ib le that this lower state of
alertness is also inheritable by a child. It is possible that dehydration in a rapidly growing child might also indicate its
presence by the pain felt in the joints as well as it can be felt in heartburn. The mode of sig nal production that would
denote thirst might naturally be the sam e in the young, as wel l as in older people. It is therefore recommended that
juvenile arthritis should also be treated with an increase in daily water intake. As you  can see, Dr. Laurence Malone, whose letter is published below, is an experienced medical doctor and an
educator. His o bservations on the effect of water in rheumatoid joint pains in himself shows that our other
colleagues in the medical profession
should begin to notice the medicinal values of water in disease prevention. Postscript
The book is already in its printers' hands. A few re cently introduced commercial brands of water, with seemingly
scientific e xplanations about the specific way they are "manufactured," have prompted me to use the only available
space on this page to clarify the following points. The corrective physiologic effects o f ordinary "tap" water in some of the conditions explained in this book are being
attributed to specially prepared brands of "structured water" that are presented for sale. As I already explained,
water has many properties. It has special characteristics in the membranes and inside the cells of the body. However, if we simulate those characteristics outside the body, it does not mean that water will pass into the cells of
the body with the same characteristics. In fact, the cell membrane filters and separates water from its so lid content
and frees it from other dissolved materials to manufacture free and useful activator before its passage inside the
cell. It has developed the system that the water molecules have to be in "single file" before they can go through the
membrane. Water diffuses into the cell at the rate of 10 cen timeter per seco nd. The dissolved substances stay
behind, and their entrance into the cell is regulated by material-specific, sophisticated transport systems. This is how
the body survives. It creates its own "uniformity of presentation" with constantly changing environmental factors. Please do not be impressed by titles and jargons. Begin to think before you accept seemingly scientific sta tements
that are designed to sell you a productLOW BACK PAIN
It should be appreciated that the spinal joints—in tervertebral joints and their disc structures—a re dependent on
different hydraulic properties of water stored in the disc core, as wel l as in the end plate cartilage covering the flat
surfaces of the spinal vertebrae. In spinal vertebral joints, water is not only a lubricant for the contact surface s, it is
held in the disc core within the intervertebral space and supports the compression weight of the upper part of the
body. Fully 75 percent of the weight of the upper part of the body is supported by the water volume that is stored in
the disc core; 25 percent is su pported by the fibrous materials around the disc (see Figure 8). Th e principle in the
design of all joints is for  water to act as a lubricating agent, as well as bearing the force produced by weight, or
tension produced by m uscle action on the joint. It is the same type of force. In most of these joints, the establishment of an intermittent vacuum promotes a silent water circulation into the joint,
only to be squeezed out by the pressure borne as a result of joint activity. To prevent back pain, one needs to drink
sufficient water and do a series of special exercises to create an intermittent vacuum to draw water into the disc
space. These exercise s will also reduce the spasm in the back muscles that in a vast majority of people— 80
percent of all back pains—is the main cause of lower back pain. One also needs to adopt correct postures. The
subject of back pain and its relationship to water is so important to understand that I have dealt with it in a special
book, How to Deal With Back Pai n and Rheumatoi d Joint Pain,  and a complementary video, How To Deal With
Back Pain. If you get back pain and, in particular, sciatic pain, you will benefit by reading th e book and/or seeing the vi deo. In
majority of cases, sciatic pain can be totally relieved within half an hour, when the special movements that produce
an intermittent vacuum in the disc spaces—sho wn in the book and the video—are performed. Bad posture—keeping the head bent for long periods of time when writing, working at a low b ench, "freeze position"
working at the computer for many hours, bad pillow, or too many pillows—can  be contributory factors in the
production of neck pain or even the displacement of the intervertebral discs in the neck. Neck movement is
essential for the establishment of adequate fluid circulation within the disc spaces in the neck. The weight of the
head forces water out of the discs over a period of time. To bring back the same water, the force of vacuum has to
be created within the same disc space. This can only be done if the head and neck are moved adequately
backward. A simple process in  less severe case s of neck pain from disc displacement would be slowly and repeatedly bending
the head and neck backward, as much as they will bend. Keeping the neck extended for 30 seconds at a time. This
prolonged extension will enhance the force of vacuum and bring water into the disc spaces. At the same time,
because of their front attachment to the spinal ligament, all of the discs will be retracted back into their normal
spaces between the vertebrae and away f rom the nerve roots in the neck
Another simple procedure to correct this problem is lying on one's back on the very edge of the bed with the head
hanging back and down. This posture permits the weight of the head to stretch the non-weight-bearing neck and
bend it backward. A few moments in this position being totally relaxed will ease the tension in the neck This is a
good posture to generate a type of vacuum in the disc spaces in the neck After gently bending the head backwar d
so that you can see the floor, raise the head until you see the wall nearer your feet. This procedure may be effective
in creating an intermittent vacuum in the vertebral spaces between any two vertebrae. The vacuum draws water into
the disc spaces and spreads it to all parts in the neck joi nts and lubricates their movements. This water is needed to
be absorbed by th e disc core until it re-expands to its natural size, jacking up and separating
one vertebra from the other. You could now b end the head from one side to the other. Try to look at the wall and
floor of the room, first one side and then the other side. People who  begin to suffer from neck "arthritis," o r disc
displacement in the neck, may wish to test this simple procedure to improve the mobility of their neck joints. ANGINAL  PAIN
For more information read the section on cholesterol. In brief and to address the dehydration-produced pains of the
body together, anginal pain means water shortage in the body: The common factor to all of the various conditions
labeled as different diseases o f the heart and the lungs is an established dehydration. Take a look at Mr. Sam
Liguori's and Loretta Johnson's letters, published by their kind permission (among the testimonials in the section on
cholesterol, pages 92-93). Mr. Liguori's anginal pain disappeared when he started to increase his water intake. He
also has suff ered from hiatus hernia. That too has started to clear up. Given time, it will clear up completely. Also
take a look at Loretta Johnson's letter. You will see that even at the young-at-heart age of 90, her anginal pain can
be treated with water to the extent that she does not need any medication for her heart pains. HEADACHES
In my personal experience, migraine headaches seem to be brought about by dehydration; excess bed covers that
will not permit the body to  regulate its temperature during sleep; alcoholic beverages (hangover) initiating a process
of cellular dehydration, particularly in the brain; dietary or allergic triggers for histamine release; excess
environmental heat without water intake. Basically, m igraine seems to be an indicator of critical body temperature
regulation at times of "heat stress." Dehydration plays a major role in the precipitation of migraine headaches. The most prudent way of dealing with migraine is its prevention by th e regular intake of water. Once migraine
breaks the pain barriers, a cascade of chemical reactions will stop the body from further activity. At this time, one
may be forced to take pain-relieving medications with copious water. Sufficient cold or iced water may by itself be
able to cool the body (also the brain) from inside and promote closing of the vascul ar system everywhere. Excess
dilation of the peripheral vessels might well be the basic cau se of migraine headache. Mrs. Mav is Butler, a touring Australian Adventist m issionary in Silang in the Philippines, has an interesting history. She has for years suff ered from migraine headaches. She would at times be so incapacitated as to become bed-
ridden. She came across this book when she was in Silang and started to increase her wat er intake. She wrote to
me that she has so  improved that she now wants to shout it from the house tops. Read her letter. Hers is another of
those human stories that


 whether hy drununing her
heels on the n1an's back or raising one leg to "shake the hoof." She can, if she wants to, gain control of the coital dynatnics in
a number of situations. A wonun is virtually in cornmand of the
n1ovements when she is atop the n1an, nan1cly, in riding positions
and sitting positions. She has greater freedorn of n1ovement in
riding positions when she squats rather than kneels astride him. Her legs give her enough leverage for maximun1 desired stimula
tion of any area of her rnoon grotto. In most riding positions, after insertion the woman moves her
torso up and down. Then, to enjoy varying sensations, she can
move her pelvis in an oval track. During the downward move
ment, if she leans slightly forward and pushes her pubis slightly
to the back, her clitoral area may be stimulated by her partner's
organ. During the upward movement, if she leans slightly back
ward and pushes her pubis slightly to the front, her sensitive front
vaginal wall may be stimulated by the tip of the jade stalk. At the
deepest penetration, she may pause for a while, so that his stalk
head can massage her flower heart. An adept and creative woman
can change her up-and-down, front-and-back movements to vary
ing rice-husking motions-sideways, rotary, or corkscrew. In
short, she can stimulate her clitoral area, her front vaginal wall, or
her cervix at will. For centuries many femmes fatales of ancient China
empresses, priestesses, women of literature and art, renowned
courtesans-practiced an exquisite erotic technique. This form of
internal coital dynamics gives a woman's organ a life of its own, so
to speak. Once a woman has learned to control specific sexual
nerves and muscles, she is able to bring on vaginal quiverings vol
untarily. This ability, unknown to most women, occurs involun
tarily to a few women at the height of sexual ecstasy. The ancient
Taoists who probably devised the conscious trick and developed it
over the centuries did not give it a name; I have dubbed it the But
terfly Quiver. Today the Butterfly Quiver is not exclusively Chinese. In
dians practicing Tantrism know it. The French treasure it as pom
poir. Even in the United States it is familiar in the form of the
Kegel exercise, mentioned earlier. Undoubtedly, there are women
all over the world who arc gifted with the natural ability, or who
2JI have individually discovered and cultivated it, perhaps secretly. In
the modern bedroom, a woman who has mastered the Butterfly
Quiver can create incredible results for her partner and reap them
herself
The complex muscles in the pelvic area include both volun
tary and involuntary muscles. For this erotic technique two spe
cific groups are crucial: the constrictor cunni, which encircles the
vaginal rim, and the levator vaginae, which surrounds the vaginal
canal farther up (see the illustration on p. 177). Some women can
activate all the pelvic muscles together, but very few-either
through a natural gift or persistent practice-can activate at will
these two groups of muscles, jointly or separately. If a woman times her internal movements with her part
ner's thrusting during intercourse, she may experience a many
splendor ed thrill. She can relax her muscles when the jade stalk is
advancing; then, when it is deep inside her, she can activate the
constrictor cunni to grip the root of the stalk or use her levator
vaginae to massage the middle of the stalk. While her partner is
inside her and both are at rest, she can titillate her captive lightly
with the Butterfly Quiver, pulsating like butterfly wings, or force

