ry a gentle saline nasal rinse to
flush out the irritants causing your
sniffles and congestion. 127Copyright 2014 everydayroots.comTips & TroubleshootingHoney is an incredible substance, one that’s been prized for literally centuries, and for good reason. When it
comes to allergies, local honey helps because it exposes your immune system to allergens, helping it build
itself up to them without throwing it into an all-out panic. It is vital that you get raw, unprocessed honey for this. Otherwise, any little bits of pollen and such will have been filtered out and it will be useless. Getting your honey
local is crucial as well because you will want to build up a tolerance to the pollens in your area. Y our co-op or
local farmers market are good places to check.Local Honey
-1-3 teaspoons of local, raw,
unprocessed honey 1. About a 1-1 ½ to 2 months before allergy season, eat a ½ teaspoon of
honey twice daily. Build up in increments every 1-2 weeks until you can
consume 3 teaspoons daily. Be sure to spread out consumption at first
(so if you are having it twice a day take it once in the morning and once
in the evening.) Taking too much at once won’t give your body a chance
to build up its immunity, so be patient! 128Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Seasonal AllergiesY ou will need… DirectionsStinging nettle seems like it should be the enemy, but it has a surprising amount of health benefits. When I
found out it was supposed to help allergies, it made seeking out the prickly plant that much more worth it. It is
theorized that it helps with allergies because it seems to bring down the levels of histamines the body produces
in response to an allergen, and when the levels of histamines go down, so do the irritating symptoms. If you’re
hunting down nettle yourself, make sure your wear long sleeves and pants to avoid getting pricked.Nettle Tea
-1 cup of fresh nettle leaves OR
2 teaspoons of dried nettle if
you can’t locate a fresh plant
-2 cups of fresh water
-A  pot
-Local honey (optional)1. For fresh nettle, place your leaves in a pot and cover with fresh water. Bring almost to a boil and then reduce the heat, letting the tea simmer
for 3-5 more minutes. Strain the tea into your favorite mug, add local
honey if you’d like, and drink 1-2 times daily. 2. If you are using dried nettle, use 1 teaspoon for 1 cup of water. Place
in a mug and pour boiling water over it. Cover and let it steep for 5-10
minutes before straining and drinking. Taking nettle capsules are a
convenient way to get its benefits as well. 129Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Seasonal AllergiesY ou will need… DirectionsACV is a commonly touted cure-all, said to help anything from weight loss to constipation. I don’t know about
the former, I can sadly vouch for the latter, and will tentatively add allergies to the long list of things it’s good for. The evidence for this is anecdotal, with theories being that it helps block histamine and reduce the resulting
inflammation, but I feel it is more likely the strong flavor that helps clear out stuffiness.Apple Cider Vinegar Drink
-1-2 tablespoons of ACV
-Raw, local, honey (optional)
-Warm water (optional) 1. Every morning or evening, take apple cider vinegar straight. 2. Alternatively, Y ou can also mix up a drink consisting of 2 tablespoons
of ACV, 1 teaspoon of raw local honey, and enough warm water to fill the
cup. Stir and drink daily. 130Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Seasonal AllergiesY ou will need… DirectionsSinus infections are commonly caused by a viral infection, most often a
strain of the common cold, but bacterial/fungal infections and allergies
can also be culprits. The air filled cavities around your nasal passages,
your sinuses, are lined with a thin mucous producing membrane. When a sinus infection sets in, your sinus cavities become swollen and
inflamed. This swelling blocks or reduces mucus  drainage and it builds
up, leading to throbbing pain in the face, headaches, a horribly stuffy
nose, yellow or green nasal discharge, difficulty tasting and smelling,
and a cough that usually bugs you terribly at night. If it is caused by a
virus, it will generally clear up on its own, and some home remedies may
be all that is needed to get you through.Sinus Infection
-Do the best you can to avoid
anything that may be an irritant,
such as smoke, perfume, etc. as
they can worsen the irritation in
the sinus cavities and only drag
out the time they are inflamed. -Keep a humidifier in your room
at night, as dry air will also only
further irritation. -If you feel comfortable doing so,
try doing a nasal rinse with a neti
pot or something similar to help
flush out stubborn mucus. -Avoid consuming a lot of dairy-
especially milk. It can make
phlegm fee thicker and make you
feel more congested as a result. -For general relief, place a
warm, steamy, towel across the
sinuses and bridge of nose. The
warmth can help provide some
humidification and may help
loosen mucous. Mostly, it just
brings comfort and relieves the
sensation of pressure. Scented Steam
-If you had to use one of the
essential oils, I would choose tea
tree first. Its airborne microbial
fighting action will be brought
right up into your nose, where
there may be a lurking virus. -Y ou may also add ½ cup of white
distilled vinegar. 131Copyright 2014 everydayroots.comTips & TroubleshootingI maintain that steam is one of the best natural ways to clear out a stuffy nose, but it’s just heaven sent when you
have a sinus infection, especially when you add the benefits of aromatherapy. The warmth and heat will loosen
and help drain mucous, and I find the pressure is almost always relieved or lessened greatly after this treatment.Scented Steam
-Several cups of boiling water
-A large bowl
-A towel
-Tea tree, peppermint,
eucalyptus, or rosemary oil1. Bring several cups of water to a boil and pour into a large bowl. 2. Add 3 drops of peppermint, tea tree, or rosemary essential oil. Y ou
can also try a combination of all or a few of those oils. Feel free to add
more or less if you find the scent too strong or too weak. 3. Place your face directly over the steaming bowl after it has sat for a
moment (be careful not to get too close as steam can burn.) Cover your
head and the bowl with the towel, creating a sort of tent that will trap
the steam. 4. Breathe deeply for 10-15 minutes. Keep a handful of tissues at the
ready! 132Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Sinus InfectionY ou will need… DirectionsHorseradish is potent, powerful, and one of the easiest ways to deal with the discomfort of a sinus infection. The
intense flavor and odor will thin out mucous and encourage your body to expel it. It is also thought to improve
facial circulation, although this has yet to be proven. The horseradish in this recipe is the fresh kind. This
pungent root should be available in the produce section of your grocery store/supermarket/co-op.Horseradish
-Fresh Horseradish
-A grater or knife1. Grate or chop a bit of fresh horseradish root. If the scent alone doesn’t
make your nose run, place a bit in your mouth and hold it there for a
minute. Y ou should notice an effect taking place quite quickly. Again,
have tissues at the ready. 133Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Sinus InfectionY ou will need… DirectionsGarlic juice is strong smelling and powerful. When used directly in the nasal passages it can help thin out
mucous and make it easier to expel.Garlic Juice
-1-2 cloves of fresh garlic
-Cotton swabs1. Crush 1-2 cloves of fresh, firm, garlic and soak the ends of the cotton
swab in the juice that comes out. Swab just inside of each nostril-no
need to jam it in there- and wait for mucous to loosen. Y ou can also use
a juicer, or purchase garlic juice, and try mixing it into some water and
drinking it to help clear out your sinuses. 134Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Sinus InfectionY ou will need… DirectionsMany health conditions don’t just affect the person experiencing them,
but their friends and family as well. Snoring, while it may not sound like
the most dramatic example, is one such condition. Couples in particular
tend to be negatively impacted by snoring, and as anyone who has
dealt with it knows, it’s not fun to have to elbow your partner or flip them
onto their side just so you can get a good night’s rest. Come morning

