 will tighten the blood vessels in
this organ. When the kidneys are damaged and urine production is insufficient, the RA system is more active. It promotes more
salt intake and induces more thirst. Kidney damage may be the consequence of long-term dehydration and salt
depletion that had triggered the RA sy stem activity in the first place. But we have not in the past recognized the
significan ce of the vascul ar tightening (essen tial hype rtension) as an indicator of body's flu id loss. Now, i nsufficient
fluid balance in the body may have to be considered as the primary factor in som e cases of renal damage—to the
point of needing kidney replacement. Once the RA sy stem is turned fully ON, it continues its expanding pace until a
natural switching system could turn it off. The components of the natural OFF switch are WATER and so me SALT
—in that order—until the mea surable vascul ar tightening indicates  a normal range. The salivary glands se em to have the ability to sense salt shortage in the body. When there is sodium shortage,
they see m to produce substances called kinins. Kinins promote added bl ood circul ation and  increased sali va
formation in the salivary glands. This i ncreas ed saliva formati on (possibly to the extent that it would flow out of the
mouth) serves two purposes: On e, it lubricates the mouth during food intake in a dehydrated state of the body; two,
its alkaline consistency and copious flo w will assist in food breakdown and its eventual evacuation from the
stomach. Within the integrated systems of the human body, the kinins of the salivary gland seem to also trigger
activation of the RA sy stem that will begin to influence all parts of the body. Thus, sodium (salt) shortage in the body (which wou ld also contribute to devastating water shortage outside of cel ls)
could initiate a series of events that would ultimately produce essen tial hype rtension and chronic pains in humans. The relationship of the salivary kinins to sodium depletion (salt depletion causes body water content loss) and ample
saliva production, even if the body is fai rly dehydrated, is the paradox in the natural design of the human body. It
exposes the grossest error in considering the "dry mouth" as the sole indicator of water shortage in humans! Because of this very simple error, the practice of medicine and scientific research are light years off course. Much
backtracking and revision to the already adopted views will be unavoidable. Let us hope "self protection" will not be
an obstacle in the way! What happens if w e drink tea, coffee, or colas in place of water? Natural stimulants in coffee and tea are larger
quantities of caffeine and lesser  amounts of theophylline (theafelin). These are central nervous system stim ulants;
at the same time, they a re deh ydrating agents because of their  strong diur etic ac tion on th e kidneys. One cup of
coffee contains about 85 milligrams of caffeine, and one cup of tea contains about 50 milligrams of caff eine. Cola
drinks co ntain about 50 milligrams o f caffeine, part of which is added to standardize the recipe when extracting the
active substances from the nuts of Cok ac cuminata. These central nervous sy stem stimulants liberate energy from the ATP sto rage pool and convert ATP to  its burnt
stage of cyclic AMP in the cells—at certain levels a strong inhibitory agent. They also release energy from liberation
of calcium from its sto red form in the cells. Th us, caffeine seems to act in an energy releasing capacity in the body. We all know about this final effect of caff eine; wha t we should also know is its override effect when the body d oes
not wish to release energy for a cert ain action. In this way, the ac tion of some hormon es and t ransmitters w ill not be
limited at a later time because of a possib le lower level of stored energy. Caffeine will cause an override effect until
a lower level of energy sto rage is reached. Cola drinks have ex actly th e same effect. The effect of caffeine may at times be considered desirable, but constant substituting of caffeine-containi ng drinks
for water will deprive the body of its full capacity for the formation of hydroelectric energy. Excess caff eine will also
deplete the ATP-sto red energy in the brain and the body—a possible contributing factor for shorter attention span in
the younger, cola-consuming generation, or chronic fatigue syndrome as a result of excess coffee consumption In
later life. Excess caffeine intake will eventually exhaust the heart muscle because of its over-stimulation. Recently, in some experimental models, it has been shown that caffeine inhibits a most important enzyme system—
PDE (phos-pho-di-esterase)—that is involved in the process of learning and memory development. In reported
experiments, ca ffeine impaired vision and memory components of the learning ability in the species involved in the
experiment. You must now realize why people with Alzheimer's dispase and children with learning disability should not drink
anything other than water. Definitely no caffeine-containing beverages should be consumed. Let us now connect all the information in this chapter with two different but related problems: hypertension and
cholesterol formation—both leading to heart problems. The operating mechanism for adaptation to dehydration, which will climax into vasoco nstriction, are the sam e as
mentioned for stress. Namely, the continued actions of vasopressin and the RA system are responsible for
establishing the necessary adaptation to drought. They clo se a number of open capillaries in the vascular bed and
increase the pressur e/in the rest to squeeze water through the membranes into the cells in "priority organs." Do not
forget: Dehydration is the number one stressor of the human body—or any living matter.HIGH BL OOD PRESSURE
"Physicia ns think they are doing something for you by labeling -what you have as a disease." Imma nuel Ka nt
High blood pressure (essential hypertension) is the result of an adaptive process to a gross body water deficiency. The vessels of the body have been designed to cope with the fluctuation of their blood volume and tissue
requirements by opening and closing different vessels. When the total fluid volume in the body is decreased, the
main vessels also have to decrease their aperture (close their lumen); otherwise there would not be enough fluid to
fill all the space allocated to blood volume in the design of that particular body.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        The first time I set eyes on the young man was at eleven one evening in the summer of 1980. He was in such pain
that he was almost se miconscious. He was lyin g folded in the fetal position on the floor of his room. He was
groaning steadily, unaware of his environment and the worried people around him. When I talked to him, he did not
respond. He was n ot communicating with those around him. I had to shake him to get a response. I asked him wha t was the matter. He groaned, "My ulcer is killing me. " I asked him how long he had had the pain. He said his pain started at one in the afternoon, immediately after his lunch. The pain increased in intensity a s time
passed. I asked him what he had done to get relief and if he had taken any medication. He replied that he had taken
three tablets of cim etidine and one whole bottle of antacid during this time. He indicated that he got absolutely no
relief, even with this amount of medication, in the ten hours sin ce his pain first started. When so much medication cannot relieve the pain of peptic ulcer disease, one automatically becomes suspicious of
"acute abdomen," som ething that might possibly need surgical exploration. Maybe his ulcer had perforated. I had
seen and assiste d in the operation of patients with perforated peptic ulcers. Those persons were devastated—very
much like the young man before me. The test is very sim ple; such patients develop a very rigid abdominal wall,
almost like a wooden board. I felt for the rigidity of the wall of the abdomen in this young man. Fortunately, he hadnot perforated. His a bdominal wall was soft, but tender from the pain. He was lucky he had not perforated, although
if he had continued like this, the acid would have punched a hole through his now inflamed ulcer. The arsenal of medications in such circumsta nces is very limited. Three cimetidine tablets of 300 milligrams each
and one full bottle of antacid could not relieve the pain. Often, such cases would end on the operating table of a
knife-happy surgeon. Because of my extensive experience with the pain-relieving property of water in dyspeptic
pains, I gave this man two full glasses o f water—one pint. At first he was reluctant to drink the water. I told him he
had taken the usual medications without any re sult. He should now try "my medication" for this disease. He had no
choice. He was i n severe pain and did not know w hat to do about it. I sat in a corner and observed him for a few
minutes. I had to leave the room, and whe n I returned in about fifteen minutes, his pain had become less severe and his
groans sto pped. I gave him


 as
has been suggested, is threefold: to delay the man, accelerate the
woman, and prolong and intensify pleasure for both. The various
techniques of coitus were developed with these goals in n1ind. When we borrow from this art for the tnodern bedrootn, it

can reward then1sclv cs with son1e advanct ·d lovernaking. Good
lovers can give unbelievable sexual pleasure to their part ners. A
nun can bring a wonun to a series of "little deaths" in the fonn of
rnultiplc orgasn1s, or to an intense, "flower ht·art," or cervical,
org asrn. A won1. 1n not only can cooper ate with her partner to en

