 very painful periods with profuse bleeding and abdominal pain. Her nutrition had been generally good because he r
mother couldn't survive on the average American diet and had long ago converted her family to vegetarianism. And like her
mothe r, Elsie had been taking vitamins for many years.
    A medical doctor diagnosed Elsie as having endometriosis, meaning, the lining of her uterus had migrated to the fallopian tub es,
where it continued to bleed regularly into the abdominal cavity, followi ng the same hormonal cycle as the endometritial tissue that
lines the uterus. The doctor offered to try hormonal manipulation and if this proved unsuccessful, offered a hysterectomy. Th at
would certainly eliminate the symptoms!
    But Elsie did not wish t o eliminate her ability to have children and preferred not to risk throwing her hormones off balance. So
she came to me. My analysis showed that she had weak ovaries and weak uterus. These were secondary to a toxic colon, toxic
because she had a weak gall bladder and weak pancreas that reduced her digestive capacity and turned her improperly combined
Organic, vegetarian legume -rich diet into toxemia. Checking her foods for allergies I discovered the normal pattern: Elsie was
intolerant to dairy, wheat, eggs, corn, soy and concentrated sugars.
    Being no stranger to fasting (her mother had fasted at length ten years previously) Elsie undertook a 30 day cleanse on veget able
juice with daily enemas, taking vitamins in powdered form. After the fast I put her o n protomorphogens for her reproductive
organs and pancreas. The gall bladder had healed by itself during fasting –gall bladders usually heal easily. Her maintenance diet
included using pancreatic enzyme supplements when eating vegetable proteins and Elsie e liminated most fats so her gall bladder
would not be stressed. The fasting also overcame her allergic reactions to corn and wheat but she was still unable to handle soy
products, eggs or dairy. After six months Elsie no longer needed protomorphogens, had n o abdominal pain and her periods were
normal.
    You may well be wondering how or why detoxification of the bowels allowed the body to repair the uterus. The large intestine
is a sort of nest that cradles the reproductive organs, including the ovaries, u terus, and in the case of the male, the prostate gland. A
toxic colon is like having one rotten apple in a basket, it contaminates the whole batch. Many problems in the abdominal area  are
caused by a toxic colon, including chronic back pain, ovarian cysts,  infertility, birth abnormalities, bladder infections and bladder
cancer, painful menstruation, fibroids and other benign growths as well as malignant ones, and prostatitis or prostate cancer.
Detoxing the body and cleaning out the colon should be a part o f the healing of all of these conditions.

Irritable Bowels
    Some peoples' lives don't run smoothly. Jeanne's certainly didn't. She was abandoned to raise three little kids on welfare. H er
college diploma turned out to be useless. Jeanne used to help m e at Great Oaks in exchange for treatment. During those early years
she had done a 30 day juice fast with colonics. Twenty years later at age 60, having survived three children's growing up, su rviving
the profound, enduring loss of one who died as an adult, after starting up and running a small business that for many years barely
paid its way, and experiencing an uninsured fire that took her house, she began to develop abdominal pains the doctors named
"irritable bowel syndrome" or "colitis." The MD offered  antibiotics and antispasmodics but Jeanne had no insurance, the remedies
were unaffordable. She also retained considerable affinity for natural medicine.
    Prior to these symptoms her diet had been vegetarian, and had included large quantities of raw fr uits and vegetables and whole
grains. But the bran in bread was irritating to her bowels, she could no longer digest raw vegetables or most raw fruit.
    Jeanne's vital force was low; her healing took time. She started on a long fast supported by powdered  vitamins, vegetable broth
and herb teas, but after three weeks was too weak to do her own enemas at home and could not shop for vegetables to cook into
broth. So she had to add one small serving of cooked vegetable per day, usually broccoli or steamed kal e. This lasted for one more
week but Jeanne, having no financial reserves, had to return to work, and needed to regain energy quickly. Though not totally
healed, she progressed to a maintenance diet of cooked grains and vegetables and food supplements, ver y much like a Macrobiotic
diet. She felt better for awhile but wore down again after another stressful year.
    Her abdominal pains gradually returned though this time she noticed they were closely associated with her stresses. About one
year after ending  her first fast, as soon as she could arrange to take time off, she began another. This time to avoid extreme
weakness, she took vegetable broth from the outset, as well as small amounts of carrot juice and one small serving of cooked
vegetable a day for t hree weeks. Again, this rest allowed the digestive tract to heal and the pain went away. She returned to her
Macrobiotic diet with selected raw foods that she could now handle without irritating her bowel.
    She was now healthier then she had been in man y years. With improved energy and a more positive attitude, Jeanne returned to
University at age 65 and obtained a teaching certificate. Now she is making good money, doing work she enjoys for the first t ime
in 35 years. I hope she has a long and happy lif e. She is entitled to one!

A Collection of Gallbladders
    Gallbladder cases are rather ho -hum to me; they are quick to respond to hygienic treatment and easy to resolve. I've fixed lots of
them. But an inflamed gallbladder is in no way ho -hum to the per son afflicted with it. I've been frequently told that there are no
worse pains a body can create than an inflamed gallbladder or the sensations accompanying the passing of a gall stone. I hear  from
kidney patients that passing a kidney stone is worse but I've never had a patient who experienced both kinds of stones to give me
an honest comparative evaluation.
    The only thing dangerous about simple gallbladder problems is ignoring them (between the bouts of severe pain they can cause)
because then the inflamed gallbladder can involve the liver. I already told the story of how my own mother lost half her live r this
way.
    The condition is usually caused by a combination of hereditary tendency, general toxemia, and/or a high -fat diet, especially one
high in animal fats. The liver makes bile that is stored in the gallbladder, to be released on demand into the small intestine to digest
fat. A toxic, overloaded liver makes irritating sediment -containing bile that inflames the gallbladder and forms stones. A high -fat
diet forces the liver to make even more of this irritant.
    A toxic, overloaded, inflamed, bloc ked gallbladder is capable of causing an enormous array of symptoms that can seem to have
no connection at all to their cause. In part these same symptoms are caused by a toxic, constipated colon that, in part, got that way
because of poor fat digestion ov er a long time. These symptoms include: severe back pain; headache; bloating; burping; nausea;
insomnia; intestinal gas; generalized aches and pains.
    Medical doctors used to remove a troublesome gallbladder without hesitation; it was an organ they cons idered to be highly
dispensable. Without one, the bile duct takes over as a bladder but its capacity is much smaller so the person's ability to d igest fats
has been permanently crippled, leading to increased toxemia and earlier aging if fats are not elimin ated from the diet. These days
the medicos have a new, less invasive procedure to eliminate stones; they are vibrated and broken -up by ultrasonics without major
surgery. Inflamed gallbladders are usually removed because gallbladder inflammations resist tre atment by antibiotics.
    There are several very effective natural gallbladder remedies. The best is a three week fast, taking the juice of one or two lemons
every day, along with colonics. The lemon juice tends to clear the bile duct. The fast allows the  gallbladder to heal from
inflammation. In cases that aren't too severe I have had very good results simply eliminating fats from the diet and using a food
supplement derived from beet tops called AF Betafood. However, in all these cases, once the gallblad der is no longer "acting up,"
the person must stay on a low fat diet. Any fats they do eat must be vegetable and in small quantities.
    By healing their gallbladders and cleansing their colons, several of my clients have resolved severe, debilitating bac k pain, pain
so severe that the suffers were becoming bedridden. Medical doctors don't associate gallbladder disease with back pain.

The Frightening Heart
    Heart disease is one of the major causes of death among North Americans. It evokes images of res uscitation, of desperate races
against time, trying to restart an arrested heart before the brain dies. It makes people think of horribly expensive surgery,  last wills
and testaments, terrible, paralyzing pain. Heart