A. Components of BCEC
systems
Chemical reactions in vivo differ from chemical reac·
tions in vitro by usually being isothermic. Biologic
reactions are often modulated in many ways which are
energetically economical and functionally highly dif·
ferentiated. Acceptance of the principle of BCEC
means that a variety of closed circuit functions, com·
monplace in contemporary electronic technolog y,
should also have their correspondence in biology. This
correspondence includes not only the functions which
drive the circuits hut also the influences of "locat'•
reactions along electrochemical gradients over BCEC
branches, either in series or in parallel. As will be
seen, ionic and nonionic compounds each interact jn a
way that makes selective distribution and modulation
of energy possible over short and long distances. BCEC therefore represent, in the author's view, an
important circulatory system in addition to the me·
chanically driven circulation of blood. Components of
this circulatory system are listed in Table XIII: I. Selective distributions of compounds thereby be·
come possible, even against existing pressure gradi·
ents, and may contribute, for example, to homeostasis. 152 Energetics, ionars and ergonars As far as can be seen now, the mechanical transport
system and the electrochemical BCEC systems arc
closely integrated both morphologically and function
ally. Future evaluations of the function of the combi·
nation of the two systems will, however, require a

cuJC$ operating BCEC con&iderobly more differentiated knowledge of the
BCEC systems than is presently available. The follow
ing presentation will focus on the important problem
of how BCEC systems can be activated and utilized in
the transfer of energy in tissues. We will start with a
general presentation of the author's view on the energy
available for such functions. This introductory presen
tation is intended only as a preliminary approach to
ward understanding the associated complicated prob
lems. These problems are indeed a consequence of the
recognition of the concept of BCEC. The energy which can drive a BCEC needs first to
be identified and defmed. One group of energetic
compounds is primarily ionic and supplies electric (or
more precisely, physicochemical ) energy to the sys
tem. The other group consists of primarily nonionic
energetic compounds. In order to facilitate handling of
the actual problems it is now necessary tO introduce
new, if tentative, terminology (Table XIII: 2). The term ergon (Greek, ergon = work) is used here
to mean a nonionic compound possessing potential
electric energy, as distinguished from an ionic com
pound possessing immediately available electric ener
gy, in a BCEC system. These two types of energy
compounds are integrated in the energy conversion of
BCEC systems as ionic and ergonic collections called
ionars and ergonars, respectivel y. Together these col
lections are termed ergionars. The need for a distinc
tion between ionic and ergonic energies is a conse
quence of the important differences of their energetic
behaviour in a BCEC. Similarly, their appearance as
ionars and ergonars has a particular meaning in closed
circuit energy exchange. Examples of ergonars in
clude oxygen, glucose, neutral fat, ATP, NADPH1
and nonpolar amino acids, e.g., leucine, valine, methi
onine and phenylalanine. Water may also be included
in this group although it can be regarded in many
respects as a special type of matrix material. BCEC systems require electric energy, supplied di
rectly by ions or indirectly by ergons (after their acti
vation). The electric potentials for redox half-reactions
of ions and ergons can be defined by standard reduc
tion potentials. In Table XIII: 3 some known redox
potentials are presented (3, 20). Reduction or oxidation of ergons creates ions, which
in turn by oxidation or reduction may cre-dte ergonic
compounds. In this way we may regard ergonars as
precursors of ionars and vice versa. Table XIII: 3 does
not tell us when, where and under what biologic cir
cumstances these reactions take place. The answers to
these questions require further discussion of the con
cepts of ionars, ergonars and BCEC. Ionars and ergonars represent two types of biologic
bulk energy. Ergonars are electrically noncharged
packages of energy. Their arrivals at places which are
suitable for release of this energy depend mainly on Table XIII: 2. Energy in BCEC 1Y1tan.J: termmolog;y

diffusion and mechanical transport from the places of
production. Glucose, for example, after liberation
from glycogen in the liver, does not "waste" its energy
during transport in the blood stream. On arriving at a
suitable site of reaction, e.g., a working muscle, it
contributes to the need of energy of the local tissue. During transport in bodily fluids, ions will create
electromagnetic fields in surrounding tissue. Ergons
do not. Selective electrophoretic transport of material
according to electric gradients is the case with ionars. Such transport is not possible for ergonars. Neverthe
less, ergonars may undergo electrogenic transport, me
diated by a suitable matrix. Differences of this kind
appear to be important for differentiated transport of
energttic compounds in tissue. An electrochemical
gradient caused by ionars, e.g., from local metabolic

