Eliminate Junk Food For Better Health
Itiswell known thatheart disease, stroke, cancer,diabetes, arteriosclerosis, andcir-
rhosis oftheliver areamong theleading causes ofdisease intheUnited States today.
What wemust doistoremove thecause behind thecause. What caused theheart dis-
ease, stroke orcancer? AsHygienists weknow thattheunderlying cause ofalldisease
istoxicosis. Butnow wemust askourselves another question. What caused thetoxicosis
todevelop? Well,itcould beanumber offactors. Butoneofthemain culprits isthejunk
food in our diet.
During asession oftheSelect Committee onNutrition andHuman Needs, Senator
Charles H.Percy ofIllinois stated that“experts have found enough incriminating evi-
dence toconclude thatoursuper -rich, fat-loaded, addictive andsugar -filled American
dietissending many ofustoearly graves unnecessarily.”Hesays thatsimple changes
inthedietwillproduct positive results ingood health andagrees thatthiswould beafar
better choice than spending money for medical care.Cellular Health Depends Upon The Quality of the Nutrients
Theimmune system, theblood, thefluids which bathe thetissues canbemarkedly
influenced bythenutrients available tothebody.Inother words, thehealth ofallour
cells andtissues depends upon thequality ofthenutrients which areavailable tothem.
When these nutrients have become altered ordestroyed through processing, refining,
cooking, etc., the health of the cells within the entire or ganism will decline as a result.
The Body Responds
The body responds toallinfluences anddeals with them.asthey arise. When we
consume food which isladen with contaminants such asartificial preservatives andoth-
eradditives, thebody treats these aspoisons andattempts toeliminate them asrapidly
aspossible. Those substances which cannot beeliminated through regular channels of
elimination arestored inthetissues andaccumulate there. This forms thebasis ofatox-
emic state. When toxins accumulate toacertain extent thebody makes aconcerted effort
toriditself ofthisunwanted debris. Thus, wewitness signs ofacute disease. Itmay bein
theform ofacold, bronchitis, flu,skin eruptions, diarrhea, etc.Ifatthatpoint symptoms
are suppressed, we have the basis for chronic degenerative disease.
Eliminative Causes
Inorder toeliminate disease wemust first eliminate thecause ofdisease. Ifyouare
consuming junk food, thispractice must bestopped ifhealth istoberegained. Byjunk
food wemean foods thathave been soaltered andimpaired intheprocess ofmanufac-
turing, bleaching, canning, cooking, preserving, pickling, etc., thatthey arenolonger as
well fitted to meet the needs of the body as they were in the state Nature prepared them.
Wedonotneed junk foods. Wecandelight intheexquisitive flavors ofallthefresh
fruits which aresoeasily available now.These foods need noaltering orrefining tomake
them truly appealing.
Adietoffresh fruits, vegetables, nuts andseeds isonewhich willresult intruehealth
and vigor. Eliminate junk foods and your body will respond favorably.
Article #3: Food In Your Poison by Viktoras H. Kulvinskas
Although Americans areeating more, (inspite ofhigh food prices), they arereceiving
lessnourishment. Real food, forthemost part, isvirtually unknown. Most Americans
don’tcare. Their attachment tofood isemotional andinduced byadvertisement. They
load their shopping carts with avariety ofcolorful, unnutritious, plastic foods, saturated
with synthetic ingredients. “Oh! Butittastes sogood,” they exclaim asthey endlessly
cram their stomachs, but remain unsatisfied.
More andmore people arebecoming conscious that both shelved andperishable
products inthesupermarkets docontain awide array ofpoisons. Themass media, even
asthey glorify such products, announce thatthey areembalmed with over 3,000 ques-
tionable chemicals.
Theaverage consumer asdefined byscientific literature andpopular publications is
aphenomenon ofthe20th century,with noantecedent inhistory.There wasatime when
noonedined onpoisons andcalled itlunch. Food producers aredeliberately supple-
menting thedietwith food additives ofatoxic nature attherateofover three pounds per
year for every person in America.
Astranger inourland, reading labels, might wonder whether American food istoo
“fresh.” Almost every package hassomething added topreserve “freshness”: BHT,sodi-
umproprionate andahost ofother preservatives. After a“fresh” imitation dinner,a
dizzy spell, difficulty inbreathing, orapeculiar feeling inthestomach isvery common.
Some even think itislove when thepulse rateincreases andthey become feverish. Oth-ersturntothe“imitation lifebox” forrelief from their distress. Every other commercial,
served attherateof60doses perhour,encourages food habits thatlead todisease or
prescribes apotion toalleviate food-induced illness. They lullusintothebelief thatitis
all right to sin as long as we turn to the right product for for giveness.
Most shoppers in1970 anticipated theremoval ofcyclamates from themarket. They
may instead discover thatthefineprint onthelabel warns thattheadditive may bedan-
gerous toone’shealth. Yetthischemical iscapable ofinducing cancer,andrecent tests
show thatcalcium andsodium cyclamate caninduce chromosome breakage inthehu-
man leucocyte invitro andinratspermatogonial cells invito. Itseffects arevery similar
toatype ofchromosome damage reported forLSD aswell ascaffeine when used in
large doses.
Anarticle headlined: “Are Cancerous Chickens Edible?” Yes!People willeatany-
thing. “Iftumors aredetected onthewing ofabird, thewing could becutoffandused
inproducts likehotdogs andtherestofthebirdsold ascut-up chicken—all supposedly
without posing a threat to human health.”
Itiswell known tochemists thatsubjecting organic compounds tohigh temperatures
produces complex polycyclic compounds bypyrolysis. Several carcinogens areincluded
inthisgroup ofcompounds. Abenzopyrine (carcinogenic) content, ashigh as50micro-
grams perkgwasfound insome instances. Itseems toarise from pyrolysis offatwhen
cooking food. Theamount produced increases with increased fatcontent andlonger and
closer exposure ofthefood totheflame. Benzopyrine isfound alsoinallsmoked foods.
The relatively higher incidence ofgastric cancer inNorthern Russia andIceland has
been related tothelargequantity ofsmoked fisheaten bytheinhabitants ofthese re-
gions. Inareview ofcancer -causing properties ofbenzopyrine, itwasfound tobequite
high in salami, salmon, bacon and provola.
Eating heated fatsmay bedeadly.Animals fedcooked fatdieprematurely said Dr.
R.Kurkella, University ofHelsinki. Research hasdiscovered thatthemore fataperson
eats, the shorter will be the life span.
Meat, themost perishable (and most expensive) ofallfoods isalso oneofthemost
tampered with. Toseeexactly how meat isproduced oneshould read theAnimal Ma-
chine byRuth Harrison. Itisthestory ofanimal factories, where animals may liveout
their lives indarkness, immobile insteaming pens from birth todeath, fedbyconveyers

inghouse. Themeat isdoctored up,forthebenefit ofthegullible public, with aesthetic
beautifiers, stink reducers, taste accentuators, color additives, drug camouflagers, nutri-
tive“enhancers,” bleaching agents anddeath certificate. Nocorpse gets such aface lift
bytheembalmers andwith good reason, forthecorpse issoon buried, whereas salami,
hotdogs, bologna, and chicken may sit on the shelves for months.

