the problem. Dental orthopedics is an art form. You want to search for a functional orthopedist who
knows how to use his tools. Having a good saw or a fast drill does not make a good handyman (or a
good dentist). Likewise, using a highly reputed technology for bite correction does not necessarily
mean the practitioner understands the bite. It is hard to explain this until you actually see it in action.
The best of the best functional orthopedists are superlative because they know how to use their tools
to produce a result, not because their tools are necessarily advanced or special. Unfortunately,
without substantial background education in chiropractic care, physical therapy, craniopathy and
osteopathy, dentists are very poorly equipped to correct bite dysfunctions because they never learned
how the body functions as a complete organism. They have not been taught how to check for and
repair functionality by physically manipulating the patient’s body. For example, a chiropractor might
muscle test the patient and check for indicators for certain misaligned bones. The chiropractor then
adjusts the body accordingly and the bones are realigned. Without having direct hands-on access to
the body and without a chiropractor’s or osteopath’s training in bodywork, the conventional dentist is,
in a way, working in the dark. Nothing like this is currently taught in dental school. Conversely,
chiropractors and osteopaths are limited in their ability to correct the cranial system and bite of the
individual because they have little or no training in orthopedic appliances to overcome physiological
obstacles.
The best treatment modalities available therefore are the ones in which the dentist workssimultaneously or in close proximity with a cranial expert such as an osteopath. This means literally
that an osteopath will be in the office, working with the dentist, helping the dentist fine tune the dental
appliance to the patient. This ensures that the dental appliance fits in a way that is beneficial for the
patient’s body. Without the supplemental bodywork treatments, patients can develop chronic tension
and pain as their bodies struggle to adapt to the appliance.
Functional Dental Appliance Goals
My opinion is that the healthiest and most ideal correction of bite imbalances involves correcting
both the height and the width of the bite. The improvement in height and width is in harmony with our
therapeutic model of the skulls that show fuller dental arch development. The correct bite height
allows the jaw to come forward into the position where the front teeth are completely aligned and
with the molars comfortably touching, as demonstrated in figure
a.
The correct bite width widens the
maxilla and mandible to allow all of the teeth to fit, including the wisdom teeth. Some critics
complain that bite height correction is wrong because it makes the face too long. However if you
combine height with width, then the face will look balanced and the head and body will function in a
healthier way.
Most of the dental orthopedic work done with children focuses on widening the bite, which is very
important but such an approach usually ignores the vertical height aspect. If a child had pretty good
vertical height to begin with, as in a minor overbite, then they will have a highly successful outcome
from jaw expansion. Children with more severe overbites in which the molar height is more of an
issue, will have a less ideal outcome from only expanding the jaw.
Finding a Functional Orthopedist
You need to be careful as there are some pretty bad functional orthopedists out there, and some
appliances that do not work with the natural structure of the body. Even though their treatment
paradigm is more correct than conventional orthodontists, you can still suffer from bad treatment
outcomes. Too much widening of the jaw, widening the jaw at the wrong rate, or widening at the
wrong spot, can all destabilize the cranial system. It is important that the practitioner understands
their tools and their art form, and that they are not just using some appliance after a 40-hour training
course. Another key to finding a good functional orthopedist is by looking at their treatment outcomes.
Do the faces of their patients exhibit aesthetic harmony? Do they look relaxed and natural?
Unfortunately there are very few good functional orthopedists, and many times people must travel
great distances to see the few good ones available. If your search is long, frustrating, or you do not
feel comfortable with the practitioner, you are not alone; it can be a difficult process.

The End of Braces
Braces are good for rotating teeth which may be twisted and facing the wrong direction, but they are
not good tools to widen the jaw. Crooked teeth exist in a mouth that needs more space. When the
space is provided through expansion with a functional appliance they will usually straighten on their
own. This is working with the body, rather than coercing the teeth to move where the conventional
orthodontist thinks the teeth should be. There are some orthodontists who combine dental arch
expansion with braces. Some of the case outcomes from some of these practitioners look acceptable.
As I said, it is the skill and understanding of the practitioner more than the appliances used that makes
the crucial difference. But there are many more elegant solutions than using braces for nearly every
type of orthodontic work.
The Wisdom of Keeping Your Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are important. They were not put there by accident. As food slides back towards the
swallowing position, the back molars chew and crush food. Since wisdom teeth are our third molars,
not having wisdom teeth is like losing 25-33% of the chewing surface which you were designed to
have. The locations where wisdom teeth were extracted (cavitations) very often become sites for
hidden infections.
With dental arch widening, most wisdom teeth can be saved by making space for them with a
functional dental appliance. The concept of minimally invasive dentistry is to perform the least
amount of surgery, and therefore cause the least amount of trauma, to the jaw and the mouth. Pulling
teeth of any kind is not a wise choice, unless there is a severe health-threatening tooth infection, or
unrepairable disturbance caused by the wisdom teeth. Just leaving wisdom teeth in there, if there is
not enough space for them, may put unnecessary pressure on your trigeminal nerve. When you choose
to keep your wisdom teeth, if there is some crowding which is highly common, it would be a good
idea to monitor how their roots are growing or expand the jaw to make sure they fit.
There are cases in which removing wisdom teeth seems to be medically required, but usually
expanding the jaw is a more prudent approach. It definitely requires more effort and commitment to
go through jaw expansion, than just pulling the wisdom teeth out with surgery. Keeping your wisdom
teeth will help maintain your ability to chew food, the structure of your face, and your vitality.Regaining Your Dental Health
My understanding of bite and how to treat one that is misaligned is a work in progress. Likewise the
field of functional orthopedics is an evolving discipline that still has many blind spots and room for
growth. The potential for correcting imperfect bites is vast, and the improvements in health and
vitality when done properly are well worth it. Our bite is connected to nearly every disease process
in the body because of how our nervous system is affected by a poor bite. Like conventional dentistry,
conventional orthodontics has failed us miserably. Many times, conventional orthodontics has turned
bad dental conditions into worse ones by working against the physiology and natural growth of the
body.
Your bite changes how you look. It separates super athletes from mundane individuals because of its
effects on the nervous system. Your bite, when it functions properly, can help your teeth remineralize,
and it can destroy teeth when it is misaligned. The status of one’s bite can be the difference between a
vigorous life filled with health and immunity to almost any disease, and a life plagued with
discomfort and illness.

 one with the light bulb symbol it is on either side of the middle terminal.
Next, take the white cable from the AC power cord, and tie it (end cap tighteners for cables) with both of
the white cables of each light bulb  socket. Leave the black cables co ming from each socket hanging for
now.
Next solder the black cable from the AC power cord onto the opposite terminal (opposite of ground) on
the lighted switch.
Step 3. Create Your Coil
This step is fairly simple, we will create your magn etic coil (the treatment part of this apparatus).
Simply take the Sidewinder coil you ordered, you wi ll see two open ended wires. From the hook-up wires
you have, clip two separate 3' to 4' (your choice how long you'd like it to be) cables. Then take each
ending and solder them to the resp ective endings of the sidewinder coil,  after you have done so, wrap the
entire cable from the coil to about the last 6 inches with  electric tape, this part needs to be well insulated
and secured while it is being used. You can get an  idea of how this looks on the illustration above.
Step 4. Coil to Push Button Switch
There are two terminals attached to the underside of  the push button switch, pull both ends of the coils
cable that you just made into the bo x, but attach only one to the terminal closest to that side, make sure
that when you solder it on that you wrap it with el ectrical tape, the two wires from each terminal cannot
touch unless you want them to  via the push button switch.
Step 5. Creating the First Perfboard Setup
For this step we will be connecting together on a single perfboard the two 80uf capacitors (not
photoflash), and the two diodes (1N5402).Note: Make sure you cut a size that will fit snugly into the pre-made grooves in the box so that it will stay
in place while in use, if you must you can use tape or  glue when you are completely finished and have a
functioning machine.
Below is an image representing roughly what the firs t perfboard should look lik e, it's connections and
where you need to look to hook them up with wire, soldering, and or twist caps further down the line.
Step 6. Creating the Capacitor Array
The next perfboard is going to be holding together our array of photoflash capacitors, if you managed to
get your hands on the disposable cameras (with glov es) take them apart, remove the AA battery, remove
the camera halves from each other, and you will see a black cylindrical component that is bent over, straighten it out, and use a screwdriver to each end of it  after you clip it to drain it of any remaining power
(make sure to clip the minimum off so you have en ough wire to work with  when soldering later).
Do this 5 times and you will have to line up each ne gative pole of the capacito rs on the perfboard in
series, it should look like this.
Step 7. Completing the Setup and Testing
After you have successfully made all your connections, make sure that the lighted switch is in the off
position. Close your box with the lid and tape it temporarily shut. Connect your AC power cord, with
gloves worn, to your GFCI outlet. Turn the switch on  and the lights should momentarily turn on then dim
off. when you press the momentary push button, do not ho ld it down for longer than  a second or so, this is
meant to be a short duration circuit. Anyhow, you shou ld be able to hold a co mpass to the coil and when
you press the push button it will attract one side or the other (North or South) of the compass, the side that
attracts the 'North Pole' pointer of the compass is the North Pole of you coil, you may amrk it to make a
note of it, as the north side is the ideal treatment side. You can check what distance the magnetic field
reaches out to by pulling the compass farther away and continuing to pulse until it no longer effects the
compasses direction, Alternatively you could try usi ng a metal washer (1/2" diameter) to see how far it
flies out when pulsed. That's it!<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Metabolic SolutionsTHE ADRENALINE