  and  the
Love  of the Ascended  Host  of Light,  I call  forth  the Ful-
ness of Its Infinite  Enfolding  Presence;  and  may  This
Radiance  released  tonight,  fill you  and  your  world  with
such  Joy,  Courage,  Strength,  Happiness  and  Dominion,
that never  again  from  this  hour,  will  anything  but Perfec-
tion touch  or fill your  world. I thank  you. DISCOURSE  XVIII
February  6,1938
SAN  FRANCISCO,  CALIFORNIA
Beloved  Students  and  Friends,  while  I know  quite  well
you are not looking  for it, yet shall  I give  you  outwardly,
some  Reward  for your  great  Love  and  kindness;  which  has
made  it possible  in this  Class,  to do for you,  your  city  and
America  that  which  is far beyond  anything,  We  had  ex-
pected  to accomplish. The human  creation  has been  completely  dissolved  and
consumed,  for three  hundred  seventy-three  people  who
have  been  in this  Class. We could  scarcely  have  hoped  for
such  an Achievement. We feel  it quite  unnecessary  to enu-
merate  those  Individuals;  but I am sure  within  a few  days,
many  will  know  definitely. In the limited  human  concepts,  I realize  it is not easy  for
you to comprehend,  what  your  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has
accomplished  in Europe. This  is the point  I wish  every  one
of you,  to know  definitely:  You  have  been  a part  of That
Accomplishment  by the Harmony,  the Love  and  Kindness
which  you  have  released  here. Do you  clearly  and  fully
understand  yet, the Release  of your  energy  thru  the atomic
structure  of your  body,  is imperative  in Our  need  today ? We must  have  a contact  thru  the  physical  substance  of
Earth. 228 DISCOURSE  XVIII  229
We have  left this  octave  and  it is mankind  who  has cre-
ated these  conditions. Individuals  must  of their  own  voli-
tion release  energy  thru  the human  structure;  which  makes
it possible  for Us to give  the Assistance  mankind  needs. It
would  be impossible,  and  I say  so frankly,  for people  of
their  own  volition,  without  Our  Assistance  to protect  them-
selves  in America  today. I think  you  do not comprehend  Beloved  Saint  Germain's
Reference  to what  He did  in Europe. It should  have  con-
veyed  to you  the need  of Our  Assistance! The  Law  of Life
is such,  We may  not intrude  Ourselves  upon  you;  much  as
We have  always  wished  to give  Assistance. There  are
enough  in America  understanding,  the Presence—and  each
day the Understanding  is growing  clearer,  for the students
everywhere  to know  the necessity  of releasing  This  Energy. Why  do you  suppose  We  urged,  and  urged,  the use of
these  Decrees ? Because  We  found  it the only  and  possibly
the best  manner  of getting  you  to release  the energy,  which
We require! We  amplify  the energy  required,  to perform
This  Service  of Protection  for you  and  America. I think  you
more  clearly  than  ever  before  understand  it. You have  had  the proof  in your  own  experience  here,  of
what  it means  to step  up your  Decrees  and  your  singing
to a certain  tempo,  which  gives  a joyous  Release  of the en-
ergy. Do you  realize  there  is a Balance  in every  activity  of
Life? Your  scales  for weighing  the  precious  metals  are a
very  good  example. When  the Scale  of Life  stands  at Bal-
ance,  all the Forces  of your  Being  are working  Harmoni-255 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
ously  and  to the Greatest  Constructive  Purpose;  but if one
side is at a low  ebb,  then  you  are not working  to the best
advantage. When  your  Decrees  and  songs  lag in tempo,  it
means  you  are not coming  up to the point,  where  you  are
releasing  this Energy  which  We require. I am very  happy  to
make  this  so clear  to you. I want  you  Blessed  Ones  in San  Francisco  and  Los  An-
geles  to know  Our  Feeling! At the close  of this  Class  today,
We feel  that  not in four  hundred  years  have  San  Francisco
and Los Angeles  been  as safe  as they  are today. You  may  all
who  are earnest  and  sincere,  justly  take  credit  for it. I want
you, every  one  who  is sincere  and  in earnest,  to feel  how
great  a part  you  are of This  Mighty  Activity. It does  not make  one  particle  of difference  whether  you
are a frail  lady,  a child,  or a frail  gentleman;  you  can make
your  firm  determined  sincere  Call  to the Presence,  and  it
is the imperative  need. It is the Intensity  and  Honesty  of
Purpose,  which  is needed  so greatly  today;  because  the at-
mosphere  of the world  is charged  with  deceit. In the outer
activities  of mankind,  many  people  have  conceived  the idea,
if one were  a little  sharper  and  more  alert  in his employing
of shrewd  business  activities,  and  could  put something  over
on another,  it was  all right. THAT  DAY  HAS  PASSED,
BELOVED  ONES,  FOREVER  FROM  THE  EARTH;
AND  NO  ONE  WILL  EVER  AGAIN  SUCCEED  IN
THE  FUTURE  WHO  PRACTICES  DECEIT. Whether  it be in achievement  or your  business  activity
of the  outer  world,  the Balance  of the  Scales  of Life,  is DISCOURSE  XVIII  231
going  to be compelled  by the Great  Cosmic  Light! You
will remember  this  for  some  years  to come. You  can
scarcely  hope  for things  to be Miraculously  Transformed;
but you  can enter  into  Great  Harmony  and  Perfection,  re-
gardless  of many  of mankind  who  must  still  make  Appli-
cation! YOU  CANNOT  HAVE  PERFECTION,  YOU
CANNOT  HAVE  FREEDOM,  WITHOUT  YOUR
OWN  EARNEST  SINCERE  APPLICATION. THAT
IS YOUR  PART  OF  THE  BALANCE  TO  LIFE! Life has  been  supplying  you  with  Energy  all thru  the
centuries  and  what  have  you  given  back  to Life ? The  only
Judge  of that  is your  Higher  Mental  Body. It has  a Full
and Complete  Record,  as to the Constructive  or destructive
activities  which  you  have  served. After  all which  has been  said,  I am quite  sure  now,  you
realize  not one  human  Being  can  be Free,  who  refuses  to
give obedience  to Our  Humble  Requests  and  maintain
Harmony  in the feeling! Let  us draw  a crude  illustration. In your  electrical  power  house  which  supplies  the current
of energy  for your  cities,  if the wheels  and  other  things  in
that mechanism  were  out of order,  how  long  do you  think
you would  have  your  electricity  or Light? Your  feeling
world  represents  identically  die same  thing  to you;  because
it is your  Power-house! If it is in turmoil  and  you  are dis-
turbed,  then  how  can  the Light  within  you  go forth  and
harmonize  and  accomplish  what  you  wish?


ART RA TE V ARIABILITYWhile we often associate heartbeats with rhythm and may believe an
absolutely regul ar heartbeat is a healthy one, heartbeats are not all the
same.9 In fact, they change constantly, and the more coherent the
fluctuations are in speed and intensity, the healthier you are likely to be,
both mentally and physically.16 The heart is not a metronome. Its
oscillations are complex and constantly changing. The cardiovascular
system needs to adjust to external and internal stimuli to maintain
homeostasis. Heart rate variability  (HRV) measures the difference between
consecutive heartbeats. In clinical settings, readings are taken to the
millisecond with the help of an ECG signal. With modern technology, you
can now measu re your own HRV using a smart watch or other wearable
fitness tracker. Results are presented as time series data, a way of recording
information collected over a period of time to show variations  within that
period. Daily high and low tide data is a familiar use of a data time series. Using HRV as an objective indicater of fitness and resilience has been
gaining traction among fitness enthusiasts. While many people enjoy using
gadgets and apps to measure their own HRV, remember that technology
doesn’ t change HRV; it simply provides the information that allows you to
assess it. HRV is predominantly controlled by the ANS. Growing evidence
associates an ANS imbalance with a higher prevalence of disease and death,
which makes HRV a useful tool in predicting and assessing illness. When
you are in a fight-or -flight state, HRV changes. As the system restores
homeostasis, those changes settle down. However, if the body is under
constant stress, the heart rate becomes less resilient and less flexible. The
variation between oscillations decreases, and the body can’t shift gears as
easily. The potential impact is massive. Because lower HRV can be caused
by stress, emoti onal distress and chronic stress directly impact wellness. Studies indicate,  for example, that stress increases the risk of heart attack in
people who have no prior heart disease and that emotions like anger,
hostility, and aggressiveness can contribute to coronary artery disease.10
HRV declines significantly with poor health.20,21 People who are
emotionally sick, older, or less physically fit often have a lower HRV.16
High concentrations of cortisol are associated with low HRV,8 and HRV isan estab lished tool in diagnosing diabetic neuropathy, the nerve damage,
often to the legs and feet, suffered by diabetics. Correlations have also been
found between changes to HRV and many high-mortality conditions,
including heart disease, cancer, stroke, Alzheimer ’s, diabetes, chronic lower
respiratory diseases, and intentional self-harm. Low HRV is related to a wide range of physical and mental illnesses
and a lower life expectancy.8 Even the stress caused by a single significant
life event can have an impact. Scientists looking at the health of divorced
people discovered that particip ants who had gone through a marriage
breakdown had a lower resting HRV than those who were married.22 The
upset caused by divorce actually made those people less healthy. While low HRV is associated with disease, people with high HRV are
likely to be healthier, both physically and mentally. All of this explains why
some people seem to be more resilient to stress, better able to field
challenging situations and take difficulties in their stride, while others get
thrown off balance. Scientists have so far failed to find satisfying answers
about the genetics of the stress response,23 but inherited conditions can
certainly contri bute to aspects of health that result in low HRV. For
example, studies  have shown that vagal tone is passed on from mother to
child.24 Mothers who are depressed,  anxious, and angry during their
pregnancy have lower vagal activity. Once the baby is born, he or she also
displays a low vagal tone. The good news is that it is possible to build better vagal tone. Just one
note of caution: it is not always better to increase vagal tone.25 For instance,
parasympathetic hyperactivity can occur in athletes who overtrain. Several
studies indicate that symptoms  of overreaching may be relate d to down-
regulation of the SNS and/or changes in the balance between  vagal and
sympathetic tone. This can cause fatigue and adversely affect performance
during periods of regular competition.26 The key is to optimize  HRV, not
just blindly augment it. Slow breathing at 4.5 to 6.5 breaths per minute has
been found to optimize sympathovagal balance, creating an ideal balance
between the two branches of the autonomic nervous system.27
Because it is closely connected with the working of the ANS, especially
the parasympathetic branch (PNS), HRV is considered a reliable measure of
how well the vagus nerve is working, that is, of vagal tone. Scientistsbelieve that vagal tone in the heart forms one of the connectio ns between
breathing and emotion.28 It is influenced by the breath and is essential to the
stimulation of the vagus nerve, which is closely tied to aspects of human
connection such as emotional regulation, reactivity, expression, empathy,
and attachment. At the other end of the emotional spectrum, dysfunction of
the ANS is common to people suffering from anxiety, depression, PTSD,
panic disorder, and other stress-related mental and physical conditions. Parallels have even been found between vagal tone and cognitive functions
such as visual recognition memory and alertness. HRV, used as a measure
of vagal tone, provides doctors with a way to physically quantify stress and
vulnerability to stress. That means that stress can be defined by its effect on
the function of systems like the heart, rather than just on the way a
challenging life event makes you feel. RSA: THE HEAR T-BREA TH CONNECTION
The activity of the vagus nerve can be accurately measured using HRV and
the way the heart interacts with the breath. When vagal tone is healthy,
there are small differences in heart rate during the in-breath (when it speeds
up) and out-brea th (when it slow s down). Inhaling, an increase in heart rate
is caused by a rhythmic partial withdrawal of vagal tone. Exhaling, a
release of acetylcholine causes the heart to slow, just as it did in Loewi’ s
frog. This phenomenon is called respiratory sinus arrhythmia  (RSA). It’s a
good indicator of how well the nervous system is functioning. In simple
terms, HRV measures rhythmic changes between heartbeats, whereas RSA
is HR V in synchronicity with the breath. For most of us, breathing frequency is around 9 to 24 breaths per
minute.16 Corresponding oscillations in heart rate that produce respiratory
sinus arrhythmia can be regarded as the effects of breathing on the region of
the heart that initiates the electrical impulses for it to contract. The
oscillations of RSA can be affected by stress, alterations in breathing
patterns, or sudden bouts of exercise. RSA controls the rate of gas exchange
inside the alveo li, the tiny air sacs in the lungs.16 The heart beats faster
when the air in the lungs is richest with oxygen, whereas the impulse to
exhale is triggered when CO2 in the lungs is highest. Gas exchange is mostefficient when the heart rate is synchronized with the breath such that the
heartbeat begins  to increase at the start of an inhalation and begins to
decrease at the start of an exhalation. RSA is controlle d entirely by the vagus nerve. Mirroring the function of
the ANS,16 it reveals how well the parasympathetic (or rest and digest)
branch is working.29 Because the vagus nerve activates during the
exhalation, many studies have explored whether longer exhalations and
slower breathing  would produce greater differences in RSA and HRV. HRV
is linked to breathing frequency, and greater changes occur when the breath
is controlled and slower. Reducing the rate of respiration, increasing the
amount of air delivered to the lungs with each breath, and breathing from
the diaphragm have all been shown to increase RSA significantly. The best
results for HRV, RSA, barore flex sensitivity (more on this later), and
optimal gas exchange are achiev ed with a breathing rate of 5.5 or 6 breaths
per minute.27 It has also been  suggested that RSA has a central role in the
resting state of the cardiorespira tory system. RSA maximizes during sleep,
relaxation, and slow, deep breathing but is reduced in states of anxiety.27
Energy expenditure is naturally minimized with improved pulmonary gas
exchange. HRV BIOFEEDBACK
In the 1990s, clinician and research psychologist Paul Lehrer and his
colleagues began to experiment with heart rate variability biofeedback
(HRVB). The central focus of the technique is on slowing the breath to
obtain beat-by-beat heart rate data so the participant can maximize RSA and
match it to heart rate patterns. The participant uses feedback or a breath-
pacing device to produce a heartbeat more rhythmically “in tune” with the
breath. This synchronization provides the best conditions for gas exchange
in the lungs. Significant evidence supports the benefits