Article #3: Nitrogen Fixation by John Tobe
Here is how nature provides nitrogen for plants in the soil.
Leguminous crops such asalfalfa, clover,etc., areprobably,next tolightning, the
most important sources of or ganic nitrogen.
While some ofyoumay believe thatthegods andnature have neglected thegood
earth and mankind, I want to assure you that this is not true.
Itisfixed bynatural phenomena andoccurrence thatallofthenitrogen required by
thegood earth isputintoitbyasimple, natural, trouble freeway.Itisonly uptoman to
use it wisely.
Itismyhumble belief thattheLord didnotever intend mankind todoHiswork for
Him. Intruth, man islucky ifhecandohisown work properly—never mind doing any-
thing for the Lord.
Leguminous crops areproperly established anddivided through theentire earth’ s
surface, including thedeserts. This family notonly contributes awide range offorage
plants butalsoplants used extensively forfood, and, lastbutnotleast, asbeautiful orna-
mentals. It consists of more than 430 genera and 10,000 species.
This family isprobably oneoftheeasiest ofalltorecognize because oftheshape of
the fruit which is invariably a legume or true pod, opening along tube sutures.
Many noted andrespected authorities consider thisfamily themost important family
of plants in the horticultural world or any other world, says I!
When Italktoyouabout technical things, IcanjustfeelIyoudrawing intothatthick
shell ofyours sothatyou’ll beimpervious tomyrailing. But, says I,“How areyougo-
ing to know and learn about nature’ s way if you don’ t listen?”
Itiswritten thatoccasionally theroad toknowledge gets abittechnical...butbear
up to it—there is much virtue and value therein.
Themost important characteristic ofthisfamily isthefactallofthem have roots or
tubercles or nodules which certain soil microor ganisms invade.
Here thebacteria obtains carbonaceous food from theplant andcarries ontheni-
trogen fixation process, storing uptheresulting nitrogeneous food material. This, ifnot
used bytheplant itself, isadded tothesoilwhen aplant diesanditsroots decay...there-
by becoming available to other plants.
Invariably leguminous crops leave thesoilinmuch better shape when they diethan
itwaswhen they first started togrow.That iswhy clovers, soya beans, vetches andal-
falfa aretreated ascover crops orgreen manures because they positively anddefinitely,
without additional cost, increase thenitrogen content ofthesoil—apart from adding hu-
mus.
I’lljustname afewmembers ofthisfamily atrandom: themimosa, acacia, genists
cytisus, laburnum, wisteria, robina, lupinus, clover, alfalfa, beans, peas, vetch.
The way scientists would describe nitrogen fixation is as follows:
“Gaseous nitrogen diffusing intothesoilfrom theairisconverted intouseable nitro-
genbythemechanism oftheleguminous plants, combined with thebacterial action of
themicroor ganisms living initsroots. This actofconversion iswhat isknown asnitro-
genfixation andbythismeans nature provides simple nitrogen totheearth foritscrops.”
Therefore, notonly isthisplant able tosecure thenitrogen itneeds even when there
isinsuf ficient nitrogen inthesoil...butthese legumes actually addtothatsupply andas
far as nitrogen is concerned, leaves the land more fertile than before they grew.
Animal manures areinvariably rich innitrogen andthereason isvery simple and
obvious...because animal fareandforage isoften heavy inleguminous crops andthey
contain lar ge quantities of nitrogen.There isoneimportant factor thatshould ‘interest horticulturists about thisfamily
andthatisthattheflowers areinvariably very showy andsome ofourmost important
trees, shrubs and vines belong to this group.
Commit thistomemory...this family ofplants hastherareability toabsorb freeni-
trogen from the air.
While back more than 2,000 years agothey didnotperhaps know what weknow,
andthisisthatthese plants provided themuch needed nitrogen tothesoil, theRomans
used them extensively for soil improvement.

they have begun anew way oflife,
one that has untold promise.
TheWorld Health Organization defines health as“physical, mental, social well-be-
ing,notmerely theabsence ofdisease orinfirmity.”Wecanaddthatourgoal isinner
peace and really this is the ultimate goal!
Rarely arediseases ofthescalp andhairlife-threatening. Perhaps itisforthisreason
thatpresentation ofthefourfold action plan issoimportant. Ithelps clients tounderstand
thattheir present condition isremedial, notbyoutwardly orinwardly applied substances,
butrather acondition inwhich thebody canconstructively redirect itsenergies andfac-
ulties to restoring high-level health. The plan teaches how to provide the tools.
63.5.2 The Consultation
When theclient makes hisfirst contact andrequests aconsultation, heshould be
asked toprovide youwith adietprofile which covers aminimum period ofoneweek
plus apersonal andmedical history.Anofficeform may bemailed tohimwhich hecan
filloutprior tohisappointment. These may then bebrought totheofficeforyour con-
sideration.
63.5.2.1 Inquiry
The first meeting should open with the inquiry.
This partoftheconsultation offersanopportunity fortheclient toexpress himself,
topresent hisevaluation ofhiscondition. Ifthelesions orother conditions arenotvisi-
ble, he can describe them and give his reaction both to them and to past treatments.
Theclient should have time toexpress himself, how heisfeeling, togive anevalua-
tionofhimself, dietetically andperhaps otherwise. Clients have aneed torelieve them-
selves verbally of concerns, to express emotional and other specific needs.
Thefirst meeting iscritical. Itisatthistime thattheHygienic practitioner must im-
parttotheclient, both byaction andbydeed, thefactthatheempathizes with theclient
andalso thathehasasolution tooffer.However,letuspoint outatthisjuncture that,
while theHygienic practitioner should listen, should empathize, andthen give ofhis
best advice, hemust also learn that, once theclient leaves hisoffice, theresponsibility
from thatpoint onrests with theclient toputallrecommendations intopractice; inother
words, tocarry theball. Ifthepractitioner does notlearn todothis, hewillsoon “burn
out” emotionally.
63.5.2.2 Visual Examination
Following the inquiry comes the visual examination.
Initial visual examination canbedone along gross lines, ofcourse, during theinquiry
partofthissession. However,psychologically speaking, itiswell totake acloser look at
allaffected parts andnote theextent oftheafflicted area orareas. Notes should betaken.
These will assist the practitioner in noting progress from one meeting to the next.
Werecommend thatagood quality magnifying glass with ahandle beused forthis
close examination. Notes should bemade astosizeofpustules, ifany,theprecise loca-
tionofanyaffected areas, andthesizeofthearea affected, notfordiagnostic purposes,
butrather toassist youinevaluating theon-going improvement inthecondition asthe
client responds toHygienic measures correctly applied. Such records arealsoimportant
in the event that you are called upon to explain procedure.
63.5.3 Kinds of Clients
Clients who consult youregarding diseases ofthehairandscalp, generally fallinto
two types:1.Those who willingly andcheerfully carry outallsuggestions made byyoubecause they
have full confidence in your advice. This group is further subdivided into two groups:
1.Those who have endured thetorments ofitching, flaking, ortheoozing ofpusandwa-
terysecretions forsolong thatthey have almost despaired ofever finding relief andare
now willing totryeven what they may consider asbeing bizarre andstrange sugges-
tions.
2.Those who have explicit confidence inyoubecause they have previously witnessed pos-
itive results inasimilar case under your supervision orhave been referred toyouby
someone in whom they have much confidence.
2.Those who seek your advice with acertain amount ofskepticism and/orfear.This group
can also be divided into two subgroups:
1.Theelderly who have long been accustomed todoing things inacertain way.These in-
dividuals have well etched habit nerve pathways andrequire careful handling ifsuccess
is to be achieved.
2.Persons who consider their condition remedial bytheuseof“medicines,” even though
they may have met with repeated failures. These individuals arestill searching fora
“cure.” They must bedeprogrammed andreeducated inthetrueways ofhealth andheal-
ing.
Through experience onelearns toevaluate theparticular category inwhich aclient
belongs. Once thishasbeen accomplished, itispossible toproceed inaplanned orderly
way.
63.5.3.1 Group One
Alldiseases areserious, ofcourse. Milder hairandscalp disorders often represent a
beginning, aforetaste ofmore involved pathologies thatwillmost certainly arise ifre-
medial steps arenotinstigated. Thepresent condition, mild orserious, represents anat-
tempt bythebody tocleanse itself ofaburden which istoogreat forthebody tohandle
by usual eliminating procedures.
Fortunately members ofthisgroup have confidence inyouandwillfollow your in-
structions. Forthese clients weimmediately recommend aprolonged fast, thetime sug-
gested depending upon client response, emotionally andphysically,tothisprocedure.
Weparticularly recommend aprolonged fastincases ofpsoriasis andchronic eczema
andespecially when these conditions have seated themselves onthescalp andareac-
companied bysevere itching and/orflaking. Remedial fasting willdowhat topical appli-
cations cannever do,getatthecause ofthetrouble, whether itbeintheconstitution of
theindividual, inaderanged metabolic inner state, simply astate ofhypersensitiveness,
aninjury ofsome kind, orthepresence ofimbedded fungus spores. Fasting represents
do-it-yourself sur gery: cutting out the cause.
According toOtto H.F.Buchinger,M.D., fasting isalways theremedy ofchoice in
cases ofeczema andpsoriasis andthatmost persons will respond favorably provided
thatthey have nothadrecourse tomany ofsuch heroic treatments astheconstant appli-
cation ofhighly-irritating substances over aprolonged period oftime ortoradiological
procedures as, for example, X rays.
Buchinger points out,andwehave alsoobserved thissame fact, thatquite often even
following aprolonged fast, patches ofeczema andpsoriasis willpersist, these represent-
ing“safety-valves,” toquote him, themeans whereby thebody leaves away open for
exudation ofwastes should theneed arise. These small patches serve asareminder to
the af flicted person not to relax in the ways of health.
Wearereminded ofoneclient whose face andscalp were covered with psoriatic
patches before fasting. After several short fasts, thescalp entirely cleared butaminute
patch remained behind each car.This particular person enjoyed golfing andmeeting with
friends after amatch atthe“19th hole” totalkabout common subjects ofinterest andtohave abeer.Invariably,adayorsolater,these patches would enlar ge,asilent reminder
that obtaining health represents a commitment to a lifetime of correct living.
Most clients who experience theflaking ofpsoriasis ortheextreme itching of
eczematous conditions aremore than willing tolisten toaccounts ofthebenefits that
may accrue tothem should they decide toundertake anextended fast. However,there
are exceptions.
Years agoaclose friend who wasafflicted with psoriasis came tovisit usforafew
weeks. Whenever shecombed andbrushed herhair,theflakes would flyinalldirec-
tions. Hercondition was sobadthatwefinally resorted tocovering thefurniture with
sheets which wethen periodically took outside foragood shaking. Wewere compelled
to vacuum the floor in her bedroom every morning.
Forover forty years thiswoman hastried every “remedy” onthemarket andevery
poison thathundreds ofmedical “authorities” have prescribed. Shehastried kinds ofdi-
ets:with andwithout fat,with andwithout salt, shehastried high-protein andlow-pro-
teindiets, high carbohydrate andlow-carbohydrate diets. Shehasconstently refused to
fast. She still has her psoriasis.
Her scalp still sloughs offthesick andwounded cells, dothemany patches that
cover various parts ofherbody.Inspite ofallherfutile attempts tofind “relief,” she
stillretains faith in“medicines.” Shestillbelieves thatmedical “science” will beable
toprovide themagic “cure.” She still refuses totrytheonepositive step which has
been demonstrated inhundreds ofcases tobecapable ofpermitting thebody toheal the
hurt—the simple fast. Contrast this experience with that of John given in Lesson 61!
Clients should beinstructed inthemerits ofthefast