Adrenaline Dominance
There is a healthcare crisis in America that is com pletely under the radar. Almost every family is
affected by it in some way or another. It is associ ated with adrenaline, a hormone that most people
are aware of. It is best known as the “ght-or-igh t’ hormone, which is released in large quantities
whenever we are in danger. It is an extremely power ful hormone, and has signicant physiologic
effects on our body. These episodes
are usually short-lived, and as soon as
the danger passes the adrenaline
levels go back down.
Adrenaline Dominance Diet
Page 3However, there is another reason the body
releases adrenaline, and it can occur
throughout the day and night for sustained
periods. The primary function of adrenaline is
to ensure that the brain has a proper amount of
fuel to operate. Anytime a low level of fuel is
detected, the body releases adrenaline which
can have a signicant effect on our health, and
certainly, on the quality of our life.

Page 4Weight Gain
So far I have touched on conditions related to exce ss adrenaline that affects millions of lives.
However, I have left out a condition that can have a signicant impact on a person’s life, and also
affects millions of people. What I am referring to is weight. Surprisingly, excess adrenaline might be
the number one reason why there are so many people ghting with weight gain. As mentioned
previously, other than preparing the body for dange r, the primary role of adrenaline is to provide sug ar
for the brain. The brain utilizes more sugar per we ight than any other area of the body.
When the brain runs out of fuel, people experience a profound sense of sleepiness which is called
hypoglycemia. Classically, this occurs between 3-4 pm when insulin levels are peaking, or after eating,
or when people are in a car either as a driver or a s a passenger. A low level of sugar in the brain
automatically sends an alert to the adrenal glands via the sympathetic nervous system to release
adrenaline.
Adrenaline Dominance Diet
Page 5Adrenaline raises sugar levels via a process called  gluconeogenesis, whereby it converts protein into
glucose. The brain can use up fuel in as little as three hours. Understandably, adrenaline levels peak
around 2:30-3:00 am, contributing to insomnia and a n urge to urinate around that time. Adrenaline
can create stress. This stimulates the release of a nother hormone called cortisol which is an anti-
stress hormone.
As soon as it is released, it raises glucose levels  via a process called glycogenolysis. As a result, the
body is putting out two hormones


 like rose or jasmine should be
avoided, as well as too much sandalwood, because
these can increase Kapha. 223
14. The Healing Power of Mantra
ound has a tremendous power to condition our
consciousness for good or for ill. In fact, most con-
ditioning occurs through the medium of sound,
particularly as words, from which derives the education
that structures our minds. Whether as words or music, no
other sensory potential has such a capacity to affect us.
Sound moves the mind and heart, influencing us on sub-
conscious, conscious and superconscious levels. It can reach
deep inside and touch our core desires and aspirations.
Our conditioning is nothing but the sound patterns to
which we have accustomed our minds. To reprogram the
mind, to remove its negative conditioning and replace it
with one that is beneficial — which is the essence of psy-
chological healing — the therapeutic use of sound is the
central tool. Mantra is not only a sensory tool for healing
the mind by using the power of sound and linking it with
meaning and feeling, but it also affects the very nature of
the mind and is part of the mind itself.
As human beings, we are primarily creatures of speech.
Our words are our main means of communication and
expression. The words we take in link us to the psycho-
logical patterns in others and the collective urges of soci-
ety. Our words also draw up the energies and ideas latent
in our psyche. Through words, our minds come together
and information of all types is transmitted from which our
action in life proceeds. s Ayurveda and the Mind
Sound is the sense quality that belongs to the element
of ether, the seed element from which the other elements
spring. Through sound, all the elements and senses can be
harmonized and controlled. Sound is the basis of our
bondage to the external world and also the means of free-
ing ourselves from it. Sound controls consciousness, which
shapes itself in the form of articulate sounds or words. As
ether is based upon the gross form of sound, consciousness,
which is like space, consists of the subtle form of sound,
which is thought or meaning.
Speech pervades all the elements, sense organs and
functions of the mind. There is nothing that we contact
with the mind or senses that we cannot express through
speech. Speech is the very power of the mind to express
itself; it is the power of knowledge to reveal what it knows.
Speech pervades the universe, which itself is the manifes-
tation of the Divine word.
Different sound formations make up the different func-
tions of the mind. The sound vibration of impressions and
information make up the outer mind (Manas). The sound
vibration of abstract knowledge, principles and ideals sus-
tains intelligence (Buddhi). The sound vibration of our
deepest feelings and intuition makes up the inner mind or
consciousness (Chitta). The ultimate source of sound is the
spiritual heart or center of consciousness, our true Self
(Atman) from which the eternal sound or Divine Word
ever arises. To change our sound patterns changes the
vibratory structure of our consciousness.
Mantra
There are many ways to use sound in healing, from
counseling itself, which is largely verbal, to music. How-
ever, in Ayurvedic healing, the most important sound The Healing Power of Mantra
therapy is mantra. Mantra means that which saves, trayati,
the mind, Manas. Mantra is the main and most direct
Ayurvedic tool for healing the mind, from its deepest lay-
ers to its surface actions.66
Mantras are specially energized sounds or words. They
may be simple single sounds like OM or special phrases or
prayers intoned or sung in various ways. Mantras are
repeated in a regular manner in order to empower them
and turn them into tools of psychological transformation.
All conditioning through words is a kind of mantra.
Any key word or phrase that we repeat, memorize and hold
deep inside ourselves is a kind of mantra. When we repeat
a thought of anger or hatred for another person, it is a dark
or Tamasic mantra. When we repeat our desires for success
and achievement, it is a Rajasic or disturbed mantra. Such
mantras do not heal the mind but perpetuate its patterns
of ignorance and agitation.
For truly healing the mind, Sattvic mantras, which aim
at dissolving the ego and promoting self-awareness, are
required. These are mantras bom of love and the seeking
of wisdom. Real mantra is quite different than the use of
words to subconsciously influence our behavior, like adver-
tising or propaganda, which promote ignorance and
attachment (Rajas and Tamas). Mantra is not a form of self-
hypnosis but a way of deconditioning the mind by break-
ing up unconscious sound and thought patterns through
those that reflect a higher tmth and energy.
Some may ask, isn't all conditioning of the mind
wrong? Shouldn't we seek to decondition the mind entire-
ly? This is a mistake and can never be accomplished. The
mind, as an organic entity, requires the right conditioning,
just as the body does. The body requires a specific regi-
men, with proper timing and manner of eating, exercise, Ayurveda and the Mind
and sleep. The mind also requires a regimen of taking in
impressions, mental exercise and rest. If we fail to give the
proper conditioning to the mind, we will only give it the
wrong conditioning. The unconditioned is the goal, but
this exists in the true Self beyond the mind-body complex.
To achieve it, the mind-body complex must be put in the
proper Sattvic condition first. A deconditioned mind, like
an unconditioned body, will simply be out of control.
Mantra and Consciousness
Mantra means "the instrument of the mind" or "what
protects the mind." Control of the mind and the unfold-
ment of the hidden powers of the mind (siddhis) arise
through the power of the mantra. Mantra is the main
method of treating consciousness (Chitta) and is helpful
for healing all levels of the mind, inner and outer. It can
alter or eradicate deep-seated latencies and impressions.
For this reason, it is the main Ayurvedic therapy for treat-
ing psychological disorders and can be very helpful for
physical problems as well.
Mantra allows us to change the vibratory pattern of
consciousness. It is a direct method for dealing with the
mind. Methods relying on diet, herbs, impressions, or even
counseling, however useful, are indirect or external. It can
be far more helpful to regularly chant a mantra than to
analyze our psychological problems. The mantra changes
the energetic structure of the mind which dissolves the
problem, while thinking about the problem can reinforce
it. Mantra changes the energy of the mental field in a pos-
itive way. It is very different than analysis which, by exam-
ining the patterns of negativity and how they got that way,
may not alter them at all.
There is a background sound-pattern to our conscious- The Healing Power of Mantra 227 A
ness. It may be a song we have just heard or the memory
of a painful or pleasurable event. Some movement of sound
is always going on inside us. Like the rhythm in music, it
determines the rhythm of our consciousness. The con-
scious use of sound can change that rhythm so that the
sound of our consciousness supports rather than detracts
from our awareness.
Our consciousness consists of deep-seated habits and
tendencies. These are the ruts in the field of our con-
sciousness created by repeated mental activity (Samskaras).
Mantra allows us to iron them out. When we repeat a
mantra for a long period of time, this creates an energy
that can neutralize the scars left from our distracted men-
tal activity and create a more powerful memory to override
them.
Our memories are the subtle sound vibrations that we
retain in our consciousness. Memory in the psychological
sense — the internal record of hurts and fears — is undi-
gested sound. Such memory is misunderstood sound that
leaves a scar upon the mind. It is a vibration that cannot
be assimilated into the fabric of the mental field but
remains apart and produces changes that distort percep-
tion or lead to wrong action. Being constricted sound pat-
terns, memories and their pain can be neutralized by the
right mantras, which project a contrary sound energy that
breaks up their stagnation.
Sound and Emotion
Any sensation we take personally, that we like or dis-
like, produces an emotion from fear and desire to love and
hate. Sound, as the most primary sensory potential, gener-
ates the strongest emotions. Each emotion creates a partic-
ular kind of sound. More intense emotions usually demand Ayurveda and the Mind
stronger sounds. We sing with joy, shout in anger, cry in
sorrow, groan in pain, and scream in extreme fear or pain.
Those who die violently scream loudly first, reflecting the
agitation of the life-force as it is prematurely cut off.
Sound is a vehicle for emotion, which it can either rein-
force or release.