% and
respiratory resistance becomes greater. The diaphragm is displaced upward
by abou t five centimeters, increasing its ability to generate tension as
muscle fibers lengthen. 19 The diaphragm may have to work harder as load
increases, but widening of the chest prevents further loss of lung volume. 20
The gradual extension of the abdominal muscles causes their fibers to
lengthen by up to 115%, their thickness reduces, and their angle of function
changes. This inhibits their ability to stabilize the pelvis—which may be a
factor in back pain during pregnancy. 19. Around 70% of healthy pregnant women report breathlessness during
their daily activities. This often begins during the first trimester, suggesting
that mechanical changes to the diaphragm and lungs are not to blame. It is
more likely that breathlessness is caused either by hyperventilation
associated with pregnancy or by a heightened perception of respiratory
discomfort as the result of increased ventilation. Not surprisingly, the incidence of sleep-disordered breathing increases
among pregnant women. The physiological and anatomic al changes
intrinsic to gestation can unma sk or exacerbate obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA). 21 If this is left untreated, the limitations in upper airway flow can
lead to serious consequences for both maternal and fetal health. While not
the focus here, it should be noted that, generally in the realm of respiratory
disorders, uncontrolled maternal asthma has been found to be associated
with an increased risk of spontaneous abortion. 22Healthcare providers should screen expectant mothers for OSA to
ensure the well-being of both mother and baby. This is especiall y important
in preeclampsia, a primary cause of maternal and fetal illness and mortality,
which sleep-diso rdered breathing has been proven to increase the risk and
severity of. It is believed that the repetitive limitations to airflow that occur
during sleep-disordered breathing are linked to surges in nocturnal blood
pressure and poor health in both mother and baby—and may be just as
damaging as full apneas. 21
One 2016 paper about OSA during pregnancy describes sleep apnea as a
modern epidemic. 23 It is now accepted that the condition is widespread in
women, particu larly during pregnancy. According to curren t evidence,
sleep-disordered breathing is present in 50% of high-risk pregnancies and in
15% of otherwise healthy, obese  pregnant women. It should be no surprise
that pregnancy contributes to sleep disorders. By its nature, it causes
anatomical, physiological, and hormonal changes, including narrowing of
the uppe r respir atory tract, which can increase the risk of OSA or worsen
existing apneas. 24
During pregnancy, OSA contributes to a five-fold increase in maternal
mortality due to complications including pulmonary embolism23 (a
blockage of an artery in the lungs). A 15-year study of matern al deaths in
Michigan found a connection with OSA and sleep-disordered breathing and
demonstrated that, even after the birth, OSA presents a risk for women. 25
Maternal OSA has also been linked to poor fetal outcomes, fetal growth
restriction,23 low birth weight,26 preterm delivery,23 cesarea n sectio n, and
preeclampsia. 27,28 It has been connected to a low Apgar score in babies in
the five minutes after delivery. 24 The Apgar score is a generalized measure
of health  that assesses appearance (skin color), pulse (heart rate), grimace
response (reflexes), activity (muscle tone), and respiration (breathing rate
and effort). 29 A 2012 study set out to determine whether poor pregnancy
outcomes were related to OSA. It concluded that babies are at an increased
risk of complications in the areas previously listed when the mother has
sleep apnea. This can impact the health of the child long term. 24
Children born significantly preterm commonly suffer from medical
problems and growth restrictions in early childhood. 30 They frequently have
lower weight, height, and head circumference than their classmates. Thepreterm children were much more likely than normal term children to have
serious dental malocclusions, and deep bite and overjet were also
prevalent. 30 According to pediatric dentist Dr. Kevin Boyd, restricted fetal
growth can cause problems that will result in suboptimal airway  health once
the baby is born. In Chapter Eight, we discussed how dental problems and
compromised airways in children can lead to childhood mouth breathing,
and subsequent cognitive, developmental, and behavioral issues. When fetal development is poor due to frequent drops in blood oxygen,
as can be the case for mothers with OSA, the baby may have cognitive
problems that progress into child hood and may not receive appro priate care. A 2020 review confirmed that children with restricted inter-uterine growth
and small birth weight had significantly lower cognitive scores than those
born at an average gestational age. 31 While these children had similar
cognitive scores to those born preterm, they were unlikely to receive the
follow-on care or to be included in the rehabilitation programs that are
available to preterm babies. 31
Another review explored the role of placenta health in chronic  disease
later in adulthood. 32 Much research has demonstrated how low birth weight
contributes to the onset of certai n diseases, including obesity, heart disease,
stroke, and diabetes. Chronic hypoxia and elevated stress levels, both
symptomatic of sleep apnea, cause changes to the organs of the unborn
baby. The review cites a study of 187 men and 47 women that found that
sudden cardiac death was linked  to a thin placenta at birth. Fetal  growth and
lifelong health can be strongly  influenced by the health of the placenta,
which requires continual adequate oxygenation through healthy breathing
during pregnancy. ANXIETY DURING PREGNANCY AND AFTER
Anxiety in new mothers is common. As a woman takes on a new role and
new responsibilities, it could be considered an appropriate adaptive
response. 33 However, some mothers suf fer with severe, invalidating anxiety,
depression, and other mood disorders in the period shortly before and after
the birth of their child. Hormone fluctuations can play a part, as can
psychological issues—perceived  or real challenges and fear— which mayincrease in the case of an unexpected or unwanted pregnancy,33 or when
assisted reproductive technology has been used. 34
It is now genera lly acknowledg ed that new mothers are vulnerable to
postpartum depression, but the prevalence of anxiety disorders during
pregnancy has not been as wide ly studied. Many women experience new or
worsening anxie ty symptoms in the months before and after birth: 21% of
women have clinically significa nt anxiety during pregnancy, and 64% of
these women continue to suffer with anxiety after giving birth. 33 Research
suggests that prenatal anxiety is a major factor in susceptibility to postnatal
depression. Untreated anxiety and depression, which often exist
comorbidly, can have a serious impact on the mother and baby. 33 Anxiety
during pregnancy can contri bute to numerous problems, including
preeclampsia, more time off work, nausea, increased visits to healthcare
providers, spontaneous early labor and delivery, low birth weight, difficulty
breastfeeding, and a more difficult birth with an increased likelihood of
PTSD. Pregnancy-related or postpartum anxiety can produce feelings of
constant worry, fatigue, nervousness, insomnia, mood swings, poor focus or
memory, hot flashes, nausea, and sleep disturbance. At its worst,
postpartum anxiety inhibits the mother ’s ability to care for her child,
causing conside rable distress and resulting in a sickly infant or even
infanticide. There isn’t much information about generalized anxiety in pregnant
women and new mothers, although it is believed that anxiety is more
prevalent in postpartum women than in the general population. In one study,
between 10% and 50% of new mothers with anxiety also displayed
symptoms of depression. 35 In another, 65% with generalized anxiety also
reported depres sion, panic disorder, or agoraphobia. It is believed that
generalized anxiety lasting more than six months may be more common in
postnatal women33 and that anxiety in new mothers is actually more
common than depression. 35 It can be challenging to achieve a clear
diagnosis of anxiety during pregnancy because it is normal for women to
experience a certain level of worry at this time. 36 Also, there is no data
about preexisting anxiety disord ers in women before becoming pregnant, so
it is impossible to ascertain to what extent anxiety is pregnancy related. Generalized anxiety disorder during pregnancy can present as
nervousness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, persistent “worry” thoughts,
muscle tension, and sleep distur bance. Due to the physiological changes of
pregnancy, especially hormone-induced hyperventilation, pregnant women
may be at greater risk for panic disorder. While there is research suggesting
that pregnancy may provide some kind of protection against panic
symptoms, the role of premenstrual hormone changes in panic disorder
suggests that fluctuations in sex hormones make new mothers more
vulnerable to anxiety and panic disorder. 36 One review has confirmed this
increased susceptibility,37 and some researchers hypothesize that this may
be due to the sharp drop in progesterone