own orgasm and help control that of their partner. With occa
sional exceptions, seasoned couples do not zip toward orgasm. In
stead, like gourn1ets at a feast, they sample and savor the delicacies
before them, leisurely and repeatedly, until they are satisfied. This
is the quintesse nce of eroticism. We hear many myths and "authoritative" pronouncements
about orgasm. The ancient Taoists ingeniously devised orgasmic
brinkmanship, but some of thern cherished the dogma of abso
lute nonejaculation for the man. Some Western sexologists have
advocated male ejaculation at every sexual union; others have in
sisted on simultaneous male and female orgasms. The Victorians
believed that women were incapable of orgasms. Freud's distinc
tion between clitoral and vaginal orgasms in women first was ac
cepted, then was discarded, and now may be coming back in a
revised version. Fortunatel y, many of today's sexologists have
more liberal views about orgasms than did their predecessors, and
many of the old myths and dogmas are behind us. For today's lovers the choice is wide open. If a man and woman
believe that the sole purpose of sex is propagation of the species,
they can simply agree to have the man ejaculate as soon as possi
ble. With today's advanced technology, they can even have in vitro
fertilization and test-tube babies. Procreation without recreation
enables thetn to bypass any sexual activity. But if partners want to
procreate through natural, physical activity, or if they just want to
make love without making babies, it pays for them to practice the
Art of the Bedchamber. Giving pleasure to each other by master
ing erotic techniques and controlling orgasn1 is a natural and le
gitimate goal for partners in bed. 233 ·"-N C I E N T S f: C R F T S t: 0 R M 0 D E R N I ( ) V t; I� S
All sop histicat ed lovers know that pleasu re delayed is pleasure
magnitied. Skillful lovers kno w how to excite and tease their part
ners to the edge of thei r precipic e, pull them back from the brink,
then push then 1 forwar d agai n. This stop-and-go strateg y, repeat
edly and carefully applied, can lift partners from plateau to pla
teau, each higher than the last, until they explode in ecstasy. From love-play through coitus, a man who is good in bed can
combine brinkmanship and other techniques to lead his partner
all the way to her brink. He can try to bring her to a series of
orgasms, perha ps superficial and diffuse, or to one Big 0, deep
and explosive. The former is the likely result of clitoral-oriented
love-play and coitus; the latter of techniques aimed especially at
the front vaginal wall and the cervix. Unless she is fettered psychologically or has a physiological
defect, any woman can be brought to the height of passion. A
woman in ecstasy is one of nature's loveliest sights-not only a
boost for her partner's sexual ego, but also one of the most power
ful aphrodisiacs available to him. A man who is good in bed is re
warded in more than one respect. In a sexually excited woman,
the vulva, clitoris, and vaginal passage are all highly congested;
the folds of the vaginal walls swell and bulge, and the cervix dips
downwar d. These alterations, and the ample lubrication of all
these parts, mean a soft, warm, elastic embrace for the man. When a woman is near a much-delayed, intense orgasm, she
can please her partner with the Butterfly Quiver. If she has trained
herself in the maneuver, she can initiate it herself at the critical
moment; if she is untrained, her partner's skill may have brought
her to such a state that her grotto muscles go into similar involun


 As	you	reduce	the	amount	of	warm	air	onto	your	finger,	you	begin	to
feel	a	need	or	want	for	air. Maintain	the	need	for	air	for	about	four	minutes. It	should	be	distinct
without	being	stressful. You	are	taking	in	a	small	breath	in	(1	cm)	and	allowing	out	a	relaxed
breath. The	overall	movements	of	your	breathing	should	have	reduced	by
about	30%	to	40%. Minimize	the	movement	of	your	chest	and	tummy. The	need	for	air	during	this	exercise	should	be	no
greater	than	at	the	end	of	the	Control	Pause.A
nother	way	to	describe	the	feeling	you	want	is	that	it	is	like	the	same	level
of	breathlessness	that	you	feel	during	a	mild	walk. The	only	difference	now	is
that	you	are	sitting	still. Knowing	this	will	help	reduce	any	panicky	feelings
that	you	may	experience. Your	need	for	air	should	be	distinct	but	not	stressful. If	your	need	for	air	is	not	distinct,	then	further	reduce	your	breathing. If	your
need	for	air	is	too	stressful,	then	breathe	a	little	more	and	allow	your	body	to
relax. If	you	feel	that	you	cannot	grasp	this	exercise	or	if	you	feel	too	much

or
simply	walk	with	your	mouth	closed	and	generate	the	feeling	of	needing	or
wanting	air. As	you	practice	this	exercise,	you	should	start	to	feel	warmer	as	the
carbon	dioxide	increases	in	your	blood. This	is	good	feedback	and
indicates	improved	blood	flow	and	oxygenation. If	you	don’t	feel	warmer,
ensure	that	you	have	air	shortage	and	that	you	are	able	to	sustain	it	for	four
minutes	at	a	time. Many	people	also	feel	their	anxiety	decrease	after
commencing	this	exercise. Their	minds	become	sharper	and	their	tension
eases. Every	now	and	again,	your	mind	may	wander. As	soon	as	you	notice	this,
gently	bring	your	attention	back	to	your	breathing	and	reduce	it. Since	this
can	happen	every	five	or	ten	seconds,	don’t	give	out	to	yourself	if	it	is
frequent. Your	ability	to	keep	your	attention	on	your	breathing	will	greatly
improve	with	practice. Feel	a	tolerable	but	distinct	need	for	air	throughout	the	four	minutes. In
addition	to	improved	oxygenation,	each	time	you	bring	your	attention
back	to	your	breath	you	are	helping	to	tame	your	mind. You	are
dissolving	your	thought	patterns	and	the	more	you	watch	your	breath
throughout	the	day,	the	more	frequently	your	thought	activity	subsides
and	stillness	takes	over.Correcting	breathing	volume	(a	more	detailed	approach)

T
he	following	exercise	is	the	essence	of	the	Buteyko	Method. The	merging
of	diaphragmatic	breathing	is	my	own	work	based	on	feedback	from	people
attending	my	clinic. This	is	back	to-	basics	learning	to	correct	the	volume	and
use	our	diaphragm. This	is	how	we	should	be	breathing	every	minute,	every
hour,	every	day. This	exercise	is	the	Left	Hand	Rule	of	Buteyko	and	is	defined	as	“reduction
of	breathing	volume	by	relaxation	of	the	muscles	involved	in	respiration	to
create	a	need	for	air.”	(The	Right	Hand	Rule	is	correct	posture	with	the	mouth
closed.) In	other	words,	our	breathing	volume	decreases	when	our	breathing
muscles	are	relaxed. There	are	three	parts	to	this	exercise,	and	they	all	fit	together. Learn	the	first
part	then	move	to	the	second,	and	finally	the	third. If	you	feel	that	you	cannot
master	this	exercise,	practice	the	easier	version	instead. In	time,	as	your	CP
increases,	you	can	return	to	this	exercise. Part	1. Relaxation	of	respiratory	muscles. Part	2. Learning	to	tummy	breathes. Part	3. Bringing	reduced	and	diaphragmatic	breathing	together. Since	food	affects	your	breathing,	it	is	best	to	practice	this	exercise	on	an
empty	stomach	or	at	least	not	straight	after	eating. This	is	by	far	the	most	important	exercise,	as	it	trains	you	to	be	aware	of	your
breathing	volume,	to	permanently	change	your	CO
2
	levels	and	to	relax	the
muscles	involved	with	respiration. Adopt	a	correct	but	comfortable	posture. Correct	posture	involves	sitting	up
straight	with	both	feet	under	your	chair. Sit	in	the	horse	rider	position	at	the
edge	of	the	chair	with	your	back	straight	and	your	knees	lower	than	your	hips. Correct	posture	is	very	important	in	helping	to	reduce	your	breathing. If	you
are	slouched,	you	will	compress	your	diaphragm,	increase	the	tension	that	you
experience	and	increase	your	breathing	volume. For	example,	the	following	exercise	illustrates	just	how	posture	affects	our
breathing:

Bend	forward;
Feel	how	you	are	breathing	for	a	couple	of	minutes;
Sit	up;
Now	feel	how	you	are	breathing. You	will	find	that	it	is	a	lot	easier	to	breathe	while	sitting	up. The	diaphragm
T
he	diaphragm	is	our	main	breathing	muscle. It	is	a	dome	shaped	sheet	of
muscle	that	separates	our	thorax,	which	houses	the	heart	and	lungs	from	our
abdomen,	which	holds	the	intestines,	stomach,	liver	and	kidneys. Diaphragmatic	breathing	is	more	efficient	because	the	amount	of	blood	flow
in	the	lower	lobes	of	the	lungs	is	greater	than	in	the	upper. The	fast,	shallow
breaths	of	people	who	chronically	hyperventilate	results	in	less	oxygen
transfer	to	the	blood	and	a	greater	loss	of	CO
2
. Fast,	shallow	breaths	also
activate	thesympathetic	nervous	system,	resulting	in	more	tension. The	good	news	is	that
diaphragmatic	breathing	can	be	easily	learned. Part	1:	Relaxation	of	respiratory	muscles
Sit	up	straight. Lengthen	the	distance	between	your	naval	and	sternum
(chest). Forcing	yourself	into	a	“straight	position”	is	not	necessary,	as
this	only	increases	tension. Place	one	hand	on	your	tummy	(just	above	your	navel)	and	one	hand	on
your	chest. Place	attention	on	the	movements	of	your	lower	hand. While	sitting	up
straight,	gently	push	your	tummy	outwards. Don’t	make	any	changes	to
your	breathing	at	this	point. This	exercise	is	primarily	to	encourage
diaphragmatic	movement. Alternatively,	you	can	lie	on	your	back	with
both	knees	bent. Draw	in	your	tummy	and	watch	your	hand	move	inwards. Do	this	simple
exercise	for	a	few	minutes	to	help	activate	a	“dormant”	diaphragm. Recap
Gently	push	your	tummy	out. Watch	your	hand	move	outwards. Gently	draw	your	tummy	in. Watch	your	hand	move	inwards. At	this	point,	don’t	be	concerned	about	how	you	are	breathing. Continue	to	do
this	for	just	a	few	minutes. When	you	feel	you	can	move	your	tummy	in	and	out	easily	at	will,	proceed	to
the	next	stage,	which	is	to	incorporate	tummy	movements	with	breathing. The

proteins	of	the
highest	quality	are,	very	simply,	those	that	provide,	upon	digestion,	the	right
kinds	and	amounts	of	amino	acids	needed	to	efficiently	synthesize	our	new
tissue	proteins. This	is	what	that	word	“quality”	really	means:	it	is	the	ability
of	food	proteins	to	provide	the	right	kinds	and	amounts	of	amino	acids	to
make	our	new	proteins. Can	you	guess	what	food	we	might	eat	to	most	efficiently	provide	the
building	blocks	for	our	replacement	proteins. The	answer	is	human	flesh. Its
protein	has	just	the	right	amount	of	the	needed	amino	acids. But	while	our
fellow	men	and	women	are	not	for	dinner,	we	do	get	the	next	“best”	protein
by	eating	other	animals. The	proteins	of	other	animals	are	very	similar	to	our
proteins	because	they	mostly	have	the	right	amounts	of	each	of	the	needed
amino	acids. These	proteins	can	be	used	very	efficiently	and	therefore	are
called	“high	quality. ”	Among	animal	foods,	the	proteins	of	milk	and	eggs
represent	the	best	amino	acid	matches	for	our	proteins,	and	thus	are
considered	the	highest	quality. While	the	“lower	quality”	plant	proteins	may
be	lacking	in	one	or	more	of	the	essential	amino	acids,	as	a	group	they
do
contain	all	of	them. The	concept	of	quality	really	means	the	efficiency	with	which	food
proteins	are	used	to	promote	growth. This	would	be	well	and	good	if	the
greatest	efficiency	equaled	the	greatest	health,	but	it	doesn’t,	and	that’s	why
the	terms	efficiency	and	quality	are	misleading. In	fact,	to	give	you	a	taste	of
what’s	to	come,	there	is	a	mountain	of	compelling	research
showing	that
“low-quality”	plant	protein,	which	allows	for	slow	but	steady	synthesis	of
new	proteins,	is	the	healthiest	type	of	protein. Slow	but	steady	wins	the	race. The	quality	of	protein	found	in	a	specific	food	is	determined	by	seeing	how
fast	animals	would	grow	while	consuming	it. Some	foods,	namely	those	from
animals,	emerge	with	a	very	high	protein	efficiency	ratio	and	value. 1
This	focus	on	efficiency	of	body	growth,	as	if	it	were	good	health,
encourages	the	consumption	of	protein	with	the	highest	“quality. ”	As	any
marketer	will	tell	you,	a	product	that	is	defined	as	being	high	quality	instantly
earns	the	trust	of	consumers. For	well	over	100	years,	we	have	been	captive	to
this	misleading	language	and	have	oftentimes	made	the	unfortunate	leap	to
thinking	that	more	quality	equals	more	health. The	basis	for	this	concept	of	protein	quality	was	not	well	known	among
the	public,	but	its	impact	was—and	still	is—highly	significant. People,	for
example,	who	choose	to	consume	a	plant-based	diet	will	often	ask,	even
today,	“Where	do	I	get	my	protein. ”	as	if	plants	don’t	have	protein. Even	if	it
is	known	that	plants	have	protein,	there	is	still	the	concern	about	its	perceived
poor	quality. This	has	led	people	to	believe	that	they	must	meticulously
combine	proteins	from	different	plant	sources	during	each	meal	so	that	they
can	mutually	compensate	for	each	other’s	amino	acid	deficits. However,	this
is	overstating	the	case. We	now	know	that	through	enormously	complex
metabolic	systems,	the	human	body	can	derive	all	the	essential	amino	acids
from	the	natural	variety	of	plant	proteins	that	we	encounter	every	day. It
doesn’t	require	eating	higher	quantities	of	plant	protein	or	meticulouslyplanning	every	meal. Unfortunately,	the	enduring	concept	of	protein	quality
has	greatly	obscured	this	information. THE	PROTEIN	GAP
The	most	important	issue	in	nutrition	and	agriculture	during	my	early	career
was	figuring	out	ways	to	increase	the	consumption	of	protein,	making	sure	it
was	of	the	highest	possible	quality. My	colleagues	and	I	all	believed	in	this
common	goal. From	my	early	years	on	the	farm	to	my	graduate	education,	I
accepted	this	virtual	reverence	for	protein. As	a	youngster,	I	remember	that
the	most	expensive	part	of	farm	animal	feed	was	the	protein	supplements	that
we	fed	to	our	cows	and	pigs. Then,	at	graduate	school,	I	spent	three	years
(1958-1961)	doing	my	Ph. D. research	trying	to	improve	the	supply	of	high-
quality	protein	by	growing	cows	and	sheep	more	efficiently	so	we	could	eat
more	of	them. 2,	3
I	went	all	the	way	through	my	graduate	studies	with	a	profound	belief	that
promoting	high-quality	protein,	as	in	animal-based	foods,	was	a	very
important	task. My	graduate	research,	although	cited	a	few	times	over	the
next	decade	or	so,	was	only	a	small	part	of	much	larger	efforts	by	other
research	groups	to	address	a	protein	situation	worldwide. During	the	1960s
and	1970s,	I	was	to	hear	over	and	over	again	about	a	so-called	“protein	gap”
in	the	developing	world. 4
The	protein	gap	stipulated	that	world	hunger	and	malnutrition	among
children	in	the	third	world	was	a	result	of	not	having	enough	protein	to
consume,	especially	high-quality	(i. e. animal)	protein. 1,	4,	5
	According	to	this
view,	those	in	the	third	world	were	especially	deficient	in	“high-quality”
protein,	or	animal	protein. Projects	were	springing	up	all	over	the	place	to
address	this	“protein	gap”	problem. A	prominent	MIT	professor	and	his
younger	colleague	concluded	in	1976	that	“an	adequate	supply	of	protein	is	a
central	aspect	of	the	world	food	problem“
5
	and	further	that	“unless…
desirably	[supplemented]	by	modest	amounts	of	milk,	eggs,	meat	or	fish,	the
predominantly	cereal	diets	[of	poor	nations]	are…	deficient	in	protein	for
growing	children	…. ”	To	address	this	dire	problem:
MIT	was	developing	a	protein-rich	food	supplement	called	INCA-
PARINA. Purdue	University	was	breeding	corn	to	contain	more	lysine,	the
“deficient”	amino	acid	in	corn	protein. The	U. S. government	was	subsidizing	the	production	of	dried	milk
powder	to	provide	high-quality	protein	for	the	world’s	poor. Cornell	University	was	providing	a	wealth	of	talent	to	the	Philippines	to
help	develop	both	a	high-protein	rice	variety	and	a	livestock	industry. Auburn	University	and	MIT	were	grinding	up	fish	to	produce	“fishprotein	concentrate”	to	feed	the	world’s	poor. The	United	Nations,	the	U.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