Most fresh salads can be dressed with olive oil and fresh lemon juice. When
home-made yoghurt is well tolerated it can also be used as a salad dressing.
Ketchup
2 cups tomato juice
2-3 tablespoons white vinegar
honey to taste
bay leaf (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
Mix all the ingredients except the honey and simmer on the stove until
thick, stirring often to prevent sticking. When almost the desired thickness,
add honey to taste and complete cooking. Ladle into sterilised jars and seal
immediately or place in small containers and freeze.

Guacamole
2 ripe avocados
juice ofi orange
l clove of crushed garlic
small amount of water
In the food processor blend together all the ingredients. Reduce the
amount of garlic, if the guacamole is too hot. Use as a dip for vegetables
and a spread for home-made bread.
Mayonnaise
i whole egg
i cup olive oil or slightly more
i tablespoon white vinegar or fresh lemon juice
lU teaspoon dry mustard powder
salt and pepper to taste
a little honey to taste
Blend in your food processor for a few seconds: egg, lemon juice (or
vinegar), mustard, salt, pepper and honey. While the machine is running, add the oil in a fine stream. Do not add oil quickly; it should take at least 60
seconds. As mayonnaise thickens, the sound of the machine will deepen.
Suggestions:
Use to thicken gravy: add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise to about 1 cup of
meat stock and heat gently for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Use as a base for tartar sauce by adding lk cup chopped dill pickles
(unsweetened) and lU cup of chopped onion.
Use as mock Hollandaise sauce by adding grated cheddar cheese (if well
tolerated). Spread over vegetables such as cooked cauliflower or broccoli.
Cover and heat in oven.
Mix with home-made yoghurt (1 part mayonnaise, 1 part yoghurt) and
use as salad dressing.
(Recipe courtesy of Elaine Gottschall)
Salsa
4 medium-size tomatoes

1 medium onion (white or red)
1-3 cloves of garlic
dill and parsley
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Put all ingredients into the food processor and chop coarsely. Can be served
with meats and vegetables. You can also use it for cookingmeats. To do that
bring salsa to simmer, add diced meat (beef, pork, lamb or chicken) and 3-4
tablespoons of butter (or goose/duckfat), cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
Aubergine dip
2 aubergines (eggplants)
salt
3 medium-size tomatoes
3-4 cloves of garlic
7? cup olive oil
fresh dill or parsley
Cut the aubergines into 1 cm-thick slices, rub well with salt and duck fat. Place
on a baking tray and bake at i5O 0C for 30-40 minutes or until soft. Cool down. In the food processor blend together the baked aubergines, tomatoes,
garlic, herbs and olive oil. Serve with meats and fish and as a dip with
vegetables.
Basic liver pate
wog liver
1 large onion finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
Fry the liver, onion and garlic in ghee (butter, goose or duck fat) until well
cooked through. Blend in a food processor with mayonnaise.
To make variations you can add one of the following when blending:
• l raw tomato
• 4-5 cooked prunes (unsweetened and without stones)
• raw garlic
• greens (dill, parsley, basil)
• raw onion
• peeled, cored and grated apple
2. Salads
Salads should be served when diarrhoea is no longer present.
To increase the nutritional value of your salads it is good to sprinkle
coarsely chopped walnuts or seeds on top. Seeds: sunflower seeds, pump
kin and sesame should be soaked in water over night. It makes them more
nourishing and easier to digest.
Beetroot salad
8 small beetroots
'Is cup of shelled walnuts
2 cloves of garlic
8 dried prunes without stones
mayonnaise
7» teaspoon of salt
Wash the beetroots and cut all tops and ends off. Cook the beetroot by
steaming until a knife goes through easily. Alternatively you can buy*
already cooked beetroots (in water, not in vinegar!). Grate the beetroot through a coarse grater. In the food processor chop together the walnuts,
garlic and prunes. Mix well with the grated beetroot. Add salt, mayonnaise
and mix. Enjoy with meats and vegetables.
Tuna salad
200g canned tuna in its own juice or water
1 large  onion

rots. Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs.
On a flat dish put a layer of tuna (use half the tuna) and top it up with
half of the chopped onion. Cover with mayonnaise. Grate one carrot on top
and cover with mayonnaise. Make a layer of one chopped hard-boiled egg
and cover with mayonnaise. Repeat with the same layers of tuna, onion,
carrot and egg. Decorate on the top with some dill or parsley. Make sure
that every layer is well covered with mayonnaise.

