frequently, for 2 minutes or until onion and garlic are soft but not browned. 4. Add tomatoes, lemon juice, brown sugar, nutmeg and salt. Bring to a boil
and boil  gently for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Sauce should  be slightly
thick. 5. D rain beans and add to the pa n. Cover and simmer gently fo r 4 minutes,
turning beans with tongs to heat them evenly. 6. Using  tongs, lift beans out of sauce and fill hot jars, shaking the jar to
pack fai rly tight ly. Pour hot tom ato sauce over beans, leaving a  1-inch (2.5
cm) hea dspace. Run a thin non- metallic utensil around the inside of the jar
to allow air to escape. W ipe sealing edge of jars with a clean, damp, lint-
free clot h. Posit ion flat lids ov er the tops of jars and hand-tighten screw

instructions), lock lid and bring to a boil over medium-high  heat. V ent
steam for 10 minutes (check manufacturer ’ s instructions), then close vent. Continue heatin g to achieve 10 lb (69 kPa) pressure and maintain pressure
to process pint ( 2-cup/500 mL) jars for 20 minutes and quart (1 L) jars for
25 minutes. These times and pressure are based on using a weighted gauge
pressure canner  at an altitude of 1,000 feet (305 m) or less. Check your
altitude and manufacturer ’ s instructions for variations. 8. C ool, Label and Store: T urn of f heat; let pressure return to zero naturally. Once ga uge sho ws 0 pressure, wait 2 minutes then open the v ent. Unlock
and remove canner lid. W ait 10 minutes then lift jars from canner and place
on a clean towel  or rack. Do not re-tighten screw bands. Let the  jars cool to
room tem perature. This may take from 12 to 24 hours. Remove and store
screw bands. Check lid seals ( Pressure Canner Method ). W ipe and label
sealed jars. Store in a cool, dark place. Use: Heat and e at French Beans in T omato Sauce—they are divine. Y ou
can add them to stew or soup, and they are also a very nice side dish for

V ersatile, colourful and nutritiou s, these beans add “snap” to winter meals
and salads. Y ou can pack them i nto the jars whole, in long strips or cut into
1-inch ( 2.5 cm) pieces. The pieces ar e used in Thr ee-Bean Salad, and the
whole be ans ar e used in Niçoise Salad  w ith tuna, spina ch and potatoes, so I
usually try to make up a batch each of cut and whole dilled beans. MAKES ABOUT 12 CUPS (3 L)

Ar ound the time that the fr esh beans ar e dangling in the sunlight, everything
is bu rsting with summer activity. School is out and cottages ar e open; boats
ar e on the wat er; and ther e is a general air of r elaxed and peaceful
enjoyment. T o me, beans ar e the  icon of summer vegetables. Bl anched just
until ten der -crisp and tossed with the goodness the gar den has to offer, their
sweet flavour defines all that is best about summer food. Beans ar e the prince of the gar den, and I have included thr ee  r ecipes for
using th em. The  first is a very simple version of the now famous thr ee-bean
salad. W ith Dilled Beans  i n your pantry, this salad is a ye ar -r ound r eminder
of the salad days of summer. The second bean salad is one of my
“expandable” salads: it can be the inspiration for any number of fr esh
ingr edient comb inations thr oughout the year. The last bean salad in this
medley is my pe rsonal favourite: Niçoise. Again, we see flexibi lity with the
choice of fr esh, fr ozen or canned tuna for this Mediterranean specialty.d i l l e d  t h r e e - b e a n  s a l a d
While ther e ar e so many variations of this nutrient-dense salad, I still
wanted t o add my own, rather simple r ecipe her e. I always make this salad
at least once during picnic and barbecue season because it travels well
(with no  mayon naise) and is so  delicious with grilled foods. Y ou can add
chopped olives, nuts, grilled vegetables like asparagus, eggplant or
artichokes, and r ed and gr een b ell peppers. In fact, it is the ki nd of salad
that you  can make your own, de pending on the various ingr edients you add
to it. I sometimes include sliced fennel or chopped garlic scapes, but mostly
I e njoy the follo wing simple combination, which celebrates the flavours of
the genus  Phaseolus. Serve it on a bed of shr edded lettuce, baby gr eens or
finely chopped cabbage in the winter. MAKES 6 T O 8 SER VINGS

. • Worry can bring ulcers, hypertension, cramps, tension head-
aches, backaches and the like. While these may not seem to be pay-
offs, they do result in considerable attention from others and justify
much self-pity as well, and some people would rather be pitied than
fulfilled. Now that you understand the psychological support system for
your worry, you can begin to devise some strategic efforts for getting
rid of the troublesome worry bugs that breed in this erroneous zone. Some Strategies for Eliminating Worry
• Begin to view your present moments as times to live, rather than
to obsess about the future. When you catch yourself worry-THE USELESS EMOTIONS—GUILT AND WORRY  / 113ing, ask yourself, “What am I avoiding now by using up this moment
with worry?” Then begin to attack whatever it is you’re avoiding. The best antidote to worry is action. A client of mine, formerly prone
to worry, told me of a recent triumph over it. At a vacation resort
he wandered into the sauna one afternoon. There he met a man who
couldn’t take a holiday from his worries. The other man elaborated
all of the things my client should be worrying about. He mentioned
the stock market, but said not to worry about short-range fluctu-
ations. In six months there would be a virtual collapse, and that was
the thing to really worry about. My client made sure of all the things
he should worry about, and then left. He played a one-hour game
of tennis, enjoyed a touch football game with some young children,
participated with his wife in a Ping-Pong match which they thor-
oughly enjoyed, and finally, some three hours later, returned for a
shower/sauna. His new friend was still there worrying, and began
once again to chronicle more things to worry about. Meantime, my
client had spent his present moments excitedly alive, while the other
man had consumed his in worry. And neither man’s behavior had
any effect on the stock market. • Recognize the preposterousness of worry. Ask yourself over
and over, “Is there anything that will ever change as a result of my
worrying about it?”
• Give yourself shorter and shorter periods of “worry-time.”
Designate ten minutes in the morning and afternoon as your worry
segments. Use these periods to fret about every potential disaster
you can get into the time slot. Then, using your ability to control
your own thoughts, postpone any further worry until your next
designated “worry-time.” You’ll soon see the folly of using any time
in this wasteful fashion, and will eventually eliminate your worry
zone completely. • Make a worry list of everything you worried about yesterday,
last week and even last year. See if any of your worry did anything
productive for you. Assess also how many of the114 / Your Erroneous Zonesthings you worried about ever materialized at all. You’ll soon see
that the worry is really a doubly wasteful activity. It does nothing
to alter the future. And the projected catastrophe often turns out to
be minor, or even a blessing when it arrives. • Just Worry! See if it is something that you can demonstrate when
you are tempted to worry. That is, stop and turn to someone and
say, “Watch me—I’m about to worry.” They’ll be confounded since
you probably won’t even know how to demonstrate the thing you
do so well, so often. • Ask yourself this worry-eradicating question. “What’s the worst
thing that could happen to me (or them) and what is the likelihood
of it occurring?” You’ll discover the absurdity of worry in this way. • Deliberately choose to act in some manner that is in direct con-
flict with your usual areas of worry. If you compulsively save for
the future, always worried about having enough money for another
day, begin to use your money today. Be like the rich uncle who put
in his will, “Being of sound mind, I spent all my money while I was
alive.”
• Begin to face the fears you possess with productive thought and
behavior. A friend of mine recently spent a week on an island off
the coast of Connecticut. The woman enjoys taking long walks, and
soon discovered that the island was populated by many dogs who
were allowed to run wild. She decided to fight her fear and worry
that they might somehow bite her or even tear her limb from
limb—the ultimate calamity. She carried a rock in her hand (insur-
ance) and decided to show no sign of fear as the dogs approached. She even refused to slow down when the dogs growled and came
running toward her. As the dogs charged forward and encountered
someone who refused to back down, they gave up and ran away. While I am not advocating dangerous behavior, I do believe that an
effective challenge to a fear or worry is the most productive way to
eradicate it from your life.THE USELESS EMOTIONS—GUILT AND WORRY  / 115These are some techniques for eliminating worry in your life. But
the most effective weapon you have for wiping out worry is your
own determination to banish this neurotic behavior from your life. Final Thoughts on Worry and Guilt
The present moment is the key to understanding your guilt and
worry activities. Learn to live now and not waste your current mo-
ments in immobilizing thoughts about the past or future. There is
no other moment to live but now, and all of your futile guilt and
worry are done in the elusive now. Lewis Carroll in Alice Through the Looking Glass  talked about living
in the present. “The rule is, jam tomorrow, and jam yesterday…but never jam
today.”
“It must come sometimes to ‘jam-today,’ ” Alice objected. How about you? Any jam today? Since it must come sometime,
how about now?116 / Your Erroneous ZonesVI
EXPLORING THE
UNKNOWN
Only the insecure strive for security. You may be a safety expert—an individual who shuns the un-
known in favor of always knowing where he is going, and what he
can expect when he gets there. Early training in our society tends to
encourage caution at the expense of curiosity, safety at the expense
of adventure. Avoid the questionable, stay in areas that you know,
never wander into the unknown. These early messages can become
a psychological barrier that prevents your own personal fulfillment
and present-moment happiness in countless ways. Albert Einstein, a man who devoted his life to exploring the un-
known, said in an article entitled “What I Believe” in Forum  (October
1930),
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the true source of all art and science. 117He might also have said it is the source of all growth and excite-
ment as well. But too many people equate the unknown with danger. The pur-
pose of life, they think, is to deal with certainty, and to always know
where they are headed. Only the foolhardy risk exploring the fuzzy
areas of life, and when they do, they end up being surprised, hurt,
and worst of all, unprepared. As a young scout you were told to Be
Prepared. But how can you prepare for the unknown? Obviously,
you cannot! Therefore avoid it and you’ll never end up with egg on
your face. Be safe, don’t take risks, follow the road maps—even if it
is dull. Perhaps you’re getting tired of all that certainty, knowing what
every day will be like before it has been lived. You can’t grow if you
already know the answers before the questions have even been
asked. Probably the times you most remember are those in which
you were spontaneously alive, doing whatever you wanted, and
delightfully anticipating the mysterious. We hear the cultural messages of certainty throughout life. They
began with family and are reinforced by educators. The child learns
to avoid experimentation and is encouraged to avoid the unknown. Don’t get lost. Have the right answers. Stay with your own kind. If
you still cling to these fearful encouragements to security, now is
the time to break free. Get rid of the idea that you can’t try out new
and doubtful behavior. You can if you choose to. It begins with an
understanding of your conditioned reflex to avoid new experiences. Openness to New Experiences
If you believe in yourself fully, no activity is beyond your potential. The entire gamut of human experience is yours to enjoy, once you
decide to venture into territory where you don’t have guarantees. Think of the people who are regarded as geniuses and were spectac-
ularly effective in their lifetimes. They weren’t people who could
do only one thing well. They weren’t individ-118 / Your Erroneous Zonesuals who avoided the unknown. Benjamin Franklin, Ludwig van
Beethoven, Leonardo da Vinci, Jesus Christ, Albert Einstein, Galileo,
Bertrand Russell, George Bernard Shaw, Winston Churchill, these
and many like them were pioneers, adventurers into new, unreliable
areas. They were people, just like you, set apart only in that they
were willing to traverse areas where others dared not tread. Albert
Schweitzer, another Renaissance Man, once said, “Nothing human
is alien to me.” You can look at yourself with new eyes, and open
yourself up to experiences that you’ve never even considered as a
part of your own human potential, or you can do the same things,
the same way