without pushing hi an over the brink; she can even seize the initia

possibilitil's, they n1ust investigate an even n1orl' basic aspect of
lovcnuking-physical con1patibility. COI TAL FIT
Sorne cou ples arc unaware that n1crc genital incompatibility, es
pecially discrepancy in size, n1ay be the reason for their sexual
problcn1s. Anthropologists tell us that human beings have the
largest brains and genitals a1nong the primates. The average length
of an erect hun1an penis is 6 inches, or 15 centimeters. The aver
age depth of the human vagina is 4 inches, or 1 o centimeters. This
difference is not a problen1 in itself, as the vagina is clastic and in
intercourse the degree of penetration varies. Difficulties arise, however, when there is a marked discre
pancy of genital size betw een partners. Unless care is used, for in
stance, too long a penis or too shallow a vagina could mean pain
and injury to a woman in the heat of passion. On the other hand, a
small penis may give pleasure to neither partner. In extreme cases,
violent penetration by a long penis may lacerate the vaginal vault
and induce life-threatening internal bleeding. Unless a woman
has a loose vagina, literally speaking, too long a penis is a curse
rather than a blessing for her. Writers of crude pornography the world over extol enormous
penises, as if a woman's sexual pleasure were in direct proportion
to the length of her partner's organ. If so, a donkey would be a
better lover than any hu1nan n1alc. In more sophisticated erotic lit
erature, genital size is scldon1 a matter tor concern. And in prac
tice, in fact, there arc "remedies" for disproportion. To prevent
injury to partners, Frcnchn1en with undesirably long organs usc
bourn·lcts, small thick cushions with a hole in the center which arc
tied with ribbons to the hip s. Perhaps partly because of their char -ANC IENT SECRE TS FO R MODEI �N LOVEHS
acteristic slenderness, the Chinese consider a very long penis a
disadvantage, and a large clitoris repulsive. The ancient Taoist
sexologists valued skill over equipment, and art over skill. As the
n1agician says, it is not the size of the wand, but the magic in it. Coital fit can be in1proved to a large extent by choosing an
appropriate position for copulation, as shown later in this chapter. Furthermor e, size should not be the focus. It is not phallic size
but phallic performance, proven through the durability of the
erection, and orgasmic brinkmanship that arc essential for sexual
pleasure. ORGASMIC BRINK MANSHIP
Talk of sexual pleasure is much ado about nothing, if in coitus a
n1an ejaculates soon after insertion. Here, as we have seen, the an
cient Chinese techniques of male delaying or withholding are of
in1mense value. First a quick look at the physiology of orgasm. During love
play and coitus, if physical and psychological stimulation con
tinue and intensify, the sexual tension in either or both partners
mounts until it is suddenly discharged. This sexual release is or
gasn1, also known as clin1ax or coming. It norn1ally lasts only a
few seconds, during which an individual undergoes involuntary
n1uscular contractions, experiences ecstatic pleasure, and becomes
oblivious to external surroundings. The French have an apt nan1e
for this sexual lightning: Ia petite mort (the little death). Male and female orgastns arc not exactly the san1e. In a n1an,
orgasn1 is genitally oriented, explosive, and altnost ahvays acconl
panied by an cjandation of sen 1e11. In a \VOnlan, it is a n1ore dif
fuse. cerebral event, usu�11ly without t:iaculation. Ma ny \VOnlcn,
however. etnit a fluid front the urethra when they are deeply stitn
ulated. The nun's t�jarulation nonnally detnolishcs his erection
and thus tentporarily pn. 'Vt'nts continued copulation. His crt·ction
will return tninutes l. lttT if he is young and potent, but hours or
�:vcn days later if he is older or kss potent. A won tan. with the
rapacity t"llr ntultiplc orgasnts within a short tinte, usually has no
such worry. Herein lies. 1 potential probkn1 t"l)r a couplt·. And it
was this very problent that inspired ancient Taoists, who prided
thcntsdves in pleasing \\'onten sexually, to devise the trick of
org astni c brink nunsh ip. The 111cchanisn1 of rnall' L:iaculat ion is quite complex. When a
rnan reacht•s orgasrn, invo luntary rnuscks of the prostate, serninal
ducts, and St'rninal reservoirs begin a series of contractions, torc
ing tht' fluids they contain into the urethra. The man has reached
a stage that Mast ers and Johnson call '\jaculatory inevitabi lity":
at this point t:iaculation cannot he stopped. Contractions in the
urethra and prostate now tl. )rce the sen1en out of the penis. The ancient Taoist s consider ed this proce ss not always inevi
table, and beca use they belie ved that rnost if not all bodily pro
cesses were aftl. ·cted by the n1ind, they set out to find a way to stop
or delay it. They devised a nun1bcr of n1ind-body techn iques to
arrest the ejaculation of scn1en, just before the point of "inevita
bility" was reached. Since orgasn1 and ejaculation involve mostly
the autonornic nervous systern and involuntary muscles, a man
n1t1st deliberately usc his n1ind to train his nervous system to in
fluence his body. When he has mastered the technique, a man can
delay ejaculation during sexual intercourse or, if he wants to, avoid
ejaculation altogether. Mentally, the technique of orgasmic brinkmanship involves a
relaxed approach, deliberate distraction from sexual sensations,
and willpower not to ejaculate. Physically, it requires unhurried,
shallow thrustings; deep breathing; a slowdown, pause, or com
plete withdrawal when sensations mount


the	constant	grip	and	torture	of	their	minds. Often,	I	pass	by	a	man	on	Shop
Street	in	Galway. He	is	so	tormented	that	he	openly	voices	the	contents	of	his
mind	in	the	street. His	mind	has	completely	taken	him	over. He	is	pressed
down	with	thought. He	is	depressed. Many	of	us	are	similar	to	the	man	on	the	street,	except	that	we	don’t	talk	out
loud. Instead,	we	have	internal	mental	chatter. We	think	about	the	same	thing
day	in	and	day	out,	with	little	resolve	or	reduction	in	thinking. Watch	your
thoughts	and	you	will	have	no	doubt	that	the	Western	human	mind	is	truly
mad. Thinking	for	practical	purposes	is	fine,	as	it	serves	a	function. However,	most
of	our	thinking	is	not	for	practical	purposes. Most	thinking	is	spent	on	insane
repetitive	worry	and	anxiety. If	you	could	eliminate	your	repetitive	thought	activity	by	50%,	you	would	be
very	happy	indeed. If	you	could	eliminate	all	repetitive	and	useless	thinking,
you	would	live	a	life	of	bliss. Thinking	makes	you	unhappy. Less	thought	activity	makes	you	happy. Thinking	is	a	disease. Control	your	mind	or	allow	your	mind	to	control	you

H
uman	thinking	began	tens	of	thousands	of	years	ago. It	is	the	single	most
important	function	that	differentiates	our	ability	from	animals. Thinking	is	very	useful	for	practical	situations. We	need	to	remember	how	to
drive	a	car,	decide	what	choice	to	take,	determine	a	strategy,	plan	an	event,
deal	with	a	specific	situation. You	might	want	to	go	to	the	shop-	you	think
about	what	foods	are	not	in	the	cupboard. You	organize	flights-	you	think
about	best	dates,	price	and	destination. You	write	a	letter-	you	think	about
what	you	need	to	say. You	go	to	petrol	pumps	to	fill	your	car-	you	decide	on
what	pump,	how	much	money	to	spend. You	contact	a	supplier	you	think
about	what	you	need,	what	quantities,	what	price	and	when	it	will	be
delivered. Somebody	might	have	overcharged	you	decide	on	what	you	are
going	to	say	and	you	say	it	to	them. Thinking	when	used	in	this	instance	for
practical	purposes	is	fine. It	is	necessary	and	is	productive. However,	95%	of	our	thinking	is	not	used	to	deal	with	a	practical	situation. Most	thinking	is	unnecessary	and	repetitive. You	will	realize	this	as	you
observe	the	activity	of	your	mind. You	are	walking	in	a	beautiful	quiet	park	and	instead	of	experiencing	the	sun
at	the	back	of	your	head,	the	beautiful	sight	of	flowers	around	you	and	the
wonderful	sounds	of	children	at	play,	your	attention	is	wrapped	up	giving	out
about	your	neighbor	who	gave	you	a	lecture	yesterday,	or	your	boss	who	was
unhappy	with	your	work,	or	the	other	driver	who	blew	the	horn	at	you,	or	that
you	need	to	pay	your	mortgage	at	the	end	of	the	month. This	kind	of	thinking
is	torture. It	does	nothing	to	help	your	situation. It	does	nothing	to	help	you. Continuously	thinking	like	this	will	drive	you	into	depression. You	are	not	only	driving	yourself	insane,	you	are	missing	out	on	the	wonders
that	life	has	to	offer	you. Quietening	the	mind
R
egardless	of	the	extent	to	which	thoughts	have	taken	over,	everyone	has
the	capacity	to	take	back	control	of	his	or	her	mind. A	still	mind	is	just
covered	up	with	mental	noise;	therefore,	anything	that	helps	to	de-clutter	your
mind	will	allow	stillness	to	resurface. Your	choice	is	to	keep	running	the	thoughts	through	your	head	and	experience
the	consequences,	or	become	a	good	gardener	of	your	mind,	root	out	the
weeds	and	allow	only	the	flowers	to	grow. A	sleeping	gardener	is	not	attentive
and	will	soon	have	a	jungle	of	weeds. A	good	gardener	is	awake. He	knows
exactly	what	is	happening	and	will	guard	his	territory	with	a	keen	eye,
removing	the	weeds	as	soon	as	the	first	shoots	appear. Be	a	good	gardener	of	your	mind. A	mind	that	is	being	observed	is	an
unsuitable	environment	for	anxiety	and	depression	to	take	root. Both	require	a
lack	of	awareness	as	a	suitable	breeding	ground. A	still	mind	enables	us	to	relate	far	better	to	life	and	to	live	life	instead	of
paying	attention	to	useless	thinking. No	longer	is	so	much	of	our	energy
wasted	on	harmful	escapades	and	we	can	instead	focus	with	better
concentration	on	what	we	truly	choose. Although	learning	how	to	take	back
control	of	our	mind	is	very	simple,	just	like	the	good	gardener,	attention	is
required. Do	you	want	to	live	a	life	free	from	worry	and	unhappiness. The	next	section	lists	simple	self-help	breathing	and	awareness	practices	that
deal	with	the	physiological	and	psychological	aspects	of	depression,	anxiety
and	stress. Thinking	for	practical	situations	is	useful. Thinking	that	is
repetitive	and	unnecessary	is	a	hindrance. Chapter	2

	The	Buteyko	Method

T
he	Buteyko	Method	was	developed	in	the	1950s	by	Russian	doctor
Konstantin	Buteyko. His	method	has	been	practiced	by	hundreds	of	thousands
of	people	for	a	variety	of	conditions	including	asthma,	blood	pressure,
sleeping	difficulties,	anxiety,	stress,	panic	attacks	and	depression. As	a	young	doctor,	Buteyko	spent	many	months	sitting	at	sick	patients’
bedsides	observing	their	states	of	health. He	noticed	that	each	person’s
breathing	got	heavier	as	his	or	her	health	deteriorated. As	their	illnesses	advanced,	he	saw	that	his	patients	breathing	movements
from	their	chests	and	tummies	increased,	that	their	breathing	became	more
audible,	that	their	breaths	became	faster	and	that	they	sighed	more	and
breathed	through	their	mouths. In	time,	he	was	able	to	predict	the	onset	of
death	just	by	observing	their	breathing. This	raised	a	fundamental	question	for	Buteyko:	was	it	his	patients’	sickness
that	contributed	to	their	heavy	breathing	or	was	it	their	heavy	breathing	that
contributed	to	their	sickness. At	the	time,	Buteyko	suffered	from	severe	hypertension	that	was	going	from
bad	to	worse. He	began	experimenting	by	breathing	less	and	quietening	his
breathing. Within	a	short	while,	the	pains	that	he	had	experienced	for	months
went	away. Over	the	following	decades,	Buteyko	extensively	researched	this	subject	and
had	a	dedicated	laboratory	to	further	his	findings. His	method	was	brought	to
the	West	in	1990	and	is	now	taught	in	many	countries. Breathing,	such	a	vital	factor	for	life,	must	meet	certain	conditions. Severe
over	breathing	can	be	fatal	if	sustained	over	a	short	period. Therefore,	it	is
plausible	to	accept	that	negative	health	effects	will	result	from	less	severe	but
still	excessive	breathing	over	a	long	period. Normal