is an antioxidant that works with vitamin
E to protect cells from damaging effects of
free radicals. In one study, male health
professionals who consumed twice the
recommended daily intake of selenium cut
their risk of prostate cancer by 65 percent.
Like most plants, mushrooms are loaded
with polysaccharides, phytonutrients thatappear to possess potent anti-cancer
properties. Several studies indicate that
mushrooms may help to prevent breast
cancer. This is attributed to the inhibition
of aromatase, an enzyme involved in
hyperestrogenemia, a condition
characterized by excessive oestrogen
production. Mushrooms are also high in
other antioxidants such as L-
ergothioneine. In fact, they contain higher
levels of this agent than other dietary
sources, including liver and wheat germ,
and are not depleted during cooking.
According to the
Journal of Neurology,
Neurosurgery & Psychiatry
, the
prevention of Alzheimer’s disease may be
included among the health benefits ofmushrooms. This assessment is based on
research suggesting that niacin-rich foods,
like mushrooms, appear to prevent or
delay Alzheimer’s and other cognitive
disorders by as much as 70 percent. In
addition, niacin interrupts the activity of
homocysteine, an amino acid associated
with elevated cholesterol and an
increased risk of heart disease, stroke and
osteoarthritis.
Mushrooms are an excellent source of
iron, selenium, potassium, phosphorus,
riboflavin, pantothenis acid, copper and
zinc. In addition to providing antioxidant
value, these nutrients also play a role in
enhancing immunity and preventing
disease. Most of the research completedon the health benefits of mushrooms has
focused on the shiitake, maitake, reishi
and crimini varieties. More recent
research indicates that common white
button mushrooms provide just as much
potential to fight cancer and reduce blood
pressure and cholesterol as fancier
varieties. This includes portobello
mushrooms, the popular vegetarian meat
alternative. Oyster and thistle mushrooms
contain about 80 to 90 percent water, and
are very low in calories. They have little
sodium and fat, and 8 to 10 percent of the
dry weight is fibre.
OlivesEven though olives have a high fat content
of 15 to 35 percent, they are an excellent
source of oleic acid (an omega-9
monounsaturated fatty acid). Since olives
contain mixed tocopherols, they are also a
good source of vitamin E. Olives and their
oil contain many unique phenolic and
aromatic compounds, including
oleuroperin and flavonoids.
Research has shown that it is the type of
fat consumed that determines the risk of
developing conditions such as diabetes,
atherosclerosis, colon cancer, arthritis and
asthma. People from regions such as the
Mediterranean typically consume large
amounts of olive oil and have a lower risk
of developing those conditions.In places like the United States, high
levels of animal fats are consumed which
increases the risk of developing those
diseases. Olives and olive oil may also be
effective in the prevention and treatment
of asthma, cancer and arthritis.
Onions
Onions are a surprising source of fibre
and a rich source of healthy sulphur
compounds, similar to those found in
garlic. Research on onions appears to
have lagged behind garlic research, but
onions seem to have similar
cardiovascular benefits, such as reducing
blood pressure and blood cholesterollevels, at least in the short term. Onions
have antibacterial and antifungal
properties, and also contain flavonoids,
which help vitamin C in its function,
improving the integrity of blood vessels
and decreasing inflammation.
Onions also contain vitamin C and
chromium. Chromium is a mineral that
helps cells respond to insulin, ultimately
assisting with blood glucose control.
Green onions, because of their bright
green tops, provide a wealth of vitamin A.
Onions are a very good source of vitamin
B6, biotin and fibre. They are also a good
source of folic acid and vitamins B1 and
K.The health benefits provided by onions
are mostly due to the several organic
sulphur compounds they contain. Like
garlic, onions also have the enzyme
allinase (released when an onion is cut or
crushed). Other constituents that are found
in onions include phenolic acids (such as
ellagic, caffeic, sinapic and p-coumaric),
pectin, sterols, saponins and volatile oils.
Pears
Pears are an excellent source of soluble
fibre. They contain vitamins A, B1, B2, C,
E, folic acid and niacin. They are also
rich in copper, phosphorus and potassium,
with lesser amounts of calcium, chlorine,iron, magnesium, sodium and sulphur.
Some varieties have more iron content
than others.
Pears have antioxidant and anti-
carcinogen glutathione, which help
prevent high blood pressure and stroke.
The high vitamin C and copper content act
as good antioxidants that protect cells
from damage by free radicals and are
critical in building the immune system.
The high content of pectin in pears makes
this fruit very useful in lowering
cholesterol levels. The pectin is also a
diuretic and has a mild laxative effect.
Drinking pear juice regularly helps
regulate bowel movements. Due to its high
amount of fructose and glucose, pear juiceis a quick and natural source of energy. It
is also high in fibre, which is highly
beneficial for colon health. Pear juice has
an anti-inflammatory effect and helps
relieve sufferers of much pain
in various
inflammatory conditions. Pears also
contain high levels of boron, which assists
in retaining calcium and thus prevents or
stops osteoporosis.
Peppers
Brightly coloured bell peppers, whether
green, red, orange or yellow, are rich
sources of some of the best nutrients
available. Peppers are an excellent source
of vitamins C and A, two very powerfulantioxidants. These antioxidants work
together to effectively neutralize free
radicals, which can travel through the
body causing huge amounts of damage to
cells which can lead to heart disease,
cataracts, asthma, diabetes, etc. By
providing these two potent free radical
destroyers, bell peppers may help prevent
or reduce some of the symptoms of these
conditions by shutting down the source of
the problem.
As mentioned above, all peppers are rich
in vitamins A, C and K, but red peppers
are simply bursting with them. Vitamins A
and C also reduce inflammation like that
found in arthritis and asthma. Vitamin K
promotes proper blood clotting,strengthens bones and helps protect cells
from oxidative damage.
Red peppers are a good source of the
carotenoid called lycopene, an antioxidant
compound that is earning a reputation for
helping prevent prostate cancer as well as
cancer of the bladder, cervix and
pancreas. Beta-cryptoxanthin, another
carotenoid in red peppers, helps to
prevent lung cancer related to smoking
and second-hand smoke. Besides being
rich in phytochemicals, peppers provide a
decent amount of fibre.
PineapplesPineapple is packed full of vitamins and
minerals. Its nutrients include calcium,
potassium, fibre and vitamin C. In
addition, it is low in fat and cholesterol.
Pineapple also contains a substance called
bromelain, which is a natural
anti-
inflammatory
 that has many health benefits
and encourages healing. According to Dr
Andrew Weil, bromelain is very effective
in treating bruises, sprains and strains by
reducing swelling, tenderness and pain.
This powerful anti-inflammatory effect
can also help relieve rheumatoid arthritis
symptoms and reduce post-operative
swelling. Additionally, the bromelain
contained in fresh pineapple can relieve
indigestion. This enzyme breaks down the
amino acid bonds in proteins whichpromotes good digestion.
Pineapples provide an ample supply of
vitamin C, a commonly known antioxidant
(as previously mentioned) that protects the
body from free radical damage and boosts
the immune system.
Pomegranates
Pomegranate contains polyphenols,
tannins and anthocyanins, all of which are
beneficial antioxidants. Its high
antioxidant content rivals that of many
other fruits, red wine and green tea.
Pomegranate juice also contains fibre,potassium and vitamin C. Studies are
being carried out to research the health
benefits of pomegranate juice in possibly
decreasing the return rate of prostate
cancer after surgery and chemotherapy. It
may also prevent hardening of the arteries
by keeping the arteries clear from fatty
deposits and may even slow the
progression of heart disease.
The antioxidant properties of pomegranate
help to guard the body against the
substances that can cause premature aging,
heart disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer and
other diseases or conditions. It has been
used around the world as a way to clear
skin. In folk medicine it has been used to
treat inflammation, sore throats andrheumatism.
Quinoa
Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is not a
grain; it is actually a seed of a plant


