 in tissues, as well as the
levels of amino acids, neurotransmitters, and other substances. Hypocapnia
(low blood CO2) provides the necessary condition for a reduced seizure
threshold and the onset of seizures, but it is not the only factor leading to
epileptic sympt oms. Nonetheless, numerous studies have shown that
hyperventilation reliably triggers seizures in epileptics (and patients
suffering from explainable seizu res), indicating that the threshold of nerve
cell excitability is closely related to or controlled by respiration, with some
lesser contribution from other states of homeostatic imbalan ce, such as
sleep deprivation, stress, low blood sugar, infection, fever, alcohol intake,
and overheating. 21
The first research paper to explore the beneficial effect of CO2 in
epilepsy was published in the 1928 Journal of Clinical Investigations. 22
Scientists reported that inhaling air rich in CO2 reduced the severity and
duration of seizures due to the ef fect of the gas on nerve and muscle cells. A
1956 study returned the same results. 23 In 1999, another research paper
explored the effects of hyperventilation on the brain’ s sensory responses
and concluded thatIncreased neuro nal excitability caused by hyperventilation-ind uced
hypocapnia leads to spontaneo us and/or asynchronous firing  of
cortical neurons. 24
In simple terms. this means that the low levels of blood CO2 that occur
as a result of hyperventilation create abnormal activity in the nerve cells of
the brain. The conclusions of a 2005 pape r are even more comprehensive, stating
that, as well as altering respirati on and vascular tone, abnormal CO2 levels
affect blood pH, consciousness, and seizure threshold. 25 Outside of the
brainstem, the mechanisms by which CO2 levels influence the function of
neurons are unknown, but research suggests that CO2-induced changes in
nerve cell function are pH-dependent. The authors conclude that their
findings demons trate a mechanism for the bidirectional effects of CO2 on
neuronal excitability in the forebrain. Sometimes, seizures may be triggered, worsened, and prolonged by low
blood sugar levels. These are called “hypoglycemic” seizures. 26 It is known
that chronic overbreathing resul ts in poor blood sugar control, exacerbating
the symptoms of hypoglycemia. 27. Because one of the roles of CO2 is as a vasodilator, hypocapnia (low
CO2) can lead to vasoconstriction, or narrowing of the blood vessels, which
in turn can cause the carotid arteries to go into spasm, another key trigger
for seizu res. The carotid arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich
blood to the brain, neck, and face. At the same time, overbreat hing from the upper chest reduces
oxygenation of the organs, including the brain. This can lead to respiratory
alkalosis, in which the blood pH is too high. This compounds the abnormal
electrical activity, further lowering the seizure threshold. 9 A 2006  study
from researchers in Finland reported that the suppression of alkalosis with
5% ambient CO 2 “abolished” seizures in juvenile rats within 20 seconds. 28
This link with CO2 forms the basis for the exchange breathing method
(EBM) protocol, an emer gency seizure-recovery method in which the first-
aider administers an outward breath into the subject’ s nose during seizure. In a 2019 study, EBM was administered 28 times during different seizuresin one subject. The least numbe r of breaths given to stop a seizure was 1,
and the most 10. Typically, 3 breaths were needed. In this case, this
breathing method stopped the seizures at least three times faster than
diazepam, without the postseizu re side effects, such as drowsiness and bad
moods. Research ers concluded that, since this simple technique can be used
any time, it can be easily incorporated into existing treatment protocols,
even applying it as soon as a seizure begins. 29
CHRONIC HYPER VENTILA TION AS A SEIZURE TRIGGER
As we’ve already discussed, hyperventilation is a respiratory behavior
where an irregular increase in the speed and depth of the breath results in
abnormal excha nge of gases in the lungs and low blood CO2 levels. 30
Clinical and research evidence demonstrates a strong link between this
habitual overbreathing and epilepsy. In early studies investigating the
relationship between hyperventilation and seizures, scientists described the
objective and subjective experiences accompanying low blood CO2,
commenting that, “there are few drugs the effects of whic h upon the
neuromuscular system are so rapid and so striking as the effect of voluntary
hyperpnea”31 (deliberately increased rate and depth of breathing)32. It was
found that seizure sufferers have an unusually high sensitivity to changes
within a fairly narrow range of blood CO 2 concentrations. According to Robert Fried’ s book Breathe Well, Be Well,33
hyperventilation is a major cause of fits in epilepsy. The author refers to
numerous studies dating back to the 1930s that have made the connection
between overbr eathing and seizures. In 1954, scientists stated that, “In
persons who are predisposed to epileptic fits, simply overbreathing, often
results in an attack. ”34 A resea rch paper from 1975, Hyperventilation: The
Tip and the Iceber g, explain ed how low blood CO2 causes constric tion of
the blood vessels, leading to a reduction in the amount of oxygen reaching
the brain. 35 These effects are immediate, which is why hypocapnia can
quickly result in feelings of faintness, dizziness, and visual disturbance. The
paper also states that grand mal seizures may be triggered by
hyperventilation. Although research has clearly identified the role of CO2 in cerebral
circulation, many studies still conclude that the cause of seizures is
neurological. The rationale behind this idea is that CO2-driven changes to
the blood acid-base balance create an unstable environment for the nerve
cells of the brain. Further studies have suggested that anxiety can act as a
seizure trigger because it leads to hyperventilation, lowering blood CO2
levels. 36 Patient s were prone to hyperventilating when they felt anxio us,
and while they did not display  any obvious signs of overbre athing, they
experienced a 50% drop in CO2 and an increase in both EEG and clinical
seizure activity. Separate research into cerebral blood flow and metabolism
acknowledges the role of CO2 as a vasodilator. A 2008 study  examining
sexual dysfunction in men with epilepsy points out that sex can itself prove
problematic because of hyperventilation,37 which is commonly associated
with orgasm, can trigger seizu res. In Freedom from Asthma, Alexander
Stalmatski argues that epileptics, like asthmatics and people with a variety
of other related conditions, always hyperventilate, suggesting that, “With
reconditioning of their breathin g patterns. the establishment of proper
levels of CO 2, it is possible to prevent seizures without drugs. ”38
In clinical settings, hyperventi lation is used to activate seizures for
monitoring. I asked a friend who is a brain doctor about the connection
between epilepsy and hype rventilation. My friend explained that
hyperventilation is used
especially by the child neurolo gists as a bedside tool to diagnose
absence seizure s (petit mal seizures) in children. Hyperventilation
causes blood to be alkaline by driving out CO2. This low blood
pH causes constriction of the blood vessels, hence low oxygena tion
triggers the seizures. Even though children are more sensitive, in
adults with chronic hyperventilation due to anxiety attacks, for
example, the brain can suffer the metabolic and oxygenation
changes. I am increasingly surprised that breathing retraining to reverse
hyperventilation is not widely considered in the treatment of seizures. Especially, since  it is also widely recognized that common seizure triggersincluding alcohol, low blood sugar, and stress produce an increase in
breathing volume that may deplete blood CO 2 to the seizure threshold. According to an exhaustive 1990 review by Robert Fried and Mary
Claire Fox, research has proven that the dramatic effect of inhaled CO2 on
EEG activity can be replicated by limiting the rate of respiration. 30 While,
at the time of publication, no evidence existed to indicate that CO2 could be
controlled by self-regulation, the researchers believed that there would be
broad clinical application for such a technique, commenting that
“physiological equilibrium” could be restored by increasing oxygenation of
the cells and tissues or by enhan cing blood flow and metabolism. As Fried
and Fox explain, studies have demonstrated that the cause of seizures is
metabolic and vascular, and that the connection between hyperventilation
and seizures is so strong as to indicate that one causes the other. Alongside the Fried/Fox review, a significant body of research
demonstrates a connection between hyperventilation and epilepsy
symptoms. In 1981, a study compared


 food, and also the internal mechanisms, such as the limbic
system and the endogenous opioids involved in the cessation of
crying. These are proximate explanations because they describe
the immediate causal triggers of crying [4]. In this context, the ulti-
mate explanation for hunger is to signal the body for possible star-
vation and death. The proximate value of hunger is that it leads toeating, although eating is also stimulated by looking at, smelling of
and thinking in food, which are therefore all proximate causes of
eating [5]. This so-called thought-shaped fusion can be so strong
that individuals can gain weight just looking at food [6]. Food deﬁ-
ciency as a stress factor activates a complex systemic response,
which should lead to gluconeogenesis, changes in energy distribu-
tion and spontaneous physical activity [7,8]. Starvation may induce
a certain level of aggressive behaviour, which should be considered
adaptive when hunting big game or when suffering from a lack of
high-energy nutrients [9,10], whereas food sharing behaviour is

Q: What is the purpose of oxytocin in the body?,
A: Oxytocin has numerous effects on multiple physiological mechanisms, including influencing the immune system, regulating appetite, and decreasing cortisol production.
Q: According to the authors, what is the main difference between human drinking behavior and that of animals?,
A: Humans do not drink in response to thirst and dehydration, but instead drink small amounts frequently, whereas animals drink up to satiety and then stop.
Q: What is the proposed hypothesis in this study?,
A: The authors suggest that intermittent drinking (drinking up to satiety and then stopping) could potentially recover human health, trust, and mental well-being by increasing oxytocin signaling and decreasing stress axis activity.
Q: What is the relationship between oxytocin and the immune system?,
A: Oxytocin has anti-inflammatory effects on the immune system and maintains peripheral homeostasis during acute inflammation.
Q: What is the authors' suggestion for improving human health and mental well-being?,
A: The authors propose a new drinking rhythm based on the "waterhole" behavior of animals, where one drinks up to satiety and then stops, which could potentially have a positive impact on mental health and well-being.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>“TIMELESS … UNDENIABLY COMPELLING.”

When I told girlfriends I was writing a book about
women, most of them said something like this: “For us, for women
who have been to hell and back?”
How strange that this should be the club we belong to: women
who have been to hell and back. But we all understand  what that
means. It’s a membership badge we wear with knowing looks and
lines on our foreheads. Most of us have known at least one divorce
or one devastating breakup, whether we were married or not. Other
circumstances can get us into the club as well: abortion,  disease, a
variety of public or private humiliations, drugs, alcohol, the death of
a loved  one, incompetent parents, sick children. It’s everything we
thought life would never be like. We don’t feel self-pity so much as
fear and deep grief. Such has been our womanqu est. It is conscious and discip lined, or
unconscious and unbridled. Whether we’ve learned anything or not,
our suering has shaped who we are, and for better or for worse
we’ve been changed by the past few years. We are not who we
would have been had we not descended. We have a lot of stories
and a lot to edit. In writing this book, I have no purpose other than a creative spill
of my own guts. But that in itself is a passionate purpose, and I have
seen how like my guts are to those of other women. The
relationships, careers, children, dreams, betrayals, hopes, wins,Marianne Williamson
Los Angeleslosses—all these form my landscape too. Our feelings have blended. Our stories converge. Every writer hopes her words will open a door, will oer a
passage of light the reader can glide through. I dare to dream that
dream for this book. OceanofPDF.comCONTENTS

Glorious Queens and Slavegirls
The eternal feminine draws us upward. —Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It’s very dicult being a woman. It’s very dicult
being a man too, I realize, but this is a book about women. Sam
Keen wrote a book about men, which he called Fire in the Belly. My
friend Tara called me up one day and told me she wanted to write a
companion volume, Volcano in the Uterus. I laughed when she said
that, but inside I was thinking, and Catastrophes in the Breasts  and
Terror in the Ovaries …
More women cry, loudly or silently, every fraction of every
moment, in every town of every country, than anyone —man or
woman—realizes. We cry for our children, our lovers, our parents,
and ourselves. We cry in shame because we feel no right to cry and we cry in
peace because we feel it’s time we did cry. We cry in moans and we
cry in great yelps. We cry for the world. Yet we think we cry alone. We feel that no one hears. And we must all listen now. We must
hold the crying woman’s hand and minister to her tende rly, or she
will turn—this collective feminine shadow self—into a monster who
will go unheard no longer. This book is an eort to hear and
understand her, in today’s world, as she exists at this moment,
imprisoned


 our day and age and society, wealth is a natural result of serving
a large number of people. All work is repaid in kind, and when we serve
one person he serves us also, and this owing of service usually results in the
exchange of money. If we serve one person we are paid so much; if we
serve two we are paid more; if we serve ten, even more; if we serve a
million, we are bound to become wealthy. We cannot help but create wealth
when we find a work that needs to be done, and we cannot help but receive
a portion of this wealth ourselves. That money breeds money is axiomatic,
but only when such money is put to work creating wealth. When our
savings are invested in activities that promote discovery and creation, they
cannot help but make money, for they are being used in accordance with
this primary law of life, that every service must be rewarded. Proper performance is always unthinking performance. Any other kind of
action is ego-centered and based upon partial knowledge. A friend reports
he can cut an apple exactly in half when he is not thinking about it, but
when he concentrates, the halves no longer match. Innate in each of us is an
original mind, and knowledge there is not limited to that acquired through
the senses. Egoistic conditioning causes the mind to acquire a fixed idea of
itself as a means of controlling itself, and consequently we think ofourselves as “I. ” The focus of our consciousness then shifts from original
mind to ego-image, and it becomes impossible for us to use original mind in
any of our mental actions. Everything performed in response to the ego is
intentional, af fected, limited, and insincere. W e have to learn to let intention
go, to let sense of self go, so that we can perform under the impulsion of a
greater mind and will. W e must learn to be spontaneous; we must learn to
give up plan and ef fort, to do the natural thing when the time for
performance arises. Spontaneous Action

Basic in Zen Buddhism is the doctrine of unintentioned action. A Zen
Buddhist disciple, an archer, is reported to have practiced for three years to
let his arrows shoot themselves. When at last he was able to release the bow
string unconsciously, in response to an intuitive action that had more to do
with the tar get and arrow than his purpose, the ef fectiveness of his archery
increased amazingly; but the moment he began to think of results he no
longer was able to let the arrow shoot itself, and his scores fell of f at once. Spontaneity is the mark of the Absolute. Universal mind does not need to
think out things. It holds within itself at every moment the proper answer to
each particular problem. It acts quickly and without thought. That which we
do well we do without ef fort because we have given over the doing of it to a
will and power that lie outside our conscious intentioned ego. Developing a skill is lar gely a matter of abdicating from performance. W e
must learn to let go of personal responsibility and conscious control. Henry
Miller wrote:

When you dwell on the prophetic, you come to realize that there is an
invisible pattern to the events which mold our destiny, and that history,
philosophy, science, art, religion, yield but a distorted, meaningless, even
ridiculous image of this divine web. But the most interesting aspect of thisexperience, this lifting of the veil, is that all desire to modify, hasten, or
retard events is nullified. What is, is, what will be, will be, and that suf fices. Merely to recognize, if only for a moment, that there is a greater plan,
enables one to abdicate. In abdicating one is not removed from the stream
of life even mentally; one plunges in more deeply, more wholeheartedly,
that is the curious thing. All that is sacrificed is one’ s limited, egocentric
view of life, a view which caused one to swim against the current instead of
with it. A juggler keeps eight balls in the air, and people exclaim, “Isn’ t that
incredible. ” And it certainly is if we assume that the conscious mind is
contr olling the action. The conscious mind can har dly follow the action, let
alone perform it. Juggling eight balls is done by the subconscious, which
directs all activity that takes on the coloration of skill or talent. This mind is
not a multitude of minds but only one; ther efore all skill and all talent
reflect the activity of a single person. All books ar e written by the same
author, all pictur es painted by the same artist, all music composed by the
same composer; in every cr eative activity or accomplished performance the
same mind is r esponsible. A thing done well r eflects the dir ection of the
Divine, and thus spiritual awakening is necessary to effective living. The Secr et Door

As long as we live and act in the ego, we cannot hope to develop our talents
and capabilities except in the most limited manner. When you set out to
learn something, you must first get yourself out of the way. This “I” that
you constantly refer to, this sense of self that sits directly behind your eyes,
is egoistic in the sense that it is separate and will prevent your learning
anything well as long as it controls your consciousness. There is a great
deal of dif ference between egoistic trying and letting action develop
through spontaneous impulsion from the Secret Self. Ef fort made throughthe ego develops because the ego has some result in mind. It wants to feel
better than others, wants to control them, or it is afraid or hostile or
insecure, and this end-gaining action, so limited in viewpoint and
knowledge, has only the barest chance of succeeding, and then only by
coincidence with the purposes of the Secret Self. People try and try to master some skill and make only the barest progress. They finally despair and give up altogether, and this giving up, this release
of the end-gaining aims of the ego, is exactly the time that skill may
develop in them because the Secret Self takes over. Examples of this
psychological phenomenon are so profuse as to be irrefutable. Pasteur,
laboring over test tubes and microscopes, received his greatest illumination
in the period of his greatest hopelessness. Galileo was inspired with the idea
of a revolving solar system at the nadir of his despair over the inef fectuality
of his telescopes. Every researcher knows that a secret door is often found
on a dead-end street. Every creative artist knows that their greatest work
comes after periods of intense frustration. That it is always darkest before
the dawn is a well-known saying. W e have to have our egos reduced to
nothingness before the Secret Self takes over. We have to get ourselves out
of the way so that skills can develop in us, so that work can be done through
us by a greater mind and being. How often have you wadded up a piece of paper and unthinkingly tossed it
across the room and been amazed when it landed directly in the center of
the wastebasket. Section summary:

	vivisection	has	proven	anything	it	has	proven	the	impossibility	of	man

contracting	any	real	disease	from	a	dog. How	long	will	filthy	lucre	keep	the	facts	from	the	fooled	public? In	early	times,	as	recorded	in	articles	available	in	old	libraries,	the	kiss	of	a	king

would	cure	rabies. It	was	later	discovered	that	a	piece	of	the	king’s	garment

would	be	as	efficacious. Still	later	the	"mad	stone"	when	applied	over	the	area	of	the	bite	would	"draw

out	the	madness". Later	some	of	the	"hair	of	the	dog	that	bit	you"	could	either	be

chewed	and	swallowed	or	bound	on	the	wound. A	still	later	discovery	was	that	which	employed	an	extract	of	"wild	cockroach". In	1806	a	Mr.	Kraus	was	awarded	$1000,	by	the	then	rulers	of	New	York

temtory	for	his	scientific	discovery	which	had	kept	rabies	out	of	New	York	for

Over	twenty	years. His	formula	is	a	matter	of	record	and	consisted	of	the	ground

up	jaw	bone	of	an	ass	or	dog,	a	piece	of	colt’s	tongue	and	the	green	rust	off	a

penny	of	George	the	First	reign. This	latter	seems	to	have	kept	rabies	out	of	the	limelight	until	the	time	of

Pasteur. Medicine	has	heard	much	of	the	startling	cure	of	Joseph	Meister	by

Pasteur. Little	mention	is	made	of	the	fact	that	three	relatives	of	the	Meister	boy

were	bitten	by	the	same	dog	and	without	benefit	of	the	Pasteur	treatment

recovered	completely. Dr.	H.	Bastian,	a	contemporary,	took	sharp	issue	with	Pasteur’s	scientific	ideas

and	conclusions. Another	contemporary	of	Pasteur,	Dr.	Antoine	Bechamp,	took

violent	exceptions	to	Pasteur’s	reports	on	rabies	and,	incidentally,	it	was	Dr.

Bechamp	who	claimed	to	have	previously	discovered	the	cause	of	the	silkworm

disease. He	also	(Bechamp)	was	the	man	who	made	the	discoveries	on

fermentation. The	records	of	the	French	Academy	of	Science	substantiate

Bechamp’s	claims. Dr.	W.	R.	Hadwen	of	England	was	also	in	controversy	with	Pasteur. Dr.	William

A.	Bruette,	former	assistant	chief	of	the	Bureau	of	Animal	Industry	in

Washington,	was	also	a	contemporary	of	Pasteur	and	gave	many	proofs	of

Pasteur’s	incorrect	findings. Dr.	Bruette	has	proved,	as	a	matter	of	fact,	that

rabies	vaccine	is	not	only	a	fraud,	but	harmful. He	scores	the	use	of	rabies

vaccine	and	states	that	"inoculation	spreads	disease." He	goes	as	far	as	to	call	the

sale	of	rabies	vaccine	an	out	and	out	racket. Dr.	Matthew	Woods,	another	contemporary	of	Pasteur,	then	a	leading	member	of

the	Philadelphia	Medical. Society,	wrote	much	on	the	subject	of	rabies. He

stated,	"at	the	Philadelphia	dog	pound,	where	on	an	average	more	than	6,000

vagrant	dogs	are	taken	annually,	and	where	the	catchers	and	keepers	are

frequently	bitten	while	handling	them,	not	one	case	of	hydrophobia	has	occurred

during	it’s	entire	history	of	twenty-five	years,	in	which	time	150,000	dogs	have

been	handled." "The	records	of	the	London	Hospital,	a	few	years	ago,	showed	2,668	persons

bitten	by	angry	dogs. None	of	them	developed	hydrophobia." St.	George’s	Hospital,	London,	records	4,000	patients	bitten	by	dogs	supposed	to

have	been	mad. No	case	of	hydrophobia. "In	the	record	of	all	the	diseases	which	have	occurred	at	the	Pennsylvania

Hospital	in	one	hundred	and	forty	years,	only	two	cases	which	were	supposed	to

be	hydrophobia	have	occurred. One	of	these,	however,	the	only	one	submitted	to

bacteriological	test,	did	not	confirm	the	diagnosis,	‘hydrophobia’	and	the	local

health	authorities	refused	to	register	the	death	as	due	to	rabies." Dr.	Charles	W.	Dulles,	lecturer	on	the	History	of	Medicine	at	the	University	of

Pennsylvania,	who	was	appointed	by	the	Medical	Societies	of	the	state	to

investigate	rabies	stated	that	he	is	"inclined	to	the	view	that	there	is	no	such

specific	malady"	because	after	sixteen	years	of	investigation	he	had	"failed	to

find	a	single	case	on	record	that	can	be	conclusively	proved	to	have	resulted

from	the	bite	of	a	dog	or	any	other	cause." The	report	and	Dr.	Woods’	letter	were

endorsed	by	Dr.	Theophilus	Parvin	of	Jefferson	Medical	College	and	President

of	the	National	Academy	of	Medicine;	Dr.	Thomas	G.	Morten,	Coroners

Physician;	Dr.	Charles	K.	Mills	of	the	University	of	Pennsylvania	and	Dr.

Thomas	I.	Mays	of	the	Polyclinic	Hospital. Dr.	Woods	recently	wrote	a	discourse	of	mimetic	diseases,	in	which	he	discussed

rabies. His	evidence	supports	the	view	that	so-called	human	rabies	is	the	result

of	a	disordered	imagination	(fear). In	animals,	so-called	rabies	is	fundamentally

due	to	maltreatment	or	malnutrition	or	both. Dr.	Wilcox	of	New	York	investigated	a	"rabies	scare"	because	of	eleven	alleged

deaths	from	rabid	dog	bites. Upon	complete	investigation,	it	was	found	that	not

one	of	these	deaths	was	due	to	rabies. With	the	publication	of	his	report	to	the

city	council,	the	"rabies	scare"	ended	forthwith. Dr.	Elmer	Lee	ended	another	rabies	scare	on	Staten	Island. On	autopsy	the	rabid

dog	was	found	to	have	died	of	thread	worms	and	not	rabies. The	worms	were

lodged	in	the	heart	of	the	animal. A	similar	finding	of	worms	ended	the	Kiondike	Rabies	Panic. Dr.	Stillman,	in	1922	voiced	the	opinion	that	rabies	was	"pure	humbug"	and	that

in	over	forty	years	as	a	practicing	physician	with	a	very	busy	practice	and	wide

travels	throughout	Europe,	he	stated	that	he	had	"never	seen	a	case	of

hydrophobia	or	rabies." In	a	letter	answering	a	request	for	information,	Dr.	Stillman	stated:

"Several	years	ago	there	was	considerable	excitement	occasioned	by	the

declaration	of	a	rabies	quarantine	by	the	state	department	of	agriculture	in

Albany,	N.	Y. It	lasted	two	years. Many	dogs	were	killed. Their	heads	were	sent

on	for	official	examination	at	Cornell	College	Veterinary	department. Many	were

pronounced	rabid,	but	the	test	was	dependent	upon	the	presence	of	certain	Negri

bodies	in	the	animal’s	brain." "I	was	told	by	a	pupil	of	Pasteur	in	France	that	these	Negri	bodies	were

sometimes	present	when	there	was	no	suspicion	whatever	of	rabies. We	sent	the

head	of	a	harmless	little	dog	without	any	disease	symptoms	whatever	to	Cornell

and	it	was	promptly	pronounced	rabid. Finally	I	went	to	the	department	of

Agriculture,	which	had	charge,	and	insisted	that	our	society	would	hold	all	dogs

LOSS! DAY SIXTEEN—TUESDAY
You have now detoxified to the point where an All-fruit Day will be comfort
able and energizing. Pace your fruit intake however you like. Have 1 or 2 large
fruit meals during the day, after juice in the morning (it is easier to stay on
fruit all day if you consume nothing but fresh juice in the morning), or eat
smaller amounts of fruit at regular intervals throughout the day. Eat only when
you are hungry. Since fruit supplies the body with the fuel it needs without a
great energy expenditure, you actually may not be particularly hungry. You
will unquestionably feel light and energetic. BREAKFAST:
Fresh juice
LUNCH:
Fruit
DINNER:
Date or Strawberry Shake, * and more fruit, 1 Vi to 2 hours later, if
desired. You may substitute a Vegetable-fruit Platter (see page 156) for
the shake, if desired. DATE OR STRAWBERRY SHAKE 3 Min. 1 cup Fresh Almond Milk (see below)
2 frozen bananas
6 pitted dates or 6 fresh or frozen strawberries
Place almond milk and fruit in blender. Blend until thick and creamy. If
you like a thinner shake, use Wi bananas. Makes 1 large shake. NOTE: From now on, if you like these shakes, keep frozen bananas on
hand in freezer. These shakes are nutritious and an excellent substitute for ice cream
shakes or protein drinks. Children love them. 194 • FIT FOR LIFE FRESH ALMOND MILK. 10 Min. V* cup raw almonds
1 cup cold water
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup (optional)
Nut and seed milks were used for centuries in Europe, Asia, and by the
American Indians, and they are still used throughout the world as easily
digestible substitutes for cow's milk. Those made from almonds or sesame
seeds are excellent sources for easily assimilated calcium and they are deli
cious! Blanch almonds by adding them to large skillet containing Vi inch boil
ing water, allowing them to sit in water as it boils for about 30 seconds. The skins will loosen noticeably. Drain and pop skins off. Place blanched
almonds in blender with 1 cup cold water. Run blender at high speed for
2—3 minutes until a thick white milk has formed. If you are going to
drink almond milk straight, strain it through a fine sieve. If there is a lot
of pulp, you have not blended long enough. If you are going to use the
milk in a shake, there is no need to strain. Shakes are an ideal "smoothing out" food after an All-fruit Day. We do not
recommend having a shake on any day when you are also having cooked food. DAY SEVENTEEN—WEDNESDAY

time, methods of preservation of health and pro-
longation of life and more. Their secrets were
passed down orally, it was forbidden to write
them down.
But let’s try to lift the veil from their secrets,
and specifical ly the secrets of preservation of
health and prolongation of life. What do you
think the word ‘Yamabushi’ means? Nothing but
‘those who sleep in the mountains!’
A lot of people live, and, accordingly, sleep high
in the mountains. Statistics tell us that t heir av-
erage life expectancy is longer than that on the
plain, but it’s not just that. After all, the name
‘Yamabushi’ emphasizes that they aren’t just
people in the mountains, they are those who
sleep there, i.e. their sleep is somehow different
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frfrom norm al sleep. Most likely it was lengthy.
But you can’t just sleep for a long time, you need
a state of hypnosis, self -hypnosis, influence of
soporific herbs, and they had a complete com-
mand of this.
Lengthy sleep high in the mountains is the
combination of mo untain hypoxia, sleep and ab-
solute fasting (naturally, we don’t eat or drink
during sleep). Every one of these influences has
a powerful stimulating effect on the adaptation
reserves of the organism, and just imagine how
powerful their combination must be.
The effects of long mountain hypoxia:
- New capillaries begin forming in all the or-
gans, first of all, in the vital ones. Every cell of
our organism starts receiving more nutrients
and oxygen.
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr- The lungs begin to work more efficiently as a
result of hypertrophy of the lung tissue and an
increase in the diffusive surface of the pulmo-
nary alveoli. Moreover, the respiratory muscles
increase their mass.
- The blood becomes capable of transporting a
larger amount of oxygen owing to an increase in
the number of  red blood cells and an increase of
hemoglobin. There’s also an increase in the level
of the hormones of the adrenal cortex — the ad-
aptation hormones – in the blood. In this regard,
the blood of donors who are mountain climbers
or people living high in the  mountains, and
preparations made from it, are especially valua-
ble for weakened patients.
- An intense training of the cardiovascular sys-
tem takes place, since the reaction to hypoxia is
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frthe increase in the frequency of heart contrac-
tions and the volume o f cardiac output.
- There’s an increase in myoglobin content.
Myoglobin is a protein that provides a reserve of
oxygen in muscles.
- The general energy level, which drops during
aging or as a result of illnesses, increases signifi-
cantly. This happens, firs t of all, due to an in-
crease in the activity of mitochondria. Under
normal circumstances, a part of these miniature
power plants is dormant. Secondly, it occurs ow-
ing to an increase in the number of the mito-
chondria, as they begin multiplying.
- During dry  fasting the organism imposes a
water -saving regime, this manifests in a decrease
in perspiration, drying of the nasal mucosa, a de-
crease in the amount of moisture in the mouth,

tion and then dryness appears.

15.2. Interesting facts: Dry fasting and dous-
ing with cold water
There are different opinions on whether you
should douse with cold water during dry fasting.
Based on my experience, 80% of my patients
can’t continue dry fasting for 9 -10-11 days, if

They experience highly increased dryness in the

lows: if the temperature of the water is lower
than 11 degrees Celsius, then for a period of time
your body’s own temperature rises to 40 degrees.
This has  a powerful health benefit due to the ac-
tivation of the immune system and the increase
of the internal temperature. If the temperature
of the water is higher than 11 degrees C this
won’t happen. That’s why during short -term dry
fasts you have to try dousing, and if this helps
you, you can douse during long dry fasts as well.

organism could occur (usually this hap-

organs can’t neutralize the toxins and get
rid of them fast enough. A blockade oc-

Of course, if you really overdo it on fatty foods, you will notice it right awa y and likely again the next morning. The tiredness,
foul mouth, slowed digestion and elimination, and other sensations are too pron ounced to ignore. They are great motivating factors
to bring you right back to the joys of the straight and narrow 80/10/10.
How Many Calories?
In the beginning, most people do not eat enough raw foods to obtain their necessa ry daily calories, because they are used to
eating concentrated cooked foods. As I described in Chapter 10, you will have to ea t a much  larger volume of whole fresh fruits
and vegetables to obtain the same number of calories that you would from cooked m eats and starches, because raw fruits and
vegetables are not as calorically dense. They contain a large amoun t of water and fiber—essential nutrients to be sure, but these t wo
items add a great deal of volume to our food.
Another obstacle most people must overcome in order to succeed with the 80/10/10  raw diet, is the fear of consuming fruit
for the major portion of their calories. In general, fruits are considera bly higher in calories than vegetables and leafy greens. So it
makes sense that most of the raw food diet be made up of fruit, complemented by lar ge salads to provide essential minerals such as
sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
Determining caloric needs is not an exact science. There is room for a  fair amount of flexibility, especially on a day-to-day
basis. Averaged over a year’s time, we will likely find that peopl e who maintain their weight consume a predictable range of calori es
based upon their size, muscularity, and activity level.

10 Times Body Weight = BMR
Below I offer two guidelines for estimating the number of calories you s hould consider eating each day. Both of them begin by
multiplying your body weight (or your ideal/desired body weight) by 10. This provi des a very rough estimate of your resting basal
metabolic rate (BMR)—the number of calories required to operate you r brain, organs, and all essential functions.
For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you can estimate that you need somewhere a round 1,500 calories per day, plus or
minus about 10%, just to maintain your basic metabolism at rest. Then, dependi ng on your activity level, I offer the following
calculations.

Calorie Guidelines for Healthy (Athletic) People
My optimal calorie-consumption guideline is likely to be different than  the advice you may find elsewhere, and somewhat higher than
the American average. This is because I base my recommendati on upon a healthful (high) level of physical activity—the leve l that
humans would have to maintain in order to obtain sufficient food in a more na tural setting.
Nature intended humans to have to cover large expanses of ground on foot, to cl imb trees, and even to swim when necessary
in order to obtain food and warmth. The resulting fitness level would be consi derably higher than that of the average American, as
would the average calorie output. As more food would be consumed, so would a greate r number of nutrients be available. Good
nutrition literally hinges upon us being fit enough to be healthy.
With the above in mind, I suggest that a healthy athletic person shoul d utilize at least as many calories in physical endeavors as
they use for their resting BMR. (Resting BMR is equivalent to 10 time s your ideal body weight). This means, for instance, that a
150-pound man who uses 1,500 calories as his baseline should also use at least another 1,500 calories in his activities for the day,
on average, for a total of 3,000 calories.
Using the 80/10/10  diet, nutritional intake would be vastly better than the American av erage for all nutrients. Fitness levels
would need to be increased, of course, in order to achieve that level of activi ty, but this can be done gradually.

Calorie Guidelines for Less-Active People
To be abundantly clear, I would like to reiterate: Good nutrition literally hinges upon us being fit enough to be healthy.  By this
I mean to say that even the most “perfect” diet will never result i n true health unless it is accompanied by high-level fitness a nd all of
the other essential elements of healthful living (see sidebar e ntitled “Fundamental Elements of Health”). I cannot recommend high ly
enough that you exert at least as much attention and effort into uplev eling your level of fitness as you do into learning about and
achieving optimal nutrition.
That said, if you are a less-active person wending your way toward fitne ss and health, here are some guidelines for caloric
intake.
If your work and the rest of your day is relatively sedentary, add another 200 ca lories to the BMR estimate described above.
Then add calories for exercise, perhaps 300–600 calories per session. It  could be more or less, depending upon the frequency,
intensity, and duration of your fitness sessions. If you also have a physi cally demanding job, you might require another 800 to 1,600
additional calories or more.
Thus, a sedentary woman who weighs 130 pounds must eat about 1,300 calories simply t o maintain her body weight. Let us
suppose that she needs another 260 calories (an additional 20%) per day to meet he r physical needs such as puttering around the
house, going up stairs, or to the mailbox, etc. This hypothetical woman would ne ed to eat food that supplied about 1,560 calories
per day.
A large man of 280 pounds, who is fit and not fat, who participates in sports and works i n construction, would require roughly
2,800 calories for basal metabolism. Add to that the 1,500 calories he expends at work ea ch day and the 2,000 he needs for his daily sports training. This active man needs to eat sufficient food to su pply him with approximately 6,250 calories per day. He has to
consume four times as many calories as the sedentary woman in our fir st example.

Calorie Comparison: 8 Ounces of Selected Foods
This chart demonstrates the tremendous range of caloric density amon g high-water versus high-fat whole foods in the
80/10/10  program. In each case, the food item weighs eight ounces. (Note that you wou ld have to eat 42 servings of 8 ounces of
lettuce, or 21 large heads, to get the same number of calories as one 8-ounce por tion of macadamia nuts!)

Lettuce:                   39 calories  (1 small head romaine)
Cucumber:            27 calories  (½ medium)
Tomato:                   41 calories  (2 medium)
Peach:                   89 calories  (2 medium)
Apple:                   109 calories  (2 small)
Mango:                   147 calories (1 medium)
Banana:                   202 calories (2 medium)
Avocado:             362 calories  (1 large)
Cashews:             1,254 calories  (1.7 cups)
Sunflower seeds:       1,293 calories  (1.5 + cups)
Almonds:             1,318 calories (1.7 cups or 200 nuts)
Walnuts:             1,483 calories (2 + cups, or 57 nuts)
Macadamias:       1,628 calories  (1.8 cups, or 88 nuts)

How Much to Eat
To give you an example of the volume of fruits and vegetables required, l et’s say you need about 2,000 calories per day. A
medium-sized banana has 105 calories; a large honeydew melon has 461 calorie s; a medium peach has 39 calories; and a large
simple salad may have 175 calories (a large 20-oz. head of lettuce runs about 96 c alories, and a pound of nonsweet fruits has about
75 calories).
To consume 2,000 calories from raw foods, you would need to eat something like a large  honeydew melon for breakfast (461
calories), a 12-banana smoothie for lunch (1,260 calories), 4 peaches before dinne r (153), and a large salad for dinner (175). This
would provide 2,026 calories, with a 90/6/4 caloronutrient ratio (90% carbohydrate s, 6% protein, and 4% fat). If you didn’t have
any physical activity that day, you might eliminate two bananas and on e of the peaches.
If it was a physical day, you could add half of a 6-oz. California avocado to the sal ad. It would provide about 145 more
calories, 111 of which would be from fat. The caloronutrient ratio for the day  would then be 86/6/9. Adding a whole avocado
would take the fat percentage for the day up to 13% … not a big deal, but it w ould be better to add a few pieces of fruit to meet the
extra caloric requirements of your exercise routine.

The Diet for a Lifetime
Just like


 is
plenty! It is a very powerful substance! The flavor of wheat grass juice is sointense that some people have to mix it with carrot juice to get it down. DO NOTOVERUSE. The energizing effects of wheat grass can be so powerful that somepeople make a regular practice of drinking it. However, I’ve seen many peoplewho use wheat grass juice as a tonic become allergic to it much as antibioticdependent people do to antibiotics. Better to save wheat grass for emergencies.
I also have treated my own breast cancers—twice. The first time I was only
23 years old. One night I noticed that it hurt to sleep the way I usually did on myleft side because there was a hard lump in my left breast. It was quite large—about the size of a goose egg. Having just completed RN training two years prior,I had been well brain washed about my poor prognosis and knew exactly whatrequisite actions must taken.
I scheduled a biopsy under anesthetic, so that if the tumor was malignant they
could proceed to full mastectomy without delay. I was ignorant of any alternativecourse of action at the time.
I might add that before I grew my first tumor I had been consuming large
amounts of red meat in a mistaken understanding gained in nursing school that agood diet contained large amounts of animal protein. In addition to the stress ofbeing a full time psychology graduate student existing on a very low budget, I wasexperiencing I very frustrating relationship with a young man that left meconstantly off center and confused.
A biopsy was promptly performed. The university hospital’s SOP required
that three pathologists make an independent decision about the nature of a tumorbefore proceeding with radical surgery. Two of the pathologist agreed that mytumor was malignant, which represented the required majority vote. But thesurgeon removed only the lump, which he said was well encapsulated and forsome reason did not proceed with a radical mastectomy. These days manysurgeons routinely limit themselves to lumpectomies.
I never did find out why I awakened from general anesthetic with two breasts,
but I have since supposed that due to my tender age the surgeon was reluctant todisfigure me without at least asking me for permission, or giving me some time toprepare psychologically. When I came out of anesthesia he told me that the lumpwas malignant, and that he had removed it, and that he needed to do a radicalmastectomy to improve my prognosis over the next few years. He asked me tothink it over, but he signed me up on his surgery list for the following Monday.
I did think it over and found I was profoundly annoyed at the idea of being
treated like I was just a statistic, so I decided that I would be unique. I made afirm decision that I would be well and stay well—and I was for the next fifteenyears. The decision healed me.
When I was 37 I had a recurrence. At the time I had in residence Ethyl and
Marge, the two far-gone breast cancer cases I already told you about. I also hadin residence a young woman with a breast tumor who had not undergone anymedical treatment, not even a lumpectomy. (I will relate her case in detail shortly.)I was too identified emotionally with helping these three, overly-empathetic due to
my own history. I found myself taking on their symptoms and their pain. I went so
far into sympathy as to grow back my tumor—just as it had the first time—a lumpmushroomed from nothing to the size of a goose egg in only three weeks inexactly the same place as the first one. Just out of curiosity I went in for a needlebiopsy. Once again it was judged to be malignant, and I got the same pressurefrom the surgeon for immediate surgery. This time, however, I had an alternativesystem of healing that I believed in. So I went home, continued to care for myvery sick residents, and began to work on myself.
The first thing I had to confront about myself was that I was being a
compassionate fool. I needed to learn how to maintain my own personalboundaries, and clearly delineate what stuff in my mind and my body was reallymine and what was another’s. I needed to apply certain mental techniques of self-protection known to and practiced by many healers. I knew beyond doubt that Ihad developed sympathetic breast cancer because a similar phenomena hadhappened to me before. Once, when I had previously been working on a personwith very severe back pain with hands-on techniques, I suddenly had the pain,and the client was totally free of it. So I protected myself when working with sickpeople. I would wash my hands and arms thoroughly with cold water, or withwater and vinegar after contact. I would shake off their “energy,” have a coldshower, walk bare foot on the grass, and visualize myself well with intactboundaries. These prophylaxes had been working for me, but I was particularlyvulnerable to people with breast cancer.
I also began detoxification dieting, took more supplements, and used
acupressure and reflexology as my main lines of attack. My healing diet consistedof raw food exclusively. I allowed myself fruits (not sweet fruits) and vegetables(including a lot of raw cabbage because vegetables in the cabbage family such ascauliflower and broccoli are known to have a healing effect on cancer), rawalmonds, raw apricot kernels, and some sprouted grains and legumes. I drankdiluted carrot juice, and a chlorophyll drink made up of wheat grass and barley
green and aloe vera juice. I took echinaechia, red clover, and fenugreek seeds. I
worked all the acupuncture points on my body that strengthen the immune system,including the thymus gland, lymph nodes, and spleen. I also worked the meridians,and reflex points for the liver, and large intestine. I massaged the breast along thenatural lines of lymphatic drainage from the area.
Last, and of great importance, I KNEW that the treatment would work, and
that the tumor would quickly disappear. It did vanish totally in three months. Itwould have gone away quicker if I had water fasted, but I was unable to do thisbecause I needed physical strength to care for my resident patients and family.
Eighteen years have passed since that episode, and I have had no further
reappearance of breast tumors. At age 55 I still have all my body parts, and havehad no surgery except the original lumpectomy. Many, viewing my muscles andathletic performance, would say my health is exceptional but I know my ownfrailties and make sure I do not aggravate them. I still have exactly the same organdeficiencies as other cancer patients and must keep a very short leash on mylifestyle.
If for some reason I wanted to make my life very short, all I would have to do
would be to abandon my diet, stop taking supplements, eat red meat and icecream every day and be unhappy about something. Incidentally, I have had manyresidential clients with breast cancer since then, and have not taken on theirsymptoms, so I can assume that I have safely passed that hurdle.
I’ve helped dozens of cases of simple breast cancer where my treatment
began before the cancer broadly spread. Kelly’s case was not the easiest of thisgroup, nor the hardest. Sometimes there was lymphatic involvement that themedical doctors had not yet treated in any way. All but one of my early-onsetbreast cancer cases recovered. I believe those are far better results than achievedby AMA treatment.
Before I crow too much, let me stress that every one of these women was a
good candidate for recovery—under 40 years old, ambulatory and did not feel
very sick. And most importantly, every one of them had received no other
debilitating medical treatment except a needle biopsy or simple lumpectomy.None of these women had old tumors (known about for more than six months)and none of the tumors were enormous (nothing larger than a walnut).
Clearly, this group is not representative of the average breast cancer case.
Hygienic therapy for cancer is a radical idea these days and tends to attractyounger people, or older, desperate people who have already been through theworks. In every one of my simple cases the tumors were reabsorbed by the bodyduring the thirty days of water fasting and the client left happy.
Except one. I think I should describe this unsuccessful case, this “dirty case,”
so my readers get a more balanced idea of how fearsome cancer really isn’t if thesick person can clearly resolve to get better and has no problem about achievingwellness.
Marie was an artisan and musician from Seattle who grew up back East in an
upper-middle class dysfunctional family. She was in her late twenties. She hadbeen sexually abused by an older brother, was highly reactive, and had neverbeen able to communicate honestly with anyone except her lesbian lover(honestly?, maybe, about some things).
Three years prior to coming to see me Marie had been medically diagnosed as
having breast cancer and had been advised to have immediate surgery. Sheignored this advice; Marie never told her friends, said nothing to her family andtried to conceal it from her lover because she did not want to disrupt their life.
On her own she did begin eating a Macrobiotic diet. In spite of this diet, the
tumor grew, but grew very slowly. After two years the tumor was discovered byher lover, who after a year of exhausting and upsetting arguments, forced Marie toseek treatment. Since Marie adamantly refused to go the conventional medicalroute, she ended up on my doorstep as a compromise.
By this time the tumor was the size of a fist and had broken through the skin of
the left breast. It was very ugly, very hard. Biokinesiology showed


 up. I have these athletes to tell me, "Mr. Reams, if lever get over this, I'm going to whip you, soon as I get well. I've never been this sick in my life." They feel so good when they get over the body chemistry change they forget to whip me. The body chemistry chang-es really happen and no drug can cause the body to change from one range to another, only minerals can do this.
Let us take the case of a female, age 50, weight 130, height 5'5",
with the following numbers:

ͨ.ͨͰ					ͭ.ͪͨ
ͭ.ͬͨ
ͬ
ͮ

Here we have a person with low urinary blood sugar. If she were
to go to a doctor he would run a blood test and find the blood sugar
normal because the glucose would be up, but there is a time each day that this person would just feel they are going to die, being anemic, almost blacking out, irritable, fighting for life and wondering why everything is upsetting.
This person's calciums are so deficient that she is a nervous wreck,
and except for the grace of God, very hard to live with. Also, there is a potassium deficiency causing her to be extremely absent-minded.
We would find a very high count of delta cells in the vagina, ovary
area, and also in the bladder and both kidneys; a very high emphyse-124 ma count in both lungs, and a case of diarrhea. The food is going
through too fast and the person is feeling very weak.
She may have been married many years and become so irritable
until the husband can't stand her, and if he has low calciums too, di-vorce will probably result. He doesn't understand her condition and she doesn't either.
There is a difference between weakness and tiredness and most
people do not distinguish the two. The athletic young' man would be unduly tired. Tired in the morning, tired at night, tired all the time, but this woman is weak all the time. This type of person must be in a re-treat because unless something is done quickly she is going to be faced with a total hysterectomy because the ovaries are affected. Also, there are delta cells in both breasts.  (lf the middle finger were placed
on the breast it would feel like cord s, it wouldn't be like a lump.) Un-
less something is done this person would have less than two years to live because the energy rating is down to 30. About all a doctor can find wrong here at this stage would be low in potassium, and a very slight calciums deficiency. If he took a pap smear there would be no blood or indication of anything wrong in the uterus area.
The person is probably already over her menstrual period, but the
calciums are still too low, giving her the effects of menopause: nerv-ousness, cold hands, cold feet, and in general needing a good tune-up.
The liver is not manufacturing vitamin D, and without the liver manu-facturing an enzyme of vitamin D the body cannot assimilate calci-ums. This person must be in a retreat, or place where tests can be done every day. The numbers indicate that there is a tumorous area in the brain. The nerves in the brain are not carrying the messages through, not because they are tired, but because there is not enough electrolyte in the system for the messages to go from the brain to the vital organs. The high count of delta cells in the brain would be in the top of the head, toward the front of the brain, in the medula oblongata. This is the part of the brain with which we think and act, where we store in-formation with which we study and memorize.
There are 4 percent of the people that do not go through a rough
withdrawal, and there's no biological reason. The only reason we 125 know is that our instruments do not measure the grace of God, and,
therefore, there is no biological reason why they should not go
through just as rough a time as ev erybody else, but they don't and their
numbers change and within four to seven days we can tell whether or not the body responds.
It is impossible for anyone who has not been trained in the Reams
Biological Theory of Ionization to understand these numbers.
There are seven different stages that we go through from baby-
hood to senior citizen, and in each stage these numbers indicate some-thing different.
ANY CHANGE IN ONE NUMBER CHANGES THE MEAN-
ING OF ALL NUMBERS, THEREFORE, ANY ONE NUMBER BE-ING PERFECT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING, UNLESS ALL NUMBERS ARE PERFECT THEN NO NUMBERS ARE PERFECT.
In this equation stated above there are two ranges that we have not
discussed, the B and D range.
You can be just as near perfect health or death in the B range and
the D range as in the A range. If anyone's body chemistry was in any range except A, and after a week's dieting their body chemistry moves into range A, this indicates that nature would be restoring you to per-fect health at the most rapid rate possible. However, if you started too late and your reserve energy level was too low the disease may be overtaking you faster than you can supply the minerals to repair the damage, this can be determined within a 30-day period.
Range B is the range that indicates that the person really needs a
tune-up. The longer this condition exis ts, the more critical it will be-
come. The reserve energy is the criteria of the exact state of resistance of the body.
Reserve energy between 18 and 60 years of age should be about
100 if one is in perfect health. Many people do not reach reserve ener-gy level 100 in their whole lifetime and may live to be in the seven-ties, eighties, or even nineties. There are people who break every rule of health and live to a ripe old age. Again, there is no biological rea-son to explain this, but there is a theological reason. One of the Ten Commandments tells us: HONOR THY FATHER AND MOTHER: 126 THAT THY DAYS MAY BE LONG UPON THE LAND WHICH
THE LORD THY GOD GIVETH THEE. No one knows except the
person himself whether or not he or she truly honors (honored) his or her father and mother.
This calculation of energy is very difficult, and only those who
master the subject through the ninth seminar will be able to calculate the energy level. There are people now  that say they have cracked the
code and that they can calculate the energy level. Believe them not. There is no way to crack a code because there is no code. It's simply mathematics used according to the age, height, weight, sex, race, as well as the specimen readings.
In Chapter 7 we said it takes X amount of reserve energy divided
by time to make a cell in the body if there is reserve energy behind it. You might ask, "What is the value of X?"
The value of X is determined on the reserve energy by how strong
the gastric juices are of one's liver. I have said many times to the RBTI students, "If you thoroughly understand seminar one, then you can go on to all eight seminars by yourself without help, but unless you do understand seminar one thoroughly and memorize the rules, then you will not understand seminar two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or nine." I had some of the st udents in seminar five to say, "Now
I know what you meant when you said if we thoroughly understood the math in the body chemistry which was taught in seminar one that we could carry on through all nine seminars by ourselves, but I did not understand it."
We do not mind you seeing your numbers, keeping your numbers,
or trying to compare your numbers, but unless you have had the semi-nars you will not understand them.
It is possible to work so hard until you will still burn up more re-
serve energy each day than you took in and become more ill with your numbers in range A, and eventually  it will be moving into other rang-
es if you keep this up.
Symptoms of a potassium deficiency in the brain show up long be-
fore it shows in the blood, and indicates that the person works like a machine. They never seem to tire. They work long, long hours and 127 very, very hard. Nature seems to tell them that their time is short and
they've got to get all their work done and prepare them for death.
A potassium deficiency in the br ain means that the brain cannot
accept enough oxygen, and if you have this condition and a low sugar condition, you really have a problem  because the low sugar lets you
know that there is something seriously wrong, but with the potassium deficiency there can be something seriously wrong and you may not be aware of it. Potassium deficiency shows up in range B, C, D, and E. It can show up in any range, but it is most prevalent in range Band
D.

three with the best teeth were used as a control group. The remaining thirty-three were given the
additional fat-soluble vitamins A and D in the form of two teaspoons of cod liver oil per day. The
diet of both the control group and the test group was otherwise the same. In six months' time the group
taking cod liver oil was 41.75 per cent more resistant to tooth cavities than the previously more
immune control group not taking cod liver oil.

The Best Cod Liver Oil
Recently someone wrote me concerning a miraculous recovery from tooth decay. He had been
suffering from a toothache for six months, made two dental visits, received two new fillings on the
same tooth yet the toothache continued unabated. The dentist recommended a root canal and a crown
to stop the pain. After one serving of cod liver oil, the sufferer’s pain completely disappeared and has
not returned.
Not all cod liver oils are alike. Cod liver oils purchased at health food stores do not have any of their
natural vitamin D intact. Commercial cod liver oil production includes alkali refining, bleaching,
winterization which removes saturated fats, and deodorization which removes pesticides but also
vitamins A and D.
31
 In this process fat-soluble vitamin D is completely destroyed, and fat-soluble
vitamin A is mostly destroyed.
The best available cod liver oil in health food stores seems to be Nordic Naturals ® Arctic™ Cod
Liver Oil without vitamin D added. This product contains no natural fat-soluble vitamin D. If a brand
of store-bought cod liver oil has vitamin D on the label, it is highly likely to be artificial vitamin D 3
added to the cod liver oil.
32
 That the vitamin D is not from the cod liver is not revealed on the labels.
Most cod liver oils also have a fractionated form of vitamin E added as a preservative. I have
learned of people who developed allergic responses such as warts and headaches to the d-alpha
tocopherol preservative added to cod liver oil if they take large dosages. Because of the distillation
process, there isn’t much of a fishy taste and these cod liver oils are very easy to take. But the key
benefit of the cod liver oil to combat tooth decay is the fat-soluble vitamin D, and commercial
varieties just don’t have it in its natural form.
Green Pasture™ produces the highest quality, most nutrient-dense cod liver oil on the market called
Blue Ice™ fermented cod liver oil. It contains all of the cod liver’s vitamin D intact because they use
a fermentation process rather than a distillation process. The cod liver oil is never heated and it is
carefully filtered to keep in all of the natural vitamins. As a result of the fermentation there can be a
moderate biting aftertaste, which is not a problem for most people. Green Pasture™ does not heat
their product, and the lactic acid fermentation along with the nutrients in the cod liver naturally
preserve the oil so there is nothing synthetic in it. I personally use Green Pasture’s™ fermented cod
liver oil and so does my family including my 2 ½-year-old daughter. The high quality of fat-soluble
vitamins in the fermented oil gives your body the vitamins in the forms it needs them. If you plan on
consuming cod liver oil regularly, Green Pasture™ is the safest way to go. To purchase your
fermented cod liver oil, go to

¼ - ½ teaspoon 2-3 times per day for teens and adults for a total of ½ – 1½ teaspoons per day
The amount of cod liver oil you should take depends on your deficiency of fat-soluble vitamins A and
D, your weight, your level of sun exposure and your overall health. I suggest starting with this dosage
level, and then either increase or decrease your dose depending on what feels best for you. Don’t be
afraid to skip taking cod liver oil on some days, and to take more on other days. 2½ of Green
Pasture’s™ cod liver oil capsules equals about a quarter teaspoon.Weston Price’s Activator X
In June, Dr. Price witnessed the natives of the Loetschental Valley “thank the kind Father for evidence
of his Being in the life-giving qualities of butter and cheese when the cows eat the grass near the
snow line.”
33
 The evidence of his Being, Weston Price determined, is a hormone similar to vitamin D
which he called Activator X. Dr. Price theorized, “There must be some food substance that is not
adequately provided in modern nutrition...”
34
 He thought this because skeletons of indigenous people
show perfect bone growth and immunity to tooth decay. Activator X is this missing nutrient. Activator
X is found in its highest concentration in grass-fed dairy, when the animals graze on rapidly growing
green grass, and is also present in fish eggs, and the organs and fat of some land animals when they
graze on rapidly growing plants.
35
Activator X likely comes from plant steroids during a period of new growth which are then converted
by the animal’s body into the tooth-remineralizing force called Activator X.
36
 In my experience
having grass-fed butter in your diet is essential in order to remineralize tooth decay. The content of
Activator X in butter can be seen by its pigment. The period of rapid growth for grass occurs
anywhere from May through September, depending on the particular climate. The more yellow and
orange the summer butter, the more vitamin rich it likely is. Activator X-rich butter is a factor of the
soil, the time of the year, the breed of the animal and the types of grasses, herbs and legumes
consumed. Grass-fed butter is not always rich in Activator X, but only rich when there is rapid new
growth.
Dr. Price found that Activator X-rich butter could heal rickets and that it brought blood serum calcium
and phosphorous ratios towards normal.
 In practical experiments as well as with lab animals, Dr.
Price found that combining cod liver oil with yellow summer butter created a synergistic effect.

Without clear tests and scientific studies on Activator X, I could not provide specific figures for these
data tables. Besides fish eggs and grass-fed spring or summer butter, there isn’t clear data on how
effective or potent each food source is in terms of its Activator X content. Where the potency is
unclear, I put foods into the highly likely Activator X category. From land animals, the Activator X
content is dependent on the season. For sea animals, they likely have moderate amounts of Activator
X year round depending on the animal.
I have found summer grass-fed butter to be highly effective in making teeth very hard, and in securing
loose teeth in their sockets by strengthening the periodontal ligament.
Green Pasture™ is the only company currently producing X-Factor Gold™ high vitamin butter oil. It
is extremely potent in its levels of Activator X and this product is not the same as ghee. As is the case
with everything I recommend in this book, it is your decision to use this product or not. It is a very
potent and convenient way to ensure you have plenty of Activator X in your diet.
Activator X Dosage
¼ teaspoon 2 – 3 times per day of X-factor Gold™ (½ - ¾ teaspoons daily)
- or -
1 teaspoon 2 – 3 times per day of spring / summer grass-fed butter
(1 – 1½ tablespoons daily)
- or -1 tablespoon of wild caught fish eggs per day
The best butter to use is raw grass-fed butter. Water buffalo, which is used in Africa and India, seems
to produce a high Activator X and vitamin D butterfat, but the high nutrient content of this fat could be
the result of the animal’s skin color, or the food they eat. Raw butter is better than pasteurized
because it has more healing effects on the body. If you are using X-Factor Gold™ capsules then 2
capsules are equal to about ¼ teaspoon. The effectiveness of the spring / summer grass-fed butter on
healing cavities varies widely depending on what types of grasses the cows eat. Fish eggs may also
vary by species in their Activator X content based upon what food the fish eats.
High Nutrient Butter Sources:
Local raw butter
 - Sources for local butter from grass-fed animals are available at:

.
 The yellow butter is available from local sources during the spring and summer
after the cows eat rapidly growing green grass. You can save high vitamin butter for the winter by
freezing it.
Commercial pasteurized butter
 – Pasteurization damages the butter’s quality, but it does not destroy
activator X. The store brands
