Iceber ghead lettuce hasafewouter dark green leaves, which areusually discarded,
andtheblanched interiors areused, most ofitpale, almost white. Leaf lettuce orany
variety ofgardenlettuce isexcellent. Even iceber glettuce grown inhome gardens is
greener than that found in most stores, and all the outside leaves are used.
Select fresh looking lettuce with norusty orwilted leaves andwith aminimum of
damaged edges. Thesofter thelettuce, thesooner itshould beused. Buy butterhead or
leaflettuce forimmediate use. Romaine willstay crisp longer.Several varieties oflet-
tuce should beused, varying itfrom salad tosalad, toinsure more complete mineral in-
take. Lettuce should be used in generous quantities.
Mushrooms
Available allyear with apeak season from March through May andalow July
through September.Dr.Esser says thatmushrooms areindigestible andgenerally pass
through thedigestive system unchanged, andalthough fairly rich innutrients, little of
them areusable. Hesays thatmushrooms may beeaten, butthere aremany other true
foods which aremore deserving ofaplace onthemenu than thisedible fungus. Ifyou
usethem asanovelty,orforthetaste orflavor,select young (small tomedium) mush-
rooms. The caps should beclosed around thestem, andshould becream-colored or
white. Asthemushroom ages, thecappulls away from thestem. Avoid wide open caps
anddark “gills” (under thecap), those seriously pitted ordiscolored, andthose with a
spongy texture.
Okra
Peak season isJune through September.Okra isgrown andmarketed primarily in
thesouth. Small, young pods may beeaten raw,butsome people find them unpleasant
and“slimy.”Various methods ofcooking reduce orneutralize thesliminess, especially
bycombining with tomatoes. Select small, young green pods, freefrom blemishes andwith tipsthatbend with very slight pressure. They should beunder three inches long,
preferably smaller.Avoid pale pods andtough pods with stiffends. Asokra begins to
age, it turns yellow-white, then black.
Onions
Available allyear,peak May through August. Ordinary yellow globe onions, which
aremostly used forcooking, arequite uniform inquality.The outer,paper -like layers
arethinonfresh onions, thicker onthose from storage, butthere isn’tmuch difference
otherwise. White onions fallinto twocategories—grano, which areround andgranex,
which tend tobeflat.Ingeneral, thegranos arehotter than thegranex. ThelargerSpan-
ishonions (yellow orwhite-skinned) andBermuda onions (purplish red)aremilder and
somewhat sweeter than other varieties, andareoften used raw.However,aspreviously
indicated, raw onions are irritating because of their content of mustard oil.
Oyster plant: (See Salsify)
Parsley
Available allyear,slight peak October through December.Unless very young and
sweet, parsley contains anexcess ofoxalic acid. Itisusually asagarnish, butifyoung
andsweet, itshould beeaten since itisrichinnutrients. Select bright green, crisp leaves.
Parsnips
Peak season isOctober through April. This isreally awinter vegetable, butison
themarket throughout theyear,generally waxed. Idon’tbuywaxed parsnips, butwatch
fortheunwaxed ones. This vegetable isusually nottasty andtender enough tobeeaten
raw,unless very young. Select small ormedium-sized, well-shaped, firm parsnips, free
ofsurface blemishes. Avoid largeones which canbetough andwoody,andthose that
are flabby.
Peas (Fresh)
English green peas inthepodorblack-eyed peas inthepod. Peak season isMarch
through June. Small, young, fresh, bright green, recently harvested peas have thebest
andsweetest flavor.These will bedelicious inthenatural rawstate, straight from the
pod. Overripe peas have aflat,starchy taste, similar torawpeanuts. Select pods thatare
bright green andvelvety tothetouch. Besure tocheck toseeifthey snap open easily.
They should bewell-filled without being swollen. Black-eyed peas inthepodaresome-
times available, butarenotpopular because they arevery difficult tohull. Can beeaten
raw if young and fresh.
Edible podded peas (snow peas)
This isagourmet treat, somewhat expensive tobuy,butvery easy togrow inthe
garden. Usewhen justbarely mature—they arereally delicious. Select bright green, un-
blemished peas whose green color has not begun to fade.
Peppers, Sweet Bell (Green or Red) and Pimentos (red)
Peppers areavailable allyear,mostly green. Slight peak isJune through September.
Red sweet bellpeppers areavailable intermittently,pimentos rarely.Although most of
thesweet peppers onthemarket aregreen, those thatarefully ripe, andmuch sweeter
andmore flavorful, have abright redcolor.Buy sweet redbellpeppers forimmediate
usesince they deteriorate rapidly when red-ripe. Check carefully around thestem forsoftness andmold. Green peppers willkeep longer.Peppers arefrequently waxed. Pep-
pers andpimentos areexcellent salad vegetables andarehigh inVitamins AandC.Se-
lectfirm, bright, heavy,unblemished peppers with strong color andfull, plump shape.
Pimentos aresquat-shaped, andwhen fully ripe, areeven sweeter than riperedbellpep-
pers. Hot peppers, e.g., bananas, chili, jalapenos, are not recommended.
Potatoes
Available year round. “New” potatoes aresmall potatoes, freshly harvested andoften
notfully matured. Theouter skin isvery thin. Alittle peeling oftheskin isnormal and
does notaffectquality.New potatoes canbewhite orred(ordyed red). They arevery
tender,high insugar andlowinstarch, andspoil rather rapidly.“All-purpose” potatoes
areused invarious ways, while “baking” potatoes areconsidered most desirable forpro-
ducing thebest baked potato which isnotmealy ordry.Aspotatoes age, theskin be-
comes thicker,more wrinkled anddrier.Asmooth skin indicates afreshly-dug potato;
otherwise ithasbeen stored. Itisbest tobake oval, brown-skinned potatoes from stor-
age.
Look forfirm, solid potatoes with nogreen areas. Green areas mean thepotatoes
have been exposed tosunwhile growing, orexposed tolight toolong. These green spots,
aswell aspotato sprouts from the“eyes”, contain solanine alkaloids which cancause a
variety ofsymptoms, from mental confusion tocardiac depression. Ifthepotato hasvery
small green areas, they canbecutoff,butifthey arewidespread, thepotato willbebitter
(and toxic!) and should be discarded.
Aspreviously indicated, potatoes have sometimes been treated with sprout-retardant,
sotrytofindorganically-grown potatoes. Otherwise, dothebestyoucan, selecting your
potatoes inaccordance with instructions previously given earlier inthislesson. Itisbet-
tertobuy“dirty” potatoes; pre-washed ones have lostsome vitamins andabsorbed some
water.Besides, ifthey haven’ tbeen washed, they may nothave been treated with sprout
retardant.
Immature new potatoes from thehome garden areagourmet treat. White potatoes
are not suitable for eating raw; the starch should be dextrinized by heating.
Radishes, red or white
Available allyear,slight peak May through July.Unless young andsweet, radishes
contain enough sulphur (similar tomustard oil)toirritate thedigestive tract. Larger
radishes arepungent inflavor andcontain woody fiber which isdifficult todigest and
creates gas. When they aretoohottobeeaten entirely alone, itisbest toavoid them.
People, with impaired digestions should avoid radishes altogether.Ifyouusethem, se-
lectmedium-sized, firm radishes. Avoid large,flabby orspongy ones. Small redradishes
may be sharper than the medium-sized.
Rappini
Available intermittently.Similar tobroccoli, butmuch stronger inflavor.Itgrows in
long, slender stalks. W e prefer the milder flavor of broccoli.

TheFDA refuses torecognize tests conducted byDr.Patrick Riley ataLondon Med-
ical School, where it was shown that BHA, a widely used preservative, is carcinogenic.
This preservative appears inluncheon meats, such assalami, bologna, andpressed
ham, canned meats, peanut butter,canned chicken and other foods. Senator Alan
Cranston commented in1970 that“perhaps they (FDA) consider food processors’ inter-
ests more than people’ s interests.”

