 Their heads point in opposite directions, and
their legs interact like two pairs of scissors trying to cut each
other. The vertical version is much more athletic: The woman
stands on her head, her torso and legs raised vertically with the
help of the man, who stands between her spread thighs. The
woman supports her upright body with her hands, while the man
thrusts by bending his knees and moving up and down. O�(!cHmic Brit1kmat 1slrip and Multiple Os
COITAl. l)YNAMICS
Inexplicably. ntost contentporary sexology books ignore or deal
cursorily with ntovcntt'nt, angle. speed, and rhythnt in sexual in
tercourse. To learn the art of coital dynamics, one has to consult
the ancient Taoists. The Mystic Master of the (;rotto's Nine Man
ners of ntoving the jade stalk and Six Styles of penetration (sec
chapter R) arc poet ic descri ptions of the motions of sexual union. In today's bcdroont, we can take a few hints front the Mystic Mas
ter's flowery advic e and work out sonte pragntatic techniques. Varied ntotions in sexual intercourse result in varied forms,
degrees, and locations of stintulation. In addition to the stimula
tion of the usual erogenous zones involved in love-play, partners
enjoy having their own genital areas stimulated by their mates'
sexual organs. In sexual union, the partners who know where
and how-to stintulate give the greatest pleasure to their mat es
and then1selves. Nature has endowed men and women differently, so delec
table sex depends mostly on the coital dynamics of the male in
certain intercourse positions, and mostly on those of the female in
others. By experimenting with and controlling the various fac
tors influenci ng coital motion, a couple can personalize their own
pattern of coital dynamics. Male Dynamics
Men need to understand female anatomy, not just their own,
to get the most out of their movement during intercourse. In a
woman, the clitoral area is extremely sensitive, the vaginal rim
only mildly so. The front vaginal wall in most women is acutely
sensitive to friction and deep pressure, while the back wall is much
less so. At the depth of the vagina is the cervix, whose stimulation
during coitus results in ecstatic sensations in women. One brilliant bedroom skill from ancient China is variation in
male thrusting patterns. Many men believe that the best way to
excite a woman is by thrusting deeply, with a regular pumping
rhythm. Occasionally this may be so, just before orgasm for ex
ample. But regular, deep thrusting may bring on male climax too
quickly. Even if the man has enough self-control, the regularity
sometimes has a nu1nbing effect on the wontan. Deep thrusts arc
227 highly stin1ulating to the woman, especially if the tip of the jade
stalk touches the flower heart. On the other hand, shallower thrusts, with the stalk entering
only two or three inches into the moon grotto-to what the an
cients called "wheat bud" and "scented mouse"-may excite a
woman just as n1uch, though differently. The ridge of the stalk
can stimulate the magic spot in the front wall of the grotto. "Nine
shallow, one deep" and "eight slow, two fast" arc more than just
numbers games; in actual coitus such thrusting patterns can excite
more than one sensitive zone in the woman. It is therefore effective to give a series of regular, shallow thrusts
first, then follow with a sudden deep thrust, or a series of slow
thrusts followed by a quick one. The psychosexual thrill for the
woman is all the greater with the element of surprise; a man can
give his partner intense pleasure by varying the depth and tempo
of his thrusts. Other variations: Advance slowly, while exhaling;
then withdraw quickly, while inhaling. Or start by knocking on
the sides of the labia; first thrust only a little; continue thrusting,
progressively deeper each time. Whichever technique you choose, alter the depth, speed, and
rhythm of your thrusts to fit your own brinkmanship capability
and your partner's sensitivity. Verses from a sexology classic give
an idea of how coital thrusts can vary:
Nine shallow, one deep,

cannot move or even exercise her sexual muscles, and the man
cannot stimulate her clitoral area with his jade stalk. But if it
approaches at a different angle, so that its underside presses against
the back rim of the grotto, the glans can massage strongly the
front wall of her grotto, where it is most sensitive. Also, by
changing the angle of his stalk, the man can penetrate deeply
enough to reach the woman's flower heart or stimulate her clitoral
area with the front of his stalk. The ease in stimulating either the
front vaginal wall or the clitoral area with shallow thrusts or the
flower heart with deep thrusts-th ree of the most sensitive genital
zones in a woman-by varying the stalk angle only slightly ex
plains the popularity of this position with the ancient er oticists. Even more popular was Donkeys of Spring and its variations. In most of these rear-entry positions, the man can stimulate the
woman's three most sensitive zones (clitoris, front grotto wall,
and flower heart) by varying the thrusting angle selectively. The
woman can exercise her vaginal muscles, if she has learned the
exquisite Butterfly Quiver technique (described below). The free-

egardless	of	the	extent	to	which	thoughts	have	taken	over,	everyone	has
the	capacity	to	take	back	control	of	his	or	her	mind. A	still	mind	is	just
covered	up	with	mental	noise;	therefore,	anything	that	helps	to	de-clutter	your
mind	will	allow	stillness	to	resurface. Your	choice	is	to	keep	running	the	thoughts	through	your	head	and	experience
the	consequences,	or	become	a	good	gardener	of	your	mind,	root	out	the

	The	Buteyko	Method

T
he	Buteyko	Method	was	developed	in	the	1950s	by	Russian	doctor
Konstantin	Buteyko. His	method	has	been	practiced	by	hundreds	of	thousands
of	people	for	a	variety	of	conditions	including	asthma,	blood	pressure,
sleeping	difficulties,	anxiety,	stress,	panic	attacks	and	depression. As	a	young	doctor,	Buteyko	spent	many	months	sitting	at	sick	patients’
bedsides	observing	their	states	of	health. He	noticed	that	each	person’s
breathing	got	heavier	as	his	or	her	health	deteriorated. As	their	illnesses	advanced,	he	saw	that	his	patients	breathing	movements
from	their	chests	and	tummies	increased,	that	their	breathing	became	more
audible,	that	their	breaths	became	faster	and	that	they	sighed	more	and
breathed	through	their	mouths. In	time,	he	was	able	to	predict	the	onset	of
death	just	by	observing	their	breathing. This	raised	a	fundamental	question	for	Buteyko:	was	it	his	patients’	sickness
that	contributed	to	their	heavy	breathing	or	was	it	their	heavy	breathing	that
contributed	to	their	sickness? At	the	time,	Buteyko	suffered	from	severe	hypertension	that	was	going	from
bad	to	worse. He	began	experimenting	by	breathing	less	and	quietening	his
breathing. Within	a	short	while,	the	pains	that	he	had	experienced	for	months
went	away. Over	the	following	decades,	Buteyko	extensively	researched	this	subject	and
had	a	dedicated	laboratory	to	further	his	findings. His	method	was	brought	to
the	West	in	1990	and	is	now	taught	in	many	countries. Breathing,	such	a	vital	factor	for	life,	must	meet	certain	conditions. Severe
over	breathing	can	be	fatal	if	sustained	over	a	short	period. Therefore,	it	is
plausible	to	accept	that	negative	health	effects	will	result	from	less	severe	but
still	excessive	breathing	over	a	long	period.Normal	breathing	volume
T
he	number	of	breaths	per	minute	during	normal	breathing	is	about	10	to
12. Each	breath	is	approximately	500	ml. This	provides	a	healthy	volume,	as
described	in	any	university	medical	textbook,	of	five	to	six	litres	of	air	per
minute. Normal	breathing	is	quiet,	still,	calm,	relaxed	and	regular. Persons	suffering	from	anxiety	and	depression	breathe	a	volume	greater	than
normally	accepted	amounts. For	example,	an	average	sized	person	with
anxiety	might	breathe	15	to	20	breaths	per	minute;	with	each	breath	larger
than	the	normal	500	ml. Interspersed	with	this	is	a	number	of	sighs. Assuming
that	each	breath	is	700	ml,	the	average	breathing	volume	for	this	person	is	10
to	15	litres	of	air	per	minute. In	food	terms,	this	is	akin	to	eating	six	to	nine
meals	each	day! Chronic	over	breathing
C
hronic	over	breathing	basically	means	that	we	habitually	breathe	more	air
than	what	our	bodies	require. In	many	ways,	this	is	similar	to	a	person
developing	the	habit	of	overeating. Breathing	is	similar. If	we	breathe	more	than	what	our	bodies	require	over	a
24-hour	period,	the	habit	takes	hold. Dr	Stephen	Demeter	confirms	this	when
he	states,	“Prolonged	hyperventilation	(for	more	than	24	hours)	seems	to
sensitize	the	brain,	leading	to	a	more	prolonged	hyperventilation.”	(1)
	What	increases	breathing	volume? B
reathing	increases	as	a	result	of	modern	living. Factors	such	as	strong
emotions,	time	urgency,	tension,	anger,	stress,	anxiety,	overeating,	processed
foods,	a	belief	that	taking	big	breaths	is	good,	and	lack	of	exercise,	excessive
talking	and	high	temperatures	within	the	home	all	contribute	to	over
breathing. How	to	recognize	habitual	over	breathing
At	this	point,	you	might	think	that	you	don’t	over	breathe. For	most	people,
over	breathing	is	subtle. It	is	hidden,	which	is	why	it	often	goes	undetected. The	typical	characteristics	of	people	attending	my	clinics	include:

Breathing	through	the	mouth;
Audible	breathing	during	rest;
Regular	sighs;
Regular	sniffing;
Irregular	breathing;
Holding	of	the	breath	(apnoea);
Taking	large	breaths	prior	to	talking;
Yawning	with	big	breaths;
Upper	chest	movement;
Movement	of	shoulders	while	breathing;
Lot	of	visible	movement;
Effortful	breathing;
Heavy	breathing	at	night. How	many	apply	to	you? Do	you	sigh? Do	you	breathe	through	your	mouth? Do	you	wake	up	with	a	dry	mouth	in	the	morning? Does	your	breathing	get
faster	or	chaotic	when	you	are	stressed?Carbon	dioxide

	such	complex,	multifaceted	systems	that	establishing	proof
for	any	one	factor	and	any	one	disease	is	nearly	impossible,	even	if	you	had
the	perfect	set	of	subjects,	unlimited	time	and	unlimited	financial	resources. Because	of	these	difficulties,	we	do	research	using	many	different
strategies. In	some	cases,	we	assess	whether	a	hypothetical	cause	produces	a
hypothetical	effect	by
observing
	and	measuring	the	differences	that	already
exist	between	different	groups	of	people. We	might
observe
	and	compare
societies	who	consume	different	amounts	of	fat,	then
observe
	whether	these
differences	correspond	to	similar	differences	in	the	rates	of	breast	cancer	or
osteoporosis	or	some	other	disease	condition. We	might
observe
	and	compare
the	dietary	characteristics	of	people	who	already	have	the	disease	with	a
comparable	group	of	people	who	don’t	have	the	disease. We	might
observe
and	compare	disease	rates	in	1950
with	disease	rates	in	1990,	then
observe
whether	any	changes	in	disease	rates	correspond	to	dietary	changes. In	addition	to
observing
	what	already	exists,	we	might	do	an	experiment
and	intentionally
intervene
	with	a	hypothetical	treatment	to	see	what	happens. We	intervene,	for	example,	when	testing	lor	the	safety	and	efficacy	of	drugs. One	group	of	people	is	given	the	drug	and	a	second	group	a	placebo	(an
inactive	look-alike	substance	to	please	the	patient). Intervening
	with	diet,
however,	is	far	more	difficult,	especially	if	people	aren’t	confined	to	a	clinical
setting,	because	then	we	must	rely	on	everyone	to	faithfully	use	the	specifieddiets. As	we	do
observational	and	interventional
	research,	we	begin	to	amass
the	findings	and	weigh	the	evidence	for	or	against	a	certain	hypothesis. When
the	weight	of	the	evidence	favors	an	idea	so	strongly	that	it	can	no	longer	be
plausibly	denied,	we	advance	the	idea	as	a	likely	truth. It	is	in	this	way	that	I
am	advancing	an	argument	for	a	whole	foods,	plant-based	diet. As	you
continue	reading,	realize	that	those	seeking	absolute	proof	of	optimal	nutrition
in	one	or	two	studies	will	be	disappointed	and	confused. However,	I	am
confident	that	those	seeking	the	truth	regarding	diet	and	health	by	surveying
the	weight	of	the	evidence	from	the	variety	of	available	studies	will	be
amazed	and	enlightened. There	are	several	ideas	to	keep	in	mind	when
determining	the	weight	of	the	evidence,	including	the	following	ideas.CORRELATION	VERSUS	CAUSATION
In	many	studies,	you	will	find	that	the	words	correlation	and	association	are
used	to	describe	a	relationship	between	two	factors,	perhaps	even	indicating	a
cause-and-effect	relationship. This	idea	is	featured	prominently	in	the	China
Study. We	observed	whether	there	were	patterns	of	associations	for	different
dietary,	lifestyle	and	disease	characteristics	within	the	survey	of	65	counties,
130	villages	and	6,500	adults	and	their	families. If	protein	consumption,	for
example,	is	higher	among	populations	that	have	a
high
	incidence	of	liver
cancer,	we	can	say	that	protein	is
positively
	correlated	or	associated	with	liver
cancer	incidence;	as	one	goes	up,	the	other	goes	up. If	protein	intake	is	higher
among	populations	that	have	a
low
	incidence	of	liver	cancer,	we	can	say	that
protein	is
inversely
	associated	with	liver	cancer	incidence. In	other	words,	the
two	factors	go	in	the	opposite	direction;	as	one	goes	up,	the	other	goes	down. In	our	hypothetical	example,	if	protein	is	correlated	with	liver	cancer
incidence,	this	does	not	prove	that	protein	causes	or	prevents	liver
cancer. A
classic	illustration	of	this	difficulty	is	that	countries	with	more	telephone
poles	often	have	a	higher	incidence	of	heart	disease,	and	many	other	diseases. Therefore,	telephone	poles	and	heart	disease	are	positively	correlated. But	this
does	not	prove	that	telephone	poles	cause	heart	disease. In	effect,	correlation
does	not	equal	causation. This	does	not	mean	that	correlations	are	useless. When	they	are	properly
interpreted,	correlations	can	be	effectively	used	to	study	nutrition	and	health
relationships. The	China	Study,	for	example,	has	over	8,000	statistically
significant	correlations,	and	this	is	of	immense	value. When	so	many
correlations	like	this	are	available,	researchers	can	begin	to	identify	patterns
of	relationships	between	diet,	lifestyle	and	disease. These	patterns,	in	turn,	are
representative	of	how	diet	and	health	processes,	which	are	unusually
complex,	truly	operate. However,	if	someone	wants	proof	that	a	single	factor
causes	a	single	outcome,	a	correlation	is	not	good	enough.STATISTICAL	SIGNIFICANCE
You	might	think	that	deciding	whether	or	not	two	factors	are	correlated	is
obvious—either	they	are	or	they	aren’t. But	that	isn’t	the	case. When	you	are
looking	at	a	large	quantity	of	data,	you	have	to	undertake	a	statistical	analysis
to	determine	if	two	factors	are	correlated. The	answer	isn’t	yes	or	no. It’s	a
probability,	which	we	call
statistical	significance. Statistical	significance	is	a
measure	of	whether	an	observed	experimental	effect	is	truly	reliable	or
whether	it	is	merely	due	to	the	play	of	chance. If	you	flip	a	coin	three	times
and	it	lands	on	heads	each	time,	it’s	probably	chance. If	you	flip	it	a	hundred
times	and	it	lands	on	heads	each	time,	you	can	be	pretty	sure	the	coin	has
heads	on	both	sides. That’s	the	concept	behind
statistical	significance
—it’s
the	odds	that	the	correlation	(or	other	finding)	is	real,	that	it	isn’t	just	random
chance. A	finding	is	said	to	be	statistically	significant	when	there	is	less	than	5%
probability	that	it	is	due	to	chance. This	means,	for	example,	that	there	is	a
95%	chance	that	we	will	get	the	same	result	if	the	study	is	repeated. This	95%
cutoff	point	is	arbitrary,	but	it	is	the	standard,	nonetheless. Another	arbitrary
cutoff	point	is	99%. In	this	case,	when	the	result	meets	this	test,	it	is	said	to	be
highly	statistically	significant. In	the	discussions	of	diet	and	disease	research
in	this	book,	statistical	significance	pops	up	from	time	to	time,	and	it	can	be
used	to	help	judge	the	reliability,	or	“weight,”	of	the	evidence.MECHANISMS	OF	ACTION
Oftentimes	correlations	are	considered	more	reliable	if	other	research	shows
that	two	correlated	factors	are	biologically	related. For	example,	telephone
poles	and	heart	disease	are	positively	correlated,	but	there	is	no	research	that
shows	how	telephone	poles	are	biologically	related	to	heart	disease. However,
there	is	research	that	shows	the	processes	by	which	protein	intake	and	liver
cancer	might	be	biologically	and	causally	related	(as	you	will	see	in	chapter
three). Knowing	the	process	by	which	something	works	in	the	body	means
know


onest,	hardworking,	well-
intentioned	scientists	around	the	world	are	forced	to	make	judgments	aboutwhole	dietary	effects	on	the	basis	of	narrowly	focused	studies	on	individual
nutrients. The	greatest	danger	is	that	reductionism	science,	standing	naked
from	its	larger	environment,	has	come	to	be	the	gold	standard. Indeed,	I	know
many	researchers	who	would	even	say	that	this	is	what	defines	“good”
science. These	problems	are	especially	egregious	in	the	investigation	of	vitamin
supplements. As	I	noted	at	the	beginning	of	the	chapter,	I	spent	over	three
years	during	the	early	history	of	the	nutrient	supplement
business	developing
testimony	for	the	Federal	Trade	Commission	and	the	National	Academy	of
Sciences	in	their	court	case	against	General	Nutrition,	Inc. I	argued	that
specific	health	benefits	for	chronic	diseases	could	not	be	claimed	for	isolated
vitamins	and	minerals	in	supplement	form. For	this,	I	took	a	lot	of	heat	from
my	colleagues	who	believed	otherwise. Now,	more	than	fifteen	years	later,
after	hundreds	of	millions	of	dollars	of	research	funding	and	billions	of
dollars	of	consumer	spending,	we	now	have	this	conclusion	from	a	recent
survey	of	the	evidence:
The	U.S.	Preventive	Services	Task	Force	(USPSTF)	concludes	that	the
evidence	is	insufficient	to	recommend	for	or	against	the	use	of
supplements	of	A,	C	or	E;	multivitamins	with	folic	acid;	or	antioxidant
combinations	for	the	prevention	of	cancer	or	cardiovascular	disease. 49,
50
How	many	more	billions	of	dollars	must	be	spent	before	we	understand
the	limitations	of	reductionist	research? Scientific	investigations	of	the	effects
of	single	nutrients	on	complex	diseases	have	little	or	no	meaning	when	the
main	dietary	effect	is	due	to	the	consumption	of	an	extraordinary	collection	of
nutrients	and	other	substances	found	in	whole	foods. This	is	especially	true
when	no	subjects	in	the	study	population	consume	a	whole	foods,	plant-based
diet	when	it	is	this	diet	that	is	most	consistent	with	the	biologically-based
evidence,	supported	by	the	most	impressive	array	of	professional	literature,
consonant	with	the	extremely	low	disease	rates	seen	in	the	international
studies,	far	more	harmonious	with	a	sustainable	environment,	possessed	of
the	power	to	heal	advanced	disease,	and	has	the	potential,	without	parallel,	for
supporting	a	new,	low-cost	health	care	system. I	categorically	reject	the	idea
of	doing	reductionism	research	in	this	held	without	seeking	or	understanding
the	larger	context. The	endless	stream	of	confusion	generated	by
misinterpreted	reductionism	undermines	not	only	the	entire	science	of
nutrition,	but	also	the	health	of	America.15

enhance	their	products’	appeal	and	grow	their	market. One	way	to	accomplish
this	is	to	claim	nutritional	benefits	for	the	food	products	they	sell. At	the	same