oned for, it remains an active toxin poisoning your life. Amends that are 20 years late are still amends that need to be made. If
you hurt other people, then even if they don’ t consciously remember what
you did to them, they carry the pain within their cells. And so do you. On
the level of spirit, we are all one, and what you have done to hurt someone
else is a hurt you carry within yourself. It can be very humbling to reach out and apologize. It can be
embarrassing at first to admit your own mistake. Y et such moments as these
are moments of mastery, freeing you from the prison of your own insanity. You have atoned for your error, and you are free to begin again. Your willingness to make amends to those you hurt in the past carries
with it more power than a thousand diet plans. The fear -mind is a false
sense of oneself as an isolated and separate human being. Whenever you
make amends for having harmed another, you acknowledge that you are not
separate—that there is more to life than your own drama. Y ou acknowledge
that another person’ s experience is as important as your own, and you
realize that by hurting someone else, you have hurt yourself. This shift in your thinking—from ignoring your own transgressions to
admitting them and being willing to make amends where appropriate—is a
miracle that produces practical consequences in your life. As you reach
across the wall of separateness, the wall begins to come down. The fear -mind would ar gue that for giveness has nothing to do with your
weight or with your food issues, but if anything should be clear by now, it’s
that the fear -mind lies. Y ou’re beginning to realize that underlying every
problem in your life is a false sense of separation, between you and others
and between you and your true self. Any path to permanent weight loss addresses your sense of isolation and
the despair it spawns. Keeping love at bay, you’ve kept the healed and
peaceful you at bay. In for giving others, you’re finally free to experience
the joy of feeling close to them—with no wall between you necessary. And
in for giving yourself, you realize you deserve to look as beautiful on the
outside as you’ve remembered, at last, that you are beautiful within. Reflection and PrayerDo this meditation regarding any and every person from whom you are
separated by unfor giving thoughts or feelings. Take a deep breath and close your eyes. Now see with your inner eye a vision of that person standing on the left
side of your mind. See his or her body, clothes, mannerisms, and way of
being in the world. Now see a great light in the middle of that person’ s
heart, spreading to cover every cell of the body and extending outward
beyond the flesh and into infinity. Watch as the light becomes so bright that
his or her body begins to fade into shadow. Now gently see a vision of your own body on the right side of your inner
vision. Here, too, see your mannerisms, your clothes, your way of being in
the world. And see the same divine light in the area of your own heart,
moving outward to cover every cell of your body and extending into
infinity beyond the confines of your flesh. W atch as the light grows so
bright that your body begins to fade into shadow. Now slowly move your inner eye to the middle of your field of vision,
where the light from deep within the other person and the light from deep
within you begin to mer ge. Simply look, and allow yourself to witness this
divine oneness. The joining that you see her e is the ultimate r eality of love. Spend as much time as you can with this vision each time you do it,
hopefully a minimum of five minutes. It carries the power of a holy truth
impressed on your subconscious mind. Do this meditation again, making both people your own self. Pray for a
divine reconciliation between who you’ve been and who you really are. Rest deeply into these images, and allow their illumination to cast all
darkness from your mind. This is the highest reconciliation of all: you with
the real you. Dear God,
Please teach me to for give
myself and others. Remove the walls
that keep love out,
behind which I am prisoner. Heal my guilt
and r emove my anger, that I might be r eborn. Make gentle my heart
and str ong my spirit
and show me how to love. Amen
OceanofPDF.comLESSON 18
HONOR THE PROCESS
There’ s a possibility that you’re sick of this course by now. You might
not have even made it to this point; you might just be picking up the book,
opening it wherever, and simply happen to be reading this. Y ou might be
thinking that it’ s all too hard, too confronting, or even a bunch of nonsense. You might not have seen any real changes on your scale or in your mirror
yet, and have decided that by Lesson 18 you should be having some
success. Clearly this is not a miracle, and you might as well just for get it. See how the fear -mind works? That’ s how the fear -mind works in everyone. For one person, she
shouldn’ t even try to finish writing that novel, because she never will and
she’s not a good writer anyway—according to the fear -mind. For another,
he shouldn’ t even bother going to that interview because he’ s been out of
circulation too long, and companies are only hiring younger people anyway
—according to the fear -mind. For another, she shouldn’ t even try to dress
up and look nice, because she’ s not attractive anyway—according to the
fear-mind. The fear -mind lives in everyone, but it speaks dif ferently to all
of us. T o you, it just happens to be obsessed with your weight, because you
are. Learning to live with the common disappointments and failures of the
human experience—particularly with how the fear -mind interprets them—is
key to developing spiritual mastery. Mastery doesn’ t mean you get to the point where nothing ever goes
wrong; it means you get to the point where you can endure and transform
what’ s wrong. Mastery means you rise up more often than you sink in life,
not because in you there is no undertow, but because you’ve learned to
swim well. Y ou’re spiritually strong and in shape. Y ou’ve developed yourattitudinal muscles, and they can carry you when you’re feeling the
gravitational pull of whatever your temptation might be. Mastery is not superhuman, but deeply human; embracing rather than
resisting the realization that on certain days you’ll feel like master of
nothing and slave to lots of things. Do not let the fact that you have fallen
off the wagon, are falling of f the wagon, haven’ t lost any weight yet, can’ t
stand to do the lessons, or still feel like a big fat loser deter you. This is all
part of the process. And your success is guaranteed. Now the fear -mind gets really activated. “What do you mean,  my success
is guaranteed?! Guaranteed by whom? ” Almost as in, how dare I say that? But it’ s my faith—and you can lean on mine if you wish—that God will
wipe away every tear, that He will outwit all self-hatred, and that in Him is
the victory as soon as we give to Him the fight. None of that means that every day will be a happy one. Serious weight
loss is a deeply transformative experience; you’re breaking a chain that has
held you tight for a very long time, and it’ s only reasonable to expect that
some days will be harder than others. This is not just a physical battle; it is a
spiritual battle. The fear -mind has robbed you of your self-control … and
God is taking it back. Winston Churchill famously told British troops during W orld W ar II:
“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is,
perhaps, the end of the beginning.” This course is not something that is all
over in 21 lessons. It is a means to weight loss and also weight-loss
maintenance. What it lays out is not a goal so much as a process by which
the goal will be achieved. Y ou do not do it solely to lose weight, but in
order to become the most shining expression of who you are as a human
being. If your only goal is to lose weight, then hopefully you will do so, but
you’ll still be left with other issues to deal with that cannot be denied. Issues in your life seemingly unrelated to weight have accumulated around
your relationship to food. In any moment when you feel overwhelmed by a passion to overeat,
remember that the passion itself is not the problem. The problem is that in a
moment of insane eating, your passion for life is displaced onto something
that doesn’ t give you life but rather sucks life from you. This course isbuilding a detour, redirecting your passion away from food and back to
God. To which the fear -mind says, “Screw you. I won’ t do it.” Just want to
make sure you realize that. The mind cannot serve two masters, and never
in your life has the choice between the two been so clear. In any moment,
you are either host to God or hostage to the fear -mind. It is not enough


