 cholesterol in som e people's blood. Let us get one thing clear: Excess cholesterol formati on is the re sult of d ehydration. It is the dehydration that causes
many different
diseases and not the level of cholesterol in the circu lating blood. It Is therefore more prudent to attend to our daily
water intake rather than to what foods we eat. With proper enzyme activity, any food can be digested, including its
cholesterol content. Mr. Wahby could reduce his cholesterol levels without too much anxiety about his foo d intake
(see letter on page 90). He lived normally and yet his cho lesterol levels came down dramatically from 279 to 203 in two months without any
food limitations. All he had to do was to drink more water before his meals. If he had taken regular daily walks, this
level would have been further reduced during the two months. In time, it will be further reduced. His te stimonial is
printed by his kind permission. He is so  happy with the simplicity o f the process that he wishes to share his joy with
others. If increased water intake lowers ch olesterol levels, only to rise again, make sure your body is not getting short of
salt. Read the section on salt in chapter 12. You should realize that cholesterol is the basic building block for most
hormones in the human body. Na turally, a basic drive for increased hormone production will also raise the rate of
cholesterol production. Basically, it is assumed that heart disease begins with the deposit of cholesterol plaques in the arteries of the heart. At the final stages, the two may exist at the sam e time. Howev er, in my opinion, it begins when the constriction
producing chemicals from the lungs spill over into the circulation that goes to the heart. As i t is explained in the
chapter on asthma, in dehydration, part of the process of water preservation is the associated secretion of
substances that constrict the bronchioles. At a certain threshold that does not at the time manifest itself in an
asthma attack, the same chemicals, if they spill into the blood circulation that goes through to the lung, will also
constrict the walls of the heart arteries once they reach them. This situation will lead to heart pains, known as
anginal pains. EMBASSY  OF THE ARA B REPUBL IC OF  EGYPT

Dear Dr. Batmanghelidj,
This is to say how grateful I am to you for making me a much less worried man. I have suffered from a high
cholesterol level since 1982. It was 278 when it was first discovered. I was then in Germany and I was p ut on such a
strict diet that I lost 16 pounds in less th an two months and the Cholesterol level went down to only 220. I refused to
accept to lower it further through medication especially since in Egypt the doctors sti ll believe that this level is not
really dangerous by the prevailing standards in our country. Since I entertain and attend business lunches m ore than what wou ld be expected even from a diplomat, because of
the additional burden of dealing with the media, my cholesterol was always going up to around 260 and back to
220s, by putting myself on very strict diet from time to time. Howev er, it must be noted that it was o nly outside my
home that the diet cam e crashing down. Otherwise,! was strict with myself. In fact,  even when I ate outside, I was
careful to choose dishes, wherever available, which were not particularly rich in fat. Last yea r I was shocked to discover that my blood cholesterol level had shot up to 279. I was lucky to have met you
then. When you "prescribed" ample water (two full glasses) be taken before meals instead of medication that I was
just about to submit myself to then, I was very skeptical. All the more so since you did not overemphasize dieting. In
two months, and with very little observance of all the old "rules' which were making my life miserable, my cho lesterol
went down to 203 for the first time in more than nine years! M Y weight too was surprisingly also down by about eight
pounds and has since been under control. In fact, I feel so good that I am sure that the next time I will be going for a
blood test, my cholesterol level will be found to be even lower. So, goodbye to the "normal" Egypt ian standards and
welcome to the American new levels of cho lesterol without the accompanying sense of deprivation! Enjoying eating, moderately of course, as I had not been doing for a long time and free from a worry that wasalways at the back of my mind, I believe I owe you a big THANK Y OU. YOURS SINCEREL Y
MINISTER MOHAM MED W AHBY

These same chemicals can  also set the stage for the deposit of cholesterol in the walls of the arteries. The common
facto r to all of the various co nditions labeled as different diseases of the heart and the lungs is an established
dehydration. Take a look at Mr. Sam Liguori's letter, published by his kind permission. His a nginal pain disappeared
when he started to increase his wat er intake. He also has suffered from hiatus hernia. That, too, has sta rted to dear
up. Give him time, and it will recover completely. Al so take a look at Loretta Johnson's letter. You will see that even
at the young-at-heart age of 90, her anginal pain can be treated with water to the extent that she does not need any
medication for her heart pains. I have many, many letters sim ilar to these. It is not possible to publish them all. I have selected a few o f them to
show you that what I propose is not a theory. It, in fact /works for different people of varying ages. WARD

Dear Dr. Batmanghelidj:
Just a short letter to thank you for informing our listeners about the health benefits o f drinking two quarts of water a
day. Not only did you help our radio audience, but I personally have enjoyed a resurgence of energy after drinking two
quarts of water each day for just over one week. The angina pain I endured for five years has disappeared and my d istress f rom a hiatal hernia has greatly lessened. I feel like a new person. I've been doing talk shows at WARD Ra dio for the past 20 years, and I must say y our interview w ith us is o ne I'll
always remember. Sincerely,

