 deal more than is expected, and
understands that the way to feel successful and enlightened is to surprise
others by giving them more than they expected. Networkers never try to
accumulate power; they circulate all that they have, and encourage others to
do the same.
Many businesses are starting to network. The essence of the recent trend,
described in the fastest-selling  business books, is to develop  a win/win
approach; to forget about your own quotas; to focus exclusiv ely on how
best to serve the customers. Growing numbers of employees and employers
are discovering  that reintroducing exceptional service into their
organizations and reconnecting to a spiritual side of themselve s and others
are a pleasanter  and more successful way of doing business. When the
organization begins to function at this level, the networking principle of
detachment creates an environment in which the customer and the members
of the or ganization are all in a winning situation.
From allowing yourself to simply flow, to examining your attachments,
and finally to networking. This entire universal principle of detachment is
troublesome for those of us reared in the part of the world that prefers to
count the trees rather than to contemplate the forest. It is important
therefore to look openly at any resistance you may have to developing a
more peaceful, detached view.

WHY  YOU MA Y RESIST  DET ACHMENT

Below are the most common reasons why many people in our Western
culture find it dif ficult to be detached.

Detachment means to trust the universe to provide for us as we travel
our path of enlightenment. We have not been encouraged to make this
kind of commitment to a metaph ysical principle. We were taught to get
as much as possible, hold on to it before the other guy takes it away,
and always scramble for more. Examine whether you want the controls
of your inner life to be based on people, things, and events external to
yourself. Consider how it would feel to have self-determination for
your inner life.We work  hard at a given profes sion, climb the ladder of succes s, deny
ourselves for a majority of our years, and hope for a future rewa rd. We
believe that suffering in some capacity is what we must do. We have
never had a course in applie d metaphysics in all of our formal
schooling. Our educational experiences center around what we know
rather than how we feel. I suggest that you diligently examin e what
you believe about being successful. Is it really wealth accumulation,
ownership, profi ts? You may want to abandon some entrenched beliefs
to make detachment a workable philosophy of life.
Many people conclude that detachment means not having anything and
consequently having to sacrifice  all that they have worked for up until
now. In short, giving up the good life. But detachment means freeing
yourself from needing  attachm ents. It does not mean sacrifice. Success
as an inner process cannot be measured by accumulations. When you
use external acquisitions to measure your inner worth, it is impossible
to feel detache d from them. You can incorporate the principle of
detachment in your life and continue to enjoy all the abundance that
you choose.
The idea of being detached from loved ones may trouble you. You may
feel that it is promoting a noncaring, indifferent attitud e. But
detachment as applied to loving relationships means quite the opposite.
It means  loving people deeply and unconditionally for what they are,
without judgment when they choose to be what they want to be. With
children, detachment does not mean allowing them to follow their
instincts and disregard their responsibilities. Children are happier
human beings when they have  learned how to include respe ct and
responsibility in their lives. But they learn this from adult behavior that
demonstrates respect and responsibility. An attitude of detachment will
prevent children from manipulating parents into emotional slaves to
their conduct. Attachment, not detachment, will victimize you and
contribute to a breakdown in your relationships.
You may be thinking of detach ment as an absence of convicti on and
purpose, and feel that one needs  to get out there and rattle some  cagesin order  to survive. I suggest, in response to this misunderstanding,
that those who experience a great deal of success are those who know
how to flow with life rather than fight it. They experience inner peace
rather than inner turmoil. Flowing rather than fighting is a sure way to
avoid a stressful  approach to life in which you are always struggling to
row upstream.
If your resistance to the detachment principle is strong, if you find it
difficult to comprehend, I suggest you nonjudgmentally and lovingly
embrace how you feel. Do not try to force yourself to feel what does not
feel right to you. Do not feel that you are judged by yourself or others. This
unconditional love for yourself will always lead you in your right direction.
You are on your path. Believe it, and you will see it!

IMPLEMENTING DET ACHMENT  IN YOUR LIFE

Detachment involves a kind of surrender to the force or intelligence that is
behind all form, including your own. Once you completely trust in this
energy that makes all form work perfectly, you begin to slow  down and
work in harmony with this intelligence. The word “surrender” is a good one
to keep  in mind. It reminds  us to stop the fighting that creates a
battleground of life. With surrender, we relax into the natural intelligence
and flow of life and can ignore  the impulse to be attached to things and
people, as they wind in and out of our lives.
Here are some ideas to help you with the surrendering process—ideas
that will make you stronger, since fighting and attachments weaken you and
you gather strength when you flow unimpeded.

Flow with what you encounter rather than being inwardly critical.
Learn a new way of processing or thinking about everything that you
encounter. For instance, rather than judging the way the driver ahead
of you is behaving, send a loving thought and practice believing that
what you are encountering is exactly the way it is supposed to be.
Detach yourself  from the idea that a slow driver is somehow wrongand that you are right to be upset. Set aside an hour to flow with
everyone that you meet. Allow everyone to be who and what he or she
is without your being attached to an idea that that someone should be
different. Do the same thing while watching the news on television. Do
not pretend to love what you despise, but see if you can let the news
flow through your awareness without being hooked by compulsive
judgment. Detachment will give you a sense of peace about what you
hear and see. You will discover the simple yet elusive truth that the
world is working exactly as it is supposed to. Your attachment to how
you think it is supposed to be working only makes you a victim.
Try replacing some of your competition with cooperation. Rath er than
viewing yoursel f as in compet ition with anyone, try viewing others
from a universal  perspective. See them as a part of Human Bein g. See
yourself as someone who functi ons much more effectively and happily
when you do not have to defeat anyone in order to feel good  about
yourself. Remem ber that when you need to defeat another in order to
feel total, that other person contr ols your life. Compete athletically and
in business if you choose to, but cooperate at the same time by
detaching yourself from the eventual outcome. This loosening-up
process is detachment in action.  Let every single move you make in a
competitive encounter be something unique unto itself, something to
enjoy and live fully in that moment. Remember that if you are
concentrated on what the eventu al outcome will be, your attachm ent to
winning will paradoxically make  it less likely that you emer ge with the
better score. Detachment works by seeing yourself in cooperation with
all of humanity, including your adversaries. Detachment from needing
to win frees you up to flow with every single moment needed  in the
competitive process. Enlightenment is not in whether you win. It is in
seeing yourself as fully human when you do not win and treating
others respectfully whether you have won or lost.
Keep things circulating in your life. If you have not used somet hing in
the past year, regardless of how attached to it you are, pass it along.
You have used up its usefulness to you. By circulating it to someone
who will be able to use it now, you ensure that this process continues.
Go through your garage and discard as much of your “thens” as youcan bear to right now. Remind yourself that it is impossible to run out
of “nows,” so you do not need to store away those “thens ” as a
safeguard. Keep  everything circulating. Letting go of attachments is a
rewarding way to feel positive about yourself, and to keep things
flowing back into your own life as well. It works—it really does—but
you will see it only when you believe it.
Talk to yourself  about your attitude toward ownership. How can you
own a watch, a diamond, a house, or anything? The best you can get is
a temporary lease to enjoy them. Ownership is impossible. Your
pleasure is a result of your think ing, not of your possessions. An object
is just that. Your pleasure in and enjoyment of it come from how you
choose to think about it. Close


