties ofcabbage arethecommon green variety,redcabbage, and
green savoy cabbage, which hascrinkly leaves. Redcabbage andsavoy cabbage areusu-
allymore expensive, butweprefer anice, sweet, fresh head ofgreen cabbage. Although
darker colored vegetables usually contain more nutrients, Dr.Vetrano says thatgreen
cabbage isofgreater nutritional value than redcabbage. Avoid cabbages thathave had
thebuttendexcessively trimmed, because thiscauses dehydration. Donoteatbitter cab-
bage—it contains irritants.
Carrots
Available allyear.Organically-grown carrots areoften available through health food
stores, butthey areusually very large,overly mature carrots suitable forjuicing, which
iswhy thehealth food stores carry them. Young, tender carrots fresh from your garden
arethebest foreating raw.Carrots with thegreen tops stillonaresometimes available
incertain produce sections and, ofcourse, they arefresh. Otherwise, select firm, smooth
carrots with agood, rich, orange color.Avoid flabby orshriveled carrots, orthose with
largegreen areas. Good carrot taste comes from thebright orange area where sugar is
stored. The nutritional value of the carrot makes it an important vegetable.
Cauliflower
Peak season isSeptember through November,lowMay through August. Cauliflower
isavailable allyear,butitsprice andquality arebetter inseason. Select compact tosolid
heads with white tocreamy white clusters (and fresh green leaves, ifthey have notbeen
removed). Cauliflower accumulates black smudges asitages. Ifnottoomany,they can
bescrubbed orcutoff.Cauliflower eaten rawshould bethefreshest possible. Ifitis
spotted, or the green leaves are getting dark and withered, it’ s old.
Celery
Available allyear.Select crisp, thick, unblemished stalks with asmany green leaves
aspossible. Ifthestalks arecracked orloose, don’tbuythem. Avoid limp, rusty celery.
Celery isoneofthebest ofthesalad vegetables, being succulent andjuicy.Trytofind
celery thatismedium green incolor.Ifitisdark green, thetaste isvery strong, andifit
is white (blanched), it is of low nutritional value.Celery Cabbage (Chinese Cabbage)
Available allyear.This isanexcellent salad vegetable, ifnottoomature andtough.
Select crisp, light green heads, with no wilted, yellow leaves.
Chayote
Occasionally available. This isamember ofthesquash family.Itislight green, has
white, juicy flesh, andisdelicious eaten raw,likeacucumber.Itisnative totropical
America, butcanbegrown ingardens onthesoutheast coast, from South Carolina south-
ward, and in southern California.
Chinese Vegetables
Various Chinese vegetables areavailable insome supermarkets. Celery cabbage
(listed separately) isalso known asChinese cabbage.The water chestnut (also listed
separately) isanother Chinese vegetable. Bok choy andsuey choy arequite frequently
available. Bok choy looks alittle likecelery cabbage, buthasvery dark green, wide
leaves atthetop.Suey choy looks likeashorter,plumper version ofcelery cabbage. Nei-
therofthese isasgood inthesalad assome other vegetables, butthey arepopular for

shoots ofthebamboo plant aremuch likeasparagus, butareseldom found fresh inthis
country except inareas with Chinese andJapanese populations. Other unfamiliar butex-
cellent Oriental vegetables, such asArrowhead,water bamboo,andunusual squashes,
may befound near these communities. Chinese vegetables areinteresting andnutrition-
ally valuable additions to the menu.
Chives
Amild member oftheonion family,perennial andhardy.Sometimes available in
markets growing inpots. Hygienists donotrecommend onions, which areirritants when
eaten raw.Chives may bemild enough foroccasional usebypeople with unimpaired
digestions. Easy togrow inthegarden. May bedugup,intheautumn, insmall clumps,
potted and kept growing in the house.
Corn
Peak season isMay through September.Best months vary according tolocal season
inyour area. Don’ tbuycorn outofseason. Corn begins toloseitsdelicate, sweet flavor
immediately after harvesting, andunless itisreally fresh andinitsprime, itwillhave
tasteless, starchy kernels, instead ofkernels filled with sugar -sweet milk. Infact, corn
isconsidered agreen vegetable when freshly picked, andconverts itsnatural sugar to
starch inonly two hours, sothat itthen must beclassified asstarchy.When freshly
picked, itisdelicious raw.People who buytheir corn insupermarkets rarely know the
fineflavor offresh corn, but,occasionally,Ihave been lucky enough tobeonhand fora
fresh shipment ofsweet, tender corn which wecould enjoy without cooking. Select corn
with richgreen tightly folded husks, andbrown drysilk. Thestem should notbedryor
discolored. Pull down theleaves abittocheck thekernels, which should beplumb and
milky,uniform insizeandcolor,with nobare spots. Ifthekernels arelarge,thecorn is
usually tough. Small, delicate kernels arethetenderest. Ifthemilk spurts from apierced
kernel, thecorn isfresh andsweet. Don’ tbuyearsofcorn which have been husked; this
causes theflavor andnutritional value todissipate rapidly.Color varies from white to
yellowish to yellow, and is not a reliable indication of quality.Cucumbers
Available allyear with aslight peak inMay andJune. Ifyoubuycucumbers insea-
soninyour area, youwillbemore likely tofindthem unwaxed. TheEuropean orEnglish
cucumber islong andslender,hasfewseeds, andsometimes reaches alength ofmore
than three feet. Itisalmost seedless because itisasexual, grown wholly ingreenhouses.
Thecommon garden variety comes inmany sizes andshapes. Small, young cucumbers
arebestforflavor andquality.Some supermarkets feature packages offresh “pickling”