Slightly fry the raisins in butter to make them soft. Finely grate the carrot.
Mix the carrot, raisins, walnuts and yoghurt.
3. Soups
I strongly recommend to making your soups based on a home-made meat \
stock. Meat stock aids digestion and has been known for centuries as a!J
healing folk remedy for the digestive tract. Also home-made meat stock is ;
extremely nourishing, it is full of minerals, vitamins, amino-acids andl various other nutrients in a very bio-available form. Do not use commer
cially available soup stock granules or bouillon cubes, they are highly
processed and are full of detrimental ingredients.
Once you have made your meat stock, it can be frozen or it will keep well
in a refrigerator for at least a week. You can make soups, gravies and stews
with this meat stock or warm up a cup of it to give your GAPS patient as a
drink with meals or between meals. If you make sure that you always have
some meat stock in your fridge, you will find that it is very easy and quick to
make nourishing meals for your GAPS child or adult and the rest of the
family.
You need meat and bones to make a good meat stock. Beef, lamb, pork,
game, poultry and fish are all highly suitable and will make stocks with dif
ferent flavours and different nutritional compositions. So, make sure that
you alternate between different meats to provide a whole spectrum of
nourishment. Bones and joints are particularly important as they enrich
the stock with the kind of nourishing substances which meat alone cannot
provide. In fact it

 his negative
feelings, suddenly he found himself writing Haiku (a formal Japanese
poetry style). He began writing reams of it ef fortlessly and later developed
the capacity for automatic writing.
Still another example is that of a sixty-year -old woman who decided to
return to college part time, even though she already had a full-time job.
Eventually, she attained her bachelor ’ s degree, then her master ’ s degree,
and finally a Ph.D., becoming an important executive with great
responsibilities.
There are literally thousands of examples that could be cited of the
rapid expansions that take place in people’ s life when the “I can’ ts” aresurrendered. Life situations, often of long standing, may be suddenly
resolved.
Paradoxically, such breakthroughs and expansions may be upsetting to
friends and family members because of the shift of balance. Things that we
had done out of constriction, fear, guilt, or a sense of duty may be suddenly
thrown overboard. New levels of consciousness change perception and new
horizons open up. Many of the motives that drive people may suddenly
become meaningless. Such things as money, fame, esteem, position,
prestige, power, ambition, competitiveness, and the need for security
diminish. They are replaced by the motivations of love, cooperation,
fulfillment, freedom, creative expression, expansion of consciousness,
understanding, and spiritual awareness. There tends to be more reliance on
intuition and feelings than on thinking, reason, and logic. People who are
very “yang” may discover their “yin” side, and vice versa. Rigid patterns
give way to flexibility. Safety and security become less important than
discovery and exploration. Personal lives pick up momentum, and
movement replaces stuck-in-a-rut life patterns.
One surprising observation about the mechanism of letting go is that
major changes can take place very rapidly. Lifetime patterns can suddenly
disappear, and long-standing inhibitions can be let go of in a matter of
minutes, hours, or days. Rapid changes are accompanied by an increased
aliveness. The life ener gy set free by the letting go of negativity now flows
into positive attitudes, thoughts, and feelings, with a progressive increase of
personal power. Thoughts are now more ef fective. More is accomplished
with less ef fort. Intention is made powerful by the removal of doubts, fears,
and inhibitions. W ith the removal of negativity, dynamic forces are
unloosed, so that what were once impossible dreams now become
actualized goals.
Resolution of Psychological Pr oblems: Comparison with
Psychotherapy
In general, letting go is often more rapid than psychotherapy. It is often
more liberating and stimulating to the growth of consciousness and
awareness. Psychotherapy, however, is better designed to elucidate
underlying patterns. The two may work well together. The mechanism of
letting go facilitates and speeds up psychotherapy, and it elevates its goals.
Psychotherapy may be more gratifying intellectually because of its verbalnature and its focus on the “whys” behind behavior. However, that is also
its limitation. T oo often intellectual insight is all that’ s really achieved, and
the emotional working through is slow, often painful, and ultimately
avoided. The mechanism of letting go, on the other hand, is concerned with
the emotional “what” from moment to moment, without involving the
intellect. The “why” becomes apparent of itself once the “what” has been
relinquished. It’ s one thing to analyze the causal basis of depression and
quite another to enter fully into the depth of hopelessness by letting go of
your resistance to the feeling. By allowing the full feeling of it and by
letting go of every sensation, every thought, and every little payof f you are
getting from it, you are free. It’ s not necessary to probe the “why” of
depression to become free from the “what” of it.
The goals of letting go are far beyond those of psychotherapy. The
ultimate aim of letting go and surrendering is total freedom. The goal of
therapy is readjustment of the ego to a more healthy balance. The two
systems are based on dif ferent paradigms of reality. The objective of
psychotherapy is to replace unsatisfactory mental programs with more
satisfactory ones. In contrast, the objective of letting go is the elimination of
limiting mental and emotional programs. It is the attainment of an
unconditioned mind and, ultimately, transcendence of the mind itself to
higher states of consciousness of love and peace.
In therapy, there is dependence on therapists and their training and
techniques, and there is also reliance on a psychological theory to which the
therapist and the patient both subscribe. Scientific research reveals that the
results of therapy are not related to the therapist’ s school of psychotherapy,
training or technique; instead, the results are related to the interaction
between them and the degree of the patient’ s desire to improve, as well as
the patient’ s faith and confidence in the therapist. Therefore, psychic factors
are operating of which psychotherapy is unaware.
W ith the mechanism of letting go, there is no patient role and no
dependency on another person or theory. The very wellsprings of neurotic
patterns automatically unfold as they are acknowledged, relinquished, and
disappear. Their basis is often at depths untouched by psychotherapy.
Except for the few holistic frameworks (e.g., Jungian analysis,
transpersonal psychology), therapy can be based on a limited understanding
of the total mind. It commonly addresses itself only to a portion of the ego.
It ignores and does not comprehend the great forces that determine, drive,and control the mind. Since the purpose of most psychotherapy is a well-
adjusted ego, there is no conception of what is beyond the ego.
The purpose of letting go, in contrast, is the elimination of the ego. The
ego is fearful and limited and, when it is surrendered, the inner Self stands
forth, and what was always more powerful is revealed. Many
psychotherapies have no real knowledge of the Self and are, therefore, blind
to Reality Itself. As for ef ficacy, psychotherapy is like a horse and buggy,
while the mechanism of surrender and letting go is like a space ship. In the
time it takes for therapy to slowly poke about a limited area, letting go has
already moved far beyond it into a whole new dimension.
Letting go has a peculiar advantage in that the surrendering of one
negative feeling also relinquishes the ener gy behind many other negative
feelings, so there is a constant across-the-board ef fect. For instance, a
successful and well-educated man had a life-long terrible fear of heights, an
intense phobia. At the time that he learned how to utilize the mechanism of
surrender, he had many pressing problems in his life. After learning how to
surrender, he was busy with letting go of his feelings and fears about major
life problems and never got around to specifically working on his lifelong
fear of heights. When he was later in a situation involving standing on a
roof, he was amazed to discover that his fear had greatly lessened. He was
delighted and went to the edge of the roof where he sat dangling his feet.
He was now able to get up on ladders and go on the roof for an hour with
no discomfort. This illustrates that, as one fear is relinquished, all fear is
diminished non-specifically.
Psychotherapy aims at the amelioration of neurotic patterns. Letting go,
however, is designed to undo the underlying causes of all neurotic
formation. It undoes the basic structure of maladaptive feeling and
behavior. Psychotherapy seeks for an improvement in neurotic balance.
Letting go, however, eliminates it all together.
A limitation of most psychotherapeutic frameworks is that the therapist
is constricted to what the world calls a healthy, functioning ego with all its
restrictions. In this paradigm, a healthy patient is considered to be one who
shares the same illusions and limitations condoned by society and the
therapist. By contrast, the purpose of the mechanism of surrender is to
transcend the illusions of the world and reach the ultimate truth behind it—
which is Self-Realization—and to discover the very basis of the mind itself,
the source of all thought and feeling.The goal of letting go is the elimination of the very sour ce of all
suffering and pain.  This sounds radical and startling and, in fact, it is!
Ultimately, all negative feelings stem from the same source. When enough
negative feelings have been relinquished, that source reveals itself. When
that source itself is let go of and dis-identified with, the ego dissolves. The
source of suf fering, therefore, loses the very basis of its power.
Each of us has a limit to the amount of negative feelings we have
stored up. When the pressure behind an emotion has been let go, that
emotion no longer occurs. For instance, if fear is constantly surrendered for
a period of time, eventually it runs out. It then becomes dif ficult or almost
impossible to feel further fear. It takes progressively more and more of a
stimulus to elicit it. Finally, the person who has surrendered a great deal of
fear actually has to search for it diligently. The ener gy of fear simply isn’ t
there anymore. Anger also progressively diminishes so that even a major
provocation fails to elicit it. A person with little fear or anger feels
primarily love all of the


