Few areas of our thinking, or our circumstances, can be more stressful than
work and money. The late actress Sophie Tucker is credited with having
said, “I’ve been  rich and I’ve been poor, and believe me, rich is better.”
Most people would agree.
At a time when the institutional  processes normally counted on to support
our finan cial good have gone south, if not completely haywire, many people
are looking for alternative route s to economic security. We want to work,
but can’t find work. We want to invest, but don’t feel we can do so safely.
We want to have enough money  in the bank, and find ourselves terrified at
the thought that we might not.
It is often at the moment when our way isn’t working anymo re that we
open our minds  to consider something new. Finance is just one of many
areas where an increasingly obsolete, materially based worldview is
proving inadequ ate to the chall enges of the times in which we live, and
more and more people are finding practical wisdom in spiritual
understanding. Dogmas and doctrines—both religious and economic—are
being left behind  as a deeper realization of the power of consciousness and
its primacy in the creation of human affairs becomes a more popular avenue
to a happy life.
Spiritual truth is expressed in many forms, both religious and secular. I
have been a student of a set of books called A Cours e in Miracles —a self-
study program of psychotherapy based on universal spiritual themes—for
thirty-five years. As a teacher of the principles of the Course,  I’ve had the
opportunity to witness as well as experience their practical applicability.
The crux of the Course,  which is not a religion and has no dogma or
doctrine, is the relinquishment of fear and the acceptance of love into ourhearts to replace it. I’ve seen miraculous transformations occu r when we
change the nature of our thinking from fear and limitation to faith and love.
From a metaphysical perspectiv e, every experience begins with a thought,
and our experie nce changes when we change the thought. If we have a
problem in any area—whether relationships, health, money, or anything
else—the first place to look for a solution is in the nature of our thinking.
This applies to money no more and no less than it applies to anything else.
This book is a guide to spiritual principles that pave the way to material
abundance. These principles are based on my understanding of A Course in
Miracles.  Theory  alone does not change our lives, but theory activated by
mental shifts and behavioral follow-up becomes nothing short of
miraculous help in even the most troubled times.

THE MAIN  PRINCIPL E of A Cours e in Miracles,  and key to the peace of God,
is this: “Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists.” Love is the
all-encompassing reality of God and thus can have no opposite. The
absence of love, which is fear, is mere illusion. Love is the only eternal
truth, while fear is a hallucination of the mortal mind. Throughout this
book, the fear -mind will be referred to as the ego.
Every thought is a cause that produces an effect. According to A Course in
Miracles,  every thought we think creates form on some level. If your mind
is in a loving place—if your thoughts are of a high, divine vibration—your
experience will reflect that. If your mind is in a fearful place—if your
thoughts are of a lower, dense vibration—your experience will reflect that.
The way to change the nature of your experience is to change the nature of
your thoughts.
Seeking to solve a problem merely on the level of effect is not a true
solution but only a temporary fix. Only when we address the level of cause
—the thoughts that caused the original deviation from love—do  we produce
miraculous and fundamental results. By remembering what is real while in
the presence of the unreal, we miraculously transform a problem on the
level of its cause. A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love—from
a belief in what is not real, to faith in that which is. That shift in perception
changes everything.In our ability to think about something differently lies the power to make
it different. Miraculous thinking does not represent a state of denial, at least
not in the traditional sense. It doesn’ t represent the magical thinking of
simply looking away from something horrible and pretending it doesn’ t
exist. If anythin g, it is a state of positive  denial: looking  at something and
knowing that since only love is ultimately real, nothing else has ultimate
effect. The miracle-worker does not look away from the illusions of the
mortal world but rather looks through  them, thus invoking a world that lies
beyond. This book is not about denying our economic problem s; it’s about
transcending them. It’s about realizing that illusions—no matter how
entrenched they might be within the three-dimensional world—cannot stand
in the presence of love.
Through the authority of loving  thought, we are given the power to turn
any situation that is not love back into love, starting with thinking about it
differently. We do this by identifying our own lovelessness and being
willing to let it go. Thinking this way—which is sometimes easy,
sometimes not—is the mental habit of the “miracle-minded.”
God has introduced into our minds an Internal Teacher, authorized to help
us cross the bridge from fear to love when we find it difficult to do so by
ourselves. The Internal Teacher is called by different names, from the
Comforter, to Jesus, to the Holy Spirit. Whatever name we use, it cannot be
called on in vain. Miracles are a divine intercession from a thought system
beyond our own, bringing inner light into a darkened world.
And miracles are summoned by conviction. Conviction can be seen as an
attitudinal muscle that gives us strength to see beyond appearances and
invoke the possibilities that lie there. With God’ s help, our own particular
worldly veil of illusion—whether it takes the form of bankruptcy, recession,
or any other form of fear—is lifted, and we can see beyond it. No matter
what our problem, or its form or size, an infinite field of miraculous
possibility awaits our open-mindedness and love. “Miracles occur naturally
as expre ssions of love,” according to A Cours e in Miracles.  This book is
about money, miracles, and love.

SOME PEO PLE MIG HT read this book and say, “Oh yeah? Well what about
starving children  in Africa? Are they poor because their consciousness isunaligned with love?” I’d like to take this opportunity to respond to that.
Starving childre n in Africa are not poor because their consci ousness is
unaligned with love; they’re poor because ours is. A billion people on earth
live in “deep poverty”—that is, on less than a dollar and twenty-five cents a
day. A billion more live on less than two dollars a day. Yet this is not an
“exception” to the rule that love casts out fear. Quite the opposite, it is a
collective lovelessness on the part of the advanced nations of the world that
allows us to accept the reality of deep poverty, thus deflecting a miraculous
solution. When we collectively make love our bottom line—making
humanitarian values rather than short-term economics the organizing
principle of human civilization—then the situation will indeed miraculously
change. Accordi ng to economist Jeffrey Sachs, one hundred billion dollars
(one-seventh of the annual military defense budget of