  attain a competitive edge. Since oxygen is
the fuel for wo rking muscles, anything that increases body o xygenation
above no rmal le vels will be of great benefit to an athlete’ s performance, and
because oxygen is a natural and limitless resource, it is the id eal tool for
boosting performance legally.
One way of tapp ing into your o wn natural resources is to purp osefully
subject the body to reduced oxy gen intake for a short period of time. When
the human body is exposed to situations in which there are reduced oxygen
levels—such as high altitude, or by holding the breath—adaptations take
place that force the body to increase oxygenation of the blood. Even if you
are n ot a  compe titive athlete, using these techniques will allow  you to get
the most out of your workout and accelerate whatever fitness program you
undertake. Who doesn’ t want to do more with less ef fort?
While st riving for improved performance, however, there will always be
athletes who choose to participa te in illegal methods of blood doping, either
through blood transfusion or by taking a banned substance such as
erythropoietin (EPO), testosterone, or human growth hormone.
Blood tr ansfusions are a testament to the drastic and illegal measures
that some athletes go to in order to gain the edge over their competitors. A
few wee ks before competition, blood is extracted from the athlete’ s body
and stored in a freezer or refrigerator. The body, sensing that blood levels
are l ower than n ormal, will produce additional red blood cells to bridge thegap. Closer to the endurance ev ent, typically between one and seven days,
the stored blood is reinfused into the body of the athlete. This addition of
blood increases quantities of red  blood cells above normal leve ls, which in
turn increases VO 2  max and enhances physical performance.
By the early 19 90s EPO had become the banned substance of choice
amongst athletes  seeking to increase their endurance performanc e. EPO is a
naturally occurr ing hormone produced in the kidneys that stimulates the
bone marrow to release more re d blood cells into circulation. Because red
blood ce lls carr y oxygen from the lungs to the muscles, having a higher
concentration in the circulation can greatly improve an athlete’ s aerobic
capacity. EPO that is produced in a lab is almost identical to t he naturally
occurring hormone that is produced in the body. For medical purposes, EPO
is prescr ibed to people with chro nic kidney disease–induced anemia as their
condition result s in a decreas e in the amount of red blood cells in
circulation. How ever, soon after its inception, some members of the athletic
community reali zed that taking an artificial version of EPO impr oved sports
performance by increasing the oxygen-carrying capacity of the body.
The mos t notori ous endurance event on earth for blood doping has to be
the T our  de France. Regarded a s the most prestigious of all cycle races in
the world, and with places limited to around two hundred athletes,
participation in the T our de France is the dream of any budding amateur or
professional cyclist. Not for the fainthearted, the event consists of a
grueling 2,200-mile cycle over twenty-two days, with some mountain
climbs lasting for twenty miles or more. Ever since its inception in 1903,
there have been allegations of cyclists resorting to various illegal techniques
to help them complete the event or improve their performance. Early
reports i nvolved cyclists fueling  their bodies with alcohol, stopping of f at
various stages to load their pouches with wine, beer, or whatever else they
could ge t their hands on, more so to numb the pain to help finish the race
rather th an improve athletic performance. However, in more recent decades,
competitors took greater risks to gain an edge.
A granit e memorial to the renow ned British cyclist T om Simpson stands
on the spot whe re he collapsed and died during the 1967 T our de France.
The epitaph reads: OL YMPIC MEDALIST, WORLD CHAM PION, BRITISH SPOR TING
AMBASSADOR. At twe nty-nine, Simpson was regarded as one of the all-timebest Brit ish cycl ists. During the race, as the route made its way through the
Alps, Simpson fell ill with diarrhea and stomach pains.
In the searing heat, close to the summit of Mont V entoux, Simpson fell.
W ith a determin ed ef fort to cont inue, he ordered onlookers to “p ut me back
on my bike,” a nd continued to ride 500 yards farther before  collapsing
again. Despite ef forts by a nurse to resuscitate him, he was pronounced
dead af ter being airlifted by helicopter to the hospital. Simpson’ s
postmortem revealed amphetamines in his system. Later, i nvestigators
would discover more evidence of the drugs in his hotel room and the
pockets of his jersey.
In la ter years, methods of doping became more sophisticated. T yler
Hamilton, who was the now-disgraced former champion Lance Armstrong’ s
teammate, descr ibed how he got goose bumps as blood, fresh from the
refrigerator, entered his veins. In his book, The Secr et Race,  Hamilton
claims that Armstrong also h ad a blood transfusion to i mprove his
performance, and that during the 1998 T our de France the riders were
followed on a m otorbike by an a ccomplice carrying fresh vials of EPO. “T o
Lance’ s way of thinking, doping is a fact of life, like oxygen or gravity,”
Hamilton wrote.
Lance Armstron g’ s fall from gra ce came on October 10, 2010, when the
U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) released a statement concluding that
the “evidence shows beyond a ny doubt that the U.S. Postal Service Pro
Cycling T eam [Lance Armstrong’ s team] ran the most sophisticated,
professionalized, and successful doping program that sport ha s ever seen.”
Summed up in the statement was the courage of eleven of A rmstrong’ s
former t eammates who participated in the doping conspiracy but assisted
the agency in its investigation in order to “help young athletes have hope
that they are not put in the position they were.”
In January 2013, in a no-holds -barred interview with Oprah W infrey,
Armstrong adm itted to taking banned substances, including EPO,
testosterone, human growth hormone, and cortisone, and confess ed to blood
doping a nd bloo d transfusions to enhance his cycling performance. When
W infrey asked if he had used il legal substances or doping methods during
all seven of his T our de France victories, the crushing answer was “yes.”
Preparation to compete in the T our de France often takes place at a
young a ge. From their early tee ns, cyclists sacrifice their social lives andspare time to cyc ling and training to build strength, stamina, and endurance.
I would like you to put yourself in this situation for a moment. Imagine that
for years you have devoted every waking hour to training, living, and
dreaming cycling. After a roller -coaster few years, you are finally good
enough t o take part in your greatest aspiration: the T our de France. But soon
within y our first season, your colleagues present you with two options:
Either blood dope and have some chance of competing on a level playing
field, or  choose  not to blood dope and return home, leaving your dreams
behind. This is likely the scenar io that faced many cycling great s, including
T yler Ha milton, Floyd Landis, Bjarne Riis, and Marco Pantani, who wanted
nothing more than to compete in the sport they loved.  While many cyclists
reluctantly gave  into the temptation, others chose to abandon their chance at
the T our de France. Stephen Swart grew up on New Zealand’ s North Island,
and in his junior racing days both he and his brother were very  successful
cyclists. Swart cycled alongside Lance Armstrong in 1994 and 1995, but at
age thirty he walked away from cycling completely and was later vilified by
his fellow cyclists for “spitting in the soup” after he broke the code of
silence about doping within the sport. Looking back, Swart said he felt
cheated in a way, wishing he had never been put i n th e positio n to dope. His
natural ability was undermined by the doping culture that surrounded him.
For man y years, winning the T o ur de France seemed to be as much about
whose doctor prescribed the be st cocktail of banned substances than the
athletic prowess of the competitors.
Since the sporting world has come under increased attention from
investigative jou rnalists—including David W alsh, chief sports writer with
the London  Sunday T imes, and Paul Kimmage, former professional cyclist
and award-winning sports journalist—dealing with cheating has now risen
to th e to p of the agenda for man y sporting authorities. Kimmage, who spent
the past  few decades exposing the doping culture in the T our de France,
commented: “I’ ve always understood the pressure to dope


 that millions of people wouldwant to become addicted to them. Because I make such a point of getting in my
workout every day, my husband has accused me of being an endorphin junkie,
and he is right! I admit it, I’m really hooked on the feeling of well being Iconsistently get from any sustained exercise. I defend my addiction staunchlybecause it is the healthiest addiction I know of.
I have also been accused of carrying exercise to extremes, and I admit to that
also. For a few years I trained for Ironman triathlons. I now think doing ironmandistances is immoderate and except for a few remarkable individuals with “iron”constitutions, training that hard can only lead to a form of exhaustion that is nothealth promoting. I have become much more sensible in my “old” age, and inrecent years have limited my participation to the Olympic distance triathlons. Iwas on the Canadian team at the World Championship in 1992, and intend to doit again in 1995. I do not find the Olympic distance exhausting, in fact I think it isgreat fun and truly exhilarating. I get to see all these wonderful age groupcompetitors from all over the world who look and feel fantastic. It does my soulgood to see a group of people aging so gracefully, not buying into the popularnotion that old age is inevitably disabling, depressing, and ugly. Sport brings adegree of balance to my life after spending so much time in the presence of thesick. I plan to maintain my athletic activities into old age, barring accident or otherunforeseen obstacles to fitness.
To maintain basic fitness it does not matter so much what form of exercise is
chosen, as long as it is not damaging to the skeletal system or connective tissues.Many people are unable to run due to foot, knee, hip, or back problems, butalmost everyone can walk. Walking outside is better than inside on a treadmill,and walking hills is better than walking on flat ground. Exercise machines such asstationary bikes, cross country ski machines, and stair steppers work well for alot of people who live in the city, especially in the winter, or for those who hateexercise. Whatever you choose to do, it is important to at least double the restingpulse for 30 minutes no less than four days a week. This is the absolute minimumrequired to maintain the health and function of the cardiovascular-pulmonary
system. If your resting pulse is 70, you must walk, jog, ski, bike, swim or what
have you, fast enough to keep the pulse at 140 beats per minute for at least 30minutes.
I have a strong preference to exercising outside in isolated places where there
is only me and the forest, or only me and the river. Running along logging roads inthe hilly back country, or swimming in the green unpolluted water of a forest riveris a spiritual experience for me. It is a time to meditate, to commune with nature,and to clear my mind and create new solutions. The repetitive action of running orwalking or swimming, along with the regular deep breathing in clean air, with nodistractions except what nature provides is truly health promoting. Sharing theseactivities with friends or family can also be great fun and some of the best in socialinteractions. It is one of my favorite ways of visiting with people. I don’t expectother people to be as enthusiastic about exercise as I am, but I do hope thateveryone will make an effort to be minimally fit as an ongoing part of their healthprogram into old age.
Diet For A Long, Long Life
Some people not only want to be healthy, but they want to live in good health
long past the normal life span projected by statistical tables for Homo Sapiens.
Dr. Roy Walford, a well-respected medical research gerontologist who has beenactively studying longevity for many years, is one of those. He has scientificallydemonstrated with accepted studies that a qualitative life span up to at least 115years of age is reasonably attainable by the average person if they start workingon it no later than about 50 years of age, though earlier is much better.
Walford’s principles of extending life are very simple. All you have to do is
restrict your caloric intake to about 1,500 per day, and water fast two days aweek. Or alternatively, reduce your caloric intake to 1,200 per day and fast onlyone day a week on water. And make sure that every single bit of food you do eatis packed with nutrition, every single calorie, without exception. You continue this
program for the rest of your life along with moderate daily exercise and high but
reasonable dosages of vitamins, minerals, and also take a few exotic foodsupplements. The supplement program is not particularly expensive nor extreme,Walford’s supplement program is more moderate than the life extension program Irecommend for all middle-aged and older people. The best foods for this type ofprogram is a largely raw food diet (80%) with a predominance of sprouts andbaby greens, some cooked vegetables, and raw nuts and seeds. And make sureyou get 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise every other day.
While Dr. Walford’s focus is on caloric reduction while maintaining sufficient
nutrition, most other life extensionists focus on increasing the nutrition side of theequation for health without bothering to reduce caloric intake. This approach ismuch easier because essentially, it involves gobbling nutritional supplements by thehandfuls without requiring self-discipline, though it can get quite expensive. I’llhave more to say about this approach in the next chapter, which is about vitamins.
In this book I can’t explain all the aspects of prolongation of life through
conscious life-style choice. Those who are interested are referred to theBibliography.
Chapter Six
Vitamins and
Other Food Supplements
From The Hygienic Dictionary
Vitamins. [1] The staple foods may not contain the same nutritive substances as in former times....
Chemical fertilizers, by increasing the abundance of the crops without replacing all the exhaustedelements of the soil, may have indirectly contributed to change the nutritive value of cereal grains andof vegetables.... Hygienists have not paid sufficient attention to the genesis of diseases. Theirstudies of conditions of life and diet, and of their effects on the physiological and mental state ofmodern man are superficial, incomplete, and of too short duration. They have, thus, contributed to theweakening of our body and our soul. Alexis Carrel, Man the Unknown.
I have already explained the hygienist’s view of why people get sick. The
sequence of causation goes: enervation, toxemia, alternative elimination, disease.However, there is one more link in this chain, a precursor to enervation that, forgood and understandable reasons, seemed unknown to the earlier hygienists. Thatprecursor is long term subclinical malnutrition. Lack of nutrition effects virtuallyeverybody today. Almost all of us are overfed but undernourished.
I have already explained that one particular head of broccoli does not
necessarily equal another head of broccoli; the nutritional composition ofapparently identical foods can be highly variable. Not only do different samples ofthe same type of food differ wildly in protein content, amino acid ratios andmineral content, their vitamin and vitamin-like substances also vary according tosoil fertility and the variety grown.
These days, food crop varieties are bred for yield and other commercial
considerations, such as shipability, storage life, and ease of processing. In pre-industrial times when each family propagated its own unique open-pollinatedvarieties, a natural selection process for healthy outcomes prevailed. If the family’sparticular, unique varieties carried genes for high nutrition levels, and if the family’sland was fertile enough to allow those genes to manifest, and if the family kept upits land’s fertility by wise management, their children tended to survive the gauntletof childhood illness and lived to propagate the family’s varieties and continue thefamily name. Thus, over time, human food cultivars were selected for theirnutritional content.
But not any longer! These days, farming technology with its focus on bulk yield