 the feet (Kidney 1)
C. Hold a flat hand over subject’s lower left rib cage, with pinky finger in line with the bottom of the ribs & tap:
Cheekbones, lower edge of the eye-socket, just below the center of the eyes (Stomach 1)
OR
Lateral edge of the second toes, just below the nail (Stomach 45)
D. Hold a flat hand over subject’s lower left rib cage, with pinky finger in line with the bottom of the ribs & tap:
Sides of the  torso, halfway between the crook of the elbow and the armpit, about 4 inches / 10 cm from the armpit, (Spleen 21)
OR
The medial edge of the big toes, just below the nail (Spleen 1)

VII. REPEAT THE TOLERANCE LEVEL TEST (STEP IV).
You will probably see a g ratifying improvement in the amount of the substance which your subject can tolerate now.

THE TOLERANCE TESTING AND TAP PROCEDURE:
OUTLINE VERSION
I. DO THE BALANCING TAP, COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
II. CONFIRM ENERGY BALANCING.
A. With palm on the navel, test:
“In the clear” = 8 (muscle locks)
Pinch = 9 (muscle unlocks)
Unpinch = 8
B. With palm on the navel, test after subject says:
“No” = 9
“Yes” = 8
C. Remove hand from navel for the rest of this procedure.
III. CONFIRM THAT THE TEST –SPOTS TEST 8 IN THE CLEAR.
Touch and test one Tolerance Test Spot ( back of head).
Touch and test both Tolerance Tap Test Spots simultaneously, (sides of the torso, Spleen 21’s).
IV. TEST FOR TOLERANCE LEVEL
First do the Allergy Test to make sure the person is not allergic to the s ubstance.
Keep some of the substance on the SPA.
Touch one Tolerance Test  Spot and test.
If the indicator muscle stays locked, the subject can tolerate that much of the substance now.
Gradually increase the test -amount on the SPA, testing after each incr ease, until the indicator muscle unlocks. The largest amount
for which they hold strong is the current tolerance level.

V. DO THE TOLERANCE TAP TEST.
With the substance on the SPA, touch both Spleen 21’s, 4 inches below the armpits.
Test. An unlocked ind icator muscle shows that the Tolerance Tap will work now. A locked indicator muscle shows that the
Tolerance Tap will not work now.
VI. DO THE HK TOLERANCE TAP L L L L WITH ANY AMOUNT OF THE SUBSTANCE ON THE SPA.
Notice that there are areas that must be to uched and there is a choice of points to tap.
As with Allergy Tapping, it does not matter whose hands are used for the touching or tapping.
A/B. While the subject holds their palm over their navel, tap:
Beside the nose at the inner corners of the eyes (Bla dder 1)
OR the lateral edge of the little toes, just below the nail (Bladder 67), AND Chest, just below the collarbone, beside the
breastbone, and over the first ribs (Kidney 27) OR the center of the balls of the feet (Kidney 1).
C/D. While the subject hol ds a flat hand over the lower left rib cage, with pinky in one with the bottom of the ribs, tap:
Cheekbones, on the edge of the eye -socket, just below the center of the eyes (Stomach 1) OR the lateral edge of the second toes,
just below the nail (Stomach 4 5), AND Sides of the torso, about 4 inches / 10 cm down from the armpit, halfway between the
crook of the elbow and the armpit (Spleen 21) OR the medial edge of the big toes, just below the nail (Spleen 1).