44,	45
	claiming
that	chronic	infection	with	hepatitis	B	virus	(HBV)	was	the	major	risk	factor
for	human	liver	cancer. It	was	thought	that	people	who	remained	chronically
infected	with	HBV	had	twenty	to	forty	times	the	risk	of	getting	liver	cancer. Over	the	years,	considerable	research	had	been	done	on	how	this	virus
causes	liver	cancer. 46
	In	effect,	a	piece	of	the	virus	gene	inserts	itself	into	the
genetic	material	of	the	mouse	liver	where	it	initiates	liver	cancer. When	this	is
done	experimentally	the	animals	are	considered
transgenic. Virtually	all	of	the	research	done	in	other	laboratories	on	HBV	transgenic
mice—and	there	was	a	lot	of	it—was	done	primarily	to	understand	the
molecular	mechanism	by	which	HBV	worked. No	attention	was	given	to
nutrition	and	its	effect	on	tumor	development. I	watched	with	some
amusement	for	several	years	how	one	community	of	researchers	argued	for
aflatoxin	as	the	key	cause	of	human	liver	cancer	and	another
community
argued	for	HBV. No	one	in	either	community	dared	to	suggest	that	nutrition
had	anything	to	do	with	this	disease. We	wanted	to	know	about	the	effect	of	casein	on	HBV-induced	liver
cancer	in	mice. This	was	a	big	step. It	went	beyond	aflatoxin	as	a	carcinogen
and	rats	as	a	species. A	brilliant	young	graduate	student	from	China	in	my
group,	Jifan	Hu,	initiated	studies	to	answer	this	question	and	was	later	joined
by	Dr.	Zhiqiang	Cheng. We	needed	a	colony	of	these	transgenic	mice. There
were	two	such	“breeds”	of	mice,	one	living	in	La	Jolla,	California,	the	other
in	Rockville,	Maryland. Each	strain	had	a	different	piece	of	HBV	gene	stuck
in	the	genes	of	their	livers,	and	each	was	therefore	highly	prone	to	liver
cancer. I	contacted	the	responsible	researchers	and	inquired	about	their
helping	us	to	establish	our	own	mouse	colony. Both	research	groups	asked
what	we	wanted	to	do	and	both	were	inclined	to	think	that	studying	the
protein	effect	was	foolish. I	also	sought	a	research	grant	to	study	this	question
and	it	was	rejected. The	reviewers	did	not	take	kindly	to	the	idea	of	a
nutritional	effect	on	a	virus-induced	cancer,	especially	of	a	dietary	protein
effect. I	was	beginning	to	wonder:	was	I	now	being	too	explicit	in	questioning
the	mythical	health	value	of	protein? The	reviews	of	the	grant	proposalcertainly	indicated	this	possibility. We	eventually	obtained	funding,	did	the	study	on	both	strains	of	mice
and
got	essentially	the	same	result	as	we	did	with	the
	rats. 47,	48
	You	can	see	the
results	for	yourself. The	adjoining	picture	(
Chart	3.10

)	shows	what	a	cross-
section	of	the	mouse	livers	looks	like	under	a	microscope. The	dark-colored
material	is	indicative	of	cancer	development	(ignore	the	“hole”;	that’s	only	a
cross-section	of	a	vein). There	is	intense	early	cancer	formation	in	the	22%
casein	animals	(D),	much	less	in	the	14%	casein	animals	(C),	and	none	in	the
6%	casein	animals	(B);	the	remaining	picture	(A)	shows	a	liver	having	no

)	shows	the	expression	(activity)	of	two
HBV	genes	that	cause	cancer	inserted	in	the	mouse	liver. Both	the	picture	and
the	graph	show	the	same	thing:	the	22%	casein	diet	turned	on	expression	of
the	viral	gene	to	cause	cancer,	whereas	the	6%	casein	diet	showed	almost	no
such	activity. By	this	time,	we	had	more	than	enough	information	to	conclude	that

other	carcinogens? At	the	University	of	Illinois	Medical	Center	in	Chicago,
another	research	group	was	working	with	mammary	(breast)	cancer	in	rats. 49–
51
	This	research	showed	that	increasing	intakes	of	casein	promoted	the
development	of	mammary	(breast)	cancer. They	found	that	higher	casein
intake:
promotes	breast	cancer	in	rats	dosed	with	two	experimental	carcinogens
(7,12-dimethybenz(a)anthracene	(DBMA)	and	N-nitroso-methylurea
(NMU))
operates	through	a	network	of	reactions	that	combine	to	increase	cancer
operates	through	the	same	female	hormone	system	that	operates	in
humansLARGER	IMPLICATIONS
An	impressively	consistent	pattern	was	beginning	to	emerge. For	two
different	organs,	four	different	carcinogens	and	two	different	species,	casein
promotes	cancer	growth	while	using	a	highly	integrated	system	of
mechanisms. It	is	a	powerful,	convincing	and	consistent	effect. For	example,
casein	affects	the	way	cells	interact	with	carcinogens,	the	way	DNA	reacts
with	carcinogens	and	the	way	cancerous	cells	grow. The	depth	and
consistency	of	these	findings	strongly	suggest	that	they	are	relevant	for
humans,	for	four	reasons. First,	rats	and	humans	have	an	almost	identical	need
for	protein. Second,	protein	operates	in	humans	virtually	the	same	way	it	does
in	rats. Third,	the	level	of	protein	intake	causing	tumor	growth	is	the	same
level	that	humans	consume. And	fourth,	in	both	rodents	and	humans	the
initiation	stage	is	far	less	important	than	the	promotion	stage	of	cancer. This	is
because	we	are	very	likely	“dosed”	with	a	certain	amount	of	carcinogens	in
our	everyday	lives,	but	whether	they	lead	to	full	tumors	depends	on	their
promotion,	or	lack	thereof. Even	though	I	became	convinced	that	increasing	casein	intake	promotes
cancer,	I	still	had	to	be	wary	of	generalizing	too	much. This	was	an
exceptionally	provocative	finding	that	drew	fierce	skepticism. But	these
findings	nonetheless	were	a	hint	of	things	to	come. I	wanted	to	broaden	my
evidence	still	more. What	effect	did	other	nutrients	have	on
cancer,	and	how
did	they	interact	with	different	carcinogens	and	different	organs? Might	the
effects	of	other	nutrients,	carcinogens	or	organs	cancel	each	other,	or	might
there	be	consistency	of	effect	for	nutrients	within	certain	types	of	food? Would	promotion	continue	to	be	reversible? If	so,