okhave where 1,346 adults were classified according totheir intake ofsalt.
There were three categories: lowintake (never adds salttofood); average intake
(adds saltafter tasting ifinsuf ficiently salty); andhigh intake (customarily adds salt
before tasting).
Oftheadults inthestudy,105were found tobehypertensive. Ofallthesubjects
who hadalowintake ofsalt, onewashypertensive. Thehigh-intake group had61
cases of hypertension.
Article #1: Coronary Thrombosis by Dr. Robert R. Gross, D.C., Ph.D.
Blood Coagulation
Causes of Intravascular Clotting
Medical T reatmentNatural Hygienic Care
Theleading fatal affliction killing people intheprime oflifeiscoronary thrombosis.
This isablood clotoccurring inthearteries oftheheart andoccluding it(coronary oc-
clusion). Thearea supplied with blood byblocked arteries loses itssource ofnutrition
andoxygen anddegenerates. This area weakens andnonfunctioning scar tissue forms.
A“myocardial infarction” with consequent heart disturbance anddegeneration hasoc-
curred. Iftheblock issevere, death comes very quickly.Ifitisamilder condition, the
patient may recover in a few weeks through complete bed rest.
Ablood clot inablood vessel isa“thrombus.” When itbecomes detached from
vessel walls andfloats intheblood itiscalled an“embolus.” The resultant condition
isknown as“thrombosis.” Thrombi may lodge inaheart artery (coronary artery), plug
it,andblock blood supply toawedge-shaped heart muscle section. Floating clots may
reach thebrain, obstruct blood toimportant motor areas andresult inpartial orcomplete
paralysis: “astroke.” Clots may travel tothelungs andocclude anartery causing “pul-
monary embolism.”
Blood Coagulation
Circulating blood inthecardiovascular (heart andblood vessel) system does notnor-
mally clot. When itisshed andexposed toair,itcoagulates toform clots. Theclotting
mechanism consists of:thromboplastin,released from injured blood vessel walls, white
blood corpuscles andblood platelets intheblood; prothrombin,aprotein manufactured
intheliver andconverted intothrombin bythromboplastin; thrombin ;fibrinogen,apro-
teinmanufactured intheliver andconverted intofibrin bythrombin; fibrin, which forms
lace networks, entrapping platelets (thrombocytes). A clot is produced.
Clotting isactivated bythepresence intheblood ofcalcium andsubstances known
as“serum accelerators.” Prevention ofclots innormal blood isduetothepresence of
such substances asanti-thrombin, fibrinolysin, andheparin. Shed blood clots because
these substances areoxidized andinactivated. Clots normally plug wounds invessels,
preventing hemorrhage. Calcium isthekeyfactor innormal clotting; ifinactivated or
removed, blood will not, clot.
Coronary thrombosis occurs, usually,without warning. Many victims “had never
been sick adayintheir lives” or“just hadaheart check-up anditwasfine.” Truthfully,
thesubject hadbeen eating andliving incorrectly most ofhislife.Heorshewascertain-
lysickwith toxemia (general poisoning). Resultant chemical changes intheblood caus-
esdisequilibrium intheclotting mechanism. Clots formed adhering totheblood vessel’ s
internal walls. Heavy work, eating anunusually largemeal, excessive sexindulgence,
over-exercise andemotional andtemperamental outbursts cause dislodgement ofclots
leading to thrombosis.
Thepatient isprostrated andfalls totheground with ashen-faced pallor; pain inthe
heart region issevere, constricting andlancinating; pulse isthready—rapid, irregular
and feeble; breathing becomes shallow and rapid; he has clammy, cold perspiration.
Tendency toward intravascular (within blood vessels) clotting isaserious hazard to
life.Clots ofcoronary (heart) andcerebral (brain) arteries andthelungs often prove fa-
tal.Ifsuch anepisode occurs once, likely,others willform forcausation stillremains.
Thelegveins andheart areusual sites ofclotting. Clots won’ tproduce dangerous conse-
quences unless they break offandfloat inthecirculation toobstruct arteries, depriving
avital tissue ofblood supply.Clots canconsist ofcoagulated blood orfatdroplets, air
pockets, clumps of bacteria, tumor tissue, or inflamed heart vascular tissue.
Causes of Intravascular Clotting
Intravascular clotting isoften acomplication following surgery.Coagulation ofshed
blood inside (internal bleeding) thebody plays aroleinpostoperative adhesions. Clot-tingoccurs when theblood slows up(stasis) asinvaricose veins, some heart difficulties
(auricular fibrillation) andininjuries toblood vessel walls from bruises, cuts, orhypo-
dermic needle injections. Clotting results from inflammation ofvessel walls inphlebitis
(vein inflammation) and certain diseases of the heart valves.
Thebasic andfundamental blood clotting cause ischange inchemical composition
ofblood duetoincorrect feeding habits. Acid tendency oftheblood results from eating
devitalized, demineralized, anddevitaminized foods as:white sugar,white bread, pas-
teurized milk, sweet rolls, crackers, cakes, cookies, biscuits, sweet desserts, icecream,
softdrinks, pie,potato chips, candies, jellies, jams, buns, syrups, thickened gravies, hot
cakes, waffles, drycereals, alcohol, meats, chicken, fishandspaghetti. Arteries degener-
ateordeteriorate. Wallsofvessels thicken (atheroma) andretard blood; itsludges easily
andclots, obstructing narrow diseased arteries. Inobstructions affecting largesections
oftheheart, resulting myocardial infarcts candeteriorate sobadly thatinsuf ficient pow-
erremains toeffectadequate circulation. The heart wall becomes soweakened thatit
ruptures fatally.
Themajority of“coronary” patients, however,have agood chance tolive. Sufficient
compensation andenlar gement occur,permitting theheart tofunction effectively.Other
blood vessels areformed bynature andassume thecirculatory duties oftheoccluded
one. This is called “collateral circulation.”
Medical Treatment
Physicians use“anti-coagulants” todissolve formed, clots andprevent further clot
formation. They arerutin, hirudin, heparin anddicoumarol. Like other drugs they are
devastating, give afalse sense ofsecurity tothepatient, andproduce chronic disease.
They weaken walls (intercellular substance) ofblood vessels andfatal hemorrhages can
occur,internally andexternally.Causes ofinternal clotting persist anddanger ofrecur-
rences remains. Furthermore, thevital energyofthebody isdepleted byalldrugs and
other serious derangements occur in addition to clotting.
Natural Hygienic Care
Annual physical fitness examinations which thePresident received from army physi-
cians failed toprotect him from, acoronary thrombosis. Increasing medical examina-
tions failed toreduce incidence ofdeaths from this“heart disease.” Toovercome this
abnormal tendency no medical examinations or drugs, shots or pills are required.
Thereal“treatment” isrestandquietude which permits theheart tofunction normal-
ly again. T ime, perseverance and inactivity are required.
Complete fasting (drinking only distilled water) several days under competent super-
vision should beundertaken immediately.This physiological restreconstitutes vitality
ofthebody andaccelerates internal purification processes. Itenables theinnate healing
powers of the body to manifest themselves unobstructedly and ef ficiently.
Hygienic feeding isessential. Raw fruits, nuts andvegetables, whole grain products
andnatural sweets likeraisins, figsanddates should form thedietary.These vital foods
keep theblood stream clean andhelp heal degenerated arteries byproducing general im-
proved health.
Habitual living intension with itsdestructive emotions—anxiety,depression, worry,
fear,apprehension—is oneofthechief causes ofcoronary thrombosis. This mental ten-
sion, incorrectly “nervous tension,” makes theindividual sick andmiserable andexerts
destructive forces (through the nervous and hormonal systems).