including Spanish pimentos, Anaheim and
Hungarian cherry peppers.
Red chilli peppers, such as cayenne, have
been shown to reduce blood cholesterol,
triglyceride levels and platelet
aggregation, while increasing the body’s
ability to dissolve fibrin, a substance
integral to the formation of blood clots.
Cultures where hot pepper is used
liberally have a much lower rate of heart
attack, stroke and pulmonary embolism.
Capsaicin not only reduces pain, but its
peppery heat also stimulates secretions
that help clear mucus from your stuffed-upnose or congested lungs. The chilli
pepper’s bright red colour signals its high
content of beta-carotene or pro-vitamin A.
Just two teaspoons of red chilli peppers
provide about six percent of the
recommended daily value for vitamin C
coupled with more than ten percent of the
daily value for vitamin A. Often called the
anti-infection vitamin, vitamin A is
essential for healthy mucous membranes
which line the nasal passages, lungs,
intestinal tract and urinary tract, and
serves as the body’s first defence against
invading germs.
The capsaicin in red chilli peppers stops
the spread of prostate cancer cells through
a variety of mechanisms, indicated in astudy published in a 2006 issue of Cancer
Research
. Capsaicin triggers suicide in
both primary types of prostate cancer cell
line, those whose growth is stimulated by
male hormones and those not affected by
them.
Chives
Chives are the onion family’s smallest
species. They are called chives as they
always grow in clumps. They are native to
North America, Europe and Asia. Chives
are mainly used for culinary purposes
especially in soups and dishes using
potatoes and fish.The use of chives as a medicine is similar
to that of garlic, only a little weaker.
Chives help improve blood circulation
and lower blood pressure. They are also a
good source of vitamins A and C, calcium,
potassium and folic acid. The
best-known
benefit of chives is that they reduce the
growth of tumours and cancer. They are
helpful in stomach and esophageal cancer
as well as prostate cancer, although you
would need to consume a lot to get the
medicinal benefits.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a tree that grows in India, Sri
Lanka, Indonesia, Brazil, Vietnam andEgypt. It is one of the oldest spices,
known since ancient times. To prepare it,
the bark of the cinnamon tree is dried and
rolled into cinnamon sticks, also called
quills, which is known as ‘real’ cinnamon
(cinnamon zeylanicum). Cinnamon can
also be dried and ground into powder
form.
In traditional Chinese medicine, a
different type of cinnamon (known as
cinnamon cassia) is used for colds,
flatulence, nausea, diarrhoea and painful
menstrual periods. It is also believed to
improve energy, vitality and circulation,
and to be particularly useful for people,
like me, who tend to feel hot in their upper
body but have cold feet. I often usecinnamon sticks in my tea during winter
and it does help with the cold feet
syndrome.
Cinnamon is an excellent source of
manganese, dietary fibre, iron and
calcium. Antioxidants found in cinnamon
include epicatechin, camphene, eugenol,
phenol, salicylic acid and tannins. A study
of the antioxidant properties of spices
determined that adding flavouring
substances such as cinnamon in the
preparation of tea (including black tea and
green tea) enhanced its total antioxidant
activities – a welcome additional benefit.
Cinnamon is a powerful inducer of insulin
sensitivity making it an effective treatmentfor both type 2 diabetes and metabolic
syndrome. In his book,
Medicinal
Seasonings
, author Dr Keith Scott
indicates that recent landmark clinical
trials have shown that the daily addition of
as little as one gram of cinnamon to the
diet leads to a reduction of blood glucose
levels of between 18 and 29 percent in
type 2 diabetics. In a study published by
researchers at the U.S. Department of
Agriculture in Maryland, cinnamon
reduced the proliferation of leukaemia and
lymphoma cancer cells. It has an anti-
clotting effect on the blood. The results
from a study at the Nutrient Requirements
and Functions Laboratory suggest the
potential of polyphenols from cinnamon in
inhibiting tumour cell proliferation.Coriander
Coriander is a powerful herb with many
health benefits. Commonly known as
cilantro, this leafy herb is used in most
cuisines. Originating in the Mediterranean
region, it thrives in black soil and arid
regions.
Coriander leaves contain protein, fat,
minerals, fibre, carbohydrates and water.
The minerals and vitamins include vitamin
C, calcium, phosphorus, iron, carotene,
thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, sodium,
potassium and oxalic acid. The leaves act
as stimulants; they strengthen the stomach
and promote digestion, increase secretionand discharge of urine and reduce fever.
The juice of coriander is beneficial in
producing vitamins A, B1 and B2, and
iron. Coriander seeds are known to
alleviate excessive menstrual flow. Dried
coriander is excellent in treating
conjunctivitis. It relieves burning and
reduces pain and swelling.
Coriander’s anti-tumorigenic properties
have been demonstrated in relation to
colon cancer. It works by protecting
against the damaging effects of lipid
oxidation associated with this malignancy.
It is highly probable that coriander also
contributes to the low incidences of
several other types of cancer seen in the
populations of Eastern nations thatconsume it in large quantities.
Coriander lowers cholesterol and
triglyceride levels, helping to reduce the
risk of atherosclerosis and thereby heart
attack and stroke. It does this through two
mechanisms: by inhibiting the uptake of
these lipids in the intestines, and by
enhancing their breakdown and excretion.
Cumin
Native to the Eastern Mediterranean
region, this spice has been used by humans
since ancient times. In ancient Egypt,
cumin was added to food as a condiment
and used in the mummification of the dead.The Romans and ancient Greeks likewise
used cumin in cooking and also for
cosmetic purposes, and it is mentioned in
the Bible as a form of payment. Today,
cumin is an important component of a
variety of cuisines, including Middle
Eastern, Indian, North African and South
American.
Cumin has been used traditionally as an
analgesic and also to treat indigestion.
The seeds themselves are rich in iron and
are thought to help stimulate the secretion
of enzymes from the pancreas, which can
help absorb nutrients into the system. It
has also been shown to boost the power of
the liver’s ability to detoxify the body.
Recent studies have revealed that cuminseeds might also have anti-carcinogenic
properties. In laboratory tests, this
powerful little seed was shown to reduce
the risk of stomach and liver tumours in
animals.
The health benefits of cumin for digestive
disorders have been well-known
throughout history. It can help with
flatulence, indigestion, diarrhoea, nausea,
morning sickness and atonic dyspepsia.
Cumin is also said to help relieve the
symptoms of the common cold due to its
antiseptic properties.
Curry LeavesThe curry leaf comes from a shrub native
to India and is an important ingredient in
spicy Eastern dishes. Ironically, it is not
always added to the curry powders in the
west, which generally consist of a
combination of other spices such as
cumin, coriander, black pepper, ginger
and fenugreek.
The curry leaf contains the antiviral
compounds linalool and limonene, which
have also demonstrated protective effects
against some cancers. Curry leaves in
general can stimulate salivary secretions,
which in turn initiate the secretion of
digestive juices. In South India, curry
leaves are used to control blood sugar in
non-insulin dependent diabetics.The fruit from the curry tree are purplish
berries. The juice from these berries
mixed with lime juice forms an acidic and
effective solution for external relief from
insect bites and stings.
Fennel Seeds
Fennel seeds have a similar flavour to
aniseed or liquorice and are quite strong.
They are used in many European dishes to
flavour fish, bread and confectionaries.
The more subtly-flavoured stalks are
widely used as a vegetable and in salads.
In ancient Greece, fennel was known as
‘marathon’, because it grew at the famous
battle site, and it was used as a symbol ofvictory.
Fennel contains a variety of important
vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants,
including limonene which has anti-cancer
properties. It is an excellent source of
folate, fibre and potassium. These
nutrients are essential for good colon and
cardiovascular health. The health benefits
of fennel also include keeping cholesterol
and blood pressure levels down. Fennel
can help reduce


 pend on two factors—oxygen saturation
during training and the length of the exposure to reduced oxygen—but slow
and steady is the way to go, just as it is whenever you start a new exercise
program. T o get the most out of breath-hold exercises, it helps to startgently, h olding the breath until you feel a medium air hunger during the
first two or thre e breath holds b efore gradually increasing the duration and
intensity. This way, you will fe el in control and be able to practice more
ef fectively. As your BOL T score increases, you will find it easier to manage
the sensation of air hunger, and your blood oxygen saturation will start to
drop below 94 percent.
Simulate High-Altitude T raining While W alking
W e beg in by introducing a simple walking exercise that ena bles you to
achieve similar benefits to those experienced during intense physical
training in as litt le as 10 to 15 m inutes. The beauty of this exercise is that it
can be performed anywhere and at any time, even if an injury is preventing
you from  engaging in normal training. Similar to any intense physical
exercise, it is important to practice at least two hours after eating. Just as it
is not advisable to go for a jog directly after eating, it is also best to practice
breathing exercises on an empty stomach. Not only would it be
uncomfortable to  perform breath holds too soon after a meal, bu t the benefit
of the exercise would be much reduced as the process of digestion increases
breathing.
During this exercise you will be practicing breath holds as you walk.
For the first 2 to  3 breath holds,  in order to gently acclimatize your body to
lower levels of oxygen, it’ s important to hold your breath only until you feel
a medium hunger for air. For the  remaining breath holds, challenge yourself
by aiming to ac hieve a relatively strong need for air. Due to a delay in the
pulse tra nsit tim e, it is commo n for the decrease in oxygen saturation to
take plac e not during the breath hold, but soon after it. Therefore, to get the
most fro m the exercise, minimize breathing for about 15 seconds following
the breath hold by taking short breaths in and out through the nose. If you
have a pulse ox imeter, you might enjoy observing the decre ase to your
oxygen saturation as you do this—ef fectively simulating h igh-altitude
training and bringing the mountain to you.•   W alk and hold:  Aft er a minute of continuous walking, gently
exhale a nd pinch your nose to  hold your breath. If you feel
uncomfortable pinching your nose while walking in public, you
can simply hold your breath without holding your nose.
Continue to walk while holding your breath until you feel a
medium to strong air shortage. Release your nose, inhale
through it, and minimize your breathing by taking very short
breaths for about 15 seconds. Then allow your breathing to
return to normal.
•   Continue walking for 30 seconds and r epeat:  Continue
walking for around 30 seconds while breathing through your
nose, the n gently exhale and pin ch your nose with your fingers.
W alk w hile holding the breath until you feel a medium to
strong h unger for air. Release your nose and minimize your
breathing by taking short breath s in and out through your nose
for a bout 15 se conds. Then allow your breathing to revert to
normal.•   Repeat br eath holds 8 to 10 tim es:  While continuing to walk,
perform a breath hold every minute or so in order to create a
medium to strong need for air. Minimize your breathing for 15
seconds following each breath hold. Repeat for a total of 8 to
10 breath holds during your walk.
This exercise will take about 12 minutes to complete and is highly
ef fective at teaching your body to do more with less. At first yo u may only
be able to hold your breath for 20 or 30 paces before you feel a strong air
shortage (or less if you have ast hma or are out of breath). As the number of
paces per breath hold increases, the air shortage you experience will
progress from easy to moderate to strong. As you feel an increased hunger
for air, the breathing muscles in your abdomen or neck will begin to
contract or spasm. An added ef fect of the contractions is to p rovide your
diaphragm with a workout, thereby strengthening your main breathing
muscle. During the longer breath holds, as you feel your breathing muscles
spasm, f ocus on  relaxing your b ody. Allow your muscles to go soft as you
hold your breath. Relaxing the body in this way allows a longer breath hold
with less stress.
W ith repetition, as the weeks go by, you will find yourself being able to
hold your breath for 80 to 100 paces. Y our ability to hold your breath will
increase with practice and without stressing your body. Do not overdo it.
Ideally, your breathing should re cover easily and become calm w ithin 3 or 4
breaths. While this exercise is a challenge, it should not be stressful.
If you notice any side ef fects, such as an elevated or stronger than
normal p ulse for  a prolonged pe riod after completing breath holding, then it
is b est to refra in from performing the stronger breath holds. Instead,
concentrate on breathing lightly  both during rest and physical exercise to
bring benefit to your health and sports.
Breath holding can also be incorporated into a jog, run, or bike ride.
While you may not be able to h old your breath for as many paces during a
jog as you can during a walk, the quality of the exercise will be better
because of the greater accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood.
Breath holding during training  adds an extra load that would only
otherwise be experienced during maximum intensity exercise.Here is a breath-hold exercise to try while jogging or running:
•   Run and hold:  T en  to fifteen minutes into your run, when your
body has warmed up and is sw eating, gently exhale and hold
your br eath until you experience a medium to strong air
shortage. The length of the breath hold may range from 10 to
40 p aces and w ill depend on your running speed and BOL T
score.
•   Br eak f or 1 minute and r epe at:  Following the breath hold,
continue to jog or run with nasal breathing for about 1 minute,
until your breathing has partially recovered.
•   Repeat br eath holds 8 to 10 times:  Rep eat the brea th hold 8 to
10 t imes during your run, follo wed each time by a minute of
nasal breathing. The breath holds should be challenging but
should also allow breathing to  recover to normal within a
couple of breaths.If you find this exercise in any way stressful, or have dif ficulty
recovering your  breathing after a breath hold, then refrain from doing the
exercise until your BOL T score has increased to at least 20 seconds.
Br eath Holding During Cycling
A similar practice can be employed as you ride your bicycle:
•   A fter your bo dy has warmed up, exhale and hold your breath
for 5 to 15 pedal rotations.
•   Resume nasal breathing while continuing to cycle for about 1
minute.
•  Repeat this exercise 8 to 10 times throughout your ride.
Br eath Holding During Swimming
Swimming is the only sport in which breathing volume is controlled, as the
face is immersed in the water and the weight of the body on the water
restricts breathing even further. Breathing through the mouth is probably the
best opt ion during swimming,  as nasal breathing may result in water
inhalation.
T o incor porate reduced breathing during swimming, you will need to
increase the number of strokes between breaths. Y ou can do this in gradual
increments, incr easing the number of strokes between breaths fr om 3 to 5 to
7 over a series of lengths. This exercise was employed by former Olympic
swimmer and triathlete Sheila T aormina, who achieved the fastest 1.5 km
swim during the Sydney Gam es in 2000. In my correspon dence with
T aormina, she explained how reduced breathing was used to create a
training ef fect so that the swimmer would be challenged to do more with
less. However, unlike some spo rts, such as underwater hockey, the breath
hold is never pushed to an absol ute maximum, in order to ensure the safety
of the swimmer.In addition to the hematological benefits from breath-hold training, it
has been found that breath ho lds also improve swimming coordination.
After breath-hold training, swimmers have shown increases in VO 2  peak as
well as an increase in the distance traveled with each swimm ing stroke.
During t he front crawl it is necessary to turn the head sideway s every few
strokes in order to take a breath. However, each time a swim mer takes a
breath, hydrodynamic drag take s place, which ultimately wastes ener gy and
reduces performance. One of the benefits of having a high BOL T score is
that bre athing becomes more ef ficient,


