Article #2: In Search Of Emotional Well-Being
Mental andemotional well-being isconditioned byfarmore influences andfactors than
physical well-being. While physical well-being arises from meeting thephysical needs
ofthebody correctly,thisisnotalways enough toassure mental andemotional serenity.
Inascertaining theconditions necessary inachieving mental well-being, wemust
consider more than therequisites ofphysical health. Wemust take intoaccount those el-
ements inourecosystem thatpromote mental andemotional health and, likewise, those
factors and influences which undermine it.
There aremany who assure usthatweareresponsible forhow wefeelandact,that
wearethearchitects ofourfeelings andmoods. Wecancontrol thefactors thataffectusoratleast sorationalize ourattitudes inresponse toexternal factors thatwearenot
adversely af fected.
Those who areunder emotional control aresaid tobepoised: calm, cool, andcol-
lected. They respond rationally.
Individuals who donothave strong emotional reactions tostimuli andphenomena,
beitadverse orfavorable, arerare. Most ofusreact tounexpected conditions inanin-
volved rather than inadetached manner.This ishow almost allcreatures ofnature react
to abnormal situations or extraordinary circumstances.
Ifthere arevery fewhumans who canview affairs inobjective fashion, there are
fewer nonhumans thathave thiscapability—perhaps porpoises (dolphins) andwhales.
Where there areimmediate anddire threats thatrequire timely action, even themost
poised may forego their usual detachment and objectiveness.
InNatural Hygiene/ Life Science weteach thatevery effectistheresult offoregoing
causes. Hence weneed toexplore causes—causes over which wecanexert control and
causes which arebeyond ourcontrol—in order toimprove ourmental andemotional
condition. Essentially weallseek mental equilibrium, poise, orstability within thecon-
textofourrespective lives. Within thissetting wehave certain desires andexpectations.
Thus webecome disturbed andupset when something weexpect orwant appears tobe
or is denied to us.
Whatever thecauses ofdepression, allarewithin theprovince ofourcontrol. Wecan
take several steps to fulfill most of the requirements necessary to live a joyous life.
Some significant areas inwhich wecanexercise control ofouremotional andmental
well-being are:
1.Our health regime. Wecanadopt and closely observe ourbiological requirements.
Though wemay besubject tomany ofthestresses modern society imposes upon us,we
willfarefarbetter ifthebasics oflifearecorrect. TheLife Science/ Natural Hygiene pro-
gram isscientifically correct, foritisbased squarely upon ournatural adaptations. Itis
within our province to decide to live healthfully and to pursue it diligently.
2.Ourthoughts. Wecanthink constructive thoughts instead ofdestructive ones. Ifwehar-
boranimosities orthedisapproval ofothers, weinjure ourminds. Wemust psyche our-
selves into thoughts thatareoptimistic andpositive innature, andquash ourthoughts
thatarenegative innature. Itissaid, “As youthinketh, soshall yoube.” Byfocusing
your thoughts andreflections upon yourself andyour relationships with theworld, and
directing your attention tohow you canimprove yourself andyour interaction with
others, you’ll belaying thefoundation formastering your own destiny andhappiness.
Should youfeeldefeated ordepressed, despondent orindespair,youcanrefuse toin-
dulge in those thoughts that perpetrate these mental states.
3.Accept theworld asitis.Accept andadapt tochanges andlook upon them aschallenges
rather than trying to resist them.
When weareinrapport with theworld, wecantake advantage ofevents andcondi-
tions rather than lose outbyresisting them. Indoing so,wecreate apositive influence
onouselves andthose around us.Wemust becommitted towhat webelieve butwemust
berealists and know what we can and cannot do.
Wemust, finally,address ourselves honestly tothelimit ofourreach. Each personal-
ityhasitslimits—to extend ourselves beyond ourcapabilities willonly lead toself-pres-
sure andourbodies willautomatically become stressful. And thatmental serenity will
escape us.Lesson 65 - There Are No Cures

65.1. Introduction
Many ofthemethods oftreatment thatwere often prescribed byphysicians during the
19th century andbefore aretoday considered useless andlife-threatening. Butthephysi-
cians during thattime persisted insuch practices asbleeding, blistering, purging, andthe
useofheavy metals, especially mercury,because they witnessed that, insome patients,
symptoms would disappear.This, however,wasanillusion. Symptoms were suppressed
butthere wasnorecovery ofhealth. Indeed, many people died because ofthetreatment
butthephysicians didnotrecognize thatthe“cure” itself was thedirect cause ofthe
deaths.
Since thattime, there hasbeen aconstant search forthatelusive “cure.” Harmful re-
sults occur when people become soconvinced thatthese “cures” willrestore health that
they relyupon thisillusion instead oflooking totheir modes ofliving astherealcause
oftheir illhealth. Youmust, therefore, strive tobecome more independent thinkers. You
must begin toquestion “cures” andseek thetruth byseeing things from adifferent per-
spective.
Ifacertain drug isfound particularly harmful andtaken offthemarket, wearetold
thatweshould notdoubt theeffectiveness ofallofthese agents. However,weshould
notfollow ourselves tobedeceived bythem. One may feelbetter forawhile after taking
oneofthese symptom-suppressing agents, butourso-called “cure” isadeception. The
“cure” willnotlast.Byseeking thetruth, wewillbelead tothetruecause ofdisease and
from this we may know how to regain our health.
Agood example ofhow theAmerican people have been misled bythisdelusion of
“cures” liesinthepractice ofimmunization. People have been toldthatvaccines build
upantibodies thatprotect thevaccinated from disease. This isafalse claim. Disease is
theresult ofunhealthful living andonecannot be“immunized” against hiserrors inliv-
ing.
Any violation against physiological lawalways results insickness. This would in-
clude anyfailure tomeet sleep requirements, proper food, air,water,sunshine, exercise,
orother needs The body’ sability toadapt isremarkable butfreedom from symptoms
isadelusion when itisproduced bydrugs incontravention ofphysiological functions.Under such circumstances, thebody willinevitably become exhausted andmore chronic
illnesses will ensue.
Theadverse effects ofdrugs were illustrated inaprevious lesson andmore andmore
people arerealizing thedangers ofthese poisons andarelooking elsewhere for“cures.”
Thus, weseemany drugless practitioners throughout thecountry promising allsorts of
“cures.” This lesson willreview some ofthemore popular “cures” anditwillbedemon-
strated that they are harmful and, at best, relatively innocuous.
Youshould keep inmind thatthere areno“cures.” There isnodiet, noherb, nomas-
sage therapy thatwillrestore health iftheunderlying cause ofsickness isnotremoved.
As we have stated before, health will result only from healthful living.