Ifyoucould even attempt torunfifty miles every day,youwould quickly discover

better health.
It’ssimply notso,andanyexcess whether indiet, exercise, oreven relaxation, will
have negative ef fects on your health.

Withnutrition, “more” isnot“better.”Enough isenough isenough, sowhy burden

86.2.2 Who’s to Blame?
Who arethepeople who arepromoting thesupplemental approach tonutrition and
why arethey sosuccessful? Theanswer isthatthere isawilling, gullible public eager to
take theeasy way outwhen itcomes tohealth anddiet, andthere areclever spokesmen
and vested interests who do a superior job of selling hogwash to the people.
Let’sseewhy thesupplemental school ofnutrition hassuch astrong appeal, andwho
its active supporters are.
86.3. The Appeal Of The Supplement School
86.3.1 Eat Anything Y ou W ant!
Youmay wish totryaninteresting experiment, ifyouhave ayoung child. When the
child becomes hungry,offerhim orhereither apiece offresh fruit oralargevitamin
capsule tochoose from. Asilly experiment, right? Ofcourse thechild oranyadult who
istruly hungry willselect theeasily identifiable food orfruit andbypass thecolorless,
odorless and tasteless pill.
YetAmericans regularly gobble pills, capsules, andpowders asasubstitute fornat-
uralfoods andwholesome nutrition. Why isthat? Why would anadult puthisfaith and
good health inanunidentifiable pillshaken outofabottle? Why would anyone eatcap-
sules, pills, vitamin supplements andmineral potions instead offresh, delicious, succu-
lent and sweet fruits and vegetables?
There areseveral reasons why the“pill school ofnutrition” holds such apowerful
fascination fortoday’ sadults. Let’slook atthereasons thatpeople arefooled intobuying
and swallowing pills for nutrition instead of good wholesome food.
86.3.1 Eat Anything You Want!
One morning Ifound myself inabreakfast doughnut shop near anelementary
school. Iwas getting change foramorning newspaper when Ilooked over toatable
where a mother had her two school children.
The mother was handing theboyandgirlacupoffrozen orange juice andabig
sticky sweet rollfortheir breakfast before shedropped them offatthenearby school.Asthechildren atethesugar -laden junk food forbreakfast, themother reached intoher
purse andcarefully pulled outapiece oftissue paper thatheld twohuge vitamin cap-
sules.
Inbetween bites ofthedoughnuts, shepopped thepillintoherson’sanddaughter ’s
mouths. “Now swallow your vitamins soyou’ll bestrong andhealthy,”sheprompted.
Sheabsent-mindedly litacigarette andfeltsatisfied thatshehaddischar gedhermoth-
erlyduties sowell. Inonefellswoop, shehadneutralized thebadeffects ofadoughnut
breakfast andassuaged herguilt byjuststicking vitamin pills intoherchildren’ smouths.
Eatanything youlike, butjusttake your magic vitamin pillandallisforgiven. All
ofyour nutritional problems wiped outwith justoneswallow.Isthere anywonder that
there is such a strong appeal for a pill?
Thepublic likes the“pill concept.” Itisanoncontroversial approach tonutrition that
does notrequire anychanges indietorlifestyle. Youcancontinue eating your favorite
junk foods andyounever have toquestion orface your badliving habits. Vitamin pills
anddietary supplements arecrutches forthenutritionally crippled. They areeasy tostan-
dardize, profitable topromote, andgive theappearance ofeffects without requiring any
efforts.
Quite simply,thepillapproach tonutrition ispopular notbecause ofwhat itdoes,
butwhat itdoes notrequire ustodo—change thepoor eating andliving habits thatmake
us turn to supplements in the first place.
86.4. The Supplementalists
86.4.1 W riters That Aren’ t Right
86.4.2 A Supplement Proponent
86.4.3 A Catalog of Pills and Supplements
86.4.4 The Pill Store
The supplemental school ofnutrition hasthree categories ofsupporters: 1)Vocal
spokesmen who seek toattract afollowing; 2)Magazines andpublications thatcater to
advertisers andthesupplement industry; and3)Health food stores andmanufacturers of
thesupplements. While itisnonproductive toengage inname calling andfinger point-
ing,youshould beaware ofthedifferent approaches taken bythese supporters ofthe
supplement approach to good health.
86.4.1 Writers That Aren’t Right
Every fewyears, anew spokesman forthesupplement school ofnutrition arrives
atthenewsstands with thesame message forthemasses: Swallow more pills forbetter
health. The message may beworked differently; itmay becouched innew seductive
phrases such as“super -nutrition” or“therapeutic nutrients” or“meganutrition,” butthe
point isalways thesame: Continue with your poor dietary habits, buttake amagical sup-
plement and your problems will disappear.
They write about “megavitamins,” “magic minerals,” and “longevity enzymes.”
They promise yousalvation inabottle andrelief inavitamin store. They quote miracu-
lous cures effected byexotic nutritional additives andpills. And they make money sell-
ing their books and articles to an eager public that is nutritionally naive.
86.4.2 A Supplement Proponent
Perhaps nosadder testimony totheineffectiveness anddangers ofpill-gulping can
befound than from thewords ofawoman known worldwide forherrecommendations
of daily supplements: Adelle Davis.
Mrs. Davis wasawell-known andoutspoken proponent ofthesupplemental school
ofnutrition. Herbook Let’sEatRight toKeep Fitsold several million copies anditisfullofrecommendations forvarious supplements, pills, extracts, andother nonfood sub-
stances. When asked byanindividual what herdaily dietary routine islike, thewoman
responded:
“For years Ihave taken after breakfast acapsule containing 25,000 units ofvitamin
Aand2,500 units ofvitamin D,both from fish-liver oil;200or300units ofvitamin E
ord-alpha tocopherol acetate distilled from soyoil;atablet containing 5milligrams of
iodine taken daily,and500milligrams ormore ofvitamin C.Withmyother meals, Ialso
take three tablets ofcalcium combined with magnesium, andsometimes another tablet
ofmagnesium oxide alone tobalance thecalcium inthemilk Idrink. IfI’ve eaten salty
food, Iaddanother three tablets ormore ofpotassium chloride, 180milligrams each.
Besides yeast and liver, I also take with each meal two B-complex vitamins.”
Thewoman wastaking about 20to30pills every dayofherlife.“People frequently
asked mehow long they should take supplements,” Adelle Davis wrote. “Iamtempted
totellthem, ‘Until yougettired ofgood health.’” Thewoman concluded herdiscussion
ofnutrition with thestatement: “Iexpect totake supplements aslong asIlive, though I
wish I might get all nutrients from foods.”
Adelle Davis didindeed take supplements aslong asshelived—until shedied of
cancer.
Adelle Davis wasnotalone; other active promoters andwriters who have ballyhobed
themarvelous effects tobegained from supplements, pills, andpotions have also en-
joyed poor health andpremature death. Quite frankly,thesuccess orfailure ofanutri-
tional school ofthought should begauged only bythehealth orsickness ofitspropo-
nents andspokesmen. The supplement school ofnutrition hashadadismal history in
this respect.
86.4.3 A Catalog of Pills and Supplements
Today there areabout ahalfdozen magazines andascore ofpopular periodicals that
consistently promote theuseofsupplements intheir pages. Their pages aresofullof
adsandcome-ons forsupplements thatthey appear tobenothing more than catalogs of
wonder drugs. And these magazines exist for one reason:
Money.The majority ofadvertising inthese “health” magazines comes from sup-
plement andvitamin manufacturers. Doyouexpect toseeanhonest article thatexposes
thed


