. But if I continue wanting it, I deny my Jesus, my sav -
ior, for as I want I confess I am not and “except ye believe that I AM He
ye die in your sins.” I cannot have and still continue to desire what I have.
I may enjoy it, but I cannot continue wanting it.
Here is the story. This is the feast of the Passover. Something is going to
change right now, something is going to passover. Man is incapable of
passing over from one state of consciousness into another unless he re -
leases from consciousness that which he now entertains, for it anchors
him where he is.
More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenYou and I may go to physical feasts year after year as the sun enters the
great sign of Aries, but it means nothing to the true mystical Passover. To
keep the feast of the Passover, the psychological feast, I pass from one
state of consciousness into another. I do it by releasing Barabbas, the
thief and robber that robs me of that state which I could embody within
my world.
The state I seek to embody is personified in the story as Jesus the Savior.
If I become what I want to be then I am saved from what I was. If I do
not become it, I continue to keep locked within me a thief who robs me of
being that which I could be.
These stories have no reference to any persons who lived nor to any
event that ever occurred upon earth. These characters are everlasting
characters in the mind of every man in the world. You and I perpetually
keep alive either Barabbas or Jesus. You know at every moment of time
who you are entertaining.
Do not condemn a crowd for clamoring that they should release Barabbas
and crucify Jesus. It is not a crowd of people called Jews. They had noth -
ing to do with it.
If we are wise, we too should clamor for the release of that state of mind
that limits us from being what we want to be, that restricts us, that does
not permit us to become the ideal that we seek and strive to attain in this
world.
I am not saying that you are not tonight embodying Jesus. I only remind
you, that if at this very moment you have an unfulfilled ambition, then
you are entertaining that which denies the fulfillment of the ambition, and
that which denies it is Barabbas.
To explain the mystical, psychological transformation known as the
Passover, or the crossing over, you must now become identified with the
ideal that you would serve, and you must remain faithful to the ideal. If
you remain faithful to it, you not only crucify it by your faithfulness, but
you resurrect it unaided by a man.
As the story goes, no man could rise early enough to roll away the stone.
Unaided by a man the stone was removed, and what seemingly was dead
and buried was resurrected unassisted by a man.
You walk in the consciousness of being that which you want to be, no one
sees it as yet, but you do not need a man to roll away the problems and
the obstacles of life in order to express that which you are conscious of
being. That state has its own unique way of becoming embodied in this
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenworld, of becoming flesh that the whole world may touch it.
Now you can see the relationship between the story of Jesus and the sto -
ry of Isaac and his two sons, where one transplanted the other, where one
was called the Supplanter of the other. Why do you think those who com -
plied the sixty odd books of our Bible made Jacob the forefather of Jesus?
They took Jacob, who was called the Supplanter, and made him father of
twelve, then they took Judah or praise, the fifth son and made him the
fore of Joseph, who is supposed to have fathered in some strange way
this one called Jesus. Jesus must supplant Barabbas as Jacob must sup -
plant and take the place of Esau.
Tonight you can sit right here and conduct the trial of your two sons, one
of whom you want released. You can become the crowd who clamors for
the release of the thief, and the judge who willingly releases Barabbas,
and sentences Jesus to fill his place. He was crucified on Golgotha, the
place of the skull, the seat of the imagination.
To experience the Passover or passage from the old to the new concept of
self, you must release Barabbas, your present concept of self, which robs
you of being that which you could be, and you must assume the new con -
cept which you desire to express.
The best way to do this is to concentrate your attention upon the idea of
identifying yourself with your ideal. Assume you are already that which
you seek and your assumption, though false, if sustained, will harden into
fact.
You will know when you have succeeded in releasing Barabbas, your old
concept of self, and when you have successfully crucified Jesus, or fixed
the new concept of self, by simply looking MENTALLY at the people you
know. If you see them as you formerly saw them, you have not changed
your concept of self, for all changes of concepts of self result in a changed
relationship to your world.
We always seem to others the embodiment of the ideal we inspire. There -
fore, in meditation, we must imagine that others see us as they would see
us were we what we desire to be.
You can release Barabbas and crucify and resurrect Jesus if you will first
define your ideal. Then relax in a comfortable arm chair, induce a state of
consciousness akin to sleep and experience in imagination what you
would experience in reality were you already that which you desire to be.
By this simple method of experiencing in imagination what you would ex -
perience in the flesh were you the embodiment of the ideal you serve, you
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenrelease Barabbas who robbed you of your greatness, and you crucify and
resurrect your savior, or the ideal you desire to express.
Now let us turn to the story of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane. Bear
in mind that a garden is a properly prepared plot of ground, it is not a
wasteland. You are preparing this ground called Gethsemane by coming
here and studying and doing something about your mind. Spend some
time daily in preparing you mind by reading good literature, listening to
good music and entering into conversations that ennoble.
We are told in the Epistles, “Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever
things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are
pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”
(Phil 4:8).
Continuing with our story, as told in the 18th chapter of John, Jesus is in
the garden and suddenly a crowd begins to seek him. He is standing there
in the dark and he says, “Whom seek ye?”
The spokesman called Judas answers and says, “We seek Jesus of
Nazareth.”
A voice answers, “I am He.”
At this instant they all fall to the ground, thousands of them tumbled.
That in itself should stop you right there and let you know it could not be
a physical drama, because no one could be so bold in his claim that he is
the one sought, that he could cause thousands who seek him to fall to the
ground.
But the story tells us they all fell to the ground. Then when they regained
their composure they asked the same question.
“Jesus answered, I have told you that I am He: if therefore ye seek me,
let these go their way.” (John 18:8).
“Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.” (John 13:27).
Judas, who has to do it quickly, goes out and commits suicide.
Now to the drama. You are in your garden of Gethsemane or prepared
mind if you can, while you are in a state akin to sleep, control your atten -
tion and not let it wander away from its purpose. If you can do that you
are definitely in the garden.
Very few people can sit quietly and not enter a reverie or a state of un -
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havencontrolled thinking.
When you can restrict the mental action and remain faithful to your
watch, not permitting your attention to wander all over the place, but hold
it without effort within a limited field of presentation to the state you are
contemplating, then you are definitely this disciplined presence in the gar -
den of Gethsemane.
The suicide of Judas is nothing more than changing your concept of your -
self. When you know what you want to be you have found your Jesus or
savior. When you assume that you are what you want to be you have died
to your former concept of self (Judas committed suicide) and are not liv -
ing as Jesus. You can become at will detached from the world round about
you, and attached to that which you want to embody within your world.
Now that you have found me, now that you have found that which would
save you from what you are, let go of that which you are and all that it
represents in the world. Become completely detached from it. In other
words, go out and commit suicide.

