prefer lemon and orange.Rose & Citrus Towel
-1/2 cup of rose water
-3 drops of orange oil
-1 drop of lemon oil
-1 tablespoon of jojoba or any
liquid oil. -A smaller, clean towel or

of dried rose petals. Strain when completely cool and refrigerate for 15
minutes. 2. Mix citrus essential oils with your carrier oil, and then stir into water. It
will separate. 3. Give it a brief stir and dunk a clean washcloth in the mixture. Wring
out excess water and drape over the back of your neck. Dab a little of
the liquid on your wrists and temples as well. If you want to make extra,
simply store the rose water in the refrigerator for up to a month and add
the essential oils as needed. 102Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Hot Flashes & Night SweatsY ou will need… Directions“If sleep doesn’t serve an absolutely vital function,” the renowned sleep
researcher Allan Rechtschaffen once said, “it is the greatest mistake
evolution ever made.” –‘The Secrets of Sleep’, National Geographic,
2010
We spend a third of our lives asleep and we still don’t really understand
it, but we do understand that we can’t do without it. During sleep your
energy is boosted, vital tissues are restored, growth hormones are
released (this is why it’s emphasized that kids get enough rest) and the
brain calculates what memories to hang onto and what memories to let
go of, virtually weaving together the pieces that will make up the life you
remember. Unfortunately, for something so vital, sleep can be hard to achieve. The more we fill our lives with stress, caffeine, heavy workloads, and
anxiety; our precious moments of restoration get stripped away easier
and easier. Insomnia is another personal battle of mine that I’ve fought
for almost 4 years, and I can fully relate to the struggles it presents,
especially when it comes to medication. There are 3 main types of insomnia-transient, acute, and chronic. Transient is when you experience difficulty falling or staying asleep over
a period of several days to a week before it resolves, and acute is when
it lasts for several weeks. Chronic is the type that lasts for years, and the
majority of cases are considered a symptom of an underlying problem,
rather than a disease itself. Onto what happens when you actually need to go to sleep. The names
serotonin, melatonin, 5-hydroxy L-Tryptophan (5-HTP), and tryptophan
are mentioned a lot when it comes to helping insomnia, and it often
times sounds like they are all totally unrelated. In reality, they are all
closely connected. The little sleep dance your brain chemicals go
through is something like this-
Y ou’ve consumed tryptophan, an essential amino acid, in some form (we
must rely on outside sources to get tryptophan and all the others.) In a
two- step process that tryptophan is converted to 5-HTP, which is then
converted into serotonin. The serotonin in turn converts to melatonin,
which makes our body’s biological clock tick right, and tell us when it is
time to go to sleep and when to wake up. It is the master clock, making
us sleepy at the right time because melatonin produced is released in
higher amounts the darker it is, while the amount lessens with more
light. Since tryptophan is the only amino acid that can convert to
serotonin, it is also the only one that can ultimately up your melatonin. Insomnia
-I know that when bedtime rolls
around, you just want something that
will knock you out. Resist turning to
medication, which will only draw out
the struggle. There really isn’t a short-
cut, sometimes you have to re-learn
how to fall asleep. If you experience
insomnia due to something such as
a tragic loss, sleeping medications
have been shown to disrupt grieving. If your insomnia is chronic, your body
will become totally dependent on
the medicine. The extra effort turned
towards natural treatments is well
worth it in the end. -Set a bedtime for yourself. Having
a set schedule will help set your
body’s clock so that, eventually, you
consistently become ready for sleep
around the same time each night. -Exercise! It’s an incredible tool to
help with sleeplessness, especially
if you are experiencing short-term
insomnia due to stress or another
disruptive life event. Its benefits are
two-fold; it both boosts your energy,
and helps you sleep at night. To get
the best of both worlds exercise, at
the latest, 4 hours before bedtime. Any earlier and it might be harder to
get to sleep from the initial energy
you gain. -I know nobody likes to hear it, but
diet is vital. If you don’t consume
foods with enough tryptophan, you
pretty much stump yourself when it
comes time to fall asleep. -Meditate. Especially if you are kept
awake because of anxiety, stress, or
an over-active mind. -Y our room is for sleeping. It is your
sanctuary. Leave work, T.V.’s, phones-
actually any screen-out of it. Just
nix them. Kick the habit of watching
your favorite show before bed, and
don’t even think about peeking at
your computer-Facebook already
has enough people posting about
how they can’t sleep. If you don’t
trust the studies that have thoroughly
documented time and again that
bright screens and electronics disturb
your sleep, trust someone who has
struggled with the same problem
(me!) Be brave and unplug yourself. 103Copyright 2014 everydayroots.comTips & TroubleshootingTart cherries are naturally rich with L-tryptophan, that oh so essential amino acid that we need to fall into

work by increasing the amount of GABA (gamma aminobutryic acid) which helps regulate the action of nerve
cells and has a calming effect. Because of its calming effect, it is also extremely popular as a natural anxiety
remedy. Prescription anxiety medications also increase GABA, but those are better off avoided, if possible. The
gentle relaxation brought on by valerian makes it easier to drift off, especially if you have racing thoughts before
bed. It’s easy to brew up a cup of tea, but if you find the odor too strong, it is also available in capsule form.Valerian Tea
-1 tsp of dried valerian root
-8 oz. freshly boiled water1. Put your valerian root in a mug. 2. Boil water in your kettle, and pour over the root. Steep, covered, for
10- 15 minutes. 3. Strain, and get ready to enjoy a peaceful night. Add milk or honey to
taste. 105Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com InsomniaY ou will need… DirectionsThere’s nothing quite as delightful as a cup of freshly brewed chamomile on a chilly night as you settle in for
bed. This sweet flower has long been a reliable remedy for helping people doze off. It relaxes your muscles, and
is thought that, potentially, a substance called apigenin can bind to GABA receptors which affects the central
nervous system and sleepiness (similar to valerian.) Other studies have disagreed with apigenin theory, and
think other constituents in the chamomile are what act as a sedative. Either way, it’s tasty and it makes you tired. Y ou can, of course, buy chamomile tea from the store, but I personally love it fresh. Adding a pinch of dried
lavender can also help induce sleep thanks to its calming aroma.Chamomile Tea

