Q: What is the true nature of the "high" experienced through drug or alcohol use?,
A: The "high" is not a real experience, but rather a suppression of lower energy fields, allowing the individual to experience higher states of consciousness.
Q: What is the significance of the 600 level of consciousness?,
A: The 600 level of consciousness is a state of infinite peace and love, which reprograms the individual's entire life, and once experienced, it is never forgotten.
Q: How does the kinesiological method work?,
A: The method bypasses the limitations of the listener and can be used to calibrate the level of truth, allowing for the detection of hidden patterns and the identification of the level of truth.
Q: What is the relationship between the level of consciousness and the capacity to experience higher states?,
A: The level of consciousness is not directly related to the capacity to experience higher states, but rather, it is the suppression of lower energy fields that allows for the experience of higher states.
Q: How does the kinesiological method address the issue of truth?,
A: The method can be used to verify the truth of any statement, allowing for the detection of false information and the identification of the level of truth.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>The benefits to be derived from

"stressor" maintains its unabated influence. Prolactin will make sure that the lactating mother will continue to produce milk. Al l species have it. Prolactin will
prime the gland cells in the breast to continue milk production even if there is dehydration or stress that will cause
dehydration. It will prime the gland cells to regenerate and increase in quantity. We should remember that although we concentrate on the solid composition of the milk, it is its water content that is
of primary im portance to the growing fetus. Every time a cell gives rise to a daughter cell, 75 percent or more of its
volume has to be filled with water. In short, growth depends on the availability of water. When "water" is brought to
the area, the cells will be able to access it s other dissolved contents. This hormone is also made in the placenta and
stored in the amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus. In short, this hormone has a "mamotrophic" action. It makes the
breast glands and their ducts grow. Growth hormone has much similarity to prolactin. They have similar actions,
except that prolactin mainly targets the organs of reproduction. It has been shown in mice that increased prolactin production will cause mammary tumors. In 1987,1 proposed in
my guest lecture address of an internationally gathered select group of cancer researchers that chronic dehydration
in the human body is a primary causative factor for tumor production. The relationship between stress, age-
dependent chronic dehydration, persiste nt prolactin secretion, and cancer transformation of the glandular tissue in
the breast should not be overlooked. A regular adjustm ent to the daily water intake in women—particularly when
confronting stresses of everyday life—will at least se rve as a preventive measure against possib le development of
stress-induced breast cancer in the age group of wom en predisposed to this problem and prostate cancer in men. Vasopressin regulates the selective flow o f water into some cells of the body. It also causes a constriction of the
capillaries it activates. As its name implies, it causes vaso-constriction. It is produced in the pituitary gland and
secreted into the circulation. While it may con strict blood vessels, some vital cells possess receiving points
(receptors) for this hormone. Depending on the hierarchy o f their importance, som e cells seem to possess more
vasopressin  receptors than others. The cell membrane—the protective covering of cell architecture— is naturally designed in two layers. Tuning-fork-
like solid hydrocarbon "bricks" are held together by the adhesive property of water (see Figure 14, page 85). In
betwee n the two layers there is a connecting passageway whe re enzyme s travel, selectively react together, and
cause a desired action within the cell. This wat erway works v ery much like a moat or "beltway,"  excep t that it is a
water-filled "beltway"  and everything has to float in it. When there is sufficient water to fill all the spaces, the moat gets filled and water will also get into the cell. There
may come a time when the rate of water flow into the cell may not be sufficient, and some of the cell functions m ay
become affecte d. To safeguard against such  a possible catastrophic situation, nature has designed a magnificent
mechanism for the creation of water filters through the membrane. When vasopressin  hormone reaches the cell
membrane and fuses with its spe cially designed receptor, the receptor converts to a "shower head" structure and
makes possible filtration of only water through its holes. The important cells manufactu re the vasopressin receptor in greater quantity. Vasopressin  is one of the hormones
involved in the rationing and distribution of water according to a priority plan when there is dehydration. Nerve cells
seem to exercise their priority by manufacturing more vasopressin receptors than other tissue cells. They need to
keep the waterways in their nerves fully functional To make sure the water can pass through these tiny holes (which
only allow th e passage of one water molecule at a time), vasopressin  also has the property of causing
vasoco nstriction and putting a squeeze on the fluid volume in the region. Thus, the hypertensive property of the neurotransmitter vasopressin —better known as a hormone—is needed to
bring about a steady filtration of water into the cells, only whe n the free flow and direct diffusio n of water through the
cell membrane is insufficient Figure 10 is designed to explain this mechanism. For more information on the cell
membrane, read the section on cholesterol. ALCOHOL
Alcohol will suppress th e secretion of vaso pressin from the pituitary gland. Lack of vasopressin in circu lation will
translate to general dehydration of the body—even in the brain cells. Now, a  previously slig ht and easier-to-adjust-to
dehydration will translate to a very severe drought in the "sensitive cells" of the brain. To cope with this "stress,"
more of the various hormones are secre ted, including the body's own addictive endorphins. Thus, prolonged use of alcohol may be instrumental in promoting addictive tendencies to endorphin secretion in the
body— triggering the secretion of excess endorphins. Women, because of their natural tendency to increased
endorphin production to cope with childbirth and their monthly menstruation, seem to become addicted to alcohol
more readily than men. It seems that women become addicted to alcohol in about three years compared to men,
who may become compulsive drinkers in about seven years. Figures 10 and 11 will explain som e of the possible contributory factors to the development of chr onic fatigue
syndrome during an expanding chronic dehydration. It can occur from the regular intake of caffeine-containing and
alcoholic beverages in place of water. Vaso pressin receptor is naturally designed to keep the waterways in the
nerve systems fully topped up. Naturally, in dehydration of the nerve system, the energy and volition to do new work
is drastically reduced. In severe dehydration, produced by th e habitual intake of alcohol and caffeine, when water has to be urgently
pumped into the "waterways" in the nerves, more blood circulation has to be brought alongside the nerves. Th e
process will  involve the release of histamine from the cells in the lining that cover the nerves. This will, at some
point, cause an "inflammatory" situ ation that will eventually damage the lining of the nerves in the vicinity—at a pace
faste r than they can be repaired. The outward manifesta tions of such  a "regional" process have been labeled as
different nerve disorders, including multiple sclerosis (MS). Now, their prevention and treatment become clear. I
have seen it work in MS. See John Kuna's letter on page 70. RENI N-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM
Renin-Angiotensin (RA) system activity (see Figure 12) is a subordinate mechanism to histamine activation in the
brain. The RA sy stem is also recognized to be very strongly active in the kidneys. This system is activated whe n the
fluid volume of the body is d iminished. It is activated to retain water, and to do so, it also promotes the absorption of
more salt. In either water or sodium depletion of the body, the RA system becomes very active. Until water and sodium content of the body re ach a preset level, the RA sy stem also brings about the tightening of
the capillary bed and the vascular system. It is designed to do this so there is no "slack" and empty space in the
circulation system. This tightening can reach such a level that it becomes measurable, and we call it hypertension. You think a reading of 200 points is high? I have seen the blood pressure of a man without prior history of
hypertension reach a level of 300 millimeters of mercury, 300 points, whe n he was a rrested and taken to one of the
Iranian political prisons to be shot. The reason for this tightening of the blood vessels during stress is sim ple to understand. The body is a highly
integrated and efficient com plex multi-system. When there is stress, som e of the available water is used for the
breakdown of sto red materials, su ch as proteins, starch (glycogen)\and fat. To compensate for the lost water and to
put the system into a squeeze, the RA sy stem will also coordinate work with vasopressin and other hormones. The
kidneys are the main site of/RA sy stem activity. The kidneys are responsible for urine production and the excretion of excess hydrogen, potassium, sodium, and
waste  materials. All of these functions have to be maintained proportionate to the sufficient availability of water to be
used to make urine. It is true the kidneys have the ability to concentrate the urine. However, this ability is not to be
used to its extreme at all times, or it will eventually produce kidney damage. The RA sy stem is the pivotal mechanism for the restoration of fluid volume in the body. It is one of the subordinate
mechanisms to histamine activity for water intake. It regulates the vascular bed to adjust for the fluid content of the
circulation system. Its activity is decreased by the presence of more salt and water to fill the fluid capacity of the
vascular bed. In the kidneys, it senses the fluid flow and the filtration pressure for its urine-making system. If the
filtration pressure is not adequate for urine filtration and secretion, the RA sy stem