 did not die. But due to the weal ''ess
of the heart, asthma, cough, phlegm etc. still persisted. The doctor
diagnosed it as the asthma of the heart. Consequently, he warned
.me not to take part in any social activity. I heeded to the warning
but the phlegm and cough did not stop. It was so intense that I
could not take any rest nor get any peace.
On 8th february 1958, I rang up my doctor Shri jashubhai Bhatt
and acquainted him of my condition. Next day I went to the Sheth
Lallubhai G. Hospital. The doctor examined me. He screened. my
heart and lungs and found some moisture in the right lung which
was the cause of cough and phlegm. The condition was not serious.
He prescribed an injection of Naphthol in order to drain out the
water deposited in the lungs and said that I should pass about 60-70
oz. of urine by this treatment. This would clear the lungs and cough
75 76 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
an~ phlegm would subside. The conditon of the heart was not
senous. On t~e t~ird day I took the same injection and passed about
80 oz. ~f u:me m 24 hours but cough and phlegm did not abate.
Meanwhile rt so _happened that Shri Juthabhai Shah of Harijan
Ashram, Sabar~atr, came to see me. During the conversation he
talke~ about U~lne trea_tment. In February of antecedent year, when I
w~s m.a hosprtal, a fnend had written to me that I could be cured
wrth unne treatment. But I was helpless at that time.
After. almost one year the same proposal came again. Shri
Juthabhar. gave me a copy of The Water of Life to read and also
~elated hrs own experience thereof. I went through the book It
mterested m~ ~ore and more as I went through its pages: It
appeare~ as rf rt wa~ discussing my own case. The old memories
about unne were revrved I was convinced that th" t h ·.... · r·s reatment must
ave great possrbrlltres. l.n spite of all social and psychological
ta?oos, I made up my mmd to make an experiment with urine I
wrshed to m~ke it scientific. So I sent for a doctor whose sinceri
was ~nquestronable and consulted him and decided to begin thty
expen ment. e
. To keep on the safe side, I began with the external application of
unne only. Week-old urine was rubbed on the entire bod
sh~shikant Joyfully undertook this duty. He used to rubY·m:y w~~
unne for one and half hours daily. The time devoted to different
parts was as follows: (1) soles -1 0 minutes· (2) legs 20. ( )...'- mmutes; 3 -
arms -12 mmutes, more trme for palms and fingers; (4) chest,
stom~ch and abdomen -15 minutes; (5) back, waist and both sides -
13 ~mutes; ~6) head, face and neck -20 minutes. In this way the
r~bbmg ~ontr~ued for ~0 minutes in all. This experience showed
t at rubbrng rf done wrth love, is very beneficial. Urine. massa e
produced the following effects on my body : (1) After tw d. g 20th febr · 1 ° ays, r.e., uary unne was c ear and its passage unobstructed. For this
purpose formerly I used to take Dymox pills which were eff". onl ~ d rcae1ous
Y. or two ay~. An injection used to squeeze out water from all
the trssues took trme to recover. By massaging with urine, only that EXPERIMENT ON SELF : 77
much of urine was passed as is normal, for a healthy person. (2)
Before this rubbing, I suffered from an acute pain in the waist and
for standing up and sitting down, I needed assistance. After a week,
I could st.and up and move without any support. (3) The pain in the
back also disappeared. (4) On the ninth day, one more wonderful
change was observed. Before the treatment I felt itching sensation on
certain portions in the upper parts of the legs along with throbbing
pain which resulted in high inflammation and the skin of that part
lost sensation. All that itching throbbing pain or burning disapr)eared
and the skin became normal. (5) Within 12 to 14 days a miracle had
taken place.· The cough subsided and there was no more phlegm.
After two weeks all the trouble disappeared and my mouth
remained dry and clean. In fact, this change was a surprise to me.
Now I could take a sound sleep for 6 to 8 hours. (6) All my friends
wondered at the new brightness and softness of the skin, strength
and vigour in the body and brightness on the face. Even the doctors
were much impressed. In this way all the minor ailments along
with asthma were cleared up. I felt lightness in my body.
On March 7th, I saw the doctor again in the same hospital. I had
already sent him the book The Water of Life to read and he had gore
through it. He examined my body. The results were as follaws :
(1) The heart which was enlarged appeared somewhat contracted.
(2) The lungs were dry and clear. (3) There was no cough or phlegm.
(4) the beating of heart was 80 per minute. (5) The ~ating of pulse
was 72 per minute. (6) Blood-pressure was 140. (7) Temperature
was normal.
The beating of heart though 80, was not regular which indicated
some defect there, Heaving of the heart, while doing some work,
also indicated the same thing. The doctor was satisfied with his
examination. He told me that my physical condition was much
better. Though the weakness of heart still persisted, but in future as
the heart would be free from the pain caused by cough and phlegm,
it would get both rest as well as health.
Heaving heard this opinion, I disclosed my mind to the do~or
U.T.-~ I. 78 : AUTO-URINE THERAPY
that 15 days' application of urine had brought the result. 1 further
said I wanted to go ahead with the experiment and fast for five days
on urine and water to uproot the he~rt trouble totally. Yet I did not
want to fast without his advice. At last he allowed me to have a fast
for two days and that too on the condition that I submit the first
day's report at 9 p.m.
. Next day Dr. Pushpendra Bhatta examined me before the fast. 1
pass.ed 3 oz. of urine at 7 a.m. which I drank. After that every drop
of urine passed during the day was taken. The same doctor
examined me at 10 p.m. and sent the report to Dr. Jashubhai Bhatta.
My blood-pressure went down from 130 to 120 on account of the
first day's fast. However, he permitted to observe fast the next day
also. The second day at 7 a.m.. 1 did not feel any urge for passing
uril'le but felt thirst instead. So the fast began with water. During the
day I drank whatever urine I passed and also drank water as
required. At night the same d6.ctor examined me again and sent the
report to Dr. Jashubhai Bhatta. After the second day's fast, my
blood-pressuer went down from 120 to 108. I asked him to permit
me to fast one more day but he did not give consent because of my
low blood-pressure. So I broke that fast with lentil soup. The urine
rubbing was also discontinued. After that I continued to drink about
4 oz. of urine passed in the morning for four days:
I went to the hospital after five days of the fast. Dr. Jashubahai
and myself were anxious to know the results of two days' fast. No
sooner I entered his room he exclaimed, "Even before the
examination, I can say that your experiment has changed the colour
of your skin; it appears brighter, softer and more alive. I am really
astonished ~t the improvement. I am prepared to give the certificate
that your experiment has proved a success." I replied that the
experiment was not complete and that I could claim my experiment
successful only when the heart trouble also disappeared totally.
He examined me. A cardiogram of my heart was taken which
showed a slight improyement. I asked for his permission to go out for
four or five days which he granted most willingly. I did not feel any. EXPERIMENT ON SELF : 79

oin’	on	the
phone?”	Perhaps	his	most	intriguing	response	came	when	Aimee	concentrated
on	a	picture	of	flowers.	Instead	of	simply	uttering	the	key	word	“flower,”
Ni’kisi	said,	“That’s	a	pic	of	flowers.”
How	did	he	do	overall?	Out	of	71	trials,	N’kisi	got	23	hits,	as	compared
with	7.4	hits	that	would	have	been	expected	if	the	results	had	been	random.
Sheldrake	points	out	that	this	is	quite	a	significant	outcome,	all	the	more
because	N’kisi	wasn’t	aware	that	he	was	being	tested	and	often	said	the	right
key	word	after	the	allotted	time	was	up.
In	a	small	Manhattan	apartment	this	bit	of	proof	was	added	to	mounting
evidence	that	the	mind	isn’t	solely	human	property,	and	in	fact	might	exist
outside	the	brain.	Communication	between	the	animal	kingdom	and	humans
may	seem	odd,	but	pets	can’t	cheat	and	they	have	no	ulterior	motive	for
proving	they	have	special	abilities.	The	Vedic	rishis	long	ago	asserted	that	the
entire	universe	is	intelligent,	because	it	is	permeated	by	consciousness.	Let’s
see	how	precisely	we	can	put	this	in	modern	terms.
Into	the	Mind	Field
Mind	has	remained	a	metaphysical	riddle	for	centuries	because	it	inhabits	the
physical	world	like	a	ghost.	But	that’s	a	Western	perspective	based	on	our	bias
for	solid,	tangible	things.	We	insist	that
the
	brain	must	be	the	source	of	mind
because	the	brain	is	a	visible	object,	which	is	like	saying	that	a	radio	must	be
the	source	of	music	because	it	is	a	visible	object	from	which	music	emerges.
The	Vedic	rishis	adopted	the	opposite	perspective,	insisting	that	visible
objects	couldn’t	be	the	source	of	mind	since	the	physical	plane	is	the	least
conscious	of	worlds.	It	may	seem	significant	that	the	brain	is	active	during
thought,	but	a	radio	is	active	during	a	broadcast,	and	there	is	no	doubt	that
N’kisi	(not	to	mention	human	telepaths)	picked	up	a	thought	that	was	being
broadcast.
Our	Western	prejudice	against	the	invisible	isn’t	easy	to	overcome.	Mind
will	only	be	proved	to	exist	outside	the	brain	if	it	leaves	some	kind	of
footprint,	a	visible	sign	that	is	as	convincing	as	the	MRIs	that	provide
concrete	evidence	of	neural	activity.	One	such	piece	of	evidence	isinformation,	which	we’ve	touched	on	before.	If	information	permeates	the
entire	quantum	field,	it	can	bridge	mind	and	matter	in	terms	more	acceptable
to	a	materialist.	No	scientist	has	a	problem	believing	that	matter	and	energy
cannot	be	created	or	destroyed,	and	the	cutting	edge	of	physics	is	grappling
with	the	notion	that	information	cannot	be	created	or	destroyed,	either.	What
we	see	in	the	universe	is	constant	transformation.	Helium	atoms	that	fuel	the
sun	send	heat	to	Earth	that	gets	transformed	by	photosynthesis	into	plants	and
all	other	life-forms.	It	can	fairly	be	said	that	life	consists	of	the	sun’s	atoms
exchanging	information	with	atoms	on	Earth.	(Energy	is	information	in	the
sense	that	all	chemical	or	electrical	charges	can	be	expressed	as	plus	or	minus,
positive	or	negative,	zero	or	one.)	It	doesn’t	matter,	then,	that	your	body	bears
no	resemblance	to	a	fiery	star.	Both	are	part	of	the	same	information	field,
which	undergoes	endless	transformation	within	itself.	Or	as	Lord	Krishna
says	in	the	Bhagavad-Gita,	“Folding	back	in	on	myself,	I	create	again	and
again.”
Amit	Goswami,	a	prominent	physicist	who	writes	extensively	on	the	self-
aware	universe,	says	that	creativity	is	just	another	face	of
transformation
.
“The	universe	is	always	putting	new	wine	into	old	bottles,	or	new	wine	into
new	bottles.”	The	same	energy	packets,	containing	the	same	information,	are
being	endlessly	shuffled	in	the	Zero	Point	Field.	Goswami	approaches
reincarnation	in	the	same	context.	Identities	are	passing	through	the
information	field,	exchanging	data	with	new	identities	that	feel	like	a	new
“me”	but	are	actually	transmutations	of	indestructible	zeros	and	ones	strung
into	long	chains	of	ideas	and	experiences.
Right	now	you	are	a	bundle	of	information	in	mind	and	body.	You	have
unique	memories;	your	cells	have	undergone	chemical	changes	shared	by	no
one	else	in	the	world.	When	you	die,	none	of	this	information	will	vanish,
because	it	can’t.	There	is	nowhere	for	plus	and	minus,	positive	and	negative
to	go	since	the	field	contains	nothing
but
	information.	Therefore	their	only
alternative	is	to	recombine.	How	do	they	do	that?
The	answer	lies	in	the	root	word	of	information,	which	is	“form.”	We
inhabit	an	“in-formed	universe”	according	to	Ervin	Laszlo,	which	strings
atoms	along	the	double	helix	of	DNA,	bits	of	information	in	physical	form,
just	as	it	strings	together	information	in	nonphysical	form	as	ideas.	This
brings	us	one	step	closer	to	the	breathtaking	notion	that	the	whole	universe	is
God’s	mind;	that	is,	a	dynamic	field	of	infinite	information	undergoing
infinite	transformations.	But	we	can’t	take	that	step	unless	we	know	how
small	ideas	survive,	much	less	cosmic	ones.
The	rishis	taught	that	ideas	survive	in	the	Akashic	field	as	memories.	You
and	I	constantly	access	Akashic	memory	when	we	assume	that	we	are
accessing	our	brains.	In	esoteric	circles	Akashic	memory	functions	to	give	us
information	from	departed	spirits	and	past	lifetimes.	In	Jungian	psychologythe	same	memory	accounts	for	cultures	sharing	the	same	myths	and
archetypes.	Venus	and	Mars	are	invisible	beings,	yet	present	and	alive.	The
Akasha	remembers	every	god
created
	by	humans	and	every	epic	battle,
romance,	and	quest.	We	tap	into	them	all	the	time	as	the	human	story
continues	from	age	to	age.
The	brain	has	a	locatable	memory	center,	but	mind	isn’t	confined	to	the
brain.	Consider	a	deeply	meaningful	experience	in	your	life—a	first	kiss,	or
the	last	time	you	saw	a	beloved	grandparent.	That	memory	is	the	remaining
trace	of	an	event	in	time	and	space.	The	experience	can	still	be	activated	in
your	brain,	which	means	that	millions	of	molecules	that	could	be	flying
randomly	through	your	neurons
know
	that	they	have	to	stay	together	in	order
for	your	memory	to	continue,	year	after	year,	without	fading.	How	could	they
know	this,	since	molecules	aren’t	intelligent?	The	physical	basis	for	memory
remains	totally	unknown	to	neurologists,	so	we	can	only	speculate.
Somehow	your	first	kiss	has	an	afterlife.	The	afterlife	isn’t	physical,
because	there’s	absolutely	no	difference	between	the	hydrogen,	oxygen,
nitrogen,	and	carbon	in	a	neuron	and	those	same	elements	in	a	tree,	a	dead
leaf,	or	decomposed	soil.	Neurons	aren’t	immortal.	They	die,	just	as	the	rest
of	the	body	does,