P.O Bo x 1550  Pittston, PA 1 8640 (717) 655-5521Mr. John Fox's case is very unusual in that his severe case  of heart disease was r eversed sufficiently to make life
once again normal for him—with out the bypass surgery that is now in  vogue. Mr. Fox is in his sixth decade of life. He is a retired electronics engineer who has sp ent many highly responsible years with the Navy. Today, he is one of
the 50 living Bates-Trained Natural "Visio n specialists. At so me point in time, he was nearly blind in one eye and
losing vision in the other. He became intrigued with the Bates method of vision training because of his own needs. As a result of his training, he is not going blind anymore and his eyesight is saved—virtually normal now. A few years back, he was con sidered hypertensive. He received medication to reduce his blood pressure. He could
not take the medications; they made him worse. His problems sta rted when he suffered his heart attacks. His le tter
explains what happened to him and how he is better now. Th e highlight of this letter is that after two months of
taking increased water, and a slight adjustment to his diet, in addition to his daily walks, his coronary arteries m ust
have cleared sufficiently for him to feel normal. He now enjoys  normal activity without having to endure any pain,
and all of that with out the use of any medication or suffering by-pass surgery. Imagine that a person with such a severe heart problem as Mr. Fox cou ld in about two months get back to normal
life and not need invasive treatment even though chemical treatments failed! The proposed nature-designed
approach to the problem scientifically and logically seems to depend on physiological reversal of the disease
process. It's an ideal way of offering cures for some degenerative disease conditions. BATES-F OXNatural Vision Training

 in nerVl'S. This position docs not pennit very deep pcn
l'tration. Thl· ancil·nt Chinese used it often on wedding nights, as
i� rninirnized the pain of virgin brides. Deeper penl'tration and greater stirnulation result if the woman
lil·s on her back, spreads her thighs wide and bends her knees, as 0�\. t�. ouic Brirr kma mlrip and Attu ltiple o:�
she would for a gynecolo gical examination (compare Kingfishers
Uniting). A different sensation is achieved if she raises her bent
knees to touch her bosom (as in Wrestling Apes or Mounting Tor
toises), or touches one knee to her bosom while extending one leg
(as in Dragons Twisting). The woman's wrapping her legs around her partner's waist or
hips (compare Silkworms Entangling) permits deeper penetra
tion but limits movement. In this position, novel stimulation can
be created if either or both partners contract their pubococcygeus
muscles. The woman can vary her position further: she can raise her
legs vertically into the air, hold her feet with her hands, or rest
them on her partner's arms (as in Roc Soaring over Dark Sea), or
place one leg on his shoulder and stick the other leg high into the
air (as in Horse Shaking Its Hoof). The Mystic Master's Wild
Horses Leaping, in which the woman puts her feet on the man's
shoulders, is an extremely popular variant in China. The position
tightens even a roomy grotto. When penetration is shallow and if
the angle is right, the sensitive grotto front wall, where the G spot J-. (·t't-orl-. s ll(llll d crs
'.,. -
221 is situated, can be stimulated effectively. When penetration is at
its deepest, the glans of the jade stalk can stimulate the flower
heart and give extraordinary pleasure to the woman. This posi
tion is good for couples aiming at conception. The man must ex
ercise care not to injure his partner in the heat of passion. A man
with a long organ should not try it. Side by Side
The lateral positions are for languid or lazy couples. In one ver
sion, the woman lies half on her side and half on her back, and
draws up the leg on whic h she lies; the man faces her (compar e
Fish Eye-to-Eye). Penetration is shallow, and movement and sen
sations are limited. In another version, the man faces the woman's
back while she bends her legs a little and sticks out her buttocks
(as in Mandarin Ducks Joining). This is doing it in the "spoon"
fashion, or as the French say, a Ia paresseuse, the lazy way. Again,
penetration is not deep, unless the man has a long stalk. This posi
tion is good if the woman is pregnant, or if the couple has chil
dren sleeping in the same room, as it is not too noticeable under a
blanket. Riding
The earliest known depiction of sexual positions, which dates
back to the Stone Age, shows a woman in a riding position, squat
ting atop a supine man. Riding positions make the n1an a captive
lover and give the woman all the frcedon1 of n1oven1cnt. Some
men like this change, while others, especially those sensit ive about
their machismo, do not. The man lies on his back, and the wonun kneels or crouches
astride hin1, facing eitht. ·r his head (as in Fish Linking Scales or
Butterflies Fluttering) or his feet (as in Bunny Licking Its Fur or
Wild Ducks Flying Backward). If the wotnan faces the man's
head, he n1ay plact. · a snull cushion under his sacrun 1 to elevate his
pelvis, and bend his knees slightly to support her buttocks. If the
wonun faces his feet, the partners will experience sensations, but
without crucial cyt.'contact. If nt. ·itht·r partner has any tnisgivings, and if the riding posi
tion docs not bcco n1c a tin:d habit, it can be cxtrcn1ely arousing to
both partn ers. The intense sensations created are due to the fact O��·Hmic Brit rkmamh ip atrd M14ltiple 0�.,·-�-. ',\:_. that the woman's grotto channel is expanded and her cervix low
ered by gravity, and as a result the glans of the jade stalk is pressed
when penetration is deepest. Any movement, internal or exter
nal, will result in the partners' genitals jostling against each other. Deep penetration is possible for even a relatively short stalk. Riding positions demand agility, coordination, and advanced
erotic dynamics from the woman. They are not advised for vir
gins, pregnant women, or women with a shallow moon grotto, or
men with a long jade stalk. Sitting
Sitting positions are somewhat similar to riding ones. They give
both partners some freedom of movement, but because penetra
tion is shallower than in riding positions, sensations are not as
sharp as when the man lies on his back. In sitting positi ons the
man sits on a stiff armless chair or bench and the woman sits
astride him, facing him (as in Cranes Entwining Necks or Hum
ming Ape Embracing the Tree). He spreads her buttocks with his '� '\.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: What is the purpose of the tongue in the "Heavenly Fountain" game?,
A: The purpose is to stimulate the inner lips and bring the woman to a series of "little deaths" or multiple orgasms.
Q: What is the significance of the "Cinnabar Field" in ancient Chinese erotic massage?,
A: It is considered a vulnerable area, and the ancient Chinese believed it was a crucial point for life-force and sexual chi.