massaging should use her free hand to push the man's genitals
slightly to the side. Thighs: Grasp the front muscles of the thigh with the fingers and
thumbs of both hands, and knead. Grasp up and down between
the groin and the knee. Then press moderately with the thumb on
points about an inch apart, down a line. Move to a line about 1 1h
inches to the side. Finally, stroke lightly on the inside of the thighs
with the finger pads. By then the partner being massaged should
spread his or her thighs wide apart and bend the knees, to facili
tate the next massage. Perineum: Press the perin eum love point, hui-yirz, rhythmically, and
then n1assage the entire perineum, from the edge of the anus to
the edge of the vulva or the botton1 of the scrotum. If this is done
with finesse, the sexual life-force of the massaged partner will
flare up, so that the partners can go directly to coitus, or to more
intense love games such as Playing the Flute or Jade Fountain. THREE fOUN TAINS
The triple game of Three Fountains is based on the Art of the
Three Peaks, which enables a man to obtain sexual nutrients from
the three peaks of a woman's body: the Red Lotus Peak (tongue),
the Twin Lotus Peaks (breasts), and the Purple Agaric Peak (cli
toris). On each peak is a fountain: the Heav enly Fountain, the
Twin Fountains, and the Jade Fountain, respectively. The triple
gan1e may be played separately, or in sequenc e during love-play. It
is described here as three individual gan1es:
H£'al'l'tliy Formtaiu: This love garne, which can be played betw een
partner s dur ing dl·ep kissing, involves stirnulating secretion of
the partner's saliva, and drinking it as an elixi r. While kissing, use
your tongue to caress you r partner's tongue. Then use the tip of
the ton gue to sweep ove r and titil late the roof of your partner's
rnouth next to the n1olars on both sides, wher e ducts leading frotn
saliva glands arc located, and to sweep the floor of your partn er's
n1outh along the inside of the teeth and especially next to the tongue's root, where numerous ducts lead from saliva glands in
the jaw. The tongue stimulation will produce a rich flow of saliva
in the Heavenly Fountain of both partners. Ancient sexologists
consider ed saliva a sexual elixir; modern scientists say it contains
a sex hormone and substances called semio-chemicals whose taste
is craved by the opposite sex. Drink it from the source. Twin Fountains: Kissing the female breast is universally done, and
a man can give his partner great pleasure by pretending to nurse at
her breasts, as if he were a baby. Suck the nipples lightly and
rhythmically, occasionally tickling them with the tip of the tongue. Use a hand to "milk" the breast while sucking. Unless your part
ner is a nursing mother, the milk here is spiritual. And even a dry
run is fun. Jade Fountain : Drinking directly from the jade fountain repre
sented a serious quest for life-nutrients to sexual alchemists. As a
modern love game, it is a most delightful experienc e for women. This is not the run-of-the-mill oral-genital play of kissing the
vulva; it involves the more complex eliciting of jade essence from
the fountain. The experience of the man in this game has been
compared to eating a freshly split pomegranate, or "peach of im
mortality"; the experience of the woman is indescribable. The game requires first of all complete cleanliness. The woman
lies on her back with her knees bent, her thighs spread wide, her
feet on the edge of the bed; she also may slump in an armchair,
with her knees bent on the armrests. The man kneels down, fac
ing her. (Alternatively, the par tners may both lie in bed on their
sides, or one on top of the other, in reverse directions. These two
positions arc good for this game alone or, when combined with
Playing the Flute, in the favorite French game of soixante-neuf, or
()�whose very name is a visual representation of mutal oral
genital play. ) The man kisses the woman's mons veneris, then opens the
outer lips of her vulva with his fingers, and kisses the inner lips. He should usc his tongue to caress the inner lips, which should
already be blood- engorged. If you consider the vulva as the sides
of a boat, the urethra, the vaginal orifice, and the four vestibular
glands arc on the bottom of this boat. Sweep the tip of the tongue
up and down the boat bottom. Thrust the tongue into thl· vagina Spring Butterfly and Peacock Tease. I I AN CIENT SECR ETS FOR MODERN LOVERS

ally goes to the clitoral area. Kiss the little button with your lips. Suck it very gently, and tickle its tip with your tongue like a but
terfly. Use the rough surface of the tongue to lick upward from
the base of the clitoris shaft. Alternate the caresses between the
clitoris and the vulva, concen trating on maneuvers that elicit your
partner's n1ost enthusiastic responses. This game will inevitably cause the jade fountain to overflow
with jade essence from the vestibular glands and the grotto wall. It
may produce some surprising sound effects as \veil. PLAYING THE FLUTE

touches the woman's throat. it will nonnally-and unpleas

deepening approach. a won1an can accommodate the intruder
easily, if that is what she prefers. Flute-playing, especially the deep-throat variety, can bring a
man to ejaculate in his partner's mouth. Some women avidly
swallow the elixir, which scientists say is clean and harmless and
which the ancients believed beneficial. Other women, however,
do not care for this. If her partner does ejaculate, a woman can
keep the fluid in her mouth and then spit it out. Or better yet, she
can arrange with him beforehand to signal when he senses the
brink is near. These bedroom games for grown-ups can be played with many
variations, according to the desires of the individuals involved. The pace may range from the leisurely to the energetic, the adap
tations from the traditional to the bizarre. Whatever the erotic
fancy of the lovers, they should avoid any circumstances that
might cause mental, physical, or emotional harm to each other. Sprin. \. Buttr�fly and Peacock Tease 16

Diary	of	progressPrologue

This	book	is	for	any	person	who	wishes	to	have	clearer	functioning	of	his	or
her	mind	and	not	to	be	bogged	down	with	useless	thinking. Within	three
weeks	the	result	will	be	more	control	over	thoughts,	better	concentration,
more	energy,	more	joy,	happiness	and	appreciation	for	life. This	is	a	simple
and	straightforward	self-help	book	approached	from	two	different	and	yet
related	perspectives. The	first	is	about	correcting	breathing	volume	using	a	physician	developed
programmed	known	as	the	Buteyko	Breathing	Method. Chronic	over
breathing	is	a	habit	present	with	any	person	who	experiences	stress,	anxiety,
panic	attacks	and	depression. It	causes	both	a	constriction	of	blood	vessels
and	reduced	delivery	of	oxygen	to	tissues	and	organs,	most	notably	the	brain. The	Buteyko	Method	is	a	simple	approach	that	significantly	improves
oxygenation	of	the	brain,	resulting	in	far	less	brain	cell	excitability. The	second	aspect	deals	with	recognizing	the	activity	of	the	mind,	the	nature
of	thought	and	how	to	step	out	of	thought. This	too	is	essential	to
understanding	your	mind	and	taking	control. The	mind	is	regarded	as	the	most	important	capability	of	the	human	species. Yet,	most	people	have	little	control	over	it	as	it	races	from	thought	to	thought. Mind	activity,	stress,	depression	and	anxiety	are	nothing	more	than	the
absence	of	control. How	much	control	do	you	have	over	your	mind. For	how
long	can	you	choose	to	stop	thinking. A	quiet	mind	is	one	that	you	have	control	over. Quite	simply,	you	can	choose
to	think	or	not	to	think. You	don’t	get	lost	in	trains	of	useless	thinking. Most
of	the	time,	you	know	what	is	taking	place. Without	control	over	our	minds,
we	have	nothing. It	is	the	one	part	of	us	that	determines	our	quality	of	life	on
earth,	yet	it	receives	little	attention	from	our	educational,	religious	and
medical	institutions. How	insane	is	that. If	only	you	had	a	chance	to	look	inside	people’s	minds,	you	would	see	the
same	turmoil	that	goes	on	in	your	own	head. Hidden	behind	the	nice	white
smile	is	fear	of	the	future	and	regrets	from	the	past. A	racing	and	repetitive
mind	is	just	below	the	surface. It	might	not	have	reached	the	depths	that
someone	in	depression	has	reached,	but	at	the	same	time,	you	will	see
common	traits. In	fact,	all	of	us	are	just	a	few	stressful	events	away	frommental	problems. Cumulative	stressful	events	take	their	toll	on	everybody
unless,	of	course,	we	have	some	understanding	of	thought	processes	and	can
better	oxygenate	our	brain. In	our	sophisticated	Western	world	with	its	emphasis	on	intelligence	and	the
stigma	on	mental	problems,	normal	healthy	people	who	go	through	periods	of
being	down	or	depressed	have	few	outlets	through	which	to	seek	help. Addressing	this	deficit	early	on	is	the	key	to	reversing	it. My	interest	in	this	area	stems	from	having	both	asthma	and	a	racing	mind	for
many	years. By	using	the	Buteyko	Method	to	reverse	my	asthma	and	by

