• Withdrawal order: drink water first. Ide-
ally, the water should be thawed, dew or
spring. The drinking manner is important:
you need to add three capsules of LINEX
to the first glass of water, drink this glass of
water over the course of fifteen minutes.
and that’s vital: do not hurry, drink sip by
sip. The last sip should be taken during the
fourteenth minute.  Drinking an entire
glass in under ten minutes is very risky.
The water consumption systems cannot
cope, and fainting is the least of potential
consequences.
Thus, over the course of two hours, you should
drink eight glasses of water. Then you can brush
your teeth. In very rare cases, the first sips of
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frwater can cause nausea. Each sip of water must
be held in the mouth, mixed it with saliva, and
then swallowed after 20 -30 seconds. Drinking
water can be combined with taking a shower. Af-
ter a shower, it is good to pour cold water over
yourself, and then take a warm bath (not a hot)
with infusions of herbs (no longer than 8
minutes). Along with the washing, you mus t
continue to drink water until 12 o'clock.
• At 12 pm you need to drink warm protein
broth (as much as you want), fish broth, with-
out vegetables, well -cooked, without salt or
bread. Broth can be cooked with spices (but
don’ t eat the spices).
• After dry fa sting, you should start eating in
small portions. The extended time of with-
drawing from the dry fast is associated with
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frthe need for a gradual increase on the burden
on the pancreas, which was inactive during
fasting and must now be carefully put into op-
eration.
• At 2 pm, eat animal protein in the form of a
fermented milk product: kefir, Bolotov whey
(see below for details) - as much as you want,
in small portions. When breaking fast, ob-
serve the following important rules: drink wa-
ter, eat food slowly, in small portions. Drink a
sip, swallow a bite, sit down, listen to yourself.
If you chew a portion of food, and do not feel
any taste, or it tastes bland, it means that your
stomach is not ready to digest this food and it
is ballast for you. Wait a few days an d try it
again. If you feel discomfort during or after
eating it, such as pain in the stomach, dry
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frmouth, an internal unwillingness to eat any
more of it, stop the intake of this food. It
means that it is harmful, and do not regret the
money spent on food – your health is more
valuable.
• In the absence of discomfort, the volume of
food consumed should equal the volume of a
tea glass. Consumption time is also fifteen
minutes. If you feel discomfort with one type
of food, immediately switch to another type.
Somehow, my patient, with extensive experi-
ence of withdrawing from fasts using water, pre-
pared raw vegetables to withdraw from his first
five- day dry fast.
After the water came the turn of vegetables. He
swallowed the first bite, waited a minute, and
wante d to continue, but then felt a sting in his
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frstomach, as if he was stabbed. Then he realized
that the pain disappeared when he ate boiled
vegetables. After that, he started to come out of
dry fasts using protein foods: kefir and fish
broth, and there were no problems. This is nec-
essary because after the end of a dry fast, the
body is in dire need of building material, which
is animal protein, for the synthesis of proteins
and new cells. Violation of this rule can lead to
negative consequences!
• Do not forget about the therapeutic chewing
method (by H. Fletcher26).

26 Horace Fletcher (1849 -1919), nicknamed "The Great Mastica-
tor," was a well known and influential food and health faddist in
early 20th century North America. Fletcher believed that prolonged
chewing precluded overeating, led to better systemic and dental

begin consuming bee products: honey and
pollen. Food should be varied and well -satu-
rated with vitamins and micro - and macro el-
ements. During the first five days after the
start of withdrawing from the dry fast, use
only fresh, pure and high -quality products.
You cannot eat sugar and sugar -containing or

days, you need to guard against drafts and
cold. in the first days of the coming out, the
immune system is reconditioned to neutralize
food and water, so the body is weakened, then
the body will be restored and the immunity
will be even stronger than before fasting.

13.6.  Nutrition program for good digestion
(during withdrawal from a fast)
Most people are constantly sick or almost sick
becau se they are trying to process a huge amount
of excess food that they consume. After a fast,
you can easily and quickly establish proper di-
gestion. Make it a rule not to eat after 4pm. If you
observe this condition, you will sleep soundly.

body will self -purify and normalize the fat layer.
Eat breakfast between 9 and 10 in the morning
or earlier. Eat a fresh vegetable salads made with
carrots, cabbage and greens (steamed vegetables
in the winter). The second cour se will comprise
bread from sprouted grains with honey or sea
kale, or whole -grain porridge with a little oil. To-
gether with cabbage, carrots and greens, they
will stimulate the work of the digestive tract, cul-
tivating the right microflora, and will restor e the
body’s endocrine system through feedback.
Eat a salad first. This will result in the activation

mal functioning of the body. For example, the

the body, even if they are promoted as supplements, beauty or rejuvenation ai ds, or other types of health builders. Combine the
influence of these food additives with the extra work the body performs to proce ss high-fat meals, as well as the compromises in
blood function that plague people in the habit of eating heavy, fatty diets, a nd you have the perfect recipe for the early onset of aging
and health decline.

Oil Is Not Health Food
While we have learned and repeatedly demonstrated that whole foods are th e only source of balanced nutrition, many health
advisors tell us that refined, isolated fats and oils should be considere d “health foods.” They almost all sell some type of “food-
grade” oil, which seems like a fairly strong endorsement. Are we jus t supposed to ignore the obvious contradiction?
Some  vendors promote the consumption of oil as part of an internal “cleans e” program. I have even heard oil referred to as
“juice,” with the suggestion that we drink it as a daily health pra ctice. This is the stuff that draws ridicule from mainstream scie ntists
and nutritionists, and, at least according to many health experts, is wh y the raw movement is being laughed out of the scientific
community.

Oils … Empty Calories at Best, Carcinogenic Junk Fo od at Worst
Across the board, refined oils (including coconut, flax, olive, hemp, almon d, borage, and the like, which are touted as “pure”
or “special” because of their source or careful processing meth ods) are essentially empty calories, not fit for human consumption.
They are stripped of the fiber, protein, and carbohydrates that accompanied th e whole foods from which they were derived, leaving
an imbalanced fractional product that is 100% fat.
In contrast, whole-food  fats eaten sparingly  (fresh nuts, seeds, avocados, or young coconut flesh) provide some useful
nutrition and are not automatically detrimental to health. Using su ch intact sources of fat in salad dressings and other dishes with thei r
full complement of macro and micronutrients is by far preferable to usin g refined oils.
Although oil vendors tout a wide variety of health benefits to be gained fr om the phytochemicals contained within cold
expeller-pressed oils, there can be no doubt that these delicate micronut rients are more potent when left untouched within the whole
foods. Maximum nutrition occurs when our teeth  are the first thing to break Nature’s package … rather than a ma chine, an
appliance, or even a knife.
Further, the fiber contained in whole plant foods helps keep fats from going r ancid. Shortly after extracting any oil from its source and discarding the fiber, early-stage rancidity (and therefor e potential carcinogenicity) ensues, even if we cannot detect it. A s
rancidity begins to set in, micronutrients become deranged.
If calling refined oil “empty calories” doesn’t sit well with you, ch alk it up to good marketing—because oil (pure fat) fits the
description of empty calories perfectly, as do protein powder (pure protein) and t able sugar (pure carbohydrate). These include
commodities popular among raw fooders such as evaporated cane sugar (Rapadur a) and hemp protein. Empty calories invariably
provide less nutritional value than their whole-food counterparts.
If we think only in terms of symptoms, we may indeed perceive some benefits  from consuming oil. But when we extract the oil
from nuts and seeds in a vain attempt to maximize their anticancer pr operties and concentrate other nutrients, we create (often
undetectable) imbalances within the body that inevitably produce unin tended health problems. Adding oils into the diet to treat
symptoms such as dry skin, eczema, dandruff, candida, joint aches, etc., which  were not caused by a lack of oils (no known
symptom is actually caused by a lack of oil), is totally nonsensical.
Rather than treat or suppress the symptoms of any condition, it is always  a healthier strategy to remove the causes of the
condition. True health is created from the inside out, not through lotions, pot ions, or other aids. Increasing the amount of high-water-
content fruits and vegetables while reducing fat consumption to a hea lthful range is the foundation for creating a healthful life.
Eating for health requires a shift in thinking, from “is this good for me ” to “what am I designed for?” No matter how we look at
it, oil is simply not necessary in our diet and should never be considered a he alth food (or even a food, in my opinion).