While	I	was	getting	the	China	Study	off	the	ground,	I	learned	of	a	committee
of	seven	prominent	research	scientists	who	had	been	retained	by	the	animal-
based	foods	industry	(the	National	Dairy	Council	and	the	American	Meat

well. A	graduate	student	of	mine	was	visiting	with	one	of	these	scientists	and
was	given	a	file	on	the	committee	activity. I	have	never	learned	exactly	why
the	file	passed	hands. Perhaps	the	scientist’s	conscience	was	getting	the	better
of	him. In	any	case,	the	file	was	ultimately	given	to	me. The	file	contained	minutes	of	committee	meetings,	the	latest	being	held	at

 were quite successful, and a number of most
striking cases have been cited by the physicians to show the value of raw foods in the treatment of this disease. Other physicians and scientists who have studied the raw
diet in relation to therapeutic uses are D. C. Hare, J. F.
Kinderheilk, W. Heupe, I. Kanai, and M. Kuratsune. Dr.
Hare, of the Royal Free Hospita l in England, placed arthritic
patients on an exclusive raw diet for two weeks followed by a
predominantly raw diet for several weeks. Most of the
patients began to feel better within one to four weeks, with marked im
provement continuin g thereafter. Kinderheilk found the raw diet to be of value in avitaminosis, nephritis,
diabetes, and chronic constipation. In cases of cardiac disease
he noted that it promoted the excretion of superfluous water
and was thus helpful to the patients. Dr. Heupe, working at the University Medical Polyclinic in Frankfurt, reported the
diet to aid in the treatment of  diarrhea of children, in heart
and kidney diseases, and in obesity and diabetes. Kanai, of
the University of Berlin, studied the effect of raw and cooked
vegetarian diets on the oxidation of the body. He noted that oxidation was impaired by cooked vegetarian foods. On the
raw diet the urinary output of nitrogen was greater, indicating
better absorption, and the weight increase was better. Dr.
Kuratsune, of Kyushu University, Japan, also tested raw and
cooked vegetarian diets, and reported results were decidedly better on the raw regime. Heated vegetables tended to
produce anemia, which was cured when raw vegetables were
eaten. Other diseases, which had failed to yield to
conventional medical care, responded favorably to the raw diet. The sum total of all human experience with raw foods has
thus been remarkably successful. As in the case with animals, the efficiency of physiological function within the body, as
well as the proportion of both infectious and degenerative
diseases, appears to correspond to a large degree with the
relative quantity of raw and cooked foods in the diet. In the
case of raw and heated milk the evidence is especially conclusive, particularly with reference to the growth and bone
and dental development of children. In the clinics and
sanitariums of the world, where a raw food diet has been employed, evidence of the value of all types of raw foods has
been obtained, and the raw diet is found to be of definite
therapeutic value in the treatment of many common diseases. Its value in this capacity is most pronounced, as it is
associated with no adverse side-effects, which so frequently follow the use of conventional medical treatments. 7
RAW FOOD IN LIMITATING
CIRCUMSTANCES
AFTER ALL that has been said, it may seem that raw food
constitutes the perfect nutriment of man. But in spite of the very great advantages of raw food, there is the question of
possible disadvantages. Seldom in science is there a principle
or practice which is never contra-indicated under any circumstances. The use of raw food, valuable as it is, does
have its limiting qualifications. It is important that these be
recognized if we are to view  this subject on a strictly
scientific basis. F
OOD PRESERVATION
   Among other things, cooking is a method of preserving
foods. As such it has played an important and necessary role
in human history. Until recently, the public food supply was often seasonal and uncertain. When food was available, it
could not all be consumed at once in its raw state. Much of
the food had to be preserved for a later day. Drying and salting were two methods of accomplishing this. Cooking was
another. Often all three methods were combined, particularly
as applied to the preservation of meat. Canning, which was
associated with a long cooking process, developed later and
permitted people to keep fruits, vegetables, and meats indefinitely. Cooking was important in helping to preserve
certain foods because it destroyed the enzymes which
otherwise would bring about rapid biological change. Cooking has thus played an essential role in human history by
stabilizing the food supply, though in the modern world,
where more practical methods  of food preservation are
available, it ceases to be of importance for this purpose. H
EAT- LABILE POISONS
   Nature is a storehouse of  plant poisons. Through thousands
of years of trial and error, man has identified and avoided
these, selecting the non-poisonous products of nature for use
as human food. Wild animals, in their own way, have done
the same. However, in rare cases the poisons of plant or animal tissue are heat-labile
, and the process of cookin g can render the food available for human nourishment by
destroying such poisons as may be present. A number of foods of this type may be given mention. First
is the acorn. This food is found in both sweet and bitter
varieties. The former are satisfactory in their raw state, but
the bitter acorns contain tannin, which is removed by washing acorn meal in hot water or boiling water. Likewise with the
cassava root, the sweet varieties are perfectly innocuous and
may be eaten raw as a table vegetable, but the bitter cassava
root contains poisonous hydrocyanic acid, which must be
dissipated by heat before the root can be used as food. Cottonseed meal contains a toxic pigment, gossypol, which is
destroyed by heat treatment. The little known cynad nuts of
Australia are toxic in their raw state, but through prolonged
soaking and cooking, the poison is removed from the flour of
the nut. Young brakefern shoots are poisonous when raw, but safe for human consumption when cooked. The raw cashew
nut is surrounded by two shells, between which is found a
strong and blistering brown oil which must be dissipated by
heat before the nut can be safely extracted. Untreated raw soy
beans contain a toxic anti-enzyme which tends to block protein digestion and cause some impairment in the growth of
experimental animals. This substance is destroyed by heat or
it can be removed by soaking raw soybeans 24 to 48 hours in
an ice box or refrigerator with three or four changes of water. The anti-enzyme is washed out into the water, which is then
discarded. Animal food can also contain heat-labile poisons. Certain
uncooked fish, including clams, mussels, cockles, shrimp,
lobster, suckers, catfish, bullhead, carp, herring, and
whitefish, contain the enzyme, thiaminase, which destroys part of the B complex vitamin, thiamine, in the gastro-
intestinal tract. For this reason foxes in captivity which are
fed large amount of such fish in the raw state eventually
develop symptoms of thiamine deficiency, and trout have
been observed to suffer when feeding primarily upon carp, which are particularly rich in this enzyme. People in different
parts of the world have consumed clams, mussels, shrimp,
and herring in the raw state, but no obvious signs of
deficiency disease have appeared. Apparently humans can
tolerate some thiaminase in the diet, though as with foxes and trout, excesses are doubtless possible. The troublesome
thiaminase is destroyed by heat, and thus in conditions where
very large quantities of fish containing thiaminase are
consumed, there is some reason for cooking. Raw egg white contains the heat-labile substance, avidin,
which tends to destro
y the B com plex vitamin, biotin, in the body. The consumption of very large quantities of pure raw
egg white can lead to symptoms of biotin deficiency, whereas
cooked egg white may be taken without difficulty. The yolk
of the raw egg is rich in biotin, which may counterbalance the effects of avidin and account for the fact that many people
have used whole raw eggs in the diet without experiencing
difficulty. In fact, there have been reports of definite physical
benefit from using whole raw eggs, and the food has been
used successfully in the treatment of tuberculosis, rheumatism, and other diseases. H. T. Parsons found that egg
white injury in rats could be prevented by including brewers
yeast or liver (which are rich in biotin) in the diet, and other
investigators have reported its prevention when the vitamin C
intake was adequate. The presence of avidin in raw egg white does not then indicate that raw eggs can never be used, but it
does indicate that the raw white should not be used alone,
particularly in diets which are rather low in biotin and
vitamin C intake. The removal of heat-labile poisons from food through the
application of heat is attended by removal or destruction of
essential nutritive factors. Though cooking may dissipate the poisonous principle, it does not render the foods completely
suitable for human nourishment. The foods become non-
poisonous, it is true, but they are as defective as other cooked
products. If we must use large quantities of foods containing
strong heat-labile poisons which cannot be removed by the water-soaking process, let us apply cooking by all means. But
as long as we already have an adequate supply of healthful
non-poisonous foods, there is no necessity for using those containing the more powerful heat-labile poisons. And the
mild anti-vitamin factors,