VII. REPEAT STEP IV TO DISCOVER THE NEW TOLERANC E LEVEL.

You can be eating the highest-quality local and or ganic foods, but if your
body isn’ t able to digest the food properly, then you won’ t be receiving anynourishment from it. Ayurveda looks at the strength of your agni, your
digestive fire, to determine your ability to digest, absorb, and assimilate
your food—as well as grow from your life experiences.
SIGNS OF HEAL THY AGNI
Normal appetite ( Note:  healthy hunger involves lightness, clarity,
and a pleasant anticipation of food, but not an urgent need to
eat.)
Clean tongue (no or light coating)
Appreciation of taste
Good digestion, balanced metabolism
Can digest a reasonable quantity of any food without issues
Proper (and regular) elimination
Easily maintains homeostasis
Steady weight
Sound sleep
High energy, strong vitality
Calm mind
Clear perception
Courage, lucidity, and intelligence
Cheerfulness, optimism, and enthusiasm
Love of life and natural longevity
SIGNS OF IMP AIRED AGNI
The strength of agni is inevitably af fected when its qualities are muted by a
poor diet, improper food combinations, an unsupportive lifestyle, emotional
disturbances, or even damp, rainy weather. If you learn to recognize and
quickly address the following signs of imbalances with agni, the ef fects
need not be long-lasting. Otherwise, they will undoubtedly lead to ill health
and disease.
Emotional disturbances, with an increased tendency toward fear,
anxiety, anger, confusion, lethargy, or depressionLow energy, weakness, or fatigue
Suppressed or overactive appetite
Indigestion: gas, bloating, constipation, nausea, hyperacidity,
loose stools, a sense of heaviness, feeling tired or mentally
foggy after meals
A tendency toward congestion in the sinuses, the lymph, or even
the mind
GENERAL  AYUR VEDIC GUIDELINES T O IMPROVE DIGESTION
Sip on warm water throughout the day.
Drink only a small amount of liquid with your meals (½ cup of warm
water) and avoid drinking for at least an hour after eating.
Favor warm or room-temperature beverages over cold or iced.
Eat at regular times each day.
Do not eat anything until your previous meal is fully digested.
Allow lunch to be your biggest meal of the day and dinner to be your
smallest meal.
Have your last meal two hours before bedtime.
Eat home-cooked meals (made with love!) as much as possible,
rather than going out to eat.
Eat in a calm environment, and when your emotions are calm.
Eat slowly, chewing and tasting your food.
Do not overeat. Eat so that you still feel light after your meal: smaller
portions more regularly.
Eat foods that are easy for your body to digest.
Eat freshly cooked food, ideally within two or three hours of when it
was prepared.
Avoid reheated or prepackaged foods.Stay hydrated with mineral-rich water, hydrating teas, fresh food, and
juicy fruits.
Sit down while eating.
Eat local and seasonal foods.
OJAS
According to Ayurveda, healthy people have abundant ojas, the vital
essence that promotes health, immunity, happiness, and spiritual strength:
“It is the ojas which keeps all the living beings refreshed,” says the
Charaka Samhita.  “There can be no life without ojas. Ojas marks the
beginning of embryo.” Signs of abundant ojas are clear radiant eyes,
lustrous hair, glowing skin, a strong immune system, a positive outlook on
life, joy, mental clarity, and compassion. Signs of depleted ojas are dry skin,
cold hands or feet, constipation, anxiety, pain, mental fogginess, negativity,
loneliness, and fatigue.
To avoid disruptions in the vital ener gy of both you and your baby, lean
into the ojas-building foods discussed in chapter 4 (see “Building Ojas”
starting at this page ), and avoid foods that undermine ojas, such as the
following:
canned, processed, and prepackaged foods (these contain color and
flavoring agents, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, and chemicals)
frozen foods
tamasic foods
spicy foods
alcohol and caf feine
carbonated beverages
too much of the bitter or astringent tastesMAINTAINING BALANCE
Each of the five elements found in all things—ether, air, fire, water, and
earth—has a specific role in the development of your little one. When you
notice symptoms of imbalance such as bloating, acid reflux, constipation, or
diarrhea, refer to chapter 1 (and especially the section “Elements and
Doshas: Seeking Balance”) to find dietary and lifestyle practices that will
support you in coming back to a state of ease.
MEALTIME IDEAS FOR
PREGNANT MAMAS
Some mamas may feel perfectly fine having three meals per day without
any snacks in between. Some mamas might feel that three typical meals are
not enough nourishment during pregnancy, and they may end up feeling
depleted and exhausted without smaller meals between the main ones.
Below are some ideas for your main meals, as well as some simple and
nourishing mini-meal ideas for those of you who need more.
FIRST MEAL OF THE DAY, 7–7:30 A.M.
Fresh fruit can be a good way to start the day. Fruits are alkaline and help to
reduce acidity and morning sickness. Fruits such as apples, pomegranates,
fresh figs, and watermelon also contain iron, necessary for both you and
your little one. Bananas contain a lot of potassium, which will help
maintain the balance between fluids and electrolytes if you are vomiting.
Look for what is fresh, juicy, and local as a guide to what might nourish you
most.
Dried fruits and nuts, soaked, are another good option for this time.
Organic figs, dates, apricots, raisins, almonds, and walnuts are greatchoices, as they provide you with magnesium and iron as well as the fat to
support your little one’ s brain development.
A combination of nourishing foods called panchamrit —from pancha,
meaning “five,” and amrit,  meaning “immortal” or “nectar of the gods”—is
beneficial to eat in the early morning, before breakfast, to give you ener gy,
nourish the tissues of your body, and reduce fatigue. The five ingredients
come together quickly to make a warm, sweet ener gy booster for mama.
Panchamrit
Ingredients
5 teaspoons milk
2 teaspoons ghee
1 teaspoon raw cane sugar
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon yogurt
Instructions
Warm the milk, ghee, and sugar.
Take of f the heat, and add the room temperature yogurt and honey.
Stir it all together, and enjoy!
SECOND MEAL OF THE DAY, 9–10 A.M.
Your main breakfast meal could include one milk product such as fresh
yogurt, raw butter, paneer (fresh cheese), or cream-top spiced milk, to
supply your body with calcium, vitamin D, and protein. Grain dishes such
as poha  (flattened rice), upma  (semolina), or porridge made from soaked
oats, millet, or rice are other good options, as they provide carbohydrates
that will give you good ener gy and help you feel satisfied.Sprouts, either roasted in ghee or baked, are a great addition to this
meal, as they are a rich source of protein. If you are feeling acidic or
nauseated, include breads such as whole-grain or sourdough toast, parathas
(Indian stuf fed breads), or mung bean pancakes.
THIRD MEAL OF THE DAY, 12–2 P.M.
A good midday meal might include steamed green leafy, local vegetables—
to provide vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, iron, and calcium—and
dal, which provides the body with necessary protein and calcium. Yellow
split mung dal is easiest to digest and the only bean that does not increase
vata dosha. Dal will also help to maintain your hemoglobin levels.
Some type of bread with raw butter or ghee can add good
carbohydrates, and thus easy-to-use ener gy, to this meal: options range from
an Indian flat bread, such as chapati or roti, to your favorite multigrain or
sourdough toast. You can also substitute another grain for the bread, such as
rice, millet, barley, or quinoa. In either case, eating a good amount of
carbohydrates midday will reduce cravings and acidity, and help you feel
more nourished and satisfied.
Add at least 1 teaspoon of ghee to your meal.
ALL-DAY HYDRATION
Lime water provides the body with antioxidants and vitamin C, which
supports iron absorption and also serves as a natural antacid. This will also
improve your digestion and support hydration. You can add a half-teaspoon
of Himalayan or sea salt to increase mineral content.
Buttermilk is incredible for your digestion. It contains vitamin B12,
which aids iron absorption as well as reducing acidity and relieving
bloating. Try adding a pinch of salt, sugar, black pepper, and cumin powder,
a combination that will serve to support your digestion even more. It is best
consumed before sundown.Coconut water helps maintain balance between fluids and electroly

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in
the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we
must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.  – Henry D. Thoreau
Old age is not a time of life. It is a condition of the body. It is not time that ages the body, it is abuse
that does! – Herbert Shelton

Paul Bragg’s South Seas Health Adventure
I had thoroughl y enjoyed living on my Toxicless Diet, Body Purification
and Healing System for many years with great results. Through the years I
had progressively increased my intake of raw fruits and raw vegetables and
lightly cooked vegetables. I had not eaten a r egular br eakfast for years.
I had fasted faithfully for one 24 to 36 hour period weekly for many years
and had taken many, many cleansing fasts – some lasting from 7 to 10 days
or longer. But now I was ready to go to the South Sea Islands and discover
if it was possible to live on a 100% Toxicless Diet. I was seeking the Garden
of Eden! I gave myself a year for the experiment. I sailed to Tahiti and
based myself there. I also visite d the smaller islands around Tahiti and I
never stopped enjoying and living The Toxicless Diet, Body Purification
and Healing System.
In Tahiti my diet was exclusively made up of raw tropical fruits and
vegetables and lightly cooked vegetables. During this year I did not eat fish
or flesh of any kind and no eggs, grains or any dairy products. I ate some
raw nuts and seeds, especially when I took long trips – paddling the heavy
outrigger canoe to the outer islands or while climbing mountains.Daily, I exposed my body to the gentle  early morning and late afterno on
sun rays. I was often on lonely, deserted South Sea beaches where I could
live at times absolutely nude as Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden. It
was gr eat!
With the healthy, pure, clean Toxicless Diet and the warm tropical sun, I
became like one of the South Sea’s Natives. In fact, when people did see me
they would never believe I belonged to the Caucasian race! My skin and
muscle tone were absolutely without a flaw. My strength, endurance,
vitality, energy and vigor were supreme. Never befor e had I attained the
physical and internal perfectio n that I reached on that great South Sea
Adventur e!
He who has health has hope. He who has hope and God, has everything!