knee joint isdefinitely limited toahingelike action. Themovements
ofindividual vertebrae areextremely limited, thebones composing theskull areimmov-
able. Movements ofthebones oftheskeleton areaffected bycontractions oftheskeletal
muscles towhich thebones areattached bytendons. These muscular contractions are
controlled by the nervous system.
Thenervous system hastwodivisions, thesomatic, which allows voluntary control
over skeletal muscles, andtheautonomic, which isinvoluntary andcontrols cardiac and
smooth muscle andglands. Theautonomic nervous system hastwodivisions, thesym-
pathetic andthepara-sympathetic. Many,butnotall,ofthemuscles andglands thatdis-
tribute impulses tothelargerinterior organs possess adouble nerve supply,insuch cases
thetwodivisions may exert opposing effects. Thus, thesympathetic andparasympathet-
icsystems respectively increase anddecrease heartbeat. Thetwonerve systems arenot
always antagonistic, however,forexample, both nerve supplies tothesalivary glandsexcite thecells ofsecretion. Furthermore, asingle division oftheautonomic nervous
system may both excite andinhibit asingle effector,asinthesympathetic supply tothe
blood vessels ofskeletal muscle. Finally,thesweat glands, themuscles thatcause invol-
untary erection orbristling ofthehair,thesmooth muscles ofthespleen, andtheblood
vessels of the skin and skeletal muscles are actuated only by the sympathetic division.
Voluntary movement ofhead, limbs, andbody iscaused bynerve impulses arising
inthemotor area ofthecortex ofthebrain andcarried bycranial nerves orbythose
thatemer gefrom thespinal cord toreach skeletal muscles. Thereaction involves both
excitation ofnerve cells energizing themuscles involved andinhibition ofthecells that
excite opposing muscles. Anerve impulse isanelectrical change within anerve cellor
fiber; it is measured in millivolts, lasts only a few milliseconds, and can be recorded.
Movement may occur alsoinresponse toanoutside stimulus; thus, atapontheknee
causes ajerk, andshining alight intotheeyemakes thepupil contract. These involun-
tary responses arecalled reflexes. Various nerve terminals called receptors constantly
send impulses intothecentral nervous system. These areofthree classes: exteroceptors,
those sensitive topain, temperature, touch, andpressure; interoceptors, which react to
changes intheinternal environment; andproprioceptors, which respond tovariations in
movement, position andtension (especially important indoing corrective exercises. -
The Authors).
These impulses terminate inspecial areas ofthebrain, asdothose ofspecial recep-
tors concerned with sight, hearing, smell, and taste.
Muscular contractions donotalways cause actual movement. Ordinarily,asmall
“fraction ofthetotal number offibers inamuscle may becontracting. (One reason why
ittakes prolonged periods oftime toaccomplish desired results—The Authors.) This
serves both tomaintain theposture ofalimb andcause thelimb toresist passive elonga-
tion or stretch. This slight continuous contraction is called muscle tone.
Article #2: Exercise
An excerpt from The Genesis and Contr ol of Disease by Geor ge E. W eger, M.D.
Those who exercise during theperiod ofelimination (this refers totheCircadian
Rhythm Cycles. Theelimination cycle normally begins atabout 4a.m. andcontinues to,
approximately,thenoon hour—The Authors.) help tomaintain muscular vigor,which
appreciably curtails theperiod ofrecuperation. Exercises also stimulate thecirculation
and arouse lethar gic cells so that these may more readily give up unusable waste.
Anactive, supple body canwithstand shock, strain, anddisease-building abuse toa
degree thatwould wreck orkillthelazy,slow-moving individual. Exercise isjustases-
sential asarational diet. Dependable resistance cannot beattained without it.Allpeople
should exercise daily.Thebest way tocultivate thehabit istofollow faithfully andme-
thodically aregular,fixed program. This assists inthedevelopment ofself-control and
self-discipline, which aresonecessary tothose who wish toacquire poise andtobecome
masters of self.
Only inthemost profound states ofenervation orincases ofinflammatory fever,
orcardiac depression ispositive exercise contraindicated. Moderate tensing ofthearms,
legs, abdomen andneck, canbedone inbedintheprone position even during thefast.
Patients areasked todothese tensing movements forperiods oftentothirty minutes de-
pending upon thevitality andmuscular vigor oftheperson. (See lesson on“Exercise in
Sickness andRecuperation ”forlistoftensing exercises which canbeused forcorrective
purposes while confined tothebed.)...Willpower isnecessary inorder tomake thestart
and go through with it.
...Toobtain themaximum good, themuscular contraction should bepositive andthe
mind should beconcentrated onevery movement. Exercise done grudgingly isoflittle
value. The benefit derived depends onthemanner inwhich themovements aredone
rather than thetime involved. Each movement should beemphasized anddone with de-liberation. Toavoid holding thebreath, patients areasked tocount aloud, asfollows:
one, andtwo, andthree, andfour—and soon.Allmovements should berepeated tothe
point of reasonable fatigue as distinguished from overexertion.
Itissuggested thatpatients trytoawaken early enough inthemorning todothis
most necessary work before breakfast. Ifthey donot,ready excuses arelikely tocome
upthatwill cause ittobeentirely neglected. The exercises should berepeated before
retiring for the night. Some are advised also to do them in the middle of the afternoon.
...Toeach patient isgiven achart explaining themovements thatmay bedone in
bed. These arevery simple muscle-tensing andjoint movements starting with thefingers
andtaking inthedifferent joints oftheupper extremities tothelimit oftheir range of
normal motion inflexion andextension inthefollowing order: thefingers, hands, and
wrists inflexion, extension, androtation; elbows thesame; shoulders, asweeping mo-
tioninalldirections with thearms fully extended throwing them outward from thebody
andthen bringing thehands together onthereturn movement. Then thetoes should be
bent down andup,next thefeetandankles. Afolded blanket should then beplaced un-
der the hips.
Knee andhipexercises arebestobtained bythebicycle movement andalsobycross-
ingtheextended legs past each other toandfro.Next theblanket orpillow should be
placed under theshoulders toallow thehead todrop back: thehead should beraised
andlowered andswung androtated inalldirections. Next themuscles oftheabdomen
should bealternately tensed andrelaxed andalso kneaded with thefingers orknuckles.
Theposition ofthebody should then bereversed with patient onhands orelbows and
knees. Theback should bealternately humped andswayed andtheentire body moved
asfaraspossible forward andback. Swaying andtwisting ofthespine andtorso may
bedone while sitting ontheedge ofthebedoronachair orwhile standing. Many other
movements may be suggested in cases where special advice is needed.
Article #3: Good Posture by Dr. Herbert M. Shelton
Theupright position isman’ snatural one, but,duetomany causes, thegreat majority of
civilized men andwomen arestooped andround shouldered. “Old man’ sstoop” isthe
posture intowhich everyone isdrifting unless hisorheroccupation orgymnastic activi-
ty is such as to counteract the tendency in this direction.
...Notice people asthey walk, youwillseethatfewwalk well. Bad positions insit-
tingaresocommon wehardly notice them. Gointoanyschool room andyouwillsee
boys andgirls, gointoanyaudience andyouwillseemen andwomen, themajority of
them, sitting inthemost uncouth andunhealthy attitude. This isanindication ofphys-
icalweakness, want ofphysical culture, andinharmonious development. Thelungs are
cramped andthestomach, liver andalloftheabdominal organs crowded outoftheir po-
sitions.
Good posture isgood form. Certainly good posture isofasmuch importance asthe
correct pronunciation ofwords over which theschools spend somuch time, while ne-
glecting posture. Upon theupright attitude depends theusefulness ofthesenses, com-
plete respiration, theability totalk, speak orread with correct tone ofvoice, andthemost

The Greatest Magic of All

Mechanistic notions of life ar e all too pr evalent in society today. Most
people believe a thing is what it is because of being made out of, by, and
from other things, and most of us ar e intent on moving this thing by
hand, as if fancying ourselves chess players and life the board and the
pieces the things we ar e concerned with. All too soon we find we ar e
opposed by an inscrutable and ruthless opponent, and our end is
inevitable. W e have concerned ourselves with only the surface aspect of
the game, and such a viewpoint never can fathom life’ s nuances and
real significance.

Immortal Hand and Eye

Material concepts of existence wind up depressingly sterile, for after the
complex machinery of the human body is reduced to its tiniest cell, still the
animating presence is not found; nothing is there but the yawning abyss of a
dead and unheeding universe to greet the material researcher. The form of a
thing suits its function, and its function suits its purpose, and inherent in
each is a complex and highly intelligent design, far surpassing anything yet
possible to the surface mind. It is not so much the form that we must be
concerned with, but the idea that lies behind form, the intelligent purpose
that gives that form perfect function.
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
— WILLIAM BLAKE

Witness the pacing of the sleek and powerful tiger in the cages of a zoo and
you know at once that you are seeing a creature consummately designed for
a specific function, without a wasted motion, without a spare or useless
part. Examine the myriad geometrical designs of snowflakes and you
become immediately aware that behind creation lies a supreme
mathematical mind, a millionfold more comprehending than that of the
most erudite of scientists. The ordered spinning of the planets in space, the
arrangement of solar systems in the universe, the design of the atom, the
deep and inscrutable mystery of animation; surely we are blind if we fail to
recognize the working of a supreme intelligence, guiding, molding,
directing with purpose. Out of the infinite plastic creativeness of this
intelligence have all things sprung. It makes all, fashions everything from
itself. W e do not hold the fate of the universe in our hands; that fate is safe
and sure in the hands of our creator, and that creator has incarnated in us all
of its potentiality and power.
The ends of evolution were assured long before humans arrived upon the
earthly scene; they were assured from the very beginning. That intelligence
of suf ficient scope to have within it the power to originate the concepts of
space and time and matter, to create the countless forms of life and animate
them with its own presence, surely would not, in any crisis, abdicate, give
over control to one of its partially developed and fractionally aware
creations. This, however, is the conclusion that some of our thinkers have
come to, those, at least, who believe that people control the universe andtheir own destiny, material people, surface people, ego-centered, partially
aware people.