Your Bite: A Hidden Cause of Cavities and
A Fresh Look at Orthodontics and TMJ
I want to introduce you to an extraordinary world that is literally right under your nose: your bite. Your bite has a substantial relationship to your overall health, your strength, your vitality, your level
of attractiveness as well as your susceptibility to tooth decay. Super athletes know these facts and
regularly wear mouth guards such as the Pure Power Mouthguard™ which slides the jaw into a more
correct muscular and skeletal position. These adjustments increase overall muscle strength and
endurance. In this chapter you will discover the reasons for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, a
deeper understanding of the mechanics of orthodontics and braces, and the important connections
between the position of your bite to tooth decay and your overall health. Best of all, you will discover
how to improve your health through correcting the position of your bite. Theories about the treatment
and alignment of the bite are often obscured by contention, closed-mindednc9ess and limited vision. Therefore be prepared to be met with that attitude from many practitioners in the field if you bring
them information that is beyond the realm of their belief systems, such as what I will present here.Your Ideal Jaw Position and Enjoyment of Life
To understand how our jaw and skull are supposed to be aligned, let us look at examples of ideal
physical development as our template. Native peoples across the globe who displayed immunity to
tooth decay also possessed what Weston Price called “splendidly formed dental arches.”
1
 The dental
arch is comprised of the maxilla, the upper palate of the mouth, and the mandible, the jaw bone. In
general, the better the nutrition of the individual throughout life, beginning from before conception, the
wider the dental arches (the upper and lower jaws) will be. Wider arches mean wider, rounder faces
that we subconsciously associate with both robust health and natural attractiveness. These qualities
can influence how one chooses a partner who will likely be a successful mother with excellent
reproductive capacities, since generally a wide dental arch indicates the pelvic brim will also be
spacious enough to ensure easier births. I describe this in more detail in my book about
preconception, pregnancy, parenting, and children’s health called

(fuel),	but	they	retain	the	same	need	for	nutrients;	in	fact,	nutritional	needs	may
actually	increase	with	aging	(not	to	mention	that	digestion	of	food	and
assimilation	of	nutrients	is	often	impaired	in	older	people). Unfortunately,
elderly	people	often	are	less	able	to	buy	and	prepare	fresh	foods,	and	they	often
subsist	on	packaged,	processed	or	frozen	foods,	thus	consuming	fewer	nutrients.This	diet	makes	a	bad	situation	worse,	contributing	to	widespread	disease	and
disability	among	our	older	population. Almost	certainly,	you	have,	for	at	least	a	few	nutrients,	unique	needs	that	are
substantially	higher	than	average. More	than	a	quarter	century	ago,	medical
pioneers	like	Dr.	Carl	Pfeiffer	were	able	to	use	this	concept	to	cure	many	cases
of	“incurable”	schizophrenia	by	giving	patients	extra	vitamins	and	minerals
(above	and	beyond	what	was	available	through	a	regular	diet). With	their
nutritional	needs	being	met,	Pfeiffer’s	schizophrenic	patients	were	able	to	return
to	a	completely	normal	life. Such	nutrient	deficiencies	are	a	major	cause	of	the
many	mental	and	behavioral	problems	in	our	society. Arbitrary	Standards
Although	science	has	proved	that	we	have	individual	nutritional	needs,	at
present	we	have	no	way	of	measuring	each	person’s	needs. The	Recommended
Daily	Allowances	(or	RDAs)	that	are	listed	on	foods	and	vitamin	supplements
are	arbitrary. They	do	not	provide	accurate	information	about	what	you	need	in
order	to	stay	healthy. These	standards	are	a	measurement	only	of	the	minimum
dosage	necessary	to	prevent	a	diagnosable	deficiency	disease,	such	as	scurvy	(a
vitamin	C	deficiency	disease	common	to	sailors	who	went	too	long	without	fresh
fruits	and	vegetables). You	can	easily	meet	RDA	standards	and	still	lack	the
nutrients	necessary	to	prevent	other	diseases	not	specifically	known	as
“deficiency	diseases.”	In	fact,	optimal	health	usually	requires	at	least	several
times	the	RDA	values. In	reality,	however,	most	people	do	not	meet	even	these	minimum	standards. A	study	by	Professor	Suzanne	Murphy	at	the	University	of	California,	Berkeley,
published	in	the	November	1992	issue	of	the
Journal	of	the	American	Dietetic
Association,
measured	the	diets	of	5,884	people	for	fifteen	essential	nutrients. The	average	person	consistently	measured	below	two-thirds	of	the	RDAs	for
three	to	six	essential	nutrients. A	separate	study,	sponsored	by	the	U.S.
Department	of	Agriculture,	examined	ten	essential	nutrients	in	the	diets	of
21,500	people. In	that	study,	not	a	single	person	was	obtaining	100	percent	of
the	RDAs	for	all	ten	nutrients	on	a	daily	basis—not	one	person	out	of	21,500! Virtually	all	Americans	are	chronically	deficient	in	at	least	one	and	usually
several	nutrients,	even	when	measured	against	the	artificially	low	RDA
standards. When	we	consider	that	good	health	requires	several	times	the	RDA,
the	true	magnitude	of	the	problem	becomes	apparent. That	problem	is
compounded	by	the	fact	that	nutrients	must	act	as	a	team	in	order	to	keep	youhealthy. Of	the	more	than	fifty	known	essential	nutrients,	each	must	be	available	to	the
body	on	a	daily	basis	and	in	the	correct	amounts	and	ratios	to	each	other. Rather
than	acting	by	themselves,	nutrients	act	in	combination	with	each	other;	a
shortage	of	even	one	starts	a	chain	of	events	that	can	result	in	extensive
nutritional	deficiencies	and	body	system	malfunctions. In
The	Kellogg	Report,
Dr.	Joseph	Beasley	examines	how	one	specific
nutrient	deficiency	(vitamin	B
3
)	has	far-reaching	ramifications:	A	vitamin	B

