deposited directly ontheskin. Underarm sprays,
forexample, work byactually clogging thesweat pores with analuminum chloride com-
pound. Mouth sprays killallbacteria inthemouth, including theso-called beneficial va-
riety.
Besides these sprays, there arealso foot deodorizers andhairfresheners. Evidently
most people stink greatly orthink they dobecause theamounts ofspray androll-on de-
odorants sold is enormous.
Why dopeople smell badandfeelthatthey must usesome chemical todeodorize
their bodies?Basically,animproper dietisthecause ofallbody odors inalmost every case. Foods
ofanimal origin (meat, eggs, milk, etc.) arepoorly assimilated andfulloffoul-smelling
toxins. When these foods areeaten, thewaste products areeliminated from theskin and
anunpleasant odor results. When allanimal foods, junk foods, andsugar areeliminated
from the diet, all body odors eventually disappear.
ANatural Hygienist oraperson who follows thesuggested Life Science dietwill
never experience badbody odors. Unpleasant odors from thebody indicate thatsome-
thing iswrong inthedietorlifestyle. Covering orhiding these odors with sprays and
chemicals does not correct the underlying problem which causes these smells.
Ifbody odor isaproblem, then frequent washing isthebest short-term solution and
animprovement inthedietistheonly long lasting answer.Spraying andapplying chem-
icals toevery body orifice cancause irritation anddamage. Theperson concerned about
his health and well-being will quickly abandon all such products.
51.2.4 Home, Sweet Home?
Next toAmerican bodies, thesmelliest place may bethehome. Cooking odors, cig-
arette smoke, furnace emissions, andbathroom odors seem topermeate ourhouseholds.
Many people trytoremove these odors with airfresheners, such assprays, wicks, can-
dles, cakes, etc.
Allofthese airfresheners work inoneoffour ways: 1)They useoneodor tocover
another; 2)They coat thenasal passages with anoilfilm; 3)They deaden thesense of
smell with anerve chemical; or4)They deactivate theunwanted odor (such asthrough
charcoal absorption).
Actually,very fewdeodorizers work byactually removing theodor.Most simply
contaminate theairwith another foreign substance, andcertainly donot“freshen” the
air.Many times anartificial fragrance isreleased thatsimply smells stronger than the
offending odor. These fragrances often irritate the eyes and air passages.
More remarkable aretheairfresheners thatdotheir work bytemporarily “killing”
ordeadening thesense ofsmell. This issortoflikeblinding yourself toavoid seeing
anunpleasant sight. One such airfreshener,advertised foruseinthe“nursery,”contains
carbolic acid which causes serious burns andtissue destruction when applied totheskin.
There isone safe and recommended airfreshener: anopen window.Ahealthy
lifestyle willalso mean thatmost household odors willnever even occur.Forexample,
cooking andgrease odors arecommon inmeat-eating households. Cigarette, cigar,and
pipe smoke arealsocommon contributors tothefoulairproblem. Anonsmoking house-
hold thatfollows apredominantly rawfood dietwillnever experience most ofthehouse-
hold odors thatplague many Americans. Awell-ventilated house willalsomean anend
toodors. Even inthewinter,thehouse should beopened briefly toallow ahealthy ex-
change of air between the inside and the outside.
51.2.5 How Clean Is Your Kitchen?
The most dangerous and physically harmful ofallhousehold chemicals arethe
cleansers—oven cleaners, deter gents, scouring powders, toilet bowl cleaners, bleaches,
drain cleaners, andsoon.Most ofthese chemical cleaners arenotneeded; indeed, many
safe substitutes exist. Many people continue using these harmful household chemicals
simply because they are not aware of their dangers.
51.2.6 Oven Cleaners
“Danger: May cause burns toskin andeyes. Irritant tomucous membranes. Dan-
ger—contains lye.Keep outofreach ofchildren. Donotgetonexterior surfaces. Keep
away from electrical connections. Iftaken internally orsprayed into eyes, callphysi-
cian.”—from the label of “Easy-Of f Oven Cleaner.”Oven cleaners harmed over 3,000 people inoneyear alone. Their sprays contain
powerful chemicals thatdrift around thekitchen andpenetrate theskin, eyes andlungs.
Worse yet,these dangerous, unpleasant chemicals arehidden byadded fragrances so
they are more likely to be breathed in.
And such cleaners aretotally unnecessary.True,ovens canbecome thefilthiest area
ofanykitchen. Butifthedietischanged sothatmeat iseliminated andallcooking is
curtailed, then theoven willnotbecome dirty orrequire anextensive cleaning. Ifcook-
ingdoes occur,anysplattering should becleaned upassoon astheoven cools. Only
when stains anddrippings arecontinually reheated andbaked does astrong cleaning
agent become necessary.
Better yet,eliminate themessy oven. Thehygienic orLife Science dietadvocates a
100% rawfood diet. Some people even selltheir stove oruseitasacounter area when
they adopt theallrawdiet. Even ifcooking isstillused attimes, itshould beintheform
ofsteaming oroccasional baking. Such conservative food preparation practices elimi-
nate thedirty oven, theharmful cleaners, andthehours ofwork spent incooking and
cleaning.
51.2.7 Other Household Cleaners
Drain cleaners aresimilar tooven cleaners. They toohave ahigh percentage oflye
andthey attack waste andgrease buildup from food disposal. Drain andtoilet cleaners
account forabout 10,000 injuries every year.Worse yet,ifthedrain remains clogged af-
terthecleanser ispoured in,then adangerous caustic solution develops which gives off
toxic fumes.
Bleaches areoften used inthehouse, andgreat care must betaken nottomixbleach-
eswith other cleansers. InNovember 1975, a68-year -old Maine woman mixed bleach
with ammonia toremove eggstains from awindow.When shebrought thepailofmixed
bleach andammonia intothehouse, thefumes killed her.Thewoman’ sniece discovered
herandtried togive mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Shewasalso killed bythefumes in
the house.
Toilet bowl cleaners areeither thein-bowl orin-tank variety.Thein-bowl cleaners
contain extremely strong acids andrelease fumes. Thein-tank cleaners arealmost inef-
fective, according to Consumer Reports, in either removing stains or odors.
Scouring powders contain ableaching agent andacoarse polishing agent. Over
22,000 people in1973 received hospital treatment forinjuries associated with scouring
powders and other caustic cleaning agents.
What’ slefttohelp youclean your house? Well,first remember thatmost cleaning
should bemechanical andnotchemical. Dirt, dust, andstains canusually beremoved
with asimple andharmless deter gent andsome work. Allinall,almost every chemical
household cleaner canbereplaced byacombination ofoneormore ofthese simple and
inexpensive products: soap, baking soda, vinegar,borax, andammonia. Withtheexcep-
tionofammonia (which hasnoxious fumes), allofthese aretotally harmless when used
by themselves to aid cleaning.
Here aresome ideas onhow tousethese substances asasubstitute fortheexpensive
and toxic household cleaners:
General surface cleaning :Several tablespoons ofvinegar dissolved inabucket of
water. Baking soda may be used to scour surfaces.
Bleaching :Useborax instead ofchemical bleaches. Itwhitens without harming the
fabric, regardless of color or weave.
Utensil cleaning :Adiluted solution ofammonia (caution) canbeused forreally
greasy pots andpans. Ofcourse ifyouarefollowing acorrect diet, youwill nothave
“greasy” utensils at all.Oven cleaning :Again, thisshould notbeneeded onaproper diet. Ifitdoes require
cleaning, usebaking sodas ascouring powder andammonia tocutthrough thegrease.
Always be careful to avoid breathing ammonia fumes.
Drain Cleaning :Slow drains canbeopened bypouring hotwater down them, and
then adding about ahalfcupofwashing soda. Waitaminute, andthen flush again with
hot water. A small plunger can be used to unclog and loosen the drain.
51.2.8 Whiter Than White And Other Laundry Lies
Deter gents andsoaps arethemost bought-and-used item ofanyproduct inthegro-
cery store—including milk, bread, oranyother food. They also cause more poisonings


