triggered by strenuous exercise. It can also occur through liver disease, alcoholism, severe
trauma, or other conditions that deprive the body of the oxygen it needs to function aerobically. Lana Barhum, “What to Know About Lactic Acidosis,” Medical News T oday,

whereas other animals, such as chickens, have entire muscle systems that are either aerobic or
anaerobic. The dark meat in a cooked chicken is dark because these muscles were used to
provide aerobic ener gy and are filled with oxygenated blood; white meat is anaerobic, and so is
lacking in these red pigments. Phillip Maf fetone, The Maffetone Method: The Holistic, Low-

anaerobic ener gy and 38 A TPs per glucose molecule for aerobic ener gy. For this reason, most
textbooks say that aerobic ener gy has a 19-fold increase over anaerobic ener gy. But what most
textbooks don’ t account for is inef ficiencies and waste in the A TP process, which usually suck
up about 8 A TPs. A more conservative estimate, then, is that aerobic respiration produces
something closer to 30 to 32 A TPs, or around 16 times the ener gy that anaerobic produces.Peter R. Rich, “The Molecular Machinery of Keilin’ s Respiratory Chain,” Biochemical Society

entering into anaerobic exercise. Rowing, lifting weights, and running can all have a profound
ef fect on strength and endurance. But to be ef fective, these exercises needed to be kept in
context of lar ger training, and can’ t be prioritized over aerobic training. High-intensity interval
training only works because well-designed programs are built around spending the vast
majority of time in periods of slower, gentler aerobic exercise. Author and fitness trainer Brian
MacKenzie ar gues that the key to high levels of performance fitness is combining aerobic and
anaerobic exercise ef fectively. The Maffetone Method, 56; Brian MacKenzie with Glen

Maf fetone’ s equation; if you have asthma or aller gies or have not exercised before, subtract 5. Competitive athletes who have been training for more than two years, add 5. This works out to
around 80 percent of maximum capacity for a man of my age. Anaerobic states usually hit at
80 percent, or the stage at which it becomes dif ficult to speak in full sentences. “Know Y our

only moderate exercise to his patients, warning them: “The body needs exercise, only it must
not be to the point of exhaustion, for exercise expels the bad air in the system, promotes free
circulation of the blood, and prevents sickness.” The most ef ficient state of exercise where we
reap the most benefits, Maf fetone found, was around or below 60 percent of maximum
capacity. The Cooper Institute, a research foundation that for 50 years has been studying the
links between physical activity and chronic disease, has found that exercising at 50 percent
leads to massive gains in aerobic fitness, improved blood pressure, prevention of various
diseases, and more. Several other studies over the past several decades confirm this. Meanwhile, overexercising above 60 percent, toward that anaerobic zone, has been shown to
induce a stress state, increased cortisol, adrenaline, and oxidative stress. Charles M. T ipton,

PEACHES (PRUNUS PERSICA)  a re divided into two categories:
clingstone and freestone. Howe ver, there are two dif ferent fles h types that
occur in both of  the categories: melting flesh and non-melting flesh types. For can ning, it is advantageous to choose non-melting peach varieties
whenever possible since they are less subject to bruising and will remain
firm after canning. Melting flesh varieties are best eaten fresh. Good Pr eserving V arieties
Non-melting, yellow-fleshed canning peaches: Babygold 5, T riogem,

• 1 lb (500 g), about 3 medium peaches, yields 2-1/2 to 3 cups (625 to 750
mL) sliced. • Y ou will need 2 to 2-1/2 lb (1 to 1.25 kg) for each quart (1 L) jar. Select firm, plump fruits with no touch of green or bruising. Peaches should
give slig htly w hen gently pressed and should not be soft. It is best to
purchase peaches at their peak of ripeness and use immediately. If
necessary, ripen in a paper bag  at room temperature, away fro m sunlight,
checking daily. Use immediately once ripened. Good W ith
• Herbs such as rosemary, basil, bay, thyme.• Sweet seasonings such as cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, vanilla,
almond. • Semi-soft cheeses such as havarti, Boursin; medium-age cheddars, colby. • Other fruit, such as raspberries, blueberries, nectarines, strawberries,
cherries. • T oasted almonds, pecans and walnuts; raisins; dark chocolate. • Freshwater fish such as whitefish, trout, perch, bass, or light saltwater fish
such as red snapper. Pr eparation

gentle b oil over  high heat. Mak es 4-1/2 cups (1.125 L) syrup,  enough for
three or four 1-quart (1 L) jars of sliced or halved peaches. Note:  Y ou  can use the same amount of apple juice or white grape juice in
place of the light syrup.3. Pack peaches into jars either hot or raw  (Hot Pack Method is
considered the best). Make a Hot Pack:  A dd peach slic es or halves to gently boiling syrup or
juice and boil fo r 1 minute. Fill  hot jars with hot fruit and cooking liquid,
leaving a 1/2-inch (1 cm) headspace. Run a thin non-metallic utensil around
the inside of the jar to allow air to escape. Add more hot fruit or liquid, if
necessary, to leave a 1/2-inch (1 cm) headspace. W ipe sealing edge of jars
with a clean, dam p, lint-free cloth. Position flat lids over the top s of jars and
hand-tighten screw bands. OR

        • In a conversation, you can clock the amount of time thatYOU DON’T NEED THEIR APPROVAL  / 71you speak and compare it with the amount spoken by your partner
and acquaintances. You can work at not being the one who speaks
infrequently and only when asked to participate. • You can observe at your next get-together how many more times
you are interrupted, and whether you always condescend when you
speak simultaneously with another member of the group. Your ap-
proval-seeking may be taking the form of timidity. You can devise
strategies for speaking without being interrupted by labeling the
behavior as it crops up in your social milieu. • Chronicle how many declarative versus interrogative sentences
you make. Do you ask questions, seek permission and approval, as
opposed to making a statement. For example, the question, “Nice
day, isn’t it. ” puts the other person into the problem-solving role,
and you into the approval-seeking position. A simple, “Nice day”
is a declaration, rather than an attempt to seek an answer. If you are
always asking questions of others you are into approval-seeking in
what may seem a petty area, but which is reflective of your lack of
confidence in your own ability to take charge. These are the beginning steps to eliminating approval-seeking as
a need in your life. While you are not striving to wipe out all approv-
al, you are working toward not being immobilized in any small way
because you don’t get the blandishments you covet. Applause is
pleasant and approval is a delightful experience. What you seek is
immunity from pain when you don’t get the cheers. Just as the dieter
does not test his mettle for losing weight on a full stomach, or the
individual who is quitting smoking doesn’t measure his resolve after
just putting out a cigarette, you won’t really test yourself in the ab-
sence of disapproval. You can vow until you’re orange in the face
that you can handle disfavor and that you are not going to demand
tribute from everyone, but until you are faced with the circumstances
of contention you won’t know how you are doing. If you can72 / Your Erroneous Zoneseliminate this troublesome erroneous zone from your life, the rest
will seem easy, because you have been conditioned to need approval
from your first breath on this earth. It will require a great deal of
practice, but it is worth every bit of effort you put into it. Immunity
from despair in the face of disapproval is the ticket to a lifetime of
delectable personal present-moment freedom. YOU DON’T NEED THEIR APPROVAL  / 73IV
BREAKING FREE FROM
THE PAST
Only a ghost wallows around in his past, explaining
himself with self-descriptors based on a life lived
through. You are what you choose today, not what
you’ve chosen before. W ho are you. How do you describe yourself. To answer these
two questions, you will very likely have to refer to your own history,
to a past that has been lived through, but to which you are un-
doubtedly tied, and from which you find it difficult to escape. What
are your self-descriptors. Are they neat little labels that you have
accumulated over a lifetime. Do you have a drawer full of self-
definitions which you use on a regular basis. They may include tags
such as I’m nervous, I’m shy, I’m lazy, I’m not musical, I’m clumsy,
I’m forgetful, and a whole catalog of additional I’ms that you use. You probably have many positive I’ms such as I’m loving, I’m good
at bridge, I’m sweet, as well. These will not be dealt with here since
the purpose of this chapter is to help you grow, rather than to ap-
plaud you for the areas of your life where you are operating effect-
ively. Self-descriptors are not in themselves inappropriate, but they
74can be used in harmful ways. The very act of labeling might be a
specific deterrent to growth. It’s easy to use the label as justification
for remaining the same. Sören Kierkegaard wrote, “Once you label
me, you negate me. ” When the individual must live up to the label,
the self ceases to exist. The same is true of self-labels. You could be
negating yourself by identifying with your trademarks, rather than
your own potential for growth. All self-labels come out of an individual’s history. But the past,
as Carl Sandburg said in Prairie,  “is a bucket of ashes. ”
Check yourself out on the extent to which you are chained to your
past. All self-defeating “I’ms” are the result of the use of these four
neurotic sentences:
(1) “That’s me. ”
(2) “I’ve always been that way. ”
(3) “I can’t help it. ”
(4) “That’s my nature. ”
There they are in one little package. The connectors that keep you
from growing, changing and making your life (from this instant
on—which is all the life you have) new, exciting and heaped with
present-moment fulfillment. I know of a grandmother who, each Sunday when she has the
family over for dinner, decides exactly how much each person will
eat by deliberately portioning out plates to her own specifications. She gives each person two slices of meat, a spoonful of peas, a clump
of potatoes, and on and on. When asked, “Why do you do that. ”
she responds with, “Oh, I’ve always been that way. ” Why. Because
“That’s just the way I am. ” Grandma’s rationale for her behavior is
her own label which comes from a past of always having behaved
in that manner. Some people will actually use all four sentences in one shot when
confronted with their behavior. You might ask someone why he al-
ways gets upset when the subject of accidents arisesBREAKING FREE FROM THE PAST  / 75and he is likely to respond, “Oh, that’s just me, I’ve always been that
way. I really can’t help it, it’s just my nature. ” Whew. All four at
once, and each being used as an explanation for why he will never
be different and never even consider changing. Your I’ms which describe self-canceling behavior can be traced
to something that you’ve learned