ing	finding,	ironically,	was	the	demonstration	that	tinkering	with
one	nutrient	at	a	time,	while	maintaining	the	same	overall	dietary	patterns,
does	not	lead	to	better	health	or	to	better	health	information. Yet	Harvard	researchers	have	been	steadily	cranking	out	their	findings,
despite	these	challenges. From	their	slew	of	studies,	here	are	some	findings
that	I	would	consider	as	very	troubling	contradictions	when	comparing
disease	risks	for	men	versus	women:
Men	who	consume	alcohol	three	or	four	times	a	week	have	a	lower	heart
attack	risk. 31
Men	with	Type	2	diabetes	who	consume	a	moderate	amount	of	alcohol
have	a	lower	risk	of	coronary	heart	disease. 32
And	yet…
Alcohol	consumption	increases	breast	cancer	incidence	by	41%	for
women	consuming	30–60	g/day	of	alcohol	compared	to	non-drinking
women. 33
Apparently	alcohol	is	good	for	heart	disease	and	bad	for	breast	cancer. The
husband	can	have	a	drink	with	dinner	but	should	never	share	it	with	his	wife. Is	this	a	difference	between	men	and	women,	or	is	this	a	difference	in
response	between	heart	disease	and	cancer. Do	you	feel	more	informed	or
more	confused. Then	there	are	those	wonderful	omega-3	fatty	acids. Some	types	of	fish
contain	relatively	large	amounts	of	these	fats	and	have	been	getting
their	share
of	positive	press	these	days. If	you’ve	heard	anything	about	omega-3	fatty
acids,	it’s	that	you	need	more	of	them	to	be	healthy. Again,	more	Harvard
findings:
“…	contrary	to	the	predominant	hypothesis,	we	found	an	increased	risk
of	breast	cancer	associated	with	omega-3	fat	from	fish”	(This	increased
risk	was	statistically	significant	and	was	associated	with	an	increase	of
only	0. 1%	of	the	total	dietary	energy. ) 10
“our	findings	suggest	that	eating	fish	once	per	month	or	more	can	reduce
the	risk	of	ischemic	stroke	in	men”
34
“data	suggest	that	consumption	of	fish	at	least	once	per	week	may	reduce
the	risk	of	sudden	cardiac	death	in	men	[but	not	reduce	the]	risk	of	total
myocardial	infarction,	non-sudden	cardiac	death	or	total	cardiovascularmortality”
33
	(In	other	words,	fish	may	prevent	some	aspects	of	heart
disease	but	ultimately	has	no	effect	on	mortality	from	heart	disease,	or
even	heart	attack	risk. ) Is	this	yet	another	question	of	deciding	which	disease	you	fear	the	least. Or	is	this	another	man	versus	woman	difference. Here’s	an	even	older	story:	We	have	been	warned	for	a	long	time	to	cut
down	on	our	cholesterol	intake,	and	it	was	largely	for	this	reason	that
consumption	of	eggs	was	brought	into	question. One	egg	has	a	whopping	200
mg	or	more	of	cholesterol,
36
	which	takes	up	a	large	proportion	of	our	300	mg
recommended	daily	limit. So,	what	do	the	Harvard	studies	tell	us	on	this
timeworn	issue. …	consumption	of	up	to	one	egg	per	day	is	unlikely	to	have
substantial	overall	impact	on	the	risk	of	CHD	or	stroke	among
healthy	men	and	women
37
But,	for	breast	cancer,
Our	findings	[representing	eight	prospective	studies]	suggest	a
possible	modest	increase	in	[breast	cancer]	risk	with	egg
consumption…. breast	cancer	risk	was	found	to	increase	by	22%
with	every	100-g	per	day	increment	of	egg	consumption	[about	2
eggs]
26
	[There	was	a	67%	increase	in	risk	for	the	Nurses’	Health
Study. ] 26
But	earlier,	the	Harvard	researchers	took	a	slightly	different
position:
…	among	healthy	men	and	women,	moderate	egg	consumption	can
be	part	of	a	nutritious	and	balanced	diet
38
Most	recently,	the	Nurses’	Health	Study	is	cited	as	having	come	up	with	an
even	more	powerful	endorsement	for	eggs. A	recent	news	item	stated:
Eating	eggs	during	adolescence	could	protect	women	against	breast
cancer…. 39
The	article	goes	on	to	quote	a	Harvard	researcher	as	saying:
Women	who	had,	during	adolescence,	a	higher	consumption	of	eggs…had	a	lower	risk	of	breast	cancer…. 39
Most	people	who	read	this	news	article	will	likely	say	that	eggs	are	back
in	favor—even	when	they	don’t	know	how	many	eggs	per	day	are	okay	or
whether	there	are	exceptions	to	this	generalization. Eggs	will	only	seem	to	be
more	healthful	when	the	henhouse	industry	adds	their	words	of	wisdom. But
wait	a	minute—evidence	says	egg	consumption	for	teenage	girls	is	okay,
maybe	even	good,	but	evidence	also	says	more	egg	consumption	overall
increases	breast	cancer	risk. By	the	way,	here’s	something	else	to	think	about. Multiple	studies	have	rather	consistently	shown	that	egg	consumption	can
increase	colon	cancer	risk,	more	so	for	women	than	for	men. 40
What	are	we	to	believe. One	minute	alcohol	intake	can	reduce	our	disease
risks,	the	next	minute	it	can	increase	them. One	minute	fish	consumption	can
help	to	reduce	our	disease	risks,	the	next	minute	it	can	hurt. One	minute	eggs
are	bad,	the	next	minute	they	can	be	healthy. It	seems	to	me	that	what	is
missing	here	is	the	larger	context. What	you	have	without	that	context	is	just	a
lot	of	confusion. UNRAVELING	DIET	AND	CANCER
In	addition	to	stating	that	diet	and	exercise	are	unrelated	to	breast	cancer,	the
Harvard	researchers	have	been	chipping	away	at	other	popular	notions
regarding	diet	and	cancer. For	example,	the	Harvard	studies	have	not	been
able	to	detect	any	association	between	colorectal	cancer	and	fiber	or	fruit	and
vegetable	intake. 4,	41,	42
Dietary	fiber,	of	course,	only	comes	from	plant-based	foods,	thus	these
findings	put	a	dent	in	the	idea	that	fiber	or	fruits,	vegetables	and	cereals
prevent	large	bowel	cancer. Keep	in	mind	that	the	Harvard	studies	are	dealing
with	uniformly	carnivorous	populations,	almost	none	of	which	are	using	a
whole	foods,	plant-based	diet	that	is	naturally	low	in	fat	and	high	in	fiber. It	is
likely	that	the	potential	protective	effect	of
fiber	or	fruits	and	vegetables	does
not	kick	in	against	colorectal	cancer	until	there	is	a	complete	dietary	shift
away	from	an	animal-based	diet. Between	the	colon	cancer	and	breast	cancer	findings,	the	Nurses’	Health
Study	has	done	much	to	confuse,	if	not	discredit,	the	idea	that	diet	is	related	to
cancer. After	these	decades	of	work,	Professor	Walt	Willett	says:
…	increasing	fruits	and	vegetables	overall	appears	to	be	less	promising
as	a	way	to	substantially	reduce	cancer	risk. …	the	benefits	[of	these
foods]	appear	greater

   Modern nutritional science has clearly demonstrated the
superiority of raw foods over those which have been heat-
processed. Through biochemistry and physiology it has shown the theoretical advantages of consuming raw foods. Through animal experiments involving many thousands of
animals, it has demonstrated under controlled observation
that animals thrive better on the raw diet. In nature it has
noted that freedom from disease is dependent in great measure upon the exclusive use of raw foods. With humans it
has been equally successful and has shown how physical
development is better, and immunity to disease is higher, in
proportion to the quantity of raw food being consumed. In
large clinics and sanitariums it has shown that raw foods have specific therapeutic values. And through the science of food
selection, and the art of food preparation, it shows how raw
food therapy can be applied on the most efficient basis in
modern life. What this all means in terms of human life and survival is
easy to understand. Man created his first and primary cause of
disease with the discovery of fire and its application in the art of cooking and refining of foodstuffs. In primitive life he
employed the less destructive methods of cooking to a
moderate degree and thus was able, in some cases, to retain a
relatively high degree of physical excellence, though below
probable optimum standards. In civilization he has applied the more severe forms of heat-processing to nearly all his
foods, and the consequences have been tragic in many ways. Man today occupies the unique position of being the most degenerated mammal on the face of the earth. With a
philosophy of medicine that has been developed through the
centuries, and the existence of drug and medical facilities
which involve directly or indirectly the expenditure of
billions of dollars annuall y, he fails to even a pproach the physical excellence which is the norm of the animal kingdom. For this the widespread consumption of heat-processed foods
has been largely responsible, as the existing evidence so clearly shows. But the final outlook is not a pessimistic one. It is indeed
optimistic to the highest degree. A return to natural foods—uncooked and unrefined—offers man a future which
otherwise would appear only in the realm of fantasy. A sharp
reduction in the prevalence of human disease is now possible
within the present generation. A definite prolongation in the
span of life is also possible within a single generation. And to future generations the future is even brighter. Disease may be
reduced to its normal insignificance; life may reach its normal
biological limits, and the pathology of senility will be
replaced by the normal changes of senescence. Such are the
possibilities now before us. They may be reached through an improvement in all of the hygienic phases of our existence. Of these, it is clear that the consumption of raw food is the
most important and will do more than any other single factor
to improve the biological quality of human life. BIBLIOGRAPHY