 transports of dielectric material should in princi
ple be sintilar to the prerequisites for electrogenic
transport of water (see Chapter IX). It should be
evident that this model of vesicular transport also
includes the mechanism represented by Type III elec
troosmosis. Any cationic compound can be hydrated
and transported in clusters as electropositive ergionars
(see Chapter XIII). 146 Biologically closed electric circuits 8. Long and short distance selective transports in
tissue over VICC systems
To conclude this presentation, a survey of integrated
events is presented in Fig. XII: 32. Metabolic processes or a local injury UJ a tissue will
result in an electric (physicochentical ) potential differ
ence in relation to the blood in surrounding vessels
(Fig. XII: 32 a). The tissues then present their "de
mand potential" for compensation of their internal
metabolic imbalance. The electric potential difference
delivers the driving electromotive force for closed cir
cuit transports. This electromotive force consists of
metabolic diffusion potentials (or diffusion potentials
of catabolic reaction products from injured tissue) and
redox potentials between blood and, e.g., hypoxic tis
sue. Under the influence of the electric field, arterioles
and arterial capillaries will contract in certain regions
and possibly by means of the pericytes. Contraction of
arterial capillaries may then lead to regional closure of
leaking arterial stomata at the same time as corre
sponding vdns are wide and continue to keep thdr
stomata open. In Fig. XII: 32 b such selective arterio
lar and arterio-capillary contractions are :seen in dog
mesentery while venules and venous capillaries are
wide and contain many leukocyte.s (Fig. XII: 32 c,
mesentery electropositive, aorta electronegative, 0.1
volt potential difference, 0.03 coulomb, haematoxylin
eosin stain). A steep transcapillary gradient of an endogenous
demand potential of a tissue in relation to blood should
develop when the front of diffusion app:roachc:s the
exterior of the capillary wall. Such a gradient is already
present between the thrombus and blood (Fig. XII: 32 a). When the ntinimum potential difference
across the capillary wall for the start of redox reactions
is exceeded, electrode reactions will take place at the
"electrodes" of the capillary walls. Each side of the
endothelial membranes should have one anodic and
one cathodic surface. Ion exchange will then start
through the endothelial cell and over tlhe vascular
interstitial channels of the VICC via leaking venules
and venous capillaries. Packages (vesicles) of nonionic
products (ergonars) from the endothelial electrode sur
faces should be transported through the cyloplasm like
water in electroosmosis (compare also pinocytosis ) and
eventually become ionized ( = activated ) a.t the oppo
site electrode. This prelintinary theory for long distance closed cir
cuit transport between blood and tissue rep.resents only
one of several possibilities. Evidently selective contrac
tion of venules can take place also, although contrac
tions in venules have been observed on[y rarely in
these experiments. Selective closure of "enules and
venous capillaries would probably also create rather
extraordinary conditions, e.g., increase in capillary m-0

Fig. X/1:32. (a) Sch.ematic illustration ofVJCC in "micro
injury" of tissue. Degrading products of an injured tissue
produce diffusion potentials. The electric redox potential
difference in relation to blood adds to the development of a
field-induced regional contraction of adjacent arterial capil·
!aries. The pores of arterial capillaries are then anticipated to
close. Redox reactions will start at the outer and inner dec·
ttode-equivalent surfaces of the endothelial cell membranes. Two layers of revers.ible redox sites are necessary at each cell
membrane. Transpon of ions will start as long-distance
transports over blood plastru~through open venous capillary

tery of a dog and the other placed in a catheter in the aorta. 0.03 coulomb at 100 mV were passed between mesentery ( +)
and aorta (-). Field-induced contraction of ar1erial capillar
ies makes corresponding venules and venous capillaries fill
by collaleral circulation of blood. The granulocytes (<, dark
material in the wide venous branches) arc clectronegatively
charged. They are attracted electrophoreti cally in the VJCC
to the anode. Haematoxylin ·eosin. tration pressure and perhaps extensive diapedetic
bleedings. The earlier suggestion that leaking, noncontracted
capillaries should only allow minute closed circuits
adjacent to the capillary membranes now can be recon·
sidered and described as a mechanism for short-distan ce
closed circuit transport across the capillary walls. These two systems of electrogenic transports appear
to differ in principle by the mechanism of field·
induced arteriolar and arterial-capillary contractions. Should this function be found in the future to be
related to the presence of pericytes, the short-distance
closed circuit transports should logically be localized
preferably in regions where capillaries appear with
only sparse numbers of pericytes (e.g., in the lungs). The present experiment s have also revealed a discre·
pancy between morphologic descriptions and function
of capillaries. Traditionally we distinguish anatomical·
ly between arterioles, capillaries and venules. From
the functional point of view it seems more logical to
speak about leaking or contracting arterioles and arte·
rial capillaries ("arteriocapillaries "). These capillaries
are accompanied by predominantly leaking venous ca
pillaires ("venocapillaries" ) and venules. Is there any further direct or indirect evidence that
these anticipated functions of the capillaries exist? One
argument might be that the clinical, radiologic and
experimental observations reported in this book point
to the existence of a VICC system. It seems difficult to
find an alternative mechanism capable of explaining
the multiplicity of biological events which can be ex·
plaincd by the VICC system. Moreover, one may quts·
rion if rissue function can "afford" nor 10 take advamage
of rhe exceedingly efficient system for sekcrive transports
which closed electric circuits offer. We will therefore
continue in Chapter XIII with a presentation of how
such circuits may be activated, which is closely related
to the problem of transfer of energy. F. Conclusions
Evidence bas been presented that biologically closed
electric circuits (BCEC) ex.ist. These circuits appear to
represent an additional, previously overlooked, circu
latory system. One important specific circuit is called
the VICC (vascular-interstitial closed circuit), which is
parti~ularly considered in this study. This circuit is
coupled to the mechanisms of bulk transport (diffu·
sion and mechanical circulation ) as a system of selec
tive transport. Beyond this capacity for selective trans
port, BCEC systems are evidently able to influence
"local" chemical processes in the circuits, taking place
148 Biologically closed electric circuits also at "long" distances from the sources of the main
driving forces. Thereby BCEC systems can be recog·
nized to contribute to homeostasis. In later chapters
other important functions of the interacting transport
systems will be demonstrated, with particular empha·
sis on structural development of tissue and healing
processes. As an introduction to the description of the vascu·
tar-interstitial closed circuit (VICC), two mechanism s
have been distinguished for corrosion of metal im·
plants in bone. The most common and well known
mechanism of corrosion depends on locally different
anoetic and cathodic parts of the implant, causing what
is here called uncomplicated corrosion. The second
mechanism is called complicated corrosion, in which
relatively cathodic and anodic parts characterize tis·
sues of different local electrochemical potentials adja
cent to the metal. Levelling of these differences re·
quires a closed electric circuit, which the metal partly
creates. A closed circuit can, however, also be distin·
guished in tissue without the presence of metal. Thts leads us to the concept of