 year. By the end of that year time period, the reader’s teeth went
from yellowish to bright white. Not everyone gets very white teeth from following the advice in this
book. Teeth are discolored for two key reasons. One reason is foods eaten can stain the teeth, for
example, herbs, black tea or coffee. Another type of tooth discoloring is yellow teeth. I believe this is
a form of tooth jaundice. This basically means that your body is a bit toxic, and your liver is not
functioning optimally. As your liver gets healthier with a healthier diet, exercise, and therapeutic
treatments like herbs, your teeth may gradually get whiter. There are a variety of teeth whitening treatments available at your dentist. Some of them are relatively
safe, while others remove healthy tooth structure. Based on the principle of choosing the least
invasive treatment to your teeth as possible, you should avoid any tooth whitening material that
contains any type of acidic or etching compound, and avoid all types of porcelain laminates. Avoid
any whitening procedure that involves any drilling or removal of healthy enamel. Request your
dentist, before submitting to any tooth whitening procedures, use no acid or etching materials. Natural Tooth Whitening
Dab a small amount of organic peppermint essential oil on your finger (much less than a drop), rub
your finger on your toothbrush, and then brush normally. Some people might find that organic tea tree
oil provides wonderful benefits. Another suggestion is charcoal. Keep in mind some of these methods
are slightly abrasive to teeth. Dental Tip for Whiter TeethTo naturally remove stains and whiten teeth polish your teeth using a wet cotton swab dipped in
baking soda. With a bit of pressure, rub the tooth enamel only, avoiding the gums. Brushing, Flossing and Toothpaste
When the tooth surface is weak, then keeping the oral environment clean definitely is a good idea. My
personal experience has been that a clean oral environment is helpful in reducing the impact of tooth
decay. Cleaning your teeth helps prevent cavities when the dentinal fluid is flowing in the wrong
direction. In this situation of demineralization, substances from within your mouth can enter into the
tooth. Cleaning teeth will change the environment of your mouth and it can help slow down the
problem, but it does not stop the original cause of tooth decay. If cleaning teeth did stop cavities, then
why does 90% of our population get cavities? Toxic Toothpaste
Many brands of toothpaste contain the following warning. “WARNING: Keep out of the reach of
children under 6 years of age. If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, seek
professional assistance or contact a Poison Control Center immediately.” If something is that
dangerous where more than a tiny amount is considered poison, then I do not want to be putting it in
my body every day. Toothpaste is regulated as a cosmetic product, and not as a food. I suppose the rationale behind this is
that toothpaste is not swallowed and that it does not get absorbed into your body. As a result the
standards of safety for toothpaste are much lower than our already very low safety standards for food
additives. Since toothpaste is not a food, almost anything goes as far as ingredients are concerned. Toothpastes usually contain ingredients like hydrated silica, sorbitol, sodium saccharin, titanium
dioxide, glycerin, sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate, and sodium fluoride. Hydrated silica
 is made from quartz and sand and it is an abrasive in toothpaste. As I already
mentioned, the sand in toothpaste can cause tooth wear with too much brushing. Sorbitol and saccharin
 are both sweeteners and are used in toothpaste. They are on the list of
substances we want to avoid. Titanium dioxide
 is a pigment used for providing brightness and whiteness. It is used as a strain
remover and a whitener. Titanium dioxide is potentially carcinogenic in humans. 32
 If the titanium
dioxide in toothpaste contained nano-sized particles then it can be toxic to cells in your body and
absorb through contact. 33
Glycerin
 is added to toothpaste to give it its “pasty” consistency and helps prevent the toothpaste
from drying out. Supposedly, glycerin requires 27 rinses to remove from the teeth. This glycerin film
could create a barrier on the teeth that would prevent teeth from getting harder and stronger. Usually,
small amounts of toothpaste get swallowed or absorbed directly into your bloodstream through your
gums through a process called diffusion.Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
 is used as a foaming agent and a degreaser. It is used also for washing cars
and cleaning garage floors. It is absorbed by the body and can damage or affect cells. It has been
correlated with canker sores. Natural Tooth Cleaners

Tooth Brushing
As we learned from Dr. Phillips in the gum disease chapter, tooth brushing can be fine for teeth if the
bristles are soft and if there is not too much abrasion, but it can rapidly wear away your gums and
even cause gum disease. This is because brushing pushes the plaque into the gingival sulcus where the
gums meet the teeth. For tooth brushing to be healthy, you need to use blotting or at least an oral
irrigator after brushing to remove the plaque at the gum line. Soft tooth brushes with rounded ends help avoid eroding tooth enamel. Electric brushes which have
an electromagnetic component to them do a superior job of cleaning but they may lead to some minor
EMF exposure. There is also risk with electric toothbrushes of damaging the gums because of the high
speed of the vibrations. If you use one, be careful. Tooth and Gum Healing
While tooth liquid products clean the teeth, products made with herbs can heal the teeth and gums in a
different way. Herbs can build, pull out toxins, and nourish. Herbal tooth powder can be found at
some health food stores—make sure they do not have any toxic additives. Good herbal tooth and gum
mixtures are

Baking soda alkalizes the mouth. When the mouth is too acidic then tooth decay can be present. When
the mouth is too alkaline, then this might contribute to gum disease. I have had mixed reports on
baking soda and gums. Some reports say baking soda irritates the gums. Others have healed tooth
abscesses with baking soda. Herbal Tooth and Gum Powder Recipe
The following recipe makes a fabulous tooth powder. I purchase herbs at the local herb shop and
grind them in a coffee grinder. The recipe is from the late master herbalist Dr. John Christopher. 3 parts oak bark
6 parts comfrey root
3 parts horsetail grass
1 part lobelia
1 part cloves
3 parts peppermint
People need to be aware of the herbs they use, and use them wisely. (With prolonged and exclusive
use, this tooth powder may cause some slight tooth discoloration that can be cleaned off.) I alternate
using this herbal formula with the baking soda formula. The tooth and gum powder can also be placed
on gums for gum healing. You can purchase a high quality version of this formula at the Holistic
Dental Store (