 vegetable and juice. The next day you can have the same as the day before, except that you could have an extra vegetable at  noon and again at night, if
desired. You may also have an egg or a tablespoon of nut butter for the morning meal. The next day, you will start on Dr. Jensen’s Regular Diet, except for no starches. The day following, you can have both starches and proteins  in your diet. NOTE:
Here is a simple thing for you to remember when considering the basic requirements for good bowel management. Your food
should in some way contribute to the BLM in the bowel. BLM is Bulk, Lubrication and Moisture. These three combine to provide
an ideal bowel environment. Bulk creates the mass whereby good evacuation is assured. Lubrication provides an easy flow of
materials through the digestive tract all the way to the anus. Moisture prevents the drying out of feces and constipation from
developing. If your food item does not contribute to BLM, then don’t eat it! GRAPES
Four pounds of grapes a day is a good amount for a grape diet and you should average a pound or so every three hours. These
grapes should be the grapes that have seed s since these are the most vital of all grapes. Man has gone to using hybrid foods too
much. Those foods that were brought to us in the beginning are the foods that have lots of seeds. They are the vital foods. S o I
believe the grapes that have seeds are t he best. The Concord, Fresno Beauty, Red grapes and Muscat, all are good grapes to use. I
don’t say that you have to use the seeds. You can chew them finely if you like. A good thing to help eliminate catarrh is fou nd in
cream of tartar which surround the seeds. So make sure you get all the material off the seeds when you are eating them. When
chewing grape skins, you’ll find that they are very bitter but that bitterness is high in potassium. Potassium is a great cle anser in
the body. Gayelord Hauser made h is name with potassium broth. It is a great cleanser and detoxifier in the body. Especially in the
beginning of the grape diet, I think you should use enemas. Toxic materials accumulate and it is well that we keep things mov ing
along. You can go on grapes five to ten days without any supervision, but if you stay on them longer, it is well to have someone
around who has been used to giving the grape diet. That person should be able to take care of you with any reaction you might
have that may be strange to y ou. Many times these reactions are nothing more than a healing crisis or an elimination process. WATER REMEDIES
Sitz Baths. Water should come up five inches on the body. The feet are never in the water. The baths should only be for the p elvis
and the pelv ic organs. This is wonderful for congestion in the pelvis and sluggish bowels. These baths are best taken in the evening
just before going to bed. However, they can be taken the first thing in the morning before going to work. The cold sitz bath is an
effective, though violent way of stopping bedwetting. Take cold water, sitting in it four to five minutes every morning before
going to school or before beginning the daily program or routine. This will help with bladder and prostate, problems in gener al. A
gentler approach is to take two sitz baths every morning. The first for one minute, hot; the second for one -half minute, cold. Do
this for five changes, going from one to the other. The treatment should continue for a period of three months. BENEFITS OF THE ENEMA
Enemas can be beneficial in restoring healthy bowel regularity. This is why I believe enemas should be used every day for a y ear
by those who have problems with a sluggish, irregular or underactive bowel. Many ingredients can be added to enema water to
increase its effectiveness in some specific manner. Coffee enemas help detoxify the liver. Flaxseed tea enemas relieve
inflammation in the bowel. Bentonite, a clay water, when added to enema water assists in absorbing and mobilizing toxins from
the bowe l wall. Acidophilus culture taken orally is helpful in detoxifying the bowel and in building friendly bacteria. Acidophilus
implants can also be inserted rectally over night. I believe that each of the many health professions and approaches to health care  have a special value. I do not believe, however,
that any therapeutic method —no matter how sophisticated - can effectively overcome disease in a toxic -laden body. The toxins
must be eliminated first. Nor do I believe that any drug -based therapy can restor e or rejuvenate tissue damaged in the course of
chronic disease. Only nutrients from foods can do that. I believe when we work with nature, we get the results nature intends  us to
get. A clean body nourished by natural foods and uplifting thoughts will put  anyone on the path to right living that brings health as
a natural consequence. It is interesting to note that the famous beauty queen, whom I knew, Mae West, was a great believer in  the
benefits of the enema. She started every day with a morning enema. I ’m sure that this simple practice greatly contributed to her
unusual vitality, bright -mindedness and long lasting attractiveness, as true beauty is but a reflection of the beauty within. A WORD ABOUT COLONICS
Colonies, as administered today, vary greatly in their effects due largely to the expertise of the colonic technician. We feel that in
some respects colonic therapy is taking advantage of people by making them believe that long and costly treatments are necess ary. Also water applied under pressure is potentially hazardous. Those individuals with known or suspected serious bowel problems
should approach pressurized colonic treatments with extreme caution. Those practitioners who administer colonic therapy prope rly
are offering a useful service to the pu blic. This service can be greatly enhanced with the addition of sound dietary counseling so
as to eventually overcome the need for colonic therapy. Without this knowledge, the colonic recipient is merely digging holes  and
filling them again —a net zero towa rd building a better health quality. Many professionals giving colonies today are getting
successful but temporary results. The reason for this is that just getting rid of the toxic waste in the bowel is not the com plete
answer, although it is the first st ep along the correct path. Unless proper exercise, diet and right living are practiced, good and
lasting results will not be achieved. We must be interested in making bowel tissue changes. REVITALIZING BROTH
This is a broth that was used during my sanitar ium work dealing with very sick people who had to be nourished back to health. It is
very easy to digest. Use 5 or 6 of these non -gas-forming vegetables, such as: Beets, carrots, potato peeling, celery, parsley, okra (if
possible), chayote pear or any squa sh. Do not use any of the sulfur vegetables: cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli or onions. Add: 1 C. cut up vegetables; 1 pint water; 2 tablespoons Soybean Milk Powder. After either liquifying, blending or shredding vegetables, place in a pot with other ingred ients and let simmer 3 -5 minutes over a
very low flame. This is only to break down the fiber and release enzymes. Strain and use. CHAPTER 8
INTRODUCTION TO THE ULTIMATE TISSUE CLEANSING SYSTEM
I’ve given colonics to people who have expelled grape seeds an d they had not eaten grapes for nine months! Where had those
seeds been? I’ve seen popcorn come out of a person when they hadn’t had popcorn for three years. Where had it been? We
accumulate these things in the mucous membrane that holds toxic material in various folds of the intestines. It was very hard for
me to believe this could happen. Just a short time ago, I went through the Ultimate Cleansing process, and I can attest to th e
wonderful results I experienced. For those who have asthma, an extreme elim ination program will help you more than anything;
and for those who suffer with arthritis, 1 have seen many receive relief within ten days after participating in this program. I can tell
you about cases and relief that came to those who have taken care of the bowel. It is a means of keeping the body clean. “Cleanse
and purify thyself and I wilt exalt thee to the throne of power.” Energy which flows through our body is dependent upon a cle an
body. For example, here is a case that was quite striking to me. One of the women on the program who is in her early fifties, had medical
laboratory tests taken that showed a triglyceride reading of 938 mg/dl (Normal is 150 -200.) and a cholesterol reading of 348 mg/dl. After one week on the Ultimate Cleansing Program, t he triglyceride dropped to 253 and the cholesterol to 277; obviously a
dramatic change occurred. There is a mucous membrane that lines the last six feet of the intestinal tract of the large colon. I never
believed this tract could be so mucus loaded, black  and toxic, but I had the chance to see this while on the Ultimate Cleansing
Program myself. In this process, you use an intestinal bulk. This bulk is mixed with clay water and is taken five times a day
followed by a


have, you will have. And I promise you this much, after you have realized
your objective, on reflection you will have to admit that this conscious
reasoning mind of yours could never have devised the way. You are that and have that which this very moment you appropriated. Do
not discuss it. Do not look to someone for encouragement because the
thing might not come. It has come. Go about your Father's business doing
everything normally and let these things happen in your world. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenLesson II: Assumptions Harden Into Fact
The Bible of ours has nothing to do with history. Some of you may yet be
inclined tonight to believe that, although we can give it a psychological in -
terpretation, it still could be left in its present form and be interpreted lit -
erally. You cannot do it. The Bible has no reference at all to people or to
events as you have been taught to believe. The sooner you begin to rub
out that picture the better. We are going to take a few stories tonight, and again I am going to re -
mind you that you must re-enact all of these stories within your own
mind. Bear in mind that although they seem to be stories of people fully awake,
the drama is really between you, the sleeping one, the deeper you, and
the conscious waking you. They are personified as people, but when you
come to the point of application you must remember the importance of
the drowsy state. All creation, as we told you last night, takes place in the state of sleep, or
that state which is akin to sleep – the sleepy, drowsy state. We told you last night the first man is not yet awakened. You are Adam,
the first man, still in the profound sleep. The creative you is the fourth-di -
mensional you whose home is simply the state you enter when men call
you asleep. *****
Our first story for tonight is found in the Gospel of John. As you hear it
unfold before you, I want you to compare it in your mind's eye to the sto -
ry you heard last night from the book of Genesis. The first book of the
Bible, the book of Genesis, historians claim is the record of events which
occurred on earth some 3000 years before the events recorded in the
book of John. I ask you to be rational about it and see if you do not think
the same writer could have written both stories. You be the judge as to
whether the same inspired man could not have told the same story and
told it differently. This is a very familiar story, the story of the trial of Jesus. In this Gospel
of John it is recorded that Jesus was brought before Pontius Pilate, and
the crowd clamored for his life, they wanted Jesus. Pilate turned to them
and said:
“But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the
Passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews. Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barab -
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenbas was a robber. ” (John 18:39, 40). You are told that Pilate had no choice in the matter, he was only a judge
interpreting law, and this was the law. The people had to be given that
which they requested. Pilate could not release Jesus against the wishes of
the crowd, and so he released Barabbas and gave unto them Jesus to be
crucified. Now bear in mind that your consciousnesses is God. There is no other
God. And you are told that God has a son whose name is Jesus. If you will
take the trouble to look up the word Barabbas in your concordance, you
will see that it is a contraction of two Hebraic words: BAR, which means a
daughter, son or child, and ABBA, which means father. Barabbas is the
son of the great father. And Jesus in the story is called the Savior, the Son
of the Father. We have two sons in this story. And we have two sons in the story of Esau
and Jacob. Bear in mind that Isaac was blind, and justice to be true must
be blind folded. Although in this case Pilate is not physically blind, the
part given to Pilate implies that he is blind because he is a judge. On all
the great law buildings of the world we see the lady or the man who rep -
resents justice as being blindfolded. “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. ”
(John 7:24). Here we find Pilate playing the same part as Isaac. There are two sons. All the characters as they appear in this story can apply to your own life. You have a son that is robbing you this very moment of that which you
could be. If you came to this meeting tonight conscious of wanting something, de -
siring something, you walked in the company of Barabbas. For to desire is to confess that you do not now possess what you desire,
and because all things are yours, you rob yourself by living in the state of
desire. My savior is my desire. As I want something I am looking in to the
eyes of my savior. But if I continue wanting it, I deny my Jesus, my sav -
ior, for as I want I confess I am not and “except ye believe that I AM He
ye die in your sins. ” I cannot have and still continue to desire what I have. I may enjoy it, but I cannot continue wanting it. Here is the story. This is the feast of the Passover. Something is going to
change right now, something is going to passover. Man is incapable of
passing over from one state of consciousness into another unless he re -
leases from consciousness that which he now entertains, for it anchors
him where he is. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenYou and I may go to physical feasts year after year as the sun enters the
great sign of Aries, but it means nothing to the true mystical Passover. To
keep the feast of the Passover, the psychological feast, I pass from one
state of consciousness into another. I do it by releasing Barabbas, the
thief and robber that robs me of that state which I could embody within
my world. The state I seek to embody is personified in the story as Jesus the Savior. If I become what I want to be then I am saved from what I was. If I do
not become it, I continue to keep locked within me a thief who robs me of
being that which I could be. These stories have no reference to any persons who lived nor to any
event that ever occurred upon earth. These characters are everlasting
characters in the mind of every man in the world. You and I perpetually
keep alive either Barabbas or Jesus. You know at every moment of time
who you are entertaining. Do not condemn a crowd for clamoring that they should release Barabbas
and crucify Jesus. It is not a crowd of people called Jews. They had noth -
ing to do with it. If we are wise, we too should clamor for the release of that state of mind
that limits us from being what we want to be, that restricts us, that does
not permit us to become the ideal that we seek and strive to attain in this
world. I am not saying that you are not tonight embodying Jesus. I only remind
you, that if at this very moment you have an unfulfilled ambition, then
you are entertaining that which denies the fulfillment of the ambition, and
that which denies it is Barabbas. To explain the mystical, psychological transformation known as the
Passover, or the crossing over, you must now become identified with the
ideal that you would serve, and you must remain faithful to the ideal. If
you remain faithful to it, you not only crucify it by your faithfulness, but
you resurrect it unaided by a man. As the story goes, no man could rise early enough to roll away the stone. Unaided by a man the stone was removed, and what seemingly was dead
and buried was resurrected unassisted by a man. You walk in the consciousness of being that which you want to be, no one
sees it as yet, but you do not need a man to roll away the problems and
the obstacles of life in order to express that which you are conscious of
being. That state has its own unique way of becoming embodied in this
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenworld, of becoming flesh that the whole world may touch it. Now you can see the relationship between the story of Jesus and the sto -
ry of Isaac and his two sons, where one transplanted the other, where one
was called the Supplanter of the other. Why do you think those who com -
plied the sixty odd books of our Bible made Jacob the forefather of Jesus. They took Jacob, who was called the Supplanter, and made him father of
twelve, then they took Judah or praise, the fifth son and made him the
fore of Joseph, who is supposed to have fathered in some strange way
this one called Jesus. Jesus must supplant Barabbas as Jacob must sup -
plant and take the place of Esau. Tonight you can sit right here and conduct the trial of your two sons, one
of whom you want released. You can become the crowd who clamors for


