 their first impulse istoflee. Modern man, however,has
fears about theintangibles inlife.Most ofhisfears areduetointernal factors, notexter-
nal, and he cannot run away from them.
Although human fears have moved away from concern about thewild jungle animals
toworries over mortgage payments, etc., thephysiological responses tothese fears have
not changed in millions of years.Panic isanextreme manifestation offear,anditisinstructive totrace thephysiolog-
ical changes in the or ganism that accompany this emotion.
Assoon asathreat totheorganism ismanifested asastrong fear,acomplex chain
of events begins that eventually af fects every cell in the body.
First, thehypothalamus gland near thebrain transmits aseries ofstrong signals
through thespinal column tonerve centers throughout thebody.Inthethroat, large
amounts ofthyrotopic hormone isreleased into thesystem tostimulate theorganism.
Near thekidneys, aflood ofadrenocorticotropic hormone isproduced astheadrenal
glands arecalled into action. These hormones then trigger aseries ofprogrammed re-
sponses throughout the body.
Theblood vessels intheskin andthedigestive system under goarapid constriction to
direct theblood tothemuscles inthearms andlegs(hence, theterm “pale with fright”).
This prepares the body for the “flight or fight” response to the fear.
Simultaneously,thespleen iscontracting andpouring outalargeamount ofwhite
corpuscles andplatelets intothebloodstream inorder totake care ofanyanticipated in-
juries. The liver also forces outastream ofblood sugar tofeed theextreme demands
made by the aroused system.
Thesaliva inthemouth dries upsince there isnodesire forfood inthepresence of
fear.Thenostrils expand totake inmore oxygen andtheeyes dilate totake inmore vi-
sual stimuli. Inextreme fear,theabdominal gases move downward andforce anystool
or urine in the system out, thus lightening the body and preparing it for flight.
Theemotion offearproduces theproper physiological reactions inthebody sothat
itmay runquickly away orfight ifitiscornered. These types ofchanges inthebody are
actually very beneficial if there is an imminent danger of physical harm.
These same reactions occur,usually toalesser degree, foranintangible fearasfora
physical threat.
Ifweworry about billcollectors orrush-hour traffic,ourbodies gothrough similar
physiological reactions to when our lives are physically threatened.
Now let’ s look a little closer at the relationship between fear and digestion.
First, it is obvious that no one whose life is in danger is going to have an appetite.
Dr.Herbert M.Shelton once described anexperiment performed onacatthathad
justfinished eating. Thecat’sstomach wasobserved with Xrays, anddigestion waspro-
ceeding normally.Adogwas then brought into theroom andthecattook notice. Im-
mediately alldigestive processes inthecathalted. Itsstomach ceased moving andthe
digestive juices stopped secreting. When thedogwas removed, thecat’sdigestion re-
sumed.
Food cannot bedigested orassimilated inthepresence offear.Ifweeatwhen weare
worried, depressed, tense orfearful, thedigestive system cannot handle thefood proper-
ly. It may be only partially digested and lay fermenting or putrefying in the stomach.
Weshould never eatwhen weareemotionally upset or“out ofsorts.” Ifweareun-
comfortable inbody ormind, weshould noteatuntil wefeelbetter andregain ourpoise.
Additionally,itisnotagood idea totrytoeatwhile driving acar,discussing business
orpersonal problems, reading disturbing news, watching television orinanysituation
that may give rise to intense emotions.
16.3.2 How Positive Emotions Enhance Digestion
Several years ago, aman wasdiagnosed bythemedical profession ashaving termi-
nal cancer. He was told that he probably had about six months to live.
Hewas released from thehospital andheended hismedical treatment ashewent
back home tolive. Forthefirst month orso,hewasvery depressed andlaidinbedall
day watching television. He was in constant pain.
Each dayinthelateafternoon hewatched thecartoon programs ontelevision before
theevening news. Healways laughed atthecartoons andnoticed thatbytheendoftheshow hispain was notasnoticable. Itdidreturn, however,ashewatched theevening
news.
Hedecided thatthere might bearelationship between hislaughing andthesubsi-
dence ofpain. Heinstalled avideotape machine andthen bought allthefunny movies
that he remembered from his youth.
Hewatched alltheslapstick comedies hecould find forhours atatime. Hebought
dozens ofjoke books andread them. Hemade itapoint tolaugh asmuch aspossible
during his waking hours.
Gradually,hispain lefthim. After sixmonths, hewasstillalive andhiscancer had
been arrested.
Happy emotions doinfluence physiological processes inthebody,justasdonegative
emotions. When wearecheerful, carefree andhappy,werarely become sick. One ofthe
results of a happy disposition is improved digestion.
When wefeel positive about ourselves andoursurroundings, werelish ourfood
more anditismore easily assimilated. Surrounding ourselves with good companionship,
pleasant conversation andawholesome environment makes eating apleasure, anddi-
gestion progresses easily.
When wearerelaxed, ourstomach andother organs arelesstense; they feellesscon-
strained andcanperform their tasks more easily.Infact, thephysical actoflaughing
after a meal allows the food to pass more readily through the digestive tract.
Weshould make every effort tosurround ourselves with pleasant emotions and
thoughts before andduring meals. Prayer,meditation oraperiod ofsilence before begin-
ning ameal canhelp usto“wind down” ouractivities. Byestablishing aquiet period be-
forewebegin eating, weremove ourselves from thehurried emotions andpastthoughts
oftheday.Wetake time torenew ourselves spiritually before werenew ourselves phys-
ically.Regardless ofone’sreligious beliefs orlack ofbeliefs, itissimply common sense
toobserve aperiod ofemotional poise andmental quiet before eating. This may take the
form ofaprayer,anaffirmation about thefood weareabout toeat,orsimply aperiod of
quiet silence where we anticipate the enjoyment of the upcoming meal.
16.3.3 Emotional Factors and the Foods We Choose
Eating anoptimum dietwould besimple ifwewere allrational beings, freed from
emotional conditioning. However,intherealm ofdiet, itisoften theemotions andpast
habits that are king and queen instead of reason and clear perception.
Weeaticecream, spicy foods, candy andother destructive foods primarily because
ofemotional needs andemotional associations with these foods—not because ofany
true physiological need or premeditated reason.
People form emotional attachments tofoods asaresult ofchildhood experiences,
pastassociations orself-conditioning. Consequently,certain foods areoften eaten during
particular emotional states, such asdepression, etc., orinhopes ofinducing aspecific
emotion, such as contentment or happiness.
Forinstance, icecream isoften associated with therewards ofchildhood. When we
were children, icecream represented atreat orperhaps asign ofparental approval orin-
dulgence. “Ifyou’ll begood, I’llbuyyouanicecream cone,” isacommon promise of
harried parents.
Thus, atanearly age, icecream isassociated with “being good” andwith parental
approval. Consequently,when wehave been good (such asstaying onagood dietfora
fewweeks), wedecide toplay both parent andchild andreward ourselves with abowl
oficecream. Similarly,ifwearefeeling depressed oroverwhelmed bylife’sproblems,
we may eat other childhood “reward” foods to temporarily escape our adult troubles.
Holidays such asChristmas andThanksgiving areintimately associated with strong
emotions andcertain festive foods. Sostrong isthisemotional association offood with
holiday funthatsome health-conscious individuals may eatturkey,pastries andsweetsonaholiday inanefforttocapture thechildhood memories ofdays long past, aswell as
for parental approval in the present.
Please note thatnovalue judgement isplaced upon theemotional associations and
attachments tofood. Toacertain extent, allofourfood likes anddislikes arebased up-
onemotions. Few people eatoutofpurely rational reasons, norisitnecessary todoso.
What isnecessary,however,istobeaware oftheroleemotions play inourfood choic-
es.Ifweareeating certain foods thatarenotconducive tohealth because ofadisturbed
emotional state, weshould beaware ofourbehavior andtrytoapproach ourproblems
in some other manner besides food.
Foods themselves cannot satisfy emotional