Q


crease	in	prostate	cancer	risk	with	increased	lycopene	intake;	three	non-
statistically	significant	studies	agree;	and	seven	studies	do	not	show	any
association. 28
	But	these	studies	measured	lycopene	intake	from
whole	foods,
namely	tomatoes. So,	while	these	studies	certainly	indicate	that	the	tomato	is
still	a	healthy	food,
28
	does	that	mean	we	can	assume	that	lycopene,	by	itself,
reduces	prostate	cancer	risk? There	are	hundreds,	even	thousands,	of
chemicals	in	tomatoes. Do	we	have	evidence	that	isolated	lycopene	will	do
what	tomatoes	do,	especially	for	those	who	don’t	like	tomatoes? The	answer
is	no. 29
There	is	no	evidence	for	a	lycopene-specific	effect	on	prostate	cancer,	and
I	seriously	doubt	whether	we	will	ever	have	convincing	evidence. Nonetheless	the	lycopene	business	is	up	and	running. In-depth	studies	are
underway	to	determine	the	most	effective	dose	of	lycopene	as	well	as	to
determine	whether	commercial	lycopene	preparations	are	safe	(when	tested	in
rats	and	rabbits,	that	is). 27
	Also,	consideration	is	being	given	to	the	possibility
of	genetically	modifying	plants	for	higher	levels	of	lycopene	and	other
carotenoids. 30
	It	is	a	real	stretch	to	call	this	series	of	lycopene	reports
legitimate	science. In	my	book,	this	is	what	I	call	technological	tinkering	and
marketing,	not	science. Five	years	before	the	latest	“discovery”	of	lycopene,	a	graduate	student	of
mine,	Youping	He,	compared	four	different	carotenoids	(beta-carotene,
lycopene	from	tomatoes,	canthaxanthin	from	carrots	and	cryptoxanthin	from
oranges)	regarding	their	ability	to	prevent	cancer	in	experimental	animals. 31,
32
	Depending	on	what	we	were	testing	and	how
we	did	the	test,	single
carotenoids	could	have	widely	ranging	potencies. While	one	carotenoid	is
potent	in	one	reaction,	the	same	carotenoid	is	far	less	potent	for	another
reaction. This	variation	manifests	itself	in	countless	ways	involving	hundreds
of	antioxidants	and	thousands	of	different	reactions,	forming	a	nearlyindecipherable	network. Consuming	one	carotenoid	at	a	time	in	the	form	of	a
pill	will	never	be	the	same	as	eating	the	whole	food,	which	provides	the
natural	network	of	health-supporting	nutrients. Five	years	after	our	rather	obscure	work	on	these	antioxidants,
32
	a	Harvard
study
33
	effectively	kicked	off	the	lycopene	campaign. In	my	opinion,
lycopene,	as	a	cancer	fighter,	is	headed	for	an	already	overcrowded	magic
bullet	graveyard,	leaving	behind	a	trail	of	deep	confusion.FRUIT	CLAIMS
The	fruit	industry	plays	this	game	just	like	everyone	else. For	example,	when
you	think	of	vitamin	C,	what	food	product	comes	to	mind? If	you	don’t	think
of	oranges	and	orange	juice,	you	are	unusual. Most	of	us	have	heard	ad
nauseum	that	oranges	are	a	good	source	of	vitamin	C.
This	belief,	however,	is	just	another	result	of	good	marketing. How	much
do	you	know,	for	example,	about	vitamin	C’s	relationship	to	diet	and	disease? Let’s	start	with	the	basics. Although	you	probably	know	that	oranges	are	a
good	source	of	vitamin	C,	you	may	be	surprised	to	know	that	many	other
plant	foods	have	considerably	more. One	cup	of	peppers,	strawberries,
broccoli	or	peas	all	have	more. One	papaya	has	as	much	as	four	times	more
vitamin	C	than	one	orange. 34
Beyond	the	fact	that	many	other	foods	are	better	sources	of	vitamin	C,
what	can	we	say	about	the	vitamin	C	that	is	in	oranges? This	concerns	the
ability	of	the	vitamin	to	act	as	an	antioxidant. How	much	of	the	total
antioxidant	activity	in	an	orange	is	actually	contributed	by	its	vitamin	C? Probably	not	more	than	1–2%. 35
	Furthermore,	measuring	antioxidant	activity
by	using	“test	tube”	studies	does	not	represent	the	same	vitamin	C	activity
that	takes	place	in	our	bodies. Most	of	our	impressions	about	vitamin	C	and	oranges	are	a	mixture	of
conjectures	and	assumptions	about	out-of-context	evidence. Who	first
established	these	assumptions? Orange	merchants. Did	they	justify	their
assumptions	on	the	basis	of	careful	research? Of	course	not. Did	these
assumptions	(presented	as	fact)	sound	good	to	the	marketing	people? Of
course	they	did. Would	I	eat	an	orange	to	get	my	vitamin
C? No. Would	I	eat
an	orange	because	it	is	a	healthy	plant	food	with	a	complex	network	of
chemicals	that	almost	certainly	offer	health	benefits? Absolutely. I	played	a	small	role	in	this	story	a	couple	of	decades	ago. In	the	1970s
and	1980s,	I	appeared	in	a	television	ad	for	citrus	fruits. A	New	York	public
relations	firm	for	the	Florida	Citrus	Commission	had	earlier	interviewed	me
about	fruit,	nutrition	and	health. This	interview,	unknown	to	me	at	the	time,
was	the	source	of	my	presence	on	the	ad. I	had	not	seen	the	ad	and	I	did	not
get	paid	for	it,	but,	nonetheless,	I	was	one	of	the	talking	heads	that	helped	the
Florida	Citrus	Commission	build	its	case	for	the	vitamin	C	content	of	oranges. Why	did	I	do	the	interview? At	that	point	in	my	career,	I	probably	thought
that	the	vitamin	C	in	oranges	was	important,	and,	regardless	of	vitamin	C,
oranges	were	very	healthy	foods	to	eat. It	is	very	easy	for	scientists	to	get	caught	in	the	reductionism	web	of
thinking,	even	if	they	have	other	intentions. It	has	not	been	until	recently,after	a	lifetime	of	research,	that	I	have	come	to	realize	how	damaging	it	is	to
take	details	out	of	context	and	to	make	subsequent	claims	about	diet	and
health. Industry	uses	these	details	extremely	well,	and	the	result	is	public
confusion. Every	year,	it	seems,	some	new	product	is	being	touted	as	the	key
to	good	health. The	situation	is	so	bad	that	“health”	sections	of	grocery	stores
are	often	stocked	more	with	supplements	and	special	preparations	of
seemingly	magic	ingredients	than	they	are	with	real	food. Don’t	be	tricked:
the	healthiest	section	of	any	store	is	the	place	where	they	sell	whole	fruits	and
vegetables—the	produce	section. Perhaps	worst	of	all,	industry	corrupts	scientific	evidence	even	when	its
product	has	been	linked	to	serious	health	problems. Our	kids	are	often	the
most	coveted	targets	of	their	marketing. The	American	government	has
passed	legislation	preventing	cigarette	and	alcohol	companies	from	marketing
their	products	to	children. Why	have	we	ignored	food? Even	though	it	is
accepted	that	food	plays	a	major	role	in	many	chronic	diseases,	we	allow	food
industries	not	only	to	market	directly	to	children,	but	also	to	use	our	publicly-
funded	school	systems	to	do	it. The	long-term	burden	of	our	short

NCOOKED  BREAD
   There are two basic methods for making uncooked bread. For the first method, mix all soft or liquid ingredients together, and add to flour. Mix together in large bowl, and
knead the mixture with your hands until it becomes fine
dough. Form into roll about 2 to 4 inches in diameter, and turn on dry whole wheat flour until outside of roll is dry and
no longer sticky. Wrap roll in wax paper, and chill in
refrigerator overnight or until roll is firm. Cut into thin slices
as needed and serve. In following second method, mix ingredients as before and
knead into dough. Cover a bread board with dry whole wheat
flour, and roll the dough into the flour in a layer about one-fourth inch thick (more or less, according to choice). Use the
rim of a drinking glass to cut out round pieces from the flat
dough. Place pieces on tray, and chill in refrigerator until
dough becomes firm. Serve as ordinary bread. Uncooked bread is flavorful exactly as made. Butter,
cheese, and other spreads are optional and may be used according to taste. Uncooked bread should be kept under refrigeration at all
times. As no enzymes are destroyed, the bread tends to become rancid and spoil more rapidly than baked bread when
 kept at ordinary room temperature. Keeping the bread cold
also helps to maintain firmness of texture. WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

MIXED RECIPES
MUESLI PORRIDGE
2 tablespoons coarse                 1 tablespoon honey
   rolled oats                             ½  cup milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice           1 tablespoon nut meats
1 cup chopped apple
   Soak rolled oats in milk for 30 minutes. Add other
ingredients and mix well. Chill in refrigerator and serve cold. For variations, use grated apple or mashed berries instead of
chopped apple, or use cream instead of milk. Finely grated
nut meats may be sprinkled on muesli if desired. STEAK TARTAR
1 pound sirloin steak               1 chopped onion
2 egg yolks
   Run sirloin steak twice through meat grinder. Add egg yolk
and chopped onion and mix well. Divide into two or more
even parts, form into oval shape, and serve immediately. For variations, use round steak or any other tender cut of
beef, or substitute a little garlic or vegetable broth powder for onion. Honey, butter, or lemon juice may then be included with mixture if desired. Steak Tartar may be served on lettuce
leaves and garnished with a ring of sliced oranges or other fresh fruit. UNCOOKED VEGETABLE SOUP
1 cup chopped carrots            ½ cup asparagus pieces
1 cup chopped celery               2 tomatoes, cut in small pieces
1 cup fresh peas                       1 chopped onion 1 quart water                           2 sprigs parsley, chopped
   Place water on fire to boil. Combine all vegetable and fruit
ingredients in large bowl. Pour boiling water over mixture, but do not cook. Allow to set until soup arrives at desired
temperature for consumption. For variations, 2 cups tomato juice may be used to replace 2
cups water, adding the juice after it has been warmed but not
boiled. A teaspoon of vegetable broth powder may be added
for extra flavor. Turnips, potatoes, spinach, okra, string
beans, or other vegetables, sliced or chopped, may be used to
replace one-half of vegeta bles in basic recipe. PEPPERMINT TEA
   Peppermint tea is prepared according to the same method as
ordinary tea. For each 1 to 1½  teaspoons of dried peppermint
leaves, use 1 cup of boiling water. Pour boiling water over the leaves, but do not boil. Allow to steep for 3 minutes, drain,
and serve as is, or flavor with honey, lemon juice slices or other natural ingredients. Prepare other herb teas in the same manner. If tea bags are
available, use one tea bag for each cup of water. While hot
water or boiling water is applied in all cases, the heating
process ends as soon as the water is poured over the herbs. When herbs are actually boiled in water, they lose nutritional
values and often become bitter and insipid. DATE SYRUP
   Pit five pounds of soft dates. Place in large bowl, and add
water until water level is about three inches above dates. Soak for 24 hours or more. Put mixture into cloth sack, and squeeze with hands, allowing juice to drop into bowl below. Place juice in sun and cover with cheesecloth. Remove after
two or three days, or when juice has thickened to form syrup. You can use date syrup as a natural sweetening and flavoring
agent added to many foods. It is especially useful in the preparation of ice cream, puddings, and