there  could  not  be a contradiction  in the Law  of Life! It
is the Individual's  lack  of Understanding,  which  some  peo-236 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
pie seize  upon  and  by which  they  try to find  discrepancies. This  Law  of Life  is Unerring! It makes  no mistakes! We
live in accord  with  It and  are  obeying  It! When  your
Higher  Mental  Body  calls  to Us, for the Assistance  which
must  be rendered,  not a thing  in all human  creation  could
prevent  It! Let us clear  this. You  might  say:  "Why  does  the Higher
Mental  Body,  whose  Focus  of Life  is All-wise  and  All-
powerful,  call on Us" ? The  Messengers  have  explained,  but
I want  you  to have  it definitely  clear  this  time! When  you
have  accumulated  about  you,  all the discord  which  is your
creation  of the past;  you  do not always  obey  the Direction
from  your  Higher  Mental  Body. We,  as Ascended  Beings
having  gone  thru  all this  process;  having  attained  Our  As-
cension  thru  Self-Conscious  Effort,  thru  This  Identical  Ap-
plication—NOW  THE  CONSCIOUSNESS  WHICH
WE ARE,  KNOWS  EVERY  REQUIREMENT. You
will pardon  Me,  if I use this  expression—but  the stubborn
human  Being,  who  will  not  yield  and  respond  to the im-
pulse  from  its own  Higher  Mental  Body,  must  sometimes
be given  Assistance,  in order  to let that  Impulse  thru. When
We pour  Our  Light  Radiation,  which  is Our  Means  of
Assistance,  We  take  out  of the  Individual's  feeling,  the
stubborn  rebellion  or resistance,  so the Power  of Its Presence
can get thru  to render  the Service. Now  do you  understand  why  in this  Class,  you  feel  so
wonderful;  you  feel  so at Peace  and  Rest;  and  you  feel  as
though  you  could  accomplish  anything ? Because  the Still-DISCOURSE  XVIII  237
ing of your  human,  has made  it possible  for the Current  of
Energy  from  your  Presence,  to flow  forth  unqualified  by
anything,  but the Harmony  which  is within  your  feeling. When  Individuals  come  into  the room  to criticize  and
condemn,  they  are filled  with  turmoil  in their  feeling. They
could  not receive  anything,  if it were  to save  their  lives. It
would  be impossible! Therefore,  they  should  be Honorable
enough  to stay  away. This  is the Law  I am citing  to you—
the Law  of your  Life,  each  one's  Life. Therefore,  those  who
have  a desire  to revolve  discord;  find  discrepancies;  or
something  wrong,  will  find  it; because  the  wrong  is in
their  own  consciousness  and  feeling;  and  so far as they  are
able to see, they  see only  what  is within  their  own  feeling! Their  feeling  is their  desire  world;  and  they  only  desire
what  is within  their  own  feeling! That  is why  one  who  is
out of harmony,  coming  into  the room,  would  not receive
anything,  except  sometimes  to get so uncomfortable,  that
one would  go out. In the realization  of your  Privilege  today,  will  you  take  a
firm  command  on yourselves,  knowing  the  simple  Re-
quirements ? It is not much  to do really,  when  it enables
you to have  such  a Release,  that  you  will  never  again  know
what  it is, to meet  the problems  of the outer  world  with
fear and  trembling. Oh, think  of it, Beloved  Children  of Earth,  here  is This
Great  Presence  of all Life,  which  is giving  you  Life  and
Intelligence  and  beating  your  Heart,  functioning  every  ac-
tivity  of your  body;  doing  all this  for you. Can't  you  give 238 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
just a little  obedience,  the little  which  is required,  to let
the Light  from  the  Presence,  flow  untouched  by human
qualification;  in order  to render  This  Service  and  release
the Happiness  and  Perfection  which  is just  waiting,  wait-
ing, waiting  to push  Itself  thru  today ? The Simplicity  of it is what  mankind  has  overlooked. Do you  see  why  the  Great  Wisdom  compelled  These
Books,  to come  forth  in simple  language  and  the Under-
standing  which  all might  grasp ? It is the Only  Way  man-
kind  can  get the Clearness,  the Perfect  Understanding  of
Life. All  said  in Those  Books,  every  Explanation,  is the
Law  of the Action  of your  Life! everyone's  Life! Our  Life! When  We  say to you,  Beloved  Ones,  We made  this  Identi-
cal Application,  We  mean  every  word  of It. There  is but
one Application  in the Universe  which  sets  mankind  Free. It is first,  the Understanding  that  you  have  an Individual-
ized God  Presence  above  you—the  distance  makes  no dif-
ference. From  your  "I AM  Presence,"  comes  the Stream  of
Life and  Energy  anchoring  into  your  own  Heart,  and  It
gives  you  Life,  Intelligence  and  Activity. IT IS THE
ONLY  THING  IN  THE  WORLD  WHICH  WILL
GIVE  MANKIND  FREEDOM. Then,  knowing  you  have  brought  yourselves  into  this
condition,  by the lack  of Understanding  and  the unwilling-
ness to do certain  things;  or by not knowing  you  should  do
certain  things;  it has  allowed  discord  to accumulate  for