10% Fat for Health
If you are relatively new to the idea of monitoring your caloronutrient  ratio, bringing your total fat consumption down to the
teens (under 20%) is an excellent initial goal. You can accomplish th is by just calculating the fat in your nuts/seeds/avocados/etc.,
without factoring in the covert fats in your low-fat fruits and vege tables. These foods add only a negligible amount of fat to the daily
intake—just a few percentage points total.
As eating a greater volume of fruits and vegetables gets easier, you  may decide that it is worth your effort to track the covert
as well as the overt fats for a short time, in order to get a more realisti c view of your total fat consumption. You may find that you
need to be vigilant in monitoring fat intake, at least at first, because  fat calories are more concentrated than carbohydrate or protein
calories and therefore, are easy to miss.

The Caloronutrient Seesaw
A truly healthy diet is well balanced in nutrients, but the balance i s not the one we have been taught. Eating 80% + of calories
from carbohydrates, with fat and protein in the upper single digits, a ctually balances what I term “the caloronutrient seesaw” quit e
nicely.

In the graphic above, protein is the fulcrum, and fat weighs so heavy on our  system that just a little bit goes a very long way. A
balanced caloronutrient seesaw would be 80% + carbs, with single-digit (less than 10%) protein and fats.  When this ratio comes from
whole, fresh, ripe, raw, organic, plants, all the rest of your food-related nut rients will be consumed in the optimum quantities for
human health.

Chapter 8. The Big Surprise: Raw Fooders Average 60 %+ Fat!

As is true of new vegetarians or vegans, when people initially begin i ncorporating raw foods into their diets, they almost
automatically gravitate toward foods of similar composition to the ones th ey are used to, in order to feel satisfied. With delight and
abandon, they eat their fill of luscious raw concoctions that are treme ndously rich and difficult to digest, certain that they have
reached “nutrition nirvana.” In the back of their minds, they may re call someone having mentioned that these are “transitional” or
“celebration” foods, but today they are still celebrating their tr ansition … and what a party it is!
Can you make raw pizza? Sure, that’s easy. Y ou can find hundreds of pi zza recipes among the dozens of raw websites and
recipe books available today. Virtually any dish from any cuisine can be re plicated using only raw ingredients.
In some parts of the U.S. and abroad, it is becoming easier and easier to jump on th e raw food bandwagon. The raw-curious
can dip their toes into an ever-expanding array of potlucks, food-preparation w orkshops, chef trainings, and prepared food
offerings being presented by local raw chefs, speakers, and food ven dors. Prepackaged raw snacks, desserts, and entrées are
becoming popular in many health-food stores, sometimes meriting a secti on of their own with multiple rows of taste sensations. And
it seems a new raw restaurant, or at least a deli with a few raw options, opens every week in some area of the country.
For those with computer access, virtual communities and online discu ssion boards abound, and it doesn’t take much searching
to find plenty of helpful support (and confusing information) for your new en deavor. And if you can afford the luxury of travel, you
can find raw retreats, festivals, and educational events taking pl ace across the globe year ’round.
Unbeknownst to the new raw food enthusiast, however, virtually every spe aker they are likely to hear and every food they are
likely to taste will lead them down a garden path to a raw diet that at le ast equals—and often far surpasses—the fat content of
mainstream American fare, in terms of percentage of calories cons umed.
Yes, you read that correctly: Almost across the board, raw fooders rank righ t up there with the burgers-and-fries crowd when
it comes to ingesting fat, almost always consuming 50% of their calorie s as fat, usually far more. I see it all the time: raw fooders who
eat a chocolate-coconut-almond shake or a fruit-and-flax-oil smoothie f or breakfast, a nut pâté for lunch with an oil-drenched,
avocado-laden salad on the side, glorious granola bars or slices of fruit sla thered with nut butter as snacks, and tahini-dressed
greens and sprouts for