If you’re looking for a nutrient-rich supplement, try any of the
following:
 Bran: The outer and most ﬁber-rich part of whole grains is
the bran, which usually gets removed from the grainduring processing. It adds soluble ﬁber, but considerably
less than psyllium. The two most popular, oat and wheat
bran, contain gluten, although rice bran is available. My
advice: For ﬁber, check out psyllium instead.
 Flaxseed: Whole ﬂaxseeds pass through the body virtually
intact without releasing their nutrients and fats, so you
want to make sure to use ground ﬂaxseed. Flaxseed
contains alpha linolenic acid (ALA), which the body uses
to produce omega-3 fatty acids. Add 1 tablespoon ground
ﬂaxseed to smoothies every day.
 Hemp: In many places, hemp seeds are illegal (because of
their connection to marijuana), but they’re a great source
of protein, ﬁber, and omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids.
Start with 1 teaspoon and work up to 1 tablespoon of
hemp seeds in smoothies daily. If hemp seeds are
unavailable, use wheat germ and up to 1 tablespoon of
hemp oil.
 Psyllium: Psyllium is the outer husk or covering of the
plant known as Plantago ovata. Its soluble ﬁber absorbs
water, forms a gel, and swells, putting pressure on the
colon and easing constipation. Add 1 teaspoon to a
smoothie serving, and drink 1 glass of water after the
smoothie and several glasses of water throughout the day.
 Wheat germ: The germ is the tiny core of the grain. It
contains nutrients for the plant. Two tablespoons deliver 4
grams of protein, 2 grams of ﬁber, and about 1.5 grams of
unsaturated fat. Hemp is richer in nutrients, but if you can
tolerate gluten and don’t have hemp seeds, start with 1
teaspoon of wheat germ and work up to 1 tablespoon of
wheat germ in smoothies daily.
H e r b s  a n d  s p i c e sAs a culinary herbalist, I could ﬁll a book with the healing
beneﬁts of hundreds of herbs. Here are my top smoothie herb
and spice picks:
 Cinnamon: Cinnamon can help moderate blood sugar,
which is good news for diabetics and people who are
weight-conscious. Cinnamon is an antioxidant and inhibits
ulcers, as well as being helpful in reducing joint pain and
muscle stiffness. Add 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon per
smoothie serving.
 Garlic: Garlic’s antioxidant, antibacterial, heart protecting,
and anti-cancer properties give it healing power. Add one
raw, peeled clove of garlic for each smoothie serving.
 Ginger: I use ginger to treat headaches, nausea, and
vomiting, but ginger has anti-inﬂammatory and antioxidant
properties, so you may want to add it to drinks often. Use
1 tablespoon of freshly grated raw ginger, 1/4 teaspoon of
ground ginger, or a 1/2-inch slice or cube of candied ginger
per smoothie serving.
 Licorice: Well known as a soothing throat and stomach
medicine, licorice supports the immune system. It also has
anti-inﬂammatory and anti-tumor properties. Use 1/4 to 1/2
teaspoon ground licorice root per smoothie serving.
 Oregano: With its powerful antioxidants and minerals —
including magnesium, zinc, potassium, iron, boron, and
manganese — as well as vitamins A and C, oregano is an
important healing herb. Add 1 tablespoon of ﬁnely
chopped fresh leaves (or 2 teaspoons dried) per serving of
smoothie.
 Thyme: I grow and use thyme in cooking because of its
antioxidants. Use 1/2 teaspoon ﬁnely chopped fresh thyme
leaves per smoothie serving. Turmeric: The anti-inﬂammatory properties of turmeric
help alleviate arthritis and joint pain, so add it to juices
after exercising. Turmeric also ﬁghts tumors and is an
antioxidant. Blend 1/2 teaspoon of ground turmeric per
smoothie serving.
 Garlic and ginger are both anticoagulants, which means
that they thin the blood, so they should never be used with
medications like Coumadin. If you’re on blood thinners,
check with your doctor before using herbs for medicinal
purposes.

Hobbs, LAc (Wiley) or The Complete Guide to Medicinal
Herbs, by Penelope Ody (Dorling Kindersley).
N a t u r a l  s u p p l e m e n t s
Although chemical supplements may be convenient and
promise good health, whole, natural foods offer a wide range of
vitamins and minerals that are balanced with phytonutrients
and in a way that complements our own bodies. Try the
following natural supplements in smoothies:
 Bee pollen: Bee pollen is loaded with vitamins, amino
acids, minerals, trace elements, and enzymes. Start by
grinding bee pollen in a blender and then whisk 1 teaspoon
per smoothie serving.
 Propolis: Bees mix a resinous sap from trees with wax and
use it for general hive maintenance; this sap is called
propolis. With its ability to ﬁght infection and itsantimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-ulcer, and antitumor
qualities, propolis is great for humans, too. Add 2
teaspoons per smoothie serving.
 Brewer’s yeast: As a rich source of the B-complex vitamins
and with essential amino acids and minerals including
chromium, brewer’s yeast is a good natural supplement.
Add 1/4 teaspoon of powder or 1/2 teaspoon of ﬂakes per
smoothie serving.
 Dark chocolate: Pure dark chocolate (at least 70 percent
cocoa) contains ﬂavanols and antioxidants that help
prevent clogged arteries and decrease blood pressure.
Pure cocoa is unsweetened and bitter, so one of the
sweeteners will be required to make the drink palatable.
Add 1 tablespoon of pure dark chocolate powder per
smoothie serving. Add a sweetener by the teaspoon until
sweetened to taste.
 Coconut oil: It’s more solid than oil-like, but coconut oil
packs a healthy punch because the fats are antimicrobial,
antibacterial, and antiviral. Spoon 1 tablespoon into the
blender for each smoothie serving.
 Goji berries: Goji berries are a small, dried red fruit from
Asia that is antioxidant and also immune building. Be sure
to get organic berries. The best are from Tibet. Add up to
1/4 cup to smoothie recipes.
 Umeboshi: A paste made from pickled plums, this Asian
health food is valued for its antibacterial and pH balancing
effect. Best of all, it’s used to curb sugar addiction and
cravings. Add 1 teaspoon per smoothie serving.
 Whey protein powder: Protein builds cells, muscle, bones,
neurotransmitters, hormones, and antibodies, and it
assists metabolism, making it helpful to weight loss. Whey
protein does all this and it stimulates the immune system.Choose whey protein isolate over whey protein
concentrate (because it contains less lactose and more
protein) and scoop 2 to 4 tablespoons into the blender for
smoothies.
T i n c t u r e s,  t o n i c  t e a s,  a n d  e l i x i r s
Tinctures are concentrated extractions of the active
components of plants that have been dissolved in alcohol.
Tonics and elixirs are herbal drinks that are made from tonic
herbs and may use tinctures, or they may be simple teas or
even smoothies. It is their effect on the body that makes them
tonic. All offer a convenient way to add the beneﬁts of medicinal
herbs to your daily routine.
The Herbal Home Remedy Book: Simple Recipes for Tinctures,
Teas, Salves, Tonics and Syrups, by Joyce A. Wardwell (Storey
Publishing), offers more information on this topic.
T inctur es
The whole or speciﬁc parts of an herb are immersed in alcohol
to extract their active components. Tinctures are available in
whole-food or health food stores. Some tincture herbs are
astragalus and echinacea for immune boosting; valerian and
hops to calm nerves; dandelion and milk thistle to cleanse; and
ginseng and mint to refresh and stimulate. You can add
tinctures by the drop to juices. Follow guidelines for doses
given by the manufacturer or a qualiﬁed herbalist.
T onic teas
Tonic herbs are considered superior because they strengthen
the body and prevent illness (as opposed to medicinal or
inferior herbs, which treat illness). Tonic herbs such as parsley,
basil, and stinging nettles balance and nourish; ginseng,astragalus, and licorice help the body to adjust