 of the pressure of CO2 in the blood. Bartley’ s finding  means that as levels of CO2 reduce in the lungs and blood,
the nose become s more congested. Studies have shown that a reduction of
CO2 in the lungs (from normal pressure of 40 mmHg to 35 mmHg)
corresponds with a 10% increase in nasal congestion. 52 Anxiety also
typically corresponds with lower end-tidal CO 2 levels. 60This is also relevant in a complaint known as empty nose syndrome
(ENS)—where a patient with clear nasal airways experiences a variety of
symptoms, including sensations of nasal obstruction, dryness and crusting,
and feelings of breathlessness61 and drowning. ENS can result from major
or minor  surgical procedures including turbinate surgery, laser therapy, and
submucosal resection, even when sur gery and medical support is successful. At prese nt, its existence, diagnosis, and management are all controversial,
with discussion raging as to whether neurological or psychosomatic factors
may contribute. 61
ENS can be caused by the removal of the turbinates. The turbinates are
small structures inside the nose that filter and humidify the air as it passes
through the nostrils into the airways and lungs. They are made up of a bony
structure surrounded by vascular tissue and a mucus membrane. They can
become inflamed and swollen when allergy, infection, or irritation is
present, produci ng an excessive amount of mucus, which causes  the nose to
block. ENT Jim Bartley also explored the feeling of nasal stuffiness in
hyperventilation. 62 In 2005, Bartley examined 14 patients who complained
of nasal congestion after surgery and of feeling unable to breathe nasally,
despite having an apparently adequate nasal airway with no collapsed tissue
inside the nose,  and a surgical success rate between 63% and 85%. Some
had tried nasal steroids and oral antihistamines without relief. Bartley noted
that some were breathing rapidl y, predominantly into their upper chest. He
assessed each for hyperventilation syndrome and discovered that all
displayed a heightened respirat ory rate of around 18 breaths per minute
with an upper chest breathing pattern. On a subjective breathing
questionnaire, 12 of the 14 participants had scores indicative of
hyperventilation. Three patients had an end-tidal CO2 reading of 35 mmHg,
which indicates low blood CO 2. Five had breath retraining; this successfully
relieved nasal congestion for two of them. 62
Bartley concluded that patients who suffer from constant feelings of
nasal congestion, particularly after failed nasal surgery, should be assessed
for hyperventila tion syndrome. The primary issue in those patients may
actually be poor breathing patterns. Even slightly fast and/or hard breathing
causes a feeling of air hunger that patients often interpret as nasal stuf finess. While the functi oning of the physical airway is a relevant conce rn, air flow
must also be considered. If someone with chronic hyperventilation complains of nasal
obstruction, with no identifiable anatomical reason, surgery may not be the
answer. 62 Breath ing reeducation may be. If you have under gone nasal
surgery and still feel as if your nose is constantly blocked, your breathing
pattern is likely to be at the root of the problem. If you do have nasal
congestion, rhinitis or asthma, try the exercises in this book first. Decongest
your nose using the following breath-holding exercise, switch to nasal
breathing, and improve your BOLT score. I have used these techniques with
thousands of people who have attended my workshops over the years and
found that many destined for nasal sur gery did not require it. Because the nose is designed to regulate air intake,63 switching to nasal
breathing signifi cantly improves  the symptoms of nasal stuffiness and will
dramatically reduce your symptoms in the long term. EXERCISE T O UNBLOCK THE NOSE
Before you read any further, try this exercise to see just how effective it is
for clear ing your nose. The exercise is the same for adults and children. This exer cise is not suitable for women who ar e pregnant. • Sit upright on a straight-backed chair. • Normalize your breathing and breathe calmly. Take a small, light breath in through
your nose if you can and a small breath out through your nose. If you are unable to
inhale through your nose, take a tiny breath in through the corner of your mouth. • After exhaling, pinch your nose and hold your breath. Keep your lips sealed. • Gently nod your head or rock your body until you feel that you cannot hold your
breath any longer. You should feel a relatively strong need for air. • At this point, let go of your nose, and breathe in gently through the nose. Breathe
gently in and out with your mouth closed. When you first breathe in, avoid taking a
deep breath. Instead, keep your breathing calm and focus on relaxation. Use the
mantra “relax and breathe less” if it helps. • Repeat the exercise until you can breathe easily through your nose. If your nose
does not become fully unblocked, wait around one minute, and practice the same
steps again. Y ou may need to do the exercise several times. After you have completed the exercise, your nose will be unblocked. However, until you have improved your BOL T score to over 25 seconds,the exercise will decongest your nose onlny temporarily. Once your BOL T
score is 25 or more, your nose will stay unblocked for much longer periods. I always explain to my students, especially the teenagers, that you have two
options. You can improve your BOL T score to 25 seconds, or you can
experience nasal congestion for the rest of your life. When you consider all
of the negative consequences of mouth breathing for sleep, stress, and other
health concerns, the choice is obvious. Remember, until you have changed the underlying breathing patterns
that contribute to nasal stuffiness, it is quite normal for the nose to block
again. With regular practice of the exercises in this book, your body will
adapt, and your nose will start to remain clear. Practice this exercise
whenever your nose feels congested. Even if you have a heavy cold, this
exercise can help you maintain nasal breathing. MAKING THE SWITCH
The first step in addressing poor breathing patterns and increasing your
BOL T score is to switch from mouth to nose breathing. Even though its
primary function  is respiratory, the nose is often underused for the essential
task of breathing. While total mouth breathing is rare, as most people tend
to switch from mouth to nose breathing and vice versa, it is incredibly
common for children and adults  to mouth breathe some of the time, either
out of habit or due to nasal obstruction. When you first switch from mouth to nasal breathing, the volume of air
you inhale with each breath may immediately reduce. This is likely to feel a
little strange to begin with. You will probably experience a slight air
shortage since the volume of air inhaled through the nose is less than you
are used to inhaling through the mouth. Don’ t worry. Air hunger is a good
sign of progress. Any discomfort will diminish in a few days. Your body
may try to trick you into breathing more by yawning, sighing, or sneaking
in the odd mouth breath. Try not to increase your breathing in those ways. When you feel the need to breat he big—for example, if you experience the
impulse to sigh—hold your breath for 5 to 10 seconds following the sigh. One thing to be aware of that may seem odd, even unfair, as you make
the switch from mouth to nasal breathing, is that the size of the nose isactually an important factor in breathing habits. People with a small nasal
airway are much more likely to breathe through an open mouth than those
with an adequat e nasal size. Mouth breathing is a very normal reaction to a
small nasal airway. The smaller the nose, the greater the resistance to
breathing, and the more air hunger is experienced in breathing through the
nose. HOW T O BREA THE DURING EXERCISE
A spacious nasal cavity and large nostrils are definitely useful for breathing
through the nose during physical exercise. If your nasal airway is small, the
resistance to breathing and the resulting air hunger may be too much during
exercise. To help open the nasal passages, you can use the exercise-specific
NasalDilator, which I have designed specifically for this purpose. Earlier, we talked about how CO2 creates the primary stimulus to
breathe and is instrumental in oxygenation. Nose breathing during physical
exercise slows the breath and reduces breathing volume, which influences
the levels of CO2 in the blood. However, most of us will not spontaneously
choose to breathe through the nose during heavy exercise. 64 Without proper
training for at least six to eight weeks, the air hunger caused by nose
breathing can become quite pronounced as exercise intensifies. Breathing throu gh the nose is usually only comfortable during gentle
exercise, when the total volume of air entering the lungs every minute
(called minute ventilation ) is less than 35 liters. Once minute ventilation has
increased to between 35 and 41 liters,65 the tendency is to start mouth
breathing. The exact switching point from nose to mouth breathing is highly
personal, influen c


