athing	should	only	be	through	your	nose. Do	not	breathe
through	your	mouth. Nature	has	provided	us	with	a	wonderful	instrument,	our
nose,	to	help	make	our	breathing	more	regular,	filter	incoming	air	and	help
retain	moisture	in	the	body. Many	humans	sleep,	walk,	rest	and	work	with
their	mouth	open,	as	if	their	nose	is	nothing	more	than	an	ornament! Mouth	breathing	generates	chaotic	and	upper	chest	breathing	that	stimulates
the	sympathetic	nervous	system. On	the	other	hand,	nasal	breathing	and
correct	posture	help	promote	regular	and	diaphragmatic	breathing,	thus
generating	calmness. Just	watch	a	healthy	baby	breathe	for	an	example	of
good	breathing. Note:

If	your	CP	is	less	than	10	seconds,	then	refrain	from	holding	your	breath	for
too	long. Your	nose	gets	blocked	as	a	result	of	breathing	too	much. Blood
vessels	become	inflamed	and	larger	amounts	of	mucus	are	secreted,	making
breathing	through	your	nose	more	difficult. A	vicious	circle	ensues	because,	as	your	nose	becomes	blocked,	you	switch	to
mouth	breathing. This	involves	an	even	greater	loss	of	CO
2
,	resulting	in	even
more	congestion. The	following	exercise	is	very	effective	for	decongesting	your	nose	in	just	a
few	minutes. Sit	up	straight. Take	a	small	breath	in	through	your	nose	if	possible,	and	a	small	breath
out. If	your	nose	is	quite	blocked,	take	a	tiny	breath	in	through	the	corner
of	your	mouth. Pinch	your	nose	with	your	fingers	and	hold	your	breath. Keep	your
mouth	closed.Gently	nod	your	head	or	sway	your	body	until	you	feel	that	you	cannot
hold	your	breath	any	longer. Hold	your	nose	until	you	feel	a	strong
desire	to	breathe. When	you	need	to	inhale,	let	go	of	your	nose	and	breathe	gently	through
it,	in	and	out,	with	your	mouth	closed. Calm	your	breathing	as	soon	as	possible. If	your	nose	does	not	become	totally	unblocked,	wait	about	30	seconds	until
your	breathing	has	recovered	before	performing	this	exercise	again. You	will
need	to	do	this	exercise	a	number	of	times	before	your	nose	is	completely
unblocked. Doing	this	exercise	many	times	will	unblock	your	nose. You	might	also	feel
warm	and	more	alert	given	the	dilatation	of	your	blood	vessels. This	exercise
is	also	useful	for	shifting	mucus	from	the	airways	and	for	removing
constipation. To	remove	constipation,	perform	this	breath	hold	exercise	many
times	while	sitting	on	the	loo!A	low	CP	indicates	that	you	are	breathing	big,	and	your	nose	will	become
blocked	again. Your	nose	will	remain	clear	only	when	your	morning	CP	is
over	20	seconds. Perform	this	exercise	each	time	that	your	nose	becomes	blocked. Even	if	you
have	a	cold,	make	sure	to	breathe	through	your	nose. You	might	think	that
you	cannot	clear	your	nose	when	you	have	a	heavy	cold,	but	you	can. If	you
do	have	a	head	cold,	close	your	mouth	and	reduce	your	breathing	throughout
the	day. Your	nostrils	are	smaller	and	thus	create	more	resistance	than	breathing
through	your	mouth. As	a	result,	you	may	feel	that	you	are	not	getting	enough
air. This	sensation	will	last	for	a	short	time. In	a	few	days,	your	respiratory
centre	will	become	accustomed	to	the	more	correct	volume	that	you	are
breathing. Whatever	you	do,	keep	your	mouth	closed. Your	body	may	begin	to	play
tricks	and	convince	you	to	breathe	more	by	inducing	yawning,	sighing,
regular	sniffing	or	the	odd	mouth	breath. Do	not	increase	your	breathing	at
this	point. When	you	feel	a	need	to	breathe	big	arises,	for	example	during	a	sigh,
swallow	immediately. If	you	need	to	yawn,	avoid	taking	the	big	breath	that
accompanies	a	yawn. Instead,	stifle	the	yawn	by	keeping	your	mouth	closed
or	by	swallowing. It	takes	just	a	few	days	for	a	habitual	mouth	breather	to	change	into	a
permanent	nasal	breather. Increased	observation	of	your	breathing	and
practicing	to	breathe	less	are	important	elements	to	making	this	change. Nasal
breathing	should	be	enshrined	at	all	times	and	during	every	activity. Remember	that	when	you	mouth	breathe	for	periods	of	time,	you	are	reducing
oxygenation	of	your	brain! Correcting	breathing	volume	(easy	approach)
T
here	are	two	approaches	to	learning	how	to	return	your	breathing	volume
to	normal	levels. The	following	is	the	easier	version. Sit	up	straight. Bring	your	attention	to	your	breathing. Concentrate	on	the	air	flowing	into	and	from	your	nostrils. Feel	the	air
going	in	and	coming	out	of	the	nose. Watch,	feel	and	listen	to	this	for	a
few	minutes. Can	you	feel	the	air? You	might	feel	cold	air	on	the	inner	part	of	your
nostrils	as	it	enters	your	body. You	might	feel	warm	air	leaving	your
nostrils. You	might	feel	the	air	moving	over	the	top	of	your	lip. Just	follow	your	breath. If	a	thought	comes	in,	as	it	will,	just	bring	your
attention	back	to	the	air	passing	through	your	nostrils. Keep	bringing	your	attention	back	to	your	breath,	over	and	over	again. Don’t	get	upset	if	your	mind	wanders. This	will	happen	and	is	the	nature
of	thought. Keep	bringing	your	attention	back	to	your	nostrils,	over	and
over	again.When	you	notice	your	mind	wandering,	you	are	waking	up. Before	this,	you
might	not	have	noticed. You	might	not	have	known	what	thoughts	you	were
thinking. You	might	not	have	known	the	effect	from	these	thoughts. After	a	few	minutes,	proceed	to	the	next	stage. Relax. Imagine	tension	dissolving	from	your	chest	and	tummy	while	you
reduce	your	breathing. As	you	relax,	your	breathing	will	reduce
automatically. When	you	can	follow	your	breathing,	place	your	finger	under	your	nose
in	a	horizontal	position. Your	finger	should	lie	just	above	your	top	lip,
close	enough	to	your	nostrils	so	that	you	can	feel	the	air	flowing	but	not
so	close	that	you	block	the	air	flow. Monitor	the	amount	of	air	flowing	through	your	nostrils. Now,	breathe	air	slightly	into	the	tip	of	your	nostrils. For	example,	just
take	in	enough	air	to	fill	your	nostrils	and	no	more. Breathe	in	a	flicker
of	air	(maybe	1	cm)	with	each	breath. As	you	exhale,	pretend	that	your	finger	is	a	feather. Breathe	out	gently
onto	your	finger	so	that	the	feather	does	not	move. When	you	breathe	out,	the	more	warm	air	you	feel,	the	bigger	you	are
breathing. Concentrate	on	calming	your	breath	to	reduce	the	amount	of
warm	air	you	feel	on	your	finger.