9 Foreword I
The Content of This Book Has To Be Read,
Quickly and Worldwide
The book Virus Mania by Torsten Engelbrecht and Claus Kohnlein presents a
tragic message that will, hopefully, contribut e to the re-insertion of ethical values in
the conduct of virus research, public health policies, media communications, and
activities of the pharmaceutical companies. Obviously, elementary ethical rules have
been, to a very dangerous extent, neglected in many of these fields for an alarming
number of years.
When American journalist Celia Farber courageousl y published, in Harper's
Magazine (March 2006) the article "Out of control-AIDS and the corruption of
medical science," some readers probably attempted to reassure themselves that this
"corruption" was an isolated case. This is very far from the truth as documented so
well in this book by Engelbrecht and Kohnlein. It is only the tip of the iceberg.
Corruption of research is a widespread phenomenon currently found in many major,
supposedly contagious health problems, ranging from AIDS to Hepatitis C, Bovine
spongiform encephalopa thy (BSE or "mad cow disease"), SARS, Avian flu and
current vaccination practices (human papillomavirus or HPV vaccinatio n).
In research on all of these six distinct public health concerns scientific research
on viruses (or prions in the case of BSE) slipped onto the wrong track following
basically the same systematic pathway. This pathway always includes several key
steps: inventing the risk of a disastrous epidemic, incriminating an elusive pathogen,
ignoring alternative toxic causes, manipulating epidemiology with non-verifiable
numbers to maximize the false perception of an imminent catastrophe, and promising
salvation with vaccines. This guarantees large financial returns. But how is it possible
to achieve all of this? Simply by relying on the most powerful activator of human
decision making process, i.e. FEAR!
We are not witnessing viral epidemics; we are witnessing epidemics of fear. And
both the media and the pharmaceutical industry carry most of the responsibility for
amplify ing fears, fears that happen, incident ally, to always ignite fantastically
profitable business. Research hypotheses covering these areas of virus research are
practically never scientificall y verified with appropriate controls. Instead, they are
established by "consensus." This is then rapidly reshaped into a dogma, efficiently
11 Foreword I
perpetuated in a quasi-religious manner by the media, including ensuring that
research funding is restricted to projects supporting the dogma, excluding research
into alternative hypotheses. An important tool to keep dissenting voices out of the
debate is censorship at various levels ranging from the popular media to scientific
publications.
We haven't learnt well from past experiences. There are still many unanswered
questions on the causes of the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic, and on the role of viruses
in post-WWII polio (DDT neurotoxicit y?). These modern epidemics should have
opened our minds to more critical analyses. Pasteur and Koch had constructed an
understanding of infection applicable to several bacterial diseases. But this was
before the first viruses were actually discovered. Transposing the principles of
bacterial infections to viruses was, of course, very tempting but should not have
been done without giving parallel attention to the innumerable risk factors in our
toxic environment; to the toxicity of many drugs, and to some nutritional
deficiencies.
Cancer research had similar problems. The hypothesis that cancer might be
caused by viruses was formulated in 1903, more than one century ago. Even today
it has never been convincingly demonstrated. Most of the experimental laboratory
studies by virus-hunters have been based on the use of inbred mice, inbred implying
a totally unnatural genetic backgrou nd. Were these mice appropriate models for the
study of human cancer? (we are far from being inbred!) True, these mice made
possible the isolation and purification of "RNA tumor viruses," later renamed


 a lunatic had beheaded several
women. My friend went out to locate the victims, but all he found was one
headless body. At that point his reality changed; he’d come to believe in
true evil. That’ s how I felt then, seeing the fiery monster raging, laughing at
us: “I’m loving this, and you guys are screwed.”
Because it was dif ficult to see, I had no idea who was trapped inside the
apartment. Later we discovered it was Fire Captain John Butz. John
belonged to the first-arriving ladder company, which was responsible for
search and rescue. John had entered the apartment with his crew, but as they
had for gotten to bring a fan along to ventilate the room, he’d sent them back
to get it and had gone in alone—even though we’re always supposed to
bring a partner and a char ged hose line (one that holds water at the
appropriate pressure).
Before John had had time to exit the room he was investigating, the
living room next door flashed (anything reaching 1,000 degrees or higher
will burst into flames). If John had been inside, he would have died on the
spot. Instead, the explosion threw him to the ground, where he lay
paralyzed and could only scream for help. The flames and smoke were so
dense that Ax couldn’ t find John until he spotted his flashlight at the end of
the bed. Ax knelt down and asked, “Can you make it to the window?” John
whispered, “I’ll do what I can.”
Ax turned around, trying to orient himself amid the smoke and flames.
At that moment I entered through the window, waving my arms—Ax saw
my silhouette and headed for it. Later he called me his angel.
The distance from the floor to the bottom edge of the window was four
feet, so the two of us began struggling to raise John’ s limp 300 pounds up
and over the sill. (John weighed about 225 pounds, but was also wearing 75
pounds of equipment.)
Meanwhile, the freezing rain was still falling, and the smoke was
impairing our vision. I slipped on the ladder, John’ s helmet fell of f, and we
still couldn’ t pull his limp body past the windowsill.
Finally, we got the front half of his body to dangle over the sill. Ax
yelled, “Do you have him?”
“I got him,” I yelled back, yanking John as best I could out and over the
window so I could lower him. At this point I wasn’ t sure if he was stillalive. I bear -hugged the ladder with my left arm, lowering John until my
right arm was fully extended, and then let him fall. He dropped eighteen
feet to the ground, missing an enormous air -conditioning unit by inches.
Next, I climbed back up the ladder looking for Ax, who, in the
confusion, I mistook for my friend Josh Miller—at this point I was so
befuddled I didn’ t know who was who. But I was not going anywhere
without the other firefighter, and because I was convinced he was inside, I
was about to reenter the room. Then something inside me said, “Look down
and see what’ s on the ground.”
I did, and lying eighteen feet below were both John Butz and Ax. Their
bodies were smoking.
At this point I had no idea how Ax had landed there. I later learned that
he was so hot, and suf fering from such severe injuries, that to save his own
life he had dived over the ladder and fallen to the ground. I had been so
busy wrestling with John’ s body that I didn’ t see him.
I made my way down the ladder to Ax and John. Incredibly, both were
still conscious. Ax had third-degree burns to his calf, hands, and neck. John
was not as lucky; third-degree burns covered close to 70 percent of his
body. People seldom live if more than 65 percent of the body is burned.
Finally, the fire was contained. John was taken by ambulance to
Brackenridge Hospital, then airlifted to Brooks Army Burn Center in San
Antonio, where he spent almost a year in recovery. Shortly afterward, he
was promoted from captain to battalion chief. He is lucky to be alive, and
he knows it.
Although two later sweeps of the apartment revealed no other victims,
the third sweep found a man dead in the bathtub. The shower curtain had
melted over his body, which was barely recognizable as human. The
apartment had been his, and his little hibachi had caused the deadly blaze.
That fire’ s fury spooked me to the core. In the short time all these events
took place, I realized how fleeting our time on earth is. Since that night,
I’ve appreciated the importance of my job, as well as the other firefighters
with whom I work, more than ever before. I never take a single shift for
granted—and after twenty-four hours, when we’re relieved by the next
crew, I heave a sigh of relief knowing that we’ll all go home safely.
That terrible fire also confirmed my belief that we can’ t take anything
for granted—especially our health. Obviously, preventing and staying away
from fire is one way to stay healthy. But the most basic, profound, andpowerful way to take care of your health on a day-to-day basis is to eat a
healthy, plant-based diet. This regimen is the best way to fight the
dangerous fires raging inside us—fires that create all the chronic Western
ailments including heart attack, stroke, cancer, Alzheimer ’s disease, and
diabetes. That’ s why I created the Engine 2 Diet, and why I wrote this book.