deficiency	impairs	absorption	of	vitamin	C,	which	impairs	absorption	of	iron,
which	causes	excessive	copper	absorption,	which	inhibits	nickel	metabolism,
which	in	turn	adversely	affects	iron	metabolism,	and	on	and	on. If	all	those	can	occur	from	a	deficiency	of	just	one	nutrient	(vitamin	B

in	this
case),	just	imagine	what	happens	in	the	bodies	of	most	Americans,	who	are
chronically	deficient	in	several	nutrients. The	most	common	deficiencies	are	calcium;	zinc;	magnesium;	chromium;

cannot	miss	even	one	member	of	the	nutrition	package	and	hope	to	be	healthy. The	way	to	assure	you	are	getting	what	you	need	is	to	eat	a	wide	range	of	real
foods	that	are	rich	in	nutrition,	keep	the	Big	Four	and	other	“make-believe”
foods	out	of	your	diet,	and	take	high-quality	nutritional	supplements. A	Diet	That	Really	Works
As	a	child	growing	up	in	a	Boston	suburb,	I	remember	food	shopping	with	my
mother	at	several	farms	in	our	town. The	farmers	maintained	the	mineral	content
of	their	soils	with	traditional	methods	of	crop	rotation,	mulch	and	manure. All
through	the	summer	and	even	into	the	fall,	those	farms	supplied	our	town	with
freshly	harvested,	organically	grown,	fully	ripened	fruits	and	vegetables. Everybody	in	town	could	share	in	the	nutrition	those	small	local	farms	provided. By	the	late	1950s,	all	the	farms	had	been	sold	for	housing	developments,	as
happened	to	many	small	farms	across	the	United	States. From	a	real	estate
standpoint,	subdivisions	may	be	the	best	use	of	the	land,	but	from	a	health
standpoint,	development	is	a	disaster. Lost	with	those	local	farms	was	the
superior	nutrition	contained	within	fresh,	organically	produced	foods. What	has
replaced	them	are	commercially	produced,	toxic,	nutritionally	deficient
supermarket	foods. Our	biological	ancestors	ate	living	food	directly	as	nature	provided—oftenwith	no	alternative. If	you	were	hungry	and	found	a	berry	bush,	fresh	berries
were	what	you	ate. Likewise,	a	hunter	might	eat	an	animal	right	after	the	kill,	its
flesh	still	containing	living	cells	filled	with	vital	nutrients. Nature	works	that
way. Within	these	hunting	and	gathering	parameters	we	evolved	biologically;
even	today	our	nutritional	needs	are	best	served	with	living	foods	that	are	as
unchanged	as	possible	from	the	way	nature	provides	them. Instead,	we	often
settle	for	food	in	very	different	forms:	cooked,	dehydrated,	ground,	canned,
frozen,	hydrolyzed,	hydrogenated,	irradiated	or	otherwise	modified. By	eating	a
diet	that	consists	primarily	of	these	“altered”	foods,	we	run	the	risk	of	being
deficient	in	fundamental	nutrients	that	are	contained	only	within	the	whole,
intact,	living	cells	of	other	organisms. Your	body	needs	to	burn	calories	every	day	to	provide	energy. Although

atty and high-protein meals are retained in the stomach for
hours, resulting in putrefaction, gas

flux, inflammation and potentially, cancer. A constantly hyper-acidic stomach engenders coarse emotions, unhappiness and aberr an
t behaviors,
•  Our digestive glands have limited ability to digest foods. Our mineral stores become depleted and we become fatigued if the digestive organs are forced to secrete alkaline and acid digestive enzymes all day long, as necessitated by starchy, fatty, high-protein diets. •  Our small intestine is very long, about 20 feet, and our large intestine (the colon) is
about 5 feet long. They are both convoluted, which makes them suited to handle watery digesta and not dry and bulky food masses. Carnivores have straight and much shorter intestines, enabling the efficient elimination of tough, low water-content, bulky animal parts. Fatty and high-protein meals move through the small intestine of humans very slowly. This leads to fermentation, putrefaction, constipation, toxemia and a host of debilitating and potentially deadly diseases, such as intestinal prolapses, inflammatory bowel diseases, hemorrhoids, cancer, etc. •  Our excrement when eating a simple fruit-based diet is non-offensive and non-toxic, as
it should be with the world’s most highly-developed, elegant beings. And we experience no body odors if we do not overeat or mix nuts and seeds with sweet fruits. Fruitarians who eat correctly have clean bodies. Starch, fat and protein food eaters have dirty bod -
ies with repulsively foul stools. Our pristine senses lead us to enjoy fresh-smelling, clean bodies. •  Ripe fruits off er simple car
bohydrates which require little or no digestion. They are 95
Fruiticultureeasily absorbed for delivery to our cells within an hour. Complex carbohydrate foods
(e.g., grains and white potatoes) require cooking. They take several hours to digest and rarely digest completely, often fermenting and causing illness. They also typically raise blood sugar levels higher than do sweet juicy fruit meals, and they constipate the bow -
els. Because sweet, ripe, water-rich, organic, whole fruits require very little digestive ac -
tion and they are 100% toxin-free, the body does not have to expend much energy to metaboliz e their nutrients and elimina t
e their residues, and we gain energy from them
most efficiently. •  The ideal diet consists of mostly ripe, sweet fruits, rounded out with vegetables and
small amounts of avocado, seeds and nuts. The average caloronutrient ratio that has been demonstrated to be optimal for human health and longevity is 80% carbohydrates (minimum), 10% protein (maximum) and 10% fat (maximum), as revealed in studies by Dr. T. Colin Campbell (former nutrition professor at Cornell University and co-author of Diet, Nutrition and Cancer and The China Study), heart specialist Dean Ornish, M.D., and Dr. Douglas Graham, author of The 80/10/10 Diet. Yes, we need to “fuel up” on mostly simple carbs to have high vitality, and nothing provides this better than sweet fruit. •  The cells can derive fuel (calories) from three caloronutrient sources: carbohydrate,
protein and fat. If the body is forced to get most or all of its calories from fatty and high-protein foods, it will have to convert fat and protein to glucose. That is a very slow, energy-consuming process that produces a high acid-waste load which tears down our health. Those who adopt and maintain a plant-based 80/10/10 diet generally reverse disease and enhance their longevity. Those who eat diets with greater percentages of protein and fat generally succumb to acidosis, accelerated aging, physical and mental degeneration and the killer diseases endemic to modern Western cultures. •  Babies have not been corrupted by modern heat-processed, cultural foods. They in -
stinctively go for sweet, watery mother’s milk, which is about 7% sugar, 4% fat, 1% pro -
tein and 88% water (weight-wise)—nearly the same composition as sweet juicy fruits. Infants’  pr
istine senses tell them which kind of food is best. Do young adults, teenagers
and adults need more protein than a growing infant? Certainly not! Numerous infants have been observed to thrive beautifully when weaned on their preferred natural first whole food choice: sweet, raw fruit. And numerous children have been observed thriv -96
Fruiticultureing on fruit-based diets. •  Our sensorial acuity, emotional sensitivity and the ability to experience the sensations
that make us feel truly alive are heightened on a fruitarian diet. A fruitarian diet is the key to a profound bio-spiritual knowing, peace, poise, contentment and even euphoric well-being. •  Fruits are brain foods. They energize and enhance our mental faculties because they
supply abundant nutrients and do not require a huge energy-draining digestive process and waste clean-up effort. Their high electrolyte-rich water content promotes the fast -
est conductance of nerve impulses and neural function. Our mental powers operate at peak, vibran t lev
els of energy and performance when we eat water-rich, fruit-based
diets. Our consciousness is most clear and expansive and we are most spiritually aware when we eat mostly fruit. The hormonal proteins (precursors to neural transmitters) in fruits (especially tropical varieties) trigger the release of feel-good hormones in the bloodstream which make us feel happy and well. We need less sleep and can be more productive on a fruit-based diet. •  The sugars in raw, ripe, non-GMO foods are in no way harmful. Fruit sugar is non-toxic
and non-allergenic, and it does not cause cancer or candida. It is unnatural foods that cause illness. Yes, all sugars feed the bacteria and candida yeast in the gut, but they DO NOT CAUSE overgrowths of those microorganisms or trigger the growth of cancer cells. The cause of intestinal bacteria and candida overgrowths and cancer cells is constipat -
ing, mostly undigestible, acid-forming, toxic diets based in cooked starches and meat. Those foods clog up and acidify the bow els with digesta tha
t becomes food for bacteria,
yeast and mold, generating virulent toxins that add to the body’s toxemic load and can cause cancer. In other words, starchy, fatty and high-protein foods hang around in the gut for days and rot (ferment and putrefy) by the action of microorganisms whose natu -
ral job is to feast on their nutrients, break them down and breed. STOP THE CAUSE of the bacteria y east and mold o
vergrowths while eating a vegan fruit-based diet, and health
will be restored. In many cases, cancer cells can perish and be eliminated on an alkaliz -
ing fruit-and-vegetable diet. After cleaning out the bowels, sweet fruit eating will be -
come joyful. No one ever got candida from a raw, vegan diet of mostly sweet, water-rich fruits, exc ept those who ha
ve taken antibiotics and/or consume great quantities of fat. 97
FruiticultureDried fruits can cause problems, as well as eating sweet fruits with fatty foods (e.g., nuts
and seeds). Eliminate those foods to restore health, then eat them in moderation. •  Juicy fruits can trigger diarrhea. This is the body’s correct self-purification action. We
want the body to get rid of the toxic rubbish it was harboring. After a few days of clean -
ing out on a fruit and vegetable diet, the bowels will be rid of the toxic stool matter, we’ll feel bett er and diar
rhea will cease. Diarrhea will only continue under unhealth -
ful eating habits: eating highly undigestible foods and toxic items (such as meat, fried foods, refined flour pr oduc
ts, candy, coffee, spices, etc. ), and eating incompatible food
combinations (e.g., eating sweet fruits with starchy, fatty-high-protein foods, and eating fatty and/or high-protein foods with starchy foods). •  An excess of fatty foods slows down nerve impulses and neural activity, making dull
thinkers and lethargic people with low mental and physical energy. Our brains and men -
tal powers operate at low, dulled levels when the bloodstream and other bodily fluids are thickened with fatty fluids and the b ypr
oducts of starch fermentation (alcohol and
vinegar). Fat is an insulator which, in excessive amounts, slows down neural impulses and all physiological functions. This erodes our health and stifles our consciousness. •  Fatty foods and high-proteins foods are inherently acid-forming. That is, they acidify
the blood, forcing the body to extract alkalizing minerals from the bones and other cells to maintain the alkaline pH required for life. This causes acidosis, osteoporosis, organ deterioration, accelerated aging and disease. •  A fat-based diet of mostly meats causes systemic toxicosis, which results in inner tur -
moil, destructive behaviors and physical and mental degeneration. •  People in meat-based cultur es ar
e generally unmindful and uncompassionate. Those
who condone the killing of animals have lost touch with their humanity. This cultural
lack of respect for life is largely responsible for all of the wars and other turmoil that most of the world is constantly embroiled in. •  Blood sugar levels rise higher after eating meals of complex carbohydrate foods
(grains/bread/pasta/white potatoes/taro) than from eating