cleans

from
pathological
mucus.
This
is
also
helped
by
the

contained
in
it.
Through
the
effect
of
osmosis,
urine
absorbs
liquid
and
thereby
washes
the
secretory
(excretory)
cells
of
the
stomach,
which
then
work
better.
Because
urine
contains
hormones,
enzymes
(ferments)
and
anti-inflammatory
substances,
the
stomach
lining
is
strengthened.
The
acidic
effect
of
urine
suppresses
ulcer
processes
in
the
stomach
because
a
stomach
ulcer
is
actually
a
destructive,
decomposing
process,
caused
by
increased
alkalinity,
insuf ficient
supply
of
nutrients
and
energy
to
the
relevant
part
of
the
stomach.
The
intake
of
urine
radically
solves
all
these
problems,
which
explains
the
good
results
of
urine
therapy
in
the
treatment
of
gastric
and

ulcer
disease.
However,
the
urine
must
be
low
in
salt
in
the

case,
and
therefore
we
exclude
table

from
the

If
there
are
polyps
in
the

then
it
is
better
to
use
more

For
these
purposes,
it
must
be
evaporated
to
half

quarter,
and
then,
thanks
to

taste,
it
will

Under
the
influence
of
high
temperatures
(when
urine
evaporates),
biologically
active
substances
are
created
that
effectively
act
on
the
stomach
lining.
From
the
stomach,
partially
diluted
urine
goes
into
the
duodenum
and
then
into
the
small
intestine.
Through
the
action
of
osmosis,
urine
continues
to
absorb
water
into
the
intestines
and
thereby
cleans
the
walls
of
the
duodenum,
which
can
perform
its
functions,
which
are
digestion
at
the
intestinal
wall
and
absorption
of
digestive
and
nutritious
substances
into
the
body.
All
this
helps
increase
appetite
and
normalize
body
weight.
Urine
too
helps
regulate
the
intestinal
microflora
and
thus
rids
the
body
of
persistent
dysmicrobias
(dysbacteriosis)
and
other
discomforts
associated
with
them.
Urine
does
not
reach
further
than
the
small
intestine.
However,
if
used
in
large
quantities,
it
passes
through
the
entire
digestive
tract
and
produces
a
laxative
effect
and
cleanses
the
intestine.
But
even
this
effect
lasts
a
maximum
of
one
to
three
weeks.
Then
the
urine
is
completely
absorbed
and
the
laxative
effect
disappears.
In
the
small
intestine,
the
urine
is
strongly
diluted
with
water,
which,
with
its
osmotic
pressure,
approaches
the
interstitial
fluid
and
begins
to
be
absorbed.
It
should
be
noted
here
that
harmful
substances
and
drugs
are
retained
by
the
intestinal
wall
(which
also
fulfills
an
excretory
function)
a
excretes
them
through
the
anus.
This
can
explain
the
purification
of
urine
during
its
repeated
intake,
when
the
cloudy
liquid
becomes
clear,
containing
a
minimum
of
harmful
substances,
and
is
simply
excreted
as
excess
water.
When
absorbed
by
the
walls
of
the
small
intestine,
urine
enters
the
blood.
Here,
too,
the
therapeutic
effects
of
the
substances
absorbed
into
it
begin
to
manifest.
Remember
that
morning
urine
taken
on
an
empty
stomach,
it
is
absorbed
practically
unchanged,
Urine
taken
during
the
day
changes
under
the
influence
of
digestive
enzymes,
resulting
in
a
certain
reduction
in
the
activity
of
hormones,
vitamins
and
other
substances
contained
in
it.
Urine
that
has
entered
the
blood
dilutes
it
and
thus
increases
its
fluidity.
And
since
the
blood
from
the
digestive
tract
goes
to
the
liver,
then
first
urine
has
a
positive
effect
especially
on
the
liver.
It
is
cleaned,
their
functions
are
normalized,
adjusted,
bile
becomes
less
viscous.
That's
why
urine
intake
so
works
quickly
to
improve
the
health
of
the
gallbladder.
The
dilution
of
bile
causes
the
conglomerates,
concentrates
that
have
formed
in
it,
to
gradually
dissolve
and
be
absorbed.
If
there

in

they

	like	trans	fatty	acids	(as	found	in	fast	foods,
such	as	hamburgers	and	french	fries),	it	is	an	absolutely	normal	response	by	the	immune
system	to	attack	these	contaminants.	To	call	this	survival	response	a	disease	is	unscientific
and	reflects	a	lack	of	knowledge	of	the	true	nature	of	the	body.

Gallstones	inhibit	the	body’s	ability	to	keep	itself	nourished	and	clean,	which	makes
them	a	leading	cause	of	toxicity.	They	prevent	the	liver	from	adequately	taking	noxious
substances	out	of	the	bloodstream.	If	the	liver	cannot	filter	out	toxins	from	the	blood,	they
end	up	being	dumped	into	the	extracellular	fluid.	The	more	toxins	accumulate	in	the
extracellular	fluid,	the	more	severely	cell	membranes	become	clogged	with	injurious
materials.	An	autoimmune	response	may	be	necessary	to	destroy	the	most	contaminated
cells	and	thereby	save	the	rest	of	the	body,	at	least	for	a	while.	When	all	gallstones	are
removed	from	the	liver	and	gallbladder,	the	immune	system	does	not	have	to	take	recourse
to	such	extreme	measures	of	defending	the	body	on	the	cellular	level.

Osteoarthritis
	is	a	degenerative,	noninflammatory	illness.	It	occurs	when	the	renewal
of
articular	cartilage
	(a	smooth,	strong	surface,	covering	bones	that	are	in	contact	with
other	bones)	does	not	keep	pace	with	its	removal.	The	articular	cartilage	gradually
becomes	thinner	until,	eventually,	the	bony	articular	surfaces	come	into	contact,	and	the
bones	begin	to	degenerate.	Abnormal	bone	repair	and	chronic	inflammation	may	follow
this	form	of	damage.	Like	most	diseases,	this	symptom	results	from	a	long-standing
digestive	disorder.	As	fewer	nutrients	are	absorbed	and	distributed	for	tissue	building,	it
becomes	increasingly	difficult	to	maintain	healthy	sustenance	of	bone	and	articular
cartilage.	Gallstones	in	the	liver	impair	the	basic	digestive	processes	and,	therefore,	play
perhaps	the	most	important	role	in	the	development	of	osteoarthritis.

Gout
,
	which	is	another	joint	disease	connected	to	weak	liver	performance,	is	caused	bysodium	urate	crystals
	in	joints	and	tendons.	Gout	occurs	in	some	people	whose
blood	uric
acid
	is	abnormally	high.	When	gallstones	in	the	liver	begin	to	affect	blood	circulation	in
the	kidneys	(see	“
Disorders	of	the	Urinary	System
”),	uric	acid	excretion	becomes
inefficient.	This	also	causes	increased	cell	damage	and	cell	destruction	in	the	liver	and
kidneys,	as	well	as	in	other	parts	of	the	body.

Uric	acid	is	a	waste	product	resulting	from	the	breakdown	of	cell	nuclei;	it	is	produced
in	excess	with	increased	cell	destruction.	Smoking	cigarettes,	drinking	alcoholic	beverages
regularly,	using	stimulants,	and	so	forth,	all	cause	marked	cell	destruction,	which	releases
large	quantities	of	degenerate	cell	protein	into	the	bloodstream.	In	addition,	uric	acid
production	rises	sharply	with	overconsumption	of	protein	foods,	such	as	meat,	fish,	pork,
and	eggs.
9
	Incidentally,	all	the	aforementioned	foods	and	substances	lead	to	gallstone
formation	in	the	liver	and	gallbladder.

A	person	may	experience	several	acute	attacks	of	arthritis	before	damage	to	the	joints
decreases	mobility	and	the	gout	condition	becomes	chronic.
	Disorders	of	the	Reproductive	System

Female	and	male	reproductive	systems	both	depend	largely	on	the	smooth	functioning	of
the	liver.	Gallstones	in	the	liver	obstruct	the	movement	of	bile	through	the	bile	ducts,
which	impairs	digestion	and	distorts	the	structural	framework	of	liver	lobules.	This
diminishes	the	liver’s	production	of	both
serum	albumin
	and
clotting	factors.
	Serum
albumin	is	the	most	common	and	abundant	protein	in	the	blood,	responsible	for
maintaining
plasma	osmotic	pressure
	at	its	normal	level	of	25mmHg.	C
lotting	factors
	are
essential	for	the	coagulation	of	blood.	Insufficient	osmotic	pressure	cuts	down	the	supply
of	nutrients	to	the	cells,	including	those	of	the	reproductive	organs.	This	may	lead	to
reduced	lymph	drainage.	Poor	lymph	drainage	from	the	reproductive	organs	can	cause
fluid	retention	and	edema,	as	well	as	the	retention	of	metabolic	waste	and	dead	cells.	All
of	this	may	result	in	the	gradual	impairment	of	sexual	functions.

