 bill increases. W atching the news.
Step 2. How could you turn your stressful moments into tapping
transformation opportunities? When the stress starts coming on, what if youcould catch yourself before beco ming overwhelmed? All you need to do is
stop and rate how stressful the day feels right now. Note where you feel the
stressful day in your body. If you’re not sure, guess at a place where you
might be holding the stress.
Step 3. Create an EFT setup statement  for a tapping round that relates to
one of the stresses you listed. Give this stressor a nickname: “the blob,”
“too much work,” “out of control,” “crazy kids,” or “annoying husband.”
Where do you feel this stressor in your body?
Create a tapping phrase that incorporates your sensory feelings as well.
For exam ple, when Ken thought of stress as he performed this exercise, he
thought of the pain on the left side of his neck that comes and goes. When
he asked  himself what brings this pain on, the first thought that came to
mind was: “when my girlfriend  gives the kids drinks with red dye in them
that she knows are bad for them and that makes them hyperactive.”
As he tuned into a specific event when this happened, he felt the stress
rising and the pain in his neck substantially intensified— this was his
tapping target. After two rounds, his anger released, and his neck pain
vanished.
Now it’s your turn. Got a tappin g target? What’ s your intensity rating on
the 0 to 10 scale? Create an EFT statement and perform the EFT basic
recipe. Remember to tap on all aspects that are bothering you one at a time
until you feel the stress level subside.
Here are examples:
Karate chop:  Even though there’ s too much to do and I feel this
tightness in my shoulders, I accept myself and how I feel.
Karate chop:  Even though I am already so stressed out and tight all
over and it’s only 7 am, I’m okay. I deeply and completely accept
myself.
Each of these would be a separate tapping round. Eventually, you may be
able to identify quite a few specific stressors. Just note their intensity, createtapping setups relating to what your day-to-day stressors are, and set them
aside until you have the time and energy to tap on them. Tapping isn’t
meant to create added stress in your life, but to ease it up. Do you see how
tapping on statements like the ones above can loosen the stranglehold stress
can have on you?
Step 4.  When you tap on stress for just five minutes, your whole outlook
can change, which in turn can change your life.
As you continue to deepen your practice, you will be able to uncover the
specific events that are the table legs holding up your stress with the goal of
collapsing the entire reactive stress tabletop in your life.
Where Stress Patterns Originate
Most stress response patterns are laid down at a very young age. They are
unconsciously modeled by our family, not calculatedly splashed across the
front pages of the newspaper. From newborn to age seven, we are
essentially sponges, absorbing ways of being and patterns of behavior from
the central figures in our early lives. So our stress reactions imprint at this
time—or even earlier—as we mirror theirs.16
Studies show that a developing baby in the womb absorbs what Mom is
going through, too. A study of expectant New York City moms who
suffered PTSD from the 9/11 tragedy and whose babies were born shortly
thereafter showed that their babies exhibited a higher stress distress
response than other babies.17 Other epigenet ic studies have revealed that
seriously stressf ul events are passed down to the next gene ration. For
example, those whose ancestors lived through a famine may have inherited
body traits that hold onto food, which results in a propensity for obesity or
unreasonable attitudes about food; those whose ancestors lived through a
Holocaust or massacre may have a lower stress tolerance level.18
However, not everything deriv es from our nature. Nurture is also a
component in our lives. As we grow aware of our in-built patterns of
distress, we can apply tapping, mindfulness, massage, and other approachesto process them, transform them, and experience relief. Let’s take a look at
working with pattern origins.
Exercise: Exploring Origins of Stress
Questions to ask about inherited and default patterns of stress:
Step 1. Write “Stress Release” as a new headin g in your EFT journal.
Answer the following questions. When did the central figures in your early
life get stressed? Name some specific times when they or you were stressed.
How do you know they were stressed? What happened when  they were
stressed? How did they handle stress? What did you do when you saw they
were stressed? Were certain times of the day, night, or year more stressful
than others? What stressful incidents and stories do you remember growing
up? What stories did you tell yourself as a result of the stress? Where do
you find yourself acting in the same way as your mom or dad without being
able to help it? What stress stories were common in your family?
Step 2. Look at your list of early-life stress-stories.  The preceding
questions have doubtlessly led you to many specific events. Give each one a
name and rate its intensity. You may tap on them one at a time, using the
techniques that you have learn ed so far, like Tell the Story and Tearless
Trauma. When you tap on each of these stories, you might be surprised at
the flood of emotion that comes up for release.
Ancestral Str ess
Consider tapping on what I call “ancestral stress.” In my case, I might tap
on anything that comes to mind about my ancestry, uncenso red. In this,
don’t worry about political correctness, but address any raw, archetypal,
fairy-tale-type fears that come to mind. I’ve personally tapped on thoughts
and fears like the following that have come to my mind:
Even though we’ve been chased out of many a place ….
Even though it’ s not been safe to settle down for any length of time ….Even though I don’ t feel safe here ….
Even though I have a history laden with fighting and jealous ancestors
….
Even though the Holocaust happened and I get upset each time I think
about it ….
Even though we’ve been playing out this issue for centuries ….
Stress Patterns That Show Up
as W e Grow Older
When we are in our teens and twenties, we have more “give” in our bodies
—more health, vitality, and flexibility to survive in the face of stressful
experiences. However, as long as we have unresolved stressful experiences
from childhood, we are still experiencing unconscious default stress
patterns. That would be just fine, except that we don’ t stay young forever.
Our unconscious stress response patterns build up as we age. At some
point, the bucket gets full and then the stress can affect our emot ional health
and our physical  health. You’ve surely heard things such as: “After the (bad
event), my anxiety got really bad.” Or, “After Mom died, I started having
the pain and went on disability.” In most cases, the problem didn’ t start just
then; it had probably been building for years. It’ s probably been a pattern all
of our lives, only now we have the opportunity to deal with things
differently.
When a big event comes along, the bucket spills over immedi ately and
the secret is revealed: your stress response is so big that your body can no
longer keep a lid on it. Your body is just doing what it has always done,
however—listening to your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about something
and then reacting with a biolog ical stress response. That’ s how seemingly
“just one” stressful event can lead to significant trauma.
You begin to ask yourself when the first time you felt stress like this was.
When’ s the first time you had a feeling in your body that feels like this?
What does today ’s feeling remind you of from earlier years? Use your bodyas a guide, pay attention to the sensations that arise, and tap on them. These
often lead a person to a specif ic early childhood event where the stress
reaction pattern originated or the cause of the current-day problem.
Traumatic Str ess with a Capital T
Sometimes, just one big traum a has set a stress pattern in motion. Jan
Luther, EFT founding master, talks about this pivotal time as the moment
everything changed—when a person is seriously injured in a crash, an
assault, when a loved one is murdered, and so on.19 When you are working
through trauma tic stress, it can be especially helpful to work with an
experienced EFT practitioner.
Belief Systems and Str ess
Until my body’ s breakdown forced me to get off that hamster ’s wheel,
nothing was going to change. Looking back, I can now see that enforced
rest was the best thing that could have happened. The body never lies. I
began listening to my body and partnering with it. I realized that restoring it
was the most productive, loving  thing I could do—for me and my family. It
was a giant step, understanding that the first loyalty I had was to take care
of myse lf. I am a single mama  and

 think the world has outgrown superstition. I
have bucked up against medical superstitions of all kinds
all my life, and I know that clear -thinking minds are as
scarce as hens’ teeth. Many compliment me on my clear
reasoning on medical subjects; but the moment I cross the
border -line into their ethical, moral and theological
preserves, they remind me of my t respassing in no
uncertain terms. Even my own profession is quick to ink
the waters of my reasoning by declaring that I am an
infidel —a word that fills the elect with abhorrence. Who is
an infidel? One who rejects a senseless convention. Didn’t
Christ repu diate the Jehovic cult?

   The average mind prefers the old interpretation of to the
“new -fangled” definitions. Until the world agrees on one
dictionary, one Bible, and one God, the tempest in the
teapot of misunderstanding will continue to ebullate,
sending the atomized fundamentalists heavenward and the
anatomized modernists hellward.

    Of course, God made man. He made everything. But why
not find out just how He made him? Surely there is as much
“glory to God” in discovering just how He did it as i n
accepting an infantile interpretation which up to date has
got us nowhere. When we know how man is made, we shall
understand the laws of his being; and it will not be
necessary for him to die of apoplexy, stone in the gall -
bladder or kidney, hardening of  the arteries, or any other
so-called disease caused by breaking the laws of his body
and mind.