        But	funding	of
genetic	research	continues	to	spiral	upwards	in	the	belief	that	specific	genes
account	for	the	occurrence	of	specific	diseases,	in	the	hope	that	we	somehow
will	be	able	to	“turn	off”	these	nasty	genes. Drug	company	public	relations
programs	now	depict	a	future	where	each	of	us	will	have	a	personal	ID	card
cataloging	all	of	our	good	and	bad	genes. Using	this	card,	we	will	be	expected
to	go	to	our	doctor,	who	will	prescribe	a	single	pill	to	suppress	our	bad	genes. I	strongly	suspect	these	miracles	will	never	be	realized,	or	if	tried	they	will
have	serious,	unintended	consequences. These	futuristic	pipe	dreams	obscure
the	affordable,	efficacious	health	solutions	that	currently	exist:	solutions
based	in	nutrition. In	my	own	laboratory	we	have	shown	in	experimental	animals	that	cancer
growth	can	be	turned	on	and	off	by	nutrition,	despite	very	strong	genetic
predisposition. We	have	studied	these	effects	in	great	detail	and	have
published	our	findings	in	the	very	best	scientific	journals. As	you	will	see
later,	these	findings	are	nothing	short	of	spectacular,	and	the	same	effects
have	been	indicated	over	and	over	again	in	humans. Eating	the	right	way	not	only	prevents	disease	but	also	generates	health
and	a	sense	of	well-being,	both	physically	and	mentally. Some	world-class
athletes,	such	as	ironman	Dave	Scott,	track	stars	Carl	Lewis	and	EdwinMoses,	tennis	great	Martina	Navratilova,	world	champion	wrestler	Chris
Campbell	(no	relation)	and	sixty-eight-year-old	marathoner	Ruth	Heidrich
have	discovered	that	consuming	a	low-fat,
plant-based	diet	gives	them	a
significant	edge	in	performance. In	the	laboratory,	we	fed	experimental	rats	a
diet	similar	to	the	usual	American	fare—rich	in	animal-based	protein—and
compared	them	with	other	rats	fed	a	diet	low	in	animal-based	protein. Guess
what	happened	when	both	sets	of	rats	had	an	opportunity	to	voluntarily	use
exercise	wheels. Those	fed	the	low-animal	protein	diet	exercised
substantially	more,	with	less	fatigue,	than	those	fed	the	type	of	diet	that	most
of	us	eat. This	was	the	same	effect	observed	by	these	world-class	athletes. This	shouldn’t	be	news	to	the	medical	establishment. A	century	ago,
Professor	Russell	Chittenden,	a	famous,	well	established	nutrition	researcher
at	Yale	University	Medical	School,	investigated	whether	eating	a	plant-based
diet	affected	students’	physical	capacities. 34,	35
	He	fed	some	students,	fellow
faculty	and	himself	a	plant-based	diet	and	measured	their	physical
performance	tests. He	got	the	same	results	as	our	rats	almost	a	century	later—
and	they	were	equally	spectacular. Then	there	is	the	question	of	our	excessive	dependence	on	drugs	and
surgery	to	control	our	health. In	its	simplest	form,	eating	the	right	way	would
largely	obviate	the	enormous	costs	of	using	drugs,	as	well	as	their	side	effects. Fewer	people	would	need	to	wage	lengthy,	expensive	battles	with	chronic
disease	in	hospitals	over	their	last	years	of	life. Health	care	costs	would	drop
and	medical	mistakes	would	wane	as	premature	death	plummeted. In	essence,
our	health	care	system	would	finally	protect	and	promote	our	health	as	it	is
meant	to	do. SIMPLE	BEGINNINGS
As	I	look	back,	I	often	think	about	life	on	the	farm	and	how	it	shaped	my
thinking	in	so	many	ways. My	family	was	immersed	in	nature	every	waking
moment. In	the	summer,	from	sunrise	to	sunset,	we	were	outdoors	planting
and	harvesting	the	crops	and	taking	care	of	the	animals. My	mother	had	the
best	garden	in	our	part	of	the	country	and	toiled	day	in	and	day	out	during	the
summer	to	keep	our	family	well	fed	with	fresh	food,	all	produced	on	our	own
farm. I’ve	had	an	amazing	journey,	to	be	sure. I	have	been	startled	time	and	time
again	by	what	I	have	learned. I	wish	that	my	family	and	others	around	us	had
had	the	same	information	back	in	the	mid-1900s	that	we	now	have	about	food
and	health. If	we	had,	my	father	could	have	prevented,	or	reversed,	his	heart
disease. He	could	have	met	my	youngest	son,	his	namesake,	who	is
collaborating	with	me	on	this	book. He	might	have	lived	for	several	more
years	with	a	higher	quality	of	health. My	journey	in	science	over	the	past
forty-five	years	has	convinced	me	that	it	is	now	more	urgent	than	ever	to
show	how	people	can	avoid	these	tragedies. The	science	is	there	and	it	must
be	made	known. We	cannot	let	the	status	quo	go	unchallenged	and	watch	our
loved	ones	suffer	unnecessarily. It	is	time	to	stand	up,	clear	the	air	and	take
control	of	our	health. 2
A	House	of	Proteins
M
Y	ENTIRE	PROFESSIONAL	CAREER
	in	biomedical	research	has	centered	on
protein. Like	an	invisible	leash,	protein	tethered	me	wherever	I	went,	from	the
basic	research	laboratory	to	the	practical	programs	of	feeding	malnourished
children	in	the	Philippines	to	the	government	board-rooms	where	our	national
health	policy	was	being	formulated. Protein,	often	regarded	with	unsurpassed
awe,	is	the	common	thread	tying	together	past	and	present	knowledge	about
nutrition. The	story	of	protein	is	part	science,	part	culture	and	a	good	dose	of
mythology. I	am	reminded	of	the	words	of	Goethe,	first	brought	to	my
attention	by	my	friend	Howard	Lyman,	a	prominent	lecturer,	author	and
former	cattle	rancher:	“We	are	best	at	hiding	those	things	which	are	in	plain
sight. ”	Nothing	has	been	so	well	hidden	as	the	untold	story	of	protein. The
dogma	surrounding	protein	censures,	reproaches	and	guides,	directly	or
indirectly,	almost	every	thought	we	have	in	biomedical	research. Ever	since	the	discovery	of	this	nitrogen-containing	chemical	in	1839	by
the	Dutch	chemist	Gerhard	Mulder,	protein	has	loomed	as	the	most	sacred	of
all	nutrients. The


crease	in	prostate	cancer	risk	with	increased	lycopene	intake;	three	non-
statistically	significant	studies	agree;	and	seven	studies	do	not	show	any
association. 28
	But	these	studies	measured	lycopene	intake	from
whole	foods,
namely	tomatoes. So,	while	these	studies	certainly	indicate	that	the	tomato	is
still	a	healthy	food,
28
	does	that	mean	we	can	assume	that	lycopene,	by	itself,
reduces	prostate	cancer	risk? There	are	hundreds,	even	thousands,	of
chemicals	in	tomatoes. Do	we	have	evidence	that	isolated	lycopene	will	do
what	tomatoes	do,	especially	for	those	who	don’t	like	tomatoes? The	answer
is	no. 29
There	is	no	evidence	for	a	lycopene-specific	effect	on	prostate	cancer,	and
I	seriously	doubt	whether	we	will	ever	have	convincing	evidence. Nonetheless	the	lycopene	business	is	up	and	running. In-depth	studies	are
underway	to	determine	the	most	effective	dose	of	lycopene	as	well	as	to
determine	whether	commercial	lycopene	preparations	are	safe	(when	tested	in
rats	and	rabbits,	that	is). 27
	Also,	consideration	is	being	given	to	the	possibility
of	genetically	modifying	plants	for	higher	levels	of	lycopene	and	other
carotenoids. 30
	It	is	a	real	stretch	to	call	this	series	of	lycopene	reports
legitimate	science. In	my	book,	this	is	what	I	call	technological	tinkering	and
marketing,	not	science. Five	years	before	the	latest	“discovery”	of	lycopene,	a	graduate	student	of
mine,	Youping	He,	compared	four	different	carotenoids	(beta-carotene,
lycopene	from	tomatoes,	canthaxanthin	from	carrots	and	cryptoxanthin	from
oranges)	regarding	their	ability	to	prevent	cancer	in	experimental	animals. 31,
32
	Depending	on	what	we	were	testing	and	how
we	did	the	test,	single
carotenoids	could	have	widely	ranging	potencies. While	one	carotenoid	is
potent	in	one	reaction,	the	same	carotenoid	is	far	less	potent	for	another
reaction. This	variation	manifests	itself	in	countless	ways	involving	hundreds
of	antioxidants	and	thousands	of	different	reactions,	forming	a	nearlyindecipherable	network. Consuming	one	carotenoid	at	a	time	in	the	form	of	a
pill	will	never	be	the	same	as	eating	the	whole	food,	which	provides	the
natural	network	of	health-supporting	nutrients. Five	years	after	our	rather	obscure	work	on	these	antioxidants,
32
	a	Harvard
study
33
	effectively	kicked	off	the	lycopene	campaign. In	my	opinion,
lycopene,	as	a	cancer	fighter,	is	headed	for	an	already	overcrowded	magic
bullet	graveyard,	leaving	behind	a	trail	of	deep	confusion.FRUIT	CLAIMS
The	fruit	industry	plays	this	game	just	like	everyone	else. For	example,	when
you	think	of	vitamin	C,	what	food	product	comes	to	mind? If	you	don’t	think
of	oranges	and	orange	juice,	you	are	unusual. Most	of	us	have	heard	ad
nauseum	that	oranges	are	a	good	source	of	vitamin	C.
This	belief,	however,	is	just	another	result	of	good	marketing. How	much
do	you	know,	for	example,	about	vitamin	C’s	relationship	to	diet	and	disease? Let’s	start	with	the	basics. Although	you	probably	know	that	oranges	are	a
good	source	of	vitamin	C,	you	may	be	surprised	to	know	that	many	other
plant	foods	have	considerably	more. One	cup	of	peppers,	strawberries,
broccoli	or	peas	all	have	more. One	papaya	has	as	much	as	four	times	more
vitamin	C	than	one	orange. 34
Beyond	the	fact	that	many	other	foods	are	better	sources	of	vitamin	C,
what	can	we	say	about	the	vitamin	C	that	is	in	oranges? This	concerns	the
ability	of	the	vitamin	to	act	as	an	antioxidant. How	much	of	the	total
antioxidant	activity	in	an	orange	is	actually	contributed	by	its	vitamin	C? Probably	not	more	than	1–2%. 35
	Furthermore,	measuring	antioxidant	activity
by	using	“test	tube”	studies	does	not	represent	the	same	vitamin	C	activity
that	takes	place	in	our	bodies. Most	of	our	impressions	about	vitamin	C	and	oranges	are	a	mixture	of
conjectures	and	assumptions	about	out-of-context	evidence. Who	first
established	these	assumptions? Orange	merchants. Did	they	justify	their
assumptions	on	the	basis	of	careful	research? Of	course	not. Did	these
assumptions	(presented	as	fact)	sound	good	to	the	marketing	people? Of
course	they	did. Would	I	eat	an	orange	to	get	my	vitamin
C? No. Would	I	eat
an	orange	because	it	is	a	healthy	plant	food	with	a	complex	network	of
chemicals	that	almost	certainly	offer	health	benefits? Absolutely. I	played	a	small	role	in	this	story	a	couple	of	decades	ago. In	the	1970s
and	1980s,	I	appeared	in	a	television	ad	for	citrus	fruits. A	New	York	public
relations	firm	for	the	Florida	Citrus	Commission	had	earlier	interviewed	me
about	fruit,	nutrition	and	health. This	interview,	unknown	to	me	at	the	time,
was	the	source	of	my	presence	on	the	ad. I	had	not	seen	the	ad	and	I	did	not
get	paid	for	it,	but,	nonetheless,	I	was	one	of	the	talking	heads	that	helped	the
Florida	Citrus	Commission	build	its	case	for	the	vitamin	C	content	of	oranges. Why	did	I	do	the	interview? At	that	point	in	my	career,	I	probably	thought
that	the	vitamin	C	in	oranges	was	important,	and,	regardless	of	vitamin	C,
oranges	were	very	healthy	foods	to	eat. It	is	very	easy	for	scientists	to	get	caught	in	the	reductionism	web	of
thinking,	even	if	they	have	other	intentions. It	has	not	been	until	recently,after	a	lifetime	of	research,	that	I	have	come	to	realize	how	damaging	it	is	to
take	details	out	of	context	and	to	make	subsequent	claims	about	diet	and
health. Industry	uses	these	details	extremely	well,	and	the	result	is	public
confusion. Every	year,	it	seems,	some	new	product	is	being	touted	as	the	key
to	good	health. The	situation	is	so	bad	that	“health”	sections	of	grocery	stores
are	often	stocked	more	with	supplements	and	special	preparations	of
seemingly	magic	ingredients	than	they	are	with	real	food. Don’t	be	tricked:
the	healthiest	section	of	any	store	is	the	place	where	they	sell	whole	fruits	and
vegetables—the	produce	section. Perhaps	worst	of	all,	industry	corrupts	scientific	evidence	even	when	its
product	has	been	linked	to	serious	health	problems. Our	kids	are	often	the
most	coveted	targets	of	their	marketing. The	American	government	has
passed	legislation	preventing	cigarette	and	alcohol	companies	from	marketing
their	products	to	children. Why	have	we	ignored	food? Even	though	it	is
accepted	that	food	plays	a	major	role	in	many	chronic	diseases,	we	allow	food
industries	not	only	to	market	directly	to	children,	but	also	to	use	our	publicly-
funded	school	systems	to	do	it. The	long-term	burden	of	our	short