.6. Molasses Is Not A Food
AsHygienists weknow thatthere areseveral criteria thatasubstance must meet before
wewillregard itasafood. Molasses does notmeet anyofthese criteria andweshall see
why.
First ofall,itmight behelpful toreview thecriteria food must meet tobeconsidered
natural and therefore acceptable in our daily diet. Our natural food:
1.Must be nontoxic.
2.Must have aesthetic or sensory appeal.
3.Must be relished in its natural raw state as taken in nature.
4.Must be digested easily.
35.7. Questions & Answers
Irealize that molasses isalmost 50% sugar, butwouldn’t itbebetter toconsume
this product than pure sugar? After all, 50% is better than 100%!
Thefactthatmolasses contains upto50% sugar isnotitsonly badpoint. The
factthatitcontains somany other poisonous contaminants, some ofwhich may be
carcinogens, isthemain reason tostayaway from thisproduct. Also, ifyouareeat-
ingadietofmostly fruits with vegetables, nuts andseeds, additional sweeteners are
not necessary or desirable.
Iamconvinced that theHygienic dietisbest foroverall health and Ihave been
onaraw foods program forsixmonths and feelgreat! Buttheproblem isthat my
children love junk foods—especially candy, icecream, cookies and other sweets.
How can I get them away from these awful foods?Congratulations onyour wise decision tochange toamore healthful diet. Ap-
parently your children crave sweets andthisisnatural—we alldo.Theproblem is
they aresatisfying their sweet tooth with thewrong kind ofsweets. First ofall,try
tonothave anyofthejunk food thatyoumentioned inyour home. Second, replace
itwith more healthful sweets likefresh fruits andsome dried fruits. When oneof
your children asks forcandy,give himsome Barhi dates instead, oranyother kind
ofdried dates orfigs. Iamsure thatyour children willlove them anditwillcertain-
ly satisfy their sweet tooth.
Mymother always gave usmolasses toeat.She mixed itwith some milk and
said that iswasagood “tonic”. Ialways hated thestuff! Does molasses possess any
health benefits?
No,itisacommon misconception thatmolasses possesses health benefits. No
food, even themost healthful, hasthequality toact,foritisthebody which acts
upon thefood. There arenobenefits ineating molasses and, infact, only harmful
results follow itsingestion. Thefactthatyour sense oftaste found this“tonic” re-
pulsive is one clear indication that it should not be eaten.
Article #1: Denatured Foods Destroy Life by Alfred W. McCann
Animals, human ordumb brutes, diewhen their food isdebased, butthevery number
ofsuch foods makes itimpossible foranindividual togobefore agrand jury with the
charge: “This food killed my little girl.”
Formonths, perhaps foryears, onejuggled food brought substances toherdietwhich
herlittle body could notuse.Hervitality inthrowing offtheexcess baggage wasslowly
sapped.
Shewas notpoisoned byanyparticular food. Acombination ofinadequate foods
merely robbed her tissues of their tone.
Another food from another source hadbeen processed inamanner that removed
some orallofitsmost indispensable elements. Initsrefinement itwithheld from her
little frame thevery materials sherequired forgrowth, materials thatGod hadelabo-
rated forher,butwhich unnatural practices hadwithdrawn from herreach onthevain
assumption thatitisnotnecessary tocredit theCreator with aprofoundly conceived and
marvelously executed scheme of biochemic balances and harmonies.
Persistently,month after month, thedisordered combination ofartificial foods sallied
tothedinner table, where alltheforces ofoutraged nature were called intobattle with
the unseen enemy of health and life.
Commercial expediency looked onasthefight waswaged with nature butnature had
been equipped with poor fighting materials andthechild’ sresistance, broken atlastby
the combined attack of unsuspected enemies, buckled, snapped and was gone.
There isnopathologist, nopublic prosecutor,nofather ormother who canaccuse
the food industry of her death. Let this be fully understood.
Before wecancorrect asingle refined food abuse, bylaw,wemust produce incourt
the body of a dead child, and prove that life was destroyed by a particular food.
Scientists willbeonhand totestify inbehalf ofthedefendant. Food manufacturers
have been paying scientists for twenty-five years to testify in their defense.
Ihave listened onhundreds ofoccasions totheir testimony inadulterated food cases,
andinmany instances Ihave seen their sophistries fail, butthefacts have rarely been
reported to the public.
The fear ofadvertising losses, aswehave seen, hasclosed thecolumns ofmost
newspapers and magazines to the truth.Foods thatkillmice, rabbits andguinea pigs arenot“harmful” tothechild inthe
law’seyes, forthereason thatnobody iswilling tofeed achild onanexclusive dietof
such things until it dies, in order thereby to produce as evidence, a dead body in court.
However,when itisargued thatchickens orother experimental animals arenothu-
man beings, andthattherefore anydeductions based onbarnyard phenomena areunwar-
ranted when applied tohumanity,wearenotconfined entirely toanimal experimentation
for our facts.
The same facts have been established inmost startling anddramatic fashion, hun-
dreds of times, upon human beings.
InBillibid Prison, Phillipine Islands, 1912, twenty-nine criminals under sentence of
death were fedexclusively onrefined anddenatured foods ofthekind most common in
America for the purpose of determining the ef fect of such diet.
Their chief food consisted ofpolished rice. Insixweeks thecondemned men became
anemic. Their first symptom was slight edema (water -logging orswelling) ofthefeet
andankles which disappeared after lying down. Puffiness beneath theeyes, with general
weakness and pains in the legs, soon followed.
Later theedema became massive, involving even thethighs. Then came marked ap-
athy with muscular wasting andextreme pallor.Finally,anenlar gement oftheheart with
feeble heart action.
Itisnoteworthy thatthesymptoms ofwar-edema reported among German, French
and British soldiers, 1916-1918, are identical with these.
Commenting ontheBillibid experiments, Drs. R.P.Strong andR.C. Crowell stated:
“These diseases developed owing totheabsence ofsome substance orsubstances inthe
dietnecessary forthenormal physiological process ofthebody.Without asupply ofsuch
substances inthefood sickness results.” This comment inallitsvagueness disclosed the
poverty of food knowledge possessed by the medical profession six years ago.
Theprisoners fedonthedenatured dietmingled freely with theother prisoners but
there wasnotendency ofthedisease tospread outside thegroup fedonthepolished rice.
When thisdenatured food wasremoved from their dietandwhole natural brown rice
restored to them, they recovered promptly.
Inthenear future, depending upon therapidity with which thetruth isspread, itwill
notbesodifficult toprove with evidence thatcannot becontroverted thatamurder was
committed by depraved food.

49.14. Questions & Answers
Is it safe to mulch with grass clippings that have been treated with herbicides?Itwould bebest tofind outfrom your neighbors whether they areusing her-
bicides before using their grass clippings. Ifyouseedandelions inthegrass, that
isagood sign. However,themost commonly-used herbicide, “2,4D,” isnotab-
sorbed bygrasses inamounts great enough toaffectvegetables. Don’ tusesuspect
clippings inthegreen state. Either compost them orputthem aside foracouple
ofweeks. Soil microbes usually break down thechemical weed killer inaweek or
two. Ifyouknow when thespraying hasoccurred, andseveral rains andacouple of
mowings have occurred since thespraying, theresidue should begone. Ofcourse,
grass clippings that have had no spray are the best.
Since sprouting insoilproduces sprouts ofhigher nutritional value than sprout-
ing with water only, what is the best kind of soil to use?
Seeds canbesprouted insoil, indoors orout.Thesprouts willindeed beofhigh-
ernutritional value than thesprouts thatareproduced with theuseofwater only,
especially ifthesoilisproperly prepared. Thesoilshould consist ofonepartfine
compost, one part fine topsoil, and one part sand.
Is it best to wash the salt off of seaweed?
Organic Gardening magazine, March 1980, page 20,says that itreally isn’t
necessary towash thesaltoffofseaweed, astheamount ofsaltthatmight cling to
theseaweed isminimal. Digthefresh seaweed intothesoiltoavoid leaching out
ofnutrients thatwilloccur ifyouallow ittoheap upanddecay.Organic Gardening
says thatseaweed isnutritionally similar tobarnyard manure, except thatitcontains
twice asmuch potassium. Itisalsohigh inironandzinc, andcontains some iodine.
What is “Diatomaceous Earth?”
Itiscomposed ofthefossilized shells ofmicroscopic one-celled algae. Itisa
natural product, andkills insects mechanically.The shells break down into tiny,
razor -sharp needles ofsilica, andthesilica particles attack thewax coating that
covers theinsect. Theinsect gradually loses fluid anddies inabout twelve hours.
Diatamaceous earth isfine, drydust, andisbest applied when plants arewet, orit
may bedissolved inwater.Inafive-gallon sprayer,place ateaspoon ofliquid soap
compound inaquart ofwarm water.Add one-fourth pound ofdiatomaceous earth,
andtopoffwith water.Keep solution agitated asyouuseit.Diatomaceous earth
works against insects only when they areintheir pupal, maggot, orgrub stage. This
substance canirritate your lungs, sowear aprotective mask when using it.Don’ t
useformulations which aremixed with pyrethrum andchemicals. Ifyoucan’tfind
it locally, it can be ordered from Golden Harvest Or ganics.
What causes carrots to be bitter?
Aninsuf ficient oruneven supply ofmoisture orofnutrients willproduce bitter
carrots. Insects ordisease canalso cause bitterness. Ifyoufollow theinstructions
inthislesson, astocomposting, mulching andwatering, your carrots should be
healthy and sweet.
Is it advisable to grow vegetables or trees over or near a septic tank?
Root vegetables andleafy crops canbecome contaminated ifgrown near asep-
tictank. The roots oftrees candamage thedrainage pipes. Shallow-rooted plants
would belessofaproblem, butthere would stillbesome riskofinfection from anyfood plants planted over ornear aseptic tank. Itwould bebesttoplant somewhere
else.
Issoil-testing afoolproof method todetermine theactual needs ofthesoil, oris
onebetter offjust feeding thesoilwith organic matter and thus building itsfertili-
ty?
Igrew many successful vegetable gardens without anysoiltesting. Anarticle in
theAugust 1982, Organic Gardening magazine (“Organic Discoveries,” JeffCox,
pp.104-105) offersdocumentation ofthefactthatfrequently these tests arerela-
tively meaningless. Dr.William Liebhardt, Assistant Research Director attheRo-
dale Research Center,says thatareliable nitrogen soiltestisjustnotavailable. Dr.
Liebhardt sent thesame soilto69major laboratories, andreceived analyses and
fertilization recommendations that varied wildly.Measurements oforganic mat-
tervaried almost asmuch asthenitrogen recommendations. The 69laboratories’
measurements ofphosphorus, potassium andsoilpHalso fluctuated widely.Cox’ s
opinion isthesame asmine. Feed thesoil, andletthesoilfeed theplants. Hespoke
with Dr.Roger Pennock, soilscientist atPenn State University,about thecarbon-
to-nitrogen ratio. Dr.Pennock said, “The endproduct oforganic matter decay—soil
humus— tends toward aperfect carbon-nitrogen ratio oftentoone. Atthislevel,
anduptoabout fifteen toone, nitrogen willbereleased totheplants asthey need
it.” Finished compost has the 10 to one ratio, and is the perfect balanced fertilizer.