   If we do our duty to our children, shall we teach them the
laws of their being and how to respect them, or shall we go
on in the same old way, and, when th ey get sick from
breaking the laws of their being and ruin their health, call a
surgeon who will cut out God’s mistakes? Think it over; or,
if you’re too fanatical or bigoted to think, pay a surgeon to
cut out the effects of wrong living, and continue the cause.

LET US REASON TOGETHER!

   Let us do a little homely reasoning. We are inclined to be
awed by the word “infinite.” The infinite is limitless to our
limited comprehension —it is a relative term and
ambiguous; but, as we grow in experience, our on ce limited comprehensions take on extended dimensions. Each
person’s infinite is personal and varies from every other
person’s comprehension. We cannot think in terms of the
limitless, and we should not try; for, if we know the
analysis of an atom of salt,  we know the analysis of the
infinite amount there is in the world. This is true of all
elements. If we know the analysis of a pound of butter, we
know the analysis of the infinite amount contained in the
world. If we know all about a man, we know all abou t all
men. If we know what finite love is, we know that infinite
love is of the same character.

   We should keep our feet on the ground —stay on earth —
and be satisfied that all worlds are like our world.

HOW TO MEASURE THE INFINITE

   We know al l by an intensive study of a part. If we know
all about one disease, we know all about all diseases.

   We shall tell the reader all about Toxemia, and then he
should know all about all diseases; for Toxemia is the basic
cause of all diseases.

   Inste ad of beginning at the top of any subject, we should begin at the bottom and work up. The usual way for our
finite minds is to accept the infinite on faith; then to us the
comprehensible does not agree with our preconception, our
faith is shocked, our hous e of belief is divided against
itself, and we fall. This is the parting of the ways; and we
must reconcile our faith and knowledge by transferring our
faith to the belief that the road to all knowledge is by way
of the comprehensible. We must either do thi s or live in
doubt concerning the knowable, and accept the unknowable
on faith.

   Every truth squares itself with every other truth; every
department of science and reason blends into a unit. The
laws of life are those of the cosmos; the laws of the
universe are the laws of God. The road to an understanding
of God is from rock to man, and through man to God.
Every step must be a block of truth, or God, the goal, will
be sidestepped. Behold the head -on collision of the
Christian world and the wholesale ma ssacre that took place
during the World War —all due to undigested truth. The
world is full of truth; but mental indigestion, due to wrong
food combinations, is universal.

   Many think they know what I mean when I use the word
“Toxemia,” having referred to the dictionary for its
definition.  TOXEMIA, THE BASAL CAUSE
OF ALL SO -CALLED DISEASES

Toxin Poisoning —Toxin: Any of a class of poisonous
compounds of animal, bacterial, and vegetable origin —any
poisonous ptomaine. (Standard Dictionary.)

   There a re so many ways for the blood to become
poisoned that, unless what I mean by “Toxemia” is
thoroughly comprehended, there must be a confused
understanding. This explanation is made necessary because
even professional men have said to me: “Oh, yes, I believe
in the poisoning resulting froin retained excretions
(constipation) and ptomaine (food) poisoning.”

   As stated before, a ptomaine poisoning resulting from the
ingestion of food that has taken on a state of putrescence, or
a poisoning resulting from th is change taking place in food
after it has been eaten, and which is generally called
autotoxemia, is not an autogenerated poisoning. Both of
these poisons are generated on the outside of the body, and
must be absorbed before the blood can be poisoned. Foo d
or poison in the intestines is still on the outside of the body.
A suppurating wound, ulcer, or chancre is on the outside of
the body, and if it causes septic (blood) poisoning, it will be
because the waste -products are not allowed to drain —to escape. Th e discharge being obstructed, it becomes septic,
and its forced absorption poisons the blood. Even vaccinia
fails to produce septic poisoning, because its poison is
discharged on the surface —on the outside of the body.
Occasionally the waste -products are f orced to enter the
blood because of faulty dressings; then septic poisoning,
with death, follows.

THE DEADLY GERM

   It should not be forgotten that unobstructed free drainage
from wounds, ulcers, canals, ducts, keep them aseptic (non -
poisonous). The deadly germ  on the hands, lips, drinking -
cups, hanging -straps of street cars —in fact, found
anywhere and everywhere —is not deadly until it gets
mixed up with man’s deadly dirty, filthy physical and
mental habits. There are people who cannot be taught
clean liness; they either scrub their bodies raw or neglect
them overtime. It is an art to wear clothes and maintain a
state of cleanliness conducive to health. Venereal and all
skin diseases, including the eruptive fevers, are fostered by
clothes. There is some thing more than prejudice,
fanaticism, and partisanship in my reiterated allusions to
the congenerie relationship of syphilis, vaccination, and

deadly toxic state. The dog or other animal licks it out of
his wound. When the “deadly germ” is osculated into the

with all the “deadly germs” allotted to each person.

Jade Fountain : Drinking directly from the jade fountain repre
sented a serious quest for life-nutrients to sexual alchemists. As a
modern love game, it is a most delightful experienc e for women.
This is not the run-of-the-mill oral-genital play of kissing the
vulva; it involves the more complex eliciting of jade essence from
the fountain. The experience of the man in this game has been
compared to eating a freshly split pomegranate, or "peach of im
mortality"; the experience of the woman is indescribable.
The game requires first of all complete cleanliness. The woman
lies on her back with her knees bent, her thighs spread wide, her
feet on the edge of the bed; she also may slump in an armchair,
with her knees bent on the armrests. The man kneels down, fac
ing her. (Alternatively, the par tners may both lie in bed on their
sides, or one on top of the other, in reverse directions. These two
positions arc good for this game alone or, when combined with
Playing the Flute, in the favorite French game of soixante-neuf, or
()�whose very name is a visual representation of mutal oral
genital play.)
The man kisses the woman's mons veneris, then opens the
outer lips of her vulva with his fingers, and kisses the inner lips.
He should usc his tongue to caress the inner lips, which should
already be blood- engorged. If you consider the vulva as the sides
of a boat, the urethra, the vaginal orifice, and the four vestibular
glands arc on the bottom of this boat. Sweep the tip of the tongue
up and down the boat bottom. Thrust the tongue into thl· vagina Spring Butterfly and Peacock Tease

Soixante-neuf lol'e-play
212 and pull it out, and repeat rhythmically. The tongue caress gradu
ally goes to the clitoral area. Kiss the little button with your lips.
Suck it very gently, and tickle its tip with your tongue like a but
terfly. Use the rough surface of the tongue to lick upward from
the base of the clitoris shaft. Alternate the caresses between the
clitoris and the vulva, concen trating on maneuvers that elicit your
partner's n1ost enthusiastic responses.
This game will inevitably cause the jade fountain to overflow
with jade essence from the vestibular glands and the grotto wall. It
may produce some surprising sound effects as \veil.

Flute-playing, especially the deep-throat variety, can bring a
man to ejaculate in his partner's mouth. Some women avidly
swallow the elixir, which scientists say is clean and harmless and
which the ancients believed beneficial. Other women, however,
do not care for this. If her partner does ejaculate, a woman can
keep the fluid in her mouth and then spit it out. Or better yet, she
can arrange with him beforehand to signal when he senses the
brink is near.
These bedroom games for grown-ups can be played with many
variations, according to the desires of the individuals involved.
The pace may range from the leisurely to the energetic, the adap
tations from the traditional to the bizarre. Whatever the erotic
fancy of the lovers, they should avoid any circumstances that
might cause mental, physical, or emotional harm to each other. Sprin.\! Buttr�fly and Peacock Tease 16

Intensifyi ng and Prolonging Ecstasy
THE BASIC PUR POSE of the ancient Chinese art of lovemaking, as
has been suggested, is threefold: to delay the man, accelerate the
woman, and prolong and intensify pleasure for both. The various
techniques of coitus were developed with these goals in n1ind.
When we borrow from this art for the tnodern bedrootn, it

rather than a rigid approach.
We can irnplerncnt the ancient art on at least two levels. First,

can reward then1sclv cs with son1e advanct ·d lovernaking. Good
lovers can give unbelievable sexual pleasure to their part ners. A
nun can bring a wonun to a series of "little deaths" in the fonn of