36.1. Introduction
Even though garlic oronions arenotprocessed oraltered, they areregarded asjunk
foods because they donotcontribute tothewelfare ofthebody when ingested. Onthe
contrary,they contribute todisease byadding toxins tothebody.Asyouwilllearn from
thislesson, there arenohealth benefits toreap from ingesting either ofthese foods. They
both contain toxic irritants which result inmuch harm when included inthedietand
should, therefore, never beconsumed. Theimportance ofthisstatement willbecome ev-
ident upon completion of this lesson.
36.2. History of Garlic
Garlic isahardy perennial bulb, native totheMediterranean region ofAfrica andEu-
rope. Itshistory dates back many centuries, anditwaslong used forrubbing thenew-
born infant’ s lips, and as a protection against disease by tying it around the throat.
Thesun, theCross, andgarlic aretheonly three things reputed toscare away vam-
pires. Both theancient Egyptians andGreeks regarded garlic ashaving supernatural
powers.
During the17th century,garlic wascredited with protecting many European house-
holds from theravages oftheGreat Plague. InNew England during Colonial times, gar-
liccloves were bound tothefeetofsmallpox victims. Cloves were also placed inthe
shoes ofwhooping cough sufferers. Forintestinal worms, rawgarlic juice ormilk which
hadbeen boiled with garlic wasoften drunk. Aclove ortwoofgarlic pounded with hon-
eyandtaken twoorthree nights successively,isgood forrheumatism, herbalist loretells
us.
During WorldWarI,garlic wasused asanantiseptic inhospitals. Pads ofsphagnum
moss were sterilized, saturated with water -diluted garlic juice, wrapped inthin cotton,
and applied as bandages to open wounds.
36.3. The Garlic Plant
36.3.1 Garlic’ s Pungent Flavor
36.3.2 An Antibacterial Agent
36.3.3 An Anthelmintic and Rubefacient
Thebotanical name forgarlic isAllium sativum. This hardy bulbous plant isamem-
berofthelilyfamily,which also includes leeks, chives, onions, andshallots. Like the
onion, theedible bulb oftheplant grows beneath theground. This compound bulb ismade upofseveral small sections orbulblets called “cloves” which areencased inthin
papery envelopes. The cloves areeaten andalso used forplanting. Farmers plant the
crop inearly spring andthebulbs mature early inthefall.Thebulbs are“cured” bydry-
inginthefield. Workers then braid thetops orremove them, andthegarlic isready for
market. Thebulbs areeither sold whole orground intopowder.Thejuice ofthegarlic
bulbs may also be extracted and sold.
36.3.1 Garlic’s Pungent Flavor
Garlic ismost often used toseason foods because ofitspungent flavor.Asubstance
in garlic, called allicin, is responsible for its flavor and odor.
36.3.2 An Antibacterial Agent
Allicin isanantibacterial agent andanextremely irritating liquid. Ithasadrug-like
property which, likeanyother drug, destroys life.Antibacterial agents killbacteria. Do
wewish tokillbacteria? Certainly not! Bacteria areessential components tolifeand
without them life would not continue.
Asstudents ofLife Science, youknow thatbacteria donotproduce disease butper-
form avery important function. These useful organisms come intoaction when thecell
hasfinished itslifecycle todecompose thedead cellandhelp toeliminate itfrom the
body.They also acttoclean uptoxic material which thebody eliminates. This iswhy
they are often seen during a disease process.
Bacterial action takes place inalldisease phenomena because these areprocesses re-
quiring thebreaking down ordisintegration ofaccumulated refuse andtoxic matter with-
inthebody,which thesystem isendeavoring tothrow off.Buttoassume, asmany med-
icalscientists do,thatmerely because thebacteria arepresent andactive inalldisease
phenomena, thatthey aretherefore thecause ofthese same diseases, isjustaswrong as
itwould betoassume thatbecause bacteria arepresent andactive inthedecomposition
process connected with alldead organic matter,they arethecause ofthedeath ofthe
organic matter in question. Bacteria are part of the results of the disease, not its cause.
Itdoes notmake sense toingest afood which would interfere with ordestroy this
important function within our body.
36.3.3 An Anthelmintic and Rubefacient
According toStedman’ sMedical Dictionary,thevolatile oilfrom thebulb orentire
plant ofgarlic isused asananthelmintic andrubefacient. These arebigwords, butwith
big ef fects. W e will take them one at a time.
Ananthelmintic isanagent thatdestroys orexpels intestinal worms. Now ifonesus-
pects thatheorshehasintestinal worms, onehadbetter look very closely athisorher
dietandlifestyle. And then run(don’ twalk) totheir nearest Hygienic practitioner and
goonalong fast! Taking ananthelmintic drug would notbetheanswer inanycase as
we cannot promote health by ingesting deadly poisons.
Any agent which issopoisonous astocause immediate death toanyother living or-
ganism should never beconsumed. Ifthisvolatile oil,which ispartofthegarlic plant,
issopowerful astoresult indeath ofinternal parasites andbacteria does itnotstand to
reason that it would also have a serious detrimental ef fect on the entire or ganism?
When anyfood isingested, itgoes through thesame process ofdigestion

Article #5: Dirt Cheap? Nonsense! It’s Vital to Garden
“As common asdirt!” “Dirt Cheap!” How many times have youheard those phrases?
How many times have youwatched anangry baseball manager bestow theultimate hu-
miliation upon a resolute umpire by kicking dust on his shoes?
Inplain fact, thepopular public image ofdirt-dust-earth-mud-soil remains largely
negative. Insharp contrast, allwho have hadmore than apassing interest inplanting
andnurturing trees, shrubs, andfood plants—centuries ofprofessional farmers tilling
millions ofrolling rural acres andurban pot-bound house plant enthusiasts alike—have
learned to place a high value on that vital, life-supporting medium, soil.
“Common?” Farfrom it!Itcanbeasvariable andcomplex aslifeitself. “Cheap?”
Hardly! Placed intheproper perspective ofmaterials most necessary tosurvival onthis
planet, soil becomes precious. Precious, yet misunderstood.
Soil isliving andconstantly changing material. Itactsasamedium tohold theraw
materials which trees andplants take upintotheir leaves andconvert intofood fortheir
usethrough aprocess called photosynthesis. Tofunction best, asoilshould bemade up
of45percent mineral particles from disintegrated rock such asbasalt, granite, sandstone
orlimestone; 5percent humus from decaying organic matter; 25percent water; 25per-
cent air; and a sprinkling of microscopic plant and animal life.
Ingeneral, basalt andgranite-derived soils areshallow andtend nottobeasrichas
soils from sandstone and limestone parentage.
Sandstone-based soils arelight, porous, have good aeration andareofmedium fertil-
ity.Soils from limestone arehigh inclay,therefore heavy,usually poor inwater andair
content butcanbefertile enough fortrees. Most essential elements arepresent inlarge
amounts in all soil, but the lack of one or more can result in poor tree and plant growth.
Theideal combination ofingredients intheright percentages occurs naturally inonly
a few fortunate places in the world.
Most people must start with thetype andquality ofsoilthatexists where they live. If
itneeds improvement they must gradually work with it,helping tomove itcloser tothe
ideal through the addition of sand, clay, or humus as individual conditions require.
Afairly deep hole dugintheyard, perhaps inpreparation forplanting atreeorshrub,
willreveal soillayers ofvarying thicknesses. These may benoted asavisible change in
color,structure ortexture. Theuppermost layer,thetopsoil, should break upeasily inthe
hand, yet feel slightly moist.
Topsoil does nothave tobeblack incolor tobeafertile medium forplants. Thecolor
aswell asthefertility ofasoilderives inpartfrom theparent rock material thatformed
thesoilandinpartfrom theclimate andother conditions under which ithasbeen exist-
ing for milleniums.
Below thetopsoil liesthefirstlayer ofsubsoil. Often thisisahard ledge ofmaterial
difficult tospade through. This accumulation ofvery fineiron particles orclay leached
through from thetopsoil above iscalled “hardpan” or“claypan.” TheNational Arborist
Association advises thatthisconcrete-like layer canbecome impervious tothepenetra-
tionofair,water,oreven treeroots tothenext layer ofsubsoil below,severely hamper-
ing normal, healthy tree development.Heavily traveled areas ofyard orgarden otherwise having good soiltexture may be-
come sufficiently trampled sothatthesoil’sstructure islostandairandwater spaces
arenotlargeenough forrootpenetration. This condition iscalled “compaction.” Simple
cultivation will resolve the problem.
Inthese days offast-rising developments andanew home construction apurchaser
may belucky orunlucky inwhat thedeveloper leaves himfortopsoil. Itcanrange from
richtopoor tonone! Inrarecases thetopsoil may becompletely,skimmed offtheprop-
erty,leaving theunsuspecting buthopeful gardener with asevere problem. Occasionally,
thetopsil may have been trucked infrom adistance andbefarricher than thetopsoil
natural to the immediate area.
Alltrees andshrubs, however,donotfindalltypes ofsoiltotheir liking, though one
might assume they would ifquoting the,linefrom Joyce Kilmer ’sclassic poem “Trees.”
“A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed against the earth’ s sweet flowing breast...”
But plants definitely do have preferences.
Toavoid anunhappy union consult anexpert, perhaps alocal arborist, whose knowl-
edge ofboth soilcharacteristics andindividual treeneeds willpermit himtorecommend
a variety of trees that will find your particular soil “sweet flowing.”