Most	diseases	of	the	reproductive	system	result	from	improper	lymph	drainage.	The
thoracic	duct	(see	“
Disorders	of	the	Circulatory	System
”)	drains	lymph	fluid	from	all
organs	of	the	digestive	system,	including	the	liver,	spleen,	pancreas,	stomach,	and
intestines.	This	large	duct	often	becomes	severely	congested	when	gallstones	in	the	liver
impair	proper	digestion	and	absorption	of	food.	It	is	obvious,	yet	hardly	recognized	in
mainstream	medicine,	that	congestion	in	the	thoracic	duct	affects	the	organs	of	the
reproductive	system.	These	organs,	like	most	others	in	the	body,	need	to	release	their
turned-over	cells	and	metabolic	waste	matter	into	the	thoracic	duct.

Impaired	lymphatic	drainage	from	the	female	pelvic	area	is	responsible	for
suppressed
immunity,	menstrual	problems,	premenstrual	stress	(PMS),	menopausal	symptoms,
pelvic	inflammatory	disease	(PID),	cervicitis,	all	uterine	diseases,	vulvar	dystrophies
with	growth	of	fibrous	tissue,	ovarian	cysts	and	tumors,	cell	destruction,	hormone
deficiencies,	low	libido,	infertility,	and	genetic	mutations	of	cells	leading	to	cancer.

Thoracic	blockage	may	also	lead	to	lymph	congestion	in	the	left	breast,	thereby	leaving
deposits	of	noxious	substances	behind	that	can	cause	inflammation,	lump	formation,	milk
duct	blockage,	and	cancerous	tumors.	If	the	right	lymphatic	duct,	which	drains	lymph
from	the	right	half	of	the	thorax,	head,	neck,	and	right	arm,	becomes	congested,	waste
accumulates	in	the	right	breast,	leading	to	similar	problems	there.

A	continuous	restriction	of	lymph	drainage	from	the	male	pelvic	area	causes	benign	and
malignant	prostate	enlargement	as	well	as	inflammation	of	the	testes,	penis,	and	urethra.
Impotence	is	a	likely	consequence	of	this	development.	The	consistent	increase	of
gallstones	in	the	liver,	a	common	factor	among	middle-aged	men	in	affluent	societies,	is
one	of	the	major	reasons	for	lymph	blockage	in	this	vital	part	of	the	body.	Venerealdiseases	occur	when	the	exposed	parts	of	the	body	reach	a	high	level	of	toxicity.	Microbial
infection	is	preceded	by	major	lymph	congestion.	The	collapsing	capacity	of	the	lymphatic
system	(which	includes	the	immune	system)	to	repel	invading	microorganisms	is	the	true
reason	for	most	reproductive	and	sexual	disorders.

When	all	gallstones	from	the	liver	are	removed	and	a	healthy	diet	and	lifestyle	are
maintained,	lymphatic	activity	can	return	to	normal.	The	reproductive	tissue	receives

day in and day out, during my entire practice; but, for the most part,
the advice would go in at one ear and out at the other.
That was what kept me in the dental business.

CHAPTER 17.

I TRY TO "SELL" MY  FELLOW DENTISTS

After I had established the fact s concerning the Deaf Smith
County natives' immunity to tooth decay to my own satisfaction, and
had formulated my theory as to the reasons for that immunity, I felt
that I ought to tell my fellow dentists about my discovery. I had not forgotten that talk at a luncheon table during an Alabama State Dental
Convention several years before (Chapter 10) and the encouraging
word I had received from Dr. Young of Anniston.
Whenever I'd go to Amarillo for the Panhandle District
Convention of the Texas Dental Association, I would eagerly talk up
my discovery to any brother practitioner who would listen. I'd meet up
with an old friend in a hotel lobby or on the street corner and before
our talk had gone far beyond the us ual polite inquiries, "how's the
folks and how's business", I'd be talking with all the enthusiasm I
could muster about my findings.
My report would run something like this: "In Deaf Smith County where I prac tice, most of the people born
and raised there grow up with sound teeth. Ranch people do not drink
milk, they will not milk a cow. If it weren't for people moving in from
other parts of the country, I'd have almost no tooth repair business.
About 90 per cent of my business consists of making new sets of teeth
for pyorrhea patients. After a newcomer has lived in Hereford a few
years, provided he has drunk lots of raw whole milk, he develops
resistance to teeth decay. Even the tooth cavities which he brings with
him when he comes to Hereford will be glazed over, if he has drunk
raw milk. It is my conclusion that certain elements in the Deaf Smith
County soil, when taken up by crops and pasture grasses, and from
there taken into the human body in bread, meat and vegetables, in
milk and in butter, create an immunity to tooth decay. Milk does the
immunizing job better than any other food, simply because milk is the one foodstuff that everybody did consume raw until recent years."
As a rule, my fellow practitioner would hear me out patiently,
then shake his head and walk away without comment. I suspect that
my old friend, Dr. R. L. Rogers of Amarillo, spoke for them all when
he said to me:
"Doctor George, your story sounds fantastic to me. It stands to
reason that dental conditions in Deaf Smith Country are identical with
dental conditions here in Amarillo or anywhere else. Common sense,
as well as, dental science tells you that." Nevertheless, I kept on investig ating. The more patients I found
with perfect, or nearly perfect mouths and the more I questioned them
about their eating and drinking habits, the more firmly I was
convinced that I was on the right track.
After eight or ten years, I concluded reluctantly that telling my
story was of no use. I decided on a different tact. I would gather facts,
say nothing and abide my time. Then, when the opportunity did
present itself I'd spring my discov ery on the scientific world.
I received a powerful lift from Dr. C. A. Pierle of Canyon. For
years, that distinguished scientist, the head of West Texas State College chemistry department, had served the Texas State Dental
Association as laboratory technologist. He unfailingly participated in
district conventions in Amarillo. Dr. Pierle gave me the most valuable
cue which I received from any source during all the years in which I
investigated dental decay and its underlying causes.
One time I heard Dr. Pierle challenge a group of dentists who
were threshing out the fluorine theory:
"Why all this talk of fluorine in your drinking water? You will
find more fluorine in milk than in water."
As he had spent the better part of a lifetime on the chemical
laboratory, Dr. Pierle, scien tist, knew whereof he spoke.
Another time I heard Dr. Pierle sum up a spirited discussion of
dental decay, its causes and its prevention in one line:
"Examine your milk drinkers."
I kept that line with me at my dental chair in Hereford, and put it
to work. I asked every patient who came to me: "How much milk do
you drink every day. Do you drink raw milk? Do you drink buttermilk and clabber?"
For years I made inquiry of my patients as to their milk habits.
Almost invariably I found that the possessor of a mouth full of sound
teeth had been a consistent milk drinker from early childhood. A
surprisingly large number liked e ither buttermilk, clabber or both.
The significant fact is that the milk those patients drank came
from cows that had grazed on native grass in Deaf Smith County
pastures. In winter, as a rule, the cows had grazed on green wheat.