Bragg Shares Found Secret to Total Health
Many people who have heard about my South Sea Adventur e with The
Toxicless Diet, Body Purificatio n and Healing System have asked me the
question, ’Why, if you attained physical perfection in Tahiti, did you leave
that tropical Garden of Eden?’ My only answer is that I had found the true
secret to Total Health. I could not keep this life-changing health knowledge
to myself! I knew I had to share my discovery with my fellow Americans and
the world! I felt that now I had definitely proven that man can attain the
highest state of physical perfect ion. I would have been selfish not to share
it.
You can’t be selfish and hold on to a great discovery! You must share and
teach it. It’s only by teaching that you, the teacher, come to know your
subject better. I knew that I had been privileged to spend an entire year in
the Garden of Eden. Knowing that few people could visit the South Seas like
I did, I resolved to help others around the world to create their own Garden
of Eden wher e they live!The banana, papaya, mango, passion fruit, pineapple, coconut and
hundr eds of other tropical fruits were abundant in the South Sea Islands
and also in Hawaii. It was easy to grow many varieties of vegetables,
especially the great vegetable of the South Sea Islands – Taro – a perfect
food.
Since I returned from my South  Seas adventur e, I have travelled around
the world over 20 times. I’ve lived in all kinds  of tropical, cold and
temperate climates, but wher ever I am I create my own Garden of Eden. In
cold countries I add more natural starch to my diet, such as whole grain
bread, pastas, natural brown rice, cereals and other products made from
whole grains. I also use more raw nuts, seeds and nut butters. I may even
add a few eggs or fish, but basically I don’t care for flesh foods; I never did.
I was r eared on a big farm wher e I saw blood and slaughter at an early age,
and it saddened  me! There have been a few times when I ate meat and fish.
I did research among the short-lived Eskimos in the Arctic Circle. If I had
not eaten fish I would not be here today! I also studied the Laplanders, who
live on reindeer meat. Again, without reindeer meat I would have starved.
For most of my life I’ve enjoyed being a healthy vegetarian!!!
Remember, you ar e punished by your bad habits of living. – Paul Bragg
The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle Gives You Go-
Power, Longevity and Happiness!
We enjoy a clean, healthy diet of raw and lightly cooked organic
vegetables and fresh fruits. We have whole grain products when we want
them, along with raw nuts and seeds and their butters, and all the delicious
beans and legumes. We thrive on this more healthy, natural vegetarian diet.
If we felt our bodies needed flesh foods, we would eat them. But we wish to
impress upon you to seek organically fed, antibiotic-free, drug-free and
hormone-free meats, if you do want them. The Islanders my father met
when roaming the South Seas did eat cooked and raw fish, but those years
the ocean was clean!
After all, there are no two people alike chemically. That is the reason we
must, when presenting this Toxicless Diet, Body Purification and Healing
System, give you the basics of The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle.Always choose the most healthy, natural foods that will give your body
the best health! Remember, organically grown fruits and vegetables are
always best. Keep a daily health journal (8 ½ x11 notebook or 3 ring binde r,
see pages 132-133). Chart the health effects various foods have on your
performance, ener gy, weight, moods, well-being, etc.
By now we have made you aware that the more organically grown fruits
and vegetables – both raw and lightly cooked – you are able to assimilate,
the cleaner and purer your bloodstream and body will become! But you
must decide just how much meat, eggs, fish and dairy product s you want.
When you since rely desire a Painless, Tireless and Ageless Body, you will
keep those foods out of your body and thus reap more vibrant health!
When you discard all the devitalized, refined and processed foods you are
taking the greate st step towards a healthier, longer life. This alone will help
put you in a healthier condition! Your body will become cleaner and
healthier as you progressively add more raw and lightly-cooked vegetables
and fresh fruits to your diet.
Studies show both beta-car otene and vitamin C, abundantly found in fruits and vegetables, play vital
roles in pr eventing heart disease and cancers.
Have Special Rejuvenating Health Days
We have  “Speci al Health Days” – on these days we consume only fresh
fruit and the juice of fresh fruit. Dad and I often do a few days of only
watermelon and its juice when these wonderful melons are blood-red, ripe
and plentiful. We call this “The  Bragg Watermelon Flush” (a great kidney
cleanser, etc.). We enjoy going to the beach, lake, river or a mountain resort
armed with plenty of watermelons, and feast on absolutely nothing but this
fruit for 1 to 3 days. You may also chew and eat the seeds – so nutritious for
you! We love to cut the watermelon up and make juice, using a juicer or
cheese cloth as a strainer. We put this delicious liquid in a glass bottle and
refrigerate. When thirsty after hiking, playing tennis, exercising, etc. in the
warm sunshine, we enjoy our watermelon and also its’ juice – you will also!
We often enjoy full days of only fresh, ripe organic fruits,  cherries,
watermelon, fresh grapes, apric ots, etc. (Save the apricot pits, kernels are
high in vitamin B17. Dry, age, and then crack the pits and eat 1-2 kernels aday.) Very often in our busy lives, we will make it strictly a fruit day. We
both work and play harder


 there
is no life. Based on these principles, the circulation of Blood  is
induced by the sucking and squeezing action of the lung, which
moves the Qi throughout the body. Blocking this ow of Qi inhibits
the circulation of Blood. Obstructing Blood  exhausts Qi. When the
muscles are not active and the vessels cannot pulsate, the Blood  will
not circulate. This happens when people who are bedridden over a
long period develop stasis ulcers or bed sores. Lack of activity leads
to a stagnation of Blood  and Moisture, which  in turn leads to
degeneration and death of tissue.Yang also correspo nds to the basal metabolic state. The warmth
that we associate with life when a person is completely at rest (as in
deep sleep or coma) belongs  to Yang. There may be no perceptible
movement or activity, yet if the body is warm with moist vapor
being exhaled, then we know the person is alive. Yang and Yin are
the fundament from which Qi and Blood  derive their existence—just
as the mother gives birth to the child, but the child grows on its
own.
Moisture  is the intermediate state of Blood  generating to Qi and Qi
transforming Blood. Qi, Moisture, and Blood  can each be located on
the Yin-Yang  continuum as dierentiated manifestations of the
unitary life force, which is also Qi.
EVERYDAY  LIFE
The course of our everyda y lives requires that we balance the
interior proces s of nurturing the self (Yin) with being engaged in the
exterior work of the world (Yang). Our activity in the world fosters
our productivity, then we retreat from the business of the day each
evening to relax, rest, and sleep in order to accumulate and
replenish our store of Qi for the day to follow.
Our contempo rary culture encourages constant, often frenetic,
activity. People are so consumed with their productivity  that they
often neglect allowing enoug h time for the self to be replenished. To
overwork, overexercise, overparty, and overengage in the act of love
is to overindulge in Yang, which leads to burnout of Yin. The body
cannot for long tolerate consuming more than is replaced. The
consequences of this may be muscle, joint, bone, heart, or kidney
problems perhaps as serious and sudden as a heart attack.
On the other hand, to be preoccupied with matters of internal
health and overly focused on nourishing and protecting the delicate
interior of the body could mean an overemphasis on the Yin phase
of accumulation. A collector  who keeps acquiring more and more
goods that have potential value is so busy amassing and storing that
he has no time or energy left to put his hidden treasure s to use inthe productive life of the world. The Yin is protected, but the Yang is
lifeless. Similarly, a person who is all mass or substance (Yin) and
no energy (Yang) is lethargic, inert, and cannot work or play well.
Without exercise the muscles atrophy and the cardiovascular system
weakens.
The key is to achieve balance, which means being exible,
diverse, moderate, and in harmony with your own rhythms and
needs. Chinese medicine makes use of acupuncture, herbs, diet,
physical exerci se, massage, mental discipline, and the modication
of life-style habits as forms of therapy to reestablish the rhythmic
swing of the Yin-Yang  pendulum.
YIN-YANG  CHARACTER  PATTERNS
Some people can be characterized as being more Yang or Yin, based
on their character and body structure. Yet it is common for people
to manifest qualities of both, such as inhabiting a relatively Yin
body with a more Yang personality.
A Yang body is larger, stronger, more tense, springy, and
muscular, with a greater capacity for food and activity and a
minimal requirement for rest. Yang prefers and feels comfortable in
a stimulating, complex environment and acts quickly and
impulsively as if endowed with an unlimited supply of stamina and
invincible immunity to harm. It is a predilection of Yang to
overindulge without severe consequences and, when sick, to suer
intensely and recover quickly.
A Yin body is smaller, more slender and sinewy, and soft and
dense rather than tense. To be Yin is to enjoy quiet, calm, simple
environments and possess a more limited capacity for food, work,
and interaction. It is a preference of Yin to avoid prolonged stress
and to desire regular, adequate periods for rest and rejuvenation.
Yin illnesses develop gradually, and symptoms linger. Yin tends to
be more conservative and ecient, again, more like the tortoise
than the hare. Yang is not necessarily healthier than Yin. A person
with a more Yin constit ution may live longer and accomplish morebecause his or her life-style and environment are less stressful. A
more Yang individual is likely to suer the long-term consequences
of abuse, neglect, and shortsightedness.
My father is more Yang, and I’m more Yin—he strains to sit still
and relax, whereas I am content to abandon myself, reading and
reecting for hours. He drive s himself hard. In 1972 a heart attack
motivated him to stop smoking cigarettes or taking calls that
required him to perform emergency surgery in the middle of the
night. Since his heart attack seemed related to emotional stress as
well, he became more conscious about his state of mind, avoiding
upsets when he could. Althou gh he didn’t understand himself in Yin-
Yang terms, through his actions  he had begun to modula te his
extreme Yang by better protecting his Yin. I, on the other hand,
needed not to slow down my level of activity, but rather to do more
physically. Jogging felt too incompatible with my nature, so I
stimulate my Yin with Yang activity by swimming daily, doing t’ai
chi ch’uan (Chinese movement exercise), and walking.
In our culture, the characteristics of Yang are often regarded as
being more desirable than those of Yin. It is better to be a rabbit
than a turtle. The aggressive, hard-driving, ambitious, upwardly
mobile personality is admired and rewarded. Our cultural heroes
and heroines are Paul Bunyan, John Henry, Superman, Wonder
Woman, and James Bond. Great physical prowess, a certain clever
cunning, and audacious savvy are Yang characteristic s. In Asian
culture the opposite is true. In the Orient it is the wise sage who is
distinguished not by his physique, but by his hidden powers of
wisdom and philosophy.
Cultural judgm ents aside, to say someone is Yin or Yang does not
necessarily imply that one is strong or weak, healthy or sick, but
more describes  how someone is strong, weak, or sick. Recognition of
Yin-Yang  pattern s helps us observe how we live our lives and predi ct
the ways in which we will become ill and can be treated.
When Yin is overabundant, Yang collapses, overcome by cold,
static inertia. When Yang is overabundant, it exhau sts the Yin,
depleting Blood  and Moisture, which result s in emaciation. A cold
and weak ( Yin) person needs to stay warm by dressing appropriatelyand eating warming foods. A hot and hyperactive (Yang) person
needs to guard against dissip ating Qi by overuse and abuse and by
learning to relax, exercise self-restraint, and be patient.
Whereas the Yang type is subject to delusio ns of boundless,
superhuman strength, the Yin type is subject to fears of inadequacy.
Through proigacy, the Yang type can become weaken ed or
decient and therefore more Yin. The Yin type, through
conservation, can acquire increased energy and expand limits,
becoming more Yang. Each can learn from the other: Yang can
benet from the long-term and thrifty perspective of Yin; Yin can
learn to focus,  express, and actualize energy more like Yang. Yang
needs Yin for its foundation, and Yin needs Yang for its fruition.
Yang types tend to become Yin decie nt and Yin types tend to
become Yang decie nt. People who lack Yang have trouble rising
with the dawn and kindling their morning re. They crave sunlight,
warmth, and enjoy spring and summer. Since their own re is low,
they benet from outside stimulation that awakens, motivates, and
activates them. They might be likened to snakes and lizards, which
are dicult to arouse until after they have basked on a warm rock
in the sun. Someone who is Yang decient and lives in a cold
climate will be challenged to maintain circulation, digestion,
enthusiasm, and libido because their limited re is being used to
sustain basic survival.
Yang easily becomes overextended by vibrating at a high
frequency, like the honeybee, engaging in incessant work and
activity. Neglecting sleep and nourishment increases the probability
of shortening an intense life. For someone more Yang who lives in a
hot, dry climate, it is a challe nge to avoid dehydration, restlessness,
and irritability.
If Yin is decient over time, Yang becomes decient, and vice
versa. Not only do Yin and Yang balanc e