 upon a combination of plant
foods and animal foods for optimum nutrition. The plant
foods doubtless should predominate in quantity, as they have with the most successful dietary regimes, but they cannot be
used to the exclusion of all else. What has been said with re ference to a strict vegetarian
diet, from which all animal foods are excluded, does not
apply to a lacto-vegetarian diet, which includes dairy
products, or a lacto-ova vegetarian diet, which includes both
dairy products and eggs. Vegetarianism can be successful if adequate animal-food substitutes for meat are included in the
dietary. Some racial groups have sustained high levels of
health by utilizing liberal amounts of dairy products and very
little meat. Others have succeeded in building superb bodies
with meat but no dairy products. In the therapeutic use of raw diets, remarkable successes have been achieved on both lacto-
vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets. The obvious deduction is
that meat is compatible with good health but not essential to
good health. There is room for both lacto-vegetarians and
non-vegetarians in the modern world, and both may secure adequate nutrition from the wide variety of foods which are at
man's disposal. The proper selection of foods in an uncooked dietary is
quite simple and can easily be established on a practical basis. Instinct alone tends to lead to sufficient variety in selection providing no food classes are omitted from the diet for
ethical, religious, or economic reasons. A satisfactory
uncooked diet may include fruits, nuts, vegetables, legumes,
grains, seeds, tree saps, flowers, herbs, fungi, honey, milk,
cheese, eggs, and meat. The diet must be omnivorous or lacto-vegetarian, and it may be derived from both the land
and sea. Domestic foods will form the basis for the diet under
present conditions. Edible wild plants are not essential, but
they do represent accessory foods which can add significantly
to the pleasure and nutritive value of the diet. In terms of total composition, the uncooked diet is thus easy to select, simple
to balance, and available to everyone living under modern
conditions of food production and distribution. 9
RAW FOOD IN PREPARATION
AND USE
THE PREPARATION of raw food is the most important part of
the culinary art. In the usual cookbook, information on this
subject is restricted almost entirely to the preparation of
salads, and even here many cooked ingredients and irritating condiments often enter the recipes. For those undertaking the
maximum possible use of raw foods, much more knowledge
is required. Salads comprise only a limited part of the total
intake of food in the uncooked dietary. If we are to achieve
maximum benefit from our meals, all other methods of raw food preparation must also be considered. With adequate knowledge covering every phase of this subject, uncooked foods may be prepared easily and quickly. The meals will be
tasty, appetizing, and completely satisfying to the most sensitive palate. B
ASIC METHODS
   The first step in the preparation of raw plant foods is
thorough washing. This does not mean that vegetables should be soaked in water, for soaking causes some nutrients to pass
into the water, which is then discarded. Green leaves should
be washed quickly but thoroughly. Fruits and leaves which
have been sprayed with insecticides require special attention,
and should be given a more prolonged cleaning, even though this will not remove all spray residue. Root vegetables should
be well scrubbed, but the peelings should not be removed
unless they are tough or bitter or too rough to permit
satisfactory cleaning. After cleansing, the methods of raw food preparation may
involve chopping, grating, grinding, pulverizing, mixing,
liquefying, blending, churning, juicing, and freezing. These may be accomplished by hand or by machine methods. This
means that in the kitchen the cookstove will be supplemented
or replaced by appliances designed specifically for the preparation of raw foods. The chopping board, salad bowl,
ice cream freezer, fruit juicer, food grinder, food grater, food
shredder, and chopping knife will be employed as needed. These can be supplemented or largely replaced by the electric
juicer, electric blender, electric shredder, electric mixer, and electric freezer for those who prefer the time-saving and
work-saving efficiency of modern technical appliances. The electric vegetable juicer is one of the most useful
appliances for the kitchen. A number of different types of
such juicers have been manufactured and are readily available
in kitchen-appliance shops. The electric juicer enables you to
make many delicious juices, not only from vegetables, but
also from such fruits as melons, peaches, pears, apples, and
berries. The juices can be made in just a few minutes and
taken in their pure form or mixed in various combinations as
may be considered more palatable. The pulp resulting from the juicing process may be discarded or it may be used in
making additions to salads. Juices are also available on a commercial scale, and some
firms maintain a special delivery service to bring the juices
right to the housekeeper's doorstep. While this represents a
definite convenience to some, and is indeed an absolute
necessity for a few, it does not represent the ideal method of obtaining juices. Much of the flavor and most of the enzymes
in juices are lost within 30 minutes after they are made, and
the very peak of palatability and nutritive value is obtained if
the juices are consumed immediately after being extracted. There is no method of delaying this flavor-destroying oxidation, so we must be prepared to accept some loss in
palatability in all commercial fruit and vegetable juices which
have been prepared long before consumption. Whenever
possible, juices should be extracted immediately to individual order, whether in the sanitarium, the restaurant, or the home. Of all implements for use in preparing raw foods, none is of
more all-around value than the electric blender, or liquefier-blender, as it is also called. This machine consists of a small
electric motor in an enclosed  base and a covered quart
container on the base. Four or more blades in the container make thousands of revolutions per minute and instantly cut
all food into fine pieces, mix it with a liquid base, and blend
all ingredients together into a smooth, delicious preparation. Actually the machine may replace many other common
kitchen implements. It will chop, grate, and grind as well as
mix, liquefy, blend, and churn. With the electric blender you can make the most delicious
salad dressings, sauces, puddings, nut milks, and beverages of
all kinds entirely from raw ingredients. All that is needed in
most cases is a liquid base with such solid ingredients as may
be chosen. Such foods as bananas, avocados, and other soft
fruits will semi-liquefy into a smooth consistency with no other base than the fruit itself. Salad dressin
gs are perfectl y emulsified in the blender, and sauces and puddings may be
made with the same ingredients as the beverages except that
the proportion of liquid in relation to solids is reduced in
quantity. Apples, cranberries, and some other fruits are converted instantly into the most delicious sauces. A
combination of fruit juice and nuts or nut butter is quickly
converted into a rich, smooth cream or milk-like drink. A
mixture of fruit juice and crushed ice is turned into the finest
sherbet or frappe. Vegetables are ground up with a liquid base into a semi-liquid salad. Any food may be converted into a
puree suitable for infant feeding or for anyone who cannot
easily chew solid food due to dental defects. All of these
things, and indeed more, may be accomplished with the
electric blender. For the person preparing raw foods in a varied manner, this machine is truly indispensable in saving
time and work. It may be accepted that practically all methods of food
preparation which involve a significant change in the physical
state of foods may permit oxidation and thus induce loss of
nutritive factors. Such losses, however, are relatively small
and do not render the food unsuitable for moderate use. Fruit
juices and vegetable juices, as well as various foods prepared
in the electric blender, appear in practice to retain their basic
vital effects upon the human system, and some have been
used with very remarkable success on a therapeutic basis. Consequently they are all quite valuable in any diet and may form an integral part of the uncooked regime. It may be
pointed out, however, that they should not be used to the
exclusion of unchanged foods except under special conditions for a limited period of time. The teeth and gums need
exercise from chewing hard, crisp foods, and these should be
included liberally in the normal dietary regime. The
preparation of raw foods, as with the grinder, juicer, blender,
or other appliances, may be considered useful and practical as a means of improving the variety, palatability, and enjoyment
of the diet, but it should be used within normal limitations such as common sense will dictate. H
OW TO SPROUT GRAINS AND LEGUMES
   As sprouted grains and legum es are useful additions to the
uncooked diet, methods for their preparation and use become
important. Mung bean, soy bean, and alfalfa sprouts are
occasionally developed and marketed, but others must at present usually be made in the home. To sprout any seed, it
need only be kept moist and warm. Within a few days the
sprouting process is well developed