oid.
“Dr.Claude Culvenor oftheAnimal Health Division oftheAustralian Common-
wealth Scientific andIndustrial Research Organization hasworked onthissubject and
studied thisalkaloid inpasture weeds. Heisparticularly conversant with heliotrope, a
weed from the same plant family as comfrey.
“He notes, ‘Atleast four ofthese alkaloids areknown tobecarcinogens, anditis
probable thatthetype found incomfrey isalso carcinogenic. While itisunlikely that
anybody eating comfrey insmall quantities would sufferserious effects, itsregular use
asagreen vegetable could cause chronic liver damage orworse. Plants inthesame fam-
ily,have caused human poisonings: intheUSSR, Africa, India, andAfghanistan after
their accidental consumption inbread over aperiod ofoneortwoyears. Theevidence of
these outbreaks, considering theamount ofthealkaloid wehave measured incomfrey,
suggests thatdaily consumption ofseveral young leaves oftheplant over asimilarly
lengthy period will lead to serious disease.’ ”
There arenocures incomfrey andweshould eschew thisherb. Itis,however,useful
intheorganic garden asanexcellent mulch andasanaddition tothecompost pileasit
contains alargeamount ofnitrogen. Itsprolific blossoms also attract honey bees tothe
garden ensuring proper pollination to all crops.
65.2.4 Ginseng (Panax Schinseng)
Ginseng isanherb with along, flesh root thatisoften used asamedicine. Itisa
lowplant with three leaves onthetop.Each leafismade upoffiveleaflets. Ginseng has
small greenish-yellow flowers. Some ofthese flowers later produce scarlet berries. TheChinese useginseng to“treat” many illnesses. Thename ofthisplant comes from Chi-
nese words meaning likeness ofaman,because oftheshape ofitsroot. Those shaped
most like a human body are said to be the most valuable.
American ginseng iscultivated chiefly inMichigan, Minnesota, Oregon, andWis-
consin. The plant glows wild in pans of the United States and Canada.
Ginseng isastimulant forthecentral nervous system. Itisoften taken asatonic, a
“pick meup,” tosharpen thememory,suppress coughs, ward offcolds, etc.This drug
effect will eventually lead toextreme enervation andchronic diseases duetothecon-
stant stimulation and suppression of symptoms.
65.2.5 Cayenne Pepper (Capsicum Minimum)
Theofficial name, capsicum, isderived from theGreek word “tobite,” andasingle
taste ofthissubstance willconvince youwhy itwassonamed. This “biting” effecton
thetongue andmouth willgive youaclue astowhat effectithasontheinternal diges-
tivetract. Itisapowerful irritant andpoison. Itistaken foritsstimulant effect which are,
inreality,nature’ sefforts toeliminate thispoison assoon aspossible. Cayenne pepper
should never be taken in any form, in any amount.
65.2.6 Peppermint (Memha Piperitu)
Peppermint isafavourite beverage allover theworld. Itistaken forasuppressive
effect onthedigestive system tocontrol diarrhea, spasms, andrelieve indigestion. Pep-
permint isvery high intannin which isavery astringent acid anditsuseresults inener-
vation and impairment of normal metabolism.
There aremany other herbs thatarecommonly used butweshould eschew them all.
They donothave anyproperty to“cure” andthey contribute toillhealth duetotheir
poisonous products.
65.2.7 Aloe Vera
Aloe vera isacactus thatgrows outdoors intropical andsubtropical climates and
indoors everywhere else. When youbreak open oneofitsleaves, youseeathick, clear
liquid ooze out.It isthisliquid thatisclaimed tobea“cure” forburns, ulcers, arthritis,
diabetes, high blood pressure, psoriasis, shingles, hemorrhages, post-sur gery treatment
andmore. Itisapplied topically andtaken internally inaliquid form. However,instead
ofcuring anything, itisactually atoxic substance. Itcontains allontoin which results in
thesame adverse effects asthealkaloid ofcomfrey.Acathartic, itspurgative properties
areduetothree pentosides (barbaloin, iso-barbaloin, andbeta-barbaloin) andtoaresin.
The resin is aloetin.
Aloe emodin occurs inthefreestate andasglycoside invarious species ofaloe and
isextremely irritating tothedelicate linings oftheintestinal tract. Thebody attempts to
dischar ge this poison quickly. Hence, its pur gative ef fects.
Butwhat about theclaims? Many people experience thattheir sores, burns, andul-
cersheal almost immediately after applying aloe vera, where otherwise would heal very
slowly.The body iscontinually striving toward health andwill doallitcantoprotect
itself from anypoisonous substances. When aloe vera isapplied toanulcer,thebody
closes offthatopening asquickly asitcantoblock theentrance ofthatpoisonous sub-
stance thereby protecting itself. This gives thefalse impression ofproper healing. How-
ever,when theulcer wasanoutlet fortoxic materials, thisvital outlet isclosed offand
toxins arekept inside thebody.Now anew outlet must befound. Either other ulcers will
form or more serious diseases will result.
Ifyoudonotinterfere with bodily intelligence, healing willtake place. To“intelli-
gently donothing” isthebest advice forallulcers, psoriasis, etc.That is,simply followtheteachings ofLife Science/ Natural Hygiene andyour body willsurely bevital enough
to heal itself promptly.
65.3. Acupuncture
The principles ofacupuncture arebased oncellparalysis. The idea onwhich Chinese
medicine isfounded isthe“Doctrine oftheTwoPrinciples: YangandYin.”According to
thisphilosophy,everything intheuniverse isgoverned bythese twoprinciples. Yangis
themasculine principle, Yinthefeminine. They areopposite inallaspects. Yangstands
forheaven, Yinforearth. Yangisheat, Yiniscold. Life anddeath, strong andweak, pos-
itive andnegative, dayandnight, dryandwet, hard andsoft, light anddark—all these
areYang-Y in—pairs ofopposites. Unless these twoforces areinexact balance, accord-
ingtoChinese folklore, health, peace, andwell-being areimpossible toattain. When the
relationship between YangandYingetoutofbalance within aperson’ sbody,illness re-
sults. The task ofthephysician, then, istorestore health byrenewing theequality of
Yang and Y in, according to the Chinese acupuncturist.
TheChinese regard acupuncture asacomplete medical system based upon theprin-
ciple thatman isapartofnature. Since nature isprecise, then therefore, man isprecise.
Predictable order reigns innature andinman. They claim thatdisturbance inthator-
derresults inillness anditistheacupuncturist’ swork torestore thatorder andthere-
by“cure” theillness. Byinserting hair-thin needles into certain points onthebody,
acupuncturists treat disease andmalfunctions ofevery organofthebody.TheChinese
people believe that channels ofenergy,called “meridians” runthrough thebody.In
acupuncture, needles are inserted at specific points along the meridians.
Illness isexplained interms ofdisharmony between man andnature, andinman,
between YinandYang. Illnesses areeither YinorYangandthetherapy used to“cure”
them will be either Y in or Y ang.
Ch’i comes into thebody atbirth andleaves atdeath. During person’ slifetime it
flows inaspecific andcontinuous pattern intheforms ofYinandYang. Ch’i does not
inhabit thebody atrandom, although itispresent throughout theorganism. Instead it
flows inside asystem ofchannels called “meridians” thatextend intothearms andlegs
andaround thetorso beneath thesurface oftheskin. These meridians arenotthevessels
ofthecirculatory system thatcarry blood. They arenotthenerves ofthecentral nervous
system.
The Chinese contend thatYinandYangmay notbeequal—one rises astheother
falls—but their total amount must beproperly distributed among theorgans forthebody
toremain healthy.Inanyorgan, YinandYangaredelicately balanced with each other.
Illness results ifthebalance isdisrupted. Atcertain times oftheday,theYinorYang
“influence” will bestronger than itscounterpart, butthisisanormal rhythm andwill
notcause illness ordisease. When animbalance causes sickness, theacupuncturist tries
todiscover where Yin