Steps among the Stars

There is a hidden cause of all things, hidden because it is not visible,
invisible because it takes no special form, fits no special description. It lies
eternally and omnisciently behind the consciousness of every living thing,
and it determines all fates, all consequences, all conflicts and resolutions. It
is not thwarted in a single aspect of its being or purpose; there are within it
no loose ends, no unresolved conflicts. It is universal mind, divine
intelligence, the Secret Self that animates every living thing. It is as lar ge as
infinity, there are no limits upon its capabilities or powers, and it resides
completely and entirely within you. Hidden though it be from your surface
mind, it is your own immortal self.
This is the self whose steps are visible in the stars, in the infinitesimal and
complex design of the germinating seed, in the color and grandeur and
bustling ener gy of evolving life. It brings all forms into existence, crumbles
and dissipates them when the idea behind them has been expressed. It is the
sole being, the one mind, the solitary life, the only true presence, the one
real self in existence. Immortal, never born, never dying, the infinite sides
of its manifold nature are expressed on the stage of life, and each of its
creations contains within it all of the essence and power and intelligence of
the creator; each has within it the Secret Self.

Life T aps Us on the Shoulder
 “What good is it,” you may ask, “to have a self that is so far beyond my
comprehension, that it isn’ t even the ‘I’ that I’ve always thought myself to
be?” There is a very great deal of good. If you focus yourself in the surface
mind, then the dimensions of life are forever hidden from you; you do not
know where you came from and you do not know where you are going; you
even wonder if one day you might suddenly cease to be. Y ou cannot fathom
the billions of miles of distance to the nearest star or the billions of years
since the earth first swung into orbit around the sun. Y ou cannot see the
mind of another person, understand what animates a living being,
comprehend the purpose of life. All is mystery, all dwarfs the little ego,
which literally cannot see beyond its own nose and grasps even that but
vaguely.
Unless we are as uncomprehending as cows in the field, we cannot help but
be sick when we live focused in the ego; the world is just too big. Fear and
futility and guilt and frustration are our daily lot when we are small and
inadequate and know that we are small and inadequate. W e may be mice
and roar like lions, but we will soon know that we are mice if we live
absorbed in the ego. Life taps each of us on the shoulder. We either listen or
get knocked down. No individual reigns supreme; we are all part and parcel
of one mind, one self, one supreme intelligence; and inasmuch as we
understand this transforming fact that intelligence enters completely into us
and possesses us and uses us for its work in the world, we perform to the
zenith of our human capabilities.

Tunnel V ision

Implicit in the universe is first cause, original impetus, and this first cause is
a primal intelligence from which all things have sprung. It is involved in
expressing itself, and the result is the infinite variety and design of life, the
endless series of evolving forms that inhabit the world. Each form is not a
separate creation of the original intelligence, but rather is an expression of
it, so that there dwells in each the original intelligence itself, masqueradingas the form and limited to that extent, but in essence remaining infinite and
eternal and omniscient. Y ou are not the limited surface self and ego that you
have always fancied yourself to be, but you are that very primal intelligence
that has manifested all the forms of the universe.
Reflection on the nature of intelligence and consciousness reveals why this
is so. When our attention is focused upon a certain thing, inasmuch as our
absorption is complete, we become the thing that has our attention. This
“tunnel vision” quality of consciousness is responsible for the remarkable
phenomena of hypnosis. Where hypnosis is deep and consciousness may be
directed toward a single object, subject becomes object and we do not know
ourselves in any other way. If told that we are a duck, we quack and waddle.
If told that we are a bear, we growl. If told that we are a politician, we
deliver orations. W e know ourselves only as a duck when a duck, only as a
bear when a bear, only as a politician when a politician. Surely universal
intelligence itself must be so absorbed in each of its manifestations,
becoming the thing it has become with complete amnesia for its true state
and all other manifestations of its nature. This is why we do not know what
we truly are and become the thing that our consciousness is focused upon.

Conceptual Universe

It would seem that universal mind or primal intelligence has the ability to
become anything it would become, or rather, that its inherent nature is to
become anything that takes root within it as idea, as thought. The existence
of this universal mind must be purely mental. Chief and perhaps solely its
activity is thought. It is thinking, and each of its thoughts is manifested as a
form in the material world. Each thought contains within it all of the
intelligence of the thinker, so that a thought is a thing capable of developing
other thoughts. Thus, if a person is a thought in the mind of an eternal
thinker, then all of the intelligence of that eternal thinker is latent in the
person

elton	writes:

"The	whole	of	the	modern	medical	practice	of	vaccine,	serum	and	antitoxin

therapy	is	based	upon	the	supposition	that	the	body	manufactures	substances

called	antitoxins,	antibodies,	antigens,	etc.,	which	are	capable	of	meeting	and

destroying	toxins	that	get	into	the	body.	The	idea	seems	to	be	sound,	although	it

is	possible	that	the	work	of	destroying	such	toxins	is	that	of	the	detoxification

carried	on	by	the	liver,	and	lymph	glands,	etc.	Antitoxins,	antibodies,	antigens,

etc.,	have	never	been	isolated.	They	have	only	been	assumed,	while	the	practice

based	upon	their	assumed	existence	has	been	both	a	failure	and	disaster.

However,	this	may	not	be	due	to	their	non-existence.	If	they	exist	it	is	impossible
	to	separate	them	from	the	proteins	of	the	animal’s	blood	(in	making	vaccines)

and	these	proteins	when	injected	directly	into	the	blood	of	another	animal	(or

human	being)	are	very	poisonous.	Besides	this,	there	is	no	evidence	that	the

antitoxins	of	one	species	can	be	made	use	of	by	another	species.	Where	vaccines

are	employed,	it	constitutes	the	introduction	of	actual	disease	matter	into	the

blood.	That	is,	the	supposed	causative	germs	or	some	product	of	the	disease	is

introduced	into	the	body.	The	consequences	are	often	terrible.	Real	benefits	are

never	observed.

"If	the	hypothesis	that	the	body	manufactures	antitoxins,	antibodies,	etc.,	is

correct	it	still	remains	to	be	proven	that	the	body	ever	manufactures	these	greatly

in	excess	of	the	need	for	them.	It	cannot	be	shown	that	‘free’	antitoxin,

antibodies,	etc.,	are	suspended	in	the	blood	serum	and	can	therefore	be

transferred	to	another	animal	in	sufficient	quantities	to	be	of	use	to	the	receiving

animal.	In	keeping	with	a	general	law	of	life,	it	is	very	probable	that	the	body

does	manufacture	an	excess	of	antibodies,	but	it	cannot	be	shown	that	it	retains

these	after	the	need	for	them	has	ceased.	On	the	contrary,	in	keeping	with

another	general	law	of	life,	it	is	very	probable	that	the	body	begins	to	get	rid	of

them	the	very	instant	the	need	for	them	ceases.	If	they	exist	they	are	chemical

substances	produced	to	meet	an	emergency	and	will	be	cast	out	as	soon	as	the

emergency	ceases	to	exist."

The	renowned	Dr.	Antoine	Bechamp,	one	of	the	world’s	foremost	scientists	and

bacteriologists,	observed	that	the	microorganisms	that	are	ordinarily	called

germs,	evolve	out	of	decaying	cells	they	helped	to	build,	and	take	part	in	the

decomposing	of	the	ever	changing	life	substance	and	help	to	form	it	into

material	usable	again	by	nature.	Thus,	when	germs	are	found	within	a	sick	body

it	is	not	that	they	entered	from	outside	and	caused	the	disease.	It	is	because	they

developed	from	the	decaying	cells	within	the	body	and	have	an	important	part	to

play	in	helping	to	handle	the	waste	and	destruction	brought	about	by	serums,

drugs	and	other	poisons	forced	upon	the	body	from	without.	Perhaps	our	modern

bacteriologists	have	seen	this	activity	of	the	"microzymas"	and	jumped	to	the

conclusion	that	they	are	antibodies	fighting	disease	and	that	they	(the	doctors)

must	inject	more	oL	them	into	the	body	by	way	of	vaccines.	But	anyone	with

common	sense	and	reasoning	can	see	that	this	would	only	interfere	and	disrupt

the	well	organized	efforts	of	nature.	This	is	the	reason	why	vaccination	has	taken

such	a	heavy	toll	of	lives	and	has	produced	such	widespread	disease.