 is
plenty! It is a very powerful substance! The flavor of wheat grass juice is sointense that some people have to mix it with carrot juice to get it down. DO NOTOVERUSE. The energizing effects of wheat grass can be so powerful that somepeople make a regular practice of drinking it. However, I’ve seen many peoplewho use wheat grass juice as a tonic become allergic to it much as antibioticdependent people do to antibiotics. Better to save wheat grass for emergencies.
I also have treated my own breast cancers—twice. The first time I was only
23 years old. One night I noticed that it hurt to sleep the way I usually did on myleft side because there was a hard lump in my left breast. It was quite large—about the size of a goose egg. Having just completed RN training two years prior,I had been well brain washed about my poor prognosis and knew exactly whatrequisite actions must taken.
I scheduled a biopsy under anesthetic, so that if the tumor was malignant they
could proceed to full mastectomy without delay. I was ignorant of any alternativecourse of action at the time.
I might add that before I grew my first tumor I had been consuming large
amounts of red meat in a mistaken understanding gained in nursing school that agood diet contained large amounts of animal protein. In addition to the stress ofbeing a full time psychology graduate student existing on a very low budget, I wasexperiencing I very frustrating relationship with a young man that left meconstantly off center and confused.
A biopsy was promptly performed. The university hospital’s SOP required
that three pathologists make an independent decision about the nature of a tumorbefore proceeding with radical surgery. Two of the pathologist agreed that mytumor was malignant, which represented the required majority vote. But thesurgeon removed only the lump, which he said was well encapsulated and forsome reason did not proceed with a radical mastectomy. These days manysurgeons routinely limit themselves to lumpectomies.
I never did find out why I awakened from general anesthetic with two breasts,
but I have since supposed that due to my tender age the surgeon was reluctant todisfigure me without at least asking me for permission, or giving me some time toprepare psychologically. When I came out of anesthesia he told me that the lumpwas malignant, and that he had removed it, and that he needed to do a radicalmastectomy to improve my prognosis over the next few years. He asked me tothink it over, but he signed me up on his surgery list for the following Monday.
I did think it over and found I was profoundly annoyed at the idea of being
treated like I was just a statistic, so I decided that I would be unique. I made afirm decision that I would be well and stay well—and I was for the next fifteenyears. The decision healed me.
When I was 37 I had a recurrence. At the time I had in residence Ethyl and
Marge, the two far-gone breast cancer cases I already told you about. I also hadin residence a young woman with a breast tumor who had not undergone anymedical treatment, not even a lumpectomy. (I will relate her case in detail shortly.)I was too identified emotionally with helping these three, overly-empathetic due to
my own history. I found myself taking on their symptoms and their pain. I went so
far into sympathy as to grow back my tumor—just as it had the first time—a lumpmushroomed from nothing to the size of a goose egg in only three weeks inexactly the same place as the first one. Just out of curiosity I went in for a needlebiopsy. Once again it was judged to be malignant, and I got the same pressurefrom the surgeon for immediate surgery. This time, however, I had an alternativesystem of healing that I believed in. So I went home, continued to care for myvery sick residents, and began to work on myself.
The first thing I had to confront about myself was that I was being a
compassionate fool. I needed to learn how to maintain my own personalboundaries, and clearly delineate what stuff in my mind and my body was reallymine and what was another’s. I needed to apply certain mental techniques of self-protection known to and practiced by many healers. I knew beyond doubt that Ihad developed sympathetic breast cancer because a similar phenomena hadhappened to me before. Once, when I had previously been working on a personwith very severe back pain with hands-on techniques, I suddenly had the pain,and the client was totally free of it. So I protected myself when working with sickpeople. I would wash my hands and arms thoroughly with cold water, or withwater and vinegar after contact. I would shake off their “energy,” have a coldshower, walk bare foot on the grass, and visualize myself well with intactboundaries. These prophylaxes had been working for me, but I was particularlyvulnerable to people with breast cancer.
I also began detoxification dieting, took more supplements, and used
acupressure and reflexology as my main lines of attack. My healing diet consistedof raw food exclusively. I allowed myself fruits (not sweet fruits) and vegetables(including a lot of raw cabbage because vegetables in the cabbage family such ascauliflower and broccoli are known to have a healing effect on cancer), rawalmonds, raw apricot kernels, and some sprouted grains and legumes. I drankdiluted carrot juice, and a chlorophyll drink made up of wheat grass and barley
green and aloe vera juice. I took echinaechia, red clover, and fenugreek seeds. I
worked all the acupuncture points on my body that strengthen the immune system,including the thymus gland, lymph nodes, and spleen. I also worked the meridians,and reflex points for the liver, and large intestine. I massaged the breast along thenatural lines of lymphatic drainage from the area.
Last, and of great importance, I KNEW that the treatment would work, and
that the tumor would quickly disappear. It did vanish totally in three months. Itwould have gone away quicker if I had water fasted, but I was unable to do thisbecause I needed physical strength to care for my resident patients and family.
Eighteen years have passed since that episode, and I have had no further
reappearance of breast tumors. At age 55 I still have all my body parts, and havehad no surgery except the original lumpectomy. Many, viewing my muscles andathletic performance, would say my health is exceptional but I know my ownfrailties and make sure I do not aggravate them. I still have exactly the same organdeficiencies as other cancer patients and must keep a very short leash on mylifestyle.
If for some reason I wanted to make my life very short, all I would have to do
would be to abandon my diet, stop taking supplements, eat red meat and icecream every day and be unhappy about something. Incidentally, I have had manyresidential clients with breast cancer since then, and have not taken on theirsymptoms, so I can assume that I have safely passed that hurdle.
I’ve helped dozens of cases of simple breast cancer where my treatment
began before the cancer broadly spread. Kelly’s case was not the easiest of thisgroup, nor the hardest. Sometimes there was lymphatic involvement that themedical doctors had not yet treated in any way. All but one of my early-onsetbreast cancer cases recovered. I believe those are far better results than achievedby AMA treatment.
Before I crow too much, let me stress that every one of these women was a
good candidate for recovery—under 40 years old, ambulatory and did not feel
very sick. And most importantly, every one of them had received no other
debilitating medical treatment except a needle biopsy or simple lumpectomy.None of these women had old tumors (known about for more than six months)and none of the tumors were enormous (nothing larger than a walnut).
Clearly, this group is not representative of the average breast cancer case.
Hygienic therapy for cancer is a radical idea these days and tends to attractyounger people, or older, desperate people who have already been through theworks. In every one of my simple cases the tumors were reabsorbed by the bodyduring the thirty days of water fasting and the client left happy.
Except one. I think I should describe this unsuccessful case, this “dirty case,”
so my readers get a more balanced idea of how fearsome cancer really isn’t if thesick person can clearly resolve to get better and has no problem about achievingwellness.
Marie was an artisan and musician from Seattle who grew up back East in an
upper-middle class dysfunctional family. She was in her late twenties. She hadbeen sexually abused by an older brother, was highly reactive, and had neverbeen able to communicate honestly with anyone except her lesbian lover(honestly?, maybe, about some things).
Three years prior to coming to see me Marie had been medically diagnosed as
having breast cancer and had been advised to have immediate surgery. Sheignored this advice; Marie never told her friends, said nothing to her family andtried to conceal it from her lover because she did not want to disrupt their life.
On her own she did begin eating a Macrobiotic diet. In spite of this diet, the
tumor grew, but grew very slowly. After two years the tumor was discovered byher lover, who after a year of exhausting and upsetting arguments, forced Marie toseek treatment. Since Marie adamantly refused to go the conventional medicalroute, she ended up on my doorstep as a compromise.
By this time the tumor was the size of a fist and had broken through the skin of
the left breast. It was very ugly, very hard. Biokinesiology showed


 corrections.

medicine after twenty-five years of a purely conventional approach.
 I have also received huge help from Tamsin wright-carpenter in the compilation of the references and

invaluable advice.