-
sarily lead tocancer; ifthesecond stage (promotion) fails totake place, thethird and
definitive stage willnotbeattained. Inother words, theinitial change intheDNA ofthe
cellmay notbepermanent orirreversible. Inthiscase, ifthecause ofthecellirritation
is removed, the cell will repair and resume normal function.
Ifwethink oftheprocess ofneoplastic transformation interms oftheinteraction in
thecellofDNA, RNA, andprotein, wecould saythattheprimary change, orinitiation,
occurs inthebase sequences ofDNA; thesecond step, promotion, andthethird step,
progression, would beexpressed intheperpetuation ofthechange asDNA replicates it-
self.
75.19.1 Chemical Carcinogenesis
Itisprobable thatahigh proportion ofhuman cancer,perhaps 60to90% isdueto
environmental causes. Cigarette smoke, atmospheric pollution, andvarious other mate-
rials inourenvironment contain certain hydrocarbons which canproduce cancer.For
centuries some meats have been conserved insaltandithasbeen found thatthenitrates
present in meat cured in this way can also be carcinogenic.
Chemical carcinogenesis isgenerally atwo-stage process asmentioned above con-
sisting of,first, initial ion.andsecond, promotion. Anexample ofthisdouble process is
tobefound intherelationship ofcroton oilandpolycyclic hydrocarbons toskin cancer.
Croton oilalone rarely produces skin cancer butifasingle dose ofapolycyclic hydro-
carbon isapplied totheskin ofanexperimental animal andifthisisthen followed by
anapplication ofcroton oil,skin cancer frequently occurs: thepolycyclic hydrocarbon
actsasaninitiator andthecroton oilasapromoter ofthecancer process. Observations
ofthistype arepertinent tohuman cancer since weknow thatournatural environment
contains anumber ofchemical carcinogens. Itislogical toassume thateven alowlevel
ofthese chemicals might serve asinitiating agents, andthatassociation with promoting
agents could result in cancer.
75.19.1.1 Asbestos
Thenaturally-occurring fibrous silicates classified as“asbestos” now arebelieved to
bethemost deadly cancer -causing agents intheworkplace. There hasbeen athousand-
fold increase inoutput ofasbestos during thepast 50years, andalthough ithasbeen
known formore than halfacentury thatpersons who inhaled largeamounts ofitinthe
course oftheir work sometimes developed disabling orfatal fibrosis ofthelungs, ithas
only been within thelast30years thatithasbeen found tocause cancer.Itisestimated
thatasmany as3,000 different products indaily usethroughout theworld contain some
asbestos
Thefirstsuggestion thatitcould cause cancer wasraised in1935 bytwophysicians
who noticed acorrelation between asbestosis, acondition caused byfibers remaining in
thelungs, andlung cancer.The link was definitely established around 1960 when Mt.
Sinai School ofMedicine researchers found thatasbestos was thecause ofmesotheli-
oma, arareandalways fatal cancer ofthemembranes surrounding thelungs andlining
oftheabdominal cavity.Cancer ofthestomach hasalso been found among Americaninsulation workers andamong theJapanese who liketoeatricecoated with talc, asub-
stance usually contaminated with asbestos. Asbestos hasalsobeen linked with cancer of
thelarynx, andastudy bytheAmerican Cancer Society showed thatasbestos workers
who smoke may be92times more likely than theaverage nonsmoker todevelop lung
cancer.Even relatively brief exposure canincrease theriskofcancer 20to40years later.
Asbestos hasbeen found intheairwebreathe. Anestimated 158,000 pounds ofthis
mineral isreleased from automobile brake linings every year,andthousands ofschools
and other buildings have been constructed with asbestos insulation and flame proofing.
Dr.Irving Selikof fofMt.Sinai School ofMedicine, oneoftheworld’ sleading ex-
perts onasbestos, says thataworker could beexposed heavily toasbestos foroneday
anddevelop cancer much later inlifeasaresult, because hislungs continue tobeex-
posed to the asbestos fibers deposited there.
Altogether,2.5million Americans arenow working intrades involving asbestos,
including asbestos mining andprocessing, insulation work, building demolition, and
brake-clutch repair.
The modern home hasasbestos from roof tobasement—asbestos roofing orroof
tiles, gutters, rainwater pipes, ceiling andfloor tiles. Thetiles, even ifpolished, aresub-
jecttowear andtearandpresumably theliberation ofasbestos. Theinstances ofplural
disease, oneofthem mesothelioma, have been found inworkers who sanded asbestos
floor tiles. Central-heating furnaces andpipes insulated byasbestos arecommon. Insu-
lation ofelectrical equipment inthehome, such aselectric irons andstoves, isalmost
always compounded with asbestos. Ironing-board covers are made from the substance.
Thelatency period forasbestos-caused cancer isfrom four tofifty years. Itprimarily
appears in the lungs, pleural cavity, gastrointestinal tract, ovary, skin, liver, and larynx.
75.19.1.2 Air Pollution
Polluted airaffects thehealth ofhuman beings andofanimal andplants. Emitted
pollutants arediluted intheatmosphere andswept away bywinds, except during anin-
version (when surface aircannot rise). Then, foraperiod thatvaries from afewhours
toaweek ormore, pollutants aretrapped andthedilution process isimpeded. When an
inversion persists foraweek ormore, pollution intensifies substantially,andthere isan
accompanying increase inthedeath rate. Scientists areconvinced thatairpollution is
very definitely afactor contributing tothethree major types ofdiseases thatresult in
sickness anddeath inourcountry—heart disease, lung andrespiratory diseases, andcan-
cer.Studies have shown thatairpollution canactually behazardous topeople who live
50to100miles away from thepollution source. This isbecause some common pollu-
tants while moving through theatmosphere aretransformed bychemical reactions with
sunlight intomore hazardous pollutants, such asphotochemical oxidants thatpoison the
lungs andrespiratory system. Sulfur oxides aggravate asthma, lung andheart diseases,
andlung functions ofchildren. The amount ofsuspended particles intheairisrelat-
edtoinjury tothesurfaces oftherespiratory system, thatis,tothelinings ofthelungs
andthroat. Chemicals carried intothelungs byparticulates may cause cancer todevel-
oponthelung lining. Carbon monoxide isharmful topersons who have lung disease,
anemia, orcerebral-vascular disease. Photochemical oxidants may cause respiratory ir-
ritation andeven changes inlung function. Nitrogen oxides inhigh concentrations can
be fatal, and in lower concentrations they can cause acute bronchitis and pneumonia.
Airpollution accounts foradoubling ofthebronchitis mortality rateforurban as
compared torural areas. In1958 therateofdeath from lung cancer was1.56 times as
high intheurban areas asintherural areas. Stomach cancer isrelated significantly toa
deposit index andasmoke index. Themortality rateduetostomach cancer ismore than
twice asgreat inareas ofhigh pollution asinareas oflowpollution. Themortality ofall
cancers is 25% higher in polluted areas than in areas of relatively clean air.Cigarette smoke andautomotive exhaust, themost common environmental airprob-
lems, arecomposed ofgases, liquid andsolid aerosols. Personal pollution from smoke
isthemain cause ofrespiratory cancer.Municipal incinerators aremajor sources ofsev-
eraltoxic elements intheairofmany cities. Refuse incineration canaccount formajor
portions ofzinc, cadmium, antimony,andpossibly silver,tin,andindium observed in
airborne particles. Many ofthetoxic elements from incinerators areassociated with pre-
dominantly small particles thatcanbeeasily inhaled intothelungs, where these poiso-
nous elements can be dissolved in body fluids and transported about the body.
Theimpact ofairpollution onhumans generally increases with age. This indicates
that air pollution has a cumulative ef fect on health.
Ithasbeen estimated that25% ofthedeaths from lung cancer could besaved bya
50% reduction in air pollution.
75.19.1.3 Water
Drinking water thatcomes into your home may bethegreatest source ofcancer -
causing agents towhich youareexposed. There arethousands oforganic chemicals po-
tentially present inourwater supplies duetoindustrial dischar gesandspills. Theuseof
agricultural chemicals, industrial dischar gesandspills, andtherunof fofrainwater from
cities present agrowing pollution problem. Groundwater—subsurface water supplied by