 thesole expert orfactual
source cited byeither Dr.Vetrano orN.P.Wemust realize thatintheprocess ofsprout-
ing,thedried out(and inthatstate, virtually inedible) seed hasbeen returned toaviable
condition, through restoration ofitslostmoisture. Inthespecific case ofsoybeans, some
additional water hasbeen absorbed (asitnaturally would befrom damp earth), tore-
constitute theseed tosomewhat more than thepercentage ofwater found intheoriginal
fresh soybean. Thewater content percentages are:fresh, 60.2%; dried, 10.0%; sprouts,
86.5%. This water content isthemissing keythathaseluded both Dr.Vetrano andN.P.,
and led them to jump to faulty conclusions about “missing vitamins.”
Ifwebegan with (forexample) asingle ounce ofdried soybeans (seeds), andthen
reconstituted thewater through soaking andsprouting, wewould then have atotal food
weight ofapproximately sixounces ofsoysprouts. Thedry(non-water) material present
would originally have been 90% ofoneounce, or.9oz.Itwould stillremain roughly 9
oz.,butwould now bedistributed throughout sixounces offood, thebalance being the
added water content. Percentagewise, allnutriments butwater willhave been cutbya
factor of6:1,butthey have not“gone anywhere”; they arestillthere asbefore. Dryma-
terial would now beabout 14% ofthetotal, compared with 90% oftheolddryweight.
Using the factor of 6:1 as a convenient round figure, we proceed.
About oftheactual weight offathasbeen burned up,as“fuel” forthenew life;thisis
ofinsignificant nutritional content forthepurposes ofthisdiscussion. Thecalcium con-
tent, which was226, should now have dropped toabout 38(mgs. per100gm.portion);
butwenote itislisted byHeritage as48.Clearly,wehave nonetlossofcalcium. There
issome loss ofiron andphosphorus noted inthechart, theiron content being slightly
lessthan expected, andthephosphorus about 2/3ofwhat could reasonably beexpected
from the 6:1 dilution. So we may have lost 1/3 of the phosphorus.
Let’slook atthefeared Vitamin Blosses. This isvery revealing: itisexactly theop-
posite! Thiamine (B-1) was1.10 mgs. per100grams; now diluted at6:1with water,it
must bearound.18,butisinfactlisted at.23,again ofover aquarter oftheoriginal
amount present. Riboflavin (B-2) islisted originally (dry state) as.31;in6:1dilution
with water itshould be.05.Butithasashot upto.20,indicating four times thenet
amount of riboflavin as compared to the original amount in the dry 1 oz. of seed.
Percentagewise theconcentration inthe6oz.offood hasdropped to2/3ofthefor-
mercontent, butwenevertheless have atotal amount ofVitamin B-2thatis400% ofthe
original amount.
Niacin islisted at2.2mgs. originally,which would theoretically bediluted bysprout-
ingtolessthan.4mgs. Butagain thereverse istrue, forthefigure is.8forthe6:1water -
diluted sprouts, showing adoubling oftotal niacin present inthesixounces ofsprouts,
ascompared with original content inthe1ounce ofseeds. Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)
content isunavailable inHeritage’ scharts, forthedrystate, butDr.Vetrano admits that
thisisincreased. Itisnot,however,the“only vitamin increased.” TheVitamin Acon-
tentwasoriginally given as80international units per100grams edible portion. Inthe
sprouts itisstill80units per100gms., butremember thatwenow have sixounces of
sprouts, thus wehave SIXTIMES theoriginal netinternational units ofVitamin A;eventhough thepercentage would stillbeidentical totheformer percentage, wehave nonthe-
less six times the available quantity of nourishment in regard to this important vitamin.
Ihasten toaddthatthese additional netamounts ofvitamins didnothave to“come
from somewhere” outside theseed; itcaneasily beunderstood asamatter ofnatural
processes ofrearranging molecules andcompounds, synthesizing relatively nonuseful
rawmaterials intomore useful (forhuman nutrition) materials. Thesame thing occurs
within the intestines of humans, producing B-12, for instance.
Protein content must alsobetaken inthelight ofthesame 6:1formula, allowing for
thegreat increase inwater content tobring theseed toitsviable andedible condition.
Thus, wehadafigure of34.1% dryprotein, now 6.2% forthesprouted soybean. Yet,we
seenocomplaints thatmost ofourprotein hasvanished intothinair,orbeen leached out
through osmosis. Ithasgone nowhere atall;itissimply comparing thesame amount to
apercentage of1oz.orapercentage of6oz.oftotal food. Ananalogy ofthisapparent
paradox of“vanishing nutriments” isseen among thelegumes aswell. Dried peas and
beans areoften cited ashaving enormous protein contents, based upon hasty scanning
ofcharts listing dryweight. This makes them avery good buy,dollar wise. Butwhen
reconstituted with water tomake them edible, ofcourse, thecontent ofprotein isfrac-
tionated along with everything else, rendering them afairly good source ofprotein (per-
centagewise), butcertainly no“super -food” inprotein content. Similarly,dryseeds can
beagood value, asyouaddwater yourself; ifyoubuypresprouted seeds, youpayfor
convenience, as5/6ofwhat youbuyiswater.Perhaps weshouldn’ tmind this, asmuch
of the Natural Hygienic food (such as fruits and salad items) is lar gely water anyway.
Inregard tooverpricing among health-food sources ofseeds, itshould benoted that
thecheap open-market seeds sold forflour -making (forexample) often aresostale they
willnotsprout atall,oratleast have ahigh proportion of“dead” seeds. Freshness isvery
important; organic growing without sprays may also account forsome oftheadditional
cost. IfN.P.canbuyseeds at1/5theprice insmall quantities, which areequal inqual-
ityforsprouting purposes, wewould bedelighted tolearn ofhissource. Wedonotsell
them, but we do use them, and would be glad to save even more on sprouting.
Wecanseenomajor objection toDr.Vetrano’ smethod ofsprouting seeds inwhite
sand, butitshould benoted thatthiswould addnothing tothenutritional value ofthe
sprouts either; thesand would merely actasaholder forthesprouts andthemoisture;
itmight also bedifficult toseparate thegritfrom thesprouts. Wefeelthesprouter -jar
method iscleaner inthisrespect, andseenodrawback inhaving sprouts thatarecurled
instead ofstraight. This probably comes about from tumbling inthejar,preventing the
sprouts from consistently growing inthesame direction. This would have nothing todo
with nutrition.
So,tosummarize: thevitamins donot“goanywhere”; they aremanufactured by
these busy little new lives from cruder materials within theseeds themselves, apparently.
There isnovitamin lossinterms ofnetmaterial available forhuman consumption, and
itisafallacy tousethedrymaterial percentage ofvitamins asayardstick without allow-
ingforthesix-fold increase inwater content. Allowing forthis, there isafairtotremen-
dous increase inVitamins A,B-1, B-2, niacin, andC,properly disregarding thespecious
dryseed percentage which isnotavailable tousinthatstate. Otherwise, obviously you
could saythesame criticism ofanynatural food. One could take, say,bananas, drythem
out,andsaythatthedrybananas aresomuch more nutritious than natural bananas. This
ignores thefactthatifyoueatthedryfood, youmust then drink correspondingly greater
amounts ofwater tosupply your body’ smoisture needs, andyouwould then beright
back where you started!
Aswehave noted, there issome lossofnutriment byosmosis ifseeds aresoaked. We
have already experimented with utilizing only theproper amount ofwater inpresoak-
ingofseeds forsprouting, sothatallthewater isabsorbed into theseeds. This would
preclude anypossibility ofosmotic loss into thewater,ofanynutriment; andweare
now advising fellow Hygienists tofollow thissimple precaution to

39.2.9 Grouping the Vitamins
Vitamins areorganic chemical compounds which arenormally divided forpurposes
of convenient identification into two groupings:
1.The Fat-Soluble V itamins
2.The W ater-Soluble V itamins
Only themore familiar vitamins aresoclassified. They aregrouped inthismanner
because they cannot bemore readily classified because oftheir chemical similarity as
canbedone, forexample, with thevarious kinds ofcarbohydrates which, asthestudent
already knows, canbeeasily grouped asmonosaccharides, disaccharides orpolysaccha-
rides according tothecomplexity oftheir molecules andthesimilarity oftheir chemi-
calconstruction. This isnottrueofvitamins since they differwidely intheir chemical
make-up with no clear pattern emer ging.
Some vitamins areproteins with very complex molecules while others seem tobe
simple amino acids. Many people consider vitamins tobefood, butvitamins arereal-
lynotfood inandofthemselves, butrather protein compound’ sorsimple amino acids
which assist thebody atthecellular level toutilize andassimilate thefood which iseat-enand, inexcess, they stimulate themetabolic process. Their main responsibility isto
regulate body activity.
The body also hasother helpers which also perform this same regulatory func-
tion—namely,theenzymes. Nooneisexactly sure justhow enzymes goabout their very
important duties butwedoknow thatthousands ofchemical actions andinterreactions
which areallapartofthecellular scene depend upon enzymatic action. Without their
presence, these metabolic functions simply could nottake place. Asweshall seelater,
without thepresence ofcertain enzymes, many bodily processes inwhich vitamins play
their own peculiar rolewould require such high temperatures thatthebody would liter-
ally burn up.
Thus, thevitamins assist theenzymes, too,intheir catalytic work and, forthisrea-
son, areoften called “Co-Enzymes.” They assist both hormones andenzymes sotheir
rolemight becompared with thatofthenurse’ saide who assists theregistered nurse in
caring for all the patients!
39.2.10 Vitamin-Enzyme-Hormone Synergism
The secretions oftheductless glands, hormones, aretheprime regulators ofmeta-
bolic activity inaddition toperforming thevery important task ofinstigating metabolic
action. Thehormones arenormally referred toasinstigators ofmetabolic action; thatis
they areprimarily responsible forkeeping metabolic activity going on.But, additional-
ly,andmost importantly,they also serve asregulators ofmetabolism, seeing toitthat
things donotgetoutofcontrol—that wedon’twear outthephysiological clock, asit
were, making things go too fast.
Thus wecanseethatvitamins andenzymes dually share inthismajor responsibility
working intandem, asitwere, with thehormones. None canfully fulfill itsresponsibil-
ities without the presence of the others. This is syner gism at its best.
39.2.11 Vitamins Have Other Roles
Sofarasisknown, vitamins supply noenergyornutrient tothehuman body but
simply make itpossible forthesystem toappropriate theproteins, carbohydrates, fats
andsalts. Wealsoknow thatthey areabsolutely essential togrowth because they arere-
quired incellular replication (division); they play animportant partintheregeneration
ofcellular matter andintheoverall maintenance ofhealth. Some ofthem areprobably
involved inmembrane maintenance, inthestimulation ofbrain action, cleansing ofthe
peripheral capillary system, inblood clotting, andinamyriad number ofother activities.
Their total role will probably never be known.
39.2.12 The Fallacy of Vitamin Supplementation
From theforegoing, itwould appear logical toassume thatthemore vitamins wecan
take, thehealthier weshould become but,unfortunately,thisissimply nottrue. Wehave
alimited capacity toutilize and/ortostore vitamins, asistrueoffood. When anysub-
stance, including vitamins, isintroduced into thesystem inexcess ofpresent need, an
unnecessary burden isimmediately placed upon alltheorgans andsystems. They can-
notusetheproduct. Itisanobstructive influence inthebody andtherefore potentially
harmful toit.Theorganic domain isplaced intheposition ofhaving tocope with itin
the least damaging manner.
The presence ofanyexcess orforeign substance isimmediately recognized. The
danger -ahead alert issentviathenervous transmitting mechanisms (thenervous system)
tothecontrol center inthebrain where itisinterpreted, evaluated andanappropriate
response (instructions) sent out; orperhaps thealert may berelayed toamore locally
placed substation (a plexus) for a sympathetic response.Ifanobstructive foreign substance (forexample, avitamin overload duetodietary
supplementation), cannot bestored ordisposed ofbytemporarily orpermanently
“dumping” itsomewhere inthebody where itwillnotgreatly interfere with normal sys-
temic function butcanbe“tolerated,” then thebody willinstigate other measures toget
it out of the system as fast as possible.
The usual route forsuch exodus isviathekidneys andwhen thekidneys arethus
called upon foremer gency service, they must necessarily work overtime. Vitamins,
when taken inexcess ofactual body need, arehandled inexactly thesame fashion as
anyother unncessary impediment. Inthecase ofvitamins, theeasiest andquickest way
togetridofexisting excess istoincorporate itintheurine andsend itoutofthebody
via the bladder, making the urine a very expensive secretion, indeed!
Inorder toaccomplish the“dumping” ortherapid exodus ofanyforeign orexcess
material, vitamins orother,thebody isstimulated bythenervous response andshifts into
“high gear,”stepping upthemetabolic activity.Thestimulation makes thevitamin-taker
feelgood, atleast while hetakes thevitamins, anditisforthisreason thattheneed for
this kind of stimulation can become habitual.
Why,youask.Itseems thatavery delicate balance obtains among andbetween the
secretions oftheductless glands, thehormones, thevitamins andtheenzymes; especial-
lywith themillions ofenzymes which aredirectly concerned atthecellular level with
themultitudinous activities comprising thelifeprocess. Yousee,once inside your body
thevitamins take their proper place inatremendously complicated scheme oflifeabout
which weactually know very little. They donotjustwork alone butthey require other
factors forthem tobeeffective atall,factors likefats, minerals, hormones andsoon.
Only toosoon thebody becomes accustomed totheir stimulating presence andwhen
deprived ofit,cansink toanunexpected andquickly feltlower level ofwell-being as
attends all drug withdrawal.
Weareonly becoming more informed inthisarea ofconcern through microbiolog-
icalstudies. Wereally know very little about lifewithin thecell. Butwhat wedoknow
strongly suggests thattheindiscriminate taking ofvitamins could andperhaps does dis-
turb delicate internal nutritive balance resulting inmetabolic confusion, aconfusion
which disrupts anddiminishes efficiency ofperformance. Health isreduced commensu-
rate to the imbalance.
Some vitamins, liketheenzymes, arefound injustabout every living cell, plant or
animal. NotallVitamins however,arerequired byallanimals butitdoes seem tobea