Article #6: Soil Test Secret To Success by Gene Austin
Thehome gardener orlandscaper isatadisadvantage unless heorshehas,literally,done
the groundwork.
That means fortifying andbuilding uptheplanting soilwith humus such ascompost
andpeat moss andwith theessential elements nitrogen, phosphorus andpotassium,
found in commercial fertilizers.
Butthelandscaper who wants togetthemost outofthose expensive trees andshrubs
alsowillinvestigate whether thesoilneeds treatment foralkalinity orexcess acidity—or
whether, in some cases, he needs new soil.
Those $2words, alkalinity andacidity,andtherelated symbol, pH(hydrogen ion
activity), place thisstory inperil ofsounding likeahigh-school chemistry course, so
“sweet” ishereby substituted foralkalinity,“sour” foracidity andpHisdiscarded, ex-
cept tonote thatsoilismeasured onapHscale andifyour soilscores 7onthatscale,

Many well-meaning gardeners apply regular doses ofground limestone—a sweeten-
er—to their lawns andgardens, inthebelief thatitwillimprove thesoil. Unless thesoil
isfairly sour,itactually may bedetrimental, since most plants grow best inaslightly
sour or neutral soil.
Asoiltestistheway outofthisdilemma, andisparticularly important where major
landscaping projects— such asanew lawn oralargevegetable orflower garden—are
contemplated. Inthecase ofthese bigprojects, bringing innew topsoil may bealot
cheaper and easier than attempting to improve poor soil with additives.
Complete soiltesting canbeado-it-yourself job.Kits areavailable forafewdollars
butgood ones areinthe$20to$50range. Theeasiest way istousetheexpert andinex-

Togetthemost outofsoiltesting, andremove much oftheelement ofchance from

den, asample from acouple ofpoints inthelawn, onefrom thearea where fruit trees are
grown, etc.Since testing isusually necessary only every four orfiveyears, thecost isa
real bar gain.

stitution where thefastcanbeprofessionally supervised byanexperienced practitioner

When Money Is a Matter of Concern
Ininstances where theclient iswilling tofastbutis,forthemoment atleast, finan-

pecially well with those clients who have hairandscalp disorders andespecially when
visible lesions arepresent. Photographs ofthesame may betaken attheonset ofthefast
and/orother services. When alllesions disappear,payment isdue. Such contracts, itgoes
without saying, are best drawn up by an attorney.The Fast and Apheresis
The medical community ismore andmore coming 10accept thefactthatatoxic
condition ofthebody cancause multitudinous numbers ofdiverse conditions according
toindividual tendencies asthey may occur inanyoneperson duetohispeculiar collec-
tionofweak andstrong parts, these varying bythevery nature ofhuman differentiation.
This iswhy apheresis, themechanical cleansing oftheblood, isbeing given serious at-
tention bytheAMA andinsurance companies who canvisualize averitable bonanza if
the practice becomes widely accepted.
Apheresis admittedly does “not cure disease, itsimply treats thesymptoms ofillness,
andithasn’ tbeen around long enough forscientists todetermine how effective itreally
is,”thisaccording toanarticle byEdward Edelson intheOctober 1982, issue ofScience
Magazine.
Inapheresis atechnician tapsintothepatient’ svein, and“blood flows intoamachine
where thespinning components settle intobands: theheavy redcells first, then thewhite
cells, then theplatelets thathelp blood toclot, andfinally theplasma andallthevaluable
proteins itcontains.” Components suspected of“harboring thedamaging substances as-
sociated with thepatient’ sillness arediscarded and, inthecase ofplasma, often replaced
with anequal amount ofsaline solution. The restoftheblood isthen returned tothe
body,” supposedly now in a pristine state.
Thetechnique hasbeen used with varying success insuch diseases asmacroglobu-
linemia, acondition inwhich certain plasma components have anunusually high mol-
ecular weight, forexample, asmuch as1,000,000 compared towater with amolecu-
larweight ofonly 18;multiple myeloma, aplastic anemia, systemic lupus erythemato-
sis,rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis andmyasthenia gravis, toname afew.There
have been successes andfailures, aswell asafewdeaths primarily because technicians
donotasyetknow justwhat toremove andwhat toputback! Inspite ofitsacknowl-
edged drawbacks, momentum seems tobeaccelerating foritsuseeven though aseries
of“treatments” cancost asmuch as$32,000.00, andeven more, depending upon the
number of “treatments” judged necessary in any particular instance.
Weareinclined tosuggest fasting asamuch simpler procedure, onemore inkeeping
with systemic reality,tosaynothing ofitsrelative cheapness andtheexactitude ofthe
process, carried outasitisunder thewatchful andprecise guidance ofthebody’ sown
intelligence, every move being dictated bythebody’ sprimary concern forperfect per-
formance onthepart ofallcells andsystems. Unlike manmade machines, thehuman
body does notmake errors. Wemake errors ineating andliving andinsodoing wemay
place impediments intheroad ofperfect performance buttheinner workings ofthebody,
the control mechanisms, always turn in a precise and perfect performance.
While medical science waits forcontrolled experiments togive astamp ofapproval
tothisnew medical marvel, fasting hasalready received itsaccolades from millions of
humans throughout allofhistory andinallcultures andbyother lesser animals who
have also benefitted bythecleansing itenables thebody torealize. Itislittle wonder
thatfasting issouniversally recognized asbeing thealmost perfect “cure.” However,let
uspoint outhere thatitsbenefits accrue best tothose persons who areemotionally and
mentally prepared andwilling tofast. Theresults tobeobserved even insevere disor-
ders of the hair and scalp are often no less than spectacular.
Following the First Fast
Ifthefirstfasthasbeen extended foraminimum oftendays, theclient should, after
theinitial recovery period, beimmediately placed onthefruitarian diet. This istheideal
time forhim toadopt aphysiologically sound way ofeating, theperfect diet, because
hissystem hasbeen cleansed ofitsformer burden oftoxic metabolic debris. Heshouldbeadvised thatthisistheway humans areintended toeatandthatheshould follow the
fruitarian, diet for a lifetime of health and superb wellness.
Less severe diseases ofthescalp andhairwilloften respond toshorter fasts, often
with thescalp becoming quite clean within amatter ofthree tofive days. However,
should these persons beimmediately placed onthefruitarian diet, itispossible forthem
tosufferhealing crises asthemorbid debris, now placed inastate offlux bytheshort
fast, continues to try to find its way to the exit points.
When such healing crises occur,clients often become discouraged because they find
thattheterrible itching, flaking, falling outofthehair,etc., allseem tointensify instead
ofimproving, asexpected: Atthisearly stage intheir education intheprinciples ofNat-
uralHygiene, they failtounderstand thatthisisanentirely normal happening, onethat
is fully in accord with responsive healing.
Withthose clients who elect tofastinitially forjustafewdays, itisoften advisable
tofollow thefirstfastbyintroducing aplanned graduated program, oneadjusted toindi-

How Exercise Helps to Nourish the Scalp and Hair
Have youever noted thebeautiful skin andhairofvery active, hard-working, healthy
people? This isbecause, when weexercise, theblood rushes tothesurface oftheskin
causing ittolake inmore oxygen andavailable nutrients and, inreturn, give offmore of
the body’ s morbific waste metabolites.
Also, exercise makes uswarm. Infact, thetemperature oftheskin may risefrom 86
to90andeven upto94while weareengaged inareally vigorous workout. InLesson 61

flect errors committed inliving physically,emotionally,morally andspiritually.Recog-
nition of these mistakes helps to discontinue them, preventing future disease.
Nature orGod provided usatbirth with sanctified temples occupied byoursouls,
minds andthoughts. Wemust notdefile these temples. Itisourinherent responsibility
toprovide theproper brick, mortar andwood (blood, bones, tissues) tomaintain thein-
tegrity andindissolubility ofthetemple. Toignore andrefute thelaws ofnature isto