% 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


before, had just given me the key to open the door I had locked against
others. In seeking to defend myself, I had denied myself love. It didn’ t
matter what the reason was for my disengagement—that I had begun to feel
overwhelmed by the needs of others, or be hurt by their behavior, or had a
need to retreat into a space of my own. What mattered is the personality
characteristic I had developed as a defense against being hurt. And what you defend against, you create. By trying to defend against
being hurt by others, I was guaranteeing that I would  be, for my rigid and
distant behavior aroused criticism that hurt. Simply seeing this freed me to
change. The second example of something that melted a wall existing between
myself and others was a comment once made by my daughter. She said
something about how I acted a little coolly when people came up to have
their books signed after my lectures. Nervously, I said to her, “Oh my God. I’m not polite. Am I not polite. ” She responded, “No, Mommy, you’re
polite. But you’re always the same. Y ou’re gracious, but you’re not really
that personal. Y ou’re nice to people, but you don’ t let anybody in. ”
I thought deeply about what my daughter had said. I realized how much
love I kept out of my life by keeping a certain professional wall up. That
didn’ t mean I should refrain from having healthy boundaries, but it did
mean that there was more love available to me than I was allowing myself
to experience. And in any moment when we deny love, we trigger the
original trauma that led us to isolate to begin with. Developing a deeper connection to others is not something you can just
check of f your to-do list. Y ou can’ t just get it over with. It is not a medicine
you take and then just put back into the drawer once the sickness has
passed. This issue—like everything about this course—involves a lifelong
journey that once begun, never ends. It is a journey not simply into food
recovery, but into a more light-filled life. It is a journey into the heart of
love, toward others and toward yourself. Any day devoted to love is a day when your craziness can’ t enter. It can
knock at the door, but it can’ t come in. When you connect authentically
with another person, the spell of your compulsion is broken. Just as a
person in subzero temperatures knows better than to fall asleep, so it is
incumbent upon you to be always on guard against the dangers of the Big
Alone. Daily, in your journal pages, note where you let others in that day and
where you kept them out. Explore the places in your personality and in your
lifestyle where you keep more space between yourself and others than you
need to, where distance is not so much a healthy distance as an unhealthy
one. Increased distance from others will lead to increased connection to
food, as you run to the relationship that in a stressful moment feels like the
one you can always count on. In truth, you are in spiritual connection with people whether you turn
away from them or not, because relationships occur on the level of the
mind. Mystically, you are one with all living things. Y ou cannot for get
others and still remember who you are. The simple act of connecting with other people will begin to break the
chain that binds you. In any moment when you feel the void approaching,when you find yourself wanting to be alone so you can digest your poison
—make a call, turn your car around, send an e-mail, make a move. When you are grasping for starchy food like it is crack cocaine, do
anything—the slightest thing—to connect with another person in a loving
way. For in every righteous move you make toward others, you are making
a move toward the experience of your own true self. One instant at a time, one new response pattern at a time, one righteous
human interaction at a time, you will lock the door of the ugly castle behind
you, never to enter there again. And from the vantage point of where you go
next—the clear outdoors where no obsessions rankle you—you will
remember your hell with such gratitude for having been delivered from it. And you will have a deep-seated desire to spend the rest of your life,
whenever called, to help others make the same escape you did. In time, the
psychic castle that housed your hell will be demolished and never house
anyone again. A recovering suf ferer can recognize a suf ferer, and a recovering suf ferer
intent on healing makes sure no suf ferer in his or her path remains unloved. It’s often just a knowing smile, a simple silent blessing, but it is a love that
is sent from heaven to heal you both. Reflection and Prayer
Close your eyes and relax into a holy space. Ask Divine Mind to reveal the issues in your relationship that you need
to address. Images will appear to you … relationship patterns where you
could be more vulnerable or more helpful … places in your personality
where you keep others at bay. Ask to be shown how you appear to others, and how you can more fully
express who you truly are. In this sacred space within your mind, you will
be transformed from someone who avoids love to someone who embraces it
… receives it … and is so filled up by it that nothing else is needed to make
you feel full. Dear God,
Please melt the walls
that separate me fr om others,imprisoning me within myself. Please heal my wounded places
and fr ee my heart to love. Help me connect to others
that I might isolate no mor e. I know, dear God,
that when I am alone, I fear;
and when I fear, I self-destruct. What I suffer now
and have suffer ed befor e,
dear God,
may I suffer no mor e.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

holistically  you lose weight; you want your mind, your emotions, and your
body to all lose weight. W eight that disappears from your body but not from
your soul is simply recycling outward for a while, but is almost certain to
return. It’ s self-defeating, therefore, to struggle to drop excess weight unless
you are also willing to drop the thought-forms that initially produced it and
now hold it in place. Judgment and blame are the weightiest thoughts of all, as they lack love. They are products of the fear -mind, representing the densest ener gy in the
universe—the perception of someone’ s guilt. Learning to for give both
yourself and others is the greatest gift you can give yourself on your path to
conscious weight loss. Compulsive eating separates you from others, and for giveness heals the
separation. Once again, you might have wonderful connections with people,
but any breakage at all is a place where the devil can get in. Unless you
address your relationship issues themselves, then they will always lurk in
the back of your mind, able to trip the addictive switch back to ON at any
time. In order to deal with your weight loss from a holistic perspective, you
must address your issues with relationships as seriously as you address your
issues with food. Losing weight will not of itself heal your relationships,
but healing your relationships will help you lose weight. Forgiveness is critical, as we all make little as well as big mistakes, and
little as well as big judgments. Cultivating a for giving attitude softens theedges of human contact. It’ s an aspect of what is called the Atonement, or
the correction of our perceptions from fear back to love. The purpose of this
lesson is to atone for any lack of for giveness on your part, releasing excess
weight that lies heavy on your heart. There are two basic filters through which to view all things: the filter of
the body, and the filter of the spirit. T o the extent that you view your life
only through the body’ s filter, you are bound to the body in a way that does
not serve you. Being bound to the body, you are at the ef fect of the body’ s
appetites. But when your eyes are lifted, giving you the capacity to see
beyond the body to the realm of your spirit, you’re given power over your
body that otherwise you do not have. Dwelling lightly within your body,
your body becomes light. And how do you do that? How do you see beyond  the body? Y ou do it by
being willing to extend your focus beyond the dramas of the material plane,
remembering


tain. The important things are a clear conception and a willingness to make all
necessary sacrifices to ef fect it. The picture we form in our minds should be
so clear we can almost touch it, and it should be projected with feeling. Affirm this image verbally. Write out a short and clear af firmation and be
able to repeat it to yourself as you visualize your objective. Consciously
relax your mind and body when you go through this af firmation period. Get
the feeling that you are not making something happen, only accepting it. Feel that this thing is real in your mind, where all true cause exists. Finish
your af firmation with a feeling of faith and expectancy and serenity. Know
that your image will manifest in the world just as surely as you keep it sharp
and clear in your mind. During the day, think and feel and act as if your
desire were already manifested. Y ou will then behave as if you have it, and
this complete change in your psychic position will attract the situation to
you. It is a wonderful thing to experience the power of mind over matter. Once
you have been able to bring some desired circumstance into your life by anact of faith and visualization, you will never again feel alone and friendless
and helpless. Y ou will know that you have within yourself the key to all
creation. Abundance and happiness and success and achievement are
unlimited. The power to provide all exists in your mind and your
imagination. OceanofPDF. com