present atalltimes, each toplay itsown specific role astotime andplace within that

 andeven cosmic dust from theupper atmosphere. These particles actually
serve auseful function intheplay ofnature byacting asastimulus forrainandprecipi-
tation.
The foreign particles falltoearth with therain andtheairiscleaned. Meanwhile,
plants arebusy recycling carbon dioxide intooxygen, andthegiant oceans arerecircu-
lating and cleaning the air all over the planet.
Butthen thebalance was upset. Withthecoal-burning industries ofthenineteenth
century,abnormally largeamounts offoreign particles andgases escaped into theair.
Theraincould nolonger clear theaircompletely,andtheoceans became polluted. The
oxygen-producing forests andfields were leveled andmade intoconcrete sites forbuild-
ings.
More garbage wasbeing dumped intotheairthan nature could handle. Finally,the
whole atmosphere all over the globe became contaminated, dirty, and unhealthy.
52.1.3 What Is Air Pollution?
Airpollution isdefined assubstances orradiations intheatmosphere which harm
living organisms ortheir environment. Normally,aswehave seen, theatmosphere is
self-purifying. However,when ahigh concentration ofunnatural wastes isdischar ged
into the air, then the atmosphere becomes overburdened and polluted.
Eventually thepollutants intheairmay beprecipitated from theatmosphere when it
rains. When thisoccurs, thepollution falls onto theland orwater,andcontaminates this
part of our environment.
52.1.4 What Causes Air Pollution?
Airpollution iscaused inoneofthree ways: surface friction, vaporization, andcom-
bustion.
Friction isaminor cause ofairpollutants. Such things assawing, drilling, andgrind-
ingvarious materials release airborne particles which may findtheir way intoyour lungs
eventually.Formost people, friction isnotamajor source ofpollution unless they are
workers in a mine, mill, or other industry that releases small particles into the air.
Vaporization occurs when aliquid becomes agas.Agood example ispaint thinner.
When thecanisopened, certain fumes escape asvapor into theatmosphere. Gasoline
also under goes vaporization, asdopaints, glues, andother chemical compounds. This
isonly amajor source ofpollution when anearby industry isengaged inmaking these
products, or is working with rubber or plastic which can also vaporize.
Combustion istherealvillain asthecause ofairpollutants. Combustion issimply
theburning ofasolid orliquid intoagas. Forinstance, your carworks oncombustion
by turning gasoline into various hot gases.
When combustion occurs, heat andlight areusually released. Unfortunately,other
chemicals andgases arealsoreleased intotheatmosphere. Some ofthese chemicals are
harmful, and are the major factors in polluting our air.
Infact, aquick study oftheairpollution problem isreally justadescription ofthese
chemicals and how they get into our atmosphere.
52.2. The Deadly Chemicals In Our Air
52.2.1 Sulfur Dioxide: The Gas From Hell
52.2.2 Carbon Monoxide: A T otally Manmade Gas
52.2.3 Nitrogen Oxides: The Smog T riggers52.2.4 Hydrocarbons: The Urban Air Pollution
52.2.5 Ozone: From Out of the Blue
52.2.6 Better No Lead Than Dead
52.2.7 Asbestos: Fibers In Y our Lungs
52.2.8 Air Y ou Can See: Particle Pollution
Many ofthepollutants inouratmosphere have unfamiliar andscientific names, yet
they arenotdifficult tounderstand. Each major chemical pollutant isdiscussed below as
tothepossible harm itcandous,where itcomes from andhow wecanprevent itfrom
becoming more widespread.
Here’ salistofthemore common chemicals thatpollute your air:sulfur dioxide, car-
bon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, ozone, lead, and asbestos.
52.2.1 Sulfur Dioxide: The Gas From Hell
“Ifsmells likehellaround here,” aworker complained tohisboss. What hewas
talking about wasthechoking, sulfur fumes thatcame from theworker ’splant. Sulfur
dioxide does indeed remind youofthe“fire andbrimstone” odor.Ifyoubreathed adeep
lungful of the gas, it would feel like thousands of razor blades in your lungs.
Sulfur dioxide isoneofthedeadliest airpollutants, anditaccounts forabout 18%
ofallairpollution. Sulfur dioxide Ihasbeen implicated incases ofasthmatic attacks,
eczema (askin disease), breathing difficulties, andparalysis andcorrosion oftherespi-
ratory or gans.
Assoon assulfur dioxide rises toaconcentration ofonly one-five millionth ofthe
atmosphere, deaths increase rapidly.
Coal-burning plants andindustries account foralmost 85% ofallsulfur dioxide pol-
lution. Residential useofcoal andfueloilmakes upanother 10% ofthesulfur dioxide
release. Theproblem ofsulfur dioxide pollution isthemost serious inareas ofthenorth-
east where coal burning is the most widespread.
Noone, however,canescape theharmful effects ofsulfur dioxide because itis
spread allover theearth in“acid rain.” Acid rain occurs when theparticles ofsulfur
dioxide arecarried through theairandcombine with water particles andfalltoearth.
Along with the water in the rain, you also get the acid waste products of sulfur dioxide.
Crops thatareespecially susceptible tosulfur dioxide andacid rainarewheat, barley,
oats, cotton, alfalfa, buckwheat, andwhite pine. Infact, within atwenty-mile radius of
aplant thatemits sulfur dioxide inTennessee, over 90% ofallthewhite pine trees have
been killed.
These sulfur compounds alsoenter thestreams, rivers, andlakes after they fallfrom
the air. As a result, many fish and aquatic plants quickly die.
Asanindividual, youcanhelp control thistype ofairpollution byusing another
form ofheating besides coal andfueloil.Ifyoumust usethese fuels toheat your home,
insist thatyoureceive alow-sulfur content coal orfuel. Bysimply converting toalower
sulfur content ofcoal, theproblem could begreatly eased. Atthesame time, youshould
push forstronger regulations about theamount ofsulfur dioxide industries canrelease
into our air.
52.2.2 Carbon Monoxide: A Totally Manmade Gas
Ajellyfish canbelch carbon monoxide. Other than that, man istheonly creature that
cancreate thisdeadly gas.Carbon monoxide isthekiller behind automobile gaspoison-
ings thatoccur inclosed garages. This gasintheexhaust fumes ofcars isoften fatal to
unsuspecting drivers.
Over one-half ofthetotal airpollution inthiscountry comes from carbon monoxide.
And youareresponsible, because 80% ofallcarbon monoxide comes from theexhaust
pipe of the automobile.Carbon monoxide isextremely dangerous. Itisalmost certain thatyouhave been
poisoned bythisgasatleast once inthepast week ifyoudrive inheavy traffic.Tests
have shown thattrafficjams canproduce enough carbon monoxide from theidling cars
to cause headaches, irritability, dizziness, and nausea.
People who must work near heavy trafficareas often breathe inenough carbon
monoxide sothattheir mental processes areslowed down toabout one-half what they
should beinclean air.Many driving accidents arenow thought tobecaused bycarbon
monoxide leaking from the car and poisoning the driver in the car.
Forsome people, driving acarisn’tenough pollution. They must also smoke ciga-
rettes, which alsogive offcarbon monoxide. Heavy smokers may have asmuch as5°?o
oftheir blood hemoglobin permanently combined with carbon monoxide. When thisoc-
curs, thetissues sufferalowlevel ofoxygen starvation anddestruction. Even thecarbon
monoxide from asingle cigarette inaclosed carcancreate headaches inallthepassen-