Article #2: Heart Attack by Dr. Geo. E. Crandall
Inthepastyear,hundreds ofpeople inmiddle life,especially men, have been killed bya
heart attack. Atleast thisisthestatement appearing inourdaily press. Itcould notappear
onthedeath certificate asthecause ofdeath forthesimple reason thatthere isnosuch
thing asaheart attack. How they conjured upsuch amisnomer isbeyond comprehen-
sion. Itcomes from thesame imagination asthenonsensical terms: FIGHT CANCER;
FIGHT SYPHILIS; FIGHT PNEUMONIA andFIGHT TUBERCULOSIS! These false
slogans impress theuninformed andmisinformed andthey arescary enough tomake
Congress shell out the almighty lucre without a dissenting vote.
Youcan’tFIGHT cancer forthesimple reason thatthecause isnotknown, yea, not
even suspected. Thesame holds trueforsyphilis, pneumonia andtuberculosis, thevic-
tims ofthese afflictions canonly wrestle orfight with themselves togain self-mastery.
Thebattle isinherent and, ifwon, intelligent self-control willeradicate every so-called
disease! This battle doesn’ tcost adime, sowhat becomes ofalltheenormous sums of
money allotted bythefederal, state andmunicipal governments forthe“FIGHT” racket?
If the truth were known you would be surprised.
Theheart ofaman receives great protection from attack bytheencasement formed
bythethoracic wall. Except forthevery small intercostal spaces orinterstices between
theribs, itissecurely protected byanarmour ofbone. From external sources itisnearly
immune from attack except from abullet orstabwound. However,intheso-called heart
attacks, these tworemote possibilities arenotthecause; theattack, ifthere isone, must
come from within. Can theindividual attack hisown heart? The answer isYES. Not
directly inwhat iscommonly spoken ofasanattack orassault, butindirectly byathou-
sand and one subtle forms of over -stimulation.
The toxic effect ofindigestion from overeating isthefirst great case, andthisis
ably aided andabetted bytobacco andalcohol, thisisatrinity,friends, thatisacon-
stant attack upon theheart. Intime itwillruinanyheart, nomatter how strong. Noheart
canwithstand itsonslaught much beyond 63years, andmany aretaken bytheLord
much younger.Everyone could postpone hisorherdeath 30years byovercoming all
bad habits through self-mastery.
Anormal lifeistheonly protection onehasfrom these so-called heart attacks. Anin-
dividual must ruinhisheart byyears ofabuse from badhabits before theattack isturned
on that ends the career.
Inasmuch asthere isnosatisfactory treatment foraheart attack known tomedical
science, andoften notenough time toapply even anunsatisfactory effort, itbehooves all
ofustoplay thegame oflifesafely bygiving upourbadhabits andgetting intune with
natural lawandtheuniverse. Youcan’tbea“natural outlaw” formany years until the
heart gives out;andthen comes theinevitable newspaper recital...heart attack andthe
mortician!
About 50% ofthepeople donotknow how toreform andlivenormally,andtheother
50% prefer to cling tenaciously to their so-called “pleasures of life.”
Anormal heart beats 103,680 times aday.Think oftheenormous amount ofvital
energy needed tocarry onthiswork alone. Why should anyone wish tosquander thisvital energy infoolish, nonsensical, over-stimulating habits? Why whip theheart thatis
willing andready tobeat 103,680 times daily,without rest, for100years? Ifyoutreat
thismagnificent organdecently,there willnever beaso-called “attack.” Youaretheon-
ly one to blame, and the attack, if there is one, is from within, never from without!
Should onedrug thisorganwith digitalis, strychnine andother heart stimulants, or
paralyze itwith morphine orother narcotics? Should aphysician jeopardize your lifeby
suggesting oradvising it?That heart ofyours willpump 3,784,320,000 times without a
miss if you will, by correct living, give it a chance.
The greatest enemy toanormal heart isperverted nutrition, orwhat iscommonly
referred toasindigestion. Thecause ofindigestion primarily isovereating ofstaple and
chemically incompatible foods. This isfurther augmented bytheuseoftobacco, alcohol,
teaandcoffee.Correct theperverted nutrition byfollowing therules. Overcome allbad
habits justmentioned andyouhave removed from your lifethecause ofaheart attack.
Ifyoudon’thave agood heart inthisworld, what chance doyouhave inthenext? If
youwant toinherit thekingdom, play fair.Itcannot byaccomplished byfooling yourself
with overstimulation... the advice of the cler gy to the contrary notwithstanding.
Ofallanimals, man istheonly oneendowed with intelligence. Theothers allhave
todepend oninstinct. However,noother animal butman suffersfrom so-called heart
attacks and dies in middle life.
Why should intelligence beinferior toinstinct? Tothequestion, there isbutonean-
swer,namely,thatwhoever isguiding usalong thelines ofhealth isgiving userroneous
advice andfalse statements. Dodoctors want ustohave knowledge thatwillinsure grand
health, thereby making their ministrations unnecessary? Isn’tittotheir distinct advan-
tage togive uswrong advice sowewillneed their services forailments built from in-
correct living?
Youcanovercome allyour badhabits ifthey interfere with health, butfrom whom
canyoulearn about thelaws ofnutrition? Man’ sphysical salvation depends ondemand-
ingthisknowledge andreceiving it.Drugs, serums andsurgery arenow masquerading
asasubstitute, butthey areafalse prophet andfailtobring usrational health knowl-
edge. Toovercome disease andprevent sudden heart attacks, wemust learn how toget
back tothenormal andlivecorrectly.Youshould become a“natural Methodist” andlive
acentury; three score andtenarenotsufficient. They lived thatlong twothousand years
agowhen themind ofman wasinincubation. Why haven’ twemade anyimprovement
orprogress since? Because man hasbelieved indemonology—that disease isadispen-
sation ofdivine origin and“men ofmedicine” have fooled away 2000 years trying to
outwit thedeity with pills, potions andpalaver instead ofrecognizing thatdisease, heart
attacks, andpremature senility,aremerely states ofperverted nutrition caused byanin-
correct method ofliving. Athorough understanding ofhuman nutrition andthelaws that
govern itwillallow man tolivesixmore score years andcarry outthepromise ofthe
scripture as found in Genesis 6:3.

86.4.4 The Pill Store
Have youbeen inside atypical ‘“health food” store lately? You’ll probably seevery
little “food”’ orindeed even “health,” butyou’ll certainly getaneyeful ofbottle after
bottle of vitamins, minerals, supplements, and other exotic potions.
And that’snotloosurprising atall,especially when youconsider that40to50% of
a health food store’ s profits comes from the sale of supplements.
“Vitamins, minerals andother dietsupplements aremybread andbutter,anowner of
asmall health food store confided tome.“Icanmark upeach bottle about 250to300%over what Ipayforit.They have anindefinite shelf life;they can’tgobadlikeproduce,

“Ican’treally prescribe these pills andsupplements tomycustomers—that’ sagainst

Thesupplement market operates onatremendous profit marginandmarkup. Thein-

86.5. The Only Safe Source Of Nutrients
86.5.1 One-a-Day Multiple V itamins and Other Lies
86.5.2 Safety in Nature
Dr.Herbert M.Shelton hasstudied theeffects offood andnutrition onhuman health
longer than almost anyone else intheworld today.Hehaslong detailed thedangers
ofdepending upon supplements, pills, andpowders foradequate nutrition. When asked
about theuseofnutritional supplements inthediet, Dr.Shelton replied with thislistof
four important facts:
1.We do not yet know how much of any food element the body needs.
2.Wedonotyetknow alloftheelements thatarestructural andfunctional constituents of
the human body.
3.We do not know that all of the vitamins have been discovered.
4.Wedonotknow thatthere arenoother andhitherto unsuspected food factors infoods
that are as essential as those that are known.”
Since ourknowledge ofnutriton cannever becomplete, itisimpossible toconstruct
apillorsupplement thatcanmost assuredly supply uswith allofourneeds. “These
things being so,” writes Dr.Shelton, “there canbeonly onesafe source ofnutriment,
andonly onesource thatiscapable ofsupplying uswith allknown andunknown food
elements. This sour ce is natural foods.”
There cannever beapillorsupplement thatwillfurnish ahuman being with allof
thenutritional elements required forsuperior health. Ourphysiology hasdeveloped over
hundreds ofthousands ofyears onfresh, wholesome fruits andvegetables. Our entiresystem isgeared toward extracting elements oflifefrom plant foods alone. Wecannot
survive on pills; we cannot thrive on supplements.
We require and need only fresh foods from the plant kingdom and nothing else.
86.5.1 One-a-Day Multiple Vitamins and Other Lies
Still, there arepeople who arefascinated bypills. “Just tobesafe,” such aperson
says, “Ialways take agood, all-around multiple vitamin andmineral tablet.” “Just tobe
we,” such aperson willsay,“Iswallow atablespoonful firon supplement each morn-
ing.”
These people arenotbuying good nutrition; they areseeking peace ofmind inapill
ortablet. Yetifthey knew thatthey were swallowing liesalong with thepills, they might
seek peace ofmind elsewhere. Consider thisnewspaper report which appeared only this
month: “Survey Finds Multivitamins Dangerous.”
Inasurvey ofthe41most commonly-purchased multi-vitamin pills, itwasdiscov-
ered thatmany ofthem contain either danger ously high orinadequate doses ofvitamins
andminerals. According toaclinical nutrition researcher,“Most vitamin supplements
welooked atexceeded the200percent mark fortheRecommended Daily Allowance,
which makes thevitamins perhaps dangerous.” Theresearcher further stated thatthese
supplements often contain excessive amounts offat-soluble vitamins such asA,D,E,
andKwhich canbeharmful since these vitamins arestoredinthebody when taken in
amounts greater than the body’ s needs.
There have been many cases where people were found suffering from vitamin toxi-
cosis duetotheabnormally largeamounts they were taking andretaining through sup-
plements andpills. Well,what about wholesome foods such ascarrots, melons, etc., that
arenaturally high invitamins; Does thismean thatwecangettoomany vitamins from
these natural sources?
86.5.2 Safety in Nature
Ifyouareeating fresh foods intheir natural state, youcannot overdose onvitamins.
Why isthis? Foronething, thesheer bulk ofthefood alone prevents youfrom eating
amounts thatwould contain excessive vitamins. Ofcourse ifyoujuice allofyour foods
anddrink quarts ofcarrot juice every day,then itmight bepossible togettoomany nat-
ural vitamins. Yeteven inthese circumstances, there arebuilt-in safeguards innatural
foods.
Forexample, thevitamin Ainplant foods comes from acompound called carotene.
Thecarotene inthese vegetable foods isconverted toaform ofvitamin Aintheliver
only ifthereisaneed forthevitamin inthebody.Inother words, ifyouateabout ten
largecarrots, youcould potentially beingesting around 100,000 units ofvitamin A.Yet
ifyour body only needed say20,000 units ofvitamin A,then thecarotene conversion to
vitamin A would not occur for the other potential 80,000 vitamin A units.
Thebody hasaninnate wisdom andknowledge ofitstrueneeds. Aslong aswesup-
plythebody with itsnatural food andfuel, weneed notfeartheconsequences. Any time
vital elements areextracted from ourfoods andpackaged asconcentrated supplements
andpills, then wearetaking serious chances with ourhealth. Noscientist, nochemist,
nonutritionist hasthetype ofknowledge thatthebody possesses. Nolaboratory can
duplicate thewonderous processes ofthehuman body.Noexperiment canreplicate the
intricate lifeprocesses thatoccur during food digestion andassimilation. Nopillorsup-
plement can ever be labeled completely safe.
There isonly onesafesource forournutritional needs: fresh, wholesome foods from
the plant kingdom. All else is suspect and should be rigorously avoided.86.6. Questions & Answers
Irecently heard that theonly way youcanmeet your recommended daily amounts