65.2.1 History
Herbs have been used throughout recorded history as“cures” forvarious ailments.
However,theuseofherbs came intotheforefront more formally in


, caramels andchews, Life Savers,
fruit drops, filled chocolates (butnotpure chocolates); softdrinks, fruit drinks andades;
jellies, jams, marmalades; stewed-fruit sauces; fruit gelatins; fruit yogurts; icecream;
piefillings, puddings (vanilla, butterscotch, andchocolate puddings), caramel custard,
whips, dessert sauces (such asvanilla andcream inpowdered form); bakery goods (ex-
cept plain rolls); crackers, cheese puffs,chips; cake andcookie mixes, waffle/ pancake
mixes; macaroni andspaghetti (certain brands); mayonnaise, salad dressings, catsup
(Vermin brands); mustard, ready-made salads with dressings; remoulade, bearnaise and
holladaise sauces, aswell assauces such ascurry,fish, onion, tomato, andwhite cream;
mashed rutabagas, purees; packaged soups, andsome canned soups; canned anchovies,
herring, sardines, fish balls, caviar and cleaned shell fish.
Asfarback as1906 anazodye, scarlet red,wasfound tocause tumors inrabbits in
Germany.In1924 itwasreported tocause liver tumors inmice. In1934 Tomizu Yoshi-
da,professor ofpathology atTokyo University,Japan, reported liver cancer inratsthat
ingested azocompounds intheir diet. Azo dyes have since been found carcinogenic ina
wide variety ofexperiments worldwide, butthey arestillused inourfood andcosmetics.
75.17.11 Sugar
Dr.Hieper hassaid: “Inthemselves, sugars may notbecarcinogenic—but carcino-
genic impurities may beintroduced into sugars when concentrated. Sugar solutions
arefiltered fordecolorizing purposes through improperly prepared charcoal containing
polycyclic hydrocarbons. Chemicals ofthedibenzanthracene type areeluted (washed
out) from charcoal byconcentrated sugar solutions. Traces may beintroduced inthis
manner and may remain in apparently chemically pure sugars.”
75.17.12 Saccharin
“Saccharin isanoxious drug, andeven incomparatively small doses itisharmful to
thehuman system,” wrote Dr.Wileyin1913. Hetried tokeep thisnonnutritive adulter-
ant out of food and drink.
Asearly as1951, three FDA scientists reported that saccharin atcertain levels
showed ahigh incidence ofunusual combinations ofcancers. TheFDA chose toignore
thereport. InNovember 1969 Dr.Geor geT.Bryan, atumor expert andcancer researcher
atthemedical school oftheUniversity ofWisconsin, reported totheFDA thatusing
saccharin, hehadproduced bladder cancer in47% ofthemice inonegroup, andin52%
ofanother group. Inapress interview,Dr.Bryan admitted thatalthough direct cancer
hazard toman from saccharin hasnotyetbeen established, hewas“very suspicious.” Headded, “Itmay take many years before itisknown exactly how dangerous thesubstance
is...”

Most pesticides arepoisonous andcanbedangerous totheuser,theenvironment,
andthefood consumer.Pesticides thatreach theconsumer generally dosobytheoral
route. Thus, stomach andbowel cancers areofparticular interest toagronomic andagri-
cultural scientists.
Pesticides may promote orinduce cancer.Insecticides allarereadily absorbed
through theskin andmay also beinhaled oringested. Acute symptoms following mas-
sive exposure including vomiting; dizziness, tremors, andconvulsions. Such exposure
canbefatal. Other insecticides result inskin andlung irritation. Dithiocarbonates, a
group ofchemicals commonly used asfungicides, arehighly irritating totheskin, eyes,
and respiratory tract.
Testsforpesticides frequently establish theability ofthecompounds topromote and
induce cancer.Afurther complication isthatofmultiple carcinogens, amultiplier effect
when oneisadded toanother.Thesaleanduseofsome 2.000 pesticide products con-
taining 23potentially hazardous ingredients hasbeen restricted bytheEPAtofarmers
and commercial users.
75.18.1 Pronamide
This pesticide, used mainly onlettuce, alfalfa, andtoalesser extent, onberries, turf
andsugar -beet seed, caused cancer inmice. OnJanuary 15,1979 theFPAproposed that
thecontinued useofpronamide beallowed, butwith additional precautions loreduce
potential risks tohumans. FPAAssistant Administrator Steven Jellinek said: “Ingeneral,
EPAconcluded thatforalluses theeconomic benefits ofpronamide outweigh itsrisks.
Most pronamide isused onlettuce inCalifornia andArizona, which produce most ofthis
country’ slettuce. Without pronamide, theestimated losstolettuce andalfalfa growers
would beapproximately $17.3 million annually.Pronamide isused primarily asanher-
bicide tocontrol weeds, which compete with lettuce andalfalfa. Other herbicides avail-
able forweed control ofthese crops arenotalways aseffective, andforlettuce these
uses would result inadditional labor costs forgrowers who would have tocontrol the
weeds by hand or mechanically.”
Organic gardeners willattest tothefactthathighly poisonous sprays arenotneces-
sary tohave abumper crop oflettuce. Afewweeds among thelettuce willdonoharm
butmay distract orrepel certain pests. There cannever beanylegitimate excuse forus-
ingsprays thatareknown tobeharmful totheconsumer.When weeds arecontrolled by
hand ormechanically onaregular basis, they willnotharm thecrops andmay inaddi-
tion eliminate some unemployment.75.18.2 Parathion
Anorganophosphorus pesticide, parathion wasgiven infeed toratsandmice for80
weeks. It was carcinogenic to the adrenal glands of male and female rats.
75.18.3 Nitrofen
Nitrofen isanagricultural pesticide used asaselective contact herbicide forpre-
andpost-emer gent control ofannual grasses andbroad-leaf weeds onavariety offood
crops. Agricultural workers andmanufacturers areexposed through skin absorption and
byinhalation. Thegeneral public isexposed through ingestion duetopossible persistent
residual quantities ofnitrofen onfood crops. Adverse effects onagricultural workers fol-
lowing excessive exposure over prolonged periods included areduction ofhemoglobin
andwhite blood cellcounts, inhibition ofcholinesterase (anenzyme intheheart mus-
cle)andabnormalities inred-blood andserum-enzyme levels. Thechemical wasgiven
toratsandmice for78weeks. Itproved tobealiver carcinogen inmice ofboth sexes
and in female rats.
75.18.4 Maleic Hydrazide
Maleic hydrazide regulates thegrowth ofunwanted “suckers” onabout 90% ofthe
United States tobacco crop andisalso applied to10to15% ofdomestic potatoes and
onions toprevent sprouting after harvest. Itishighly toxic tohumans andhasproduced
central nervous system disturbances andliver damage inexperimental animals. Ithas
ledtoliver andother tumors insome mice. Ithasresulted ingenetic damage inplant and
animal systems, a fact that often signals a cancer -causing ef fect.
75.18.5 ETU2-Imidazolidinethione
Cancer -causing ETU, acontaminant andbreakdown product ofsome widely-used
fungicides, cancontaminate plants, whether sprayed onto leaves ormixed inthesoil.
Readily transmitted from roots toleaves, ETU persists foraslong astwoweeks. For
thisreason itisrecommended that thefungicides called ethylenebisdithiocarbamates
(EBDC), in use for 30 years, should not be applied to crops two weeks before harvest.
When ETU isgiven inlargedoses, ithasbeen shown tobecarcinogenic inrats,
tumorigenic inmice, andteratogenic (fetus-deforming) inratsandmice. Reports have
shown thatcooked spinach contained more ofthecancer -causing chemical than thecor-
responding rawspinach; aninadvertent addition tofood ofacarcinogen caused bythe
breakdown ofremaining fungicide when heated. Aheat-caused degradation product of
widely-used EBDC fungicide, ETU isfound 10to90times higher incooked tomatoes
than inrawtomatoes.