Every gallon ofgasoline thatyouburn inyour carreleases three pounds ofcarbon

and limit all driving and strive for a more fuel-ef ficient car.
During thedays oftheVietnam warprotests when hundreds burned their draft cards,
science-fiction writer,Ray Bradbury,said: “The students who areburning their draft
cards arefighting thewrong enemy.This warwilleventually end, butthemore serious
anddeadly war,theoneagainst airpollution, willnever bewon until weendourdepen-
dence onthepolluting automobile. Ifthese protestors want toperform areally radical
andearth-saving act,they should beburning their drivers’ licenses instead oftheir draft
cards.”
52.2.3 Nitrogen Oxides: The Smog Triggers
The suninthemidday skywas only aw


ephenomenon. Itwasnotanutrient thatwasresponsible. When juice wasextract-
edfrom thealfalfa, ithadnoeffect. Butthewhole alfalfa with pulp included provided
beneficial results.
Itturned outthatvarious grasses—rye, orchard, wheat, fescue, andoat—were also
effective. When cellulose wastried, ithadamoderate effect, considerably lessthan that
obtained with the fiber—containing alfalfa and varied grasses.
“Nearly alldisease,” says Denis Burkett, “has more than onecausative factor.Notin
anyofthese diseases would suggest thatfiber deficiency isasolecausative factor,mere-
lythatitmay beoneimportant factor.What Iwould emphasize isthatafiber-depleted
dietisacommon factor,common toanumber ofcharacteristic Western diseases. Itis
amajor factor,Ibelieve, insome, alessimportant factor inothers, butitiscommon to
each ofthem andofferstheonly reasonable explanation putforward, Ithink, why these
diseases are associated.”
These diverse diseases arerelated because theunderlying cause isthesame ineach.
That is,anunhealthy andunnatural dietplus other poor living habits. Anatural dietof
fruits, vegetables, nuts, andseeds willprovide uswith alloftheproper nutrients needed
toensure astate ofhealth. Thenatural fiber willbethere inproper amounts andwedo
notneed tothink about providing thisoneingredient separately.Thefiber istheundi-
gestable partoftheplant andwereceive nonourishment from itanyway.Itiscertainly
notsoimportant asisclaimed. Itisnotany“cure” since itisaninert substance thatpass-
esthrough thedigestive tract unchanged. Itisdiscarded bythebody inthisway because
it is nonusable.
The mice fedonanunnatural andrefined dietbecame sick notbecause oflack of
fiber alone butbecause ofthepresence oftoxins inanunnatural diet. This dietwasfor-
eign totheir body andwas notsufficient topromote health. When some oftheir nat-
uralfoods were given, such asalfalfa, health wasrestored because their organism was
once again provided with thenutriment they needed, andhealing andnormalization took
place. This wascertainly notduetothefiber present inthedietbutduetothemany fac-
tors in their natural diet that are essential for their particular requirements.
Many human disease conditions areassociated with low-fiber diets consisting large-
lyofrefined breads, cereals, sweets, etc.However,thisagain isnotduetothelack of
fiber alone. Other aspects totake intoconsideration arethepresence oftoxic elements
andlack ofvitamins, minerals, andproteins in‘these refined products. Merely adding
fiber in the form of bran will not decrease the toxicity of these foods.
Our natural foods arecomplete with allnutrients including fiber andthese arethe
foods that will provide the conditions for health.

List 1 – “free foods”
List1A(Unlimited inrawstate; limit to1cupcooked—it isclaimed thatthese foods
are most digestible cooked.)
List 2
List 3 - Fats
List 4 - Milk and milk products
List 5 - V egetables - 1/2 cup per serving
List 6 - Fruits - servings per day
List 7
This dietdepends ontheperiodic ingestion offructose andahigh-protein, low-car-
bohydrate dietisfollowed. Dates areeaten between meals tomaintain high blood sugar
levels.Thefoods aredivided intoseven basic types: 1)“free foods” which canbeeaten in
anyamount since they contain negligible amounts ofcarbohydrates, fats, orproteins; 2)
meat; 3) fat; 4) milk; 5) vegetables; 6) fruit; 7) flour products.
Thefructose dietisintended forpeople who have functional hypoglycemia, forthose
who wish toloseweight without feeling hungry orirritable, forthose who wish toreduce
their craving foralcohol, forpeople who wish toavoid theonset ofmigraine headaches
orpremenstrual tension, forhyperactive children, andforpersons with certain psychot-
ictendencies. Donotbefooled bythese claims. The Fructose Diet oranydietcannot
detoxify and heal. But they certainly can derange the body!
The lists of foods for this diet is as follows:
List 1 – “free foods”
Bouillon Pepper & other spices
Clear broth Pickles
Coffee Rennet tablets
Cranberries Salt
Horseradish Seasonings
Lemon Vinegar
Mustard
This listof“free foods” contains themost toxic food elements thatwecaningest.
Except forlemon, alloftheabove foods areeliminated ontheHygienic dietnotonly for
their toxicity but because they are irritants, and interfere with normal digestion.
List 1A (Unlimited in raw state; limit to 1 cup cooked—it is claimed that these
foods are most digestible cooked.)
Asparagus Eggplant Rhubarb
Bean sprouts Lettuce Sauerkraut
Broccoli Mushrooms Spinach
Brussels sprouts Parsley Summer squash
Cauliflower Peppers String beans
Celery Pimentoes Tomatoes
Cucumbers Radishes Zucchini
Sauerkraut, spinach, rhubarb, radishes, parsley,andmushrooms allcontain toxins
which interfere with normal assimilation ofcertain nutrients. The other vegetables
would be healthful additions to our meals if consumed raw.
List 2
This listincludes meats, fish, cheese, peanut butter,andeggs—each serving contains
seven grams ofprotein. Allofthese foods areunnatural items inthehuman dietandcon-
tribute to disease.
List 3 - Fats
Avocado - 1/8 French Dressing - 1 Tbsp.
Butter - 1 tsp. Mayonnaise - 1 tsp.
Bacon - 1 slice Nuts - 6 small
Chocolate - 2 tsp. Oil - 1 tsp.
Light cream - 2 Tbsp. Olives - 5Heavy cream - 1 Tbsp. Shortening - 1 tsp.
Lard - 1 tsp. Cream Cheese - 1 Tbsp.
Except fortheavocado andnuts inthislist,these “foods” would result inillhealth
in anyone consuming them.
List 4 - Milk and milk products
1 cup of milk or yogurt equals one serving
1/4-cup ice cream equals one serving
Humans cannot digest milk products duetolack oftheenzymes rennin andlactase.
Icecream contains many unnatural andtoxic ingredients andahigh percentage ofre-
fined sugar.Yogurt isfermented milk andalsomay contain high levels ofsugar.Humans
cannot digest the byproducts of fermentation and putrefaction.
List 5 - Vegetables - 1/2 cup per serving
Beets Rutabagas

List 7
Flour products and starchy vegetables.
Aswas explained inearlier lessons, humans have alimited capacity forstarch di-
gestion. Inaddition, wheat hastoxic acids thatareharmful andtherefore should notbe
consumed.
Formost people following thisdiet, Dr.Palm recommends thattwotothree servings
ofprotein foods from List2andusually justoneserving permeal fortheremaining cate-
gories beincluded. Such high amounts ofprotein willonly further endanger your health.
Several recipes include theuseofconcentrated fructose. Inaddition, Dr.Palm re-
quires thatyoueatbetween 75and100grams offructose daily—available intablet or
powder form. Fructose isrefined from sucrose, ordinary white sugar.Thehealth conse-
quences ofsuch apractice isthesame asingesting thesame amount ofrefined white
sugar. This diet is dangerous and could never result in any benefits.65.13. Bland Diet For Peptic Ulcer Patients