The Power of Choice

Ask a hundr ed people if their lives had turned out to be what they
wanted them to be, and pr obably not one in the hundr ed would answer
affirmatively. Most people live dissatisfied lives, unfulfilled in most
aspects of their natur es but unable to decide what these aspects ar e or
how to go about fulfilling them. They have turned out to be what they
are because they have not chosen for themselves but have allowed
events and cir cumstances to decide for them. They have been molded
by a million differ ent sensual stimuli, and they will continue to be so
molded as long as they fail to exer cise their power of decision. The Only T rue Action

Our only true action is our exercise of choice. How we grow and mature
and the kind of person we become reside in the countless decisions we
make as we journey through the years. The power of our choice is that it
makes us what we become. It is the hub of a wheel of countless spokes,
each spoke representing a way to be taken, and each of us stands always in
the center of an infinite number of possibilities. If our choice is made freely
and consciously, then we are enlightened and are consciously molding our
own life. If our choice is made as a result of emotional response to the
circumstances in which we finds ourselves, then we are automatons and life
is molding us. T o become free of reaction and to initiate thought fromwithin is the evolutionary goal of humankind. Once a person takes a step in
this direction, no matter how small or tentative, they are forever unchained. They have broken out of the reactionary prison of sensual response and
have discovered the completely transforming fact that there resides within
them a power to grow in any direction they choose. We can choose what we will think regardless of the circumstances around
us. W e can choose whatever our consciousness will be focused upon, and
thereby we can determine the direction in which we will grow. Whatever
we think about we become in the end, and it is this astounding law that
enables individuals to rise above their environments. A saint may emer ge
from the slums, a rich person from poverty, an enlightened mind out of
ignorance, the leader of a nation out of an obscure log cabin. The history of
humankind is a record of the overcoming of obstacles. The person who
refuses to accede to the limitations of their environment is led into such
aspiration by the images that form in their mind. They want something;
wanting, they visualize; visualizing, they are led into the action that will
lead to materialization of their desire. Linear Thinking

For the most part people are unaware of the fact that their lives are decided
by the thoughts they think. They are inclined to feel that circumstances are
either beyond their control or that power over them is gained only by an
intrinsic knowledge of their physical workings. A person’ s ability to af fect
their environment by the way that they feel has lar gely been lost sight of in
the W estern world. W estern education teaches us to be linear thinkers. W e
gain the overall idea of a thing by examining it piece by piece. Feeling or
intuition is lar gely ignored. Education in the older societies of the East
aimed at grasping an intuitional sense of the basic idea of a thing. The
Eastern athlete works at his event by feel, trying to grasp a sense of the
entire motion. The W estern athlete is more likely to break down the event
into a number of correlated small actions, a leg bent here, an arm crookedthere, a hip turned here, a shoulder turned there. As a result, they tend to
lose feel, and only constant repetition and practice allow proper action to
seep into their subconscious so that eventually they can perform
unthinkingly. It is very dif ficult to teach someone to dance by drawing diagrams of the
proper steps upon the floor, but a person who instinctively moves in rhythm
to music hardly needs to be taught at all, so apt a pupil are they. Eastern
musicians use only rough notations on their sheets of music to remind them
of the melody, preferring to play by feel. The more complicated method of
Western musicians is represented by a double scale of notes and half notes,
delineating completely both melody and harmony. This is not an apology
for W estern methods of education, for the W est produces its share of
inspirational thinkers and instinctive athletes. This is only to say that the
linear method of thinking, while proven ef fective in scientific investigation,
is certainly not the only or even the best approach to use in dealing with our
surroundings. Our contacts in our daily lives are so profuse that we never
can hope to understand them by trying to understand their parts. W e must
rely for our perceptions on an awareness of each thing achieved by an
intuitional understanding of it. Intuitive Thinking

It is often said that banking is a cold-blooded, logical business, based
entirely upon reason, but one of the leading bankers in the Southwest once
electrified his audience when he told how his bank processed loan
applications. Oh, the paperwork was done, all right, a financial statement
substantiated, receipts and expenditures examined, accounts receivable
assessed, and a record made of the applicant’ s background and capability in
his business. But when all these factors had been considered, the question
that the president always asked the examining of ficer was this: “What kind
of feeling do you get. ” If the examining of ficer reported a favorable
feeling, the loan was made; if they stated they had mixed feelings, the loanwas tabled to be reconsidered later; if they said they had negative feelings,
the loan was denied. So in one of our leading financial institutions ultimate
decisions were being reached on the basis of intuition rather than the
reasoning power of the mind. It is interesting to note that the loss ratio of
this particular bank was the lowest in the Southwest. In our society in the past, intuition simply has not been considered
academically and philosophically respectable. Thus we have hardly begun
to realize its possibilities. No doubt within its scope is the potential
synthesis of all our more cumbersome calculations like mathematics,
theology, metaphysics, logic. When we have learned to exercise our power
of choice and to leave the working out of details to a greater intelligence
than is embodied in our conscious minds, we will have arrived at a position
of complete psychic ef fectiveness. The power of choice is inseparably allied with the power to perceive. Things influence us according to the possibilities that we see in them, and
we obviously cannot make a choice concerning that which we do not see. All possibilities are inherent in every situation, but we see only those which
our limited consciousness is able to perceive. The wider that consciousness,
the more possibilities are apparent, and the more significant become the
choices open to us. T o the Supreme all possibilities are actualities. The
Secret Self is engaged in creating infinite multiplicity out of its own
essential oneness, and this is its delight, its inscrutable play. To the human
being laid down amidst this incessant change, it is of paramount importance
not to become static and to seek constant growth, so that the field of choice
widens through the lifetime. The Exer cise of Divinity

Those who know only one thing exercise no choice. They proceed along a
single path because they see no other. All around them is an unknown
forest, and to their limited vision it would be unthinkable for them to veeroff the pathway before them. Knowledge illuminates. The more we
understand about our environment, the less strange that environment
appears. The more our consciousness expands, the more likely we are to
perceive the myriad pathways that lead of f the road we currently are
following. There are as many ways to arrive at salvation and ef fectiveness
as there are dif ferent people.

	WHICH	HIS	FAMILY	HAPPENED	TO	LIVE	DID	NOT

PARTICIPATE	IN	THE	SALK	VACCINE	TEST." Certainly	a	glorious	record	to	be	handed	down	to	medical	posterity! Laymen

everywhere	should	be	proud	to	honor	such	an	upstanding	doctor. This	good

follower	of	Hippocrates	was	entirely	willing—with	an	unproven	vaccine—to

sacrifice	YOUR	CHILDREN	on	the	altar	of	medicine’s	mad	Salk

experimentations	but	HIS	OWN	CHILDREN—ah,	they	were	far,	far	too

precious	to	be	"thrown’	to	the	tender	devices	of	these	wild	March	Hares. As	I	said	in	the	beginning—a	great	deal	has	been	written	about	polio	but	the	real

searing	stories	of	what	actually	happened	"behind	the	scenes"	during	the	15	year

unfoldment	of	this	flamboyant	farce	of	the	March	of	Dimes	is	probably	known

only	to	the	Man	Upstairs	Who	will	have	much	to	say	on	the	subject	whet	these

same	March	of	Dimes	practitioners	try	to	storm	the	Pearly	Gates. "LET	US	FACE	THE	FACTS"

By	T.	M.	Schippell,	N.	D.