	exercise	is	very	helpful	in	releasing	tension	from	the	area	around	your
tummy. When	your	mind	is	stressed,	your	tummy	muscles	get	very	tense. Stress	in	the	mind	almost	always	appears	in	the	tummy. Your	mind	might	tell
you	that	you	are	not	stressed	but	your	body	will	be	honest	with	you. Deliberate	tensing	and	relaxing	of	these	muscles	by	drawing	in	the	tummy
and	gently	pushing	it	out	are	great	for	relaxing	this	area. It	is	of	vital
importance	to	have	a	relaxed	tummy. In	addition,	encourage	the	area	around
your	tummy	to	relax	by	imagining	the	tension	and	stress	dissolving. Part	2:	learning	to	tummy	breathe
Place	one	hand	on	your	chest	and	the	other	hand	on	your	tummy. As	you	breathe,	allow	your	shoulders	fall	to	their	natural	position. Raised
or	tense	shoulders	increase	the	volume	of	your	chest	cavity	and	thevolume	of	air	inhaled. Tension	increases	breathing,	while	relaxation
decreases	it. With	your	hand	on	your	chest,	exert	gentle	guidance	using	your	mind
and	hand	to	reduce	your	chest	movements. At	the	same	time,	coordinate	your	tummy	movements	with	your
breathing. As	you	breathe	in,	gently	push	your	tummy	outwards	at	the	same	time. Breathe	as	if	you	are	breathing	into	your	belly. Do	not	let	your	tummy
get	too	big	as	this	might	cause	dizziness. As	you	breathe	out,	gently	draw	your	tummy	in.Recap
Breathe	in. Gently	push	your	tummy	out. Breathe	out. Gently	pull	your	tummy	in. Note	that	they	move	in	opposite	directions	from	each	other. The	reason	why
the	tummy	moves	outwards	with	an	in-breath	is	because	the	diaphragm
pushes	downward	and	exerts	gentle	force	on	the	abdomen. On	the	other	hand,
the	tummy	moves	inward	during	an	exhalation	because	the	diaphragm	moves
upward	and	takes	pressure	from	the	abdomen. Part	3	NB:	Bringing	reduced	and	diaphragmatic	breathing	together
. W
hen	patients	ask	me	what	is	more	important,	I	say	that	reduced	breathing
is	primary	and	tummy	breathing	is	secondary. At	the	same	time,	the	two	work
together	as	it	is	a	lot	easier	to	reduce	breathing	volume	by	changing	the
breathing	pattern	to	diaphragmatic. To	bring	the	two	together:
Sit	up	straight,	as	described	above. Place	one	hand	on	your	chest	and	one	hand	on	your	tummy. Bring	attention	to	your	breathing. As	you	breathe	in,	gently	guide	your	tummy	out. Use	your	mind	and
awareness	to	keep	your	chest	movements	to	a	minimum. As	you	breathe	out,	gently	pull	your	tummy	in,	again	keeping	your	chest
movements	quiet. As	you	breathe	with	your	tummy,	concentrate	on	making	your	in-breath
smaller. With	each	breath,	take	in	less	air	than	what	you	would	like	to. Make	the
in-breath	smaller	or	shorter. Feel	the	shorter	breath	with	your	hands	or
imagine	your	chest	as	a	large	glass. Only	breathe	in	enough	air	to	fill	the
glass	three	quarters	full. Reduce	your	volume	of	breathing	by	encouraging	your	entire	body	to
relax. As	you	feel	your	body	relaxing,	your	breathing	will	reduce
automatically. Breathe	out	with	a	relaxed	exhalation. While	breathing	out,	allow	the
natural	elasticity	of	your	lungs	and	diaphragm	to	play	their	role	in	the
exhalation. Imagine	a	balloon	deflating	by	its	own	accord. As	your	in-breath	is	smaller	and	your	out-breath	is	relaxed,	visiblemovements	will	slow	down. Aim	to	quieten	your	breathing. A	typical
session	may	involve	reducing	your	breathing	movement	by	30%	to	40%. If	your	stomach	gets	tense,	jerky	or	“hard,”	then	the	degree	of	air
shortage	is	too	great. Instead,	relax	for	a	moment. When	your	tension
dissolves,	return	to	gentle	reduced	breathing. You	must	feel	a	need	for	air	that	is	tolerable. Maintain	this	tolerable	“air
hunger”	for	three	to	five	minutes	at	a	time. I	am	often	asked	whether	a	person	is	doing	the	exercise	properly. The	answer	to	this	is:

“You	are	reducing	your	breathing	when	you	feel
a	distinct	but	non-stressful	need	for	air.”

Sometimes,	to	reinforce	this	point,	I	say:

“
Unless	you	feel	a	tolerable	need	for	air,
you	will	not	make	progress.”

Your	need	for	air	should	be	distinct	but	not	stressful. If	your	need	for	air	is	not
distinct,	then	reduce	your	movements	further. If	your	need	for	air	is	too
stressful,	then	breathe	a	little	more	and	allow	your	body	to	relax. Now	you	have	mastered	relaxing	your	diaphragm	combined	with	a	reduced
need	for	air. Every	breath	that	you	take	throughout	the	day	should	be
diaphragmatic	and	quiet. Remember,	this	is	how	we	breathed	when	we	were
healthy	young	babies. Our	lips	were	together,	and	our	little	tummies	moved	in
and	out	with	each	breath. Healthy	breathing	is	all	about	going	back	to	basics. Anger,	anxiety	and	stress	originate	from	chaotic	and	fast	breathing. In	Japan,
children	are	taught	from	a	young	age	to	diaphragmatically	breathe	and	keep
their	breathing	calm	when	they	get	angry. When	you	are	under	stress,
immediately	pay	attention	to	your	breathing. If	you	keep	your	breathing	level,
calm	and	quiet,	stress	will	not	manifest. Stress	and	anger	require	heavy	and
irregular	breathing. To	observe	this,	watch	your	breathing	the	next	time	youget	stressed	or	are	angry. Recap

Small	breath	in. Relaxed	breath	out. Small	breath	in. Relaxed	breath	out. Small	breath	in. Relaxed	breath	out. A	small	breath	simply	means	taking	a	smaller	or	shorter	breath	than	what	you
would	normally	take. A	relaxed	breath	out	tends	to	be	slow. Don’t	worry	too	much	about	your	rate. Ideally,	it	should	not	increase	but	it
may	when	your	CP	is	less	than	20	seconds. If	your	rate	increases,	calm	and
slow	you’re	breathing. As	your	CP	increases,	your	rate	will	naturally
decrease. Change	your	breathing	from	this:
Noisy,	loud,	big,	erratic,	irregular,	effortful,	tense,	inefficient	breathing. To	this:
Quiet,	silent,	small,	level,	regular,	effortless,	relaxed,	efficient	breathing. A