 The human soul is a direct opening into the
world of things from the secret presence of universal self — incomplete,
yes, partially manifested, yes — embarked upon a self-seeking journey
called life, and this is the drama of existence and evolution being played out
upon this mortal sphere. To choose is to exercise divinity within. It is choice alone that is indicative
of higher spiritual and mental development. By it we recognize both
intellect and character. The person who is able to transcend the limitations
and blandishments of the sensual world stands like a colossus on the
evolutionary stage of life. They have likened themself to God by
uncovering essential freedom within, through deciding the direction in
which they will grow. Choice always presupposes sacrifice, for one does
not decide in favor of one thing without deciding against another. Nothing
is ever achieved or gained without giving up something else. It is this law of
sacrifice under which all things live, by which they grow and evolve and
aspire. The acceptance and knowledge of sacrifice alleviates much pain, for
when we truly understand that we can have one thing only by giving up
another, we hold on to all possessions with loose hands, prepared to let
them go at any time. They do not belong to us alone; they are ideas
proceeding out of universal mind and therefore under the mutual ownership
of everyone. Pain and Gr owth

Life sometimes seems to bend us terrifically, to put us under a strain we
scarcely are able to bear, to involve us in conflicts that are beyond our scope
to solve; but we are what we are only because we aspire to be greater, andthe obstacles and the pain we meet with in life are only the result of our
efforts to break out of the encysting shell of the ego and to grow outward in
effectiveness and understanding. “The Archer,” writes Kahlil Gibran, “sees
the mark upon the path of the Infinite, and He bends you with His might,
that His arrows may go swift and far. ” The ends of things do not reveal
themselves to the finite human mind; they are only partially available to our
intuitive faculties and then only insofar as we understand that life’ s goals
and methods are in the hands of a greater power than us. Our real vocation
is to fathom our relationship to this power, to develop complete faith and
trust in it, to realize that nothing rests in our own hands except the
determination of the direction in which we will grow. Choice implies freedom, and whether we are free or automatons has long
been a favorite ar gument of religious sects and philosophers. Any power
capable of creating the world and overseeing the orderly process of
evolution must know exactly where it is going and how it intends to get
there. Its course cannot possibly be altered by any one of the finite minds it
has created. All the events that have happened in the world must have been
preordained, for only through their orderly occurrence has it been possible
for life to take the direction it has taken. Y et within the absolutely rigid
scope of the occurrence of these events each of us is free, because we have
innate within us the power to assume any of the roles that have to be played
within any event; and it is we, ourselves, who choose in the end the role we
will play. Since the universal self creates all things from itself, it is in actual
truth all things and therefore does not consider life in terms of people but
only in terms of events. Events would approximate thoughts in the mind of
a supreme being, whose split into myriad manifestations would be to ensure
that it participated in all areas of each event in a form best suited to that
participation. Thus the Secret Self permeates all events, and the countless
forms it assumes, the multiplicity of masks that it dons to play its various
roles, appear separate and unique only to other incompletely manifested
beings, never to itself. Freeing Psychic Energy
Our egoistic sense of separateness is an illusion deliberately fostered in our
mental and psychic makeup so that we are able to perform within the scope
of the kind of people we are. Y et there is no absolute decree that we must do
so, for at the same time that the illusion was fostered in us, power to break
it was implanted also. By recognizing our ability to condition our own
consciousness, we can expand that consciousness to encompass any role we
choose to play, and that is why we inherently are free and why each person
carries within them the power to master their own fate. Decision looses a terrific psychic ener gy. It frees within us potentialities and
possibilities we are not even aware of. T o make up your mind is a wondrous
thing. It directs you toward your mental image, sets you on the path to its
realization with an ener gy that springs out of subterranean recesses. Whatever you do you will do twice as well if you make up your mind what
you wish to accomplish. Even such a simple thing as trying to cross a street
becomes easier once you make up your mind that you will not attempt it
until there is a break in the traf fic. Y ou will not stamp the pavement then,
apprehensively watching the approaching cars with an eye toward making a
sudden spurt. Y ou will know that such ener gy is wasted. Y ou will stand
patiently, serene and sure, because you have made up your mind. Every task
in life can be likened to this simple illustration. The person who enters into activity without making up their mind what they
want to do and how they wish to accomplish it wastes their ener gies
considering unsuitable possibilities as they proceed. Some people say that
to make up your mind gives you tunnel vision; you never alter course
because you cannot see your surroundings. But all possibilities are inherent
in all situations at all times. They exist in each situation before we enter it. Only those possibilities appear to us that we are able to envisage in our
minds, but the picture we have should be the result of our choice. People to
whom possibilities appear other than the one they set out to accomplish are
those who have not made definite decisions; they have allowed the images
in their minds to change, and this changing alters the situation in which they
find themselves. Decide and the T ools Ar e Given