COI TAL FIT
Sorne cou ples arc unaware that n1crc genital incompatibility, es
pecially discrepancy in size, n1ay be the reason for their sexual
problcn1s. Anthropologists tell us that human beings have the
largest brains and genitals a1nong the primates. The average length
of an erect hun1an penis is 6 inches, or 15 centimeters. The aver
age depth of the human vagina is 4 inches, or 1 o centimeters. This
difference is not a problen1 in itself, as the vagina is clastic


 that it is non-existent.
An illusion is not something that is non-existent. It is something that does
exist but is not what it appears to be.
     All illusions have a reality to them. For instance, the landscape in a movie
is an illusion but its reality, relatively speaking, is the screen. The water in a
mirage is illusory, but light is its reality. The snake we believe we see in the
twilight is really a rope. In each case, all we are actually seeing is the reality
of the illusory object, albeit with an illusion superimposed onto it.
     Just as the aware physical space in the room owes its reality to the unli -
mited aware space of the universe but borrows its limitations from the four
walls of the room, so the apparently separate self or ego owes its reality to
ever-present, unlimited awareness but borrows its apparent limitations from
the qualities of experience with which it seems to be mixed or identified.
     This is why everyone’s sense of ‘being myself’ is absolutely and undeniably
real. It’s just that, in most people’s experience, their sense of self is so thor -
oughly mixed with the content of experience that, whilst they always know
their self to an extent, they do not know their self clearly.
 you are the happiness you seek
you always know your self

T o better understand the relationship between the apparently separate self
or ego and our true nature of pure awareness, consider again the actor, John
Smith, who plays the part of King Lear.
     John Smith lives a peaceful and fulfilled life at home. Every evening he
goes to his theatre, puts on a costume, assumes a series of thoughts, feelings,
activities and relationships and seems to become King Lear, without, of
course, ever actually ceasing to be John Smith.
     However, although John Smith always knows that he is John Smith, he
sometimes becomes so absorbed in, or identified with, the thoughts, feelings,
activities and relationships of the part he is playing that he forgets or over -
looks himself. He loses himself in his own creativity and, as a result, his
knowledge of himself as John Smith is temporarily obscured by the belief
and feeling that he is King Lear.
     King Lear is not a person in his own right, so even the belief ‘I am King Lear’
is really John Smith’s knowledge of himself, albeit coloured by the character of
King Lear. In other words, there are not two people, John Smith and King Lear.
There is  one person, either revealed as John Smith or concealed as King Lear.
     As such, King Lear is an imaginary  person, an  illusory  self, created by the
mixture of the very real person, John Smith, with certain thoughts, feelings,
activities and relationships. However, from his own perspective, King Lear
believes and feels that he is a real person, and he suffers accordingly. King
Lear is right to feel that he is real, but he wrongly attributes that reality to
himself as an independently existing person, forgetting that his sense of him -
self is derived solely from the reality of John Smith. John Smith is, as such,
the reality of the illusory person King Lear.

In the same way, the unlimited awareness that we essentially are becomes
mixed up in, or identified with, the content of experience – thoughts, feelings
and sensations – and seems, as a result, to acquire their limitations.
     Just as John Smith ‘clothes’ himself in thoughts, feelings and activities
and seems, as a result, to become King Lear, so we, awareness, ‘clothe’ ourself
in experience and seem to become a temporary, finite self.
     The temporary, finite self that we seem to be feels very real because it is
real. Its reality is ever-present, unlimited awareness. All that is unreal or, more
84there is only one self
accurately, illusory about it are the limitations we ascribe to it. These limita -
tions are imaginary. They are superimposed by thought onto the reality of
our self.
     Suggesting that you get ‘occasional glimpses’ of your true nature is like
suggesting that King Lear gets occasional glimpses of John Smith. It is not
King Lear who has glimpses of, or comes to know, John Smith, for John
Smith is the only person present.
     John Smith is always knowing himself, but his knowledge of himself is
mixed with certain thoughts, feelings, activities and relationships, and there -
fore he ceases to know himself clearly. He knows himself partially, for even
his belief in himself as King Lear is really his knowledge of himself as John
Smith, albeit veiled or dimmed.
     Likewise, you always know yourself. That is, you, awareness, always know
yourself, but your knowledge of yourself is mixed up with thoughts, feelings,
sensations, activities and relationships and, therefore, you do not know your -
self clearly. You have allowed yourself to become endarkened by experience.
What is commonly referred to as enlightenment is simply the removal of
your ignorance of yourself and the clear seeing of yourself as you essentially
are, before you are qualified in any way by experience.
     So there is no question of two selves, one either knowing or not knowing
the other. There is  just your self – ever-present, unlimited awareness – either
partially veiling itself with its own activity of thinking, feeling, sensing and
perceiving, and seeming, as a result, to be a temporary, finite self, or ceasing
to veil itself and thus knowing itself as it essentially is.

the price of name and form

Does this mean that as long as I seem to be a separate self and have experiences,
I will have problems and suffer?

Experience itself is not problematic; it is our identification with it that is
problematic. There is nothing inherently troublesome for John Smith about
assuming the character of King Lear. He does so for the sake of the play.
     For instance, doing so enables him to have three daughters, become the
king of England and go to war with France. However, it is problematic for
John Smith to lose himself so completely in the character of King Lear that
85you are the happiness you seek
he forgets who he really is. His suffering does not begin with assuming the
character of King Lear; it begins with the belief that he is that character.
     Now imagine that, as the character King Lear, John Smith becomes so
lost in the drama of his experience that he forgets to revert to himself at the
end of the play. A colleague who comes backstage to congratulate him on
his performance is surprised to find him miserable.
     ‘Why are you so unhappy?’ he asks, and in response, King Lear recounts
his troubles with his daughters, his kingdom and the war with France. ‘You
are not miserable for any of these reasons’, his friend remonstrates. ‘You are
miserable because you have forgotten who you really are! Who are you really?’
     ‘I am the father of three daughters, I am the king of England and I am
at war with France, to name just a few of my troubles!’ King Lear protests.
     His response is, of course, only partially true. In each of these descrip -
tions he refers to his essential knowledge of himself as ‘I am’. However, his
knowledge of himself is mixed with the content of his experience. He has
allowed himself to be qualified by his experience, and as a result he no
longer knows himself clearly. This lack of clear self-knowledge is alone
responsible for his suffering.
     ‘No!’ exclaims his friend. ‘You have not always been a father or a king,
nor have you always been at war. Who are you prior to these relationships
and activities?’ King Lear describes his thoughts and feelings, but again his
friend reminds him that none of these are essential to him. They all con -
tinually appear and disappear in his experience, but he remains.
     Without realising it, King Lear is travelling back through layers of his
experience towards his essential self or being.
     As his friend’s questions continue, King Lear finds it more and more
difficult to respond. Long silences replace his previously agitated thoughts
and feelings, for he cannot find any words to describe the nature of himself.
The more deeply he sinks into himself, the less he feels he is defined by the
character of King Lear. Then, at some point, he comes to himself, remembers
himself: ‘I am John Smith!’

There is nothing extraordinary or mysterious about the recognition ‘I am
John Smith’. It is not some new knowledge that John Smith acquires.
On the contrary, all that has happened is that his previous ignorance of him -
self has been removed. In fact, knowing himself as John Smith is the most
86there is only one self
intimate, ordinary and familiar experience he has. It was simply obscured
on account of his immersion in, or identification with, the content of
experience.
     All of King Lear’s suffering arises on behalf of himself, the one whom he
believes is being disrespected and maltreated by his daughters. However, if he
looks inside himself, he undoubtedly finds thoughts and feelings, but he does
not find the mistreated man, the suffering self, on whose behalf they arise.
     The actual person King Lear cannot be found. He does not exist as such.