ety of means of adjustment and adaptation.
Man ispossessed oforgans andsystems oforgans that, intheir normal functions, act
reciprocally tosecrete andexcrete, adopt andexclude, totheendthatphysiological equi-
librium bemaintained. Withsuch marvelous means ofadjustment athiscommand, man
evolves nodisease, solong ashisneeds (supplies) arefilled andwaste isrejected. On-
lywhen hehasreduced hisfunctioning powers sothatwaste isincompletely expelled,nutrition isimpaired, secretion ischecked andvital processes arehampered does hebe-
come sick, i.e., his body embarks on an emer gency course of liberation and restoration.
Ifweexclude those “diseases” thatresult from poisoning bydrugs orsimilar toxic
substances taken infrom without, disease istheresult ofimpairments orimperfections
inthefunctions ofthebody which permit theaccumulation ofendogeneously generated
toxin, theimperfection offunction growing outofreduced functioning power (enerva-
tion) which, inturn, results from thedissipation oftheenergies oflife. This istosay,
disease isautogenerated. Itisnotanattack upon thebody byanoutside foe,butacon-
sequence of violations of the conditions of a healthy existence.
Since theprinciples andconditions ofvital aswell asofchemical actions arefixed
anddonotchange because theorganism issick, itbecomes plain thattheprofessionally-
induced “medicinal” disease cannot possess theintelligence orpower torestore health.
Recuperation andrecovery arenever theresults ofso-called medicines, butarealways
theresults oftheoperation oftheorganic forces andoftheconditions thatusually main-
tainhealth. Health istoberestored, asitistobepreserved, byconforming tothehealth-
ful conditions laid down by nature.
This willbemetwith theassertion thatgood effects areseen tofollow theadminis-
tration ofdrugs; wewilleven beassured thatdrugs canandoften dosave life.Therecord
ofexperience willbeappealed to,tosubstantiate thisposition. Case histories andcase
records willbeparaded inevidence. Such “evidence” takes noaccount oftheself-heal-
ingpowers andactivities oftheorganism and, atthesame time, assumes thatthedrug
effect isadditional tothatofthehealing work ofthesick body.True,there isadditional
action—the activity needed toresist andexpel thedrug. Thevital actions arechanged,
not helped.
Any benefit accruing tohealth must come, either through theordinary physiological
processes orthrough some temporary,even, perhaps dramatic modification ofthese to
meet special occasions, andthese canwork only with thenormal things oflife:food in-
stead ofpoison, restinstead ofstimulation,sleep instead ofnarcosis,airinstead ofdrug
fumes, warmth instead of mustard plasters, etc., etc.
Those substances thattheliving structure cannot, appropriate anduse, butmust re-
jectinastate ofhealth areequally nonusable andmust berejected inastate ofdisease
when the powers of life are lowered.
Drugs canonly further impair anddepress vital powers. Drugs morbidly occasion
thediversion ofthevery functions andprocesses upon which thebody must rely for
purgation andhealing. This may sodevitalize thebody thatitmust suspend itshealing
efforts—symptoms are suppressed.
Finally,itmust beobserved that, intreating thesick with drugs, nolesson istaught,
nodiscipline isenforced, andnocondition isinstituted thatisofanyvalue inhealth orin
asubsequent state ofillness. Theintellect ofthepatient isleftablank, hisbody ascene
ofdevastation. Thepatient does notknow why hewassick, norhow herecovered, and
he does not know how to avoid becoming sick again.