MY STORY
All my life I’ve been intrigued by health, performance, and diet. As
long as I can remember a chin-up bar hung on the door of my bedroom,
where I worked out religiously several times a day. In the sixth grade, I set
the school record with twenty-two. At the age of twelve, after watching the
movie Rocky, I immediately came home and downed a glass filled with raw
eggs. At thirteen, my father bought free weights, dumbbells, and a
Universal weight-lifting machine for the family playroom. They were well
worn within a few years.
While in school, athletics were my stage. I set many high school
swimming records (and still hold a national record in the 200-meter medley
relay); I was the top player on my high school tennis team and co-captain of
the water polo team.
As a young athlete, I lived on bacon, steaks, and triple cheesebur gers,
thinking that such a diet was good for me and my performance. But that all
changed in 1986, once I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin
(where I was a three-time All-American swimmer and an Olympic trials
qualifier in the 100- and 200-meter backstroke and freestyle events). Within
six months I was competing as a professional triathlete and fueling my body
with healthy foods that were a far cry from what I had known.
This shift was inspired by my father ’s groundbreaking research on plant-
based diets, about which you will soon be reading, as well as by many great
athletes who relied on a vegetarian diet for optimum performance, including
six-time Hawaii Ironman champion Dave Scott, famed 400-meter hurdler
Edwin Moses, and tennis great Martina Navratilova.As a professional triathlete, I competed around the world in the Olympic
distance triathlon (a 1-mile swim, 24.8-mile bike ride, and 6.2-mile run),
and for many years was ranked as one of the country’ s top ten triathletes—
and for most of that time, the sport’ s preeminent swimmer. Throughout this
period I maintained a plant-strong diet in order to enhance my recovery
between two and three daily workouts, and to give me an edge on race day.
The diet worked: I took first place in many major events, including the
world’ s largest athletic competition, the Police and Fire World Games, in
2001. I’ve also won the Capital of Texas triathlon eight times, and have
been the leader or top-three finisher at many televised events, including the
Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon, where I was first out of the frigid, shark-
infested waters six years in a row.
In 1997, knowing I couldn’ t be a professional athlete forever, I looked
around for something new, and when several triathlete/firefighter friends
suggested I consider firefighting, I listened. They described the job as
twenty-four hours of adrenaline-pumping excitement, with no two shifts
ever the same—a career in which you never had to sit behind a desk or take
paperwork home on weekends. And there was the chance to help people as
well. It was an easy decision.
Fighting fires and racing triathlons are animals of a dif ferent color:
Training for and competing in triathlons is predictable; firefighting is not.
There is no telling when the next alarm will sound and what the nature of
the call will be, from a fire in a Dumpster or a high-rise to a medical call or
an accident. The best way to stay on top of your game is to consistently fuel
your body with clean-burning, artery-scr


rups
immediately.
2.Sterilize all dairy products.
3.Search for lead  and copper  in the water.
4.Stop drinking commercial beverages, including bottled
water.
5.Zap the parasites in the whole family for three days, fol-
lowed by repetitions twice a week.
6.Eliminate Shigellas  with the Bowel Program  (page 546).
7.Give away pets. Schizophrenia is too serious to risk rein-
fection.
8.Do the dental cleanup  (page 409).
The need to zap repeatedly arises from reinfection. Nothing
needs to be killed twice. But reinfection from self, family mem-
bers, pets and food happens every hour. One cannot rely on
zapping to stay well. Do a thorough diagnostic search of all
foods eaten at the last meal, the water drunk, the air breathed.
Only when all these are clean, will the brain heal.
When can you eat grains again? When you are well. Find a
cereal or pasta  that has no mold. Test it for the mold frequencies
(77, 88, 100, 126, 131, 177, 188, 232, 242, 277, 281, 288, 295NON-PAINFUL DISEASES
263KHz). Search especially for ergot  (295). Remember, ergot makes
lysergic acid  diethylamide  (LSD), not a good thing for a
schizophrenic brain. Honeys, too, have ergot. Ergot takes longer
(up to 20 minutes) to detoxify with added vitamin C. (Read the
section on Moldy Food, page 381). If you become ill again after
starting grains, go off again. Take 500 mg. niacinamide  3 times a
day to speed up ergot detoxification by the liver. Avoidance is
much easier.
Healing of the brain is very rapid; in less than one week
feelings and behavior are more normal. Perhaps there are herbs
that hasten healing; considering how old the illness is, there must
surely be several useful herbs. But considering that herbs, too,
can be moldy, be very careful to search for molds electroni cally
before using any herbs. Blue vervain, sage, and ginseng  are herbs
worth trying.
A question may have popped into your mind as well as mine.
If the whole family is eating moldy food, why aren't they all
schizophrenic? In fact, family members usually do suffer from
some symptoms that are similar to the victim. But every person's
collection of parasites and pollutants is unique. Cer tainly, the
whole family should obey the moldy food rules, in order to
function better.
Autism
Childhood brain disorders suggest an inherited genetic de-
fect. Yet numerous parasites and pollutants are able to pass into
the unborn child through the placenta. Even some bacteria and
viruses can.
Lead accumulation is always seen in children with autism.
Was it acquired before birth?
Mercury can be transmitted from mother to child, too. If
mercury fillings were not removed before pregnancy, have themTHE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
264replaced as soon after delivery as possible (never during preg-
nancy  since the removal itself causes a surge of heavy metal to
enter the body).
The common tiny worms such as Ascaris, hookworm,
Strongyloides  and Trichinellas  easily enter the brain. They are
present in dirt. Dirt enters buildings via shoes. Shoes carry ani-
mal filth. Don't let children put their own shoes on until they have
learned to avoid touching the soles. Don't let your child crawl on
the floor of a public building, even though it looks glossy. Don't
set shoes on furniture or table! A preferred habit is to leave
shoes at the door.
Once wormlets have found a pathway to the child's brain it is
difficult to reroute them. They must all be killed repeatedly since
there is daily reinfection from putting hands in mouths. All family
members should kill these parasites weekly to protect the child
with autism. When lead  and parasites are gone consis tently for
several weeks the pathway to the brain heals and rein fection no
longer sends them to the brain and your child can resume a
normal life.
I have not treated enough cases to point to a particular para-
site or pollutant. For this reason you must do a total cleanup:
body, environment, dental, diet (especially solvents and molds).
Leon Dickson, age 10, appeared normal at birth but he crawled and
walked late. At age 3½ he began having seizures and was also
diagnosed with autism. (Seizures are caused by Ascaris  larvae,
they probably began the routing to the brain). He was started on
PhenobarbitalTM by his clinical doctor; switched to DilantinTM then
two other drugs were tried. Now he was on TegretolTM plus Depa-
cote.TM The mother used no anti nausea  medicine during preg-
nancy, no caffeine, no alcohol or nicotine, not even a single
aspirin. In spite of his medicines he seemed to have headaches,
continued to have seizures which disturbed his sleep and he wasn't
trying to talk. He vomited a lot. He would take no pills or drops (no
herbs even mixed with honey) and our frequency generator
method was not discovered at that time. He couldn't kill his para-
sites and Shigellas. His brain was full of thallium  (not mercury!)NON-PAINFUL DISEASES
265besides the roundworm  larvae. He must have gotten this from Q-
tipsTM or cotton balls or some other mercury-sterilized product.
Leon's favorite food was grilled chicken  which he ate nearly every
day, as well as two eggs a day.
His diet was changed to exclude chicken, eggs, bacon, chips,
preservatives and colors in foods, grape jelly and strawberry jam.
One month later he had not improved, nor had they been able to
kill his parasites with the herbal recipe. The diet change was ex-
tremely difficult; he was screaming for his favorite junk food and
the whole family was upset over his restrictions. But we encour-
aged the mother to stick to her purpose, get a different baby-sitter
who would obey her, and to try to get some parasite herbs and
thioctic acid  (100 mg. daily, stirred into honey, to take out lead )
down him. The first week the new baby-sitter succeeded in getting
him to take thioctic acid. He had only one seizure  that week. This
encouraged the mother to enforce the parasite program and the
diet rules. He became attentive in one month and tried to voice
sounds.
The problem with eggs is that they are contaminated with
Salmonellas. I find, however that it is the outside  of the eggshell
and the carton that is contaminated. The safe way to handle eggs
is to remove them and return the carton to the refrigerator, then
wash the eggs and your hands before cracking them. Eggs also
contain malvin, a known seizure  trigger.
Kirk Peeples, age 5, did not have any words yet but he would point to
something and voice M-M-M to mean he wanted it (usually food).
He was in a special school and “doing well.” He had the brain toxin
MSG, and antioxidants BHT  and BHA  accumulated  in him. In other
words, his liver was not able to detoxify these common food
chemicals. At that time, I had not found the mold toxins yet; I would
now surmise that they were responsible for the liver's dis ability.
Besides going off these food additives he was “desensitized” to
them with homeopathic drops by an alternative allergist. The result
was immediate. In one week he tried several new sounds and
managed his first word: “box.” After killing para sites with the herbal
program over a four week time period he could speak 19 words.
The parents were bewildered with joy. They cleaned the toxins out
of their home so thoroughly, thereTHE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
266was no place to sit and nothing familiar to eat. But their son could
say things and the parents loved each new sound as if it came
from a newborn baby. In two months he was saying two-syllable
words and putting phrases together. He needed us no more (he
was on homeopathic thyroid  drops, too).
Geoff Berkely was diagnosed autistic. He went about his business of
examining everything in the office without a word. He was infested
with both species of Ascaris  (there was a pet dog) and was started
on the herbal parasite program: just a little less than the adult
doses. (Children's' syrups are not as effective.) He was toxic with
mercury, too. He had 2 or 3 “baby” root canals. These were to be
pulled out. He was also taken off food color, MSG, chicken  and
eggs. The parents accomplished all this very quickly and called to
say their child had become normal but they didn't want us to
spread the good news to the “autism ” club they attended for fear of
criticism for doing unorthodox things. Only in the USA could such
thinking occur!

By Lisa Anne Leslie CCN

There are a lot of misconceptions about cholesterol and its role in health and disease. Below
is some information about cholesterol that ma y dispel any misinformation you may have.