urther understood and tested; we may hope to find them in hospitals and sanitariums in t he treatment of disease. In order to
reverse the disease process, we must consider Hering’s law of cure, which states that all diseases are cured from within out,  from
the head down and in reverse order as their symptoms first appeared in the body. This me ans we have to return over the same
‘track” we traveled to get the disease. No disease can exist without toxic material in the body, so the first step toward rem ission is
detoxification. To administer drugs in response to a disease condition brought on by  toxic accumulations can only add to the problem. Although
temporary relief may be obtained, the residual drug settlement will, over the long term, simply increase the toxic burden of the
body. Please remember that this program is designed to be part of a preventive health care system in which the results of bad habits
may begin to be reversed. No good results of lasting quality will be had as long as destructive habits are continued. This pr ogram
is for the person who is wanting and willing to start over a new. Taking up the life -generating practices marks the beginning of a
new day toward the harvest of renewed health and vitality. Throughout this book, we have stressed the importance of cleanline ss
as the vehicle by which health is regained and maintained. The degree to which the colon is inhabited by harmful bacteria,
parasites and other dangerous organisms varies greatly among individuals. What one person is able to hold in the bowel withou t
obvious effects may be hazardous to others. SANITATION & CLEANL INESS IMPORTANT NOTE
Contamination by one individual of another must be avoided. This important point is best accomplished by each person having
their own personal colema board and tip. DO NOT ALLOW ANOTHER PERSON TO USE YOUR BOARD OR TIP UNLESS
THE EQUIPM ENT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY STERILIZED. Microscopic organisms are very easily transferred to the colon by the use of unclean colema rectal tips. Store your rectal ti p in a
bottle of germicidal solution when not in use. Sterilize the interior tube to which the  rectal tube is attached before use to ensure
against infection. We have endeavored to make this system as easy as possible to keep clean by making it simple and
uncomplicated. Thorough cleansing of the board after each use is essential to avoiding complic ations. It is very important that this instruction be adhered to for your health and wellbeing. Do not be lax In this regard. One of the nice
advantages of this system is that colonic debris never flows back through the colema tubing, as occurs in nearly all commercially
available colonic irrigation equipment. In this way, contamination is kept to a safe minimum. It is a good idea to occasional ly
cleanse the hoses of the colema by running a germicidal solution through the bucket and tubing to cleanse the p assageways of any
possible infestations. Also, always keep a protective lid on the colema bucket to avoid settlement of hair, dust, dirt or oth er
contamination into the bucket. Always thoroughly rinse the bucket before and after each use. Another importa nt consideration that you should be aware of is the quality of your water supply. Contaminated water can cause
severe bowel distress. If you are working with well water in your colema, it is a good idea to make certain the water is safe  for
colonic irrigat ion by having it tested at your local health certification agency.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        Bacillus
coli is considered to be the king of the court, providing the most offensive reactions. There are many others. The opportunit y to
have such a guest is faci litated today because of the dietary habits and quality of foods we are using. Flatulence is produced largely
by these organisms. Their chemical reactions are hazardous to the well -being of the body. These substances are very toxic. Very
small amounts of s pecific compounds can produce bizarre reactions in the body. They cause disharmony in the body, chasing away
the life force. They are hazardous to living’ organisms, constantly occupied in breaking down tissue and reorganizing it. The
average bowel provide s an ideal environment in which these organisms flourish. We have unwittingly provided the breeding
ground on a mass scale by the lifestyles we live. Basically, Western man through the use of technology has so adultered his f ood
that it no longer promotes the friendly bacteria, rather it nourishes the destructive bacteria. Bacillus coli prefer an alkaline
environment, with protein for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A dark, warm, moist place rounds out their habitat. Undigested pro tein
reaching the colon is pe rfect food for these bacteria; they thrive on it. We literally feed them and promote their growth this
way. Meat in particular provides this medium. When these conditions are met, and it doesn’t take long, we are opening the doo rs
for guests of this sort. They can invite most chronic diseases man is aware of. They are not good boarders. They are always taking
more than their share and never pay the rent. They are not easily evicted and oftentimes claim the whole house from its landl ord. How can we best avo id these things. Ideally, we should never get into this situation. Bowel hygiene should be taught at an early
age by our parents. It should be common knowledge and our government should be made responsible to see to it that it is part of
our educational sy stem. Those practices and processes that contribute to degeneration should be avoided, and those who promote
such abuses should be re -educated. Until such an ideal is realized, we must deal with the problem the best way we are able
according to our individ ual beliefs and morality. We can begin with a total cleansing of body tissues in as much as the art has
progressed. Releasing the grip of toxic substances in the body is no small task. It takes work and perseverance, a willingnes s to
release the old and em brace the new. Fasting, elimination diets, enemas, colonics, herbs, massage and all the healing arts are in
one way or another trying to do the same thing; release from the body some undesirable substance whether it be a negative
attitude, spastic muscle o r lead accumulation, those things that cause disharmony in the body. Bowel cleansing is an essential element in any lasting healing program. The toxic waste must be removed as quickly as possibl e to
halt the downward spiral of failing health. This is best  done by (1) removing accumulated fecal material from the bowel; (2)
changing the diet from a toxin -producing process to that of an elimination and cleansing diet; (3) fasting; (4) colonic flushing with
enemas or colonic irrigations; and (5) cleansing the mind of old habit patterns. This sounds like a big order to handle, but it
shouldn’t be at all. Going slowly but surely in the right direction is the main successful ingredient. Don’t try to do it all  at once. Too much change too fast causes disorientation, a disease known as future shock. It is best accomplished by surrounding yourself with the right people - people who are knowledgeable about these things and have
your best interest at heart. A disagreeable, uncooperating spouse or parent can be a major roadblock to success. It may require
changes in your life that go very deep. Many people give up rather than change, and ride out the consequences of their decisi on the
rest of their lives. Once the toxic environment in the colon has been purged by cleans ing and elimination; the diet corrected; and all efforts directed
toward balance, the body will begin to respond by deeper cleansing of all tissues. The elimination reactions brought on by
cleansing, proper and vital nourishment and a change in attitude ar e a vital part of the rejuvenation process. As this process
proceeds, the house is being prepared to receive new guests. Slowly, but surely, the bowel flora will change with constant
encouragement. The once alkaline, high protein, putrefactive environment will change over into one of cleanliness and sweetness,
where peace and harmony reign. IN SEARCH OF THE I ACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS
Throughout known history, man has been enjoying the benefits of a particular food renowned for its health qualities. It prov ides, in
part, substance to every good aspect of human health. It gives endurance, vitality, strength, long life and cheerfulness. It responds
wonderfully in the digestive system, promoting every good quality of a healthy bowel. This food is soured milk. B acterial action in
the milk produces a chemical reaction which digests the milk substances, and makes them an ideal food for the human body. The
bacteria that cause this reaction to occur are known as lactobacillus, acidophilus, bulgaricus, brevius and sal iveria. There are
others, but these are the most widely known. These are the friendly bacteria to the human body. They provide many wonderful
qualities for the organism. First of all, where they live abundantly, the other kind do not or cannot. The acidoph ilus gets its name
from the fact that it loves an acid environment. An acid bowel environment is one’s best defense against unfriendly bacteria. When
we provide a favorable environment for the acidophilus, we are at the same time wiping out the breeding