88.1. Introduction
88.1.1 History of V egetarianism
88.1.2 V egetarianism Defined
Youcannolonger cook andeatpetdogs insome parts ofthecountry.Within thepast
year,astate (Texas) legislature passed alawwhich prohibits thesaleofdogs forfood.
Itseems thatsome people inthisstate were raising andselling special breeds ofdogs to
certain immigrants who were used to eating them as part of their national diet.
Thepetlovers ofthisstate raised such anoutcry thatalawwasenacted toprotect
dogs from being used asfood. Ofcourse insome parts oftheworld, household pets
arestillpartoftheevening meal. Inthese countries, leftovers arenotfedtothefamily
dog—the leftovers are likely to be the dog!
Almost noAmerican would consider having Fido orRover onthedinner plate, yet
millions line up each day for a serving of old “Bossie” at the local hambur ger joint.
And they think vegetarians are strange!
Vegetarianism isoneofthemost popular approaches togood health through better
nutrition. Ithasbeen proven thatancient man was avegetarian first, andcame toeat
meat only much later inhisdevelopment. Thevegetarians were first, butthecarnivores
have gotten the upper hand in the past thousand years.
Because vegetarianism issuch aproven method forimproved health, andsince ithas
afirm basis inhistorical factandprecedent, everyone who wishes toteach andpractice
healthful living should beeminently knowledgeable about thetypes ofvegetarianism,
itspast, anditsrelationship totheLife Science diet. This lesson discusses vegetarianism
in this light.
88.1.1 History of Vegetarianism
Vegetarianism isnotnew.Ithasbeen around aslong asrecorded history,andbefore.
IntheFarEast, vegetarianism wasdevotedly practiced bytheHindus thousands ofyears
before America wasdiscovered. Inthewest, theancient Greeks glorified andpraised the
virtues ofvegetarianism. Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Ovid, andHippocrates were only a
few of the great classical thinkers who strictly avoided meat and flesh.
TheRomans gave ustheword “vegetarian” from theLatin word vegetare. This word
hasnothing whatsoever todowith “vegetables.” Instead, theword “vegetare” means “to
enliven” ortofillwith good spirits. When theRomans called someone a“vegetarian,”
they were notcalling hima“vegetable eater,”butinstead were referring tohimasavig-
orous person, sound in mind and body.
88.1.2 Vegetarianism Defined
Theoriginal definition ofvegetarian, then, isnotsomeone who eatsvegetables, but
a person who possesses radiant health, a lively mind, and a sound spirit.The common definition ofavegetarian is“someone who doesn’ teatanymeat.”
Meat includes chicken, fish, insects, andanyliving creature above therudimentary cel-
lular level. Inother words, youcanstillconsume small living microor ganisms, ormicro-
scopic “animals,” andstillbeconsidered avegetarian. Youcannot, however,eattunafish
once a week or turkey at Thanksgiving and still be a vegetarian.
This istheloose definition ofvegetarianism—the avoidance ofanimal flesh aspart
ofthediet. Thecorrect definition ofavegetarian, however,isthis: Avegetarian isaper-
son who practices living solely on plant pr oducts.
This means thatnotonly isavegetarian dietstrictly from theplant kingdom (no
eggs, nohoney,nodairy products), butsomeone who practices truevegetarianism will
notuseorwear anyproducts made from animals. This means noleather shoes, nofur
coats, nopurses orbillfolds made from cowhide, andsoon.Italsomeans thathousehold
products, such assoaps, glues, etc., made inpartorwhole from theremains ofanimals
are not used.
Obviously,fewpeople aretotal vegetarians. Inoursociety,itisvery difficult toavoid
allproducts made from animals. Itis,however,quite simple toavoid allfoods derived
from animals. Dietary vegetarianism isnotonly apractical reality,butanimperative
one. Wecannolonger afford toexploit ourresources toproduce expensive meat forthe
select few.

gy you have available to drive your engines with!
98.2.7 Exercise Results in Better Posture and Profile
People with lotsofenergytend towalk with their heads high andtheir bodies erect.
Those who have little energytend toslump soastoexpend aslittle energyaspossi-
bleinactivities. Asyoualready know,debility breeds debility,whereas goodness tends
tobeget more goodness. Thus theconstructive roleofexercise orvigorous activity be-
comes obvious.
When youhave theenergytoexpend, youuseitforends thatserve youbetter.And,
inusing energy,youmaintain thebasis foritsenhanced creation, thus insuring thebetter
usage you have made of it.
Withmore energyandanimproved personal disposition, youwillwalk prouder,pre-
sent anerect andconfident profile toothers and, asaresult, bebetter respected andad-
mired.
98.2.8 When You’re Fit, You Devote More Time to Those Around You
Bydevoting time toothers, you’ll beappreciated more. Under theheading ofaltru-
ismandbetter relationships wetreated thisaspect ofanexercise benefit. However,this
redundancy should be reinforcing.
Withincreased energywearenotreluctant tospend itinbehalf ofthose with whom
we’re involved inlife.We’remore willing todothose little favors thattake ourenergies,
but,inreality,become investments inothers. Inasmuch ashumans arenaturally altruisticbeing gregarious andcooperative innature, your investment oftime andenergy helping
others isusually well rewarded. Even ifnot,you’ve stillthesatisfaction ofdoing good
deeds. Good deeds areperformed forthepleasure ofdoing them, notnecessarily with a
view tofuture reward. Inthisworld andtime, however,most areimbued with little ener-
gyandaninvidious attitude thatdisposes them toripoffthose around them rather than
contribute to their better well-being.
You’ll bekind andconsiderate when youcanafford tobe!When being good tooth-
ersinvolves anexpenditure ofenergies youdon’thave, you’ll tend toconserve them
through defensive devices, some ofthem being withdrawn-ness, grouchiness tothose
who penetrate your wall with disagreeableness toallthatthreaten tomake aninroad up-
on your ener gies or resources.
Having anamiable disposition isavirtue born ofhealth andallthatitencompasses.
Even ifitrewards younot,itiswise tobeashuman asyoucanandforebear theeccen-
tricities of others with a philosophical understanding of where they’re coming from.
98.2.9 Detoxification and Body Purity Are Achieved Through Vigorous Exercise
Asyouknow,accelerated activity calls forincreased blood andlymph circulation.
Theroleofthese twoliquid transport systems istoinsure delivery ofnutrients (supplies)
where and when needed and, as well, to take wastes away to the or gans of elimination.
When circulation increases tomeet anincreased need fornutrient distribution tocells
andtheremoval oftheir wastes, there arecorollary benefits thatarenoteworthy.Inaper-
sonwith morbid materials inthesystem extraordinary tothose generated bytheactivity
itself, theincreased circulation carries these outalso. Thebody’ stendency todomore
than ithastoinorder tosatisfy aneed (theprinciple ofovercompensation) works toour
benefit.
Thus, sustained vigorous andstrenuous activity ofafewminutes ormore accom-
plishes extraordinary body cleansing, thus unburdening usofpreviously uneliminated
wastes andtoxic substances. Aspoisons inthesystem arealmost exclusively therespon-
sible factors fordebility,lowenergy,disease, andsuffering, exercise thus bears benefits
farbeyond making usfit.Exercise orvigorous exertion keeps thesystem vital bykeep-
ingitunimpaired bytheordinary andextraordinary morbid materials thataccrue from
normal wastes and our predilection for ingesting unwholesome food and drink.
Iliketothink thatdaily vigorous exercise ofafewminutes istheequivalent toaday
offasting though, tobesure, anoccasional dayoffasting plus exercise delivers incon-
ceivably enormous benefits.
98.2.10 Bouncy Buoyant Feelings Result from Vigorous Activity
Performance iseffortless andeasy without noticeable flagging orfatigue. Withsup-
plemusculature andample energies, you’ll find itasnap tobreeze through your days.
Quite literally,you’ll float! There’ll beagrace andspringiness toyour stepthat, perhaps,
you’ve witnessed in athletes.
Without burdensome and impairing toxins within, activities will beuntir-
ing—without fatigue. Though other lifeessentials properly metareessential tothisstate,
exercise or vigorous activity is the biggest key.
98.2.11 Vigorous Activity Eliminates Internal Conditions that Give Rise to
Qualms, Worries, and Stress
Studies andresearches have amply demonstrated thataregular activity program dis-
poses ustolessworry andfears. Webecome better able tocope with stressful situations.
Stressful situations donotdrain usnearly asmuch when we’re healthy andfitaswhen
we’re already inadrained condition. Theperson who cancope does notwither onthe
firing lineasmuch astheperson who isnotequipped tohandle highly-demanding situ-ations. What little nerve energyanunfit person hasisquickly exhausted inemotionally-
upsetting situations, whereas individuals who have made themselves fitthrough exercise
and healthful practices are ready for anything.
Most stress andworries arise from unstable anduncomfortable internal conditions
thatdrain thebody extraordinarily ofnerve energy.These drains exhibit asfears and
worries—fears that the demands of work and society cannot be successfully met.
Exercise, bykeeping usfitandcleansed, does notdispose ustoworries andqualms.
It enables us to handle most stresses “in stride”.
98.2.12 Because Exercise Occasions Extraordinary Body Cleansing, Less Sleeping
Time is Required for Regeneration of Nerve Energy
Yes,exercise helps ourbodies todetoxify andthus ittakes lesssleep toregenerate
nerve energy.Moreover,sleep ismore efficient, thatis,itisdeeper andaccomplishes its
purposes more surely and more quickly.
Inlesson 15welearned about therolesleep plays. Welearned thatamorbid body is
adisturbed body thatsquanders itsnerve energiesneedlessly trying tocope with thedis-
turbances towell-being occasioned bypoisons within. Thebody thus struggles toeject
them. But, with aconstant stream ofthem being introduced into thebody and, being
unable tocope with theneeds ofordinary waste elimination, thebody becomes progres-
sively more toxic until itinitiates a“crisis ofelimination” which wecallacold, flu,her-
pes, or other af fection.
Exercise issalutary inkeeping thebody cleansed. When thebody ispure—when it
isfreed ofenervating factors, itdoes notsquander asmuch nerve energy.Nerve energy
not wasted does not have to be regenerated. Thus less sleep is required.
Further,anundisturbed body canachieve deeper sleep levels forlonger periods. The
deeper the sleep, the more nerve ener gy the brain can generate within a given time.
Youcanreduce thetime youneed forsleep byavigorous exercise program. Asa
result you’ll have more time for self-improvement, vocations, and avocations.
98.2.13 Vigorous Activity and a Cleaner Internal Environment Reduce Libido (sex