proteins	of	the
highest	quality	are,	very	simply,	those	that	provide,	upon	digestion,	the	right
kinds	and	amounts	of	amino	acids	needed	to	efficiently	synthesize	our	new
tissue	proteins. This	is	what	that	word	“quality”	really	means:	it	is	the	ability
of	food	proteins	to	provide	the	right	kinds	and	amounts	of	amino	acids	to
make	our	new	proteins. Can	you	guess	what	food	we	might	eat	to	most	efficiently	provide	the
building	blocks	for	our	replacement	proteins. The	answer	is	human	flesh. Its
protein	has	just	the	right	amount	of	the	needed	amino	acids. But	while	our
fellow	men	and	women	are	not	for	dinner,	we	do	get	the	next	“best”	protein
by	eating	other	animals. The	proteins	of	other	animals	are	very	similar	to	our
proteins	because	they	mostly	have	the	right	amounts	of	each	of	the	needed
amino	acids. These	proteins	can	be	used	very	efficiently	and	therefore	are
called	“high	quality. ”	Among	animal	foods,	the	proteins	of	milk	and	eggs
represent	the	best	amino	acid	matches	for	our	proteins,	and	thus	are
considered	the	highest	quality. While	the	“lower	quality”	plant	proteins	may
be	lacking	in	one	or	more	of	the	essential	amino	acids,	as	a	group	they
do
contain	all	of	them. The	concept	of	quality	really	means	the	efficiency	with	which	food
proteins	are	used	to	promote	growth. This	would	be	well	and	good	if	the
greatest	efficiency	equaled	the	greatest	health,	but	it	doesn’t,	and	that’s	why
the	terms	efficiency	and	quality	are	misleading. In	fact,	to	give	you	a	taste	of
what’s	to	come,	there	is	a	mountain	of	compelling	research
showing	that
“low-quality”	plant	protein,	which	allows	for	slow	but	steady	synthesis	of
new	proteins,	is	the	healthiest	type	of	protein. Slow	but	steady	wins	the	race. The	quality	of	protein	found	in	a	specific	food	is	determined	by	seeing	how
fast	animals	would	grow	while	consuming	it. Some	foods,	namely	those	from
animals,	emerge	with	a	very	high	protein	efficiency	ratio	and	value. 1
This	focus	on	efficiency	of	body	growth,	as	if	it	were	good	health,
encourages	the	consumption	of	protein	with	the	highest	“quality. ”	As	any
marketer	will	tell	you,	a	product	that	is	defined	as	being	high	quality	instantly
earns	the	trust	of	consumers. For	well	over	100	years,	we	have	been	captive	to
this	misleading	language	and	have	oftentimes	made	the	unfortunate	leap	to
thinking	that	more	quality	equals	more	health. The	basis	for	this	concept	of	protein	quality	was	not	well	known	among
the	public,	but	its	impact	was—and	still	is—highly	significant. People,	for
example,	who	choose	to	consume	a	plant-based	diet	will	often	ask,	even
today,	“Where	do	I	get	my	protein. ”	as	if	plants	don’t	have	protein. Even	if	it
is	known	that	plants	have	protein,	there	is	still	the	concern	about	its	perceived
poor	quality. This	has	led	people	to	believe	that	they	must	meticulously
combine	proteins	from	different	plant	sources	during	each	meal	so	that	they
can	mutually	compensate	for	each	other’s	amino	acid	deficits. However,	this
is	overstating	the	case. We	now	know	that	through	enormously	complex
metabolic	systems,	the	human	body	can	derive	all	the	essential	amino	acids
from	the	natural	variety	of	plant	proteins	that	we	encounter	every	day. It
doesn’t	require	eating	higher	quantities	of	plant	protein	or	meticulouslyplanning	every	meal. Unfortunately,	the	enduring	concept	of	protein	quality
has	greatly	obscured	this	information. THE	PROTEIN	GAP
The	most	important	issue	in	nutrition	and	agriculture	during	my	early	career
was	figuring	out	ways	to	increase	the	consumption	of	protein,	making	sure	it
was	of	the	highest	possible	quality. My	colleagues	and	I	all	believed	in	this
common	goal. From	my	early	years	on	the	farm	to	my	graduate	education,	I
accepted	this	virtual	reverence	for	protein. As	a	youngster,	I	remember	that
the	most	expensive	part	of	farm	animal	feed	was	the	protein	supplements	that
we	fed	to	our	cows	and	pigs. Then,	at	graduate	school,	I	spent	three	years
(1958-1961)	doing	my	Ph. D. research	trying	to	improve	the	supply	of	high-
quality	protein	by	growing	cows	and	sheep	more	efficiently	so	we	could	eat
more	of	them. 2,	3
I	went	all	the	way	through	my	graduate	studies	with	a	profound	belief	that
promoting	high-quality	protein,	as	in	animal-based	foods,	was	a	very
important	task. My	graduate	research,	although	cited	a	few	times	over	the
next	decade	or	so,	was	only	a	small	part	of	much	larger	efforts	by	other
research	groups	to	address	a	protein	situation	worldwide. During	the	1960s
and	1970s,	I	was	to	hear	over	and	over	again	about	a	so-called	“protein	gap”
in	the	developing	world. 4
The	protein	gap	stipulated	that	world	hunger	and	malnutrition	among
children	in	the	third	world	was	a	result	of	not	having	enough	protein	to
consume,	especially	high-quality	(i. e. animal)	protein. 1,	4,	5
	According	to	this
view,	those	in	the	third	world	were	especially	deficient	in	“high-quality”
protein,	or	animal	protein. Projects	were	springing	up	all	over	the	place	to
address	this	“protein	gap”	problem. A	prominent	MIT	professor	and	his
younger	colleague	concluded	in	1976	that	“an	adequate	supply	of	protein	is	a
central	aspect	of	the	world	food	problem“
5
	and	further	that	“unless…
desirably	[supplemented]	by	modest	amounts	of	milk,	eggs,	meat	or	fish,	the
predominantly	cereal	diets	[of	poor	nations]	are…	deficient	in	protein	for
growing	children	…. ”	To	address	this	dire	problem:
MIT	was	developing	a	protein-rich	food	supplement	called	INCA-
PARINA. Purdue	University	was	breeding	corn	to	contain	more	lysine,	the
“deficient”	amino	acid	in	corn	protein. The	U. S. government	was	subsidizing	the	production	of	dried	milk
powder	to	provide	high-quality	protein	for	the	world’s	poor. Cornell	University	was	providing	a	wealth	of	talent	to	the	Philippines	to
help	develop	both	a	high-protein	rice	variety	and	a	livestock	industry. Auburn	University	and	MIT	were	grinding	up	fish	to	produce	“fishprotein	concentrate”	to	feed	the	world’s	poor. The	United	Nations,	the	U.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