Flossing
Flossing is literally a double-edged sword. Since many of us do not have perfectly aligned teeth, food
can get caught in between teeth. The disadvantage to flossing is that it is very easy to cut your gums. Injuring your gums daily does not seem like a practice that will promote healthy teeth and gums. The
advantage to flossing is that you are able to clean out debris from between your teeth that would
otherwise linger and putrefy in your mouth. If you floss your teeth, be very careful not to slash your gums. Using dental tape, which is a wide and
thick version of dental floss, is the recommended flossing technique of tooth hygiene specialist dentist
Robert. O. Nara. There is evidence from Dr. Phillips that flossing with string is not a part

choice	is	yours	to	make. Are	you	going	to	maintain	your	body	or	let	it	fall	apart. Toxins	Shut	Systems	Down
A	variety	of	toxic	chemicals	and	metals	can	damage	cells. Like	grains	of	sand,
toxins	can	jam	cellular	machinery	and	even	cause	entire	cell	factories	or
powerhouses	to	shut	down. Many	toxins	disable	enzymes,	which	are	necessary	for	the	chemical	reactions
that	make	our	lives	possible. The	number	of	chemical	reactions	required	to	make
life	possible	is	astonishing;	in	a	cell,	an	estimated	6	trillion	such	reactions	take
place	every	second. Enzymes	make	these	reactions	possible. About	two	thousand
kinds	of	enzymes	have	been	identified,	and	they	are	manufactured	by	our	cells	to
accomplish	a	variety	of	tasks. Enzymes	act	as	little	machines,	putting	things
together	or	taking	them	apart	at	amazingly	high	speed. Without	functioningenzymes,	cell	factories	and	assembly	lines	shut	down. The	kind	of	enzymes	a	particular	cell	manufactures	distinguishes	and
determines	what	kind	of	cell	it	is	(for	example,	a	nerve	cell	or	a	muscle	cell). Enzymes	serve	a	variety	of	purposes	and	must	be	constructed	with	many
different	nutrients. Enzymes	contain	essential	mineral	atoms,	such	as	zinc,
magnesium,	iron	and	chromium. If	these	building	materials	are	not	present	in
sufficient	quantity,	enzyme	function	(and	therefore	cell	function)	is	impaired. Take	zinc,	for	example. The	retina	contains	enzymes	constructed	with	zinc	and
is	a	zinc-rich	tissue. If	you	do	not	have	enough	zinc	in	your	diet,	your	retina	and
other	zinc-rich	tissues,	such	as	the	prostate,	will	be	impaired	before	obvious
effects	are	noticed	elsewhere	in	the	body. Night	blindness	and	malfunctioning
prostates	are	common	symptoms	of	zinc	deficiency. However,	even	if	dietary	zinc	is	adequate,	but	this	nutrient	is	replaced	in	the
enzyme	by	a	toxic	metal—such	as	mercury,	arsenic,	cadmium	or	lead—the
presence	of	this	toxin	disables	the	enzyme	and	causes	disease. Toxic	heavy
metals	are	a	prime	example	of	how	toxins	can	cause	cellular	malfunction,	and
our	bodies	contain	hundreds	of	times	more	toxic	metals	than	they	did	in	our
ancestors	a	century	ago. Mercury	is	a	toxic	heavy	metal	that	we	are	commonly
exposed	to	from	dental	work—amalgam	fillings	contain	mercury. Municipal
water	supplies	contain	toxins	such	as	aluminum,	fluoride	and	arsenic. Even	in
trace	amounts,	these	toxins	can	deactivate	enzymes	and	impair	vital	bodily
systems. They	can	cause	our	systems	to	shut	down. They	must	be	avoided. Building	and	using	enzymes	properly	is	an	essential	part	of	good	health,	as
enzyme	dysfunction	is	a	common	denominator	of	disease. Maintaining	proper
enzyme	balance	is	one	reason	to	eat	fresh	organic	foods. Organic	produce	is
richer	in	the	vitamins	and	minerals	that	enable	us	to	build	enzymes	and
coenzymes,	and	it	is	less	toxic,	too. Enzyme	function	can	also	be	enhanced	with
high-quality	dietary	supplements. The	First	Line	of	Defense
A	cell’s	first	line	of	defense	against	disease	is	the	cell	membrane,	the	security
wall	that	surrounds	the	cell	and	carries	out	many	important	functions. Healthy
membranes,	built	from	appropriate	materials,	protect	cells	from	harmful	invaders
—	including	viruses. Malfunctioning	membranes	allow	bacteria,	viruses,	toxins
and	other	harmful	substances	to	damage	cells. The	presence	of	poorly
constructed	cell	membranes	formed	from	poor	diets	is	one	of	the	biggest	reasons
that	almost	all	Americans	get	sick. The	cell	membrane	controls	everything	that	goes	into	and	out	of	a	cell. Making	certain	that	only	the	right	things	go	in	and	out	of	the	cell	is	a	critical	and
complex	task	that	only	can	be	accomplished	when	the	cell	membrane	is
constructed	correctly. The	membranes	that	surround	each	of	the	trillions	of	cells
in	your	body	are	made	mostly	of	fats	and	oils. Membranes	constructed	out	of	the
wrong	fats	and	oils	do	not	function	properly,	which	is	a	problem	for	most
Americans. For	example,	diets	with	excessive	amounts	of	saturated	fats,	which
are	rigid	molecules,	create	rigid	cell	membranes	that	lack	necessary	elasticity. Catastrophic	failures,	such	as	ruptured	blood	vessels	and	torn	muscles	and
tendons,	can	occur	in	tissues	made	from	these	rigid	cells. Cell	membranes	are	made	primarily	of	fatty	molecules	called	phospholipids. Special	kinds	of	oils	called	essential	fatty	acids	(EFAs)—omega-3s	and	omega-
6s—are	used	to	create	the	phospholipids	in	cell	membranes. These	oils	are
essential	because	your	body	is	unable	to	produce	them;	these	oils	must	be
obtained	through	diet. An	overwhelming	majority	—some	estimate	as	much	as
90	percent—of	the	U. S. population	may	be	deficient	in	the	correct	assortment	of
essential	fatty	acids. When	the	correct	raw	materials	are	lacking,	the	body	makes
cell	membranes	out	of	whatever	raw	materials	are	available. These	materials
include	the	hydrogenated	oils	found	in	margarine,	vegetable	shortening,	baked
goods	and	breakfast	cereals;	the	saturated	fats	from	meat	and	dairy	products;	and
the	trans-fatty	acids	found	in	processed	salad	and	cooking	oils. Cell	membranes
built	from	these	inappropriate	fats	and	oils	cause	the	membrane	and	the	entire
cell	to	malfunction. For	example,	building	a	cell	membrane	from	hydrogenated	oils	impairs	the
passage	of	oxygen	into	the	cell,	and	oxygen-deficient	cells	become	cancerous. None	of	us	would	build	a	house	with	cardboard	walls. Why,	then,	do	we	build
our	cell	membranes—our	first	line	of	defense	against	disease—out	of	junk
materials	like	margarine,	vegetable	shortening	and	supermarket	oils. Modern
diets	fail	to	supply	adequate	amounts	of	the	correct	essential	fatty	acids. I
recommend	supplementation	with	high-quality	essential	fatty	acids	and	fish	oils
(see	appendix	C). Weak	and	Rusty
To	be	healthy,	cells	must	be	supplied	with	adequate	amounts	of	antioxidants. Cell	membranes	and	the	factories	and	powerhouses	inside	of	cells	can	be
damaged	from	oxidation	via	free	radicals. Picture	how	oxidative	damage	(rust)
would	cause	the	Golden	Gate	Bridge	to	disintegrate	were	it	not	painted	with	a
protective	coating	each	year. Currently,	our	bodies	are	immersed	in	a	sea	ofhighly	reactive	chemicals—	such	as	ozone	in	urban	air	and	chlorine	in	tap	water
—that	create	oxidative	damage	to	our	bodies. You	likely	have	heard	reports
about	antioxidants	(such	as	vitamins	A,	C	and	E)	and	how	they	protect	us	against
free	radical	damage. Free	radicals	damage	our	cells	just	like	rust	corrodes	metal. Free	radicals	have
unpaired	electrons. Electrons,	which	travel	in	pairs,	are	charged	particles
orbiting	around	the	nucleus	of	atoms. An	un

over	years	and	decades, 	it	is	prudent 	to	periodically 	undergo 	comprehensive 	blood	tests
and	full	health	evaluations 	by	a	wholistic 	doctor. Supplementation 	with	vitamin 	B12 and
other	nutrients 	might	be	necessary 	for	some	individuals. When	the	soils	you	depend