 you want to see what you are,
look at the people you feel closest to and with whom you
spend the most time. The mind is built up by the impres-
sions taken in through the senses, most important of
which are those that come from our social interactions. Whatever impressions we take in become more powerful
when shared with other people, who give them emotional
power. 152 Ayurveda and the Mind
The mind itself, down to the deepest unconscious, is a
social entity and follows a collective pattern. It is made up
of thought, conditioned by the language used in the social
context of our lives. The mind reflects our interactions
with other people, starting with our parents. The mind is
the record of our associations, which includes not only
human beings but all life to which we are related. Our
deeper consciousness (Chitta) itself is determined by the
nature of our associations, which create the most powerful
impulses (Samskaras) that we have to deal with. If we go
to the core of our hearts, it is our closest relationships that
most determine who we are. Ayurvedic psychology emphasizes right association to
ensure psychological well-being. We should always be
careful to keep ourselves in the right company. We should
associate with those individuals who elevate us, who bring
peace and keep our minds cool and calm. We should keep
ourselves distant from those who drag us down, who agi-
tate and overheat our minds and nerves. We must be most
careful about who we associate with on an intimate level. We should seek the good and strive to be in the com-
pany of the wise. Such are spiritual teachers, true friends,
the beauty of nature, great art, and wisdom teachings. Of
course, it is not always possible to remain in the physical
company of spiritually elevating people. They are not
always easy to find or to gain time with. However, we can
always keep them in our minds and hearts. We can attune
ourselves with their thoughts and deeds. In turn, we our-
selves should strive to have a beneficial influence on oth-
ers, projecting helpful attitudes and good thoughts toward
the entire universe. Healing the mind involves healing how we relate to the
world. It means establishing a society or group of friends Ayurvedic Counseling and Behavioral Modification
that draws us upward. This is the basis of real counseling. The counselor should provide the client with a deeper level
of association that does not reinforce their problems, but,
on the contrary, provides a space for their problems to be
released. Ideally, a true therapist should not be a doctor in
the distance, but a spiritual friend and well-wisher. Ther-
apy should be the beginning of communion, what is called
in Sanskrit Satsanga, the company of those sincerely seek-
ing truth. However, better than going to a therapist is frequent-
ing the company of spiritually elevating people. In their
company, our psychological problems, which come from
our material involvement, naturally get resolved. The
mere presence of such wise people cools and calms the
mind and heart. Lack of spiritual company is a main cause
of psychological unrest and the only cure is to find such
association. Discussing our problems, particularly with someone we
respect, is always of great help. It takes us beyond the per-
sonal nature of our problems to the greater and universal
issues of life. Communication itself is much of the benefit
of psychotherapy — drawing us into a relationship that
allows our problems to be discussed. Communication
breaks down the walls of isolation in which we suffer and
helps us look at ourselves in a new light, allowing old pat-
terns of constriction to be broken down and discarded. A true spiritual teacher helps us know who we are in
our inner consciousness, as apart from our ordinary identi-
fication with the mind-body complex. Such a person is the
ultimate psychologist. However, a spiritual teacher may
not be interested in functioning as a psychologist or a doc-
tor in the ordinary sense, helping us with our personal
worries, woes, aches and pains. The role of the spiritual 154 Ayurveda and the Mind
teacher is to guide us to higher states of consciousness, not
merely to help us resolve our ordinary problems. This may
involve teaching us to be detached from both our psycho-
logical and physical sufferings, which must always exist in
this transient world. A therapist, on the other hand, must recognize the lim-
its of what he or she can do. Therapists should not play
guru, but direct their clients toward genuine spiritual
teachers. Spiritual guidance is much more than psycholo-
gy in the ordinary sense, though true psychology should
lead to spirituality. Spirituality requires that we go beyond
the mind and its opinions, not merely that we are happy
with our state of mind. Psychological Disorders and the Biological
Humors
Psychological disorders, like physical ones, reflect
imbalances of the three biological humors. Health prob-
lems, whether physical or mental, are not merely personal
problems, but energetic problems in the mind-body com-
plex. They are not so much personal or moral failings as an
inability to harmonize the forces within us. Vata (Air) Type
Psychological disturbances occur with greater frequen-
cy when Vata is too high, which, as the nervous force, eas-
ily affects the mind. Like Vata, the mind is composed of
the air and ether elements. Vata's excess of air causes insta-
bility and agitation in the mind, which results in excessive
thinking or worrying and makes our problems appear
worse than they really are. The mind becomes overly sen-
sitive, excessively reactive, and we take things too person- Ayurvedic Counseling and Behavioral Modification 155
ally. We are prone to premature or inappropriate action
that may aggravate our problems. High Vata, as excess ether, makes us ungrounded,
spaced-out and unrealistic. We may have various wrong
imaginations, hallucinations or delusions, like hearing
voices. Our connection with the physical body and with
physical reality becomes weakened. We live in our
thoughts, which we may confuse with perception. Our
life-force gets dispersed by the excess activity of the mind. We lose contact with other people and cannot heed their
advice. High Vata in the mind manifests as fear, alienation,
anxiety and possible nervous breakdown. There is insom-
nia, tremors, palpitations, unrest and rapid shifts of mood. Insanity of the manic depressive type, or schizophrenia, is
an extreme Vata imbalance. There are many factors that can disturb Vata and create
possible psychological problems. Disturbing sensations are
hard for Vatas to handle, particularly too much exposure to
the mass media, loud music or noise. Drugs and stimulants
easily derange them. Insufficient food or irregular eating
also weakens and upsets them mentally. Excessive or unnat-
ural sexual activity quickly drains their often low energy. Stress, fear and anxiety affect them emotionally because
they lack calm and endurance. Violence and trauma leaves
them hurt and withdrawn. Neglect or abuse as a child cre-
ates a predisposition for a Vata-deranged psychology. Pitta (Fire) Type
Psychological disturbances are moderate in Pitta types. They usually have strong self-control but can be self-cen-
tered and antisocial. The fire and heat of Pitta cause the
mind to be narrow and contentious, fighting either with 156 Ayurveda and the Mind
others or with themselves. Pitta psychological disorders
are typically due to too much aggression or hostility. Typ-
ical Pitta is the overly critical type who finds fault with
everyone, blames other people for everything, sees enemies
everywhere, is always on guard and ready for a fight. High Pitta in the mind causes agitation, irritation,
anger, and possible violence. The overheated body and
mind seek release in venting the built-up tension. Pitta
types can become domineering, authoritarian or fanatic. When disturbed they may have paranoid delusions, delu-
sions of grandeur, or can become psychotic. Pitta in the mind becomes too high by various factors
that increase heat. Strong and bright colors and sensations
quickly irritate them. Exposure to violence and aggression
increases the same attitudes within them. Dietary factors
like overly hot or spicy food disturb their minds. Sexual
frustration, excessive anger and ambition, and related emo-
tional factors take their toll. Too competitive an education
or too much conflict in childhood are additional factors. Kapha (Water) Type
Kapha people have the least amount of psychological
problems and are the least likely to express them or to
resort to antisocial behavior. Kapha disturbs the mind by
blocking the channels and clouding the senses. High
Kapha (mucus and water) generally causes mental dull-
ness, congestion and poor perception. Kapha psychological unrest involves attachment and
lack of motivation leading to depression, sorrow, and
clinging. The mind may be incapable of abstract, objective
or impersonal thinking. There is a lack of drive and moti-
vation along with passivity and dependency. We want to
remain a child and be taken care of. We become preoccu- Ayurvedic Counseling and Behavioral Modification 157
pied with what others think about us. We lack the


