 our hearts can do that,
and when it does, we return to our castles. There we are crowned in
gold, and we remember how to laugh, how to love, how to rule. We can’t look to the world to restore our worth; we’re here to
restore our worth to the world. The world outside us can reect ourglory, but it cannot create it. It cannot crown us. Only God can
crown us, and he already has. I once saw a funny birthd ay card. On the front it read Happy
birthday to my daughter, the princess. On the inside, it continued,
From your mother, the queen. What is a princess, and what is a queen? Why is princess  often a
pejorative description of a certain type of woman, and the word
queen  hardly  ever applied to women at all? A princess is a girl who
knows that she will get there, who is on her way perhaps but is not
there yet. She has power but she does not yet wield it responsibly. She is indulgent and frivolous. She cries but not yet noble tears. She
stomps her feet and does not know how to contain her pain or use it
creatively. A queen is wise. She has earned her serenity, not having had it
bestowed on her but having  passed her tests. She has suered and
grown more beautiful becaus e of it. She has proven she can hold her
kingdom together. She has become its vision. She cares deeply about
something bigger than herself. She rules with authentic power. Our kingdom is our life, and our life is our kingdom. We are all
meant to rule from a glorious place. When God is on the throne,
then so are we. When God is in exile, our lands are at war and our
kingdoms are in chaos. To be a princess is to play at life. To be a queen is to be a serious
player. Audrey Hepburn was a queen, Barbara Jordan is a queen,
Gloria Steinern is a queen, Judy Collins is a queen. Most of us are a
little of both. The purpose of life as a woman is to ascend to the
throne and rule with heart. The growth of a girl into a woman, a princess into a queen, is not
a liberal transition. Like any true creative ow, it is radical. That is
not to say it is angry or harsh. But it is radical, the way truth is
radical—and birth and art and real love and death. It changes
things. It represents a shift in core beliefs, a belly-up of dominant
paradigms. Without this shift, a woman seesaws between  the brink
of disaster and the brink of salvation. She goes from moments ofbliss to moments of terror. And then the children, and the world,
begin to seesaw with her. When a woman has owned her passionate nature, allowin g love to
ood her heart, her thoughts grow wild and erce and beautiful. Her juices ow. Her heart expands. She has thrown o crutch and
compromise. She has glimpse d the enchanted kingdom, the vast and
magical realm s of the Goddess within her. Here, all things are
transformed. And there is a purpose to this: that the world might be
mothered back to a great and glorious state. When a woman
conceives her true self, a miracle occurs and life around her begins
again. Mary’s was a virgin birth, and the word virgin  means  “a woman
unto herself.” The actualized  woman is powerful unto herself and
gives birth to things divine. Today we have the chance to give birth
to a healed and transformed world. This cannot be done without a
major uprising of the glorious in women, because nothing can be
healed without the female powers that nurture and protect, intuit
and endure. What does this mean for the individual woman living
day to day in a world that resists her expansion and makes her
wrong for her passions? It means nding others who have seen the
same light. They are everywh ere, and like us they await instruction. They are men and women, young and old, who have heard the joke
but take it too seriously to laugh. It is funny but also tragic, this
cutting o at the pass of the life-force of half of humanity. Something new is brewing, and let’s be grateful that it is. The Queen
is coming to reclaim her girls. When the Queen emerges, she is magical and enchanting. She is
calm and happy. She creates  order where there was none. She has
grown new eyes. When a woma n rises up in glory, her energy is magnetic  and her
sense of possibility contagio us. We have all seen glorious women,
full of integrity and joy, aware of it, proud of it, overowing with
love. They shine. I have known this state in other women and, at
moments, in myself. But it could be a stronger statement, a more
collective beat. We don’t have to do anything to be glorious; to be
so is our nature. If we have read, studied, and loved; if we havethought as deeply as we could and felt as deeply as we could; if our
bodies are instruments of love given and received—then we are the
greatest blessing in the world. Nothing needs to be added to that to
establish our worth. Just stand there. Sit there. Smile. Bless. What a hunge r is left
unfullled in our society for no reason other than that women have
been so devalued by others and so dishonored by ourselves. Every woman I know wants to be a glorious queen, but that option
was hardly on the multiple-choice questionnaire we were handed
when we were little girls. Rarely did anyone tell us we could choose
to be magic. When I was a child, there was a woman who lived across the
street named Betty Lynn. She was sort of a cross between Auntie
Mame and Jayne Manseld. I thought she was the most beautiful,
most fascinating, most wond erful woman in the world. Betty Lynn
was wild and gorgeous and drove a Cadillac. I thought it was beige,
but she called it the color of champagne. She wanted a thatched
roof on her guest house. She obviously had sex with her husband. She always told me I was wonderful. Years later, I remembered the scotch and water that was usually
in her hand, and many things began to make sense that hadn’t made
sense when I was young. But at the time, she was a model of sorts, a
glamorous woman who made me see magic when all I found on my
side of the street was a lid placed on my emotions and disapproval
of my more outrageous passions. Why, in the thirty-odd years since I knew this woman, have I
never forgotte n her? What did she represent that struck me as so
real, so passionate, so enchanted? Whatever it was, the alcoho l helped her let it out, but then the
alcohol enslave d her, and then it killed her. That’s clear. But why do
people who have the most ardor, the most enchantment, the most
power so often feel the need for drugs and alcohol? They do not
drink just to dull their pain; they drink to dull their ecstasy. Betty
Lynn lived in a world that doesn’t know from ecstatic women, or
want to know, or even allow them to exist. In former times, shewould have had her own temple, and people from all around would
have gathered  to sit at her feet and hear her pronounce them
marvelous. She would have mixed herbs and oils. But an
unenlightened world began to burn these women, and the world
burns them still. Betty Lynn crucied herself before anyone else had
a chanc e to. Many of us are a little like her, choosing to implode
rather than take on society’s punishment. Those of us who don’t
must bear society’s wrath. But we live through it, bruised and
battered thoug h we might be. And more and more of us are now
living to tell the tale, surviving the re, surviving sober, and,
hopefully, altered in such a way that our daughters will have an
easier time. We have a job to do, reclaiming our glory. It’s work, and it will not
please everyone. We will be called grandiose. We will be accused of
being in dangerous denial, of our faults, our neuroses, our
weaknesses. But it’s an ancient trick this, telling a woman that her
glory is her sickness. You bet we’re in denial. We deny the power of
weakness to hold us back, be it the weakness of the world or the
weakness in our own past. We are on to better things, such as
owning our beauty and honoring the courage it has taken us to get
here and claiming our natur al power to heal and be healed. We’re
not grandiose,  but we’re tired—tired of pretending we are guilty
when we know we’re innocent, that we’re plain when we know
we’re beautiful, and that we’re weak when we know we’re strong. For far too long, we have forgotten we are cosmic royals. Our
mothers forgot, their mothers


 of creativity, intuition, and innovation, and it is only accessible when we let go of our ego and allow it to take over.
Q: How do we overcome fear and anxiety?,
A: By recognizing that fear is a product of the ego and surrendering to the will of the Supreme, allowing the subconscious to guide our actions and decisions.
Q: What is the primary purpose of life, according to the text?,
A: Growth, self-discovery, and the development of our true potential, as opposed to seeking material wealth and success.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Y ou may have wadded up other pieces of paper and tossed
them at the wastebasket without a single further hit, and probably you
shrugged your shoulders and wrote of f the first hit to luck. W ell, it wasn’ t
luck at all. It was simply that you performed the action without the
interference of conscious mind. In ef fect, you allowed the paper to propel
itself at the wastebasket, with yourself as only a medium of impulsion. This
kind of psychic unification of the basket and the paper and the propelling
energy allowed all elements in the action to become “one piece,” and
anything occurring within that unity had to have perfect symmetry and be
absolutely ef fective. Becoming One with Our T asks

Now if there is one mind common to all things and exclusive to none, it
follows that we basically are all part of a single or ganism, and our
effectiveness within that or ganism depends upon our recognition of this
fact. As long as we view ourselves as separate selves, we are moved by the
delusion of egoistic desire and thus led into opposition to the will of the
Secret Self. Any action that is conceived in the ego and entered into for
egoistic purposes, if not doomed to failure from the outset, can result in
only mediocre success. Its entire purpose and impulsion arise from a limited
knowledge, set against the ocean of knowledge that is universal mind. W e
learn to do things well by becoming one with them, by so engrossing
ourselves in our tasks that we pick up a sense of unity with them. This sense
of oneness is impossible to the egoistic nature for the simple reason that the
ego itself is a sense of separateness. When we become completely absorbed
in things, we have a true spiritual experience, for by this psychological
transference of self, we plunge deeply into universal mind and become the
work that we are doing. Everyone who has great skill or talent goes daily to
this fount of for getfulness, plunges in and is renewed, and the temple of
their religious worship is their own talent. Henry David Thoreau wrote, “If
one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to
live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with unexpected success
in common hours.”