CHAPTER 18

A STATE OFFICIAL LENDS ME AN EAR
 In spite of all the discouragement I had met with, I kept on
investigating and piling up evidence which bore out my theory.
At last I got a break. Dr. Edward Taylor, director of dental health for the Texas State
Board of Health, had come up from Austin for our district convention
at Amarillo (January, 1939).
When I found Dr. Taylor disengaged for a minute or so, I called
him aside and told him briefly what I had found out about the Deaf
Smith County people's seemingly immunity to tooth decay.
"Believe it or not, Dr. Taylor, there are men and women in the
Hereford country where I practice who live into middle age and even older without a single decayed spot on their teeth. I have tried for
years to tell my fellow dentists here at the convention about my discovery; but they just laugh at me. None will believe me and up to now, not a single one has accepted my standing invitation to come to
Hereford and let me show them. This same phenomenon existed in
their own practice, but without a comparison the truth is not seen.
"Finally, I decided it was no use trying to sell my ideas to my
fellow practitioners. I determined to  keep my own counsel and keep
on investigating. The more facts I uncovered, the more firmly I was
convinced that I was on the right track.
"Doctor, we have something down there—and I believe it comes
out of our mineralized soil—that builds immunity to tooth decay. That
is my theory and there is proof of it right in the people's mouths. I do
not ask you to take my word for it, Dr. Taylor. Come to Hereford and see for yourself."
Though Dr. Taylor had listened to me patiently and seemed
interested, he did not commit himself at the time. I thought that would
be the last of the matter. But about si x months later, a letter came from
Dr. Taylor: "Would it be all right for me to come up and see you—
say, one day next week?" he inquired. "Sure," I answered, "come right
ahead."
When Dr. Taylor arrived, I called the city superintendent of
schools by telephone: "Dr. Edward Taylor, with the State Board of Health at Austin, has come up for a dental survey. The Doctor wants
to visit the homes of typical Hereford families and inspect their teeth.
He wants the families picked just at random. Could you get one of
your teachers to show Dr. Taylor around and introduce him?" The superintendent said that could be arranged. Of course, Dr.
Taylor's guide knew nothing of the survey objective and nothing of
dental conditions in the families to be visited.
During his stay in Hereford and vicinity, Dr. Taylor looked at the
mouths of 56 persons. Forty-three were native-born and had lived in
Deaf Smith County all their lives. All those life-long residents had not
a single decayed tooth. The greater number had never had a toothache
in their lives.
"Dr. Heard, this thing is simply incredible," Dr. Taylor said when
he had finished. "I am going to do something about it."
So when the public schools opened the following September
(1939), Dr. Taylor sent a public health dentist to give all his time to
the study of the Hereford pupils' teeth. There were 810 children, ages
6 to 18 years, enrolled that year. The survey ran through two full
years.
In his bulletin, "Factors


 natural sources), butter, cream, alcohol, soft drinks (including low -calorie varieties) and ice cream. Also taboo are
yogurt, cottage cheese, whole milk, spinach, asparagus, onions and garlic.

Most experts agree that the overuse of salt contribut es significantly to cellulite among other conditions, since it tends to cause
water retention in the tissues. Thus, avoid adding salt to food, and stay away from those containing generous quantities -
canned soups, smoked or processed meats, potato salads,  pickles, etc. -as well as flavorings such as celery or garlic salt and
the like.

Though fresh, raw spinach and asparagus are rich in vitamins and iron, they contain oxalic acid, a substance which
(paradoxically) interferes with the absorption and assimila tion of iron by the digestive system. Garlic and onion are undesirable
because they contain mustard oil - an ingredient that disrupts the action of certain digestive enzymes. Dr. Cursio believes that
yogurt is a "nutritionally overrated" food: ("The natura l bacterial / fermentation process that results in yogurt actually causes it to
coagulate and disintegrate its own milk protein - so we derive no real benefit from it.") He also advises adults to avoid whole
milk and cottage cheese because we don't have th e "necessary enzymic makeup" to curdle (digest) their form of protein.
However, cheeses like ricotta and mozzarella - preferably unsalted - already contain the enzymes that essentially help "digest"
them for us before we eat them.

Dr. Cursio suggests eating yolks only rather than whole eggs because the egg white contains avodin - a substance that
destroys biotin, an important member of the vitamin B complex. Strictly limited are added oils and fats, since adequate amoun ts
of these occur naturally in ch eeses, egg yolks and nuts - all mainstays on the eating plan. As much as possible, oils should be
cold-pressed (available in health -food stores) - without chemical additives and unaltered by heat. Always store them in a cool
place to prevent them from beco ming rancid.

A FLEXIBLE PROGRAM
Dr. Cursio himself treats and supervises only those who are "psychologically prepared" enough to relinquish their former eati ng
patterns and preferences. Admittedly, they have to be either committed vegetarians or otherwise  highly motivated at the outset
to experience the fewest adjustment problems with this 2 -week program which consists of raw fruits, dark leafy green
vegetables, vegetable juices, eggs, nuts, cheese and whole grains. However, for inveterate meat eaters, suc h a drastic
changeover may be unrealistic and unworkable - at least initially. Thus, though he himself does not recommend it, several
members of Dr. Cursio's staff have designed a modified 2 -week plan that may vary, depending on your state of readiness.
(Note: Consult your doctor first before following these or any other food plans.)

If you strictly follow Dr. Cursio's program, you should expect to lose weight, purify  your system and solve your cellulite problem
at a faster rate than if you include chicken or fresh -water fish in your daily diet. If meat is your chief source of protein, expect to
achieve results at the slowest pace of all. To minimize this drawback, avo id beef and pork in favor of baby lamb and veal, both
relatively low in fat and easily digestible. However, even on the modified program, every meal should include fresh fruits an d
vegetables; fish, poultry or meat should be eaten no more than once a day, and preferably every other day. At other times, try
having a gourmet vegetarian specialty - such as a savory lentil loaf or green peppers with whole -grain rice. After awhile,
predicts Dr. Cursio, your marked improvement in health and looks will be motivati on for your continuing the program, and even
progressing to a more disciplined regime.

DAILY DIET GUIDELINES

FRESH VEGETABLE JUICE
(celery and carrots, or cucumber and tomato)
Proportions: 6 ozs. celery or cucumber juice
2 ozs. carrot or tomato juice. Use a vegetable juice extractor, if possible. Never peel vegetables: simply scrub with a brush  under cold
running water. Since juices are very sensitive to air, you sho uld drink them immediately after extraction. If you do not own a juicer, you can
add the celery and carrots to your day's blended salad or eat them along with your meals.
BLENDED SALAD
1 each small tomato, red or green pepper
1/2 small cucumber
1 tbsp. nut ritional yeast
 copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648 -1500    www.drbass.com                                               61

1 tsp. cold -pressed oil (optional)
Juice of ½ lemon or lime 5 -6 leaves romaine lettuce
3-4 stalks celery or  fresh fennel, chopped
Place cut up pieces of tomato, pepper and cucumber along with yeast, oil and lemon juice into blender. (Nutritional yeast, av ailable in
health -food stores, is particularly flavorful.) Blend until smooth and liquid. Add romaine leaves  one at a time. Add celery or fennel; blend
additional 2 -3 minutes. (The consistency depends upon personal taste: some like it smooth and watery, others thick and crunchy.)
EGGS
Eggs should be purchased in a health -food store: You want fertilized eggs from  chickens fed organic feed and not anti -biotics.
To cook: Boil or poach for a maximum of 3 to 4 minutes. Eat only the yolk. (Those on the modified plan may eat the whole egg. )
NUTS
All nuts should be in their natural state -raw and unsalted (almonds, cashew s, peanuts, filberts). You may substitute nut butter (unsalted) for
your daily allowance of nuts using the same weight: 2 ozs. nut butter equals 2 ozs. raw nuts.
CHEESE
Since most cheeses contain large quantities of salt you will have to choose from unsalt ed varieties. The finest of this type cheese - Cheddar
or Muenster - is made by Kutter's Dairy, 857 Main Road, Corfu, N.Y. (716) 599 -3333, and can be ordered directly from them in 5 -pound
blocks at approximately $9.00 (Editor: No longer available). Second best is unsalted, homemade mozzarrella - fresh - available at pasta and
cheese stores or any shop that specializes in Italian products. Another Italian specialty, ricotta cheese, is also an excelle nt-tasting and
nutritious choice.
If you substitute ricotta  for your daily allowance, you are permitted 6 ozs. - twice the amount of hard cheese.
If you are on the modified plan and are unable to make the change to unsalted cheeses, choose from low -salt or mild varieties like