Subclinical, life-long, vitamin and mineral deficiencies contribute to the onset of
disease; the malnourished body becomes increasingly enervated, beginning theprocess of disease. Vitamin supplements can increase the body’s vital force,reversing to a degree the natural tendency towards degeneration. In fact, somemedical gerontologists theorize that by using vitamins it might be possible torestore human life span to its genetically programmed 115 years without doinganything else about increasing nutrition from our degraded foods or paying muchattention to dietary indiscretions. Knowing what I do about toxemia’s effects Idoubt vitamins can allow us to totally ignore what we eat, though supplements cancertainly help.
More than degraded nutritional content of food prompts a thinking person to
use food supplements. Our bodies and spirits are constantly assaulted andinsulted by modern life in ways our genetics never intended us to deal with. Todaythe entire environment is mildly toxic. Air is polluted; water is polluted; our foodsupply contains traces of highly poisonous artificial molecules that our bodies haveno natural ability to process and eliminate. Our cities and work places are full of
loud, shocking noises that trigger frequent adrenaline rushes and other stress
adaptations. Our work places are full of psychological stresses that humans neverhad to deal with before.

that built on those founda tions—what it got was an
ideological takeover.
Many arguments have been put forth to the effect
that our country's educational problems are derived
from the fact and extent of government involvement in
our schools. This is a fallacy promoted by those who
simply cannot perceive either the true source of the evil
or the enormous good to which an awesomely powerful
and wealthy organization can be put if only it is led by
enlightened forces. The fault lies not in the structure

throughout the country from the pilot program at New Harmony. Owen's
career in this country is exemplary.  The "father of British socialism"
established New Harmony (Indiana) in 1825 and, following its failure and
his return to Britain, his disciples Robert Dale Owen (son) and Frances
Wright went on to found the Association for the Protection of Industry and
for the Promotion of National Education (Fanny Wright Societies) and
militate nationally for federal- and state-supported free and compulsory
schooling. Robert Dale Owen was able to  promote this idea more effectively
in his later role as a U.S. congressman. It was Neef's version of
Pestalozzianism that was carried by  the Fanny Wright Societies into a

they are either poorly e ducated or ill-intentioned.
George Washington and Benjamin Franklin could
take America's educational systems as they stand
and overnight turn them into the most powerful
force ever known for the elevation of mankind. Had
they had the resources available to our educational
leaders today, the concepts they put into motion
would never have been outflanked by so ethically
impoverished a combine as that revealed by our
current account.
The thinking of world leaders is monitored by
their educations. Solutions to world problems are
now being devised and implemented by people who
are the products of an exponentially deteriorating
educational system.
Two hallmarks of a failed educational system
are: 1) its inability to produce people who can
resolve the problems of ed ucation itself, and 2) its
propensity for elevating to  positions of power and
authority people who will invent, advocate, and
enforce bizarre and destructive solutions. These
"solutions" attack the culture like a cancer and
prompt those responsible to  apply a kind of cultural
chemotherapy, painfully staving off the agonizing
consequences of their in eptitude until a new echelon
of mediocrats has succeeded them.
Life without education becomes a progressive
shrinking away from the most positive and exacting  98 THE LEIPZIG CONNECTION
dreams of Man.
Humanity is ill-organi zed. Geographically frag-
mented, it is spiritually and mentally even more
dispersed by an informa tional oligarchy enthralling
the populations of  Earth with its psychologically
programmed media. This cu rtain of disinformation
drawn over our lives make s any betterment appear
inconsequential and futile; all progress is reduced to
mere news and is qu ickly overwhelmed by a
relentless tide of deterior ation, alarm, and crisis.
Compulsory universal government psychotherapy
is not education.
Miseducation of both ou r leaders and their con-

. I also loved her simple honesty. The way she always spoke in
no-nonsense straight talk. Eykis never pulled punches. One always knew
what she wanted to convey.
I sat there, with her, deep in thought about how absolutely lovely, no,
perfect, she was, and yet I didn’ t even notice her outward appearance. The
things that one usually refers to in saying that a woman is “lovely” weren’ t
even on my mind. I only wanted to focus on just WHO this remarkable
woman was inside, not how she looked. I was excited by something that she
had said earlier and I had almost glossed over. “A remarkable set of gifts to
all of the people on Earth.” I thought she herself was the essence of just
that, but I knew she had something else in mind. I was also aware that she
would share it with me when she, rather than I, was ready.
She came out of her deep thought and asked that we put of f further talk
until the next day. She had spent a week traveling and recording her
observations. She was exhausted and yet I knew she would never complain
to me. Back on Uranus one didn’ t complain to others about fatigue, one
rested instead. There simply was no complaining in her reality.
As she stood up to leave, after scheduling a full day with me the next day,
she told me that her visit to Earth was more than half complete. She wantedone more meeting with me, and then we would make arrangements for her
final days here. She asked that I think about how she might best be utilized.
As she held the door slightly ajar, I kissed her ever so lightly on the mouth.
Nothing sensual, simply our very first touch. “I think I love you, Eykis,” I
said somewhat clumsily.
Long ago I had learned to say that familiar phrase if I felt it intuitively.
At this moment my intuition was working overtime. She reacted with the
most unique response I’ve ever heard.
“I know you do, and you can be sure I am aware of what that means now,
as well. I’ll see you at nine o’clock tomorrow morning. W e have much to
learn from each other. Good night, as they say here, as if a night could
really be good  or a day bad.”