Important Terms

Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)
LDL carries cholesterol from your tissues into your blood stream.

High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
HDL picks up and transports cholesterol in the blood back to the liver wher e it is eliminated
from your body. HDL can help keep LDL cholesterol from building up in the walls of your
arteries.

Triglycerides
Triglycerides are a form of fat carried through your  bloodstream. Most of your body's fat is in
the form of triglycerides, stored in  fat tissue. Lipoproteins that are rich in triglycerides also
contain cholesterol.

How much and what kind of cholesterol do you need for good health?
Cholesterol is a fat that is absolutely essential to life. It is part of ev ery cell and many of the
hormones in your body.  You need cholesterol to  survive. However, too much and oxidized
LDL cholesterol and too little HDL cholestero l are associated with in creased risk of heart
disease.

Is cholesterol the best indicator of heart disease?
Reducing LDL cholesterol is important BUT choles terol levels are not t he gold standard of for
predicting heart attacks. Why? Reducing choles terol ALONE does not necessarily decrease
risk of heart disease.   ( Studies show there is NO association between high cholesterol and
death from heart disease in people over 70 and nearly 50% of patient s with heart disease
have normal cholesterol levels.)

Studies show your fasting insulin levels are MO RE THAN TWICE as predictive of risk of heart
disease than LDL cholesterol.  ( Journal of American Medical Association 1998 ).

Triglycerides are also more predictive of  risk of heart disease than LDL levels.

Why? High triglyceride levels indicate insulin  resistance or carbohydrate sensitivity.

How do I reduce my risk of heart disease?
Dr Cass Ingram, in his popular book, Eat Right to Live Long  (published by Literary Visions
Publishing Inc 1994) lists as the top six causes of high cholesterol as being: excess dietary
sugar; excess dietary starch ; excess hydrogenated and processed fats; liver dysfunction;
amino acid (protein) deficiency; and essential fatty acid deficiency.

Avoiding foods containing unhealthy fat and choleste rol is important for optimal health (see
foods to avoid list). However, 80%  of your daily cholesterol is produced in your body (liver), it
does not come from your diet. So you also need to control the production of cholesterol in
your liver.

How do you do that?  An ENZYME  (HMG CoA) controls the produc tion of cholesterol in your
liver. The hormones GLUCAGON AND INSULIN control the release of this enzyme.
GLUCAGON  inhibits the enzyme, and INSULIN  activates the enzyme. So a major KEY TO
CONTROLLING CHOLESTEROL PRODUCTION  is to increase glucagon, and decrease
insulin. This is exactly what common statin drugs do – inhibit the production of LDL by
regulating the HMG CoA enzyme. You can achieve the same results as these harmful drugs,
through balanced nutrition, wit hout the side effects!

How do you lower insulin and increase glucagon through nutrition?
The key is to eat in a manner that keeps your blood sugar stable. In keeping your blood sugar
stable, you control the excess release of insulin.

Excess insulin is secreted every time you “ove r-carb.” Whenever you eat sugar or processed
carbohydrates, or simply too many carbohydrat es for your body, (because all carbohydrates
break down into blood sugar called glucose) you will have excess glucose in your blood
stream, causing your blood sugar to spike. In tu rn, your pancreas secretes insulin. Insulin is
your body’s most powerful storage hormone. Insulin  totally blocks your body’s ability to burn
fat, converts all the excess blood sugar into trigl ycerides (blood fats), and stores these fats in
your fat cells.

Glucagon is released every time you eat lean pr otein. Glucagon when present in your blood
steam also lowers insulin levels. So it is important to eat lean pr otein every single meal.

Most patients are told by their doctors to control their fat intake in order to reduce their LDL
cholesterol and are advised to eat a high car bohydrate low fat diet. Lowering unhealthy fat
intake decreases LDL levels. BUT increasing carbohydrate content  causes HDL (good
cholesterol) to drop and triglycerides and to tal cholesterol to increase, which means
increased risk of heart disease.

To control the balance of glucagon and insulin, you should follow the energyfirst nutrition
guidelines, eating a healthy balance of lean protei n, good fats/oils (containing essential fats
omega 3 and 6), and unprocessed carbohydrates at each meal, eliminating processed
carbohydrates, and never eating carbohydrates alone, always co mbining carbohydrates with
lean protein and/or good fats/oils. This slows t he gastric emptying of the carbohydrates,
preventing a blood sugar spike and controlling the release of insulin. In addition to these
guidelines, you need to exercise regularly and take a basic s upplementation program. When
you follow this lifestyle, you will find your choleste rol levels may return to healthy levels within
60-90 days, without ever having to  touch a prescription drug!.

by W alter Last
Flower Remedies
Flower remedies represent a combination of herbalism and homeopathy. Their main therapeutic effects are on the emotional level.
Best known are the Bach ﬂower remedies, originated by Dr Edward Bach, an English physician. In recent times, Australian wildﬂower
remedies and Californian ﬂower essences have also become available. These are sold mainly in health food shops and by various
practitioners.
Flower remedies are best used together with appropriate afﬁrmations. In clinical situations it is recommended to use a standard
questionnaire for emotional to allow a more speedy and accurate selection of the appropriate remedies. This information may then
also be used for other emotion-direc ted therapies. Of special signiﬁcance is the Bach Rescue Remedy, which should be part of every
ﬁrst aid kit. Individual ﬂower remedies may be combined for treatment according to symptoms. In selecting Bach ﬂower remedies, it is
recommended to combine no more than six different remedies. However, the Composite Rescue Remedy may be counted as a
single remedy.
The usual dosage is two to four drops of the composite preparation in a teaspoonful of water at least four times daily, before meals
and especially ﬁrst and last thing daily. Hold this in the mouth and under the tongue for some time. Store remedies in a cool place.
In some cases, ﬂower remedies may be taken for long periods for the treatment of chronic illnesses, while those for acute (short-
term) problems are used only when  the problem is noticed. These short-term remedies may be changed frequently according to
changing moods.
Following is a quick-reference guide for the selection of Bach ﬂower remedies.
Agrimony - suffering or worry hidden by smiling face
Aspen - apprehension, vague fears of unknown origin
Beech - intolerance, arrogance, tendency to be overcritical
Centaury - susceptibility to inﬂuence and exploitation, weak willed, timidity
Cerato - lack of conﬁdence, doubt, constant requests for advice
Cherry plum - uncontrolled temper, desperation, fear of loss of mind
Chestnut bud - slow to learn, lack of observation, repetition of mistakes
Chicory - possessiveness, self-love, self-pity, attention seeking
Clematis - indifference, dreaminess, lack of interest
Crab apple - feeling of being unclean, shame, self-dislike; the cleanser
Elm - occasional feelings of inadequacy, too much responsibility
Gentian  - discouragement, self-doubt, negative attitudes, depression
Gorse  - hopelessness, despair, despondency
Heather  - self-centeredness, love of talking, inability to listen
Holly  - envy, suspicion, revenge, hatred, jealousy
Honeysuckle  - living too much in the past, homesickness
Hornbeam  - mental and physical weariness
Impatiens  - impatience, irritability, mental tension