 name of the devil that is inhabiting one’s body and then, knowing thatsecret name, performs the correct rite and ritual to cast that demon out. I don’tknow why people are made so happy knowing the name of their condition! Doesit really matter? Either the body can heal the condition or it can’t. If it can, you willrecover (especially if you give the body a little help). If the body can’t heal a
condition you will die or live a long time being miserable. No “scientific” medical
magic can do better than that.
By describing a disease in terms of its related organ weaknesses, instead of
pinning a Latin name on it, I am able to assist the body to achieve recovery in asuperior way that the physician rarely does. By discovering that the body with thelump of overly strong cells also has a weak spleen, liver and thymus gland, I cantake actions to strengthen the spleen, liver and thymus. If the body can strengthenits spleen, liver and thymus, then the overly strong cells miraculously vanish. But ofcourse what I did did not cure any disease. Any improvements that happen Iassign (correctly) to the body’s own healing power.
The way I analyze the organic integrity of the body is through a number of
related methods, including the general appearance of the body, the patient’s healthhistory, various clues such as body and breath odor, skin color and tone, andespecially, biokinesiology, the applied science of muscle testing. Biokinesiologycan be used to test the strength or weakness of specific organs and their function.A weak latissimus dorsi muscle indicates a weak pancreas, for example. Specificacupuncture points can be tested in conjunction with muscle strength to indicatethe condition of specific organs or glands. The strength of the arm’s resistance todownward pressure could be calibrated with a spring scale and precisely gauged,but experienced practitioners have no need for this bother, because they are ableto pick up subtle changes in the arms resistance that are not apparent to thetestee. Thus muscle testing becomes an art form, and becomes as effective as theperson using it is sensitive and aware.
Biokinesiology works because every organ and gland in the body is
interconnected with other parts of the body through nerve pathways and nervetransmissions, which are electrical and can be measured through muscle testing.This may seem too esoteric for the “scientific” among you, but acupuncture pointsand energy manifestations around and in the body are now accepted phenomena,their reality demonstrated by special kinds of photography. Acupuncturists, who
heal by manipulating the body’s energy field with metal needles, are now widely
accepted in the western hemisphere. Kinesiology utilizes the same acupuncturepoints (and some others too) for analytic purposes so it is sometimes called“contact reflex analysis.”
I have studied and used Kinesiology for 25 years with the majority of my
clients with very good success. There are some few people who are very difficultto test because they are either too debilitated, lack electrical conductivity, or theirstate of mind is so skeptical and negative about this type of approach that they putup an impenetrable mental barrier and/or hold their body so rigidly that I canhardly determine a response. A skilled tester can overcome the obstacle of aweak body that can barely respond, but the person who is mentally opposed anddetermined to prove you wrong should not be tested. If you proceed on someonelike this it is sure to have an unsatisfactory outcome for all concerned. For even ifI manage to accurately analyze the condition of a skeptical client, they will neverbelieve the analysis and will not follow suggestions.
The “scientific,” open-minded, “reasonable” client can be better approached
using an academic-like discussion based on published literature that demonstrateshow people with similar symptoms and complaints do very well on a particulardietary regimen and supplements. This type of person will sometimes followdietary recommendations to the last letter, because their scientific background hastrained them to be obedient.
When a client comes to me, I like to take a real good look at who is sitting in
front of me. I take my leisure to find out all about their history, their complaints,their motivation to change, their experience with natural healing, their level ofpersonal responsibility, whether or not they have to work, whether or not they cantake time out to heal, will they fast or take supplements, do they have sufficientfinances to carry a program through to a successful completion, do they havepeople closely connected to them that are strongly opposed to alternativeapproaches, can they withstand some discomfort and self-denial, do they have
toxic relationships with other people that are contributing to their condition, are
they willing to read and educate themselves in greater depth about natural healing,etc. I need to know the answers to these questions in order to help them choose aprogram which is most likely to succeed.
Even though fasting is the most effective method I know of, it is not for people
who are compelled to keep up a work schedule, nor is it for people who are veryill and do not have anyone to assist them and supervise them. Nor is it for peoplewho do not understand fasting and are afraid of it. People who have associatesthat are opposed to it, and people who do not have a strongly-functioning liver orkidneys should not casually start water fasting either. Seriously ill people that havebeen on a meat-heavy diet with lots of addicting substances need a long runwayinto a fast so as to not overwhelm their organs of elimination. Does the person infront of me have an eating disorder, or an otherwise suicidal approach to fasting,etc. Clearly fasting is not for everyone, and if I recommend it to the wrongperson, the result will be a bad reputation for a marvelous tool.
Given that many clients can not fast without a lot of preparation, the majority
of my clients start out with a gentle detox program that takes considerably moretime, but works. These gradients have been outlined under the healing programsfor the chronically ill, acutely ill, etc.
To help rebuild poorly functioning organs, I sometimes use a specialized group
of food supplements called protomorphogens. These are not readily available tothe general public and perhaps should not be casually purchasable like vitamins,because, as with many prescription drugs, supervision is usually necessary fortheir successful use. If the FDA ever succeeds at making protomorphogensunavailable to me, I could still have very good results. (At this time the Canadianauthorities do not allow importation of protomorphogens for resale, thoughindividuals can usually clear small shipments through Canada Customs if for theirown personal use.) But protomorphogens do facilitate healing and sometimespermit healing to occur at a lower gradient of handling. Without them a body
might have to fast to heal, with the aid of protomorphogens a person might be
able to get better without fasting. And if protomorphogens are used (chewedup—ugh!) while fasting, healing is accelerated.
Protomorphogens are made from freeze-dried, organically-raised animal organ
meats (usually calf or lamb) combined with very specific vitamins, herbs and otherco-factors to potentiate the effect. I view protomorphogens as containingnutritional supplementation specific for the rebuilding of the damaged organ.
Doctor Royal Lee, a medical genius who developed protomorphogens therapy
in the 50s and who spent several stints in prison in exchange for his benevolenceand concern for human well-being, also founded the company that has suppliedme with protomorphogens. After decades of official persecution and denial of theefficacy of protomorphogens by the power structure, it looks like they are aboutto finally have their day. As I write this book cutting-edge medical researchcompanies are developing therapies using concentrated animal proteins(protomorphogens) to treat arthritis, multiple sclerosis, eye inflammations andjuvenile diabetes. The researchers talk as though they are highly praiseworthy for“discovering” this approach.
Unfortunately, this development is likely to cut two ways. On one hand, it
vindicates Dr. Lee; on the other, when these drug companies find a way to patenttheir materials, they may finally succeed at forcing protomorphogens (currentlyquite inexpensive) off the non-prescription market and into the restricted andprofitable province of the MD.
I divide clients into two basic types: simple cases and complex ones. When I
was treating mental illness, occasionally I had a client who had not been sick fortoo long. I could usually make this client well quite easily. But if the person hadalready become institutionalized, had been psychotic for many years, hadreceived much prior treatment, then their case had been made much moredifficult. This sort had a poor prognosis. A very similar situation exists withphysical illnesses. Many people get sick only because they lack information about
how to keep themselves healthy and about what made them sick. Once they find
out the truth, they take my medicine without complaint and almost inevitably getbetter very rapidly. Some of these people can be quite ill when they first come tome but usually they have not been sick for very long. Their intention when cominginto my office is very positive and have no counter intentions to getting better.There are no spiritual or psychological reasons that they deserve to be sick. If thisperson had not found me, they almost certainly would have found some otherpractitioner who would have made them well. This type of person honestly feelsthey are entitled to wellness. And they are.
However, some of the sick are not sick for lack of life-style information; they
suffer from a mental/spiritual malady as well, one that inevitably preceded theirillness by many years. In fact, their physical ailments are merely reflections ofunderlying problems.


Whether the body is throwing out the worn-out cells, or not throw-
ing out the worn-out cells.
Whether or not the proteins are digesting. Whether there is too much manganese, or not enough. 81 Whether there is too much iron, or not enough.
Whether there is too much iodine, or not enough.
Whether there is too much arsenic, or not enough. Whether or not there is enough potassium, phosphates, etc., of all
the elements.
The perfect equation is:
ͩ.ͭ	(ͩ)				ͮ.ͬͨ	(ͪ)
ͮ.ͬͨ	(ͫ)
ͭ)					ͫ	(ͮ)
ͫ	(ͯ)

The first number denotes the carbohydrates (1.5). The numbers (2) and (3) denote the lack of calciums, or the re-
sistance between the anions and cations, the anions and anions, cations and cations. This is a key factor in measuring the total amount of en-ergy in our bodies, and is the key factor in the reserve energy, howev-er, it is not the whole key.
The pH (measure of resistance) factor is number (2) and (3). The top number is the pH of the urine, and the bottom is the pH of
the saliva. The numbers are not fractions.
The fourth number denotes the total salt measurement in micro
numbers. This indicates whether the body retains too much salt or not
enough. This is done through the process of elimination, which is a mathematical calculus equation.
The fifth number indicates the basic change of worn-out cells. The sixth and seventh numbers cover or indicate many things. If
these numbers are running too high it indicates that the proteins are turning to urea because of the high salt, and causes the heart to beat too hard, and the person is a candidate  for a pectoris heart attack, also
the person is too tired, or tensions are building up. If the worn-out cells are flushed out of the system in three days it does not turn to
urea. Urea is undigested protein.
The iron, iodine, manganese, and arsenic are measured by the pro-
cess of elimination. 82 These numbers show where, or in what area or areas, is the great-
est loss of energy. The combined salt reading and the urea reading co-
vers many reasons for the loss of energy in the body.
Practically all diseases start with mineral deficiency, which begins
with the liver and has an effect on the other vital organs.
As these vital organs begin to malfunction this affects the muscu-
lar action of the cranial nervous system, therefore it may make the symptom in a different location from the cause of the symptom.
Here again we run into energy cause and effect.  What the RBTI Test Will Not Do By taking the tests consecutively certain dietary patterns can be
determined. Then we can zero in on the health problem.
The test will not show gallstones because the gall bladder is so
thin that when it stretches the energy is covering such a large area. However, there are other symptoms that show that there is a loss of energy in the digestion of foods because the bile has been in the gall bladder too long, and it is in a rather fermented state and therefore it upsets the digestive system. Then by deduction we can conclude that the gall bladder is not functioning normally. The stones receive energy but do not give it off.
Nausea, and soreness in the solar plexus area are symptoms of a
gall bladder disturbance. (The solar plexus refers to the area where the ribs connect to the sternum bone. The solar plexus is at the bottom of the sternum.)
Where ulcers have been many times the gastric juices kept the ul-
cers so clean until the energy was dissipated over such a large area that we could not pick them up on the first test. After three or four days of tests they are very easy to pick up and locate.
The RBTI test does not pick up a broken blood vessel in which
there is no loss of energy. It is just that the blood vessel is leaking a little bit of blood and no energy is lost because the tear in the blood vessel may be in the dermis of the skin or elsewhere in the body.
If a hernia is completely healed and there is no loss of energy it
will not show. However, the hernia can still be there and cause trou-83 ble. If that hernia has inflammation, and there is a high amount of cell
decay, it will pick up this hernia.
There must be a loss of energy in order for these equations to
work.
People who have a buzzing or bells ringing, or humming, or a
noise in their ears, it is actually a t ype of energy and can be picked up
in the test. This js because the energy gives off a little bit of heat, and
the heat waves are striking the anvil of the ear and this causes the buzzing, humming or noises in the ear  which indicate an infection, or
whatever the problem may be. This ty pe of energy is easy to pick up
even in very small amount.
These then are the weak points in the equation.
  84 CHAPTER 10
RANGE A – E