 was the only way I could get
to Barbados, and I arrived just in time to see my mother and say a three-
dimensional “goodbye” to her. In spite of the fact that I had no intentions of going, the deeper self
watched where the great cloud ascended. I placed it in Barbados and this
tabernacle (my body) had to go and make the journey to fulfill the com -
mand, “Wherever the sole of your foot shall tread that have I given unto
you.” Wherever the cloud descends in the desert, there you reassemble
that tabernacle. I sailed from New York at midnight on a ship without taking thought of
submarines or anything else. I had to go. Things happened in a way that I
could not have devised. I warn you, do not treat it lightly. Do not say, “I will experiment and put
myself in Labrador, just to see if it will work.” You will go to your Labrador
and then you will wonder why you ever came to this class. It will work if
you dare assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled as you go to sleep. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenControl your moods as you go to sleep. I cannot find any better way to
describe this technique than to call it a “controlled waking dream.” In a
dream you lose control, but try preceding your sleep with a complete con -
trolled waking dream, entering into it as you do in a dream, for in a
dream you are always very dominant, you always play the part. You are
always an actor in a dream, and never the audience. When you have a
controlled waking dream you are an actor and you enter into the act of
the controlled dream. But do not do it lightly, for you must then reenact it
physically in a three-dimensional world. Now before we go into our moment of silence there is something I must
make very clear, and that is this effort we discussed last night. If there is
one reason in this whole vast world why people fail it is because they are
unaware of a law known to psychologists today as the law of reverse ef -
fort. When you assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled it is with a minimum of
effort. You must control the direction of the movements of your attention. But you must do it with the least effort. If there is effort in the control,
and you are compelling it in a certain way you are not going to get the re -
sults. You will get the opposite results, whatever they might be. That is why we insist on establishing the basis of the Bible as Adam slept. That is the first creative act, and there is no record where he was ever
awakened from this profound sleep. While he sleeps creation stops. You change your future best when you are in control of your thoughts
while in a state akin to sleep, for then effort is reduced to its minimum. Your attention seems to completely relax, and then you must practice
holding your attention within that feeling, without using force, and with -
out using effort. Do not think for a moment that it is will power that does it. When you re -
lease Barabbas and become identified with Jesus, you do not will yourself
to be it, you imagine that you are it. That is all you do. Now as we come to the vital part of the evening, the interval devoted to
prayer, let me again clarify this technique. Know what you want. Then
construct a single event, an event which implies fulfillment of your wish. Restrict the event to a single act. For instance, if I single out as an event, shaking a man's hand, then that
is the only thing I do. I do not shake it, then light a cigarette and do a
thousand other things. I simply imagine that I am actually shaking hands
and keep the act going over and over and over again until the imaginary
act has all the feeling of reality. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenThe event must always imply fulfillment of the wish. Always construct an
event which you believe you would naturally encounter following the ful -
fillment of your desire. You are the judge of what event you really want to
realize. There is another technique I gave you last night. If you cannot concen -
trate on an act, if you cannot snuggle into your chair and believe the chair
is elsewhere, just as though elsewhere were here, then do this: Reduce
the idea, condense it to a single, simple phrase like, “Isn't it wonderful,”
or, “Thank you,” or, “It's done,” or, “It's finished.”
There should not be more than three words. Something that implies the
desire is already realized. “Isn't it wonderful,” or “Thank you,” certainly
imply that. These are not all the phrases you could use. Make up out of
your own vocabulary the phrase which best suits you. But make it very,
very short and always use a phrase that implies fulfillment of the idea. When you have your phrase in mind, lift the cloud. Let the cloud ascend
by simply inducing the state that borders on sleep. Simply begin to imag -
ine and feel you are sleepy, and in this state assume the feeling of the
wish fulfilled. Then repeat the phrase over and over like a lullaby. Whatev -
er the phrase is, let it imply that the assumption is true, that it is con -
crete, that it is already a fact and you know it. Just relax and enter into the feeling of actually being what you want to
be. As you do it you are entering Jericho with your spy who has the power
to give it. You are releasing Barabbas and sentencing Jesus to be crucified
and resurrected. All these stories you are reenacting if now you begin to
let go and enter into the feeling of actually being what you want to be. Now we can go. SILENCE PERIOD. *****
If your hands are dry, and if your mouth is dry at the end of this medita -
tion, that is positive proof that you did succeed in lifting the cloud. What
you were doing when the cloud was lifted is entirely your business. But
you did lift the cloud if your hands are dry. I will give you another phenomena that is very strange and one I cannot
analyze. It happens if you really go into the deep. You will find on waking
that you have the most active pair of kidneys in the world. I have dis -
cussed it with doctors and they cannot explain it. Another thing you may observe in meditation is a lovely liquid blue light. The nearest thing on earth to which I can compare it is burning alcohol. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenYou know when you put alcohol on the plum pudding at Christmas time
and set it aflame, the lovely liquid blue flame that envelops the pudding
until you blow it out. That flame is the nearest thing to the blue light
which comes on the forehead of a man in meditation. Do not be distressed. You will know it when you see it. It is like two
shades of blue, a darker and a lighter blue in constant motion, just like
burning alcohol, which is unlike the constant flame of a gas jet. This flame
is alive, just as spirit would be alive. Another thing that may come to you as it did to me. You will see spots be -
fore your eyes. They are not liver spots as some people will tell you who
know nothing about it. These are little things that float in space like a
mesh, little circles all tied together. They start with a single cell and come
in groups in different geometrical patterns, like worms, like trailers, and
they float all over your face. When you close your eyes you still see them,
proving that they are not from without, they are from within. When you begin to expand in consciousness all these things come. They
may be your blood stream objectified by some strange trick of man that
man does not quite understand. I am not denying that it is your blood
steam made visible, but do not be distressed by thinking it is liver spots
or some other silly thing that people will tell you. If these various phenomena come to you, do not think you are doing
something wrong. It is the normal, natural expansion that comes to all
men who take themselves in tow and try to develop the garden of Geth -
semane. The minute you begin to discipline your mind by observing your thoughts
and watching your thoughts throughout the day, you become the police -
man of your thoughts. Refuse to enter into conversations that are unlove -
ly, refuse to listen attentively to anything that tears you down. Begin to build within your own mind's eye the vision of the perfect virgin
rather than the vision of the foolish virgin. Listen only to the things that
bring joy when you hear them. Do not give a willing ear to that which is
unlovely, which when you heard it you wish you had not. That is listening
and seeing things without oil in your lamp, or joy in your mind. There are two kinds of virgins in the Bible: five foolish and five wise vir -
gins. The minute you become the wise virgin, or try to make an attempt
to do it, you will find all these things happen. You will see these things,
and they interest you so that you have not time to develop the foolish
sight, as many people do. I hope that no one here does. Because no one
should be identified with this great work who can still find great joy in a
discussion of another that is un

This is such a holographic experience—so real in this
moment—that you don't even feel as if you need the car,
because it feels like you have it already. Dr. Vitale's words brilliantly sum up the place you want to get
yourself to when visualizing. When it feels like a jolt as you open
your eyes in the physical world, your visualization became real. But that state, that plane, is the real. It is the field where everything
is created, and the physical is just the result of the real held of all
creation. That's why you won't feel as if you need it anymore, be-
cause you tuned in and felt the real field of creation through your
visualization. In that field, you have everything now. When you
feel that, you will know it. 84 The Secret
JACK CAN FIELD
It's the feeling that really creates the attraction, not just
the picture or the thought. A lot of people think, "If I think
positive thoughts, or if I visualize having what I want, that
will be enough." But if you're doing that and still not feeling
abundant, or feeling loving or joyful, then it doesn't create the
power of the attraction.. BOB DOYLE
You put yourself in the feeling place of really being in that
car. Not "I wish I could get that car," or, "Some day I'll have
that car," because that's a very definite feeling associated with
that. It's not in the now. It's in the future. If you stay in that
feeling, it will always be in the future. MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
Now that feeling and that inner seeing will begin to be an
open doorway through which the power of the Universe will
begin to express. "What this power is I cannot say. All know is
that it exists." JACK CANFIELD

The "hows" are the domain of the Universe. It always knows
the shortest, quickest, fastest, most harmonious way between
you and your dream. DR. JOE VITALE
If you turn it over to the Universe, you will be surprised and
dazzled by what is delivered to you. This is where magic and
miracles happen. The teachers of The Secret are all aware of the elements you bring
into play when you visualize. As you see the picture in your mind
and feel it, you are bringing yourself to a place of believing you
have it now. You are also implementing trust and faith in the Uni-
verse, because you are focusing on the end result and experiencing
the feeling of that, without giving any attention whatsoever to
"how" it will come about. Your picture in your mind is seeing it
as done. Your feelings are seeing it as done. Your mind and your
entire state of being are seeing it as already happened. That is the art
of visualization. DR. JOE VITALE
You want to do this virtually daily, but it should never
be a chore. What's really important to the whole Secret is
feeling good. You want to feel exhilarated by this whole
process. You want to be high, happy, in tune, as much as
possible. 86 The Secret
Here's a tip about visualizing, which Dr. John Demartini shares in
his Breakthrough Experience seminars. John said that if you create
a static picture in your mind it can be difficult to hold that picture,
so create lots of movement in your picture. To illustrate this, imagine your kitchen again, and this time imag-
ine yourself entering that kitchen, walking to the refrigerator and
putting your hand on the door handle, opening the door, looking
inside, and finding a cold bottle of water. Reach in and grab it. You
can feel the coldness on your hand as you grasp the bottle. You
have the bottle of water in one hand, and you use your other hand
to close the refrigerator door. Now that you are visualizing your
kitchen with detail and movement it's easier to see and hold the
picture, isn't it? Everyone has the power to visualize. Let me prove it to you with
a picture of a kitchen. For this to work, first of all you have to get
all thoughts of your kitchen out of your mind. Do not think of your
kitchen. Totally clear your mind of pictures of your kitchen, with
its cupboards, refrigerator, oven, tiles, and color scheme...
You saw a picture of your kitchen in your mind, didn't you? Well,
then you just visualized! "Everyone visualizes whether he knows it or
not. Visualizing is the great secret of success." Powerful Processes 87

