using toxins
away from cells in the colon, while the
folate, vitamin C and beta-carotene also
have anti-inflammatory properties that
make them helpful in combating conditions
like asthma, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid
arthritis.
The magnesium in courgettes has been
shown to be helpful for reducing the risk
of heart attack and stroke. Together with
the potassium in courgettes, magnesium is
also helpful in reducing high blood
pressure. The vitamin C and beta-carotenecan help to prevent the oxidation of
cholesterol and the vitamin folate found in
courgettes is needed by the body to break
down a dangerous metabolic by-product
called homocysteine, which can contribute
to heart attack and stroke if levels get too
high.
Courgettes have been found to have anti-
cancer type effects. Although phytonutrient
research on courgettes is limited, some
lab studies have shown vegetable juices
obtained from courgettes to be equivalent
to juices made from leeks, and pumpkin in
their ability to prevent cell mutations.
CucumbersEven though fresh cucumbers are mostly
composed of water, they are packed full
with nutrition. Cucumber flesh is a very
good source of vitamins A and C and folic
acid. The skin is rich in fibre and a variety
of minerals including magnesium,
molybdenum and potassium.
Cucumber skin is also an excellent source
of silica, which is a trace mineral that
contributes to the strength of our
connective tissue, which is what holds our
body together. Cucumbers are effective
when used for various skin problems,
including swelling under the eyes and
sunburn. They also contain ascorbic and
caffeic acids, which prevent water
retention. That may explain why, whencucumbers are applied topically, they are
often helpful for swollen eyes, burns and
dermatitis.
Cucumbers’ nutritional benefits include
natural salts, enzymes and vitamins
essential for strong cell growth and repair.
In addition, the high mineral content and
minerals in the skin offer a natural source
for a fresh, powerful antioxidant. The
cucumber is also a top choice as a
diuretic. It can help control constipation,
stomach disorders, arthritis, cholera and
acne. The high water content, combined
with its ability to balance acid, helps to
reduce disorders and ailments that may be
a cause of overproduction of various
acidic compounds.Dark Chocolate
Chocolate is made from plants, which
means it contains many of the health
benefits of dark vegetables. These benefits
are from flavonoids, which act as
antioxidants. Dark chocolate (more than
70% cocoa) contains a large number of
antioxidants (nearly eight times the amount
found in strawberries). Flavonoids also
help relax blood pressure through the
production of nitric oxide and balance
certain hormones in the body. Dark
chocolate is good for your heart. A small
bar every day can help keep your heart
and cardiovascular system running well,
reduce blood pressure and LDLcholesterol by up to 10 percent.
A research study published by Joe A.
Vinson of the University of Scranton,
Pennsylvania, found that the flavonoids in
dark chocolate are more powerful than
vitamins such as ascorbic acid in
protecting circulating lipids from
oxidation in the blood stream and clogging
the arteries. They also make blood
platelets less likely to stick together and
cause clots. Flavonoids are plant
compounds with potent antioxidant
properties; so far scientists have found
more than 4,000 types. Cocoa beans
contain large quantities of flavonoids, as
do red wine, tea and cranberries.The type of flavonoids found in chocolate
are called flavonols. Generally, science
has found that dark chocolate is higher in
flavonoids than milk chocolate, as the way
that cocoa powder and chocolate syrups
are manufactured removes most
flavonoids.
Fish
Although no single food alone can make a
person healthy, eating more seafood is one
way that most of us can help improve our
diets and our health. Many of the studies
about beneficial omega-3 fatty acids focus
on fish as the primary source. Wild
salmon, sardines, tuna and even shellfishare rich in omega-3 fatty acids and eating
more of all types of fish and seafood is
recommended.
The health benefits of fish oil include its
ability to contribute to the prevention of
heart disease, high cholesterol,
depression, anxiety, cancer, diabetes,
inflammation, etc. Most of the health
benefits can be attributed to the presence
of omega-3 essential fatty acids such as
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Other
useful essential fatty acids include alpha-
linolenic acid (ALA) and gamma-
linolenic acid (GLA).
The various types of fish which can be agood source of fish oil are mackerel,
rainbow trout, lake trout, halibut, herring,
sea bass, sardines, swordfish, oysters,
albacore tuna, blue fin tuna, yellow fin
tuna, turbot, pilchards, anchovies and wild
salmon. The most common among these
for obtaining fish oil are albacore tuna,
herring, mackerel, sardines, lake trout and
wild salmon.
Hundreds of studies have been done on
fish or fish oils and their role in the
prevention or treatment of heart disease. A
review in the
British Medical Journal
recommends fish or fish oil supplements
to prevent heart attacks, particularly in
people with vascular disease. How
omega-3 fat reduces heart disease is notknown, but they are known to lower blood
triglycerides and blood pressure, prevent
clotting, they are anti-inflammatory and
reduce abnormal heart rhythms.
Flaxseed
Consuming flaxseed is associated with a
reduction in total cholesterol, including
the LDL (‘bad’) cholesterol and
triglycerides. Study after study has shown
a positive response to eating ground
flaxseed daily. Eating low fat foods,
increasing exercise, limiting salt and
sugar, and eating flaxseed daily are a few
ways that you can win the battle against
high cholesterol.Flaxseed is high in lignans, up to 800
times the amount found in any other tested
plant food. Lignans, a phytoestrogen, have
been called by H. Adlercreutz (in his
article ‘Phytoestrogens: Epidemology and
a Possible Role in Cancer Prevention’)
natural cancer-protective compounds.
Flaxseed is also high in alpha-linolenic
acid (ALA), which has been found to be a
promising cancer fighting agent. The
American National Cancer Institute has
singled out flaxseed as one of six foods
that deserve special study. Flaxseed’s
high fibre aspect is also beneficial in the
fight against colon cancer.
Epidemiological studies note that diet
plays a major role in the incidence of
colon cancer. Research has shown thatincreasing the amount of fibre in your diet
reduces breast and colon cancer risk. It is
thought that lignan metabolites can bind to
oestrogen receptors, thereby inhibiting the
onset of oestrogen-stimulated breast
cancer.
Goji Berries
Goji berries are rich in antioxidants,
particularly carotenoids such as beta-
carotene and zeaxanthin. Exposure to
chemicals, pollutants and free radicals can
cause DNA damage and breakage, leading
to genetic mutations, cancer, etc. Gojis’
betaine and master molecule
polysaccharides can restore and repairdamaged DNA.
Goji were shown to enhance the effect of
radiation in combating lung cancer,
allowing a lower dose to be used. Other
research indicates that goji can protect
against some of the nauseous side effects
of chemotherapy and radiation. It was also
found that goji can reduce the time it takes
for vision to adapt to darkness. The
carotenoids in goji may protect against
macular degeneration and cataracts.
Some scientists believe that goji may be
an especially good supplement to prevent
liver cancer because it provides
protection against liver damage and anti-
cancer effects at the same time. Goji isbelieved to have the potential to diminish
tumour cells by inducing apoptosis, a
process in which cancer cells are broken
down and recycled.
Goji is considered to be ‘brain tonic’
because of its betaine content, which is
converted in the body into choline. These
are substances that enhance memory and
recall ability. Goji can help to strengthen
your immune system and heart, help
support normal kidney and liver function,
maintain a healthy cholesterol level,
normalize blood pressure, prevent and
control diabetes. It can also help to
strengthen the muscles and bones, maintain
healthy gums, improve your digestion, and
help you get a good night’s sleep. Whoknew that a tiny fruit could pack so many
benefits?
Green Peas
Green peas provide high amounts of
vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre and
protein. They are a very good source of
vitamin K, some of which our bodies
convert into K2, which activates