FruiticultureRevealing the Sweet Truth About Fruit
by David Klein, Ph.D.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        Our eyes are our foremost organs of discovery. Experience and instinct must fix a recognition of the food as desirable. 2. A natural food must tantalize the
sense of smell. To be a natural food it must be redolent, aromatic or fra -
grant enough to arouse desire in those that smell it with their olfactory

senses. 3. A natural food must be easy to apprehend and acquire with our natural faculties. The
third requisite of a natural food is ease of discovery and acquisition with our natural fac -
ulties. With our eyes, sense of smell, physical faculties, especially our legs, feet, arms and hands, we must be able to ac quir
e quantities sufficient to meet our needs within our di -
urnal time frame. Our Natural F o
ods Must be Easily Consumed in Their Natural State as Modified By
Our Natural Faculties OnlyFoods of our biological and symbiotic nature are not always ready to consume. After ac -
quisition they usually require some external processing in order that their nutrients be
easily bitten off, chewed and sw allo
wed. Humans are the most fastidious of all eaters on
earth, rivaled perhaps only by other primates such as the chimp, orangutan and gorilla. External food processing for humans means we must prepare the food for mouth by
peeling off skins, cracking of shells, and otherwise exposing the food portion to the teeth such that bite-sized morsels may be facilitated. Our Natural Foods Must Be a Gustatory Delight in Their Natural StateHumans lived for millennia in nature before they became tool users and mastered fire. Tools do not occasion evolvement, but rather the fixation of existing faculties. Therefore
45
Fruiticultureany food, to be natural, must excite our palate and be delightful in the natural unfired
state. The eating of a natural food must be a cherished and palate-ravishing experience, as all acts necessary to our well-being are blissful. Endogenous Requirements of Our Natural FoodsOur natural foods are the raw materials the body’s internal faculties use to meet its
requirements. Our natural foods must be replete with our nutrient needs and contain no components
which devitalize or poison the body. Our Natural Foods Will Not Intoxicate or Poison Us. The first commandment of eating is: “Thou shalt not poison thyself. ”  The average
American commits from 10 to 80 poisonings acts daily. Our natural foods contain only components which have inherent enzymes that break them down into their basic nutri -
ents or simplest forms. Our natural foods require almost no enzyme secretion from our secr etory faculties f or basic digestion. I
f a food has components or compounds for which
we secrete no digestive enzymes, that component is toxic to our bodies and occasions considerable distress to most. Such components or compounds are often referred to as “allergens. ”  A natural food has no “allergens” at all though some of us may be abnormally sensitive to biologically correct foods. The foremost “allergens” are really proper body objection to toxic substances or substances that its faculties cannot digest. Poisons the average American consumes consist not only of recreational drugs, but of foods in -
gested with toxic components or which, in the course of intestinal transit, are bacterially and/or fungally transformed in t
o toxic putrefactive and/or fermentative products. Our Natural Foods Must Be Easily and Efficiently Digested and Utilized
Animals in nature are equipped to easily and efficiently handle their natural foods. This
is true of humans as well. What other animals may easily digest and assimilate may be impossible for us. We must recognize that many foods are predigested, that is, the en -
zymes of the foods break themselves down into simple nutrients as needed by their biological symbionts. Pr
edigestion is, of course, the ultimate accommodation between
symbionts. The less efficiently the food is digested, the worse it is for you. The more ef -
ficiently the food is digested, the better it is for you. Perhaps it can better be expressed 46
Fruiticulturethis way: More strain, more drain. Less strain, more gain. Our Natural Foods Must Have Nutrient Adequacy That Proportionately Supplies Our
Various Needs
Editor David Klein’s note: I have updated Dr. Fry’s dietary reference figures, replacing the
Nutritional Research Council RDAs (Recommended Daily Allowances) with modern-day DRIs (Daily Reference Intakes) per the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB), which operates under the US’s Institute of Medicine (IOM), within the National Academies (http://nationalacademies. org/hmd/~/media/Files/Activity%20Files/Nutrition/DRI-Tables/1_%20EARs. pdf. la=en). Estimated calorie needs per age, gender and physical activity level were tabulated by the US’s Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, operating under the U. S. Department of Agriculture (https://www. cnpp. usda. gov/sites/default/files/usda_food_patterns/EstimatedCalorieNeedsPerDayTable. pdf). Food symbiotic to a species amply supplies every nutrient need. This means that it does
not undersupply or oversupply any of our nutrient requirements to a burdensome or pathological extent. For instance, grass is a complete food for cattle. If foods are not symbiotic with the consuming species, certain nutrient needs must necessarily be met. Failure to meet nutrient needs results in deficiencies. Deficiencies give rise to many problems other than the obvious deficiency. The Daily Reference Intakes (DRIs) established by the US’s Food and Nutrition Board
(FNB) is deemed the most authoritative there is in this country, even though it is partially askew. The parameters and criteria they observed in the setting of the DRIs are relevant only to conventional-living Americans and quite out of line for a healthy person’s re -
quirements living on natural foods. Nevertheless, knowing FNB’s guidelines and meth -
odologies gives us ballpark proportions of our nutrient needs. The DRI for an activ e 50 y
ear-old man is 2,800 calories per day for conventional eaters. If 35% of those calories are from fat, which is the maximum the FNB recommends, that
means there are roughly 980 fat calories or roughly 109 grams of pure fat or fats in the solid state, thus leaving 1,820 calories to be supplied by proteins and carbohydrates. As the RDI is 56 grams of protein, 224 calories worth (which we really do not use for fuel), this leaves 1,594