63.4. How To Care For The Hair
Thefirstandprimary requirement forimproving thecondition ofthehairandscalp isto
cleanse thebody fluids, theblood andlymph, oftheir toxic load, preferably byfasting
or,more slowly,bytheMcCarter Extended Detoxification Method asdetailed later in
this lesson or by some similar method.
Next, itisessential tobegin anew life,toadopt anew way ofeating andliving: begin
toeatandenjoy afruitarian dietandalifestyle which provides forallbody needs includ-
ingsunshine, pure water,andsoon.Especially important isthecultivation ofemotional
poise. Remember thatconstant worry,fear,anger,jealousy canturn themost beautiful
hair into a drab-looking gray. It can also make it fall out.Exercise thescalp daily bymanipulating itlightly with thetipsofthefingers orthe
palms ofthehand, always inarotary movement. Press thepalms ofthehands against
thesides ofthehead andmove thescalp gently soastopush ittogether infolds. Always
work gently soasnottoirritate thescalp orinjure thehair follicles orplace stress on
delicate nerve endings.
DOwash your hairfrequently.However,asarulewedonotrecommend using soap
orshampoos unless, foronereason oranother,thehairhasbecome extraordinarily dirty.
Hereward Carrington, inhismarvelous book Vitality,Fasting andNutrition,writes as
follows, “Ithasbeen repeatedly shown, moreover,thatfrequent washing andextreme
cleanliness areasessential tothescalp astoanyother part ofthebody—the effect of
water upon thehairbeing beneficial andstrengthening, however frequently applied, pro-
vided the hair is thoroughly dried.”
Dr.Elizabeth rinses herhairunder theshower almost every other dayandoften every
day.Mary Martin, who sang, “I’m Gonna WashThat Man Right OutofMyHair” on
Broadway inRogers andHammerstein’ sSouth Pacific issaid tohave washed herhair
onstage in1,694 consecutive performances andreportedly observed noadverse effects.
Today she displays a beautiful head of hair.
Make frequent rinsing ofthehair apart ofyour personal daintiness program. Itis
thesimple Hygienic physical habits thataddup,intime, tomajor health benefits. Adopt
adaily routine ofcleanliness andbegin toreap itsrewards. AsMargery Wilson once
wrote, “Everyone knows thatyouth andstrength depend onwater,vegetables, fruit, ex-
ercise, andahigh heart andmind.” Thebestbeauty treatment forthehairthatmakes real
scientific sense isacombination ofalifestyle andeating regimen best suited tohuman
wellness; inother words, fullapplication ofwhat ispresented inthiscourse ofstudy.
Thediscipline ofNatural Hygiene istheonly discipline thatrecognizes thefactthatnu-
trition represents thesum total ofALL body processes andcannot accept anyattempt to
separate orisolate anypartofthelifeprocess asanything other than foolishness. And, it
must beemphasized thatproper care ofthehairandscalp, justaswith theentire body,
should begin with thefirst meal andtheliferoutines ofthefirst dayafter birth. Ifthese
beoptimal andcontinue tobedayafter dayandthroughout life,then lifeitself canbeno
less.
63.5. Establishing The Client-Practitioner Relationship
63.5.1 The Hygienist’ s and Life’ s Four -Fold Program for Superior Health!
63.5.2 The Consultation
63.5.3 Kinds of Clients
63.5.3.1 Group One
63.5.3.2 Group T wo
Even though thedisorder ofimmediate concern totheclient may belimited tothe
skin, scalp, orhair,theknowledgeable practitioner well understands thatanydiseased
state affecting these areas indicates aneliminative effortofsome dimension. Healsoun-
derstands thattheentire system isburdened with adegree oftoxicosis which is,atpre-
sent, unknown andthatitisthistoxic condition which must firstbeaddressed before the
disorder which hasbrought theclient toyour officeandwhich islocalized outwardly,
can be controlled.
Atfirst meeting, theclient willprobably have nounderstanding ofNatural Hygiene
orautointoxication. Hemust beledtoanunderstanding oflife’sbasic requirements, the
requisites oforganic existence, because, upon these, fullhealth, including thatofthehair
andscalp, depends. Hemust gradually learn thatyouhave aplan forhealth thatworks
regardless ofage, sex,orincome! Aplan thathecancarry outinhisown home without
theaidofpills, lotions, ordoctors. Aplan thatwill notonly save him money butwill
provide superb health foralloflife. Aplan thathasworked forhundreds ofthousandsofpersons, many justlikehimself, suffering from even themost horrible lesions. And,
finally,thatitisaplan thatmay require more time than henow anticipates because how
well itworks forhimwilldepend onhow faithfully hefollows your guidance anddirec-
tions.
Itwill, ofcourse, beimpossible toimpart toevery client alltheknowledge theHy-
gienic practitioner hasgarnered ashehasstudied thiscourse andthemany lessons yetto
follow,about body detoxification andhow thismay beachieved. However,wefindthat
a good initial briefing of methodology usually is well received.
Werecommend that, onfirst meeting, theclient begiven anunderstanding ofthe
factthatasyouwork with himyouwill, ingeneral, proceed with four specific goals in
mind, all bearing directly on his present condition.
63.5.1 The Hygienist’s and Life’s Four-Fold Program for Superior Health!
1.Todiscontinue allthings, habits, foods, etc., which areacknowledged bythescientific
community tobeharmful tothehuman lifeprocess; toreduce orcompletely remove all
undue stressors.
2.Toimprove thelifestyle sothatitincludes only those practices which areacknowledged
bythescientific community tobehealth-promoting, such requisites oforganic existence
as:
◦Exercise
◦Pure Air
◦Pure W ater
◦Suitable exposure to sunlight
◦Sufficient rest, sleep, and relaxation
◦Protection from violence
◦Emotional Poise
◦The “Pluses of Life,” such as friendships, love, etc.
3.Tomodify thedietslowly orrapidly astheindividual client canadapt sothatiteven-
tually includes only those foods thatareknown tobebiologically acceptable tohumans
andtoinstruct bymeans ofeducational materials written inlayterms sothattheclient
willlearn how tocombine hisfoods correctly soastomaximize nutrient acceptance and
utilization.
4.Todetoxify thebody; thatis,toeliminate from thebody anyexisting abnormal amounts
oftoxic metabolites (wastes) sothatthefluids ofthebody,including theblood, will
again flow free andclean, able tocollect, transport, andremove allexcess acid waste
debris because ititself isnolonger sosaturated with “sludge” thatitlacks theability
totransport waste matter totheeliminating depots; orbecause theliver andkidneys are
presently sooverloaded thatthey cannot adequately perform their normal filtering and
other life-preserving duties.
Dr.Lester Breslow,dean oftheSchool ofPublic Health attheUniversity ofCalifor-
niaatLosAngeles, stated in1975, asfollows: “Ifirmly believe theAmerican people are
depending fartoomuch ontheir doctors tostay healthy.”Hewent ontocomment that
“allofusmust take more responsibility forourown health—the choices wemake inour
daily life with regard to certain personal habits.”
Itisthisconcept thattheHygienic practitioner must convey tohisnew clients; that
theclient isnow embarking onawonderful adventure thatwillnotonly correct hispre-
sentannoying symptoms butonethatwillalsoopen countless numbers ofdoors andjoys
tohimandprovide afuture inwhich hecanenjoy ahitherto undreamed ofnew dimen-
sion of health.
Wehave found thathaving thefour-fold program printed andthen given totheclient
helps himtostay oncourse. Wesuggest toourclients thatthey paste thelistonabath-
room mirror orperhaps, even better,ontherefrigerator door orsome other place wherethey cannot help butbereminded daybydaythat