 INTRODUCTION

“Aloe, what? Yes, I think that I’ve heard of it. That stuff they put in cosmetics.”

This was part of a conversation that took place just over three years ago with a patient at mine. She was
the mother of a little boy with eczema, whose problem had apparently miraculously cleared up completely
after applying a cream containing Aloe Vera with bee propolis. In case you don't know as I didn’t at the time. Bee propolis is obtained from the lining of bee hives and is the substance responsible for keeping
the hive sterile. It is known to possess powerful antimicrobial properties which make the inside of a
beehive more sterile than an operating theatre. Bees make propolis by collecting resins from trees such as
pines and poplars which they then mix with their own enzymes to create the sticky substance called
propolis or bee glue.
Since then I have been fortunate to meet with Dr William Davey who, amongst other things holds a royal
Charter as Honorary Homeopathic Physician to Her Majesty The Queen. He started life as a chest
physician but he has also been involved in research. A main part of that research has been into bee
propolis and his findings are shortly to be published as a thesis. In it he will demonstrate the active
ingredient in propolis which is a most powerful antimicrobial agent, capable of even killing
mycobacterium Tuberculosis. He has also shown that the propolis itself is more active as a whole than the pure extract. The idea of synergy in plant ingredients is a theme then I will be dwelling on later in the
book, as I believe in the truth of an Ayurvedic text from India:

“Extracting drugs from a part of a plant is taking out the intelligence and throwing away the
wisdom”

The conversation with that mother was not only to change attitude to Aloe Vera, but also to herbal,
nutritional, and complementary medicine in general. In fact it would totally change my approach to the
practice of medicine, and change my life.
 At the time, I confess I was irritated by the mothers remarks and certainly very sceptical as she went on to
tell me that I must try the cream because it had succeeded where all my moisturisers and steroid creams
had failed. Eczema, of course, is known to naturally wax and wane, so it had to he coincidental, didn’t it?

Up to then I had been a General Practitioner for twenty-five years and a strictly conventional one at that. I left it to my partners to indulge in acupuncture, homeopathy, applied kinesiology and nutritional medicine

 As this patient was also a friend, it was not long before we met again and inevitably the subject of Aloe
Vera came up. But now I was invited to drink the stuff as well as to rub it on. The more uses she
mentioned, the more I switched off and the more sceptical I became. However, I knew she wouldn’t go away so I promised that I would read the company literature that she had given me on the previous
occasion.

The company was biased, as I expected it to be, but there was something about this herb's history that
caught my interest. There were references to Alexander the Great, Cleopatra and Nefertiti, no doubt a
mythical association, but it prompted me to go as far as asking the secretary of my local post-graduate
medical centre to dig out anything she could find on Aloe Vera.
She came up with forty papers from around the world. Although some were from fairly dubious sources,
with only one exception they all had something very positive to say about Aloe Vera. Such a high
 PART I

THE HISTORY

As I said in the introduction, it was the history of Aloe Vera that first aroused my fascination with the
plant, for it has truly stood the test of time and has been associated with some remarkable people.

The name Aloe Vera, or true Aloe, is probably derived from the Arabic word ‘ALLOEH’, Syrian
‘ALWAI’ or Hebrew ‘HALAL’ meaning a ‘shining bitter substance’. Hence the old laxative remedy ‘bitter Aloes’, still listed in the US Pharmacopoeia today.

The German Egyptologist, George Ebers (1837-1898) bought an ancient papyrus, now called the Ebers
Papyrus, dating from the reign of the Pharaoh Amen-Hotep in 1552 BC. This ancient medical treatise
listing the use of plant materials as cosmetics and drugs, including Aloes, was found between the knees of a mummy excavated near Thebes in 1858. This papyrus demonstrated the use of Aloe Vera during the
preceding 2,000 years and listed twelve different formulae for Aloe Vera preparations.

Over the centuries, there have been many references to Aloe Vera, in many different cultures, from the
Ancient Greeks and Romans to Babylonian, Indian and Chinese peoples. Important thinkers such as Celsius from the time of Jesus Christ, through to the Roman physician, Pliny the Elder and the Greek
Dioscorides all supported the therapeutic importance of Aloe Vera. Galen, the father of modern medicine,
who was the first doctor to describe how the heart and circulation worked, is known to have used it.

The first reference to Aloe Vera in English was made in AD 1655 in a translation from Dioscorides by
John Goodyear. Dioscorides wrote that this bitter tasting strongly scented liquid had “the power of
binding or procuring sleep, of drying, of thickening bodies, and loosening of ye belly and of cleansing of ye stomach”. In addition “it stops ye spitting of blood and it cleanseth ye icterus (liver)” and finally, “it
properly healeth exulterated genitalls”. Dioscorides wrote De Materia Medica from which this was
translated in AD7O-90. In this treatise he catalogued and described more than 600 plants and plant
principles.
 Dioscorides certainly got it right when it came to treating genital lesions as a most recent paper by Dr T A
Syed et al, published last year, showed that a topical 0.5% Aloe Vera extract in a randomised double blind
trial, significantly healed the lesions of genital herpes faster than a control, and prevented recurrence.

Traders first brought Aloe to London in 1693 and, by 1843, 4,227 gourds were being imported each year.
Although physicians had prescribed Aloe for more than 2,000 years, it was not until 1851 that T & H.
Smith of Edinburgh discovered Aloin, which they believed in small doses acted as a tonic assisting
digestion and exerting a special influence on the liver. In larger doses it became a strong laxative.
Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries Aloe remained one of the more popular prescribed and over the counter medicines.

The presence or absence of Aloin in modern Aloe Vera products is a controversial issue. Some companies
filter it out, whereas others leave a little in, so I will look at this closely in the section on Anthraquinones,
in which chemical group it falls.
 THE PLANT AND ITS STRUCTURE

In order to understand Aloe Vera's ability to act as a medicinal herb one must have some knowledge of its
general structure and the contents of the leaves. So, first let us look at it from a botanical point of view
and see where it fits into the plant kingdom.

Description

Aloe Vera is a succulent belonging to the lily family (Liliacae). In this family there are about 3,700
species of flowering plants, but also included are garlic, onion and asparagus of which the former is also
accredited medicinal properties. Aloe Vera itself, forms part of a subspecies (the Aloinae) of which there
are at least 200 to 300 types. No one seems to know exactly how many there are.
Most species are non-toxic but there are about 15 poisonous ones containing a deadly hemlock-like
substance - the method chosen by Socrates to commit suicide.

Of the true Aloes there are probably only four or five with documented medicinal benefits. These are:

1. Aloe Barbadensis Miller sometimes called: Aloe Linne or Aloe Vulgaris or the Curacao Aloe.
2. Aloe Perryi Baker, the Socotrine Aloe or Zanzibar Aloe.

3. Aloe Ferox often called Cape Aloe
 4. The last two and least popular are Aloe Arborescens and Aloe Saponaria which are mainly used
in Japan.

Of all of these, Aloe Barbadensis Miller is the most potent and is the one generally used in commercial
preparations in the UK and USA.
It is really the only species that should be called Aloe Vera and this name should really be reserved
exclusively for the barbadensis Miller variety. This