off shared a wonderful quote from the great Albert
Einstein: "The most important question any human being can ask
themselves is, 'Is this a friendly Universe?'" Knowing the law of attraction, the only answer to give is, "Yes,
the Universe is friendly." Why? Because when you answer in this
way, by the law of attraction you must experience that. Albert Ein-
stein posed this powerful question because he knew The Secret. He knew by asking the question it would force us to think and
make a choice. He gave us a great opportunity, just by posing the
question. To take Einstein's intention even further, you can affirm and pro-
claim, "This is a magnificent Universe. The Universe is bringing all
good things to me. The Universe is conspiring for me in all things. The Universe is supporting me in everything I do. The Universe
meets all my needs immediately." Know that this is a friendly Uni-
verse! JACKCANFlELD
Since I learned The Secret and started applying it to my life,
my life has truly become magical. I think the kind of life that
everybody dreams of is one I live on a day-to-day basis. I live
in a four-and-a-half-million-dollar mansion. I have a wife to
die for. I get to vacation in all the fabulous spots of the world. I've climbed mountains. I've explored. I've been on safaris. And all of this happened, and continues to happen, because
of knowing how to apply The Secret. The Secret Made Simple 41
BOB PROCTOR
Life can be absolutely phenomenal, and it should be, and it
will be, when you start using The Secret. This is your life, and it's been waiting for you to discover it! Up
until now you may have been thinking that life is hard and a strug-
gle, and so by the law of attraction you will have experienced life
as hard and a struggle. Begin right now to shout to the universe,
"Life is so easy! Life is so good! All good things come to me!" There is a truth deep down inside of you that has been waiting
for you to discover it, and that Truth is this: you deserve all good
things life has to offer. You know that inherently, because you feel
awful when you are experiencing the lack of good things. All
good things are your birthright! You are the creator of you, and
the law of attraction is your magnificent tool to create whatever
you want in your life. Welcome to the magic of life, and the mag-
nificence of You! The law of attraction is a law of nature. It is as impartial as the law
of gravity. Nothing can come into your experience unless you summon it
through persistent thoughts. To know what you're thinking, ask yourself how you are feeling. Emotions are valuable tools that instantly tell us what we are
thinking. It is impossible to feel bad and at the same time have good thoughts. Your thoughts determine your frequency, and your feelings tell you
immediately what frequency you are on. When you feel bad, you
are on the frequency of drawing more bad things. When you feel
good, you are powerfully attracting more good things to you. Secret Shifters, such as pleasant memories, nature, or your favorite
music, can change your feelings and shift your frequency in an in-
stant. The feeling of love is the highest frequency you can emit. The greater
the love you feel and emit, the greater the power you are harnessing. 43 You are a creator, and there is an easy process to create using the
law of attraction. The greatest teachers and avatars have shared
the Creative Process through their wondrous work, in a myriad of
forms. Some great teachers created stories to demonstrate how the
Universe works. The wisdom contained in their stories has been
handed down through the centuries and has become legendary. Many people living today do not realize that the essence of these
stories is the very truth of life. JAMES RAY
If you think about Aladdin and his lamp, Aladdin picks up the
lamp, dusts it off, and out pops the Genie. The Genie always
says one thing:
"Your wish is my command!" The story now goes that there are three wishes, hut if you

trace the story back to its origins there's absolutely no limit
whatsoever to the wishes. Think about that one. Now, let's take this metaphor and apply it to your life. Remember Aladdin is the one who always asks for what he
wants. Then you've got the Universe at large, which is the
Genie. Traditions have called it so many things—your holy
guardian angel, your higher self. We can put any label on
it, and you choose the one that works best for you, but every
tradition has told us there's something bigger than us. And
the Genie always says one thing:
"Your wish is my command!" This wonderful story demonstrates how your whole life and ev-
erything in it has been created by You. The Genie has simply an-
swered your every command. The Genie is the law of attraction,
and it is always present and always listening to everything you
think, speak, and act. The Genie assumes that everything you
think about, you want! That everything you speak about, you
want! That everything you act upon is what you want! You are the
Master of the Universe, and the Genie is there to serve you. The
Genie never questions your commands. You think it, and the Genie
immediately begins to leverage the Universe, through people, cir-
cumstances, and events, to fulfill your wish. How to Use the Secret 47
The Creative Process used in The Secret, which was taken from the
New Testament in the Bible, is an easy guideline for you to create
what you want in three simple steps. LISA NICHOLS
The first step is to ask. Make a command to the Universe. Let the
Universe know what you want. The Universe responds to your
thoughts. BOB PROCTOR
What do you really want? Sit down and write it out on a
piece of paper. Write it in the present tense. You might begin
by writing, "I am so happy and grateful now that..." And
then explain how you want your life to be, in every area. You get to choose what you want, but you must get clear about
what you want. This is your work. If you're not clear, then the law
of attraction cannot bring you what you want. You will be sending
out a mixed frequency and you can only attract mixed results. For
the first time in your life perhaps, work out what it is you really
want. Now that you know you can have, be, or do anything, and
there are no limits, what do you want? 48 The Secret
Asking is the first step in the Creative Process, so make it a habit to
ask. If you have to make a choice and you don't know which way
to go, ask! You should never be stumped on anything in your life. Just ask! DR. JOE VlTALE
This is really fun. It's like having the Universe as your
catalogue. You flip through it and say, "I'd like to have this
experience and I'd like to have that product and I'd like to
have a person like that." It is You placing your order with the
Universe. It's really that easy. You do not have to ask over and over again. Just ask once. It is
exactly like placing an order from a catalogue. You only ever order
something once. You don't place an order and then doubt the order
has been received and so place the order again, and then again, and
then again. You order once. It is the same with the Creative Process. Step One is simply your step to get clear about what you want. As
you get clear in your mind, you have asked. LISA NICHOLS
Step two is believe. Believe that it's already yours. Have what
I love to call unwavering faith. Believing in the unseen. How to Use the Secret 49
You must believe that you have received. You must know that what
you want is yours the moment you ask. You must have complete
and utter faith. If you had placed an order from a catalogue you
would relax/ know you are going to receive what you ordered, and
get on with your life. "See the things that you want as already yours. Know that they will come to you at need. Then
let them come. Don't fret and worry about them. Don't think about your lack of them. Think of
them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in
your possession." In the moment you ask, and believe and know you already have it
in the unseen, the entire Universe shifts to bring it into the seen. You must act, speak, and think, as though you are receiving it now. Why? The Universe is a mirror, and the law of attraction is mir-
roring back to you your dominant thoughts. So doesn't it make
sense that you have to see yourself as receiving it? If your thoughts
contain noticing you do not have it yet, you will continue to at-
tract not having it yet. You must believe you have it already. You
must believe you have received it. You have to emit the feeling
frequency of having received it, to bring those pictures back as
your life.


 have produced uniformly broad dental arches and
typical Eskimo facial patterns. Even the first generation forsaking that diet and using the modern
diet, presents large numbers of individuals with marked changes in facial and dental arch form. In
Fig. 12 will be seen four Eskimo girls who are of the first generation following the adoption of7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 48/250modernized foods by their parents. All have deformed dental arches. It is important to note the
pattern of the settling inward of the lateral incisors and the crowding outward of the cuspids. This
facial design is currently assigned to a mixing of racial bloods. These girls are pure-blooded
Eskimos whose parents have normally formed dental arches. FIG. 12. While dental arch deformities or crowded teeth are
practically unknown among many of the primitive groups of
Eskimos, they occur frequently in the first generation of
children born after the parents have adopted the white man's
foods. Note the narrow nostrils and changed facial form of
these children. This is not due to thumb sucking. We are particularly concerned with the foods used by these primitive Eskimos. They almost
always have their homes on or near deep water. Their skill in handling their kayaks is most
remarkable. During the salmon running season they store large quantities of dried salmon. They
spear many of these fish from their kayaks; even young boys are very skillful. They land salmon so
large that they can hardly lift them. They are expert in spearing seals from these light crafts. Seal oil
provides a very important part of their nutrition. As each piece of fish is broken off, it is dipped in
seal oil. I obtained some seal oil from them and brought it to my laboratory for analyzing for its
vitamin content. It proved to be one of the richest foods in vitamin A that I have found. The fish are hung on racks in the wind for drying. Fish eggs are also spread out to dry, as shown
in Fig. 13. These foods constitute a very important part of the nutrition of the small children after
they are weaned. Naturally, the drifting sands of the bleak Bering Straits lodge upon and cling to
the moist surfaces of the fish that are hung up to dry. This constitutes the principal cause for the
excessive wear of the Eskimos' teeth in both men and women. FIG. 13. The eggs of the salmon are dried and stored as an
important item of nutrition for both children and adults. They
are also used to increase the fertility of the women. From a

gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 49/250are also used to increase the fertility of the women. From a
chemical standpoint they are one of the most nutritious
foods I have found anywhere. The food of these Eskimos in their native state includes caribou, ground nuts which are gathered
by mice and stored in caches, kelp which is gathered in season and stored for winter use, berries
including cranberries which are preserved by freezing, blossoms of flowers preserved in seal oil,
sorrel grass preserved in seal oil, and quantities of frozen fish. Another important food factor
consists of the organs of the large animals of the sea, including certain layers of the skin of one of
the species of whale, which has been found to be very high in vitamin C.
    Since contact with our modern civilization, the Eskimo population for Alaska is very rapidly
declining. One authority has quoted the reduction of 50 per cent in population in seventy-five
years. An important observation has been made relative to the rapid shortening of the average life by
Dr. V. E. Levine and Professor C. W. Bauer, of Creighton University, Nebraska, who reported:
    Cordova, Alaska, Oct. 26, 1934--Due to susceptibility to tuberculosis and other diseases the
average life span of the Eskimo of Alaska is only 20 years and their race is doomed to extinction
within a few generations unless modern medical science comes to their aid. Unless a very radical change is made in the interference with the native supply of game and sea
foods, the Eskimo population seems destined to have a rapid decline and an early extinction. Their
primitive fish foods have been largely curtailed by the encroachment on their salmon streams made
by modern canneries. It is of interest to discuss in connection with the Alaskan Eskimo two white boys (one is shown
in Fig. 14), who were sons of a mining engineer. They had been born and raised in a mining camp
in Alaska, where their foods had been almost entirely shipped in. I travelled with the mother of
these two boys who was bringing them to the United States for operations on their noses, because
they were mouth-breathers. It is important to observe the marked underdevelopment of both the
middle third and lower third of the face of the boy shown in Fig. 14. The nutrition of the family
during their development and growth had been largely provided in package form shipped in from
the United States. Their disfiguration is typical of that of large numbers that are developing in our
highly modernized communities, and is similar, in general, to the deformities which develop in the
primitive races after they adopt the modernized nutrition. FIG. 14. This white boy was born and raised in Alaska on
imported foods. His facial deformity includes a lack of
development of the air passages, so that he breathes
through his mouth. Lack of bone development creates the
crowded condition of the teeth. Note his narrow nostrils. Notwithstanding the very inhospitable part of the world in which they reside, with nine or ten
months of winter and only two or three of summer, and in spite of the absence for long periods of
plant foods and dairy products and eggs, the Eskimos were able to provide their bodies with all
the mineral and vitamin requirements from sea foods, stored greens and berries and plants from the
sea.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

Chapter 6
PRIMITIVE AND MODERNIZED NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS
NATURE seems to have made one of her large scale demonstrations in the Americas of the
power of adaptation of a single racial stock to the scale of climates ranging from torrid jungles of
the tropics to the Arctics. The various members of the American Indian race seem clearly to have
come from a common origin. The route by which they reached America from Asia as suggested by
anthropologists was by way of the Bering Strait. Within a decade a Russian engineer has crossed
from Asia to America on the pack ice of the Bering sea, a distance of ninety miles. If this is
possible now, how much more likely is it that it has been possible in earlier periods of the world's
history, as, for example, during or following the last ice age, or at the time of an earlier ice age. The
American Indian, therefore, provides a very remarkable opportunity to study both the capacity for
adaptability to different environments and the variations that different environments can produce in
a single racial stock. That the Indian of today is not in general a counterpart of the native resident
at the time of the discovery of America by Columbus is clearly demonstrated both by the skeletal
material and by the early records. Our problem involved the location and study of groups of the original stock, if such were to be
found, who were living in accordance with the tradition of their race and as little affected as might
be possible by the influence of the white man. At first thought it might seem impossible that such
groups can exist, but as a matter of fact there are still great areas of the American continent
inhabited by the original stock living in areas still unexplored. In order to find Indians as little
changed as possible by reason of their contact with the white man, particularly with the white man's
foods, I went to northern Canada to the region inside the Rocky Mountain range to study the
Indians of Northern British Columbia and the Yukon territory. Since an aeroplane could not be
used, owing to the lack of a base of supplies for fuel for the return trip; and since the MacKenzie
water route was impracticable (an expedition could not go up the waterways through Canada on
the MacKenzie River and its branches and return the same season), the route selected was that
which enters that territory from Alaska on the large waterway of the Stikine River. This river has
cut its channel through the Coast and Cascade Ranges of mountains and has its origin in the high
western watershed of the Rockies. It was particularly desirable to reach a group of Indians who
could not obtain the animal life of the sea, not even the running salmon. These fish do not enter the
waterways draining to the Arctic. We used a high-powered river transport specially designed for
going up rapids on the Stikine River to the end of navigation at Telegraph Creek. At this point
large quantities of modern foods are stored during the short open navigation season of the summer
to be exchanged for furs during the long winter. A Hudson Bay Post has been established at this
point. Here a truck was chartered which took us over a trail across the Rocky Mountain Divide to
the headwaters of the rivers flowing north to the Arctic. At this outpost two guides were engaged
and a high powered scow char


 in a living
system were made synchronously with careful records of chang
ing tempera ture, humidity, barometric pressure, sun spots and
Cosmic rays. For we thought that a comparison of these simul
taneous records would enable us to determine whether any
correlates between any of these variables existed. With the aid of a grant from the National Institute of Health,
a more elaborate experiment was devised to examine possible
interrelationships with the electrical environment, to be con
tinued over as long a period of time as possible. The experiment
included four reasonably simultaneous records of changing volt
age gradients in an Elm tree, a Maple tree, in the atmosphere
adjacent, and in the earth. Since we had many years of records of pure voltage differences
in trees, there was available a valuable baseline of information
about the changing electrical properties of a living system during
the passage of time. As a result, we knew what to expect as a
result of changing seasons, lunar cycles and diurnal rhythms. The two new records of variations in air and earth voltages could
add to this information about the trees, and could offer clues as
to the possible impact of the electrical environm ent on living
processes. The instrumentation included four high input-impedance
amplifiers, two pairs of silver-silver chloride electrodes-a pair
for each of two elms-an atmospheric voltage probe supplied by
101 ANTENNAE TO THE UNIVERS E
Meteorol ogic Research of Pasadena, California-feeding into one
of the amplifiers (checked by their own meter)-and a pair of
monel metal rods, three feet apart on a north-south axis and
leading into one of the amplifiers. The output from all four amplifiers was fed into a four
channel Leeds & Northrop recording meter. The latter prints a
dot, indicating a voltage magnitude, at appropriate intervals,
often enough to exhibit an almost continuous line. Needless to
say, such an interrupted record is not adequate for true simul
taneity of the four records, but for this study the rough approxi
mation proved sufficient. From the beginning an extraordinary correspondence in the
four records appeared. The two trees, the air and the earth ex
hibited variations at approximatel y the same time. The magni
tudes differed, but all fottr showed increases in the positivity of
the 'hot' electrode at the same time. The apparent simultaneity of two tree potentials, earth
potentials and air potentials raises an interesting question. The
short-time relationships between the onset of these changes in
all four of these records could be exceedi ngly important. None of
the equipment we had with us, however, made it possible for
us to investigate this particular aspect of the problem. Conceivably, the changes in the electrical environm ent might
precede the changes in the electrical properties in the living
systems. This would give added weight to the evidence that there
is a significant relationship between endogenous electric charac
teristics of the two trees and the corresponding changes in the
electrical aspect of the environment. These short-time measurements were, of course, stimulating
and interesting, but the really important question raised by this
whole study is: What happens in time, preferably long periods
of time? A mathema tical analysis of the diurnal rhythms made it clear
that we were not dealing with random numbers but with real
changes in the electric properties of a segment of the earth and
of the two living systems. It seemed reasonably safe, therefore, to
assume that both air and earth potentials were equally free from
random measurements. 102 ANTENNAE TO THE UNI VERSE
The fact that all four sets of measurements exhibited changes at
the same time made it quite clear that a long-time study was
j llstified. Since preliminary studies of this sort were begun in
1938, and reasonably continuous measurements made from 1943
on, quite a span of time was available for analysis. In the early
days, mathematical theory was inadequate to study the changing
relationships with time; and the modern mathematical analytical
instruments were not available. The very considerable amount of
data collected over the years represents a source of numbers
which could be analysed very profitably. 5
Inspection of the potentials recorded on the long paper records
made it clear that no one of these four sets of measurements was
independent of tl1e other three. A change in one was accompanied
by a change in aU the others. This was an extraordinary finding. Every attempt was made to
cover the possible artifacts which might have produced these
results, but rigorous controls ruled out the possibility that the
results were accidental. It must be admitted that it was exciting
to see that the well-known diurnal rhythms of a biological system
of two trees also were paralleled by diurnal rhythms in atmos
pheric potential and earth potential. To be sure, we do not know
whether one or the other of these measurements precedes any of
the others, but the fact that the changes occur in all of them is of
prime importance. Since Nature is the experime nter, changing the variables in
hoth the Jiving system and in its environment, long-term studies
should help us to understand to what extent there is an interrela
tionship between the electrical properties in the environment and
those of a living system. That they exist in day and night
rhythms, is clear. But it is also equally clear that there is a
repetitive cycle which has a period roughly approximating that
of the lunar cycle. This does not mean that the moon affects the living systems,
as the old wives' tale held, but rather that both the moon and
103 ANTENNAE TO THE UNI VERSE
Jiving systems respond to some more primary characteristics of
the Cosmos. It is not surprising, therefore, that we detected in
our records the same twenty-seven-day-cycle of earth and air, as
well as trees. Since these studies ran through many years, seasonal changes
-which we know exist in trees, for example-were also to be
seen in the winter and summer records of voltage gradients in
earth and air. These seasonal changes were so obvious that the
striking correlations between the living system and its environ
ment gave credence to the notion that the living system is im
bedded through its own electro-dynamic field in the field of its
physical environm ent. But since the field of the environment is involved in such
things as lunar cycles, it is important to remember that the
electrical properties of the ionosphere are changed by sun spot
activity, as Stetson showed many years ago. The electrical charac
teristics of the ionosphere could, then, be correlated with lunar
cycles and diurnal rhythms. A preliminary analysis, therefore, was made of the changing
potentials of the trees and sun spot activity as recorded in Zurich,
Switzerland. Here, again the correlation between the two sets of
measurements was extraordinary. A great deal of further study will be required to determine
whether or not the changing sun spot activity preceded the
change in the electrical properties of trees. The graphs drawn
from these available numbers show a rather extraordinary paral
lelism with the changing electric potentials of the tree. By implication, this could indicate that not only a tree--a
perfectly good living system-but in all probability aU living
systems, might show the 9ame dependency since they all possess
electro-dynamic �elds. There is a hint, furthermor e-although this is by no means
valid and final evidence-that the changing potentials of the
tree follow, by a predictable amount of time, the changing rela
tive sun spot numbers. As the sun spot numbers increase, voltage
gradients in the trees increase. When the relative sun spot num
bers decrease, there is a corresponding decrease in the voltage
gradients in the trees. 104 ANTENNAE TO THE UNIVE RSE
Since the plots are derived from numbers scattered over an
eleven-year cycle, and since there is good evidence to show that
these electro-metric numbers in living systems are not random
numbers but are valid evidences of changing electrical properties
of a living system, it would seem possible to conclude with reason
able assurance that there is a close relationship between the
electrical environment of the tree and the activities recorded
electrically in the trees themselves. These changes could not
possibly be the result of accidental correspondences. The num
bers recorded are too great over too long a period of time to be
chance observations. It will be remembered that the primary assumption made at the
outset of this study was that the electrical properties of a living
system were evidence of an inherent electro-dynamic field. Since
it is common knowledge that one field cannot exist within an
other field without an interaction between them, and the field
properties of the ionosphere are modified by the bursts of sun
spot activity, the effect on the electrical characteristics of the
ciwironment of the earth are really no more than might be
expected. It would seem reasonable to conclude, therefore, that a study
of longer duration with more sources of information might make
it abundantly clear that the field properties, not only of living
systems but of the Universe, interact in characteristic fashions
and produce results of great significance. 6
All this is of prime importanc e since we are now exploring
space, which also must possess field properties. This badly-neg
lected aspect of environment study should be explored inten
s