Decision is such an important part of everyday living. The coach befor e his
team in the locker r oom attempts to inculcate in each member of that team a
decision to win. Failur e to make this decision is almost certain to r esult in
defeat, for without it the pictur es that form in the mind ar e too easily
changed in favor of defeat when negative cir cumstances develop. When you
decide to accomplish something, you mentally toughen yourself to under go
the rigors and privations necessary to attaining the goal. This, above all,
calls for tough-mindedness. The athlete who makes up their mind that they
will swim the English Channel has to make up their mind also that they will
continue swimming, no matter how tir ed they get. If they make a decision to
swim the channel and that decision does not include a knowledge of the
tiredness they ar e bound to encounter, then they have not truly made a
decision at all, and the first time tir edness seeps thr ough to their
consciousness, pictur es form of not swimming the channel, and they ar e
finished. The kind of mental picture that assures success is the kind that is set into the
mind with a conviction that is unshakable, that survives all onslaughts,
obstacles, detours. Such inner conviction inspires great courage and ener gy. It is the mental picture held by all who achieve and accomplish, who get
things done. Many people think they want things but simply do not have
sufficient desire to maintain their mental image in the face of negative
circumstances. One has to want something badly in order to persevere in the
face of misfortune and defeat. If we accept the sidetracking of our plans as
evidence that they never will be realized, then it is a certainty that we never
will accomplish anything. No path is easy except one that leads downhill. If
we aspire, we must climb, and climbing takes ef fort and sweat and a
willingness to continue in the face of all dif ficulties. People climb
mountains not just because the mountains are there but because they want
to get to the top. It is this inner instinct to overcome obstacles, to rise above
circumstance, to win out over all odds, that has carried life on its triumphal
emer gence from amoeba to astronaut. Mental T oughness

We have to be tough with ourselves because it is easy to sink into lethar gy
and for get our aspirations. If we want to hitch a ride on life’ s express and
really go somewhere, we have to be prepared to be shaken up en route; we
have to know we will under go pain, and we have to be prepared to endure
it. All of us are inclined to be too soft with ourselves. W e want to be sure
that we don’ t work too hard, that we guard against tension, but the truth is
that we make ourselves strong by lifting weights, by entering conflict. W e
achieve physical health by exercise, by the constant use of our bodies to
reach some goal. W e achieve mental health by the same path

	of	Vaccination	By	Compulsion. The

forcible	introduction	of	pus	into	the	body	of	man,	woman	and	child,	with	or

without	his	consent,	is	a	threat	to	personal	liberty,	is	unconstitutional	and	a	crime

against	humanity. These	outrages	are	committed	daily	in	all	parts	of	the	world	in

the	name	of	Science	and	Medical	Progress. Medical	Practitioners,	supported	by

their	Powerful	Commercial	Allies	have	supported	this	insidious	practice	and	are

responsible	for	introducing	compulsory	vaccination	laws. Supreme	Court	Justice	Cardozo	stated	that:	"Every	human	being	of	adult	years

and	of	sound	mind	has	a	right	to	determine	what	shall	be	done	to	his	own	body;

and	a	surgeon	who	performs	an	operation	without	his	patient’s	consent	commits

an	assault	for	which	he	is	liable	in	damages. " The	Supreme	Court	of	Massachusetts	handed	down	a	decision,	stating	that:

“If	a	person	should	not	be	willing	in	his	case	and	the	authorities	should	think

otherwise,	it	is	not	in	their	power	to	vaccinate	him	by	force. " The	verdict	rendered	by	the	prominent	U.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: According to the passage, how many cases of polio were reported in Massachusetts in 1954?,
A: The passage does not mention the exact number of cases reported in 1954. However, it mentions that the number of cases in 1955 was 2,027.
Q: What is the author's opinion on the effectiveness of vaccination?,
A: The author is strongly opposed to vaccination and believes it to be a dangerous and ineffective practice.
Q: What is the purpose of the US Public Health Service?,
A: The author believes that the US Public Health Service is being used to promote the interests of the pharmaceutical industry and to deceive the public.
Q: Who is the author of the book "By Compulsion"?,
A: The author of the book "By Compulsion" is Dr. Diehl.
Q: What is the author's opinion on the effectiveness of the Salk vaccine?,
A: The author believes that the Salk vaccine is not only ineffective but also deadly and responsible for the increase in polio cases.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>They	are	getting	wise	to	the	Salk	vaccine	concoction	in	the	Far	West,	Idaho,

Oregon	and	California	having	given	evidence	they	are	seeing	thru	the

commercial	propaganda	that	has	been	making	serum	companies	and	undertakers

rich	by	selling	millions	of	shots. The	people	of	Oregon	were	chastised	in	the	newspapers	last	week	by	the	press

and	USPH	for	not	using	49,000	cubic	centimeters	of	the	state’s	"quota"	of

79,744	cc. The	state	health	officer	"threatened"	to	withdraw	these	49,000	cc	and

not	let	the	people	have	it	if	they	didn’t	use	it	at	once. The	San	Francisco	Chronicle	reports—’The	demand	for	Salk	Vaccine	has

dropped	off	to	almost	zero	in	San	Francisco,	and	apparently	in	the	rest	of	the

West.’
They	had	a	meeting	of	80	Idaho	doctors,	nurses,	public	health	officials	and

laboratory	technicians. State	officials	have	declared	an	‘indefinite	postponement’

of	any	more	mass	shots	of	its	school	children. Following	Dr.	J.	E.	Wyatt’s	frank	statement	that	Salk	Vaccine	has	given	polio	to

more	people	in	the	nation	than	it	has	protected	from	the	disease,	the	boys’

typewriters	and	mimeographs	have	been	working	overtime	to	discredit	this

intrepid	physician. The	AMA	has	been	quoted	as	saying	‘there	ain’t	no	Dr.	Wyatt’. The	USPHS	says

there	is	no	doctor	working	for	USPHS	by	that	name. This	latter	statement	is

believable,	since	it	was	a	foregone	conclusion	that	any	USPHS	doctor	or

employee	spilling	such	a	truth	as	that	would	be	summarily	separated	from	the

service. The	serum	publicists	know	their	business. The	job	now	is	to	take	the	public	mind

off	the	failure	to	wipe	out	polio	this	summer	with	Salk	vaccine. Spectacular

yarns	that	make	good	bedtime	reading	are	the	order	of	the	day. Such	as	"a

machine	that	spins	blood	plasma	and	polio	vaccine	into	a	film	thin	enough	that

virus	and	bacteria	may	be	killed	by	ultraviolet	light." This	seems	to	cancel	out

the	many	official	statements	that	Salk	vaccine	had	been	made	"safe"	after	the

many	unnecessary	polio	deaths. February	11,	1956

concoction	wasn’t	unveiled	until	April	12,	1955. Yet	he	blandly	says	that

"POLIO	GROPINGS"

By	T.	M.	Schippell,	N.	D.