, what God will do
to you if you’re not obeying the laws, and even what courses you must take
in school. T ell me, please, how can people learn to become decision makers
if all decisions are already made for them by the rules and policies that you
seem to rely upon so heavily?” she asked.
I did what I always did when I couldn’ t give her a sensible answer. I
answered her question with a question.
I said, “That’ s two. Quality in place of appearance, and ethics in place of
rules. Any more?”
“Yes, my friend. I’ve noticed that most of the people on Earth substitute
domination for personal integrity or authority  in their thinking,” she said.
“How do domination and authority thinking dif fer, and how do they lead
to this global picture of our wrongness?” I asked.“Quite simply,” she replied. “Domination thinking involves victimizing
or controlling others. Much of the thinking I’ve noted is directed toward the
subjugation of others, whether it’ s nation subjugating nation, parents their
offspring, or spouses each other. There is almost a universal obsession here
with attempts to control and dominate. When thinking is directed at seeing
how much one can control others, it cannot be focused on personal
happiness and self-direction. Since we’ve already established that happiness
is an inner concept, then outer or domination thinking ultimately leads to
the wrong conclusion: ‘If only I can get the people around me to be as I
want them to be, or even as I am, then I’ll be powerful and, consequently,
happy.’”
“So what constitutes ‘authority’ or ‘integrity’ thinking, as you put it?” I
asked.
“It’s quite the opposite,” she retorted. “It is an inner rather than an outer
concept. A person devoted to increasing his authority over himself, to
becoming more personally masterful, to being able to share his mastery
with others, is not asking to dominate anyone. Such a person is using his
thought processes just to be, and to allow those around him to do the same.
He does not interfere in anyone else’ s life. He tries only to learn from others
rather than control or manipulate them. This is integrity thinking, and a
person who practices it has no need to seek authority by dominating others.
He has it automatically. Those who seek authority through domination
demonstrate their own lack of the very quality they seek to prove they
possess,” she replied.
“But what about our enemies, those who would seek to dominate us?
Don’ t we have to show them that we refuse to be dominated?” I asked.
“Again it is your domination style of thinking which leads you to ask
this. I am thinking globally. I am not talking to ‘you’ as opposed to ‘them.’
All people must be educated to think in personal integrity ways, and
ultimately end the concept of enemy once and for all. As long as you think
in we/they terms, you will be able to blame the enemy for your thoughts of
dominance. But again, save this for Saturday. I’m quite sure it will surface
many times,” she said. “There are two additional areas of myopic thought
which you need to be aware of as you prepare your Saturday agenda, even
though they overlap somewhat with the three I’ve just described. Most
people on your planet practice ‘achievement thinking,’ as opposed to‘knowledge  thinking.’ As a result many people on Earth are wrong and
ultimately neurotic and unfulfilled.
“People on Earth don’ t accept the kind of thinking that allows for
knowledge for the sake of knowledge. They see little use for knowledge
that doesn’ t lead to achievement. Hence you see the ultimate folly of
students actually purchasing credits and notations on a transcript, regardless
of whether any knowledge of the subject matter is retained. Achievement
seems to be the reason for thinking, and it is another dead-end pursuit.”
“Because?” I interrupted, just to let her know I was with her.
“Because achievements are external and happiness is internal. An A on a
transcript and an understanding of a poem are not even related in reality,
and yet most people study poetry for the grade. The use of a poem that is
understood cannot be stated in achievement terminology, nor can the money
earned from the mastery of Marketing 101, although this logic escapes most
Earthlings and also contributes to their unhappiness. Knowledge thinking
says that anything you learn can benefit you and enrich your life.
Achievement thinking says that you must be able to measure, weigh, or
spend what you study and that it will be manifested later when the fruits of
your study of behavior are to be picked. But if it fails to arrive later—and
on Earth it never does, because you only get NOW—then your achievement
thinking was all for naught. W ith knowledge thinking for the pure joy of
knowledge itself and all that it of fers, one can never be unhappy or
disappointed because the thinking, feeling, and behavior themselves are the
inner rewards. I hope we can help your people to begin to shift from
achievement thinking to knowledge thinking.”
“But then won’ t our great achievements begin to subside?” I asked.
“In fact, people chasing achievement are destined to be unfulfilled. And
this in fact inhibits their achievements, the very things they so desperately
seek. But let’ s save this also. There’ll be many questions on this one, I can
guarantee it. I suspect it is the most widespread kind of wrong thinking on
your planet.”
“You mentioned one additional element of our fuzzy thinking that leads
to our wrong conclusions,” I said.
“Yes, it’ s a summary of the above four. In place of serenity  and inner -
peace thinking, it seems to me that people on Earth are consumed with
acquisitions. Inner -serenity thinking is hardly taught anywhere on your
planet, with the possible exception of some Far Eastern cults that are lar gelyscoffed at by most of your people. And yet inner -serenity thinking is the
complete key available to virtually everyone on your planet. Physical and
mental illnesses are almost nonexistent when a person learns to think in
inner -serenity ways. Y our highest achievers, your most fulfilled people,
your most innovative minds in all fields seem to share this inner -peace
thinking, and yet so few emulate it. Instead, they substitute for it the pursuit
of things, achievements, awards, trophies, or the approval of others. If my
gift to your people is to have any significance, it must help them to
transform this kind of thinking. It is necessary to cross over from seeking
acquisitions to achieving inner perfection. When you reach the goal of a
serene feeling of wholeness, you will find acquisitions will be in amounts
sufficient to reinforce the serenity. People must stop going at it backward by
trying to make acquisitions bring about serenity. To put it simply, it is
impossible, because the thinking is wrong. I’ll see you Saturday morning,
right here. Bring your questions and prepare to represent your various roles.
Ask what you wish. I’ll speak only as I know how. That is, The T ruth,  as
seen by Eykis of Uranus.”
I wrote down the five fuzzy-thinking categories:
Quality instead of Appearance thinking.
Ethics instead of Rules thinking.
Knowledge instead of Achievement thinking.
Integrity instead of Domination thinking.
Serenity instead of Acquisitions thinking.
Then I hurried away with my notes and tapes stuf fed into my briefcase.
Saturday was less than forty-eight hours away. I suspected that I was about
to participate in bestowing the greatest gifts ever received by mankind. I
wondered also if we would ever even unwrap them. But as Eykis would say,
knowledge thinking would lead to achievement by accident. At least we
would have the knowledge. I knew I couldn’ t ask for more.

EYKIS’ GIFTS

 Reality-Only Conversations
I settled into my task with the full realization of what I wanted to
accomplish, and how precious little time was available. My objective was
clear. I was to provide Eykis with a forum in which she would be able to
offer her specialized wisdom to everyone on Earth. I could not let this
unique opportunity pass without tapping her reality-only brain to the
maximum. She had seen what she could of fer us and she didn’ t take any
special credit for her abilities. She was simply incapable of using her mind
in any way that conflicted with reality. Now she was on Earth, millions of
miles from her own home, willing to give us the benefit of her atypical self.
I wanted to invite every single leader in every field of human endeavor to
sit and talk with her. The benefits to mankind would be incalculable. In just
over a week, she had transformed my thinking. I was a better, happier
human being for having known her, and an infinitely more wise and
sensible person for having actually spent time in direct conversation with
her. I glowed with the intoxication that comes from anticipating a peak
experience. In this case, it was the prospect of exposing influential people
to Eykis’ remarkable mind. But I also knew fully the reality that she was
presenting. W e had one day in which to complete the gifts she was of fering.
She absolutely refused to put up with any hassles or cumbersome
bureaucratic snags. She was definitely not