What isdesignated body mechanics hasreference tothemechanical correlation of
thevarious systems ofthebody,especially inreference totheskeletal, muscular andvis-
ceral systems andtheir nerve supply.When themechanical correlations ofthebody are
most favorable tothefunction ofitsvarious parts, thisisdesignated normal body me-chanics. Any lack ofcorrelation inanyofitsparts thathampers, orimpedes anyofits
functions represents a deviation from the norm or ideal.
Many deviations from normal mechanical correlation inthebody result invisceral
malpositions andinstrain, thus resulting, notindisease, butingeneral impairment and
enervation. Tosecure thebest results infunction inthebody,allofitsstructures must
beproperly aligned andcorrelated. Those parts thataremalaligned areunder stress and
strain at all times, hence wear down more rapidly than do properly aligned parts.
Dr.Skarstrom says, “Erect carriage, easy poise andfinebearing, when habitual, sig-
nify perfect adjustment, weight distribution andbalance ofthedifferent parts ofthe
body.They represent economical distribution ofmuscular tension, ahigh degree and
even balance ofmuscular tone, equalized pressure onthesurfaces ofjoints andmini-
mum tension ontheir fibrous structures. Allthisimplies readiness forallkinds ofaction,
elimination of unnecessary strain, conservation of ener gy.
Good posture also means themost favorable conditions fortheinternal organs as
regards room, freecirculation, relative position andnatural support. Thus itmakes for
health and ef ficiency, as well as beauty and harmony.
...Theprecise degree towhich faulty posture interferes with normal body function
isnoteasily measured. There is,however,considerable evidence which shows thatthe
stresses andstrains produced byfaulty posture, especially those assumed andsustained
inwork, areresponsible formuch pain, including “referred pains” andeven functional
visceral impairments. Ours isadayofstooped shoulders, relaxed abdominal walls and
sagging viscera.
Lordosis ofthelower spinal column isaccompanied bykyphosis intheupper back
andlordosis oftheneck, theupper curves being compensatory.Changes inthecurves of
thespinal column result inchanges intheattached structures thus throwing strain upon
thesupporting ligaments malpositions andsometimes crowding oftheviscera, circula-
tory impediments, perhaps even nerve irritation from pressure.
Lordosis causes aforward tilting ofthepelvis thus forcing theabdominal viscera
against thefront wall oftheabdomen, themuscles ofwhich become stretched andthis
under constant pressure. Theattachments ofthemesentery tothelumbar spine arealso
lowered bylordosis sothattheintestines andother supported structures arepermitted to
sagandassume lower positions intheabdominal cavity.There isevidence thattheliver
may rotate forward andtotheright thus stretching thecommon bile duct andperhaps,
insome cases seriously interfering with bileflow.Ptosis ofthekidneys, especially of
theleftkidney results intraction ontherenal veins. Thepelvic organs arealsoinvolved
inthegeneral visceroptosis thatresults from faulty posture. Theovaries areptosed, the
uterus becomes malposed duetotheweight ofthesagging abdominal viscera resting
upon it,varicose veins ofthelower bowel andvarious impairments ofthereproductive
system arepossible results oftheimpeded venous flow.Therelaxation oftheabdominal
wall andthecrowding oftheabdominal organs inthelower abdomen andpelvis permits
anincrease ofblood inthevenous reservoirs oftheabdomen, thus diminishing theblood
volume. This pelvic andabdominal engor gement may also contribute totumor forma-
tion.
Disturbed lateral (side) balance ofthespinal column gives usunequal shoulders (one
shouder islower than theother), aneck thatangles inonedirection oranother above the
shoulders orahead which issetcrooked ontheneck. Such defects ofposture andevi-
dences ofpoor body contour may result from atilted pelvis, onelegbeing shorter than
the other, or from habit.
...Proper posture isanormal by-product ofhealthful living andproper body activity.
Nearly alloftheactivities ofcivilized lifeencourage theforward position ofthehead,
arms andshoulders. There isadrooping orforward position ofthehead, aforward dis-
placement oftheshoulder girdle andmore orlessdepression ofthechest. This isnotdue
toanyinherent inability ofthespine andassociated structures tomaintain theupright
position. One writer says, “Itisnotcorrect tosaythatspines arenotperfectly adapted totheupright posture; itwould bemore accurate tosaythathuman spines were notevolved
towithstand themonotonous andtrying posture entailed bymodern education andby
many modern industries.”
...The physical factors which determine posture are(1)thesize andshape ofthe
bones andtheir articular surfaces; (2)therelative length andtension ofopposing mus-
cles and fibrous structures; (3) the degree of localized muscular control.
Therelative sizeorshape ofribs, clavicles, scapulae, andvertebrae, asindicated by
thegeneral configuration ofthechest, shoulder andback, islargely amatter ofnutrition
and“heredity.”However,their sizes areinfluenced tosome degree bytheuseofthese
parts, especially during thegrowing period; for,useorexercise notonly influences the
sizeandform ofthebones directly,through thedemand made upon these bystress and
pressure, butalso, indirectly,through theconstant tension onthebony segments from
theresulting muscular tone. Ihave observed thatwell-nourished children arestraight
postured while malnourished children tend tolettheir shoulders andhead droop andsag.
I do not doubt that malnutrition is one of the chief causes of early faulty posture.

Article #4: Correcting Sensitivity to Light by Edwin Flatto, N.D., D.O.
Nature hasdesigned ourbodies sothatmuscles notinusewillatrophy.Muscles thatare
constantly used will become stronger.
Themechanism oftheeyewhich controls dilatation andcontraction ofthepupils is
anautomatic one. Those individuals who have developed asensitivity tolight should
practice the following:
1.Forget to wear your sunglasses more often until you have found you don’ t need them.
2.Throw away theVenetian blinds, make dresses andtablecloths from your drapes, and
take advantage of the natural sunlight in your home.
3.Trytodoasmuch reading innatural light aspossible. Ifthesunistoostrong, cover the
bottom half ofthebook with ablack paper orcloth toavoid reflected glare from the
printed page.
4.The following exercises are also recommended:
1.Stand inadark room andswitch a100-watt light bulb onandoffatintervals oftensec-
onds.
2.While standing indaylight (preferably before 10a.m. orafter 4p.m. when thesunisat
aslant) face direction ofthesunandrotate thehead from side toside, constantly blink-
ing,andnever looking directly atthesun. Trythisexercise fornomore than three min-
utesintheafternoon. Astheeyemuscles increase instrength, progressively increase the
amount oftime Until sixminutes have been reached both morning andnight. The ex-
ercise isnotrecommended formore than sixminutes, twice aday.Itisvery important
never tolook directly atthesun, andshould discomfort beexperienced, thetime period
should becutdown. (Staring intothesunorstaring atbright sources oflight produces
strain andshould beavoided. Invarious eyediseases, such asglaucoma, detachment of
theretina, iritis, itisadvisable toabstain from sunning theeyes.) This exercise should
beperformed under thesupervision ofaqualified practitioner experienced inthistype
of therapy.
Asanother strengthening exercise fortheeyes, face thesunwith theeyes closed and
slowly rotate thehead from sidetoside. Thewarm, penetrating, andrelaxing rays ofthe
sunwill strengthen andsoothe themuscles oftheeyes. This sunning oftheeyes will
alsobenefit upper andlower eyelids. Itwillalsohelp overcome (inconjunction with di-
etary andsystemic measures) sties, conjunctivitis, andblepharitis (inflammation ofthe
eyelids—the authors).