 anal-
ready toxic condition.
74.9. Your Choice
74.9.1 The Fast
Persons with heart disease believe thatthey donothave anychoice buttotake drugs
topalliate their symptoms. Butthey dohave achoice. Drugs willnotheal andthey do
notproduce health. However,given theproper conditions, thebody willheal. Themost
important requirement forallheart patients isrest. That is,torestinbedandabstain from
allfood until healing oftheheart hastaken place. During thisphysiological rest, toxins
willbeeliminated from thebody; cholesterol accumulations along thearteries willbreak
upandwillbeeliminated; andtheheart willbegin torepair itself. During thefast, vital
energy isnotbeing expended fordigestion andtherefore, more energy isavailable for
repair.
74.9.1 The Fast
Dr.Hereward Carrington, author ofVitality,Fasting andNutrition,recognized the
factthatfasting resulted instrengthening oftheheart. Heattributed thisimprovement to
the following three factors:
1.The added rest the fast provides the heart.
2.The resulting improvement of the bloodstream.
3.Theabsence ofthe“stimulants” thatpatients ingeneral andheart patients inparticular
are accustomed to take.
Dr.Shelton Says, “Ifweconsider angina pectoris, adisease oftheheart thatgrows
outofconstant stimulation with tobacco, coffee,tea,wrong food combinations andex-
cesses ofcarbohydrates, andobserve theeffects ofthefastinthese patients, weare
amazed at the speed with which the heart recovers from its dif ficulties.”
Itisnotclaimed thatfasting actually “cures” anything. Weknow thatfasting takes a
load offtheheart sothatitmay restore itsown normal condition inamore certain and
speedy manner.Fasting results inthequieting down ofarapid heart. This takes aheavy
load of f the heart and results in a speedy reduction of blood pressure.
Withareduction oftension andthenumber ofrepetitions oftheheart’ spulsation, a
rest is secured. W ith less work to do, the heart repairs itself.
Inthehundreds ofcases ofheart disease thatDr.Shelton haswitnessed through fasts
ofvarious lengths, allbutafewhave developed stronger andbetter hearts. Many ofthem, even so-called “incurable” ones, have become entirely normal. Rapid hearts have
slowed down, abnormally slow hearts have speeded up,weak hearts have greatly im-
proved invigor,hearts thatwere irregular have become regular intime andfrequency,
hearts thatwere missing pulsations (even asoften asonepulsation outoffour) have re-
sumed regular pulsation, andmany other improvements inheart function have been ob-
served.
Therestprovided fortheheart isaccounted forinseveral ways. There isamarked
lessening ofthenumber ofpulsations oftheheart; there isafallofblood pressure; and
there isareduction inweight. Weight reduction ismost marked infatindividuals whose
size issuch thattheheart hastolabor tokeep theblood circulating through somuch
bulk. Thelossofpounds relieves thelong-suf fering heart ofaburden. Every pound that
is lost relieves the heart of work it has been forced to do.
Edema isoften observed intheweakened heart oftheheart patient. This edema isa
major consequence from taking common table salt(sodium chloride). This saltisnonus-
able andpoisonous. Itisexcreted with difficulty,andtends toaccumulate inthebody
ofthesalteater.Itisstored inthesurface tissues justunder theskin andincavities,
along with water thatisneeded todilute it.This salt-occasioned edema, often sufficient-
lymarked tobeeasily detected, places anadded burden upon theheart andkidneys. The
body ofthefasting patient isable tobring thesaltandwater back intothecirculation,
from where it is excreted.
Theprinciple oflightening thework ofthecirculatory system andparticularly that
oftheheart bydecreasing thefood intake andbyeliminating saltfrom thedietiscarried
to its ultimate stage when the heart patient fasts.
Thefastseems toresult inaninstantaneous improvement inthefunction ofthekid-
neys, sothatthere isanimmediate increase ofelimination. Withtheincreased excretion
through thekidneys ofwater andsodium chloride sothattheedema isreduced oroblit-
erated, theheart isgreatly relieved. Ithasalsobeen suggested thatfasting may favorably
affect certain vasomotor centers, (thenerve centers thatcontrol circulation), thus caus-
ing improvement in the condition of the heart and arteries.
Itshould beunderstood, however,thatnosufferer from heart disease should ever at-
tempt tofastonhisown butshould consult with apractitioner who hasexperience with
the fast.
After thefast, itisimperative thatamore healthful dietisstrictly adhered to.That
isadietlowinfatsandproteins andhigh innatural carbohydrates. Adietofrawfruits,
vegetables, andraw,unsalted nuts andseeds willprovide theperfect nutritional require-
ments.
Inaddition tothis, aregular vigorous exercise program should begradually assumed.
Accompany thiswith plenty offresh air,sunshine, andemotional poise, andimproved
health will follow.
74.10. Questions & Answers
What is rheumatic fever and why does it affect the heart?
The disease that physicians have labeled “rheumatic fever” isconsidered by
them asthemost common heart disease ofchildhood andyouth. Most commonly,
itbegins byaminor sore throat andcold. This isanindication thatthebody isini-
tiating a“housecleaning” andridding itself ofsome ofitstoxic debris. Itisasign
ofvitality andshould notbesuppressed butinstead youshould cooperate with the
body inthiseffortandhealth willberestored quickly.Most often, itisnotunder-
stood thatthis“disease” isahealing process anddrugs aregiven. Drugs suppress
healing andaddmore toxins thatareenervating. Now thejoints become inflamed
andheat andpain arefeltintheknees, wrists orelbows. More drugs aregiven inthe
form ofantibiotics orhormone drugs andthehealing process isagain suppressed,thebody becomes even more enervated andtoxic andtheheart becomes inflamed.
Instead ofsecuring restandallowing thebody toeliminate itstoxic overload and
recover from itsenervation, additional drugs aregiven. Theendresult from thisse-
riesofabuses isextreme enervation andtoxicosis andeventual damage totheheart
itself. Physicians often blame this“disease” onastrep infection butitisnotgerms
thatproduced theheart damage. Ifthebody hadbeen allowed torestandfastwhen
the minor sore throat first appeared, health would have been restored immediately.
Is vitamin E a good preventative for heart disease?
Disease isnotanormal occurrence andtherefore does notneed tobeprevented..
Ifwelivehealthfully,wedonothave toworry about heart impairment. Thebody
does need vitamin Ebutcannot utilize itinasynthetic orinorganic form. Further,
wedonotrequire very much ofthisvitamin since agreat deal isstored inourtis-
sues andcanbeused over andover again. Allofthevitamin Ethatwerequire is
found in the fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds of our daily diet.
What is Raynaud’s phenomenon and how should it be treated?
Raynaud’ sphenomenon isacondition where thesmallest arteries supplying the
fingers ortoes constrict onexposure tocold orfollowing anystressful situation.
Because thesmall veins areusually open, theblood drains outofthecapillaries and
thefingers ortoes become pale, cold andnumb. Ifthere isaspasm inthesmall
veins andtheblood becomes trapped inthecapillaries, thefingers ortoes become
blue astheblood loses itsoxygen. Thecondition clears when thespasm isreleased
by rubbing the parts af fected or by returning to a warm environment.
This condition should notbetreated atall.Instead examine your lifestyle tosee
ifalltheproper conditions forhealth arepresent including aregular exercise pro-
gram. Ahealthy individual possesses apurity ofthebloodstream andcirculatory
system and abnormal conditions such as Raynaud’ s phenomenon do not occur.
Have researchers established adefinite correlation between hypertension and
high levels of salt use?
Incountries such asJapan, where there isanextraordinarily high level ofsaltin
thecommon diet, there isalsoasignificantly high rateofhypertension. Saltstress-
esthemechanism thatcontrols thefluid andblood levels, andhigh blood pressure
comes about as a response to the additional salt load.
Dr.Lewis K.Dahl oftheBrookhave National Laboratories conducted research
onsaltand hypertension. Dr.Dahl wishing toexplore why hypertension isso
rare among primitive peoples with low-sodium diets, investigated thecorrelation
between saltconsumption andhypertension. Dr.Dahl conducted apilot study at
Bro