fter	deciding,	in	1991,	to	devote	the	remainder	of	my	life	to	helping	others
achieve	health,	I	knew	I	needed	to	develop	an	approach	that	would	eliminate	all
the	confusion	and	misinformation.	I	needed	to	simplify	health	and	disease.	Next,
I	needed	a	model	easily	understood	and	applied	by	adults	and	children	alike.	My
new	theory	of	health	and	disease	was	born—One	Disease,	Two	Causes	and	Six
Pathways.	The	next	need	was	to	identify	safe	and	effective	products	of	all	kinds,
which	would	support	health	as	indicated	by	the	model.
In	order	for	my	work	to	benefit	the	public,	I	needed	effective	methods	of
presenting	both	my	health	model	and	my	research.	I	needed	people	to	understand
the	ineffectiveness	of	our	society’s	current	health	model	(medical	suppression	of
disease	symptoms).	I	also	needed	to	demonstrate	the	significance	of	the	damage
we	commonly	suffer	from	seemingly	benign	sources	(small	amounts	of	toxins
capable	of	bioaccumulating	to	dangerous	levels	in	our	bodies).	Perhaps	most
important,	I	wanted	to	share	what	I	had	learned	about	the	benefits	of	good
nutrition	and	a	healthful	lifestyle.
My	answer	to	these	needs	was	to	create	a	new	entity	called	Beyond	Health.
My	goal	in	creating	Beyond	Health	was	to	help	people	achieve	a	level	of	vitality
and	performance	surpassing	anything	they	had	experienced	before—to	help
them	go	“beyond	health.”	Today,	Beyond	Health	is	a	unique	resource	for	people
who	care	about	their	health,	providing	two	major	services	to	the	public:	It
supplies	accurate,	cutting-edge	health	information	and	makes	available	the
world’s	best	health-supporting	products.

compared to the one plate meal?
A. To start with the smoothie is a small percentage compared to the one plate
meal, maybe 20/80. After some time you can aim for 50/50. Meaning your diet
will be 50% raw plants. When you get very experienced your smoothie can get
larger and your one plate meal can get smaller and you still feel satisfied. I'm
now at the point where I sometimes only have the smoothie as my entire one
meal. When I do this I include more oats, nuts and lots more fruit and other raw
plant based foods in the large smoothie jug. But for variety and normality most
of the time I sit with my family and have a one plate meal with them which will
be about 50% of the total volume of the one meal a day. And occasionally eating
out with friends, and having cheat days as long as have a 48 hr fast for every
one cheat day.
Q. You teach that the body makes the right compounds at the right time
throughout the day and these are in your orin, but then you say to save all your
orin after your evening meal and drink it all first thing in the morning, won't
these be the wrong compounds for that time of the day?
A. Your evening orin won't have all the correct compounds for your body for the
morning but your first morning pee will have. The orin you saved from the
evening before will still have many beneficial substances like vitamins, minerals,
enzymes and of course stem cells. Your morning urine that you first pee out and
loop will have all the correct substances for your body at that time of the day. In
the orin you having been saving up from the night before the urea and ammonia
content builds having been aged for several hours, this is actually exactly what
your body needs first thing in the morning for a diuretic effect. This will help
push out all of last night’s one meal and clean you right the way through. The
term I have come up with an internal enema. So actually it is exactly what the
body needs at the right time, slightly aged orin first thing in the morning then
continue looping everything throughout the day.
Q. What is the optimal healthy plan for omad?
A. The very best is one piece of fruit every other day or less. Some claim to be
able to go very very long times on only their orin looping. I am one of them but
have never fully tested how long I could go on only my orin, I suspect years.
Having the occasional piece of fruit and some other plants I'm confident I could
survive for many years and be very healthy.
Mono fruit at any one time so your stomach can create the best possible
environment for digesting all the nutrients. Looping all your orin and only eating
a very small mono plant serving every few days or so. This would be the most
optimal healthy diet plan.Next down from that in a list of what is optimal is mixed fruit  in a salad or
smoothie every other day, then after that on the list would be every day. This is
what I do a lot of the time.
Next after that is 50% or so fruit in a smoothie at the start of your omad meal.
Then the other 50% or so a balanced diet of all food groups as the rest of your
one meal within one hour. This is what I do most of the time.
My reasons are that even though only fruit is optimal, I think it's a bit too
extreme for me. I'm after a more balanced level headed approach.
Also when you consider there is so much enjoyment to be had from the huge
variety of great food from around the planet. Omad increases your joy of food
greatly. This increases your overall happiness and that is better for your health
all round than just going on the optimal fruitarian diet.
Cheat days and special occasions can be absolute heaven on Earth, as long as
you don't overdo things and have a 48hr fast for every one cheat day.
Q. How much should you eat in your one meal?
A. Eat to satisfaction. If you are still hungry towards the end of your one meal
then you could eat a little more. But if you stretched your stomach so much that
you are uncomfortable then you ate too much. I usually find that the one large
smoothie starter and then the one plate meal is enough to satisfy me without
feeling so full and bloated that I ate too much. You have to find what's the right
size for you to feel satisfied without feeling bloated.
If you still feel hungry a couple of hours later in the evening then either you
didn't eat enough or your one meal was too early before you go to bed. Find
what is best for you and then stick to it.
Q. What percentage of overall health is down to diet?
A. Most experts would disagree with each other on this. My opinion is diet has
the largest impact on health but that doesn’t mean it’s all down to diet. A joyful
heart is the best medicine. Your work, your life in general. Especially your
relationships with those close to you. All have an effect on your joyful heart.
Omad orin looping when embraced fully has a profound impact on your entire
life. Everything else seems to get into balance and you increase your overall
happiness. Well that is what I have found anyway. You can too.
Q. Why do you always put frozen fruit in your smoothie, and do you worry about
pesticides?
Mike Pollen says in his book Food Rules to "Stay out of the middle of the
supermarket; shop on the perimeter of the store. Real food tends to be on the
outer edge of the store near the loading docks, where it can be replaced with
fresh foods when it goes bad."I say the exception is the frozen section. Even what you think is fresh has lost
most of its goodness since it was last growing and now been transported half
way around the world. If you can get fast frozen from fresh it does not matter if it
has been a long time in transportation as long as it is kept frozen. So it is far
better to buy frozen fruit than those picked before they are ripe so they will be
ripe by the time they are on the shelf a long time and long way away.
Fresh is not always best. “Supermarket fruit and veg is stored for weeks to even
years,” says Glenys Jones, a Medical Research Council nutritionist and sports
performance expert. “There’s a clear link between storage and vitamin loss.”
Frozen fruit and veg, meanwhile, have all the goodness locked in.
Here in the UK fruit does freeze in the wild. Come Nov/Dec through to even as
late as Feb you can often find late fruit and berries still on the tree with snow on
them, or recently fallen to the ground in snow. The frost freezes them locking in
the goodness. This is why I choose frozen fruit as the main part of my one
smoothie every day.
Which do you think has more goodness in, frozen non organic labelled cheap
fruit and veg or non frozen 'fresh' on the shelf organic labelled same fruit and
veg? Which option is better for you? The frozen one is very cheap compared to
the expensive organic option.
In my opinion the cheaper frozen option has far more goodness than the
expensive labelled organic option which has been losing goodness ever since it
was picked.
The organic labelled just have a different list of things they use. The body slowly
builds up immunity to pesticides as long as in very small quantities. I now think
there is not that much difference between organic labelled and non organic.
Do any pesticides or harmful chemicals make it through to the urine? None of
any quantity, pretty much 100% go out the waste channels, your poop, sweat
and breath! Urine is not a waste, it's only really the memory of toxins or trace
amounts that are still in the blood after it has been cleaned by the liver.
Yes trace amounts of harmful things can show up in a urine test, but if you add
up the quantity in a days total urination (say about a gallon of urine) it’s far less
than you take in from say eating a non organic piece of fruit.
The liver and kidneys do filter blood but if you think the end product which is
urine is full of toxins, then you have not understood the concept of filtration and
need to read and study about it again. The bad stuff goes to the poo, sweat or
out breath, and the good stuff that comes out of a filtration device or filtering
machine is CLEANER than what entered into it. Urine is FILTERED BLOOD =
BLOOD'S PLASMA ULTRA FILTRATE (it's the scientific name of urine) and
therefore it is much purer and cleaner than blood itself! What is toxic goes out
via the lymphatic system which are a group of glands and veins running all over
our bodies and ending on the skin, excreting this waste mainly out through our
pores, but also through our bowels, and lungs which they also connect with.I was talking to a local fruit farmer about why he needed to spray pesticides
every week to ten days and his answer was very revealing.
"It’s all gone within a week or so"
So the insects won’t eat the fruit for about a week after spraying. But after a
week to ten days they start eating it again. The sun, wind and rain not to
mention the half-life of the pesticide means it’s almost all gone in that