regarding	the	mission	of	the	committee.	In	addition	to	announcing	our
formation,	the	news	release	listed	examples	of	the	kind	of	nutrition	frauds	that
our	committee	intended	to	expose.
As	I	scanned	the	list	of	so-called	frauds,	I	was	stunned	to	see	the	1977
McGovern	dietary	goals
5
	on	the	list.	First	drafted	in	1976,	these	relatively
modest	goals	suggested	that	less	meat	and	fat	consumption	and	more	fruit	and
vegetable	consumption	might	prevent	heart	disease.	In	this	proposed	news
release,	they	were	described	as	nothing	more	than	simple	quackery,	just	like
the	widely	condemned	Laetrile	and	pangamic	acid	preparations.	In	essence,
the	recommendation	to	shift	our	eating	habits	to	more	fruits	and	vegetables
and	whole	grains	was	a	fraud.	This	was	the	committee’s	attempt	to
demonstrate	their	ability	to	be	the	supreme	arbiter	of	reliable	scientific
information!
Having	looked	forward	to	my	membership	on	this	new	committee,	I	was
shocked	to	see	what	was	emerging.	Although	I	had	no	particular	predilection
toward	any	one	type	of	diet	at	the	time,	I	knew	that	the	landmark	diet,
nutrition	and	cancer	panel	that	I	was	on	at	the	National	Academy	of	Sciences
would	likely	recommend	something	similar	to	McGovern’s	goals,	this	time
citing	cancer	research	instead	of	heart	disease	research.	The	scientific	results
with	which	I	was	familiar	very	clearly	seemed	to	justify	the	moderate
recommendations	made	by	McGovern’s	dietary	goals	committee.
Sitting	next	to	me	at	our	first	meeting	was	Alf	Harper,	whom	I	had	held	in
high	esteem	since	our	days	at	MIT	where	he	was	the	General	Foods	Professor
of	Nutritional	Sciences.	Early	in	the	meeting,	when	this	handwritten	proposed
news	release	was	passed	out	to	the	committee	members,	I	leaned	over	to
Harper	and	pointed	to	the	place	where	it	listed	McGovern’s	dietary	goals
amongst	other	common	scams	and	whispered	incredulously,	“Do	you	see
this?”
Harper	could	sense	my	unease,	even	disbelief,	and	so	quickly	spoke
up.	In
a	patronizing	tone,	he	said	to	the	group,	“There	are	honorable	people	in	our
society	who	may	not	necessarily	agree	with	this	list.	Perhaps	we	should	put	iton	hold.”	A	reluctant	discussion	ensued,	and	they	decided	to	forgo	the
proposed	press	release.
With	the	conclusion	of	the	news	release	issue,	the	meeting	came	to	an	end.
As	far	as	I	was	concerned,	it	was	a	dubious	beginning,	at	best.
A	couple	of	weeks	later,	back	in	upstate	New	York,	I	turned	on	a	morning
TV	news	show	and	Tom	Brokaw	appeared	on	the	screen	and	started	talking
about	nutrition	with	Bob	Olson,	of	all	people.	They	were	discussing	a	recent
report	that	Olson	and	friends	had	produced	at	the	National	Academy	of
Sciences	called	“Toward	Healthful	Diets.”	This	report,	which	was	one	of	the
briefest,	most	superficial	reports	on	health	ever	produced	by	the	NAS,
extolled	the	virtues	of	the	high-fat,	high-meat	American	diet	and	basically
confirmed	that	all	was	well	with	how	America	was	eating.
From	a	scientific	point	of	view,	the	message	was	a	doozy.	I	remember	one
exchange	where	Tom	Brokaw	asked	about	fast	food,	and	Olson	confidently
stated	that	McDonald’s	hamburgers	were	fine.	With	millions	of	viewers
watching	this	“expert”	praise	the	health	value	of	McDonald’s	hamburgers,	it’s
no	wonder	that	consumers	around	the	country	were	confused.	Only	a	handful
of	insiders	could	possibly	know	that	his	views	did	not	even	come	close	to
reflecting	the	best	understanding	of	the	science	at	the	time.THE	SECOND	MEETING
We	were	back	for	round	two	in	Atlantic	City	at	our	annual	meeting	in	late
spring	of	1981.	From	our	correspondence	over	the	past	year,	the	committee
already	had	an	informal	agenda	in	place.	First,	we	were	to	establish	the
proposition	that	nutrition	scams	were	eroding	the	public’s	trust	in	the	nutrition
research	community.	Second,	we	needed	to	publicize	the	idea	that	advocating
more	vegetable	and	fruit	consumption	and	less	meat	and	high-fat	foods	was,
itself,	a	scam.	Third,	we	intended	to	position	our	committee	as	a	permanent,
standing	organization.	Up	to	this	point,	our	group	had	only	served	in	a
temporary	capacity,	as	an	exploratory	committee.	Now	it	was	time	to	get	on
with	our	job	of	becoming	the	permanent,	principle	source	of	reliable	nutrition
information	in	the	U.S.
Within	the	first	few	days	of	arriving	at	the	convention,	a	fellow	member	of
the	committee,	Howard	Applebaum,	told	me	of	the	developing
gossip.	“Did
you	hear?”	he	whispered.	“Olson’s	decided	that	they’re	going	to	reconstitute
the	committee	and	you	are	going	to	be	removed.”	At	that	time,	Olson	was	still
serving	his	one-year	term	as	president	of	the	parent	society,	the	American
Institute	of	Nutrition,	and	had	the	power	to	do	such	things.
I	remember	thinking	that	this	news	was	neither	surprising	nor
disappointing.	I	knew	I	was	the	black	sheep	of	the	committee	and	had	already
stepped	out	of	line	at	our	inaugural	meeting	the	previous	year.	My	continued
involvement	in	this	particular	group	was	going	to	amount	to	nothing	more
than	trying	to	swim	up	Niagara	Falls.	The	only	reason	I	was	involved	in	the
first	place	was	because	the	director	of	the	public	affairs	office	at	the	FASEB
had	secured	me	the	spot.
I	had	thought	the	first	year’s	committee	meeting	was	dubious,	but	I	ran
into	an	even	more	bizarre	beginning	at	that	second	meeting	a	year	later,
before	Olson	had	the	chance	to	remove	me.	When	the	proposal	to	become	a
permanent	organization	within	our	society	was	put	forth,	I	was	the	only	one	to
challenge	the	idea.	I	expressed	concern	that	this	committee	and	its	activities
reeked	of	McCarthyism,	which	had	no	place	in	a	scientific	research	society.
What	I	was	saying	made	the	chair	of	the	committee	intensely	angry	and
physically	hostile,	and	I	decided	it	was	best	to	just	leave	the	room.	I	was
clearly	a	threat	to	everything	the	committee	members	wanted	to	achieve.
After	relating	the	whole	ordeal	to	the	newly-elected	incoming	president	of
the	society,	Professor	Doris	Calloway	of	UC	Berkeley,	the	committee	was
abolished	and	reformed,	with	me	as	the	chair.	Fortunately,	I	persuaded	our
six-member	committee	to	disband	after	less	than	a	year,	and	the	whole	sorry
affair	came	to	an	end.To	stay	and	“fight	the	good	fight,”	so	to	speak,	was	not	an	option.	It	was
early	in	my	career	and	the	awesome	power	wielded	by	the	seniors	in	my
society	was	st