"Nature	makes	no	mistakes	and	violates	no	laws.	She	is	uniformly	governed	by
	fixed	principles	and	all	her	actions	harmonize	with	the	laws	that	govern	these

actions."	(THE	HYGIENIC	SYSTEM,	p.	48	,	Dr.	Herbert	M.	Shelton)

"The	best,	indeed	the	only,	method	of	promoting	individual	and	public	health	is

to	teach	people	the	laws	of	nature	and	thus	teach	them	how	to	preserve	their

health.	Immunization	programs	are	futile	and	are	based	on	the	delusions	that	the

law	of	cause	and	effect	can	be	annulled.	Vaccines	and	serums	are	employed	as

substitutes	for	right	living;	they	are	intended	to	supplant	obedience	to	the	laws	of

life.	Such	programs	are	slaps	in	the	face	of	law	and	order.	Belief	in

immunization	is	a	form	of	delusional	insanity."	(PRINCIPLES	OF	NATURAL

HEALING,	p.	478	,	Dr.	Herbert	M.	Shelton)

VACCINATION	LOWERS	RESISTANCE	AND

INVITES	DISEASE
Dr.	J.	W.	Hodge	had	considerable	experience	with	vaccination	before	he

denounced	it	and	wrote	a	book	on	his	collected	data.	In	his	book	THE

VACCINATION	SUPERSTITION	(p.	41)	he	states:

"After	a	thorough	investigation	of	the	most	authentic	records	and	facts	in

harmony	with	the	physician’s	daily	observations	and	experiences,	the	conclusion

is	drawn	that	instead	of	protecting	its	subjects	from	contagion	of	smallpox,

vaccination	actually	renders	them	more	susceptible	to	it.	Vaccination	is	the

implantation	of	disease—that	is	its	admitted	purpose.	Health	is	the	ideal	state	to

be	sought,	not	disease...Every	pathogenic	disturbance	in	the	infected	organism

wastes	and	lowers	the	vital	powers,	and	thus	diminishes	its	natural	resisting

capacity.

"This	fact	is	well	known	and	so	universally	conceded	that	it	seems	superfluous

to	cite	authorities.	Nevertheless,	I	shall	mention	one.
The	International	Textbook

of	Surgery
.	Vol.	1.	p.	263,	is	authority	for	the	following	statement:

"Persons	weakened	by	disease	or	worn	out	by	excessive	labor	yield	more	readily

to	infection	that	healthy	individuals.

"If	this	is	true,	it	explains	why,	in	various	epidemics,	smallpox	always	attacks	the

vaccinated	first,	and	why	these	diseases	continue	to	infest	the	civilized	world

while	its	allied	(unvaccinated)	‘filth	diseases	‘	have	disappeared	before	the
	advance	of	civilization,	through	the	good	offices	of	sanitation,	hygiene	and

improved	nutrition."

SUMMARIZING	THE	CASE	AGAINST

VACCINATION
Dr.	Hodge	continues:

"After	a	careful	consideration	of	the	history	of	vaccination	gleaned	from	an

impartial	and	comprehensive	study	of	vital	statistics,	and	pertinent	data	from

every	reliable	source	and	after	an	experience	derived	from	having	vaccinated

3,000	subjects,	I	am	firmly	convinced	that	vaccination	cannot	be	shown	to	have

any	logical	relation	to	the	diminution	of	cases	of	smallpox,	and,

1)	That	the	practice	of	vaccination	has	been	the	means	of	disseminating	some	of

the	most	fatal	and	loathsome	diseases,	such	as	leprosy,	sy


 can further ease the healing phase by expecting it to be short and mild and lead to full recovery.10/30/24, 4:56 PM Health-Science-Spirit - The New Medicine of Dr Hamer
https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Cancer/The-New-Medicine-of-DrHamer.html 4/6It is my perception that full recovery requires a two step program to heal this conﬂict. The ﬁrst step involves appropriately expressing
the emotional shock experience. When losing a loved one, this means feeling and expressing the inner grief or sadness; when losing
a job, asset, or business, this means feeling and expressing the anger, frustration, or disappointment felt at the time. The second step
involves repairing the external damage, such as ﬁnding another partner, pet, job, business or hobby.
According to Hamer, animals in the wild get cancer from the same shock programs as we do. However, 80 to 90% survive and do not
notice much because the healing phase can take its natural course. Those that die are mainly old animals that cannot resolve a
conﬂict, such as regaining their territory from a rival or replacing a lost cub.
It is different in our society as the natural healing process is routinely interfered with. It starts with getting tranquilizers or
antidepressants during the active conﬂict phase, which prevent us from ﬁghting back and regaining our territory. This may then lead
to a cancer diagnosis that causes an additional active conﬂict and ends with morphine, which totally disables our healing responses.
While Hamer does not believe that health foods, remedies, cleansing or healthy living in general can cure cancer, these certainly can
be important in order to survive the ordeals of the healing phase. Actually, Hamer regards all diseases as consisting of two phases,
initially with active conﬂict followed (if possible) by a healing phase that reverses the conﬂict program. He does not call them diseases
anymore but rather special biological programs. In all he is stated to have worked with over 31,000 patients and found his theories
conﬁrmed in every single case without exception. Hamer claims that overall the New Medicine has a 95% success rate with cancer.
Persecution
Siemens, the manufacturers of the CT equipment have independently veriﬁed the existence of the Hamer Herds in the brain.
Furthermore, their diagnostic signiﬁcance was conﬁrmed in 1998 at the University  of TRNA VA in Slovakia. Nevertheless, Dr Hamer
faced exceptional persecution.
Under German law the right to practice medicine can be withdrawn if the doctor has diminished mental abilities. This law was used in
1986 by a German district court to withdraw his right to practice. As proof of Hamer ’s inadequate mental condition the court stated
that he was not wiling to retract his theories and swear allegiance to the principles of orthodox medicine. Even worse, the court had
discovered evidence that he was incapable of converting back to the principles of orthodox medicine: he tried to convince a group of
prominent professors of the correctness of his theories only one month before the court case!   One year later the same court
requested a psychiatric assessment of his mental abilities, which Hamer refused. A court-appointed psychiatrist, without ever seeing
him, diagnosed him anyway as being a psychopath.
In 1997 Dr Hamer was arrested and jailed for 18 months under an obscure natural therapy law introduced under Adolf Hitler to
suppress Gypsies. His crime was that he had given free health advice to some individuals who had asked him for his opinion. The
public prosecutor had openly stated that all means must be used to remove Hamer from society. Compare this to a delay of the court
case for 13 years and then a sentence of only 6 months on probation for the killer of his son. This mild sentence may have something
to do with the accused being the Prince of Savoy, the son of the last King of Italy.
Since 1999 Dr Hamer lives in Spain  because courts in Germany, Austria, France  and Switzerland  now want to try him for any cancer
patient who died following his advice. According to this reasoning he is a mass murderer because he denied cancer patients the
supposedly safe and effective treatment offered by orthodox medicine. There is also a private court case pending against him for a
large sum of money because he advised a patient against having chemotherapy. This means that every medical practitioner is now
on notice to offer chemotherapy or face ﬁnancial ruin. This witch-hunt has been compared to the fate of Dr Semmelweis who at the
age of 47 died in a mental asylum for suggesting that surgeons wash their hands before operations.
Dr Hamer survived 8 assassination attempts, and the mass media in Germany  treat him as a deranged criminal. While many
individual doctors, including profess ors of medicine, have veriﬁed the principles of the New Medicine, so far no German university
has agreed to test them, despite a court order that the University  of Tubingen  conduct such tests.
Also doctors and natural therapists in Europe  who practice according to the principles of the New Medicine face persecution. In
Austria, Belgium, France, Germany  and Spain  authorities had started proceedings against such doctors to take away their right to
practice. Court cases have been going on for years.   Only courts in Spain  adopted the enlightened position that it was not their role to
decide between conﬂicting medical theories and therapies. This vicious response of the establishment is understandable because
widespread knowledge and application of the New Medicine would mean the end of the medical-pharmaceutical complex.
However, in 2001 a prominent neurologist openly defended Dr Hamer by publishing a book about the New Medicine and demanding
that his theories be ofﬁcially tested. Because Dr Therese von Schwarzenberg also belongs to the high nobility, the mass media are in
a bind on what position to take on this. Until now they have only reported about Dr Hamer in the most derogative ways and here is
now that high proﬁle personality who claims that Hamer is right and deserves a Nobel Price! Nevertheless, the ofﬁcial response of
prominent oncologists still remains that it is totally absurd to assume emotions could be important in the cause and cure of cancer
and, therefore, Dr Hamer ’s claims must not be tested.
Comment
My own understanding and experience leave no doubt about the primary importance of our emotions and beliefs in the cause and
cure of our diseases. Furthermore, the writings of Dr Hamer give the impression of a serious and meticulous researcher whose
ﬁndings have been conﬁrmed by various scientiﬁc institutions and medical practitioners, including professors of medicine. Only those
continue to denounce him who refuse to look at his evidence.
Therefore I have no doubt about the validity of his basic premise, namely that speciﬁc diseases and in particular cancers are
associated with visible lesions in speciﬁc locations of the brain as well as speciﬁc psychological experiences. His postulated two-part
disease process in which the healing phase is a reversal of the original disease conditions is a basic concept of natural therapies.10/30/24, 4:56 PM Health-Science-Spirit - The New Medicine of Dr Hamer
https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Cancer/The-New-Medicine-of-DrHamer.html 5/6However, Dr Hamer appears reluctant to consider extending or modifyin g his theory to take other possibilities into account. Basically
Dr Hamer postulates a one-way communication from psyche to organ via the brain. I suggest instead a two-way communication from
psyche to organ as well as from organ back to brain and psyche.
I like to explain this on an example.  I understand that the rate of death  from breast cancer in China  is one in 10,000 compared to
about one in 10 in most Western countries. Professor Jane Plant realized that unlike western and westernised women, the Chinese
do not use animal milk or related products. At this stage she had the ﬁfth occurrence of her breast cancer and had been given up to
die. As soon as she avoided all milk products her tumour disappeared and for 13 years she is now free of cancer (Your Life in Your
Hands by Jane Plant, published V irgin, UK 2000).
As the Chinese have normal rates of some other cancers, there needs to be a special factor that causes these low breast cancer
rates. Assuming that it really is milk, I would apply the following reasoning.
Milk is high in insulin growth factor, IGF-1, which stimulates breast tissue to grow during puberty and pregnancy. IGF-1 is also present
in the meat of dairy cows and apparently also stimulates other hormone-related cancers, including prostate cancer. Assuming that
this causes constant low-level stimulation of breast tissue and the related brain area in milk-drinking or dairy-consuming women,
there are now 2 possibilities.
1. The sensitized brain areas will cause the woman to have a much stronger emotional response than normal to any child or
    partner conﬂict, and this causes milk-drinking women to develop more frequent breast cancers.
2. The second possibility is an existing sub-acute conﬂict situation or past event that is still subconsciously active. The persistent
  combined stimulation by a sub-acute conﬂict in addition to IGF-1 may cause the gradual development of a Hamer Herd or
  alternatively its sudden appearance when a certain threshold is reached.
In this