 this and in similar
ways, the spontaneous reactions carl be made to under
go different experimental modulations. Depending on
the initial energy potential, as determined by the de
gree of randomness of distribution, the system will
produce different patterns of equilibria in its drive to
increase entropy. How the interacting forces deter
mine initial motion and fmal equilibrium in these
reactions is a problem closely related to statistical me
chanics.
An example of transient, modulated interactions
within such a system is shown in Fig. X: 6. Saline
solution was poured into a glass jar to a depth of 2 em.
Underneath the jar a layer of air and a thick glass plate
served as a heat protective system between the jar and
a cold light source, which was used ortly during short
periods of transillumination for photography. Carbon
particles covered with dextran (Charcoal radioim
munoassay particles, Schwarz/Mann, Orangeburg,
New York) were distributed irregularl y on the surface.
The particles of different charcoal preparations be
haved differently on the surface of the salt solution.
Some sank to the bottom, others floated as rather firm
conglomeration s. One preparation of particles, howev
er, floated as an evenly dispersed layer, unwened on
the fluid surface. Such a layer of charcoal particles was
spread on the liquid, covering about half of the total
surface. Energy was then supplied to the system by a
brief and rapid stirring. A shellacked aluminium ball,
about I em in diameter, was dropped in the middle of
the jar. The ball floated easily on the surface of the salt
solution. A glass cover was placed on top of the jar to
prevent disturbances by external air motion.
Immediately on contact of the ball with the fluid,
nearby particles moved away from the ball, creating a
"halo" free of panicles around the ball. The ball then
started to accelerate toward one of the largest concen
trations of particles. During this movement a persist
ing zone free of particles was present in front of the
ball, which by its movement divided and stirred the
grouped carbon particles. As the ball decelerated, the Fig. X: 6. Reactants mutually dchying spontaneous equilib
rium. Dextran-coated carbon particles floating on the sur
face of saline solution were stirred briefly, producing an un
even distribution. A shellac-painted, light aluminium ball
was dropped in the jar. Motion blur (5-second exposures) in
dicates movements of the baD's motion. The drive toward
equilibrium of the system is disturbed by continuous interac
tions of the reactants. Areas of hi8h eonccntration of parti
cles easily attract the ball, which then moves them apart by
its moment of inertia. The stirring effect of the ball then cre
ates new attraction centres of concentrated particles, and so
particles formed new concentration centres, one of
which was strong enough to attract the ball. The ball
again accelerated, split this concentration centre and
stirred the particles. In this way, eventual equilibrium
of the system is considerably delayed.
Initially, the ball mostly crossed the centre of the
jar, tending to split the carbon layer in two parts (Fig. on. Reaching equilibrium in the system is thereby consider
ably delayed. Figs. a and b show the ball initially ncar the
centre of the jar. Fig. c shows the ball bumping against the
wall ofthe jar. Figs. d-h show the ball progessively moving
in circles at a speed of about one turn per minute. The baU
was still mO\ring 17 hours after the start of the experiment, at
a rate of one circular turn close to the wall of the jar in 3 min·
utes (Fig. i). Experiments of this kind must be carefully pro
te(;ted from interferen ces by external forces (temperature, air
motion, etc.).
X: 6a, b). The ball accelerated regularly toward the
largest group of grains. Sometimes the baU bounced
off the wall of the jar (Fig. X: 6c). Gradually over the
next hour a more circular pattern of movements devel
oped (Fig. X: 6 d-f). Splitting of the particulate groups
decreased but considerable stirring of the carbon parti
cles remained.
Molecular and electrostatic forces 99 For the next two hours the ball circulated with a
sp«d of about one circular turn per minute. Mter 17
hours it still was circulating at a speed of about one
turn in three minutes. The ball then followed rather
closely the periphery of the jar, without touching it.
The carbon particles formed a more nearly uniform
mass than earlier (Fig. X: 61).
The gradual extinction of the reaction in this experi·
ment was thus remarkably slow compared with, for
in$tance, the experiment illustrated in Fig. X: 5.
1\D essential point in e;periments of this type is that
very small changes may considerabl y influence the
reaction. In this experiment many factors are involved:
concentration of the salt water (which influences the
water potential), physical characteristics of the ball
(size, weight and shape), size and shape of the glass jar
in relation to the quantity of reactants, dielectric prop
ertties of the materials, the initial distribution of the
grains and positioning of the ball, etc.
The seemingly simple experiment illustrated in Fig.
X: 6 is in fact very complicated. If we knew the forces,
resistances and initial particle distribution we should,
at least theoretically, be able to determine particle
motion and "fmal" particle distribution (which has to
be defined). This is all in reality an extremely compli
cated task, even if the basic principles are known.
Some general remarks may, however, be offered.
Consider a large number of interacting corpuscles
(e.g., semolina grains) and assume that the force be
tween any two of the corpuscles depends only on their
distance of separation. As the corpuscles a.pproach
each other, long-range attraction forces will cause
them to accelerate, overcoming friction and moments
of inertia. As the corpuscles become very close, e.g.,
within a few A, short-range forces will increase rapidly
until the corpuscles repel each other and bounce at the
collision.
When many corpuscles (n) interact, the potential
energy is the sum of all the energy pairs, which can be
re:presented by a well-known exponential function :
where e-BilT is the Boltzmann factor, k the Boltzmann
constant= 8.617x 10-' electron volts/corpuscle, T =
absolute temperature and E the energy of each corpus·
cle (5).
As corpuscles collide, energy is randomly gained or
lo:st by individual molecules. A randomly dispersed
large number of corpuscles therefore presents a poten
tial of very complicated patterns of energy exchange,
movements and "final" equilibrium.
The situation is further complicated by the presence
of one or several bodies which differ from the bulk of
reacting elements in size, mass, degree of friction or
fixation to the surroundings, electrical properties,
temperature, etc. The sum of all the deviating factors
100 Molecular and electrostatic forces of such a body makes it more or less "foreign" to its
surroundings. These factors and the degree of initial
randomness of corpuscular distribution will influence
the "fmal" spatial state and the time it takes to reach
such an equilibrium.
H. Structural effects of
molecular concentration
forces
To what extent do molecular forces and superimposed
electric field forces each contribute to the development
of experimental corona structures? What biologic con·
ditions may be so represented?
In the experiment shown in Fig. X: I a, when both
the ball and the periphery of the jar were short circuit
ed, an "A" zone free of semo.lina grains and a "B"
zone with accumulated grains were produced. After
the application of 1.5 kV between the ball and the
periphery, a new equilibrium was created after some
time (Fig.X: I b-f), showing permanent, radiating
structures and small arches and arcades at the interface
betwee.n the "An and "B" zones.
At first glance, the creation of a superimposed field
may seem to be necessary to create radiating structures
and arcades. There is, of course, no doubt that the
superimposed strong electric field is highly capable of
producing these structures in a short time. However,
energy levels of 1.5 kV are biologic rarities. In certain
species (Electrophorus, Torpedo, Malopteru s, Raja
and others), instantaneous levels as high as 600 V are
known to be generated (24). Usually, however, poten
tial differences are of the order of 0.I V in biology
(24). An often neglected component is time, which
permits various small gradients to produce consider
able effects. We will later return to this exceedingly
important issue.
As yet, however, we have not sufficiently

now comes into the picture. Their scattered presence
in capillary walls indicates that they may be involved
in the mechanism of field induced regional capillary
contractions.
Values for the depth of penetration of high-frequen
cy electromagnetic waves (73) arc presented in Table
XVIII: 5. In this Table the depth of penetration refers
to the depth in the material at which the amplitude of
the wave bas fallen to the 1/e part of tbe initial ampli
tude (e=2.72, the base of the natural logarithm).
The penetration of electromagnetic waves increases
with decreasing frequency. The penetration of ULF,
ELF and VLF waves in biologic material is therefore
of considerable interest (53). Shielding of an electric
field is usually obtained by means of a device such as a
Faraday cage. An irregular or slowly varying magnetic
field is far more penetrating and requires shielding
especially made for magnetic fields. Some relative val
ues of shielding efficiency of various objects to electric
and magnetic fields at 10kHz frequency (52) appear in

Concluding remarks
The author has attempted several times to prepare the
information of this book as a series of separate articles.
Tbese attempts bave, to a large extent, been discourag
ing. One reason is that working nowadays across estab
lished specialities is extremely difficult, not to say
dangerous. Each section is in itself probably of limited
interest. Only when the different pieces of information
are put together do the contours of an important bio
logic mechanism become evident. Thus, the main pur
pose of this book is to introduce the concept of biologi
cally closed electric circuits (BCEC) and some exam
ples of their functional and morphogenetic role in
normal and pathological conditions. BCEC systems
should be regarded as an additional circulatory syst~m
for selective transports and modulation of biochemical
reactions within the circuits. Of necessity, this book is
presented as a survey of the seemingly simple principle
of BCEC systems. The principle, nevertheless, is capa
ble of offering new possibilities toward explaining bio
logic problems. Even some conditions which from a
traditional medical standpoint have been regarded as
more or less obscure may be explained. The existence
of preferential pathways for closed circuit transports in
tissue leads to further logical conseque nces which have
been only slightly suggested in this book.
It is the hope of the author that the material present
ed will encourage scientis~s of different specialities to
continue this work. The various aspects of BCEC
systems will require interdisciplinary cooperation if
improved and truly deep understanding of its manifold
possibilities is to be attained. References