The only difference between people who live in this way, who
live in the magic of life, and those who don't is that the people
who live in the magic of life have habituated ways of being. They've made a habit of using the law of attraction, and magic
happens with them wherever they go. Because they remember
to use it. They use it all the time, not just as a one-time event. Here are two true stories that clearly demonstrate the powerful law
of attraction and the immaculate matrix of the Universe in action. The first story is about a woman named Jeannie, who bought a
DVD of The Secret and was watching it at least once a day so that
she would absorb the message right into the cells of her body. She
was particularly impressed with Bob Proctor, and she thought it
would be wonderful to meet him. One morning Jeannie collected her mail, and to her utter amaze-
ment the mailman had accidentally delivered Bob Proctor's mail "We all possess more power and greater
possibilities than we realize, and visualizing is
one of the greatest of these powers." 88 The Secret
to her address. What Jeannie didn't know is that Bob Proctor lived
just four blocks away from her! Not only that, but Jeannie's house
number was the same number as Bob's. She immediately took
the mail to deliver it to the correct address. Can you imagine her
utter delight when the door opened and Bob Proctor was standing
before her? Bob is rarely at home as he travels all over the world
teaching, but the matrix of the Universe knows only perfect timing. From Jeannie's thought of how wonderful it would be to meet Bob
Proctor, the law of attraction moved people, circumstances, and
events throughout the Universe so that it happened. The second story involves a ten-year-old boy named Colin, who
had seen and loved The Secret. Colin's family made a weeklong
visit to Disney World, and on their first day they experienced long
lines at the park. So that night, just before Colin fell asleep, he
thought, "Tomorrow I'd love to go on all the big rides and never
have to wait in line." The next morning, Colin and his family were at the gates of
Epcot Center as the park opened, and a Disney staff member ap
proached and asked them if they would be Epcot's First Family of
the Day. As First Family they would be given VIP status, a special
escort by a staff member, and walk-on passes for every big ride in
Epcot. It was everything and more that Colin had wished for! Hundreds of families were waiting to enter Epcot that morning,
but Colin didn't have the slightest doubt as to why his family had
been chosen First Family. He knew it was because he had used The
Secret. Powerful Processes 89
Imagine discovering—at the age of ten—that the power to move
worlds lies within you! "Nothing can prevent your picture from coming
into concrete form except the same power which
gave it birth—yourself." JAMES RAY
People hold that for a while; and they're really a champion
at it. They say, "I'm fired up. I saw this program and I'm
going to change my life." And yet results aren't showing. Beneath the surface it's just about ready to break through, but
the person will look just at the surface results and say, "This
stuff doesn 't work." And you know what? The Universe says,
"Your wish is my command," and it disappears. When you allow a thought of doubt to enter your mind, the law
of attraction will soon line up one doubtful thought after another. The moment a thought of doubt comes, release it immediately. Send that thought on its way. Replace it with "I know I am receiving
now." And feel it. JOHN ASSARAF
Knowing the law of attraction, I wanted to really put it to
use and to see what would happen. In 1995 I started to create
something called a Vision Board, where I take something that The Secret
I want to achieve, or something that I want to attract, like
a car or a watch or the soul mate of my dreams, and I put a
picture of what I want up on this board. Every day I would
sit in my office and I would look up at this board and I would
start to visualize. I would really get into the state of having
already acquired it. I was getting ready to move. We put all the furniture, all the
boxes, into storage, and I made three different moves over a


 anxious are his people to escape from the white man and his influences, Jack Gouge said,
that an organization of about 1000 Indians has been formed to press the demands. It is known as
the "Four Mothers," apparently representing four of the "civilized tribes"--the Creeks,
Choctaws, Cherokees and Chickasaws.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 66/250    The fifth civilized tribe, the Seminoles of Oklahoma, are negotiating with the Mexican
government for tribal lands in that country. These tribes are described as "civilized" because of the high degree of culture they attained in
their original tribal lands along the eastern coast. As their eastern lands became valuable the
Indians were moved to the area which is now Oklahoma. At the turn of the century, however,
with the discovery of oil there the new tribal lands were broken up. The Indians were forcibly
removed to small tracts despite their desire to remain together. Indian Bureau officials do not
conceal their bitterness over the white man's "treachery." One official pointed out that about 300
treaties have been signed with the Indians and that practically every one has been violated. It will be most fortunate if in the interest of science and human betterment such a program as this
will be carried out in order to permit these Indians to live in accordance with the accumulated
wisdom of their various tribes. Their preservation in isolation would preserve their culture. The
greatest heritage of the white man today is the accumulated wisdom of the human race. REFERENCE

ISOLATED AND MODERNIZED MELANESIANS
SINCE our quest was to gather data that will throw light upon the cause of modern physical
degeneration among human racial stocks in various parts of the world, it became necessary to
include for study various groups living in the hot sultry climates of the tropics. Again it was
desirable to obtain contact with both highly isolated and, therefore, relatively primitive stocks for
comparison with modernized groups of the same stock. In order to accomplish this an expedition
was made in 1934 to eight archipelagos of the Southern Pacific to study groups of Melanesians
and Polynesians. The Melanesians described here were living in New Caledonia and the Fiji
Islands. If the causative factors for the physical degeneration of mankind are practically the same
everywhere, it should be possible to find a common cause operating, regardless of climate, race,
or environment. Owing to the vast extent of the Pacific waters and the limited number of transportation lines, it
became very difficult to arrange a convenient itinerary. This, however, was finally accomplished
satisfactorily by going southward through the more easterly archipelagos; namely, the Marquesas
Islands, Society Islands and Cook Islands, then westward to the Tongan Islands in the southern
central Pacific near New Zealand, and then westward to New Caledonia near Australia. From this
group we went northward to the Fiji Islands, also in the western Pacific, then to the Samoan
Islands in the central Pacific south of the equator, and then to the Hawaiian Islands north of the
equator. These island groups were all populated by different racial stocks speaking different
languages. The movements from archipelago to archipelago were made on the larger ships, and
between the islands of the group in small crafts, except in the Hawaiian Islands where an aeroplane
was used. The program in each group consisted in making contact with local guides and interpreters. They
had generally been arranged for in advance by correspondence with government officials. By these7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 67/250means we were able to reach isolated groups in locations quite distant from contact with trade or
merchant ships. To reach these isolated groups often required going over rough and difficult trails
since most of the islands being of volcanic formation are mountainous. On reaching the isolated groups our greetings and the purpose of the mission were conveyed by
our interpreters to the chiefs. Much time was often lost in going through necessary ceremonials and
feasting. In every instance we received a very cordial reception and excellent cooperation. In no
instance was there antagonism. Through the underground telegraph they always seemed to know
we were coming and had prepared for us. When these formalities were once over and our wishes
made known, the chiefs instructed the members of their tribes to carry out our program for making
examinations, recording personal data, making photographs, and collecting samples of foods for
chemical analysis. The food samples were either dried or preserved in formalin. The detailed records for every individual included data on the tribe, village and family, his age,
previous residence, physical development, the kinds of foods eaten, the physical condition of every
tooth, including presence or absence of cavities; the shape of the dental arches; the shape and
development of the face; and detailed notes on divergencies from racial type. Special physical
characteristics were photographed. A comparsion was made of these factors for each of the more
isolated members of the same tribe and those in the vicinity of the port or landing place of the
island. Through the government officials detailed information was secured, usually in the form of the
annual government statistical reports, showing the kind and quantity of the various ingredients and7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 68/250articles that were imported, and similarly those that were exported. Contact was made in each
island group with the health officers, and the studies were usually made with their assistance. In
many instances the only contact with civilization had consisted of the call of a small trading ship
once or twice a year to gather up the copra or dried coconut, sea shells and such other products
as the natives had accumulated for exchange. Payment for these products was usually made in
trade goods and not in money. The following articles consisted nearly always of 90 per cent of the
total value: white flour and sugar. Ten per cent consisted of wearing apparel or material for that
apparel. While the missionaries have encouraged the people to adopt habits of modern civilization, in the
isolated districts the tribes were not able to depart much from their native foods because of the
infrequency of the call of the trader ship. Effort had been made in almost all of the islands to induce
the natives to cover their bodies, especially when in sight of strangers. In several islands regulatory
measures had been adopted requiring the covering of the body. This regulation had greatly
reduced the primitive practice of coating the surface of the body with coconut oil, which had the
effect of absorbing the ultra-violet rays thus preventing injury from the tropical sun. This coating of
oil enabled them to shed the rain which was frequently torrential though of short duration. The
irradiation of the coconut oil was considered by the natives to provide, in addition, an important
source of nutrition. Their newly acquired wet garments became a serious menace to the comfort
and health of the wearers. The early navigators who visited these South Sea Islands reported the people as being
exceedingly strong, vigorously built, beautiful in body and kindly disposed. There were formerly
dense populations on most of the inhabitable islands. In contrast with this, one now finds that on
many of the islands the death rate has come to so far exceed the birth rate that the very existence
of these racial groups is often seriously threatened. The Island of New Caledonia is one of the largest of the Pacific. It is situated in the vicinity of
23 degrees south latitude and 165 degrees east longitude. The New Caledonians are pure
Melanesian stock. They are broad shouldererd, very muscular and in the past have been very
warlike. These Islands are under French control. The foreign population is chiefly French, and
limited mainly to the vicinity of the one port of Noumea. The subjugation of these people has been
very difficult and as recently as 1917 a band from the interior in protest against efforts to establish
a white colony and sugar plantation on a desirable section of coastal land swept down on the
French colony in the night and massacred almost the entire population. Their contact with the
required foods from the sea had been cut off. They believe they require sea foods to maintain life
and physical efficiency. The physical development of the primitive people including their teeth and
dental arches is of very high order. A comparison of the individuals living near the ports with those
living in the isolated inland locations shows marked increase in the incidence of dental caries. For
those living almost exclusively on the native foods the incidence of dental caries was only 0.14 per
cent; while for those using trade foods the incidence of dental caries was 26 per cent. The splendid
facial and dental arch development of these quite primitive Caledonians is shown in Fig. 28. Note
also their kinky hair and strong neck and face muscles.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