 with aspoon andabucket. Shewould squat down
near where hehadplowed andstart tospoon upsome ofthedark black clay into her
bucket until it was full.
Mygrandfather thought thatthewoman wasperhaps gathering clay from hispartic-
ularfield touseasapoultice, since thedirtinhisfields wasadarker color than other
farms inthearea. One dayhenoticed thatthewoman wasputting spoonfuls oftheclayintohermouth andchewing itup.One spoonful would gointothebucket, andthenext
spoonful would go into her mouth.
Hetook hislunch pailover tothewoman squatting inthefield andoffered herhis
sandwich, thinking thatmaybe the,woman was crazed from hunger andhadtaken to
eating dirt.
The woman looked atmygrandfather inembarrassment andrefused theoffered
food. “I’m nothungry,”shetold him, “fjusthave acraving forthiskind ofclay.My
body wants the salts in it.”
Dirtofclay-eating was, andstillis,acommon practice insome parts ofthepoor rural
South. Iteven hasaname— pica,orthecraving forunnatural nonfood substances. Many
times thedietinpoor regions ofthecountry consists of,polished rice, grits, lard, white
flour,andother totally demineralized foods. Inabizarre efforttocompensate fortheir
mineral-poor diet, thepoor people (usually nursing mothers orolder women) would de-
velop “cravings” for clay or dirt.
Ofcourse dirt-eating didnotimprove thehealth ofthese physically-deranged people;
they could no more get minerals from the soil than they could get calories from the air.
Yettoday there arestillpeople who want ustoeatinorganic minerals forhealth. The
only difference isthatthese people have extracted theminerals from thedirtandjustput
them intoanice clean pillorcapsule. Buttheapproach tonutrition isthesame. Itdoesn’ t
matter ifyoueatclay with aspoon orswallow apillfrom abottle, youarestillmaking
a futile ef fort to get your mineral needs from a totally inappropriate nonfood substance.
Wecannot utilize minerals, vitamins, andother elements ofnutrition thatareinor-
ganic innature. Ourbodies arenotmeant toprocess such nonfood items. Many ofthe
minerals andother nutritional elements thatarepacked intoapilloriginally came from
rocks (dolomite), industrial wastes (fluoride), andeven scrap metal (iron)! There are
people today who would never consider sticking aspoonful ofdirtintotheir mouths, yet
they gulp aninorganic food supplement each daythatislittle more than dirtandsoilthat
has been “prettied up.”
Our mineral needs, andother nutrient needs, canonly besatisfied byorganic ele-
ments asfound inplants. Wecannot process dirtorsoilintousable elements, norcanwe
metabolize extracts ofthese soils orchemicals thatmake upthesupplement pills. We
must eatplants (fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, etc.) thathave elaborated inorganic min-
eralcompounds intoorganic compounds andchains ifwewant toobtain realnutrition.
Plants take minerals andnutrients from thesoil; wetake minerals andnutrients from the
plants. Wecannot bypass thisall-important step asthesupplementalists would have us
believe.
86.2.1.2 Fallacy #2: Nutritional elements can be used in their fragmented form
instead of in total.
Every nutritional supplement, nomatter how complete, exists inanunnatural and
fragmented form. Tomake amineral, vitamin, orprotein pill,youmust firstdestroy the
natural food source itoccurs inandthen refine andextract aspecific element from that
food. Bysodoing, youdestroy andremove allthenatural co-existing elements ofnutri-
tion that accompany the extracted element. As an example, consider the mineral iron.
Iron ispresent inanumber ofhigh-grade fruits andvegetables, such asthecherry
orapricot. Suppose achemist wants tomake aniron pill. Hecould take rawinorganic
ironandjuststuffitintoacapsule, aswasonce done with surplus nails, orhecould take
some natural source of iron (such as the cherry) and chemically extract it.
Themineral ironthatispresent inacherry,forexample, isreadily absorbed andused
bythebody because theother necessary elements fortheabsorption ofironco-exist in
thecherry orfood itself.Forinstance, ascorbic acid aids theabsorption ofiron inthe
body byhelping toconvert ferric toferrousiron. The cherry hastheneeded ascorbic
acid present with theferric ironcompounds. Ifyouswallowed apillthathadtheironex-tracted from thecherry butnottheaccompanying ascorbic acid, then your body would
simply not have the needed co-existing elements to use the iron.
Nature packages ourvitamins, minerals, andother nutritional needs incomplete
foods. There isnochemist smarter than nature; there isnolaboratory ascomplex asthe
human body.Fragmented forms ofminerals, vitamins, andother nutritional elements can
never beasefficiently used (ifused atall)asthetotal, complete array ofnutrients that
are abundantly present in every natural, wholesome food.
86.2.1.3 Fallacy #3: All of our nutritional needs have been determined and are
accurately known.
Thesupplementalists base their nutritional approach onsuch concepts asMinimum
Daily Requirements, Recommended Daily Amounts, andTherapeutic Dosages. They
believe thatthey candetermine how much ofaspecific nutrient aperson may need, and
the best dose of that substance to give. For example, let’ s look at vitamin A:
TheRecommended Daily Allowance (RDA) forvitamin Ais5,000 IU(international
units). Ofcourse theRDA forvitamin A,likemost RDAs, issomewhat meaningless to
begin with since itisbased onaverages, ora“typical” person. Vitamin Arequirements
increase ordecrease depending upon thelifestyle wefollow andtheregular dietwefol-
low.One ofthenutritionsts who strongly believes inusing vitamin supplements states
thatforimproved health, weshould take 10,000 IUsandifweneed atherapeutic or
megadose ofthevitamin, then weshould increase ourvitamin Asupplementation to
35,000 IUs per day.
Healsowarns usthat75,000 IUsofvitamin Aproduce toxicosis inthebody andthat
200,000 IUs of vitamin A daily over a period of time can result in death.
The truth isthatthere isnooneconstant, standard orsafe amount ofvitamin Ato
universally recommend. There hasnever been away toexperimentally determine the
optimum dose ofvitamin Aaperson should ingest each day.Aslong asyouswallow
pills containing vitamin A,youhave little control orknowledge ofhow many IUsyour
body needs orcanuse. Itisquite possible totake acontinually excessive level ofvita-
min A for weeks or months before you realize the irreversible harm that has been done.
Ifyouwant extra vitamin A,why notplay itsafe andgetthevitamin from natural
foods thatitoccurs in,such ascantaloupes, peaches, carrots, apricots, ormost fresh fruits
and vegetables?
Thesupplementalists willtellyouthatthey know exactly tothelastmilligram how
much ofanyspecific nutrient thatyouneed. Youshould remember,however,thatnew
vitamins, minerals, enzymes, andother co-nutrients arebeing discovered allthetime.
Noonereally knows thefullrange ofnutrients thatthebody requires tomaintain perfect
health, andyoucanbecertain thatthere isnopillorsupplement thatcancontain allof
these life-preserving elements.
Wedoknow,however,thatfresh wholesome foods docontain allthenutrients we
need forsuperior health andwell-being. This hasbeen proven beyond adoubt because
millions ofpeople forthousands ofyears have prospered very well onsuch adietwith-
outever swallowing onepilloronesupplement. Nochemist, nolaboratory,andnonu-
tritionist canmake such anunequivocal statement norreplicate such aconvincing ex-
periment.
Torepeat: Wedonotyetknow what nutrients weneed, orinwhat amounts, topro-
duce radiant health. Wedoknow thatwholesome unprocessed fruits andvegetables do
contain allofthese elements, both known andunknown,andwewould dowell torely
on these alone to supply all of our nutrient needs.86.2.1.4 Fallacy #4: More is better.
The“more isbetter” school ofnutrition hasbeen incontrol since thenineteenth cen-
tury.These people believe thatsince alittle isgood foryou, then alotmust bebetter.It
issurprising thatintelligent people willfallforthisruse. Suppose yourunfivemiles per