 open air. It will probably need
some additional water after the lumps are out. Then beat
again until it bubbles. Have gem pans and oven very hot and
pans well oiled. Put batter in to pans and bake quickly.

UNLEAVENED HYGEIA GEMS.
Whip one egg to a creamy froth to which add three cups
of ice cold milk, a pinch of salt, and three heaping cups of
Christian's Combination Cereal Meal, or enough to make into
a batter. Stir into this a small piece of melted butter and place
in very hot gem or muffin pans oiled with butter and bake in a
very hot oven. This will make about one dozen gems.
This bread can be made extremely delicious by omitting
the butter and adding one-half cup of grated protoid nuts to
the ingredients above named.
Note:—Cooked bread has become such an universal
article of diet and modern milling and bolting processes have
so perverted and changed the nutritive value of the Natural
grain that we therefore have prepared this special meal,
making an exception in this case, and give the above recipe
for making a perfectly pure, delicious and wholesome article
of unfermented bread.

Note:—The raising and lightness of all unleavened bread
depends entirely upon the difference in temperature between
the batter and the oven. If the batter is made ice cold and
aerated well in mixing, and placed immediately in a very hot
oven, the expansion of the air contained in the batter caused by heating will raise the bread, making it as light as if made
with baking powder.
SANDWICHES.

The sandwich has become a part of the traveler's bill-of-fare.
The few recipes given here are only suggestive of the
combinations that can be made in elementary foods.

APPLE AND NUT SANDWICHES.
Cut apples into very thin slices and lay between unfired
wafers. Slice Brazil nuts and place a layer of nuts over the
apples.

LETTUCE AND CHEESE SANDWICH.
Spread unfired bread thickly with fresh Philadelphia
cheese and lay on this a crisp lettuce leaf that has been dipped
in salad dressing. Keep in ice box until ready to serve.

CHEESE AND DATE SANDWICH.
Spread the unfired cracker with Philadelphia cream
cheese, then a layer of date butter, and cover the other piece
of bread with cream cheese also, and press both firmly
together.
Fig butter and unfired crackers also make nice
sandwiches.

CREAM CHEESE SANDWICH.
Spread the cheese between unfired wafers, making the
cheese as thick as the wafer.

RIPE OLIVE SANDWICH.
Remove the pits from the olives, chop fine with nuts and
place between the unfired wafers.

CHIPPED BEEF SANDWICHES.
Spread sweet butter or cream cheese on unfired wafers,
placing a layer of chipped beef between the wafers. This
makes a very delicious sandwich.

NUTS.

NUTS average from 50 to 70 per cent. fat and from 15 to 33
per cent. proteids. They are, therefore, measured by their
chemical food values, the natural substitute for meats, to say
nothing of their superiority in purity and cleanliness. They
may constitute a part of every elementary meal.
The preparation of nuts requires no recipes, They
compose, however, a part of many dishes, recipes for which
are given, and into which they are put in some form owing to
their delicious flavor when mixed with other foods and their
high nutritive value.

FOR BLANCHING ALMONDS.
Soak almonds over night, or seven or eight hours, in cold
fresh water. The covering will be easily removed and they
will have become very crisp and edible. The old method of
blanching almonds has always been to emerse them in boiling
water, which cooks and tou ghens the nut, making it very
difficult both of mastication and digestion.
SALAD DRESSINGS.

THE objection to nearly all salad dressings is that they contain
either vinegar, or chemical acids. These condiments set up
immediate fermentation when mixed with cereal starch,
which is contained in bread a nd other cereal foods eaten at
the same time, and hyperpepsia (sour stomach) is the natural
result.

HYGIA SALAD DRESSING.
 2 Eggs,   1  cup Whipped Cream,
 ½ Lemon, Sugar,
 2 tablespoonfuls Olive Oil,  Salt.
To the yolks of the eggs, beaten very stiff, add the oil and
juice of the lemon very slowly, beating hard all the while,
until it has all been added and is quite thick. Then add the
beaten white of eggs, salt and s ugar to taste, and last, one cup
of whipped cream; whip all together until very stiff and set on
ice until ready to serve.

WHIPPED CREAM FOR SALAD DRESSING.
Place in a soup bowl one cup of very thick cream. Whip
with Dover egg beater until very stiff. Add to this two
teaspoonfuls of powdered sugar. Beat thoroughly again. This
makes a very delicious dressing for all sweet fruit salads. If
very heavy cream cannot be procured, add to it the stiffly
beaten white of an egg.
SALADS.

IN living upon uncooked foods, vegetable salads become
absolutely necessary. The elementary bill of fare cannot be
balanced without a certain percent, of chlorophyll, which is
only obtainable in green plants. All green vegetables are also
rich in organic mineral salts, which is one of the most
necessary articles in vegetable nutrition. In addition to these
material values, they are highly ornamental, and no dinner is
complete without them.