system were made synchronously with careful records of chang
ing tempera ture, humidity, barometric pressure, sun spots and
Cosmic rays. For we thought that a comparison of these simul
taneous records would enable us to determine whether any
correlates between any of these variables existed. With the aid of a grant from the National Institute of Health,
a more elaborate experiment was devised to examine possible
interrelationships with the electrical environment, to be con
tinued over as long a period of time as possible. The experiment
included four reasonably simultaneous records of changing volt
age gradients in an Elm tree, a Maple tree, in the atmosphere
adjacent, and in the earth. Since we had many years of records of pure voltage differences
in trees, there was available a valuable baseline of information
about the changing electrical properties of a living system during
the passage of time. As a result, we knew what to expect as a
result of changing seasons, lunar cycles and diurnal rhythms. The two new records of variations in air and earth voltages could
add to this information about the trees, and could offer clues as
to the possible impact of the electrical environm ent on living
processes. The instrumentation included four high input-impedance
amplifiers, two pairs of silver-silver chloride electrodes-a pair
for each of two elms-an atmospheric voltage probe supplied by
101 ANTENNAE TO THE UNIVERS E
Meteorol ogic Research of Pasadena, California-feeding into one
of the amplifiers (checked by their own meter)-and a pair of
monel metal rods, three feet apart on a north-south axis and
leading into one of the amplifiers. The output from all four amplifiers was fed into a four
channel Leeds & Northrop recording meter. The latter prints a
dot, indicating a voltage magnitude, at appropriate intervals,
often enough to exhibit an almost continuous line. Needless to
say, such an interrupted record is not adequate for true simul
taneity of the four records, but for this study the rough approxi
mation proved sufficient. From the beginning an extraordinary correspondence in the
four records appeared. The two trees, the air and the earth ex
hibited variations at approximatel y the same time. The magni
tudes differed, but all fottr showed increases in the positivity of
the 'hot' electrode at the same time. The apparent simultaneity of two tree potentials, earth
potentials and air potentials raises an interesting question. The
short-time relationships between the onset of these changes in
all four of these records could be exceedi ngly important. None of
the equipment we had with us, however, made it possible for
us to investigate this particular aspect of the problem. Conceivably, the changes in the electrical environm ent might
precede the changes in the electrical properties in the living
systems. This would give added weight to the evidence that there
is a significant relationship between endogenous electric charac
teristics of the two trees and the corresponding changes in the
electrical aspect of the environment. These short-time measurements were, of course, stimulating
and interesting, but the really important question raised by this
whole study is: What happens in time, preferably long periods
of time? A mathema tical analysis of the diurnal rhythms made it clear
that we were not dealing with random numbers but with real
changes in the electric properties of a segment of the earth and
of the two living systems. It seemed reasonably safe, therefore, to
assume that both air and earth potentials were equally free from
random measurements. 102 ANTENNAE TO THE UNI VERSE
The fact that all four sets of measurements exhibited changes at
the same time made it quite clear that a long-time study was
j llstified. Since preliminary studies of this sort were begun in
1938, and reasonably continuous measurements made from 1943
on, quite a span of time was available for analysis. In the early
days, mathematical theory was inadequate to study the changing
relationships with time; and the modern mathematical analytical
instruments were not available. The very considerable amount of
data collected over the years represents a source of numbers
which could be analysed very profitably. 5
Inspection of the potentials recorded on the long paper records
made it clear that no one of these four sets of measurements was
independent of tl1e other three. A change in one was accompanied
by a change in aU the others. This was an extraordinary finding. Every attempt was made to
cover the possible artifacts which might have produced these
results, but rigorous controls ruled out the possibility that the
results were accidental. It must be admitted that it was exciting
to see that the well-known diurnal rhythms of a biological system
of two trees also were paralleled by diurnal rhythms in atmos
pheric potential and earth potential. To be sure, we do not know
whether one or the other of these measurements precedes any of
the others, but the fact that the changes occur in all of them is of
prime importance. Since Nature is the experime nter, changing the variables in
hoth the Jiving system and in its environment, long-term studies
should help us to understand to what extent there is an interrela
tionship between the electrical properties in the environment and
those of a living system. That they exist in day and night
rhythms, is clear. But it is also equally clear that there is a
repetitive cycle which has a period roughly approximating that
of the lunar cycle. This does not mean that the moon affects the living systems,
as the old wives' tale held, but rather that both the moon and
103 ANTENNAE TO THE UNI VERSE
Jiving systems respond to some more primary characteristics of
the Cosmos. It is not surprising, therefore, that we detected in
our records the same twenty-seven-day-cycle of earth and air, as
well as trees. Since these studies ran through many years, seasonal changes
-which we know exist in trees, for example-were also to be
seen in the winter and summer records of voltage gradients in
earth and air. These seasonal changes were so obvious that the
striking correlations between the living system and its environ
ment gave credence to the notion that the living system is im
bedded through its own electro-dynamic field in the field of its
physical environm ent. But since the field of the environment is involved in such
things as lunar cycles, it is important to remember that the
electrical properties of the ionosphere are changed by sun spot
activity, as Stetson showed many years ago. The electrical charac
teristics of the ionosphere could, then, be correlated with lunar
cycles and diurnal rhythms. A preliminary analysis, therefore, was made of the changing
potentials of the trees and sun spot activity as recorded in Zurich,
Switzerland. Here, again the correlation between the two sets of
measurements was extraordinary. A great deal of further study will be required to determine
whether or not the changing sun spot activity preceded the
change in the electrical properties of trees. The graphs drawn
from these available numbers show a rather extraordinary paral
lelism with the changing electric potentials of the tree. By implication, this could indicate that not only a tree--a
perfectly good living system-but in all probability aU living
systems, might show the 9ame dependency since they all possess
electro-dynamic �elds. There is a hint, furthermor e-although this is by no means
valid and final evidence-that the changing potentials of the
tree follow, by a predictable amount of time, the changing rela
tive sun spot numbers. As the sun spot numbers increase, voltage
gradients in the trees increase. When the relative sun spot num
bers decrease, there is a corresponding decrease in the voltage
gradients in the trees. 104 ANTENNAE TO THE UNIVE RSE
Since the plots are derived from numbers scattered over an
eleven-year cycle, and since there is good evidence to show that
these electro-metric numbers in living systems are not random
numbers but are valid evidences of changing electrical properties
of a living system, it would seem possible to conclude with reason
able assurance that there is a close relationship between the
electrical environment of the tree and the activities recorded
electrically in the trees themselves. These changes could not
possibly be the result of accidental correspondences. The num
bers recorded are too great over too long a period of time to be
chance observations. It will be remembered that the primary assumption made at the
outset of this study was that the electrical properties of a living
system were evidence of an inherent electro-dynamic field. Since
it is common knowledge that one field cannot exist within an
other field without an interaction between them, and the field
properties of the ionosphere are modified by the bursts of sun
spot activity, the effect on the electrical characteristics of the
ciwironment of the earth are really no more than might be
expected. It would seem reasonable to conclude, therefore, that a study
of longer duration with more sources of information might make
it abundantly clear that the field properties, not only of living
systems but of the Universe, interact in characteristic fashions
and produce results of great significance. 6