	What	determines	your	happiness. “Thinking	is	the	unhealthy
thinking	in	the	word,	and	people
die	of	it	just	as	they	die	of
any	other	disease
Oscar	WildeP
sychologists	estimate	that	we	have	sixty	thousand	thoughts	each	day. Moreover,	95%	of	these	thoughts	are	repetitive	and	useless. Not	knowing	the
content	of	our	own	mind,	we	are	literally	at	its	mercy	and	unconsciously
follow	its	instruction	to	the	letter. The	habit	of	excessive	thought	and,	more	importantly,	lack	of	awareness	are
the	results	of	the	inherited	human	mind. Its	individual	content	is	created	from
our	past	experiences	and	from	influences	from	societal,	educational	and	social
environments,	and	is	kept	alive	through	repetition. In	the	Western	world,	thinking	is	viewed	as	good	and	not	thinking	is	viewed
as	a	reflection	of	laziness	or	dullness. We	often	hear	about	the	“brilliant
thinkers”	who	make	profound	discoveries	or	realizations. Truth	be	told,
eureka	moments	are	made	not	during	thought	but	during	a	cessation	of
thought. Our	educational	system	teaches	us	how	to	think. Through	school	and
university,	your	mind	is	developed	and	molded	into	a	superb	analytical	tool. Thinking	is	seen	as	the	solution	to	any	of	life	situations. If	we	have	a	problem,
we	believe	that	the	more	we	think	about	it	the	greater	the	chances	of	it	being
solved. As	a	child,	we	did	not	think. Thinking	is	a	learned	habit	developed
over	time. If	you	feel	that	it	is	good	to	think	a	lot,	take	a	look	at	the	stress	of	people	in


reater. If	an	increasing
response	is	not	observed	for	a	suspect	chemical	carcinogen,	serious	doubt
arises	whether	it	really	is	carcinogenic. To	investigate	this	dose-response	question,	ten	groups	of	rats	were
administered	increasing	doses	of	aflatoxin,	then	fed	either	regular	levels
(20%)	or	low	levels	(5-10%)	of	protein	during	the	promotion	period	(
Chart
3.7
34
). In	the	animals	fed	the	20%	level	of	protein,	foci	increased	in	number	and
size,	as	expected,	as	the	aflatoxin	dose	was	increased. The	dose-response
relationship	was	strong	and	clear. However,	in	the	animals	fed	5%	protein,
the
dose-response	curve	completely	disappeared. There	was	no	foci	response,
even	when	animals	were	given	the	maximum	tolerated	aflatoxin	dose. This
was	yet	another	result	demonstrating	that	a	low-protein	diet	could	override	the
cancer-causing	effect	of	a	very	powerful	carcinogen,	aflatoxin. CHART	3.7:	AFLATOXIN	DOSE—FOCI	RESPONSE
Is	it	possible	that	chemical	carcinogens,	in	general,	do	not	cause	cancer
unless	the	nutritional	conditions	are	“right”? Is	it	possible	that,	for	much	of
our	lives,	we	are	being	exposed	to	small	amounts	of	cancer-causing
chemicals,	but	cancer	does	not	occur	unless	we	consume	foods	that	promoteand	nurture	tumor	development? Can	we	control	cancer	through	nutrition?NOT	ALL	PROTEINS	ARE	ALIKE
If	you	have	followed	the	story	so	far,	you	have	seen	how	provocative	these
findings	are. Controlling	cancer	through	nutrition	was,	and	still	is,	a	radical
idea. But	as	if	this	weren’t	enough,	one	more	issue	would	yield	explosive
information:	did	it	make	any	difference	what	type	of	protein	was	used	in	these
experiments? For	all	of	these	experiments,	we	were	using	casein,	which
makes	up	87%	of	cow’s	milk	protein. So	the	next	logical	question	was
whether	plant	protein,	tested	in	the	same	way,	has	the	same	effect	on	cancer
promotion	as	casein. The	answer	is	an	astonishing	“NO.”
In	these
experiments,	plant	protein	did	not	promote	cancer	growth,	even	at	the	higher
levels	of	intake. An	undergraduate	pre-medical	student	doing	an	honors
degree	with	me,	David	Schulsinger,	did	the	study	(
Chart	3.8
42
). Gluten,	the
protein	of	wheat,	did	not	produce	the	same	result	as	casein,	even	when	fed	at
the	same	20%	level. CHART	3.8:	PROTEIN	TYPE	AND	FOCI	RESPONSE
We	also	examined	whether	soy	protein	had	the	same	effect	as	casein	on
foci	development. Rats	fed	20%	soy	protein	diets	did	not	form	early	foci,	just
like	the	20%	wheat	protein	diets. Suddenly	protein,	milk	protein	in	this	case,
wasn’t	looking	so	good. We	had	discovered	that	low	protein	intake	reduces
cancer	initiation	and	works	in	multiple	synchronous	ways. As	if	that	weren’t
enough,	we	were	finding	that	high	protein	intake,	in	excess	of	the	amount
needed	for	growth,	promotes	cancer	after	initiation. Like	flipping	a	light
switch	on	and	off,	we	could	control	cancer	promotion	merely	by	changing
levels	of	protein,	regardless	of	initial	carcinogen	exposure. But	the	cancer-
promoting	factor	in	this	case	was	cow’s	milk	protein. It	was	difficult	enough
for	my	colleagues	to	accept	the	idea	that	protein	might	help	cancer	grow,	but
cow’s	milk	protein? Was	I	crazy?ADDITIONAL	QUESTIONS
For	those	readers	who	want	to	know	somewhat	more,	I’ve	included	a	few
questions	in
Appendix	A
.THE	GRAND	FINALE
Thus	far	we	had	relied	on	experiments	where	we	measured	only	the	early
indicators	of	tumor	development,	the	early	cancer-like	foci. Now,	it	was	time
to	do	the	big	study,	the	one	where	we	would	measure	complete	tumor
formation. We	organized	a	very	large	study	of	several	hundred	rats	and
examined	tumor	formation	over	their	lifetimes	using	several	different
approaches. 36,	43
The	effects	of	protein	feeding	on	tumor	development	were	nothing	less
than	spectacular. Rats	generally	live	for	about	two	years,	thus	the	study	was
100	weeks	in	length. All	animals	that	were	administered	aflatoxin	and	fed	the
regular	20%	levels	of	casein	either	were	dead	or	near	death	from	liver	tumors
at	100	weeks. 36,	43
	All	animals	administered	the	same	level	of	aflatoxin	but
fed	the	low	5%	protein	diet	were	alive,	active	and	thrifty,	with	sleek	hair	coats
at	100	weeks. This	was	a	virtual	100	to	0	score,	something	almost	never	seen
in	research	and	almost	identical	to	the	original	research	in	India. 16
In	this	same	experiment,
36
	we	switched	the	diets	of	some	rats	at	either
forty	or	sixty	weeks,	to	again	investigate	the	reversibility	of	cancer
promotion. Animals	switched	from	a	high-protein	to	a	low-protein	diet	had
significantly	less	tumor	growth	(35%-40%	less!) than	animals	fed	a	high-
protein	diet. Animals	switched	from	a	low-protein	diet	to	a	high-protein
diet
halfway	through	their	lifetime	started	growing	tumors	again. These	findings
on	full-blown	tumors	confirmed	our	earlier	findings	using	foci. Namely,
nutritional	manipulation	can	turn	cancer	“on”	and	“off.”
CHART	3.9A:	TUMOR	DEVELOPMENT	AT	100	WEEKS
	CHART	3.9B:	EARLY	FOCI,	“LIFETIME”
We	also	measured	early	foci	in	these	“lifetime”	studies	to	see	if	their
response	to	dietary	protein	was	similar	to	that	for	tumor	response. The
correspondence	between	foci	growth	and	tumor	growth	could	not	have	been
greater	(
Chart	3.9a
). 36,	43
How	much	more	did	we	need	to	find	out? I	would	never	have	dreamed
that	our	results	up	to	this	point	would	be	so	incredibly	consistent,	biologically
plausible	and	statistically	significant. We	had	fully	confirmed	the	original
work	from	India	and	had	done	it	in	exceptional	depth. Let	there	be	no	doubt:	cow’s	milk	protein	is	an	exceptionally	potent	cancer
promoter	in	rats	dosed	with	aflatoxin. The	fact	that	this	promotion	effect
occurs	at	dietary	protein	levels	(10-20%)	commonly	used	both	in	rodents	and
humans	makes	it	especially	tantalizing—and	provocative.OTHER	CANCERS,	OTHER	CARCINOGENS
Okay,	so	here’s	the	central	question:	how	does	this	research	apply	to	human
health	and	human	liver	cancer	in	particular? One	way	to	investigate	this
question	is	to	research	other	species,	other	carcinogens	and	other	organs. If
casein’s	effect	on	cancer	is	consistent	across	these	categories,	it	becomes
more	likely	that	humans	better	take	note. So	our	research	became	broader	in