articipant(s). Forexample, foraclass ofolder persons orwhen working with
anolder client who may nothave exercised formany years, onemight choose amelody
like“Somewhere MyLove” (Lara’ sTheme from “Doctor Zhivago”). Asparticipants be-
come more skilled, thetempo canbeincreased causing theexercises tobeperformed
more quickly.However,remember thatwith corrective exercising, persistence ismore
important than thetempo. That iswhy wealsorecommend thatthepracticing Hygienist
set up a schedule for his clients to follow. A sample suggested schedule follows:
Monday Wednesday Friday
First W eek Ex. A Ex. B Ex. C
Second W eek Ex. D Ex. E Ex. F
Third W eek Ex. A Ex. E Ex. C
fourth W eek Ex. B Ex. D Ex. F
The selected exercises should be typed out, xeroxed and Numbered A, B, C, etc.
Onthefifth week, anew series may begiven theclient. Exercises should beselected
keeping inmind thereason foraparticular exercise. Theexercises given inthislesson
have been selected with certain definite problems inmind, such asposture, bent spine,
weak back muscles, weak abdominal muscles, etc.There aremany other possible de-
fects thatmay present themselves totheHygienic practitioner from time totime, andwe
have presented only themost common. Thepractitioner inworking either with agroup
orwith anindividual must choose theparticular exercises which, inhisbest judgment,
will prove most conducive to good results.
96.6.4 Teaching the Client How to Get the Most Out of Exercise
There areseveral important rules tofollow.When aprecise schedule isformulated
andpresented totheclient, s/hewillbemuch more likely todotheexercises. S/heshould
betoldtostudy your suggestions carefully andtofollow them, ifs/hewishes tosecure
the most good from the exercises. The following list contains suggestions only.
1.Make upanexercise chart andmark down thetime spent doing theexercises andthe
precise number of repeats achieved.
2.Study theexercise routines, consult therecommended listgiven totheclient bytheprac-
titioner.Thepractitioner should always demonstrate each exercise totheclient andhave
theclient dotheexercise inhis/herpresence tobesure thatfullunderstanding ofexact-
lywhat isinvolved ineach exercise isachieved. Iftheclient isunable atthistime to
dotheselected exercisers) onhis/herown, some other person who may becalled upon
forassistance should also bepresent sothats/hemay become familiar with each ofthe
movements.3.Set a regular time to exercise and follow a regular program each day.
4.Make, frequent check-ups onweight andimprovements insleeping, ineating, inease
ofmotion, etc.These may berecorded ontheclient’ schart. Allimprovements should
bebrought totheattention oftheclient. These arethe“successes” wehave previously
mentioned. They serve to encourage clients in their corrective work.
5.Exercise before meals, orwait atleast onehour after eating, preferably twohours. Exer-
cising before breakfast is a good practice.
6.Provide asuitable rug,floor matorbeach towel fortheexercises performed while lying
down on the floor.
7.Begin with a5-minute exercise program andextend asendurance, vitality,etc., increas-
es.Thirty minutes adaywillprove sufficient fortheaverage person. Even spending fif-
teen minutes every day with a half hour several times a week will be highly beneficial.
8.Seethattheventilation isgood. Keep thewindows open while exercising or,better yet,
exercise out of doors, except in very cold weather.
9.Wear loose garments made of open weave.
10. Exercise tomusic. Waltzes areexcellent tostart with, increase beat asstrength andskill
increase.
11.And, finally,exercise faithfully andfollow instructions. Remember,thatwhen aclient
firststarts anexercise program, his/hermuscles areusually weak andflabby.Werecom-
mend that everyone start out by exercising one day and then resting the next.
96.7. Questions & Answers
Mydaughter hasbeen told that shehasScoliosis. Our doctor says that notmuch is
known about thiscondition andthat dietwon’t help, that thecondition isinherited.
The only thing hecando,hesays, istorefer hertoabone specialist who willprob-
ably putherinto abrace and shemay have towear this brace forayear ortwo.
What do you think about all this?
How old is your daughter?
Fifteen on her next birthday, which will be in two more months.
Nothaving seen your daughter ’scondition, ofcourse, Icanmake nospecific
recommendations norofferanyvalid opinion astowhat thefullapplication ofNat-
ural Hygiene principles andpractices might permit herbody toaccomplish, but
Icansaythis: under fullHygienic care, hergeneral condition would improve. It
might well bethathewould have towear abrace foratime, but,with proper food,
alotofrest, andgetting outinthesunshine andperforming suitable exercises, her
improvement would bemuch more rapid and, inalllikelihood, shewould nothave

iccare, especially when thephysician inchargefails torecognize theimportance of
aphysiologically- andbiologically-correct diet. Atagefifteen, sheshould notdelay
another moment togetstarted. Having agood posture atthisimportant time ofher
life, may well determine the quality of the rest of her life.
My daughter has thesame condition. Her spine iscrooked—forming anS
curve. Myhusband andIareboth Hygienists, butourdaughter thinks weareway
offthepath. She won’t eatanything butwhat the“crowd” eats and that’s ham-
burgers, french fries, cokes and even beer when they party. What can we do?
There islittle thatyoudoexcept perhaps tolayitalloutforyour daughter.In

Itseems tomethat everybody hasdifferent ideas about how totackle body de-

one-billionth of their total qualities. They would not dream of entering a
business deal with such meager knowledge but accept the world and others
and themselves on such evidence and rear like reluctant stallions when it is
suggested to them that they live among phantoms.
Focusing attention on the ego and the evidence of the senses is the veil that
hides the Secret Self. The senses themselves are not the veil, only the
impression they give that they are conveying to the observer the total aspect
of things. Nor is ego inherently a veil, only the impression that it gives
through completely dominating the consciousness that it is the actual self of
the person. Hung up in the sensual world and totally immersed in the ego,
we have no chance to perceive the Secret Self. The clarion call sounds but
our ears are not attuned. W ith our tiny and incomplete knowledge, we keep
entering into things without perceiving their true nature and ultimate
destiny. Therefore our path through life is marked mainly by suf fering and
defeat, though occasionally the purposes of this ego will coincide with the
ends of the Divine, in which case we willingly fall victim to our own
duplicity, convinced that our little machinations have moved the world. The
end of our ego is certain still, for it is but flotsam adrift on a sur ging tide
and sooner or later destroys itself by pursuing its separate ends.

Resignation and Aspiration

To let go of ego is the thing to be done. T o get outside of and free from the
grip of the senses is the only path to discovery of the Secret Self. Many
people are brought to their knees by life before they let go of self and
achieve equality through resignation. Many of the most brilliantly recorded
illuminations have happened in this manner. Out of the utmost defeat and
degradation of the human soul have arisen its most inspirational moments,
but it is doubtful if any human being would willingly choose such a path foran end that is vague to them in the first place. Mystics who have discovered
the Secret Self through mental and spiritual concentration report that even
they have experienced “a dark night of the soul” as the ego was
surrendered. Evelyn Underhill chronicled many such transfigurations, and
all were preceded by a period of deep spiritual and emotional depression,
such as Christ had in the Garden of Gethsemane. It is no easy thing to
surrender ego. It is a kind of death. But it must be done before life can be
enlar ged by the expanded consciousness that results from complete
possession of the individual by the Secret Self. The quality above all things
that is required is courage. Y ou must push of f; the jump must be taken.
Lyrically, it is almost exactly as recorded by Dustin Smith, a free-fall
parachutist:

The first time you go into a free fall is the weirdest. Y ou have no idea what
is going to happen. Y ou are terrified on the first step. Then you look down,
like God. And the ultimate is going away from the plane. In this you’re free
and you’re purely responsible for yourself. There is a real moment of truth
when you reach for the cord. Y ou come down absolutely elated. Y ou’ve
done something that in one way seems ridiculous, but in another way makes
great sense.

Now it is not recommended that any seeker after truth adopt parachuting as
a means to illumination, but there can be no doubt from Mr. Smith’ s
observations that pushing of f from the safety of an airplane into the
unknown dangers of the sky is almost exactly like the spiritual step of
pushing away from the ego and surrendering one’ s life to the unknown
guidance of the Secret Self. They both require courage; they both exemplify
a search. They both typify our aspiration to pierce the veils that blind us.

The Country Beyond
 The end r esult of transfiguration, of illumination, is for the ego to be
properly subor dinated to the Divine, but befor e the Secr et Self can even
appear to the aspiring soul ther e must be a prior period of time in which the
edge of the importance of the ego is gradually whittled down until it no
longer occupies the whole consciousness, until ther e is r oom within the
awar eness for light to enter, for the Divine to be r evealed. Some people ar e
so immersed in the workings of the ego that they haven’ t the faintest idea
what subor dinating it to another principle means. T o them the ego is the
beginning and end, the sum of all existence, and accor ding to how they
gratify this surface self by power and position and victory they feel they
have achieved success in life. The truth is that the sur est way to ensur e
against success in life — the success of arriving at a grasp of the meaning
of existence — is to continually gratify the ego. What r esults then is a
blindness by limitation, for the ego, being small, cannot see beyond itself.
Jesus, a gr eat mystic and a master of spiritual knowledge, pr onounced it to
be mor e difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a
camel to go thr ough the eye of a needle. This observation of his, of course,
is lar gely parable. It is not strictly rich men Jesus r eferr ed to, for some rich
men ar e most spiritual, but rather people who live to gratify the senses and
their own ingr own vanity; these ar e the ones to whom expanded
consciousness is unavailable. It is denied for no moral r eason, but a pur ely
scientific one. If one chooses to look thr ough a crack in the wall ther e is
revealed a partial world. If one goes thr ough the wall, the true aspect of the
country beyond is r evealed at last. Forsaking ego and uniting with the
Secret Self makes this view possible to the aspiring soul.