 is generally conceded to be the most logical and practical method  of
bringing about the preponderace of L. Acidophilus type of  bacteria in the intestines. By administering L. Acidophilus milk
implantation the proliferation of the organisms in the intestinal tract are more rapidly accomplished for then there is direc t
implantation of large numbers of viable organisms. The lactose of milk induces the multiplication of the desired type of bacteria. It is necessary that large quantities of very active cultures should be taken, and special measures must be adopted to supply  to the
B. acidophilus, when in the colon, the carboyhydrates w hich it requires for efficient growth. The growth in the large intestine of
lactobacillus acidophilus depends solely on starch and sugar, but more so on milk sugar. In order to change the intestinal fl ora, it is
best to adopt the following rules. For fift een days, about eight ounces to sixteen ounces of culture of lactobacillus acidophilus, in which three large tablespoonsful o f
lactose is dissolved, should be taken daily thirty minutes before breakfast; and for the same length of time, three large
tablesp oonsful of lactose should be dissolved ‘many kind of fruit juices, milk, soups, broth or water, and taken daily thirty
minutes before supper. After this, four ounces to eight ounces of lactobacillus acidophilus culture, in which three tablespoo nsful of
lactose have been dissolved, should betaken every morning for fifteen more days. The lactose, however, should be taken as before. After this, the quantity of the culture of the lactobacillus acidophilus can be reduced to four ounces every day for fifteen more
days. For the remainder of the time, the ingestion of the culture of the lactobacillus acidophilus, two ounces every day, may  be
sufficient to keep the required amount of lactobacillus acidophilus present in the large intestinal tract. One must remember that the
amount of the daily requirement of lactose, should continue to be about three tablespoonsful, morning and evening, as the dai ly
requirement. As to the length of time that the lactobacillus acidophilus culture (together with the lactose) should be taken in order for one to
gain the desired results depends on the severity of the condition that is being treated. However, a period ranging from four to six
months may be necessary. A period of about three months of rest may be taken and then the procedur e, if necessary, may be
repeated. It is possible that the taking of the lactobacillus acidophilus culture and the rest periods may have to go on for some time. When is the intestinal flora changed? The intestinal flora is changed when the stools are soft, frequent (three times a day), and free
from putrid or rancid odor. Examination by a bacteriologist should give positive 80 and negative 20, which means 80% of the a cid
formers and 20% of other bacteria. In a bad flora, the percentage will be the reverse, 2 0-80. Of course, a change from 20 -80 or
worse to 40 -60 or 50 -50, is a decided improvement, but this should not be considered at all satisfactory. Old troubles may still
continue, perhaps somewhat modified. But when the change reaches 75 -25, marked improvem ent will be evident, and the more
complete the change of flora, the more decided will be the change for the better in the patient’s symptoms. The advantages of regularly using lactobacillus acidophilus together with the lactose mixture are obvious. Throug h not a cure -all,
yet one would be temped to say that it should be used not only when diseases have already made their inroad, but more so as a
preventive of disease. A few more suggestions about the lactobacillus acidophilus therapy The culture, to be eff ective, must
contain at least 200,000,000 lactobacillus acidophilus per cubic centimeter. Although clinicians experience has been that
lactobacillus acidophilus therapy has to be taken in large doses to be effective, there have been cases in which daily do ses even as
small as four ounces has proved satisfactory when it was mixed with a like amount of lactose. In about 75 -80% of non -complicated
constipation, lactobacillus acidophilus therapy has given uniform good results. The lactobacillus acidophilus cultu re should be
used within or before the expiration date marked on the bottle.”*

INTESTINAL FLORA
Current research into intestinal flora of the human bowel has revealed some new and valuable information for the health -seeking
individual. (See Bibliography f or further reading.) Dr. Paul Gyorgy of the Institute of Nutrition Academy of Medical Sciences of
the USSR (discoverer of vitamin B -6), has determined that the main component of the normal intestinal flora of man is
lactobacillus bifidus. Bifidus bacterium  readily establishes itself in the colon of newborns when fed mother’s milk. It is bifidus that
is found in the nipple of lactating mothers. Very encouraging research in both the USSR and Germany have demonstrated the rejuvenating qualities of this bacter ia when it is
well established in the colon. The only commercially -available form of lactobacillus bifidus that I am aware of comes under the
brand name of Eugalan Topfer Forte, and can be found in your health food stores. If not locally available, address  your inquiry for
this product and information to: Bio -Nutritional Products (see Bibliography) A program using this bacteria following the former
instructions should bring encouraging results to those who suffer from a lack of proper intestinal flora. Ever yone should take a
good replenishment of acidophilus culture, which can be purchased at any health food store. I recommend taking this culture
regardless if you have been on the colema treatments or not. However, it is strongly recommended to be taken afte r the colema
treatments. “The intestinal Flora in Constipation” by N. A. Ferri, Sr., M.D., Chicago, IL. ഊ55

CHAPTER 7
NATURAL METHODS AND TECHNIQUES FOR BOWEL IMPROVEMENT: A WHOLISTIC APPROACH
There are many detoxifying agents which may be useful under various circumstances, but we need to approach detoxification from
a “whole body” perspective. We need to do more than just take care of the bowel or liver. We must have the right chemical
balance for the body. It is not sufficient to use a drug to provide  a chemical stimulus to “drive” the body to work right. Rather, we
must repair, rebuild and regenerate the body as we go along. Proper breathing is important to get oxygen to the organs and ti ssues
of the body. Exercise is good to get the blood and lymph c irculating but too much exercise in a toxic -laden body is only stirring up
muddy waters. Lymph drainage is important. Drainage can be increased through the use of protomorphogens or through the use of
herbal substances such as blue violet tea. Stimulating increased lymph drainage, however, is not sufficient to carry off toxins that
may be pouring into the lymphatic system via a stagnant bowel holding five or six meals before elimination takes place or fro m a
bowel pocket holding a mass of putrid material wh ich is being reabsorbed into the body. We dilute the God -given power of our
body when the bowel does not eliminate eighteen hours after each meal. BACKGROUND STUDIES —MY PREVIOUS WORK
Rather than restating work that I have written in the past it would be b eneficial for the reader to study four of my previous books. These give a good background for the work that is presented here. For instance, if you really want to know how to take care of colitis, you should know about the liquified salads. They allow bulk to
get into the bowel in a liquefied form that is more easily digestible. Unfortunately people do not chew well enough - some have
dentures or missing teeth that make mastication difficult - others are just lazy. Liquefied salads are a way to get the food
reduced to an easily -assimilable size. The book Blending Magic tells how to prepare delicious foods that retain their full enzyme
and nutrient values. Doctor/Patient Handbook describes the reversal process and the ways of taking care of the colon through  that process. Nature Has
A Remedy is a book that covers the ways of building the body wholistically through the use of herbs, sunshine, fresh air, wat er and
the right mental attitude. When we take care of the “whole” body with these natural, God -given rem edies, every tissue and system
is revitalized. A New Lifestyle for Health and Happiness gives a complete program for aligning the body, mind and spirit to the good life. Complete with menus, diet control and comprehensive, self -check analysis. In an effec tive bowel management program, you will
need to drink at least three glasses of liquid before breakfast every morning. Keep in mind that cold water will stop at the stomach,
but warm or hot water will go directly to the bowel. If you want to go on an elimi nation program, you can use the Veico 77 or 79
bulk and clay water. Follow directions, and use it three times a day