Thrusting against Pain

All barriers to accomplishment are in the mind. Education itself teaches
limitation, and history establishes a definitive level that suppresses human
aspiration. For years four minutes was thought to be the fastest time that
anyone ever would run the mile, then along came a group of Australianmilers with a new philosophy. They broke down the mental barriers, and
now any number of people have run the mile faster than four minutes. This new philosophy might as easily be applied to any area of human
activity. It is built around the premise of thrusting against pain, on the idea
that pain represents a limitation in the mind. Those who train under this
system drive themselves to run farther than they think they can, asserting
the principle of mind over matter to do away with fatigue. Such a
philosophy releases a human being from all barriers. Nothing is impossible
to us as long as our guiding principle is to surmount each obstacle we
encounter. Directional drive is the most important single factor in achievement. Outstanding boxers are often culled from the social groups that have to
fight hardest to survive. Heads of corporations and government executives
are often born in the most humble circumstances, and their climb to the top
is allied directly to their dedication. Heaven attends those who throw their
hearts into their work. In this absorption they lose their egoistic sense of
self and become clear channels for the ener gy and creativeness of universal
mind. Constant Aspiration

The usefulness of goals depends on their ability to remove limitation from
our thinking. W e can exceed ourselves by aiming higher than we have ever
aimed before. It is not the goal that is important; it is the aiming higher. When a goal is reached, it actually becomes a limitation unless replaced by
a higher goal. Those who achieve something and spend any time patting
themselves on the back are nullifying their growth, for when self-
complacency enters the nature, ego grows and the individual stagnates. If
we don’ t try to exceed ourselves, we disintegrate. If we do not try to be
better, it is impossible for us even to stay as good as we are. The dynamicforces of life are growth and decay, and nothing is static; things move in
one direction or the other. A few years ago, a young man emer ged from an automobile accident
paralyzed from the neck down, except for the rudimentary use of the
forefinger of his right hand. As he lay abed and pondered his situation he
resolved to develop some skill with that right forefinger. He had a
typewriter rigged on his bed, with his right arm slung before it so he could
peck at the keys with his forefinger. His initial ef forts were excruciatingly
slow and required great concentration and resolve. He labored for hours to
type a single sentence. As the weeks turned into months he was able to type
a page, then two, finally a dozen or more. After a year he not only was
typing proficiently but was actually sitting up in bed to do it. T oday, he gets
about with crutches and has embarked upon a program of total
rehabilitation. He seems well on the road to recovery. Such tenacity and
purpose might be expected to belong to a very grim person, but this young
man has deep humility and a wry sense of humor. When asked how he has
been able to accomplish such miraculous results, he stated, “I was given
this body, and I banged it up. The least I can do is put it back in the
condition I found it.”
Humans have searched out the trackless wastes of the poles, journeyed to
the depths of the seas, flung themselves miles into the air, and even
journeyed amongst the stars. Who can say that anything is impossible to the
human mind and ef fort? There exists within us a power to imagine a better
world than the one in which we live, and we never cease attempting to find
it. Our imagination should be treated with precious care, for it is the tool of
our liberation from the bonds that hold us. W e can be anything we are
capable of visualizing, do anything we are able to imagine, for the images
that form in our minds inevitably lead us into the work that ef fects their
realization. Inner Acceptance
 Skills ar e developed by faith that one possesses the skill alr eady. This a
priori inner attainment of the skill allows us to act as if it wer e impossible
for us to fail. W e still will go thr ough a period of ineptness, but such
ineptness will not stay with us. W e will surmount all — all fear, all
ineffectuality — for we ar e sustained in all cir cumstances by an inner vision
that we alr eady have accepted as r eality. If we aspir e to an ability, we
become accomplished only after inner acceptance. No one can ever be any
better or gr eater than their mental visualization. If we accept ourselves as
exactly what we alr eady ar e, it becomes impossible for us to impr ove. T o
become better we must think we ar e better, not in the egoistic sense of
thinking that something is our due, but in the wider spiritual sense of
realizing that all things derive fr om the image within. Such psychic
positioning of the ego r eleases it fr om bondage to itself and allows it to
accept on faith the fact of its wider being and effectiveness. Skillfulness is primarily a matter of becoming an instrument for the action
of a greater mind and will. Any egocentric ef fort to dominate the world or
to originate action from the standpoint of the surface mind immediately
raises the problem of the ego controlling itself. Any system of self-control,
inasmuch as it approaches perfect self-control, also approaches perfect self-
frustration, for control implies keeping something from doing what it
normally is disposed to do. The idea of acting in accord with our nature
meets with objections on every hand. T aking the restraints of f human nature
supposedly would be like letting loose a swarm of locusts. Religious and
social groups have adopted the idea that humanity is more a work of the
devil than of God, that our bestial nature must be held in restraint by laws
and inhibitions. Thus duality is forced upon us, the necessity of presenting
one face to the world while living in solitude with another, and it is
responsible for more mental and physical ailments than all the microbes
ever discovered. Be Y ourself
 We present one face to the world and behold another in the privacy of our
rooms,

ared	rabid	and	we	would	see	if	any	cases	of	rabies	would	develop. Not	one

case	of	rabies	appeared	and	we	have	never	had	any	since. When	the	animals

were	held	simply	to	show	whether	they	had	rabies,	none	of	them	died	and	the

entire	scare	subsided	after	two	years	of	fanatical	unrest	and	excitement	which

ought	to	have	developed	lyssophobia,	or	imaginary	hydrophobia." Dr.	J.	W.	Hodge	reported	that	of	56,000	stray	dogs	and	cats	collected	in	one	year,

not	one	case	of	rabies	was	found. He	further	states	that	there	is	no	rabies	in

England	nor	is	the	Pasteur	treatment	permitted	to	be	used. Dr.	Hodge	has	in	his

possession	the	names	and	addresses	of	more	than	2500	persons	reported	as

having	died	of	"hydrophobia"	shortly	after	having	received	the	Pasteur

preventive	treatment. This	would	seem	to	prove	that	the	cure	is	more	deadly	than

the	disease	when	one	considers	that	nearly	300	of	these	"victims"	of	the	Pasteur

treatment	had	no	recollection	of	ever	having	been	bitten	by	a	dog. Dr. Hedge

predicted	that	"future	generations	will	look	upon	the	present	day	delusion	about

hydrophobia	and	the	Pasteur	treatment	with	feelings	akin	to	those	which	we

experience	when	reading	the	history	of	witchcraft	delusion." Dr.	Dulles,	previously	referred	to,	has	said,	"I	might	cite	my	own	experience	in

the	treatment	of	persons	bitten	by	dogs	supposed	to	be	mad,	which	has	furnished

not	a	single	case	of	the	developed	disease	in	thirty	years. And	I	have	probably

seen	more	cases	of	so-called	hydrophobia	than	any	other	medical	man." Dr.Dulles	was	lecturer	on	the	History	of	Medicine	at	the	University	of