What di f ferentiates Dr. Hang from many traditional orthodon tists is that
when he considers the alignmen t of the teeth, he also gives atte ntion to the
resultant ef fect on the jaws, the  width of the face, and size of airways. In
fact, I have yet to meet an individual with such a fascination for airway
size.
While we need to be ef ficient with our use of oxygen, it is also
imperative that the size of our airways enables air to flow freely to and from
the lungs. If children or teenage rs spend five or ten years with their mouths
hanging open, their faces will become narrow, their jaws will not develop
correctly, and their airway sizes will be reduced. Nasal breathin g during the
formative years is absolutely es sential to help ensure correct development
of th e face, jaws, and airways. In chapter 13, we will look mor e closely at
the role breathin g plays in the development of the face and the need for
orthodontic treatment.
I first met Dr. H ang in 2009, when we were both scheduled t o give a
talk to a study group of myofunctional therapists. As it turned out, we had
the s ame aim in  mind: to explor e how breathing and resting ton gue posture
af fects sleep, sports, and health. I spoke about the benefits of nasal
breathing, while  Dr. Hang spoke about airway size and the benefits of
having a good fa cial structure for sports performance. When the  airways are
too narr ow, our ability to perfo rm physical exercise is hampered. Imagine
completing a marathon while b reathing through airways the size of a very
narrow straw— no matter how well trained you are, how fit, how
determined, if your airways are  constricted you will not be able to take in
enough air to properly oxygenate your body.
That day Dr. Ha ng told me that he had been running for forty-tw o years
and had  completed nineteen marathons with his “mouth open like a dog.”
Following our meeting, he cha nged to breathing through his nose during
training and taped his mouth closed every night to ensure nasal breathing
while he  slept. Initially he found that his nose would run consta ntly during
exercise, requiring him to blow his nose every few hundred yards. This is a
common experi ence for most people adjusting to nasal breathing as the
airways clear and breathing volume increases, but it is a minorinconvenience that will clear up within a few weeks. Like any or gan or
muscle, the nose needs to get used to being used more during sports.
Six months later, Bill completed the Pasadena Marathon and finished
second i n his age group. Not on ly this, but he kept his lips tog ether every
step of the way  except during a  couple of long hills when he allowed his
mouth to  drop open occasionall y. No mean feat for a sixty-year -old! Now,
each Sun day, he  completes a two -hour run and continues to nasa l breathe in
order to maintain and ideally improve his fitness. T wenty minu tes into his
run, when he is good and warm, he is able to get up to a good speed while
retaining a slow, regular breathing pattern—much improved from his
previous method of panting through the mouth, expending maximum
ener gy as he ran.
T rain Y our Body to Do Mor e with Less
T o r eap the most benefit from your physical training, you need t o train your
body to do mor e with less. T o  do this, you will need to reduce your air
intake. Incorpor ating this concept into your training will result in improved
breathing econo my and an increase in your athletic performance, along with
reduced breathlessness and lactic acid during competition. More important,
you will not nee d to push your body beyond its limits, reducing your risk of
injury, cardiovascular and respiratory problems, and other health concerns.
Nasal breathing during physical training ensures that you do not push
yourself beyond what your body is capable of doing.
During physical exercise, there are three ways to reduce air intake:
1.    Relax your body and take less air into your lungs.
2.    Increase exercise intensity while nasal breathing.
3.    Practice breath holding during exercise.
When yo u first switch to nasal b reathing you may find that you r ability
to train at maximum pace is imp eded. Breathing through the nostrils creates
resistance and adds an extra load  that is likely to slow your performance for
the first  few weeks. However, with continued practice and by increasingyour BO L T score you will so on find that your performance surpasses
previous levels.
Competitive athletes who regularly take part in high-intensity training
will need to alte rnate nasal breathing with mouth breathing fo r an overall
improvement to breathing patterns. High-intensity training helps to prevent
muscle decondi tioning and will require an athlete to periodic ally breathe
through his or h er mouth. This is to be expected and can be combined with
nasal br eathing to attain the best results. For less-than-maximum intensity
training, and at all other times,  nasal breathing should be employed. For
example, compe titive athletes may spend 70 percent of their tr aining with
the mou th close d, harnessing the benefits of nasal breathing and adding an
extra loa d to their training to increase BOL T score. They may a lso devote a
smaller portion of training to wo rking at an all-out pace in order to maintain
muscle conditio n, for which brief periods of mouth breathing will be
required.
During c ompetition there is no n eed to intentionally take bigger breaths,
nor is there a requirement to breathe less. Instead, bring a feeling of
relaxation to your body and breathe as you feel necessary. However, breath-
holding exercise s during your warm-up can be very advantageous, as can
practicing breathing recovery during your cooldown. Competition isn’ t the
ideal tim e to focus on how wel l or how poorly you are breathing, as your
full conc entration should be devoted to the game or race. The best way to
improve breathing for competition is to improve your everyday breathing,
and the key to this is obtaining a higher BOL T score.
Recreational athletes who are not taking part in competition or high-
intensity exercis e, however, are far better of f maintaining nasal breathing at
all times. While reducing your breathing during physical exercise, try not to
overdo i t. If you find that your n eed for air is so great that you need to open
your mo uth, simply slow down and allow your breathing to calm once
more.
Unveiling the W arm-Up
The vast majority of sports coaches are in agreement that w arming up
before exercise is vitally impo rtant. During physical exercis e the bodyrequires greater blood flow to tissues and muscles than durin g rest. The
objective of a warm-up is to increase blood flow and prepare t he body for
more intense physical exercise, thus reducing the incidence of sports-related
injuries and improving overall performance.
It takes time for the body to w arm up, but when it does, your body is
able to function  more ef fectively during exercise. When your body is
warmed up prior to exercise, the following benefits can be maximized:
•   The productio n of more carbo n dioxide—improving the release
of oxygen from the blood to tissues and or gans—increasing
VO 2  max, improving endurance, and reducing the risk of
injury
•   The o pening o f blood vessels and airways—allowing for bett er
blood flow and easy breathing
In practice, however, many athletes do not warm up suf ficiently. Many
spend, at most, 2 to 3 minutes  warming up by doing a light jog before
intensifying their exercise. This is simply a case of going too fast, too soon.
Aisling plays soccer for one of the better amateur football teams in
Ireland. She has reached a high  level of fitness and is a newc omer to the
Oxygen Advantage exercises. D espite her excellent fitness, she often finds
that she feels qu ite breathless during the first 10 to 20 minutes of a game,
while at the end of the game she feels as if she could go on playing forever.
This is a common complaint within the world of sport, and usually comes
down to  a lack of warm-up. T he best way to avoid early breathlessness
during e xercise is to increase your BOL T score and spend more time
warming up with nasal breathing.
For people like Aisling, who find it hard to get going when they
exercise, at least 10 minutes sh ould be spent warming up befo re physical
activity, especially during cold weather, as it can take the body up to 30
minutes to function at its best. In  order to devote all your ener gy to a game,
your bod y should reach peak form early on rather than somewhere during
the second half. By skipping an adequate warm-up—either through
impatience or because you believe it’ s not necessary—you are cheating


they have been following a typical American diet.
If the chronically ill had been following a vegetarian diet, perhaps a diet
including with eggs and dairy, if they had been using no addicting substances, thenone month on raw foods is sufficient preparation for fasting. If the person hadwater or juice fasted for at least a week or two within the last two years, and
followed a healthy diet since that time, one or two weeks on raw foods should be
a sufficient runway.
During preparation for a fast, I never recommend that a chronically ill person
quit taking prescription medicines because doing so can seriously disrupt theirhomeostasis. However, if their symptoms lessen or vanish during the pre-fastingclean up, the person might try tapering off medications.
The length and type of fast chosen to resolve a chronic illness depends largely
on available time, finances, availability of support people, work responsibilities,and mental toughness. If you are one of those fortunate people rich enough to givetheir health first priority, long water fasting is ideal. If on the other hand you can’tafford to stop working, have no one to take care of you and assist with somehousehold chores, and/or you are not mentally tough enough to deal with self-denial, compromise is necessary.
Ideally the chronically ill person would fast for an extended period under
supervision until their symptoms were gone or greatly improved, with a fall-backplan to repeat the whole process again in three to six months if necessary. If youare not able to do that, the next best program is to fast for a short period, like oneor two weeks, with a plan to repeat the process as often as possible until you arehealed.
I have had clients with potentially life-threatening conditions such as obesity
with incipient heart failure, or who came to me with cancer, that were unable tostop work for financial reasons, or who could not afford a residential fastingprogram, or who felt confident in their own ability to deal with detoxification intheir own home. These people have fasted successfully at home, coming to seeme once a week. Almost inevitably, successful at-home fasters had already donea lot of research on self healing, believed in it, and had the personal discipline tocarry it out properly, including breaking the fast properly without overeating.