 is generally conceded to be the most logical and practical method  of
bringing about the preponderace of L. Acidophilus type of  bacteria in the intestines. By administering L. Acidophilus milk
implantation the proliferation of the organisms in the intestinal tract are more rapidly accomplished for then there is direc t
implantation of large numbers of viable organisms. The lactose of milk induces the multiplication of the desired type of bacteria. It is necessary that large quantities of very active cultures should be taken, and special measures must be adopted to supply  to the
B. acidophilus, when in the colon, the carboyhydrates w hich it requires for efficient growth. The growth in the large intestine of
lactobacillus acidophilus depends solely on starch and sugar, but more so on milk sugar. In order to change the intestinal fl ora, it is
best to adopt the following rules. For fift een days, about eight ounces to sixteen ounces of culture of lactobacillus acidophilus, in which three large tablespoonsful o f
lactose is dissolved, should be taken daily thirty minutes before breakfast; and for the same length of time, three large
tablesp oonsful of lactose should be dissolved ‘many kind of fruit juices, milk, soups, broth or water, and taken daily thirty
minutes before supper. After this, four ounces to eight ounces of lactobacillus acidophilus culture, in which three tablespoo nsful of
lactose have been dissolved, should betaken every morning for fifteen more days. The lactose, however, should be taken as before. After this, the quantity of the culture of the lactobacillus acidophilus can be reduced to four ounces every day for fifteen more
days. For the remainder of the time, the ingestion of the culture of the lactobacillus acidophilus, two ounces every day, may  be
sufficient to keep the required amount of lactobacillus acidophilus present in the large intestinal tract. One must remember that the
amount of the daily requirement of lactose, should continue to be about three tablespoonsful, morning and evening, as the dai ly
requirement. As to the length of time that the lactobacillus acidophilus culture (together with the lactose) should be taken in order for one to
gain the desired results depends on the severity of the condition that is being treated. However, a period ranging from four to six
months may be necessary. A period of about three months of rest may be taken and then the procedur e, if necessary, may be
repeated. It is possible that the taking of the lactobacillus acidophilus culture and the rest periods may have to go on for some time. When is the intestinal flora changed? The intestinal flora is changed when the stools are soft, frequent (three times a day), and free
from putrid or rancid odor. Examination by a bacteriologist should give positive 80 and negative 20, which means 80% of the a cid
formers and 20% of other bacteria. In a bad flora, the percentage will be the reverse, 2 0-80. Of course, a change from 20 -80 or
worse to 40 -60 or 50 -50, is a decided improvement, but this should not be considered at all satisfactory. Old troubles may still
continue, perhaps somewhat modified. But when the change reaches 75 -25, marked improvem ent will be evident, and the more
complete the change of flora, the more decided will be the change for the better in the patient’s symptoms. The advantages of regularly using lactobacillus acidophilus together with the lactose mixture are obvious. Throug h not a cure -all,
yet one would be temped to say that it should be used not only when diseases have already made their inroad, but more so as a
preventive of disease. A few more suggestions about the lactobacillus acidophilus therapy The culture, to be eff ective, must
contain at least 200,000,000 lactobacillus acidophilus per cubic centimeter. Although clinicians experience has been that
lactobacillus acidophilus therapy has to be taken in large doses to be effective, there have been cases in which daily do ses even as
small as four ounces has proved satisfactory when it was mixed with a like amount of lactose. In about 75 -80% of non -complicated
constipation, lactobacillus acidophilus therapy has given uniform good results. The lactobacillus acidophilus cultu re should be
used within or before the expiration date marked on the bottle.”*

INTESTINAL FLORA
Current research into intestinal flora of the human bowel has revealed some new and valuable information for the health -seeking
individual. (See Bibliography f or further reading.) Dr. Paul Gyorgy of the Institute of Nutrition Academy of Medical Sciences of
the USSR (discoverer of vitamin B -6), has determined that the main component of the normal intestinal flora of man is
lactobacillus bifidus. Bifidus bacterium  readily establishes itself in the colon of newborns when fed mother’s milk. It is bifidus that
is found in the nipple of lactating mothers. Very encouraging research in both the USSR and Germany have demonstrated the rejuvenating qualities of this bacter ia when it is
well established in the colon. The only commercially -available form of lactobacillus bifidus that I am aware of comes under the
brand name of Eugalan Topfer Forte, and can be found in your health food stores. If not locally available, address  your inquiry for
this product and information to: Bio -Nutritional Products (see Bibliography) A program using this bacteria following the former
instructions should bring encouraging results to those who suffer from a lack of proper intestinal flora. Ever yone should take a
good replenishment of acidophilus culture, which can be purchased at any health food store. I recommend taking this culture
regardless if you have been on the colema treatments or not. However, it is strongly recommended to be taken afte r the colema
treatments. “The intestinal Flora in Constipation” by N. A. Ferri, Sr., M.D., Chicago, IL. ഊ55

CHAPTER 7
NATURAL METHODS AND TECHNIQUES FOR BOWEL IMPROVEMENT: A WHOLISTIC APPROACH
There are many detoxifying agents which may be useful under various circumstances, but we need to approach detoxification from
a “whole body” perspective. We need to do more than just take care of the bowel or liver. We must have the right chemical
balance for the body. It is not sufficient to use a drug to provide  a chemical stimulus to “drive” the body to work right. Rather, we
must repair, rebuild and regenerate the body as we go along. Proper breathing is important to get oxygen to the organs and ti ssues
of the body. Exercise is good to get the blood and lymph c irculating but too much exercise in a toxic -laden body is only stirring up
muddy waters. Lymph drainage is important. Drainage can be increased through the use of protomorphogens or through the use of
herbal substances such as blue violet tea. Stimulating increased lymph drainage, however, is not sufficient to carry off toxins that
may be pouring into the lymphatic system via a stagnant bowel holding five or six meals before elimination takes place or fro m a
bowel pocket holding a mass of putrid material wh ich is being reabsorbed into the body. We dilute the God -given power of our
body when the bowel does not eliminate eighteen hours after each meal. BACKGROUND STUDIES —MY PREVIOUS WORK
Rather than restating work that I have written in the past it would be b eneficial for the reader to study four of my previous books. These give a good background for the work that is presented here. For instance, if you really want to know how to take care of colitis, you should know about the liquified salads. They allow bulk to
get into the bowel in a liquefied form that is more easily digestible. Unfortunately people do not chew well enough - some have
dentures or missing teeth that make mastication difficult - others are just lazy. Liquefied salads are a way to get the food
reduced to an easily -assimilable size. The book Blending Magic tells how to prepare delicious foods that retain their full enzyme
and nutrient values. Doctor/Patient Handbook describes the reversal process and the ways of taking care of the colon through  that process. Nature Has
A Remedy is a book that covers the ways of building the body wholistically through the use of herbs, sunshine, fresh air, wat er and