 what you think he is withholding. Instead you can bring this spirit of
God that dwells in you to those missing or problem areas. And you will
have unlocked the secret for a spiritual solution to your problems. Once you realize that you cannot influence God, nor can you find God in
some place where he has hidden from you, you know that nothing is being
withheld from you and you can commune with this omnipresent source and
bring that love to bear on your personal problems. You Are Not Being PunishedJust as God does not withhold, God does not punish you by burdening you
with problems. As Joel Goldsmith, the founder of the Infinite W ay put it,
“All you have to do is to awaken from the belief in two powers of good and
evil and begin to honor God by respecting the first commandment. how
can you fear an evil power if there is only one power and that one power is
God. ” The idea that God could be punitive is inconsistent with spiritual
awareness. Purely and simply put, God is love and he has made everything
beautiful in its time, including you and everyone else. Actions and thoughts, which you might call evil, are the result of the error
that is made when you believe you are separate from God. It is a mistake of
the ego, or the intellect, to believe there is evil for which God must punish
you. Y ou correct an error by bringing truth to it. Y ou then nullify the error. The idea that God will condemn you is not consistent with a God of
forgiveness. You believe either in one power or two. The power of one is the power of
love. Evil exists first as a thought of non-good or non-God, and then it is
that thought which is acted upon. But it is all an error. “God is too pure to
behold iniquity. ” If it’ s not good, it’ s not of God, and if it’ s not of God, it
can’t exist, since everything is of the one power we call God. Y ou can
correct all the errors of your belief in separation from God by bringing that
higher loving ener gy to those areas of your life that are plagued with
problems. They are not punishments. Rather think of them as errors to be
corrected. They will disappear as surely as two plus two equals seven
disappears when you bring the substance of truth to the error. God does not condemn, God for gives. God does not punish, God is love. You end the error of evil which is a non-God thought by bringing a God-
thought to it. Y ou raise your spiritual ener gy by recognizing the lower
energies as being the result of having separated yourself from spirit in the
first place. Y ou rid yourself of the idea that any evil person has a grip on
you, because there is only one power in the universe that holds everything
together, and that power is good. All else that is not good is your mind at
work creating the illusions of problems. Nothing of an evil nature has ever
touched God. Anything that you believe God punished you for is because
you lived in the mind of man rather than the mind of God. When the mindof man becomes illuminated, he becomes a part of God, and this is the
solution to your fear of punishment. God Is Not an Overcoming Power
There is no reason for you to sit around and wait to be favored with a
spiritual experience, because most likely it is not going to happen that way. What you must do to raise and maintain higher spiritual ener gy is to learn
these principles and then put them into action. The simple truth is that by
thinking good, healing, loving thoughts you can produce the good, healing,
loving results. And conversely, by thinking evil thoughts you can produce
evil results. So, how do we overcome our mental inertia. By changing our
fundamental belief system. When you believe in two powers you must
constantly upgrade your fighting because stronger defeats weaker. A greater
force defeats a lesser force. Thus we have two forces or powers always in
conflict with each other. I’d like you to try a dif ferent idea here, which will eliminate the barrier of
your mental inertia. There are not good powers and bad powers, good
forces and bad forces. There is only one power and that is the power of God
or spirit. This power does not overcome evil, disease, disharmony, or
problems. The power of God is not an overcoming power. It does not defeat
or engage in conflict since it is the only power there is. There is no
secondary power for it to subdue. The two-power idea is a mental and
material creation of man wherein we fight lesser forces with greater forces
to emer ge as winners, or we think loving thoughts to overcome evil
thoughts—to be happier. God power doesn’ t overcome. The power of God is a creative, sustaining power. When you embrace this
idea of one power, all other forms of power whether material or mental
dissolve. Once you know this you stop fighting evil thoughts and instead
embrace the oneness of God. “Resist not evil,” means do not give any
credence to evil as a power in the first place. Evil has no power except to
those who subscribe to there being two powers. Once you embrace the idea of one power, you commune with that power
and let go of the illusion that a power other than that of God created your
problems. That is the two-power mind-set that I’ve called low/slowfrequencies of vibration. It is there because you live in the duality that there
is non-God and God existing simultaneously. Moreover, God is in this
never -ending eternal conflict with non-God and never has, or ever will, win
—this is all absurd. By leaving behind this duality thinking, and embracing
the idea of one power, you leave behind conflict. Y ou go to that one source,
needing nothing to struggle against, and you bring this truth to those
problem areas and observe as they evaporate in the presence of this one
power the power that is the one that you cannot seek after, attain, influence,
or coerce, because you already are connected to it right here, right now. Right where you stand. It is the meaning of “the Kingdom of God is within
you. ” Again, as Saint Paul put it, “Y ou are the temple of the living God. ”
Divine Love W ill Meet Every Human Need
Mary Baker Eddy is responsible for these words being printed on the wall
of every Christian Science Church: “Divine love will meet every human
need. ” How is it possible to believe this is true. People continue to have
many unmet needs in the presence of divine love. They feel divine love and
still their problems and sicknesses persist. This statement does not imply, as
many who wish for the resolutions to their problems assume, that divine
love is out there doing it for or to you. Divine love is something that you
must express and when you do, your every problem or need will be met. Divine love is not floating around in the air or sitting in a fluf fy cloud
waiting to rain down on you and wash away all your problems. Divine love
is what you radiate outward and it is not what you think of as human love. In divine love there are no conditions, no rules, no need to be thanked or
reciprocated. Divine love is spiritual love that embraces the seven
components of spirituality elaborated in chapter one. Y ou must let these
blessings pour out from you rather than going to God for your blessings,
because you are the instrument through which this grace flows. If you are to
raise and maintain your spiritual ener gy, you must keep uppermost in mind
that you (not a God from whom you are separated) are willing to allow
divine love to solve the problem. Rudolf Steiner observed “If we do not develop within ourselves this deeply
rooted feeling that there is something higher than ourselves, we shall neverfind the strength to evolve to something higher. ” Divine love is not truly
higher than yourself, but it is higher than the physical or ego-self you’ve
come to believe is you. Y ou already are this divine love and you can radiate
it outward and aim it at your unmet needs once you begin acknowledging
that it does exist. You Cannot Have God and Have Fear T oo
Generally speaking, most people fear their highest possibility and they are
afraid to become that which they can envision in their most glorious and
perfect moments. Consequently fear becomes an accustomed state of being,
and avoiding our own divinity becomes commonplace. I suggest that your highest possibility is to come to a knowing of your own
divinity. Yet your conditioning has led you to believe that it is almost
sacrilegious to assume that you are divine. Divinity, you have been told, is
for God and perhaps his chosen saints, but not for you. Thus, a fear of your
highest possibility keeps you from knowing God and living a life in which
you can access spiritual solutions. Essentially there are two overriding emotions—love and fear. And those
two emotional states cannot be experienced simultaneously. If you have fear
you’ve eliminated love, and vice versa. The scriptures remind us that
“Perfect love casteth out all fear. ” They also inform us over and over that
“God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him” (I
John 4:16). So, obviously the solution is to rid yourself of all fear and