Pennsylvania,	Consulting	Surgeon	to	Rush	Hospital	and	Manager	of	University

Hospital. Dr.	William	Brady,	nationwide	columnist,	has	stated	that,	"The	Pasteur	treatment

for	rabies	is	a	blind	treatment	and	no	one	knows	whether	Pasteur	treatment

confers	any	protection	against	rabies. I’d	never	willingly	receive	Pasteur

treatment	or	give	it	to	any	one	under	any	conceivable	circumstances,	because	I

fear	the	material	so	injected	has	a	disastrous	effect	in	some	instances. It	is	not

always	successful	and,	occasionally,	paralysis	follows	its	use." It	Is	Dr.	Brady’s

opinion	that	rabies	"does	not	occur	in	man." "We,	of	the	medical	profession,	have	witnessed	many	errors	perpetrated	by	good

intentioned,	but	misguided	individuals	and	methods. The	digitalis

standardization	by	the	dog’s	heart,	it	will	be	recalled,	resulted	in	a	300%

variance	from	standard." In	a	hook	entitled,	"Bechamp	or	Pasteur,"	by	E.	D.	Hume,	there	may	be	found

much	proof	pertinent	to	our	discussion. A	notable	failure	of	the	Pasteur	treatment

was	that	of	a	young	postman,	named	Pierre	Roscol,	who,	with	another	man,	was

attacked	by	a	dog	supposed	to	be	mad,	but	was	not	bitten,	for	the	dog’s	teeth	did

not	penetrate	his	clothing;	but	his	companion	received	severe	bites. The	latter

refused	to	go	to	the	Pasteur	Institute	and	remained	in	perfect	health;	but	the

unfortunate	Roscal	was	forced	by	the	postal	authorities	to	undergo	the	treatment,

beginning	March	9th. On	the	following	April	12th	severe	symptoms	set	in	with

pain	at	the	point	of	inoculation,	not	at	the	place	of	the	bite,	for	he	had	never	been

bitten. On	April	14th	he	died	of	paralytic	"hydrophobia"	the	new	disease	brought

into	the	world	by	Pasteur. Another	incident	extracted	from	the	same	book	shows	the	power	of	suggestion

or	fear	in	the	causation	of	so-called	rabies. It	is	hard	to	credit,	but	the	case	is

recorded	as	follows. "Two	young	Frenchmen	were	bitten	by	the	same	dog	at	Havre. One	died	from

the	effects	within	a	month,	but,	before	this,	his	friend	had	sailed	for	America,

where	he	lived	for	fifteen	years	in	ignorance	of	the	end	of	his	former	companion. Returning	to	France,	he	heard	of	the	tragedy	and,	actually	himself,	developed

symptoms,	and	within	three	weeks	was	dead	of	"hydrophobia." Another	interesting	recorded	case	is	that	of	a	lady,	who	returning	from	bathing,

stated	that	she	had	been	bitten	by	a	dog. "The	anxious	parents	rushed	her	for

Pasteur	treatments,	she	became	violently	ill,	death	followed. On	the	way	home

from	the	funeral	the	girl	companions	who	were	bathing	with	her	told	the	parents

of	the	dead	girl	that	she	was	not	bitten	by	a	dog	but	by	her	young	man	friend." There	are	over	3,000	deaths	on	record	in	reports	from	the	Pasteur	Institute,	of

persons	bitten	by	dogs. All	died	after	treatments. On	the	other	hand,	the	record

of	the	London	Hospital,	a	few	years	ago,	showed	2,668	persons	bitten	by	angry

dogs:	not	one	of	them	developed	hydrophobia	and	not	one	had	been	treated	by

the	Pasteur	method. "Who	was	this	man	Pasteur? What	did	he	actually	discover? The	answer	to	the

first	is	that	he	was	a	chemist	of	sorts. The	second	question	can	be	answered	only

with	the	reminder	that	he	separated	L	&	D	tartic	acids. That	is	absolutely	all	he

did. The	rest	of	his	work—yea—even	the	silkworm	disease	and	bacterial	work

was	plagiarized	from	that,	not	too	well-known	and	much	neglected	professor	of

Montpellier,	Antoine	Bechamp. Professor	Bechamp’s	writings,	when	properly

studied,	will	be	found	to	have	afforded	the	solution	to	many	of	the	problems

which	had	puzzled	biologists,	physiologists,	pathologists	and	philosophers	for

many	years." —flume. Speaking	of	Professor	Bechamp’s	works,	Dr.	Leverson	of	England	says,	"I	also

found	in	those	truths	absolute	proof	of	the	absurdity	of	the	germ	theory	of

disease;	and,	by	the	study	of	the	writings	of	Pasteur,	to	which	Bechamp’s	works

unavoidably	led	me,	I	found	full	proof	that	the	great	god	of	the	(supposedly)

men	of	science	of	the	latter	half	of	the	last	century	and	of	many	of	the	present,

was	in	fact,	the	most	astonishing	of	plagiarists	and	distorter	of	other	men’s

discoveries;	chiefly	those	of	Professor	Antoine	Bechamp,	and	of	his

collaborators	and	pupils;	and	that	this	plagiarist	was	the	most	monumental

charlatan,	whose	existence	is	disclosed	to	us,	in	the	entire	recorded	history	of

medicine." "You	have	already	surmised	who	was	this	plagiarist	and	charlatan. It	was	Louis

(widespread among the Siberian communities of Old Believers) that
originates in the distant past. This procedure does not require any
medical equipment: during the treatment a specialist applies a d osed
pressure with his/her hands to certain zones of the diseased organ at
the required angle. As a result, the functions of the organs are being
recovered and normalized. Dr. Filonov always associates the dry
fasting practice with procedures and massages.  On the very first day
of dry fasting, he treats his patients with the Old Slavic abdomen
massage.

the fast carefully, then you’ll get an effect just like

- If you continue fasting for one day once a

health and rid you of illnesses.
- The fatigue of the internal organs is greatly al-
leviated with one -day fasts. There are many
cases where a mild case of diabetes is cured only
due to the pancreas getting a coup le of days of
rest during the fast.
- One day of fasting makes the organism three
months younger. By the way, short -term fasting,
besides cleansing and substantial improvement
of appearance, has another unexpected effect. It

- The effect of weight loss. If you properly and
competently prepare for 24 -hour fasts and con-
duct them systematically every week, you can
achieve good results in weight loss. American
specialists claim that eve n 1 day of fasting per
month can be very good for your health.

Day 2. On day 2, you can usually experience an
urge to eat, but you have to overcome it. Some-
times you may experience dizziness, headaches,
and discomfort in the stomach area. You
shouldn’t be afraid of these symptoms; they sig-
nify that the process of endogenous reconstruc-
tion and cleansing of the organism has started.
You need to go for walks more often and spend

some relaxing exercises before sleep. You have to
conduct abdominal and spinal massage. From
day 2, anti -infl ammatory and immuno -stimula-
tion mechanisms of dry fasting are activated,
thus, such illnesses as acute respiratory disease
and flu can be fully cured. The weight loss usu-
ally is 1- 1.5 kg.
Without water there is no life. The thing is, in-
flammation also can’ t exist without water. Any
inflamed spot swells with water. Microorgan-
isms, such as microbes and viruses, can only re-
produce in a sufficiently aquatic environment.
Water deficit is destructive for an inflammation
or any kinds of edema. In such rough condit ions,
the organism will not allow the presence of a
pathological fluid (edema) inside of it, all this