hiswife who hadbeen vegetarians forover tenyears. They were
both fighting a serious weight problem.
“Inever thought I’dbeanoverweight vegetarian,” theman joked with me,“but Su-
sanandIeach weigh nearly twenty-five pounds more than when wegotmarried ten
years ago.”
Iworked with theman, andhadachance toseehow hebecame afatvegetarian. His
dietwas unrestricted tosaytheleast. Hecontinually drank softdrinks with sugar be-
cause hedidn’ twant those “artificial sweeteners.” Hecertainly enjoyed icecream, and
ate many of his lunches from vending machines in the form of snack cakes and cookies.
Hiswife andhimself enjoyed cooking gourmet vegetarian meals, andthey used eggs,
butter, and cream in all of their cooking for a rich taste.
One dayhetoldme:“Youknow,Ihate tosayit,butIthink Susan andIaregoing to
have to start eating meat again.”
Iwasastonished. After tenyears, heandhiswife were going back toeating animals.
Why, I asked him.
“Well,weread abook thatsaid some people areprobably notmeant tobevegetari-
ans.Ithastodowith thepituitary gland, andhow itneeds animal protein tobestimulat-
ed.When your gland isstimulated byeating meat, your metabolism increases andyou
loseweight. Wekeep getting fatonavegetarian diet, soIguess we’ll trysomething new.
Susan’ sfixing fishtonight, andit’llprobably bepretty strange eating meat after allthese
years. Still,” he said as he patted his stomach, “I’ll eat anything to get rid of this.”
Ofcourse thatwasexactly hisproblem. Hehadbeen eating “anything” andevery-
thing onhisvegetarian diet. Listen towhat Dr.Herbert M.Shelton hastosayabout veg-
etarians who follow such an unrestricted diet:
“Vegetarians often have theerroneous idea thattherejection ofmeat isallthatisre-
quired tocarry them intodietetic heaven. They donotknow thatavegetarian dietmay
beeven more dangerous than aproperly-planned mixed diet. Indeed, theeating ofmost
vegetarians is so abominable that one cannot blame people for not following them.”
Theunrestricted, eat-anything-you-like vegetarian dietisindeed poorer than thediet
which includes meat butrejects other unnatural foods. Meat eating, forexample, has
been around much longer than white sugar,white flour,preservatives, andother junk
foods. There ismore inman’ sbackground thatpredisposes himtoarawhunk ofmeat
than to a sugary ice cream cone.
This isnottosaythatweshould consume meat inpreference tovanilla icecream;
neither hasaplace inthehealthful diet. Some vegetarians have only seen halfthetruth,
andremain “ice cream” vegetarians—addicted tojunk foods andsugar,while proudly
rejecting meat.
Theunrestricted vegetarian diethaslittle torecommend it.Itiscertainly better than
anunrestricted meal diet, yetitcannot bedepended upon tobuild andmaintain health.
In summary, the unrestricted vegetarian diet can be evaluated as follows:
Advantages: Allflesh andmeat products areeschewed which reduces thelevel of
toxicity in the diet.
Disadvantages: Oldandpoor diethabits aremaintained. Junk foods areoften sub-
stituted forthemissing meat. Theperson isdeluded intothinking thathehasimproved
his diet, when in ef fect, only a small portion of the harmful foods has been removed.
Compar edtotheLifeScience Diet: Theonly thing theunrestricted vegetarian diet
hasincommon with therecommended Life Science diet isthemutual avoidance of
meat. Other than that, theunrestricted vegetarian dietismore closely aligned with the
traditional American diet than with the Life Science diet.88.3.2 The Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarian Diet
Like theunrestricted vegetarian diet discussed, thelacto-ovo-vegetarian diet isa
very liberal dietary approach. Both diets include alldairy products andeggs inthefoods
eaten. Thelacto-ovo-vegetarian (abbreviated asLOV) eatscheese, drinks milk, anduses
eggs as part of the regular diet.
Unlike theunrestricted vegetarian diet, theLOV dietgenerally excludes junk foods,
white sugar,white flour andother widely-known debilitating foods. The LOV dietary
approach, then, is a health-minded way to a better diet.
People who arelacto-ovo-vegetarians (“lacto” formilk, “ovo” foreggs) usually are
former meat eaters who have decided toeliminate meat and, atthesame time, substitute
more whole andnatural foods forprocessed foods. People follow aLOV dietfortwo
reasons: 1)They arenotyetconfident enough ornutritionally educated enough togive
upallanimal foods andproducts. They continue toeateggs andmilk to“make sure they
getplenty ofprotein,” orwhatever.2)They dosoforsocial andfamily convenience. A
LOV dietallows agreat deal oflatitude indining out,anditmay befollowed with a
minimum of inconvenience.
Advantages: Meat iseliminated and agradual trend isstarted toabetter,more
wholesome diet. The LOV dietissocially convenient, nonthreatening. andrequires a
minimal amount of change in lifestyle.
Disadvantages: Milk, milk products, andeggs aretotally unnecessary inthediet.
These foods areconstipating, acidic, andfullofpesticides, hormones, andgrowth addi-
tives.
Compar edtotheLifeScience Diet: TheLOV diethasonly twothings incommon
with theLife Science diet—it tooavoids allflesh, anditalso emphasizes more whole
and natural foods over processed and refined foods.
88.3.3 The Lacto-Vegetarian Diet
Thelacto-vegetarian dietisthemost popular vegetarian dietintheworld. This diet
avoids allanimal products except forthose made from milk. Eggs, lard, andthemost
blatant junk foods areavoided. Yogurt, butter,cheese, cream, andmilk, however,are
consumed in unrestricted amounts.
Many people follow alacto-vegetarian dietforreasons convenience ornutritional
“safety.”Again, alacto-vegetarian dietmakes iteasier todine outandeatconventional
foods. Some people usemilk products inavegetarian dietinorder tomeet theinflated
Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) calcium standards. Milk andcheeses areused
in such a diet so that enough calcium may be consumed.
Calcium requirements, however,canbeeasily metandexceeded onavegetarian diet
thatincludes absolutely nodairy products. Infact, there ismuch doubt thatcalcium from
pasteurized andheated milk products canbeabsorbed bythebody atall.Calcium re-
quirements onanalkaline vegetarian dietarefarlower than forameat-eating, acidic di-
et. In other words, meat-eaters need lar ger amounts of calcium than do vegetarians.
Ifyouknow vegetarians who usemilk products asamatter ofconvenience, there is
probably little youcandotoenlighten them. If,however,they areadding dairy products
totheir dietsolely tomeet calcium requirements, then tellthem thetruth: Itjustisn’t
necessary.
Advantages: The healthy lacto-vegetarian dietdoes eliminate many oftheharmful
foods eaten today: meat, animal products, eggs, junk foods, white sugar.Itisarelatively
easy andsimple diettofollow,andmay beconveniently adhered tobythose who donot
wish to make major changes in their lifestyles.
Disadvantages: Most lacto-vegetarians greatly overeat ondairy products. Itisafact
thatlacto-vegetarians generally eatmore cheese anddrink more milk than many meateaters andthose onconventional diets. Dairy products areoften used asahigh-protein
substitute for meat, yet they too are full of hormones, additives, and pesticides.
Compar edtotheLifeScience Diet: Like theLOV diet, thisdiethasincommon with
theoptimal Life Science diettheavoidance ofmeat andmany substandard foods and
junk foods. Eggs, too,areeliminated asintheLife Science diet. Yetthelacto-vegetar-
iandietstillincludes many,many foods notconsidered natural toourdietary heritage.
Cooked grains, legumes, onions, garlic, spices, herbs, andfoods eaten inpoor combina-
tions areallpresent inthelacto-vegetarian diet. Although another stepintheright direc-
tion, thelacto-vegetarian dietstillslops short ofembracing thefullprinciples ofNatural