 time to change the child's diet and to establish normal
bacterial flora in the throat. What do we do as an immediate response to an
ear infection? Unfortunately, a very common thing that happens is the prescription of
antibiotics. It is a routine response of the medical profession pretty much
everywhere in the western world. We have discussed in detail what anti
biotics do to the bodily flora (in the gut, on the skin, on all mucous mem
branes, including the nose, throat and ears). Though the course of anti
biotics would clear that particular ear infection, it would lay the ground for
the next one to come. Apart from destroying the beneficial bacteria, anti
biotics are usually given to small children in a syrup, which would provide concentrated amounts of sugars and starches to encourage the growth of
pathogenic microbes in the throat, many of which are resistant to the
antibiotic in that syrup. As a result these pathogens start growing even
while the antibiotic is being administered. Many children, whom I see,
have another ear infection pretty much as soon as the course of antibiotic
finishes. Unfortunately, in these cases children are put on a permanent
antibiotic for many months, which would cause a very deep damage to the
child's bodilyflora and immune system. There have been comparison studies done, where one group of children
with an ear infection was treated with antibiotics and another group
received no treatment. The result of these studies was the same - there is
no difference in the outcome of an ear infection after an antibiotic treat
ment or doing nothing at all. So, if you leave a child with an ear infection without any treatment, he or
she will recover just as well. However, there is no need to leave the child
without any help. People treated ear infections very effectively for
centuries with simple home remedies. Here are some recommendations. 1. If you can manage it keep your child indoors until the ear infection
resolves itself. Keep.your child warm all the time. Put a knitted
woollen hat on your child, and a warm jumper while indoors and let
your child wear a warm hat at all times - during the day and at night. 2. Give your child plenty of hot drinks. Just hot water with a slice of
lemon and a spoon of honey is sufficient. Sit your child on your lap
andgivehim or her this drinkfroma teaspoon, taking great care not to
burn the child but to let him have this drink as hot as possible. Put
some probiotic powder on his/her tongue after finishing the drink. If it
is difficult to get your child to take the powder, mix it in a teaspoon of
warm water and give him this teaspoon straight after finishing the
drink. Remember that probiotic contains live bacteria, which will
be killed by hot water, so mix it with warm or cool water. Instead of just water with lemon and honey, you can make some
herbal teas: camomile, calendula, marjoram, eucalyptus and thyme
all have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Make sure that
you get the pure herb itself without any additives. Put a teaspoon of
the herb into your teapot, pour over boiling water, cover and let it
brew for 5 minutes. Pour this tea through a sieve into a teacup, add
some honey and give it to your child spoon by spoon. After finishing
the tea, follow with the spoonful of probiotic powder on the tongue. 3, Take 1-2 tablespoons of cold pressed olive oil and mix in a crushed
clove of garlic. Leave it for 30 minutes, strain through a sieve or
cheese-cloth. Put a few drops of this oil into your child's ear every
hour, particularly before going to bed. Keep this oil at a room temper
ature and warm it up slightly before putting into your child's ear. To
warm this oil up, stand the cup with the oil in a dish with warm water
(not hot though, as it will reduce the oil's effectiveness). Do not
microwave this oil, as all the enzymes and other active substances in it
will be destroyed. Every day make a fresh mixture. The fresher it is the
more effective it will be. There are some commercial preparations
available as natural ear drops, containing olive oil with some garlic oil,
lavender oil, calendula and other natural herbs. 4. The old onion remedy. Take a large white onion, chop it up finely and
wrap it into a piece of cotton cloth. Put it into a microwave and warm
it up fairly hot but tolerable to the touch. Put it on your child's ear and
securely cover with a warm hat (a soft woollen knitted hat is best). You
can put a piece of cling film between the onion wrap and the hat, so
the onion juice does not soak the hat. Keep it on your child's ear until
it starts cooling down. Warm it up again in the microwave and repeat
the application. This procedure is very relaxing for the child and is
very good to do at bedtime. It is a bit messy and makes your child
smell of onion, but works amazingly well. After this procedure keep
the warm hat on your child and let him/her go to sleep on the side of
the affected ear to keep it warm. If your child run s a fever below 38°C (ioo°F), you do not need to reduce it. The fever is the body's way of fighting the infection. However, temperature
above 38°C (ioo°F) should be reduced as it can be harmful. Unfortunately,
all anti-inflammatory preparations for children are made with syrup, Ml of
sugars and starches, which should be avoided. I recommend the parents to
use Aspirin for children (if there is no allergy to Aspirin), which is very
effective in reducing pain and inflammation. Get Soluble Aspirin in small
75mg tablets, dissolve half a tablet in warm water and give to your child as
a drink with some honey. You can also dissolve it in his cup of hot herbal
tea. Aspirin should never be given on an empty stomach as it may irritate
the stomach lining. Let your child eat something first before giving
him/her Aspirin. Aspirin is a very safe medicine and has been given to children for
decades until a very rare and obscure condition was described, called Reye's syndrome. A whole host of drugs, pesticides and other chemicals
can cause this condition. This association with Reye's syndrome has led to
the withdrawal of aspirin from routine use in children in the USA and UK,
though it is still used for many childhood rheumatic conditions. Consequently, aspirin got replaced by paracetamol for use as a painkiller
and anti-inflammatory in children. Yet, paracetamol is far more dangerous
a drug than aspirin will ever be. Because paracetamol is extremely bitter it
has to be mixed with very concentrated sugary substances to disguise its
taste. We know that children with GAP syndrome should avoid sugars. Aspirin has a very mild taste and is very easy to give to children. It is one of
the safest and oldest medicines used for all inflammatory conditions. Apart from reducing inflammation and pain it will improve blood circula
tion in the body. As a result, quite often an administration of Aspirin
relieves an ear infection very well on its own possibly by allowing the
mucous to drain from the middle ear. A caution: if your child has got any rare genetic condition, liver impair
ment or kidney impairment, always consult your doctor before using any
medication, including Aspirin. All these measures should be applied as early as possible. If after 2-3
days the pain and fever are not getting any better you may have to resolve
to antibiotics. However, in the majority of cases these natural treatments
work very well and the child recovers without any help from the doctor. In
the meantime it is a good idea to start the long-term intervention (diet and
probiotics) as soon as possible to prevent any future ear infections. 2. TOP TEN INFLUENCES,
WHICH BOOST IMMUNITY
1. Cold pressed oils: olive oil, fish oils, nut and seed oils. 2. Fresh eggs, particularly raw egg yolk. 3. Onions and garlic. 4. Freshly pressed vegetable and fruit juices. 5. Regular consumption of greens: parsley, dill, coriander, spring
onion and garlic, etc. 6. Probiotic supplementation and fermented foods. 7. Contact with animals: horses, dogs, etc. Having a pet in the family
can do a lot for children's immune status. 8. Physical activity in the fresh air. 9. Swimming in unpolluted natural waters: lakes, rivers and sea. IO. Exposure to sunlight and sensible sunbathing. 3- TOP TEN INFLUENCES,