 Eykis’ Final Observations
There was no doubt that we were becoming closer, despite her ef forts to
approach her task objectively, almost scientifically. Eykis still showed
unmistakable signs of emotion, signs in which I wanted to read a deeper
meaning than was intended. But then perhaps it was only thinking on my
part. The brief time that I had known her had been the most stimulating in
my entire life. No exceptions. I had spent weeks in the company of
supposed gurus from India and T ibet. I had studied ancient Zen masters and
talked directly to modern ones. There simply was no basis for comparison.
Eykis was a breed unto herself. Her communication was so alarmingly
simple that it almost knocked me out before I could digest it. The only
comparison that even came close was some very special moments I had
spent with young, unspoiled children. I have a reverence for children. I have
always felt most at home with those young people who laugh, tease, and lay
their emotions right out on the table for you to accept, reject, or handle as
you choose. Simple honesty is always present in children, and Eykis had all
the qualities characteristic of children as well as a profound knowledge of
how to think realistically and the ability to articulate that knowledge with
no nonsense. I always seemed to be thinking about her inner qualities. This
was new to me. That was exactly what I was thinking as she bounced into
the room early in the morning ready for our final day of sharing each
other ’s observations.
“Let’ s walk this morning,” she said in the straightforward style that was
unique to her.
“All right, Eykis,” I said. “Whatever pleases you.”
We left immediately and walked through the city to the waterfront. As we
walked together, stopping now and then at an occasional picnic table, we
became consumed by our shared experience. It was becoming easier for me
to touch her now, and once in a while I would take her hand in mine and
just hold it while we walked. She never once of fered any resistance, nor didshe seem at all af fected by my touch. She accepted it as my way of walking
with her, and did not make an issue of it. Y et I relished being even closer to
her. Somehow I felt that touching her brought us closer, and yet I knew it
didn’ t mean that to Eykis at all. For the first time in my life that didn’ t
bother me one iota.
“So what do you find most confusing about Earthlings?” I asked her.
“Well, I told you about my observation that most of you are simply sizing
up your reality incorrectly. That is the one characteristic that seems present
in virtually everything I’ve noted about your people,” she said.
“In what other ways do you find that we are mostly wrong in assessments
of our reality?” I asked, encouraging her to pursue this line.
“Okay, I’ll get even more specific than I was yesterday. As you know, I
give the anxiety attack report on television back home, and I think of my
job as a public service, that is, important work which helps people to avoid
anxiety.”
“I agree with that,” I said instantly.
“Well, on the logs I’ve kept since I arrived here on Earth, I’ve noted that
well over a thousand times, in my limited sample, I heard people
announcing that they were ‘having an anxiety attack.’ I’ve learned that
anxiety does not attack on Earth, and furthermore, there is not even
anything resembling anxiety on your planet. It just doesn’ t exist! Y et people
are acting as if it did.” She paused to catch her breath, then she continued.
“I can only conclude that all the people who say or believe they’re having
an anxiety attack are just incorrect. Y et I don’ t know why they would
choose to be wrong. Y ou all have a choice in virtually everything you
experience on Earth. So why, I keep asking myself, do these people keep
choosing to be wrong? Then, by checking with your medical associations
and experts in the health professions, I learned that tranquilizers and other
drugs designed to quell anxiety are consumed in record numbers. But why
is this so when there is no such thing as anxiety here on your planet?”
“Eykis, hold it. How can you say there is no such thing as anxiety on
Earth. Just look at the people, they’re full of anxiety about their
relationships, their job performances, the uncertainty of war, money, the
economy, their health and on and on. W e have plenty of anxiety.”
“Okay,” said Eykis, “where is this anxiety that you speak of?”
“Why, just because you can’ t see it doesn’ t mean it doesn’ t exist,” I
offered meekly. “It’s in the people themselves.”“Precisely my point,” she countered, “anxiety per se doesn’ t exist as it
does on Uranus. Here on Earth there are only individuals thinking
anxiously, and that is quite a dif ferent kind of reality altogether.”
“In what way?” I asked, not wanting to lose sight of this observation of
hers.
“Why, in every way possible. On Earth, you control your thinking, and it
is up to each person to decide for himself how he wants to think. This is
your corner of fr eedom, so to speak. But instead of using that freedom to
think in self-enhancing ways, you make two huge errors. First you elect to
think anxiously, and then you blame the results on anxiety itself, rather than
on your own choices. Consequently your people say things like ‘I’m having
an anxiety attack.’ It is simply incorrect to speak this way, to say nothing of
the thought processes behind such verbalizations.”
“But is that so harmful?” I asked in all seriousness.
“It is devastating!” she said emphatically. “When people assign
responsibility for their anxiety to some mythical anxiety attack, they need a
second myth to correct the original. The second myth is that swallowing an
antidote, such as a tranquilizer, will rid them of their imagined anxiety.”
“Okay, Eykis,” I protested, “but what if people don’ t say they are having
an anxiety attack, but simply feel anxiety because of the way they’re
treated, or because they encounter frustration as they try to reach their
goals.”
“It is even more absurdly wrong and preposterous for a person on Earth
to make such a claim. On Earth, regardless of how things are going, or, as
you put it, how you’re being treated, you still have absolute power over
what you decide to think. This is your reality. Therefore, when all appears
lost, or you’re disappointed in others, you can still elect to think in either
nonanxious or anxious ways. If you elect anxious, you end up tense, hurt,
afraid, angry, or just plain hyper, which is not conducive to happiness or
personal fulfillment. If, on the other hand, you elect to be nonanxious, you
get an opportunity to correct or ignore


 the elec
tronegative side of the system were amplified and
recorded (Grass Polygraph Model 7B).
When stable temperature levels were applied to the
external bath and measured inside and outside the
apparatus, variations from + I°C to +500C did not
influence the electroosmotic pressure elevations as po
tential pulses of 10 to 40 volts of I sec duration each
were applied over the electrodes.
88 Water At the same time, no elevation or depression of
temperature was observed within the cotton wool ma
trix.
The range of water temperature in these experi
ments, + I°C to +so•c, includes most of the actual
range of biologic temperatures. The absence of detect
able influence of water of different temperatures on
electroosmotic pressure as well as the absence of de
tectable temperature changes within the cotton wool
matrix during electroosmosis suggest two pos.sible ex·
planations. First, the sensitivity of the pressure and
temperature recording devices may have been too low,
which is not very likely. Second and more likely, the
transformation of the available free energy of water
may correlate directly with the energy level of the
applied electric field. This possibility is consistent
with the previously described experimental results
(Fig. IX: 6), showing a linear relation between applied
electrode voltages and fiXed charged (Type I) elec
troosmotic pressures. This explanation is in itself not
particularly remarkable: isothermal reactions are com
monly encountered in biology.
H. Experimental
electroosmosis in dog and
human lung tissue
Normal, fresh, peripheral lung tissue from 2 dogs and
2 humans after pneumonectomy were each carefully
minced. The tissue materials were then washed repeat
edly in water. Each specimen was placed under slight +
compression between the perforated perspex plates in
the electroosmotic apparatus (Fig. IX: 9). The appara
tus was then filled with water. Voltage was applied
between the electrodes. Pressure was recorded in the
two water chambers.
These electroosmotic experiments revealed that hu
man and dog lung tissue behaved in the same way as
cotton wool.
From these experiments it is apparent (Fig. IX: 9)
that short pulses through a closed electric circuit can
induce similar rapid pressure gradients over fresh hu
man and dog lung tissue and cotton wool. Electroos
motic water transport may possibly, therefore, also
take place in the lung, e.g., as Type I electroosmosis
( = fixed charge electroosmosis = "anomalous osmo
sis"). Such a possibility, however, warrants some fur
ther considerations.
I. Electroosmotic flow of
water: local displacement of
water in the formation of
"A" and "B" zones around
a tumour
Many studies have estimated the possible importan ce
of electroosmosis in biology (14, 20, 23, 25, 26, 28, 34,
35, 46, 65, 70, 77, 85). A small electroosmotic move
ment of water toward the negative pole in the large
cells of Nitella was found by Blinks and Airth (13, 14) 20V

the same way as does compressed CQnon wool. In this experi·

but only at potential differences of J-2 V, which they
considered to be 20 times greater than common bio
logical levels.
An exceedingly small electroosmotic flow has been
demonstrated in Nitella by Penson and Dainty (28),
but they concluded the flow was too small to be of
physiological significance. 20 mm3 H20/coulomb was
transported by electroosmos is. The physiological cur
rent across the membrane by ion transfer is about
w-' A/em', which should allow a water flow of only 2xw-• H20 em-' sec-1•
According to these calculations, electroosmotic flow
should have minimal if any significant function in
biology. Further information in the literature suggests
otherwise. S:.wycr ~ et al. (64), -state that transverse

of as much as 100 nun Hg is then maintained across at
most a few microns of intima. The electric double