 the circumstances, this was the least of her
problems—she added, “Life’s not worth living if you can’t enjoy it,
and smoking is what I enjoy.”
Something snapped in me that is not supposed to snap when a
doctor talks to a seriously ill patient. “You enjoy not tasting your
food?” I asked, “not being able to smell the owers anymore, having
a const ant reek on your breath, half-numbed ngertips, and blood
pressure climbing so high that it is potentially as dangerous as
cancer?” As soon as my outburst ended I felt ashamed, but I was
deeply frustrated at the same time. How do people “enjoy” things
that they know perfectly well are bad for them?
On the verge of tears, she had an answer: “Don’t dictate to me. I
know what I like.” She was throwing her self, her indisputable right
to be “I,” in my face. Just the way she leaned on the word “I” made
me cringe—it was like an appeal to a court of last resort. This lost
self had suered so much, had made such bad mistakes, and was
going to enter into an inesca pably grim future. Yet what else could
she cling to? “I” was her anchor to reality, and no one willingly
surrenders that, unless he is so desperate that his mind must unmoor
itself and undertake what Freud called “the perilous journey of
psychosis.”
The self has a troubling way of acting against its own interests, of
twisting good into bad and bad into good. It seems to be human
nature for the mind to divide itself into one region that is conscious
and another that is uncons cious, to subdivide both regions into
many smaller layers, and nally to create thousands of
compartments within each layer. Like an ambitious king who builds
his palace too fast to actually enter each room, our minds have lost
track of their own labyrinths, secret chambers, and ghost-lled
attics.
Certain compartments, moreover, hold things that are clearly too
painful to express or even confront. We seal them o in order to
avoid conicts  that would be unbearable. Like a baby smothered inswaddling clothes, our perce ption of reality gets covered by layers
of experience, until “I” becomes quite confused about who “me”
really is.
No Light Without the Eye
Up to this point I have done everything I can to make perception
seem highly personal, changeable, illusory, arbitrary, and
untrustworthy. To a research er in the eld, this is a stran ge stance,
for the overwhelming trend in recent years has been to “explain”
perception in terms of the senses, to make it much less psychological
and much more mechanical. Thus, for the sense of sight we learn
that a human eye has about 125 million rods and 7 million cones
implanted on the surface of the retina. Rods are responsible for
night vision, cones for day vision. No one knows why we have
nearly twenty times more receptors for moonlight than for sunlight,
but that is the case.
These specializ ed receptors are direct extensions of the brain, and
each reacts to only a narrow wavelength of light. When a photon
strikes a retinal cell, it creates a chemical change that in turn sparks
an electrical spike that is sent to the visual cortex in the back of the
head via the optic nerve, a bundle of 800,000 neural bers wrapped
into a single cable. During the early stages of visual processing, the
brain keeps the images from each eye separate; only at the very end
are they merged to create a three-dimensional object. Even then,
there is no picture of the world in your brain. The image of a tree,
for example, is decoded purely into electrical data. However, the
visual cortex is denitely a map that marks certain aspects of the
tree. The parts of the visual image that run from top to bottom and
left to right are registered by brain cells that also are arranged top
to bottom and left to right.
The mechanics of eyesight are so well understood by now that
they can be imitated articially: robot eyes have been developed
that can detect light and send it to be stored and decoded by a
computer. In some cases, robot vision is sophisticated enough to
interpret color, texture, and shape, follow moving objects, anddistinguish near-far perspective much as our own eyes do. The only
problem with this impressive cracking of the visual code is that the
experience  of seeing has been entirely missed. Robot eyes are never
bored by what  they look at, or enthralled by beauty. They do not
prefer crimson  to scarlet, or vice versa. They do not relish the
softness of the shadows in Titian’s paintings or the stark melodrama
in Caravaggio’s. None of the qualities of light that really matter, in a
human, personal sense, can be translated into mechanical terms.
The mother of a friend of mine has grown old, and as sometimes
happens, she is becoming bald. The wispy blue hair on top of her
head distresses  this once-beautiful woman, and when she was nearly
eighty, she nally resigned herself to wearing a wig. My friend
wanted to cheer his mother up, so he invited her to a party where
many distinguished guests would be present. The company was
sparkling, and his mother seemed greatly impressed.
“Weren’t those people fascinating?” he asked afterward.
“Remarkable,” she murmured, “and did you see how much hair
they had?”
All of us see the world just this subjectively. When we walk into a
room, we see what is important to us, screening out what is
indierent. We also see much that is invisible—that person over
there is an old lover, another  a renowned bore; that vase is worth a
fortune (where did they get the money?), that painting looks like a
fake. A map of the brain’s visual cortex can never tell you the rst
thing about the subtle connot ations that light reveals to the eye, just
as the diagram  of a piano can tell you nothing about how music
enchants the ear.
The only reason a robot eye can even pretend to “see” is that it
was built by humans. Every part was designed to approximate what
a person knows to look for. If we could not see backg rounds as
dierent from foregrounds, for example, no robot eye would be built
to sense such a distinction, and no software would take it into
account. Even if a robot eye could perfectly duplicate a human eye,
including the visual cortex, it would still be blind. The light lling
the world is my light.This truth struck home while I was reading The Magic Lantern, the
autobiography of the great Swedish lm director Ingmar Bergman.
Bergman gave up lmmaking before he was seventy years old, a
situation he has made peace with, despite many moments  of intense
regret. “Most of all,” he says, “I miss working with Sven Nyquist [his
longtime cameraman], perhaps because we are both utterly
captivated by the problems of light, the gentle, dangerous,
dreamlike, living, dead, clear, misty, hot, violent, bare, sudden,
dark, springlike, falling, straight, slanting, sensual, subdued, limited,
poisonous, calming, pale light. Light.”
Following the curve of this singing, elegiac sentence, I can see all
those qualities in light as well. All of us can, because without us,
light would not have them. It would have no brightness, no color,
no tone whatsoever. Without my eye (or yours), there is nothing to
see, not even blackness. Photons would bounce randomly,
unintelligibly through the void, never dening anyth ing, never
becoming light. In interstellar space, light is invisible; when it
strikes an object, it bounces back on a new track, but it does not
become any more visible. The sun is not radiant, nor the stars. At
best, they would be “hot spots” of energy emission, but even that
term depends on our sense of temperature.
By itself, nothing “out there” has any denition without a
perceiver. When scientists claim to have deciphered the mechanics
of vision, all they have done is found a map, which must not be
mistaken for reality. A map of Tahiti is meaningless until you realize
that it is supposed to match a certain island whose mountains,
coasts, and rivers have been experienced by humans. We do not put
on the map the air currents or prime nesting sites that would be
noticed by birds, even though these belong to the real Tahiti as
much as the features we look for.
The map is not the territory. Everyone has seen photographs of
what the world  looks like through the multiple eye of a bee, spider,
or y. Each of these insects sees through more than one lens, and
the photographs therefore present a cluster of eight or ten or twenty
images, generally of a ower, and we are to suppose that the insect
brain sees the ower that way.These composites, however, do


 to maintain the health and function  of
the cardiovascular -pulmonary system. If your resting pulse is 70, you must walk, jog, ski, bike, swim or what have you, fast
enough to keep the pulse at 140 beats per minute for at least 30 minutes.
    I have a strong preference to exercising outside in isolated places where there is only me and the forest, or only me and the  river.
Running along logging roads in the hilly back c ountry, or swimming in the green unpolluted water of a forest river is a spiritual
experience for me. It is a time to meditate, to commune with nature, and to clear my mind and create new solutions. The repet itive
action of running or walking or swimming, along with the regular deep breathing in clean air, with no distractions except what
nature provides is truly health promoting. Sharing these activities with friends or family can also be great fun and some of the best
in social interactions. It is one of my favorite ways of visiting with people. I don't expect other people to be as enthusiastic about
exercise as I am, but I do hope that everyone will make an effort to be minimally fit as an ongoing part of their health prog ram into
old age.

Diet For A Lon g, Long Life
    Some people not only want to be healthy, but they want to live in good health long past the normal life span projected by
statistical tables for Homo Sapiens. Dr. Roy Walford, a well -respected medical research gerontologist who has been ac tively
studying longevity for many years, is one of those. He has scientifically demonstrated with accepted studies that a qualitati ve life
span up to at least 115 years of age is reasonably attainable by the average person if they start working on it no l ater than about 50
years of age, though earlier is much better.
    Walford's principles of extending life are very simple. All you have to do is restrict your caloric intake to about 1,500 per  day,
and water fast two days a week. Or alternatively, reduce your caloric intake to 1,200 per day and fast only one day a week on
water. And make sure that every single bit of food you do eat is packed with nutrition, every single calorie, without excepti on. You
continue this program for the rest of your life along with moderate daily exercise and high but reasonable dosages of vitamins,
minerals, and also take a few exotic food supplements. The supplement program is not particularly expensive nor extreme,
Walford's supplement program is more moderate than the life e xtension program I recommend for all middle -aged and older
people. The best foods for this type of program is a largely raw food diet (80%) with a predominance of sprouts and baby gree ns,
some cooked vegetables, and raw nuts and seeds. And make sure you ge t 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise every other day.
    While Dr. Walford's focus is on caloric reduction while maintaining sufficient nutrition, most other life extensionists focus  on
increasing the nutrition side of the equation for health without b othering to reduce caloric intake. This approach is much easier
because essentially, it involves gobbling nutritional supplements by the handfuls without requiring self -discipline, though it can get
quite expensive. I'll have more to say about this approac h in the next chapter, which is about vitamins.
In this book I can't explain all the aspects of prolongation of life through conscious life -style choice. Those who are interested are
referred to the Bibliography.

Chapter Six
Vitamins and Other Food Supplements

From The Hygienic Dictionary

Vitamins. [1] The staple foods may not contain the same nutritive substances as in former times.... Chemical fertilizers, by
increasing the abundance of the crops without replacing all the exhausted elements o f the soil, may have indirectly contributed to
change the nutritive value of cereal grains and of vegetables.... Hygienists have not paid sufficient attention to the gen esis of
diseases. Their studies of conditions of life and diet, and of their effects  on the physiological and mental state of modern man are
superficial, incomplete, and of too short duration. They have, thus, contributed to the weakening of our body and our soul. A lexis
Carrel, Man the Unknown.