Expanding Consciousness

Consciousness is the key to discovering the Secret Self. T o become aware
that consciousness is the same in all people is a big step on the road to
illumination. Once you have become struck by the enormity of this situation
you will never again be the same, for you will innately perceive that at workin the universe is not a multitude of aspiring and searching souls, but one
individual only, and you are it and it is all others, and so in a very real sense
you and your neighbor are one. Once the magnificent implications of this
fact have come home to you, you will see that the secret of ef fective living
is not the exerting of your individual will as you have always supposed it to
be, but rather in growing to know and understand events and objects so that
you can correctly perceive their true purpose and destiny. And you will not
do that by observing the surface facts as recorded by the ego-self, but only
by expanding your consciousness to the point where objects and events
become a part of you, as they surely are in actuality, for both you and they
are the Secret Self.
To expand consciousness infinitely would be to grow into oneness with the
one force, the one power, the one mind that truly exists. Perhaps this goal in
this age and at this stage of evolution is impossible, but nevertheless we can
expand our present consciousness a thousandfold, if not to include the
universe, certainly to include our friends and neighbors and the events and
circumstances that surround us. By a process of identification we can come
to know other things and other people and outside events even as we know
ourselves, and possessed by this knowledge we can act in the midst of all
things in complete accord with their true nature and destiny, and so our
actions take on a kind of omnipotence, our works a kind of absolute
effectiveness, so that we appear to be molding and changing the world
about us when in truth we are only acting in conformity with its real but
unrevealed nature.

Magic Alchemy

“It is not I, but a power greater than I” is the first acknowledgment we must
make to the Secret Self. Once this is done, we have by a kind of surrender
placed our fate where it should be, in the hands of something infinitely
more informed and more capable. T o forsake the ur gings and promptings of
the surface nature and ego is the first step, for as long as we are bound tothis inef fective and tiny microcosm we cannot be ef fective in our works or
serene in our spiritual development. W e must turn away from that which we
have always considered self and embrace that which we have always
considered other than self, and in that turning away and in that embracing
lies our salvation. “It is not I who doeth the works,” stated Jesus, “but the
Father that dwelleth within me.” And when his transfiguration was
complete: “I and the Father are one.”
The surface self will not surrender lightly. Its struggles and misguided
urgings will be constant. W ise and extremely enlightened is the person who
manages to control their ego at all times. T o be human is to be subject to
error, but to discover within the image of perfection and joy is to find a way
out of the morass of physical sensation in which we find ourselves
entrapped in life. Salvation for all of

-Polio	increased	680%

Never	in	the	history	of	this	country	have	preventable	diseases	flourished	with

such	wild	abandon,	continuously	being	fed	by	the	very	drugs	and
	commercialized	irritants	that	set	them	into	operation	in	the	first	place.

Dr.	Alexis	Carrel
,	of	the	Rockefeller	Institute,	stated:

"Although	the	adult	individual	today	has	much	less	chance	of	dying	from

smallpox,	cholera,	or	typhoid,	than	he	had	50	years	ago,	he	surely	has	more

prospect	of	being	tortured	by	some	form	of	cancer,	afflicted	with	slow	diseases

of	the	kidneys,	of	the	circulatory	apparatus	or	the	endocrine	glands,	and	of	going

insane...Modern	medicine	protects	him	(attempts	to)	against	infections	which	kill

rapidly,	but	leaves	him	exposed	to	the	slower	and	more	cruel	diseases."	—
Scientific	Monthly,	July,	1925

Annie	Riley	Hale
,	in	"The	Medical	Voodoo"	speaks	of	"medicine	as	‘a	system

of	healing	which	after	5000	years	of	trial	and	error’	is	describing	itself	as	‘a

science	in	the	making’,	whose	proudest	showing	to	date	is,	that	it	has	enabled	the

race	to	‘swap’	smallpox	for	cancer	and	typhoid	fever	for	diabetes	and	insanity,

may	still	be	worthy	of	credence	and	patronage	by	its	devoted	followers.	But

what	justification	can	there	be	for	putting	the	whole	power	of	the	government

back	of	such	a	system,	and	the	public	treasury	at	its	disposal,	to	spread

misleading	propaganda	about	its	own	peculiar	doctrines	and	methods,	to	force

them	on	the	helpless?"

Although	there	are	a	number	of	far	more	successful	and	efficient	systems	of

healing	in	this	country,	the	medical	system	is	the	only	one	that	gets	endorsement

and	support	from	the	government.	All	our	tax	supported	Departments	of	Health,

hospitals	and	institutions	are	under	the	domination	of	medical	personnel.	In	spite

of	the	financial	support,	public	confidence	and	full	scale	experimentation	and

testing	of	all	their	methods	and	theories,	the	medical	school	of	healing	has

utterly	failed	to	control	any	of	the	killer	diseases	and	doesn’t	have	a	sure	cure	for

even	one	of	the	mild	diseases.	Smallpox	and	other	epidemics	were	largely

controlled	by	improvements	in	sanitation	and	nutrition	years	before	vaccination

became	popularized.	Yet	a	tremendous	sum	of	money	is	poured	into	the	medical

coffers	every	year	with	no	accounting	made	for	its	use	and	no	benefits	received.

Isn’t	it	time	that	this	squandering	of	public	funds	be	stopped	and	the	better

qualified	practitioners	be	given	a	chance	to	salvage	the	wreckage	before	it	is	too

late?
	THE	INSIDE	STORY
After	half	a	century	of	medical	practice,	Dr.	John	Tilden	made	the	following

observation,	regarding	inadequate	medical	procedures:

"Ability	to	cure	has	not	kept	pace	with	diagnosis,	and	today	we	behold	the

scientific	paradox	of	skilled	physicians	sometimes	knowing	exactly	what	disease

the	patient	is	suffering	with,	but	unable	to	cure	the	disease...Ability	to	diagnose,

but	impotence	in	curing,	is	the	true	status	of	scientific	medicine.

"Clinicians	are	floundering	about	in	a	sea	of	speculation	and	uncertainty

concerning	cause	and	cure;	and	the	best	of	them	declare	that	autopsies	prove	that

almost	half	of	their	diagnoses	are	wrong."	(Dr.	Charles	Mayo,	in	a	radio

broadcast	stated	that	at	their	clinic,	autopsies	show	that	they	get	only	20%

diagnoses	right.)

"Every	part	of	the	body	is	represented	by	a	specialist.	The	irony	of	all	this

professional	perfection	is	summed	up	in	a	few	words,	namely,	diagnosis	is	an

elaborate	system	of	summing	up	effects	without	a	scintilla	of	knowledge	of

cause,	and	treatment	is	a	stupendous	scheme	of	palliation,	with	braggadocio

concerning	immunization.	But	the	question	will	not	down:	How	is	a	disease	to

be	prevented	or	cured	when	the	cause	is	unknown?	All	400	or	more	so	called

diseases	are	nothing	more	than	expressions	of	our	general	systematic

derangement—states	which	I	am	pleased	to	name	toxemia,	or	healing	crises.

Toxemia	is	a	state	of	body	poisoning—self	generated	or	induced	by	vaccine

serums,	drugs	or	other	poisons."	("Philosophy	of	Health,"	Tilden)

R.	T.	Trall,	M.D.,	was	another	doctor	who	gave	the	medical	method	a	long	and

thorough	trial	before	abandoning	it	as	a	failure.	He	turned	to	nature	and	its

simplicity	and	upon	its	sound	basic	laws	of	healing	he	brought	about	miracles	of

recovery	from	all	diseases.	After	trying	to	justify	the	inconsistencies	of	medical

theory	he	had	this	to	say:

"Why	has	not	success	in	treating	disease	kept	pace	with	the	extraordinary

progress	of	knowledge	of	other	sciences?	The	answer	is	ready:	A	successful

practice	of	the	healing	art	must	be	based	upon	the	laws	of	life,	the	economy	of

vitality.	The	only	foundation,	therefore,	of	true	healing	is	correct	physiological

principles;	and	here	is	precisely	where	the	whole	orthodox	medical	system	of	the

present	day	fails—utterly	and	totally	fails.	It	has	no	physiological	and	biological
	science	upon	which	to	truly	practice	the	healing	art."

These	are	strong	words	coming	from	medical	doctors	who	know	the	system

thoroughly.	Medicine	is	a	paying	game—financially	speaking—and	for

successful	practitioners	to	leave	it	for	the	sake	of	honesty,	integrity,	and	idealism.

indicates	that	these	cherished	qualities	are	lacking	in	that	branch	of	business.

It	is	this	lack	of	correct	physiological	and	biological	principles	that	has	enabled

the	medical	profession	to	foist	such	an	unscientific	delusion	as	vaccination	on

the	public.