Fig. IX: 10. A tumour in the lung obstructs lymphatic flow
toward the hilum by blocking some of the interlobular
spaces. Oedema then develops in the tissue between the tu
mour and the pleura. Electroosmosis will move water away
from the tumour, in the presence of a closed electric circuit
between an electropositive tumour surface and a relatively
electronegative, surrounding pulmonary matrix of narrow
channels lined with fixed negative charges. An equilibrium is:

layer at the vascular interface and at the surfaces of the
cells within the walls presents a surprisingly high field
streng~h. It approaches 106 to 108 volts per transmem
branous em (64). As indicated by Teorell (83-86) and
others, certain cellular functions can be explained by
assunting elecuoosmotic transmembranous water
transport. Thus, pressure-volume changes in cells
might be coupled to transmembranous concentration
changes of flow and to a postulated closed circuit
electric transport over the cell membrane, producing
electroosmotic flow. In this way an electrochemica l
mecha.nical system could be described which may have
a biological correspondence (87).
The polarity of the net surface charge of cellular
surfaces has been reponed to be almoSt exclusively
electronegative (4, 12, 36, 92). One curious exception
are spirochaetes, which carry a positive net surface
charge (1).
Previous investigators of electroosmosis in biology
have dealt with these problems in connection with
transmembranous water transport.
In tihe present investigation s the possibility of inter
stitial water transport is of particular interest. The
basic physical requirements for such a mechanism are
narrow channels with fixed charges, a closed electric
circuit and a driving electric potential gradient.
The network of intercellular spaces forming such
90 Water channels ("capillaries ") in lung tissue appear to poS
sess the capacity to produce electroosmosis, according
to the in vitro experiments here presented. Because
most mammalian cells are provided with a surplus of
fixed negative surface charges, it can be anticipated
that the electroosmotic water transport is partly medi
ated by these surface charges of the cells, analogous to
the case with cotton wool. This possible Type I
mechanism of electroosmosis does not exclude the
presence of other mechanisms of electroosmosis in
tissue.
The assumption that electroosmotic water transport
is likely to produce "A" and "B" zones around differ
ent lung lesions still requires an electric potential gra
dient in a closed electric circuit. Chapter VII suggests
that a possible energy source for activation of such a
circuit is local degrading of tissue due to injury, bleed
ing, local necrosis, infection, etc. Chapter XII will
present the structure and Chapter XIII the principle of
activation of such a closed circuit. This

e.g., by hydrolysis of ATP and glycolysis during hypoxia.
Over a BCEC this induces later on (upper part) an electro·
posilive, regressing potential accompanied by clcctroosmotic
outflow (El osm) and osmotic inflow (Osm) of water, net
streaming potentials by movement of permeable ions and

ing normal tissue, then different boundary phenomena
must develop in different parts of the circuit. The
peripheral, nonnecro tic part of the tumour will also act
as a sieve for closed circuit transport of ions. Ionic
transports will be interminent both to and from the
abnormal tissue.
The lower part of Fig. XVIII: 2 represents an
electropositive, developing phase (F+)1• This leaves
th~ degrading tumour tis~ue clectro)Xlsitive in relation
to surrounding tissue (upper part), subsequentl y re·
suiting in selective ionic transport (electropositive,
regressing potential), supplementing the one-way
mechanica l transport of materials in vascular and in·
terstitial channels. A constantly unidirectional gradi·
ent of injury potential would be biologically un·
suitable, because injured tissue, like any other tissue,
needs both anions and cations for its structural devel·
opment and function. Therefore a series of electroposi
tive and electronegative, developing and regressing,
anenuating phases during healing of an injury is a
possible (or even neoessary) means of adapting the
transports to the need for a complete composition of
material. Wave-like transformations of energy can be anticipated as counterreactions after any spontaneo us
release of biologic energy. As a result, the system
should decrease its content of free energy and obtain a
higher level of entropy. Evidence also indicates that
the main driving force in the healing of injury is
delivered by the degrading process itself.
An electronegative, developing phase (F-)t is illus
trated in the lower pan of Fig. XVIII: 3. Being the
smallest and most mobile ions, protons have been lost
more rapidly than anions, e.g., phosphate, which rt~
main behind in the tumour. Combined with differ
ences in the rates of ionic production, the changing
concentrations of ions drive the autolyzing tissue in an
electronegative direction ( l l ) compared to sur
rounding tissue. In reality, such mechanism s very like
ly proceed as sequential reactions of several integrated
components, similar to the cascade reactions of coagu
lating blood (Fig. XII: 6). This leaves subsequently
the degrading tumour tissue electronegative, regress
ing in relation tO surrounding tissue, resulting in ionic
transports as indicated in the upper part of Fig.
XVIII: 3. A resulting change of direction of current
over a BCEC should then lead to the accumulation of
nonpcrrneable cations at the outer boundary of the
tumour barrier and nonperrneable anions at the inner
boundary of the tumour barrier.
The presence of VICC will affect ionic transport in
the intravascular branches of the circuit as well as in
the interstitial branches. A rapid and continuous wash
out of the arriving ions can be expected in the supply
ing vessels. Material in the interstitia l branches should
to some extent be influenced by interstitial convection
and lymph flow. It seems likely that material available
in the interstitial fluid should be utilized for restruc
turing in the process of healing. C. Spontaneou s reactions
in BCEC systems
1. Healing of injured tissue
The healing of injury is often associated with the
development of scar tissue, which may represent a
modification of material within a BCEC. At the least,
it is easy to produce scar tissue in normal tissue via
closed circuit currents between electrodes (Chapter
XVI, Sections K, L, M). Fibrosis can regularly be
observed around the electrodes of cardiac pacemakers
which have been in place for months or years. Fibrotic
tissue has electrically insulating properties. When
scarring develops around pacemaker electrodes, their
function can be seriously disturbed.
2. Production of scar tissue, structural
transforrnation of tissue and cells
Of perhaps greater interest are the implications of
the fibrous tissue produced, even in vitro, in fat tissue
after direct current transforms fat cells and interstitial
material (Chapter XVI). The cathodic type of fibrotic
tisst~e lacks fibroblasts. The anodic type of fibrosis con
tains many fibroblasts. The anodic fibrous tissue ap
pears as if involved in the development of primitive
channels resembling ducts and vessels. Other types of
channels are produced in the cathodic field. When
produced in vitro in mammary adipose tissue, the anodic
and cathodic types of fibrosis and ductal structures have a
striking similarity to the histologic appearance of adenoris,
mixed with s~>-cal/ed radial scar tissue (Chapter XVI,

by sequential reactions in the degrading tissue coupled to,

direct current was found to transmogrify red blood cells
into monstrous cells and cell complexes (Fig.

3. Calcificat ions in tissue
The accumulation of calcium in injured tissue is a
particularly common and easily recognized manifesta
tion of transport of permeable ions. Deposition of
calcium is often seen after traumatic bleeding in skin,
muscles, vessels, brain, etc. Calcium is also commonly
deposited in tissue after injuries by heat, chemicals
and microorganisms.
From the foregoing it may be evidem that a tissue
injury potential difference is variable and can therefore
be characterized as follows: electropositive, developing ;
electropositive, regressing; electronegative, developing
and electronegative, regressing.
Fig. XVIII: 4, lower part, illustrates an electronego
tive, regressing tissue injury potential profile (dotted
line). Permeable cations, such as Ca2+ and Mg2~,
will then enter the necrotic region, upper pan of Fig.
XVIII: 4, while permeable anions will leave. The
(F-)1 level of potential will become elevated (elec
tronegative regressing pllasc). Some of the inflowing
cations will recombine with available anions, e.g.,
phosphate. Calcium and magnesium will then eventu
ally precipitate as apatite(*) when the isoelect.ric levels
for these compounds are reached. The events de-scribed subsequently drive the reaction of the injured
tissue in an electropositive developing phase.
The inflow of calcium over a BCEC leads to the
electrical levelling of the previousl y electronegative
region of polarization. In this view, the presence of
calcium localized in previously injured tissue should
be regarded as the result of a reparative process, rather
than as a pan of the development of the primary
disease. Calcinosis reparativa is suggested as an appro
priate, pathogenetically descriptive term.
The "profiles" of electric potential shown in Figs.
XVIII: 2-4, as well as intermediate stages, have all

Many  thousands  of students  have  seen  the Calls  of the
Messengers  answered  with  definite  precision.  Now,  as the
Great  Momentum  of the large  number  of students,  who  in
their  great  loyalty  are joining  in these  Wondrous  Decrees,
the Power  has become  Mighty.  Many  of the things  which
were  thought  to take  place  in the World,  have  not taken
place.  All of you  earnest,  Blessed  Ones,  have  been  a part
of That  Great  Service  in the Mighty  Decrees  which  you
have  issued.  We congratulate  all the students  who  are able
to release  such  a Mighty  Power  of the Ascended  Masters'
Divine  Love  and Blessings,  for It is the Secret  of all things!
The refusal  to accept  or listen  to human  gossip  is the
Open  Door  to solve  your  problems.  There  the Out-pouring
of the Ascended  Masters  Divine  Love  and  Blessing  is the
Open  Door,  to the Out-pouring  from  the Presence,  which
will solve  all things.  We rejoice,  so many  of the students
after,  such  a long  time  and many  repetitions  of This  Instruc-

in their  worlds,  is to refuse  to listen  to or voice  destruction;
send  forth  discordant  qualities;  or even  to allow  them  to act
within  their  feeling.  Then,  as they  pour  out Divine  Love
and Blessings  to all persons,  places,  conditions  and  things,
the Whole  Universe  will  flood  their  worlds  with  money,