Our next story is in the 38th chapter of the book of Genesis. Here is a King
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenwhose name is Judah, the first three letters of whose name also beings
with JOD HE VAU. Tamar is his daughter-in-law. The word Tamar means a palm tree or the most beautiful, the most come -
ly. She is gracious and beautiful to look on and is called a palm tree. A
tall, stately palm tree blossoms even in the desert – wherever it is there
is an oasis. When you see the palm tree in the desert, there will be found
what you seek most in that parched land. There is nothing more desirable
to a man moving across a desert than the sight of a palm tree. In our case, to be practical, our objective is the palm tree. That is the
stately, beautiful one that we seek. Whatever it is that you and I want,
what we truly desire, is personified in the story as Tamar the beautiful. We are told she dresses herself in the veils of a harlot and sits in the pub -
lic place. Her father-in-law, King Judah, comes by; and he is so in love
with this one who is veiled that he offers her a kid to be intimate with her. She said, “What will you give me as a pledge that you will give me a kid. ”
Looking around he said, “What do you want me to give as a pledge. ”
She answered, “Give me your ring, give me your bracelets, and give me
your staff. ”
Whereupon, he took from his hand the ring, and the bracelet, and gave
them to her along with his sceptre. And he went in unto her and knew
her, and she bore him a son. That is the story; now for the interpretation. Man has one gift that is truly
his to give, and that is himself. He has no other gift, as told you in the
very first creative act of Adam begetting the woman out of himself. There
was no other substance in the world but himself with which he could fash -
ion the object of his desire. In like manner Judah had but one gift that
was truly his to give – himself, as the ring, the bracelets and the the staff
symbolized, for these were the symbols of his kingship. Man offers that which is not himself, but life demands that he give the one
thing that symbolizes himself. “Give me your ring, give me your bracelet,
give me your sceptre. ” There make the King. When he gives them he
gives of himself. You are the great King Judah. Before you can know your Tamar and make
her bear your likeness in the world, you must go in unto her and give of
self. Suppose I want security. I cannot get it by knowing people who have
it. I cannot get it by pulling strings. I must become conscious of being se -
cure. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenLet us say I want to be healthy. Pills will not do it. Diet or climate will not
do it. I must become conscious of being healthy by assuming the feeling
of being healthy. Perhaps I want to be lifted up in this world. Merely looking at kings and
presidents and noble people and living in their reflection will not make me
dignified. I must become conscious of being noble and dignified and walk
as though I were that which I now want to be. When I walk in that light I give of myself to the image that haunted my
mind, and in time she bears me a child; which means I objectify a world
in harmony with that which I am conscious of being. You are King Judah and you are also Tamar. When you become conscious
of being that which you want to be you are Tamar. Then you crystallize
your desire within the world round about you. No matter what stories you read in the Bible, no matter how many char -
acters these ancient story-tellers introduced into the drama, there is one
thing you and I must always bear in mind – they all take place within the
mind of the individual man. All the characters live in the mind of the indi -
vidual man. As you read the story, make it fit the pattern of self. Know that your con -
sciousness is the only reality. Then know what you want to be. Then as -
sume the feeling of being that which you want to be, and remain faithful
to your assumption, living and acting on your conviction. Always make it
fit that pattern. *****
Our third interpretation is the story of Isaac and his two sons: Esau and
Jacob. The picture is drawn of a blind man being deceived by his second
son into giving him the blessing which belonged to his first son. The story
stressed the point that the deception was accomplished through the sense
of touch. “And Isaac said unto Jacob, come near, I pray thee that I may feel thee,
my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not. And Jacob went near
unto Isaac his father; and he felt him. And it came to pass, as soon as
Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone
out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in
from his hunting. ” (Gen 27:21). This story can be very helpful if you will re-enact it now. Again bear in
mind that all the characters of the Bible are personifications of abstract
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenideas and must be fulfilled in the individual man. You are the blind father
and both sons. Isaac is old and blind, and sensing the approach of death, calls his first
son Esau a rough hairy boy, and sends him into the woods that he may
bring in some venison. The second son, Jacob, a smooth skinned boy, overheard the request of
his father. Desiring the birthright of his brother, Jacob, the smooth
skinned son, slaughtered one of his father's flock and skinned it. Then,
dressed in the hairy skins of the kid he had slaughtered, he came through
subtlety and betrayed his father into believing that he was Esau. The father said, “Come close my son that I may feel you. I cannot see,
but come that I may feel. ” Note the stress that is placed upon feeling in
this story. He came close and the father said to him, “The voice is Jacob's voice, but
the hands are the hands of Esau. ” and Feeling the roughness, the reality
of the son Esau, he pronounced the blessing and gave it to Jacob. You are told in the story that as Isaac pronounced the blessing and Jacob
had scarcely gone out from his presence, that his brother Esau came in
from his hunting. This is an important verse. Do not become distressed in our practical ap -
proach to it, for as you sit here you, too, are Isaac. This room in which
you are seated is your present Esau. This is the rough or sensibly known
world, known by the reason of your bodily organs. All of your senses bear
witness to the fact that you are here in this room. Everything tells you
that you are here, but perhaps you do not want to be here. You can apply this toward any objective. The room in which you are seat -
ed at any time – the environment in which you are placed, this is your
rough or sensibly known world or son which is personified in the story as
Esau. What you would like in place of what you have or are is your
smooth skinned state or Jacob, the supplanter. You do not send your visible world hunting, as so many people do, by de -
nial. By saying it does not exist you make it all the more real. Instead,
you simply remove your attention from the region of sensation which at
this moment is the room round about you, and you concentrate your at -
tention on that which you want to put in its place, that which you want to
make real. In concentrating on your objective, the secret is to bring it here. You must
make elsewhere here and then now. Imagine that you objective is so
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenclose that you can feel it. Suppose at this very moment I want a piano here in this room. To see a
piano in my mind's eye existing elsewhere does not do it. But to visualize
it in this room as though it were here and to put my mental hand upon
the piano and to feel it solidly real, is to take that subjective state person -
ified as my second son Jacob and bring it so close that I can feel it. Isaac is called a blind man. You are blind because you do not see your ob -
jective with your bodily organs, you cannot see it with your objective
senses. You only perceive it with your mind, but you bring it so close that
you can feel it as though it were solidly real now. When this is done and
you lose yourself in its reality and feel it to be real, open your eyes. When you open your eyes what happens. The room that you had shut out

Creation is always happening. Every time an individual has
a thought, or a prolonged chronic way of thinking, they're in
the creation process. Something is going to manifest out of
those thoughts. What you are thinking now is creating your future life. You create
your life with your thoughts. Because you are always thinking, you The Secret Revealed 17
are always creating. What you think about the most or focus on the
most is what will appear as your life. Like all the laws of nature, there is utter perfection in this law. You cre-
ate your life. Whatever you sow, you reap! Your thoughts are seeds,
and the harvest you reap will depend on the seeds you plant. If you are complaining, the law of attraction will powerfully bring
into your life more situations for you to complain about. If you are
listening to someone else complain and focusing on that sympa-
thizing with them, agreeing with them, in that moment, you are
attracting more situations to yourself to complain about. The law is simply reflecting and giving back to you exactly what
you are focusing on with your thoughts. With this powerful knowl-
edge, you can completely change every circumstance and event in
your entire life, by changing the way you think. I had a student named Robert, who was taking an
online course I have, part of which entails email access
to me. Robert was gay. He outlined all of the grim realities of his
life in his emails to me. In his job, his coworkers ganged up
on him. It was constantly stressful because of how nasty BILL HARRIS

they were with him. When he walked down the street, he was
accosted by homophobic people who wanted to abuse him in
some way. He wanted to become a stand-up comedian, and
when he did a stand-up comedy job, everybody heckled him
about being gay. His whole life was one of unhappiness and
misery, and it all focused around being attacked because he
was gay. I began to teach him that he was focusing on what he did not
want. I directed him back to his email that he sent me and
said, "Read it again. Look at all the things you do not want
that you're telling me about. I can tell you're very passionate
about this and when you focus on something with a lot of
passion, it makes it happen even faster!" Then he started taking this thing about focusing on what
you want to heart, and he began really trying it. What
happened within the next six to eight weeks was an absolute
miracle. All the people in his office who had been harassing
him either transferred to another department, quit working
at the company, or started completely leaving him alone. He
began to love his job. When he walked down the street, nobody
harassed him anymore. They just weren't there. When he did
his stand-up comedy routines he started getting standing
ovations, and nobody was heckling him! His whole life changed because he changed from focusing on
what he did not want, what he was afraid of, what he wanted
to avoid, to focusing on what he did want. The Secret Revealed 19
Robert's life changed because he changed his thoughts. He emitted
a different frequency out into the Universe. The Universe must de-
liver the pictures of the new frequency no matter how impossible
the situation might seem. Robert's new thoughts became his new
frequency, and the pictures of his entire life changed. Your life is in your hands. No matter where you are now, no mat-
ter what has happened in your life, you can begin to consciously
choose your thoughts, and you can change your life. There is no
such thing as a hopeless situation. Every single circumstance of
your life can change! MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
You attract to you the predominant thoughts that you're
holding in your awareness, whether those thoughts are
conscious or unconscious. That's the rub. Whether you have been aware of your thoughts in the past or not,
now you are becoming aware. Right now, with the knowledge of
The Secret, you are waking up from a deep sleep and becoming
aware! Aware of the knowledge, aware of the law, aware of the
power you have through your thoughts. 20 The Secret

You can see the law of attraction everywhere. You draw
everything to yourself. The people, the job, the circumstances, the
health, the wealth, the debt, the joy, the car that you drive, the
community that you're in. And you've drawn them all to you,
like a magnet. What you think about you bring about Your whole
life is a manifestation of the thoughts that go on in your head. This is a Universe of inclusion, not exclusion. Nothing is excluded
from the law of attraction. Your life is a mirror of the dominant
thoughts you think. All living things on this planet operate through
the law of attraction. The difference with humans is that they have
a mind that can discern. They can use their free will to choose their
thoughts. They have the power to intentionally think and create
their entire life with their mind. DR. FRED ALAN WOLF

Quantum physics really begins to point to this discovery. It
says that you can't have a Universe without mind entering
into it, and that the mind is actually shaping the very thing
that is being perceived. If you think about the analogy of being the most powerful trans-
mission tower in the Universe, you will see the perfect correlation
with Dr. Wolf's words. Your mind thinks thoughts and the pictures
are broadcast back as your life experience. You not only create your
life with your thoughts, but your thoughts add powerfully to the
creation of the world, If you thought that you were insignificant
and had no power in this world, think again. Your mind is actually
shaping the world around you. The amazing work and discoveries of the quantum physicists
over the last eighty years has brought us to a greater understand-
ing of the unfathomable power of the human mind to create. Their work parallels the words of the world's great minds, in-
cluding Carnegie, Emerson, Shakespeare, Bacon, Krishnamurti,
and Buddha. BOB PROCTOR
If you don't understand the law that doesn't mean you should

MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
Oftentimes when people begin to understand the Great Secret,
they become frightened of all the negative thoughts that they
have. They need to be aware that it has been scientifically
proven that an affirmative thought is hundreds of times more
powerful than a negative thought. That eliminates a degree of
worry right there. It really does take many negative thoughts and persistent negative
thinking to bring something negative into your life. However, if
you persist in thinking negative thoughts over a period of time,
they will appear in your life. If you worry about having negative
thoughts, you will attract more worrying about your negative
thoughts, and multiply them at the same time. Decide right now
that you are going to think only good thoughts. At the same time,
proclaim to the Universe that all your good thoughts are powerful,
and that any negative thoughts are weak. LISA NICHOLS
Thank God that there's a time delay, that all of your
thoughts don't come true instantly. We'd be in trouble if
they did. The element of time delay serves you. It allows
you to reassess, to think about what you want, and to make
a new choice. All of your power to create your life is available right now, because
right now is when you are thinking. If you have had some thoughts
that will not be beneficial when they manifest, then right now you
can change your thinking. You can erase your previous thoughts by The Secret Revealed 23
One way to master your mind is to learn to quiet your mind. With-