 anddrains its
septic contents ontheoutside iswell known toeveryone ofmyreaders. What isnotgen-
erally known, isthatthis“pointing” onthesurface ispossible only because theflesh
between theabscess andthesurface isdigested byenzymes; thatis,itisautolyzed and
removed.
Certain animals have specialized stores inwhich they store upareserve ofnutrition
tofeed them during periods ofscarcity orduring hibernation. These physiological store-
houses areanalogous tothe“water tank” possessed bythecamel. Examples ofthisare
thebig-tailed sheep ofPersia, thegilamonster ofourWestern plains andtheRussian
bear.Other animals, including man, possess only thegeneralized reserves found inthebone marrow,liver,blood, fatty tissue, etc., andtheprivate reserve possessed byeach
cell in the body.
Both types ofanimals may draw upon these reserves forsupplies with which tonour-
ishtheir vital tissues, ifrawmaterials from without arenottobehad; or,if,duetosick-
ness, they cannot be digested.
These tissues (fatty tissue, bone marrow,etc.) andfood substances (glycogen) are
notfittoenter thebloodstream before they areacted upon byenzymes. Indeed human
fat,orhuman muscle isnomore fitted toenter thecirculation without firstbeing digest-
ed, than is fat or muscle from the cow or sheep.
Glycogen (animal starch), stored intheliver,must beconverted intoasimple sugar
before itcanbereleased intothebloodstream. This conversion isaccomplished byen-
zymic action.
Many more examples ofautolysis could begiven, butenough have been presented to
convince thereader thatitisacommon factofeveryday life.Itremains now toshow that
thebody possesses control over thisprocess, justasitdoes over alltheother processes
of life: that the process is not a blind, undirected bull-in-a-china-shop affair.
Aremarkable example ofthiscontrol isafforded bythepiece ofdiced plenarium
thatcontains thepharynx. Here ismanifest theability toteardown apartandshift its
constituent materials. Thesame thing isseen inthesoftening andabsorption ofthebone-
ring support around apoint offracture. Only part ofthebone-ring isdigested, there-
mainder is allowed to remain to reinforce the weakened structure.
Thephenomena offasting supply many examples ofthecontrol thebody exercises
over itsautolytic processes. Forinstance, tissues arelostintheinverse order oftheir
usefulness—fat andmorbid growths first, andthen theother issues. Inallanimals, from
worms toman, thevarious organs andtissues differvery greatly intheir rates ofloss
while fasting. Usually theliver loses more inweight relative totherestofthebody than
theother organs, especially intheearlier stages, duetothelossofglycogen andfat.The
lungs lose almost nothing and the brain and nervous system still less.
Thevital tissues arefedonthestored reserves andthelessvital tissues, sothatabsti-
nence from food canproduce damage only after thebody’ sreserves have been exhaust-
ed.
Thebody possesses theability toshift itschemicals andfasting furnishes many re-
markable instances ofthis. Thedigestion andreorganization ofparts seen inworms and
other animals, when deprived offood, thedigestion andredistribution ofreserves and
surpluses andnonvital tissues, asseen inallanimals, when forced togowithout food,
constitute, forthewriter,some ofthemost marvelous phenomena inthewhole realm of
biology.
Thebody isnotonly able tobuild tissue; itcanalso destroy tissue. Itcannotonly
distribute itsnutritive supplies; itcanalso redistribute them. Autoloysis makes redistri-
bution possible.
Ipropose now toshow thereader thatthisprocess ofautolysis canbeputtogreat
practical useandbemade toserve usingetting ridoftumors andother growths inthe
body.This factisnotexactly new forithasbeen known foralong time. Over ahun-
dred years ago, Sylvester Graham wrote thatwhen more food isused bythebody than is
daily supplied, “itisageneral lawofthevital economy” that“the decomposing absor-
bents (theoldterm fortheprocess ofautolysis) always firstlayhold ofandremove those
substances which areofleast usetotheeconomy; andhence, allmorbid accumulations,
such aswens, tumors, abscesses, etc., arerapidly diminished andoften wholly removed
under severe and protracted abstinence and fasting.”
Tofully understand this, itisnecessary forthereader toknow thattumors aremade
upofflesh andblood andbone. There aremany names forthedifferent kinds oftumors,
butthenames ofallindicate thekind oftissue ofwhich thetumor iscomposed. Forin-
stance, anosteoma ismade upofbone tissue; amyoma iscomposed ofmuscular tissue;
a neuroma is constituted of nerve tissue; a lipoma consists of fatty tissue; etc.Tumors being composed oftissues, thesame kinds oftissues astheother structures
ofthebody,aresusceptible ofautolytic distintegration, thesame asnormal tissue, and
do,asamatter ofexperience, under godissolution andabsorption under avariety ofcir-
cumstances butespecially during afast. Thereader who canunderstand how fasting re-
duces theamount offatonthebody andhow itreduces thesizeofthemuscles, canalso
understand how itwill reduce thesize ofatumor,orcause ittodisappear altogether.
Heneeds, then only torealize thattheprocess ofdistintegrating (autolyzing) thetumor
takes place much more rapidly than it does in the normal tissues.
InhisNotes onTumors,awork forstudents ofpathology,Francis Carter Woodsays:
“Inavery small proportion ofhuman malignant tumors spontaneous disappearance for
longer orshorter periods hasbeen noted. The greatest number ofsuch disappearances
hasfollowed incomplete surgical removal ofthetumor; they have occurred next inorder
offrequency during some acute febrile process, andlessfrequently inconnection with
some profound alteration ofthemetabolic processes oftheorganism, such asextreme
cachexia, artificial menopause or the puerperium.
Nomore profound change inmetabolism ispossible than thatproduced byfasting
andthechange isofacharacter best suited tobring about theautolysis ofatumor,ma-
lignant or otherwise.
Theconditions Dr.Woodmentions ascausing spontaneous disappearance oftumors
are,forthemost part, “accidents” andarenotwithin therange ofvoluntary control. Fast-
ing,ontheother hand, may beinstituted andcarried onunder control andatanytime de-
sired. Itistherulethatoperations arefollowed byincreased growth inthetumor.Spon-
taneous disappearance following incomplete removal israre. Thesame may besaid for
extreme cachexia andartificial menopause. Infevers, wehave rapid autolysis inmany
tissues ofthebody andmuch curative work going on,butwecannot develop afever at
will. Pregnancy andchildbirth occasion many profound changes inthebody,butthey
arecertainly nottoberecommended tosick women ascures fortheir tumors. Even if
thiswere desirable, itwould beahit-or -miss remedy.Theeffects offasting arecertain.
There isnothing hit-or -miss about theprocess. Itworks always inthesame general di-
rection.
Fever isacurative process anddoes help toremove thecause ofthetumor.None of
Dr.Wood’sother causes ofspontaneous disappearance assist inremoving thecause of
tumors. Fasting does assist greatly in the removal of such cause.
During thefast, theaccumulations ofsuperfluous tissues areoverhauled andana-
lyzed; theavailable component parts areturned over tothedepartment ofnutrition to
beutilized innourishing theessential tissues; therefuse isthoroughly andpermanently
removed.
Icould quote numerous men ofwide experience with fasting tocorroborate what I
amgoing tosayabout autolyzing tumors, butIdonotdesire toweary anyreader with
quotations. Iwill content myself with onequotation. Mr.Macfadden says: “My expe-
rience offasting hasshown mebeyond allpossible doubt thataforeign growth ofany
kind canbeabsorbed into thecirculation bysimply compelling thebody touseevery
unnecessary element contained within itforfood. When aforeign growth hasbecome
hardened, sometimes onelong fastwill notaccomplish theresult, butwhere they are
soft, the fast will usually cause them to be absorbed.”
Due toavariety ofcircumstances, some known, others unknown, therateofabsorp-
tionoftumors infasting individuals varies. Letmecitetwoextreme cases toshow the
wide range of variation in this process.

 earlier hopes.
Many began asphysical wrecks andwithout hope but,before long, they hadbecome
eager participants inamanner ofliving andeating thatthey were now convinced, be-
cause oftheir happy results, would bring them fullrecuperation andregeneration of
body, mind and spirit. And, given suf ficient time, they fulfilled their dream.
Those who intelligently recognized theneed tomake thenecessary changes andthen
subsequently followed through inthedoing, successfully overcame arthritis, depression,

by the “authorities” as being “incurable.”
89.1.1 False Ideas Restrain
False ideas, oldhealth-destroying habits, thedisorders oflife,drugs ofallkinds, and
allexcess, these must allbecastaside infavor ofnew ways, new habits, new foods that
encourage body building. Order andrestraint must enter andbecome incorporated into
thelifeplan, butthere must come, also, asense ofadventure, ofexcitement, anaware-
ness ofone’sliving body,adeep inner conviction that, astheways ofhealth replace the
ways ofdisease, suffering anddeath, superb health willfollow asnaturally asthestars
come out at night to glow and grace the darkened sky after the day has been spent.
89.1.2 Where Life Exists, Possibility Is
The professional practitioner must remember andconvey tohismost seriously-ill
clients thatwhere lifeexists, possibility isandwillremain. This attitude must place the
despair thatsooften pervades themind andrestrains progress. Tellyour clients, inad-
vance, ifneed be,thatitispossible toforetell orpredict what anindividual body isca-
pable ofachieving when itisprovided with thenecessary wherewithal oflife. Change
inattitude may well bethemost important change themore seriously-ill person needs to
make. Somany have hadallhope taken away£ from them byoneperson oranother or
byonedefeat after another,andthefuture looks dark. Justasthecarpenter requires the
tools ofhistrade tobuild aworthy structure, somust they receive thenecessary nutrients
oflifetorestore them tohealth and, thereafter,tomaintain itinfullcapacity.Itmust be
made clear toallclients that, inorder toreach thatlonged-for goal offullhealth, change
must become a part of their daily living, and not a once-in-a-while thing.
Thechanges ofwhich wespeak are,ofcourse, bythevery nature ofthelifeprocess,
allbased singly andseparately onthebasic requisites oforganic existence already delin-
eated inthiscourse. Each andevery one, without exception, must beincorporated into
thelifestyle ofthesick andthewell, asneed andcapacity soindicate. These requisites
should besetforth bythepractitioner inapattern forperformance thatisdeemed appro-
priate foreach client ashisindividual capacity toaccept andutilize may warrant atthe
time, and adjusted as forward progress is made.
Wemust convey totheclient thatthebody isaunitized whole andthatwecannot
neglect anysingle aspect ofliving unless weeither completely destroy orlimit thewhole
andthatonly asalltherequisites oflife,known andunknown, areincorporated intothelifescript inamounts appropriate toeach individual, depending upon hispresent state of
health, will wellness of one cell and all cells together, the totality, be achieved.