Inner Knowing

A young man named Geor ge suf fered intensely from migraine headaches.
One night during a particularly painful siege he took to the streets in the
hope that walking would reduce his pain. Suddenly he was overcome by the
absolute knowledge that breathing pure oxygen would relieve him. He went
immediately to the emer gency hospital, won over the attending physician’ s
objections, breathed oxygen, was immediately relieved. Such treatment is
generally accepted in the medical fraternity today, but at the time it was
rarely used, and Geor ge had never heard of it. Another man named T om, in
the grip of a depression resulting from his loss of a job, awoke one morning
with the feeling that he would be very successful in the valve-
manufacturing business. T om’s acquaintanceship with valves was cursory.
He knew they did something inside pumps and engines, but he didn’ t know
just what. He had had no training in engineering and scarcely any in
business, but that didn’ t deter him. He went to a valve company and
arranged a tour of the premises. He was immediately enchanted, sure that
valve manufacturing was for him. T wo weeks later he met at a party a man
who identified himself as an inventor. He drew designs of his new valve on
the hostess’ s tablecloth. T wo days later T om and the inventor found
themselves in the bank arranging financing. T oday their valve
manufacturing firm is one of the lar gest in the nation.
 The Latent Faculty

Intuition is the power by which all things are done. Nobody ever built a
building by piling blocks. A building is built first in somebody’ s mind;
someone sees it towering to the sun, clear and solid in his imagination, long
before the first physical movement is made to construct it. Those who go
through life totaling facts accumulate only the smallest percentage of the
knowledge that exists in the universe. That kind of person wants facts to tell
them what to do, but facts never do; there simply aren’ t enough of them.
“In every man,” writes Rudolf Steiner, “there are latent faculties by means
of which he can acquire for himself knowledge of the higher worlds.” It is
inner certitude, intuitive hunch, that leads us into right action. W e take
inordinate pride in the powers of our reason, but we have put the cart before
the horse. W e actually seldom follow our reason; our reason usually follows
us. A look at the world’ s history shows us how true this is. Reason told
Columbus the world was flat, intuition that it was round. Reason would
have had him sail the safe seas around his native Europe; intuition led him
across uncharted waters to a new world. Reason told Pasteur that disease
was caused by fevers of the blood; intuition led him to search out bacteria
and a whole new area of preventive medicine. W e attain skill in works and
action when we learn to trust ourselves completely to an inner impulsion
and to cease acting in response to the events and circumstances around us.