In the RBTI equation there are five patterns that are away from
perfect.
The perfect range has numbers so many decimals on each side of
perfect. The ranges are A, B, C, D,  and E. Range B is whole numbers
away from range A. The C range is way out, it is a long way from range A. In range C the numbers are the farthest out above the ones in range A. That is, they are on the alkali side, or on the anionic side.
In the range D the numbers drop below perfect, or on the lower
side of the A range.
In the E range the numbers are way out below the A and D range. People in the E range are near death. In these five ranges we have 2,600 differentials (i.e. we have
26002600 different variations within the equation). To give a compar-ison of how great a number this is, here are some examples:
3
2 means 3 times itself 2 times (3 x 3 =9)
34 means 3 times itself 4 times (3 x 3 x 3 x 3 =81)
There are 80,000 standard drops of water in 4 liters (which is
about one gallon) of water. That means there are about 23 standard drops of water in all of the oceans (i.e. 23 times itself 23 times).
Now the RBTI equation has 26002600 different variations. That means 2600 times itself 2600 times. That number is more
than there are grains of sand or drops of water in the oceans. Do you realize that we are unique individuals and yet God knows each one of us?
It is possible for a person's body chemistry range to be in all five
ranges. And. this is where the differential comes in. We call these ZONES. It is in these zones that we measure named illnesses.
For example, if one has a very low urinary sugar, it would be in
range E, and yet the salt could be in range D, or C (or any range). Or, you could have pH in the C range and the liver pH in the D range (or any range), or vice versa. The same is true of the urea. This brings 85 about what we call "zones." These zones can be graphed and in them
the malady is located.
When one understands the numbers well enough, the frequency,
the micronage, the milli-micronage  and the milli-milli-micronage you
can also see it in three dimensions, you also see the color, and you can draw a picture of what the problem is and where it is in the body with absolute accuracy.
This RBTI equation reading is not something simple and easy. It
is being taught in nine seminars. We are covering a four year post-graduate course in 45 days. We advise anyone to spend at least three months (six months is better), between each course so that it can be thoroughly learned or mastered. Ever y rule must be memorized and
known as the multiplication table is known.
After working 38 years with this system in the three largest hospi-
tals in one of our larger cities in Florida, I was not found wrong one time in doing this work for the doctors. Even surgery was performed when all the instruments showed nothing was wrong and the RBTI test was proven correct each time. Sometimes surgery was performed, when I had given the instruction that the patient's energy was too low to stand the operation, and would die on the operating table. There was not one exception.
With the RBTI test we have located everything from brain tumors
to ingrown toenails without any physical examination other than the numbers, and later we did look at the blood vessels in the eyes to see if the body was cooperating.
I have challenged the scientists to prove this either to be accurate
or inaccurate. At this point no one has accepted the challenge. Some have used smear tactics, trying to destroy it rather than to prove it right or wrong.
I am willing to take any case, without seeing the person, or having
any case history, and in thirty minutes can tell by the numbers what the problem is.


isely.
Then may I ask You —does it at least get
any easie r? Oh, my darling friend —it is so much easier
for you now than it was three lifetimes  ago,
I can’t even tell you.
Yes, yes —it does get easier. The more you
remember, the more you are able to
experience, the more you know, so to
speak. And the more you know, the more
you remember. It is a circle. So yes, it gets
easier, it gets better, it becomes even more
joyful.
But remember, none of it has been exactly
a drudge. I mean, you’ve loved all of it!
Every last minute! Oh, it’s delicious, this
thing called life!  It’s a scrumptious
experience, no?
Well, yes, I suppose.
You suppose? How much more
scrumptious could I have made it? Are you not being allowed to experience
everything? The tears, the joy, the pain, the
gladness,  the exaltation, the massive
depression, t he win, the lose, the draw?
What more is  there?
A little less pain, perhaps.
Less pain without more wisdom defeats
your purpose; does not allow you to
experience infinite joy —which is What I
Am.
Be patient. You are gaining wisdom. And
your joys are now increasingly available
without pain. That, too, is a very good sign.
You are learning (remembering how) to
love without pain; to let go without pain; to
create without pain; to even cry without
pain. Yes, you’re even able to have your
pain without pain, if you know what I mean.  I think I do. I’m enjoying even my own life
dramas more. I can stand back and see
them for  what they are. Even laugh.
Exactly. And you don’t call this growth?
I suppose I do.
And so then, keep on growing, My son.
Keep on beco ming. And keep on deciding
what you want to become in the next
highest version of your Self. Keep on
working  toward that. Keep on! Keep on!
This is God Work we’re up to, you and I. So
keep  on!
  Chapter 10
I love You, You know that?
I know you do. And I love you.
  Chapter 11
I’d like to get back to my list of questions.
There’s so much more detail I want to go
into on every one of these. We could do a
whole book on relationships alone, and I
know that. But then I’d never get to my
other questions.
There’ ll be other times, other places. Even
other books. I’m with you. Let’s move on.
We’ll come back to it here if we have time.
Okay. My next question, then: Why can’t I
ever seem to attract enough money in my
life? Am I destined to be forever scrimping
and sc raping? What is blocking me from
realizing my full potential regarding
money?
The condition is manifested not just by you,
but by a great many people.  Everyone tells me it’s a problem of self -
worth, a lack of self -worth. I’ve had a dozen
New Age teachers t ell me that lack of
anything is always traceable to lack of self -
worth.
That is a convenient simplification. In this
case your teachers are wrong. You do not
suffer from a lack of self -worth. Indeed,
your greatest challenge all your life has
been to contro l your ego. Some have said
it’s been a case of too much self -worth!
Well, here I am, embarrassed and
chagrined again, but You are right.
You keep saying you’re embarrassed and
chagrined every time I simply tell the truth
about you. Embarrassment is the res ponse
of a person who still has an ego  investment
in how others see him. Invite yourself to move past that. Try a new  response. Try
laughter.
Okay.
Self-worth is not your problem. You are
blessed with an abundance of it. Most
people are. You all think very  highly of
yourself, as rightly you should. So self -
worth,  for the great mass of the people, is
not the problem.
What is?
The problem is lack of understanding of the
principles of abundance together,  usually,
with a massive misjudgment about what is
“good”  and what is “evil.”  Let Me give you
an example.
Please do.  You carry a thought around that money is
bad. You also carry a thought around that
God is good. Bless you! Therefore, in your
thought system, God and money do not
mix.
Well, in a sense, I guess, that’s true. That
is how I think.
This makes things interesting, because this
then makes it difficult for you to take  money
for any good thing.
I mean, if a thing is judged very “good” by
you, you value it less in terms of money.  So
the “better” som ething is (i.e., the more
worthwhile), the less money it’s worth.
You are not alone in this. Your whole
society believes this. So your teachers
make a  pittance and your stripteasers, a
fortune. Your leaders make so little compared to  sports figures that th ey feel
they have to steal to make up the
difference. Your  priests and your rabbis live
on bread and water while you throw coins
at entertainers.
Think about it. Everything on which you
place a high intrinsic value, you insist must
come cheaply. The lonely research
scientist seeking a cure for AIDS goes
begging  for money, while the woman who
writes a book on a hundred new ways to
have sex  and creates tapes and weekend
seminars to go with it...makes a fortune.
This having -it-all-backwards is a propensi ty
with you, and it stems from wrong  thought.
The wrong thought is your idea about
money. You love it, and yet you say it is the
root of all evil. You adore it, and yet you call it “filthy lucre.” You say that a person is
“filthy rich.” And if a person doe s become
wealthy doing “good” things, you
immediately become suspect. You make
that “wrong.”
So, a doctor had better not make too much
money, or had better learn to be discreet
about it. And a minister —whoa! She’d
really better not make lots of money
(assu ming you’ll even let a “she” be a
minister), or there’ll surely be trouble.
You see, in your mind, a person who
chooses the highest calling should get the
lowest pay....
Hmmm.
Yes, “hmmm” is right. You should think
about that. Because it is such wrong
thought. I thought there was no such thing as wrong
or right.
There isn’t. There is only what serves you,
and what does not. The terms “right” and
“wrong” are relative terms, and I use them
that way when I use them at all. In this
case, relative to what serves  you—relative
to what you say you want —your money
thoughts are wrong thoughts.
Remember, thoughts are creative. So if you
think money is bad, yet think yourself
good...well, you can see the conflict.
Now you, in particular, My son, act out this
race consci ousness in a very big way.  For
most people the conflict is not nearly so
enormous as for you. Most people do  what
they hate for a living, so they don’t mind
taking money for it. “Bad” for the  “bad,” so to speak. But you love what you do with the
days and t imes of your life.  You adore the
activities with which you cram them.
For you, therefore, to receive large
amounts of money for what you do would
be, in  your thought system, taking “bad” for
the “good” and that is unacceptable to you.
You’d rather starve t han take “filthy lucre”
for pure service...as if somehow the  service
loses its purity if you take money for it.
So here we have this real ambivalence
about money. Part of you rejects it, and part
of you resents not having it. Now, the
universe doesn’t know  what to do about
that, because the universe has received
two different thoughts from you. So your life
with regard to money is going to go in fits
and starts, because you keep going in fits
and starts about money.  You don’t have a clear focus; you’re not
really sure what’s true for you. And the
universe is just a big Xerox machine. It
simply produces multiple copies of your
thoughts.
Now there’s only one way to change all
that. You have to change your thought
about  it.
How can I change the way I