89.2.1 Establishing the Goals
Inorder toobtain maximum cooperation andsubsequent performance, tosaynothing
ofreaping therewards ofcorrect eating andliving onthepart oftheclient, itwill be
necessary forthepractitioner toconvince theclient thatfollowing theregimen thatyou
recommend tohimwillbenefit himinways which are,toacertain extent, predictable
well in advance and, to a certain extent, with a fair degree of accuracy.
Predictability issobecause wehumans arebasically thesame. Wepossess gross de-
tails thatarequite similar,itisonly intheminor ones thatwediffer.Therefore, when we
behave inamanner contrary toourfundamental needs, wecanpredict with surety that
thehealth ofthetotality willdiminish andinanexactly equal amount. But, theopposite
istrue, alsoforwhen weanswer ourbody’ sfundamental needs, anddosoinallrespects,
thebody responds bydiscarding theoldinfavor ofthenew; inother words, likethecon-
tractor called tomake repairs onadilapidated building who must first teardown before
hecanrebuild with new andbetter materials so,too,must sick persons discard, before
they can rebuild!
89.2.2 Attitudes Are Contagious
Attitudes arecontagious, soitisimportant forthepractitioner topresent thepossible
benefits which canaccrue totheclient inanenthusiastic andconvincing manner.Inother
words, aspractitioners weshould avoid the“pie inthesky” approach infavor ofmore
reasonable immediate goals, ones attainable, inmost instances, fairly easily andwithin
a comparatively short time.
These goals canrange from thephysical (the elimination ofcertain rather minor
digestive troubles, forexample), thecosmetic (losing thatlook ofutter fatigue thatso
many ofourclients wear ontheir first visit), andeven economic (nolonger required to
buy this or that drug or prosthetic gadget).
Thelistofpossible benefits, ofcourse, could beextensive, butseveral, comparative-
lyeasily attainable, immediate goals canandshould beestablished initially and, then,
others advanced from time to time as the need for further encouragement may arise.
89.2.3 Keeping on Target
Sometimes clients require being reminded ofwhere they have been, where they are
now,andwhere they aregoing; kept ontarget,asitwere. Presenting thelittle goals, the
“baby steps” wesooften talkabout, canusually convey totheclient sufficient inspira-
tiontokeep himfollowing thestraight path tocomplete freedom from disease andsuf-
fering.
Theclient should betoldthatyou, theteacher,willprovide himwith thenecessary
training toenable himeventually to“goitalone,” andthis, too,inarelatively short pe-
riod oftime; thathewillbeable toovercome whatever problem istroubling himonhis
own without having recourse to his former “run-to-the-doctor syndrome.”
Itwill benecessary from time totime todiscuss with theclient theimportance of
hisbecoming soknowledgeable about thescience oflife(Natural Hygiene) thathewillfeelconfident to“goitalone,” totake chargeofhisown Self. This concept, ofcourse,
should bediscussed preferably before heexperiences hisfirst healing crisis, orelsehe
may become completely confused or even disillusioned.
89.2.4 Veras’s Story
Thecase ofVeraillustrates thislastpoint beautifully.Vera,awoman inherearly 50s,
wassuffering from avery badbronchial disorder which hadtroubled herforwell over 15
years. Inaddition tothelung involvement, sheexperienced angina “attacks” from time
totime. Thedoctor hadtoldhershehadaseverely weakened heart muscle andmust be
careful not to “overdo.”
Vera’smedications consisted ofnitroglycerine tablets, antibiotics, steroids from time
totime (prednisone), anddigoxin, allofwhich shetook from time totime asdirected by
thefamily physician. Additionally,onherown, shetook amultitude ofvitamins andhad
done soforyears. Inspite ofallher“treatments” andthevarious medications, prescrip-
tionandnonprescription, herenergylevel remained dangerously lowandherankles and
legs remained swollen with edema. V era was a very discouraged woman.
Verahadbeen referred tousbyapastoral counselor inwhom shehadmuch con-
fidence and, since shewasalready seemingly convinced thatthemedical “treatments”
offered hadfailed herinthepastandwere certainly nothelping hernow,shehadagreed
to “try” Natural Hygiene.
Atourinitial meeting, wereviewed Vera’seating diary which, assuggested, shehad
kept fortheprevious twoweeks. Itwasobvious, ofcourse, thatmost ofthisclient’ strou-
bleswere theresult ofalifetime ofincorrect feeding habits, andthataprimary need was
to detoxify her body.
However,welearned thatherhusband, Joe, was suffering from severe mental de-
pression, caused nodoubt from worry about hiswife’ scondition. Hehadbeen forced to
take atemporary leave ofabsence from hiswork. Under thecircumstances, Verafeltthat
it would be inadvisable for her to go to


 ofever-mounting demand forfood, more andmore oftheworld’ sfarmers aremin-
ingtheir topsoil, dsoilerosion hasnow reached epidemic proportions; itsfeetonfood
prices could ultimately bemore destabilizing than rising oilprices.” Half oftheworld’ s
cropland islosing topsoil faster than nature canreplenish it.IntheSoviet Union, anes-
timated half-million hectares ofcropland areabandoned yearly because they aresose-
verely eroded bywind thatthey arenolonger worth farming. (State oftheWorld—1984,
Worldwatch Institute’ sanalysis ofglobal trends.) The report paints agrim picture for
other resources, including forests and water supplies.
Themain lossofsoiloccurs bysheet erosion, thatis,each time itrains, therunof f
water removes athinlayer ofsurface soil. Asthetopsoil becomes thinner,miniature gul-
lies appear. After most of the surface soil is gone, gullies become the main problems.
There isusually aclear difference between topsoil andsubsoil. Subsoil isfiner tex-
tured, more plastic, and lighter in color than topsoil. Erosion is classified as follows:
Noappar enterosion.Allornearly allsurface soilispresent. Depth tosubsoil is14
inches ormore. Thesurface may have received some recent deposits astheresult ofero-
sion from higher ground.
Slight.Depth tosubsoil varies from 7to14inches. Plowing atusual depths willnot
expose the subsoil.
Moderate.Depth tosubsoil varies from 3to7inches. Some subsoil ismixed with
thesurface soilinplowing. Severe. Depth tosubsoil islessthan 3inches. Surface soilis
mixed with subsoil when the land is plowed. Gullies are beginning to be a problem.
Very Sever e. Subsoil is exposed. Gullies are frequent.
Verysever egullies.Deep gullies orblowouts have ruined thesoilforagricultural
purposes. (Rodale Press.)
There isadirect relationship between erosion andasoil’sability forintake ofairand
water.When thesoilsurface becomes compacted, thedanger oferosion increases, while
the intake of water and air decreases.
Agriculture Department programs have been under heavy criticism because ofse-
vere erosion problems nationwide. One recent federal report said erosion wasincreasedbythepayment-in-kind program (which paid farmers who hadsurplus grain fornot
growing more) because many participants who were required toplow upfields toqualify
fortheprogram didlittle toprotect thesoil. Inaddition, congressional critics have
chargedthatfarmers were putting more oftheir fragile farmland intoproduction toboost
their acreage in government programs.
Overoxidation ofhumus bytillage exposure also increases CO2 inouratmosphere.
Tillage exposure permits theoxidation thatreleases carbon totheairand, simultaneous-
ly,decreases thecarbon storage thehumus provides inthesoilmantle. Forests conduct
more photosynthesis worldwide than anyother form ofvegetation. Photo-synthesizing
plants areoursourceofoxygen.When weharvest forests, extend agriculture onto soils
high inorganic matter,anddestroy wetlands, wespeed thedecay ofourprecious humus
heritage (Lesson 50).
Some soilscientists saythatunder thebest conditions nature canbuild topsoil ata
ratenotfaster than 1.5tons peracre each year,andunder some conditions, therateis
only.5tons peracre peryear.About 2/3ofU.S. cropland isexperiencing anetlossof
topsoil. From water -caused erosion (and wind erosion, such asontheGreat Plains) we
arelosing topsoil, ontheaverage, fivetimes faster than nature canbuild it,even under
the best conditions.
Soil conservationist Neil Samson explains theproblem inhis1981 book Farmland
orWasteland.Hesays tothink interms oftheacre-equivalents offarmland productivity
welose each year through erosion. Losing athousand tons oftopsoil onone
acre—equivalent tosixinches ofsoil— would destroy theproductivity ofmost crop-
land. Hesays thatwell over onemillion acre-equivalents offarmland productivity are
lost yearly. Over 50 years, this could amount to 62,000,000 acre-equivalents.
Thegovernment estimates that43% ofland planted inrowcrops intheCorn Belt is
highly susceptible toerosion; plowing upfragile soils thatshould have remained pasture
andwill only produce afewharvests islikethe“slash-and-burn” technique ofjungle
agriculture.
Most conventional farms intheCorn Belt grow corn andsoybeans year after year,
without therotation with small grains andlegume haysoimportant totheorganic farmer.
Inaddition tonutrient building, these crops help toreduce erosion bycovering the
ground with aliving mulch andbinding thesoilwith their roots, thus protecting the
fields from thedestructive forces ofrainandwind thataredestroying American crop-
land faster than at any time during our history.
Corn andsoybeans have brought thebest price intheexport markets, butthese two
crops arelinked tothehighest rates ofsoilerosion. Planted inrows, they leave partof
thesoilexposed, unlike grasses orclover which cover theground entirely.Soybeans
have shallow roots thatalsoleave soilmore susceptible toerosion. Crops ofsmall grains
(oats, barley) andhay(alfalfa) have lesscash value, butthese crops aregrown close to-
gether—this reduces surface water runof fanderosion. Because many farmers plant the
same crops each year instead ofrotating them orletting theearth liefallow,thesoilfur-
ther loses itsability torebuild itself. Chinese farmers have tilled thesame land forat
least 40centuries. InAmerica, farmers may wish toconserve theland they farm, butthe
economic forces atwork donot“reward” soilconservation intheshort term, somany
farmers do not invest in soil conservation.
99.2.3 Farming in the United States Today
The United States currently exports one-third ofitsannual agricultural harvest,
growing enough to feed about 240 million Americans, plus 120 million people abroad.
In1980, theRodale Press initiated theCornucopia Project todocument where the
U.S. food system isvulnerable andtosuggest how itcould betransformed intoonethat
maintains high productivity andalsoconserves itsresources. Thebook Empty Breadbas-
ket? is a report on the results of that study. Here are some of its findings:•The size of the average U.S. farm has tripled since 1920.
•In 1978, 1% of farm owners controlled 30% of the land.
•Theaverage molecule ofprocessed food travels 1,300 miles before being eaten. (One of
thefirstthings Iremember hearing inmytransition tonatural foods wasthatitisconsid-
ered better toeatfoods thataregrown within several hundred miles ofwhere onelives,
thelogic being thatfoods native tothearea, those surviving intheclimate where one

 a hip turned here, a shoulder turned there. As a result, they tend to
lose feel, and only constant repetition and practice allow proper action to
seep into their subconscious so that eventually they can perform
unthinkingly.
It is very dif ficult to teach someone to dance by drawing diagrams of the
proper steps upon the floor, but a person who instinctively moves in rhythm
to music hardly needs to be taught at all, so apt a pupil are they. Eastern
musicians use only rough notations on their sheets of music to remind them
of the melody, preferring to play by feel. The more complicated method of
Western musicians is represented by a double scale of notes and half notes,
delineating completely both melody and harmony. This is not an apology
for W estern methods of education, for the W est produces its share of
inspirational thinkers and instinctive athletes. This is only to say that the
linear method of thinking, while proven ef fective in scientific investigation,
is certainly not the only or even the best approach to use in dealing with our
surroundings. Our contacts in our daily lives are so profuse that we never
can hope to understand them by trying to understand their parts. W e must
rely for our perceptions on an awareness of each thing achieved by an
intuitional understanding of it.