plus zero equals three, the numerical symbol of expression. I am fully
conscious of my expression. My eyes are undimmed and the natural func -
tions of my body are not abated. I am fully conscious of being what I do
not want to be. But knowing this law by which a man transforms himself, I assume that I
am what I want to be and walk in the assumption that it is done. In be -
coming it, the old man dies and all that was related to that former con -
cept of self dies with it. You cannot take any part of the old man into the
new man. You cannot put new wine in old bottles or new patches on old
garments. You must be a new being completely. As you assume that you are what you want to be, you do not need the as -
sistance of another to make it so. Neither do you need the assistance of
anyone to bury the old man for you. Let the dead bury the dead. Do not
even look back, for no man having put his hand to the plow and then
looking back is fit for the kingdom of heaven. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenDo not ask yourself how this thing is going to be. It does not matter if
your reason denies it. It does not matter if all the world round about you
denies it. You do not have to bury the old. “Let the dead bury the dead. ”
You will so bury the past by remaining faithful to your new concept of self
that you will defy the whole vast future to find where you buried it. To this
day no man in all of Israel has discovered the sepulchre of Moses. *****
These are the four stories I promised you tonight. You must apply them
every day of your life. Even though the chair on which you are now seated
seems hard and does not lend itself to meditation you can in imagination
make it the most comfortable chair in the world. Let me now define the technique as I want you to employ it. I trust each
one of you came here tonight with a clear picture of your desire. Do not
say it is impossible. Do you want it. You do not have to use your moral
code to realize it. It is altogether outside the reach of your code. Consciousness is the one and only reality. Therefore, we must form the
object of our desire out of our own consciousness. People have a habit of slighting the importance of simple things, and the
suggestion to create a state akin to sleep in order to aid you in assuming
that which reason and your senses deny is one of the simple things you
might slight. However, this simple formula for changing the future, which was discov -
ered by the ancient teachers and given to us in the Bible, can be proved
by all. The first step in changing the future is Desire, that is, define your objec -
tive – know definitely what you want. Second: construct an event which you believe would encounter FOLLOW -
ING the fulfillment of your desire – an event which implies fulfillment of
your desire – something which will have the action of self predominant. The third step is to immobilize the physical body and induce a state akin
to sleep. Then mentally feel yourself right into the proposed action, imag -
ine all the while that you are actually performing the action HERE AND
NOW. You must participate in the imaginary action, not merely stand back
and look on, but FEEL that you are actually performing the action, so that
the imaginary sensation is real to you. It is important always to remember that the proposed action must be one
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenwhich FOLLOWS the fulfillment of your desire, one which implies fulfill -
ment. For example, suppose you desired a promotion in office. Then being
congratulated would be an event you would encounter following the fulfill -
ment of your desire. Having selected this action as the one you will experience in imagination
to imply promotion in the office, immobilize your physical body and induce
a state bordering on sleep, a drowsy state, but one in which you are still
able to control the direction of your thoughts, a state in which you are at -
tentive without effort. Then visualize a friend standing before you. Put
your imaginary hand into his. Feel it to be solid and real, and carry on an
imaginary conversation with him in harmony with the FEELING OF HAV -
ING BEEN PROMOTED. You do not visualize yourself at a distance in point of space and at a dis -
tance in point of time being congratulated on your good fortune. Instead,
you MAKE elsewhere HERE and the future NOW. The difference between
FEELING yourself in action, here and now, and visualizing yourself in ac -
tion, as though you were on a motion-picture screen, is the difference be -
tween success and failure. The difference will be appreciated if you will not visualize yourself climbing
a ladder. Then, with eyelids closed imagine that a ladder is right in front
of you and FEEL YOURSELF ACTUALLY CLIMBING IT. Experience has taught me to restrict the imaginary action which implies
fulfillment of the desire, to condense the idea into a single act, and to re-
enact it over and over again until it has the feeling of reality. Otherwise,
your attention will wander off along an associational track, and hosts of
associated images will be presented to your attention, and in a few sec -
onds they will lead you hundreds of miles away from your objective in
point of space and years away in point of time. If you decide to climb a particular flight of stairs, because that is the likely
event to follow the fulfillment of your desire, then you must restrict the
action to climbing that particular flight of stairs. Should your attention
wander off, bring it back to climbing that flight of stairs, and keep on do -
ing so until the imaginary action has all the solidity and distinctness of re -
ality. The idea must be maintained in the mind without any sensible effort on
your part. You must, with the minimum of effort permeate the mind with
the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Drowsiness facilitates change because it favors attention without effort,
but it must not be pushed to the state of sleep in which you no longer are
able to control the movements of your attention. But a moderate degree
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenof drowsiness in which you are still able to direct your thoughts. A most effective way to embody a desire is to assume the feeling of the
wish fulfilled and then, in a relaxed and drowsy state, repeat over and
over again like a lullaby, any short phrase which implies fulfillment of your
desire, such as, “Thank you, thank you, thank you” as though you ad -
dressed a higher power for having given you that which you desired. I know that when this course comes to an end on Friday many of you
here will be able to tell me you have realized your objectives. Two weeks
ago I left the platform and went to the door to shake hands with the audi -
ence. I am safe in saying at least 35 out of a class of 135 told me that
which they desired when they joined this class they had already realized. This happened only two weeks ago. I did nothing to bring it to pass save
to give them this technique of prayer. You need do nothing to bring it to
pass – save apply this technique of prayer. With your eyes closed and your physical body immobilized induce a state
akin to sleep and enter into the action as though you were an actor play -
ing the part. Experience in imagination what you would experience in the
flesh were you now in possession of your objective. Make elsewhere HERE
and then NOW. And the greater you, using a larger focus will use all
means, and call them good, which tend toward the production of that
which you have assumed. You are relieved of all responsibility to make it so, because as you imagine
and feel that it is so your dimensionally larger self determines the means. Do not think for one moment that someone is going to be injured in order
to make it so, or that someone is going to be disappointed. It is still not
your concern. I must drive this home. Too many of us, schooled in differ -
ent walks of life, are so concerned about the other. You ask, “If I get what I want will it not imply injury to another. ” There
are ways you know not of, so do not be concerned. Close your eyes now because we are going to be in a long silence. Soon
you will become so lost in contemplation, feeling that you are what you
want to be, that you will be totally unconscious of the fact that you are in
this room with others. You will receive a shock when you open your eyes and discover we are
here. It should be a shock when you open your eyes and discover that
you are not actually that which, a moment before, you felt you were, or
felt you possessed. Now we will go into the deep. Silence period. More Free Books Law of Attraction Haven*****
I need not remind you that you are now that which you have assumed
that you are. Do not discuss it with anyone, not even self. You cannot take
thought as to the HOW, when you know that you ARE already. Your three-dimensional reasoning, which is a very limited reasoning in -
deed should not be brought into this drama. It does not know. What you
have just felt to be true is true. Let no man tell you that you should not have it. What you feel that you


 that's off track with your desires. As you go about
your day, the law of attraction is working in every second. Everything we think and feel is creating our future. If you're
worried or in fear, then you're bringing more of that into your
life throughout the day. When you are feeling good, you must be thinking good thoughts. So you are on track and you are emitting a powerful frequency that
is attracting back to you more good things that will make you feel
good. Seize those moments when you are feeling good, and milk The Secret Made Simple 33
them. Be aware that as you are feeling good, you are powerfully
attracting more good things to you. Let's go one step further. What if your feelings are actually commu-
nication from the Universe to let you know what you're thinking? JACKCANFIELD
Our feelings are a feedback mechanism to us about whether
we're on track or not, whether we're on course or off course. Remember that your thoughts are the primary cause of everything. So when you think a sustained thought it is immediately sent out
into the Universe. That thought magnetically attaches itself to the
like frequency and then within seconds sends the reading of that
frequency back to you through your feelings. Put another way,
your feelings are communication back to you from the Universe,
telling you what frequency you are currently on. Your feelings are
your frequency feedback mechanism! When you are feeling good feelings, it is communication back from
the Universe saying, "You are thinking good thoughts" Likewise,
when you are feeling bad, you are receiving communication back
from the Universe saying, "You are thinking bad thoughts." So when you are feeling bad it is communication from the Uni-
verse, and in effect it is saying, "Warning! Change thinking now. Negative frequency recording. Change frequency. Counting down
to manifestation. Warning!" 34 The Secret
The next time you are feeling bad or feeling any negative emotion,
listen to the signal you are receiving from the Universe. In that
moment you are blocking your own good from coming to you be-
cause you are on a negative frequency. Change your thoughts and
think about something good, and when the good feelings start
to come you will know it was because You shifted yourself on to
a new frequency, and the Universe has confirmed it with better
feelings. BOB DOYLE
You're getting exactly what you're feeling about, not so much
what you're thinking about. That's why people tend to spiral if they stub their toe getting
out of bed. Their whole day goes like that. They have no clue
that a simple shifting of their emotions can change their entire
day—and life. If you start out having a good day and you're in that particular
happy feeling, as long as you don't allow something to change
your mood, you're going to continue to attract, by the law of
attraction, more situations and people that sustain that happy
feeling. We all have experienced those days or times when one thing after
another goes wrong. The chain reaction began with one thought,
whether you were aware of it or not. The one bad thought attracted
more bad thoughts, the frequency locked in, and eventually some-
thing went wrong. Then as you reacted to that one thing going The Secret Made Simple 35
wrong, you attracted more things going wrong. Reactions just at-
tract more of the same, and the chain reaction must keep occurring
until you move yourself off that frequency by intentionally chang-
ing your thoughts. You can shift your thoughts to what you want receive confirma-
tion through your feelings that you changed your frequency, and
the law of attraction will grab hold of that new frequency and send
it back to you as the new pictures of your life. Now here is where you can harness your feelings and use them to
turbo-charge what you want in your life. You can purposefully use your feelings to transmit an even more
powerful frequency, by adding feeling to what you are wanting. MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
You can begin right now to feel healthy. You can begin to feel
prosperous. You can begin to feet the love that's surrounding
you, even if it's not there. And what will happen is the
universe will correspond to the nature of your song. The
universe will correspond to the nature of that inner feeling
and manifest, because that's the way you feel. So what are you feeling now? Take a few moments to think about
how you feel. If you're not feeling as good as you'd like to, focus
on feeling your feelings inside and purposefully lift them. As you
focus intensely on your feelings, with the intention to lift yourself,
you can powerfully elevate them. One way is to close your eyes 36 The Secret
(shutting out distractions), focus on your feelings inside, and smile
for one minute. LISA NICHOLS
Your thoughts and your feelings create your life. It will
always be that way. Guaranteed! Just like the law of gravity, the law of attraction never slips up. You don't see pigs flying because the law of gravity made a mis-
take and forgot to apply gravity to pigs that day. Likewise, there
are no exclusions to the law of attraction. If something came to
you, you drew it, with prolonged thought. The law of attraction
is precise. MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
It's hard to swallow, but when we can begin to open ourselves
up to that, the ramifications are awesome. It means that
whatever thought has done in your life, it can be undone
through a shift in your awareness. You have the power to change anything, because you are the one
who chooses your thoughts and you are the one who feels your
feelings. 'You create your own universe as you go along." The Secret Made Simple
DR. JOE VITALE
It's really important that you feel good, because this feeling
good is what goes out as a signal into the Universe and starts
to attract more of itself to you. So the more you can feel good,
the more you will attract the things that help you feel good,
and are able to keep bringing you up higher and higher. BOB PROCTOR
When you're feeling down, did you know that you can change
it in an instant? Put on a beautiful piece of music, or start
singing—that'll change your emotion. Or think of something
beautiful. Think of a baby or somebody that you truly love,
and dwell on it. Really keep that thought in your mind. Block
every thing out but that thought. I guarantee you'll start to
feel good. Make a list of some Secret Shifters to have up your sleeve. By
Secret Shifters, I mean things that can change your feelings in a
snap. It might be beautiful memories, future events, funny mo-
ments, nature, a person you love, your favorite music. Then if you
find yourself angry or frustrated or not feeling good, turn to your
Secret Shifters list and focus on one of them. Different things will
shift you at different times, so if one doesn't work, go to another. It
only takes a minute or two of changing focus to shift yourself and
shift your frequency. 38 The Secret
pets, for instance. Animals are wonderful, because they put
you in a great emotional state. When you feel love for your
pet, that great state of love will bring goodness into your life. And what a gift that is. "It is the combination of thought and love
which forms the irresistible force of the law of
attraction." There is no greater power in the Universe than the power of love. The feeling of love is the highest frequency you can emit. If you
could wrap every thought in love, if you could love everything and
everyone, your life would be transformed. In fact, some of the great thinkers of the past referred to the law
of attraction as the law of love. And if you think about it, you will
understand why. If you think unkind thoughts about someone else, JAMES RAY
PHILOSOPHER, LECTURER, AUTHOR, AND
CREATOR OF PROSPERITY AND HUMAN
POTENTIAL PROGRAMS
The principle of feeling good applies to your family The Secret Made Simple 39
you will experience those unkind thoughts manifested. You cannot
harm another with your thoughts, you only harm You. If you think
thoughts of love, guess who receives the benefits—you! So if your
predominant state is love, the law of attraction or the law of love
responds with the mightiest force because you are on the highest
frequency possible. The greater the love you feel and emit, the
greater the power you are harnessing. "The principle which gives the thought the
dynamic power to correlate with its object,
and therefore to master every adverse human
experience, is the law of attraction, which is
another name for love. This is an eternal and
fundamental principle inherent in all things, in
every system of philosophy, in every Religion
and in every Science. There is no getting away
from the law of love. It is feeling that imparts
vitality to thought. Feeling is desire and desire is
love. Thought impregnated with love becomes
invincible." MARCI SHIMOFF
Once you begin to understand and truly master your
thoughts and feelings, that's when you see how you create
your own reality. That's where your freedom is, that's where
all your power is. 40 The Secret