HERALD	OF	HEALTH	,	AUGUST	1955

In	my	last	article,	I	made	the	flat	statement	that,	it	was	my	opinion,	this	country

had	gone	"vaccine	crazy". And	nationwide	developments,	since	that	was	written,

only	verifies	my	month	old	sordid	conclusion. The	sound	common	sense	which

has	characterized	American	thought	for	centuries,	seems	to	have	utterly

evaporated	as	the	entire	population	struggled	to	fling	its	children	upon	the	altar

of	bungling	medical	experimentation. And	we,	in	the	natural	healing	field,

realise	that	coming	disasters	have,	as	usual,	cast	their	long	sinister	shadows

before. NO	VACCINE	WAS	EVER	A	SUCCESS. First,	because	vaccines	are	the

product	C	abject	animal	misery—brought	into	being	through	tortures	of	dumb

animals	in	the	stately	laboratories	of	drug	kingdom. Tens	of	thousands	of

helpless	creatures	must	each	die	a	thousand	horrible	deaths	before	a	single

vaccine	emerges	to	poison	the	bloodstream	of	human	beings. You	can	paste	this

statement	in	your	hat	as	absolute:	As	long	as	the	holy	Bible	states	"as	ye	do	unto

the	least	of	them,	ye	do	unto	me",	the	Almighty	will	not	crown	with	success	this

crucifying	diabolicalness	of	moronic	investigators. Second,	our	Creator,	when	He	fashioned	the	human	body,	closed	the

bloodstream	from	outside	contamination. All	objects	entering	the	circulation

must	pass	through	intricate,	but	efficient,	natural	filters	which	bar	out	impurities. Yet	man,	with	his	hypodermic	gadget,	circumvents	these	filters,	regardless	of	the

Almighty’s	forethought. If	the	Creator	had	believed	that	those	filters	were	not

important,	a	valve	leading	into	the	blood	circulation	would	have	been	provided

with	the	same	ease	with	which	He	has	fashioned	a	human	pump	for	the	blood

that	will	outwear,	out	beat	and	outlast	anything	that	man	ever	has,	or	ever	will,

conceive. Third,	a	nutritional	unbalance	cannot	be	corrected	by	cow	pus	or	monkey-juice. All	ailments	result	from	such	unbalance. No	vaccine	can	supply	what	is	missing

or	absorb	poisons	that	cause	the	damage. That	is	why	the	Salk	vaccine	will	fail
—and	fail	utterly	as	every	other	vaccine	has	failed. Let	us	look	at	the	Salk	concoction,	which	admittedly	is	made	from	the	diseased

dead	entrails	of	paralyzed	monkeys. Last	Summer,	some	440,000	children	of	a

group	of	1,500,000	had	their	clean	bloodstreams	contaminated	by	this	monkey-
juice	which	had	not	even	been	laboratory	tested—let	alone	clinically	tried	out. Frankly,	those	vaccinations	of	last	Summer	did	not	constitute	a	real	test. It	was	a

complete	hoax. One	child	in	four	received	the	Salk	concoction—the	others,

colored	water. The	names	of	all	youngsters-those	poisoned	and	those	who	got

only	water—were	kept	secret	from	everybody	by	a	select	group	of	hirelings

inside	the	March	of	Dimes. So	it	was	easy	to	"shuffle	the	cards"	anytime	during

the	so-called	"six	months	trial	period"	when	scientists	supposedly	were	checking

the	test	tubes. If	any	child—who	had	received	the	Salk	monkey-juice—died,	it

was	easy	to	slip	that	child’s	card	into	the	cards	of	those	youngsters	who	had

received	"only	colored	water"	and	to	claim	the	victim	was	a	"poor	unfortunate"

who	had	not	been	vaccinated	at	all! If	such	a	"set-up"	is	a	sample	of	American

medical	fair	play—it	is	time	the	laymen	made	some	changes	in	the	rules. This	year	the	Salk	vaccine	was	approved	with	all	the	Hollywood	"first	night"

trimmings. Special	platforms	were	erected	at	the	cooperating	university,	the	red

carpet	was	spread	for	two	hundred	selected	guests	and	then	the	dumb-founding

news	was	sent	out	over	loud	speakers	that	at	long	last,	after	careful	checking,	the

Salk	monkey-juice	was	finally	"approved". Yet	before	the	echoes	of	the	shouts

of	delight	from	those	200	assembled	guests	had	died	away,	the	great	laboratories

were	shipping	millions	of	"shots"	of	this	monkey-juice	which	had	been

manufactured	months	and	months	before. Just	how	gullible	does	Modern	Medicine	take	the	Americans	to	be? How	raw	a

deal	will	those	self-appointed	"Guardians	of	the	Public	Health"	spring	upon	their

unsuspecting	patients? This	time,	even	the	man	on	the	street	can	see	that	his

sainted	family	physician	has	taken	the	whole	blighted	country	for	a	buggy-ride. Yet	what	the	man	on	the	street	does	not	see	is	the	mark	this	vaccination	orgy	will

leave	on	generations	yet	unborn. Thousands	of	vaccines	have	been	brought	forward	and	not	one	of	them	ever

accomplished	what	was	hoped	for	it. No	need	to	go	into	the	whole	bevy	of	these

rotten,	disgusting,	filth	concoctions—let	us	briefly	inspect	the	authentic	history

of	the	most	common	of	all	vaccines—the	putrid	cow	pus	that	is	supposed	to

prevent	smallpox. Edward	Jenner,	who	died	in	1823,	invented	this	anti-smallpox	vaccine. But	up	to

the	time	of	his	death	he	was	not	certain	whether	the	pus	from	a	diseased	cow	or
	the	grease	from	the	hocks	of	a	diseased	horse	was	the	better	preventative	for

smallpox. He	admitted,	just	before	he	died,	that	his	vaccine	was	worthless. Rumor	has	it	that	the	vaccine,	which	is	today	mixed	with	the	human	blood,	is	the

offspring	of	the	original	sick	Jenner	cow. But	whether	it	is	or	not	is	immaterial. Let	us	see	what	a	frank,	honest	medical	man	learned	of	smallpox	vaccination. His	name	Charles	Creighton,	MA,	MD,	of	England. This	licensed	medical	man