HERALD	OF	HEALTH,	APRIL	1955

A	great	deal	has	been	written	about	infantile	paralysis—commonly	called	polio. Yet,	when	all	this	mass	of	material	is	analyzed,	you	discover	that	practically

nothing	whatsoever	is	known	about	this	crippling	disease. The	hundreds	of

millions	of	dollars	that	have	been	tossed	by	the	public,	during	the	past	15	years,

into	the	maw	of	the	March	of	Dimes	have	accomplished	little	or	nothing. All	of

this	straining	on	the	part	of	the	National	infantile	paralysis	organization,	instead

of	erecting	mountains	of	protection	against	polio,	has	not	resulted	in	even	a

modest	molehill. Of	course,	nobody	but	the	"insiders"	have	any	knowledge	as	to	how	many

millions	of	these	charity	dollars	have	been	cruelly	wasted. Nobody	but	the

‘insiders"	can	even	guess	the	fortunes	of	dimes	spent	in	extravagant	plans	which

came	to	naught. Nobody	but	the	"insiders"	can	even	approximate	the	plush

salaries	paid	to	useless	desk	parasites—mountebanks	who	found	"good	pickings"

along	the	trail	of	this	childhood	scourge. Before	the	advent	of	the	March	of	Dimes,	polio	was	unpredictable	and

uncheckable. With	the	lapse	of	some	15	years	and	the	expenditure,	on	haywire

polio	preventatives,	of	the	wealth	of	a	Solomon,	polio	is	still	unpredictable	and

uncheckable. Medical	experts	are	actually	as	much	in	the	dark	today—despite

their	‘past	flamboyant	promises	and	hollow	declarations	as	they	were	before

generous	and	gullible	Americans	threw	this	unlimited	golden	harvest	to	every
	crack-brained	laboratory	in	this	country. Nutritionists	believe—and	rightly	so—that,


grams (millionth of a gram)
or nanograms (billionth of a gram). One milligram of vitamin B]2 will
last you over two years, and healthy individuals usually carry around a
five-year supply. But here's the rub: Putrefaction hampers the secretion of
"intrinsic factor" in the stomach and retards the production of vitamin
Bj2. So flesh-eaters are more apt to develop a vitamin B)2 deficiency than
vegetarians. This has been known for some time and was discussed in part
in a report entitled "Vitamins of the B Complex," in the 1959 United
States Department of Agriculture Yearbook. The propaganda states just
the opposite. 9"Diet and Stress in Vascular Disease. " Journal of the American Medical Association. 176 (1961):

source for protein. Actually high-quality protein is not what we should
search for. High-quality amino acids are what we need to produce the
protein we must have. Unless eggs are eaten raw, the amino acids are
coagulated by heat and thereby lost. Even if they are eaten raw, eggs are
laid by hens that are fed arsenic to kill parasites and stimulate egg produc
tion, and you ingest some of that virulent poison. Also eggs contain
much sulfur, which puts a heavy strain on the liver and kidneys. The
beautiful human body does not require anything that stinks for its sur
vival. Eggs stink, just drop one on your driveway on a hot day and let it
sit there for about eight hours, then take a big whiff of the effluvium. There's no difference between that and putting eggs in your body at 98. 6
degrees for eight hours. The next bowel movement after the consumption
of eggs will certainly bear this out. Excuse me for being rude, but the
facts must be acknowledged. The tremendous need for protein was dealt a heavy blow by the In
ternational Society for Research on Nutrition and Vital Statistics, which
is composed of four hundred doctors of medicine, biochemistry, nutri
tion, and natural science. At a 1980 seminar in Los Angeles I came into
contact with its report that our classical protein requirement tables need
an overhaul. Meat, fish, and eggs supplement a basic diet, but a daily
intake of these foods is not necessary. " Do you know how convincing the
evidence had to be for this particular group to make this statement. Dr. Carl Lumholtz, a Norwegian scientist, conducted extensive studies
of anthropophagy (cannibalism). He indicated that some aborigine tribes
in Australia would not eat the flesh of Caucasians because it was salty and
occasioned nausea. But Asians and other native tribesmen were con
sidered good eating because their food was chiefly vegetable. 12
To maintain your life and add life to your life, it is best to predominate
your diet with those foods that are full of life\ Incidentally, the word
vegetable comes from the word vegetus, which means FULL OF LIFE. Now that the subject of protein has been explained in its relationship
to weight loss and energy, the other equally important factor in this area
is. "'["his organization is now called The International Society for Research on Civilization and En

enough sugar in the blood. To rectify this situation, simply add sugar
to the blood. It's extremely hard to have low blood sugar if you have
plenty of sugar in the blood. Here's where the confusion usually appears. It is absolutely, positively imperative that the right kind of sugar be intro
duced into the bloodstream. Any kind of processed sugar will only make
the situation worse. The kind of sugar that will do the job is the sugar
found in fresh fruit! In the fruit it's called fructose; inside the body it
turns to glucose faster than any other carbohydrate. What is essential to
remember is that the fruit must be eaten correctly. This means on an
empty stomach. Because the sugar is in its natural, organic state, it will
pass swiftly through the stomach and be in the bloodstream within an
hour. By following the program in Part Two you will automatically be eating
fruit correctly, which will help you eliminate the cause of hypoglycemia. For many people who have suffered from hypoglycemia for years without
relief, this explanation may sound overly simplified. But we have many
case histories of people with long-standing hypoglycemia. Many had con
firmed its existence with the Glucose Tolerance Test and subsequently
eliminated the problem successfully by employing the FIT FOR LIFE
technique. 102 • FIT FOR LIFE Q. Is it all right for a woman to go on the program during her pregnancy? (This is a perfect question for Marilyn to answer.) A. Yes, but preparation for a healthy child should begin before con
ception, at least six months or longer, if possible. Given the nature of
diet's importance during pregnancy, consultation with your doctor about
dietary changes is advised. However, during pregnancy it is never too late
to gradually upgrade one's diet. Whatever changes of a positive nature
are made can only improve the condition of mother and child and allow
for an easier delivery. The program fulfills all the dietary requirements for both mother and
child during gestation. Because of the ample fresh fruit recommended,
the primary requirement—abundant fuel in the form of glucose—is satis
fied. Many of the ingredients in the daily raw salads further help fulfill
the glucose requirement, and these salads provide the mother and baby
with the minerals and vitamins necessary for proper growth and develop
ment. Actually the most beneficial diet during pregnancy (and at any
other time!) is a diet that has a preponderance of raw fruit and vegetables,
and some raw nuts and seeds. This will supply all the fuel, amino acids,
minerals, fatty acids, and vitamins needed to perpetuate a high level of
health. This program is more than adequate in fulfilling these require
ments. That foods are combined properly insures that maximum nu
trients will be available for absorption at each meal with a minimum of
waste. Proper diet will insure an energetic, delightful pregnancy. Improper diet can turn this inspiring experience into an ordeal. Frequently, pregnant women are advised to drink plenty of pasteurized
milk to insure that they get enough calcium for their babies' teeth and
bones. The truth is most adults do not have the digestive enzymes lactase
and renin that are necessary to get calcium from milk, for it is bound in
the indigestible protein complement casein. In addition, pasteurization
causes the calcium to be unusable due to heat derangement.4 To insure
that they are getting adequate usable calcium, pregnant women should
remember it is readily available in abundance in fresh fruit, beans, cau-

milk.