One ofthemost notable mental improvements inthose students who gotintoanex-
ercise program wasalertness andgreater ability tosolve problems. Likewise, executives
attest that they can solve business problems easier because of their exercise programs.
98.2.18 Exercise Quells Food Addictions
Ofespecial interest tothose who areoverweight isthefactthattheurgetoeatcanbe
smothered byashort run, jumping jacks, orother vigorous exercise forsixtotenmin-
utes. Even genuine hunger,which israrely experienced bymost Americans, isovercome
anddeferred forawhile because ofexercise. However,when hunger then comes, itis
more intense.
98.2.19 Vigorous Activity Increases Capacity for Vigorous Activity
Themore youexercise, themore you’re able toexercise uptoapoint. Because of
thebody’ spropensity ofexceeding the“demands made upon itindeveloping abilities
andcapacities, we’re usually able togoabitlonger andexert alittle harder with each
succeeding exercise session.
98.2.20 A Vigorous Activity Program Enables Us to Have Better Personal Control
Yes,we’ll bemore controlled ofselfandfaculties. Precise andaccurate perfor-
mances increase productivity andquality ofproduction. Precision performers areless
likely to have accidents and miscues.
98.2.21 While Involved in an Intensely Vigorous Exercise or Activity Regime, You
Will Be Better Able to Face and Cope with Stressful Situations and Individuals
Perhaps Dr.Hans Selye demonstrated more graphically than anyone thepower of
exercise even though he made his experiments with rats.
Hetook four groups ofrats. Thefirst group hecalled his“fatcatrats” because they
were permitted tolollaround andeatallthefood they wanted. Noproblems were posed
forthem atall.Thesecond group also hadallthefood they wanted, butthey were put
onavigorous exercise program. Thethird group wasfedonly every other day,butper-
mitted indolence likethefirstgroup. Thefourth group wasfedonly every other day,but
was put through a rigorous exercise program like the second group.
Then hestarted putting these ratsthrough thestresses faced byhumans. They had
horns blaring, machines clanking, mazes torun, andvigorous activity tounder goto
avoid contrived or obvious threats of calamity.
Theresult: Within 30days allthefatcatratswere dead! Rats from Groups 2and3
had started dying. But, after 60 days, all the rats in group 4 were still going strong!
This demonstrates most dramatically thebenefits ofabstemious eating andvigorous
exercise, especially within the context of a helter -skelter hustler -bustler society.98.2.22 As an Active Person You’ll Have More Poise and Stable Emotions
Yourface willexhibit asmile instead ofagloomy expression. Hostility andintoler-
ance will disappear. The ability to cope breeds self-confidence and a happy disposition.
When youhave ample energy,strength, andendurance tofulfill your basic needs and
asurplus tospare, youwillbeself-reliant. Theability tocope isdeveloped concomitant
with increasing ener gy levels, stamina, and fortitude.
When youaremaster ofyourself andareaware thatyoucanfurther improve yourself
orprepare yourself foranything, you’ll behappy.And happiness generates anamiable,
radiant disposition, overcoming alow-ener gy,energy-conserving attitude ofparsimony,
reluctance, and grumpiness in conducting your relations with others.
Youbecome more outgoing, helpful, andsocially aware rather than demanding. This
makes thedifference between being appreciated andunappreciated bythose around you,
the dif ference between being popular and in demand and being deprecated and avoided.
98.2.23 Regular Exercise Overcomes Constipation and Establishes Regularity
Constipation isanational disease with over 90% ofourpeople suffering from it
chronically oroccasionally.Exercise isagreat boon forthese people. However,araw
food dietofmostly fruits with adequate sleep andaregime thattouches base with other
life essentials are also mandatory.
98.2.24 Your Nerves Will Be Steadier, Hence You Will Rarely if Ever Experience
Edginess or Nervousness
Nerves areirritated bybody toxins, giving risetounsteadiness, tics,twitches, muscle
spasms, muscular constrictions, etc.When your body iscleansed, thathelps alot.Mus-
cular rejuvenation helps make muscles more responsive totheexact commands ofthe
nerves. And, ofcourse, when notirritated, thecommands ofthenerves arevoluntary and
correct asreceived from thebrain instead ofbeing defensive reactions toatoxic envi-
ronment.
98.2.25 Your Senses Will Be More Acute and Accurate
Yourthinking willbesharper,clearer,quicker,andmore correct. Yourdecision mak-
ingability will begreatly improved with decisions thataremore appropriate andpro-
ductive ofintentions. Yourjudgments willnotonly bebetter ones but,intime, exalted
which will earn you admiration.
Yeah, yeah! Exercise, self-mastery,andahealthful disposition will produce these
qualities in you.
98.2.26 Exercise Enables the Body to More Quickly Heal Itself in Many
Conditions
Exercise helps overcome pain andphysical problems. When thebody isrequired to
cope with new demands, ittends tocorrect those problems thatimpede theperformance
demanded. Tryandtryagain! Keep ontrying andyou’ll find yourself mastering move-
ments and tasks that seem impossible at the beginning.
98.2.27 An Exercise Program Helps Overcome and Reverse Degenerative
Conditions
Degenerative conditions areremedied byexercise even though itcannot resuscitate
lost, deranged, ordamaged organs. However,itwilldevelop residual faculties inmany
cases to compensate for lost or impaired faculties.98.2.28 Regular Exercisers Have Better Digestion