iological needs. That’s why dry fasting is effec-
tive during the treatment of these illnesses (ovar-
ian c ysts, endometriosis, spinal disc herniation
and any other illnesses which have this mecha-
nism in their pathogenesis).
Due to the dehydration of the organism, a
fierce competitive battle for water begins be-
tween the cells of the body and the pathogenic
micr oorganisms. The cells of the body, as hosts,
take water away from the microorganisms, but
the organism itself is able to not only synthesize
endogenous water in necessary amounts, but
also take water from the air during this period,
absorbing it through th e skin. This is due to the
fact that during dry fasting the organism acts to
excrete and not to absorb. The healthy, strong
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frcells receive additional energy and water, while
the sick and altered viruses and bacteria can’t do
that. According to modern scient ific research,
the cause of peptic ulcer is infective, this ac-
counts for a very powerful medicinal effect in
case of this pathology. That’s why it’s necessary
to conduct dry fasting outdoors, preferably in a
mountainous area, near mountain rivers and
water falls.
70% of glucocorticoids and sex hormones are
bound by the transport albumins of the blood
and only 30% circulate in the blood in a free
state. During dry fasting, the transport albumins
come apart and their amino acids are used for
the needs of the o rganism, first of all for the
needs of the brain and the cardiovascular sys-
tem. In such a case, there is a release of an
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frenormous amount of hormones, which circulate
in the blood in a free state, this accounts for a
good medicinal effect in the treatment o f
asthma. This extraordinary amount of glucocor-
ticoids, which is three times more usual, flood-
ing the blood, has a strong anti -inflammatory ef-
fect, suppressing all the inflammation sites in the
organism.
After all, we know that glucocorticoids are the
strongest anti -inflammatory agent in the organ-
ism. In the activity of the free glucocorticoid
forms, there is another very powerful medicinal
mechanism that fasting activates to affect in-
flammatory and autoimmune diseases, such as
rheumatoid arthritis and othe rs.

immunity to the majority of the most dangerous
viral diseases.
Scientists from the United Arab Emirates pro-
posed to more actively study the defense mecha-
nisms of one of the hardiest animals — the
camel, in order to combat human diseases. Cam-
els have unique physiological characteristics,
which allow them to exist in the harshest desert
conditions. They cope with dehyd ration, be-
cause their circulatory system can store supplies
of water, the lack of food is supplied with the de-
posits of fatty tissue in the humps, and camel
milk is preserved fresh for much longer than cow
milk.  But that’s not all. Camels’ immune system
is so perfect that they aren’t susceptible to the
majority of viral diseases that other mammals
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frdie from. They, for example, are completely im-
mune to foot -and-mouth disease and rinderpest.
Up until now, people didn’t pay attention to
camels as a source of production of various sub-
stances that could help combat human viral dis-
eases.  Arabic scientists think that in the medi-
cine of tomorrow, the immune mechanisms of
the camel will not only be a matter of thorough
study, but also a means to combat many human
diseases.
During dry fasting the immune system begins
to very effectively conduct a series of complex
chemical reactions, when a foreign body invades
the organism, whether it be a virus or another
infection agent. At that moment the immune
system starts carrying out its mission — find and
destroy. There’s a whole system of amoeba -like

cult name for those unfamiliar with the subject

In every organ there is its own, spec ific only to
it, group of cells that resemble amoebas and mi-
grate over the whole organ, eating and digesting
everything foreign. Such specific cells exist in the

 the rings on a tree, life is about growth, which often requires  change. The 80/10/10 diet may seem like a huge shift in your
lifestyle in the beginning, but as the rewards for taking care of your body  unfold, you will come to see that the benefits of living this
way far outweigh the cost. Developing 80/10/10 as a lifestyle will enhance every moment of your life to come. I applaud y ou for

Appendix A. Sample Menu Plans

This appendix contains four seasonal sample menus for the 80/10/10  lifestyle, broken into one-week sections (seven days of
meals for summer, autumn, winter, and spring). Each two-page spread i ncludes a day’s worth of recipes on the left-hand side and a
corresponding caloronutrient analysis chart on the right.
Each day’s menu plan includes a breakfast, lunch, and three-cours e dinner, hand-selected for seasonal freshness and designed
to total approximately 2,000 calories. You can easily increase or decrease t he quantity of any ingredient, to adjust the recipes in the
direction of your desired caloric intake.
The smoothies, fruit salads, soups, dressings, vegetable salads, and slaws  in this section demonstrate the abundance of whole
fruit and vegetable meals available on the 80/10/10  plan. This guide emphasizes fruits in season, when they are freshes t and least
expensive. The 80/10/10  motto is, “simplicity at mealtime, variety throughout the year.” A s you become accustomed to this lifestyle,
you will discover the joy of eating seasonally and anticipating the ta ste sensations each new bounty of fruits brings. Feel free to
experiment! Use this guide as an inspirational tool to help you discover y our own favorite combinations.
Some recipes contain additional information, indicated by a dagger sym bol (†), to help answer your questions and smooth
your transition to this way of eating. These include helpful tidbits abou t fruit varieties and their availability, ideas for recipe variati ons,
and tips on buying, preparing, and eating the foods.
Don’t worry about your caloronutrient ratio at each meal, or even each da y. The 80/10/10  guideline (at least 80% of calories
from carbohydrates and at most 10% fat and protein) is intended as an aver age—something to strive for over time. Thus, as you
page through the menu plan, you will see higher-fat days and lower- fat days … but by the end of the week, the numbers all come
out to 80/10/10, more or less.
The best way to really understand the caloronutrient ratio and get a tr ue sense of the level of fat in your own diet, is to weigh
your food and enter numbers in an online diet-analysis program for about a we ek. We used Nutridiary.com as a basis for creating
this recipe guide.
Note that no two fruits are nutritionally identical. Each crop of produce ( sometimes even each piece) differs in caloronutrient
ratio from the next, depending on such factors as ripeness, soil quality, sh ipping environment, and time since harvest.
In addition, any attempt to standardize measures like “one apple” or “one h ead of lettuce” (although we do so in the upcoming
ingredient conversion charts) is subjective at best, given the reg ional variability of produce. Thus, the only way to accurately
compare food quantities is to list ingredients by weight, rather than by t he piece. All weights refer to edible portions only,  so be
sure to remove peels, stems, cores, seeds, and pits before you weigh your food.
Remember that each individual’s digestive capacity is differen t, as is their level of exercise. Both of these factors affect our
ability to absorb nutrients efficiently. As you mature in this l ifestyle, your natural digestive “fire” will increase.
For these reasons and others, the numbers in these charts are rough appr oximations at best. Use them to steer your diet in a
low-fat direction, but track your numbers in the aggregate, and don’t g et too hung up on the details.

Seasonal Availability of Produce
The following table offers an overview of domestic availability for comm on fruits and vegetable fruits. It is a broad, general list,
showing the greatest number of months these foods are commonly obtainable  at market nationwide, regardless of variety or where
they are grown.
For example, the papaya, shown to be available all year, includes several v arieties, from Florida, California, Hawaii, Mexico,
and Central America—each of which produces papayas at differe nt times. Modern distribution and storage technologies allow us
access to many of these foods throughout the year (sometimes at great c ost to our pocketbooks, our health, and our natural

In the following table, the dark-gray boxes represent a food’s peak dome stic seasonal distribution. The light-gray boxes
represent the onset and decline of the season. During this time, you may  be able to find these foods domestically grown, but they
tend to come at a higher price and reduced quality. To achieve maximum fre shness, I strongly encourage you to choose locally
grown, organic produce in season whenever possible.

 If Y ou Don’t Own a Scale…
We have listed the ingredients in the menu plan in terms of ounces an d pounds, in order to provide an accurate caloronutrient
breakdown. If you do not have a scale at home, the charts below can help you measu re out the quantities called for. Eventually you
will become proficient in estimating weights and average caloric c ontent of various foods, a skill that will pay dividends in saved
kitchen time.

Summer Menu Plan: Day One

BREAKFAST
Watermelon
4 lbs. watermelon
Directions: Slice melon in half and sit outside and bask in summer’s  glory while you spoon this delightful fruit!