was	instructed	by	the	Encyclopaedia	Britannica


 fat because it supplies only empty,
low-quality calories and excessive carbohydrates that are converted to fat. This causes you to overeat to obtain needed nutrients. When you eat
foods high in sugar, the body must have additional food to get the nu
trients it needs. This tends to add weight. The practice that will help
eliminate that craving for sweets more than anything else is the correct
consumption of fruit. The sugar in fruit is untampered with and supplies
the body with the nutrients it craves. Plus, because it supplies fiber and
bulk, it satisfies, whereas refined sugar is fiber-free, and even after eating
quite a bit of it you can still feel empty. Refined sugar eaten in any shape
or form—in food, in candy, or in liquids—ferments in the system, caus
ing the formation of acetic acid, carbonic acid, and alcohol. The process
of refining sugar causes the sugar's fermentation in the body. It's difficult to show how any one particular type of food adversely
affects an overall eating plan. Taken out of context, it tends to seem less
serious than it actually may be. But coupled with other negative influ
ences, it contributes to the eventual breakdown of the body. Picture a
large bay window. If you were to throw a small pebble at the window, it
would not break. But throw one hundred thousand small pebbles, and
2Canada Dry's salt-free seltzer water with lemon or lime is an excellent substitute. 98 • FIT FOR LIFE the window will shatter. Each negative influence on your body is like one
pebble, and all together those influences can and will break down your
body's health. The fewer pebbles you throw at the window, the less likely
the window is to break. The fewer negative influences the body has to
contend with, whether they are coffee, tea, soda, alcohol, or candy, the
less likely the body is to remain overweight. Even just cutting down is
beneficial; it's fewer pebbles. Q. I've heard that a little wine with a meal helps to digest the food. Is this
true? A. Whoever is responsible for that bit of tomfoolery surely sits on the
board of one of the major wineries. The body no more needs help to
digest food than it needs help to blink its eyes or to breathe. All are
autonomic responses. Digestion simply takes place when food is in the
stomach. If anything, wine retards the digestion of food. In the same way
your motor responses are slowed down when under the influence of alco
hol, digestion is also slowed down. Wine is fermented, which causes any food it comes into contact with
to spoil. All alcohol places a heavy burden on the kidneys and liver. If
you enjoy wine, try to drink it on an empty stomach. It will take less to
"loosen you up," and it won't spoil any food. Moderation is the key. Remember, the fewer pebbles against the window the better. Q. It seems that on this type of diet I wouldn't need to take any vitamin
and mineral supplements. Is that true? A. Absolutely! The controversy of whether or not supplements are neces
sary could fill a book of its own. How did we manage for centuries with
out them? The manufacture and sale of these supplements is one of the
ten largest businesses in the United States. Supplement sales now gener
ate two billion dollars a year! I wonder to what extent some of the claims
one hears are commercially motivated. In terms of your health there is a long list of experts in the field of
nutrition, both inside and outside the medical community, who are ex
pressing grave concerns over the health threat emerging from taking vi
tamin and mineral supplements. Dr. Myron Winick, the director of the
Institute of Human Nutrition at Columbia University, indicates that
some old standby vitamins long considered totally innocuous are produc
ing medical problems, including nerve damage, mild intestinal distress,

daily allowance), which is twice what our actual needs are. These state
ments may sound shocking, but they are the facts. Every vitamin and
mineral necessary for your body can be found in abundance in fruit and
vegetables. The body has such a small requirement for these elements
that even if you ate only a small amount of fresh fruits and vegetables,
you would be meeting your requirements. This program is designed to
incorporate into your diet more than ample amounts of what you need,
in their purest, most easily absorbable form. Nothing is of the quality that
is found in fruits and vegetables, notwithstanding some of the advertising
claims boasting that their product is 100 percent natural. Being 100 per
cent natural would mean as it was created by nature. I personally have
never seen a vitamin or mineral pill tree. Man-made supplements are simply not what was intended for the hu
man body. In the process of extracting and fractionating elements, they
are rendered worthless. Vitamin supplements become toxic in the body. *
The body can most efficiently use vitamins and minerals that are con
sumed along with all the other constituents of any given food. Once
removed and isolated, vitamins lose their value. And synthesized vi
tamins are virtually worthless. Right now technology exists that can create
a grain of wheat in the laboratory. Every chemical component can be
duplicated and made into a grain of wheat. But if it's put into the ground,
it won't grow. Yet grains of wheat taken from tombs that are four thou
sand years old will sprout if put into the ground! There is a very subtle
ingredient missing in the synthesized wheat: life force! This same ingre
dient is also missing in synthesized vitamins and minerals. Worse than
being worthless, these products are treated as toxic waste in the body. Our
goal is always to eliminate toxic waste, not produce more. The body also has what is called the law of minimum. In other words,
once the vitamin and mineral requirements are met, any more must be
eliminated as excess. If you had a small glass and a pitcher full of juice,
you could fill the glass only to the brim. If you continue to pour, you will
only waste the juice as it overflows the glass. That is precisely how it
works when there are more vitamins and minerals in the body than it has
a need for. Again the excess is treated as toxic waste and usurps your
precious energy as the body tries to rid itself of it. This places a heavy
burden on the liver and the kidneys in the process. When you take sup
plements, they will always be in excess unless you are on the most de
vitalized, processed, denatured diet imaginable. The eating life-style laid

Americans will consume five hundred million pounds of salt. That's a lot
of embalming. Salt is everywhere and in everything from pet food to baby
food. Salt is a major contributing factor to the increasing incidence of
hypertension, or high blood pressure, in this country. It is so caustic to
the sensitive inner tissues of the body that water is retained to neutralize
its acidic effect. This adds weight to the body. Overuse of salt can con
tribute to a severe affliction of the kidneys called nephritis. When you consider that many people consume coffee, tea, soda pop,
alcohol, supplements, and salt every day, all of which must be excreted
by the kidneys, it is no small wonder why so many people die annually
from kidney failure. Whatever we can do to save our poor overworked
kidneys should be done. Salt should be used sparingly, if at all. For those
who wish to continue using salt, Dr. N. W. Walker recommends coarse
ground sea salt, which is less processed than regular salt. Coarse ground
sea salt can be used in a salt grinder. There are also many seasoned salts
and salt-free seasonings (see the Shopping List, page 122) that can help
cut down on salt intake. Q. Why does it seem as if so many people today either have hypoglyce
mia or think they do? And doesn't eating fruit aggravate a hypoglycemic
condition? A. The reason that so many people have hypoglycemia and that so many
others think they do is twofold. First, the range of possible