 by  evil spirits. If a member of the tribe falls ill, the shaman (the “medicine” man or woman) is expected to intercede with the spirit world to bring about a cure. Shamans often enter the spiritual realm with the aid of hallucinogenic plants or fungi, such as ayahuasca (Banisteriopsis caapi, p. 176), taken  by Amazonian shamans, or fly agaric (Amanita muscaria), taken by traditional healers of the Siberian steppes.  At the same time, the shaman provides medical treatment
for the physical needs of the patient—putting salves and compresses on wounds, boiling up decoctions and barks
for internal treatment, stimulating sweating for fevers, and so
Mistletoe, which the Druids called “golden bough,” had a central place in their

The Development of Medicinal Lore
It is generally recognized that our ancestors had a wide range
of medicinal plants at their disposal, and that they likewise
possessed a profound understanding of plants’ healing powers.
In fact, up until the 20th century, every village and rural
community had a wealth of herbal folklore. Tried and tested
local plants were picked for a range of common health
problems and taken as teas, applied as lotions, or even mixed
with lard and rubbed in as an ointment.
 But what were the origins of this herbal expertise? There
are no definitive answers. Clearly, acute observation coupled
with trial and error has played a predominant role. Human
societies have had many thousands of years to observe the
effects—both good and bad—of eating a particular root,
leaf, or berry. Watching the behavior of animals after they
have eaten or rubbed against certain plants has also added
to medicinal lore. If one watches sheep or cattle, they almost
unerringly steer a path past poisonous plants such as ragwort (Senecio jacobaea ) or oleander ( Nerium oleander ). Over and
above such close observation, some people have speculated
that human beings, like grazing animals, have an instinct that
recognizes poisonous as opposed to medicinal plants.
Ancient Civilizations
As civilizations grew from 3000 bce
onward in Egypt, the Middle East,
India, and China, so the use of
herbs became more sophisticated,
and the first written accounts of
medicinal plants were made. The
Egyptian Ebers papyrus of c. 1500
bce is the earliest surviving
example. It lists dozens of
medicinal plants, their uses, and
related spells and incantations. The
herbs include myrrh ( Commiphora molmol, p. 85), castor oil
(Ricinus communis, p. 262), and garlic ( Allium sativum, p. 59).
 In India, the Vedas, epic poems written c. 1500 bce, also
contain rich material on the herbal lore of that time. The
Vedas  were followed in about 400 bce by the Charaka Samhita,
written by the physician Charaka. This medical treatise
includes details of around 350 herbal medicines. Among
them are visnaga ( Ammi visnaga, p. 62), an herb of Middle
Eastern origin that has recently proven effective in the
treatment of asthma, and gotu kola ( Centella asiatica, p. 76),
which has long been used to treat leprosy.
Medicine Breaks from its
Mystical Origins
By about 500 bce in developed
cultures, medicine began to separate
from the magical and spiritual
world. Hippocrates (460–377 bce),
the Greek “father of medicine,”
considered illness to be a natural
rather than a supernatural
phenomenon, and he felt that
medicine should be given without
ritual ceremonies or magic.
 In the earliest Chinese medical
text, the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of
Internal Medicine  written in the 1st
century bce, the emphasis on rational
medicine is equally clear: “In treating
illness, it is necessary to examine
the entire context, scrutinize the Shiva, the Hindu god who oversees health, is traditionally thought to live under the bael tree,
an important medicinal plant in India.

Foundation of Major Herbal Traditions
300 bce–600 ce
Trade between Europe, the Middle East, India, and Asia was
already well under way by the 2nd century bce, and trade routes became established for many medicinal and culinary herbs. Cloves (Eugenia caryophyllata, p. 97), for example, which are native to the Philippines and the Molucca Islands near New Guinea, were imported into China in the 3rd century bce, and first arrived in Egypt around 176 ce. As the centuries passed, the popularity of cloves grew, and by the 8th century ce, their strong aromatic flavor and powerfully antiseptic and analgesic properties were familiar throughout most of Europe.
 As trade and interest in
herbal medicines and spices flourished, various writers tried to make systematic records of plants with a known medicinal action and record their properties. In China, the Divine
Husbandman’s Classic
(Shen’nong Bencaojing), written in the 1st century ce, has 364 entries, of which 252 are herbal medicines, including bupleurum ( Bupleurum
chinense, p. 72), coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara,
p. 278), and gan cao ( Glycyrrhiza uralensis). This Daoist text
laid the foundations for the continuous development
and refinement of Chinese herbal medicine up to the
present day. In Europe, a 1st-century ce Greek physician named Dioscorides wrote the first European herbal, De Materia Medica. His intention was to produce an accurate and authoritative work on herbal medicines, and in this he was dramatically successful. Among the many plants mentioned are juniper (Juniperus communis, p. 224), elm (Ulmus carpinifolia), peony (Paeonia officinalis, p. 243), and burdock (Arctium lappa, p. 65). The text, listing about 600 herbs in all, was to have
an astonishing influence on Western medicine, being the principal reference used in Europe until the 17th century.
It was translated into languages as varied as Anglo-Saxon, Persian, and Hebrew. In 512 ce, De Materia Medica became the first herbal to feature pictures of the plants discussed. Made for Juliana Arnicia, the daughter of the Roman emperor Flavius Avicius Olybrius, it contained nearly 400 full-page color illustrations. Galen (131–200 ce), physician to the Roman emperor
Marcus Aurelius, had an equally profound influence on the development of herbal medicine. Galen drew inspiration from Hippocrates and based his theories on the “theory  of the four humors” (see p. 32). His ideas shaped and, some would say, distorted medical practice for the next 1,400 years. In India and in China, elaborate medical systems somewhat resembling the theory of the four humors developed (see
pp. 36–38 and pp. 40–41 respectively) that have endured to the present day. Though European, Indian, and Chinese systems differ
widely, they all consider that imbalance within the constituent elements of the body is the cause of illness, and that the aim of the healer is to restore balance, often with the aid of herbal remedies.
Folk Healing in the Middle Ages
The theories of Galenic, Ayurvedic (Indian), and Chinese traditional medicine, however, would have meant practically nothing to most of the world’s population. As is still the case today for some indigenous peoples who have little access
to conventional medicines, in the past most villages and communities relied on the services of local “wise” men and women for medical treatment. These healers were almost certainly ignorant of the conventions of scholastic medicine, yet through apprenticeship and practice in treating illness, attending childbirth, and making use of locally growing herbs as a natural pharmacy, they developed a high level of practical medical knowledge. Galen’s “four humors,” which he believed
made up the human constitution.Frontispiece decoration for the first illustrated herbal, Dioscorides’ De Materia Medica, produced in Constantinople in 512 ce.