Doctrine of Mind over Matter

There are three principal points in the doctrine of mind over matter which
must be clearly understood. (1) An invisible but real cosmic medium exists
which supports the apparent world. (2) There is an established connection
between this real but unseen world and the illusory world of the senses. (3)This connection may be discerned and this relationship controlled by our
disciplined consciousness.
Taking these points in order, we are struck immediately by the fact that it is
very dif ficult to prove the existence of the cosmic medium. Our methods of
scientific investigation have thus far done little to subject consciousness to
the laboratory microscope, though investigations of parapsychology have
been somewhat fruitful. Dr. J. B. Rhine’ s experiments at Duke University
have proved successfully that there exists some method of communication
between minds beyond the purely sensual, but this whole area of human
existence lies lar gely uninvestigated, like a strange and dark continent.
People have dreams in which they see themselves doing a certain thing at a
certain place, and a few days later actually find themselves in that same
place doing that same thing. People report the sudden knowledge of a
friend’ s good or bad fortune, the inner conviction that a house is burning
down or of a loved one’ s pain or danger. Never a day passes without
countless manifestations of this kind being recorded around the world. The
dark continent of the uninvestigated human psyche beckons us. When we
finally have given it our complete attention, the world will witness an
evolutionary leap the likes of which have never been dreamed.

Cosmic Medium

The cosmic medium that connects one person with another and one mind
with another is the universal intelligence that permeates all things, all
people, all places. By it each of us has an umbilical tie with our neighbor,
for in a very real and actual sense each of us is one with our neighbor, since
the same basic mind is in everyone. As soon as someone is finally
convinced that the principle of infinite multiplicity is not valid in any
conception of the universe, then they finally are led to the concept of inner
unity, the absolute oneness of all things. When this new principle has really
come home to them, they realize that there is only one life at work in the
universe and it is in them as well as in their neighbor. They see that it workssecretly in the heart of all things, and by this insight they are able not only
to influence its manifestation within themselves but also its manifestation in
other persons, in other things.
The world that is perceived through our senses is only a partially revealed
representation of the world that exists within the mind. Strange, then, that
the things that we encounter in space and time seem so very real to us. W e
knock upon a desk and know it is hard and that it is there. But the existence
of the desk as an extension of an idea is a concept we seldom entertain. W e
spend most of our days thinking and planning and scheming, trying to
originate ideas, but our actions are always predicated upon the fact that the
things that we encounter in the world are the things that are truly influential.
When we are able to perceive all things as manifestations of thought
concepts, then we look beyond each to the idea that gave it form. Once we
have turned our gaze in that direction we have begun to deal with the basic
creative power of the universe and we have begun to see the possibilities in
the second point in the doctrine of mind over matter, the established
connection between the world of consciousness and the world of substance.

Enamoring Ego

“The intellect by itself moves nothing,” said Aristotle, and modern
psychology has af firmed this law. We encounter those circumstances that
reflect the quality of our deeper consciousness. In short, we see only that
which we are, and it is this enamoring quality of our ego that deludes us
about the world. Most people keep running into the same situations over
and over again. Some are accident prone; others are eternally fretting about
their health; still others make a failure of one enterprise after another. Some
lives take on the tenor of an epic tragedy as fate seems to heap one
misfortune on top of another. But it is not misfortune that such people are
encountering; merely the outer manifestation of the inner working of their
own minds.Life keeps bringing us into contact with those things which we fail to
understand. As long as our consciousness does not grow, as long as our
inner sight does not penetrate, that long will we continue to run into the
circumstance that defeats us, until our heads are bloody and bowed, until
we finally understand or are beaten completely. The established connection
between the unseen world of the mind and the outer world of the senses is
this: the outer world is always a projection of the inner. Its emotional
content is the same as the emotional content of the consciousness beholding
it; its influence on us is always according to what we perceive; and what we
perceive comes from within us, not from outside.

Magic Images

The first two points in the doctrine of mind over matter allow us to
understand how we are slaves to circumstance, how we never truly
originate action, but take action as a result of being stimulated into it. These
two points, if finally accepted without relief, would be a hopeless concept
of life indeed, but in the third point of the doctrine we find the leaven by
which the whole makeup of life is changed from the deadened aura of
hopelessness into the rosy-hued sparkle of anticipation. The third point in
the doctrine tells us that we can alter our environment and our
circumstances by disciplining our consciousness.
“Magical operations,” says the French author and occultist Éliphas Lévi,
“are the exercise of a power which is natural but superior to the ordinary
powers of nature. They are the result of a science and of habits which exalt
the human will above its usual limits.” W ill, alone, is not the answer,
however. Will, alone, is more often a pathway to pain than to power. When
we think of willpower most of us think of exercising our will against other
people and other things, but the only place where our willpower can be used
effectively is in disciplining our

ox	has	no	relation	to	smallpox	and	cannot	immunize

against	it.	A	few	will	show	the	trend	in	this	direction.

Joseph	Swan,	in	his	comprehensive	work,	"THE	VACCINATION	PROBLEM"

(pp.	87-102)	gives	the	results	of	government	surveys	and	reports	of	doctors	and

scientists	who	investigated	this	matter.	He	reports	Sir	Thomas	Watson	(the

distinguished	surgeon	and	a	believer	in	vaccination)	who	said:

"A	little	consideration	will	suffice	to	show	that	the	vaccine	disease	is
sui	generis
.

In	no	sense	does	it	own	its	origin	to	smallpox.	There	is	no	such	relation	between

the	two...The	true	attitude	of	cowpox	towards	smallpox	is	an	attitude	of

antagonism."	—British	Medical	Journal,	Jan.	17,	1880

The	renowned	bacteriologist,	E.	M.	Crookshank	stated:

"COWPOX	HAS	NEVER	BEEN	CONVERTED	INTO	HUMAN	SMALLPOX,

AND	IN	THEIR	CLINICAL	HISTORY	AND	EPIDEMIOLOGY,	NATURAL

COWPOX	AND	HUMAN	SMALLPOX	ARE	SO	DIFFERENT,	THAT	THE

COMPARATIVE	PATHOLOGIES	IS	NO	MORE	PREPARED	TO	ADMIT

THEIR	IDENTITY	THAN	HE	IS	PREPARED	TO	ADMIT	THE	IDENTITY	OF

COWPOX	AND	SHEEP-POX	OR	SMALLPOX	AND	THE	PLAGUE."	—Dr.