 Manomaya
Kosha. This makes up the subtle or astral body which is
the field of our impressions. The subtle body functions in 118 Ayurveda and the Mind
dream and after-death states. The mind is action predom-
inant'7 and causes us to act in the outer world to establish
our identity as a bodily creature. Through it we take form
and have a function relative to other creatures. The outer mind adds an additional aspect of water to
the basic air and ether elements of consciousness, and, like
water, has an emotional nature. As such it has qualities in
common with Kapha, the biological water humor. Kapha
people usually have strong emotional natures as well as
sturdy physical bodies, and are well grounded in the realm
of the senses. '8 Similarly, the outer mind relates to Ojas,
the vital essence of water. Ojas is required for developing
and controlling the mind. Touch and Grasping
Though governing all sense and motor organs, the
mind most corresponds to touch as a sense organ and
grasping (the hands) as a motor organ. Touch is the root of
the lower four sense organs of touch, sight, taste and smell. It makes sensory impressions intimate and allows us to feel
them personally as pleasure and pain. Grasping — forming and making, the movement of
the hands — is the main action of the mind, which builds
up our idea of the world. As long as the mind is building
up its world of enjoyment, we must remain trapped in the
cycle of rebirth, ever seeking external happiness. Stopping
this formative action of the mind is the key to going
beyond birth and death. Energy
The mind is generally personal and is the vehicle for the
ego, but does connect with our genetic background and
species. Through the senses, it connects to our vital nature, The Outer Mind: The Field of the Senses
our Pranas, which aligns us with the vital natures of other
creatures. As dominated by Rajas, it is easily influenced by
the Pranas of ourselves or others, which are similarly the
outcome of Rajas or active energy. The sense mind (Manas) relates to instinct, but governs
a more superficial level of instinctual responses than our
deeper consciousness (Chitta). The sense mind relates more
to the subconscious and our deeper consciousness to the
unconscious. Our deeper consciousness governs primal
amorphous instincts like sex or the will to live. The mind
governs the specific urges of the sense and motor organs,
like the desire to speak or walk. Functions
The outer mind functions to plan, organize and consid-
er, and has the capacity to fashion, make, or imagine. The
two main functions of the outer mind, through which it
rules over sensation, emotion and thought, are: 1) inten-
tion, and 2) imagination'4
Intention
The mind always has a plan, intention or motivation. It
is always constructing something and drawing us into
some type of involvement, which tends to be external in
orientation. We are always involved in some planned activ-
ity, mainly centered around enjoyment for the self or ego
through the body and senses. The mind's normal function
is to build up our ego world, the realm of achievement and
acquisition, for the separate self. Unless we question and
control the mind, it will continue to create more involve-
ment and attachments that bring us sorrow. From the
mind derive ulterior motives that spoil our actions and
remove us from spontaneity. It makes us calculating and 120 Ayurveda and the Mind
self-seeking in all that we do. The result is we can receive
no real joy in what we do, which can only come unexpect-
edly and unsought. To find truth we must go beyond the
mind's plans and outer projects. The mind governs higher intentions as well, including
the will to do what is right. Having good intentions and
carrying them out is right mental activity. Such good
intentions are helping others, surrender to God, and
knowing ourselves. The creation of good intentions and
good attitudes helps develop the mind properly. These
require that we align the mind with our deeper intelli-
gence. When the mind is aligned with our deeper intelli-
gence, it becomes the will to truth and gives the power of
renunciation, through which we go beyond self-centered
attachments to oneness with all. Imagination
Imagination is the projection of a possibility, which
creates the future. Imagination is part of will, the projec-
tion of an intention. We must imagine something as a pos-
sibility before we can do it. If we are going to move our
hands, for example, we must first imagine doing it. Imag-
ination allows us to project future action, like planning
out a trip before taking it. Sensory perception is remem-
bered through imagination. Whatever we have experi-
enced through the senses, the mind can imagine. This
ability to reimagine things is the basis for developing
knowledge of the world. In its wrong action, imagination creates wishful think-
ing that causes illusions. We imagine something to be true
when it does not correspond to anything real. We confuse
being able to imagine something with actually doing it. This creates many psychological problems. We may imag- The Outer Mind: The Field of the Senses 121
ine many things about ourselves — that we are wise, right
or holy — which may have no real basis in our behavior. We confuse our emotional reactions, our personal likes and
dislikes, with what things actually are. The mind governs the dream state, in which our imag-
ination comes freely into play. Mind as the dream state
relates to the animal kingdom, which lives in a state of
dream or impressions prior to the development of con-
scious reason. Additional Functions
Art and Vision
The outer mind, ruling over expression, governs artis-
tic and creative work. A well-developed sense-mind is nec-
essary for the facility of the motor organs, like the skill of
the hands is responsible for the plastic arts. It gives refine-
ment of impressions, particularly when coordinated with
intelligence and consciousness. From it comes the creative
vision that allows us to create objects of pure form and aes-
thetic beauty (Sattvic impressions). For the higher creative function of the mind to develop
our enjoyment of subtle sensations, its lower function,
which is enjoyment of gross sensations, must be controlled
and redirected. The higher function of the mind reveals
the subtle senses and psychic abilities that go with them. This includes extrasensory perception (E. S. P. ), like seeing
or hearing at a distance, and action at a distance (subtle use
of the motor organs). Section summary:

Q: What is the ultimate goal of life, according to the text?,
A: The ultimate goal of life is not to explore the contents of consciousness but to dissolve them to realize the Self or Pure Consciousness.
Q: What is the role of the heart in the context of Ayurveda?,
A: The heart is the central core of deep feeling and profound knowing, and it is the seat of our deeper consciousness. It is the basis of our relationships and is influenced by our connections with others.
Q: What is the primary function of the intellect (Buddhi)?,
A: The primary function of the intellect is to determine truth and guide our actions, and it is responsible for decision-making and problem-solving.
Q: What is the difference between the intellect and true intelligence?,
A: The intellect is an instrument of thinking and processing information, while true intelligence is a direct and internal perception that transcends the senses and ego.
Q: What is the relationship between the mind and the senses?,
A: The mind coordinates the five senses and motor organs, and it serves as a screen for the senses, allowing us to perceive and react to the external world.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>All the sensory and motor organs

. Give the world your
spirit, and detach from the outcome of your ef forts, and your ener gy field
becomes less and less contaminated. These are the eight suggestions that Mother T eresa of Calcutta of fered as a
plan for your life. Her conclusion is the truly profound essence of this
offering. “Y ou see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and God; / it
was never between you and them anyway. ”
Recently I approached a traf fic light where a man stood in shabby clothes
with a three-legged dog by his side. As I waited for the light to change I
looked at this scene with compassion and felt an ur ge to contribute
something. The sign he was carrying indicated that he was homeless. The
people in my car commented that he was a strong young man, there were
plenty of employment opportunities, and why should anyone give to people
who are capable of working. They indicated a kind of mild contempt forthis man soliciting funds when he “should” be working like they worked
every day. My thoughts were on him and the fact that he cared for and fed
this crippled dog. I rolled down the window and gave him several dollars
for which he expressed enormous gratitude. As the companions in my car semi-scolded me for being a sucker and for
enabling him to continue to be a beggar I heard the words that Mother
Teresa said. T ruly this was not between me and my friends in the car, nor
was it between me and that homeless man. It was between me and God. And something inside of me ur ged me to extend love and a little cash as
well. The next time you see anyone asking for money, remind yourself of
this, and if you honestly feel that you don’ t want to give, then by all means
don’t, but rather than being critical, angry, or even mildly upset, instead
offer that person a silent blessing and drive on with your ener gy field
uncontaminated by those lower vibrations. Before we turn to the third field of ener gy, I’ll close this section with
Mother T eresa’ s observation. It is a valuable guide to preventing the lower
energies of others in your immediate surroundings to impact your ener gy
field in an impure way. THE FINAL ANALYSIS