 then the sad story of how these new
settlers were breaking down as rapidly as the former occupants. The lower photograph in Fig. 7 is of a family of four children in whose faces the tragic story is
deeply written. Everyone is a mouth breather and everyone has rampant tooth decay. These
people are products of modernization on this island which one time produced vigorous children
and stalwart men and women. It is important to compare the faces of the children of the Isle of
Bardsey shown in Fig. 7 below with those shown in Fig. 7 above living in an isolated district in the
Isle of Harris. As we will see later, the facial deformity does not reach its maximum severity until
the eruption of the second dentition and the development of the adult face, usually at from nine to
fourteen years of age. In cases of extreme injury, however, we find it appearing in the childhood
face during the period of temporary or deciduous dentition. These children will, doubtless, be
much more seriously deformed when their permanent dentitions and adult faces develop. It is
important for us to keep this picture in mind in its relation to the high incidence of tuberculosis as
we read succeeding chapters and find the part played by modernization in breaking down the
defense of individuals to infective processes including tuberculosis. In Fig. 6 (lower left) is a young girl from the Isle of Bardsey. She is about seventeen years of
age. Her teeth were wrecked with dental caries, the disease involving even the front teeth. We ate
a meal at the home in which she was living. It consisted of white bread, butter and jam, all
imported to the island. This is in striking contrast with the picture of the girl shown in Fig. 6 (lower
right) living in the Isle of Lewis, in the central area. She has splendidly formed dental arches and a
high immunity to tooth decay. Her diet and that of her parents was oatmeal porridge and oatcake
and fish which built stalwart people. The change in the two generations was illustrated by a little girl
and her grandfather on the Isle of Skye. He was the product of the old régime, and about eighty
years of age. He was carrying the harvest from the fields on his back when I stopped him to take
his picture. He was typical of the stalwart product raised on the native foods. His granddaughter
had pinched nostrils and narrowed face. Her dental arches were deformed and her teeth crowded. She was a mouth breather. She had the typical expression of the result of modernization after the
parents had adopted the modern foods of commerce, and abandoned the oatcake, oatmeal
porridge and sea foods.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

amounts of smoke-thatch. Only the first produced mature grain. This is in accord
with the belief and practice of the native Gaelics. Since a fundamental part of this study involves an examination of the accumulated wisdom of the
primitive racial stocks, it is important that we look further into the matter of the smoked thatch. I
was advised by the old residents that a serious conflict existed between them and the health
officials who came from outside to their island. The latter blamed the smoke for the sudden
development of tuberculosis in acute form, and they insisted that the old procedure be entirely
discontinued. For this purpose the government gave very substantial assistance in the building of
new and modern homes. The experienced natives contended that the oat crop would not mature in
that severe climate without being fertilized with the smoked thatch. While they were willing to move
into the new house, they were not willing to give up the smoking of the oat straw used for the
thatch to prepare it for fertilizing the ground. I brought some of this smoked thatch with me both
for chemical analysis and for testing for the influence on plant growth. This was done by adding
different quantities of the smoked thatch to a series of pots in which oat seeds were planted. In
Fig. 8 will be seen the result. The pot to the right shows the result of planting the oats in a sandy
soil almost like that of the Islands of the Outer Hebrides. The oats only grew to the fuzzy limited
condition shown. As increasing amounts of this thatch were added to the soil, there was an
increase in the ruggedness of the plants so that in the last pot to the left tall stalks were developed
heavily loaded with grain which ripened by the time the growth shown in the other pots had
occurred. The chemical analysis of the thatch showed that it contained a quantity of fixed nitrogen
and other chemicals resulting from the peat smoke circulating through the thatch. This explains the
confidence of the hardy old natives who insisted on being permitted to continue the smoking of the
thatch even though they did not live in the house. A dietary program competent to build stalwart men and women and rugged boys and girls is
provided the residents of these barren Islands, with their wind and storm-swept coasts, by a diet
of oats used as oatcake and oatmeal porridge; together with fish products, including some fish
organs and eggs. A seriously degenerated stock followed the displacement of this diet with a
typical modern diet consisting of white bread, sugar, jams, syrup, chocolate, coffee, some fish
without livers, canned vegetables, and eggs. 7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

ISOLATED AND MODERNIZED ESKIMOS
DURING the rise and fall of historic and prehistoric cultures that have often left their monuments
and arts following each other in succession in the same location, one culture, the Eskimo, living on
until today, brings us a robust sample of the Stone Age people. The Maya race is gone, but has left
its monuments. The Indian race is rapidly changing or disappearing in North America. The Eskimo
race has remained true to ancestral type to give us a living demonstration of what Nature can do in
the building of a race competent to withstand for thousands of years the rigors of an Arctic climate. Like the Indian, the Eskimo thrived as long as he was not blighted by the touch of modern
civilization, but with it, like all primitives, he withers and dies. In his primitive state he has provided an example of physical excellence and dental perfection
such as has seldom been excelled by any race in the past or present. We are concerned to know
the secret of this great achievement since his circumscribed life greatly reduces the factors that may
enter as controlling units in molding this excellence. While we are primarily concerned in this study
with the characteristics of the Eskimo dentition and facial form and the effect upon it of his contact
with modern civilization, we are also deeply concerned to know the formula of his nutrition in order
that we may learn from it the secrets that will not only aid the unfortunate modern or so-called
civilized races, but will also, if possible, provide means for assisting in their preservation. It is a sad commentary that with the coming of the white man the Eskimos and Indians are
rapidly reduced both in numbers and physical excellence by the white man's diseases. We have
few problems more urgent or more challenging than that means shall soon be found for preventing
the extermination of the primitive Americans. Many reports have been made with regard to the
condition of the teeth of the


 development, the two events
do not occur in the same cell simultaneou sly. Each cell takes
part in the generalized mitosis of a group of cells-probably
fibroblas ts-for a period of time, after which, with other cells, it
undergoes a period of differen tiation. As growth proceeds, new
cells go into mitosis and then into differentiation adding thereby
to the new structure. There are no known methods for differenti
ating these two processes except by microscopic examination. The elcctro-metric technique offers the possibility of discriminat
ing between the two. 2
It seemed advisable, therefore, to investiga te the nature of
bioelectric phenomena in wound healing and to discover any
possible relationship between bioelectrics and tensile strength and
also between bioelectrics and growth or differen tiation. The experimental animals used for the laboratory were guinea
pigs, one group of which were fed a controlled diet. Another
group were fed a form of laboratory diet. In both sets of studies
an area of skin was bared and measurem ents taken between the
cephalic end of the bare area, and another at the caudal end of
the area. Wherever incision was to be made between the two, a
control point was taken. After the preliminary measurements were mad,:, the skin and
subcutaneous fascia were incised and suturerJ, following which
another set of examinations were made. These were continued
daily for the next two weeks or until the wound was healed. In
some in��ances, the healing was so complete as to make it difficult
to determine the site of the wound. 82 THE FIEL D AS A SIGNPOST
The data showed a marked change of potential gradient be
tween the normal skin and the area of injury. Perhaps the most
astonishing finding was that the site of injury was not consist
ently negative to the normal tissue, as would be expected by the
theory of injury potentiaL On the contrary, for the first twenty
four or twenty-eight hours after the injury, the wound area was
positive to the cephalic point in the normal skin. The potential
gradient between these two points tended to rise for twenty-four
or twenty-ei ght hours and then rapidly to decline until the third
or fourth day when the wound became negative to the normal
skin. This negativity increased until the maximum was reached
on the eighth or ninth day. Following this, and lasting for
twenty-four to forty-eigh t hours, the potential gradient dropped,
to be followed on the tenth or twelfth day by another rise in
potential. This was repeated on the twelfth and fourteenth day. On the fifteenth or sixteenth day the gradients returned to
approxima tely normal limits. The comparison of the curves obtained by Harvey and Taffel
shows an interesting parallelism. The tensile strength measure
ments show a rapidly rising curve during the first eight days. The
bioelectric measurements show a similar change. After the eighth
day, the tensile strength seems to approach a plateau. The bio
electric determinations show alternating growth and differentia
tion after the eighth day. While examinations show rather slow
changes in the potential gradients, nevertheless, they are statistic
ally reliable. In order to investigate this matter further, a second series of
animals was studied under somewh at different conditions. Thirty
guinea pigs from the laboratory stock were taken, ten of which
were placed on a controlled laboratory diet. It is to be noted that
this diet was differen t from that of the first series. These animals
received an incision on the right flank as described, and were
read daily. The rise and fall of potential differences during this period
would seem to be correlated with the growth of fibroblasts. Then
followed a period of differentiation represent ed by a clear-cut
increase in potential differences. However, once started, the alternation of growth and differ-

