 make one wonder How is it possible that we were so ignorant of the importance of water to
health that people could suffer from its lack in the body, to the point of wishing to die? P.O. Box 1619, Innisfail 4860 North Queensland, Australia
January 23,1995
Dear Dr. Batmanghelidj:
For many years I suffered with headaches. I consulted doctors, neurologists, chiropractors and spent hundreds of
dollars for head-scans and X-rays, all to no avail. At times only my faith in God kept me from wanting to die, as I lie
prone on my bed for days on end in pain. No medication would ever stop the pain, it would just seem to  run its course and then stop. I could never make any
connection between my diet and the headaches, and the only pattern they seemed  to follow wa s to always sta rt a
couple of hours after a meal. Then one day a friend told me that he thought my headaches were caused because I never drank enough water. While I knew I didn't actually drink much  water, I thought my herbal tea with fruit juices together with lots of fruits
amply supplied my liquid requirements. Just three weeks later I was leafing through a health magazine when an
advertisement for your book, "You r Body's Ma ny Cries for Water," just seemed to leap out at my eyes. I bought the
magazine and sent for the book. When it came, I eagerly read and re-read it to learn this new concept about water, and as I saw the errors in my
drinking habits I quickly se t about to righting them. Ca n anyone, without experiencing it for themselves, really
understand what it is like to have usually pain-filled days changed to wonderful painless days wh en you can do the
things you want to do, instead of being "down with a headache? " Oh, such  a blessin g for which I thank God
continually.It has taken months to properly hydrate my body, but now a headache is a now-and-again event instead of the
norm. I thank a loving and caring God for leading me step by step to this wo nderful truth. He no doubt tried to lead
me a lot earlier, but I was too blind to see. I thank you  doctor for your great work and perseverance in bringing this
truth to the people. I lecture to adults at night classes on "better Food and Eating Habits" and I quickly gave one of my sessions entirely
to the body's need for water. I have been able to help many people to better health and much less pain in their lives,
with this kno wledge. A friend told me he was going into hospital, in a few days time for stomach and ulcer treatment. I begged him to cancel this and try the water treatmen t you’ve recomm ended. He somewhat reluctantly did and was amazed and thankful to find his pains stop and in time, to know that the ulcer
had healed, all without med ication. Please let me offer my grateful thanks again and pray that the Lord will bless a nd guide you and your staff as you
work for the better health of humanity. Sincerely,

STRESS AND DEPRESSI ON
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in  trying to adapt the world to
himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." George Bernard Shaw
A state of depression is sai d to exist when the brain, in confronting a stressful emotional problem, finds it difficult to
cope with other attention-demanding actions at the same time. This phenomenon can become so all-absorbing as
to incapacitate the person. In the long run, such a stressful drain on brain activity can produce different
manifestations that are labeled according to the person's outward behavior pattern. Ten million Americans are said to be suffering from one form or another of such conditions. Infinitely greater
numbers are experiencing, or will at one time or another experience, the milder forms of depression. Some form of
depression is a natural phenomenon in the process of development and progress of any individual. It is in these
states of consuming mental activity that characters are developed and the inner mettle of the individual is forged. Naturally, co ping with different aspects o f one's negative feelings is part and parcel of the process. Almost always,
the state of depression is a passing phenomenon if love, care, and empathy are available to nudge the individual in
the direction of a resolution of negative inner thoughts. Unfortunately, som e people will not be able to cope with the fear, anxieties, and angers associated with depression. In seeking professional help, they are given some form of medication. At the onset of chemical treatment of
depression, the medications were less harmful. Today, they are very powerful and sometimes dangerous. So me
form of them will strip from those treated the ability to emotionally feel for themselves, as well as for others. Some of
these medications can destroy empathy and fix a negative idea in particularly vulnerable persons. They may more
easily b ecome suicidal, as wel l as antisocial and homicidal. What I am explaining in this chapter is the reason for the inefficiency of the physiology associated with stress and
depression. What I propose is the way to increase the efficiency of brain power to cope with extremely severe
emotional stress and its outward manifestations of depression. I, myself, have experienced, and have observed in
many others, all of the positive aspects to what I am proposing to you readers. Pathology that is see n to be associated with "social stresses"—fear, anxiety, insecurity, persistent emotional and
matrimonial problems—a nd the establishment of depressio n are the results of water deficiency to the point that the
water requirement of brain tissue is affecte d. The brain uses electrical energy that is generated by the water drive of
the energy-generating pumps. With dehydration, the level of energy generation in the brain is decreased. Many
functions of the brain that depend on this type of energy become inefficient. We recognize this inadequacy of
function and call it depres sion. This "de pressive state" caused by dehydration can lead to chronic fatigue syndrome. This condition is a label put on a series of advanced physiological problems that are seen to be associated with
stress. If we understand the events that take place in stress, we will also understand chronic fatigue syndrome. In any case,
after a period of time of correcting for dehydration and its metabolic com plications, chronic fatigue syndrome will
improve beyond recognition. The following pages define the physiological events and the possible metabolic
overrides that can lead to depletion of certain body reserves that may be the basic problem in chronic fat igue
syndrome. THE I NITIAL LY SILENT COM PENSA TION MECHANISM S ASSOCI ATED W ITH DEHY DRA TION
When the body becomes dehydrated, the physiological processes that will establish are the same ones that occur
when coping with stress. De hydration equals stress, and once stress establishes, there is an associa ted
mobilization of primary materials from body stores. This process will "mop up" some of the water reserves of the
body. Consequently, dehydration causes stre ss, and stress will cause further dehydration. In stress, several hormonal overrides become operative. The body assumes a crisis situation and will begin to
mobilize for a "fight or flight" response. The body does not seem to recognize the social transformation of humans. Itassesses all situations of Str ess as though a "fight or flight" stance has to be maintained, even with stresses
associated with work in an office. Several strong hormones become secre ted and will remain "triggered" until the
body gets out of its stre ssful circumstances. These hormones are mainly endorphins, cortisone release factor,
prolactin, vasopressin, and renin-angiotensin. ENDORPHI NS, CORT ISONE, PROL ACTIN, AND VASOPRESSI N
Endorphins prepare the body to  endure hardship and in jury until it gets out of danger. They also raise t he pain
threshold. With an injury that wou ld have caused pain at a lower  level, with the "umbrella" of endorphins, the body
will be able to continue with its task. Because of chi ldbirth and monthly menstruation, women seem to access this
hormone much more readily. They g eneral ly have a greater abilit y to withstand pain and stress. Cortisone will initiate the remobilization of stored energies and raw m aterials. Fat is broken down into fatty acids to
be converted into energy. So me proteins are once again broken down into the basic amino acids for the formation
of extra neurotransmitters, new proteins, and some special amino acids to be burned by the muscles. During
pregnancy and at the time of feeding milk to the child, this hormone and its "associates" will mobilize a uniform flow
of primary materials for the purpose of offspring development. If the action of cor tisone continues for  long, soon
there will be some selective depletion from the amino acid reserves of the body. Under the influence of cortisone, the body continues to "feed off itself." The effect of cortisone is designed to provide