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true
enemies;
Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight;
Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often for get tomorrow;
Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway. —Mother T eresa of Calcutta
Decontaminating Y our Mind Fields of Energy
Here we enter a somewhat obscure area. But nevertheless it is of equal
importance for you in maintaining your ef fort to avoid contaminating your
life, so that you might implement spiritual solutions. Here we are talking
about thoughts, yours and those of others around you, and how you can
keep yours pure, and not allow the low ener gy thoughts of others to impact
you in a desecrating manner. This vignette from my life will help you
understand what I mean. In 1982 I went to Greece to run in the footsteps of Pheidippides who
purportedly ran the twenty-six-plus miles from Marathon to Athens in 490b. c. to carry news of the Greek victory over the Persians. I was part of a big
group of runners and other tourists who were gathered at JFK International
Airport in the departure lounge when we learned that the plane’ s departure
would be delayed by seven hours. The place became one gigantic collection
of grumblers, complainers, and agitated people who now had to decide what
to do for the next seven hours. Amid this chaos was a little old Greek lady, perhaps in her eighties, all
dressed in black, who proceeded to take a seat, close her eyes and,
apparently unconcerned about the delay, sit with a smile on her face as if
she were meditating. I walked around the Olympic Airline T erminal for two
hours and then wandered back to the departure area and there sat the little
old Greek lady, as peaceful as could be, still in the same position, still
showing no signs of dismay. I then took a cab to a movie nearby and returned to the airport three hours
later, and the little old Greek lady still sat in her peaceful manner. Other
passengers began to return still grumbling and upset six hours after the
announcement. But the little old Greek lady in black was unperturbed and
just as peaceful as before. Eight hours after the original departure time we
all boarded the plane. The little old Greek lady sat across the aisle from me. She smiled at me as we sat down, and then, believe it or not, for the next
thirteen hours, the duration of that flight across the world, she never moved
once. She didn’ t eat, drink, get up, watch a movie, complain, stir—nothing
but sit in the same position as in the departure area, with the same contented
look on her face. Finally, almost twenty-two hours after we had arrived at JFK for the flight,
we landed in Athens. As we left the customs area I noticed the little old
Greek lady in black being met by her family. She laughed, took out gifts for
the many children who awaited her arrival, hugged everyone, and was in an
animated, high ener gy, joyful mood as she left the airport. Almost two decades have passed and I have never for gotten that little Greek
lady and the impact she was to have on my life, even though we only
exchanged a smiling glance. Every time I observed her, either in the chaotic
departure area or on the plane, I noticed that I felt more comfortable, more
at ease, and less inclined to be upset. She had the same impact on all theother marathoners who were in the lar ge collection of passengers. W e all
remarked that she was twice our age and dressed in uncomfortable clothes. And we all noticed how she didn’ t demand food or lodging vouchers, didn’ t
threaten a lawsuit, but simply went to a chair and put her mind into a state
of bliss. Her silent statement impacted all those who observed her in a way
that seemed to relax everyone. T o this day, whenever I am involved in a
similar delay situation I recall that little old Greek lady all dressed in black
and remind myself of how to enter and remain in a mind field of peace. That our thoughts impact us is too obvious to elaborate on further. We all
know that we become what we think about. But it is significant to
remember that our thoughts are a field of ener gy cycles, a mind field, and
that just by our thoughts alone we impact not only ourselves but those
around us as well. The little old Greek lady was able to spread an invisible
energy of contented bliss to all of us on that flight by doing nothing more
than sitting and thinking. Obviously, she resonated her inner calm to all of
us. Scientists describe thought as an or ganized field of ener gy composed of
complex patterns of vibrations that consolidate information. Dr. Valerie
Hunt further describes it in her book, Infinite Mind : “Thoughts are events in
the mind field that are available not only to the consciousness of the creator,
but also to other minds. ” She explains that our thoughts are not private but
rather “field-public. ” This means that you do not think in a vacuum, but that
your thoughts are created from transactions with other fields. Thoughts can
be passed on from generation to generation not just by photographs, print,
or the spoken word, but also by the strength of thoughts remaining in your
mind fields. The more dynamic your field of ener gy, the more capable you are of
communicating and impacting your thoughts to others, and in being
impacted yourself. How do you go about making your thoughts so dynamic
and creative. I quote Dr. Valerie Hunt again. “One does not dwell upon the
process nor does one struggle to get answers. One trusts the process of
higher creative thought. Such is the capacity of great healers, lecturers,
clairvoyants, physicians and spiritual leaders when they enter expanded
consciousness states. ” Y ou can do this. Y ou have the potential to keep yourfield of ener gy uncontaminated, and the potential to radiate a dynamic
spiritual ener gy. Simply by your presence alone, vibrating in this mind field
of creativity and peace, you can impact others. Your intellect might protest and attempt to convince you that mind fields
and silent communication of ener gy are nonsense. But once you see this at
work you’ll know. The intellect itself is too disconnected from etheric
energy forces to readily accept such possibilities, but I have seen it work
over and over in my own life. When I am able to consciously project love,
understanding, and compassion to those in my immediate life space, I feel
the shift in ener gy. I surrender my judgment or my desire to make my


 This amount of
cod liver oil on a regular basis over time would gently correct vitamin A
deficiency. The diet, which we have talked about, would also provide con
siderable amounts of this valuable vitamin. The whole nutritional pro
gramme over time would restore proper digestion and absorption of this
vitamin, as well as many other nutrients. 4. DIGESTIVE ENZYMES
1. Hypochlorhydria
People with abnormal gut flora almost without exception have low stomach
acid production. Toxins produced by overgrowth of Candida species, Clostridia
and other pathogens have a strong ability to reduce secretion of stomach acid. What does it mean and why is it important? The stomach is the place where protein digestion begins. Hydrochloric
acid produced by the stomach walls activates pepsin, a protein-digesting
enzyme, which starts breaking down the very complex structure of dietary
proteins into peptides and amino acids. To do its work properly pepsin
needs the pH of the stomach to be 3 or below. In hypochlorhydria not
enough acid is produced, so the pH in the stomach is not low enough for
pepsin to do its job properly. The most studied proteins in connection with GAPS conditions, particu
larly autism and schizophrenia, are gluten and casein. In these patients the
digestive system converts them into opiate-like substances, called caso
morphin and gliadomorphin, which are thought to find their way to the
patient's brain and block a lot of normal brain activity and development. The digestion of casein and gluten, just as digestion of all other proteins,
starts in the stomach. In a child or an adult with low stomach acidity this
digestive process goes wrong from the beginning, which sets up the scene
for the formation of casomorphin and gliadomorphin. DrW. Shaw, in the
revised edition of his book Biological Treatments for Autism andPDD, gives
an interesting example of a child, who had a very severe withdrawal re
action, when casein and gluten were taken out of his diet, with violent
behaviour and refusal to eat or drink. Indeed withdrawal of opiates in drug
addiction can be extremely dramatic. But in this child the withdrawal
symptoms were temporarily relieved by regular administration of Alka-
Seltzer Gold. Now why would simple bicarbonate Alka-Seltzer Gold have
such an effect? Maybe the answer is that by neutralising whatever little
stomach acid the child had, Alka-Seltzer Gold interfered with the digestion
of other dietary proteins with production of other opiate-like peptides,
which were giving this child a temporary "morphine fix", reducing the
withdrawal symptoms? As a result of low stomach acid production the whole process of protein
digestion in the body goes wrong from the very beginning. The
maldigested protein then passes through into the small intestine. The
intestinal wall and pancreatic enzymes, which accomplish further steps in
the protein digestion, expect the protein to arrive from the stomach in a
particular form in order to do their job properly. It is like a conveyer belt or
an assembly line in a factory. If the first person does a poor job, then no
matter how well the rest of the people in the line may work, the end pro
duct is likely to be of a poor quality. However, what happens in the body is
even worse. The problem is that in the body "the rest of the line" cannot
work properly either, because it is regulated by the "first person". This first
person is the stomach acid. Stomach acidity is the major regulator of pan
creatic and liver ability to respond to arriving food. In a normal situation
food coming from the stomach into the duodenum has to have a pH of 2 or
below to stimulate production of two very important players in the whole
digestive process. These players are two hormones, produced by the walls
of the duodenum, which get absorbed into the blood and carried to the
pancreas, liver, stomach and many other organs in the body. These hor
mones are secretin and cholecystokinin. The first hormone, secretin, gives
the stomach a command to stop producing its juices, stimulates the liver to
produce bile and lets the intestinal lining know that food is coming, so it
makes enough mucous to protect itself. But the most important thing that
it does is to stimulate the pancreas to produce alkalising bicarbonate solu
tion to neutralise the acid in the food, which has just arrived from the
stomach, because normally the duodenum and the rest of the small intes
tine have a far more alkaline pH. This alkaline pH is essential for pancreatic
enzymes to do their job of digesting proteins, fats and carbohydrates. By
stimulating production of bicarbonate secretin prepares the food for the
digestive enzymes coming from the pancreas. To produce these digestive enzymes the pancreas needs the command
of the second hormone - cholecystokinin. If cholecystokinin is not made
by the walls of the duodenum because of too little acid coming from the
stomach with the food, then the pancreas will be sitting there idly and not
producing its digestive enzymes to deal with that food. In addition, chole
cystokinin tells the stomach to stop its activity, makes the gallbladder
empty its bile into the duodenum, ready to digest fats, and opens the gates
for pancreatic juices to flow and start digesting arriving food (F1G.7). These two hormones are so important in normal food digestion that
without them this digestion simply cannot happen. Unfortunately, in a person with low stomach acidity that is exactly what happens. The food
comes from the stomach not acid enough to trigger the production of
secretin and cholecystokinin. So, the pancreas does not produce its juices
and bile is not secreted to work on the fats. Maldigestion and malabsorp
tion follow. Partially digested proteins, like casomorphin and gliadomor
phin and many others get produced and absorbed through the damaged
leaky intestinal wall, acting as opiates in the brain. Other maldigested pro
teins cause allergies and autoimmune reactions, draining an already com
promised immune system even further. A lot of essential vitamins, amino
acids and minerals do not get absorbed, causing nutritional deficiencies. Maldigested carbohydrates get consumed by abnormal flora, which con
verts them into alcohol, acetaldehyde and a whole host of other toxins. Fats
do not get digested, which makes the person deficient in extremely impor
tant fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, essential fatty acids, and gives the
person pale floating stool or diarrhoea. Undigested food simply rots in the
digestive tract, poisoning the whole body. Secretin has received a lot of publicity in autistic circles since some cases
of great improvements were seen after injecting autistic children with
secretin. Soon homeopathic forms of this hormone became available. Cholecystokinin is available as a supplement in the USA and some parents
who tried it with their children apparently reported similar to secretin
effect. Unfortunately, the majority of autistic children show very little or no
response to this treatment, because secretin is only one factor in a very
complex digestive process. Normalising stomach acid production is a far
more important intervention in order to put the whole digestive process
right from the beginning. Apart from literally ruining the whole digestive process, lack of acid in
the stomach has other serious implications. Stomach acid is the first barrier for huge numbers of microbes arriving
with every bit of food or drink we put into our mouths. If the stomach is not
acid enough, these microbes have a good chance of getting into the
intestines, which they would colonise and cause trouble. They even start
growing in the stomach itself! Normally the stomach is the least-populated
area of the digestive system due to its extremely acid environment. However, in a person with hypochlorhydria all sorts of pathogenic and
opportunistic bacteria and fungi can grow on the stomach wall, such as
Helicobacter pylori, Campylobacter pylori, Enterobacterial Candida,
Salmonella, E. coli, Streptococci, etc. The most research in this area has been
done in stomach cancer patients, the majority of which show low levels of FIG. 7 Regulation of digestive process by the stomach acid. stomach acid production. Microbes, which populate low acid stomach play
a very important role in causing stomach cancer, ulcers and gastritis. Of course, most of these microbes love to eat carbohydrates, particularly
the processed kind. The digestion of carbohydrates starts in the mouth with
the action of saliva. When the food arrives into the stomach in the normal
situation stomach acid stops this digestion. So, carbohydrates have to wait
until they arrive at the duodenum to be digested. But in the stomach with
low acidity overgrowing microbes start fermenting dietary carbohydrates,
often with the production of various toxins and gas, which can make it very
uncomfortable for the GAPS child or adult and make them refuse food. So, what do we do? I believe that GAPS patients need supplementation with stomach acid. The most physiological preparation available on the market is Betaine HC1