ADRENALINE DOMINANCE
 Fen-Phen was eliminated from the market because of heart
concerns, yet I do not know of any drug combination that has
actually been more beneficial for the heart. Fen-Phen helped
people get off cigarettes, lowered blood pressure, helped to
eliminate diabetes, reduced stress, and was the most successful
non-surgical treatment ever for losing excess weight. I researched this drug combination for six months before
I started using it with patients. The first patient I put on it
lost 100 pounds in three months with only minor changes his
eating habits. In this era of epidemic obesity, it might be worthwhile
for the medical community to reassess the positive aspects of
Fen-Phen. This would require a reevaluation of its benefits,
an honest reassessment of its safety and efficacy, and FDA
reapproval. This kind of reapproval of a drug happened not too long
ago for a hypnotic medication called thalidomide. In the 1950s
and 1960s, this drug had been prescribed as a sleeping aid for
pregnant women, which unfortunately resulted in a significant
number of congenital birth defects, and it was taken off the
market. Subsequently, it was found to have unique qualities
that allowed its reemergence as an anti-rejection drug used
with transplant patients. If Fen-Phen is ever reintroduced, steps must be taken to
ensure correct dosing. Perhaps a limited study could be funded
by the NIH,  focusing on treatment of the morbidly obese. I
doubt if drug companies would be interested in doing these
studies, since phentermine and fenfluramine are not patentable. Perhaps it is time for the medical community to accept
the fact that the current recommendations for controlling
weight are not working. Surgery should not be the answer. |   111 fEN-pHEN : ANOTHER S IDE TO THE S TORy
Since obesity is now considered a disease rather than an eating
problem, the idea of using medications to treat it might also
be more acceptable. If a weight loss medication can also
eliminate hypertension, asthma, migraine headaches, substance
addictions, ADHD, and depression, so much the better. Interestingly, bio-identical progesterone cream provides
many of the same clinical results as Fen-Phen because of its
effect on insulin and adrenaline. It also helps with weight loss,
though the effect is not as profound as with Fen-Phen.113
CHAPTER 8ADRENAL
FATIGUE—
OR IS IT? Adrenal fatigue is a diagnosis used mostly in alternative
medicine, usually among naturopathic physicians. The
diagnosis is based on the theory that the adrenal gland, if underfunctioning, can fail to produce sufficient quantities
of cortisol. Treatment often involves prescribing cortisol in
addition to addressing diet, timing of eating, and amount
of rest. I have two concerns about this diagnosis and its treatment. First, adrenal fatigue may actually be adrenaline dominance,
a condition of adrenal overfunctioning rather than
underfunctioning. Second, prescribing cortisol for a condition
possibly already associated with a high cortisol level may have
unintended consequences. Cortisol, if given inappropriately,
can produce unwanted weight gain by raising sugar and insulin
levels. It can also cause osteoporosis, cataracts, stomach ulcers,
muscle wasting, and brain damage. Naturopathic physician James Wilson, in his book, Adrenal
Fatigue: The 21st Century Stress Syndrome,* published in 2001,
gives a list of symptoms suggesting adrenal fatigue. These
include:
* J.L.Wilson, Adrenal Fatigue: The 21st Century Stress Syndrome
  (Petaluma, CA: Smart Publications, 2001), pp. 27–45. 114  |
ADRENALINE DOMINANCE
• Fatigue unrelieved by sleep
• Difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep• Decreased ability to handle stress• Depression• Increased PMS in women• Increased symptoms when meals are skipped• Problems focusing, with memory lapses• Decreased tolerance, easily irritated• Low energy between 3 and 4 p.m. • Difficulty staying on task • Being easily startled, which causes palpitations• Anxiety attacks• Hypoglycemia• Weight gain
As we have seen in this book, excess adrenaline can cause
or contribute to every one of these symptoms. So is adrenal fatigue a condition related to too little
cortisol or too much adrenaline? The distinction is
important, since the treatments for the
two conditions differ. So is adrenal fatigue a condition related to too little cortisol
or too much adrenaline? The distinction is important, since the
treatments for the two conditions differ. Usually, symptoms
related to excess adrenaline can be largely relieved within 24 hours. Problems related to adrenal fatigue are more complex, since adrenal insufficiency can take months to correct. |   115 ADRENAL fATI gUE—OR IS IT? I suspect that one of the sources of confusion between
adrenaline dominance and adrenal fatigue is that a low level
of salivary cortisol is often considered an indicator of adrenal
fatigue. However, I have observed that patients with low
cortisol levels in saliva often have high cortisol levels in the
blood. An elevated cortisol in a morning blood sample almost
always goes along with high adrenaline. In fact, I consider a high morning cortisol blood level to be the best indicator of high adrenaline. (In my view, any cortisol level greater than 11.5 might actually be considered elevated.) I believe that this significant discrepancy between high
cortisol levels in the blood versus low levels in the saliva is
related to the tendency of adrenaline to constrict blood vessels. For example, the most common cause of cold hands and cold
feet is excess adrenaline, not low thyroid. Vasoconstriction of
blood vessels in the eye can cause glaucoma (which is often
treated with beta-blocker eye drops), and vasoconstriction
of the vestibular artery in the neck can cause tinnitus in the
ears. Similarly, vasoconstriction of salivary gland blood vessels
could possibly restrict blood flow to that area, resulting in low
cortisol levels in the salivary glands themselves (as well as a
dry mouth, which is commonly found in people with anxiety). It might make more sense to treat patients initially
as if they have adrenaline dominance. For these reasons, it might make more sense to treat
patients initially as if they have adrenaline dominance, rather
than starting them on cortisol, a powerful hormone that they
may not need. The fact that excess adrenaline responds so
quickly to the protocol presented in this book can be used  116  |
ADRENALINE DOMINANCE
as a diagnostic tool. If the patient’s symptoms are caused by
adrenaline dominance, the symptoms should disappear or at
least improve within 24 hours. If the symptoms do not improve
within 24 hours, then the possibility of adrenal fatigue can
be considered. Cortef, the drug most commonly used to treat adrenal
fatigue, raises the cortisol level. Patients often feel better after
they have started on Cortef. This may be because Cortef also
raises the blood sugar level, which can decrease the body’s
need to put out adrenaline. It can also act as an antidepressant. Thus Cortef can appear to be helping, whereas it may actually
be making things worse. A word of caution: If a morning blood cortisol test shows
that the patient’s cortisol level is below normal, and if the
person’s DHEA-S (dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate, a hormone
produced by the adrenal gland) level is also extremely low, the
patient should probably be referred to an endocrinologist for treatment of possible Addison’s disease—a true condition of “adrenal fatigue.”117
CHAPTER 9MANAGING
EXCESS ADRENALINE
This chapter discusses the specifics of the treatment protocol
for managing excess adrenaline. This treatment can bring
about improvement of many of the conditions caused by
adrenaline dominance fairly quickly, often within 24 hours. The two main aspects of the protocol—using progesterone
cream and following a properly balanced diet—are discussed
separately. (A recommended eating plan is provided in the
appendix.) Both are vital to lowering adrenaline, though they
play different roles. Progesterone lowers adrenaline indirectly
through its effect on insulin. The only thing that directly lowers
adrenaline is giving the brain a steady supply of the right fuel
so the body doesn’t continue to release adrenaline. This is
accomplished through diet. This treatment can bring about improvement of many
of the conditions caused by adrenaline dominance
fairly quickly, often within 24 hours. Because of the damage that can occur from prolonged
imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain, this chapter also includes a section on recommended supplements to  118  |
ADRENALINE DOMINANCE
improve brain health. The final section comments on diet
and supplements for children with ADHD  and autism. DIETARY TREATMENT: A MEAL PLAN
The importance of diet in treating hyperadrenalism cannot
be underestimated. It represents 70 percent of the successful
approach to lowering adrenaline and is essential in addressing
all of the conditions mentioned in this book: the “good,” the
“bad,” and the “ugly” manifestations of excess