 safely kept the two sciences on separate
ground until 1987, when a French immunologist, Jacques
Benveniste, performed an experiment that is outrageous to
all nonquantum views of the world. On the surface, the
experiment began innocuously. Dr. Benveniste took a
common antibody called IgE (standing for immunoglobulin
E type) and exposed it to certain white cells in the blood
called basophils. It is well known what happens when these
two interact—the IgE antibody clamps on ﬁrmly to speciﬁc
receptor sites and waits. What it is waiting for is an
invading molecule ﬂoating by in the bloodstream that needsto be defended against. In this case, the invader  is not a
germ but an antigen, a substance that causes allergies.
If you are allergic to bee sting, the molecules of bee
venom would  not be in your body more than a few seconds
before they triggered the IgE antibody. It in turn would set
oﬀ a comple x chain reaction in the cell that throws the
body’s allergic response into high gear; the basophil would
release a chemical called histamine, which causes the
swelling, redness, itching, and shortness of breath typical
of an allergy attack. The mystery  in allergies is that the
antigens, the oﬀending substances entering the body, are
generally harmless—wool, pollen, dust—and yet the
immune system treats them like the deadliest enemy. To
ﬁnd their cause, allergies have been thoroughly studied at
the molecular level, and one of the results is a ﬁrm grasp of
IgE.
This sets the stage for Dr. Benveniste’s dramatic
experiment. He took some human blood serum full of white
cells and IgE and mixed  it with a solution prepa red from
goat’s blood that was certain to trigger the release of
histamine. This second solution contained an anti-IgE
antibody, which represents bee venom, pollen, or other
antigen. When the IgE and the anti-IgE hit, the reaction in
the test tube went oﬀ exactly as it would in a person with a
bad allergy, and large  amounts of histami ne were
produced.
Benveniste then diluted the anti-IgE tenfold and added it
again—still the same reaction. He kept on diluting, time
after time, and as before, about half of the IgE (40 to 60
percent) continued to react. This was extremely surprising,
because he was well past the limit where the solution
should be chemically active. He decided to dilute the anti-
IgE even more, making it a hundred times weaker each
time, until he knew that there was no anti-IgE at all. His
last dilution contained 1 part antibody to 10120 parts water;if written out, this number would be expressed as 10
followed by 120 zeroes. Using a constant called Avogadro’s
number, he conﬁrmed mathematically that it was
impossible for the water to contain a single molecule of
antibody. When he added this “solution,” which was now
just distilled water, the histamine reaction was set oﬀ with
the same power as before. (The classic Humphrey Bogart
movie, To Have and Have Not, contains the quirky line,
“Have you ever been stung by a dead bee?” In this case,
the bee is also invisible.)
Although his result was an absurdity, Benveniste
duplicated it seventy times, and asked other research
teams to repeat it in Israel, Canada, and Italy—all  came up
with the same result. They all discovered that you can
trigger the immune system with an antibody that isn’t
there. In our terms, Benveniste had uncovered the ghost of
memory—he himself speculates whether water contains the
phantom imprint of the molecules that were once in it. His
results were reluctantly published in the June 1988 issue of
the prestigious British journal Nature. Its editors frankly
declared their repugnance at the result, stating quite
rightly that “there is no physical basis” for it. The human
white cells were acting as if the anti-IgE was attacking
them from everywhere when in fact it was nowhere.
—
Medicine is reluctant to walk through the quantum door,
even though this experiment clearly opens it.* It was widely
held that Benveniste was lending credence to the methods
of homeopathy, a medic al system invented two hundred
years ago by a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann, and
still popular throughout Europe. The term homeopathy
comes from two Greek roots that mean “similar suﬀering”;
this points to the fundam ental homeopathic principle that“like treats like.” Homeopathy approaches  all diseases
using Benve niste’s meth od: tiny amounts of antagonistic
substances are taken by the patient to build up immunity or
to drive out a disease if it is already present.
When conve ntional medicine administers a smallpox
vaccine, it appears that homeopathic logic is at work—the
dead virus in the vaccine stimulates anti-smallpox
antibodies in the body. (This method of ﬁghting smallpox
goes back to ancient China, where doctors knew to take
scabs from the sores of smallpox victims and rub them on
small cuts in the arms of those they wanted to protect from
the disease.)  Unlike vaccination, however, homeopathy is
based on symptoms rather than on the actual organisms
that cause a disease.
Using an elaborate system of poisons and toxic herbs that
mimic the symptoms of true disease, the homeopath gives
the body a taste of what he wants to cure. Ground-up Nux
vomica  seeds, for example, which contain strychnine,
would be given to counteract chronic fatigue and
irritability, because they produce these symptoms
themselves. Benveniste’s experimen t in fact did not
endorse homeopathic logic as a whole but only a corner of
it, by showin g that the body can react to a micro dose of a
foreign substance. The rest of homeopathy remains
ambiguous. (The principle of “like treats like” is accepted
in Ayurveda, and even broadened to say that every part of
the body is matched by herbs, minerals, and even colors
and sounds that can be used to treat it. However, Ayurveda
does not follow the homeopathic logic that the body should
be made sick in order to make it well.)
The deeper import of Benveniste’s experiment, I believe,
is brought out by one of the quantum diagrams from the
last chapter:A bodily process, we noted, is like a bucket brigade, a
chain of events passing from one step to another, with the
exception of the ﬁrst bucket (B). This bucket appears as if
out of nowhere, even though we can obviously see that it is
triggered by some initial impulse (A). What Benveniste did
so beautifull y was to strip this model down to its barest
essentials:
We continually cross over from the state of no molecules
to one. If you try to remember the ﬁrst time you ever drove
a car, the brain chemicals  present on that occasion have by
now vanished. (Most of them disappeared before the drive
was over.) When you re-create that memory today, seeing
the car and feeling the steering wheel in your hands, you
are triggering cellular reactions that begin “nowhere,”
since your brain cells are as empty of the old molecules as
Benveniste’s water.If you can explain how the bodymind gets from no
molecules to one, then a great many mysteries about the
brain will be cleared up. After that ﬁrst tiny bit of matter,
the rest of the sequence follows laws of nature that are well
known. Aside from homeopathy, I see a much clearer
example in the strange psychiatric cases known as multiple
personalities. Nothing in the mind-body ﬁeld seems quite
so inexplicable, for when a person with multiple
personalities shifts from one to the other, his body shifts
too.
One personality might have diabetes, for example, and
the person will be insulin-deﬁcient as long as that
personality is in force. Yet the other personalitie s may be
completely free of diabetes, recording the same blood
sugar levels as a normal person. Daniel Goleman, a
psychologist and frequent reporter on mind-body topics,
describes a child named Timmy who adopts nearly  a dozen
separate personalities.
One of these breaks out into hives if he drinks orange
juice. “The hives will occur,” Goleman writes, “even if
Timmy drink s orange juice and another personality  appears
while the juice is still being digested. What is more, if
Timmy comes back while the allergic reaction is present,
the itching of the hives  will cease immediately, and the
water-ﬁlled blisters will begin to subside.”
When I ﬁrst read these words, I felt very excited. Medical
texts do not say that allergic reactions can be turned oﬀ
and on at will. How could they? The white cells of the
immune system, coated with antibodies like IgE, merely
wait for the contact of an antigen. When contact