emergency raw materials for  the production of most essential primary proteins and neurotransmitters—t o get the
body rover the hump." It is not designed for the continued breakdown of materials employed in the maintenance of
the structural/integrity of the body. It is this phenomenon that produces t he damage associated with stress, i f the


tary convulsions. Either way, this can easily send both partners
into extraordinary ecstasy. Recent-and still controversial-findings indicate that in
many women the Big 0 may be accompanied by a gush or spurt. This results especially with such positions as Wild Horses Leap
ing and Donkeys of Spring, and is often preceded by an acute sen
sation in the won1an sin1ilar to an urge to urinate. Unless she
starts coitus with a full bladder, this urge is simply an intense
orgasmic sensation and is not cause for alarn1. A woman who is good in bed docs not stop at practicing her
own brand of coital dynamics and the secret Butterfly Quiver. She knows how to arouse her partner with love-play, making him Orgasmic Brinkmansh ip and Multiple O's
more potent, and can sense how far he is from his brink. This is
crucial especially if the man knows no brinkmanship. When a
woman feels that her man is near the edge, she can stop him from
going over it, then draw him toward it again. A much-teased and
much-delayed male orgasm with ejaculation, a Big 0, is far more
powerful and explosive than an unorchestrated one. The ancient Art of the Bedchamber, as we can see, has quite a
potential in the modern bedroom. Afterword
During the years of researching and writing The Yiu-Yaug But
terfly, I came to the realization that offering information culled
from obscure ancient Chinese sources to contemporary Western
readers would require an unortho dox, perhaps even maverick, ap
proach. The subject of the book, sexuality, is universal, but its
presentation here has several inherent dichotomies: East versus
West, ancient versus modern, mystical versus scientific. My goal,
daunting as it may be, has been to minimize these built-in contra
dictions so that readers can share the universality of an ancient art. Despite its mystical aspects, dating back to long before th�
rise of modern science and sexology, the Art of the Bedchan1ber
was a serious study. It was done not in the laboratory of science,
but in the ultin1ate laboratory of human experience. As has been
mentioned, some of the aspects of the ancient Taoists' knowledgt"'
of sexuality and health, which they consider ed intitnatdy linked,
now seem amazingly "tnodern." Today's scientists have found
validity in various ancient Chinese practices-biofeedback, acu
puncture, nutrition and herb therapy. and n1editation, for ex�un
plc, all of which Jre closely associJtt•d with sexuality. So while
much of ancient 1nysticisn1 was based on superstition, sotne of it
n1ight be thought of as "new" scit·nce. In this age of instant gratitication, when fast ltlod, fleeting
fantt', and quickie sex arc tht· nonn, the kisurcly prudence advo
catt·d by tht· ancit·nt bt·droont sages 1nay appear quaint. It tnay,
howt·vcr, be just the stylt· nt't'dt·d to rentedy sonte of our health
and st·xual nulaisc. It was with this conviction, and gleefully, that I wrote the sec
tion titk·d "Ancit·nt St·cn:ts for Modern Lovers." It tnay lllt'rdy
bring fun and frolic to the bedroon1, or rt·sult in son1cthing ntorc meaningful. You may find sotnething useful an1ong tht' rneasures
advocated by the ancit'nt Taoists: specific foods and herbs to nur
ture your sexual vitali ty; physical exercise and n1ind-body ther apy
to train your sexual ntech anism ; lingering. whi ntsical love-play to
arouse Yin and Yang; varied coital positions for you and your
partner to excite each other; orgasn1ic brinkrnanship techniques
to prolong union; and ingenious coita l dynamics to heighten
pleasure. The Chinese know how to turn humble food ingredients into
delicacies. Their n1ain trick is an exchange of flavors among dif
ferent ingredients, with each ingredient acting as a seasoning for
the others. The result is an endless variation of flavors. Likewise, in their bedchamber art, the ancient Chinese knew
how to turn simple physical union into a delicious encounter. Their main trick was mutual stimulation between Yin and Yang,
or an exchange of sexual energy, with each partner acting as the
aphrodisiac for the other. The result could be an endless variation
of pleasure. This does not mean that ancient Chinese sexologists advo
cated sexual indulgence and lewdness. They simply belie ved that
with moderation and prudence, sex-like food-could be a cele
bration of life. I quote that bedchamber sage the Mystic Master of the Grotto:
"Among all the creatures under Heaven, human beings are most
precious. What is essential to people is the bedchamber instinct. We imitate Heaven and emulate Earth, measure Yin with the
compass and Yang with the square. Those who understand the
nature of prudent sex will nurture their vigor and prolong their
life. Those who treat its principle with contempt will injure their
spirit and shorten their life.... If this knowledge benefits all
people, why not propagate it for ten thousand generations?" Afttrwor d Glossary

	take	your	Control	Pause. Reduced	your	breathing	for	four	minutes. Wait	two	minutes	and	take	your	Control	Pause. Measure	your	pulse. Your	CP	taken	at	the	end	of	the	four	sets	should	be	about	25%	higher	than	the
one	taken	at	the	start. Your	pulse	as	measured	at	the	end	of	the	20	minutes	should	be	a	couple	of
beats	per	minute	lower	than	your	pulse	measured	at	the	start. If	your	pulse	is
higher,	then	rest	for	a	few	minutes	and	re-measure. If	it	is	still	high,	then	this
is	a	sign	that	you	were	stressed	during	the	exercise. The	next	time	you
practice,	ensure	that	you	experience	a	shortage	of	air	but	place	more	emphasis
on	relaxation. The	normal	resting	pulse	for	an	adult	should	be	between	60	and	80	beats	per
minute. A	child’s	pulse	will	be	higher	than	this	and	will	decrease	as	he	or	she
gets	older. Twenty	to	thirty	minutes	first	thing	in	the	morning	is	an	excellent	way	to
reverse	the	heavy	breathing	from	the	night	before. Repeat	the	same	process
during	the	day	and	as	the	last	thing	that	you	do	at	night. Reducing	your
breathing	before	going	to	bed	will	ensure	a	calm	and	restful	sleep	and	will
give	you	very	good	energy	levels	when	you	wake	in	the	morning. While	doing	your	four	sets	of	four	minutes,	experience
an	air	shortage	for	the
entire	four	minutes. Reducing
your	breathing	for	the	first	30	seconds	andthen	breathing	heavily	for	the	remaining	three
and	a	half	minutes	is	not	useful. You	might	find	it	difficult	to	set	aside	twenty	minutes	three	times	a	day;	do
your	best. Know	that	every	minute	of	reduced	breathing	is	also	a	minute	that
you	give	your	mind	to	rest	from	its	normal	activity. Your	mind	also	needs	a
rest	from	its	incessant	and	repetitive	thoughts. Watching,	feeling	and	reducing
your	breath	create	quiet	time	for	your	mind. (Please	note:	To	assist	with	continuous	relaxation,	the	enclosed	CD	is	slightly
different	to	the	above	approach	as	it	runs	without	any	interruptions)
	Informal	routine	for	correcting	your	breathing	volume	(easy	and	detailed
approach)

If	you	feel	that	you	can	practice	reduced	breathing	as	part	of	your	daily	life,
then	reduce	your	breathing	and	create	an	air	shortage	for	blocks	of	about	four
or	five	minutes	several	times	throughout	the	day. Reducing	your	breathing	for	90	minutes	throughout	the	day	helps	restore	your
breathing	volume	to	normal	levels. This	is	easier	done	than	you	may	think. If
you	like	walking,	then	breathe	through	your	nose	and	reduce	your	breathing
for	the	entire	walk. If	you	like	to	meditate,	reduce	your	breathing	during
meditation. If	you	like	to	drive,	reduce	your	breathing	while	driving. If	you
watch	TV	or	read,	reduce	your	breathing	while	doing	these	activities. If	you
work	on	a	computer,	reduce	your	breathing. Placing	your	finger	under	your
nose	to	reduce	your	breathing	is	not	a	requirement. All	that	is	required	is	that
you	relax	your	chest	and	diaphragm	and	breathe	less	than	what	you	normally
do. You	are	breathing	less	when	you	feel	a	tolerable	air
shortage. Sustain	this	feeling	for	blocks	of	four
minutes	several	times	throughout	the	day	(informally)
or	during	four	four-minute	blocks	(formally). If	your	tummy	gets	tense	or	jumpy,	then	your	air	shortage	is	too	great	and	can
create	tension. If	this	happens,	distract	yourself	for	a	few	seconds	and	return
to	gentle	reduced	breathing. With	practice,	your	breathing	will	become	calm,
quiet	and	still. Your	other	option	is	to	continue	with	the	heavy	breathing,	have
all	of	your	attention	in	your	head	and	deprive	your	brain	of	oxygen,	resulting
in	increased	thought	activity.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

: What was the author's initial focus in their research career?,
A: The author's initial focus was on increasing the consumption of high-quality protein, particularly in the context of malnutrition in the Philippines.