LUNCH
Peachy Keen
1 lb. bananas
1 lb. peaches
Directions: Blend with 16 oz. water. Adjust water for desired consistenc y.

DINNER
Course One: Mango Lime Delight!
1 lb. mangos
Juice of ½ a lime
Directions: Peel and slice mangos into a bowl. Drizzle with lime juic e.
† 300 varieties of mangos are cultivated and studied in Florida alone. The U.S. m arket sees roughly six varieties widely
distributed: Haden, Tommy Atkins, kent, keitt, ataulfo (also called honey, ch ampagne, Manila, Asian, or yellow), and Haitian
mangos.

Course Two: Sweet Tomatoes
8 oz. mango
8 oz. heirloom tomatoes
Directions: Blend ¾ of the mango with ¾ of the tomato. Cut the remaining ma ngo and tomato into small chunks, toss in and
stir.

Course Three: Mango Red-Pepper Salad
1 lb. romaine lettuce
8 oz. each: cucumbers, mangos, and red peppers
4 oz. tomatoes
Directions: Chop the lettuce into a large bowl. Peel the cucumber if you  prefer. Thinly slice the cucumber and slice tomato into
wedges; toss with salad greens. Peel and pit the mango, core the pepper, and ble nd together as a dressing.

Summer Menu Plan: Day Two

BREAKFAST
Watermelon
4 lbs. watermelon
Directions: The other half of the large watermelon awaits you! Spoon t he fruit into a blender for a refreshing morning drink!
Seeds can be avoided, as they will sink to the bottom of the glass.

LUNCH
Just Bananas!
2 lbs. bananas
Directions: Blend into a smoothie with 16 oz. water, or enjoy them as they ar e.
† If you have a hard time eating very many bananas, it is likely they  are not at peak ripeness. The common variety of banana,
the cavendish, is ripe when it is generously speckled with brown spots and s mells sweet. Prior to this state, they contain more starch
and are harder to digest. Proper fruit ripeness is essential to adequate n utrition and assimilation.

DINNER
Course One: Summer Berry Salad
4 oz. blueberries
4 oz. raspberries
8 oz. peaches
Directions: Mix in a bowl and enjoy!

Course Two: Peach Heirloom Tomato Soup
8 oz. peaches

 the usual
deadly triangle and other associated organ weakneses typical of cancer. Marie
began fasting on water with colonics and poultices and bodywork and counselingand supplements. At the end of the water fast, Marie looked much healthier, withclear eyes and clear skin and had a sort of shine about her, but the tumor had onlyreceded enough for the skin to close over it; it was still large, and very hard. Tofully heal, Marie probably needed at least two more water fasts of equal lengthinterspersed with a few months on a raw food diet. But she lacked the personaltoughness to confront another fast in the near future. Nor was she emotionally upto what she regarded as the deprivation of a long-term raw foods healing diet.
So I advised her to seek other treatment. Still unwilling to accept standard
medical management of her case, Marie chose to go to the Philippines to have“psychic surgery.” She was excited and optimistic about this; I was interestedmyself because I was dubious about this magical procedure; if Marie went Iwould have a chance to see the results (if any) on a person I was very familiarwith. Marie had her tickets and was due to leave in days when her lover, againstMarie’s directly-stated wishes, called her parents and informed them of what washappening.
The parents had known nothing of Marie’s cancer and were shocked, upset,
outraged! They had not known Marie was a lesbian, much less that their daughterwas flirting with (from their view) obvious quackery. Their daughter neededimmediate saving and her parents and brother (the one who had abused her) flewto Oregon and surprisingly appeared the next day in a state of violent rage. Theythreatened lawsuits, police, incarceration, they threatened to have their daughtercivilly committed as unable to take care of herself. They thought everything Mariehad done for the last three years was my fault. I was lucky to stay out of jail. Ofcourse, all of this was why Marie had not told them in the first place; she hadwanted to avoid this kind of a scene.
Marie did not have enough personal integrity to withstand the domination of
her immediate family. They put her in a hospital, where Marie had a radical
mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation. Assured that they had done everything
that should have been done, the self-righteous parents went back home. Marienever recovered from chemotherapy and radiation. She died in the hospitalsurrounded by her lesbian friends who took dedicated, ever-so-sympathetic turnsmaintaining an emotional round-the-clock vigil.
Marie’s death was partly my fault. She was an early case of mine. At the time I
did not yet understand the total effect of lack of ethics and irresponsibility onillness. Had Marie really wanted to live in the first place, she would have soughttreatment three years earlier. In our counseling sessions she always evaded thisquestion and I had not been wise enough to pin her down with my knee on herchest and make her answer up. Marie had too many secrets from everybody andwas never fully honest in any of her relationships, including with me. I think sheonly came to Great Oaks at her lover’s insistence and to the day she died wastrying to pretend that nothing was wrong.
All Marie really wanted from her life was to be loved and have a lot of loving
attention. In the end, her dramatic death scene gave her that, which is probablywhy she manifested cancer and kept it and eventually, died from it.
The name for this game is “secondary gain.” A lot of sick people are playing it.
Their illness lets them win their deepest desire; they get love, attention, revenge,sympathy, complete service, pampering, create guilt in others. When sick peoplereceive too much secondary gain they never get well.
One of the hardest things about being a healer is that one accumulates an ever-
enlarging series of dirty, failed cases like this one. It is depressing and makes aperson want to quit doctoring. Whenever I get involved with a case I really wantthem to get better. My life is put entirely out of joint for several months dealingwith a residential faster. My schedule is disrupted; my family life suffers; mypersonal health suffers. No amount of mere money could pay for this. And thensome of these people go and waste all my help to accomplish some discreditablesecret agenda that they have never really admitted to themselves or others.
Constant Complaints
Alice was a middle-aged woman who couldn’t understand why she had
always felt tired, even when she was young. Her life had been this way ever sinceshe could remember. Most puzzling to her was why her life was so Book-Of-Joblike. She did everything the proper way. Doing things correctly was important toher, and fitted her Puritan background. Alice supported all the right causes, didgood works, was active in a Unitarian church and bought all her food at thehealthfood store—and made sure it was organically grown.
But in spite of Alice’s righteous living, her existence was a treadmill of
constant, minor complaints. She was constantly exhausted, so much so she haddifficulty getting up in the morning and feared she might have chronic fatiguesyndrome (whatever that is). Alice suffered bouts of depression over thoughts likethese, and had many acute illnesses like colds that hung on interminably andwould not go away. She had a constant post-nasal drip. Though she enjoyed life,her body was a millstone around her neck.
I’ve had a lot of clients exactly like Alice. Sometimes they complain of
headaches; sometimes constant yeast or bladder infections. Whatever thecomplaints, the symptoms are rarely severe enough to classify themselves assomeone who is seriously ill, but their symptoms rarely go away and they almostnever feel good. Medical doctors rarely find anything wrong with them, thoughthey will frequently prescribe an antibiotic to treat a somewhat constant infection,or an antihistamine for sinus symptoms. Getting a new prescription drug makesthe complaint go away for a short time until their resistance is lowered again andthe very same complaint returns. These people frequently depend on over thecounter pills and are routinely prescribed sleeping remedies and antidepressants.If instead of this route they will but take my medicine they are usually easy to fixand afterwards are amazed that it was all that simple and that so much of their lifehas been less than it could have been.
Alice had been through the medical doctor route. She had become quite
familiar with antibiotics for her colds and flu, and also took synthetic thyroidhormone—the doctor had diagnosed her fatigue as being caused by anunderactive thyroid, which was partly correct—but the thyroid medication didn’tgive her much more energy. Alice had been supporting this medical doctor ingrand style for over thirty years but never obtained the relief she sought.
I put Alice through my usual two hour first-time-visit thorough analysis. For
two weeks before coming to see me she had saved tiny samples of everything sheate, wrapped them in plastic film, carefully labeled, and put them in the freezer.Along with these food samples and a typed list of all these foods, she brought abig box full of her condiments, herb teas, vitamins, spices, prescriptionmedications, over the counter drugs, oils, grains, breads, crackers and smallsamples of her usual fresh vegetables and fruits. Even her water. Her entirekitchen! By biokinesiology we proceeded to test all of her foods for allergicreactions. I also tested the integrity of her organs and glands and in the process,got a detailed medical history and list of her complaints.
Alice had exhausted adrenals, and they probably had been that way for thirty
years. Her pancreas was now too weak to digest the legumes that made up alarge part of her vegetarian diet. She was allergic to wheat, soy, and dairyproducts and had especially been eating dairy in the mistaken notion that it wasnecessary to keep up her protein intake. Really very typical. So many health foodstore shoppers these days mistakenly believe that, because they are vegetarianand do not eat meat, they especially need to boost their protein intake with dairyand soy. Unfortunately, so many North Americans are highly allergic to dairy andunfortunately, soy products are as hard or harder to digest than cooked meats.
Alice was especially shocked to discover that she was allergic to such foods
as cabbage family vegetables, alfalfa sprouts and citrus. Most people don’t thinkthat anyone could be allergic to something as healthy as alfalfa sprouts. Thedoctor was right about one thing; her thyroid was underperforming. He had notnoticed that her heart was weak.
Medical doctors rarely discover an organ weakness until that organ actually
begins to catastrophically fail. A busy honest doctor will usually tell thecomplaining patient there is nothing wrong with them: go home, take two aspirin,accept the fact that your body is not perfect and don’t worry about it. A hungrydoctor will be delighted to perform countless lab tests, seeking any possiblereason for the complaint. This can go on as long as the patient has money or aslong as the insurance company will pay. They rarely find anything “wrong” and thepatient is far better off if the doctor doesn’t discover something “serious” to treatbecause their treatment may carry with it consequences far more severe than thecomplaint. For example, I have seen dozens of people whose lives were virtuallyruined after surgical treatment for chronic back pain.
Biokinesiology is actually a far more sensitive system of analysis than lab tests.
It picks up weaknesses at a very early stage so total organ failure can beprevented. Rarely will any of the organ weaknesses I discover be confirmed by amedical doctor. First I put Alice on a six week cleanse. She did one week