  your  body.  That  is the Power  of the Universe!
IT WOULD  ASSERT  ITS  FULL  POWER,  IF YOU
DID  NOT  INTERFERE  WITH  IT BY  DISCORD  IN
YOUR  FEELING.  Life  would  take  charge  quickly  and
naturally!  You  would  not have  to urge  It! Since  you  have
created  about  yourself,  these  limitations  of discord  and  all
in your  feeling  world;  the discord  must  be cleared  away.
It must  in order  to allow  Life  once  again  to take  Its natural
flow;  and  hold  Its dominion  thru  your  bodies  to produce
Perfection.  IN  YOUR  WORLD  OF  ACTION,  LIFE
WILL  DO  IT!
LIFE  NEVER  CRITICIZES  NOR  CONDEMNS
YOU  FOR  YOUR  MISTAKES!  IT  JUST  WAITS!
WE CALL  YOUR  ATTENTION  TO  CERTAIN
THINGS;  BUT  WE  NEVER  CRITICIZE  OR  CON-
DEMN  ANY  ONE.  THERE  IS NO  ONE  IN  THE
UNIVERSE  TO  JUDGE  YOU,  BUT  WHOM?  YOUR
HIGHER  MENTAL  BODY.  IT KNOWS  THE  PER-
FECTION  OF  THE  PRESENCE  AND  YOUR  IM-DISCOURSE  XXII  329
PERFECTION.  THEREFORE,  IT  IS THE  JUDGE
OF YOU  AND  YOUR  LIFE!  YET,  IT NEVER  DOES
FOR  A SINGLE  INSTANT,  CRITICIZE  OR  CON-
DEMN  YOU.
This  is why,  Beloved  Ones,  in all the Activity  of Life  in
Its Perfection,  there  is not  one  destructive  thing.  Then,
what  has produced  destruction  in your  world ? Mankind's
qualification  of the Wondrous  Energy  of Life.  Energy  flows
constantly!  Do you  have  to call for action  of energy  in the
use of Life  ordinarily  speaking ? You  do not consider  it, do
you?  You  go to sleep  at night.  If you  are feeling  comfort-
able,  you  do not question  whether  you  are going  to wake
up in the morning  or not,  do you ? Now  suppose  you  get
scared  on going  to sleep,  that  you  would  not wake  up. If
you were  scared  enough,  you  probably  would  not wake  up.
You do not  feel  afraid  to go to sleep!  You  trust  Life  in
some  ways  magnificently,  don't  you;  but  in other  ways,
you don't  trust  It at all.
Notice!  Is it not strange  how  Individuals  are constantly
in conflict  with  themselves?  They  trust  Life  so magnifi-
cently  to take  care  of the body,  until  they  have  done  some-
thing  which  produces  inharmony  there.  Then  they  say:
"What  in the world  is the matter  here" ? Not  stopping  for
one moment  to see, they  were  the only  cause  for it. It could
not be in their  worlds  and  could  not act in the body  nor in
their  worlds,  unless  they  were  its creator.
Is it not  very  wonderful,  Beloved  Ones?  Thank  you,
tonight,  for your  comprehension.  Thank  you.  Oh,  be clear 3o4  THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES
and definite  in your  comprehension  of these  Simple  Great
Majestic  Laws.  I am preparing  you  tonight,  for the Great
Blessings  which  shall  be yours,  and  I want  you  to feel
Them.  I want  you  to see, how  you  alone  are responsible  in
your  world.  When  you  see this,  then  I can help  you,  as you
could  not even  imagine;  to clear  your  world  of all limiting
discordant  conditions;  so, when  you  call  Life  into  action,
you will  have  Instantaneous  Mighty  Results.  That  is what
every  one should  have.  There  is not one  of you  who  should
not be able  to make  the Call  now  and  inside  of three  hours
have  the answer.  Many  of you are coming  to this point  now.
Until  it arrives,  be firm  and  determined  in your  applica-
tion;  for that  is the way  you  dissolve,  consume  and  break
down  all of these  conditions,  which  have  disturbed  and
limited  you.  You  cannot  do it without  your  application.
Don't  think  for one  moment,  Life  is going  to do these
things  for you,  without  your  application!  THE  GREAT-
EST  NEED  IN THE  WORLD  TODAY,  IS THE  AP-
PLICATION  OF  LIFE.
Individuals  have  had  it before  them  in every  conceivable
activity,  in the  attempt  to explain  Life!  Think  of it, in
the old methods,  everything  was  made  so mysterious!  More
and more  subtle  and  cunning  has  become  the remainder
of human  destructive  creation,  which  We  call  the sinister
force!  Orders  are  being  established—several  of them  in
America  and  the world,  where  they  say to you,  when  you
enter  the doors:  "You  must  take  an oath  never  to mention
one thing  which  goes  on in here."  When  somebody  says DISCOURSE  XXII  331
that,  you  had  better  turn  and  go the other  direction.  They
are concentrating  on America  just  now.  Remember!  be-
cause  you will  be approached.  Many  of the "I AM"  Students
have  already  been.  A thing  which  asks  this  of you  is no
good!  Don't  believe  it for a second.
I am prompting  you,  because  I see it. Some  of the students
who  took  that  oath  and  attended  once,  not a thing  in the
world  could  ever  get them  to return  to another  meeting.
Dear  Ones,  if you  care  to follow  Us, We will  from  time  to
time,  prompt  you  to keep  yourselves  Free  from  the clutches
of such  things.
We have  urged  the people  to keep  away  from  all things
psychic,  spiritualistic,  astrology,  numerology  and  all those
things  which  breed  and  breathe  limitations  into  your
world!  If you  do not care  to listen  to Us and  then  you  ex-
perience  unhappiness,  remember  We tried  to help  you!  We
don't  say what  you  shall  do! If you  insist  on going  on with
the things  which  limit  and  distress  you,  well  Who  are We
to say you  should  not!  You  are Beings  of Free  Will.  We
want  to help  you,  but We cannot  do it, if you  do not want
Us to. We certainly  would  not intrude  into  your  world  in
the physical,  any  more  than  We  would  intrude  into  your
physical  home  without  your  invitation;  or your  friends  in
the physical  world  would.  Oh,  now  and  then  one  would,
but most  of them  would  not intrude,  without  your  invita-
tion.
If you  do not want  something  undesirable  in your  home,
do not invite  it! There  are many  ways  of invitation.  You 332 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
can by the feeling,  invite  a thing!  You  can by the intellect,

 use ends.61 There is not
thought to be increased risk for coronary disease.60
Overall, the link between meno pause and lung health is still not well
understood. Despite the fact there has been a certain amount of research
focus on HRT, the underlying condition of menopause itself has barely been
studied. What literature there is on HRT and respiratory health returns
confusing results.
Research into asthma and other respiratory symptoms tends to indicate
an incre ased risk for women who take HRT, especially nonsmokers and
women with a lower BMI. However, studies of lung functio n suggest a
beneficial or at least a neutral connection with HRT.41 As we discovered
earlier, studies often contradict each other for various reasons. There may
be differences in BMI between study populations, clinical practice around
HRT use isn’t always the same,  the type and duration of HRT differs, and
there are variations in study design and even in the assessment of
menopause. There are also complex problems around distinguishing the
effects of HRT from symptoms of menopause itself. Fundamentally, as
studies have explained, more knowledge of biological mechanisms is
needed before it is possible to return truly accurate results.
In 2017, Science Daily  reported the results of new research, presented at
the European Respiratory Society International Congress, which
demonstrated that oral HRT can slow the decline in lung function in
middle-aged women.62 The study followed 3,713 women for two decades
between the early 1990s and 2010 and found that those who took HRT for
two years or longer did better on lung function tests than women who had
never taken HRT. Lung function is at its best during the midtwe nties. From
then on, it decre ases incrementally. One thing that accelerates lung decline
is menopause— which raises the question, could HRT at least partly
counteract it?
The wom en’s lung health was tested at the start of the survey and again
20 years  later. The measurement used was forced vital capacity  (FVC),which assesses the volume of air that can be exhaled from the lungs after
taking the deepest possible breath. Women who used HRT lost, on average,
46 milliliters less lung volume over the 20-year period than those who had
never taken it. To put this finding into context, 46 milliliters is
approximately the amount of lung volume that would be lost by a woman
who smoked a pack of cigarettes every day for three years. While
researchers do not believe this is likely to be clinically significant for
healthy women, for women who have airway disorders, the decline in lung
function could lead to increased breathlessness and fatigue, decreased
ability to work, and poorer quality of life.62
While the study does not advocate either for or against HRT, the
findings do demonstrate the importance of female sex hormones for the
maintenance of healthy lungs in middle-aged women. This research
provides another piece in the puzzle in understanding the relationship
between menopa use and lung health. The fact remains that women and their
doctors need to be better infor med about the health changes that happen
after menopause. Women with existing respiratory conditions such as
asthma should be closely observed during the menopausal transition, and
advice about medication should  be more personalized and take changing
hormonal levels into account.
OSTEOPOROSIS AND BREA THING P ATTERN DISORDERS
Osteoporosis is a condition prevalent in postmenopausal women that might,
at first, appear to have no connection with breathing.63 It is a disease of low
bone mineral density or excessive bone loss and is a common cause of bone
fractures in older women. Osteoporosis affects 200 million women
worldwide, with nearly one in two women over the age of 50 likely to
suffer an osteoporosis-related fracture. In women over 45, the condition
accounts for more days of hospitalization than diabetes, heart attack, or
breast cancer.64
It can cause repeated fractures of the vertebrae attached to the ribs,
which may lead to an excessive curve in the spine called thorac ic kyphosis.
Each time one of these thoracic vertebrae is broken, lung capacity shrinks,
with a reductio n in forced vital capacity of 9%. While research hasexamined the link between osteoporosis and respiration in terms of this
impact on mechanical function, very little work has been done to measure
lung health in women with osteoporosis but no diagnosis of chronic
respiratory disease.
The fact that women with osteoporosis commonly complain about
breathlessness prompted a 2018 study.63 Researchers theorized that the
fragility of the rib cage typical  of bone loss and osteoporosis  negatively
impacts respirat ory function by inhibiting the body’ s responses to normal
breathing stimuli, and thus affecting the blood acid-base balance. In simple
terms, the fragility of the ribs causes instinctive changes to breathing
patterns, designed to protect weakened bones.
To test this theory, scientists assessed lung function, arterial blood gas
levels, central respiratory drive, and breathing patterns of wome n with bone
fragility who had no respiratory illness, kidney disease, or anem ia, and who
were not taking any medication known to alter blood pH. The women’ s
results were compared with a control group of women who did not have
bone fragility.
The results showed for the first time that women with osteoporosis or
bone loss who had never smoked displayed disturbances in blood gas
exchange and changes in breathing patterns compared to age-matched
healthy women.  The differences were not the result of anatomi cal changes
or other conditions such as cardiorespiratory disease. This is the first study
to look at gas exchange and breathing patterns where participants were
selected to minimize confounding factors, such as respiratory disease,
smoking, medications, and anatomical considerations.
Lung volumes at rest and during  exercise were similar in all the women,
but the differences in breathing  patterns and gas exchange values between
women with or without bone fragility were significant, even though all the
values fell withi n normal reference ranges. Differences included  changes in
the ventilatory response to CO2, lower levels of arterial CO2 and oxygen, a
higher arterial to alveolar oxygen gradient suggesting defective diffusion of
oxygen from the blood to the lungs, and higher pH levels in the blood.
Interestingly, bone loss has been linked to depressive symptoms.
Postmenopausal women are at increased risk of depression at the same time
of life they are vulnerable to bone loss. While several studies have found arelationship between bone loss and depression, none have identified the
reason for the connection64. Osteoporosis and bone loss are often
undiagnosed until a woman suffers a fracture. However, a 2018 review
found that depressive symptom s are indicative of bone loss, may help
identify women with these conditions, and should trigger further
investigation of bone health.64
According to a 2019 paper, the biochemical and physiological effects of
psychological stress are recognized as contributing factors in
osteoporosis.65 Researchers looked at evidence pointing to stress-associated
mental health disorders as risk factors for osteoporosis. They suggested that
therapies to address psychological health could have benefits for bone-loss
patients. Resear ch into this topic is limited, but the studies that do exist
indicate that a personalized, multifaceted approach may improve patient
outcomes, particularly in those who are at a higher risk of developing
osteoporosis.
A further link exists between osteoporosis and anxiety.66 A 2018  study
of 192 women found that those with high levels of anxiety were more prone
to osteoporosis-related fracture. Anxiety levels were connected to age,
depressive symptoms, years since menopause, and age at menopause.
Scientists concluded that anxiety levels in postmenopausal women were
associated with,  and predictive of, reduced bone mineral density in the
lumbar spine and hips.
While it is interesting to explore the connections between osteoporosis
and breathing, there is currently no research to indicate a direct link
between menopausal depression and anxiety, physical symptoms of bone
mineral loss, and breathing pattern disorders. However, it is the case that
addressing poor breathing can significantly improve quality of life by
reducing susceptibility to a huge range of mental and physical conditions.
SLOW, DEEP BREA THING AND MENOP AUSE SYMPT OMS
It has been proven that slow, deep breathing can reduce certain hormonal
symptoms of menopause. A 2012 study explored the potential of
parasympathetic activation via slow, deep, diaphragmatic breathing toreduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes. Paced breathing can
reduce the stress response, relaxing the body and mind.67
For the study, scientists designed a nine-week, three-arm clinical trial in
which participants used an audio CD to practice guided paced breathing
exercises. One group practiced  at 6 breaths a minute once a day for 15
minutes. A second group practic ed the same exercise twice a day. The third
group practiced  14 breaths a minute for 10 minutes each day (normal
breathing). Near ly 80% of the women who completed the study found the
exercises easy to do and to fit into their daily routine. All of the participants
across the three groups reporte d reductions in hot flashes. Women who