    I have already explained the hygienis t's view of why people get sick. The sequence of causation goes: enervation, toxemia,
alternative elimination, disease. However, there is one more link in this chain, a precursor to enervation that, for good and
understandable reasons, seemed unknown to th e earlier hygienists. That precursor is long term sub -clinical malnutrition. Lack of
nutrition effects virtually everybody today. Almost all of us are overfed but undernourished.
    I have already explained that one particular head of broccoli does not ne cessarily equal another head of broccoli; the nutritional
composition of apparently identical foods can be highly variable. Not only do different samples of the same type of food diff er
wildly in protein content, amino acid ratios and mineral content, thei r vitamin and vitamin -like substances also vary according to
soil fertility and the variety grown.
    These days, food crop varieties are bred for yield and other commercial considerations, such as shipability, storage life, an d ease
of processing. In pr e-industrial times when each family propagated its own unique open -pollinated varieties, a natural selection
process for healthy outcomes prevailed. If the family's particular, unique varieties carried genes for highly nutritious food, and if
the family's land was fertile enough to allow those genes to manifest, and if the family kept up its land's fertility by wise
management, their children tended to survive the gauntlet of childhood illness and lived to propagate the family's varieties and
continue the f amily name. Thus, over time, human food cultivars were selected for their nutritional content.
    But not any longer! These days, farming technology with its focus on bulk yield and profit, degrades the nutritional content of
our entire food supply. Even  commercial organically grown food is no better in this respect.
    Sub-clinical, life -long, vitamin and mineral deficiencies contribute to the onset of disease; the malnourished body becomes
increasingly enervated, beginning the process of disease. Vitam in supplements can increase the body's vital force, reversing to a
degree the natural tendency towards degeneration. In fact, some medical gerontologists theorize that by using vitamins it mig ht be
possible to restore human life span to its genetically pro grammed 115 years without doing anything else about increasing nutrition
from our degraded foods or paying much attention to dietary indiscretions. Knowing what I do about toxemia's effects I doubt
vitamins can allow us to totally ignore what we eat, thoug h supplements can certainly help.
    More than degraded nutritional content of food prompts a thinking person to use food supplements. Our bodies and spirits are
constantly assaulted and insulted by modern life in ways our genetics never intended us to de al with. Today the entire environment
is mildly toxic. Air is polluted; water is polluted; our food supply contains traces of highly poisonous artificial molecules  that our
bodies have no natural ability to process and eliminate. Our cities and work places  are full of loud, shocking noises that trigger
frequent adrenaline rushes and other stress adaptations. Our work places are full of psychological stresses that humans never  had to
deal with before.
    Historically, humans who were not enslaved have been  in control of determining their own hour to hour, day to day activities,
living on their own largely self -sufficient farms. The idea of working for another, at regular hours, without personal liberty,
ignoring or suppressing one's own agenda and inclinati ons over an entire lifetime is quite new and not at all healthy. It takes
continual subconscious applications of mental and psychic energies to protect ourselves against the stresses of modern life,
energies that we don't know we're expending. This is also  highly enervating. Thus to remain healthy we may need nutrition at
levels far higher than might be possible through eating food; even ideal food might not contain enough vitamins to sustain us
against the strains and stresses of this century.
    And thin k about Dr. Pottenger's cats. Our bodies are at the poorer end of a century -long process of mass degeneration that
started with white flour from the roller mill. Compared to my older clients I have noticed that my younger patients seem to p ossess
less vita l force on the average, show evidence of poorer skeletal development, have poorer teeth, less energy, have far more
difficulty breeding and coping with their family life, and are far more likely to develop degenerative conditions early. Most  of my
younger patients had a poor start because they were raised on highly refined, devitalized, deficient foods, and grew up without
much exercise. Their parents had somewhat better food. Some of their grandparents may have even grown up on raw milk and a
vegetable gar den, and actually had to walk, not owning cars when they were young. Their great grandparents had a high likelihood
of enjoying decent nutrition and a healthful life -style.
    Unfortunately, most of my patients like the idea of taking vitamins too much for their own good. The AMA medical model has
conditioned people to swallow something for every little discomfort, and taking a pill is also by far


shortchanged in the love dimension are a part of your life, then it’ s because
you’ve aligned your thoughts and behaviors with lovelessness. How do you
do that? By failing to match your desire for love with thoughts that
harmonize with this powerful de sire—for example: I’ve never been able to
sustain a loving r elationship. I’m not r eally attractive enough to have
someone love me in the way I want to be loved. People ar e cru el and take
advantage of me. I see hostility and anger everywher e. This is a n uncaring
world with a shortage of love.
All of these thoughts (and others like them) create a point of attraction
that’ s wa y out of balance with a desire to receive abundant love. Y ou attract
into yo ur life precisely what you’re thinking about, and you’ve
inadvertently jo ined “Club Loveless” with a membership that includes a
majority of the entire populatio n—that is, people who feel sh ortchanged
about the amount of love that’ s failing to pour into their empty hearts. All of
this is reversible  by shifting your alignment and removing the resistance to
the fulfillment of your desire fo r love. Y ou begin by ending your search for
love.
No More SearchingSo what does the poet mean by “those that go searching for love only
make m anifest their own lovelessness”? W ell, when you seek something,
you feel that what you’re strivin g for is missing from your life. If it’ s love,
for example, then what you’re really saying is: I’m experiencing
lovelessness, and  in my seeking I hope to fill this void.  But the problem with
this appr oach is that rather than filling the love void, it only puts  you further
out of balance, and lovelessnes s continues to be your experience. Why?
Because you’re  weighted more in lovelessness than in lovingness. Y our
thoughts are focused on finding what’ s missing, while your desire is for
love to flow into your life.
This kind of mi salignment continues to attract more of what’ s missing.
What yo u’re thinking about is the love that’ s not there. The Universe
cooperates by matching up vibrationally with precisely what you’re
thinking about. How does the Universe know to do this? W ell, it’ s merely
matching its vibration to your thoughts through the Law of Attraction.
Y ou nee d to turn of f the search lights and dismiss the search p arty, and
instead replace them with an  ener gy of loving thoughts—an internal
knowing about receiving love. Y ou originated from a place of Spirit that’ s
defined by love. When you begin rebalancing your life so that your desire,
and the way you think and beh ave, are a loving partnership, y ou’ll realize
that your desire is really God-realization.
The longing for love is a longing to become more like God  in your
thoughts. W ith this awareness, you soon realize that searching  outside of
yourself for what you already ar e is the ultimate folly. No one e lse can give
this to you—as D. H. Lawrence says, “the loveless never find lo ve.” This is
because the loveless are focused  on not having  what they desir e, rather than
on what they already are.
Furthermore, the loveless believe that they’re unworthy of the love they
desire, a nd guess what? They continue to attract more evidence of their
unworthiness. W ith the searchli ghts turned of f, and the one-person search
party giv en a permanent rest, you can turn your attention to ba lancing the
authentic means at your disposal for receiving abundant love. T his, then, is
the irony, summed up perfectl y in the poet’ s conclusion that “only the
loving find love, and they never have to seek for it.”Becoming the Love
As the title of t his chapter suggests, my definition of love goe s beyond
the adm ittedly delicious lust and excitement that you experience when you
first become infatuated. Ultimat ely these inflamed passions fade away, and
what rem ains is authentic love, o r the balance you’re seeking. A nd what is a
prime example of this? It is to l ove as God does—to extend the  caring that
defines your very creation outward, whenever and wherever possible.
Love of this na ture leads you to for get about your own ego, and want
what you desire for yourself even more for another. This is how the act of
creation seems to work. Y our Creator doesn’ t ask anything f rom you in
exchange for giving you life— it’ s given freely and abundantly, and no one
is excluded. Y ou don’ t have to repay God for giving you this li fe or the air
you nee d in order to live or the water you drink for your very existence or
the s un t hat sust ains you. W ithout any of those freely given ingr edients, you
wouldn’ t continue to live. This is the love that God of fers you.
T o bala nce your life with more lovingness, you need to match your
thoughts and behaviors with th ose of your Source, being love  in the way
that God  is. This means noticing when you’re inclined to judge yourself or
others as  though  you or they are unworthy of love. This means suspending
your nee d to be right in favor of  being kind toward yourself and  others, and
deliberately extending kindness everywhere. This means giving love to
yourself and others rather than demanding love. This means your loving
gesture o f kindness is heartfelt because you feel love flowing from within—
not because you want something in return. A tall order? Not really, unless
you believe that it’ s going to be dif ficult.
Lovingness is a feature of your  natural state, and your ego isn’ t part of
that stat e. Ego dominates because you’ve separated yourself  from your
God-self, the loving self that came here from a place of perfe ctly Divine
unconditional love. Y ou’ve c arried this ego idea of your own self-
importance, you r need to be right, for so long that you’ve delud ed yourself
into believing that the ego-self is who you are. T alk about b eing out of
balance—you’ve opted for a belief in pure illusion! By al lowing thisillusion to be the dominant f orce, you’ve created, through your ego-
centered self, a heavy imbalance in your life.
The result is that you want to feel love—the real thing, the love that is the
very ess ence of your being, the love that you are—but you fee l emptiness
instead o f lovin gness. Why is t his so? Because the emptiness can only be
filled with love by opening you r heart connection to the spirit of love that
originates you know not where,  but can be felt within you. It’ s your  empty
space; no one else’ s. Therefore, only you  can fill it. Y our objective is to ask
love within you to make its pres ence known, to have an awareness of being
so full of love that this is what you have to give away. That’ s all you have to
do—ask and receive. By doing just that, you’ll attract more of what you’re
giving away.
You Can Only Give Away What You Have Inside
The rest oration of this imbalance is dependent upon your willingness to
reconnect to your Source of being and become an instrument of love. Y ou
must vo w, from this moment forward, to see yourself exclusive ly in loving
terms, a nd to invite love to acc ompany you 24/7. Here’ s an af firmation to
help keep you on this path: Holy Spirit, guide me now.  This simple,
powerful statement aligns you with love. Self-contempt or self-rejection
cannot d istort y our balance; you only have love to give away. When you
give con tempt or rejection to yourself or others, you’re a vibrational match
to these ener gies, and they’ll continue to appear in your life.
Many pe ople bl ame others (or a n unloving, uncaring world) for the lack
of love they’re receiving in comparison to what they desire. Any disparity
that exis ts between the love you  desire and what you actually receive is a
mirror im age, a reflection of what you’re thinking. Give away hate, and you
receive hate; give away love, and it has to come streaming into your life.
Imagine a container the size of your heart. This container is the sole
source of all thoughts. Whenever you think something, you must go to this
container, selec t a thought, an d send it out into the world. Using thismetaphor, the real issue isn’ t  about simply selecting positive, loving
thoughts and having your world shift back into balance. The real issue is
what’ s in the container—that is, what’ s in the heart reservoi r you have
inside of you to  give to others. This container within is connected to an
endless supply of love; you need only turn your thoughts to that Source to
be filled with lo ve: love for