 for the year. They still lived on the wild animal game of the land. As in the northern
country just reviewed, their principal large animal was the moose. These are treaty Indians, and
many of them come out to this frontier to obtain the government bounty and, accordingly, were
obliged to bring their families. The bounty here amounted to five dollars per head, a considerable
income in exchange for blankets and other equipment. Some of these contact points were at the
height of the land dividing the waters running north and east to James Bay and Hudson Bay, or
south to Lake Superior. This was historic country that had been the meeting ground of the tribes of
the northern waters with the tribes of the Great Lakes district. Many battles had been fought there. For comparison with these more primitive groups from the Hudson and James Bay watershed, I
had the opportunity here of studying families that had taken up residence along the railroad or in its
vicinity in order that they might have the advantage of exchanging furs for the modern white man's
foods. This gave us an excellent opportunity to study the effects of the modern dietary, of which an
example is shown in Fig. 20. This Indian and his wife had built their bodies before the contact with
the white man. He is about six feet tall. Both the parents had splendid dental arches and well
formed faces. His teeth are shown in Fig. 20 (upper, left). Their two children shown in the
photograph were born after the adoption of the white man's foods brought in by the railroad. Both
are mouth-breathers and both have narrow dental arches and marked underdevelopment of the
middle third of the face. The older girl has tuberculosis. Another adult man is shown in Fig. 20
(upper, right). He, like the generation he represents, has exceptionally fine dental arches and well
developed face.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

three parents were developed before their district was
reached by modern civilization. Note their good physical and
facial form in contrast with the pinched nostrils of the two
children. The oldest girl has tuberculosis. They are the
product of civilization's contact with their primitive parents. At this point we again found many of the younger generation ill with tuberculosis or crippled with
arthritis. Two of these are shown in Fig. 21. FIG. 21. These are typical cripples met at the point of contact of our
modern civilization with the primitive Indians. The boy at the left has
arthritis in nearly all of his joints. He has several abscessed teeth. The
boy at the right has tubercul sis of the spine. For further comparison of the more isolated and more highly modernized groups a study was
made of the Indians in the largest single Indian Reservation in Canada, which is located at
Brantford, Ontario. In this group there are about 4,700 Indians living under highly modernized
conditions provided by the Canadian Government. They live on very fertile land and in close
proximity to a modern Canadian city. Each head of a family is provided with a tract of land from
which he usually has an income sufficient to permit him to have an automobile. They were able to
buy not only necessities and comforts according to the modern standards of the white man, but
many of the luxuries as well. The government provides a well administered hospital and staff.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 56/250When I asked the Director of this hospital, Dr. Davis, what the principal use of the hospital was at
that time (1933), he said that the demand for beds had completely changed in the twenty-eight
years he had been there. The principal services requested at the hospital in 1933 related to the
problems of maternity. He stated that in his period of contact he had seen three generations of
mothers. The grandmothers of the present generation would take a shawl and either alone or
accompanied by one member of their family retire to the bush and give birth to the baby and return
with it to the cabin. A problem of little difficulty or concern, it seemed. He stated that today the
young mothers of this last generation are brought to his hospital sometimes after they have been in
labor for days.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        One has only to see them carrying their burdens
of peat or to observe the ease with which the fisherwomen on the docks carry their tubs of fish
back from the cleaning table to the tiers of packing barrels to be convinced that these people have
not only been trained to work, but have physiques equal to the task. These studies included the
making of dental examinations, the taking of photographs, the obtaining of samples of saliva for
chemical analysis, the gathering of detailed clinical records, and the collecting of samples of food
for chemical analysis and detailed nutritional data. Communication is very difficult among many of these islands. It would be difficult to find more
complete isolation than some of them afford. We tried to get to the islands of Taransay and Scarpa
on the west coast of the Isle of Harris, but were unable to obtain transportation since the trip can
be made only in special, seaworthy crafts, which will undertake the passage only at certain phases
of the tide and at certain directions of the winds. On one of these islands, we were told, the
growing boys and girls had exceedingly high immunity to tooth decay. Their isolation was so great
that a young woman of about twenty years of age who came to the Isle of Harris from Taransay
Island had never seen milk in any larger quantity than drops. There are no dairy animals on that
island. Their nutrition is provided by their oat products and fish, and by a very limited amount of
vegetable foods. Lobsters and flat fish are a very important part of their foods. Fruits are
practically unknown. Yet the physiques of these people are remarkably fine. It was necessary sometimes for us to engage skilled seamen and their crafts to make a special
trip to some of these isolated islands. These seamen watch critically the tide, wind and sky, and
determine the length of time it will be safe to travel in a certain direction under conditions existing in
the speed of the running tide and the periodic change of the wind. Some of the islands are isolated
by severe weather conditions for many months of the year. These islands have been important in the whaling industry, even up to recent years. We visited a
whaling station on the Isle of Harris, not active at this time, where monsters of the sea were towed
into a deep bay. In the interior of the Isle of Lewis the teeth of the growing boys and girls had a very high degree
of perfection, with only 1. 3 teeth out of every hundred examined that had even been attacked by
dental caries. An important part of the study of these islands was the observations made on conditions at the
fringe of civilization. A typical cross-section of the residents of the seaport town of Stornoway can
be seen assembled on the docks to greet the arrival of the evening boat, the principal event of the
community. The group consists largely of adult young people. In a count of one hundred individuals
appearing to be between the ages of twenty and forty, twenty-five were already wearing artificial
teeth, and as many more would have been more presentable had they too been so equipped. Dental caries was very extensive in the modernized section of Stornoway. Since an important part
of these studies involved a determination of the kinds and quantities of foods eaten, it was
necessary to visit the sources available for purchasing foods in each town studied. In Stornoway,
one could purchase angel food cake, white bread, as snow white as that to be found in any
community in the world, many other white-flour products; also, canned marmalades, canned
vegetables, sweetened fruit juices, jams, confections of every type filled the store windows and
counters. These foods probably made a great appeal both because of their variety and their high
sugar content to the pallets of these primitive people. The difference in physical appearance of the
child life of Stornoway from that of the interior of the Isle of Lewis was striking. We found a family
on the opposite coast of the island where the two boys shown in the upper half of Fig. 6 resided. One had excellent teeth and the other had rampant caries. These boys were brothers eating at the
same table. The older boy, with excellent teeth, was still enjoying primitive food of oatmeal and
oatcake and sea foods with some limited dairy products. The younger boy, seen to the left, had
extensive tooth decay. Many teeth were missing including two in the front. He insisted on having
white bread, jam, highly sweetened coffee and also sweet chocolates. His father told me with deep
concern how difficult it was for this boy to get up in the morning and go to work. 7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