experimentation. Six of them died from poisoning, six had no apparent reaction at the
time and the rest suffered reactions of varying intensity."He was bitterly attacked for recommending such a practice," says Dr. Clements, "and
for a time his life was in danger. This incident encited strong opposition to inoculation,
in this country... A public meeting was called in Boston where the practice was
deprecated as causing the death of many persons.
"It was contended that the operation was likely to prove most dangerous to those
submitting to it. In the meeting the following resolution was agreed upon and published
by the public authorities:
"A resolve upon a debate by the people of Boston concerning inoculation of smallpox,
on the 21st day of July, 1721.
"It appears by numerous instances that it has proven the death of many persons even
after the operation, and brought distemper upon many others which have in the end
proven fatal to them; that the natural tendency of infusing such malignant filth in the
blood is to corrupt and putrefy it, and if there be not a sufficient discharge of that
malignity by the place of inoculation or elsewhere, it lays the foundation for many
dangerous diseases; that the operation tends to spread and continue the infection in a
place longer than otherwise might be (as in the case of smallpox); that the continuance
of the operation among us is likely to prove of the most dangerous consequences.
        "By the Select Men of the Town of Boston, July 22, 1721"
We observe, here, that the Founding Fathers of this country were intelligent men who
were vitally concerned with the health and welfare of the people whom they governed.
Although this was years before our revolution, these same men, no doubt, played a part
in shaping the destiny of this country. This was also before the medical association got
its strangle hold on the health of our people and prostituted the art of healing to the
business of making money without giving "full value received". Those leaders with
ideals and high purposes were not able to hold the  gilted-edge vaccination monster  at
bay very long. The high pressure "tactics" of the serum promoters finally corrupted the
minds of the people and they were induced to submit to full scale vaccination in many
states. America, today, is unfortunately, one of the most lucrative fields for medical
exploitation.
Our Constitution promises the people  freedom but the enslavement of compulsory
vaccination hounds the employees and personnel of our tax supported institutions such
as Civil Service, county and state hospitals and institutions, state colleges, military
service, many public schools and some entire states. There is absolutely no proof of
benefits from vaccination and no sound basis for its compul
sion but it is forced into operation from year to year and the outraged taxpayers are
forced to pay for it.
The useless and hazardous but inflexible law that requires vaccination in order
to travel abroad brands U. S. as backward and unscientific. Other countries have learned
the fallacy of vaccination and discarded it as worthless and deadly."Medical schools claim that the theory of inoculation is based on  scientific facts but
history proves that this claim is false. What are these so-called,  scientific facts? Where
are they (if any)? Medical history discusses many  theories and hypotheses, but it
describes no scientific facts. It is a gross misrepresentation to hold that the superstitious
practice of barbarians ‘is based on discoveries made in the fundamental sciences,’ or on
scientific facts." — Clements.
The testament from medical history itself proves that smallpox increased tremendously
after the enforcement of vaccination and at the present time there are far more deaths
and diseases from vaccination itself than from the diseases the vaccinations are supposed
to prevent. Figures and case histories to support this statement are given elsewhere in
this book and in many other books on vaccination.
V ACCINATION BASED ON DAIRYMAID’S STORY — NOT SCIENTIFIC.
Lady Mary Wortly Montague was said to have been the one who introduced inoculation
into England in 1717 after she returned from the Orient (in Turkey, where her husband
was an ambassador). Inoculation was in its popular experimental stage there at that time.
The custom had probably been taken by the Arabs into Africa, notably, those countries
near the Red Sea. From there it may have been taken into Europe by way of the
Bosphorus. When Lady Montague spoke of this practice of arm-to-arm inoculation to
Jenner he said:
"Ay, but the Glouchestershire dairymaids have a better trick than that. They say that if a
person takes the cowpox from the cow, he will never after have smallpox. Now cowpox
is smallpox of the cow. Cowpox is not infectious;  a person once having cowpox will
never have smallpox afterwards, and there are no dangerous results  to be anticipated, as
there are with (arm-to-arm) inoculations."
All these claims have been refuted by scientific findings, but as Jenner was not a
scientist he was satisfied to accept the opinions and superstitions of unlearned
dairymaids. Science has later presented sound proof that cowpox is not the same as
smallpox and does not protect from smallpox or even from cowpox.
V ACCINATION DOES NOT IMMUNIZE, SAY AUTHORITIES
Space will not permit the quoting of all the qualified authorities who brought forth
evidence that cowpox has no relation to smallpox and cannot immunize against it. A few
will show the trend in this direction.
Joseph Swan, in his comprehensive work, "THE V ACCINATION PROBLEM" (pp. 87
— 102) gives the results of government surveys and reports of doctors and scientists
who investigated this matter. He reports Sir Thomas Watson (the distinguished surgeon
and a believer in vaccination) who said:
"A little consideration will suffice to show that the vaccine disease is  suigeneris. In no
sense does it own its origin to smallpox. There is no such relation between the two... The true attitude of cowpox towards smallpox is an attitude of antagonism." ( British
Medical Journal, Jan. 17, 1880)
The renowned bacteriologist, E. M. Crookshank stated:
"COWPOX HAS NEVER BEEN CONVERTED INTO HUMAN SMALLPOX, AND
IN THEIR CLINICAL HISTORY AND EPIDEMIOLOGY, NATURAL COWPOX
AND HUMAN SMALLPOX ARE SO DIFFERENT, THAT THE COMPARATIVE
PATHOLOGISI’IS NO MORE PREPARED TO ADMIT THEIR IDENTITY THAN HE
IS PREPARED TO ADMIT THE IDENTITY OF COWPOX AND SHEEP-POX OR
SMALLPOX AND THE PLAGUE." (p. 328, Bacteriology and Infectious Diseases,
Fourth Edition, by Crookshank)
Dr. (later Sir) William Osler, one of the most highly respected medical authorities,
although an advocate of vaccination was forced, by factual evidence to admit the
dangers attending this practice. He did not endorse Jenner’s exaggerated promises
of lifetime immunity without danger. In his "Principles and Practice of Medicine", p.
330, 8th Edition, he wrote:
"With the greatest care (in vaccinating) certain risks are present... A quiescent malady
may be lighted into activity by vaccination. This has happened with congenital  syphilis,
also with tuberculosis." (emphasis supplied)
WHAT HAPPENED TO JENNER’S LIFETIME IMMUNITY?
When Jenner promised the world that his cowpox vaccinations would give lifetime
immunity "with no dangerous results" as with the usual inoculations, he admitted that
inoculation had always been accompanied with danger that all recognized. It was not
long, however, before Jenner’s cowpox vaccinations were followed by death and disease
and that practice was also branded as dangerous and deadly.
Regarding the increased death-rate due to vaccination, Herbert Spencer states in
his Facts and Comments:
"Jenner and his disciples have assumed that when the vaccine has passed through the
patient’s system he is safe against smallpox, and there the matter ends... I propose to
show that there the matter does not end. The interference with the order of Nature has
various sequences other than those counted upon. Some have been made known.
"A Parliamentary Return issued in 1880 (No. 392) shows... that there was a decrease of
6,600 (per million births) in the deaths of infants from all causes; while the deaths
caused by eight specified diseases, either directly communicable or exacerbated by the
effects of vaccination, increased from 20,524 to 41,353 per million births per annum —
more than double. It is clear that far more were killed by these other diseases than were
saved from smallpox."
Vaccination was made compulsory in England in 1853. Judging by the data from the
above quoted Parliamentary Return, it would appear that after 27 years of enforced vaccination, the death rate increased only among the vaccinated diseases. The decline in
deaths from other causes was, no doubt, brought about by the improvement in sanitation
and nutrition that came into prominence about that time. It was around 1840
that Sylvester Graham, Dr. Trall  and other pioneers of the new health movement
emphasized the importance of correct nutrition and through