 subsided and disappeared. So the mechanism of
surrender passed the acid test. It succeeded where everything else had
failed. W ith continued application, other disorders began to fade away. Over time, the experience of “knowing” replaced thinking. Knowing
comes on in a totally dif ferent manner. It is just standing there for our
recognition. One morning upon waking, there was the “knowing” of being
cured of poison ivy. At the same time, it was obvious that the very name,
the label “poison ivy,” was a program and a belief system in and of itself. In
any case, there was the “knowing” of being immune to poison ivy, even
when going outside, touching it, playing with it, and putting some of it in a
flower pot to carry to an interview program that evening! The subject of the
interview was: “The Power of Consciousness in Self-Healing.”Another episode of “knowingness” occurred one day when
unexpectedly confronted by intense insecticide fumes. Such fumes had been
a severe aller gy for many years and invariably triggered a severe migraine. On this particular day, however, there was the sudden “knowing” of
immunity to fumes. W alking into a recently fumigated home and taking
very deep breaths of the fumes without any consequences at all, a sudden
elated feeling of freedom prevailed. How wonderful to be free and to
experience the power of mind! It was obvious in that moment that we are
only subject to those things that we hold in mind. It is not necessary to be a
slave or victim in the world. The same thing happened with a long-standing belief about elevated
cholesterol. As the belief and concept of it were cancelled, eating dairy
products was resumed with no negative impact on cholesterol. In fact, blood
testing showed a progressive lowering of unhealthy cholesterol levels! Moreover, food intolerances and aller gies disappeared. It took at least
another year, however, for the sugar intolerance and functional
hypoglycemia to disappear. For a period of time, it would still recur under
periods of stress, especially physical exertion, after eating sugar and sweets
accompanied by caf feine. In the meantime, it was possible to return to a regular diet after many
years of severe restrictions. How freeing to eat foods with seeds (not
allowed with diverticulitis), all the foods that were supposed to be
contraindicated for ulcers and colitis, and even hot fudge sundaes! It took a
couple of years for the functional hypoglycemia to disappear, but eventually
it was possible to eat all of the sweets that had been forbidden for years. The whole middle age syndrome was a belief system as well. As this
belief system was cancelled and surrendered, the coldness disappeared from
the hands and feet. The fatigue, mild depression, and irritability also
disappeared. Physical stamina increased and the tolerance for physical work
became almost unlimited. Now that the more major things were out of the way, some of the minor
ailments were consciously addressed. The belief in pilonidal cyst was
surrendered. In six weeks, it disappeared. The Eustachian tube, which
always blocked when flying in airplanes, caused severe pain in the right ear. It took two years to correct itself. There was a continual letting go of all
thoughts and feelings about it and, at the same time, the use of visualization
in which the angle of the canal with the right temple bone was pictured aschanging to a normal angle. This was the only ailment with which
visualization was used. At the end of two years, the ailment disappeared,
and there was never any further dif ficulty in clearing the ears with changes
in altitude. In the meantime, the neck pains were progressively disappearing, and
this made dancing possible. While dancing and surrendering any resistance
to the neck pain, soon the body began to automatically put itself into self-
healing postures and movements, as though there were an inner chiropractor
manipulating the spine. It was an uncanny sensation, as though invisible
healers were realigning the spine. As this was going on, there were changes in circulation occurring in the
hands and feet, and they were no longer cold all the time. The vibration
disease in the fingertips, which had been threatening gangrene, now
reversed itself. The pads on the fingertips swelled back out and turned pink
again. The burning pain in the fingertips disappeared. Sensation returned. Up to that time, the fingers had become so numb that it was not possible to
turn the pages of a book.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        Suppression,
repression, and projection are all destructive dynamics and result in a
progressive stress on and decline of our relationships. W e like to pretend that our innermost feelings are unknown to others,
but are they. W e are all connected to each other on the psychic, intuitive
level; so, our feelings are read and known by others. W e may not be
consciously aware of it, but their behavior toward us reveals that they know
our inner attitude and feelings toward them. For example, let’ s say that our external behavior on the job is
exemplary. Why is it, we ask, that the other person gets the promotion or
the recognition, and we do not. The answer is to look at our hidden inner
feelings about the boss and the job. Do we really think that he hasn’ t
registered our inner envy, criticalness, and resentment. It is a safe bet to
assume that others know our inner feelings and the thoughts that go with
those feelings. The kind of thoughts we are having about them is very likely
matched with similar thoughts they are having about us. If we realize this
principle, a lot of things that happen in our life will start to make sense. W e
can ask ourselves, “How would I react if I were the other person and knew
exactly what my personal inner feelings and thoughts really were. ” The
answer to that will usually make clear what the other person’ s behavior is
all about. Perhaps we didn’ t get the promotion because, at the unspoken,
ener getic level, our boss knew that we were critical of him, resentful of our
colleagues, and clamoring for approval and recognition. Before searching ourselves for negative feelings, it is best to remember
that these feelings are not our real inner Self. They are learned programs we
have inherited from being humans. Nobody is exempt from them; everyone
from the highest to the lowest has or has had an ego. Even the few who are
enlightened had an ego at one time before it was finally transcended. This is
the human condition. T o be able to observe our feelings honestly requires a
nonjudgmental attitude. W e first have to be aware of what is really going on inside of us before
we can do anything about it. As we let go of a feeling, it is replaced by a
higher one. The only purpose for recognizing and admitting a feeling is so
that we can relinquish it. T o be surrendered means that we are willing to
relinquish a feeling by allowing ourselves just to experience it and not to
change it. Resistance is what keeps it there in the first place. W e may think that some of the negative emotions are necessary to us;
however, upon examination we will discover that this is an illusion. The
higher emotions are far more powerful and ef fective in bringing about the
fulfillment of our needs. Let’ s ask ourselves, for example, what would we be willing to do for
someone we really, truly love. W e will instantly see that it is almost
anything. There is almost no limit to which we will go for love. Now
contrast this with what we are willing to do for someone who has
intimidated us. W e will see that we grudgingly give as little as possible. While the intimidators may seem to get away with something temporarily
on the surface, they really have lost the whole thing, haven’ t they. Their
victory is superficial, temporary, and not even real—a victory in appearance
only. In the end, the world turns, and the intimidators sow their own
destruction. What we win by the negative emotion is short-lived and
inauthentic. It doesn’ t really satisfy. It’ s like a forced compliment. Real
happiness results from a win-win situation. The price of a win-lose situation
is hatred and low self-esteem. Underneath it all, we fool neither ourselves,
nor others. Others always know when we are out to exploit them. If we have dif ficulty in relinquishing a feeling, it helps merely to look
at the intent of that feeling. What is the purpose of it. What is the supposed
purposeful ef fect on the other person. What is their likely response. Do we
really want that. If this were the last day of our life, would that really be
what we wanted. W ell, this is  the last day of our life—our old life with allits conflicts, anxiety, and fear. That is the price we have paid for holding on
to the old. As we relinquish the negative suppressed feelings from all the
programs we have internalized, they are automatically replaced by the
higher ones. W e become happier and lighter and so do the people around us

The force of love has no opposite. There is no other power in life but love. There isn't a force of negativi ty. In an cient times, negativity was  sometimes
described as "the devil" or "evil." Being tempted by evil or the devil simplymeant b eing tempted to fall into neg ative thoughts and feelings, rather than
standing firm in the positive force of love. There is no force of negativity. There is only one force, and that force is love. All the  negati ve things you see in the world are always, always
manifestations of a lack of lov e. Whether that negativity is in a person,
place, circumsta nce, or event, it has always come from a lack of  love. There
isn't a fo rce of sadne ss; sadness is a lack of happiness, and all happiness
comes from love. There isn't a f orce of failure; failure is a lac k o f succes s,
and all success comes from lov e. There isn't a force of illness; illness is a
lack of health, and all health comes from love. There isn't a force of
poverty; poverty is a lack of abundance, and all abundance c omes from
love. Love is the positive force of life, and any negative condition always
comes from a lack of love. When people reach the tipping point of giving more love than negativity,
we will see negativity vanish from the planet at a rapid rate. Imagine itl
Every single time you choose to give love, yo ur love is helping to tip  the
entire world into positivity! Some people believe that we are v ery close to
the tippi ng poin t now. Whether they're right or not, more than ever, now is
the time to give love and positivity. Do it for your life. Do it for your
country. Do it for the world. "When t he hear t is set right, then the personal life is cultivated. When the
personal life is cultivated, then the home life is r egulated. Whe n the home
life i s r e gulated, then the national life is or derly: And when the national life
is or derly, then the world is at peace." (Confucius 551-479 BC )

A human being cannot imagine not existing. W e can imagine our body not
being al ive, but we simply cannot imagine not existing. Why do you think
that is? Do you  think it's a fluke of nature? It's not. Y ou cannot imagine
yourself not existing because i t's impossible for you not to exist! If you
could imagine it, you could create it, and you can never create it! Y ou have
always existed and you will always exist because you are a part of creation. "Ther e has never been a time when you and I and the kings gather ed her e
have not existed, nor will ther e be a time when we will cease to exist. As the
same person inhabits the body thr ough childhood, youth, and old age, so
too a t the time of death, he attains another body. The wise ar e  not deluded
by these changes.” (Bhagavad Gita - Ancient Hindu T ext)

So what happens when a p erson dies? The body doesn't go into
nonexistence, because there's n o such thing. It integrates itself into the
elements. And the being that is inside you the real you - doesn't go into
nonexistence either. T he very word "being" tells you that you will always
be! Y ou are not a human "been"! Y ou are  an eternal being liv ing
temporarily in a human body. If you stopped existing, there w ould be anempty space in the universe, an d the whole universe would collapse into
that empty space. The only  reason  you can't see another being after they have left their body
is that you can't see the frequency of love. Y ou can't see the frequency of
ultraviolet light either, and the frequency of love, which is th e frequency
they're on, is t he highest frequency in creation. The gre atest scientific
equipment in the world cannot even come close to detecting the frequency
of love. But rem ember that you can feel love, so if there is  someone you
can't see anymore, you can feel them on the frequency of love. Y ou can't
feel them in grief or despa ir because those frequencies are nowhere near the
frequency they'r e on. But when  you are on the highest frequencies of love
and gratitude, you can feel them. They are never far away from you and you
are never separated from them. Y ou  are always connected to every thing in
life through the force of love. Heaven Is W ithin Y ou

"All the  princip les of heaven a nd earth are living inside you,  " (Morihei
Ueshiba, Founder Of The Martial Arts Aikido, 1883 –1969)

Ancient texts say that "heaven is within you," and what they're talking
about is the frequency of your being. When you leave yo ur hum an body,
you are automat ically on the hig hest frequency of pure love, because that's
the f requency of your being. In ancient times this highest frequency of pure
love was called heaven. But heaven is for you to find here in this lifetime - not when your body dies. Y ou are to find heaven here, while you're on Earth. And indeed heaven is
within y ou, beca use heaven is th e frequency of your being. T o find heave n
on Earth is to live your life at the same frequency as your being - pure love
and joy. For the Love of Life

"The question is not really wheth er or not you go on, but rather how are you
going to enjoy it?" (Robert Thurman, Buddhist W riter, B 1941)

Y ou are a n eternal being. Y ou have all the time in the world to experience
everything. There's no lack of time because you have forever! Y ou have so
many adventure s ahead, so many things to experience. Not just  adventures
on E arth, because once we've m astered Earth, we will begin new adventures
in ot her worlds. There are galaxies, dimensions, and life that we can't evenimagine now, but we will experience all of them. And we will experience
them together because we are a part of creation. Billions of years from now;
when we look out into creation for our next adventure, there wi ll be worlds
among worlds,  galaxies among galaxies, and unlimited dimensions,
stretching out before us for all eternity. And so do you think with all this that perhaps you are a wee bit more
special t han you  ever considered yourself to be? Do you think perhaps you
might be a little more valuable than you thought? Y ou, every person you
know; and every person who has ever lived have no end! Don't you just want to wrap your arms around life and say thank you'