Fruits should be watery and lower in sugar. Some examples of poor fruit
choices would be pineapple, ripe mango, bananas, dates, raisins, figs. Fruitsshould not be combined with vegetables.
Vegetables should not be starchy, packed-full of energy. Poor vegetable
choices would be potato, parsnip, turnip, corn, sweet potato, yam, beet, wintersquash. Sprouts and baby greens are vegetables and may be included in salads.
Juices should not be extremely sweet. Apple, orange, beet and carrot juice
should be diluted with 50% water. Fruit juices should not be mixed with vegetablejuices or with vegetables at the same meal.
Salads should include no fruit. Salad dressings should be lemon or lime juice,
very small quantities of olive oil, and herbs. No salt, soy sauce nor black pepper.Cayenne can be okay for some.
I have also helped chronically ill people that were not mentally prepared to
water fast, but were able to face the long-term self-control and deprivation of araw food cleansing diet that included careful food combining. These people alsoregained their health, but it took them a year at minimum, and once well they hadto remain on a diet tailor-made to their digestive capacity for the rest of their life,usually along with food supplements.
Jim was such a case. He was 55 years old, very obese, had dangerously high
blood pressure poorly controlled with medication, and was going into congestiveheart failure. He was on digitalis and several other heart medications plusdiuretics, but in no way was his condition under control. He had severe edema inthe feet and legs with pitting, and fluid retention in the abdominal region caused ahuge paunch that was solid to the touch not soft and squishy like fatty tissue.
Jim had long dreamed of having his own homestead with an Organic garden
and now he had these things but was too sick to enjoy them or work in his gardenwithout severe heart pain and shortness of breath. Jim had retired early in order toenjoy many years without the stresses of work, and he was alarmed to realize thathe was unlikely to survive a year.
The day Jim came to see me the first time I would have classified his condition
as critically ill because his life was in immediate danger; but he responded soquickly to his detox program that he was very soon out of danger and would bemore accurately described as a chronically ill person. Jim was not prepared towater fast. He was attached to having his food and he was aware that at hisextreme weight he was going to have stay on a dietary program for a long, longtime. He also wanted to choose a gradient that he could manage by himself athome with little assistance from his wife. He had been on a typical American dietwith meat, coffee, etc., so that in spite of his dangerous condition it did not seemwise to me to add the heavy eliminatory burden of a water fast to a body that wasalready overwhelmed with fluids and waste products.
Jim immediately went on a raw food cleansing diet, with no concentrated
foods like nuts, seeds, or avocados, and with one day each week fasting onvegetable juice and broth. He did enemas daily even though it wasn’t his favoritething. In one month he had lost 30 pounds, his eyes had started to sparkle, andhis complexion was rosy. The swelling had disappeared from his feet and legs,and he had to buy new pants.
Starting the second month he gradually withdrew from prescription
medications. From the beginning I had put Jim on a program of nutritionalsupplements including protomorphogens (see chapter on vitamins and foodsupplements) to help the body repair it’s heart and the kidneys. In only fourmonths he had returned his body to glowing health, and looked great for his age,though he was still overweight. At the end of one year he had returned to anormal weight for his height, and only cheated on the diet a couple of times whenattending a social event, and then it was only a baked potato with no dressing.
He was probably going to have many qualitative years working his garden and
living out his dreams. The local intensive care ward lost a lot of money when theyfailed to get Jim.
Diet For The Acutely Ill
The acutely ill person experiences occasional attacks of distressing symptoms,
usually after indiscretions in living or emotional upsets. They have a cold, or a flu,or sinusitis, or a first bout of pneumonia, or a spring allergy attack. The intensesymptoms knock them flat and force them to bed for a few days or a week. Ifthey are sick more often than that, they are moving toward the chronically illcategory.
People who are acutely ill should stop eating to whatever extent that they are
able until the symptoms are gone. During an acute illness, the appetites isprobably pretty dull anyway, so why not give a brief fast on water or fruit juice atry.
Most acute conditions are short in duration, usually not lasting more than a
week. Allergy attacks, some types of flu, and a first bout of pneumonia may welllast for three weeks or a month. The general rule is to eat as little as possible untilthe symptoms have passed, self-administer colon cleansing, even if you have ahorror of such things, and take vitamin supplements, including megadoses ofVitamin C, bioflavinoids, and zinc. (See the chapter on vitamins.) Those having alittle experience with natural medicine make teas of echinacea, fenugreek seedsand red clover and quit eating. Eating as little as possible can mean only waterand herb teas, only vegetable broth, only vegetable juice or non-sweet fruit juice,even only cleansing raw foods. If you eat more than this you have not relievedyour system of enough digestive effort.
After your symptoms are gone it is very important to change your life-style and
improve your diet so that you aren’t so toxic and don’t have to experience anacute illness several times a year when your body is forced to try an energeticdetox.
Diet For A Healthy Person
I doubt that it is possible to be totally healthy in the twentieth century. Doctors
Alsleben and Shute in their book How to Survive the New Health
Catastrophes  state that in-depth laboratory testing of the population at large
demonstrated four universally present pathological conditions: heavy metalpoisoning, arteriosclerosis, sub-clinical infections, and vitamin/mineral deficiencies.Those of us who consider ourselves healthy, including young people, are not reallyhealthy, and at the very least would benefit from nutritional supplementation. Infact the odds against most people receiving adequate vitamin and mineral nutritionwithout supplements are very poor as demonstrated by the following chart.

 continued Rockefeller support to the tune of $5
million.10 Finally closed down by Teachers College in
1946, it was replaced by the Institute of School
Experimentation, which carried on the task of
remodeling American education.
The judgment of the Trustees and administration
in 1946 that the Institute of School
Experimentation would prove to be a most
effective instrument for experimenting in the
public schools has been amply justified by the
Institute's record. Closin g the School and using
the endowment's funds for the Institute

has had the effect of increasing the number of the
College's educational laboratories. Where once
Teachers College had laboratory schools only on
Morningside Heights, it now had them all over the
nation, and they are public schools with typical
public school populations.11
11.   Cremin, et al., op. cit., 238. 10. A New Social Order
THE Lincoln School, despite its inability to
teach its students how to read and write, created broad
effects on American education. Discarding the
traditional course of study, it developed the core
curriculum and merged the study of history, geography,
and civics into what it called the "social studies." To a
generation of teachers and administrators educated at
Teachers College, the Lincoln School was a model for
the type of school they were to create back home. To
thousands of visitors, it was a showplace for the new
psychology and Progressive Education. For the
Rockefeller forces, it was a demonstration of the
humanitarian intentions behind the Rockefeller fortune.
Yet it was not, however large, the sum of all the
Progressive Education activities at Teachers College.
Nor did it represent the thousands of ways in which a
now-affluent Teachers College was forwarding the
steady overhaul of American education. There is little
in the way of change in our educational system and
83 84 THE LEIPZIG CONNECTION
our society to which the professors at Teachers College
didn't apply themselves. Dewey's disciples Harold
Rugg, George S. Counts, and William H. Kilpatrick
provide good examples of where Wundt- ian
psychology was taking the teachers of our teachers.1
In the words of Rugg:
...through the schools of the world we shall
disseminate a new conception of government-one
that will embrace all of the collective activities of
men; one that will postulate the need for scientific
control and operation of economic activities in the
interests of all people.2
Rugg proposed that this could be accomplished in three
ways:
First and foremost, the development of a new
philosophy of life and education which will be
fully appropriate to the new social order;
1. By 1925, Rugg and Counts were reporting over 1,000 schools,
nationwide, engaged in curriculum re vision aligned with the new methods,
300 of these cooperating actively with th e NEA's Bureau of Research (26th
Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education; Bloomington,
1926).

Liberty Bell Press, 1964), 105. A New Social Order  85
Second, the building of an adequate plan for the
production of a new race of educational workers;
Third, the making of new activities and materials
for the curriculum.3
Counts went further, proposing that the schools
themselves build that new social order:
Historic capitalism, with its deification of the
principle of selfishness, its reliance upon the forces
of competition, its placing of property above
human rights, and its exaltation of the profit
motive, will either have to be displaced altogether,
or so radically changed in form and spirit that its
identity will be completely lost...That the teachers
should deliberately reach for power and then make
the most of their conquest is my firm conviction. To
the extent that they are permitted to fashion the
curriculum and procedures of the school they will
definitely and positively influence the social
attitudes, ideals and behavior of the coming
generation.4
Although Kilpatrick's views were similar, he is
mentioned here not so much because of his advo-

cacy of Marxism or the ne w psychology in education
but because, in 191 4, he published a vitriolic attack
on the teaching methods of Maria Montes-sori. He
argued that Dr. Montes sori's "emphasis on
individuality precluded the social interaction stressed
in American progressive theories":
He complained further that the teaching ma-
terials were not stimulating; that children
learned to read, write and figure too early;
and that any good elements in the method
were already contained in  Dr. Dewey's theories,
which went beyond those of Dr. Montes-sori.
Dr. Kilpatrick's book had such impact that by
1918 the Montessori method was seldom
mentioned in the United States, although it
flourished elsewhere.5
The result of Kilpatrick's diatribe was the sup-
pression of the Montessori method in American
education for the next 50 years.
Thorndike, meanwhile, was arranging for the
publication of new spellers, arithmetic books, dic-
tionaries (in collaboration with Barnhart), and
textbooks on education and educational testing.
And the General Education Board continued to

fund Teachers College, as well as the Progressive
Education Association, the National Education
Association, and others to the tune of 324 million
dollars.6
By 1953, Wundtian psychology had reached out
from Teachers College into virtually every public
school in the land:
The single most powerful educational force in
the world is at 120th Street and Broadway in
New York City. Your children's teachers go
there for advanced training... With 100,000
alumni, TC has managed to seat about one-
third of the presidents and deans now [1953] in
office at accredited U.S. teacher training
schools. Its graduates make up about 20 percent
of all our public school teachers. Over a fourth
of the superintendents of schools in the 168
U.S. cities with at least 50,000 population are
TC-trained.7
Today, Wundt is rememb ered only by psychol-
ogists. Gates, Flexner, Ca ttell, Russell, even Thorn-
dike, are found only in texts written by their disci-
ples. They may seem irrele vant to today's critical