	low	breast	cancer	rates. This	is	a	very	important	discrepancy,	and	is	illustrated	by	the	correlation
between	the	consumption	of	dietary	animal	protein	and	dietary	fat	for	a	group
of	countries	(
Chart	14. 6
). 8,	9,	18,	20–22
	The	most	reliable	comparison	was
published	in	1975
20
;	it	showed	a	highly	convincing	correlation	of	more	than
90%. This	means	that	as	fat	intake	goes	up	in	various	countries,	animal
protein	intake	increases	in	an	almost	perfectly	parallel	manner. Likewise,	in
the	China	Study,	the	intakes	of	fat	and	animal	protein	also	show	a	similar
correlation	of	84%. 8,	21
In	the	Nurses’	Health	Study,	this	is	not	the	case. The	correlation	between
animal	protein	and	total	fat	intakes	is	only	about	16%. 9
	In	the	Women’s
Health	Trial,	also	including	American	women,	it	is	even	worse,	at	−17%
18,	21,
22
;	as	fat	goes	down,	animal	protein	goes	up. This	practice	is	typical	of
American	women	who	have	been	led	to	believe	that,	by	decreasing	their	fat
intake,	they	are	changing	to	a	healthier	diet. A	nurse	consuming	a	“low-fat”
diet	in	the	Harvard	study,	like	American	women	everywhere,	is	likely	to
continue	eating	large	amounts	of	animal	protein,	as	shown	in	meal	#1	(
Chart
14. 4
). Sadly,	this	evidence	on	the	effects	of	animal-based	food	on	cancer	and
other	diseases	of	affluence	has	been	ignored,	even	maligned,	as	we	continue
to	focus	on	fat	and	other	nutrients	in	isolation. Because	of	this,	the	Nurses’
Health	Study	and	virtually	every	other	human	epidemiological	study
published	to	date	have	been	seriously	shortchanged	in	their	investigations	of
diet	and	disease	associations. Virtually	all	the	subjects	under	study	consume
the	very	diet	that	causes	diseases	of	affluence. If	one	kind	of	animal-based
food	is	substituted	for	another,	then	the	adverse	health	effects	of	both	foods,
when	compared	to	plant-based	food,	are	easily	missed. To	make	matters
worse,	these	studies	often	focus	on	the	consumption	of	just	one	nutrient,	such
as	fat. Because	of	these	very	serious	flaws,	these	studies	have	been	a	virtual
disaster	for	discovering	the	really	significant	effects	of	diet	on	these	diseases. CHART	14. 6:	PERCENT	CORRELATIONS	OF	TOTAL	FAT	AND
ANIMAL	PROTEIN	CONSUMPTION
THE	$100(+)	MILLION	RESULTS
So	now	that	you	know	how	I	interpret	the	Nurses’	Health	Study	and	its	flaws,
we	should	take	a	look	at	its	conclusions. After	more	than	$100	million	and
decades	of	work,	there	is	no	shortage	of	results. So	what	are	they. The	logical
place	to	start	is,	of	course,	the	question	of	whether	fat	intake	really	is	linked	to
breast	cancer. Here	are	some	of	the	findings,	cited	verbatim:
“these	data	provide	evidence	against	both	an	adverse	influence	of	fat
intake	and	a	protective	effect	of	fiber	consumption	by	middle-aged
women	on	breast	cancer	incidence	over	eight	years”
23
Translation:	The
	Nurses’
Health	Study	did	not	detect	a	relationship
between	dietary	fat	and	fiber	and	breast	cancer	risk. “we	found	no	evidence	that	lower	intake	of	total	fat	or	specific	major
types	of	fat	was	associated	with	decreased	risk	of	breast	cancer”
10
Translation:	The	Nurses’	Health	Study	did	not	detect	a	relationship
between	reducing	fat,	whether	it	be	total	fat	or	certain	kinds	of	fat,	and
breast	cancer	risk. “existing	data,	however,	provide	little	support	for	the	hypothesis	that
reduction	in	dietary	fat	composition,	even	to	20%	of	energy	during
adulthood,	will	lead	to	a	substantial	reduction	in	breast	cancer	in	Western
cultures”
24
Translation:	The	Nurses’	Health	Study	did	not	detect	a	breast	cancer
association	with	fat	even	when	women	reduced	their	fat	consumption	all
the	way	down	to	20%	of	calories. “relative	risks	for	…	monounsaturated	and	polyunsaturated	fat	…	were
close	to	unity”
25
Translation:	The
	Nurses’
Health	Study	did	not	detect	a	relationship
between	these	“good”	fats	and	breast	cancer	risk. “we	found	no	significant	associations	between	intake	of	meat	and	dairy
products	and	risk	of	breast	cancer”
26
Translation:	The	Nurses’	Heath	Study	did	not	detect	a	relationship
between	meat	and	dairy	consumption	and	breast	cancer	risk. “our	findings	do	not	support	a	link	between	physical	activity,	in	late
adolescence	or	in	the	recent	past,	and	breast	cancer	risk	among	young
adult	women”
27
Translation:	The	Nurses’	Health	Study	did	not	detect	a	relationship
between	exercise	and	breast	cancer	risk. “these	data	are	suggestive	of	only	a	weak	positive	association	with
substitution	of	saturated	fat	for	carbohydrate	consumption;	none	of	the
other	types	of	fat	examined	was	significantly	associated	with	breast
cancer	risk	relative	to	an	equivalent	reduction	in	carbohydrate
consumption”
28
Translation:	The	Nurses’	Health	Study	detected	little	or	no	effect	on
breast	cancer	when	women	substituted	fat	for	carbohydrates. “selenium	intake	later	in	life	is	not	likely	to	be	an	important	factor	in	the
etiology	of	breast	cancer”
29
Translation:	The	Nurses’	Health	Study	did	not	detect	a	protective	effect
of	selenium	on	breast	cancer	risk. “these	results	suggest	that	fruit	and	vegetable	consumption	during
adulthood	is	not	significantly	associated	with	reduced	breast	cancer
risk”
30
Translation:	The	Nurses’	Health	Study	did	not	detect	a	relationship
between	fruits	and	vegetables	and	breast	cancer	risk. So	there	it	is,	readers. Breast	cancer	risk	does	not	rise	with	increased
intakes	of	fat,	meat,	dairy	or	saturated	fat. Breast	cancer	is	not	prevented
by
increased	intakes	of	fruits	and	vegetables,	or	reduced	by	exercise	(either
during	the	teenage	years	or	during	adulthood),	dietary	fiber,	monounsaturated
fats	or	polyunsaturated	fats. Also,	the	mineral	selenium,	long	considered	to	be
protective	of	certain	cancers,	has	no	effect	on	breast	cancer. In	other	words,
we	might	as	well	conclude	that	diet	is	completely	unrelated	to	breast	cancer. I	can	understand	the	frustration	of	Professor	Meir	Stampfer,	one	of	the
leading	researchers	in	this	group,	when	he	was	quoted	as	saying,	“This	has
been	our	greatest	failure	and	disappointment—that	we	have	not	learned	more
about	what	people	can	do	to	lower	their	risk. ”
6
	He	was	making	his	comment
in	response	to	an	opinion	that	“the	single	biggest	challenge	for	the	future	[is]
sorting	out	the	mess	of	contradictory	findings	and	lack	of	information	onbreast	cancer. ”
6
	I	applaud	Professor	Stampfer	for	his	candor,	but	it’s
unfortunate	that	so	much	money	has	been	spent	to	learn	so	little. Perhaps	the
most	reward