	low	breast	cancer	rates. This	is	a	very	important	discrepancy,	and	is	illustrated	by	the	correlation
between	the	consumption	of	dietary	animal	protein	and	dietary	fat	for	a	group
of	countries	(
Chart	14. 6
). 8,	9,	18,	20–22
	The	most	reliable	comparison	was
published	in	1975
20
;	it	showed	a	highly	convincing	correlation	of	more	than
90%. This	means	that	as	fat	intake	goes	up	in	various	countries,	animal
protein	intake	increases	in	an	almost	perfectly	parallel	manner. Likewise,	in
the	China	Study,	the	intakes	of	fat	and	animal	protein	also	show	a	similar
correlation	of	84%. 8,	21
In	the	Nurses’	Health	Study,	this	is	not	the	case. The	correlation	between
animal	protein	and	total	fat	intakes	is	only	about	16%. 9
	In	the	Women’s
Health	Trial,	also	including	American	women,	it	is	even	worse,	at	−17%

;	as	fat	goes	down,	animal	protein	goes	up. This	practice	is	typical	of
American	women	who	have	been	led	to	believe	that,	by	decreasing	their	fat
intake,	they	are	changing	to	a	healthier	diet. A	nurse	consuming	a	“low-fat”
diet	in	the	Harvard	study,	like	American	women	everywhere,	is	likely	to
continue	eating	large	amounts	of	animal	protein,	as	shown	in	meal	#1	(
Chart
14. 4
). Sadly,	this	evidence	on	the	effects	of	animal-based	food	on	cancer	and
other	diseases	of	affluence	has	been	ignored,	even	maligned,	as	we	continue
to	focus	on	fat	and	other	nutrients	in	isolation. Because	of	this,	the	Nurses’
Health	Study	and	virtually	every	other	human	epidemiological	study
published	to	date	have	been	seriously	shortchanged	in	their	investigations	of
diet	and	disease	associations. Virtually	all	the	subjects	under	study	consume
the	very	diet	that	causes	diseases	of	affluence. If	one	kind	of	animal-based
food	is	substituted	for	another,	then	the	adverse	health	effects	of	both	foods,
when	compared	to	plant-based	food,	are	easily	missed. To	make	matters
worse,	these	studies	often	focus	on	the	consumption	of	just	one	nutrient,	such
as	fat. Because	of	these	very	serious	flaws,	these	studies	have	been	a	virtual
disaster	for	discovering	the	really	significant	effects	of	diet	on	these	diseases. CHART	14. 6:	PERCENT	CORRELATIONS	OF	TOTAL	FAT	AND
ANIMAL	PROTEIN	CONSUMPTION
THE	$100(+)	MILLION	RESULTS
So	now	that	you	know	how	I	interpret	the	Nurses’	Health	Study	and	its	flaws,
we	should	take	a	look	at	its	conclusions. After	more	than	$100	million	and
decades	of	work,	there	is	no	shortage	of	results. So	what	are	they. The	logical
place	to	start	is,	of	course,	the	question	of	whether	fat	intake	really	is	linked	to
breast	cancer. Here	are	some	of	the	findings,	cited	verbatim:
“these	data	provide	evidence	against	both	an	adverse	influence	of	fat
intake	and	a	protective	effect	of	fiber	consumption	by	middle-aged
women	on	breast	cancer	incidence	over	eight	years”
23
Translation:	The
	Nurses’
Health	Study	did	not	detect	a	relationship
between	dietary	fat	and	fiber	and	breast	cancer	risk. “we	found	no	evidence	that	lower	intake	of	total	fat	or	specific	major
types	of	fat	was	associated	with	decreased	risk	of	breast	cancer”
10
Translation:	The	Nurses’	Health	Study	did	not	detect	a	relationship
between	reducing	fat,	whether	it	be	total	fat	or	certain	kinds	of	fat,	and
breast	cancer	risk. “existing	data,	however,	provide	little	support	for	the	hypothesis	that
reduction	in	dietary	fat	composition,	even	to	20%	of	energy	during
adulthood,	will	lead	to	a	substantial	reduction	in	breast	cancer	in	Western
cultures”
24
Translation:	The	Nurses’	Health	Study	did	not	detect	a	breast	cancer
association	with	fat	even	when	women	reduced	their	fat	consumption	all
the	way	down	to	20%	of	calories. “relative	risks	for	…	monounsaturated	and	polyunsaturated	fat	…	were
close	to	unity”
25
Translation:	The
	Nurses’
Health	Study	did	not	detect	a	relationship
between	these	“good”	fats	and	breast	cancer	risk. “we	found	no	significant	associations	between	intake	of	meat	and	dairy
products	and	risk	of	breast	cancer”
26
Translation:	The	Nurses’	Heath	Study	did	not	detect	a	relationship
between	meat	and	dairy	consumption	and	breast	cancer	risk. “our	findings	do	not	support	a	link	between	physical	activity,	in	late
adolescence	or	in	the	recent	past,	and	breast	cancer	risk	among	young
adult	women”
27
Translation:	The	Nurses’	Health	Study	did	not	detect	a	relationship
between	exercise	and	breast	cancer	risk. “these	data	are	suggestive	of	only	a	weak	positive	association	with
substitution	of	saturated	fat	for	carbohydrate	consumption;	none	of	the
other	types	of	fat	examined	was	significantly	associated	with	breast
cancer	risk	relative	to	an	equivalent	reduction	in	carbohydrate
consumption”
28
Translation:	The	Nurses’	Health	Study	detected	little	or	no	effect	on
breast	cancer	when	women	substituted	fat	for	carbohydrates. “selenium	intake	later	in	life	is	not	likely	to	be	an	important	factor	in	the
etiology	of	breast	cancer”
29
Translation:	The	Nurses’	Health	Study	did	not	detect	a	protective	effect
of	selenium	on	breast	cancer	risk. “these	results	suggest	that	fruit	and	vegetable	consumption	during
adulthood	is	not	significantly	associated	with	reduced	breast	cancer
risk”
30
Translation:	The	Nurses’	Health	Study	did	not	detect	a	relationship
between	fruits	and	vegetables	and	breast	cancer	risk. So	there	it	is,	readers. Breast	cancer	risk	does	not	rise	with	increased
intakes	of	fat,	meat,	dairy	or	saturated	fat. Breast	cancer	is	not	prevented
by
increased	intakes	of	fruits	and	vegetables,	or	reduced	by	exercise	(either
during	the	teenage	years	or	during	adulthood),	dietary	fiber,	monounsaturated
fats	or	polyunsaturated	fats. Also,	the	mineral	selenium,	long	considered	to	be
protective	of	certain	cancers,	has	no	effect	on	breast	cancer. In	other	words,
we	might	as	well	conclude	that	diet	is	completely	unrelated	to	breast	cancer. I	can	understand	the	frustration	of	Professor	Meir	Stampfer,	one	of	the
leading	researchers	in	this	group,	when	he	was	quoted	as	saying,	“This	has
been	our	greatest	failure	and	disappointment—that	we	have	not	learned	more
about	what	people	can	do	to	lower	their	risk. ”
6
	He	was	making	his	comment
in	response	to	an	opinion	that	“the	single	biggest	challenge	for	the	future	[is]
sorting	out	the	mess	of	contradictory	findings	and	lack	of	information	onbreast	cancer. ”
6
	I	applaud	Professor	Stampfer	for	his	candor,	but	it’s
unfortunate	that	so	much	money	has	been	spent	to	learn	so	little. Perhaps	the
most	reward

 SALAD  DRESSINGS
   The following recipes for uncooked salad dressings may be
prepared in the electric blender. For recipes containing no oil, simply put all ingredients into the blender, switch on the
motor, and let run until ingredients are perfectly emulsified. For mayonnaise and other oil dressings, mix all ingredients except oil first. Then pour oil into blender very slowly while
mixture is turning. This assures a smooth, fluffy dressing in
which the oil is completely emulsified with other ingredients. Uncooked dressings may be stored under refrigeration in
labeled fruit jars or bottles. Due to the presence of enzymes,
they will not keep as long as ordinary dressings. MAYONNAISE