 development, the two events
do not occur in the same cell simultaneou sly. Each cell takes
part in the generalized mitosis of a group of cells-probably
fibroblas ts-for a period of time, after which, with other cells, it
undergoes a period of differen tiation. As growth proceeds, new
cells go into mitosis and then into differentiation adding thereby
to the new structure. There are no known methods for differenti
ating these two processes except by microscopic examination. The elcctro-metric technique offers the possibility of discriminat
ing between the two. 2
It seemed advisable, therefore, to investiga te the nature of
bioelectric phenomena in wound healing and to discover any
possible relationship between bioelectrics and tensile strength and
also between bioelectrics and growth or differen tiation. The experimental animals used for the laboratory were guinea
pigs, one group of which were fed a controlled diet. Another
group were fed a form of laboratory diet. In both sets of studies
an area of skin was bared and measurem ents taken between the
cephalic end of the bare area, and another at the caudal end of
the area. Wherever incision was to be made between the two, a
control point was taken. After the preliminary measurements were mad,:, the skin and
subcutaneous fascia were incised and suturerJ, following which
another set of examinations were made. These were continued
daily for the next two weeks or until the wound was healed. In
some in��ances, the healing was so complete as to make it difficult
to determine the site of the wound. 82 THE FIEL D AS A SIGNPOST
The data showed a marked change of potential gradient be
tween the normal skin and the area of injury. Perhaps the most
astonishing finding was that the site of injury was not consist
ently negative to the normal tissue, as would be expected by the
theory of injury potentiaL On the contrary, for the first twenty
four or twenty-eight hours after the injury, the wound area was
positive to the cephalic point in the normal skin. The potential
gradient between these two points tended to rise for twenty-four
or twenty-ei ght hours and then rapidly to decline until the third
or fourth day when the wound became negative to the normal
skin. This negativity increased until the maximum was reached
on the eighth or ninth day. Following this, and lasting for
twenty-four to forty-eigh t hours, the potential gradient dropped,
to be followed on the tenth or twelfth day by another rise in
potential. This was repeated on the twelfth and fourteenth day. On the fifteenth or sixteenth day the gradients returned to
approxima tely normal limits. The comparison of the curves obtained by Harvey and Taffel
shows an interesting parallelism. The tensile strength measure
ments show a rapidly rising curve during the first eight days. The
bioelectric measurements show a similar change. After the eighth
day, the tensile strength seems to approach a plateau. The bio
electric determinations show alternating growth and differentia
tion after the eighth day. While examinations show rather slow
changes in the potential gradients, nevertheless, they are statistic
ally reliable. In order to investigate this matter further, a second series of
animals was studied under somewh at different conditions. Thirty
guinea pigs from the laboratory stock were taken, ten of which
were placed on a controlled laboratory diet. It is to be noted that
this diet was differen t from that of the first series. These animals
received an incision on the right flank as described, and were
read daily. The rise and fall of potential differences during this period
would seem to be correlated with the growth of fibroblasts. Then
followed a period of differentiation represent ed by a clear-cut
increase in potential differences. However, once started, the alternation of growth and differ-
83 THE FIEL D AS A SIGNPOST
entiation was strikingly parallel in both groups of animals. TV. Tcnty of the animals were put on a vitamin C deficien t diet
ten with no wounds in the skin and ten with wounds. The poten
tial gradients in the operated and unoperat ed scorbutic animals,
ana in the norrnals on a controlled diet, showed interesting
parallelisms. In the case of unopera ted scorbutics a reasonably constant
baseline appeared through the period of the experiment. The
operated scorbutics, however, showed changes in the potential
differences which closely paralleled the normal animals, save that
the magnitude of the potential difference was less. In addition,
they showed the same delay in the onset of potential rise as was
seen in the operated animals on the normal diet. These observa
tions indicated that it is possible to measure with some certainty
bioelectric concomitant s of growth and differentiation in the heal
ing of wounds in the guinea pig. They suggested that the growth
process is not a continuous one, except in the early stages, but
rather that, after the eighth day, it alternates with periods of
differentiation. Bioelectric correlates of growth in the animals on
a control diet seem to rise faster and reach a greater magnitude
than in the case of the scorbutic animals. 3
In cooperation with the above-mentioned surgeons, a further
experiment was made on wound healing in the human. Some
twenty-five instances of operative procedures, with uncompli
cated healing of the wounds, were selected for study. All these
healed without any evidence of infection. Determinat ions of the
potential gradient between two points-one in the immediate
vicinity of the wound, and another at some distance from it
were made daily, beginning on the day following the operation
and continuing until the patient was discharged from the hos
pital, usually after fourteen days. In each observa tion, sufficient
readings were taken to insure valid measurements. It was at once apparent that there was, on the whole, a
definite trend. Comparison of individual cases revealed in many
84 THE FIELD AS A SIGNP OST
instances wide discrepancies. Such variations have been found
to be consistently present in animals studied by the tensile
strength method. Similar variations were particularly character
istic of electro-metric technique and therefore many detennina
tiOIlS are necessary. The results show that there is a phase of positive potential of
some four days' duration corresponding to the so-called lag in
the tensile strength method. This same phenomenon was ob
served in the guinea pigs and also in mice as an accompaniment
of a carcinogenic irritation. Following this, the wound passes into
a proliferated phase during which a negative potential is en
countered which reaches its height between the seventh and
ninth days. Here the maximum negative voltage is reached at
approxima tely the same time as the maximum tensile strength. The increasing negativity suggests an homology with the rising
negativity observed in other animals and in cancer. At the end of the tenth day the wound is usually healed and
from then to the end of the determinations the voltage gradient s
gradually fall to the normal base-line. These observations of
electro-metric studies of the healing wound in man parallel those
made in experimental animals and give weight to the concept that
the process of healing in man is a phenomenon of growth. 4
Since these wound healing experiments on man seem to indi
("ate a modification of the normal picture after surgery, it be
hooved us to find out what went on from day to day in normal
human beings with a reasonably normal existence. To this end, a
group of ten medical students were found to agree to do the
necessary examination to see what happened in the ordinary
day-to-day existence of such apparently normal subjects. These were studied for a considerable period of time and it was
found, in general, that the students could be separated into three
groups as was mentioned in Chapter 3 : one, a group that showed
consistently high potential differences between the index fingers
of the two hands, another with a low potential difference, and a
85 THE FIELD AS A SIGNP OST
third, an intermediate point. There was, however, one particular student in the group who
consistently showed a higher potential difference than all the
rest of the subjects. On investigation, it was found that this boy
had a history of emotional instability and. at the time he was
admitted, was admitted as an experiment. Before the end of the
year, however, the boy became definitely psychotic and had to
be remanded to an institution. These findings suggested at once that deviations from a normal
behaviour, such as might appear in a psychotic, were worth in
vestigating further. With the cooperation of the late Dr. Eugen
Kahn in the Department of Psychiatry, a number of patients
who had been studied carefully by the psychiatric staff-were
selected and measuremen ts made on them daily for a considerable
period of time. The psychiatrists were asked to divide the patients into three
groups-obvious deviates from normal behaviour, those that were
reasonably normal, and an intermediate group. The electro-metric
experiments were carried out in the services of the psychiatric
hospital without the electro-metric investigator knowing any
thing about the status of the individual. At the conclusion of the electro-m etrics the patients were
divided into three groups; those with markedly changed electro

"Metabolic" pertains to metabolism: The chemical and physical processes
continuously going on in living organisms and cells, comprising those by which
assimilated food is built up (anabolism) into protoplasm and those by which
protoplasm is used and broken down (catabolism) into simpler substances or waste
matter, with the release of energy for all vital processes. The person who has the metabolic malfunction should be addressed, not the
disease that has the person. We call our system of addressing cancer "Metabolic"
because the total person and all of his chemical and physical processes must be
considered, and new habits of health developed in order to obtain a reasonable state
of health. We advise a very comprehensive program. It is extremely effective and inexpensive
when compared to surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Those who are willing to
faithfully and tediously follow it w ill be successful. Those who follow it in part or
haphazardly w ill be completely unsuccessful. Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program is based on the best scientific
knowledge available and has been condensed to a simple well-balanced system. It
can be compared to a fine watch; each part must be there and functioning properly,
or it does not work at all. Each step of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program
must be followed exactly or there will not be any relief of the symptoms. 44
Winning The Cancer War
The Five Steps of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program
1. Adequate, Proper, Well-Balanced Diet (Chapter V)
2. Neurological Stimulation (Chapter VI)
3. Spiritual Attitude (Chapter VII)
4. Detoxification Of The Body (Chapter VIII)
5. Metabolic Supplementation (Chapter IX)
1. Halting or stopping the malignant growth with the use of supplemental
metabolic nutrition, is relatively simple. The growth is usually stopped from within 3
hours to 12 days of metabolic nutritional supplement support, depending upon the
amount and method of administration. This is usually noted by a sharp elevation of
body temperature lasting about three days. 2. The clinical problem in treating a cancer patient is step two, clearing the body of
accumulated toxins. This takes from 3 weeks to 18 months, depending upon the
location and mass (amount) of growth. Many cancer patients have had their tumors
successfully treated only to die of toxic poisons as the mass is dissolved and excreted
from the body. In a case such as this, the clinician treated the disease and not the
patient, or failed to treat "metabolically." 3. Diet for the cancer victim is as important as diet for the diabetic, and should be
carefully followed during the fist year of the recovery process. Later, diet can be
altered to a more acceptable program. However, for the rest of one's life food intake
and enzymes must be considered to remain "cancer-free." 4. The nerve pathways to the pancreas must remain functional, turning the
pancreas on and off as needed. When this process fails, the pancreas does not know
what to do. Osteopathic and chiropractic adjustments as well as acupuncture and
other newer neurological therapies have also proven helpful to the cancer victim. 5. Spiritual attitude often means the difference between life and death. Many are
not dedicated to the hard work and faith required for success. One patient recovered
by renting funny movies like Abbot and Costello, the Marx Brothers, Charlie Chaplin
and other noted comedians. He literally laughed himself well! We find that the rate of recovery is subject to another law — that of blood supply. If the rate of blood supply to an area is great, recovery is fast. If the blood supply to an
area is inadequate, recovery is very slow. Thus, we find those with leukemia respond
45
Winning The Cancer War
quickly, while those with bone afflictions have a much slower response. We have
also noted that in tumors of large diameter (three or more inches) the outside
diameter is quickly dissolved, but the interior, where there is a lack of blood supply,
often takes several months to dissolve. This is a very wonderful thing; the body has
time to detoxify, and the death rate from toxemia is greatly reduced. The prognosis for a cancer patient is very good when the liver, kidney, and lung
functions are at least 50% of normal, and an optimistic spiritual attitude is
maintained. Unfortunately, we have found many people who have lost hope, or their
next of kin have lost hope, to the degree they were resigned to death and refused to
try our Cancer Cure Program. Metabolic Cancer Defense
There are only two physicians: the Almighty and your own body
The pancreas is a complex organ and has many functions and purposes. We will
briefly mention three here:
A. Carbohydrate (Sugar) Metabolism. If this pancreatic function fails, the resulting disease process is what we call
diabetes. B. Production of Digestive Enzymes:
1. Amylase, which digests starches, glycogen and other carbohydrates. 2. Lipase, which digests fats. 3. Protease, which digests proteins. If this pancreatic function fails, the
resulting disease process is called:
a) Cystic Fibrosis (usually in children) and/or;
b) Malnutrition, starvation, cachexia, wasting, or emaciation (usually
in adults). C. To Digest or Cannibalize:
1. The intercellular metabolic waste and toxic metabolic materials. 2. The intracellular waste products and dead or dysfunctional normal cells. 46
Winning The Cancer War
3. The normal dormant pre-placenta cells as they become cancer cells. When this pancreatic function fails we have the resulting disease process we call
cancer. Metabolic Ignorance
There are many causes for the failure of our pancreatic metabolic function. Often
more than one cause exists simultaneously within the cancer patient. All must be
considered as possible, or ruled out as non-causative, in each cancer patient:
1. The pancreas fails to produce an adequate quantity of enzymes. 2. We take into our bodies such large quantities of foods which require
pancreatic enzymes for their digestion, that there are no enzymes available
for cancer digestion. 3. Diet: incorrect type, amount, and timing of nutritional intake. 4. Nutritional components are not available (vitamins, minerals, amino acids,
etc.) that are necessary for normal metabolism within the pancreas. 5. We may fail to take into our diet enough minerals, which are essential to
release the enzymes into activity. 6. We may produce enough enzymes but we fail to take into our diet enough
coenzymes (vitamins) to make the enzymes work. 7. Failure to make adequate pancreatic activators. 8. Obstruction of pancreatic secretion flow. 9. Often we produce enough enzymes, but the blood supply to a cancer area
is so poor that the enzymes we produce are not carried to the area. 10. Proper ph balance (acid/alkaline balance) within the intestinal tract and/or
within the malignant cancer tumor mass. 11. Infection: bacterial or viral. 12. Chemical poisons within the patient's body from the environment, food
chain, drugs, metabolic wastes or medications. 47
Winning The Cancer War
13. Man-made biologicals such as viruses or infectious agents. 14. Emotional instability and/or trauma. 15. Non-absorption of pancreatic secretions: pancreatin from the intestines
into the body due to scarring or damage to the small intestine from various
diseases. 16. Our bodies produce anti-enzyme factors. These factors keep the enzymes
from digesting our own bodies. Sometimes we produce an over-abundant
supply of these anti-enzyme factors. 17. Balance: instability and weakness of the autonomic nervous system. 18. Genetic: inheriting a very small, or weak or defective (ineffective)
pancreas. 19. Radiation damage such as from therapeutic procedures, etc. and
20. Spiritual weakness. Racial Gene Pools
The pure white race, Aryans, and in particular, the Anglo-Saxon, Celtic,
Scandinavian, Germanic, French, Scottish, Irish and British peoples, genetically
appear to have a much higher incidence of cancer than other races. The Jewish race,