There are many eliminative regimes, and they all accomplish about the same results, through the fact that the body is g iven less
food, simpler foods and simpler combinations, more watery foods - so a greater transition can take place in the cells of the body. This Eleven -Day Elimination Regime can be used by most persons in health, and for those who want to overcome the av erage
physical disorder. Those who are weak or feeble, however, should not follow the plan the full eleven days without supervision. Those with tuberculosis should have both supervision and assistance. Variation, as to the length of time and the manner in  which the foods are to be taken, may be adjusted to suit the history of the
patient. Examples: fruits, vegetables and broths can be taken for 1 day; or 1 day of just fruit; or 1, 2 or 3 days of vegetab les only. Vegetables, taken in the form of broths, gen tly steamed vegetables and salads are a safer routine for the average beg inner than
citrus fruits. A hot bath should be taken every night during this diet regime. Enemas may be used the first four or five days, then
discontinued for natural movements. Not hing but water and fruit juices, preferably grapefruit, should be taken into the body for the
first three days. Drink one glass of juice every four hours of the day. The next two days fruit only - such as grapes, melons,
tomatoes, pears, peaches, plums; dr ied fruit such as prunes, figs, peaches, soaked overnight or baked apple. In the six following days, breakfast should consist of citrus fruits. Between breakfast and lunch, any other kind of fruit. F or lunch,
have a salad of three to six vegetables and tw o cups of vital broth. When hungry between meals, fruit or fruit juices may be taken. Dinner should consist of two or three steamed vegetables and two cups of vital broth. Fruit juices can be taken before retiri ng, if
wanted. Rigid adherence to the diet is  an absolute necessity for anyone attempting to regain good health. Eat plenty, but not to
satiety. VITAL BROTH RECIPE:
2 C. carrot tops; 1 clove garlic; 2 C. potato peelings (1/2" thick); 2 C. beet tops; 2 C. celery tops; 3 C. celery stalk; 2 q t distille d
water; 1/2 tsp Savita or Vegex. Add a carrot and onion to flavor, if desired (grate or chop). Ingredients should be finely chopped. Bring to a boil, slowly: simmer approximately 20 minutes. Use only the broth after straining. When finished with the above  regime return to Dr. Jensen’s Daily Food Regime. The above elimination regime should be followed whenever a person changes from the old ways of living and begins to live righ t.
As a rule, it is wise to follow the elimination regime in any and all of the f ollowing cases: as a general cleanser two or three times a
year; at the time of crisis; when reduction of weight is desired; when hips get too large; when joints get stiff; when the sk in breaks
out; when constipation is present. THE MASTER CHLOROPHYLL ELI MINATION DIET
This is a diet of just plain water, preferably using distil led water, and using one teaspoon of a liquid chlorophyll to one glass of
water every three hours. You can also use vegetable juice, but this is a diet where we are adding iron, gath ering all the oxygen we
can while we are breathing, and burning up the toxic waste by using the iron as found in liquid chlorophyll. Liquid chlorophy ll is
usually made as an extract from alfalfa leaves, which is one of the highest things we have in potassi um iron, which will attract the
oxygen to the body. Doing this for three or four days is a wonderful pre -elimination diet to fasting or to any other type of dieting. I
consider this to be the master -cleansing diet for all catarrhal conditions. In the prese nce of greens, we find that catarrh is
eliminated best from the body. WATERMELON FLUSH
There are times during the watermelon season that we can use watermelon as a good elimination diet. Going on watermelon for
three, four or five days is a wonderful kidn ey eliminant, a diuretic. We find that it helps to take out a lot of the debris in the colon
and the extra water picks up toxic materials and carries them off. ONE DAY A WEEK FAST
On a one day a week fast regime you can be on a juice diet or a fruit on th e one day – and rest. Many people like to go on a fast
one day a week. This is perfectly all right if you will rest that day - but you MUST rest! You cannot expect to get the good yielded
by a rest without food by using all of your energy and leaving yours elf depleted by working on a day that you do not eat. FASTING
Fasting is the quickest way of bringing about elimination in the body and the fastest way of getting toxic materials out of t he body. This is done through complete rest - physical, psychologica l and psychic. As we let the body rest, it develops tone and vitality,
more than is possible by any other procedure. I believe rest is a cure because it gives us the vitality we need to throw off toxic
material and to eliminate the debris that has been acc umulated over a period of years. We can literally withdraw toxic
accumulations through a fast. We find that there are many ways to fast. I think the better way is to take a half glass of wat er every
hour and a half throughout the day. If it is a hot day, y ou may need more water and it is all right since you perspire more. Be sure
not to take big gulps of water at one time. The water should be cool but not ice cold. Take daily enemas the first few days, then
reduce this to every other day or every third or f ourth day, depending upon the length of time you fast. While you are fasting you
should rest as much as possible. If you hike or walk, do it on level ground. Do nothing to the point of tiring. This is impor tant in
fasting. JUICE FASTING
I don’t think it’s  any particular juice that will cure anything - but I believe the rest you give your body allows it the opportunity to
reverse the disease and recover your health. It’s the rest from food and the simple diet that does the trick. The lack of too  many
food m ixtures and less demand made on our digestive and eliminative systems help us to overcome disease. The carrot juice diet
involves taking one glass of carrot juice every three hours or more if you like. You can do this for ten days, twenty days or  even
longer. I had one man on carrot juice for a whole year. That is a long time! This particular man lived in Monrovia and had an
extreme condition of the bowel but through the carrot juice diet, he got rid of it. Dr. Kirschner, who wrote the book on juic e
therapy, came here to talk over this man’s case because he found out how I had kept him on juices for so long a time. The man
passed off mucus and catarrh continually from that bowel. It was almost unbelievable what was eliminated - being even black at
times. This was simply accumulated toxic material that was necessary for him to get rid of. BREAKING A FAST
In breaking a fast, if you go five, six or seven days on water, then go one or two days on juices, either vegetable or fruit. Take one
8-oz glass ever y three hours. You have eliminated the enemas one or two days I beforehand and you are starting in to work for
good bowel movements now. I After the two days of juices, start the first thing in the morning on the third day with sliced o r
peeled oranges. Th e bulk of an orange is probably one of the finest things for the bowel. If you do not want to use oranges, you can
use a finely shredded carrot that has been steamed or wilted for one minute. This acts to help clean out the toxic materials. You can
do this  for breakfast and lunch. Then for the evening meal, you can start out with a small salad. Have a glass of juice at 10:00 am and again at 3:00 pm. The next day you can have fresh fruit for breakfast along with juice. Have juice at 10:00 am. For lunch, you can have a small salad and juice. Have another glass of juice at 3:00 pm. At the evening meal you can have a salad, one cooked