plus other side effects. The proximal cause of all the aforementioned scenarios
is excess adrenaline. Elevated blood pressure is commonly
treated with a beta-blocker, such as atenolol, metoprolol, or ADRENALINE DOMINANCE 42   |
propranalol, which blocks the effects of adrenaline. Wouldn’t
it make more sense to just lower adrenaline and avoid using a
class of drugs that can cause impotence, weight gain (they are
antithyroid drugs), bronchial spasm leading to asthma, plus
other side effects. High adrenaline can be easily controlled
with diet and hormones, and then the patient can gradually
wean himself or herself off the antihypertensive medications. DIABETES
The two most common types of diabetes are type I and type II. Type I diabetes is caused by lack of insulin. Type II (adult
onset) diabetes is commonly thought to be caused by resistance
to insulin—that is, the cells become resistant to the action of
insulin, so sugar has difficulty getting into the cells. However,
I, along with a small but growing number of physicians, feel that type II diabetes is actually caused by the overproduction
of insulin. A growing number of physicians feel that
type II diabetes is actually caused by the
overproduction of insulin. This view of type II diabetes is controversial and contrary to
the traditional approach. However, the traditional approach is
clearly not working. Attempts to lower blood sugar levels with
drugs that increase insulin production or with insulin itself, as
well as to lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure, usually all fail to prevent the complications of diabetes. In fact, those studies that have attempted to reduce sugar levels to normal in diabetics by increasing insulin to a high level have resulted |   43 ExCESS  ADRENALINE: THE  BAD
in an alarming increase in mortality and complications. In
2012, the normal level for hemoglobin A1C, the time-honored
measurement of diabetic control, was raised from 6. 5 to 7. 5, an
indication that diabetes experts may be realizing that lowering
sugar levels by increasing insulin is not the answer. Standard thinking about diabetes is that sugar cannot
get into the cells because all the cells are resistant to insulin;
therefore the sugar stays in the bloodstream. However, I have
suspected for some time that an additional factor might be
involved: that the sugar cannot be transported into fat cells for
storage purposes because the fat cells have become saturated
with fat (i. e., there is no more room at the inn). As a result,
the sugar level in the blood goes up. The importance of dealing with insulin in type II diabetes
cannot be overstated. Insulin is a fat-storing hormone. It creates
fat by pushing sugar into fat cells, where it is converted into fat
for storage; it also sits outside fat cells and blocks the release of fat. Insulin is recognized as the cause of fat accumulating
around the abdomen. People who produce a lot of insulin often
have a paunch around the middle and relatively thin legs and arms. I suspect that when the fat cells in the abdominal area fill up, diabetes can follow. Let’s look at this more closely. The number of fat cells we
have throughout life is generally determined at a very young
age. People who were thin early in life often have fewer fat cells
as adults. Because they have fewer fat cells to absorb sugar, they
may be predisposed to developing adult-onset diabetes. (I have
observed that some women who have undergone significant
liposuction procedures can develop a type of diabetes that is
often incurable—they have run out of fat cells in which to
store sugar. ) The current epidemic of type II diabetes among ADRENALINE DOMINANCE 44   |
teenagers might very well be due to a combination of how
they eat, lack of exercise to burn off sugar, excessive adrenaline
(which raises both sugar and insulin), and, in some cases,
having been thin early in life. If type II diabetes is caused by excess insulin, where does
the excess insulin come from. In my view, adrenaline is the root
cause. Overproduction of adrenaline leads to overproduction
of sugar in order to fuel the brain and muscles. The elevated blood sugar stimulates the release of insulin. At the same time, overproduction of adrenaline also causes
the release of cortisol. Cortisol, like adrenaline, raises the blood
sugar level, which stimulates the release of insulin. As we have seen, elevated insulin lowers blood sugar
(hypoglycemia). And low blood sugar stimulates cravings for
food high in sugar as well as the release of more adrenaline
(and cortisol), and so the cycle continues. This cycle can also include the release of glucagon, another
hormone that can raise the sugar level. So now three hormones
are raising the sugar level, which is further exacerbated if
the person eats foods high in sugar. Is it any wonder that
people wind up with high sugar levels leading to a diagnosis of
diabetes. Along the same lines, could the release of adrenaline
at night be the reason that fasting sugars in the morning are often the highest sugars of the day in a diabetic. My approach to treating type II diabetes is the same as for
other medical conditions: I try to treat the underlying cause. When the insulin level is controlled, fat production is decreased
and the ability to burn fat increases, so the oversaturated fat cells let go of some of their fat. Once the amount of fat inside the fat cells is reduced, there is room in those cells for sugar to get inside so the blood sugar level drops. |   45 ExCESS  ADRENALINE: THE  BAD
Compare this approach to the traditional method of
treating type II diabetes. Patients are placed on medications
that increase insulin production or are placed on insulin itself. In my view, these patients are being treated with the very
hormone that causes not only diabetes but also most of the
complications of diabetes. Not surprisingly, these patients gain
more fat around the middle. They often feel sleepy between
three and four in the afternoon or after eating—a sign that
they are likely producing a significant amount of insulin. When a type II diabetic is taken off insulin medication in
conjunction with adopting an insulin-reducing meal plan and
using progesterone cream, it is not unusual for the numbness
in their feet (diabetic neuropathy) to improve. Patients on medications that increase insulin
production or on insulin itself are being treated with
the very hormone that causes diabetes. To summarize my view of insulin: it contributes to
accumulation of fat around the middle, it causes type II
diabetes and many of the complications of diabetes, and it
raises blood pressure and speeds up the aging process. Yet this
is the hormone that we use to treat type II diabetics. Could this be the reason they rarely get well. The effectiveness of reducing insulin in order to eliminate
diabetes is illustrated in the following letter from a patient: ADRENALINE DOMINANCE 46   |
September 7, 2010
Patient J. K. I am a retired physicist and aerospace scientist, age
82, and a patient of Dr. Platt’s. In 1985, I was diagnosed
with type II diabetes by my internist. The diagnosis was by glucose challenge; I had no symptoms that I recognized
or complained of. I sought the best medical help I could
find during subsequent years. Endocrinologists in Santa
Ana, CA, UCLA  Medical Center, Loma Linda Medical
Center, and UCSD  Medical Center treated me. I was
treated with sulfonylureas, metformin, insulin, Rezulin,
Avandia, and Actos. When first diagnosed, I weighed
approximately 180 lbs. When I first visited Dr. Platt,
January 19, 2010, I weighed 265 lbs. All of the physicians I
visited suggested I lose weight, but none told me that excess
insulin causes fat storage and weight gain, or that excess insulin is a characteristic of type II diabetes and of their
treatment. They all encouraged me to control blood sugar. None mentioned that there is no scientific evidence that
control of blood sugars to near normal levels will control diabetic complications. Since seeing Dr. Platt in January 2010, I have
understood the need to control insulin, and so I stopped all my diabetic medications. I now weigh 210 lbs., a loss
of 55 lbs. I feel good. I have no retinopathy. My blood
sugars are back to normal. As I mentioned in chapter 3, I suspect that progesterone
may help to control insulin by preventing the action of
insulin at insulin receptor sites, which is actually a form
of insulin resistance. Because insulin resistance might be a |   47 ExCESS  ADRENALINE: THE  BAD
factor with certain diabetics, I recommend that they continue
with metformin if they are on it, since it helps with insulin
resistance. Diabetics who have creative ADHD  may need to
take metformin to help prevent progesterone-induced insulin
resistance in brain cells. WEIGHT PROBLEMS
When it comes to weight, the effect of adrenaline can go in
either direction. On the one hand, adrenaline can increase
metabolism and energy levels, which promotes the burning of
fat. We often see this in children diagnosed with typical type
ADHD : they are hyperactive and usually on the thin side, and
in high school and college,