When thinking about integrating the system of Internal Exercises (or the
Tao of Revitalization) into our daily lives, it is important to keep in mind
the ancient Taoist proverb which states simply: ulf you do external ex
ercises, you must do internal exercises''. External exercises expend energy
without replacing it, and therefore we feel a need to rest after strenuous
physical activity. On the other hand, Internal Exercises work to conserve
and build up our energy. The proverb continues: ''If you do internal
exercises, you may forget to practice external exercises' '-because one
benefits complet ely through the practice of Internal Exercises.
This is not to imply that one should not practice external exercises such
as tennis, running, or golf. The Taoists were only recognizing the fact that,
by themselves, external exercises are incomplete and need to be balanced
by the addition of these simple techniques for rebalancing and supplanting
the loss of energy incurred through external exercises.
The Internal Exercises energize, train, and strengthen the internal organs
and tissues so they may become strong and healthy. When the internal body
and mind is strong, we will lack the opportu nity to become diseased. The
beauty of the Internal Exercises is that they are very easy to practice. No
matter where you are or what time it is, it is possible to practice these simple
techniques: when you are driving along in your car, do the Deer Exercise by
squeezing the sphi ncter muscles. Nothing could be s impler or easier to
practice; no special equipment is needed and no one else need know what
you are doing!
In addition, Internal Exercises encoura ge the circulatory system without Conclusion
speeding up the heart rate. All the exercises are done slowly, without
effort. You see, the number of times our heart beats during our lifetime
indicates the length of our life. We do not want the heart to wear out
prematur ely. The heart rate does not increase during the practice of these
exercises and, yet, through their practice the heart rate actually slows
down. We are therefore able to increase our life expectancy

magic you begin to see, once you change the lens through which you view your world.  When we change the way we believe  in
things, the things we look at change.

Chapter Three:
The Transparency of Truth
/G01
/G1C/G06/G17/G10/G07/G14/G06/G14/G03/G01/G02/G06/G0E/G07/G07/G11/G06/G17/G05/G05/G10/G03/G0C/G0E/G04/G06/G14/G03/G01/G02/G03/G0C/G06/G1A/G07/G12/G0A/G06/G06/G1D/G09/G12/G01/G02/G06/G03/G04/G06/G01/G09/G12/G04/G01/G03/G0C/G0E/G06
that those good feelings, of di vine creative loving power,
are the magic that fills your inner space and creates a rich
inner life.  It is the belief in the magical, infinite goodness
of all that exists that brings ri ch truths into your experience.
/G01/G01 /G28 Spirit 1/26/09

 For as far back as I can re member, I have always been
a barometer of truth.  It seemed to be sewn into my energetic fabric somehow, like Peter Pan and his shadow.  Only what
was sewn to me was the light of truth.  I tested this, trying  once to consciously lie when I was a small child.  I suffered so terribly for it that I turned myself in.  Facing the consequences of telling an untruth was so much more acceptable to me than living the experience of the lie.  Because the truth is... that
truth often brings the experience of profound inner peace.
Truth is the vibration of So urce energy.  Whatever the
true truth is in your experience, for you and for anyone, when
we experience it, it flows with the pure light an d unconditional
love of Source energy within us.  And so, truth can act as a
healing balm to soothe a troubled spirit.  When we allow the transparency of truth in our lives, we allow the magic of Source
energy to flow through us and into our life experiences.  With Source energy consciously pres ent, there is no shame in
anything that we perceive our selves or our situation to be.  There is no shame in transparen cy.  There is only clarity,
compassion, and infinite choice.  When we choose to allow  the transparent truth of our co re true selves, desires, and
experiences to surface, we release our resistance, and we allow ourselves to feel the blissful calm and divine empowerment of
living the inner truth of who we deeply and truly are.  We are perfect, infinite, whole, and magnificently creative beings, who Cosmic Wealth
 24
create and sculpt a variety of experiences, to try them on, in
order to better know and to grow our inner divine light.  And  in the transparency of truth, we  are all doing exactly what we
are here to do.  There is perfecti on in everything in our lives.
When we consciously choose to step into the awareness that  we can deliberately choose  our every experience, supported by
the divine design of Source energy itself, we take another step into the rich expanse of a pr osperous inner life.
Many have forgotten this truth about truth.  True truth,
Source truth, is transparent, which is one of its greatest gifts.
After my own little youthful experiment with untruth, my
personal footpath in the light of truth was more clearly chosen into my life experiences.  Trut h would be my guide and my
path in my life.  I once heard Sonia Choquette (an intuitive, author, and inspirational teacher)  capture the esse nce of truth’s
transparency, when she said, “ truth withstands scrutiny very
well.”  It simply does, and I am grateful that it has been a
spiritual compass to me, helping me  to navigate the twists and
turns of earthly life.  It can be this for all of us, if we choose it  to be.    Over the years, my sense and appreciation of truth expanded further.  My karmic a ppointment awakened me to the
concept that we are all sentient beings, who are able to feel and
perceive experiences.  To the exte nt that we open our hearts and
allow  the truth of sentience in our lives, we can enjoy or resist its
benefits, proportionately.  Our sentient systems are what tell  us what we are feeling.  It is  like our own human, inner, GPS
system, which can guide the direction and course of our lives  to our highest good - if we so choose.  Source energy flows through our inner sentience, communicating with us at all  times whether we are on track in the flow of good feelings,  and when we are not.  If we lis ten, and if we choose to honor
its communications, sentience is another level of truth that can guide our earthly experience - from  its expanded aerial view of
the infinite energetic intelligence  in the universe.  We have
perhaps misunderstood the value of our feelings in the past, and thus our sentient gifts.  However, if we choose to shift into the truth of what they really are,  they add a significant richness The Transparency of Truth 25
to our lives.  The truth of sentience helps to guide us into the
“greater good” outcomes of our chosen life experiences and  our ultimate divine expansions.
In my own journey, this karmic appointment awakened
me to my own sentience.  I discovered my personal gifts of clairsentience and claircognizance, which essentially describe the intuitive gifts of “clear fee ling” and “clear knowing.”  They
are simply expansions of the basic sentient inner guidance
system.  I can often see, feel, hear, and know th ings, seen and
unseen, that other people someti mes do not.  Expanding from
that, I can also receive channeled messages from Spirit, which has become a tremendous source of guidance in my life, my healing, and my cosmic wealth development.  These intuitive
gifts were not a part of my religious upbringing, but they ring true for me in my present life an d so they are no w an integrated,
accepted part of who I am.  Some of these channeled messages are shared throughout this book, and again at the end in the appendix, for your healing and in spirational benefit if you
have further interest.
If we allow our sentience to become a transparent truth
in our lives, it can enhance our life experiences ex ponentially.
A willingness  to experience the truth of  your sentience, and thus
your inner guidance system, is all that is required to take the first steps.  Allowing the f eelings to surface, and simply
discerning whether you feel good or not  in relation to your
thought, desire, or circumstance, is the simple way to expand your inner listening skills.  If fee lings arise that feel good, and
in the flow, then that may be a sign that you are moving in a
positive direction with your desires and choices.  If feelings arise that do not feel good, th en your sentient self may be
communicating that you are getting off track from your higher good.  Tweaking your thoughts in the direction of what you desire, paired with receiving the feedback from your sentient guidance system of “feeling good” or “not feeling good,” can move you into the transparent truth and highest good of the  life experience you are desiring  and presently manifesting.
  Now, in a world of truth, there exists a parallel world of illusion.  Each is a contrast of th e other, granting us the gift of Cosmic Wealth
 26
choice and greater expansion.  Some of us are unconsciously
living in the parallel world of illusion.  And there are all kinds – personal illusions, cultural illusion s, religious illusions, political
illusions, power illusions, love illusions, and more.  The significance of illusions in this cosmic wealth conversation is
simply this.  When we choose, consciously or unconsciously, to accept  an illusion or to live an illusion, we invite /G08/G09/G19/G13/G19/G0F/G0B/G0E/G0C/G09 /G01 /G02/G03/G10/G07/G01
our vibration.  And by resonating  in this resistance, we leave
our natural stream of well-being and our flow of prosperous good feelings.  This is the inner guidance system speaking with us, about the fork in the road in front of us, in terms of the experience we are about to choose and to have.  If we were fully
conscious of this fork, we could choose to turn back to the light of truth and flow of Source energy (through deliberate thought, feeling, or action) /G07/G09 /G01/G1C/G04/G01/G13/G07/G08/G0C/G11/G01/G13/G0B/G07/G07/G16/G04/G01/G10/G07/G01/G10/G08/G05/G03/G01/G0A/G08/G05/G10/G0B/G04/G05/G01/G10/G07/G1C/G12