 for example,
whether your sense of self?worth is bound up with things you possess.
Do certain things induce a subtle feeling of importance or superiority?
Does the lack of them make you feel inferior to others who have more
than you? Do you casually mention things you own or show them of f to
increase your sense of worth in someone elses eyes and through them in
your own? Do you feel resentful or angry and somehow diminished in
your sense of self when someone else has more than you or when you
lose a prized possession?A New Earth
T H E  L O S T  R I N G
When I was seeing people as a counselor and spiritual teacher, I would
visit a woman twice a week whose body was riddled with cancer. She
was a schoolteacher in her mid?forties and had been given no more than
a few
months to live by her doctors. Sometimes a few words were spoken
during those visits, but mostly we would sit together in silence, and as
we did, she had her first glimpses of the stillness within herself that she
never knew existed during her busy life as a schoolteacher.
One day, however, I arrived to find her in a state of great distress and
anger. What happened I asked. Her diamond ring, of great monetary as
well as sentimental value, had disappeared, and she said she was sure it
had been stolen by the woman who came to look after her for a few
hours every day. She said she didnt understand how anybody could be so
callous and heartless as to do this to her. She asked me whether she
should confront the woman or whether it would be better to call the
police immediately. I said I couldnt tell her what to do, but asked her to
find out how important a rig or anything else was at this point in hr life.
Y ou dont understand, she said. This was my grandmothers ring. I used to
wear it every day until I got ill and my hands became too swollen. Its
more than just a ring to me. How can I not b upset?
The quickness of her response and the anger and defensiveness in her
voice were indications that she had not yet become present enough to
look within and to disentangle her reaction from the event and observe
them both. Her anger and defensiveness were signs that the ego was still
speaking through her. I said, I am going to ask you a few questions, but
instead of answering them now, see if you can find the answers within
you. I will pause briefly after each question. When an answer comes, it
may not necessarily come in the form of words. She said she was ready
to listen. I asked: Do you realize that you will have to let go of the ring at
some point, perhaps quite soon? How much more time do you needbefore you will be ready to let go of it? W ill you become less when you
let go of it? Has who you are become diminished by the loss? There were
a few minutes of silence after the last question.
When she started speaking again, there was a smile on her face, and she
seemed at peace. The last question made me realize something
important. First I went to my mind for an answer and my mind said, Y es,
f course you have been diminished. Then I asked myself the question
again, Has who I am become diminished? This time I tried to feel rather
than think the answer. And suddenly I could feel my I Am?ness. I have
never felt
that before. If I can feel the I Am so strongly, then who I am hasnt been
diminished at all. I can still feel it now, something peaceful but very
alive.
That is the joy of Being, I said. Y ou can only feel it when you get out of
your head. Being must be felt. It cant be thought. The ego doesnt know
about it because thought is what it consists of. The ring was really in
your head as a thought that you confused with the sense of I Am. Y ou
thought the I Am or a part of it was in the ring.
Whatever the ego seeks and gets attached to are substitutes for the Being
that it cannot feel. Y ou can value and care for things, but whenever you
get attached to them, you will know its the ego. And you are never really
attached to a thing but to a thought that has I, me, or mine in it.
Whenever you completely accept a loss, you go beyond ego, and who
you are, the I Am which is consciousness itself, emer ges.
She said, Now I understand something Jesus said that never made much
sense to me before: If someone takes your shirt, let him have your coat
as well.
Thats right, I said. It doesnt mean you should never lock your door. All it
means is that sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power
than defending or hanging on.
In the last few weeks of her life as her body became weaker, she became
more and more radiant, as if light were shining through her. She gave
many of her possessions away, some to the woman she thought had
stolen the ring, and with each thing she gave away, her joy deepened.When her mother called me to let me know she had passed away, she
also mentioned that after her death they found her ring in the medicine
cabinet in the bathroom. Did the woman return the ring, or had it been
there all the time? Nobody will ever know. One thing we do know: Life
will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of
your consciousness. How do you now this is the experience you need?
Because this is the experience you are having at this moment.
Is it wrong then to be proud of ones possessions or to feel resentful
toward people to have more than you? Not at all. That sense of pride, of
needing to stand out, the apparent enhancement of ones self through
more than and diminishment through less than is neither right nor wrong
it is
the ego. The ego isnt wrong; its just unconscious. When you observe the
ego in yourself, you are beginning to go beyond it. Dont take the ego too
seriously. When you detect egoic behavior in yourself, smile. At times
you may even laugh. How could humanity have been taken in by this for
so long? Above all, know that the ego isnt personal. It isnt who you are.
If you consider the ego to be your personal problem, thats just more ego.A New Earth
T H E  I L L U S I O N  O F  O W N E R S H I P
T o own something what does it really mean? What does it mean to make
something mine? If you stand on a street in New Y ork, point to a huge
skyscraper and say, That building is mine. I own it, you are either very
wealthy or you are delusional or a liar. In any case, you are telling a story
in which the thought form I and the thought form building mer ge into
one. Thats how the mental concept of ownership works. If everybody
agrees with your story, there will be signed pieces of paper to certify
their agreement with it. Y ou are wealthy. If nobody agrees with the story,
they will send you to a psychiatrist. Y ou are delusional, or a compulsive
liar.
It is important to recognize here that the story and the thought forms that
make up the story, whether people agree with it or not, have absolutely
nothing to do with who you are. Even if people agree with it, it is
ultimately a fiction. Many people dont realize until they are on their
deathbed and everything external falls away that no thing ever had
anything to do with who they are. In the proximity of death, the whole
concept of ownership stands revealed as ultimately meaningless. In the
last moments of their life, they then also realize that while they were
looking throughout their lives for a more complete sense of self, what
they were really looking for, their Being, had actually always already
been there, but had been lar gely obscured by their identification with
things, which ultimately means identification with their mind.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, Jesus said, for theirs will be the kingdom
of heaven. What does poor in spirit mean? No inner baggage, no
identifications. Not with things, nor with any mental concepts that have a
sense of self in them. And what is the kingdom of heaven The simple but
profound joy of Being that is there when you let og of identifications and
so become poor in spirit.
This is why renouncing all possessions has been an ancient spiritual
practice in both East and W est. Renunciation of possessions, however,will not automatically free you of the ego. It will attempt to ensure its
survival by finding something else to identify with, for example, a
mental image of yourself as someone who has transcended all interest in
material possessions and is therefore superior, is more spiritual than
others. There are people who have renounced all possessions but have a
bigger ego than some millionaires. If you take away one kind of
identification, the ego will quickly find another. It ultimately doesnt
mind what it identifies with as long as it has an identity. Anti?
consumerism or anti?private ownership would be another thought form,
another mental position, that can replace identification with possessions.
Through it you could make yourself right and others wrong. As we shall
see later, making yourself right and others


 food which is
practically immune to criticis~x. Yet, in modern life milk is often
far from perfect. The value of milk depends largely upon the
feeding habits of the cow, the health of the cow, cleanliness of
milk handling, and the methods of processing. Unfortunately
many cows on modern farms are poorly fed, with insufficient
green feed during much of the year. They receive toxic doses of
antibiotic drugs both in their food and as injections, and many
are afflicted with various diseases. The milk itself is handled and
transported with frequent disregard to cleanliness. Finally, to
compensate for all these measures, the milk is pasteurized to
make it safe and mixed with synthetic vitamin D to make it
nutritious.
But the solution is not equal to the original problem. Much
of our milk supply, aside from being perfect, is hardly fit for
human consumption. So much residual penicillin has been found
in some milk that the cheese industry has found the milk useless
as a starter culture. Such milk also has an antagonistic effect upon
developing yogurt. Individuals sensitive to penicillin cannot
always drink the milk without experiencing allergic reactions.
The milk may be low in mineral and vitamin content, and its
nutritive value is further impaired to a marked degree through
the process of pasteurization. After the milk is processed with
synthetic vitamin D, it gives toxic reactions in animal feeding
tests. The finished product is no longer a natural food and pro- DANGERS IN MODERN FOODS
duces some of the same ill-effects as do the other processed foods
of civilization.
It may be noted that all of these objections are to the methods
of producing, handling, and processing milk, and not to milk
itself. Further, the objections are confined largely to the ordinary
commercial methods of milk production. Certified raw milk is
produced under superior standards which provide a much better
grade of milk. There are presently 26 certified dairy farms in the
United States, which retain their license for certification only
by producing and handling milk according to the strictest feed-
ing, milking, and milk handling rules and regulations. Such
regulations are set, supervised, and enforced by local medical milk
commissions. Certified raw milk must test 500 or less bacteria
count per cubic centimeter, whereas most health department
regulations permit a maximum of 30,000 to 50,000 bacteria per
cubic centimeter in ordinary pasteurized milk. So it can be seen
that certified milk is up to loo times as pure before pasteuriza-
tion as is regular milk after pasteurization.
This does not mean that all raw milk must be derived from a
certified source of supply. Obtain certified milk if you can, but
in any case obtain raw milk. While certified milk is the purest
milk, from a bacteriological standpoint, it is not the only good
milk. Non-certified producers of raw cow's milk and raw goat
milk do not have the false sense of security that pasteurization
provides, and hence they usually handle their milk with reasonable
care as to cleanliness. Excellent grades of non-certified raw milk
have been available in such communities where raw milk could
legally be sold. As long as such milk has not been processed with
synthetic vitamin D, and as long as it does not contain traces of
antibiotic drugs, it is suitable for use. Good raw milk, certified or
non-certified, is rich in essential nutritive factors and represents
one of the finest all-around foods for human consumption. VIII. Cheese
A HE MILK PRODUCT, CHEESE, CAN BE
defective, as it is often contaminated with dangerous chemicals
added during manufacture. The "process" cheeses are most objec-
tionable in this respect. Yellow AB and yellow OB are two dyes
that are still used to color much cheese, in spite of the fact that
they have long been suspected as causes of cancer. For years
American manufacturers have been bleaching their Gorgonzola
and blue cheeses with a dangerous chemical, benzoyl peroxide,
which minimizes the yellow color of the cheese and destroys
vitamin A. One of the carrying agents of the bleaching process
is aluminum potassium sulfate, which is used in industry for
dyeing and printing fabrics, making cement, and producing explo-
sives. A yellowish-green liquid, diacetyl, is often used in cottage
cheese to impart an artificial butter aroma to the product. Alginic
acid is a common stabilizer in process cheese, and methyl cellulose,
used industrially for making cosmetics and greaseproof paper, is
added as a thickening agent. Phosphoric acid, normally used for
making rustproof metals, helps to give cheese a sharp taste. Sodi-
um carboxymethyl and citric, lactic, tartaric, and malic acids may
also be included as ingredients in cheese. Even the cheese wrap-
pers can be contaminated. On one occasion the Food and ~r;~
Administration seized 6,000 pounds of cheese wrapped in a
preserving agent that was treated with a chemical as poisonous
as carbolic acid. Only a freak accident led to this discovery. It is
important to remember that most cheese is produced,- trans- DANGERS IN MODERN FOODS
ported, and sold without inspection, irrespective of any possible
contamination with poisonous chemicals.
Fortunately, there are still some relatively safe cheeses available
for public consumption. A number of the so-called "natural"
cheeses fall into this category. There are even a few domestic
sources of cheese made from raw milk, which are nutritionally
far superior to cheeses made from pasteurized milk. It is also
still possible to purchase imported cheeses made from raw milk,
and these are usually free from chemical additives. The selection
of such cheeses, whenever possible, represents the solution to
the dangerous "process" cheese problem. IX. Canned Foods
HE CONSUMPTION OF CANNED FOODS T
has steadily risen during the past few decades. The rise of the
frozen food industry has reduced the consumption of fresh fruits,
vegetables, and meats, but it has not affected the consumption of
canned foods, as is shown by the record 1957 production of
i 7io,ooo,om cases of canned products. Thus we are confronted
kith a situation whereby canied foods have taken a place beside
refined grain products as staples of the American dietary. The can
opener and the cork screw have become the two chief implements
of the modern kitchen. This has serious consequences in terms
of human health.
I With few exceptions, foods are best consumed in their raw
state. In this way the consumer receives the full nutritional bene-
fit of the foods being eaten. If foods are not eaten raw, they are
best cooked at low temperatures for the shortest possible pkriod
of time. They should never be canned, for this involves the most
destructive methods of heat-processing. Most vegetables are
blanched prior to commercial canning, which causes some loss of
nutritional factors. ~urin~ the canning process itself, they are
cooked for 25 to 40 minutes at a temperature of 240 degrees I?.
or higher in order to achieve a complete sterilization of the food
product. Without complete sterilization, spoilage could set in
and the food would not be safe for human consumption.
It is impossible to sterilize foods without causing serious nutri-
tional losses at the same time, so canned foods are necessarily
denatured foods. Many canned products are also heavily salted; DANGERS IN MODERN FOODS
in the case of fruits and juices, refined sugar is often used as a
sweetening agent. Some of the sugar may be in form of glucose
in order to give additional weight and body to the product.
Artificial coloring and preserving agents may or may not be added.
The dangerous sodium benzoate contaminates some canned
foods. And this is not the end of the damage. Nutritional losses
can continue during storage, which may last from months to
years. When finally consumed, the canned product is thoroughly
devitalized and incapable of meeting the basic human require-
ment of good nutrition. X. Condiments
I
I C
ONDIMENTS HAVE PLAYED AN IMPORTANT
role in human history. Many of the early trade routes were
opened in the search for spices, and much exploration was done
on the same behalf. Spices were a treasured possession of the
few who could afford them. In addition to imparting a new flavor
I to foods, they were powerful germ killers and were thus effective
in preserving foods. For instance, cloves, pepper, and cinnamon
1 have been employed to keep fats from going rancid over a long
period of time.
,
I If condiments have helped man in some ways, they have not
helped him in all ways. Their effect upon human health has
I been a negative one. If condiments will kill the bacteria in food,
they may also kill some of the bacteria of the digestive tract,
which play an important role in the digestion of foods. If they
burn the tongue, there is evidence that they will irritate the
delicate mucous membrane of the entire alimentary canal and
may even have an irritating effect upon the blood vessels.
Experiments have shown this to be true. Dr. Enrique Sanchez-
I Palomera reported in June,


fortitude to bring down with primi tive implements. Researchers know these animals were hunted and not just found and
scavenged, not only because of the arrangement of bones at the butcher site, but through microscopic evidence as well. When
analyzed under a microscope, the bones of scaveng ed carcasses typically show the cut marks from the tools of the scavengers
lying over the tooth marks of the carnivores that actually made the kill, indicating that the scavenging came later. At Boxwo od,
archeologists found just the opposite. The cut marks  from the flint tools on the bones show evidence that tendons and
ligaments were severed to remove muscles from the bones. The cut marks compare to those produced by today's butchers
using modern tools. In the words of Michael Pitts and Mark Roberts, two o f the primary excavators at Boxgrove, "every animal
for which there is any evidence of interference by the hominids has been carefully, almost delicately, butchered for the expr ess
purpose of consuming the meat."

Further evidence of hunting comes from several actual wooden spears found throughout Europe that have proven to be the
oldest wooden objects of known use found anywhere in the world. Archeologists have dated an almost sixteen -inch-long spear
tip carved of yew wood found in 1911 in Clacton, Engl and, to be somewhere between 360,000 and 420,000 years old. Another
spear, also made of yew, that is almost eight feet long and dated to 120,000 years old was found amid the ribs of an extinct
elephant in Lehringen, Germany, in 1948. A few years ago excava tors in a coal mine near Schöninger, Germany, found three
spruce wood spears shaped like modern javelins, the longest of which measured over seven feet, that proved to be 300,000 to
400,000 years old. And at one of the butcher sites at Boxgrove, excavators  actually found a fossilized horse scapula that shows
what appears to be a spear wound.

The excavation at Boxgrove provided archeologists with another surprise. It had long been thought that such stone tools as
arrowheads and hand axes, once fashioned, we re carried around by their makers and used as needed, much as we do today
with modern hunting knives and other camp tools. Researchers who have practiced making prehistoric tools and arrowheads
from flint —flint knapping, as it's called —found the task tedio us, difficult, and fraught with the constant risk that one wrong strike
could destroy the tool in the making. As a result, the thinking was that the effort put into making quality stone tools was s o great
that the makers would surely value them and keep th em as long as they could. Amazingly, it appears from the meticulous
examination of these ancient sites that these hominid hunters were so adept at making flint tools for butchery that they knoc ked
them off on the spot, used them to skillfully dismember the ir prey, and left them at the site rather than carry them around. And
these weren't just crude flint chips; these were some of the finest flint hand axes ever found. Modern attempts to reproduce the
quality of these tools have usually fallen far short of the mark. Obviously these ancient hominids were skilled enough to whip
out a flawlessly made butchering tool at a moment's notice, a fact that implies a lifetime of hunting, butchering, and meat
consumption.

We know from these European sites that hominids  were actively hunting and eating meat as far back as five -hundred -thousand
years ago, but what about before that? The earliest stone tools date to around 2.6 million years ago and have been found in
association with extinct animals' bones from the same pe riod. Some of these have cut marks with overlying carnivore teeth
marks, indicating hunting, while others have carnivore teeth marks with overlying cut marks, implying scavenging. The most
probable conclusion is that protohumans back at least 2.6 million years ago —a time corresponding to the appearance of the
genus Homo —were engaged in the consumption of meat by either scavenging or hunting activities and probably a combination
of the two.

Prior to 2.6 million years ago the human line was represented by a ustralopithecines, which have been believed to be primarily
fleshy fruit eaters. So, it was thought, the human line developed the taste for meat sometime between the plant -eating
australopithecines and the appearance of Homo, but even that time frame has n ow been pushed back. Anthropologists Matt
Sponheimer and Julia Lee -Thorp from Rutgers University and the University of Cape Town, respectively, performed an
ingenious analysis on the remains of four three -million -year-old Australopithecus africanus specime ns found in a cave in South
Africa. Bones of this age are always fossilized, thus preventing researchers from extracting living material from them for
analysis, but not so for the tooth enamel; tooth enamel persists relatively unchanged through the milleni a and lends itself to
testing for organic content. Whatever is incorporated into the developing enamel stays there —in this case for three million
years. By testing for variations in the carbon atoms making up the tooth enamel researchers can determine what  the owner of
the tooth ate because different food sources contain specific carbon isotopes. When Sponheimer and Lee -Thorp analyzed the
australopithecine enamel for the content of Carbon -13, a heavy isotope typically found in grasses and in the flesh of gr ass-
eating animals, they found plentiful amounts, indicating that these hominids ate either a fair amount of grass or grass -eating
animals or both. Analysis of the surfaces of the teeth, however, didn't show the specific scratches that are the telltale si gns of
grass eaters, leading the researchers to conclude that australopithecines at least as far back as three million years ate mea t.

We have evidence tracking back three million years for meat eating by our ancestors and at least a five -hundred -thousand -year
history of skillful hunting. In terms of generations this means that we modern humans are the result of one-hundred -fifty-
thousand generations of meat eating, twenty -five-thousand generations of skilled hunting, but only a mere four -hundred to five -
hundred generations of agriculture. Since geneticists calculate that it takes at least two -thousand generatio ns for even minimal
changes to be manifest, it should be apparent that eons of meat eating forged our physiology and metabolism to respond
optimally on a diet containing significant amounts of meat. A low -fat, high -carbohydrate diet, the real fad diet in e volutionary
terms, limits the consumption of the meat we were designed by nature to eat and replaces it with starchy foods that our bodie s
haven't had the time to adapt to. It's no wonder the low -fat diet wasn't what it was cracked up to be. It's far too n ew for our
bodies to know what to do with.

BRAIN FOOD
Not only was meat a principal source of nutrition for developing man, it actually was the driving force allowing us to develo p our
large brains. For years anthropologists argued that we humans got our large brains because we had to develop them to learn
hunting strategies to capture and kill game much larger, faster, and meaner than ourselves. Anthropologists Leslie Aiello and
Peter Wheeler turned that idea on its head in a brilliant paper postulating t hat we were able to develop our large brains not to
learn to hunt but because the fruits of our hunting —nutrient -dense meat —allowed us to decrease the size of our digestive
tracts. The more nutrient dense the food, the less digestion it needs to extract th e nutrients, and consequently the smaller the
digestive tract required. (The human digestive tract, while longer than true carnivores, is the shortest of any of the primat es.)

Is meat really that nutritionally dense? Let's take a look at a few examples of  meat compared to plant foods and see. First, let's
look at protein. Protein is the only true essential macronutrient. Fat is also essential, but you can go a lot longer without  fat than
you can without protein. (Carbohydrates, the third macronutrient, are  totally unessential to human health.) So, if you are trying to
get protein you could eat 8 ounces of elk meat, a small amount by Paleolithic standards, and get about 65 grams of it. Or you
could eat almost 13 heads of lettuce to get the same amount. Or 56  bananas or 261 apples or even 33 slices of bread. If you're
trying to get methionine, an essential amino acid that the body uses to make glutathione, its major antioxidant, you could ea t the
same 8 ounces of elk, or you could eat any of the following: 22 heads of lettuce, 127 bananas, 550 apples, or 46 slices of
bread. In almost any nutrient category you want to look at, meat is going to come out a winner because of its incredible
nutritional richness that doesn't require much digestive activity to get to.


 will remember
that if iron-filings are scattered on a card held over a magnet
they will arrange themselves in the pattern of the 'lines of
force' of the magnet's field. And if the filings are thrown away
and fresh ones scattered on the card, the new filings will assume
the same pattern as the old.
Something like this-though infinitely more complicated
happens in the human body. Its molecules and cells are con
stantly being torn apart and rebuilt with fresh material from
the food we eat. But, thanks to the controlling L-field, the new
molecules and cells are rebuilt as before and arrange themselves
in the same pattern as the old ones.
Modern research with 'tagged' elements has revealed that the
materials of our bodies and brains are renewed much more often
than was previously realized. All the protein in the body, for
example, is 'turned over' every six months and, in some organs
such as the liver, the protein is renewed more frequently. When
12 AN ADVENTU RE IN SCI ENCE
we meet a friend we have not seen for six months there is not one
molecule in his face which was there when we last saw him. But,
thanks to his controlling L-field, the new molecules have fallen
into the old, familiar pattern and we can recognize his face.
Until modern instruments revealed the existence of the control
ling L-fields, biologists were at a loss to explain how our bodies
'keep in shape' through ceaseless metabolism and changes of
material. Now the mystery has been solved, the electro-dynamic
field of the body serves as a matrix or mould, which preserves the
'shape' or arrangement of any material poured into it, however
often the material may be changed.
When a cook looks at a jelly-mould she knows the shape
of the jelly she will turn out of it. In much the same way, in
spection with instruments of an L-field in its initial stage can
reveal the future'shape' or arrangement of the materials it will
mould. When the L-field in a frog's egg, for instance, is examined
electrically it is possible to show the future location of the frog's
nervous system because the frog's L-field is the matrix which will
determine the form which will develop from the egg. (See
page 61.)
Inspection of L-fields is done with special voltmeters and elec
trodes-to be described shortly-which reveal different patterns
or gradients of voltages in different parts of the L-field.
To return to the cook, when she uses a battered mould she
expects to find some dents or bulges in the jelly. Similarly, a
'battered' L-field-that is, one with abnormal voltage-patterns
-can give warning of something 'out of shape' in the body,
sometimes in advance of actual symptoms.
For example, malignancy in the ovary has been revealed by
L-field measurements before any clinical sign could be observed.
Such measurements, therefore, could help doctors to detect can
cer early, when there is a better chance of treating it successfully.
(See page 54 and Dr. Langman's paper in Part II.)
Nature keeps an infinite variety of electro-dynamic 'jelly
moulds' on her shelves with which she shapes the countless diff
erent forms of life that exist on this planet. L-fields have been
detected and measured not only in men and women but also in
animals, trees, plants, seeds, eggs and even in one of the lowest
13 AN ADVENTU RE IN SCIENCE
forms of life, slime-moulds.
Of these L-fields, those of trees can tell something that others
cannot because trees do not move about, live to a great age and
can be hitched up to recording instruments for long periods of
time. For many years a maple tree in New Haven and an elm in
Old Lyme were continuously connected to recording voltmeters
-something which, obviously, cannot be done with men and
women.
These long records showed that the L-fields of trees vary not
only with sunlight and darkness but also with the cycles of the
moon, with magnetic storms and with sunspots. (See page 97 and
Mr. Markson's paper in Part II.)
If such extra-terrestrial forces can influence the relatively
simple L-fields of trees we would expect them to have an even
greater influence on the more complex L-fields of men and
women; and there is evidence tha t they do.
These sturdy Connecticut trees, then, have helped to answer
the question which philosophers have disputed for centuries and
which many ask so anxiously today. For they have shown that
life on this planet is not isolated from the Universe but a part of
it-susceptible to those irresistible forces that exert their influ
ence across the vast distances of space.