 small c ity in Florida. "My wife is having
a heart attack and is almost unconscious. Please help me quickly," he begged. I got my bathrobe and bedroom slippers on and went with him to the car.
His wife was a rather large woman. There was no way at this time
that any tests could be made, but I quickly examined her hands and feet and found that they were cold, and by this I determined that it was not a heart attack, however, she was having some severe chest pains, the heart had lost its rhythm, and had dropped down into the lower 40's. The nearest hospital was 15 miles away and I was afraid that she would not last to get to the hospital, so I made up an ordinary drink for the purpose of relieving gas on the stomach and told her to sip it slow-ly for 30 minutes. Within 10 minutes the gas began to burp out of her system. In a half hour she had perfect relief, the heart rhythm was back to normal, her feet and hands warmed up, and she felt as if she
had never been sick. I asked them to come to the lab and I tested her to see what caused the attack of acute indigestion. Her calciums were very, very low, which is one of the causes of acute indigestion.
I said to the husband, "You need a test also because there may be a
problem here that involves both of you." She was in her mid-thirties,
and in menopause, and he was 38. His test indicated very low calci-ums also. The reason I thought he would have low calciums was that the wife did the cooking and if she was low in calciums then probably he was too. This is what we can call deduction in mathematics. If you
find one problem in one member of the family, then you should look for it in other members of the family, especially if you find it in the mother and she's the one who does  the cooking. There are exceptions 133 to this rule. Nevertheless, it is ab solutely necessary to go by the num-
bers. 00 not try to draw any conclusions without scientific facts.
After I found him low in calciums I said, "Most people that have
your numbers would have a very difficult time living with a wife be-cause you would be at each other’s' throats every minute," and both of them looked as if lightning had struck them. Then they admitted they were on the verge of a divorce because they couldn't get along with each other. They had three children. I said, "It is very easy to fix this so that you can get along with each other." I had the calciums they needed and gave it to them to take, and in two weeks the nervousness had completely left them and they were deeply in love with each other again. Now whenever either one gets the least bit cross the other runs for the calcium bottle and says, "Here, honey, take your calciums!" I also told the wife what to do so she would not have acute indigestion.
So you can see how important it is for people to have a dietary test
made that will correct the mineral deficiencies in the body.
A young married couple can have the same problems with low
calciums and their life becomes upset and it leads to divorce because the low calciums had so upset the wife's nerves she cannot forgive and forget as quickly as a man, and neither can the man when his calciums are too low. When calciums are normal and all of the numbers sub-stantiate that they are normal, it is very easy to forgive. The lower the
calciums, the more difficult it is to forgive and forget.
During the act of intercourse there is an electrical charge that
passes between the male and female. Many times when the young couples get married, it takes up to five or six months to learn the real art of intercourse to get the maximum amount of ecstasy that is nor-mally due each other. There are conditions wherein the calciums are too low in one or the other and the sex act is a trying experience, and yet the grace of God keeps them from being irritable.
We now come to the problem that the Bible speaks of as fornica-
tion.
Those who engage in sex without marriage have problems. There
is a guilt feeling because they are not married, and they have not had enough practice in the act in order to reach the heavenly harmony that 134 was intended by God for the man and his wife. Sex acts without love
is very bad because it leaves each tom down rather than built up. It
causes the sex organs to refuse to accept enough manganese to keep the prostate in a man from having too many delta cells. It also causes a larger count of delta cells in the vagina area and sometimes the breasts of women, and it upsets the entire nervous system because it tears down the calcium contents of the system rather than build up the re-serve energy, and decreases the reserve energy greatly.
God made men to have one wife, the wife to have one husband,
and any breaking of this law is an attempt to break the biological laws made by the Lord Himself. In reality no one can break these laws, they only break themselves on these laws. Consequently, those wom-en that seIl themselves to prost itution far money, or any other reason,
simply look old at 30. They have burned themselves out for a few un-known reasons, sometimes money. These acts cannot be stopped by legislation. They can only be forced on the black market conditions, and it is up to the ministers to teach the young people the dangers of fornication, and not for the state to try to punish them for their acts.
If more young people were taught how much damage is done by
fornication they would listen and obey the laws because they want to be healthy. I'm not saying that fornication is to be avoided in all cir-cumstances from a biological viewpoint. There are women and men that are said to be over-sexed, and for some reason they do not marry, or their calciums are too low, and consequently they cannot find a partner that suits them enough to be married and live an honorable Christian life. The passion drive is so great in some that it upsets the calcium balance and the more the calci um balance. is upset the weaker
they become, and the weaker they become, the less faith they have, and the less faith they have, the more undesirable they become as a prospective partner. Many women are in an insane asylum because of this very condition of sinning. They do not even understand their problem.
Here again if a pastor knew how to counsel (biological church
problems) such people instead of telling them they are going straight to hell and would teach them to go to someone who can build up their 135 calciums, probably have them take a Dale Carnegie Course to improve
their personality, and to have a class in which the facts of life were
presented to them in a Christian way that many converts could be won to God's Kingdom.
, This does not mean that the pastor or the church is condoning the
illicit use of sex. The Bible says there is none perfect, no not one. It also says that he who does not keep the commandments and teaches man to do so is least in the kingdom of heaven. But he who keeps the commandments and teaches others to keep them is called great in the kingdom of heaven. The church is a hospital for sinners and not a
clubhouse for saints.
Jesus asked the woman when she was accused of adultery as he
wrote in the sand, "Where are thine accusers?" Then said to her, "Go,
and sin no more." Jesus did not condemn this woman, neither do I condemn her, but I put these people on the top of my prayer list. Any-one that would put such a person down, does not deserve to be in the kingdom of heaven. It is our sole dut y as Christians to labor until these
souls are born into the Kingdom. Every soul that is born into the Kingdom is there because of somebody's prayers and never because of somebody's gossip.
Please do not say, or quote me as saying, that I condone fornica-
tion or adultery. I do not condone it. However, it does exist so there must be a way that God has to solve these problems' and I believe that much of it can be solved with God's love, our love and biological means. In another chapter you were informed that women use seven times more calciums every day than a normal man, and for every time that the husband goes home and his wife is in a very bad humor and punishes him by refusing him the love, the bed life that he is entitled
to, that is when he is going to go to someone else and he's going to say, "My wife doesn't understand." (How fortunate he is that his wife doesn't understand or she would throw him over the sandy bank.) Now this does not justify him whatsoever, but it is a pastor's duty to know how to counsel and to take care of his sick sheep. And these people are sick and any shepherd that does not know how to care for his sick sheep is not going to have them very long. 136 The pastors' seminars are to teach the pastor how to feed his sheep
and how to care for his well and sick sheep so that souls can be Won
to Christ, and so that the young saints can grow up to be strong, ma-ture saints of God.   137 CHAPTER 19