Crookshank,	“Bacteriology	and	Infectious	Diseases”,	Fourth	Edition,	p.328

Dr.	(later	Sir)	William	Osler,	one	of	the	most	highly	respected	medical

authorities,	although	an	advocate	of	vaccination	was	forced,	by	factual	evidence

to	admit	the	dangers	attending	this	practice.	He	did	not	endorse	Jenner’s

exaggerated	promises	of	lifetime	immunity	without	danger.	In	his	"Principles

and	Practice	of	Medicine",	p.	330,	8th	Edition,	he	wrote:

"With	the	greatest	care	(in	vaccinating)	certain	risks	are	present...A	quiescent

malady	may	be	lighted	into	activity	by	vaccination.	This	has	happened	with

congenital	syphilis,	also	with	tuberculosis."	(emphasis	supplied)

WHAT	HAPPENED	TO	JENNER’S	LIFETIME	IMMUNITY?
	When	Jenner	promised	the	world	that	his	cowpox	vaccinations	would	give

lifetime	immunity	"with	no	dangerous	results"	as	with	the	usual	inoculations,	he

admitted	that	inoculation	had	always	been	accompanied	with	danger	that	all

recognized.	It	was	not	long,	however,	before	Jenner’s	cowpox	vaccinations	were

followed	by	death	and	disease	and	that	practice	was	also	branded	as	dangerous

and	deadly.

Regarding	the	increased	death	rate	due	to	vaccination,	Herbert	Spencer	states	in

his	Facts	and	Comments:

"Jenner	and	his	disciples	have	assumed	that	when	the	vaccine	has	passed

through	the	patient’s	system	he	is	safe	against	smallpox,	and	there	the	matter

ends...I	propose	to	show	that	there	the	matter	does	not	end.	The	interference	with

the	order	of	Nature	has	various	sequences	other	than	those	counted	upon.	Some

have	been	made	known.

"A	Parliamentary	Return	issued	in	1880	(No.	392)	shows...that	there	was	a

decrease	of	6,600	(per	million	births)	in	the	deaths	of	infants	from	all	causes;

while	the	deaths	caused	by	eight	specified	diseases,	either	directly

communicable	or	exacerbated	by	the	effects	of	vaccination,	increased	from

20,524	to	41,353	per	million	births	per	annum—more	than	double.	It	is	clear	that

far	more	were	killed	by	these	other	diseases	than	were	saved	from	smallpox."

Vaccination	was	made	compulsory	in	England	in	1853.	Judging	by	the	data	from

the	above	quoted	Parliamentary	Return,	it	would	appear	that	after	27	years	of

enforced	vaccination,	the	death	rate	increased	only	among	the	vaccinated

diseases.	The	decline	in	deaths	from	other	causes	was,	no	doubt,	brought	about

by	the	improvement	in	sanitation	and	nutrition	that	came	into	prominence	about

that	time.	It	was	around	1840	that	Sylvester	Graham,	Dr.	Trall	and	other	pioneers

of	the	new	health	movement	emphasized	the	importance	of	correct	nutrition	and

through	this	teaching	they	helped	raise	the	health	standards	that	saved	many

lives.	If	vaccination	had	not	been	persisted	in,	the	great	improvements	in

sanitation	and	nutrition	would	have	had	a	better	chance	to	eliminate	disease.	But

as	it	is,	we	now	have	a	greater	scourge	of	killer	diseases	than	at	any	other	time	in

recorded	history;	and	much	of	it	is	traceable	to	vaccination.

JENNER’S	ATTITUDE	TOWARD	COMPLAINTS	AND	DISASTER	OF

VACCINATION
	Dr.	W.	R.	Hadwen	who	had	considerable	experience	with	smallpox	patients	in

the	hospitals	of	England	and	had	seen	the	tragic	results	of	vaccination,	gave

lecture	in	Liverpool	where	he	discussed	the	typical	excuses	and	evasions	made

by	Jenner	regarding	the	complaints	and	failures	of	his	vaccinations.	Excerpts

from	this	lecture	are	as	follows:

"Now,	after	Jenner	had	written	a	paper	on	this	wonderful	legend	of	the

dairymaids,	there	came	forward	on	every	hand	no	end	of	cow-doctors	who	had	a

large	experience	in	the	matter,	and	had	literally	flooded	him	with	evidence	of

people	who	had	had	cowpox	vaccinations	and	later	contracted	smallpox.

"Here	was	proof	that	he	could	not	ignore...But	Jenner	was	one	of	the	most

resourceful	men	in	excuse	making	that	ever	lived;	let	anyone	read	his	and	there

will	be	no	difficulty	in	coming	to	that	conclusion.

"‘Ay’,	said	Jenner,	‘There	are	two	kinds	of	smallpox;	there	is	a	genuine	kind	and

a	spurious	kind,	(laughter	from	the	audience)	and	those	who	have	been

vaccinated	and	had	smallpox	afterwards,	they	have	been	vaccinated	with

spurious	cowpox,	but	those	who	have	been	vaccinated	and	have	not	had

smallpox	afterwards,	they	have	been	inoculated	with	the	genuine	variety.’"

(laughter)

Jenner	had	no	answer	when	asked	how	to	tell	the	difference	between	spurious

and	genuine	cowpox.	Neither	he	nor	anyone	else	was	able	to	find	a	safe	vaccine,

yet	the	vaccinations	were	continued	without	interruption	with	the	same

questionable	vaccines	that	had	no	proof	of	purity	or	assurance	of	safety.	The

people	reminded	Jenner	that	a	person	is	just	as	dead	whether	he	died	of	spurious

or	genuine	smallpox	and	it	was	little	comfort	to	know	that	he	and	the

government	approved	of	the	vaccine	used.