i-fields are detected and examined by measuring the difference
in voltage between two points on-or close to-the surface of
the living form. In men and women L-field voltages can be
measured by placing one electrode on the forehead and the other
on the chest or the hand. Alternatively, the index finger of each
hand is dipped into howls of saline solution connected to the volt
meter. In special cases voltage readings may be taken by apply
ing the electrodes to some specific organ or part of the body.
In trees, the electrodes are in contact through salt bridges with
the cambium layer, one about two feet above the other.
The.;e voltage measurements have nothing to do with the
alternating electrical currents which doctors find in the heart and
the brain. They are pure voltage potentials which can yield only
14 AN ADVENTU RE IN SCIEN CE
an infinitesimal amount of direct current. That is why L-fields
could not be detected before the invention of the vacuum-tube
voltmeter, which requires virtually no current for its operation.
An ordinary voltmeter needs so much current to swing the
needle that it would drain away the L-field potentials and make
any reading useless if not impossible.
When Sir John Fleming, an Englishman, discovered that elec
trons flow from a heated wire in a vacuum and Lee DeForest, an
American, found out how to use them with a grid, it is unlikely
that either of them ever imagined that the vacuum tube which
resulted from their discoveries would one day make possible a
new approach to the mystery of life. And it was many years be
fore the vacuum tube had been sufficiently perfected to make the
vacuum-tube voltmeter a reliable instrument.
In the early days of his researches, some forty years ago, the
author spent three years developing his own instruments. Today
highly sensitive and reliable vacuum-tube voltmeters are avail
able commercially and are to be found in most physics labora
tories and electronic factories.
There is nothing mysterious, then, about the instruments
required to measure L-field voltages. But these are harder to
measure than those of a. car or transistor-radio battery. Special
electrodes must be used and the methods outlined in Chapter 2
must be followed rigidly and explicitly for successful results.
But it will be no more difficult to train doctors and their assistants
to read and interpret L-field voltages than it was to train them
to use electro-cardiographs or electro-encephalographs.
Extensive medical use of L-field readings, however, may not be
seen for some time. For it took over thirty years before electro
cardiograph techniques were perfected to the point where they
were useful in doctors' offices.
4
In the case of L-fields there is no technical reason why their
use by doctors should take so long. Modern instruments are
reliable; and any intelligent man or woman can learn the tech-
15 AN ADVENTU RE IN SCI ENCE
niques of taking and interpreting L-field readings in a short period
of intensive instruction. It is to be hoped that many will do so
because L-fields can be helpful to doctors, psychiatrists and others
in various ways.
Immediate and practical results, in fact, can stem from this
adventure in science-quite apart from the assurance that human
life has purpose and that man is not isolated from the Universe
-which have made the adventure even more worthwhile.
As mentioned earlier, abnormalities in L-field voltages can give
advance warning of future symptoms before these are evident.
This does not apply only to the early detection of cancer. As more
research is done and L-fields are better understood, it is probable
that they will be used to give early warning of a variety of physi
cal problems in time to tackle these effectively. And they have
already been used to forecast certain psychological and psychi
atric troubles. (See page 18 and Dr. Ravitz' paper in Part II.)
Among the physical events which can be predicted by measur
ing the voltage-gradients is the precise moment of ovulation in
a woman. This is possible because ovulation is preceded by a
steady and substantial rise in voltage, which falls rapidly to nor
mal after the egg has been released.
Such measurements have revealed that some women may ovul
ate over the entire menstrual period, that ovulation may occur
withou t mestruation and menses without ovulation. The poten
tial importance of this knowledge to gynaecology, family-plan
ning and birth-control is obvious; and it helps

to prevent trouble.
Dentists, Physicians Team Up To Treat TMJ Disorders
Dentists and physicians all over the world are teaming up for diagnosis and
treatment of TMJ disorders. (One physician-dentist reported improvement in over
85% of more than 1,000 patients treated with pivoting; another physician-dentist
team reported that 52 of 54 patients obtained relief from dizziness after equilibration.)
In 1955 many dentists and physicians from the U.S. and abroad organized as the
American Equilibration Society to further more intensive study of the TMJ and related
structures.
CranioSacral Therapy
This is a very gentle, non-invasive hands-on approach that focuses on the
craniosacral system of the body. This system consists of the membranes and
cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. It extends
from the bones of the skull, face and mouth — which make up the cranium — down
to the sacrum, or tailbone.
This system has been effective in evaluating and treating problems associated with
pain and dysfunction, lowered vitality, and recurring infections. The light touch
employed in this approach encourages your own natural mechanisms to improve the
functioning of your brain and spinal cord, to dissipate the negative effects of stress
and to enhance your general health and resistance to disease.
Craniosacral therapy by Osteopaths, Chiropractors and Dentists has proven to
help people who complain of ringing in the ears (tinnitus) and some forms of
hearing loss.
Many have asked Dr. Kelley this question:
"I have a friend losing the lung cancer battle. Does your program help those in later
states of cancer? Chemotherapy and radiation have not worked for him."
Dr. Kelley's answer:
There is only one solution to any cancer.— The Kelley Metabolic Program. In
reviewing the medical literature today from 1889 it has been well established, "there
is no cure for cancer after it has been interfered with. All cancer reacts by increased
growth to any injury mechanical or surgical, chemical, or thermal." The 1985
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Review of several thousands of my patients stated that
79
Winning The Cancer War
"cure rate of the Kelley Program was only 93% after the physicians had used Surgery,
Chemotherapy and Radiation" Of course this is the highest "cure rate" in medical
history. Exception was "pancreatic cancer" at a 100% "cure rate".
The denial of the KELLEY METABOLIC CANCER CURE PROGRAM is the denial
of truth and all known scientific proven understanding. This denial is common among
the Orthodox and Alternative medical communities. "Cure" is not in their vocabulary;
only "treatment" and "remission" for financial gain. Cancer victims are "expendable
as in experimental animals."
Should you or your friends, at this late terminal stage, choose to use our
program, and can follow the PROGRAM exactly for six months, there is a possibility
for help. There is nothing else that offers the remote possibility of success.

Spiritu a l Attitu d e
If y o u r cancer has ta u g h t you s p iritu a l tru th,
you have gained m uch.
If your cancer has caused you to stop, think, pray, and know God better, it has
been a blessing to you.
If your cancer has caused you to realize the importance and magnificence of this
temple wherein your soul dwells, you have been doubly blessed.
If your cancer has caused you to look within and ask the Christ to dwell within
you, you have been thrice blessed.
Often physical infirmities come to us for such a purpose. This was true in my own
case. The still, small voice within spoke out to guide and teach this Child of God.
Not all who have cancer w ill overcome the condition. Many w ill not believe that
such a simple treatment w ill work. Many w ill not have the opportunity to hear about
and try the procedure. Many w ill come too late with a temple (body) too weak to
respond. But, I  pray with all of you my friends, that you w ill learn a beautiful lesson
and learn it well. I  did.
Each of God's children is in an experience in their school (earth) each doing the
very best he or she can. Jesus said, "Judge not, that ye be not judged" (7 Matthew 1);
"This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I  have loved you." (15 John
12).
If your cancer has taught you spiritual truth, you have gained much. I  pray with
you and for you that at this point you have come to the realization that your spiritual
decision to get well or not to get well is your own responsibility. If you decide to go
home early, rejoice, for the Father prepares a place for you. Those of you who have
loved ones, who have made this decision, rejoice with them and send them on their
way into God's care.
If you decide to stay in school a little longer, this is also good and it should now be
easier. If you are to operate as a perfect being, in perfect health, then you must have
a perfect attitude. You must become aware of the spiritual power within that is
81
Winning The Cancer War
greater than you, the still, small voice within.
If you are of the many millions of people who have been told that you have cancer
and that your days are numbered, then it is you who must be interested enough to
seek out the truth of your condition. You have read many things in this treatise, which
bring new thinking to a very old disease.
Since we are dealing with the metabolic approach to cancer, we must consider not
only the physical, but also the mental and spiritual laws of God. We need help from
those around us as well as the God power within to reverse our thinking, and attain
that balance which creates a healthy physical being.
As stated in previous chapters, half measures w ill avail you nothing. You are at the
point where you must ask God for guidance. These are the steps, which are suggested
as a method of spiritual recovery:
1. Accept the fact that you are afflicted with a symptom (malignant cancer) and
that recovery is possible.
2. Establish a faith in a power greater than yourself and know that with His help
you can regain health and harmony.
3. Make the decision to turn your w ill and your life over to the care of God.
4. Conduct a complete self-analysis to better understand your own emotions.
5. Admit to God, to yourself, and to others the exact nature of what you find to
be your shortcomings.
6. Be willing to give up what you are doing wrong.
7. Seek through prayer to improve your conscious contact with God. Pray only
for knowledge of His w ill for you and the strength to carry that out.
Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of this action, practice these principles
in your every thought. Just as the body must be purged and cleansed, so must the
emotions and spirit be purified. This is a comparatively simple task to accomplish, but
do not lull yourself into believing that it is an easy task. Rigorous self-discipline and
the ability to grasp and develop a manner of living with complete honesty in all of
your actions and thought are necessary. You must become strong willed to be a
winner in accomplishing that which you set out to do for yourself. You w ill look for
all the good in everything and refuse to accept any negation.

B ody Detoxification
Before any disease can be cured,
th e  w aste p ro d u cts and im p u ritie s  m ust be cleansed fro m  th e  body.
The sooner th is is done, th e  sooner th e  b o dy can begin re p a irin g  itself.
Body Detoxification
In reality, a person very rarely dies of cancer. It is always starvation and toxicity. As
the malignant tumor grows it gives off waste products, which must be eliminated
through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs and skin. These waste products accumulate
and gradually overburden the body. Most persons then die of toxemia.
Before any disease can be cured, the waste products and impurities must be
cleansed from the body. The sooner this is done, the sooner the body can begin
repairing itself.
Dr. Kelley recommends that you begin the detoxification process even before you
have the nutritional supplements in your possession. It is absolutely imperative that
the patient carefully follows the detoxification process after the supplements begin
stimulating the release of wastes and debris.