These are the four stories I promised you tonight. You must apply them
every day of your life. Even though the chair on which you are now seated
seems hard and does not lend itself to meditation you can in imagination
make it the most comfortable chair in the world. Let me now define the technique as I want you to employ it. I trust each
one of you came here tonight with a clear picture of your desire. Do not
say it is impossible. Do you want it. You do not have to use your moral
code to realize it. It is altogether outside the reach of your code. Consciousness is the one and only reality. Therefore, we must form the
object of our desire out of our own consciousness. People have a habit of slighting the importance of simple things, and the
suggestion to create a state akin to sleep in order to aid you in assuming
that which reason and your senses deny is one of the simple things you
might slight. However, this simple formula for changing the future, which was discov -
ered by the ancient teachers and given to us in the Bible, can be proved
by all. The first step in changing the future is Desire, that is, define your objec -
tive – know definitely what you want. Second: construct an event which you believe would encounter FOLLOW -
ING the fulfillment of your desire – an event which implies fulfillment of
your desire – something which will have the action of self predominant. The third step is to immobilize the physical body and induce a state akin
to sleep. Then mentally feel yourself right into the proposed action, imag -
ine all the while that you are actually performing the action HERE AND
NOW. You must participate in the imaginary action, not merely stand back
and look on, but FEEL that you are actually performing the action, so that
the imaginary sensation is real to you. It is important always to remember that the proposed action must be one
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenwhich FOLLOWS the fulfillment of your desire, one which implies fulfill -
ment. For example, suppose you desired a promotion in office. Then being
congratulated would be an event you would encounter following the fulfill -
ment of your desire. Having selected this action as the one you will experience in imagination
to imply promotion in the office, immobilize your physical body and induce
a state bordering on sleep, a drowsy state, but one in which you are still
able to control the direction of your thoughts, a state in which you are at -
tentive without effort. Then visualize a friend standing before you. Put
your imaginary hand into his. Feel it to be solid and real, and carry on an
imaginary conversation with him in harmony with the FEELING OF HAV -
ING BEEN PROMOTED. You do not visualize yourself at a distance in point of space and at a dis -
tance in point of time being congratulated on your good fortune. Instead,
you MAKE elsewhere HERE and the future NOW. The difference between
FEELING yourself in action, here and now, and visualizing yourself in ac -
tion, as though you were on a motion-picture screen, is the difference be -
tween success and failure. The difference will be appreciated if you will not visualize yourself climbing
a ladder. Then, with eyelids closed imagine that a ladder is right in front
of you and FEEL YOURSELF ACTUALLY CLIMBING IT. Experience has taught me to restrict the imaginary action which implies
fulfillment of the desire, to condense the idea into a single act, and to re-
enact it over and over again until it has the feeling of reality. Otherwise,
your attention will wander off along an associational track, and hosts of
associated images will be presented to your attention, and in a few sec -
onds they will lead you hundreds of miles away from your objective in
point of space and years away in point of time. If you decide to climb a particular flight of stairs, because that is the likely
event to follow the fulfillment of your desire, then you must restrict the
action to climbing that particular flight of stairs. Should your attention
wander off, bring it back to climbing that flight of stairs, and keep on do -
ing so until the imaginary action has all the solidity and distinctness of re -
ality. The idea must be maintained in the mind without any sensible effort on
your part. You must, with the minimum of effort permeate the mind with
the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Drowsiness facilitates change because it favors attention without effort,
but it must not be pushed to the state of sleep in which you no longer are
able to control the movements of your attention. But a moderate degree
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenof drowsiness in which you are still able to direct your thoughts. A most effective way to embody a desire is to assume the feeling of the
wish fulfilled and then, in a relaxed and drowsy state, repeat over and
over again like a lullaby, any short phrase which implies fulfillment of your
desire, such as, “Thank you, thank you, thank you” as though you ad -
dressed a higher power for having given you that which you desired. I know that when this course comes to an end on Friday many of you
here will be able to tell me you have realized your objectives. Two weeks
ago I left the platform and went to the door to shake hands with the audi -
ence. I am safe in saying at least 35 out of a class of 135 told me that
which they desired when they joined this class they had already realized. This happened only two weeks ago. I did nothing to bring it to pass save
to give them this technique of prayer. You need do nothing to bring it to
pass – save apply this technique of prayer. With your eyes closed and your physical body immobilized induce a state
akin to sleep and enter into the action as though you were an actor play -
ing the part. Experience in imagination what you would experience in the
flesh were you now in possession of your objective. Make elsewhere HERE
and then NOW. And the greater you, using a larger focus will use all
means, and call them good, which tend toward the production of that
which you have assumed. You are relieved of all responsibility to make it so, because as you imagine
and feel that it is so your dimensionally larger self determines the means. Do not think for one moment that someone is going to be injured in order
to make it so, or that someone is going to be disappointed. It is still not
your concern. I must drive this home. Too many of us, schooled in differ -
ent walks of life, are so concerned about the other. You ask, “If I get what I want will it not imply injury to another. ” There
are ways you know not of, so do not be concerned. Close your eyes now because we are going to be in a long silence. Soon
you will become so lost in contemplation, feeling that you are what you
want to be, that you will be totally unconscious of the fact that you are in
this room with others. You will receive a shock when you open your eyes and discover we are
here. It should be a shock when you open your eyes and discover that
you are not actually that which, a moment before, you felt you were, or
felt you possessed. Now we will go into the deep. Silence period. More Free Books Law of Attraction Haven*****

worried or in fear, then you're bringing more of that into your

them. Be aware that as you are feeling good, you are powerfully
attracting more good things to you. Let's go one step further. What if your feelings are actually commu-
nication from the Universe to let you know what you're thinking? JACKCANFIELD
Our feelings are a feedback mechanism to us about whether
we're on track or not, whether we're on course or off course. Remember that your thoughts are the primary cause of everything. So when you think a sustained thought it is immediately sent out
into the Universe. That thought magnetically attaches itself to the
like frequency and then within seconds sends the reading of that
frequency back to you through your feelings. Put another way,
your feelings are communication back to you from the Universe,
telling you what frequency you are currently on. Your feelings are
your frequency feedback mechanism! When you are feeling good feelings, it is communication back from
the Universe saying, "You are thinking good thoughts" Likewise,
when you are feeling bad, you are receiving communication back
from the Universe saying, "You are thinking bad thoughts." So when you are feeling bad it is communication from the Uni-
verse, and in effect it is saying, "Warning! Change thinking now. Negative frequency recording. Change frequency. Counting down
to manifestation. Warning!" 34 The Secret
The next time you are feeling bad or feeling any negative emotion,
listen to the signal you are receiving from the Universe. In that
moment you are blocking your own good from coming to you be-
cause you are on a negative frequency. Change your thoughts and
think about something good, and when the good feelings start
to come you will know it was because You shifted yourself on to
a new frequency, and the Universe has confirmed it with better
feelings. BOB DOYLE
You're getting exactly what you're feeling about, not so much
what you're thinking about. That's why people tend to spiral if they stub their toe getting
out of bed. Their whole day goes like that. They have no clue
that a simple shifting of their emotions can change their entire
day—and life. If you start out having a good day and you're in that particular
happy feeling, as long as you don't allow something to change
your mood, you're going to continue to attract, by the law of
attraction, more situations and people that sustain that happy
feeling. We all have experienced those days or times when one thing after
another goes wrong. The chain reaction began with one thought,
whether you were aware of it or not. The one bad thought attracted
more bad thoughts, the frequency locked in, and eventually some-
thing went wrong. Then as you reacted to that one thing going The Secret Made Simple 35
wrong, you attracted more things going wrong. Reactions just at-
tract more of the same, and the chain reaction must keep occurring
until you move yourself off that frequency by intentionally chang-
ing your thoughts. You can shift your thoughts to what you want receive confirma-
tion through your feelings that you changed your frequency, and
the law of attraction will grab hold of that new frequency and send
it back to you as the new pictures of your life. Now here is where you can harness your feelings and use them to
turbo-charge what you want in your life. You can purposefully use your feelings to transmit an even more
powerful frequency, by adding feeling to what you are wanting. MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
You can begin right now to feel healthy. You can begin to feel
prosperous. You can begin to feet the love that's surrounding
you, even if it's not there. And what will happen is the
universe will correspond to the nature of your song. The
universe will correspond to the nature of that inner feeling
and manifest, because that's the way you feel. So what are you feeling now? Take a few moments to think about
how you feel. If you're not feeling as good as you'd like to, focus
on feeling your feelings inside and purposefully lift them. As you
focus intensely on your feelings, with the intention to lift yourself,
you can powerfully elevate them. One way is to close your eyes 36 The Secret
(shutting out distractions), focus on your feelings inside, and smile
for one minute. LISA NICHOLS
Your thoughts and your feelings create your life. It will
always be that way. Guaranteed! Just like the law of gravity, the law of attraction never slips up. You don't see pigs flying because the law of gravity made a mis-
take and forgot to apply gravity to pigs that day. Likewise, there
are no exclusions to the law of attraction. If something came to
you, you drew it, with prolonged thought. The law of attraction
is precise. MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
It's hard to swallow, but when we can begin to open ourselves
up to that, the ramifications are awesome. It means that
whatever thought has done in your life, it can be undone

who chooses your thoughts and you are the one who feels your
feelings. 'You create your own universe as you go along." The Secret Made Simple