(and seasoning of one's preference if desired), blended, strained to remove the

(cooked and commercially produced)
The cancer patient w ill want to give up cooked and commercially produced meat
such as beef, pork, lamb and fowl immediately (except for raw liver — see above). Cooked meat is harmful for the cancer patient, as the very same enzymes used in its
digestion are needed for fighting and digesting the cancer. All natural, self-made
enzymes your body can produce should be used to fight the cancer. Commercial
meat should be avoided for another reason; it has a high female sex hormone
content. For commercial reasons most animals, especially beef and fowl produced in
the United States have been fed large quantities of hormones. Since an
overabundance of female sex hormones initiate cancer, meat of this type should be
excluded from the cancer patient's diet. After being on Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Diet for 9 to 12 months, when
the tumors are under control, one may gradually resume consumption of meat as long
as one's metabolic type requires it. Adequate enzymes and hydrochloric acid are
taken to digest the meat. (see Dr. Kelley's Self Test for the Different Metabolic Types

be extremely wise to make every effort to find a source that can provide meat, which
has been produced without chemical feed, hormones, antibiotics, and pesticide
residues. P ro te in  A fte r  6 M o n th s  O n  C a n c e r D ie t
After the first six months on Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Diet the cancer
patient must increase the quantity of protein in his diet. At this time not less than sixty
grams of protein daily should be included in the diet. You should, of course, continue
all the above approved protein, but now you may include (or increase) such proteins
as those found in deep sea fish, all forms of seeds, nuts (except peanuts), nut butters,
whole grains, whole grain breads, and homemade, raw (unpasturized) goats' milk
yogurt and/or buttermilk. Seeds and Sprouts
Raw seeds and sprouts are good foods for cancer patients, and may be eaten after
1:00 p.m. We freely use brown sesame, sunflower and pumpkinseeds. Many people
enjoy sprouted seeds, such as alfalfa and mung beans, buckwheat, wheat and
soybeans. The most "living foods" are sprouted seeds. When seeds are soaked in water, their
protective enzyme inhibitors are removed and the enzymes, which have been
"asleep," become active, and in three days the nutritional values of the seeds are
increased tremendously. The seeds also become much easier to digest. For the best in
nutrition, be sure to eat your sprouts raw. Eat as many as you desire. Beans
Dry beans of all types are a good source of food for the cancer patient, and may be
used two or three times a week at anytime of the day. The best way we've found to
prepare them is to cook them at a temperature of 200° F. We place two cups of dried
beans (washed) in a bean pot to which we add five cups of RO filtered or distilled
water, five garlic cloves, two tablespoons of olive oil, 1  teaspoon of sea salt or kelp,
and 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. We place the pot, (covered), in an oven
overnight at 200° F. 66

the cleansers of the body. The cancer patient may eat as much as desired of fresh raw
fruit or fresh fruit juices. Small amounts of dried unsulfered fruit may also be taken. At least one quart of carrot and one pint of celery juice should be taken each day. As
much other fresh raw vegetable juice in volume may be taken as desired. One should
consider alfalfa, beet, cabbage, cucumber, dandelion, endive, lettuce, parsley, potato,
spinach, and turnip juice. Vegetable juices are the builders of the body. Juice is better

The cancer patient may eat, in addition to his fresh raw vegetable and fruit juices,
all the fresh fruit and fresh raw salad he or she can hold. These are good for lunch or
dinner meals. The body needs bulk, as it is necessary to keep the digestive tract in
good working order. For at least the first eight months on Metabolic Medicine's
Cancer Cure Diet, lemon should be used in preference to vinegar on salads. Unrefined, organic flaxseed oil may be used as salad dressing. Dr. N. W. Walker's
books, Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices  and Diet and Salad Suggestions,  are
recommended reading for every cancer patient. Ph a s e  III

Trace minerals are absolutely essential for enzyme function. No matter how
skilled we are in the production of mineral supplements, minerals from foods are
better utilized and balanced in unprocessed whole foods. Dr. Kelley daily uses a

. 326 HEALING AND RECOVERY
Allow yourself several minutes to relax your head;
Then say, "Level 3." Now relax your neck. Relax all the
tension in your neck and upper shoulders. Then say to
yourself, "Level 4;' and move and relax your back and
chest muscles. As you say "Level 5," just continue to
progressively relax, starting with the biggest muscles
and then moving to the smallest-the shoulders, the
upper arms, the lower arms, the hands, and then the
fmgers. Say "Level 6" and allow your chest and torso to
relax. With "Level 7," move into the lower abdomen,
relaxing all the tensions you have been holding there. Say"Level 8," move into the hips and buttocks area, and
allow the deep relaxation.At "Level 9," allow that relax
ation to flow down your legs. Now say "Level 10" and
allow your feet to relax. Next say "I am at level 10." Using that letting go of resistance, allow yourself to let
go ofall resistance to this profound state of relaxation. Surprisingly, it will be discovered that no matter
how seemingly complete the state of relaxation seems
to be, there is yet another, even deeper level. By going
through progressively deeper levels, it is discovered
that one has never really, really been totally relaxed in
their entire lifetime while awake. In this profound state of relaxation, now tell your
self the things you want to know and then let go of
resisting them. Let go of resisting the thought that pain
is one thing and suffering is something else.There is no
such thing as suffering in pain when that pain is not
resisted. In that profoundly relaxed state now, go back
to the previous information to deal with chronic pain. Notice that the pain is everywhere, and notice that you
can let go of your resistance to that pain.You can open 327 PAIN AND SUFFERING
the door and let it happen without its affecting that
which you really are. In it, you can begin to move your
self up to a lovingness for yourself and a compassion
for your intrinsic beauty as a human being. At an ener~ field of about 500 to 540, the loving
ness comes forth.We know that it has happened when
we become lighthearted about the situation and can
laugh at ourself. There is the energy field of humor,
which is higher. The fact that humor heals has been
reported in books by celebrities who have healed a
physical illness through the constant use of laughter. The choosing of laughter and humor and putting our
self in a loving, laughing energy field that is over 500
tends to bring healing out of its own nature. There is
the capacity to laugh at the misfortune, which means
that the experience is one thing, and that which we are
in truth is something else. We are not the experience
nor at the effect of it.We are no longer the victim and
have stopped struggling with it and resisting it.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        They see the world as one of sin
and suffering, which indicates what kind of God in
that context would rule over a world of endless
suffering and sin. The consequences of sin in the
collective consciousness field would be that God is
our ultimate destroyer. He punishes with earth
quakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, pestilence, and
more. God has created the world of sin and suffering
in which we are destroyed, and our soul is thrown
into hell forever. That is the worst possible scenario. As one's consciousness rises to the energy field of
Apathy at 50, which is the level of hopelessness and
loss of energy, the world and life in it are seen as rela
tively hopeless. As a result, there are some famous
philosophers who said that man is nothing, God is
dead, and this is a hopeless world. The view of God
from that level is that God is dead, or at least cruelly
indifferent to suffering. Ifwe raise our level of consciousness and advance
our awareness, we then move up to the level of Grief,
which offers a negative view of the world and our
selves. The emotions are regret, loss, feelings of
despondency, and being dispirited. A person holding
the energy field of Grief sees this as a sad world as
they walk down the street. When this person looks at
older people, they see how sad it is that they are old. When they look at children, they think how sad is
what these poor, innocent children are going to have
to experience in life. When they open the newspaper,
they see the sadness of all that goes on in the world. 290 HEALING AND RECOVERY
The kind of God that would fit that sadness would be
a God who ignores them. Out of this, the person is
worthless, so they say, "I am just a worm, and God
couldn't possibly have any interest in me. IfHe exists
at all, He would just be a God who ignores me. " What about the fearful person who holds the
energy field of Fear. We see that they are the creator
of that, the owner, and the source. The emotions of
worry, anxiety, panic, and the deflation of self-esteem
lead them to see this as a frightening world. As they
walk down the street, they see danger everywhere. They open the newspaper with alarm and read about
bankruptcy and murder. They walk down the street
and see automobile accidents and the potential for
starvation. The God ofa frightening field of conscious. ness would be a very punitive one who really sort of
hates them and throws them into the world of an end
less nightmare. The creator of such a nightmare is a
very punitive God of revenge and retaliation and
becomes the punisher. As we move up into Desire at 125, the area of the
solar plexus, there are craving, wantingness, and what
makes Sammy run, and there is no satisfying it. No
matter what the person gets, it is not enough. The mil
lionaire has fifty million dollars and is going for sixty
million. He has sixty and is going for seventy. He never
gets to the end of the road for there is no end. When
he is old, his fmgernails are long, he lives on a yacht,
he is paranoid and thinks the world is against him,
and he does not understand why he cannot fmd hap
piness. But happiness is at level 500, not at 125. The person is trapped by wanting and craving WORRY, FEAR, AND ANXIETY 291
more and more and therefore sees the world as frus
trating. If one is always wanting, then the world is
always holding back from that person. As one looks at
the jewelry-store display cases, that cravingness
comes out-one wants, wants, wants those jewels. They want the wantingness. If they get the jewels,
they will feel a satisfaction but not happiness. There is
a temporary satisfaction, but what kind of God would
hold back from a person what they desire. Then the
person feels separated from God, if there is a God at
all. There is the person, and then there is God, but the
two of them have no relationship. The exasperation of this frustrating world of
desire leads to anger, resentment, hatred, grievance;
war, and murder. There is the overexpansion of the
angry person, which shows in the protrusion of the
blood vessels, and the angry animal within flares up
with anger. The angry person sees this as a competi
tive world. When somebody opens up another used
car lot next to him, he is angry and thinks the person
is going to take his business away. He has not moved
up to a world of cooperation which knows that the
more there are used-car lots nearby, the greater the
business because they draw people from everywhere. But he would not even think of cooperating; instead,
he thinks of competition and becomes polarized. It is
he against them. Therefore, he sees a competitive
world and a retaliatory God who, out of angriness, is
very punishing, retaliatory, and seeks revenge. "I am a
jealous, vengeful God who will get you. I'm out to get
you," so God is his enemy, out to get him. How can he
relax and reach any kind of awareness in that kind of 292 HEALING AND RECOVERY
angry energy field. From Anger, we move up to pridefulness. Pride at
level 175 carries with it the downside of denial, arro
gance, and contempt. The process in consciousness is
one of being inflated. This person lives in a world of
status. When he walks down the same city street, he
sees not only your Cadillac, but also the year and
model. I did not even realize they came in models. I
thought a Caddy was a Caddy. No sir, I have discovered
that there are different models of Cadillac- I forget
their names, but whatever they are, one has more
status than the other-so