 First Observations
As Eykis and I had agreed before we left Uranus, she was to have ten days
to travel over our entire planet when she arrived here on Earth. She would
travel inconspicuously and alone. There would be no hoopla concerning her
arrival, in fact it was to be kept a secret, just as my visit to Uranus had been.
She wanted to see with her own eyes, without my assistance. She was
emphatic in her insistence that she have the freedom to observe and interact
unobtrusively, to research and ask questions, all on her own. She assured
me that she was capable of seeing everything in ten days, since that was all
the time available to her. She had agreed to record her observations on tape
and note any questions she might want to ask me.
As soon as she arrived, Eykis used the Urantian Formulas  to pull the
greatest disappearing act I had ever witnessed. W e had agreed on the time
and place we would meet within ten days and I knew she would keep her
word. She didn’ t know how to do otherwise. Keeping her word was a part
of her unique reality.
My first inclination was to worry about her. I smiled inwardly at her
description of worry-wares and wished I had access to the little device she
had described on Uranus. I would have loved to peek ahead and be certain
that she would be safe, but I recalled what she had said about worry. “Why
would they use up their precious moments for living, by worrying about
something they can’ t do anything about? It seems so pointless.” I suspended
all worry thoughts and decided to use the next ten days productively.
I sorted out and tried to or ganize the tapes and voluminous notes I had
made. She had talked to me about so many things. I felt overwhelmed
trying to write it all down in a single coherent volume. I had thought about
the importance of her messages. How wonderful it would be if I could
somehow introduce this phenomenal way of thinking and feeling to the
people here on my planet. I envisioned a world in which people used their
minds to wash away the foolish and unnecessarily destructive thoughts thatruin so many lives. I visualized importing some of those funny gadgets
Eykis had described and shown to me. But we had enough negatives
without them.
I was back on my comparison excursion again. It was so dif ficult for me
to simply see Uranus as it was. I still wanted to ar gue with it, to prove that
its inhabitants were wrong and we were right. Not once had I ever heard
Eykis imply that we were inferior. To be sure she found us confusing, but
she had never insisted that we be otherwise. I did so much want to take
advantage of this new knowledge, to apply it in some way to help my
people escape their collective obsessions with taking drugs for their
problems, or seeking answers in therapy or some silly encounter group or in
gurus of every description. Somehow I knew that Eykis had secrets for me
and all my people, but I wasn’ t sure how to tap them, how to have her share
them with all of us. She had a singular kind of good sense that, if used
properly, could literally transform our world.
I thought about her constantly, wondering how she would fare traveling
about this huge planet. I knew she wouldn’ t be an alien to our physical
world, since she had lived on our twin planet all her life. But the surprises
that were in store for her, even though I had spent days briefing her, were
surely going to be monumental.

“They’re wrong!” she shouted as she burst into my room at the hotel at
our agreed-upon time.
Hadn’ t I just said to myself that she never even tried to prove us wrong?
This was a shocker. She bounced around the room, almost ranting.
“What? Who’ s wrong?” I blurted, without even saying hello.
“I’ve discovered the reason behind the rampant unhappiness here on
Earth,” she said, still waving her arms and walking around the room. “I’ve
talked inconspicuously to many people, but mostly I’ve simply observed.
I’ve listened to people all over your world, in Asia, Europe, Africa, North
and South America, and even the islands in the Caribbean and South
Pacific,” she said, and paused to catch her breath before continuing. “W e
both know the concept of neurosis. W e have it on Uranus, and you have it
here in the same proportions. Y ou have as much unhappiness here, and your
people rarely talk or act as if they are fulfilled. It all stems from one basic
flaw. The problem is not that you are unhappy, or even unfulfilled, theproblem is that you are almost all wrong.” She had calmed down, but her
excitement at this alarming discovery did not decrease her enthusiasm for
what she was saying.
“If you want to teach your people to be happy and fulfilled, you must
teach them to be correct!” she said.
“What do you mean by correct?” I asked, not wanting her to lose track of
this thought.
“Look,” she said, “you saw anxiety, jealousy, phobias, fears, and self-
rejection all over Uranus. Y ou observed people aiming their feeling-hurters
and causing others to be embarrassed through their embarrassment barrels.
You saw it all. That is simply our reality. We accept our reality and then set
out to be happy and fulfilled within that reality. If our reality can be altered,
we work at altering and feel purposeful in the process. But on Earth,
everywhere I went I saw people thinking, feeling, and behaving in ways
that were simply inconsistent with this reality. Almost all the people I saw
thought and acted as if they were privy to a reality dif ferent from that which
exists. Y et they always ended up being done in by the only reality there is.
They were wrong, wrong, wrong, and for the life of me I can’ t figure out
why they simply didn’ t start thinking, feeling, and behaving right, right,
right! So you tell me, Mr. Earthborn, why all this wrongness?”
I had never seen Eykis like this. Her confusion had finally won out over
her sensibleness. She was hammering her fist on the table, demanding both
insight and answers. She wasn’ t angry, or even upset. She had used this
word “wrong” several times and I wanted to know more about what she
meant by it. I’d known she was in for some shocks, but I hadn’ t expected
this “They’re wrong!” reaction to be so overwhelming.
“Let’ s go back a bit,” I implored. “What have you seen that has led you
to conclude that we’re wrong?”
“In my first few days I discovered that there are many small but
important physical dif ferences between our two worlds. However, this was
of little concern to me. I noted that your military equipment fired real
bullets and that your jails contained people who were put there because of
the ‘harm’ they might cause themselves or others. I noted the locks on your
doors and the guns in your homes. These, and all the other strange
paraphernalia of a violent world, were not surprises to me, since I am well
aware of our own ancient history on Uranus.“I viewed these physical dif ferences as problems of evolution.
Eventually, through experience, you will find that it is quite possible to
eliminate these destructive elements in your world. Y ou will be able to use
your prisons and submarines for positive purposes when you have finally
experienced the futility of competing with each other and have moved to a
more advanced form of living together, called cooperation. This will come
when you’re ready for it, and just plain unable to tolerate the violence. My
biggest shock comes from the wrongness of your thinking.
“I’ll start with my first observation, which occurred in a bank line last
Monday morning. I was simply going to get some cash, as you had
suggested, when I overheard two women in front of me having this
conversation. I taped it for my research as you encouraged me to do. Here’ s
an exact transcript.”
FIRST WOMAN : “My sister never should have moved to Florida
twenty years ago. If she’d listened to me, and not married
that oaf, she wouldn’ t be having these problems today.”
SECOND WOMAN : “Well, she should have listened to you. But you
know how younger sisters are, they have to prove
themselves.”
FIRST WOMAN : “She shouldn’ t have left her family like that. If she’d
done what she was supposed to, she wouldn’ t be going
through a divorce now, and she probably wouldn’ t be stuck
with all those children and I know she wouldn’ t be seeing a
shrink either.”
SECOND WOMAN : “How is she feeling now that she’ s talking to a
psychiatrist?”
FIRST WOMAN : “She’ s still miserable because she just wouldn’ t listen
to me twenty years ago.”
SECOND WOMAN : “Well, she has a right to be miserable, having gone
through what she has.”