Intuitive Thinking

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

The Exer cise of Divinity

Those who know only one thing exercise no choice. They proceed along a
single path because they see no other. All around them is an unknown
forest, and to their limited vision it would be unthinkable for them to veeroff the pathway before them. Knowledge illuminates. The more we
understand about our environment, the less strange that environment
appears. The more our consciousness expands, the more likely we are to
perceive the myriad pathways that lead of f the road we currently are
following. There are as many ways to arrive at salvation and ef fectiveness
as there are dif ferent people. The human soul is a direct opening into the
world of things from the secret presence of universal self — incomplete,
yes, partially manifested, yes — embarked upon a self-seeking journey
called life, and this is the drama of existence and evolution being played out
upon this mortal sphere.
To choose is to exercise divinity within. It is choice alone that is indicative
of higher spiritual and mental development. By it we recognize both
intellect and character. The person who is able to transcend the limitations
and blandishments of the sensual world stands like a colossus on the
evolutionary stage of life. They have likened themself to God by
uncovering essential freedom within, through deciding the direction in
which they will grow. Choice always presupposes sacrifice, for one does
not decide in favor of one thing without deciding against another. Nothing
is ever achieved or gained without giving up something else. It is this law of
sacrifice under which all things live, by which they grow and evolve and
aspire. The acceptance and knowledge of sacrifice alleviates much pain, for
when we truly understand that we can have one thing only by giving up
another, we hold on to all possessions with loose hands, prepared to let
them go at any time. They do not belong to us alone; they are ideas
proceeding out of universal mind and therefore under the mutual ownership
of everyone.

Pain and Gr owth

Life sometimes seems to bend us terrifically, to put us under a strain we
scarcely are able to bear, to involve us in conflicts that are beyond our scope
to solve; but we are what we are only because we aspire to be greater, andthe obstacles and the pain we meet with in life are only the result of our
efforts to break out of the encysting shell of the ego and to grow outward in
effectiveness and understanding. “The Archer,” writes Kahlil Gibran, “sees
the mark upon the path of the Infinite, and He bends you with His might,
that His arrows may go swift and far.” The ends of things do not reveal
themselves to the finite human mind; they are only partially available to our
intuitive faculties and then only insofar as we understand that life’ s goals
and methods are in the hands of a greater power than us. Our real vocation
is to fathom our relationship to this power, to develop complete faith and
trust in it, to realize that nothing rests in our own hands except the
determination of the direction in which we will grow.
Choice implies freedom, and whether we are free or automatons has long
been a favorite ar gument of religious sects and philosophers. Any power
capable of creating the world and overseeing the orderly process of
evolution must know exactly where it is going and how it intends to get
there. Its course cannot possibly be altered by any one of the finite minds it
has created. All the events that have happened in the world must have been
preordained, for only through their orderly occurrence has it been possible
for life to take the direction it has taken. Y et within the absolutely rigid
scope of the occurrence of these events each of us is free, because we have
innate within us the power to assume any of the roles that have to be played
within any event; and it is we, ourselves, who choose in the end the role we
will play. Since the universal self creates all things from itself, it is in actual
truth all things and therefore does not consider life in terms of people but
only in terms of events. Events would approximate thoughts in the mind of
a supreme being, whose split into myriad manifestations would be to ensure
that it participated in all areas of each event in a form best suited to that
participation. Thus the Secret Self permeates all events, and the countless
forms it assumes, the multiplicity of masks that it dons to play its various
roles, appear separate and unique only to other incompletely manifested
beings, never to itself.

Freeing Psychic Energy
Our egoistic sense of separateness is an illusion deliberately fostered in our
mental and psychic makeup so that we are able to perform within the scope
of the kind of people we are. Y et there is no absolute decree that we must do
so, for at the same time that the illusion was fostered in us, power to break
it was implanted also. By recognizing our ability to condition our own
consciousness, we can expand that consciousness to encompass any role we
choose to play, and that is why we inherently are free and why each person
carries within them the power to master their own fate.
Decision looses a terrific psychic ener gy. It frees within us potentialities and
possibilities we are not even aware of. T o make up your mind is a wondrous
thing. It directs you toward your mental image, sets you on the path to its
realization with an ener gy that springs out of subterranean recesses.
Whatever you do you will do twice as well if you make up your mind what
you wish to accomplish. Even such a simple thing as trying to cross a street
becomes easier once you make up your mind that you

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and

it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in
anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed
down for many generations. But after observation and analysis,
when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to
the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”

loss	of	productivity	of	the	afflicted.

The	recent	1955	report	of	the	American	Cancer	Society,	stating	that	cancer

strikes	one	out	of	every	four	persons	in	the	United	States,	means	that	25%	of	the

people	are	cancerous.	Our	present	population	is	160,000,000.	Every	fourth

person,	or	25%	of	our	population	amounts	to	6,400,000	people.	Is	this	our

present	cancer	rate,	as	compared	to	only	224,000	two	years	ago	in	1953?	If	these

figures	are	right	then	our	cancer	rate	has	increased	from	128,000	in	1933	to

6,400,000	in	1955	which	is	an	increase	of	6,272,000	cases	of	cancer	in	the	short

span	of	22	years.	This	staggering	increase	in	a	preventable	disease	is	a	grave

reflection	upon	our	present	system	of	living	with	its	popularized	blood	pollution

practices	by	way	of	vaccination	campaigns	and	mass	poisoning	as	a	result	of

government	enforced	spraying	of	fruits	and	vegetables	with	deadly	lead	arsenate

and	other	poisons.	The	power	politics	of	the	drug	and	chemical	companies	have

also	influenced	legislation	to	set	aside	vast	sums	of	the	taxpayer’s	money	with

which	to	buy	their	poison	chemicals,	such	as	chlorine,	fluorides,	etc.,	for

contaminating	the	public	water	supply	and	for	enforcing	tuberculin	testing	of

cows.	The	people	are	told	that	these	practices	are	beneficial	but	facts	disclaim

these	statements.	(See	the	chapters	on	DRUGS	vs.	HEALTH	and	THE	CASE

AGAINST	TUBERCULIN—Book	II)

DOCTOR	FORESEES	A	NATION	OF	INVALIDS

Dr.	S.	S.	Goldwater,	New	York	Commissioner	of	Hospitals	pointed	out	in	The

Modern	Hospital	Magazine	that	the	present	measures	used	to	check	contagious

diseases	may	permit	of	longer	life—but	not	of	stronger	life.	As	a	result	of	the

drugs,	vaccines	and	other	suppressive	treatments	used	to	check	diseases,	he	says

that,	"chronic	diseases	are	growing	at	such	a	rate	that	America	may	become	a

nation	of	invalids.	Over	half	the	hospital	beds	are	filled	with	chronic	sufferers,

both	old	and	young."	(from	Health	Practitioner’s	Journal,	June,	1944)
FAULTY	CANCER	RESEARCH	IMPEDES	PROGRESS

There	is	no	argument	against	the	urgent	need	for	the	prevention	and	cure	of

cancer.	Doctors	as	well	as	laymen	recognize	the	dangers	of	this	advancing

menace;	but	there	is	great	confusion	and	conflict	regarding	theories	and	practices

used	in	treating	cancer.	The	medical	and	non-medical	schools	of	healing	have

opposing	views	which	set	up	a	state	of	warfare	between	them	instead	of	the	unity

and	cooperation	that	should	prevail	in	order	to	solve	this	critical	problem..	A	few

of	the	drugless	doctors	are	using	cancer	treatments	that	are	80%	more	effective

in	removing	cancer	than	those	used	and	endorsed	by	the	medical	profession	as	a

whole.	But	the	monopolistic	domination	of	the	A.M.A.	constantly	thwarts	these

efforts	toward	improvement	because	they	cannot	collect	the	fees.

It	is	no	secret	that	the	newspapers	are	also	muzzled	by	the	A.M.A.,	and	are	not

permitted	to	publish	any	health	news,	or	information	or	advertise	any	books

about	health	without	the	sanction	of	the	Medical	gestapo	through	their	hirelings

in	the	Better	Business	Bureaus.	If	health	information	reflects	unfavorably	on	the

medical	profession	or	exposes	its	rackets	it	is	immediately	suppressed	no	matter

how	factual	and	critical	to	life	it	may	be.	The	health	books	in	tax	supported

public	libraries	and	schools	are	also	limited	to	the	out-of-date,	erroneous,

"slanted"	data	passed	upon	or	written	by	medical	men.

THE	MEDICALLY	MADE	IRON	CURTAIN

Because	of	this	medically	made	iron	curtain,	the	public	is	shown	only	one	side

of	the	cancer	picture	and	is	constantly	being	drilled	on	the	one	theme	endorsed

by	the	medical	hierarchy—that	"there	are	only	three	proved	ways—and	only

three—to	curb	cancer,

1)	X-ray,
2)	radium,

3)	and	surgery,	either	singly	or	in	combination..."		—CANCER	FACTS,

American	Cancer	Society,	1955

If	it	is	true,	as	they	state,	that	the	medical	profession	has	three	proved	ways	to

cure	cancer,	why	is	there	such	a	rapid	increase	in	cancer	every	year?	Why	do	we

see	thousands	of	deaths	occurring	all	the	time,	of	those	who	have	been	treated	by

these	"proved"	methods?	Also,	why	do	we	have	this	never	ending	fund	raising
	cancer	campaigns	to	support	laboratories	that	are	supposed	to	be	hunting	a	cure

for	cancer?	If	one	of	these	claims	is	true,	it	cancels	out	the	other;	that	is:	if	they

have	a	proved	cure	for	cancer	then	it	proves	that	the	cancer	campaigns	are

merely	money	making	schemes	for	the	pleasure	and	profit	of	the	promoters.