, and thus the seed of liberation from a directed and focused
consciousness is implicit in each of us. W e can, in ef fect, become anything,do anything, since behind our focused awareness lies a universal and
omniscient mind. The seed of all possibilities lies within us.

Short arm needs man to reach to Heaven
So ready is Heaven to stoop to him.
— FRANCIS THOMPSON

The metaphysical aspects of the relationship of universal mind with your
own surface mind must be grasped in some manner before it is possible to
free yourself from bondage to sensual reaction and slavery to circumstance.
It is perfectly all right to admonish a suf ferer from circumstance to think
positively, but all too often they have not the resources within them to
accomplish this, any more than they are able to take arms against the
physical events that attack them. It takes a wealth of spiritual resource to
produce the courage necessary to free the soul from bondage to the surface
self. And it takes a heap of courage to sustain one on that leap into the void
of absolute freedom that comes with complete reliance on the Secret Self.
Generally speaking, motives of monetary gain or personal ascendancy are
simply not suf ficient to produce the drive necessary to promote unity
between the Secret Self and the surface nature. When we desire things
through selfish motives we narrow our perceptual horizons to where it is
impossible for us to glimpse the vast and powerful being that dwells within
us. W e can be beaten into complete submission, into abject humility, but
such cessation of the ur gings of the ego is all too often temporary, and when
the equilibrium of our lives has been restored, then the ego gathers new
strength, reconsiders its abdication, once again takes over the life to the
sorrow of the person within. The only true and lasting conversion to unity
with the Secret Self comes from possessing the facts of the mental and
spiritual world we inhabit, so that all mind is seen one mind, all spirit one
spirit, all persons one person, and such perception is not accepted on faith
or belief but from a clear perception of the facts as they exist, onindisputable and irrevocable proof. Only mental understanding through
increased awareness can accomplish this.

The Eternal Thinker

Life for each of us is exactly as we construe it to be, and this is the mental
law under which we live. Similarly, all notions of theology and metaphysics
are, for each of us, exactly as we construe them to be, for the ideas that take
root in our consciousness determine the scope and limitation of our
consciousness. In short, God is as we fancy Him to be, and we have only to
change our notion of Him in order to change Him. He is idea only because
He is mind, and that idea which is the lar gest, the most perfect, most
workable, clearest, is therefore the nearest approximation of the Godhead.
Our illness is caused by the little way we are able to see, and only as we
enlar ge our vision, push back our horizons, are we cured.
The metaphysic upon which this book is based is this: There is an eternal
thinker eternally thinking, and each thought the thinker thinks appears to be
separate from the thinker, but it is not; it represents the thinker only, but not
entirely, and insofar as the thought exists at all it is the thinker, though not
completely. The thinker is God, the thought is the person, and God has
absorbed Himself in the thought but is not bound by this absorption, and
may liberate Himself at any time by expanding his awareness. As long as
we are absorbed in the ego, we are absorbed in the thought and remain the
thought, are bound by the idea that actuated us in the first place, but when
we lay aside our absorption in the ego, then our entrancement has begun to
shatter, and we are beginning to recognize ourselves as God. As soon as we
make any approximation of this psychic position whatever, we have arrived
at a place where we can change the idea that actuated our ego in the first
place, where we can make ourselves into entirely dif ferent people simply by
being able to accept an entirely new and dif ferent idea about ourselves.We must penetrate the apparent duality of life before we are able to clearly
understand our oneness with the Secret Self. There are not many dif ferent
natures and beings at work in the world; only one. All are dif ferent aspects
of this one being. In each is enclosed that amount of consciousness that
determines the form of the thing, but the consciousness enclosed is still the
consciousness of the Secret Self, limited and apparently separated because
it is absorbed in the thing it has become. And this absorption, this
limitation, is what we know as surface self, as ego, and it is the veil that
separates us from knowledge of our vaster nature and true being. T o get rid
of ego then is the thing to be done. T o subordinate it to the Secret Self, to
place it in proper psychic position to its master and director, and above all
to recognize it as primarily illusion, a changing thing, a temporary cloud
that stands between us and pure and complete unity with the Divine, these
are the steps novitiates must take before their works in the world are
marked by power and ef fectiveness.

Conditioning Consciousness

All lack, limitation, and malfunction that touches our lives is carried in our
minds, is literally created there because it is a product of our limited and
ego-centered consciousness. W e stumble because we do not see, and this
condition of not-seeing places the obstacle in our path. The English utopian
philosopher Edward Carpenter stated, “It should be as easy to expel an
obnoxious thought out of your mind as to shake a stone out of your shoe,”
but, alas, it is not so. The obnoxious thought is not a thing of itself, but
rather the lack of a thing. Negative conditions are imperfect perceptions. It
is when we are not able to perceive that we falter. You simply cannot turn
your mind upside down and shake out something that is not there in the first
place. The reason the obnoxious thought exists is because the consciousness
is too small and simply does not see. The remedy, rather than trying to cast
out something that is not truly there, is to expand consciousness until it can
be seen that lack and limitation and malfunction only exist by virtue of
imperfect mental perception. This is why there is such a great deal of failureon the part of persons who try to create positive conditions in their lives by
thinking positively. Usually such positive thoughts center around money,
health, love, security, inner peace. People who live in a constant state of
apprehension are told that all they have to do to develop courage is to tell
themselves that they are brave. Still, no lionhearted warrior, they. All
positive statements to themselves avail nothing, and they are left just as
cringing and tension-filled after their self-treatments as before, perhaps
more so, for now even the little confidence they once had has been stripped
away.
It is simply no good telling yourself that something is white when your eyes
tell you that it is black. In or der for that something to become white it must
appear white, and the only way it will appear white is for you to be able, by
psychic development, to penetrate the illusion of its blackness. Fear is not
inher ent in cir cumstance; it is inher ent in our r eaction to cir cumstance. If
we wish to conquer fear, we must develop such knowledge and per ception
as enable us to see contr ol and safety in those situations we formerly found
threatening. Ther e is nothing wr ong with being afraid of a lion. But if we
wish to conquer that fear we ar e going about it the wr ong way when we try
to hide the fear fr om ourselves and step out to meet the lion in ignorance,
thereby pr oviding the beast a tasty meal. The only way to conquer fear of
lions is to learn to handle lions. Once we have learned contr ol, we step out
to meet the lion in perfect safety.

It is not strength, but art obtains the prize
And to be swift is less than to be wise.
— ALEXANDER POPE

The Pr oper Psychic Position
 The single cause of all things is the Secret Self. Out of it all is made. The
infinite procession of animate forms in the world is a manifestation of its
many-sided and eternal nature. The Secret Self is purely mental. Its essence
is light, electricity. It is signified by the enormous at-balance ener gy in the
atom, by the curious invisible prison that locks molecules into certain form
and gives them the shape of a tree, a rock. The wonderful, emancipating,
hopeful fact is this: the interaction of the Secret Self with its creations is the
cause of evolution in the species and the cause of evolution in the
individual. W e can change ourselves, make ourselves better, by achieving
proper relationship with it.
What is this proper relationship? It is not a groveling debasement, not a
tearful submission, not an abject resignation. It is a conscious and
controlled turning over of the life to a power more fitted to use and develop
it than the ego

In the Name of the Light of God  That NEVER  Fails: I AM THE MIRACLE OF GOD!
I accept a Miracle this day. I DEMAND  A MIRACLE  in every level


philis,	tetanus	and

tuberculosis;

2)	That	vaccination	is	not	only	useless,	but	positively	injurious,

of	protecting	its	subjects	from	contagion	of	smallpox,	it	actually	renders	them

more	susceptible	to	it	by	depressing	the	vital	power	and	diminishing	natural

resistance;

3)	That	immunity	from	all	diseases	is	to	be	realized	through	the	attainment	of

health,	not	by	the	propagation	of	disease;

4)	That	it	is	never	necessary	to	set	up	one	disease	in	a	healthy	organism	to

protect	against	another;	that	such	procedure	is	an	appalling	violation	of	the	basic

principles	of	hygiene	and	sanitary	science;

5)	That	the	performance	of	the	vaccine	operation	in	the	very	nature	of	the	case,

violates	the	cardinal	precepts	of	modern	aseptic	surgery,	the	aim	of	which	is	to

exclude	the	products	of	disease	from	the	organism,	and	never	to	introduce	them;