entiation was strikingly parallel in both groups of animals. TV. Tcnty of the animals were put on a vitamin C deficien t diet
ten with no wounds in the skin and ten with wounds. The poten
tial gradients in the operated and unoperat ed scorbutic animals,
ana in the norrnals on a controlled diet, showed interesting
parallelisms. In the case of unopera ted scorbutics a reasonably constant
baseline appeared through the period of the experiment. The
operated scorbutics, however, showed changes in the potential
differences which closely paralleled the normal animals, save that
the magnitude of the potential difference was less. In addition,
they showed the same delay in the onset of potential rise as was
seen in the operated animals on the normal diet. These observa
tions indicated that it is possible to measure with some certainty
bioelectric concomitant s of growth and differentiation in the heal
ing of wounds in the guinea pig. They suggested that the growth
process is not a continuous one, except in the early stages, but
rather that, after the eighth day, it alternates with periods of
differentiation. Bioelectric correlates of growth in the animals on
a control diet seem to rise faster and reach a greater magnitude
than in the case of the scorbutic animals. 3
In cooperation with the above-mentioned surgeons, a further
experiment was made on wound healing in the human. Some
twenty-five instances of operative procedures, with uncompli
cated healing of the wounds, were selected for study. All these
healed without any evidence of infection. Determinat ions of the
potential gradient between two points-one in the immediate
vicinity of the wound, and another at some distance from it
were made daily, beginning on the day following the operation
and continuing until the patient was discharged from the hos
pital, usually after fourteen days. In each observa tion, sufficient
readings were taken to insure valid measurements. It was at once apparent that there was, on the whole, a
definite trend. Comparison of individual cases revealed in many
84 THE FIELD AS A SIGNP OST
instances wide discrepancies. Such variations have been found
to be consistently present in animals studied by the tensile
strength method. Similar variations were particularly character
istic of electro-metric technique and therefore many detennina
tiOIlS are necessary. The results show that there is a phase of positive potential of
some four days' duration corresponding to the so-called lag in
the tensile strength method. This same phenomenon was ob
served in the guinea pigs and also in mice as an accompaniment
of a carcinogenic irritation. Following this, the wound passes into
a proliferated phase during which a negative potential is en
countered which reaches its height between the seventh and
ninth days. Here the maximum negative voltage is reached at
approxima tely the same time as the maximum tensile strength. The increasing negativity suggests an homology with the rising
negativity observed in other animals and in cancer. At the end of the tenth day the wound is usually healed and
from then to the end of the determinations the voltage gradient s
gradually fall to the normal base-line. These observations of
electro-metric studies of the healing wound in man parallel those
made in experimental animals and give weight to the concept that
the process of healing in man is a phenomenon of growth. 4
Since these wound healing experiments on man seem to indi
("ate a modification of the normal picture after surgery, it be
hooved us to find out what went on from day to day in normal
human beings with a reasonably normal existence. To this end, a
group of ten medical students were found to agree to do the
necessary examination to see what happened in the ordinary
day-to-day existence of such apparently normal subjects. These were studied for a considerable period of time and it was
found, in general, that the students could be separated into three
groups as was mentioned in Chapter 3 : one, a group that showed
consistently high potential differences between the index fingers
of the two hands, another with a low potential difference, and a
85 THE FIELD AS A SIGNP OST
third, an intermediate point. There was, however, one particular student in the group who
consistently showed a higher potential difference than all the
rest of the subjects. On investigation, it was found that this boy
had a history of emotional instability and. at the time he was
admitted, was admitted as an experiment. Before the end of the
year, however, the boy became definitely psychotic and had to
be remanded to an institution. These findings suggested at once that deviations from a normal
behaviour, such as might appear in a psychotic, were worth in
vestigating further. With the cooperation of the late Dr. Eugen
Kahn in the Department of Psychiatry, a number of patients
who had been studied carefully by the psychiatric staff-were
selected and measuremen ts made on them daily for a considerable
period of time. The psychiatrists were asked to divide the patients into three
groups-obvious deviates from normal behaviour, those that were
reasonably normal, and an intermediate group. The electro-metric
experiments were carried out in the services of the psychiatric
hospital without the electro-metric investigator knowing any
thing about the status of the individual. At the conclusion of the electro-m etrics the patients were
divided into three groups; those with markedly changed electro


, Asians and mixed races have a much lower incidence of cancer
than the Aryan race. Other races have cancer of course, but in proportion to the pancreatic damage
from malnutrition, viruses or infection. In addition, the percentage of cancer within
the other races can be correlated to the percentage of white blood mixed in the
individual's gene pool. Cancer Recovery
All persons who have cancer die of starvation, unless they are first killed (usually
by their physician). In attempting to find help and in helping others, one must
comprehend these four basic parameters:
1) The stricken cancer victim and their family members have been so deceived by the
Establishment, that they are completely brainwashed and put in extreme fear. 48
Winning The Cancer War
2) Another parameter we often forget is that once a cancer victim or family member
has awakened from this imprisoned condition, they trust no one. All too often the
mindset of the cancer victim is to demand an immediate, noticeable, positive,
measurable response. When this is not forthcoming, they usually flip (and flounder) in
numerous forms of therapies that are claimed by their promoters as "The Cure." Most of the individuals who at last turn to my Metabolic Medicine's Cancer
Program are disillusioned, without hope, and have limited funding for recovery. Such
persons must have at least six months of life and follow the Metabolic Program most
carefully. Then, if they survive this six-month time period, there is a chance of
recovery. This recovery period is a long and tedious one, usually lasting at least 2
years. After that, they must take a form of metabolic support for the rest of their lives. 3) Most of these individuals expect and demand immediate results or they go on to
other therapies. This is not the way one recovers from cancer, because it is not the
way they developed cancer. Cancer requires the failure of the pancreas over the
course of two to eleven years to develop a Malignant Tumor Mass, which the medical
community in error calls "Cancer." Consequently, it requires at least the same length
of time to clean up a ravaged body. Only then does the process of rebuilding the
body take place, which usually takes an additional two to four years of hard work and
living right. Then, for the rest of one's life, one must keep a constant vigil to remain
free of malignant tumor masses. 4) One must realize that physicians are forbidden to treat cancer. Our common
enemy controlling the Medical Establishment has several methods and techniques to
prohibit a physician from treating cancer. Cancer is a "Process"... not an "Object"
Everyone produces malignant tumor cells on a daily basis. At the same time, the
pancreas produces adequate pancreatin to digest the food you eat, as well as
malignant tumor cells. It is when one's pancreas fails to produce the necessary
pancreatin to accomplish both of these tasks that a "Disease Process" takes place,
which we correctly call cancer. When this disease process occurs, you are not aware of it, as it is so subtle it must
progress for 2 to 4 years before you or your physician realizes you are in trouble. The
objective of my Program is to supply the body with adequate pancreatin to properly
digest food, stop the disease process, and rid the body of any and all malignant tumor
masses. This is the proper, normal, physiological method of taking care of the disease
process called CANCER. Upon starting my Program, two measurable things occur: 1) White blood cells
49

increase in number, which is considered by everyone to be a good sign. 2) Cancer
Markers become temporarily elevated, which often scares both the cancer victim and
his or her doctor. I  consider elevated Cancer Markers to be a good sign. Cancer
markers become temporarily elevated and malignant tumor masses continue to grow
temporarily
Pancreatin digests the Malignant Tumor Masses and Cells into liquid debris. This
debris is then gobbled up by your white blood cells and removed from your body by
way of bile from the liver, which goes into the colon and out, and urine from the
kidneys, which goes into the bladder and out. A small amount of this debris leaves
the body by way of skin perspiration as well as hair and nail growth. Upon starting Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program two measurable things
occur:
1. White blood cells increase in number, which is considered by everyone to be a
good sign. 2. Cancer Markers become temporarily elevated, which often scares both the Cancer
Victim and his or her doctor. Dr. Kelley considers elevated Cancer Markers to be
a good sign for the following reason:
The Malignant Tumor Mass debris consists, in part, of Cancer Marker components. Until now most of this Cancer Marker material has been held in the tissue
surrounding the Malignant Tumor Mass and usually increases when Malignant Tumor
Masses continue to develop. Upon starting Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure
Program the Cancer Markers are released into the bloodstream as the Masses are
digested. This causes a high volume of Cancer Marker material to appear in the
bloodstream temporarily and is the most misinterpreted part of the Metabolic
Medicine's Cancer Cure Program. The second most misinterpreted part is that often
the Malignant Tumor Masses continue to grow temporarily before one's normal
metabolic function can take over. Why You'll Feel Bad During Recovery
When the organs of detoxification become overloaded with debris, one feels as if
you were run over by a freight train. This lousy feeling is how you know that my
program is working. If you do not feel bad, one of three things is happening:
1. You are not taking enough pancreatin of the correct quality or quantity. 2. You have a very small amount of malignant tumor cells and/or masses. 50
Winning The Cancer War
3. You have enzyme inhibitors (blockers) obstructing pancreatic activity. I  expect all cancer victims taking pancreatin to feel toxic (sore, headaches, no
energy, nauseous, irritable, elevated temperature, flu-like symptoms, etc.). When this
occurs it indicates one's metabolic functions are working well. At this time, I
recommend that you stop taking the metabolic nutrients for five days to allow the
organs that are detoxing to remove this debris from your body. Many cancer victims have only a small malignant tumor mass and experience only
mild discomfort. Others have very large malignant tumor masses like Steve
McQueen's. If your physician can surgically de-bulk or remove most of these masses,
you often do not become toxic, and your recovery time speeds up. D O  N O T  THINK YOU ARE CANCER FREE! Reactions while on the Kelley Program
On occasion, we have found that an area of a malignant tumor mass becomes
tender and swells. This could be a very good sign. As one's body cleans up the
various debris and digested cells it is like hitting your finger with a hammer and
tenderness, pain and swelling occur. It can be very frightening to those who
experience a tingling or "electrical shock" sensation. This is usually caused by
pressure on nerves from malignant tumor growth. But often, it also occurs when the
swelling from clean-up is taking place within the body. Therefore, it could be a good
or bad sign, but one should consider the good possibility of clean-up activity. Once or twice after some months on our Metabolic Program, a family member has
called me and said "your program didn't work" Bob/Mary died. When questioned,
the individual had not been on the program for the last four to six months. Another
time a call came in saying the individual had died, only to find out she was killed
instantly in a head-on auto accident. Others have died from gunshot wounds while
dear hunting, others from heart attacks. Of course this is not a "Metabolic failure." Ascites, Cachexia, Fluid Cysts and Diarrhea
Ascites is a collection of fluid in the abdomen, chest, or legs. If the patient with
Ascites has been diagnosed with cancer, the physician calls hospice and writes
multiple refill prescriptions of strong narcotics. Cachexia in cancer usually implies terminal illness where the body cannibalizes
itself. The liver converts the body protein tissues into glucose which metabolically
supports the cancer (placenta) until death occurs. 51
Winning The Cancer War
Fluid Cysts is a fluid collection in epithelia sacks containing proteins, electrolytes,
minerals, etc. Diarrhea - in cancer. When standard treatment fails I  have found that the patient's
body uses diarrhea to remove years of toxic substances so that repair and rebuilding
can take place. Ascites Update

flying on an airplane on a regular basis has its hazards and she was exposed to all