It's really important that you feel good, because this feeling
good is what goes out as a signal into the Universe and starts

pets, for instance. Animals are wonderful, because they put
you in a great emotional state. When you feel love for your
pet, that great state of love will bring goodness into your life. And what a gift that is. "It is the combination of thought and love
which forms the irresistible force of the law of
attraction." There is no greater power in the Universe than the power of love. The feeling of love is the highest frequency you can emit. If you
could wrap every thought in love, if you could love everything and
everyone, your life would be transformed. In fact, some of the great thinkers of the past referred to the law
of attraction as the law of love. And if you think about it, you will
understand why. If you think unkind thoughts about someone else, JAMES RAY

The principle of feeling good applies to your family The Secret Made Simple 39
you will experience those unkind thoughts manifested. You cannot
harm another with your thoughts, you only harm You. If you think
thoughts of love, guess who receives the benefits—you! So if your
predominant state is love, the law of attraction or the law of love
responds with the mightiest force because you are on the highest
frequency possible. The greater the love you feel and emit, the
greater the power you are harnessing. "The principle which gives the thought the
dynamic power to correlate with its object,
and therefore to master every adverse human
experience, is the law of attraction, which is
another name for love. This is an eternal and
fundamental principle inherent in all things, in
every system of philosophy, in every Religion
and in every Science. There is no getting away
from the law of love. It is feeling that imparts
vitality to thought. Feeling is desire and desire is
love. Thought impregnated with love becomes
invincible." MARCI SHIMOFF

 Routes from Anchorage or Fairbanks to Nome and other western
points. Its population consists of several white prospectors and miners who have stayed in the
country following the gold rush. Some of them have married Indian and Eskimo women. Of
twenty-one individuals only one had lived almost exclusively on native foods and she had no dental
caries. Twenty had lived chiefly on imported foods, and of their 527 teeth 175, or 33.2 per cent,
had been attacked by tooth decay. Among the residents of McGrath there is a remarkable family. The father is an American mining
engineer who has spent much of his life in that country. His wife is a charming Eskimo woman of
splendid intelligence and fine personality. She had come originally from the lower Kuskokwim and
was one of the primitive Eskimo stock. While mining interests had provided food supplies for the
family, shipped from the United States, she followed her early training and insisted on catching and
storing salmon in season as an important part of her own dietary. The salmon were dried and
smoked as was the custom of her people. She is the mother of at least twenty children, for she
could give the names of that many. Only eleven were living, however, several having died from
tuberculosis. Notwithstanding her many overloads, not a single tooth had ever been attacked by
tooth decay. A lower anterior tooth had been broken. A picture of this woman is shown in Fig. 9
(upper, left). There has been extensive wear of the teeth, as is characteristic of the teeth of many of
the Eskimos, a matter which we will presently discuss. It is of interest to note the splendid
symmetry of her dental arches. Her children and husband and son-in-law had lived very largely on
modern foods and in these eight individuals with 212 teeth eighty-seven, or 41 per cent, had been
attacked by tooth decay. Her oldest living daughter is twenty-two years of age. She has a
narrowing of the upper arch and extensive tooth decay. Another daughter, sixteen, is a beautiful
girl except for her narrow dental arches. She was reported by our pilot to have become so deeply
interested in the engines of the aircrafts as they stopped at this point for servicing and fuel that she
had become expert in tuning up and conditioning aeroplane motors. She, doubtless, inherited some
of the genius of her father, who is a mining engineer. Twelve of her teeth had been attacked by
dental caries.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

and broad arches and no dental caries (tooth decay). Upper
left, woman has a broken lower tooth. She has had twenty-six
children with no tooth decay. One does not get a conception of the magnificent dental development of the more primitive
Eskimos simply by learning that they have freedom from dental caries. The size and strength of the
mandible, the breadth of the face and the strength of the muscles of mastication all reach a degree
of excellence that is seldom seen in other races. This is typically illustrated in Fig. 9. I was told that
an average adult Eskimo man can carry one hundred pounds in each hand and one hundred
pounds in his teeth with ease for a considerable distance. This illustrates the physical development
of other parts of the body as well as the jaws, and suggests that the exercising of the jaws is not
the sole reason for their very fine teeth, since the superb development of the musculature includes
all parts of the body. It has also been suggested that chewing of tough foods, by building teeth of
exceptionally fine quality, has been an important factor in the establishment of immunity to caries. As will be shown presently, the teeth of these individuals with their excellent physical development
and fine tooth structure develop caries when they depart from their native foods and adopt our
modern foods. Much has been reported in the literature of the excessive wear of the Eskimos' teeth, which in
the case of the women has been ascribed to the chewing of the leather in the process of tanning. It
is of interest that while many of the teeth studied gave evidence of excessive wear involving the
crowns to a depth that in many individuals would have exposed the pulps, there was in no case an
open pulp chamber. They were always filled with secondary dentin. This is important since our
newer knowledge indicates that with the chemical characteristics of their food we might expect that7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 46/250secondary dentin would be readily formed within the pulp chambers by a process similar to that
which occurs in many individuals under a diet reinforced with mineral and activator-providing
foods. One old Eskimo had a scar on his lower lip, which was the result of perforations for
carrying a decoration as practiced by his tribe. I have found primitive tribes in several parts of the
world with this marking. The principal outer garment worn by the Eskimo for the more primitive groups consists of a
parka carrying a hood which is pulled over the head and closed around the neck with a shirr string,
while another shirr string controls the size of the face opening in the hood when it is up. In the
summer this is made of cloth or of skin without the fur. A typical case is shown in Fig. 9. It will
again be noted that the teeth are excessively worn. FIG. 10. These primitive Alaskan mothers rear strong, rugged
babies. The mothers do not suffer from dental caries. Owing to the bleakness of the winds off the Bering Sea, even in the summer many of the women
wear furs. A typical mother and child dressed in their warm clothing are shown in Fig. 10. The
Eskimo women are both artistic and skillful in needle work. They use fur of different colors for
decorating their garments. These women make artistic decorations by carving ivory from walrus
teeth and from the buried tusks of the hairy mammoth that wandered over the Tundra tens of
thousands of years ago. The ear decoration of this Eskimo woman is a typical design. This
mother's teeth are literally "two rows of pearls." It is important to note the width of the arches. One
is continually impressed with the magnificent health of the child life which is illustrated in Fig. 10. In
our various contacts with them we never heard an Eskimo child crying except when hungry, or
frightened by the presence of strangers. The women are characterized by the abundance of
breastfood which almost always develops normally and is maintained without difficulty for a year. The mothers were completely free of dental caries, and I was told that the children of the Eskimos
have no difficulties with the cutting of their teeth.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 47/250FIG. 11. When the primitive Alaskan Eskimos obtain the
white man's foods, dental caries become active. Pyorrhea
also often becomes severe. In many districts dental service
cannot be obtained and suffering is acute and prolonged. The excellence of dentitions among the Eskimos has been a characteristic also of the skulls that
have been excavated in various parts of Alaska. It might be expected that such wonderfully formed teeth would maintain so high an immunity to
dental caries that their proud possessors would never be troubled with tooth decay. This,
unfortunately, is not the case, a fact of great significance in evaluating our modern theories of the
causes of dental caries. When these adult Eskimos exchange their foods for our modern foods,
which we will discuss in Chapter 15, they often have very extensive tooth decay and suffer
severely. This is clearly illustrated in Fig. 11, for these Eskimos' teeth had been seriously wrecked
by tooth decay. They had been living on modern foods and were typical of a large number who
are in contact with the Bering Sea ports. Their plight often becomes tragic since there are no
dentists in these districts. A typical effect of modernization on a growing girl was shown in a case in which the central
incisors and 16 other teeth were attacked by dental caries. Sixty-four per cent of her teeth had
tooth decay. There are no dentists in western Alaska, north or west of Anchorage, which is near the southern
coast, except at Fairbanks which, like Anchorage, is many hundreds of miles from these Eskimos. It would take months for them to make the journey in winter by dog team, and it would be
practically impossible to make it in the summer season by any means of travel except by
aeroplane, which clearly these people could not afford. Their dilemma is, accordingly, most tragic
when they suddenly become victims of diseases which require hospitalization or skilled medical or
dental service. One mining engineer in the interior told me that he had spent two thousand dollars
to have a dentist brought in by aeroplane to render dental service. On my examination of his mouth
I found twenty-nine of his thirty-two teeth had been attacked by dental caries. One important phase of modern degeneration, namely, change in facial and dental arch form and
other physical expressions, is of interest. It is a matter of great significance that the Eskimos who
are living in isolated districts and on native foods