Awell-rounded activity program brings intousetheentire body musculature, some
700 in number, from head to foot.
98.3.1 Stretching
Ourdayshould begin with stretching! After anight ofrestandsleep, themusculature
should beslowly brought back toactive status. There arehundreds oflittle things todo
thatstretch various body muscle systems. Undertake tolearn stretching exercises sothat
youcanusethem daily,especially upon awakening. Abook onhatha yoga isuseful for
discovering stretching exercises.
98.3.2 Warming Up
Stretching isforawakening musculature and, indeed, thebrain, bringing ittoahigh
state. Warming upconsists indoing very light exercises togetthebody minimally oxy-
genized and operable.
98.3.3 Intensifying Activities
Warming-up exercises should beheightened tothelevel ofvigorousness andstren-
uousness. Forinstance, ifwejogged 100yards orso,didsome squats, situps, etc., to
warm upwith, wemight intensify activities byjumping jacks, ashort sprint, pushups,
chinups, orsomething thattakes advantage ofthewarming andputs aheavier demand
upon musculature.
98.3.4 Jogging, Running, and Sprinting
These areallconstructive exercises. Ithasbeen said that two-hundred yards of
sprinting isworth amile ofjogging. However thatmight be,Ifeelthatboth aregood. I

These exercises areelective asareothers. Exercises chosen should suitone’sincli-
nations and abilities. Exercises will widen your activity horizons in any event.

 our works and actions through understanding
the dynamic law of becoming that exists within each form. All this is by
way of saying that there is nothing in the world that we cannot influence by
first influencing ourselves, for everything in the end is colored by the
quality of our consciousness. W e can change our consciousness and thus
change what we see, and the tool by which we can ef fect this change is
imagination. W e can learn to visualize in our minds only those things that
we wish admitted into our lives, and when we have truly learned to do this,
physical counterparts of those ideas will soon appear in our environment.
You can be anything you want to be if you will only trust your imagination.
Picture your heart’ s desire; never let the picture distort or tarnish; keep it
fresh and clear and bright. It will enter your life quietly and unobtrusively,
without sound of trumpets or clashing cymbals, for it will be following alaw that exists throughout the universe, that everything basically is idea and
must first begin in the mind of the beholder.OceanofPDF.com

Mental Imagery

“To have seen that V ision,” says Plotinus, “is r eason no longer, it is
more than r eason, befor e reason and after r eason, as also is the V ision
which is seen. And perhaps we should not her e speak of sight, for that
which is seen is not discerned by the seer, if indeed it is possible her e to
distinguish between seer and seen as separate things. Ther efore this
Vision is hard to tell of, for how can a man describe as other than
himself that which when he discerned it seemed not other but one with
himself?”

To Think Is to Be

That which is visualized in the mind becomes part of the possessor of that
mind because we ar e what we think. It is strange how little we know about
the mind. Not much mor e has been determined about it since the time of
Descartes and his brilliant basic pr emise, “Cogito, er go sum” — “I think,
therefore I am.” W e only know we exist because we think. Should thought
stop in us, we automatically would cease to be. Should thought begin at any
particular point in space, that point immediately would begin to live. It is
deeply significant that we exist by grace of thought, and it is even mor e
significant that at any particular time we ar e the sum total of the thoughts
we hold in mind.It seems reasonable to assume that the thinking being that inhabits us is
thought itself, that the more complex and universal our thoughts are, the
more complex and universal we become. It is impossible to separate the
image in the mind of a beholder from the beholder himself, because in a
very real sense the two are one. That which achieves the attention of
consciousness becomes that consciousness. When our attention is focused
on something, we become that thing. It is this power of consciousness, that
it becomes the thought it thinks, which gives the mind such ascendancy
over matter. Our investigation of the outer world has practically conquered
space and time, but we still know very little about what the human mind is
and what its influences are. Because thought is invisible, it never has come
under the scrutiny of the laboratory microscope. As a consequence, we are
nearly as poorly informed about the qualities and processes of thought as
we were at the dawn of written history. Even though it is recognized now
that the thoughts a person thinks determine their whole life, the average
person continues to think in response to sensual stimuli rather than in
response to their inner wishes and desires.

Mental Law

The thought first, then the thing — that is the law. But the vast majority of
people live on the opposite premise — the thing first, then the thought. The
power of mental imagery still works even in this reversal of form, but in
this case it merely lends validity to everything they see and every situation
they encounter. Such people are unable to grow beyond the limitation of
their own emotions, for they give credence to all sensual stimuli. Each such
stimulus becomes bound up in an emotional reaction. Whenever they
encounter an event or thing which they have encountered before, they react
in a predetermined manner. It thus becomes impossible for them to progress
into any degree of ef fective living, for by the very nature of their mental
position the things of the world control them; they never control the things.
They are either fearful or hostile, resentful, envious, or sad, but each of
these emotions is inspired by a stimulus from outside and never by innerconvictions or desires. These are the people who are the most strenuous
defenders of their mental aberrations. In ar gument they are easily provoked
to hysteria. Since their convictions are encysted in emotion, they defend
them with their lives, convinced of ultimate disaster should their delusions
be dissolved. The most fortunate thing that can happen is that life reduce
their egos to nothingness. T o a great extent their eyes are then cleared, and
they are able finally to see that they have always reacted rather than acted.
When humility enters someone’ s soul, they at last are able to perceive that
they do not live alone in the world but with millions of brothers and that
hidden in the heart of each is the same animating spirit.