believe	that	even	now,	American	leaders	are	talking	about	war	like	it’s	a	little
boy’s	set	of	Legos. In	truth,	war	only	creates	victims. The	people	who	are	killed	are	victims
and	the	people	who	are	sent	to	do	the	killing	are	victims	as	well. Post-
traumatic	stress	means	not	only	the	trauma	of	remembering	having	seen
people	killed;	it	just	as	often	means	the	trauma	of	remembering
having	killed. War	is	monstrous	and	should	be	seen	as	such. To	go	into	war	as	anything
other	than	a	truly	last	resort,	much	less	for	cooked-up	reasons—or	to	greet	it
with	rallying	cries	like	it’s	a	sports	event—are	the	signs	of	a	nation	having
lost	its	heart,	for	sure,	and	possibly	its	mind. This	attitude	is	not	pacifism	per	se. We’re	living	in	an	era	that	poses	a	new
set	of	questions. Other	generations	could	argue	about	the	moral	validity	of
this	war	or	that	war;	we	don’t	have	the	luxury	of	that	debate. Our	moral
challenge	is	to	move	beyond	war,	period. Some	seem	to	think	that	we	can	continue	to	manufacture	more	nuclear
bombs,	put	weapons	into	outer	space,	create	ever-more-pernicious	methods	of
chemical	warfare,	and	make	further	sales	of	arms	to	other	countries	to	the
tune	of	hundreds	of	millions	of	dollars—not	to	mention	embark	on	further
military	misadventures—without	ultimately	starting	to	lose	our	own	cities	andour	own	people	in	massive	numbers. Such	people	are	either	in	such	denial,	or
so	blind,	or	possessed	of	such	cold	hearts,	that	they	should	never	again	be
endowed	with	either	our	governance	or	our	trust. Anyone	who	doesn’t	understand	the	wave	of	new	thinking	and	enlightened
perspective	that’s	sweeping	the	planet	today	is	someone	whose	time	in	power
should	end. There’s	a	new	conversation	in	the	air,	and	all	of	us	should
contribute	our	voices	to	it	as	best	we	can. It	is	time	to	redesign	the	world—not
along	traditional	economic	geopolitical	lines,	but	along	deeply	humanitarian
ones—in	which	the	amelioration	of	unnecessary	human	suffering	becomes	the
new	organizing	principle	of	human	civilization. It’s	easy	to	laugh	at	baby	boomers	when	we	say	such	things. After	all,	isn’t
that	what	we	said	in	the	’60s? And	what	did	that	lead	to? Well,	it	led	to	the
end	of	one	war,	and	that’s	not	nothing. And	it	arguably	would	have	led	to
much	more,	had	Bobby	Kennedy	and	Martin	Luther	King,	Jr.,	not	died	in	part
for	believing	it. The	mistake	of	the	’60s	generation	wasn’t	that	we	didn’t	have
the	right	goal;	it	was	that	we	didn’t	yet	realize	that	we	ourselves	must	be	the
means	by	which	the	goal	is	achieved. In	the	words	of	Gandhi,	“The	end	is
inherent	in	the	means.”	We	must
be
	the	change	we	want	to	see	happen	in	the
world,
because	otherwise	the	change	will	not	happen. We	didn’t	know	that
then	but	we	know	it	now. We’re	more	sophisticated	about	politics,	and	we’re
more	sophisticated	about	love. We’re	becoming	what	author	Andrew	Harvey
calls	“sacred	activists.”	We	got	here	late,	but	we	got	here. We	arrive	with	gray	hair	and	irony:	The	generation	that	declared	war	on
hypocrisy	has	become	among	the	most	hypocritical	of	all;	the	generation	that
sought	to	replace	guns	with	flowers	has	more	often	replaced	flowers	with
guns;	and	looking	at	the	clock,	we	have	about	ten	minutes	left	to	awake	from
our	stupor	and	retrieve	our	moxie. Our	greatest	failure	now	isn’t	one	of	politics	so	much	as	of	imagination. We
need	to
imagine
	a	world	at	peace,	and	then	work	backward	from	there. The
world	can	only	be	at	peace	when	more	of	its	people	are	fed,	housed,	and
educated;	when	more	of	its	people	are	given	the	medical	care	they	need;	when
more	of	its	women	are	free;	when	more	of	its	opportunities	are	available	to
more	of	its	population;	and	when	more	of	its	resources	are	shared	equitably. These	things	wouldn’t	just	“be	nice”—they’re	essential	keys	to	a	survivable
future. Imagine,	for	a	moment,	the	$600	billion	or	more	a	year	that	the	United
States	now	spends	on	our	military	and	defense	(and	that	does	not	include	the
war	in	Iraq). Going	back	30	years,	what	if	we’d	spent	the	majority	of	that
money	on	such	humanitarian	concerns	as	mentioned	above? What	if	morepeople	in	the	world	had	seen	American-flag	decals	on	schools,	roads,	and
hospitals	in	their	communities	than	on	military	installations? Would	it	have
been	so	easy,	then,	to	stir	up	so	much	hate	against	us? Is	it	possible	that	there
wouldn’t	even	have	been	a
9/11? Such	questions	are	ridiculed	by	the	political	status	quo,	but	at	this	point	no
conscious	person	is	stopped	by	the	derision	of	the	status	quo. Those	who	look
at	the	world	today	through	a	lens	more	relevant	to	the	way	things	were	60
years	ago	are	not	the	ones	to	lead	us	forward. We’ll	move	forward	only	with	a
new	vision	of	where	we	want	to	go. And	there	is	no	way	we	can	get	there	if
we	forget	our	deep	humanity. We	need	to	do	more	than	just	defeat	an	enemy;
we	need	to	create	more	friends. In	the	words	of	Martin	Luther	King,	Jr.,	we
must	make	the	world	a	“beloved	community.”
Politics	and	economics	have	to	mirror	our	spirituality	or	else	they	mock	it. Humanity	will	change;	the	only	issue	is	whether	we	do	so	because	we	grow	in
wisdom	or	because	the	pain	of	not	changing	becomes	so	intense	that	we	will
have	no	choice. A	nuclear	bomb	would	ruin	everyone’s	day	and	everyone’s
business. There	is	nothing	astute—financially,	or	in	any	other	way—about
doing	whatever	we	want	to	do	without	worrying	about	its	effect	on	others. Such	thinking	shoud