Liquidambar orientalis
(Hamamelidaceae)
Levant Storax
Description  Deciduous tree growing to 20 ft
(6 m). Has purplish-gray bark, lobed leaves, and
small single yellow-white flowers.
Habitat & Cultivation  Levant storax is
found in southwestern Turkey. Storax balsam,
a viscid gray-brown liquid, is extracted from the
bark, which is pried off the tree in autumn.
Part Used  Bark extract.Mixed with witch hazel ( Hamamelis virginiana,
p. 102) and rosewater ( Rosa species ), levant storax
makes an astringent face lotion. In China, storax
balsam is used to clear mucus congestion and to
relieve pain and constriction in the chest.
Related Species  American storax ( L. styraciflua ),
which grows mainly in Honduras but is also found
farther north, has been used since the time of the
Maya for its healing properties.
Lobaria pulmonaria
(stictaceae)
Tree Lungwort
Description  Gray or light green lichen with
forked irregular lobes measuring up to 5⁄8 in
(1.5 cm) across.
Habitat & Cultivation  Found throughout
Europe, tree lungwort grows on trees and rocks
in woodland areas. It is gathered year round.
Part Used  Lichen.
Constituents  Tree lungwort contains a variety
of plant acids (including stictic and sticinic acid),
fatty acids, mucilage, and tannins.
History & Folklore  Tree lungwort has been
used since ancient times as a remedy for lung
problems. The Italian physician and herbalist
Pierandrea Matteoli (1501–77) recommended it for
healing pulmonary ulcers and for treating blood-
flecked phlegm. It was also used to treat wounds,
heal ulcers, reduce excessive menstrual bleeding,
relieve dysentery, and halt “choleric vomiting.”
Medicinal Actions & Uses  A beneficial but
underused remedy, tree lungwort has expectorant
and tonic properties. It aids in clearing congested
mucus, reduces phlegm, and helps to increase the
appetite. In a decoction sweetened with honey, it
is appropriate for all conditions that are marked by
chronic respiratory infections, especially coughs
and bronchitis. The plant also treats asthma,
pleurisy, and emphysema. Being astringent and
demulcent, tree lungwort makes a useful
treatment for pulmonary ulcers as well as for a
variety of gastrointestinal problems. It is highly
suitable for treating ailments in children.Parts Used  Root.
Constituents  Lomatium contains flavonoids,
coumarins, tetronic acids, and volatile oil.
History & Folklore  One of the most
important medicinal plants of the Pacific
Northwest, lomatium was “big medicine” for
Native Americans and widely used for respiratory
infections such as coughs, colds, and flu. In Nevada,
lomatium root was combined with yarrow ( Achillea
millefolium, p. 56) to treat sexually transmitted
diseases. In Oregon, a decoction of the root was
applied to horses to rid them of ticks. During the
1917 influenza epidemic an American doctor,
Ernest Krebbs, successfully used lomatium in his
own practice, after noting the effective use of
the herb by Native Americans.
Medicinal Actions & Uses  Lomatium is
today used mostly by botanical practitioners in
North America to treat a broad range of viral
infections, from chronic fatigue syndrome to
influenza and herpes infections. A good tonic
herb, it promotes peripheral blood flow and
stimulates immune function. It is usually
combined with other herbs such as echinacea
(Echinacea spp., p. 92) or wild indigo root
(Baptisia tinctoria, p. 176).
Research  The tetronic acids have been shown to
be markedly antimicrobial and toxic to fish (Native
Americans used to place the fresh root in streams
or pools in order to stun fish). Preliminary studies
in Canada and the U.S. suggest that lomatium has
significant antiviral activity.
Cautions  A red measles-like rash, which
clears on stopping treatment, may develop
when taking lomatium. Like other members of
the carrot family, lomatium can increase sensitivity
to sunlight.
Levant storax  is used to relieve congestive chest problems.
Constituents  Levant storax contains cinnamic
acid, cinnamyl cinnamate, phenylpropyl cinnamate,
triterpene acids, and a volatile oil.
History & Folklore  Levant storax has been
the Liquidambar  species most commonly used
medicinally since the 19th century. Levant storax
is also employed as a fixative for perfumes.
Medicinal Actions & Uses  Levant storax
balsam acts as both an irritant and an expectorant
within the respiratory tract, and it is one of the
ingredients of Friar’s Balsam, an expectorant
mixture that is inhaled to stimulate a productive
cough. In addition, levant storax balsam is applied
externally to encourage the healing of skin diseases
and problems such as scabies, wounds, and ulcers. Lomatium dissectum (Apiaceae)

flowers from both species can be successfully
used to treat fever, colds, and upper respiratory tract infections. The leaves are traditionally used
as a gargle for sore throats and as a mouthwash.
In Chinese herbal medicine, honeysuckle finds frequent use in inflammatory conditions,