 much more profound and
intelligent than all the doctors and professors of medicine in all the universities of our
civilization. Smart doctors run away as fast as possible when you ask your first dietary
question, "what can I  eat doctor?" The ignorant and stupid ones of the medical
community are constantly dreaming up "fad diets" that flourish for a season but are
always soon replaced by a new fad diet. GOLDEN RULES OF DIETARY FOOD INTAKE
A. Use small amounts of a variety of natural unprocessed organic foods:
1. Use two eggs daily. 2. Use heavy cream and pure butter freely. 3. Use foods that are unprocessed. 4. Rotate meats (after first six months on your program)
a) Day one -  three ounces of beef liver raw blended with fresh vegetable
juice;
b) Day two -  three ounces of steamed or roasted chicken;
c) Day three -  three ounces of fish; etc. B. Use natural whole foods your body craves. 61

Almond Diet" because the principal protein is almond and vegetable protein. Raw almonds are a very good source of protein and may be used as directed: 10
almonds at breakfast and 10 almonds at lunch. A mixture of raw almonds, cashews, pecans, filberts, Brazil nuts, walnuts,
sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds is recommended to supplement
protein during the first six months when meat proteins are severely restricted. These
should be eaten any time up to 1:00 p.m.
Cashew nuts are desirable, especially if the patient is also suffering from
hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Nuts, seeds, and grains should be stored in closed containers in a very cool
location. Refrigeration is best if one has the space. Some enzyme researchers do not recommend the use of raw seeds or nuts,
claiming that the enzyme inhibitors in the seeds or nuts make proper digestion
difficult. This is true in one sense — if raw nuts and seeds were swallowed whole
without masticating them, a person couldn't digest them properly. But if nuts and
seeds are chewed well or soaked overnight distilled or filtered water, the activity of
enzyme inhibitors is greatly reduced or nullified. Should you have difficulty chewing whole raw almonds, you may substitute two
tablespoons of pure raw almond or sesame seed butter. Phase I
Protein
We have maintained throughout this treatise that cancer is nothing more than a
pancreatic enzyme deficiency. The greatest cause of this deficiency is the amount of
cooked protein (mutated amino acids) fed into the body. The pancreas simply cannot
manufacture enough enzymes to digest the large volumes of pasteurized milk and
cheese and cooked meat we eat and have any enzymes left over to digest the foreign
protein we know as cancer. If people would not eat protein (animal) after 1:00 p.m.,
62

(or eat the animal proteins within a 4-6 hour period) 86% of cancer in the United
States could be eliminated. However, a cancer patient should never give up all protein, as they might be
tempted to do when they first learn that too much protein in the diet prevents the
pancreas from ridding the body of cancer. The pancreatic enzymes themselves
consist of protein (amino acids), and unless the body is fed adequate protein, the
pancreatic enzyme production w ill stop and the cancer tissue will make a very rapid
growth. The total withdrawal from protein has been the fallacy of many cancer diets,
such as the "Grape Cure." This is also the reason these diets have worked so well for
the first few months — no protein — thus freeing the pancreatic enzymes to digest the
cancer. Yet, over prolonged periods of total abstinence from protein, the pancreas
fails. Proper balance and regulated intake is the answer. Protein Timing
It is not only imperative that the correct kind and quantity of protein be eaten, but
of equal importance, it must be taken at a specific time. We have found that regular
proteins should be taken at breakfast and lunch only. When this is strictly observed
the pancreatic enzymes, used in digestion of protein, are used only about 6 hours. This leaves 18 hours for production of pancreatic enzymes to digest cancer tissue. If the average cancer patient is carefully observed, it w ill be noted that they start
the day with protein — a glass of milk, ham and/or bacon and eggs, or milk with
cereal. By mid-morning they are ravenous and have a candy bar, peanuts, doughnuts
or sweet rolls with a soft drink or coffee. For lunch they normally have a roast beef
sandwich, or chicken fried in "trans-fatty acid" vegetable oil, or a hamburger. By mid
afternoon they are again hungry and have been attacked by low blood sugar, so they
perk themselves up with coffee or a soft drink. Dinner consists of a charbroiled steak,
or a piece of roast beef or other cooked meat with white flour gravy and cooked-to-
death vegetables. For dessert there is ice cream or pie a la mode with another glass of
milk. It is impossible for the pancreas to produce enough enzymes under these
conditions. Eggs
Eggs are an unusually good source of protein, well balanced and the standard by
which all protein is evaluated. They have all the essential amino acids in proper
proportions. The cancer patient may have two eggs (preferably raw) each day at
anytime. Proper preparation of eggs is of vital importance. The eggs must be heated in the
63

shell. We bring our eggs to a temperature of 140° F. to 160° F. (which is the normal
temperature of hot tap water), for five minutes before cracking them. This destroys an
enzyme just inside the membrane under the shell that prevents the biotin in the egg
from functioning normally. When biotin functions properly, it greatly reduces the
cholesterol risks of eating eggs. After preheating before cracking them, the eggs may then be eaten, as you prefer
them. Raw and soft-boiled eggs are the most preferable, though it isn't absolutely
necessary to eat them in these forms. In keeping with the use of as much raw food as
possible, a good procedure is to eat the eggs raw in a blended drink of some kind,
flavored to suit one's taste. There was a group of research doctors and dentists who, for at least a dozen years,
had eaten two eggs daily (properly prepared as above), as part of a well-balanced
nutritional program. Tests conducted on these people showed no increase in
cholesterol. In fact, there was a significant decrease in the blood serum cholesterol
level of each individual. Misconceived beliefs of the orthodox medical world about eating cholesterol-
containing foods have caused countless people to be unduly alarmed about
cholesterol levels and the associated possibility of heart attacks. These
misconceptions, carried on from the early 1950's, have been proven false. Liver
Liver is a wonderful energy food and cannot be surpassed as a blood builder. It is
especially crucial for leukemia and lymphoma patients, as their blood is unusually
weak. However, all cancer patients can benefit from the intake of raw liver before
noon each day. In the mid 1960s, when Dr. Kelley was told he was in the final stages
of pancreatic and liver cancer, he found that raw liver blended into carrot juice gave
him strength when everything else he ate made him feel ill. Raw organic, antibiotic-free and hormone-free liver contains a multitude of live
enzymes, amino acids and other intrinsic factors that science has not yet identified,
which are destroyed when the liver is cooked. (References to "intrinsic" or
"unidentified" food factors are fairly common in nutritional literature. They result
from clinical reactions, which cannot be linked to known nutrients. Raw liver for
cancer patients is an excellent example of powerful therapeutic, but unexplained,
effects.) There are no supplements or drugs that can take the place of raw liver; none
are in any way comparable in their effects. Eating raw liver ensures thorough
digestion and the replacement of expended nutrients, promoting excellent health. Raw liver is best if it is organic, antibiotic-free, hormone-free and not irradiated. 64

However, if this type of raw liver is unavailable, 3 to 6 TBS of fresh muscle meat,
steaks and ground, may be eaten, raw also, are acceptable even if you buy them at
regular markets. Organically grown and not irradiated is always more nutritious and
preferable. But if organic isn't available, commercial is healthier than none. At least 3
and no more than 6 heaping tablespoons of raw liver should be taken daily. Chewing the liver is best for proper digestion. However, if masticating it is too
objectionable, it w ill digest well even swallowed whole, if it is sliced into small
enough cubes, and if adequate hydrochloric acid and enzymes are taken. There are two methods which people find suitable for preparing liver:
1. The liver can be sliced about 1/4 inch thick x 3" long. One can then use
plastic sandwich bags, putting 3 to 6 tablespoons of frozen cubed liver in each
bag and storing