June  ig, 1938
DENVER,  COLORADO
Beloved  Students  and  Friends,  while  These  Words  are
spoken  to you  by the Messenger,  it shall  be My Pleasure
to release  approximately  sixty  percent  of those  in the room
from  the most  discordant  accumulation,  which  they  have
drawn  about  themselves  thru  the centuries.
Perhaps  you  do not understand  exactly  what  I mean;
but you have  accumulated  more  or less discord  thruout  the
centuries  and  it is still  about  you.  Few  of the students
have  used  the Violet  Consuming  Flame  with  sufficient  in-
tensity,  to allow  the Great  Presence  to have  dissolved  their
human  accumulation  completely.  Tonight,  I shall  en-
deavor  to finish  that for many  of you.
Since  your  sincerity,  since  your  stand  for the Light  in
Denver  has been  so unusual,  then  shall  your  reward  come
in your  own  release;  and those  for whom  it is accomplished,
will feel it without  question  within  a few days.
Therefore,  tonight,  will  you  be kind  enough  to accept
the Radiance  poured  forth  to you,  about  you  and  in your
feeling  world,  to render  This  Service ? Remember,  this is at
the Call  of your  Own  Life.  There  is but One  Power  in the
Universe  to act and  It is your  own  Life!  We  are a Part
of That  One  Great  Life  more  in advance  than  you.  Having
306 DISCOURSE  XXII  307
set Ourselves  Free  ages  ago,  We are in a position  to help
mankind  today,  and the need  is imperative!
Therefore,  during  this class,  the Greatest  Work  has gone
on of any  class  of the Messengers.  We  congratulate  you
on your  harmonized  feeling,  on your  Love  and  Out-pour-
ing, which  makes  this  possible;  for outside  of the Direct
Attention  to the Great  Presence  of Life,  your  Harmony
is the most  important  thing.  If you but knew  it, It is the Key
to all things.
In all We  have  experienced  and  are observing  among
mankind  today,  I marvel  Individuals  have  not seen  in the
terrific  experiences  they  have  passed  thru,  that  it is their
inharmony,  which  is producing  all the  limitations  and
discord  for them.  The  human  self  has so long  attempted
to hold  its dominion,  that  it refuses  with  stubborn  resist-
ance,  to accept  Its Presence  of Life,  which  would  set it Free
so quickly.  So, tonight,  according  to your  acceptance,  may
you have  This  Great  Blessing  enfold  you.  Beloved  Children
of the Light,  in the Service  which  We are rendering  to the
Earth,  it is an Eternally  Sustained  Activity  always!  There  is
no thing,  no action  which  We start,  that  We do not sustain,
until  its Full  Achievement.  Therefore,  as you  have  been
drawn  into  this Class  Room,  by the Light  within  your  own
Heart,  then  you  are to a definite  degree,  filled  with  Suffi-
cient  Light  to draw  this  which  will  bless  you.  It is always
your  own  Light  which  acts;  but as you call,  as the Messen-
gers call,  and  the Full  Force  of Our  Assistance  comes  into
action,  all resistance  recedes,  dissolves  and  disappears! 333 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
Therefore,  in the people's  lack  of understanding,  they
have  endeavored  to govern  and  bring  each  other  into  sub-
mission  and  under  each  other's  domination;  creating  all
kinds  of discord  under  which  they  had  to live.  When  you
understand,  you  have  the Great  Presence  of Life  to turn  to,

 linked to
fluctuations in sex hormones.92 Since studies have linked the onset of panicsymptoms with heightened sensitivity to blood CO2, it make s sense that the
hyperventilation, which occurs at certain points in the menstrual cycle, may
produce cyclic exacerbations of anxiety. When all the connections between
hyperventilation, hormones, and panic disorder are taken togeth er, it makes
sense that sex hormones could contribute to anxiety in women. One recent
paper concluded that it is impor tant for future research to study anxiety in
females so that results can be more accurate and applicable to women.91
WOMEN’S HORMONES AND SPOR TING PERFORMANCE
Another conside ration when exploring the topic of breathing in terms of
gender is the impact of sex hormones and anatomical factors on physical
exercise. It is known that while  women are capable of outstand ing athletic
achievement, they generally have to work harder to breathe during intensive
exercise than men.93,94
A 2020 study demonstrated that gender affects the respiratory aspects of
physical exercise. The research team hypothesized that the smaller airways
in females, when compared with the airways of height-matched males,
produced more turbulent airflow during exercise. Turbulent airflow causes
the air molecules to move in different directions, much like water bubbling
round pebbles in a running stream. This creates more resistance, making
breathing more dif ficult.94
Five women and six men took part in the trial, during which they each
performed two exercise tests, gradually intensifying their workout on a
stationary cycle until they reached maximum intensity. During the tests,
participants breathed through a mouthpiece, inhaling either norm al room air
or a mixture of oxygen and helium. Respiratory effort was monitored via a
small tube inser ted into the nose and throat. In this experiment, the helium
mix was designed to mimic the lower levels of resistance in the larger male
airways. The helium mixture was less dense than the room air and moved in
a more direct manner, with all the molecules flowing in the same
direction.94 This is called laminar airflow.
The results showed that wome n breathed much more air when they
inhaled the helium and oxygen  mix, but this change in breathing volume
was not accompanied by an increase in the work of breath ing. Whenbreathing room air, the female participants had to breathe much harder than
the men to overcome the turbulent resistance. When they breathed the
helium and oxygen mix, the airflow was more laminar, and there was no
difference betwe en the males and females in ventilatory exertion. The study
concluded that smaller airways  increase turbulent flow and that is why
women have to breathe harder during exercise.94
In an article in Neur oscience News, Paolo Dominelli, who was on the
research team for the study, explained,
At rest, the rate of air flow is very low, so even though women have
smaller airways  than men, air flow is still laminar. As exercise
intensity increases, you breathe faster, and at some point the airflow
goes from laminar to turbulent. Air flow in men’ s airways will also
eventually turn from laminar to turbulent, but this requires a higher
rate of air flow than is required in women.93
It is important to understand that while the differences shown  in this
study relate to size and gender, with men typically having larger airways,
airway size varies significantly between individuals.93 For instance, people
of both sexes who have set-back jaws or other craniofacial abnormalities
caused by child hood mouth breathing, pacifier use, tongue-tie, and other
factors will have  smaller airways in adulthood, leading to a lifetime of sleep
problems and reduced athletic ability.
Other difference s may also have an impact on sporting perform ance in
women. In 1993, a review published in Sports Medicine  examined the
impact of sex hormone fluctuations, due to the natural menstru al cycle and
use of oral contraceptives, on the performance of female athletes.95
Previous research had reported that the best days for athletic performance
were generally those immediate ly after menstruation and the worst were in
the premenstrua l stage and the first few days of menstrual flow. However,
those studies were limited by lack of accuracy as to where in the cycle the
women were.
There was also an inherent bias, because many of the women  already
associated premenstrual symptoms such as weight gain, mood swings, and
fluid retention with poor perform ance. Their perception of performance was
therefore already less positive at that point in the cycle. Those premenstrualsymptoms have  also been linked with an increase in musculoskeletal
injuries during the premenstrua l and menstrual phases. In the days before
menstruation, women were shown to experience compromis ed reaction
time, neuromuscular coordination, dexterity, and judgment, but other
potential confou nding factors such as nutrition, blood sugar levels, and
hyperventilation may cloud these findings.
Swimmers demonstrated worse performance times during the
premenstrual phase and better times during menstruation and on the eighth
day of the cycle. The women’ s perception of exertion during very intense
exercises increa sed premenstru ally and during the first few days of
menstruation.95 In cross-country skiers, the best performance times were
recorded in the days just after ovulation and immediately following
menstruation. To get the most out of training, loads should be adjusted for
female athletes to account for changes during the menstrual cycle.
Studies using estradiol and progesterone levels to determine where a
woman was in her cycle did not find any marked differences across the 28
days in response to either maximal or less intensive exercise, though a small
decrease in aerobic capacity was observed during the luteal phase.
However, in 2003, it was confirmed that breathing capacity was much
higher in men than women1. During the follicular phase of the cycle,
ventilation, tidal volume, and peak inspiratory flow were 21% lower in
women during wakefulness and 22% lower during sleep. At the same time,
no difference was found between men and women in blood flow to the
respiratory musc les during exercise or rest, or during different phases of the
menstrual cycle.95
A 2019 study investigated the effects of the menstrual cycle on running
economy.96 Eleven female athletes were assessed for oxygen consumption
and blood gas exchange at rest and while running. Scientists concluded that
gas exchange during exercise is better in the luteal phase than the follicular
phase but that this is independent of running speed. It was also
demonstrated that the menstrual  cycle has no effect on body composition or
physiological variables at rest.96
Again, research into this area is sparse. Perhaps most relevant to female
athletes is knowing that hyperv entilation is likely during the luteal phase,
between ovulati on and menstruation. By paying attention to the breath,working to normalize breathing volume, and reducing sensitivit y to CO2, it
should be possible to moderate these naturally occurring phasic differences
in breathing.
Another point worth mentioning is that, in extreme circumstances,
women’ s sportin g ambitions can impact their health and hormones in an
unhealthy way. Excessive runni ng or training places considerable stress on
the body. This can cause an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system,
affect the immu ne response, and put strain on the heart. When bodyweight
and body mass index fall too low, estrogen will drop, and this can result in a
lack of bone mineral density. Just as menopause is a risk factor for
osteoporosis (something we explore in the next chapter), so is any condition
that causes estrogen production  to decline, because estrogen inhibits bone
resorption.97 Estroge n is a primary hormonal regulator of bone metabolism
in women and men.98
When estrogen drops too low, fertility is impacted and menstruation
ceases. This is the same for women with eating disorders. In fact, eating
disorders and obsessive exercis e combine to form the basis of a specific
condition called  relative energy deficiency in sport, or REDS. This can be
an easy trap to fall into, especially for women with perfecti onist, high-
achieving person alities. If you feel your running is becoming obsessive and
weight loss is tipping over into an eating disorder, it is importa nt to speak
with a specialist as soon as you can.
In an article for the UK website Momentum Sports, endurance runner
Katherine Wood writes openly about her 10-year battle with anorexia
nervosa and REDS.99 Wood was a competitive runner and swimmer as a
child and teenager, but as she went through puberty, she struggled to
balance her nutritional input with the energy output required in her training.
She rapidly transitioned from unintentional weight loss to full-blown
anorexia that left her in hospital. Her periods stopped.
As her running  career progressed, Wood pushed herself harder and
further. She achieved succes s after success. But she was training
compulsively, ignoring injuries and signs that her health was failing, and
losing weight fast. She began to have repeated bacterial infections on the
skin of her legs. Blood tests returned signs that her muscles were starting tobreak down, but she experienced a sense of failure if she didn’ t keep up her
intensive training.
Eventually, she