Pharmaceutical Antibiotics vs. Nature’s Anti-Parasitics

Throughout this book I’ve touched upon parasites (including bacteria,
funguses, and worms) and their role in nature. Now as we consider chemical
medications versus herbs, I think it’s important to understand two things.
First, there are no such “things” as diseases—there are only varying degrees
of acidosis and toxicity. Secondly, you can’t “treat” acidosis and toxicity with
more acidosis and toxicity (e.g., chemical medications). Treatment of
“disease” symptoms by chemical medications is ludicrous, toxic, damaging to
cells, and many times deadlier. In my opinion, among the many chemical
forms of treatment, antibiotics stand out as being some of the worst,
especially in the side effects they create in your body.
One of the main tenets of the allopathic medical philosophy is the “germ
theory”—perpetuated by Louis Pasteur, who believed that because
microorganisms were present in most disease processes, that they must
certainly be the “cause.” He did not consider the idea that they were only
secondary to the cause.
The naturopathic view has always considered parasites to be secondary to
the real causes of disease—toxicity and acidosis. (We have covered most of
this in
Chapter 5
 when we considered parasites and the causes of disease.)
Especially in the last four generations, humans have weakened their
organs and glands considerably. We have weakened our cellular structures
and functions through our lifestyle and diet, and passed these weaknesses
along to our children. With each generation, cells are becoming weaker while
the body’s inflammatory responses to toxicity are greater than ever before,
and the lymphatic highway (lymph system) has become highly obstructed.
This has greatly affected the immune response. Our ability to digest and
absorb our foods has dramatically decreased. Add all the above factors
together and you can begin to see why your cells succumb to parasites.Remember, parasites are God’s way of keeping your body clean. They
consume by-products
of metabolism and digestion, as well as other toxins.
They also eliminate your weak or dying cells. Because this can be life-
threatening in many toxic, weakened and congested people, modern medical
science has sought to fight back. Thus, the world of antibiotics was born.
The Bad News
At least 2 1/2 million people enter the hospital each year from adverse
reactions to chemical medications. At least 180,000 people die each year
from chemical medications. (Some have estimated this to be over
500,000).
—Washington Post
Around 100,000 people die each year from iatrogenic diseases (caused
by allopathic physicians).
100,000 people die each year from hospital errors. You have a 1 in 200
chance of dying in a hospital from hospital errors. —
Discovery News

Humans themselves have created a great many strains of
microorganisms, especially bacteria. These include M.R.S.A. (methicillin-
resistant staphylococcus aureus), Sinorhizobium meliloti bacterium and the
Rhizobia (RMBPC) bacterium, just to name a few. From these and many
others we see conditions like “hoof and mouth” disease, M.R.S.A. infections,
and “Mad Cow Disease.” Many of these conditions lead to death.
Viruses are a whole different subject. Many deadly and debilitating
viruses have been created due to contamination; in the search for weapons of
biological warfare; and even as forms of simple population control. For a
frightening look into the subject of viruses and their use by the scientific
community, refer to
Emerging Viruses
 by Leonard G. Horowitz.
Now let’s look at antibiotics, both the pharmaceutically-manufactured
and the natural.
PHARMACEUTICAL ANTIBIOTICS

Pharmaceutical antibiotics are also known as sulfa drugs. Most contain
primarily a sulfur derivative with additional highly toxic chemical
compounds. This type of sulfur is inorganic and has a cumulative effect
within your body. If you consume too many sulfa drugs, you will eventuallybecome allergic and/or immune to them.
Sulfur is an inhibitor with affinity to intestinal and lymphatic tissues. This
creates hypoactivity in these areas. Typically, when a person comes down
with a simple cold and/or flu-like symptom because he/she has congested
him/ herself by consuming sugars, diary products, or other congesting foods,
the following process takes place:
A stimulus—like an overload of bacteria, fungi, cold winds or weather,
or excessive weakness—trips the body into a healing or cleansing
process. But the allopathic medical community sees this as a disease it
must treat.
Because this congestion or mucus is loaded with microorganisms, it is
now labelled an “infection.”
Antibiotics are given for suppressing, and thus eliminating these types of
symptoms.
These sulfa drugs, however, inhibit the lymph system.
The body’s natural efforts to eliminate this congestion are stopped.
Congestion and toxicity must be eliminated not just suppressed.
Otherwise, your body is forced to store this congestion. These toxins, plus
any added sulfur and other chemicals that you may have consumed to treat
your condition, are stored within your tissues (intestinal, lymph, lymph
nodes, etc.). You can’t just kill the microorganisms that feed and live in this
toxic
congestion. You must remove the toxic congestion too.
Over time, suppressing the body’s natural cleansing processes creates a
steady decline in cellular health and/or causes tumors to be formed. It also
goes without saying that this creates a continuous inflammatory response by
your immune system. The end result of this scenario in today’s world is
cancer, in one form or another.
Let’s take a look at CIPRO, one popular antibiotic that is frequently
being used. It was highly recommended for anthrax until people caught on to
the devastating side effects to all the systems of the body. These include:
