 r
ancid fats, putrefactive prod -
ucts and fermentation products.
Bacterial and fungal (y east) f
ermentation produce
alcohol, vinegar (acetic acid) and lactic acid with other byproducts of methane and carbon dioxide.  Proteins, decomposed primarily by anaerobic bac -
teria but also by fungi and aerobic bacteria, have as dec omposition end-products pt omaines (putr
es-
cine, muscarine, neurine, cadaverine, ptomatropine
and y et other toxic c ompounds), indoles
, leukomaines, skatoles, mercaptans, ammonia,
methane, hydrogen sulfide and yet other toxic compounds.  You need only to refer to a good dictionary to learn just how poisonous these products are.  Yet, Americans eat bil -
lions upon billions of pounds of cheese annually.
Cheese is made b y taking the casein portion of milk and r otting it with t
ypes of bacteria
that yield byproducts that many palates have come to treasure.  That all these poisons
going into the system cause anything less than sicknesses, diseases and debility is mis -
representation.  Tumors and cancer are often the result.

FruiticultureHumans consume many fermentation, rancid and putrefactive products.  Most are de -
rived from milk. Some are derived from grains (especially the alcohols), fruits (wines and
certain vinegars), legumes (especially the soybean and its tr ain of putr
efactive prod -
ucts), and decomposed meats.
As humans could not consume these dec omposed pr
oducts in nature without tools and
containerization, we may safely categorize them as unnatural.  I dare say that you agree.Are We Sucklings of Animals?I doubt that humans ever directly suckled cattle, goats, mares, camels, sheep and other
animals. And, of course, the idea of doing this is obnoxious to our disposition.  I refer,
facetiously, to milk drinkers as secondhand grass eaters although, to be sure, grass has all the nutr ients necessar y t
o support life.
While we can live on milks (certain Africans, like the Masai, live substantially on milk and blood, thus reducing themselves to parasite status), these are by no means our natural foods. Milk-drinking as a regular part of our intake is only a few hun -
dred years old with the exception of certain Arabic and A frican peoples.  M ilk
-drinking is pathogenic.
If milk and milk products were discontinued today, millions of people would cease to suffer sicknesses and pathologies within a short pe -
riod. In fact, if this alone was discontinued, the hospitals would virtually empty out and physicians’  w
aiting rooms would be mostly vacated.
Milk-drinking is also an act by proxy.  If we had to get milk directly from the teats of ani -
mals by suction, I’m sure we’d skirt milk altogether.  I would and I’m sure you would too.
Are We F
rugivores?
Are we a species of fruit eaters?  Would you, in nature, relish ripe, vibrant grapes, peach -
es, melons, bananas, apples, plums, oranges, mangos, avocados, tomatoes, figs, berries
and the thousands of other fruits?  Would fruits attr ac
t your eye, tantalize your sense of
smell, and be a gustatory delight in their raw natural ripe state?  Would you prefer any -
thing that occurs in nature to a juicy sweet watermelon?
59
FruiticultureMan has always had a love affair going
with fruits.  Even through all his perver -
sions, he has continued to relish fruits.  Fruits are the natur al f
ood of humans
and the only food category ideally suit -
ed to all their faculties.  This does not mean we should eat fruits totally and
e
xclusively in our present circumstances,
but it does mean that, in nature, that’s all we ate as attested to by anthropo -
logical evidence scientists have uncovered, notably Dr. Alan Walker of Johns Hopkins University.
Of c
ourse, you go for fruits in their raw state regardless of what else your acculturization
and circumstances dispose you to eat.  Your instincts are still alive and well despite per -
versions.  Many myths have been built around and about fruits.  As a fruitarian I can offer
a new dietary for those who say w e
’re not—their own words!
Nutritionists, so-called, are the creatures of training dictated by the meat, grain and milk trusts.  These trusts are part of the dominant commercial interests that dictate what will be taught in our educational institutions from universities down to kindergarten.  Nutritionists are trained like seals to parrot the propaganda which will induce the popu -
lace to consume their masters’ products, with the basic five food groups being one of the primary propaganda w eapons put a
t their disposal to serve their masters.  Of course,
there are renegade nutritionists and dietitians who have revolted against the basic four except for the fruit and vegetable category.  Most nutritionists are ashamed of the fifth food category and don’t even mention it though it is on the books along with the basic four.
The fifth category consists of what might broadly be termed “accessory foods” such as
oils, syrups, snack foods, sugars, wines, seasonings, jams, preserves, etc.  Even though we are admonished to eat from all five food categories daily by the framers of this scheme to peddle commercial products, nutritionists and dietitians are not keen on mouthing this part of the propaganda even though they include it liberally in their recipes.
60
FruiticultureWhile some nutritionists and dietitians praise fruits and vegetables, they still charac -
terize those who point out our biologically correct foods as faddists and nutritional
quacks.  Yet, ev
en in seminars, those who sharply question me must admit that, aestheti -
cally, they would eat little besides fruits in nature and that we humans are naturally fruitar ians.
All the cr it
eria heretofore cited as the requirements of our natural foods are amply met
by fruits. In short, they are replete with our nutrient requirements in practically the pro -
portions that we need them. We are biological symbionts of fruit-bearing plants, and in nature would ea t v
ery little besides fruits.  Despite all this, there’s no particular harm in
eating green leafy vegetables, stalks, stems and their fresh juices in the raw state.  Even some steaming or conservative cooking of tu -
bers, stalks, stems, roots, corms and selected legumes and g rains (pref er
ably sprouted), are
not sufficiently deleterious to seriously harm our health.  Of course, there are some toxic re -
sults from eating all this fare.  We’re better off without them.  Yet, I r epea
t, there is no great
harm in their consumption relative to what is suffered from conventional fare.
Dr. Bruce Ames of the University of California, Berkeley, has created a catalog of poi -
sons in vegetables and published an extensive article in the September 23, 1983 issue
of Science magazine.  No indic tmen
t of fruits as having toxic substances was made or
can be made.  Virtually every vegetable was indicted.  All were a part of the same study.  Humans are biologically equipped to handle most fruits.
When ripened, fruits accommodatingly convert their carbohydrate components into glu -
cose and fructose, simple sugars we can use without further digestion.  Their enzymes
conver t their pr
oteins into amino acids and their fats into fatty acids and glycerols.  Thus,
when we eat fruits, all we need do is savor their goodness.  The fruit portions, that is, mesocarps, were specifically compounded to attract biological symbionts.  Fruits meet their nutrient needs rather ideally with predigested nutrients. For humans, no other food compares with fruits in satisfying all needs including, of course, our requirement for deli -
61
Fruiticultureciously vibrant soul-exalting fare.
I’m sure that you will agree through your own senses that fruits would be your primary
food in a state of nature.
Are We Vegetarian?The average American understands the term vegetarian to mean an “eater of vegetables. ”
But, in reality a vegetarian is someone who eats only plant-derived foods.  This may in -
clude a preponderance of fruits but, in practice, it means anything and everything be -
sides animal products.
The word v egetable der
ives from the Latin vegetus, meaning lively, exciting or animated.
It does not mean specific types of foods other than those which enliven or sustain us in
an energetic mode.  Necessarily, by this definition, fruits are high-energy foods whereas vegetables are either low-energy foods or have drawbacks.  Typical present-day vegetari -
an fare includes grains, tubers, root, stalks, stems, leaves, nuts, seeds, fruits, legumes and about ev erything else that does not mo v
e, bleed, cry or resist acquisition.
Even though those who eat all fruits or a preponderance of them can correctly be called fruitarians, they may also be correctly called vegetarians.  Personally, my intake is mostly fruit.  I prefer to be called a fruitarian

 mother-father. Your
consciousness is the mother-father, there is no other cause in the world.
Your I Amness, your awareness, is this Moab or mother-father. You are al -
ways drawing something out of it.
The next word is Nebo. In your concordance Nebo is defined as a prophe -
cy. A prophecy is something subjective. If I say, “So-and-so will be,” it is
an image in the mind; it is not yet a fact. We must wait and either prove
or disprove this prophecy.
In our language Nebo is your wish, your desire. It is called a mountain
because it is something that appears difficult to ascend and is therefore
seemingly impossible of realization. A mountain is something bigger than
you are, it towers over you. Nebo personifies that which you want to be in
contrast to that which you are.
The word Pisgah, by definition, is to contemplate. Jericho is a fragrant
odor. And Gilead means the hills of witnesses. The last word is Dan the
Prophet.
Now put them all together in a practical sense and see what the ancients
tried to tell us. As I stand here, having discovered that my consciousness
is God, and that I can, by simply feeling that I am what I want to be,
transform myself into the likeness of that which I am assuming I am; I
know now that I am all that it takes to scale this mountain.
I define my objective. I do not call it Nebo. I call it my desire. Whatever I
want, that is my Nebo, that is my great mountain that I am going to
scale. I now begin to contemplate it, for I shall climb to the peak of Pis -
gah.
I must contemplate my objective in such a manner that I get the reaction
that satisfies. If I do not get the reaction that pleases then Jericho is not
seen, for Jericho is a fragrant odor.
When I feel that I am what I want to be I cannot suppress the joy that
comes with that feeling.
I must always contemplate my objective until I get the feeling of satisfac -
tion personified as Jericho. Then I do nothing to make it visible in my
world; for the hills of Gilead, meaning men, women, children, the whole
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenvast world round about me, come bearing witness. They come to testify
that I am what I have assumed myself to be, and am sustaining within
myself. When my world conforms to my assumption the prophecy is ful -
filled.
If I now know what I want to be, and assume that I am it, and walk as
though I were, I become it and becoming it I so completely die to my for -
mer concept of self that I cannot point to any place in this world and say:
that is where my former self is buried. I so completely died that I defy
posterity to ever find where I buried my old self.
There must be someone in this room who will so completely transform
himself in this world that his close immediate circle of friends will not rec -
ognize him.
For ten years I was a dancer, dancing in Broadway shows, in vaudeville,
night clubs and in Europe. There was a time in my life when I thought I
could not live without certain friends in my world. I would spread a table
every night after the theater and we would all dine well. I thought I could
never live without them. Now I confess I could not live with them. We
have nothing in common today. When we meet we do not purposely walk
on the opposite side of the street, but it is almost a cold meeting because
we have nothing to discuss. I so died to that life that as I meet these peo -
ple they cannot even talk of the old times.
But there are people living today who are still living in that state, getting
poorer and poorer. They always like to talk about the old times. They nev -
er buried that man at all, he is very much alive within their world.
Moses was 120 years, a full, wonderful age as 120 indicates. One plus two
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

In
Indian

of
Hindu
penitents,
where

is
practiced,
the
following
products
are
eaten:
rice
cakes,
boiled
vegetables,
a
small
amount
of
legumes,
sometimes
raw

and
raw

With
such

and
diseases
that

from.
They
are

For
example,
in
the
treatment
of

(inflammation

the
liver)
and
gallbladder
problems,
as
much
sweet

as
possible,
boiled

and

are
used.
So

to
dry

as

as
possible,
and
in
the

you'll
be

There
is
also
another
moment
when
using
different
treatment
products.
For
example,
by
using
a
decoction
of
wormwood
(preferably
as
an
enema),
its
dissolving
and
bactericidal
abilities
affect
the
entire
organism.
After
passing
through
your
body,
the
substances
of
wormwood,
together
with
dissolved
waste
and
destroyed
bacteria,
create
a
completely
new
substance,
which,
when
repeatedly
introduced
into
the
body,
will
have
a
selective
and
very
sensitive
effect
on

which

arose.
This

a
method
of

when

However,
the
effect
of
repeated

of

body
by

into
the

is
much
deeper
and
more

than

for

more

without

without

etc.
The
healing
abilities
of
such
urine
will
increase
considerably
and
it
can
also
be
used
to
treat
other
people.
If
you

hardly
anyone
will
recognize
that
it

Because
there

it
dissolves
and
expels
various
pathologies
from
the
body.
At
the
same
time,
the
urine
becomes
so
saturated
with
waste,
salts
and
other
substances
that
it
begins
to
be
excreted
through
the
anus
and
in
this
way
cleans
the
large
intestine
in
a
natural
way.
However,
when
the
deep
cleansing
is
completed
(this
is
in
about
20
days
if
you
have
under gone
a
colon
and
liver
cleanse
before),
the
urine
regains
its
normal
taste
properties.
Therefore,
depending
on
the
taste
of
the
urine,
the
time
of
the
end
of
the
fast
can
be
determined
quite
accurately.
However,
this
indicator
is
very
individual
and
everything
depends
only
on
the
fasting
person.
Also,
the
frequent
removal
of
dissolved
pollutants
with
an
enema
significantly
changes
the
quality
of
urine.
In
order
to
understand
the
importance
of
the
influence
of
thinking,
emotions
and
body
structure
on
our
health,
we
need
to
penetrate
deeper
into
the
human
organism.
According
to
the
latest
physics
research,
the
main
structural
level
today
is
not
a
molecule
or
an
atom,
but
a
quantum,
which
is
a
basic
unit
of
matter
or
energy
up
to
a
hundred
million
times
smaller
than
an
atom.
At
this
quantum
level,
matter
and
energy
become
interchangeable.
According
to
Vedic
philosophy,
the
polar
essence
of
man
is
formed
in
the
beginning,
which,
thanks
to
its
strong
but
invisible
vibrations,
forces
the
quanta
to
combine
into
atoms,
molecules
and
particles.
Current
research
at
the
Maharishi
Ayurveda
Institute
has
confirmed
these
claims
of
ancient
Indian
books.
The
polar
level
of
the
human
being
is
governed
by
thoughts,
feelings
and
moods.
At
the
quantum
level,
every
thought
creates
quantum
fluctuations,
waves,
which
eventually
transform
into
materialsubstances.
For
example,
fear
leads
to
the
release
of
adrenaline,
joy
to
the
creation
of
endorphins,
internal
opiates.
All
these
substances
have
different
effects
on
human
physiology.
They
also
naturally
enter
the
urine,
which
thereby
becomes
medicinal
or
"poisonous".
Practice
has
shown
that
harmful
substances
are
created
under
the
influence
of
worry,
anger
and
other
negative
emotions.
Urine
saturated
with
such
substances
can
cause
a
certain
degree
of
poisoning
when
reabsorbed.
A
happy
mood
saturates
urine
with
beneficial
substances,
and
therefore
its
repeated
intake
is
a
real
balm
for
body
and
soul.
It
is
no
coincidence
that
in
Shivambukalpa
all
those
interested
in
urine
therapy
are
advised
to
control
their
emotions.

	amino	acid	pool.	Occurrence	of	gallstones	in	the	bile	ducts	of	the	liver
increasingly	inhibits	this	important	function.	When	the	production	of	clotting	factors
drops,	platelet	count	drops,	too,	and	there	may	be	spontaneous	capillary	bleeding	or
hemorrhagic	disease.
	If	a	hemorrhage	occurs	in	the	brain,	it	may	cause	destruction	of
brain	tissue,	paralysis,	or	death.	The	severity	of	the	bleeding	may	be	determined	by	such
variable	triggers	as	hypertension	and	alcohol	abuse.	Platelet	counts	also	drop	when	the
production	of	new	cells	does	not	keep	pace	with	the	destruction	of	damaged	or	worn-out
cells;	this	occurs	when	gallstones	cut	off	the	blood	supply	to	the	liver	cells.

Vitamin	K	is	another	element	essential	for	the	synthesis	of	major	clotting	factors.	It	is	a
fat-soluble	vitamin	stored	in	the	liver.	To	absorb	fats	in	the	intestines,	the	body	requires
bile	salts	that	are	made	available	through	bile	secretions.	Gallstones	in	the	liver	and
gallbladder	obstruct	bile	flow,	which	leads	to	inadequate	fat	absorption	and	subsequent
vitamin	K	deficiency.

As	discussed	earlier,	gallstones	in	the	liver	can	lead	to	disorders	of	the	vascular	system.
When	the	blood	undergoes	changes	and	becomes	too	thick,	blood	vessels	begin	to	harden
and	become	damaged.	If	a	blood	clot	forms	in	an	injured	artery,	a	piece	of	that	blood	clot
(
embolus
)	may	lodge	in	a	small	artery	distant	from	the	injury	and	obstruct	the	blood	flow,
causing
ischemia
	and
infarction.
	If	the	infarction	occurs	in	a	brain	artery,	it	is	called	a
stroke.

All	circulatory	disturbances	affect	the	brain	and	the	rest	of	the	nervous	system.	The
disruption	of	liver	functions	particularly	affects
atrocytes
—cells	that	form	the	mainsupporting	tissue	of	the	central	nervous	system.	This	condition	is	characterized	by	apathy,
disorientation,	brain	fog,	delirium,	muscular	rigidity,	and	coma.	Nitrogenous	bacterial
waste	absorbed	from	the	colon,	unless	detoxified	by	the	liver,	may	reach	the	brain	cells	via
the	blood.	Other	metabolic	waste	products,	such	as	ammonia,	may	reach	toxic
concentrations	and	change	the	permeability	of	the	blood	vessels	in	the	brain,	thus	reducing
the	effectiveness	of	the	blood-brain	barrier.	This	may	permit	various	noxious	substances	to
enter	the	brain	and	cause	further	damage.	If	a	large	number	of	neurons	of	the	brain	no
longer	receive	enough	nourishment,	there	is	atrophy	of	neural	tissue,	which	leads	to
dementia
	or
Alzheimer’s	disease.
	When	a	certain	class	of	neurons	that	are	responsible	for
producing	the	brain	hormone	and	neurotransmitter
dopamine
	suffer	malnourishment,
Parkinson’s	disease
	results.	Repeated	exposure	to	certain	environmental	or	internally
produced	toxins	can	also	be	responsible.

Multiple	sclerosis	(MS)
	occurs	when	the	cells	that	produce
myelin
	(a	sheath	of	fatty
material	that	surrounds	most	axons	of	nerve	cells)	suffer	malnutrition	and	insufficient
lymph	drainage.	The	myelin	sheath	diminishes,	and	axons	become	injured.	MS	patients
always	suffer	from	progressive	congestion	in	the	large	intestine;	this	prevents	proper
nutrient	absorption.	Cleansing	the	eliminative	organs	and	improving	nutrition	are	among
the	most	powerful	ways	to	halt	and	possibly	reverse	MS.

The	liver	controls	the	digestion,	absorption,	and	metabolism	of	fatty	substances
throughout	the	body.	Gallstones	interfere	with	fat	metabolism	and	affect	cholesterol	levels
in	the	blood.	Cholesterol	is	an	essential	building	block	of	all	our	body	cells	and	is	needed
for	every	metabolic	process.	Our	brains	consist	of	more	than	10	percent	pure	cholesterol
(all	water	removed).	Cholesterol	is	important	for	brain	development	and	brain	function.	It
protects	the	nerves	against	damage	or	injury.	An	imbalance	of	blood	fats	can	profoundly
affect	the	nervous	system	and,	thereby,	cause	almost	any	type	of	illness	in	the	body.
Removing	gallstones	from	the	liver	and	gallbladder	increases	nutrient	supplies	to	all	the
cells,	thus	rejuvenating	the	nervous	system	and	improving	all	functions	in	the	body.
	Disorders	of	the	Bone

Although	bone	is	the	hardest	tissue	in	the	body,	it	is,	nevertheless,	very	much	alive.
Human	bone	consists	of	20	percent	water;	30-40	percent	organic	material,	such	as	living
cells;	and	40-50	percent	inorganic	material,	such	as	calcium.	Bone	tissue	contains	many
blood	and	lymph	vessels	and	nerves.	The	cells	responsible	for	balanced	bone	growth	are
osteoblasts
	and
osteoclasts
.	Osteoblasts	are	the	bone-forming	cells,	whereas	osteoclasts
are	responsible	for	resorption	of	bone	to	maintain	optimum	shape.	A	third	group	of	cells,
known	as
chondrocytes,
	are	in	charge	of	forming	cartilage.	The	less	dense	parts	of	the
bone,	called
cancellous	bone,
	contain	red	bone	marrow,	which	produces	red	and	white
blood	cells.

Most	bone	diseases	occur	when	bone	cells	no	longer	receive	enough	nourishment.
Gallstones	in	the	liver	usually	lead	to	lymph	congestion	in	the	intestinal	tract	and,
consequently,	in	other	parts	of	the	body	(see
Disorders	of	the	Circulatory	System
).	Good
bone	health	results	from	the	sustained	balance	between	the	functions	of	osteoblast	and
osteoclast	cells.	This	delicate	balance	becomes	disturbed	when	nutrient	supply	is	deficient
and	thereby	slows	the	production	of	new	bone	tissue	by	osteoblasts.
Osteoporosis
	results
when	the	amount	of	bone	tissue	is	reduced	because	the	growth	of	new	bone	does	not	keep
pace	with	the	destruction	of	old	bone.
Cancellous
	bone	is	usually	affected	before
compact
bone
	is.	Compact	bone	makes	up	the	outer	layer	of	the	bone.

In	generalized	osteoporosis,	excessive	calcium	is	reabsorbed	from	bone,	thereby	raising
the	calcium	levels	of	blood	and	urine.	This	may	predispose	a	person	to	form	stones	in	the
kidneys	and,	possibly,	suffer	renal	failure.	Gallstones	in	the	liver	substantially	reduce	bile
production.	Bile	is	essential	for	the	absorption	of	calcium	from	the	small	intestines.	Even
if	the	body	received	more	than	enough	calcium	foods	or	food	supplements,	a	shortage	of
bile	would	render	much	of	the	ingested	calcium	useless	for	bone	building	and	other
important	metabolic	processes.	In	addition,	the	presence	of	gallstones	in	the	liver	raises
the	level	of	harmful	acids	in	the	blood,	some	of	which	are	neutralized	by	calcium	leached
from	the	bones	and	teeth.	(Something	similar	happens	when	a	person	drinks	cow’s	milk.
To	neutralize	the	high	phosphorus	concentration	of	ingested	milk,	the	body	uses	not	only
the	milk’s	calcium	but	also	calcium	from	the	bones	and


) for the bones and teeth. There
is iodine for the thyroid gland, and so on. Our body must be supplied with every mineral and vitamin if health is to continue.
If, instead of giving quinine for chills or calomel to prod a
sluggish liver, the doctors would prescribe the right food in the place
of drugs for whatever deficiency the patient's impaired bodily
functioning (metabolism, the doctors  call it) indicated, I do believe,
they would get better results. I saved my life by this method. It works. This food medicine, according to my theory, would contain the
elements which the sick body needed to restore its upset balance, but
in the organic form which can be assimulated.
From the viewpoint of the man who feeds upon them, the great
function of plants is to take the inorganic minerals found in the soil
and turn them into organic minerals that the human body can
assimilate. That is true of the base minerals like calcium (lime),
nitrogen (protein), potash and phosph orus. It is equally true of iron,
copper, magnesium, boron, chlorine, fluorine and the other trace
minerals.
To my way of thinking, the organic minerals in grain, vegetables,
milk, meat and eggs—that nourish the bodily tissues and keep them
functioning—are the real source of rejuvination. But for maximum
benefits, those foods should be eate n in their natural state—both raw
and unrefined.

CHAPTER 15.

FOR ME LIFE BEGINS AT SIXTY
 Through 20-odd years preceding my 60th birthday, I was
constantly "enjoying poor health." I thought myself going down hill
all the time and, as it seemed to me, I stayed alive only by means of
sheer will to live. Though I told n obody, I never doubted for a moment
that I one day would regain my health.
As it turned out, I was well along toward my goal when I
emerged from that fast that Dr. B., Canyon naturopath, prescribed for
me. For the first time in years, I was free of the waste matter which
had clogged up my lower digestive tr act. My sores had healed and the
cause of my anemia, poor assimilation, had been removed. From then
on, it was just a matter of eating the food needed to rebuild my wasted
body and restore the lost balance to my bodily functioning.
My recovery was more rapid than I had reason to expect. Before
long, I would call myself a full man, once again. The 20-odd years
since I reached 60 have been the healthiest, most productive and
altogether the most enjoyable I have known. I have done this without
dieting in the ordinary sense. Day by day, I eat what I like, but you
know, reader, taste for health-building foods can be cultivated. I have learned to like unrefined foods right out of nature's garden. I take my
wheat ground up on my hand mill, bran shorts and all, soaked in raw
whole milk. Both are produced on Deaf Smith County's completely
fertile soil. Together the wheat and the milk contain about all the
elements that my body needs. I could live on the two, but I like
variety. So, day by day, I eat whatever my garden or the market can
supply me, — carrots, mustard greens, lettuce, raw cabbage, baked
potatoes with the jackets on; grapes, peaches, apples or whatever fruit
happens to be in season—or, better still, whatever can be had out of
my quick-freeze plant.
It does not matter so much what the foodstuff is—so long as it is
eaten unrefined. Where practical, the stuff is better eaten raw. I have my doubts whether much vitamin value survives cooking. For my use,
pasteurizing spoils milk completely. I suspect that the 145-degree heat
kills off vitamins and disorganizes the mineral values so that it has
little food value left.
Yes, reader, I eat a little meat, not too much. Sometimes I take
that raw. I will grind steak up fine and mix it with chopped-up
cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, toma toes or whatever vegetables I
happen to have handy. A mixture like that, with a little olive oil or
vinegar on it, disguises the meat so effectively that you hardly realize
it is there. The whole concoction ta stes good and it is easy on your
digestion. When I was fighting anemia all those years, a diet of raw liver
mixed with raw vegetables, and supplemented with raw milk, would
have prevented my illness and set me on my feet again, I suspect.
Some black hull wheat from Deaf Smith County, ground up whole,
soaked in milk produced on high plain pastures, undoubtedly would
have speeded my recovery. This no doubt would have satisfied my
hunger and prevented anemia due to over eating of demineralized
food.
Along with this natural diet, I get plenty of outdoor exercise.
Usually I walk where I want to go around town. This is just about my
whole secret of keeping young, though the calendar says I am 82 years
old. So whenever my doctor checks me over he finds all my organs
sound and functioning normally. Only  a few short months ago I had a
two-day check-up at the local clinic. The report which came to me was
typical:
"We found no evidence of age. Organs and body tissue normal."
Since I have back my physical health, my mental activity has
picked up. As I lie abed by night I am so besieged with thoughts and
visions that nothing will do but I must get out of bed and write down what has come to me. Mostly in that manner, I have accumulated papers enough to make several books.
Reader, I often feel like I am a boy again. For I find the visions
which come to me as fascinating as new toys at Christmas. When I
consulted a psychologist in whom I was interested about this second
childhood of mine, he answered me, as it seemed, bluntly:
"Mentally you have no age."
On due reflection, I can believe that.

CHAPTER 16.

I DISCOVERED THE TOWN WITHOUT A
TOOTHACHE

Before I had practiced dentistry in Hereford very long the truth
began to dawn upon me that I was in a different sort of country from what I had known before.
When I moved there in 1916, Deaf Smith County was mostly
grassland. Nearly everybody made a living by raising cattle. Until two or three years before that nobody had thought of tapping the shallow
water table for irrigating truck farm s. Except for scattered seedlings,
that ranchers had planted, there wa s hardly a tree in sight. But the
grass was luxuriant and kept the cattle fat.
At first I wondered why so few people came in to get their teeth
fixed. My toothache patients were few and far between. Now, in
Albertville, Alabama, where I prac ticed for 17 years, everybody
suffered from tooth decay. So I was always swamped with patients. I constantly worked overtime filling cavities.
By contrast, in Hereford only a few people needed filling. The
typical patient would have only two or three decayed spots in his
mouthful of teeth. He had none between his teeth, where I had found
most cavities in my Alabama patients' mouths. In Albertville, I was extracting teeth almost every day. In Hereford, except for wisdom
teeth about the only extracting I ha d to do was for older persons who
wanted false teeth. Pyorrhea, not decay, had ruined their natural teeth.
Indeed, there was so little business fo r a dentist in Hereford, I decided
I would have to find a new location or starve.
So, when I would go up to the district convention in Amarillo
every year I would make a point of asking some fellow practitioner from the Panhandle, Oklahoma or New Mexico:
"Doctor, do you know of a good location that is open? Why
down at Hereford I hardly get enough business to keep going. If it
wasn't for putting in dentures for elderly pyorrhea patients, I'd have to
close up shop."
"But, Dr. H—," the dentist would answer, "You are in one of the
best dental towns in this part of the country."
One time, when I asked Dr. G. of Tucumcari, New Mexico, that
question, he promptly offered to trade places with me. We didn't
follow through, however. Dr. G. is still practicing in the same spot and, from what I hear, doing all right. When I located here, Deaf Smith County was newly-settled. Few
families had lived there for long. The country roundabout Hereford
was all cow pasture. I had my office in a building that stood in a
pasture when it was first built. Se emingly everybody had grassfed
beefs to kill and eat. About half the families kept at least one cow
each. Cowmen as a rule do not like dairy cows.
To begin with my natural-born curiosity had set me to searching
out the reasons why so few people in the Hereford country came in to
get their teeth fixed

New Concepts in Nutrition, Health and Rapid Healing of Illness
(The Basic Keys to Complete Success in These)

"All healing and regeneration is in ratio to the amount of energy which is available - the more energy, the
more detoxicating healing." "For men who had difficulties in erection during sex - the empty stomach
concept proved to be a miracle." "I always advised college students to omit all food before exams... "

This important article explains the energy principle in healing - a clarifying summary by Dr. Bass, of the findings of leading
Natural Hygienists over more than a century.
It also shows the continuing development of the hygienic diet based on these principles - and most recently the essential role of
Dr. Gian -Cursio, who came to question the so -called truths of the then -popular Natural Hygiene vegan diet, due to problems
with his patients.
Find an optim al vegetarian diet plan according to Dr. Cursio here - cursio.html.
- It is worth noting that Dr. Gian -Cursio was condemned, and removed from IAHP, the hygienic doctors' organization. (That
veganism could create problems was, and still is, controversial.) Even today Dr. Cursio's results are quite unknown among
hygienists.

PART 1

In 1962, I was requested by Dr. Herbert M. Shelton of     The Hygienic Review   to interview Dr. Christopher GianCursio, who had
taken care of 3 generations of Natural Hygienic pat ients in upstate New York. Dr. Shelton wanted to know the present condition
 copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.drbass.com                                               55

of the vegetarian families, to be published as an article in his monthly        Hygienic Review   magazine.
On Sept. 2, 1962, Dr. Cursio and I drove to Batavia, New York, where we were lodged at the home of gracious Mr. and Mrs.
Penepent, which became a foc al point for the reception of about 20 people the first evening, followed by additional patients on
two following days. The results were recorded by me, written up and sent to Dr. Shelton. For reasons unknown, most probably
due to the somewhat radical changes Dr. Cursio introduced into the nutrition of his patients (beginning in 1934 and continuing
through 1962), the interview was not published.

I didn't hear from Dr. Shelton thereafter until Sept. 28th, 1976, a lapse of 14 years.
Now once again he wro te to me requesting me to reinterview Dr. Cursio's patients, bringing all the changes which had occurred
up-to-date. The following is a reproduction of the letter Dr. Shelton sent to me:
Tuesday Sept. 28, 1976  Dear Dr. Bass:I have read your interesting ar tide on Three Generations of Vegetarian Hygienists and
am inclined to want to publish it, but too much time has elapsed since your visit to upstate New York with Chris, and much
water has flowed under the bridge since then. As a finale, why not provide me with a couple of pages telling me and the readers
the present condition of the vegetarian families and also outline the changes in Cursio's dietetic use and practices which he
now espouses. I will hold your article awaiting your reply. With best wishes, I remain sincerely and Hygienically yours, H. M.
Shelton

I responded with the following letter to Dr. Shelton:
Oct. 14, 1976  Dear Dr. Shelton:In order to comply with your request of bringing the article up -to-date, I called and visited Dr.
Cursio on Octobe r 10, 1976. He placed a call to Batavia, New York and put me in touch with Anthony Penepent, a member of
the second generation of natural hygienists of the Penepent family, with whom I spoke at length. He provided me with the
following information about th e changes which have occurred with the Penepent family since I first met them on Sept. 2, 1962.
Stanley S. Bass
(Further details are available in “With Three Generations of Vegetarian Hygienists” - free download.)

In Dr. Shelton's letter to me of Sept. 28, 1976, along with a description of the vegetarian families, Dr. Shelton asked me to
outline the changes in the dietetic views and practices which Cursio now espouses. The following was gleaned from Dr. Cursio,
the result of advising over 40 people through out three generations. I quote from p. 9 and 10 in my book            With Three Generations
of Vegetarian Hygienists
I found that Dr. Cursio's ideas are basically those of Natural Hygiene. In an article which he wrote and submitted to Dr. She lton
years ago entitled "Precision in Natural Hygiene," he extended these concepts into clinical practice - his concepts were merely a
modification based upon Natural Hygiene principles. They had to do with the quality, quantity, timing, and sequence of eating.

Basically, I saw that there was no difference between what Dr. Gian -Cursio advocates and what a true Natural Hygienic
practitioner would advocate - but with this exception:
The concepts, theories, or principles upon which Natural Hygiene is based are accep ted as eternal and inviolable. The
difference was in the application or interpretation of these principles and the quantitative utilization or accentuation of s ome of
these hygienic concepts.
The people that I wrote about involved a period which began in 1 935. Shortly after these people accepted natural hygiene as a
way of life, Dr. Herbert M. Shelton lectured in Rochester, New York
At that time, he met these people as well as the grandparents of these three generations. These people have been Natural
Hygie nists from the very early days of the renaissance of Natural Hygiene. (It began with the writing of Dr. Shelton's book
Human Life: Its Philosophy and Laws.)
The term Natural Hygiene came into usage after Dr. Shelton and Dr. Gian -Cursio met, when they discu ssed an appropriate
term to distinguish it from medical hygiene.

In these three generations, we have here a laboratory of the highest biotic quality that has been continuing for 42 years,
producing evidence of the great value of Natural Hygiene, when its principles are translated into techniques of life that are
compatible with physiological laws. These three generations are now expanding into four, yet in all this time there has not b een
one death. Also, except for acute remedial processes of a few days d uration, there has not been a chronic disease. Many
vestiges of chronic disorders have been eliminating during this time as these individuals progressed or evolved into higher
plateaus of health.
The modifications that have been made in technique in applyi ng the principles of Natural Hygiene are based on a simple
principle: that there be economy of body structure and energy - that in every agent, method, and condition there be maximal
utilization with minimal expenditure of power - so that there be enough energy left over that the body can use for healing
purposes.

Dr. Gian -Cursio has kept

containing	these	and	other	harmful	toxins.	Some	exposure	is	virtually
unavoidable,	but	most	exposure	is	a	choice.	We	have	to	start	making	different
everyday	choices	about	what	we	put	on	and	in	our	bodies	and	what	we	exposeourselves	to	in	the	workplace.	What	we	eat,	wear	and	bring	into	our	homes—and
the	personal	care	products	that	we	use—are	under	our	direct	control.	We	need	to
change	our	perspective	that	small	amounts	of	toxins	are	safe;	we	need	to
recognize	that	small	amounts	of	toxins	can	build	up	in	our	bodies	over	time.
Most	Americans	are	now	accumulating	hundreds	of	man-made	chemicals	in
their	bodies,	and	yet	we	wonder	why	we	get	sick.
An	Active	Life	Versus	Sedentary	Sickness
Human	genes	evolved	at	a	time	when	a	high	level	of	physical	activity	was	the
norm.	All	through	the	course	of	evolution,	man	had	to	be	physically	active	in
order	to	survive.	Our	hunter-gatherer	ancestors	were	nomadic	peoples	who	were
always	on	the	move,	always	foraging	for	food	or	drink.	Because	of	the	way	we
evolved,	the	human	body	actually	requires	a	high	level	of	physical	activity	in
order	to	function	normally.	Until	fairly	recently	this	activity	requirement	was
met	by	leading	a	normal	lifestyle	and	producing	life’s	necessities.	From
prehistoric	times	up	until	the	last	century,	people	spent	the	vast	majority	of	their
physical	energy—hard,	daily	labor—just	trying	to	produce	food,	shelter	and
clothing.	Today	we	are	the	most	sedentary	people	in	history.	To	achieve	health,
we	must	change	our	perspective	that	we	can	be	both	sedentary	and	healthy.
Fortunately,	for	all	you	couch	potatoes	out	there,	a	simple	way	is	available	to
address	this	problem:	rebounding.	See	appendix	C	for	more	information.
The	Future	Is	Now
After	bringing	myself	back	from	the	brink	of	death	and	restoring	my	health,
and	after	more	than	sixteen	years	of	study	and	experimentation,	I	have
concluded	that	the	only	way	our	society	will	stop	its	slide	into	declining	health	is
to	change	our	beliefs	about	health	and	disease.	The	next	major	advance	in	health
care	will	be	driven	by	those	people	who	accept	personal	responsibility	for	their
health,	educate	themselves	and	make	choices	that	move	their	personal	health
equations	away	from	disease	and	toward	health.
When	a	large	number	of	people	look	at	something	in	the	same	way,	we	call
that	system	of	belief	a	paradigm.	Paradigms	become	accepted	wisdom,	and	we
interpret	our	lives	and	make	our	decisions	according	to	that	conventional
thinking.	I	ask	you	to	reconsider	accepted	wisdom	and	conventional	thinking
about	health,	disease	and	medicine.	Reconsider	whether	the	beliefs	that	guide
your	life	are	effective	in	solving	your	problems.	Reconsider	whether	the
decisions	you	make	about	your	health—from	foods	to	drugs	to	doctors—bringyou	health	and	happiness.	Reconsider	whether	you	are	missing	out	on
tremendous	opportunities	to	be	well	and	to	live	a	longer,	more	vigorous	life	than
you	ever	imagined.
Today,	most	of	us,	and	almost	all	of	our	physicians,	are	living	in	a	cave	of
confusion	and	misunderstanding.	The	medical	establishment	wins	honors,	praise
and	prizes	for	its	descriptions	of	diseases	and	how	to	manage	symptoms.	Yet	this
health	paradigm—this	distorted	way	of	viewing	health—	is	not	solving	our
problems.
If	we	are	taught	that	thousands	of	diseases	exist,	then	of	course	we	must	go	to
doctors	for	all	our	health	problems;	only	the	doctor	has	the	education	to	deal
with	all	the	different	diseases	and	their	treatments.	The	new	perspective	I	offer
you	is	that	there	is	only	one	disease;	health	is	then	easier	to	understand,	and	the
power	to	get	healthy	and	to	stay	healthy	lies	within	yourself.	Aside	from	medical
emergencies,	which	are	indeed	matters	for	trained	professionals,	maintaining
your	health	is	a	matter	of	preventing	deficiency	and	toxicity	and	requires	little	or
no	outside	assistance.
We	like	to	think	of	ourselves	as	so	technologically	advanced,	so	smart,	so
sophisticated	.	.	.	able	to	invent	computers,	land	on	the	moon	and	build	space
stations.	Yet	people	we	consider	primitive	lived	much	longer	and	healthier	lives
than	we	do.	By	optimizing	their	six	pathways	and	minimizing	the	two	causes	of
disease,	these	populations	showed	us	that	the	potential	for	human	health	is
extraordinary.	These	people	did	not	suffer	from	the	chronic	and	degenerative
diseases	that	are	the	norm	in	our	society;	in	fact	they	rarely,	if	ever,	suffered
from	the	common	cold.
A	massive	misconception	in	America	is	that	most	of	us	are	healthy.	In	reality,
most	of	us	are	sick.	You	don’t	have	to	look	sick	to	be	sick.	We	are	living	proof
that	it	is	entirely	possible	to	achieve	normal	growth	rates	and	have	a	healthy
appearance	while	being	undernourished	and	in	a	state	of	compromised	health.
Our	unprecedented	epidemic	of	chronic	and	degenerative	disease	is	clearly	the
result	of	eating	a	diet	consisting	of	adulterated	and	devitalized	foods;	exposure	to
the	lethal	effects	of	polluted	air,	water	and	food;	and	exposure	to	manmade
electromagnetic	radiation.	Yet,	as	a	society,	we	have	failed	to	come	to	grips	with
this	reality,	partially	because	we	are	still	stuck	in	the	obsolete	medical	paradigm
of	the	“germs	and	genes	theory”	of	disease,	and	partially	because	powerful
economic	incentives	exist	to	maintain	the	status	quo.
Do	we	think	we	can	continue	to	eat	nutritionally	deficient	diets,	diets	rich	in
make-believe	foods	made	from	sugar,	white	flour	and	processed	oils,	diets	that
will	not	even	sustain	healthy	life	in	rats,	and	still	be	healthy?	Can	we	continue	tolive	sedentary	lifestyles	when	we	know	that	physical	activity	is	absolutely
essential	to	health?	Can	we	continue	to	use	products	that	poison	us	with	toxins
that	bioaccumulate	in	our	tissues	and	cause	cellular	malfunction?	Can	we
support	wellness	without	learning	stress-management	techniques?	Can	we

End of quote.
When cravings are still strong even after you finished your one meal, or when
you want to relax and enjoy something, instead of food or drink (apart from orin)
then vape cannabis soon after your meal. Never smoke anything, the high
temperatures are very bad for your lungs, but vaping can be good for you if done
the correct way. I’m not talking about the harmful vapes e-cigarettes with nasty
chemicals, I’m talking about real pure cannabis vaping or juicing.
Animals eat it, Dopes smoke it, the enlightened juice or vape it.
Vaporization with cannabis is a technology designed to deliver cannabinoids
while at the same time avoiding the hazards of smoking by heating cannabis.
You still produce therapeutically active cannabinoid, but below the point of
combustion where noxious pyrolytic byproducts are formed.
Smoke is bad and causes deadly symptoms in the lungs and respiratory system.
Burning cannabis (or anything for that matter) creates smoke, which contain
toxic carcinogens harmful to the lungs. Vaporizers, in a nutshell, extract the
moisture in the cannabinoids by heating them, thus creating a vapor that can be
inhaled. The essential elements of the plant (THC) are consumed and nothing
else. Vaporizing makes for more flavorful taste, and creates very little smell. No
(second-hand) smoke is released into the atmosphere.
But remember, It does need to be processed by the body so do it inside or at
least very near to your eating window unless on splurge days when you can have
some alcohol as well. If you do something that needs to be processed by the
body while on OMAD but at a different time to your eating window, then you won't get the 2000% increase in beneficial hormones in your elixir of life. So
vape your cannabis just after your one meal and one drink. Then collect all your
water of life for the next morning. Some of the excess beneficial substances in
the cannabis will be in your elixir of life.
Same with any special mushrooms you consume. This is why shamen often get
others to eat the special shrooms and they then drink their urine. The bad stuff
gets taken out and all the good stuff goes to the water of life. Its far better to
drink orin from somebody who has eaten magic mushrooms than to eat them
yourself. The good things that the body decides are good for you go into the orin,
and the toxic parts that make you sick go out of the excretion channels.
Interestingly THC in good quality cannabis is decided by the liver to go to the
excretion channels so hardly any is in your orin, only homeopathic amounts. But
many other good things in the cannabis are decided by your body to be good for
it and are not filtered out of the blood to be excreted but go on in the clean blood
to go into your orin.
To say your fasting 23:1 on omad isn’t really true. If you swallow your last
mouthful at 6pm on the dot, it doesn’t mean you are immediately in a fasted
state right then. For the next hour or two you will be digesting what you have
just eaten. You will still hopefully be in a fasted state for more than about 20hrs.
So vaping your good quality weed for a few hours after your one meal is
absolutely fine. This doesn’t need to be digested as the same as what you
swallow. You are not taking your body out of a fasted state immediately after
your one hour eating window, because your body isn’t in a fasted state right
after. This is why I like to vape some good quality pure weed sometimes right
after my one meal.
So by vaping good quality cannabis right after your one meal, you are not
prolonging the time that your body is not a fasted state. It’s not the same as
eating something. Your body will be processing it while you are resting to digest
your one meal anyway.
Take home point, whatever you are taking or consuming, your liver will take out
anything the body decides is bad for you and sends all that the body decides is
good for you to your orin. So whatever you take or use, you can get the benefits
again and again by looping your water of life. If you are on medication then you
may find you need less and less of it as you loop your orin. You hopefully will be
able to get off all medications eventually depending on your situation. At the
very least you will be able to cut down, if not cut right out altogether; depending
on what you are taking and how much makes it through the liver and is in your
water life.
Chapter 9
This is perhaps the most important part of the protocol that needs to be
understood. You will get even more enjoyment out of life, than you did before
starting omad orin looping. This will increase the quality of your orin which means you get even more enjoyment out of it and then it gets even better again
and son on. The Bible says that a joyful heart is the best medicine, and applying
this protocol means you get much more joy out of eating than you did before you
started omad orin looping. The happier you are (as well as your diet and other
factors) the better quality your orin will be. This is key. You need to meditate on
this fact.
Don't worry if your orin is still unpleasant, this is the case with most people
nowadays. Mine used to be yucky before I cleaned my body with omad orin
looping.
My long term overall goal is to improve my orin to be the best it could ever be,
which means improve myself to be the best version of myself.
To say your goal is to improve yourself is the same as saying you want to
improve your orin. It is liquid you.
Your orin is liquid you, this is why the medical industry values orin so highly, they
can tell everything they want about you from your liquid version of you. It's a
snapshot of you.
My personal goal is to increase the quality of myself in every way. How can I tell
I'm doing well? By the quality of my liquid self.
Everything I do, everything  I feel and most importantly everything I consume
mentally and physically will affect how much I improve my liquid me.
The end goal is high quality orin, which is the exact same as saying high quality
you.
If your urine is unpleasant and yucky then there is something wrong. Get
yourself clean so your liquid you is beautiful again, just as it was when you were
a baby.
Remember it's a cocktail of the ingredients you put into it. Everything I consume,
before I put it in my mouth I think carefully how it will affect my liquid me.
You can ruin an otherwise truly great cocktail by putting something bad in there.
It's the same with your liquid you. If you put in mostly raw, plant based fruit, veg,
nuts and sprouted seeds the quality goes up.
If you put in processed foods, trans fats, msg, preservatives, colours and agents
then you lower the quality of your liquid self.
When you constantly loop and drink yourself you have a clear picture of how
you’re doing throughout the day.
If you consume or do something that's bad for you then your liquid you will soon
show you that the quality of your liquid you had gone down so you can avoid that
in the future.Two key points to remember are the happier you are the better quality your orin
will be. The second is that what you consume will be ingredients in your blood
plasma. Choose foods that you enjoy that increase the quality of you and your
orin. Fruit and plant based are best, but you can find many other foods that
produce good quality orin for you and that increase your enjoyment and
happiness which in turn increase the quality of your orin even more.
Omad orin looping will bring more joy and happiness to your life, the longer you
do it the more benefits you will see. The secret is from waiting all day, even if
cravings are very very strong then say to yourself out loud, I'm going to eat this
later and enjoy it a hundred times as much.
The truth is you can get far more enjoyment out of food than you did before
starting this protocol.
If you fail to show self-control and break then don't give up. Use it as a learning
experience. If you look back and feel regret for breaking omad, you probably feel
it wasn't as enjoyable as you thought it would be. But if you waited for your
eating window then you would have enjoyed it twice as much, and then you feel
really good about yourself. Remember a joyful heart is the best medicine.
If you decide to call it a spurge day then you will get tenfold the enjoyment
without feeling bad. I start looking forward to planned splurge days, several days
in advance. The excitement building as I get closer.
You can have as many splurge/cheat days as you like as long as you have at
least a 48hr fast later in the week for every one splurge day to make up for it. Or
you can have a few 48hrs fasts before your planned splurge days. So that you
make sure you eat less than 365 times in a year.
In fact splurge days are an important part of the protocol. When losing weight
you may hit a Platoa.


 nothing outside ordinary reality to hold things and
events together, then one is led to a set of impossibilities.
We can see this in the law of gravity. Common sense says
that two objects separate d by empty space should have no
connection with each other; in the jargon of physics, they
occupy their own “local  reality.” But the Earth revolves
around the sun, held in its orbit by gravity, even though the
two bodies are separate d by a void of 93 million miles.
When he discovered this violation of local reality, Newton
was shocked and refused to speculate on how it happens.
Since then, local reality has taken one beating after
another. Light, radio waves, lasers, and all other
electromagnetic forces travel through empty space; matter
and antimatter seem to exist in coordinated universes that
have no physical contact; subatomic particles have spins
that are matched to one another, and it doesn’t matter how
far apart in time and space the particles are—their spins
can be matched at opposite ends of the universe.
What this implies is that the commonsense idea of local
reality is true only at a certain level. The whole of reality, as
explained by quantum physics, lies deeper. A famous
mathematical formula, known as Bell’s theorem (after its
author, the Irish physicist John Bell), holds that the reality
of the universe must be nonlocal; in other words, all objects
and events in the cosmos are inter-connected with one
another and respond to one another’s changes of state.
Bell’s theorem was formulated in 1964, but decades earlier,
the great English astron omer Sir Arthur Eddin gton had
anticipated inter-connec tedness by saying, “When the
electron vibrates, the universe shakes.” Physicists now
accept inter- connectedness as a ruling principle, along with
many forms of symmetry that extend across the universe—for example, it is theorized that every black hole may be
matched up somewhere with a corresponding “white hole,”
though none has actually been observed.
What kind of explanation would satisfy Bell’s requi rement
for a totally inter-connected, nonlocal reality? It would have
to be a quantum explana tion, because if gravity is present
everywhere at the same  time, if black holes know what
white holes are doing, and if a change of spin in one
particle causes an equal but opposite change instantly in its
partner somewhere in outer space, it is obvious that the
information going from one place to the other is traveling
faster than the speed of light. This is not permitted in
ordinary reality, either by Newton or Einstein.
Contemporary theorists such as British physicist, David
Bohm, who has worked extensively with the implications of
Bell’s theorem, have had to suppose that there is an
“invisible ﬁeld” that holds all of reality together, a ﬁeld that
possesses the property of knowing what is happening
everywhere at once. (The word invisible  here means not
just invisible to the eye but undetectable by any measuring
instrument.) Without going deeper into these speculations,
you can see that the invisible ﬁeld sounds very much like
the underlying intelligence in DNA, and both behave very
much like the mind. The mind has the property of holding
all our ideas in place, in a silent reservoir so to speak,
where they are precisely organized into concepts and
categories.
Without calling it “thinking,” we may be watching nature
think through many diﬀerent channels, of which our minds
are one of the most privileged, because the mind can create
its quantum reality and experience it at the same time.
Witnessing a quantum event in the ﬁeld of light waves may
seem completely objective, but what if quantum reality was
just as present in our own thoughts, emotions, and desires?
Eddington once ﬂatly stated his belief as a physicist that“the stuﬀ of the world is mind-stuﬀ.” So the quantum
mechanical body, as a formation of intelligence, has a
plausible place in nonlocal reality.
The beauty of such a simple picture is that intelligence is
simple; the complications arise when one tries to track
down the incredibly complex machinery of the mind-body
system. The brain-wave patterns of a psychotic and a poet
look the same on a roll of EEG paper as it come s oﬀ the
electroencephalograph, no matter how sophisticated the
analysis. Thinking about the thousands of hours it would
take to scientiﬁcally describe the chemical conseq uences of
one cell’s daily life, a neuroscientist friend of mine
remarked, “You have to conclude that nature is intelligent
because it’s too complicated to be called anything else.”
He could just as easily have said “too simple.” A human
brain that changes its thoughts into thousands of chemicals
every second  is, after all, not so much complicated as
inconceivable. In ancient India, it was supposed that
intelligence existed everywhere; it was called Brahman,
from the Sanskrit word  for “big,” and was just like an
invisible ﬁeld. A saying from thousands of years ago holds
that a man who has not found Brahman is like a thirsty ﬁsh
who has not found water.
Our whole physiology can be transformed as quick ly as a
neuropeptide, which is an integral part of the quantum
mechanical body. Because we can change like quicksilver,
the ﬂowing quality of life is natural to us. The material body
is a river of atoms, the mind is a river of thought, and what
holds them together is a river of intelligence.
—
It may seem that the quantum mechanical body is involved
only in life-or-death situations, but that isn’t so. We live in
it, casually and without thinking, just as we live in the bodyas a whole. I have a patient who glimpsed this fact while
sitting on the grass eating French bread and listening to
Mozart. She had been a frustrating case for more than two
years. She suﬀered from a combination of nagging
symptoms, including irritable bowel, headaches, fatigue,
insomnia, and depression, that humbled every attempt to
cure her. None of these conditions was fatal, but they made
her life miserable nonetheless. Conventional treatment
with anti-depressants and tranquilizers had done her little
good; neither had anything I did using A yurveda.
Then one day she went to Tanglewood, the summer home
of the Boston Symphony  and an idyllic place to have a
picnic. She spread out a check ered cloth, lay in the sun
listening to music, and peacefully ate her lunch. These
things made  her very happy, and that night she slept
soundly for the ﬁrst time in years. However, she was so
used to being sick that this new event did not register on
her. Another year of misery passed, until it was time for her
to go to Tanglewood again, and the same thing happened—
all her symptoms disapp eared for the day, and she slept
beautifully that night.
This time it registered. She came to see me jubilantly
waving a sheaf of reprints from medical journa ls on the
SAD syndrome. The initials stand for “seasonal aﬀective
disorder,” referring to a condition in which patients become
seriously depressed every winter without appare nt cause.
Now we know that the cause has to do with the pineal
organ, deep inside the skull; this small, ﬂat, oval endocrine
gland, although surrounded by brain matter, responds to
changes in sunlight, being the source of the “third eye”
that everyon e wants to look through in the New Age (some
lower animal s such as the lamprey do possess a literal third
eye). In certain people, insuﬀicient exposure to sunlight in
the winter throws oﬀ their pineal secretions; the glandstarts to produce too much of a hormone called melatonin,
giving rise to depression.
“See,” she said, “I’ve had SAD all along, and by sitting in
the sun, I’ve got a normal pineal gland again.”
“I’m sorry,” I said, “but that disorder occurs in winter.”
Her face started to fall, and I quickly added, “You’ve put
your ﬁnger on something  important, though. Now we have
a deﬁciency we can treat.”
“What’s that?” she asked.
“Picnic deﬁciency,” I said. For the ﬁrst time since  I’d
known her, she ﬂashed me a genuine smile.
Her self-trea tment continues to work. She regularly
escapes the gray conﬁnes of her oﬀice building to sit in the
sun at lunch, talk to friends, and listen to lots of Mozart.
This may not sound like advanced medicine, and in a sense
it isn’t, but the reason it works is that we need Nature to
free up our nature. We are surrounded by the best of all
healing inﬂue nces—fresh air, sunlight, and beauty. In India,
the Hippocrates of Ayurveda, a great physician and sage
named Charaka, prescribed some sunlight for all diseases,
along with a walk in the early morning, and his advice will
never grow stale.

straight and are held at the sides of the body, and the head is in an
upright position as in the first position of the Turtle Exercise.
2. Begin by exhaling the breath to complet ely empty the lungs.
3. Now drop the head back and begin to inhale slowly. As you
inhale, expand the chest and bring the arms up away from the sides of
your body so that you bring the hands together up over your head wit h
the palms together. (Do not strain during any of these movements. If
it is impossible to touch the hands together comfortably, simply raise
the hands as far as they will go and stop there.) As you bring the arms
up over the head, feel as if you are bringing in the active (yang) energy
of the universe (or white smoke) into your lungs, body, and mind.

4. After you have inhaled a full breath, and while still keeping the
anns held over your head, hold the breath in, lock your anal muscles
and relax in this pose for as long as you can wit hout strain. Feel as if
the white smoke is coming up to comple tely penetrate every space
inside the mind. Feel the energy circulate around within your bod y
and your mind, knowing that it is beginning to wash away all of your
negative thoughts.
5. Next, as you slowly begin to exhale, bring the head forward and
separate the hands. Keeping the arms straight, move them back down
to your sides. As your hands move in the downwar d arc, try to feel the
passive (yin) energy from the earth (cool breezes) com e into the arms
through your fingers. This exercise is symbolic of embracing the
entire universe so that one achieves a feeling of oneness from uniting
the earthly passive energy with the active, heavenly energy. As you
continue to exhale, feel the smoke leave, leaving behind a clean and
clear feeling.
6. When you have finished exhaling, repeat the breathi ng and ann
movement sequence a minimum of seven times or until you feel like
stopping.
NOTE: It is refreshing to practice this exercise out of doors in the
sunshine, gathering the fresh air into the body. As you perform the
ann movem ents, feel as if you are reaching out to touch the clouds and
the sky.

Immortal Breathing:
Small and Large
Heavenly Cycles
There are two special mer idians surr ounding the Seven Gla nds System.
One is called the Jen- Mo Concept ion Merid ian, and the other is called the
Tu-Mo Govern ing Mer idian. They are the only two merid ians whose
energy flows can be cha nged. If we chang e them we will bring about
prof ound changes in the seven glands which will immort alize our bodi es.
The seven glands of the human body are responsi ble for cont rolling all of
the bodily functions. As mentioned earl ier, they mutual ly balance and are
interconnect ed with one anothe r. They ener gize, recharge, and help circu
late energy in the body, and may be likened to electrical transfonners or
generators or stor ehous es of ener gy within the human body. When the
energy within the Seven Gla nds System is elevated to a higher frequency by
the body, the entire body will be brought to a perf ect or spiri tual orde r.
Before undert aking the Imm ortal Breath ing, it is necessar y that you have
already achieved sufficient expertis e in the syst em of Internal Exer cises so
that the body is in a balanced state of health without any serious or chronic Immortal Breath ing: Small and Large Hea venl y Cycles
ailments. It is impossible to practice the final stages of the breathing
exercises if there are any blockages in the meridian pathways. The Merid
ian Meditation and the other Internal Exercises are therefore necessary
prerequisites for opening up the meridians and preparing the body for
receiving the Immortal Breath.
The human body is an electrical system. It is capable of carrying a load of
electricity through it only as strong as the resistance of the nerves and
glands are to that electrical current. The stronger the body is physically, the
greater the curre nt load of electricity it will be able to handle.

Figure I 02. Schematic Represe ntation of the Path of Energy Flow.
Immortal Breathing brings into the body very powerful levels of energy,
and if the body is not sufficiently strong to handle it, the nerves and glands
may "bum out" from an overload of energy. It has been said that many
people who suffer from extreme mental conditions are that way only
because they are unable to handle the energy levels flowing within their
bodies. Unfortunately, if one experien ces excessively high levels of energy
over too long a period of time, irreversible damage may be done to the
body. Do not. therefore. regard the Immortal Breathing lightl y.
200 Immortal Breath ing: Small and Large Heavenl y Cycles
However, if you have followed the steps of the Internal Exercises and
meditations conscientiously and have practiced the Crane, Turtle, and Deer
Exercises so that you are proficient in them, you will be ready to begin the
Immortal Breathing (the Immortal Breathing exercises are extensions of
the Deer at a very, very elevated level).
This is the fina l stage of the Taoist system of Internal Exercises. Mastery
of Immortal Breathing may require from one year to a lifetime of diligent
practice. Letting the body raise its energy levels to higher frequencies is not
something to be rushed. Promising miracles for a minimum of effort and
time is a sin, for many lives can be ruined permanen tly, or "disintegrated
into evil' '.
However, if impatience can be overcome, the rewards are indescribable.
The spiritual eye of the practitioner is fully awakened, and he or she is
raised to the level of the Hsien, or wise and immortal person. The Hsien is
one who knows the secrets of the universe by being in complet e union with
the Tao, or God, exists perpetually, and has the power of the universe at his
or her disposal. Is this not the true desire which lies in the hearts of all men?
God has put this desire for spirituality in mao-no other organism in the
universe is so gifted-so that man may one day accompany him.
SMALL HEAVENLY CYCLE
This type of breathing is often called the ''Self-Winding Wheel of the
Law". When first practicing this type of breathing, one must use one's will
power to initiate the cycle. However, there comes a time when the breath
ing becomes automatic and will continue on an involuntary basis. Thus,
once the process has been initiated, it becomes something which, in a
manner of speaking, becomes self-winding, irreversible and beyond one's
control. In such a way the final stage of enlightenment comes not from
something you are doing, but comes all of its own to you.
I. Sit with your spine and head held erect.
2. Grasp your thumbs inside your fingers and lay your hands lightly
on your legs.
3. Begin to inhale slowly, without forcing your breath at any time.
As you inhale, feel the breath come in through your nose and
201 Immortal Breathin g: Small and Large Heavenl y Cycles
descend through the Jen-Mo meridian into the abdominal cavity
(stove) where the breath will be heated (transmuted) and energized.
4. When you have fully inhaled the breath, lock your anal sphincter
muscles and pull your chin down onto your chest in a chin lock. These
two movements prevent the energy from escaping the abdominal
chamber and help to further energize the energy as it activates the
sexual glands. Also, when you hold your breath, the blood vessels
tend to constrict, thus raising the blood pressure. The chin lock helps
to reverse this process and restore an equilibrium to the body.
5. With your breath held, and the anal and chin locks in place, begin
to feel the energy in the stove cauldron (abdomen) beginning to rise
upward along the back of the spinal column or Tu-Mo meridian.
6. As the ener gy travels upward, it moves through the seven houses
(glands) in succession, entering first into the sexual glands where it
makes a spiraling circular movement, and then passes upward and
through the remaining six houses in similar wheel-like movements
(see figure 103). The wheel rotations at each house serve to energize
the house in which it