ous colitis. The chronic inflammation has
resulted in hardening and ulceration of the membrane of the colon. Severe ulcerative cases may
evolve out of acute colitis, but this is not the rule. Those who carry out the instructions given for
mucous colitis will not evolve ulcerative colitis.
In a syndicated newspaper article published Oct. 24, 1962, Walter C. Alvarez, M.D., whom I
have already quoted in this work, declared that chronic ulcerative colitis is “unfortunately … a
disease which we physicians do not understand well. We don’t know for sure what causes it.” He
explains that no germ or virus has been found that can be blamed as causing the often severe
diarrhea and says that some cases seem certain to start with a nervous cause, such as an unhappy
marriage. He adds that some physicians are sure that the disease begins and is kept going by “an
allergic sensitiveness to some food or foods.” Then he says: “However it starts, it often ends with
a bad ulceration of the inner lining of the large bowel.”
The patient develops fever, there is diarrhea with blood and pus in the
feces, and, eventually,
the colon shrinks and becomes deformed and shortened. In ulcerative colitis constipation
frequently alternates with diarrhea. This condition may evolve after years of suffering with chronic
colitis or it may evolve immediately after a severe acute inflammation of the colon.
In either case, it is correct to say that when colitis has passed through the successive stages of
irritation, inflammation, ulceration and induration, it is ready for the evolution of cancer, which
needs but the addition of a continuous bath of decomposition from excess and unsuitable food. It is
essential to understand that all chronic forms of inflammation begin with irritation, followed by
inflammation and ulceration. If the location favors stasis—stoppage of the blood flow—induration
and cancer follow. In its origin irritation is absolutely innocent of all taint of malignancy, hence
there is no reason why it cannot be remedied.
When ulcerative colitis is established cancer is not far away. Indeed, the objective symptoms of
cancer and ulcer are far from pathognomic—that is, undeniably proving the presence of either. But
there seems to be no reason to doubt that eating to the point of keeping the colon and rectum
saturated with putrefaction is the one and only way to complete the evolution of cancer of the
bowel. The beginning of the trouble is simply inflammation, which is absolutely innocent of all
taint of malignancy until the diseased membrane of the colon or rectum has been mascerated, so to
speak, in a continuous bath of decomposition.
The care of chronic inflammation of the colon and rectum should be successful at any stage
before the beginning of malignancy. After the malignant stage is reached, hope flies out the
window. This is to say, when colon disease has evolved through irritation, inflammation,
ulceration, and induration to cancer, any remaining possibility of recovery is wrecked by methods
of diagnosis and treatment that set up psychosis or mental depression as deadly as cancer itself.
Operation for cancer of the rectum or colon, making an artificial anus above the cancer, a
questionable palliation, creates a blind pouch out of the cancerous portion of the colon or rectum,
thus producing a miniature gehenna within the patient’s body.
118Alvarez says: “In a few cases, if no medical treatment helps, as the last resort the colon can be
removed surgically.” The drug treatment he describes is purely symptomatic: barbiturates to
enable the patient to sleep, copavin or codeine to “quiet” the bowels and “give rest,” extra fluids,
and “some iron” for his anemia. He recommends antibiotics and cortisone-like drugs for other
symptoms. One gets the idea that “treat the symptoms as they arise” is still
good medicine
.
Reverting to the article by Alvarez, he also says: “… The patient should be kept in bed a while,
on a liberal diet, and one tasty enough so
that he will eat it, and not leave it on his plate. He must
have enough food and vitamins so that he can keep up his nourishment.”
This is a slightly different way of expressing it, but what he says is only a restatement of the old
advice that the patient must “eat plenty of nourishing food to keep up his strength.” Eating prevents
the bowel from healing and keeps alive the disease process. If the fast were instituted at the outset
of the diarrhea, the formation of the ulceration could perhaps be avoided.
The remainder of the advice as to treatment which is given by Alvarez may prove enlightening.
He says: “He will probably need barbiturates so that he can sleep at night, and he should have
copavin, or codeine, to quiet his bowels and give him rest. He may need extra fluids, and he may
need some iron for his anemia. One authority on this disease, Dr. J. A. Bargen of the Scott & White
Clinic of Temple, Texas, gives an antibiotic, Azulfidine, which helps in some cases. Dr. Kirsner,
of the University of Chicago, Dr. Ingelfinger, of Boston, and other authorities get results in some
cases by giving cortisone-like drugs for a while. In a few cases, if no medical treatment helps, as a
last resort the colon can be removed surgically.”
Apparently from this, the authorities are floundering about, trying first one thing and then
another, hoping that something may prove to be of value. But without a knowledge of cause, there
is nothing constructive that they can do. To remove the colon as a last resort certainly does not
remove the cause of the suffering. It seems to be an open confession of failure.
It is essential to understand that irritation is absolutely innocent of the taint of malignancy, hence
there is no reason why it should not be remediable. Malignancy is the ending, not the beginning of
the pathological process. Those who carry out the instructions given for mucous colitis will not
evolve ulcerative colitis.

Psoriasis and Eczema
A college youth in his twenties—with all the high ambitions of the average young man—found
himself forced to face a situation apparently beyond help. His entire body, his limbs, his neck, his
face were covered with a mass of scaly eruptions. The scientific name for the skin trouble is
psoriasis. He had been afflicted for a number of years; his eye lids were covered
with eruption,
his fingers were covered, even his lips. He had tried all the usual “remedies,” without avail. X-
rays, salves, ointments, cortisone and other drugs had proved to be of only brief help if any at all.
The physician asserted, “We are doing everything we can. There simply isn’t a specific cure.”
Year after year, this patient with psoriasis was treated by skin specialists, otherwise called
dermatologists, and all their treatments led to nothing but more inflammation and disfigurement.
The patient turned at last to a wild non-medical question: Would fasting help? Investigating, he
was told: “It might.” As a result, the youth journeyed to an institution that cares for clients with
fasting and other nutritional measures.
He was placed upon a fast and given daily sun baths. Under such circumstances one may almost
watch the melting away of the skin disease and the restoration of a clean skin. Within weeks this
young man’s skin was clear. He could look in his mirror again; he could face the world happily.
The human skin, the largest organ of the body, ranks with the liver and the brain in the number
and versatility of its functions. A highly complex organ containing nerves, blood vessels, glands,
pigment cells and fat, this waterproof and gasproof structure invests the body like an envelope,
standing between the delicate inner organs and the external environment. It is the body’s radiator
and air conditioner, regulating through sweating, the temperature of the body, and in the same
process helping to maintain water balance in the body.
To a slight extent, it excretes waste. Its pigment protects against an excess of the sun’s rays.
Using the sun in the process, it manufactures vitamin D. It stores fat and blood, and is the largest
sense organ of the body, nerve endings in the skin enabling us to feel heat, cold, pressure, all the
sensations of finger-tip touch.
Commonly abused in a variety of ways, the skin is essentially a vital organ. It is subject to a
wide variety of
diseases
, the greater number of them being inflammations. Inflammation of the skin
is called
dermatitis
.
The skin is fed by the blood, not from any form of exterior feeding. There are no skin foods
other than the blood itself and all money spent for so-called “skin foods” is wasted. The skin as the
body’s protecting envelope, comes in contact with many outside substances and influences that are
harmful. It is damaged in a variety of ways. Fortunately its powers of self-repair are great, so that
few of these damages leave permanent marks. Most skin diseases are due to systemic causes. It is
these that should concern us most.
Dermatitis may appear in myriad forms, giving rise to diagnosis of the various forms of eczema,
psoriasis, dermatoses and a host of others. So far as the layman is concerned


 the
next chapter, the way in which th is transgression of natural law has
affected the human mind will be traced.