6)	That	there	is	no	evidence	worthy	of	the	name,	on	record,	to	prove	that

vaccination	either	prevents	or	mitigates	smallpox;
	7)	That	many	healthy	children	have	died	from	the	effects	of	vaccination;

8)	That	millions	of	vaccinated	people	have	died	of	confluent	smallpox	while

having	the	plainest	vaccine	scars	on	their	bodies;

9)	That	smallpox	epidemics	invariably	attack	the	vaccinated	first;

10)	That	smallpox	follows	closely	upon	flagrant	violation	of	the	laws	of	health,

hygiene	and	sanitation;

11)	That	the	occurrence	of	all	the	great	epidemics	of	smallpox	have	coincided

with	periods	of	sanitary	neglect;

12)	That	cowpox	and	venereal-pox	have	much	in	common;

13)	That	the	analogy	between	the	manifestations	of	vaccine	and	those	of	syphilis

is	so	close	that	several	of	the	most	eminent	pathologists	of	the	world	regard

cowpox	as	a	modified	form	of	syphilis;

14)	That	the	so	called,	‘spontaneous	cowpox’	is	a	myth;	that	cowpox	is	a

disorder	not	natural	to	the	cow;	that	it	never	occurs	in	bulls	or	steers,	nor	in

young	heifers	that	have	never	been	milked;	that	it	is	a	disease	of	milk	cows,

which	has	been	communicated	to	them	from	sores	on	hands	of	milkers	who	were

suffering	from	syphilis;

15)	That	the	serious	killer	diseases	such	as	cancer,	syphilis,	heart	trouble,	polio,

tuberculosis,	etc.,	will	never	be	eliminated	as	long	as	blood	pollution	through

vaccination	is	continued;

16)	That	the	community	that	has	sanitary	surroundings,	a	pure	water	supply,

wholesome	food,	good	health	and	freedom	from	the	blood	poisoning	effects	of

vaccination,	need	have	no	fear	of	smallpox	or	any	other	diseases;

17)	That	no	man	can	be	truly	said	to	be	susceptible	to	the	contagion	of	smallpox

or	to	that	of	any	other	disease	so	long	as	he	is	in	a	state	of	perfect	health;

18)	That	such	a	state	resists	and	repels	the	assaults	of	all	morbific	influences	and

is	therefore	the	best	protective	against	disease;
	19)	That	vaccination	has	utterly	failed	to	fulfill	the	promises	made	for	it	by

Jenner	and	his	followers	and	that	he	saddled	a	legacy	of	disease	and	death	upon

the	race	for	which	he	was	paid	$150,000	by	the	British	government;

20)	That	compulsory	vaccination	ranks	with	human	slavery	and	religious

persecution,	as	one	of	the	most	flagrant	outrages	upon	the	rights	of	the	human

race."

21)	That	Switzerland,	England,	Australia	and	other	enlightened	countries

abolished	compulsory	vaccination	after	it	was	tested	and	proved	to	be	disastrous;

but	laws	sanctioning	this	crime	still	disgrace	the	statute	books	of	"free"	America.

22)	That	reforms	are	not	made	by	those	who	profit	by	them	so	the	doctors	or	the

government	cannot	be	depended	upon	to	abolish	vaccination	of	their	own

volition;	that	the	people,	themselves,	must	rise	up	and	make	demands	for

freedom	from	this	curse	of	greed,	ignorance	and	destruction,	for	only	then	can

we	hope	to	see	the	light	of	a	new	day	of	health,	progress	and	harmonious

adjustment.
	CHAPTER	2
SMALLPOX	DECLINED	BEFORE

VACCINATION	WAS	ENFORCED
“To	mistake	inferences	or	axioms	for	facts	has	been	a	curse	of	science.”
	—
Sir	Clifford	Albutt,	in	“Nature”

The	simple	fact	that	we	have	less	smallpox	now	than	we	did	200	years	ago,	does

not	in	any	degree	prove	that	vaccination	caused	this	decline,	although	the

promoters	of	vaccination	have	taken	upon	themselves	the	full	credit	for	this

improvement.

The	most	noticeable	decrease	in	smallpox	and	other	zymotic	(infectious,

contagious)	diseases	began	with	the	sanitation	reforms	just	prior	to	1800	and	the

improvement	in	nutrition	brought	about	by	such	health	crusaders	as	Trail,

Graham	and	Jennings	around	1840.

THIS	SANITATION	AND	HEALTH	IMPROVEMENT	PROGRAM	included:

1)	Sewage	disposal,

2)	cleaning	of	streets,	back	yards,	stables,	etc.,

3)	improvement	of	roads	so	that	fresh	vegetables,	milk	and	other	vital	foods

could	be	transported	rapidly	to	the	cities	and	distributed	while	still	fresh.

4)	The	water	supply	was	improved	and	protected	from	contamination.

5)	Housing	projects	were	built	out	in	the	suburbs	to	relieve	congestion	of

population	in	the	cities.

THE	NUTRITIONAL	TEACHINGS	stressed	natural	whole	grain	bread	instead

of	white	bread,	fresh	fruits	and	vegetables	free	from	salt,	sugar,	chemicals	and

other	harmful	preservatives	and	the	rejection	of	coffee,	tea,	alcohol,	tobacco,

drugs	and	other	drastic	poisons.	Meat	and	other	low	grade	proteins	were
	denounced	in	favor	of	nuts,	beans	and	other	such	proteins	with	more	health	value

and	less	toxic	effects.

The	age	old	"terror	diseases"	such	as	plague,	black	death,	cholera,	etc.,	that	were

previously	believed	to	be	contagious,	responded	at	once	to	this	health	program

and	soon	declined	to	the	vanishing	point	in	countries	that	adopted	the	sanitation

and	nutrition	improvements.	They	are	diseases	of	nutritional	deficiency	and

imbalance	just	the	same	as	all	other	diseases.

A	glance	at	the	following	table	of	official	statistics	from	England	and	Wales

shows	us	how	smallpox	deaths	declined	only	after	the	people	began	their

opposition	to	the	vaccination	law	and	an	ever	increasing	number	refused	to	be

vaccinated.

 way any environmental factors can be taken into consideration for creating Hamer Herds in combination with psychological
conﬂicts. Most people presently have a very unhealthy lifestyle in addit ion to a poor quality of inherited genes. It may well be that
really healthy individuals will not develop a Hamer Herd in response to an unexpected emotional shock or that it will be a mild and
self-healing event.
In a similar way may appropriate natural therapy directed to a diseased organ give a message to the associated brain area that helps
healing the Hamer Herd, and in time also leads to a resolution of the emotional conﬂict.
A conﬁrmation of the suggested interconnectedness between emotions, nutrients, brain and organs can be found in kinesiology.
Research in muscle testing has revealed a relationship between different nutrients and emotions with speciﬁc muscles and organs
transmitted through the system of acupuncture meridians. However, a surprising ﬁnding was the direct involvement of the brain.
When an isotopically labeled nutrient was placed in the back of the mouth within seconds the isotope was also detected in the brain.
I suggest that conﬂict resolution may also happen in unspeciﬁc ways. Assuming a patient receives a conﬂict shock due to a diagnosis
of cancer, then this conﬂict but possibly also the original conﬂict shock may possibly be resolved if the patient fully believes and
expects that the subsequent treatment will be curable. Other possibilities have been suggested under the heading Healing the
Psychic Conﬂict.