 in time,
do not occupy space and, so far as anyone knows, do not involve
energy transform ations, and yet we have evidence, sketchy to be
sure, that the so-called spiritual side of exist ence, does influence
human behaviour. How this discrepancy between mind and
body achieves this, no one knows. There is one profound difference, however, between natural
and moral laws. Moral laws are not laws operative in the Uni-
93 THE FIELD AS A SIGNPOST
verse-the laws of Nature-but are sheer inventions of the mind
of man. Man, unfortunately, is an egocentric person. He is
primarily concerned with himself, his continued existence and
his sense of well-being as he adj usts to his physical and mental
environmen t. Everything he docs, therefore, tends to be coloured
by his own personal stake in the matter. No one of us has any personal stake in the law of gravitation;
we know it operates and we know we cannot get along without
it, unless we substitute other kinds of forces to counteract it. It is
a fundamental property of things. But there is nothing in any of
the spiritual or moral laws which has the same characteristic. It
behooves us to get on the ball and discover what we can, so that
a spiritual law which is good in New York and Boston and
Washington, is equally good in Hongkong, Bangkok and Tim
buktu. Only when we can find the fundamental properties of the
spiritual or moral law and, for that matter, of the legal laws, can
we hope to find any kind of satisfactory answer to the problem of
mankind. The problem of human behaviour is still the greatest problem
that faces mankind. We have not solved it. As a matter of fact
we are really making no attempt to solve it. To be sure, many
dedicated people are endeavouring to find out the details of how
the nervous system works. in the hope that this will give some
clues as to how we can integrate and co-ordinate our human
attitudes to each other and to the Universe. Up to date, however,
the results have not been particularly fruitfuL
\Vhat we need to do is to apply the methods of science to the
problem of human interrelationships. The methods of science
have been deified in recent years because of the remarkable ad
vances which have resulted from their application to the study
of the physical universe. As we mentioned in the first chapter the method of science
involves first of all a reasonable contact with the background of
the particular subject we are investigating, its natural history. Out of this someone comes along with a creative mind and sees
unsuspected relationships in this background. This gives rise to
a hunch, a theory, an assumption. In physics and chemistry the
logical consequences of this assumption are then put to labora-
94 THE FIEL D AS A SIGNPOS T
tory tests and if, in the laboratory, the results tend to confirm the
assumption, we generally believe that our theory is correct. This,
of course, is not necessarily so because there might be other
assump tions for which this same data will be a valid result. When it comes to applying this method to humans, we are
faced with the very real problem that control of the experimental
set-up of mankind is far from easy. We have not been able to
do it, but some day, someone with a creative mind will make it
possible for us to begin to use and apply the methods of science
to this problem. If we can do this, we probably can arrive at some
significant additions to its solution. In the last analysis, the Universe is a unit, all of its parts are
related to the wholeness of the Universe, and there is necessarily
some interrelationship between the wholeness of the Universe
and the activities of its individual components. From the unified
theory of Einstein-even though it lacked final, complete valida
tion with respect to the law of gravity-it is clear that one of
the characteristics of the Universe are fields which can be
measured by instruments. It does not make any difference
whether you call it an electro-s tatic field, an electro-magnetic
field, or an electro-dyn amic field. The name is always a conse
quence of the methods which were applied to its study. In other
words, there is one unifying characteristic of the Universe which
we have ignored, and that is its field properties. We should see,
therefore, if we can find some significa nt characteris tics of the
field properties of the Universe which can be put to use by man
kind in this incredibly difficult problem of human relationships. There must be generalities in this field theory which can be dis
covered and which can be harnessed by mankind to help him
solve his own problems. The electro-dynamic fields which control tI"e human organism
are signposts to the most promising trail that future explorers
can follow. 95 CHA PTER SIX
Antennae to the Universe

It was logical to deduce from the Field Theory that external
electrical fields would affect the fields of living organisms. For,
just as the overall L-field of the organism embraces and controls its
subsidiary fields, the electrical environment of the earth includes
-and can be expected to influenc e-the fields of the living forms
on this planet. This was something we could not easily check with human
or animal subjects because each organism is not only unique but
also constantly changing, as our experiments had shown. With
the rapidly-fluctuating voltage-variations in humans and animals,
it is extremely difficult to arrive at a steady baseline or norm from
which to measure the influence of external forces, which are
often slow in their cyclical varia tions. It was most important, however, to try to detect the effects
if any-of external forces for three reasons. First, if we could
demonstrate experimen tally a logical deduction from the Field
Theory, this would offer the Theory additional support. Second,
if the electrical environment does affect the living organism, the
more we could find out about those effects the better. Third, if
we could establish that living forms are affected by their electrical
environment, this would show that man is an integral part of
the Universe and subject to the great forces that act across space,
just as the earth itself is. For these reasons we decided to carry out a long-term study of
a living system which would be its own control, with the changes
in internal and external factors to be supplied by Nature. Our
aim was to examine, over a very long period of time, the electrical
properties of the system and their relationship to environmental
96 ANTENNAE TO THE UN IVERSE
phenomena. The latter included, of course, temperature, hum
idity, barometric pressure, sunshine and dark and any other
factors that we might be able to detect, measure and describe. We chose a tree as the most suitable subject for this investiga
tion because, in many ways, a tree has enormous advantages. It
always stays put in a particular place; it requires no special
feeding; it does not have to be anaesthetized when making the
measurements; and there is no problem of cleaning up after the
experiments, as there is with animals in the laboratory. We hoped, then, that trees would not only offer a steady and
reliable baseline from which to measure ordinary environmental
influences but would also serve as antennae -so to speak-to
pick up any extraterrestrial or Universal forces that might in
fluence the living forms of this planet. 2
Since the pioneer studies of Lund, it has been known that trees
exhibit electrical characteristics. So it was reasonable to expect
tha t we could measure these over long periods of time if we could
find a suitable way to place our electrodes permanently in contact
with the cambium layer-the growing area of trees-with a
'bridge' of physiological salt solution to avoid any side-effects
from the electrodes. We anticipated no difficulty in measuring the potential gradi
ents in the tree at any given time. But, if we were to detect en
vironmental factors, we must prepare for the long haul and make
sure that our electrodes and recording instruments would remain
stable and reliable for many years. If we could achieve this, we also hoped that our experiments
with trees would answer another question: There seemed to be
no doubt that the voltage gradients we had measured in living
forms were the result of an unequal distribution of charged par
ticles on either side of phase boundaries. This uneven distribution
might be caused, of course, merely by the constantly-changing
97 ANTENNAE TO THE UNI VERSE
chemical flux of the protoplasm. But was this the sole explana
tion of the voltage gradients. Only a long-term study could
settle this question. If chemistry is the only factor in voltage gradients, one might
expect wide varial"ions in voltage gradicnts, both in magnit ude
and polarity as the chemistry of the organism changes from time
to time. A tree is a highly-organized living system in an environ
ment in which change is a constant factor and might therefore be
expected to have other significant voltage variations. Our first 'antenna to the Universe' was a young maple tree
outside my house in New Haven, Connecticut, which could be
connected to recording instruments in the hOLlse. At first glance
this might seem a simple matter but