 forces from their electrical fields, depend
ing on their spatial locations in relation 10 each other.
A different dipole moment of!he field-oriented water
molecules is also to be expected depending on their
location in!he positive or negative side of the superim
posed electric field.
The direction of water' flow in electroosmosis is
determined by the polarity of the surplus of fixed
82 Water elecuic "capillary'' walls. When water is ionized, the differ
ent speeds of migration of ions and their recombination cre
ate a net transport of water. Type Ill transport is cationic. It
is based on the fact that cations adsorb water molecules, but
anions do not. The cations therefore selectively carry water
molecules in a closed circui1. This type also includes l1'1lns
port of ionic pol)•mc.rs of watc.r. Type IV electroosmosis (in
duction-adsorption ) takes place in m31rices close 10 an elec
trode and does not require ftxed surface charges on the "cap
illary'' walls. Water molecules undergoing dipole induction
by the electric field are transported (adsorbed) to an adjacent
charged electrode- surface, irrespective of its polarity. The
"capillaries" of the matrix may be thought of as mechanical
rectifiers.
charges of!he capillaries (C), within a defined c.lectric
field.
Sollner (77) studied electroosmosis through a typical
unoxidized collodium matrix membrane of high poros
ity. Thereafter he oxidized!he same membrane with
heparin, which is electronegative, and prepared an-other membrane with protamine, which is electroposi
tive. An electroosmotic flow was then obtained for a
10-3 M KCl-water solution (current intensity, 0.1
mA/cm2) as follows:
Unoxidized collodium
membrane
Oxidized collodium

Protamine collodium
membrane +4640 mm3/IOO cm2/hour
The rate of transport of water depends on several
factors: magnitude of the electric field over the pores,
the membrane porosity (number and size of pores),
and the magnitude, density and geometry of fixed
charges. As voltage increases over the electrodes,
movement of water will increase. A similar effect can
be obtained by placing the electrodes closer to the
matrix, due to the increase of intensity of the electric
field.
The size of the "capillary" channels also may be
critical. If the channels are too large, hydrostatic pres
sure will cause water to return. This effect may reduce
the difference between the fluid levels or may even
lead to no difference at all.
2. Type II electroosmo sis
The mechanisms of "electroosmotic water transport"
are complex. It is easy, for example, to recognize that
water can also be transported as a result of electrolysis
followed by migration of protons and hydroxyl ions
and their recombination. In such instances semiper
meable membranes or capillary channels need not be
charged (Fig. IX: 2). The membranes or channels then
act simply as a mechanical hindrance to convection.
In Type II electroosmosis, diffusion and electro
phoretic migration of participating ions in an applied
electric field determine where the recombined water
molecules will be found. The transport mechanism of
the migration derives from the mobility of ions. Proton
movement, for instance, is defmed as 36.2 · w-• cm2
v-• s -• at strong dilutions and 25°C; the corre
sponding value for hydroxyl ions is 20.7 · 10-4 cm2
v-• s-• (41). Their distance of recombin ation into
36.2 water can then be expected to be 36.2 + 20.7 or about
¥1 of the interelectrode distance from the electroposi
tive electrode. This value is, however, also modified
by different adsorption propertie s of ions in a ntatrix
as well as by gravitation. (We will here refer to Fig.
XIII: 7 which, besides serving a different purpose, also
illustrates Type II electroosmosis. ) In this experiment a
10 volt DC potential was applied between two plati
num electrodes on litmus paper soaked in water. By
electrolysis of water, protons are produced at the an
ode and hydroxyl ions at the cathode. The ions mi-grate in the electric field and recombine to form wa
ter. Due to differences of mobility of the ions, a net
transport of water will occur toward the cathode (see
Fig. IX: 2). Gravity considerab ly influences the posi
tion of the recombination zone, an effect which can
easily be observed by slight tilting of the electrolytic
specimen. Water transport of this kind (electroosmo
sis, Type II) increases in importance as voltage in
creases and is, in fact, a special case of electrophoresis.
In the conventional view of electrophoresis, transport
of electrons in the electrical cables requires a corre
sponding electrical transport i n the water. This trans
port has been explained as depending on proton jumps
on water molecules (26), after their ionization at the
electrode surfaces. However, electrolysis of water can
be induced immediately on applying a potential differ
ence over water, despite the fact that water is a good
electrically insulating medium. Some dissociatio n of
water is evidently present for an initial ionic flow of
current, but other mechanisms may also be involved.
Dielectric induction and structuring of water mole
cules adjacent to the electrode surfaces can, for in
stance, be regarded as the initial prerequisite for redox
reactions at the electrode surfaces. Water molecules
are thereby oriented in an optimal way to consume
electrons from the cathode and to donate electrons to
the anode. The reaction products then diffuse and
migrate in the electric field. This mechanism is com
patible with the relatively slow transport of OH-and
H+ ions in the direction from the electrode surfaces to
the zone of recombination, which should be a barrier
of resistance for the passage of protons and hydroxyl
ions.
3. Type III electroosmosis
Another of the mechanisms of electroosmotic water
transport depends on differences in behaviour of ca
tions and anions (Fig. IX: 2). It is known that cations
may become hydrate-d, but not anions (41). When ions
migrate in the electropositive part of an electric field,
cations should then carry water molecules adsorbed on
their surfaces. A correspond ing adsorption and trans
port by anions should not occur in the opposite direc
tion. The resulting net electrophoretic water transport
might then he looked on as a primitive form of "medi
ated"' transport. A release of transported water mole
cules from the carrier can even he predicted when the
aggre,gate enters a region of high pH.
4. Type IV electroosmosis
Finally, an electroosmot ic partial function may he dis
tinguished (Fig. IX: 2). Within a matrix, which docs
not need to be lined with fixed charges, strong dipoles

ed plastic (perspex) plates. Cotton wool is compressed be·
tween the plates. On the other side of each plate is a plati·
num electrode and a venical tube. The tops of the vertical
tubes are connected by a slightly tilted tube. The apparatus
is filled with water up to the level of the lower end of the tilt
ed connector. Positive voltage is applied to the right elec
uode and negative t.O the left one. Electroosmoric Oow of wa
ter will then take place from the right to the left chamber.
Increased hydrostatic pressure of the elevated left column of
water will be limited by the flow of water from the left to the
right vertical tube over the slightly tilted tube. The circular
movement of water will then be seen as a dripping of water
from the "mouth" of the tilted tube. This flow will continue
for a while. Then it will slow and stop spontaneously, de

This book represents only a slight scratch on a
mountain of fascinating problems and possibilities. It
should be evident that the future will require a broad
multidisciplinary approach to disclose the abundance
of morphologic and functional consequences of BCEC
systems in health and disease. It is the hope of the
author that the efforts presented in this book may
serve to anract specialists in different fields to perform
extended studies of the many problems and possibili
ties which the concept offers.
The reader will have found a collection of morpho
logical (radiologic ) observations of pulmonary pathol
ogy in Chapters II-V. These observations represent
important primary data on the existence of BCEC
effects. The observed transformations of tissue can not
be explained in a conventional way. These observa
tions gave the impetus to the present research. The
author's background in diagnostic radiology has in
many parts of the work been of advantage. Structural
24-824586 NordnurrQm analysis in vivo and in vitro without instrumental in
terference has been used as a starting point for later
experimental studies in vivo and in vitro. Knowledge
of this radiologic material is therefore important for
explaining and understanding the biokinetic mecha
nisms described. Structures of the lung have been
described and illustrated with indications of the wide
range of their appearances. The Structures arc all com
ponents of what are here named the c<Jrona struccures,
as their appearance resembles the corona of the sun.
Similar structural changes were also looked for in an
extrathoracic organ. They were identified around car
cinomas of the breast, demonstrating that corona
structures are not specific for a particular organ. Pre
requisites for their radiographic demonstration have
also been described and discussed in Chapter V. The
discussion will therefore now continue with emphasis
on the underlying biologic principle.
Consider a release of energy for driving reactions
over a BCEC. Development of a fluctuating physico
chemical potential is a useful concept. Biologic struc
tures are regarded too often as static results of a pro·
cess of poorly understood development. In reality, aU
biologic material undergoes continuous modification
in an overall recirculating process. Ionic activities are
central events in every part of this circle.
Conventional expression of the electrochemica l po
tential of an ionic species is here called physicochemical
potential. It is a summation of four forces: chemical,
volume-pressure, electrical and gravitational. This
convention, in the author's view, is insufficient to
describe the important interdependence among these
four factors. This limitation may be overcome partly
by graphical presentation of the physicochemical po
tential (Fig. XIII: 2). All four panicipating factors
are then seen to depend directly on each other. The
magnitude of each factor is also individua lly variable.
A collection of ions is named an iooar. Tbe intro
duction of the concept of ergon, i.e., a nonionic ener
getic compound, is of equal importance for under
standing the function of BCEC systems. This impor
tance is particularl y apparent when ions and ergons
appear in collections, termed ergionars. The ionar·
ergonar ratio and concentrations in a closed circuit can
be expected to influence its conductivity. The differ
ent modes of electric adminance of ions and ergons are
of particular importance. The directly available elec
tric energy of ions allows them to react immediately
over their electric factor and to migrate in an activated
closed circuit. Selective ionic transports are thereby
possible and can, moreover, modulate different "lo
cal" electrochemical reactions in the circuit. Ergons,
on the other hand, carry a balanced charge, which
must be activated before it can react over its electric
factor. Ergons are consequently unable to migrate in a
closed electric circuit, unless they are influenced by a
Principles and consequences of BCEC 319 matrix capable of supporting closed-circuit transport.
Such an ergonic transport mechanism can be recog
nized in electroosmosis (Chapter IX). This mechanism
is here also suggested to explain vesicular transports as
recognized in, e.g., pinocytosis (Chapter XII). Ergonic
transport depends mainly on mc:chanical and diffusion
forces. A kind of selective distribution can neverthe
less also be recognized for ergons. Thus, oxygen (an
ergon) "saves" its energy in the carrier haemoglobin
molecule. Oxygen then is favourabl y and selectively
stored in the myoglobin molecule until local conditions
of the muscles permit the activation of the oxygen to
ready it for redox reactions. This formulation of the
behaviour of an ergon is simply a way to adapt the
known relations between oxygen, haemoglobin and
myoglobin (45) to the concept of ergonar in BCEC
systems.
The electromotive forces driving BCEC systems de
pend on mixed redox and diffusion potentials. In the
experimental models illustrating these assumptions,
water and a supportin g electrolyte (KCl) were shown
as a driven system (electrolysis) and after electrolysis
as a self-driving system within a matrix (page 169).
Thus, redox reactions of an ergonar (water) begin with
the creation of two ionars (n · OH-, n · H+) and two
ergonars (n · H~, n · Oz). Tbe diffusion potential
caused by the ionars may be cancelled by migration of
K+ and Cl-ions ("local reactions" ) in the circuit.
The ergonars n · H2> n · 02, n · Cl2 remain partly ac
cumulated in the matrix and yet show the capacity to
produce a current through the circuit after their activa
tion by metal electrodes. Thus it is possible to illus
t~atc in an experimental model the existence, function
and importance of ionars and crgonars in BCEC sys
te,ms.
The development of diffusion potentials, constitut
ing part of the driving force in BCEC systems, may be
modified in many ways in vivo. Diffusion of metabolic
reaction products depends on several factors, e.g.,
ionic concentrations and speeds of mobility. Ionic sep
aration by diffusion, e.g., over charged and uncharged
membran es, can further be modified by convection of
tissue fluids. These processes can either enhance or
level diffusion potentials. Buffe·ring capacity or specif
ic ionic recombinations may further modify these po
tentials. Pharmacologic induction of functional activity
of an organ (e.g., the liver, Fig. VI: 19) was found to
induce electrical polarization of the organ (measured as
its diffusion potential) vs. its surroundings, here called
a physiologic "demand' " potential of a BCEC circuit.
Pulmonary malignancies of corresponding size and
histologic character sometimes showed an electric po
larization but no consistency of polarity or magnitude
of electric potential (page 66). This unanticipated find
ing led to studies which point to tissue injury as mainly
responsible for the observed potentials of the lesions.
320 Principles and consequences of BCEC These injury potentials fluctuate and attenuate in rela
tion to surrounding tissue, as was found with sponta
neously degrading blood in in vitro experiments
(Chapter VII). Once the fact of polarization of tissue it
accepted, then attempts to determine "absolute" val
ues of polarization of degrading tumours, without
knowing the time-related phase of degradation, are of
no or little value. This becomes further evident as local
variations of oxygenation of the degrading tissue and
the reference tissue should also markedly influence the
mixed, total driving potential of the BCEC circuits.
Fu.rthermore, BCEC channels can also be expected to
contribute (unpredictably ) to a continuous levelling of
the potential gradients, depending on the variable re
sistive properties of the circuits. A continuous genera
tion of electric transports over a BCEC might never
theless lead to considerable trans.port of material when
the driving force is allowed to co.ntinue over long time
periods, i.e., days, weeks or months. Spontaneously
degrading blood under sterile anoxic conditions (Fig.
VII: 3) was found to produce in vitro a diffusion po
tential of about 200 m V. This potential was initially
electropositive for some days and associated with acid
ity. Later on it became electronegative. This continu
ous fluctuation of polarity, like any spontaneous reac
tion, will move toward a state of equilibrium. The
momentary polarity of a degrading tumour depends on
the phase of development of degradation (in relation to
the reference tissue) during which the potential is
measured.
Early in autolysis, during the electropositive phase
of degradation, cells start to die. The rate of cellular
death can be presumed to vary according to specific
cellular susceptibilities to impaired living conditions.

energetic,  filled  with  Light,  Buoyancy  and  Power.  When
Life has withdrawn,  the body  lies there  helpless.  All the
organs,  all the faculties  which  were  acting  are there  still,
but the body  is helpless!  Then  where  was  that  Intelligence,
power,  substance,  energy,  and  activity,  which  was  acting
thru that  body ? Right  there  in the Stream  of Life  and  En-
ergy from  the Presence  of ALL  Life.  When  It withdrew,
the body  was  helpless.  Then  everything  which  ever  acted
thru that  form,  all the Power,  Intelligence  or whatever  it
might  have  been,  was  the Power  and  the qualities,  which
came  thru  the Stream  of Life  beating  each  human  Heart.
You cannot  deny  that!  There  is not a human  Being  on
the face  of This  Earth  who  can deny  it. There  was  a Pres-
ence  of Life  which  was  in that  form  which  is no longer  ac-
tive. The  Presence  of Life  was  carrying  each  quality  thru DISCOURSE  XXII  299
the human  form  and out into  the Individual's  world.  Then,
you know  you  have  found  the Source  of Intelligence,  of
Power,  of Life,  of Action,  of All Supply  there  is in the
World.
Let us no longer  be limited  in the feeling  world,  by the
idea and  feeling  that  supply  depends  upon  human  Beings
in your  midst!  As long  as you continue  to accept  it, you will
find yourself  limited.  Cut it off and turn  to your  Presence—
the Treasure-House  of the  Universe—and  your  world.
Then,  remember  THIS,  Beloved  Ones,  Oh please  HOLD
THIS  firmly  before  yourself  forever!
When  you  call to your  Presence  for your  money  supply
or any  supply  you  require  for use,  Your  Presence,  is your
Treasure-House  actually,  practically  and  literally!  It prob-
ably would  not release  coined  money  in your  hands  just
yet; but It is the Power  of Intelligence  at your  Call,  which
sets Its Energy  into  action  in your  body.  All persons,  places
and conditions,  required  to bring  financial  money  supply
into your  hands—by  the Wisdom,  Power  and  Love  of the
Presence,  will  be set into  action  to bring  it to you.  You  will
be caused  to harmonize  yourself  and  do whatever  you  are
required  to do, to co-operate  with  the Activity  of Life  which
produces  that  result  for you.
Oh Dear  Hearts,  once  you would  only  understand  it, you
could  not be deprived  of anything  you  need  for your  use.
It would  be impossible!  There  is not one human  Being  on
This  Earth,  who  owns  anything.  Oh,  if mankind  would
only understand  that!  You


7 regimen) may prevent the estrogen
withdrawal that triggers the headache. This idea is based more  on clinical
practice than on research trial data,50,51 but this does not detract from the
validity of the evidence.
In one study, a 168-day placebo-free regime of hormonal
contraceptives, where hormones were taken at regular levels  every day,
helped relieve headache severit y and improve work productivity and day-
to-day function, compared to the normal 21/7 pattern. In a placebo-free
contraceptive regime, the same  levels of hormones are taken every day
without a “break.” In another trial, a transdermal contracepti ve (a patch
worn on the skin to preven t ovulation), when used for 84 days
consecutively, resulted in fewer headaches compared with the standard 21/7
contraceptive regimen.53
Research into menstrual migraine is limited. It should be noted,
however, that women who suffer from migraine with aura should not take
combined horm onal contraceptives due to an increased risk of ischemic
stroke.54 More study of the link between sex hormones and migraines, and
of the possible genetic predisposition in some women is needed  to develop
more targeted diagnosis and treatment. Nonetheless, it is important to
understand that the functions of the sex hormones are not confined to the
reproductive system—they are active in the nervous systems too.
PELVIC FLOOR DYSFUNCTIONS
Another aspect of pain and function specific to women is the connection
between the breath, pelvic floor function, and sacroiliac joint stability.55
The sacroiliac joint connects the pelvis to the spine, essentially  supporting
the weight of the upper body. The pelvic floor and the diaphragm are
structurally and functionally connected by fascia and muscles,56 especially
the pubococcyg eus—the muscl e that controls urine flow57 and contracts
during or gasm.58
The skeletal and muscular systems of the pelvis have been described as
a unit forming the base of a lumbopelvic “cylinder” with the diaphragm at
the top and the transversus abdominis at the sides.59 The spinal column runs
through the center of this cylinder, supported by elements of the lower back,psoas, and abdominal muscles.  Because the psoas fibers merge with the
diaphragm and the pelvic floor, stiffness or dysfunction in any of these
muscles is likely to affect the ability of the diaphragm to function normally,
impacting the stability of the spine.
Analysis of over 38,000 telephone interviews showed that middle-aged
and older women were more likely to experience back pain alongside
breathing difficulties. It also showed that problems with both incontinence
and back pain might be due to physical limitations of functional  movement,
posture, and respiration in the trunk.60 The fact is, if the muscles of the
pelvic floor are dysfunctional, compensatory muscle activity may interfere
with the activity of the pelvic  floor, compromising spinal stability and
possibly resultin g in urinary incontinence. The results of a 2007 study into
pelvic floor and abdominal muscle function in women indicated that
women with incontinence actually have increased  activity in these
muscles.60 Researchers concluded that their finding “challenges the clinical
assumption that incontinence is associated with reduced pelvic floor muscle
activity.”
Women with chronic pelvic pain frequently breathe into the upper chest.
They have poor coordination in basic functions such as sittin g, standing,
and walking, and very stiff muscles in the lower back and hips. In a 2007
interview, Dr. Leon Chaitow explained that, when normal diaphragm
breathing is restored and the pelvic floor muscles are relaxed, it is relatively
easy to reestablish function in the pelvic floor.61 Dysfunction in pelvic
muscles affects the stability of the spine and pelvis, while hyperventilation
contributes to problems with motor control.
Normalizing imbalances in the joints and soft tissues, along with
postural and functional breath ing training, has the potential to modify,
relieve, or eliminate symptoms, including chronic pelvic pain. Chaitow
explains that manual deactivation of trigger points and physical relaxation
exercises, combined with breathing rehabilitation, “offer a practical way
forward.” Conversely, because the pelvic floor mechanism can affect
diaphragm move ment and the function of the lungs, the author s of a 2015
study also suggest including  pelvic-floor -strengthening exercises in
breathing rehabilitation programs.62Many chronic symptoms relatin g to the urethra, bladder, lower bowel,
and prostate can be caused, maintained, or aggravated by active myofascial
trigger points in the muscles of the pelvic area.61 When these trigger points
are helping stabilize hypermob ile joints or enhance the stability of the
pelvic floor, their deactivation may ease pain at the cost of stability. It is
therefore necess ary to first address the underlying causes of the instability.
As we discovered in the chapter s on functional movement and pain, trigger
points can be the result of psychological stress. They are a sign of
autonomic imba lance, and the autonomic nervous system can be regulated
through the practice of slow, light diaphragm breathing. It is also important
to remember that the respiratory alkalosis intrinsic to hyperventilation
encourages the development of myofascial trigger points.
Trigger points, clenched pelvic floor muscles, and hyperactivity of the
muscles can sometimes be caused by psychological issues, including a
history of abuse or assault, or by excessive tone created by a background of
athletics, dance, or badly taught Pilates. When a psychosexual or
psychosocial element is present, appropriate therapeutic support is
necessary alongside breath and bodywork.61
FEMALE HORMONES, LUNG HEAL TH, SLEEP, AND
ANXIETY
There is evidence that some respiratory illnesses behave differently in
women than in men. Asthma, for instance, is more common  in women.
However, its prevalence change s with age.11 In childhood, more boys have
asthma than girls, but once puberty hits, women are more susceptible, and
their symptoms fluctuate through the menstrual cycle.
Up to 40% of women report premenstrual asthma symptoms that can
lead to severe attacks.11 One study of girls aged between 8 and 17 years
found that girls who begin menstruating earlier tend to develop more severe
asthma after puberty.63 The fact that respiratory symptoms change as
hormone levels fluctuate indicat es that sex hormones contribute to the onset
and persistence of asthma.1,64 This theory is further confirmed by the fact
that 20% of asthmatic women suffer from worse sympto ms duringpregnancy11 and that female sex hormones can make the severe form of
asthma even worse.65
A 2009 study compared respiratory function in women with and without
asthma over the course of the menstrual cycle. In all women, forced
expiratory volume and blood gas transfer varied through the menstrual
cycle, peaking during menstruation and declining to the lowest point in the
early luteal phase when progest erone was at its highest. Forced  expiratory
volume is an important measure of lung function, measuring the volume of
air that can be forced out in one second after taking a deep breath. The
cyclical respiratory changes occurred by way of very dif ferent physiological
mechanisms in women with asthma compared to healthy women. In
asthmatic wom en, cyclical variations in gas exchange were due to
differences in the functioning of the alveoli66. These  change s were
consistent, regar dless of inhaled corticosteroid or hormonal contraceptive
use.
As horm one levels fluctuate over the 28-day cycle, blood vesse ls in the
lungs are constantly forming and disappearing. This impacts the way the
lungs take in oxygen because it affects ventilation perfusion. These findings
begin to provide insight into the way asthma presents in women, why
difficult-to-control, severe asthma is more common among women, and
why exacerbations occur in the luteal phase. Female sex hormones also
contribute to asthma exacerbations in women who are overwei ght because
obesity causes imbalances in the levels of estrogen and progesterone.67
Another factor in the way asthma presents is the size and collapsibility
of the airway11. Men tend to experience much more airway collapsibility,
while women are more prone to inflammation in the airways.68
In one 2010 study, hormone replacement therapy (HR T) was linked with
a high number of cases of newly diagnosed asthma in menopausal
women.69,70 Some research  also shows that menopausal women who are
given hormone replacement medications experience worse asthma. One
trial assessed 184 women aged between 34 and 68 over the course of 10
years and found that E2 (estradiol/estrogen) replacement therapy increased
the incidence of asthma.71 However, more recent papers  contradict this
finding, specifying that women are more likely to experience airway
obstruction if they do not take HRT.72 While the literature is limited andsometimes confusing, these findings begin to paint the picture that certain
features of asthma are unique to women, including the much greater
prevalence of symptoms that are severe or difficult to control and the
phenomenon of premenstrual asthma exacerbations.66

The purpose of this volume is to provide a working reference of various statements
regarding vaccination and not to offer a "cure" of any specific disease in any specific
individual.
Preconceived opinions regarding vaccination will not be changed overnight nor by the
reading of a single book. Herein are the opinions of many great scientists and doctors (ofmany schools). Many have spent a life-time of research—of trial and error before
making their statements. The reader has the privilege to accept or to reject the statements
after due deliberation.
Thus we feel this volume should not be considered a  dangerous book for the layman but
a thought-provoking treatise.
The Publisher.
PREFACE
For the past 2000 years physicians have been looking in the wrong direction for the cure
of disease. Their worse than useless practice of killing germs with poison drugs has
never — and can never — solve the problem of disease.
During the Dark Ages, before the introduction of improved nutrition and sanitation, the
world was intermittently visited with epidemics of smallpox. The cause was stubbornly
ignored and the seeds for more disease were sown when vaccination was brought into
popular use. This infusion of poison injected into the blood stream of the masses only
served to intensify the disease in some cases, suppress the symptoms in others and create
new and more serious diseases in still others. So, with the passing of years we have seen
this misbegotten child of
ignorance grow into a Frankenstein monster of immense proportions that moves
relentlessly forward, grinding under foot the multitudes that throng its path.
Through the lethal power of this  poisoned needle, the simple zymotic (contagious)
diseases of the past have been  devolved into the horrors of the present — our terrifying
and expanding crop of "killer diseases". Many of these strange "mystery diseases" that
baffle the entire medical world, are the sordid products of vaccine poisons that disturb
the chemical balance of the body and interfere with normal functioning.
All these medically-made atrocities are far worse than smallpox or any of the other
eruptive diseases that nature provides as a means of expelling the accumulated poison
waste from the abused body. This interference with the balanced economy of nature has
multiplied the problems beyond the power of science to control.
Our worst epidemics  now are epidemics of vaccination  in which more people are killed
every year by "vaccinal diseases" than by the diseases that the vaccinations were
supposed to combat.
Complete freedom from disease can scarcely be found except in remote islands or
isolated communities that have not been invaded by medical mischief and
commercialized products. Is our proud civilization to be degraded, corrupted, and
destroyed by its own inventions designed for selfish profit and exploitation of the race?
Vaccination, instead of being the promised blessing to the world, has proved to be a
curse of such sweeping devastation that it has caused more death and disease than war,
pestilence, and plague combined. There is no scourge (with the possible exception of atomic radiation) that is more destructive to our nation’s health than this monument of
human deception — this slayer of the innocent —this crippler of body and brain — THE
POISONED NEEDLE.
Eleanor McBeanCHAPTER I
THE POISONED NEEDLE


 for Warmth
Clothing should beloose fitting, asarule. Being bound bytight-fitting clothing is
unhealthful. Clothes should beequal tothewarming taskrequired. IfyouliveinAlaska,
heavy wool clothing may berequired, whereas inTexas light cottons doformost ofthe
year.
Cotton, linen andwool aretobepreferred over other type ofmaterials though silk
and other natural fibers are also very good.
Clothing thatiswhite orlight-colored ispreferred over dark colors because they ad-
mit more light. Natural light on the body (and eyes) is healthful.
4.3.7 Pathological Effects of Clothing
Clothing thatisbinding, tight fitting orotherwise constricting isunhealthful. Belts,
girdles, garters, etc. should be avoided.
Synthetics sometimes cause poisonous reactions inthebody.Synthetic clothing and
plastics should not come into contact with the skin.
Porous clothing made ofnatural fibers arealways tobeused when possible forboth
wear and bedding.
4.3.8 Temperature as a Factor in Toxin Retention
When thebody becomes chilled theskin pores close andother body reactions take
place toprotect against chilling asmuch aspossible. Inthese instances, energies being
redirected totemperature maintenance may result intemporary neglect ofregular chores
ofelimination. Theskin normally respires andtheclosing ofpores throws anadditional
burden ofelimination onto therespiratory system. Ifthebody isalready toxic, theadded
toxin retention may reach alevel thatwilltrigger abody cleansing crisis, such asacold
or flu.
4.4. Sleep Is An Essential Of Life—The Role Of Sleep In Life
Inasmuch asthere areother lessons devoted specifically tothesubject ofsleep andits
great significance, we’ll touch upon sleep only briefly here.
Sleep isthecondition under which thebrain generates nerve energywith which to
conduct body activities. The deeper thestage ofsleep into which thebody enters, the
more efficiently cannerve energybegenerated. There arefivestages ofsleep ifwein-
clude theR.E.M stage, popularly called thedream stage, when there arerapid eyemove-ments. Other stages arenamed after thebrain wave frequency.The threshold stage of
sleep is the alpha stage and the deepest stage is delta wave sleep.
Asnerve energyisthespark ofvitality forvigorous activity andhigh level function
generally, adequate sleep is very essential to well-being.
4.5. Food Is An Essential Of Life—The Role Of Food In Health
Several later lessons aredevoted tothesubject offood. Wewillnot,therefore, treat it
extensively here.
Innoother area oflifepractices areourtransgressions against ourselves sogreat as
inthefood weingest. Consequently,most diseases ofhumanity arise largely because of
eating wrong foods.
Food supplies uswith essential nutrients other than thethree inorganic ones weneed.
Even water,aninorganic food, cannormally beobtained inquantities needed from a
proper diet.
Correct diet consists ofmostly fruits. Constitutionally humans arefrugivores or
fruitarians. Wholesome ripe fruits contain allthefood factors necessary tosustain hu-
man life at the highest level.
Allourfood should beeaten rawasnature delivers ittous.Allheating offoods
destroys vital nutrients. Sufficeittosaythatnature didnotequip humans oranyother
animals with stoves.
Theessential categories ofnutrients werequire areasfollows: (NOTE! These per-
centages arerelative tototal food intake byDRYWEIGHT!!!! Further,they areapprox-
imations.)
•85% to90% simple carbohydrates forfuel. Simple carbohydrates andmonosaccharides
such asglucose, fructose (levulose), galactose, etc.Ifcomplex carbohydrates aretaken,
the body must break them down into monosaccharides before absorption.
•1%to5%fats, which supply fuelandother needs, especially essential fatty acids (EFA).
•4% to 8% protein.
•3% to 5% mineral matter in or ganic form.
•1% in vitamins, auxones and other catalytic nutrients.
Like water,fibers infood areaneutral factor.Cellulose, ofwhich fiber iscomposed,
isindigestible andispassed onthrough thebody.Contrary topopular impressions, we
donothave tohave ahigh fiber dietinorder tohave bowel movements. Wearenotdefe-
cating machines—neither arewehaybalers. Wastes willbeexpelled asthey accumulate
sufficiently to require voiding.
Condiments, seasonings, freeoils—in short, anything andeverything except whole
ripefruits with some vegetables, nuts andseeds, allintherawstate, should never pass
the lips.
4.6. Excersise And Activity Are Essential To Well-Being
Humans livetofunction andfunctioning isthevery essence oflife. That which isnot
used isabused. Human faculties were developed foruse. Disuse results inatrophy and
loss of function. W ithout exercise, well-being ceases.
Abilities, intelligence andevery aspect ofwell-being aregreatly enhanced byexer-
cise. Almost every account ofexercise speaks ofitsmarvelous benefits tothebody.Ac-
tivities should be daily indulged that bring all the body’ s some 700 muscles into play.
The subject of exercise is exhaustively treated in a later lesson.4.7. Rest And Relaxation Are Essential To Health
Inpresent-day society there aremany tensions andstress-producing situations. Relax-
ation, which alsoinvolves rest, should beindulged twotofour times daily forperiods of
from 15 to 30 minutes. The body recoups under rest and relaxation.
Ifeyes arebleary ortheeyelids heavy,relaxation forafewminutes with theeyes
closed will accomplish wonders. Anapiseven better,forlittle revitalizes thebody as
well as sleep.
Sleep should beobtained daily totheextent thatsleepiness dictates, whether thisbe
aslittle assixhours orasmuch astenhours. Thehealthier anindividual, thelesssleep
required (toapoint). Asaconcomitant tosleep thebody obtains rest. Rest enables the
body tocatch uponitseliminative activities andtoresupply itsstores ofbody starch
(glycogen) for the following day’ s ener gy needs.
While sleep regenerates afund ofnerve energy,restenables thebody torestock
physical stores aswell asto“clean house.” Relaxation relieves tension buildup. Aperiod
of vigorous exercise followed by relaxation will perform even more dramatic results.
4.8. Sunshine Is An Essential Of Health
While itisknown thatvitamin Discreated through theagency ofsunshine andergos-
terol inthecutaneous tissues, little elseisknown ofthebenefits ofsunlight. Oflateithas
been discovered thatnatural light from thesunisofimmense benefit invision compared
to vision debility under unnatural light.
Another lesson will present the subject of sunshine in depth.
4.9. Recreation And Play Are Health Essentials
Justasthebody isrejuvenated byrest, sleep, relaxation, fasting andother healthful mea-
sures, it is also kept young by constructive games, hobbies and participation sports.
Americans aremore likely todissipate themselves during leisure hours than partici-
pate inbody andcharacter building activities. Thepursuit ofsexinanoverstimulated so-
ciety isofadebilitating nature. Watching TVforthemost partamounts toadult babysit-
ting.
There aremany Americans who swim, run, play ball, enjoy hobbies, participate in
drama, attend cultural events, hike, participate insports, garden, master musical instru-
ments, compete ingames thatrequire strength andsoon.Unfortunately they areami-
nority.Most Americans areinclined tospectator rather than participant activities. Even
many oftheparticipant activities such asdrinking, carousing, etc.aredestructive ofhu-
man faculties.
Recreation andplay canfurther thedevelopment ofhumans. Inthefresh airandsun-
shine wecanparticipate innumerous games ofplay,sports andexercise thataretruly
healthful andthatpromote well-being. Unfortunately,most ofourpeople seek outsen-
suosity for its sake and suf fer as a result.
They bring suffering andinconvenience upon those who make better useofthem-
selves too,for,insociety,acknowledge itornot,weareourbrother ’skeeper more than
we realize.
Inreviewing your clients’ habits, itisalways wise tohave alook intotheir leisure
time pursuits. Many may be dissipating and debilitating.
4.10. Emotional And Mental Well-Being Are Necessary To Health
While emotional andmental well-being areborn ofthephysical conditions ofthebody
already cited, they arealso vitally dependent upon other influences. While emotionalandmental well-being aredependent onphysical well-being, physical well-being isalso
dependent upon emotional and mental well-being.
Our division ofhumans into amultitude ofentities (physical, mental, emotional,
etc.) iserroneous. Rather,weareaunitary organism with many aspects toourbeing.
Nonetheless, weusethese categorizations forthesake ofconvenience incommunica-
tion.