Your body always tries to fulﬁll your expectations, or your inner fears.
Therefore, have great expectations... expect to be how you want to be.
Most individuals come to this site in search of a speciﬁc remedy to cure their problems. However, holistic healing does not work this
way. If you do not ﬁrst establish a solid foundation for good health, then a magic bullet may only give temporary relief, and other
health problems keep cropping up. Therefore, the guiding principle of this website is to ﬁrst get the basics right and then further
improve and maintain health through a natural lifestyle. With this approac h you can expect most health problems to disappear without
speciﬁc remedies. The remaining, more deep-seated problems can then be more easily diagnosed and treated with speciﬁc methods.
Here are the basic conditions that you need to work on ﬁrst:
1.  Intestinal sanitation – clean out the gastro-intestinal tract, remove old waste accumulations and pathogenic microbes, and
     replace them with pro-biotic lacto-bacteria
2.  A short cleansing period to reduce the levels of toxic waste accumulated in the body
3.  Test your food for allergies and sensitivities
4.  Make sure that you have good water for drinking and cooking
5.  Check whether your body is too acid or too alkaline and start correcting any imbalance
6.  Sanitize your living and working conditions, especially in regard to electro-pollution
7.  Adopt a healthy diet that is suitable for your blood group or metabolic type
8.  Take steps to eliminate pathogenic microbes and parasites from your body
9.  Check for and try to correct any obvious nutritional deﬁciencies
Preferably combine the ﬁrst three steps as described in The Basic Cleanse. Then work on steps 4 to 7.
You can do that to any degree and in any order that suits you. However, I suggest that you go through these steps fairly quickly,
attend to the main problems, and then work your way through them a second time more slowly and thoroughly. For step 4 see the
article on Living Water, for step 5 see The Acid – Alkaline Balance, for step 6 see Healthy Living  and Electromagnetic Pollution, and
for step 7 start with the High-Quality Diet  in Healing Foods.
Most of us have some active or low-level chronic infections, or dormant  pockets of microbes or parasites. For several weeks or
months, perhaps once a year, make  a concentrated effort to eliminate pathogenic microbes and parasites from your body. The Basic
Cleanse  is designed to eliminate these from the gastro-intestinal tract, but there may be others in the blood, the lymph system, in the
jawbone, liver or urinary tract. Prefer ably combine an electronic blood puriﬁer or zapper with suitable herbal remedies. I like using pau
d’arco or taheebo in high concentration (see Purple Lapacho at www.oralchelation.com ), in addition to wormwood (one teaspoon of
powder per day, wash down with liquid). You may also use colloidal silver and oxygen therapy. With virus infections also high-level
vitamin C and L-lysine are ef fective (see under [I] in Infections & Inﬂammations in Speciﬁc Health Problems ).
During anti-microbial therapies supplement with pro-biotic acidophilus.
Nutritional deﬁciencies are more difﬁcult to discover, but most will disappear on their own after working through steps 1 to 8, and
adopting a High-Quality Diet in addition to using food concentrates, such as spirulina or chlorella, bee-pollen, ground linseed, lecithin,
kelp and cod liver oil. For remaining problems check the list of Deﬁciency Symptoms. Any major remaining deﬁciencies tend to be
due to low gastric acid levels and malabsorption. To correct these see Intestinal Sanitation  in Healing Foods  and Malabsorption  in
Part 2 of Speciﬁc Health Problems.
If you want to improve your health still further, or if you have a difﬁcult and unresponsive disease condition, increase the raw food
content of your diet to about 90%. In addition, work on your emotions and attitudes, especially use guided energy imagery and the
Emotional Freedom Technique described in Mind Tools. Your body always tries to fulﬁll your inner fears or expectations. Therefore,
have great expectations; expect to be how you want to be. During the course of your health improvement program you are likely to
encounter cleansing or healing reactions. Get an understanding of this topic by reading the article on The Healing Crisis.

By W alter Last
Magnets are an effective tool in healing. The opposite poles of a magnet have different effects on the body. Therefore, it is essential
to name the poles correctly.
If a magnet is suspended with a thread, the pole pointing towards the north is called the north-pole (according to convention in
physics); the other pole is the south-pole. However, in some books on bio-magnetism, especially in the USA, the poles are named
conversely. For a detailed explanation about this controversy of naming poles see How Magnetic Poles Are Named.
In this article north-pole means north-pointing pole, as in physics. Howe ver, whenever it is important to avoid misunderstandings, I
prefer to use the term north-pointing or south-pointing pole as then every one knows which pole it refers to. Another way of ﬁnding the
polarity of a magnet is to move it slowly towards the north-pointing end of a compass needle. If the needle turns away, the north-
pointing pole of the magnet has been used, and vice versa.
HOW T O USE MAGNETS
U-shaped magnets are obviously not suitable for magnet therapy; instead ﬂat ceramic or neodymium magnets are best, otherwise
short cylindrical or bar magnets may be


 toxic-
waste. It indicates which foods to eat early in the day (fruits and vegeta
bles) and which to eat later when you have accomplished your work for
• 120 • the day and can rest and allow your body to focus its remaining energy on
digestion—potatoes, grains, dairy products, and flesh foods. Of course,
the foods closest to "A.M." can be eaten anytime of the day, but those
closest to "P.M." should not be eaten early in the day, when you need
your energy for so much else. (If an individual's schedule is different
from the norm—working at night, sleeping during the day—with total
consistency, the body cycles will adjust to that schedule. There is little
documentation on this subject, but based on our own observations, this is
true.) Any day on which fruits and vegetables are all you consume and
meat, grains, or dairy are not eaten at all will be a high-energy, max
imum weight-loss day! The menus of the program are based on the En
ergy Ladder.
THE ENERGY LADDER • 121 CHAPTER
The FIT FOR LIFE
Shopping List
w when people begin to make changes
in their eating life-style, they are sometimes surprised (pleasantly) by the
variety of foods they are "still permitted to eat." We have so frequently
heard "You mean, I can have this?" that we have decided to include a
shopping list. It is designed to indicate what is available to you so that you
will fully understand how unrestrictive we intend this program to be. It also
includes some recommended brands that wc have found to complement
the spirit of this approach. Although all the items may not be available in
your supermarket or natural food store, they have been included so you
will know what to request. I have intentionally listed items from substantial
companies which will be able to increase their distribution as demand
increases.
Because of space limitations, I have not been able to list all of the
many companies that are consciously working to make excellent additive-
free products. It is up to you, and I strongly encourage you, to read labels
and avoid any products containing chemicals. Brands you may find that
are not mentioned here and that are chemical-free are certainly worth
substituting for the ones that do contain chemicals. Remember, chemicals
in your food are toxins in your body! Many of the items listed were at one
• 122'time only available in natural food stores and are now more and more
accessible in supermarkets. It is greatly to our benefit to have pure, chem
ical-free products in our supermarkets—so be sure to request them!
It is imperative for you to realize that this is not a shopping list of
required foods. We would not want you to run out and spend a week's pay
and a whole weekend trying to fit all that is on this list into your re
frigerator and pantry! The list will merely help you become aware of the
wide scope of foods that are available to play a role in the changes you
make. If your needs can be totally satisfied by only a few of the items
listed, that's fine! If not, use this list as a guide to the enormous number
of choices that are open to you.
FRUIT
Many fruits used to be available only in certain seasons. Now widespread
importing brings us year-round many varieties that used to be seasonal.
Importing also allows us to benefit from diverse nutrients from a variety
of soils and from a wide range of farming techniques. Some of the many
varieties are indicated under each fruit to encourage you to take advan
tage of the cornucopia of possibilities. A short description of some of the
more exotic fruits is also provided.
If you are an "apples-oranges-bananas person" and that satisfies you,
then stay with what you like. If, on the other hand, you feel like experi
menting, this list will give you some great ideas. Remember that fruit
must never he cooked, since cooking transforms its alkalinity to acid.
Many varieties will be listed, but not all, because there are so very
many. If you come across a certain variety that is not listed, just add it to

LYCHEE Commonly referred to as "the aristocrat of fruits,"
this heart-shaped fruit has a skin that looks like an
alligator's but inside is a puddinglike treat unlike any
other you have ever tasted. Slice into wedges and eat
off the skin, or cut in half and eat with a spoon.
Available in winter through spring.
Shiny green-skinned fruit, small and oblong, these
can be cut in half and the sweet green and purple
pulp scooped out with a spoon. They are slightly soft
when ripe. Available in winter and spring.
Fuzzy, brown-skinned fruit, usually size of a lemon;
tangy, bright lime-green inside with tiny edible black
seeds. Peel and eat whole, or slice, or cut in half and
eat with a spoon. Ripe when soft like a peach.
Small, pale orange fruit, shiny skin, these grow in
clusters on a branch. They turn from green to yellow
or orange when ripe. Can be peeled or not. Deli
cate, juicy orange flesh, large brown seed. Throw
the seeds into your garden. They sprout easily into
trees in tropical or semitropical climates.
Small, nut-like, hard brown or reddish skin. Peel to
discover pearl-white, juicy pulp with brown seed in
THE FIT FOR UFE SHOPPING LIST • 125 center. Rare in United States. Available for a short
time during summer. Although difficult to find fresh
(they are usually canned), they have a refreshing fla
vor that, once tasted, is never forgotten.
MANGO Many varieties, from large (grapefruit-size) red Hay-
dens to oblong yellow-green Haitians. Thick skin
should be peeled to reveal deep orange flesh. Can be
sliced or eaten whole. Large seed in center, to which
the rich and aromatic fruit clings. Available in late
spring and summer.
PAPAYA Greenish, yellow-orange skin, round or oblong fruit.
Hawaiian papayas are the size of an average hand.
Mexican papayas can be as large as a small water
melon, but they have a thin, gamey flavor which is
less attractive than the sweeter, richer Hawaiian vari
ety. Flesh may be bright orange or strawberry-
colored. Ripe when skin turns yellow-orange and
fruit gives to pressure. Black seeds at center are bitter
and should not be eaten. Available year-round.
PERSIMMON Many varieties, from yellow-orange flat-round Fuyus
to deep red-orange soft