7. The Sources of Evil

It was earlier mentioned that human needs for protein are lower
than is usually stated, and that animal foods not only provide an
excess of protein, but introduce into the body economy unnatural
nitrogenous substances. It is a biological law that an animal can only deal efficiently with substan ces to which it has become adapted
in the course of its long evolution.  Changes in size and shape can be
brought about in a few generations, but functional changes require much more time. Recent estimates of the time necessary for evolving quite different metabo lic and enzymatic lines, such as
would be incurred in a radical change of diet, runs into many millions of years. In every function studied, man remains identical
to the higher primates, to the chimpanzee, the gorilla and the gibbon
in particular, which means that the nearly universal'mixed' type of
human feeding is an abnormality and is bound to cause some sort of functional trouble. The possible consequences to the body have been pointed out from time to time by medical men and other
scientists, but most people have cons idered the risks worth taking, if
indeed they have been willing to accept the evidence of bodily
damage at all. It is only recently that the effect on the mind has become more apparent. The price that has to be paid for such widescale dietary transgression seems truly enormous. As far back as 1931, Quastel and Wheatley had indicated that certain products
of protein digestion, especially  those resulting from bacterial
decomposition, possessed properties analogous to the most potent mind-affecting drugs such as mescalin, which might play a role in mental disturbances. At the time, this information was felt to be awkward, if not preposterous, possibly because it was felt unlikely
that such an important item of food could be incriminated in mental
disorder. Whatever the reason, it is only some forty years later that
the problem was reopened, when the role of the monoamines in brain functioning was discovered. Ketz distinguishes between the biogenic amines, manufactured by the brain tissues, responsible for
normal mental states, and a wide range of slightly altered
monoamines which could be responsible for more unusual states, like mystical ecstasy, hallucinati ons and 'high' dreams. Between
normality and psychosis, one might find a graduation of subtle alteration of the monoamine molecules.
Since mescalin was isolated in 1943, the biochemical
connection of the more elusive aspects of human experience, in
love, in the arts, in mystical a nd other states, has been apparent.
Evidently, nature has made use of  drug-like substances produced by
the brain itself, such as reserpine. This does not imply that the mind 'is nothing but a chemical brew', but it does indicate that even the
most elusive mental functions, such as the humanizing sensitivities,
have a biological basis, an indication which should be obvious enough if the universe is a consistent enterprise. Although engendered by brain cells, there is every indication that mental experience in itself is not a part of the physical and chemical order. But whatever the nature of the mind, it is undoubtedly very much
affected by biochemical events. There is a definite pharmacology of the soul.
The monoamines are products of protein metabolism, a fact
which makes the proteins as important to the mind as to the body. The finer aspects of protein metabolism are only now beginning to be unravelled. For too long it has been crudely assumed that brain and body can manufacture their protein needs from any kind of food protein, so long as the chemical building blocks are supplied. Very
slight changes in molecular structure, barely detectable by the
chemist, can have profound effect s on living functions, particularly
in such a precariously balanced one as the brain, with its billions upon billions of cells and interconnections. Ketz has suggested the
possibility 'that the different amines give some characteristics to the
newly synthetized proteins, impar ting a "colour code" of affective
qualities as it is being formed'. Very slight shifts from the normal might have enormous affectiv e, emotional, behavioural
consequences.
For every so called 'normal' protein that features in nutrition,
there may be millions of such mi nor abnormal molecular variations.
Although the body does possess an outstanding ability to select the protein ingredients it requires, this ability is only likely to refer to the ingredients which form part of the normal nutritional pattern, a pattern minutely and exactingly set by evolution. The possibility already referred to, of a wide conf usion regarding the 'normal' in
human nutrition, makes it possible that the human mind is exposed
to protein products which are in  various ways abnormal, with
possibly momentous effects on brain function.
The abnormal amines could be both manufactured in the body
during the metabolism of abnormal proteins, as well as by bacterial
action on protein wastes in the alimentary tract, especially in the
colon, on the nitrogenous products which have resisted absorption, usual in a'mixed' diet. It is here that one can make a clear distinction between foods of animal  origin, and of plant derivation.
Besides the large amounts of proteins in animal foods, there are a host of substances related to the amines, the purines and the
pyramidines, and those released by putrefactive changes. These
form what analysts term the extractives, consisting of the more easily hydrolyzable and soluble protein products, and therefore all the more easily absorbed. These are completely absent in fruits and
many vegetables, and only present in minor amounts in seeds and
nuts. However, some plant foods do contain significant amounts
also, as does cocoa, yeast extract, and many pulses.
On a diet of fruit and vegetables, low in protein, a fermentative
bacterial flora prevails, which is  biochemically the opposite of
putrefication, a living process in which yeasts are active, producing B vitamins and other substances usef ul to the body. Putrefaction is
rightly associated with death. On a'mixed' diet, not only is protein
usually in excess, but the vegetable fibres present hinder the digestion of protein, providing more wastes for the putrefactive bacteria in the colon. One must conclude that the diet of most humans, the world over, is particularly favourable for the
production and absorption of abnormal amines.
The normal monoamines would be presumably concerned in
initiating the humanizing predispositions, the aspirations to goodness and harmonious social relationships, to love, compassion
and co-operation, and the joys and ecstasies that go with their fulfilment. The more elusive, yet important pursuits of purity, of the
mystical and spiritual, are connected. The abnormal amines, on the
other hand, are disruptive rather than integrating, more likely to excite the lower, prehuman aspect of mind, normally quiescent but easily aroused, accounting for the mi schief and the insensitivity in
the human midst, and, when more severe, for the violence and hatred, the horrors and bestialities of existence.
To find such a biochemical basis to evil, in world-wide
aberrations of diet, must appear as the over simplification of an immensely complex problem. Certainly no two individuals are likely to react in the same way to the same abnormalizing conditions, and some people will be better equipped than others to
resist the inhuman tendencies, as some societies have been more
active than others in encouraging an acceptable level of human behaviour. But statistically, over sufficient time, abnormal effects on the mind will push behaviour toward s the inhuman and bestial. It
is not the rarer outburst of loving, the sudden craving for beauty and
purity, that count so much as the steady loading of thought, desire
and action in directions which are subtly not properly human, for ever waiting for the periodical occasions for more terrible venting, in the tragedies of individual exis tence as in the recurring crises of
human history.

8. Love, Lust and Aggression

The destructive anger and hatred of human beings serves no
biological purpose; on the contrary, they are a threat to human
survival. Although primates, and humans, are not territorial animals,
in the sense that the carnivores ar e territorial, they do resent
encroachment into their habitats. Gorillas can get very angry and
ferocious. It is evident therefore th at the capacity for anger has been
purposefully retained in the evoluti on of the primates, to meet threat
and challenge, even if their usua l and normal patterns of existence
are peaceful. As humans became hunt ers with the Ice Ages, they did
in fact acquire some of the territorial predispositions of carnivores
and hunting animals. This is unders tandable, for game is scarce at
the best of times, a given area only being able to provide a tenth or
less of game compared to vegetable foods. With this cortically
involved territorialism, there has arisen a capacity for exercising
anger, violence and ruthless-ness. Bu t this is not natural; it is purely
existential.
If the usual is confused for the normal, it is impossible to make

6. Vegetables
Cooked vegetables are nourishing, warming and easy to digest, they are
gentle on the gut lining and should be a regular part of the diet. You can
cook your vegetables by steaming, stir-frying, stewing, roasting, grilling or
as a soup. Instead of boiling vegetables I recommend steaming them as
boiling removes a lot of nutrients into the water which then gets thrown
away. The best vegetables to steam are broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels
sprouts, fresh green beans (runner beans, string beans, etc.) carrots,
asparagus, French artichokes and beetroot.
If diarrhoea is not present raw vegetables should also be a normal part of
every meal, they would provide a lot of active enzymes, which will help you
to digest your food. Carrots, cucumber, tomato, greens, cabbage, onion,
garlic, lettuce, baby spinach, celery, cauliflower can all be served as salads
or cut into rosettes and sticks to eat with a dip (mayonnaise, guacamole,
liver pate, aubergine dip, etc).
Sauerkraut
Sauerkraut is a fermented white and/or red cabbage, commonly con
sumed in Germany, Russia and Eastern Europe. It is a wonderful healing
remedy for the digestive tract full of digestive enzymes, probiotic bacteria,
vitamins and minerals. Eating it with meats will improve digestion as it has
a strong ability to stimulate stomach acid production. For people with low
stomach acidity I recommend having a few tablespoons of sauerkraut (or
juice from it) 10-15 minutes before meals. For children, initially add 1-3
tablespoons of the juice from the sauerkraut into their meals.
Slice thinly a medium-size white cabbage and add two shredded carrots.
You can use red cabbage or a mixture of white and red. Add salt to taste.
Knead the mixture well with your hands until a lot of juice comes out. Pack
this mixture into a suitable glass or stainless steel bowl, press it firmly so
there is no air trapped and the cabbage is drowned in its own juice. Place a
plate on top of the cabbage, which is about lcm smaller in diameter than
the bowl. The gap will allow the fermentation gases to escape. On top of the
plate place something heavy enough to keep the cabbage constantly sub
merged in its juice. Cover the whole thing with a kitchen towel to keep it in the dark. It should take 5-7 days inside the house for the sauerkraut to be
ready, (it will take two weeks in a cool place, like a garage). Sauerkraut is
delicious with any meal and it can be added to your homemade soups and
stews.