 merely saysto the other person, “I am a small person; please treat me that way” and, of
course, they promptly do. As is quite apparent, all of the above emotions are manipulative of the
other person and destructive of real relationship. They all diminish our self-
esteem for they are all positions of vulnerability. Thus, although we may
think that we feel well and secure at the level of pride, that pride is always
accompanied by defensiveness due to its basic vulnerability. W e puf f up
with pride whenever we feel insecure. The inflation of pride is easily
susceptible to the puncture of a passing remark or raised eyebrow. The Human Condition
All of the negative feelings are essentially forms of fear: fear of loss of
esteem by ourselves or others, or fear of not surviving and a loss of security. Because most of the negative feelings are accompanied by a negative value
judgment, they are suppressed, repressed, or projected. Section summary:

repression, and projection are all destructive dynamics and result in a
progressive stress on and decline of our relationships. W e like to pretend that our innermost feelings are unknown to others,
but are they? W e are all connected to each other on the psychic, intuitive
level; so, our feelings are read and known by others. W e may not be
consciously aware of it, but their behavior toward us reveals that they know
our inner attitude and feelings toward them. For example, let’ s say that our external behavior on the job is
exemplary. Why is it, we ask, that the other person gets the promotion or
the recognition, and we do not? The answer is to look at our hidden inner
feelings about the boss and the job. Do we really think that he hasn’ t
registered our inner envy, criticalness, and resentment? It is a safe bet to
assume that others know our inner feelings and the thoughts that go with
those feelings. The kind of thoughts we are having about them is very likely
matched with similar thoughts they are having about us. If we realize this
principle, a lot of things that happen in our life will start to make sense. W e
can ask ourselves, “How would I react if I were the other person and knew
exactly what my personal inner feelings and thoughts really were?” The
answer to that will usually make clear what the other person’ s behavior is
all about. Perhaps we didn’ t get the promotion because, at the unspoken,
ener getic level, our boss knew that we were critical of him, resentful of our
colleagues, and clamoring for approval and recognition.Before searching ourselves for negative feelings, it is best to remember
that these feelings are not our real inner Self. They are learned programs we
have inherited from being humans. Nobody is exempt from them; everyone
from the highest to the lowest has or has had an ego. Even the few who are
enlightened had an ego at one time before it was finally transcended. This is
the human condition. T o be able to observe our feelings honestly requires a
nonjudgmental attitude. W e first have to be aware of what is really going on inside of us before
we can do anything about it. As we let go of a feeling, it is replaced by a
higher one. The only purpose for recognizing and admitting a feeling is so
that we can relinquish it. T o be surrendered means that we are willing to
relinquish a feeling by allowing ourselves just to experience it and not to
change it. Resistance is what keeps it there in the first place. W e may think that some of the negative emotions are necessary to us;
however, upon examination we will discover that this is an illusion. The
higher emotions are far more powerful and ef fective in bringing about the
fulfillment of our needs. Let’ s ask ourselves, for example, what would we be willing to do for
someone we really, truly love? W e will instantly see that it is almost
anything. There is almost no limit to which we will go for love. Now
contrast this with what we are willing to do for someone who has
intimidated us. W e will see that we grudgingly give as little as possible. While the intimidators may seem to get away with something temporarily
on the surface, they really have lost the whole thing, haven’ t they? Their
victory is superficial, temporary, and not even real—a victory in appearance
only. In the end, the world turns, and the intimidators sow their own
destruction. What we win by the negative emotion is short-lived and
inauthentic. It doesn’ t really satisfy. It’ s like a forced compliment. Real
happiness results from a win-win situation. The price of a win-lose situation
is hatred and low self-esteem. Underneath it all, we fool neither ourselves,
nor others. Others always know when we are out to exploit them. If we have dif ficulty in relinquishing a feeling, it helps merely to look
at the intent of that feeling. What is the purpose of it? What is the supposed
purposeful ef fect on the other person? What is their likely response? Do we
really want that? If this were the last day of our life, would that really be
what we wanted? W ell, this is  the last day of our life—our old life with allits conflicts, anxiety, and fear. That is the price we have paid for holding on
to the old. As we relinquish the negative suppressed feelings from all the
programs we have internalized, they are automatically replaced by the
higher ones. W e become happier and lighter and so do the people around us. Let’ s review what these higher feelings are and what ef fect they have on the
other person’ s feelings and behavior in response to us. Positive Feelings
The higher feelings of courage, willingness, confidence, capability, “can
do,” zest, humor, competence, self-suf ficiency, and creativity have an
emotional purpose: ef fective actions, operation, and accomplishment. The
reaction of other persons will reflect back to us cooperation, courage,
respect, and a willingness to be with us. Additionally, because we increase
their self-esteem, they seek our company. As we look at all of this, we see
that there is a wonderful payof f in return for our willingness to let go of the
negative feelings that stand in the way of these higher feelings, which
ef fortlessly accomplish our real goals and purpose. When we are operating on the level of acceptance, enjoyment, warmth,
gentleness, softness, trustingness, inner truth, and faith, the emotional
purposes to which the other person responds are those of love, enjoyment,
pleasure, harmony, peacefulness, understanding, and sharing. Their reaction
to us will be one of acceptance, satisfaction, feeling “in tune,” feeling
understood, and joy. They will automatically return our love. It is rather
obvious that these reciprocal feelings bring about success in whatever the
venture may be with the other person, whether it is vocational, social,
personal, or a simple everyday business interaction. Connectedness
When our inner feelings are of peacefulness, serenity, tranquility, stillness,
openness, and simplicity, the ef fect on other persons is to increase their
awareness along with our own, and to give them a greater sense of freedom,
per