Forecaster of the Futur e

“To know is nothing at all, to imagine is everything,” wrote Anatole France.
That which seizes the attention of our consciousness is an infallible
forecaster of the future. Indeed, were we to know the thoughts that occupy
someone else’ s mind, we might provide them an accurate description of
their coming life, down to the most intimate detail. The success of fortune
tellers, via whatever medium they use — cards, tea leaves, crystal balls —
is always the result of a telepathic communication between seer and subject.
The thoughts that possess us lead us around by the mental noses. There is in
thought a motor impulse that compels us to do the things we think about,
and this is a law far above moral or ethical considerations. It works just as
quickly for what is considered evil as it does for what is considered good. If
you keep thinking about robbing the corner service station, and you keep
this image in your mind for several weeks, you one day will find yourself at
the service station, gun in hand, prepared to empty the till. People who
commit so-called crimes of passion often report they were in the grip of a
compulsion they could neither control nor understand. Such compulsion
proceeds out of their thoughts. Images projected into the moving screen of
mind finally take root in the motor impulses of the body, and each person is
propelled into the action they visualize in the deeper recesses of their
consciousness. The Dhammapada cautions us to guard our thoughts, andindeed we should. Everything that is admitted into our mind takes shape,
form, and substance in our lives, and we can stop this from happening only
by ceasing to live, for the law of life is the law of thoughts becoming things.

Clear Thinking

The quality of our mental imagery determines how quickly we get ef fects in
the outer world. Since most people are relatively unaware of thinking at all,
they give little consideration to how well they think, to the clarity and
reality of the images they envisage. Most of us are fuzzy thinkers. When we
call something to mind, it comes to us as a vague and shadowy presence.
We do not really see it, feel it, hear it, touch it, penetrate it, take it unto us,
but rather are dimly aware of it by means of some verbal grasp of its idea.
We say, “My house,” but the image does not call to mind the actual house,
only a vague idea of it in terms of whether the taxes have to be paid, the
outside walls painted, the lawn mowed, or a party given there Saturday
night. W e adopt meanings about everything in terms of personal
significance, but we seldom conjure up images in our consciousness for the
simple reason that we never have trained ourselves to think that way, never
have truly understood the significance of such images.
Think about something familiar. Think of a r oom in which you spend a gr eat
deal of time. See yourself sitting in some particular chair in that r oom. Look
around. What do you see? Ar e ther e pictur es on the walls? Wher e and what
kind? What ar e their colors? Wher e are the furnitur e, books, papers? Is
there dust gather ed in the corners? Wher e are the lamps? How do they
operate? See yourself in that r oom with such intensity that you actually feel
that you ar e ther e. See the color, the solidity of objects. W ork on this for a
few days. If you ar e lucky, you will have an experience that will startle you.
During one of these meditation periods, while you ar e visiting this r oom in
your mind, you will have the sudden feeling that you actually ar e ther e.
When this experience comes to you, you will be ther e, in a very r eal thoughpsychic sense; such is the tr emendous power of corr ect and clear mental
visualization.

995	‘protected’	ones	succumbed	to	the	prevailing	malady."

When	Jenner	was	faced	with	the	disturbing	fact	that	vaccination	with	cowpox

was	as	much	a	failure	as	the	previous	inoculations	with	human	smallpox,	he

invented	all	manner	of	excuses	which	were	as	unconvincing	as	they	were

useless.	His	one—track	mind	seemed	to	admit	no	other	thought	except	pus.	So

when	cow	or	human	putrescence	didn’t	prevent	smallpox	he	continued	to

experiment	with	other	varieties.	He	noticed	that	in	the	suppurating	cracks	in	the

feet	of	diseased	horses	there	was	a	putrid	mass	of	pus.	This	disease	was	called

"horse	grease"	by	some	people	but	was	considered,	by	some	veterinarians,	to	be

a	form	of	syphilis	of	the	horse.	Others	said	it	was	a	type	of	consumption	or

wasting	disease.	For	some	unaccountable	reason,	Jenner	thought	this	pus	would

be	a	good	addition	to	his	discredited	vaccines	so	he	injected	it	into	a	cow	and

produced	a	disease	in	the	cow.	With	the	concoction	of	pus	from	the	diseased

horse	and	cow	he	made	a	serum.	When	the	people	learned	what	he	had	done	they

protested	so	violently	that	Dr.	Pearson	wrote	to	Jenner	immediately	and	said,

"For	God’s	sake	take	the	horse	out,	or	you	will	damn	the	whole	business."

Following	that	incident	Jenner	wrote	to	a	friend	and	said,	"I	am	on	the	lookout	to

be	able	to	make	a	fortune;	and	to	appease	the	public."	Then,	as	Dr.	Hadwen

related	in	his	famous	lecture,	"Jenner	decided	to	take	the	horse	out.	But	he	was
	still	faced	with	the	problem	of	finding	genuine	cowpox.	This	he	was	never	able

to	do...In	sheer	desperation,	he	fell	back	upon	spontaneous	cowpox	although	he

had	declared	previously,	it	was	absolutely	useless	in	preventing	smallpox.	And	it

is	this	spontaneous	cowpox	vaccine,	this	which	was	denounced	by	Edward

Jenner,	this	which	was	scouted	by	the	so-called	inventor	himself	as	absolutely

useless	in	protecting	against	smallpox;	this	is	the	stuff	that	is	being	used	today

under	the	name	of	‘pure	calf	lymph	smallpox	vaccine’	and	before	which	the

medical	profession	is	bowing,	while	professing	to	follow	in	the	footsteps	of

Jenner.

"There	is	not	one	medical	man	in	10,000	who	has	ever	seen	cowpox	in	a	cow,

and	very	few	who	have	seen	a	case	of	smallpox	so	they	really	know	very	little

about	it.	There	are	two	things	the	medical	profession	should	learn:	The	first	is	to

know	smallpox	when	they	see	it;	and	the	next	is	to	know	how	to	treat	it	when

they	do	see	it."	—Dr.	W.	R.	Hadwen,	MD,	“The	Vaccination	Delusion”

REVACCINATION	DESTROYS	PROMISED

IMMUNITY
"We	will	suppose"	said	Dr.	Hadwen,	"for	the	sake	of	argument,	that	cowpox	is

smallpox	(as	some	doctors	still	claim)	and	that	when	you	give	a	person	cowpox
—that	is	when	you	vaccinate	him—you	give	him	a	mild	(or	severe)	sort	of

smallpox.	Jenner	himself,	said,	‘Cowpox	does	not	prevent	smallpox;	it	is

smallpox.’	So	that,	according	to	that	theory,	you	are	literally	"smallpoxing"	a

person	when	you	vaccinate	him...Jenner	said,	‘A	person	once	vaccinated	is

forever	after	secure	from	smallpox’	and	that,	‘revaccination	would	rob	his

discovery	of	half	its	virtues.’	But	what	is	the	medical	propaganda	telling	you?

The	doctors	know	that	vaccination	will	not	protect	you	against	another

vaccination.	If	one	cowpox	inoculation	will	not	protect	you	from	being

cowpoxed	again,	how	on	earth	is	it	going	to	protect	you	from	being	smallpoxed?

Why,	the	very	theory	of	revaccination	is	condemnatory	of	the	whole	creed.	If	it

cannot	protect	against	a	mild	form	in	vaccination	how	can	it	protect	one	from	a

serious	form	of	smallpox?	The	most	amazing	thing	on	earth	is	the	fact	that	the

medical	men	cannot	see	this."	—	“The	Vaccination	Delusion”,	Dr.	Hadwen

JENNER	FANS	RESENT	THE	TRUTH

The	Editor	of	"TRUTH"	(London)	answers	a	complaint	in	an	editorial	of	his
	publication	as	follows:

"In	his	article,	‘The	Fraud	of	Vaccination,’	published	last	week	in	"TRUTH,	Dr.

Hadwen	made	some	remarks	not	altogether	complimentary	to	Jenner,	the	(self

proclaimed)	discoverer	of	vaccination.	These	remarks	led	one	reader	to

denounce	both	Dr.	Hadwen	and	myself—Dr.	Hadwen	for	libelling	one	of	the

greatest	benefactors	of	humanity	(she	thinks)	and	myself	for	propagating	the

libel.	Dr.	Hadwen	is	well	able	to	take	care	of	himself.	For	my	own	part,	not

wishing	to	do	any	injustice	to	the	name	and	fame	of	the	late	Dr.	Jenner,	I	asked

Dr.	Hadwen	what	he	had	against	him	and	he	replied	by	sending	me	a	pamphlet

he	had	written	on	the	subject.	This	I	have	compared	with	the	account	of	Jenner’s

life	given	in	the	"Dictionary	of	National	Biography,"	and	the	result	is	so

illuminating	that	I	will	now	give	the	salient	facts	as	briefly	as	possible.

"To	begin	with,	it	is	clear	that	Jenner	never	possessed	anything	that	would	be

recognized	today	as	a	medical	qualification.	At	the	age	of	16	he	was	apprenticed

to	a	country	doctor	and	apothecary	and	at	21	he	was	sent	for	two	years	as	a	pupil

to	Dr.	John	Hunter	of	London.	At	23	Jenner	returned	to	his	native	village	and

started	to	practice	as	a	surgeon	and	apothecary.	He	continued	for	several	years	as

just	a	plain,	unqualified	country	doctor.	At	the	end	of	this	time	be	made	his	first

bid	for	fame.	In	l787	he	sent	a	paper	on	"The	Natural	History	of	the	Cuckoo"	to

the	Royal	Society,	and	as	a	result,	with	Hunter’s	influence	he	was	elected	F.R.C.

Three	years	later	he	applied	to	St.	Andrew’s	University	for	an	M.D.	degree,	and

as	St.	Andrew’s,	in	those	days,	was	not	squeamish	about	degrees	so	long	as	the

fees	were	forthcoming,	Jenner	became	Doctor	Jenner	for	the	modest	sum	of	15

pounds.	(about	$75.00	in	those	days)

"As	for	the	vaccination	discovery	it	appears	to	have	been	founded	upon	what	Dr.

Hadwen	calls	a	superstition	among	the	dairymaids."	The	editorial	continues	with

the	history	of	vaccination	as	already	covered	in	this	chapter	so	I	do	not	think	it	is

necessary	to	repeat	it	He

“History will record The Biology of Belief  as one of the most important
writings of our time. Bruce Lipton has delivered the missing link
between the understandings of biomedicine of the past and the essentials
of ener getic healing of the future. His complex insights are expressed in
a readily understandable fashion with a style that welcomes the scientist
and the nonscientist on an equal footing. For anyone interested in health,
the well-being of the species, and the future of human life, The Biology
of Belief  is a must read. The implications of the perspectives outlined
have the potential to change the world as we know it. Bruce Lipton’ s
understandings—and his concise expression of them—are sheer genius.”

About the AuthorP r o l o g u e
“If you could be anybody, who would you be?” I used to spend an
inordinate amount of time pondering that question. I was obsessed with
the fantasy of changing my identity because I wanted to be anybody but
me. I had a good career as a cell biologist and medical school professor,
but that didn’ t make up for the fact that my personal life was, at best, a
shambles. The harder I tried to find happiness and satisfaction in my
personal life, the more dissatisfied and unhappy I became. In my
reflective moments, I resolved to surrender to my unhappy life. I decided
that fate had dealt me a bad hand, and I should simply accept it. Que
sera, sera.
In the fall of 1985, my depressed, fatalistic attitude changed in one
transformational moment. I had resigned my tenured position at the
University of W isconsin’ s School of Medicine and was teaching at an
of fshore medical college in the Caribbean. Because the school was so far
from the academic mainstream, I had the opportunity to think outside the
rigid parameters of belief  that prevail in conventional academia. Far from
the ivory towers, isolated on an emerald island in the deep azure
Caribbean Sea, I experienced a scientific epiphany that shattered my
beliefs  about the nature of life.
My life-changing moment occurred while I was reviewing my
research on the mechanisms by which cells control their physiology and
behavior. Suddenly I realized that a cell’ s life is controlled by the
physical and ener getic environment and not  by its genes. Genes are
simply molecular blueprints used in the construction of cells, tissues, and
or gans. The environment serves as a “contractor” who reads and engages
those genetic blueprints and is ultimately responsible for the character of
a cell’ s life. It is a single cell’ s “awareness” of the environment, not its
genes, that sets into motion the mechanisms of life.
As a cell biologist I knew that my insights had powerful ramifications
for my life and the lives of all human beings. I was acutely aware that
each of us is made up of approximately fifty trillion single cells. I had
devoted my professional life to better understanding single cells because
I knew then and know now that the better we understand single cells the
better we can understand the community of cells that comprises eachhuman body and that if single cells are controlled by their awareness of
the environment so too are we trillion-celled human beings. Just like a
single cell, the character of our lives is determined not by our genes but
by our responses to the environmental signals that propel life.
On the one hand, my new understanding of the nature of life was a
jolt. For close to two decades I had been programming biology’ s central
dogma — the belief  that life is controlled by genes—into the minds of
medical students. On the other hand, my new understanding was not a
complete surprise. I had always had niggling doubts about genetic
determinism. Some of those doubts stemmed from my eighteen years of
government-funded research on cloning stem cells. Though it took a
sojourn outside of traditional academia for me to fully realize it, my
research of fered incontrovertible proof that biology’ s most cherished
tenets regarding genetic determinism are fundamentally flawed.
My new understanding of the nature of life not only corroborated my
stem cell research but also, I realized, contradicted another belief  of
mainstream science that I had been propounding to my students—the
belief  that allopathic medicine is the only kind of medicine that merits
consideration in medical school. By finally giving the ener gy-based
environment its due, it provided for a grand conver gence uniting the
science and practice of allopathic medicine, complementary medicine,
and the spiritual wisdom of ancient and modern faiths.
On a personal level, I knew at the moment of insight that I had gotten
myself stuck simply by believing  that I was fated to have a spectacularly
unsuccessful personal life. There is no doubt that human beings have a
great capacity for sticking to false beliefs  with great passion and tenacity,
and hyper -rational scientists are not immune. Our well-developed
nervous system, headed by our big brain, is testament that our awareness
is far more complicated than that of a single