"18 — That such a state resists and repels the assaults of all morbific influences and is
therefore the best protective against disease;
"19 — That vaccination has utterly failed to fulfill the promises made for it by Jenner
and his followers and that he saddled a legacy of disease and death upon the race for
which he was paid $150,000 by the British government;
"20 — That compulsory vaccination ranks with human slavery and religious
persecution, as one of the most flagrant outrages upon the rights of the human race."
"21 — That Switzerland, England, Australia and other enlightened countries abolished
compulsory vaccination after it was tested and proved to be disastrous; but laws
sanctioning this crime still disgrace the statute books of "free" America.
"22 — That reforms are not made by those who profit by them so the doctors or the
government cannot be depended upon to abolish vaccination of their own volition; that
the people, themselves, must rise up and make demands for freedom from this curse of
greed, ignorance and destruction, for only then can we hope to see the light of a new day
of health, progress and harmonious adjustment.CHAPTER II
SMALLPOX DECLINED BEFORE V ACCINATION WAS ENFORCED
"To mistake inferences or axioms for facts has been a curse of science."—Sir Clifford Albutt, in "Nature."
The simple fact that we have less smallpox now than we did 200 years ago, does not in
any degree prove that vaccination caused this decline, although the promoters of
vaccination have taken upon themselves the full credit for this improvement.
The most noticeable decrease in smallpox and other zymotic diseases began with the
sanitation reforms just prior to 1800 and the improvement in nutrition brought about by
such health crusaders as Trail, Graham and Jennings around 1840.
THIS SANITATION AND HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM included: (1)
Sewage disposal, (2) cleaning of streets, back yards, stables, etc., (3) improvement of
roads so that fresh vegetables, milk and other vital foods could be transported rapidly to
the cities and distributed while still fresh. (4) The water supply was improved and
protected from contamination. (5) Housing projects were built out in the suburbs to
relieve congestion of population in the cities.
THE NUTRITIONAL TEACHINGS stressed natural whole grain bread instead of white
bread, fresh fruits and vegetables free from salt, sugar, chemicals and other harmful
preservatives and the rejection of coffee, tea, alcohol, tobacco, drugs and other drastic
poisons. Meat and other low grade proteins were denounced in favor of nuts, beans and
other such proteins with more health value and less toxic effects.
The age-old "terror diseases" such as plague, black death, cholera, etc., that were
previously believed to be contagious, responded at once to this health program and soon
declined to the vanishing point in countries that adopted the sanitation and nutrition
improvements. They are diseases of nutritional deficiency and imbalance just the same
as all other diseases.
A glance at the following table of official statistics from England and Wales shows us
how smallpox deaths declined only after the people began their opposition to the
vaccination law and an ever increasing number refused to be vaccinated.
CHART SHOWING DECREASE IN SMALLPOX DEATHS AFTER DECLINE OF
V ACCINATION
Period -                Percentage of Births Vaccinated Smallpox Deaths
1872-1881   96.5                                          3,708.3
1882-1891   82.1                                             933.0
1892-1901  67.9                                             436.5
1902-1911  67.6                                             395.3
1912-1921  42.3                                               12.21922-193 1  43.1                                                25.0

Here we see that at the time when nearly all (96.5%) of the babies were vaccinated,
smallpox caused almost 4,000 deaths in that 10 year period; but, when the vaccinations
were resisted until only 39% would submit to it, the death-rate dropped down to only 1.4
cases.
Before the passage of England’s compulsory vaccination law in 1853, the highest
authentic smallpox death-rate was only 2,000 for any two year period, even during their
most serious smallpox epidemics; whereas, after almost 20 years of compulsory
vaccination there occurred the most devastating scourge of smallpox in 1870 to 1871
that the world has ever known. It took 23,062 lives in England and Wales and spread
over Europe in all the countries where vaccination and inoculation had been practiced on
a large scale. After that the vaccination laws were enforced even more rigidly until the
people began to notice that smallpox was not decreasing by this practice but continued
to ravage the homes of the vaccinated. During the same epidemic in Germany 124,948
people died of smallpox. All had been vaccinated (according to their carefully kept
records.) "In Berlin alone no less that 17,038 persons had smallpox after vaccination,
and 2,884 of them died."
In Sheffield, England where 97 per cent of her 200,000 inhabitants had been thoroughly
and frequently vaccinated for many years a smallpox epidemic swept the city in 1887
that caused 7,101 cases and 648 deaths.
Preceding this, the large manufacturing town of Leicester, (England) which had been
even more thoroughly vaccinated up to the time of the 1870 epidemic was the hardest hit
of all the communities with over 3,500 deaths per million in the first year of the
epidemic. This completely destroyed their faith in vaccination and the rich and poor
alike rejected it and adopted sanitation with the result that smallpox epidemics were
soon eliminated from that city.
STATEMENTS OF HEALTH OFFICIALS REGARDING V ACCINATED SMALLPOX
Sir Thomas Chambers, Q.C.M.P., recorder of the city of London said:
"I find that of the 155 persons admitted to the Smallpox Hospital in the Parish of St.
James, Piccadilly, 145 had been vaccinated."
In Marylevore Hospital 92 per cent of the smallpox cases had been vaccinated.
Marson’s report of Highgate Hospital for 1871 states that, "of the 950 cases of smallpox,
870 (90%) of the whole number of patients had been vaccinated."
At Hempstead Hospital, up to May 13, 1884, out of 2,965 admissions for smallpox,
2,347 had been vaccinated.
After these vaccination epidemics, more and more people refused to comply with the
unjust vaccination laws and as a result of this and the improvements in sanitation and nutrition, smallpox took a drop and continued to decline until it is rarely seen at the
present time.
"In 1942 one case of smallpox at Seindon (Britain) resulted in the vaccination of a large
number of people. Only three cases of smallpox occurred and these all recovered, but 12
vaccinated individuals died from inflammation of the brain. (This is a common after
effect of vaccination.) In the same year near Edinburg, Scotland, eight people died of
smallpox (six of which had been vaccinated) while  ten died from the effects of the
vaccination..
"I would not go so far as to say that vaccination has never saved a person from
smallpox. It is a matter of record that thousands of the victims of this superstitious rite
have been saved from smallpox by the  immunizing potency  of death. But it is a fact
that the official statistics of England and Wales show unmistakably that, while
vaccination has killed ten times more people than smallpox, there has been a decrease in
smallpox concomitant with the decrease in vaccination... It might be appropriately
asked, in the words of the  Vaccination Inquirer  (London, Feb. 1947) ‘How could an
operation that was declining be responsible for the extermination of smallpox?" ( Vaccine
and Serum Evils, p. 23, by Dr. H. M. Shelton)
UNV ACCINATED DISEASES DECLINED FASTER THAN V ACCINATED
SMALLPOX
Records in all countries show that the so-called,  contagious diseases declined quite
rapidly with the introduction of sanitation and nutrition reforms, with the exception
of smallpox and diphtheria which were kept active by vaccination in a large number of
authenticated cases. The following condensed records from various countries give a
cross section of the available evidence that bears out this point.
REPORT FROM BRITISH INDIA
In 1929 while India was still under British rule with its compulsory vaccination laws,
the League of Nations’ Health League  referred to India as, "the greatest center of
smallpox in the world today." The records show that in the large cities where vaccination
enforcement was most rigid "the smallpox death rate has been generally far greater than
for the country as a whole" where complete enforcement is not possible.
The report of the  League of Nations’ Health Division  for Oct. 1953 reluctantly admits
vaccination is not all it ought to be when