 morning,
they will have much more energy for their work than when their bodies
were forced to expend energy on the demands of the digestive tract.
When we first began to develop the program, my two children were
both in elementary school. It took over a year to help them break the
BREAKFAST • 115 habit of a large morning meal. I never put pressure on them. I did,
however, always make sure that fruit was the first food in the morning.
Then, if they were still not satisfied, I offered a slice of whole-grain toast
and raw butter, or granola and apple juice, or even better, I hit on the
idea of giving them bowls of piping hot steamed vegetables after their fruit
in the morning. At least that way they were still staying on high-water-
content food during the all-important elimination cycle. At least bowls of
steamed vegetables are real, wholesome foods, unlike those multicolored
packages of chemically laden imitation foods pushed on our young by the
processed food industries.
Once my children were able to make the transition to fruit in the
morning, it became clear to them how tired heavier food before noon
made them feel. As the years went by they rarely sought anything but
fruit before lunch. Their health generally improved, and while other
children had frequent colds, they did not. I attributed this to the fact that
their elimination cycles were being allowed to function regularly without
interruption. Even now, as teenagers, they rarely eat anything before
noon but fruit.
With the birth of our son seven years ago, Harvey and I were able to
verify even more clearly the definite advantage of feeding only fruit to
children in the morning. Since the elimination cycle, from birth, was
rarely interrupted by the consumption of heavy food before noon, he did
not develop the mucous nose, the earaches, and the coughs that most
young children experience and that their parents come to expect as rou
tine. Our child was never stuffed up or blocked with mucous waste, be
cause his body was allowed every day to complete its elimination cycle.
His little system was not forced to store waste, unlike those of so many
children, whose bodies from morning to night are being forced to deal
with an onslaught of heavy food. As an infant and toddler we found him
to be happy and even-tempered. At the age of seven he is tall, well-
coordinated, and energetic.
The mothers I have worked with in my practice and in our workshops
have seen the same results. Once their children were beginning to be
"weaned" from heavier breakfasts and were, for the most part, consuming
fruit or vegetables in the morning and eating foods that were pure rather
than laden with chemicals, their overall health began to improve. In one
case two young girls at a school for children with learning disabilities in
Southern California made such a marked improvement once they had
been put on the program that teachers at the school contacted the parents
to find out what was bringing about the positive changes.
The key with children is not to apply pressure. (This is also true for
some of the childlike adults you may wish to influence!) Pressure causes
116 • FIT FOR LIFE tension. Where food is concerned, tension is always to be avoided. No
matter how good the food might be, if it is eaten under pressure or in a
tense environment, it will most often spoil in an agitated digestive tract.
Initially, simply make a fruit salad alternative available to your child. Eat
it with your child with an air of celebration, so the positive experience is
shared. This is fun! Offer bowls of buttery steamed vegetables as alter
natives to children's junky cereals. Offer buttered whole-grain toast. At
least your children will be eating real food. Little by little the transition
will be made. Set the example by eating fruit in the morning yourself,
and ultimately the kids will follow.
BREAKFAST GUIDELINES
1. Start your day with FRESH fruit juice if you desire. Recommended
quantity: eight to fourteen ounces.
2. Throughout the morning have pieces of fruit as you feel hungry.
3. Have a minimum of two servings of fruit in any three-hour period.
4. Your maximum fruit intake should be governed by your needs. Have
as much as you desire. Do not undereat or overeat fruit!
5. Eat melons before other fruit.
6. Eat bananas when you are particularly hungry and are craving heavier
food.
BREAKFAST • 117 CHAPTER
Fresh Juices
v Xou will notice as you proceed on
the program that juices play a very important part, FRESH JUICES! The
kind you make yourself with your own juicer or are made for you at a
juice bar. Also available are fresh juices bottled daily by local juice com
panies. Consider owning your own juicer. This is the most economical
way to go, since every time you buy juice, you are paying for someone
else's juicer.
In this era of great preoccupation over food supplements, with millions
of people regularly consuming expensive pills in the name of nutrition,
fresh juices are actually the 6nest, most real form of supplementation,
although most people are totally unaware of it. All the nutrients that the
human body requires are present in balanced quantities in fresh fruits and
vegetables. And they can be used by our bodies only when they are con
sumed as part of the whole food in which they occur. So it is actually true
that a diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables and their juices supplies all
the nutritional needs of the body. Juices are the next best thing to the
whole food, being merely a liquid extract of the whole food. They are not
overly concentrated, as are megavitamin doses, nor have they been pro
cessed or "pharmaceuticalized" in any way. When they are made, you
• 118 • can see what they come from. There is very little difference between the
real thing (whole fruits and vegetables) and their juices. They supply us
with the vital building blocks for cell regeneration, and in this way they
are a true longevity food. (You might want to check the latest books by
Dr. Norman W. Walker, the fruit and vegetable juice proponent in Ari
zona who is one hundred and sixteen years old, if you have any questions
about juices and longevity!)
There's an added benefit from juices: Their delicious flavors quench
our thirst and satisfy us so that we tend less and less to reach for the
harmful thirst-quenchers like sodas, coffee, tea, milk, and alcohol. Other
than mother's milk, there is no finer food for infants and young children
than juice.
We strongly encourage you to get into the habit of consuming fresh
juices. They are the only beverage that supplies REAL, VITAL ENERGY,
notwithstanding the false claims made in advertising for other, harmful
beverages. The habit of drinking diet sodas just because millions of dol
lars in advertising have been spent to convince you that they are a
"weight-loss food" is the result of an unscrupulous advertising campaign
against your well-being. A mixture of laboratory chemicals can only add
toxins to your body, not help remove them. Diet sodas do nothing but
undermine your health and vitality! If you are interested in knowing
about other foods that are touted as beneficial but are actually harmful,
consult Harvey's first book, A Case for Health.'
juices that are fresh are the only beverages that can help you lose
weight and feel great, DRINK THEM ON AN EMPTY STOMACH, NOT WITH
OR IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING ANY OTHER FOOD! Enjoy them! They
are extremely beneficial. Remember to drink them slowly, mixing them
with your saliva. Gulped or consumed too rapidly, they may upset the
blood sugar level.
Considering the importance of fresh juices, owning your own juicer
makes a lot of sense. There are many on the market, but we have room
here to name only a few. The Champion is an excellent all-around
juicer, since it is easy to use and clean, makes high-quality juice, and can
be used to make nut butters and delicious nondairy frozen desserts. The
Ultra-Matic is exclusively for juice extraction, but it is a high-quality
precision instrument. It is more expensive than the Champion but well
worth the money. The Oster is a sturdy, reasonably priced juicer of great
versatility. Oster and Panasonic also make sturdy, inexpensive citrus
juicers. For more information on these and other juicers, you can con
tact the authors by writing to Golden Glow, 2210 Wilshire Blvd., Suite
118, Santa Monica, CA 90403.