When	Jenner	was	confronted	with	the	evidence	that	a	group	of	people	had	been

vacc


 client has to focus on the pain
while EFT isapplied. In the first instance, the client has to focus on the pain and to ask
questions about it. During a session, you can ask them:
When did the pain first begin?
The answer to this may be quite revealing especially if it occurred around
the time of emotional distress. Y ou can make notes of any answers as you
question your clients and this will help you to ensure the appropriate set up
phrases are in place.
Here are some example questions as a starting point:
x Consider where the pain is most prevalent x How would you describe the
pain?
x When does the pain feel worse?
x What emotions are attached to these feelings of pain? x Where do you feel
the emotion in your body?
If you have a client who is experiencing long-term and acute pain, you may
notice that through applying EFT, feelings of pain or discomfort may move
to other parts of the body. This can be a surprise for new therapists but it
may happen often. As a prime example, the client may feel the pain change
from the knee to the hip and the acute pain may end up as a dull ache. This is
a recognised phenomenon known as ‘chasing the pain’. It is called this
because EFT is then applied to whichever area of the body the pain has
moved to.
Inform the client that you need to know whereabouts in the body the pain is
at the time of asking as you need to work on that area. Y our goal is to
persevere until you have managed to reduce the sensation of pain for them.
This pain chasing session may take some time but it is very important so as
to allow any hidden emotions to emer ge.
There has been much research into the benefits of using EFT on those who
have serious health conditions such as:x Diabetes
x Parkinson’ s disease
x Cancer
x Chronic fatigue syndrome etc.
We would recommend that only experienced EFT practitioners work on the
most serious of diseases but certainly many health conditions can be helped
through the regular use of EFT.
By now hopefully, you will have seen the link between emotional and
physical health and the benefits of enabling your body to heal in a way that
is completely natural. Because you are working with the body’ s ener gy
system and allowing the ener gy to flow freely throughout the body, you
provide the perfect foundation for health and well-being. Problematic
symptoms often disappear once the core emotional or physical problem is
found.
Having good communications skills will stand you in good stead and enable
you to help the client understand the benefits of practicing EFT regularly and
by learning all the techniques, they can continue the treatment in between
sessions.
Asking leading questions is paramount and include:
x Are you holding onto feelings of anger or resentment?
x Do you blame anyone for having this illness or problem?
x Did any traumatic events happen to you around the time you became ill? x
How do you feel during the very worst symptom?
If you have a client who hurts too much for tapping, then instead, simply
press on the correct point and tell them to focus on the breath as they
do so.
Visualisation technique
In addition to tapping, clients can also practice visualisation techniques and
these can be highly beneficial in helping the body to heal. For example,
someone who is in a great deal of pain may find the traditional tapping
methods too painful but through visualization, they can give their immunesystems a boost helping to fight back against any health conditions. The
more visual they can be, the better. To do this, they must focus with intent on
the tapping or even ‘holding’  pressure and try to visualise the body healing.
Some people use traditional meditation tools such as visualising colour.
You will find that some clients will have a multitude of health problems -
some of which will be very painful while others can be less so. Never
attempt to diagnose medical conditions and always advise clients to seek out
professional medical help.
Conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome are common because they are
often synonymous with stress and anxiety and although it’ s a chronic
disorder, once stress levels are reduced, often, the symptoms begin to ease.
Symptoms include:
x Constipation x Diarrhoea
x Abdominal pain
Doctors typically treat the symptoms and try to manage pain but EFT looks
at the emotional impact and potential triggers which include:
x Depression
x Stress
x Low self-esteemx Traumatic event x Anxiety attacksTo help a client who has the pain of IBS, the emphasis must be on their
letting go or releasing any deeply rooted issues and to concentrate on any
negative feelings that are being experienced. Many people are
embarrassedby conditions such as IBS or Crohn’ s disease (another health
condition af fected by stress) and this is often associated with anger, fear, and
embarrassment.
Useful phrases include:
Even though I am gripped by abdominal pain, I allow myself to be fr ee from negative emotions  and
pain.
You can amend these phrases to suit the condition and the individual.
Sleep
Many people who experience emotional or physical distress will find it
difficult to sleep and the harder they try, the more dif ficult it becomes.
Sleeplessness can become a bad habit and over a long-term period, it can
eradicate health and impact health substantially.
Having a good night’ s sleep certainly makes daily life so much easier and
when sleeplessness continues, it’ s important to focus on the underlying cause
of your client’ s sleep problems. Some people drift off to sleep very quickly
but continuously wake up through the night and find themselves not able to
go back to sleep. Others will feel that they have had a good night’ s sleep but
are still feeling tired and listless because their sleep is unproductive.
It’s important to note that everyone has dif ferent sleep patterns. Some people
average 5 to 6 hours a night and this is fine for them, another person will
need 7 to 8 hours. Sleep patterns will change through age too and sometimes
as a result of medication. For EFT to be beneficial with sleep problems, as
usual, the underlying cause must be identified.
Here are some questions that will help you to establish any root causes:
x When did your sleep problems first start?
x Have there been any substantial changes in your life that happened around
the same time as your inability to sleep?
x How long does it take on average for you to fall asleep?
x Do you usually fall asleep easily but then wake up several times throughthe night? x When you wake up, is it then dif ficult to return to sleep?
When EFT is used on a daily basis, your clients are likely to notice an
improvement in their sleep patterns. EFT should be used each evening
before the client goes to bed. This is the best time as the client is likely to
find EFT relaxing. The client needs to create phrases (with your help) that
best suit their individual problems.
Even though I am unable to sleep right now, I choose to r elax
When the client has finished choosing their setup phrase, they can tap on the
meridian points using negative statements (to disrupt ener gy levels) such as:
I won’ t be able to sleep tonight or, I never sleep right thr ough the night.
They should use whatever negative thoughts pop into their heads. Then, a
positive sleep statement is introduced into the EFT setup phrase such as:
Even though I am wide awake, I feel deeply r elaxed
The client must choose positive words as they tap on the remaining meridian
points and make this become a healthy pattern before bedtime. Often people
have poor sleep hygiene habits and by this, we mean going to bed at varying
times or, drinking alcohol before trying to sleep. Here is a list of bad sleep
habits to avoid:
x Avoid alcohol or caf feine before going to bed x Make sure that the room
temperature is comfortable x Make sure that the bedroom is uncluttered x
Make sure that the room dark
x Remove any distractions i.e. T elevision
Swap negative habits for positive ones such as:
x Take a warm bath
x Read a book
x Listen to music
x Listen to a meditation CD x Use essential oils
Many people find that their anxieties magnify at night and so, this constant
circulation of negative thoughts make sure they are unable to relax
sufficiently to let sleep claim them. W e all know that worrying has no
benefit on the body at all and so, finding out why anxiety is present can helpthe client to let go of any anxious feelings. Ask your clients to determine
their level of anxieties by using the W orry Scale and this is where they will
rate themselves from between 1-5 when they read out the following
statements:
x I don’ t worry about things
x I am under pressure, I tend to worry a lot x I’m always worried
x I never worry about anything
x I feel overwhelmed by my worries By using the scale, this gives them
proof of their anxiety levels ensuring that they realise they must do
something about it. Once the levels have been established, they need to
create the appropriate setup phrase such as:
Even though I’m worried about my boss, I accept myself and I choose to
sleep knowing this will
enable me to concentrate
The setup phrases are highly personal and so, once you have shown your
clients the type of phrases to use, it will help them to create their own in the
future and they can always adapt and fine-tune these important statements.