Q: What is the author's opinion on the concept of correlation and causation in scientific research?,
A: The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the complexity of the relationship between diet and health, and highlights the limitations of correlation analysis in determining causality.
Q: What is the author's approach to studying the relationship between diet and cancer?,
A: The author's approach involves conducting in-depth experiments and analyzing the effects of different factors on cancer growth, including the role of protein in the process.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Because	of	this	the	two	groups	of	rats	were	starting	the	cancer
process	with	different	amounts	of	initiated,	cancerous	“seeds.”	Then,	during
the	promotion	phase,	we	fed	a	low-protein	diet	to	the	high-aflatoxin	dose
groups	and	a	high-protein	diet	to	the	low-aflatoxin	dose	group. We	wondered
whether	the	animals	that	start	with	lots	of	cancerous	seeds	are	able	to
overcome	their	predicament	by	eating	a	low-protein	diet. CHART	3.4:	DIETARY	PROTEIN	AND	FOCI	FORMATION
	CHART	3.5:	CARCINOGEN	DOSE	VERSUS	PROTEIN	INTAKE
Again,	the	results	were	remarkable	(
Chart	3.5
). Animals	starting	with	the
most	cancer	initiation	(high-aflatoxin	dose)	developed
substantially	less	foci
when	fed	the	5%	protein	diet. In	contrast,	animals	initiated	with	a	low-
aflatoxin	dose	actually	produced
substantially	more	foci
	when	subsequently
fed	the	20%	protein	diet. A	principle	was	being	established. Foci	development,	initially	determined
by	the	amount	of	the	carcinogen	exposure,	is	actually	controlled	far	more	by
dietary	protein	consumed	during	promotion. Protein	during	promotion	trumps
the	carcinogen,	regardless	of	initial	exposure. With	this	background	information	we	designed	a	much	more	substantial
experiment. Here	is	a	step-by-step	sequence	of	experiments,	carried	out	by
my	graduate	student	Linda	Youngman. 35
	All	animals	were	dosed	with	the
same	amount	of	carcinogen,	then	alternately	fed	either	5%	or	20%	dietary
protein	during	the	twelve-week	promotion	stage. We	divided	this	twelve-week
promotion	stage	into	four	periods	of	three	weeks	each. Period	1	represents
weeks	one	to	three,	period	2	represents	weeks	four	to	six,	and	so	on. When	animals	were	fed	the	20%	protein	diet	during	periods	1	and	2	(20-
20),	foci	continued	to	enlarge,	as	expected. But	when	animals	were	switched
to	the	low-protein	diet	at	the	beginning	of	period	3	(20-20-5),	there	was	a
sharp	decrease	in	foci	development. And,	when	animals	were	subsequently
switched	back	to	the	20%	protein	diet	during	period	4	(20-20-5-20),	foci
development	was	turned	on	once	again.In	another	experiment,	in	animals	fed	20%	dietary	protein	during	period	1
but	switched	to	5%	dietary	protein	during	period	2	(20-5),	foci	development
was	sharply	decreased. But	when	these	animals	were	returned	to	20%	dietary
protein	during	period	3	(20-5-20),	we	again	saw	the	dramatic	power	of	dietary
protein	to	promote	foci	development. These	several	experiments,	taken	together,	were	quite	profound. Foci
growth	could	be	reversed,	up	and	down,	by	switching	the	amount	of	protein
being	consumed,	and	at	all	stages	of	foci	development. These	experiments	also	demonstrated	that	the	body	could	“remember”
early	carcinogen	insults,
35,	36
	even	though	they	might	then	lie	dormant	with
low	protein	intake. That	is,	exposure	to	aflatoxin	left	a	genetic	“imprint”	that
remained	dormant	with	5%	dietary	protein	until	nine	weeks	later	when	this
imprint	reawakened	to	form	foci	with	20%	dietary	protein. In	simple	terms,
the	body	holds	a	grudge. It	suggests	that	if	we	are	exposed	in	the	past	to	a
carcinogen	that	initiates	a	bit	of	cancer	that	remains	dormant,	this	cancer	can
still	be	“reawakened”	by	bad	nutrition	some	time	later. These	studies	showed	that	cancer	development	is	modified	by	relatively
modest	changes	in	protein	consumption. But	how	much	protein	is	too	much	or
too	little? Using	rats,	we	investigated	a	range	of	4-24%	dietary	protein	(
Chart
3.6
37
). Foci	did	not	develop	with	up	to	about	10%	dietary	protein. Beyond
10%,	foci	development	increased	dramatically	with	increases	in	dietary
protein. The	results	were	later	repeated	a	second	time	in	my	laboratory	by	a
visiting	professor	from	Japan,	Fumiyiki	Horio. 38CHART	3.6:	FOCI	PROMOTION	BY	DIETARY	PROTEIN
The	most	significant	finding	of	this	experiment	was	this:	foci	developed
only	when	the	animals	met	or	exceeded	the	amount	of	dietary	protein	(12%)
needed	to	satisfy	their	body	growth	rate. 39
	That	is,	when	the	animals	met	and
surpassed	their	requirement	for	protein,	disease	onset	began. This	finding	may	have	considerable	relevance	for	humans	even	though
these	were	rat	studies. I	say	this	because	the	protein	required	for	growth	in
young	rats	and	humans	as	well	as	the	protein	required	to	maintain	health	for
adult	rats	and	humans	is	remarkably	similar. 40,	41
According	to	the	recommended	daily	allowance	(RDA)	for	protein
consumption,	we	humans	should	be	getting	about	10%	of	our	energy	from
protein. This	is	considerably	more	than	the	actual	amount	required. But
because	requirements	may	vary	from	individual	to	individual,	10%	dietary
protein	is	recommended	to	insure	adequate	intake	for	virtually	all	people. What	do	most	of	us	routinely	consume? Remarkably,	it	is	considerably	more
than	the	recommended	10%. The	average	American	consumes	15-16%
protein. Does	this	place	us	at	risk	for	getting	cancer? These	animal	studies
hint	that	it	does. Ten	percent	dietary	protein	is	equivalent	to	eating	about	50-60	grams	of
protein	per	day,	depending	on	body	weight	and	total	calorie	intake. Thenational	average	of	15-16%	is	about	70-100	grams	of	protein	per	day,	with
men	at	the	upper	part	of	the	range	and	women	at	the	lower	end. In	food	terms,
there	are	about	twelve	grams	of	protein	in	100	calories	of	spinach	(fifteen
ounces)	and	five	grams	of	protein	in	100	calories	of	raw	chick	peas	(just	over
two	tablespoons). There	are	about	thirteen	grams	of	protein	in	100	calories	of
porterhouse	steak	(just	over	one	and	a	half	ounces). Yet	another	question	was	whether	protein	intake	could	modify	the	all-
important	relationship	between	aflatoxin	dose	and	foci	formation. A	chemical
is	usually	not	considered	a	carcinogen	unless	higher	doses	yield	higher
incidences	of	cancer. For	example,	as	the	aflatoxin	dose	becomes	greater,	foci
and	tumor	growth	should	be	correspondingly	g

Government:	Is	It	for	the	People? D
URING	THE	PAST	TWO	TO	THREE	DECADES
,	we	have	acquired	substantial
evidence	that	most	chronic	diseases	in	America	can	be	partially	attributed	to
bad	nutrition. Expert	government	panels	have	said	it,	the	surgeon	general	has
said	it	and	academic	scientists	have	said	it. More	people	die	because	of	the
way	they	eat	than	by	tobacco	use,	accidents	or	any	other	lifestyle	or
environmental	factor. We	know	that	the	incidence	of	obesity	and	diabetes	is
skyrocketing	and	that	Americans’	health	is	slipping	away,	and	we	know	what
to	blame:	diet. So	shouldn’t	the	government	be	leading	us	to	better	nutrition? There	is	nothing	better	the	government	could	do	that	would	prevent	more	pain
and	suffering	in	this	country	than	telling	Americans	unequivocally	to	eat	less
animal	products,	less	highly-refined	plant	products	and	more	whole,	plant-
based	foods. It	is	a	message	soundly	based	on	the	breadth	and	depth	of
scientific	evidence,	and	the	government	could	make	this	clear,	as	it	did	with
cigarettes. Cigarettes	kill,	and	so	do	these	bad	foods. But	instead	of	doing	this,
the	government	is	saying	that	animal	products,	dairy	and	meat,	refined	sugar
and	fat	in	your	diet	are	good	for	you! The	government	is	turning	a	blind	eye
to	the	evidence	as	well	as	to	the	millions	of	Americans	who	suffer	from
nutrition-related	illnesses. The	covenant	of	trust	between	the	U.S.	government
and	the	American	citizen	has	been	broken. The	United
States	government	is
not	only	failing	to	put	out	our	fires,	it	is	actively	fanning	the	flames.DIETARY	RANGES:	THE	LATEST	ASSAULT
The	Food	and	Nutrition	Board	(FNB),	as	part	of	the	Institute	of	Medicine
(IOM)	of	the	National	Academy	of	Sciences,	has	the	responsibility	every	five
years	or	so	to	review	and	update	the	recommended	consumption	of	individual
nutrients. The	FNB	has	been	making	nutrient	recommendations	since	1943
when	it	established	a	plan	for	the	U.S.	Armed	Forces	wherein	it
recommended	daily	allowances	(RDAs)	for	each	individual	nutrient. In	the	most	recent	FNB	report,
1
	published	in	2002,	nutrient
recommendations	are	presented	as	ranges	instead	of	single	numbers,	as	was
the	practice	until	2002. For	good	health,	we	are	now	advised	to	consume	from
45%	to	65%	of	our	calories	as	carbohydrates. There	are	ranges	for	fat	and
protein	as	well. A	few	quotes	from	the	news	release	announcing	this	massive	900+	page
report	say	it	all. Here	is	the	first	sentence	in	the	news	release

To	meet	the	body’s	daily	energy	and	nutritional	needs	while
minimizing	risk	for	chronic	disease,	adults	should	get	45%	to	65%	of
their	calories	from	carbohydrates,	20%	to	35%	from	fat	and	10%	to
35%	from	protein…. Further,	we	find:
…	added	sugars	should	comprise	no	more	than	25%	of	total	calories