VACCINATION	IS	BASED	ON	A	FALSE	PREMISE
The	false	"germ	theory"	of	disease,	upon	which	vaccination	is	based,	has	been

the	"blind	leader	of	the	blind"	that	has	dragged	the	medical	system	and	the

Impressionable	public	deeper	into	the	morass	of	confusion	and	disease.	(The

germ	theory	is	discussed	at	length	in	the	chapter	titled	ON	FRIENDLY	TERMS

WITH	GERMS	in	Book	II.)

However,	our	present	concern,	in	this	chapter,	is	merely	to	point	out	the

instability	of	the	nebulous	theory	of	"antibodies"	which	is	the	main	prop	that

holds	up	the	dead	corpse	of	vaccination.	In	volume	6	of	THE	HYGIENIC

SYSTEM,	Dr.	Herbert	M.	Shelton	brings	into	sharper	focus	this	"tricky"	subject

of	antibodies.	These	elusive	little	nothings	have	fooled	the	people	and	served	the

uses	of	the	doctors	but	have	vanished	into	theory	when	subjected	to	the	clear

light	of	scientific	investigation.

devastating ef fect.
Left-handed individuals develop problems on opposite sides to genuine right-handed individuals. Handedness can be tested by
observing which hand is on top when clapping; this is the leading hand. With right-handedness all muscles at the right side of the
body are involved with partners and possibly other individuals and all left-sided muscles with children or the own mother. These
conditions may change with hormonal changes as with the birth control pill or menopause.
The Healing Phase
The start of a DHS or conﬂict-shock experience is different from other conﬂicts that we experience in our daily lives. It causes a
continuous stress resulting in a tendency to develop cold hands and feet, lack of appetite and weight loss, sleeplessness and
dwelling all the time on the conﬂict content. If the conﬂict does not become resolved soon, the long-lasting stress will lead to speciﬁc
symptoms and the development of cancer or another disease.
When the conﬂict resolves, the patient is no longer occupied with the conﬂict content, the appetite returns, hands are warm again and
also normal sleep returns, but there may also be weakness, fatigue and a need to rest. These effects show that the parasympathetic
nervous system is now in control. This is the beginning of the healing phase, which can be long and difﬁcult.
During the ﬁrst part of the healing phase we see water retention and inﬂammations but the tumor stops growing. This eventually
leads to a healing crisis, which Hamer calls an epileptic or epileptoid crisis because it is caused by an edema in the Hamer Herd
brain lesion. It shows unique symptoms for each illness.
After this the body starts to expel the accumulated water, the patient gradually regains strength and body functions become normal.
Now the connective tissue in the brain, the glia, starts repairing the Hamer Herd. This may be interpreted by conventional radiologists
as a fast-growing brain tumor and treated accordingly. Hamer writes that real brain tumors do not exist, as nerve cells in the brain
cannot divide.
Hamer estimates that 99% of brain events, such as strokes, bleeding into the brain, cysts and tumors are due to healing events of
Hamer Herds and with this temporary and self-limiting unless there is inappropriate medical intervention. The most important support
in these situations is the reduction of any brain edema.10/30/24, 4:56 PM Health-Science-Spirit - The New Medicine of Dr Hamer
https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Cancer/The-New-Medicine-of-DrHamer.html 3/6During the healing crisis the patient  may for a short time re-experience the original psychological conﬂict with cold hands and cold
sweat. This serves to suppress and eliminate the edema in the brain lesion, which then allows other body conditions to normalize.
The main danger point is just before the end of the healing crisis when it will become apparent if the body is strong enough to
eliminate the disease. In difﬁcult cases with long or strong conﬂict duration massive brain edema may develop for which Hamer uses
cortisone injections. In natural therapy we use an assortment of urea and anti-inﬂammatory therapies instead.
Urea has strong diuretic properties and an excellent effect in cases of dangerously high ﬂuid pressure in the brain. Generally 20 g of
urea are used 2 to 5 times daily. One life-threatening case has been described of a massive “brain tumor” re-growth that completely
disappeared within 2 hours after receiving 256 ml of 30% urea (describ ed in Your Own Perfect Medicine by Martha Christy, Future
Med). This report clearly shows that the presumed brain tumor in fact was a massive edema as postulated in the New Medicine.
What Hamer calls the epilepsy crisis may be experienced by the patient as a heart attack, lung embolism, hepatitis or a lung
infection. Generally, during the healing phase, the patient will have more discomfort than when the tumor was actively growing. In the
ﬁrst part of the healing phase most problems are due to water retention, inﬂammations and swelling of tissues that can cause a lot of
pain. Hamer regards edema, whether found in the brain or in an organ, as positive, a sign of healing.
Tissue Repair
After the healing crisis adeno-carcinomas are removed by fungi and mycobacteria while hepatitis virus may in addition help to
regenerate the liver. At this stage, bacteria, viruses and fungi that help to break down the tumors and repair damaged tissues also
cause inﬂammation, pain and fever.
If you ﬁnd it odd that Hamer regards  microbes as essential friends and helpers in the healing of cancer, he has made an even more
surprising discovery. In his ontogenetic system of tumors and cancer equivalent diseases he distinguishes between two opposite
processes during the active conﬂict phase. Depending on the location of the Hamer Herd in the brain, there may be either cell
proliferation or cell destruction.
The ﬁrst group has cell proliferation and tumor growth during the conﬂ ict phase and then removes excess cells with the help of
microbes during the healing phase. The other group causes cell destru ction during the conﬂict phase resulting in ulcers, necroses
and tissue holes af fecting for instance bones (osteoporosis), kidneys, spleen or ovaries.
During the healing phase, this secon d group tries to ﬁll in the created holes through cell proliferation. Tissue necroses and osteolyses
(dissolved bone) are now repaired by bacteria that ﬁrst form abscess es, which are then ﬁlled in with scar tissue and later with
granulating tissue to form osteosarcoma, lymphoma, ﬁbroma and healing cysts. Also leukemia commonly occurs during the healing
phase, as after bone marrow damage from radiation, chemicals or bone cancer.
According to Hamer these conditions are generally self-limiting and only get out of control when additional conﬂict shocks occur or
the body is too old or weak or through the methods of conventional medicine. In contrast, natural healing methods aim to support
body and mind during this trying time. Most healings proceed without major problems, but about 10% need the full support of an
experienced therapist, especially at the time of the healing crisis.
Healing the Psychic Conﬂict
The main task in every case of canc er is to ﬁnd the original emotional shock experience and make sure that it has been healed or is
being healed. In many case it will have corrected itself and the patient suf fers from an ef fect of the healing phase.
For instance, someone may have lost a farm or business but has now started another satisfying venture or hobby. As after-ef fect
there may now be a tumor that gradually becomes dormant or eventually disintegrates.   About 40% of tumors discovered during
routine medical investigations are said to be old and harmless, that is dormant and calciﬁed. However, complications may still arise if
medical intervention now instills a fear of death conﬂict shock that induces the same or another tumor to grow.
Nevertheless, in other cases the original conﬂict may still be active or there may be a second active conﬂict. As we do not know, we
have to probe in every case to ﬁnd the original and any other conﬂicts. We need to think back, especially one to two years before our
problem started and analyze our emotional history during this time as well as before and after. Also meditation and regression
therapy may be useful to discover conﬂict shocks.
If we still have a strong emotional response when we discover the content of the conﬂict, then we can be sure that it is still
unresolved. If at all possible it is best to solve it in a natural way. For instance if it was caused by losing a partner, then ﬁnd someone
new; if you lost a child, become pregnant again or adopt a child or buy a pet. Cancer does not continue to grow after the third month
as pregnancy has priority.
If a natural solution is not possible, then use guided imagery either on your own or with the help of a partner or a suitable therapist. In
a relaxed and meditative state re-create and re-experience the conﬂict as intensely as you can but then substitute a desirable or
acceptable outcome. Create and experience this new outcome as vividly and detailed as possible, see it, feel it and possibly even
hear and smell it. The original experience may also have imprinted you with the memories of unrelated details of your ordeal (tracks)
to which you may now react with allergies. You may try to overcome these in the same way with guided imagery.
If neither of these methods is possible because you feel that you have to continue your present duties or ordeal for whatever reason,
then only increased spiritual understanding and acceptance may be able to help. In either case, be aware of your vulnerabilities and
avoid any further conﬂict shocks but if one does happen, get it out of your system is soon as possible.
In addition, I ﬁrmly believe that all active conﬂicts will be terminated and the healing phase begin when we are able to strongly feel
love and forgiveness within ourselves and then radiate it to all others but especially to anyone who we feel might have wronged us.