 that seem to contain the highest activator X content are Kerrygold from
Ireland and Anchor butter from New Zealand. New Zealand’s climate is nirvana for cows, and
Anchor is my favorite store brand butter if I cannot obtain raw grass-fed butter. Many health food
stores can special order a case of Anchor butter (10 pounds) from their distributor. I recommend the
unsalted varieties of these butters. Besides Anchor butter, you may find some smaller brands of grass-
fed butters that have a nice yellow color available in your area. These are also a tasty option. For
people who are concerned about the fact that the butter is pasteurized, you can convert the butter into
ghee. If you are not pleased with your tooth remineralization, i.e., your teeth do not stop decaying on
these pasteurized butters, then you will need to try a more potent form of activator X.

Fish eggs
can be obtained from preservative-free caviar, Japanese food markets, and seasonally from
good fish merchants. Where I used to live in Santa Cruz, the local fish warehouse would discard the
entire fish carcass of locally caught fish after harvesting the meat. Many of the discarded fish were
filled with eggs.More Fat-Soluble Vitamin Sources: Bone Marrow, Brain, Kidneys, and Glands
This following section is for advanced tooth decay food healing, and is also very useful for
international readers. Adding any one of these foods into your diet, even on occasion, will strengthen
your body’s resilience against cavities. You can stop cavities without the foods in this section or the
seafood section if you are taking cod liver oil, or cod liver oil with butter oil. You are not required to
eat these foods if you do not want to. I also don’t want to downplay the importance of these sacred
foods. Learning to love and eat these foods has changed people’s lives.
Dr. Price wrote about how Canadian Indians achieved excellent health, teeth and bones:
The Indian knows where these special life-giving substances are to be found and
he like the wild carnivorous animal is wise in food selection. He accordingly selects the liver, brain,
kidneys, and glands. Part of every day’s food for the Indians includes eating some of these special
tissues. The parents provide these for the children and teach them their special values.
38
The Canadian Indians, with their active lifestyle and diet of 3000 calories per day, ate an estimated
400 calories of organ meat and glands daily.
39
 For example, it would take about 4 ounces of liver, 4
ounces of kidney, and 4 ounces of intestine together to equal 400 calories. Liver is the most valuable
gland for its nutrients and also the most easily obtained. Liver may accumulate toxins, so it is vitally
important to acquire liver from the highest quality grass-fed or wild caught animals. If you are further
concerned about toxins in your liver, you can soak it in warm water or in milk for a few minutes to a
few hours and then discard the liquid.
Eating many different types of glands regularly is a sure way to build your health. Very expensive
restaurants know the value of organ meats, and have sweetbreads (the thymus gland), and foie gras
(goose or duck liver) regularly on their menu. Including animal glands in your diet will also
contribute to your glandular system’s balance, because your body can use the hormones in the glands
to replenish your own glands. If this all sounds like too much for you, natural hormones can be found
in colostrum as well. Colostrum is best if it is immediately used or frozen after milking.
Bone marrow
 is an important secret to reversing tooth decay. Bone marrow adds a valuable factor
that helps remineralize tooth dentin and adds a measure of safety to a healthy diet. Within the bone
marrow are many important bone-building cells that help rejuvenate the body and promote bone
growth. Bone marrow can be eaten raw or cooked. It can be eaten plain, on toast, or in soups.
Organs and glands provide the missing fat-soluble vitamins and cofactors in our modern diet. In many
countries across the world, people still consume large amounts of organs and glands. In our modern
western culture, this habit has been lost, and as a result our growing boys and girls often develop
poor facial structures, due to incomplete bone growth.
Organ Meat Tip
Don’t forget to eat the brain. For example, in some parts of China children fight over a special treat:who gets to suck the brains out of the chicken’s head.
Organs and Glands Sources:
Farmer’s markets
 – I love supporting small farmers. Request your local farmer to save you the
organs and glands when he butchers his animals.
Health food stores –
Generally in the frozen section you will find beef liver and beef or pork bones.
Many stores have chicken liver for sale, because it tastes good.

The ideal immunity from tooth decay is obtained when we use foods from at least two of the three
special food categories. Butter and organ meats from land animals have been discussed already; now
let’s look to rivers, lakes and the ocean.
Oysters and clams are exceptional foods. They are usually eaten whole, raw and alive and they
include all the primitive organs (fat-soluble vitamins) and are very high in trace minerals. If you can,
do not neglect the organs from wild fish, such as the livers. The meat, eyes, and brains, from fish
heads contain high amounts of vitamins, which promote overall health.
In many parts of the world, the entire shellfish is valued. In the United States, we crack and clean our
crabs and lobsters discarding the most valuable part, the organs and the fat. Yet everywhere else on
the planet, every single drop of substance in the lobster or crab is saved and eaten. The shells are
even boiled into a delicious broth. The innards of crab and lobster, known as mustard and tomalley
respectively, are very rich in bone- building, fat-soluble vitamins. Cray fish, which look like
miniature lobsters, also contain these valuable fat-soluble vitamins and are found in lakes and
streams. In Western countries the danger from pollution of eating shellfish or their organs is very low
due to strict regulations. Shellfish are very sensitive to chemical pollution, and unfortunately we have
lost large harvesting areas of our sea foods due to pollution. For example, the destruction of the Long
Island Sound lobster habitat was caused from runoff from mass malathion agricultural spraying. I
bring this up because when you start to see the value of our animal foods to our health, you also may
experience the need to take action to block our own government and corporations from destroying our
sea food sources. We can also use our intelligence to restore damaged and polluted eco-systems so
that future generations can enjoy the health benefits of fish and shellfish.
Many cultures of the world also know the value of other sea foods, like sea urchin, sea snail, mussels,
and other sea forms. People eating these foods tend to have excellent bone development and excellent
teeth.
Extremely Effective Fermented Skate Liver Oil
The skate is a cousin of the shark and ratfish, and it looks like a small sting ray. Traditionally in the
South Seas, natives would risk their lives to hunt for sharks even though they didn’t need to for food.
They risked their lives for the oil of the shark liver. To extract the oil they would store the shark liver
in the shark’s stomach and let it ferment hanging in the warm air for months.
40
 Today sharks are an
abused species of fish and I would feel concerned about using shark products. Luckily, many unique
nutrients found in shark liver oil such as chondroitin, squalene, and alkoxyglycerols are found in the
skate. Skate liver is also high in fat-soluble vitamins A and D.
Skate Liver Oil Dosage
⅛ - ¼ teaspoon 2 – 3 times per day (¼ - ¾ teaspoons daily)
Skate liver oil can be used in replacement of cod liver oil, or with cod liver oil. Adjust your dosageaccordingly. Skate liver oil is a hidden secret to obtaining a very high concentration of fat-soluble
vitamins, the type of vitamins that make teeth and bones extra hard. I recommend its use along with
cod liver oil. To obtain your skate liver oil go to:

DMSO is reported to target at the subcellular level in nerve endings or neuronal cytoplasm following cerebral ischemia. DMSO is reported to suppress excessive calcium (Ca
2+) influx
into cells (1) and block NMDA ( N-methyl- d-aspartate) and AMPA (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-
5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate) receptor channels (2, 3) following ischemic events that can promote excitotoxic death of neurons. DMSO is reported to block sodium (Na
2+) channel
activation (4), a reaction seen after CNS injury that may activate a biochemical cascade result -
ing in intracytoplasmic potassium efflux (5), cell energy hypometabolism ( ↓ATP), ROS and
hydroxyl radical (OH) production (6), and cell death (7). DMSO has been shown to increase the levels of high-energy phosphates cAMP and creatine phosphate and inhibit tissue factor expression, thrombus formation, and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and migration (not shown), elements known to participate in cerebral ischemia and stroke. See text for details.153 DMSO in Basic Neuroprotection
DMSO can reduce Na+ and K+ currents in cardiac myocytes,129 and as we have seen,
this can also occur in neurons to reduce their excitability and action potentials,51
a process that could quell Na+ channel current into excitable glutamatergic neurons.
A second possibility is the anti-inflammatory modulation that DMSO demonstrates
against proinflammatory trauma-induced cytokines such as  TNF- α,  i nterleukin-6,
and NF-kB, a transcription factor involved in inflammatory responses. Part of the
modulation of toxic cytokines by DMSO is the scavenging of free radicals and anti -
oxidant activity, an effect that can help resolve the development of brain edema after trauma.
47,52,130,131
Stabilization of cellular membranes by DMSO is yet another property that helps
tissue resist the effects of physical and physiological damage that can occur after blunt or ischemic injury to the brain. This cell membrane protection has been shown consistently by DMSO on cells exposed to freezing, radiation, and sonic stress.
59,132,133
Lim and Mullan59 showed that astrocytoma cells subjected to sonic stress from
a sonicator in an in vitro  system was capable of tearing apart the cell membrane by
violent collapse. They found that exposure of 10% DMSO to the astrocytoma cells afforded significant protection and survival rate of these cells when compared to no treatment controls or to glycerol, an agent used in brain edema to control brain swelling.

Another important property that may explain DMSO’s ability to reduce brain
injury and edema is its effect on the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK2/STAT) signaling pathway. JAK2/STAT signaling pathway appears to be one of the main pathways downstream of cytokine receptors and growth factor receptors that functions by transducing signals from cell surface to the nucleus.
55 This activity has been shown to have a protective role in brain trauma.55
Recent studies have revealed that the JAK2/STAT signaling pathway plays a role in the regulation of gene expression during inflammation.
134,135 Immunohistochemical
examination following contusive brain injury in rats showed that JAK2/STAT pathway was mildly activated in both neurons and astrocytes 3  h after injury.
55
Conversely, the inhibition of the JAK2/STAT pathway was associated with the pro -
motion of brain edema, which can increase the severity of neurological deficits.55
When DMSO was given intraperitoneally 20 min prior to pericontusional trauma
to rat cortex, increased levels of the JAK2/STAT pathway were observed together with improved neurological recovery and reduced neurological deficits when com -
pared to animals not given DMSO.
55 It is unclear how DMSO is able to accelerate or
increase the activation of this neuroprotective pathway.
CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW
DMSO has been reported to increase cerebral blood flow in many preparations involving brain trauma, stroke, and SCI,
35,41,61,118,136,137 but the mechanisms DMSO
may tap to increase cerebral perfusion have not been investigated.
VSMCs in brain vessels are known to modulate vessel tone when they receive
signals to vasodilate,35 but the only evidence that DMSO contacts VSMC is in pre -
venting their migration,119 a process known to be associated with vascular damage
and atherogenesis.138154 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
One curious observation that should be mentioned is the fact that injected DMSO,
even at extremely high doses, does not appear to increase cerebral blood flow appre -
ciably in normal dog brain.139 Normal dogs given mega intravenous doses of 2–8 g/kg
of 100% DMSO showed an increase in cerebral blood flow in the cortex and caudate
nucleus but only after 6 g/kg, a dose that produced hemolysis and increased intravas -
cular volume.139 Cerebellar tissue and brain stem blood flow remained unchanged.139
This study indicates that DMSO’s effect in increasing cerebral blood occurs when
a neuropathological state is present, for example, brain trauma or stroke, where doses ranging from 0.5 to 1 g/kg of a 25%–40% DMSO solution are sufficient to signifi -
cantly increase cerebral perfusion.
41,61,137 This outcome implies that DMSO’s ability
to increase cerebral blood flow from an ischemic state may occur by affecting associ -
ated factors: (1) reducing cerebrovascular resistance and blood viscosity, (2) reducing tissue edema and ICP, (3) modulating PG control of vessel tone and/or platelet aggre -
gability, (4) relief of inflammatory, and (5) a combination of these factors.
The physiopathological responses to pressure-induced cerebral ischemia in
canine brain were investigated using DMSO. Brain retraction pressure over the somatosensory cortex was achieved using a De Martel retractor fixed into place by a micromanipulator, and DMSO was administered at 250 mg/kg prior to retraction and every 12 h after retraction for 3 days. DMSO treatment was significantly better than untreated controls with respect to CPP, focal swelling, and tissue necrosis.
140
These gross findings were reinforced by neurobehavioral scoring following brain
retraction, with DMSO treatment showing improved recovery when compared to mannitol, methyl prednisolone, furosemide, and barbiturate treatments.
140 This study
received support by the same group of investigators who used the brain retraction model to induce focal ischemia in animals pretreated with ethanol to simulate a drunken vehicle driver sustaining a head injury.
140 In the untreated animals, ethanol
intoxication led to a large source of hydroxyl-free radicals and neuronal tissue dam-age, an effect that was markedly attenuated by DMSO treatment.

CONCUSSIONS
Concussions are a type of mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) that occurs when the brain is jarred or shaken and are most commonly seen in sports-related brain injury.
Sports-related concussion has been described as an epidemic  by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. Visits to the emergency department for concussions have increased 62% between 2001 and 2009, and it is estimated that up to 250,000 concussions occur each year from high school sports alone.
141 Given the millions of
young persons involved in high school, collegiate, and older professional players par -
ticipating in contact sports that involve repetitive brain trauma, as well as military personnel exposed to repeated brain trauma from combat-related injuries, concus -
sions have become an important public health concern requiring public education and immediate clinical attention to find an effective treatment.
Concussions are the result of biomechanical forces that result in rapid accelera -
tion and decelerations of the brain often involving helmet-to-helmet contact, leading to functional impairments even in the absence of overt structural damage.
142 Football
is not the only sport that produces concussions; every contact sport such as hockey, 155 DMSO in Basic Neuroprotection
soccer, boxing, and rugby also contributes to this epidemic.143 Concussions can also
result from the head striking a hard object, as it often occurs in falls, creating a more
severe acceleration–deceleration of the brain than those seen after football helmet-to-helmet contact ( Figure 8.4).
Concussions have been defined as a temporary impairment of neurological func -
tion that heals by itself over time, and unlike severe, closed head injury, neuroimaging normally shows no gross structural changes to the brain as a result of the trauma.
144
Loss of consciousness is a clinical hallmark of concussion but is not required
to make the diagnosis. Symptoms include confusion, disorientation, unsteadiness, dizziness, headache, and visual disturbances.
145 These postconcussive deficits occur
with minimal detectable anatomic pathology and often