consumed.…	added	sugars	are	those	incorporated	into	foods	and
beverages	during	production	[and]	major	sources	include	candy,	soft
drinks,	fruit	drinks,	pastries	and	other	sweets. 2
Let’s	take	a	closer	look. What	are	these	recommendations	really	saying? Remember,	the	news	release	starts	off	by	stating	the	report’s	objective	of
“minimizing	risk	for	chronic	disease.”

	This	report	says	that	we	can	consume
a	diet	containing	up	to	35%	of	calories	as	fat;	this	is	up	from	the	30%	limit	of
previous	reports. It	also	recommends	that	we	can	consume	up	to	35%	of
calories	as	protein;	this	number	is	far	higher	than	the	suggestion	of	any	other
responsible	authority. The	last	recommendation	puts	the	frosting	on	the	cake,	so	to	speak. We
can	consume	up	to	25%	of	calories	as	added	sugars. Remember,	sugars	are
the	most	refined	type	of	carbohydrates. In	effect,	although
the	report	advises
that	we	need	a	minimum	of	45%	of	calories	as	carbohydrates,	more	than	half
of	this	amount	(i.e.,	25%)	can	be	the	sugars	present	in	candies,	soft	drinks	andpastries. The	critical	assumption	of	this	report	is	this:	the	American	diet	is	not
only	the	best	there	is,	but	you	should	now	feel	free	to	eat	an	even	richer	diet
and	still	be	confident	that	you	are	“minimizing	risk	for	chronic	disease.”
Forget	any	words	of	caution	you	may	find	in	this	report—with	such	a	range	of
possibilities,	virtually	any	diet	can	be	advocated	as	minimizing	disease	risk. You	may	have	trouble	getting	your	mind	around	what	these	figures	mean
in	everyday	terms,	so	I	have	prepared	the	following	menu	plan	that	supplies
nutrients	in	accordance	with	these	guidelines	(

Folks,	I’m	not	kidding. This	disastrous	menu	plan	fits	the
recommendations	of	the	report	and	is	supposedly	consistent	with	“minimizing
chronic	disease.”
What’s	amazing	is	that	I	could	put	together	a	variety	of	menus,	all
drenched	in	animal	foods	and	added	sugars,	that	conform	to	these
recommended	daily	allowances. At	this	point	in	the	book,	I	don’t	need	to	tellyou	that	when	we	eat	a	diet	like	this	day	in	and	day	out,	we	will	be	not	just

 other uncooked
desserts. RAW BUTTER
   For making unpasteurized, unsalted butter and real
buttermilk, follow this procedure. Fill butter churn one-half full with sweet cream or mildly soured cream. Place churn jar
in larger jar containing warm or cold water, and heat or cool
cream to temperature of 55 degrees E to 60 degrees E Turn crank of churn at the rate of about 70 to 90 revolutions per
minute until butter forms into granules about the size of rice. This usually requires about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove cap
and pour off buttermilk. Pour water into churn until the
granules float, and turn crank gently until all remaining buttermilk is washed from butter. Pour off buttermilk again,
and remove butter from churn. Form butter into individual
pieces of convenient shape and size, and wrap in wax paper. Store in refrigerator and use as needed. If no butter churn is available, raw butter may also be made
in smaller batches with the use of an egg beater and mixing
bowl. Follow same procedure as with churn, except beat cream with egg beater. When butter is formed, pour off milk,
wash butter with water, wrap product in wax paper, and store under refrigeration. CLABBER MILK
   Put 1 or 2 quarts of raw milk into a bowl and heat to 80
degrees E Cover with towel to assure cleanliness, and allow
to set until converted to clabber and whey. Clabber milk may be consumed without further preparation,
or both the clabber and whe y may be beaten in an electric blender or with an egg beater until it is uniform in
consistency and frothy. Clabber milk may be made from whole milk or skim milk. If it is made from ordinary raw milk, it will set under natural
conditions. If it is made from certified raw milk, which is too
low in bacterial count to allow souring, about two table-spoons of commercial buttermilk must be added to each quart
of sweet milk to induce souring. If this is not done, the milk will putrefy rather than sour. COTTAGE CHEESE
   Pour 2 quarts of raw skim milk into bowl and heat to
temperature of 80 degrees F. Set aside at warm room
temperature and cover with light towel. When milk has
turned into sour clabber, pour into colander and allow to drain
until all liquid is gone. The solid clabber remaining in the
colander is cottage cheese. It should be stirred to improve consistency, and can be served immediately or kept under
refrigeration for later use. For creamed cottage cheese, mix
with a moderate quantity of sweet cream. Caraway seeds or
chopped chives may be added for extra flavor. As with clabber milk, if cottage cheese is made from raw
certified milk of low bacterial count, a little commercial
buttermilk will have to be added to the milk at the outset in
order to promote souring. HOME-MADE ICE CREAM
2 eggs, well beaten             1 pint milk
   Add honey to the milk, stirring vigorously. Slowly add the
eggs which have been beaten until thick, and stir constantly
as the eggs are added. Cool the mixture and then stir in the cream. A regular ice cream freezer, either hand operated or
electrically operated, may be used. Fill the freezer can about two-thirds full with the mixture and place both can and
turning crank into position in the freezer. Fill area around
freezing can about one-third full of crushed ice; then fill
remaining area with mixture of 4 parts crushed ice and 1 part
coarse salt. Turn crank and freeze. When ice cream is frozen, drain off water, take out dasher and remove contents for
serving. If mixture is to be kept frozen in freezer, remove
 dasher, pack mixture down solidly with spoon. Repack, and
cover freezer with newspapers or heavy cloth. For making flavored ice cream follow the basic recipe
except that substitutions and additions may be made as
follows. For fruit flavorings, substitute two cups of finely
mashed fruits (strawberries, raspberries, bananas, oranges, or any other fruit that is desired) for two cups of milk given in
the basic recipe. The fruits may also be brought to the proper
texture by being beaten in a liquefier for a few moments, or if
preferred, the juices of the fruits may be used instead of the
whole fruit. When black walnuts or other kinds of nuts are used, they may simply be added to the basic mixture, using
one cup of chopped nuts for each batch of ice cream. For date
flavored ice cream, pure date syrup may be added to the basic
mixture in similar or smaller amounts, depending upon the strength of flavor desired. REFRIGERATOR ICE CREAM
   Perfect ice cream may be made in the refrigerator providing
you have a special ice cream freezer which is designed for
use in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. This
freezer has a one or two quart container in which the ice cream mixture is placed. An electric cord extends from the
freezer through the refrigerator door, and is plugged in a wall
socket. The freezer thus operates electrically, and turns the
ice cream mixture by the use of paddles located in the
container. Within about 45 minutes to one hour the ice cream is frozen into an ideal consistency, equal to the very best that
can be obtained with any other method. The recipe for refrigerator ice cream is exactly the same as
used for the regular home-made ice cream. In making
refrigerator ice cream, pour mixture into freezer container and
place at least two tablespoons of water on the surface of the
refrigerator freezer compartment. Place the electric freezer on this wet surface, and turn the refrigerator to its coldest setting. Connect the cord plug and let freezer operate as specified. When ice cream is done, paddles will stop turning, and
contents may be removed and served immediately. HONEY DESSERT
2 cups chopped English             ¼ cup honey
   walnuts                                    1 teaspoon lime juice
1 cup whipped cream
   Mix nut meats, honey, and lime juice together in mixing
bowl. Place in dessert cups, and cover with whipped cream. Garnish each serving with a large nut meat. DATE PUDDING
2 cups chopped pitted dates       1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cups whipped cream               ½  cup chopped pecans
   Combine dates, cream, and nut meats, and pour lemon juice
over top. Chill in refrigerator before serving. FRESH PEACH PUDDING
6 peaches, mashed              2 tablespoons honey
1 cup whipped cream         ½ cup ground butternuts
1 cup peach ice cream
   Place mashed peaches in refrigerator to chill. Remove when
cold and combine with whipped cream. Add nuts and honey,
and place in dessert dishes. Cover each serving with a little ice cream. PEACH-BERRY DESSERT
4 large ripe peaches               ¼ cup blueberries
¼ cup blackberries                ¼ cup raspberries
¼ cup cherries
   Peel the peaches, cut in halves, and remove the stones. Place two halves on each dessert plate, and fill the halves
with the mixture of berries. Top with whipped cream or ice
cream, and sprinkle with grated nuts. MELON DELIGHT
2 honeydew melons               2 large bananas
2 cups fresh strawberries       1 large avocado
   Dice bananas and avocado. Cut melons in halves, and serve
one half on each plate. Fill melon centers with the mixture of
strawberries, bananas, and avocados. FRUIT COCTAIL
1 cup diced peaches            1 cup pitted cherries
1 cup diced pears                1 cup strawberry juice
1 cup diced pineapple          2 tablespoons honey
   Mix all ingredients together and serve in sherbet glasses. UNCOOKED APPLE PIE
1 cup whole wheat flour            4 cups grated apples
½ cup ground dates                ½ cup honey
¼ cup almond butter                1 cup whipped cream
   Mix flour, dates, and almond butter together for pie crust. Roll out dough on wax paper. Invert paper over nine-inch pie
plate, and line the plate with dough. Press down around edges
and trim. Grate apples coarsely and mix with honey. Drain
off liquid and fill pie shell with the grated apple mixture. Cover filling with layer of whipped cream, and then sprinkle
with grated nut meats. For other fruit pies, use same pie crust recipe, and fill in
shell with banana slices, peach slices, berries, or other fruit of
choice (sweetened with honey). If top pie crust is desired, this
may be rolled out on wax paper, as for lower crust, and inverted over filling. Whipped cream covering is then
optional. C

 with meals over a period of 30 days. You can add more ju ice to
your diet during that time, and you should always take juice after the bulk a nd clay water. If it is possible, get into some extra
bowel elimination through enemas, perhaps using clay water and coffee instead of plain water. This is a kind of elimination
program you can use while still working at your regular job. There are other w ays to help the bowel, and I have mentioned taking
care of the mental attitudes as well as conditions in the body. Both are very important. THE BENEFITS OF ALFALFA TABLETS
The second thing I emphasize in the bowel management program is the taking of four alfalfa tablets with each meal. As far as I am
concerned, this is almost a panacea. Some health professionals may think I’m going a bit overboard, but I want to tell you th at
alfalfa tablets provide an excellent natural fiber bulk, and by stimulating the b owel to work against the fiber, we begin to
compensate for inherent weakness, by building better tone. Juice is not suitable for this purpose because pulp or bulk is nec essary. Some will say that you should take the alfalfa tablets along with additional ch lorophyll; I don’t find this necessary, because there is
chlorophyll in the alfalfa tablets as well. Chlorophyll is a great deodorizer, a great builder, a great acid neutralizer and one of the
greatest foods for feeding acidophilus bacteria. I use alfalfa tablets mainly to get into the bowel pockets. I am sure this approach is
right, because since beginning to use it, I have observed more healing signs associated with the bowel from my iridology anal yses
than anything I have ever used. Of course, I’m kickin g a lazy dog; I’m kicking a lazy colon. Now, we may encounter a few minor
problems. There may be more gas, more disturbance and when we have more gas, what can we do? We have to neutralize the gas,
so I suggest adding a good digestant. The digestant should  be a whole digestant that takes care of starches, sugars and proteins. It is
made of pancreatic substance and a little betaine hydrochloric acid. It is an all -around good digestant, but vegetarians might prefer
to use the herbal digestants available. For  vegetarians we recommend a substance called D&F, short for digestion and flatulence
(gas), because we may begin to stir these up when we get into the bowel pockets. I know of patients who began their diets and
reported they had more gas than ever before. This is sometimes to be expected. Some people practically live on coffee and donuts,
and they find they don’t have gas, but they are worn out. They have no energy. You have to “rough it out” through this initia l
period of regeneration —this period of making  new tissue - before your digestive system will normalize. A certain amount of gas is normal for the average person. I don’t believe anybody has a perfect bowel. I think a little gas w ill be
produced by anyone, and every farmer knows that when you give a lot of fresh alfalfa to a horse he has more gas than usual. Is that
horse getting worse? No, it is in better condition. We find that it has a better bowel. So I believe alfalfa tablets and the digestant are
very important. We find that the acidophilus cult ure, given morning and evening, is an excellent way of developing good bacteria
in the bowel. At the Battle Creek Sanitarium, researchers found that meat was very detrimental to the bowel because it is ver y
putrefactive. It is best to cut meat to a minimum  in the diet and to upgrade the intake of vegetables. More greens will help to
develop acidophilus bacteria. Chocolate, tea (not herb teas), white sugar and coffee break down acidophilus bacteria so we mu st
eliminate or minimize the use of such substances. A successful bowel management program requires that we go a different way. In following a program for the bowel, there are some excellent corrective exercises. There is an exercise to use on the slant  board
which involves vigorous tapping of the abdomen w hile stretching the upper torso from side to side. This exercise gently pulls the
bowel down in the direction of the shoulders while upside -down on the board. I’m interested in getting the bowel in the prefer
position. I believe we have been crowding the b owel. So we must go to work on it. Doing the bicycle pedaling exercise while up -side down on the slant board is a wonderful exercise. For another type of exercise,
lie down and take a rubber bailor tennis ball and rub it around in a circle on your abdomen. The round surface of the ball gets right
down into the bowel and gives it an internal exercise, more so than rubbing on the outside. There are other exercises to lift  the
bowel and manipulate the prolapsus back into position. SLANT BOARD EXERCISES
(For Prolapsus and Regenerating the Vital Nerve Centers of the Brain) When there is a lack of tone in the muscles, we can expect
prolapsus of the abdominal organs. The heart, lacking tone, cannot circulate blood properly throughout the body. Likewise,
arteries  and veins cannot contract to help the blood fight gravity and get into the brain tissues. There are some people who
apparently have tried everything to get well, who still find all organs working under par. Many people do not realize that th e
quickening f orce for every organ of the body comes from the brain. People whose occupations require them to sit or stand
continually are unable to get the blood into the brain tissues because the tired organs cannot force the blood uphill. If we deny the
brain tissues  good blood in the proper amount, eventually every organ in our body will suffer. The heart gets its start from the
brain and continues its everlasting pumping because of it. No organ can do without the brain. I attribute the success of my h ealing
work to the very fact that I definitely recognize that the brain must be fed properly. Slanting board exercises are absolutely
necessary to regain perfect health. CAUTIONARY NOTE
There are many cases where the board is contra -indicated. It is best in most cases to get professional advice, for some people have
had unhappy experiences due to the very fact they started too strenuous a program to begin with. If you haven’t done much
exercising of the abdominal muscles, it is best to take these exercises slowly and gr adually increase them as you get stronger. Do not use the board in cases of high blood pressure, hemorrhages, some tubercular conditions, cancer in the pelvic cavity,
appendicitis, ulcers of the stomach or intestines or pregnancy, unless under the care of a physician. The slanting board exercises
are practically the same as any other lying -down exercises. The most important exercise is to hold on to the sides of the board bringing the knees up to the chest. This forces all the a bdominal
organs up toward th e shoulders. While in this position, twist the head from side to side and in all directions, thus utilizing the extra
force to circulate blood to congested areas of the head, especially bringing the stomach and abdominal organs up toward the c hest
while ho lding the breath. Slanting board exercises are especially good in cases of inflammations and congestions above the
shoulders, such as sinus trouble, bad eyes, falling hair, head eczema, ear conditions and similar troubles. Slanting board ex ercise is
needed  and has helped more than any other treatment in cases of heart trouble, fatigue, dizziness, poor memory and paralysis. The
average person should maintain the foot end of the board at chair height for all exercises, but if dizzy at first, the foot e nd of t he
board should not be raised quite so high. Exercise only 5 minutes a day. Gradually increase time spent on the board. The aver age
patient should lie on the board 10 minutes at 3 o’clock in the afternoon and again just before going to bed. After retiring,  lift the
buttocks to allow the organs to return to a normal position. SUGGESTED EXERCISES (USE ANKLE STRAPS WHILE DOING THE FOLLOWING EXERCISES)
(Numbered exercises correspond to illustrations.) 1. Lie full length, allowing gravity to help the abdominal organs into their position. For best results, lie on board at least 10
minutes. 2. While lying flat on back, stretch the abdomen by putting arms above head. Bring arms above head 10 to 15 times: this stret ches
the abdominal muscles and pulls the abdomen do wn toward the shoulders. 3. Bring abdominal organs toward shoulders while holding breath. Move the organs back and forth by drawing them upward,
contracting abdominal muscles, then allowing them to go back to a relaxed position. Do this 10 to 15 times. 4. Pat abdomen vigorously with open hands. Lean to one side then to the other, patting the stretched side. Pat 10 to 15 times ea ch
side. Bring the body to sitting position, using the abdominal muscles. Return to lying position. Do this 3 to 4 times, if pos sible. Do
only if doctor orders. HOLD ON TO THE HANDLES, FEET OUT OF STRAPS, WHILE DOING THESE EXERCISES:
5. Bend knees and legs at hips. While in this position:


but a moment ago returns from the hunt. You no sooner gave the blessing
– felt the imaginary state to be real – then the objective world, which
seemingly was unreal, returns. It does not speak to you with words as
recorded of Esau, but the very room round about you tells you by its
presence that you have been self-deceived. It tells you that when you lost yourself in contemplation, feeling that you
were now what you wanted to be, feeling that you now possess what you
desire to possess, that you were simply deceiving self. Look at this room. It denies that you are elsewhere. If you know the law, you now say: “Even though your brother came
through subtlety and betrayed me and took your birthright, I gave him
your blessing and I cannot retract. ”
In other words, you remain faithful to this subjective reality and you do
not take back from it the power of birth. You gave it the right of birth and
it is going to become objective within this world of yours. There is no
room in this limited space of yours for two things to occupy the same
space at the same time. By making the subjective real it resurrects itself
within your world. Take the idea that you want to embody, and assume that you are already
it. Lose yourself in feeling this assumption is solidly real. As you give it
this sense of reality, you have given it the blessing which belongs to the
objective world, and you do not have to aid its birth any more than you
have to aid the birth of a child or a seed you plant in the ground. The
seed you plant grows unaided by a man, for it contains within itself all the
power and all the plans necessary for self-expression. You can this night re-enact the drama of Isaac blessing his second son
and see what happens in the immediate future in your world. Your present
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenenvironment vanishes, all the circumstances of life change and make way
for the coming of that to which you have given your life. As you walk,
knowing that you are what you wanted to be, you objectify it without the
assistance of another. *****
The fourth story for tonight is taken from the last of the books attributed
to Moses. If you need proof that Moses did not write it, read the story
carefully. It is found in the 34th chapter of the book of Deuteronomy. Ask
any priest or rabbi, 'who is the author of this book. ', and they will tell you
that Moses wrote it. In the 34th chapter of Deuteronomy you will read of a man writing his own
obituary, that is, Moses wrote this chapter. A man may sit down and write
what he would like to have placed upon his tombstone, but here is a man
who writes his own obituary. And then he dies and so completely rubs
himself out that he defies posterity to find where he has buried himself. “So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, accord -
ing to the word of the Lord. And he buried him in the valley in the land of
Moab, over against Beth-poer: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre until
this day. And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died;
his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. ” (Deut. 34:5, 6, 7). You must this night – not tomorrow – learn the technique of writing your
own obituary and so completely die to what you are that no man in this
world can tell you whore you buried the old man. If you are now ill and
you become well, and I know you by reason of the fact that you are ill,
where can you point and tell me you buried the sick one. If you are impoverished and borrow from every friend you have, and then
suddenly you roll in wealth, where did you bury the poor man. You so
completely rub out poverty in your mind's eye that there is nothing in this
world you can point to and claim, that is where I left it. A complete trans -
formation of consciousness rubs out all evidence that anything other than
this ever existed in the world. The most beautiful technique for the realizing of man's objective is given
in the first verse of the 34th chapter of Deuteronomy:
“And Moses went up from the Plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo,
to the top of Pisgah, that is over again Jericho. And the Lord showed him
all the land of Gilead, unto Dan. ”
You read that verse and say, “So what. ” But take a concordance and look
up the words. The first word, Moses, means to draw out, to rescue, to lift
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenout, to fetch. In other words, Moses is the personification of the power in
man that can draw out of man that which he seeks, for everything comes
from within, not from without. You draw from within yourself that which
you now want to express as something objective to yourself. You are Moses coming out of the plains of Moab. The word Moab is a con -
traction of two Hebraic words, Mem and Ab, meaning mother-father. Your
consciousness is the mother-father, there is no other cause in the world. Your I Amness, your awareness, is this Moab or mother-father. You are al -
ways drawing something out of it. The next word is Nebo. In your concordance Nebo is defined as a prophe -
cy. A prophecy is something subjective. If I say, “So-and-so will be,” it is
an image in the mind; it is not yet a fact. We must wait and either prove
or disprove this prophecy. In our language Nebo is your wish, your desire. It is called a mountain
because it is something that appears difficult to ascend and is therefore
seemingly impossible of realization. A mountain is something bigger than
you are, it towers over you. Nebo personifies that which you want to be in
contrast to that which you are. The word Pisgah, by definition, is to contemplate. Jericho is a fragrant
odor. And Gilead means the hills of witnesses. The last word is Dan the
Prophet. Now put them all together in a practical sense and see what the ancients
tried to tell us. As I stand here, having discovered that my consciousness
is God, and that I can, by simply feeling that I am what I want to be,
transform myself into the likeness of that which I am assuming I am; I
know now that I am all that it takes to scale this mountain. I define my objective. I do not call it Nebo. I call it my desire. Whatever I
want, that is my Nebo, that is my great mountain that I am going to
scale. I now begin to contemplate it, for I shall climb to the peak of Pis -
gah. I must contemplate my objective in such a manner that I get the reaction
that satisfies. If I do not get the reaction that pleases then Jericho is not
seen, for Jericho is a fragrant odor. When I feel that I am what I want to be I cannot suppress the joy that
comes with that feeling. I must always contemplate my objective until I get the feeling of satisfac -
tion personified as Jericho. Then I do nothing to make it visible in my
world; for the hills of Gilead, meaning men, women, children, the whole
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenvast world round about me, come bearing witness. They come to testify
that I am what I have assumed myself to be, and am sustaining within
myself. When my world conforms to my assumption the prophecy is ful -
filled. If I now know what I want to be, and assume that I am it, and walk as
though I were, I become it and becoming it I so completely die to my for -
mer concept of self that I cannot point to any place in this world and say:
that is where my former self is buried. I so completely died that I defy
posterity to ever find where I buried my old self. There must be someone in this room who will so completely transform
himself in this world that his close immediate circle of friends will not rec -
ognize him. For ten years I was a dancer, dancing in Broadway shows, in vaudeville,
night clubs and in Europe. There was a time in my life when I thought I
could not live without certain friends in my world. I would spread a table
every night after the theater and we would all dine well. I thought I could
never live without them. Now I confess I could not live with them. We
have nothing in common today. When we meet we do not purposely walk
on the opposite side of the street, but it is almost a cold meeting because
we have nothing to discuss. I so died to that life that as I meet these peo -
ple they cannot even talk of the old times. But there are people living today who are still living in that state, getting
poorer and poorer. They always like to talk about the old times. They nev -
er buried that man at all, he is very much alive within their world. Moses was 120 years, a full, wonderful age as 120 indicates. One plus two


. Meditation quiets your mind, helps
you control your thoughts, and revitalizes your body. The great
news is that you don't have to set aside hours to meditate. Just
three to ten minutes a day to begin with, can be incredibly power-
ful for gaining control over your thoughts. To become aware of your thoughts, you can also set the intention,
"I am the master of my thoughts." Say it often, meditate on it, and
as you hold to that intention, by the law of attraction you must
become that. You are now receiving the knowledge that will enable you to create
the most magnificent version of You. The possibility of that version
of you already exists on the frequency of "the most magnificent
version of You." Decide what you want to be, do, and have, think
the thoughts of it, emit the frequency, and your vision will become
your life. replacing them with good thoughts. Time serves you because you
can think new thoughts and emit a new frequency, now! DR. JOE VITALE
You want to become aware of your thoughts and choose your
thoughts carefully and you want to have fun with this, because you
are the masterpiece of your own life. You are the Michelangelo of
your own life. The David you are sculpting is you. • The Great Secret of Life is the law of attraction. • The law of attraction says like attracts like, so when you think a
thought, you are also attracting like thoughts to you. • Thoughts are magnetic, and thoughts have a frequency. As you think
thoughts, they are sent out into the Universe, and they magnetically
attract all like things that are on the same frequency. Everything sent
out returns to the source—you. • You are like a human transmission tower, transmitting a frequency
with your thoughts. If you want to change anything in your life,
change the frequency by changing your thoughts. • Your current thoughts are creating your future life. What you think
about the most or focus on the most will appear as your life. • Your thoughts become things. 25 MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
We live in a universe in which there are laws, just as there is
a law of gravity. If you fail off a building it doesn't matter if
you're a good person or a had person, you're going to hit the
ground. The law of attraction is a law of nature. It is as impartial and imper-
sonal as the law of gravity is. It is precise, and it is exact
Everything that surrounds you right now in your life,
including the things you're complaining about, you've
attracted. Now I know at first blush that's going to
be something that you hate to hear. You're going to
immediately say, "I didn't attract the car accident. I didn't
attract this particular client who gives me a hard time. I
didn't particularly attract the debt." And I'm here to be
27 DR. JOE VlTALE a little bit in your face and to say, yes you did attract it. This is one of the hardest concepts to get, but once you've
accepted it, it's life transforming. Often when people first hear this part of the Secret they recall
events in history where masses of lives were lost, and they find
it incomprehensible that so many people could have attracted
themselves to the event. By the law of attraction, they had to be on
the same frequency as the event. It doesn't necessarily mean they
thought of that exact event, but the frequency of their thoughts
matched the frequency of the event. If people believe they can be
in the wrong place at the wrong time, and they have no control
over outside circumstances, those thoughts of fear, separation, and
powerlessness, if persistent, can attract them to being in the wrong
place at the wrong time. You have a choice right now. Do you want to believe that it's just
the luck of the draw and bad things can happen to you at any time? Do you want to believe that you can be in the wrong place at the
wrong time? That you have no control over circumstances? Or do you want to believe and know that your life experience is in
your hands and that only all good can come into your life because
that is the way you think? You have a choice, and whatever you
choose to think will become your life experience. Nothing can come into your experience unless you summon it
through persistent thoughts. The Secret The Secret Made Simple 29
BOB DOYLE
Most of us attract by default. We just think that we don't
have any control over it. Our thoughts and feelings are on
autopilot, and so everything is brought to us by default. No one would ever deliberately attract anything unwanted. Without the knowledge of The Secret, it is easy to see how some
unwanted things may have occurred in your life or other people's
lives. It simply came from a lack of awareness of the great creative
power of our thoughts. DR. JOE VlTALE
Now if this is your first time to hear this, it may feel like,
"Oh, I have to monitor my thoughts? This is going to be a lot
of work." It will seem like that at first, but that's where the
fun begins. The fun is that there are many shortcuts to The Secret, and you get
to choose the shortcuts that work best for you. Read on, and you'll
see how. AUTHOR, INTERNATIONAL SPEAKER, AND
TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADER
It's impossible to monitor every thought we have. Researchers tell us that we have about sixty thousand
thoughts a day. Can you imagine how exhausted you'd MARCI SHIMOFF 30 The Secret
feel trying to control all sixty thousand of those thoughts? Fortunately there's an easier way, and it's our feelings. Our
feelings let us know what we're thinking. The importance of feelings cannot be overstated. Your feelings are
your greatest tool to help you create your life. Your thoughts are
the primary cause of everything. Everything else you see and ex-
perience in this world is effect, and that includes your feelings. The
cause is always your thoughts. BOB DOYLE
/ The emotions are an incredible gift that we have to let us
know what we're thinking. Your feelings tell you very quickly what you're thinking. Think
about when your feelings suddenly took a dive—maybe when you
heard some bad news. That feeling in your stomach or solar plexus
was instant. So your feelings are an immediate signal for you to
know what you are thinking. You want to become aware of how you're feeling, and get in tune
with how you're feeling, because it is the fastest way for you to
know what you're thinking. LISA NICHOLS
You have two sets of feelings: good feelings and bad feelings. And you know the difference between the two because one
makes you feel good, and the other makes you feel bad. It's the
depression, it's the anger, it's the resentment, it's the guilt. It's The Secret Made Simple 31
those feelings that don't make you feel empowered. Those are
the bad feelings. No one can tell you whether you are feeling good or bad, because
you are the only one who knows how you're feeling at any time. If
you're not sure how you're feeling, just ask yourself, "How am I
feeling?" You can stop and ask this question often during the day,
and as you do you will become more aware of how you're feeling. The most important thing for you to know is that it is impossible
to feel bad and at the same time be having good thoughts. That
would defy the law, because your thoughts cause your feelings. If
you are feeling bad, it is because you are thinking thoughts that are
making you feel bad. Your thoughts determine your frequency, and your feelings tell you
immediately what frequency you are on. When you are feeling bad,
you are on the frequency of drawing more bad things. The law of
attraction must respond by broadcasting back to you more pictures
of bad things and things that will make you feel bad. As you feel bad, and don't make any effort to change your thoughts
and feel better, you are in effect saying, "Bring me more circum-
stances that will make me feel bad. Bring it on!" LISA NICHOLS
The flipside to that is that you have good emotions and good
feelings. You know when they come because they make you
feel good. Excitement, joy, gratitude, love. Imagine if we could 32 The Secret
feel that way every day. When you celebrate the good feelings,
you'll draw to you more good feelings, and things that make
you feel good. BOB DOYLE
It's really so simple. "What am I attracting right now? " Well,
how do you feel? "I feel good." Well good, keep doing that. It is impossible to feel good and at the same time be having nega-
tive thoughts. If you are feeling good, it is because you are thinking
good thoughts. You see, you can have whatever you want in your
life, no limits. But there's one catch: You have to feel good. And
when you think about it, isn't that all you ever want? The law is
indeed perfect. MARCLSHIMOFF
If you're feeling good, then you're creating a future that's on
track with your desires. If you're feeling bad, you're creating
a future


 Eskimos. Doubtless, all have been relatively authentic for the groups
studied, which have been chiefly along the routes of commerce. Clearly those people would not
represent the most primitive groups, which could only be located beyond the reach of contact with
modern civilization. The problems involved strongly suggested the desirability of locating and
studying Eskimos in isolated districts. While dog teams could furnish means of approach in the
winter season, they would not be available for summer travel. Through the kindness of Dr. Alexis Hrdlicka, who has made anthropological studies of the
Eskimos in many of the districts of Alaska, I learned that the most primitive groups were located
south of the Yukon in the country between it and Bristol Bay including the Delta and mouth of the
Kuskokwim River. A government station has been established on the Kuskokwim River for which
a government boat enters the mouth of the Kuskokwim to deliver supplies. It carries officials, but
not passengers. This contact with civilization has made available modern foods for a limited district,
chiefly at the point at which the boat lands, namely, Bethel. A portion of these supplies is
transported by a stern-wheel river boat to settlements farther up the river. A great number,
however, of Eskimos live between the mouth of the Kuskokwim and the mouth of the Yukon
River, on the mainland and islands, a distance of several hundred miles, and have little or no
contact with this food. Accordingly, our program for making these field studies among the Eskimos in 1933 required
transportation over long distances and into districts where travelling facilities were practically non-
existent by other means than by modern aeroplane. Mrs. Price accompanies and assists me with
my records. Our itinerary included steamship service to Seward in western Alaska and railway to
Anchorage, where an aeroplane was chartered which carried us to various districts in western and
central Alaska. This plane carried our field equipment, and travelled to the points selected. The
great Alaska mountain range, culminating in the magnificent Mt. McKinley, stretches across Alaska
from the Aleutian Peninsula at the southwest far into the heart of this vast territory. The highest
mountain in the United States proper is Mt. Whitney, 14,502 feet. The highest mountain in Canada
is Mt. Logan, 19,539 feet. Alaska, however, boasts many mountains that are higher than any of
these, many of which are in this range. Mt. McKinley is 20,300 feet. It was necessary for us to7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 43/250surmount this magnificent range to reach the territory in which our investigations were to be made. The special aeroplane selected was equipped with radio for both sending and receiving, and was in
touch, or could be in touch at all times, with the Signal Service Corps, as well as with the
headquarters and branches of the Company. Owing to clouds in the selected pass, the pilot found
it necessary to go one hundred fifty miles out of his course to find one that was clear enough to fly
through. Beyond these mountains were vast areas of bare wilderness with no signs of human life. Moose were frequently seen. Our first objective was to find, if possible, a band of Indians reported to live on Stony River. They had been described as being very primitive. Our pilot, who was well informed about this
region, said this was the first time he had even landed in this district. All the people were busy
catching and storing the running salmon. After drying the fish they are smoked for a few hours and
then stored for winter use. These thrifty people have physical features quite unlike the Indians of
central, southern and eastern Alaska. Of the twelve individuals studied here, ten had lived entirely
on the native foods or practically so. In their 288 teeth only one tooth was found that had ever
been attacked by tooth decay, or 0.3 per cent. Two had come up from the Kuskokwim River, of
which the Stony River is a branch. There, they had received a considerable quantity of the "store
grub" that had been shipped up the Kuskokwim from Bethel. Twenty-seven per cent of the teeth
of these two had been attacked by dental caries. We then proceeded to Sleet Mute, on the Kuskokwim River, where three individuals were
found who had lived entirely on native foods. None of them had ever had a tooth attacked by
tooth decay. Seven others had lived partly on native foods and partly on "store grub," and they had
dental caries in 12.2 per cent of their teeth. At Crooked Creek, the next settlement, eight individuals were examined and of their 216 teeth
forty-one, or 18.9 per cent, had caries. All but one of these were living in considerable part on
"store grub," and this individual had no dental caries. At Napimute, 16 per cent of the teeth had been attacked by dental caries, but no individuals
studied here were living entirely on native foods. Bethel is the largest settlement on the Kuskokwim, and contains in addition to the white
residents many visiting Eskimos from the nearby Tundra country surrounding it. Eighty-eight
individuals studied here were largely Eskimos and mixed bloods. Of their 2,490 teeth, 11.6 per
cent, or 281 teeth, had been attacked by tooth decay. Of these eighty-eight individuals twenty-
seven with 796 teeth had lived almost exclusively on natural foods, and in this group only one tooth
was found with dental caries, or 0.1 per cent. Forty individuals were living almost exclusively on
modern foods as shipped in by the government supply boat. Of their 1,094 teeth, 252, or 21.1 per
cent, had been attacked by tooth decay. Twenty-one individuals were living partly on native foods
and partly on "store grub," and of their 600 teeth thirty-eight, or 6.3 per cent, had been attacked
by tooth decay. At Kokamute, on the Bering Sea at the mouth of the Kuskokwim River, a large band of very
primitive Eskimos was studied. They had come from the vicinity of Nelson Island, a district which
has had exceedingly little contact with modern civilization. In this group twenty-eight individuals
with 820 teeth showed only one tooth, or 0.1 per cent, that had ever been attacked by dental
caries. Bethel Island is situated in the Kuskokwim River. It is visited in the summer by Eskimos from
the Tundra Country for laying in their store of fish for winter use. Of fifteen individuals here,
thirteen, with 410 teeth, had lived exclusively on native foods, and not a single tooth had been
attacked by dental caries. Two had come from Bethel, and of their sixty teeth twenty-one or 35
per cent had been attacked by tooth decay. In the various groups in the lower Kuskokwim seventy-two individuals who were living
exclusively on native foods had in their 2,138 teeth only two teeth or 0.09 per cent that had ever7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 44/250been attacked by tooth decay. In this district eighty-one individuals were studied who had been
living in part or in considerable part on modern foods, and of their 2,254 teeth 394 or 13 per cent
had been attacked by dental caries. This represents an increase in dental caries of 144 fold. It next became desirable to study a district that had been in contact with the foods of modern
commerce for many years, and for this Holy Cross was selected. This community is located on the
Yukon River above the Arctic Circle. It has been in contact with the summer commerce of the
Yukon for several decades. It has one of the oldest and best organized Catholic Missions of
Alaska. The individuals studied were all in the school connected with the Mission. The students
had come from as far north as Point Barrow on the Arctic Ocean and west to the Bering Straits. All but one had been in contact with and had used modern foods before coming to the Mission,
and were using them while there. This one individual had lived exclusively on native foods before
coming to the Mission and he had no carious teeth. In eight individuals with 224 teeth, who had
lived very largely on modern foods, forty-two teeth or 18.7 per cent had been attacked by tooth
decay. Four individuals had lived partly on native foods and partly on modern foods, and of their
112 teeth four, or 3.5 per cent, had been attacked by tooth decay. It is of interest that while the Eskimos and Indians have lived in accord, they have not
intermarried. The Eskimos occupy the lower section of the Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers, and
the Bering Sea frontier. The Indians have occupied the Upper waterways of both these rivers. The
next place selected for study was McGrath, which is on the Upper Kuskokwim not far distant
from the McKinley Mountain Range. It is the upper terminus of navigation on the Kuskokwim
River for the stern-wheel river boats. Its chief importance lies in the fact that it is the division point
on the Cross Alaska Aeroplane