On	the	other	hand,	if	they	know	that	they	have	no	cure	and	are	deliberately

taking	money	(large	sums)	from	their	patients	under	the	false	pretenses	of

offering	a	proved	cure	THAT	DOES	NOT	CURE,	but	instead	OFTEN	KILLS

THE	PATIENTS,	THEN	THEY	ARE	ENGAGED	IN	FRAUDULENT

PRACTICES	and	should	be	dealt	with	accordingly.	The	law	is	not	lenient	with

fraud	cases,	even	when	they	do	no	bodily	harm.	Many	innocent	drugless

practitioners	and	writers	of	non-medical	health	books	have	been	barred	from	the

mails	on	fraud	charges	merely	because	they	disagreed	with	accepted	medical

theories.	(See	chapter	on	MEDICAL	INTERFERENCE)

90%	DIE	OF	MEDICALLY	TREATED	CANCER
Medical	authorities,	themselves,	have	estimated	that	"over	90%	of	the	medically

diagnosed	cases	of	cancer	die	of	it	in	spite	of	frequent	applications	of	both

surgery	and	radiation."	Dr.	James	Ewing,	one	of	the	"expert	witnesses"	at	a

Senate	hearing,	admitted	this	high	death	rate	of	medically	treated	cancer	and

further	voiced	the	pessimistic	view	that	he	"did	not	believe	there	is	any

reasonable	expectation	of	a	great	discovery	entering	the	cancer	field	in	this	age."

This	indicates	that	he	also	believes	that	the	cancer	campaigns	and	laboratories

are	merely	in	the	business	for	profit.

Although	most	of	the	confessions	of	failure	have	been	made	in	the	privacy	of	the

medical	conference	chambers,	a	few	of	them	have	reached	the	public	by	way	of

reports	in	medical	journals	and	sometime	through	legal	investigation.	One	of	the

voluntary	confessions	was	made	by	Dr.	Raballiati,	who	stated,	"In	the	early	part

of	my	career	I	performed	over	500	major	operations	for	cancer	and	growths,	and

it	was	the	uniform	lack	of	success	with	the	knife	that	caused	me	to	search	for

 a family of antibody-like “ubiquitin” proteins.
I also made it clear to my students that each cell is an intelligent being
that can survive on its own, as scientists demonstrate when they remove
individual cells from the body and grow them in a culture. As I knew
intuitively when I was a child, these smart cells are imbued with intent
and purpose; they actively seek environments that support their survival
while simultaneously avoiding toxic or hostile ones. Like humans, single
cells analyze thousands of stimuli from the microenvironment they
inhabit. Through the analysis of this data, cells select appropriate
behavioral responses to ensure their survival.
Single cells are also capable of learning through these environmental
experiences and are able to create cellular memories, which they pass on
to their of fspring. For example, when a measles virus infects a child, an
immature immune cell is called in to create a protective protein antibody
against that virus. In the process, the cell must create a new gene to serve
as a blueprint in manufacturing the measles antibody protein.
The first step in generating a specific measles antibody gene occurs in
the nuclei of immature immune cells. Among their genes are a very lar ge
number of DNA segments that encode uniquely shaped snippets of
proteins. By randomly assembling and recombining these DNA
segments, immune cells create a vast array of dif ferent genes, each one
providing for a uniquely shaped antibody protein. When an immature
immune cell produces an antibody protein that is a “close” physical
complement to the invading measles virus, that cell will be activated.
Activated cells employ an amazing mechanism called affinity
maturation  that enables the cell to perfectly “adjust” the final shape of its
antibody protein, so that it will become a perfect complement to the
invading measles virus. (Li, et al, 2003; Adams, et al, 2003) Using a
process called somatic hypermutation,  activated immune cells make
hundreds of copies of their original antibody gene. However, each new
version of the gene is slightly mutated so that it will encode a slightly
dif ferent shaped antibody protein. The cell selects the variant gene that
makes the best fitting antibody. This selected version of the gene also
goes through repeated rounds of somatic hypermutation to further sculpt
the shape of the antibody to become a “perfect” physical complement ofthe measles virus. (W u, et al, 2003; Blanden and Steele 1998; Diaz and
Casali 2002; Gearhart 2002)
When the sculptured antibody locks on to the virus, it inactivates the
invader and marks it for destruction, thus protecting the child from the
ravages of measles. The cells retain the genetic “memory” of this
antibody, so that in the future if the individual is again exposed to
measles, the cells can immediately launch a protective immune response.
The new antibody gene can also be passed on to all the cell’ s progeny
when it divides. In this process, not only did the cell “learn” about the
measles virus, it also created a “memory” that will be inherited and
propagated by its daughter cells. This amazing feat of genetic
engineering is profoundly important because it represents an inherent
“intelligence” mechanism by which cells evolve. (Steele, et al, 1998)
T h e  O r i g i n s  o f  L i f e :  S m a r t  C e l l s  G e t  S m a r t e r
It shouldn’ t be surprising that cells are so smart. Single-celled
or ganisms were the first life forms on this planet. Fossil evidence reveals
they were here within 600 million years after the Earth was first formed.
For the next 2.75 billion years of the Earth’ s history, only free-living,
single-celled or ganisms—bacteria, algae, and amoeba-like protozoans—
populated the world.
Around 750 million years ago, these smart cells figured out how to get
smarter when the first multicellular or ganisms (plants and animals)
appeared. Multicellular life forms were initially loose communities or
“colonies” of single-celled or ganisms. At first, cellular communities
consisted of tens and hundreds of cells. But the evolutionary advantage
of living in a community soon led to or ganizations comprised of
millions, billions, and even trillions of socially interactive single cells.
Though each individual cell is of microscopic dimensions, the size of
multicellular communities may range from the barely visible to the
monolithic. Biologists have classified these or ganized communities
based on their structure as observed by the human eye. While the cellular
communities appear as single entities to the naked eye—a mouse, a dog,
a human—they are, in fact, highly or ganized associations of millions and
trillions of cells.The evolutionary push for ever -bigger communities is simply a
reflection of the biological imperative to survive. The more awareness an
or ganism has of its environment, the better its chances for survival.
When cells band together they increase their awareness exponentially. If
each cell were to be arbitrarily assigned an awareness value of X, then
each colonial or ganism would collectively have a potential awareness
value of at least X times the number of cells in the colony.
In order to survive at such high densities, the cells created structured
environments. These sophisticated communities subdivided the workload
with more precision and ef fectiveness than the ever -changing
or ganizational charts that are a fact of life in big corporations. It proved
more ef ficient for the community to have individual cells assigned to
specialized tasks. In the development of animals and plants, cells begin
to acquire these specialized functions in the embryo. A process of
cytological specialization enables the cells to form the specific tissues
and or gans of the body. Over time, this pattern of differ entiation, i.e., the
distribution of the workload among the members of the community,
became embedded in the genes of every cell in the community,
significantly increasing the or ganism’ s ef ficiency and its ability to
survive.
In lar ger or ganisms, for example, only a small percentage of cells are
concerned with reading and responding to environmental stimuli. That is
the role of groups of specialized cells that form the tissues and or gans of
the nervous system. The function of the nervous system is to perceive the
environment and coordinate the behavior of all the other cells in the vast
cellular community.
Division of labor among the cells in the community of fered an
additional survival advantage. The ef ficiency it of fered enabled more
cells to live on less. Consider the old adage: “T wo can live as cheaply as
one.” Or consider the construction costs of building a two-bedroom
single home versus the cost of building a two-bedroom apartment in a
hundred-apartment complex. T o survive, each cell is required to expend
a certain amount of ener gy. The amount of ener gy conserved by
individuals living in a community contributes to both an increased
survival advantage and a better quality of life.
In American capitalism, Henry Ford saw the tactical advantage in the
dif ferentiated form of communal ef fort and employed it in creating hisassembly line system of manufacturing cars. Before Ford, a small team
of multiskilled workers would require a week or two to build a single
automobile. Ford or ganized his shop so that every worker was
responsible for only one specialized job. He stationed a lar ge number of
these dif ferentiated workers along a single row, the assembly line, and
passed the developing car from one specialist to the next. The ef ficiency
of job specialization enabled Ford to produce a new automobile in ninety
minutes rather than weeks.
Unfortunately, we conveniently “for got” about the cooperation
necessary for evolution when Charles Darwin emphasized a radically
dif ferent theory about the emer gence of life. He concluded 150 years ago
that living or ganisms are perpetually embroiled in a “struggle for
existence.” For Darwin, struggle and violence are not only a part of
animal (human) nature but the principal “forces” behind evolutionary
advancement. In the final chapter of The Origin of Species: By Means of
Natural Selection, Or, The Pr eservation Of Favour ed Races In The
Struggle For Life,  Darwin wrote of an inevitable “struggle for life” and
that evolution was driven by “the war of nature, from famine and death.”
Couple that with Darwin’ s notion that evolution is random and you have
a world, as poetically described by T ennyson, that can be characterized
as “red in tooth and claw,” a series of meaningless, bloody battles for
survival.

Though Darwin is by far the most famous evolutionist, the first
scientist to establish evolution as a scientific fact was the distinguished
French biologist Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck. (Lamarck 1809, 1914, 1963)
Even Ernst Mayr, the leading architect of “neo Darwinism,” a
modernization of Darwin’ s theory that incorporates twentieth-century
molecular genetics, concedes that Lamarck was the pioneer. In his classic
1970 book, Evolution and the Diversity of Life,  (Mayr