 cows. The lactobacillus bifidus predominates in the infant colon. It keeps th e chil d
from developing many infant diseases, and makes him also immune to many diseases, as long as he is fed on breast milk, for th en
the colon is normally acid in reaction. But as the child grows older and the change of diet takes place, proteins are increas ed at the
expense of carbohydrates and sugar - milk sugar. As a result, unfriendly bacteria begin to enter the colon, such as the bacillus coli,
the B. Welchii, B. putreficus, streptococci fecalis, etc. Putrefaction and fermentation now are in order. Thus t oxic material - indol,
skatol, phenol, ammonia, phenylsulphate, ptomaine, pyrrhol, cadaverin, isoamylamine, ethylamine, idroxyl -phynel, and other
poisons - swarm in the large intestine. Within the past 50 years methods have been developed for changing the  nature of the germs that live in the intestines. Metchnikoff’s original idea that the bacillus bulgaricus was the normal inhabitant and that its presence was synonymous with long
life has been changed to emphasis on another germ called the B. acidophilus. As already hinted, with the exception of the
lactobacillus acidophilus, all other species of bacillus acidi lactici are not viable; that is, when imbibed, when taken by m outh, they
are digested and destroyed in the stomach and small intestine, and, theref ore, do not reach the colon or, if they do, their number is
negligible. L. Acidophilus is a normal inhabitant of the intestinal tract and under the influence of the ingestion of lactose  or dextrin
can be made to predominate the intestinal flora. The ingest ion of L. Acidophilus milk with or without added lactose brings about
the transformation of the intestinal flora more quickly and is generally conceded to be the most logical and practical method  of
bringing about the preponderace of L. Acidophilus type of  bacteria in the intestines. By administering L. Acidophilus milk
implantation the proliferation of the organisms in the intestinal tract are more rapidly accomplished for then there is direc t
implantation of large numbers of viable organisms. The lactose of milk induces the multiplication of the desired type of bacteria. It is necessary that large quantities of very active cultures should be taken, and special measures must be adopted to supply  to the
B. acidophilus, when in the colon, the carboyhydrates w hich it requires for efficient growth. The growth in the large intestine of
lactobacillus acidophilus depends solely on starch and sugar, but more so on milk sugar. In order to change the intestinal fl ora, it is
best to adopt the following rules. For fift een days, about eight ounces to sixteen ounces of culture of lactobacillus acidophilus, in which three large tablespoonsful o f
lactose is dissolved, should be taken daily thirty minutes before breakfast; and for the same length of time, three large
tablesp oonsful of lactose should be dissolved ‘many kind of fruit juices, milk, soups, broth or water, and taken daily thirty
minutes before supper. After this, four ounces to eight ounces of lactobacillus acidophilus culture, in which three tablespoo nsful of
lactose have been dissolved, should betaken every morning for fifteen more days. The lactose, however, should be taken as before. After this, the quantity of the culture of the lactobacillus acidophilus can be reduced to four ounces every day for fifteen more
days. For the remainder of the time, the ingestion of the culture of the lactobacillus acidophilus, two ounces every day, may  be
sufficient to keep the required amount of lactobacillus acidophilus present in the large intestinal tract. One must remember that the
amount of the daily requirement of lactose, should continue to be about three tablespoonsful, morning and evening, as the dai ly
requirement. As to the length of time that the lactobacillus acidophilus culture (together with the lactose) should be taken in order for one to
gain the desired results depends on the severity of the condition that is being treated. However, a period ranging from four to six
months may be necessary. A period of about three months of rest may be taken and then the procedur e, if necessary, may be
repeated. It is possible that the taking of the lactobacillus acidophilus culture and the rest periods may have to go on for some time. When is the intestinal flora changed. The intestinal flora is changed when the stools are soft, frequent (three times a day), and free
from putrid or rancid odor. Examination by a bacteriologist should give positive 80 and negative 20, which means 80% of the a cid
formers and 20% of other bacteria. In a bad flora, the percentage will be the reverse, 2 0-80. Of course, a change from 20 -80 or
worse to 40 -60 or 50 -50, is a decided improvement, but this should not be considered at all satisfactory. Old troubles may still
continue, perhaps somewhat modified. But when the change reaches 75 -25, marked improvem ent will be evident, and the more
complete the change of flora, the more decided will be the change for the better in the patient’s symptoms. The advantages of regularly using lactobacillus acidophilus together with the lactose mixture are obvious. Throug h not a cure -all,
yet one would be temped to say that it should be used not only when diseases have already made their inroad, but more so as a
preventive of disease. A few more suggestions about the lactobacillus acidophilus therapy The culture, to be eff ective, must
contain at least 200,000,000 lactobacillus acidophilus per cubic centimeter. Although clinicians experience has been that
lactobacillus acidophilus therapy has to be taken in large doses to be effective, there have been cases in which daily do ses even as
small as four ounces has proved satisfactory when it was mixed with a like amount of lactose. In about 75 -80% of non -complicated
constipation, lactobacillus acidophilus therapy has given uniform good results. The lactobacillus acidophilus cultu re should be
used within or before the expiration date marked on the bottle. ”*

INTESTINAL FLORA
Current research into intestinal flora of the human bowel has revealed some new and valuable information for the health -seeking
individual. (See Bibliography f or further reading. ) Dr. Paul Gyorgy of the Institute of Nutrition Academy of Medical Sciences of
the USSR (discoverer of vitamin B -6), has determined that the main component of the normal intestinal flora of man is
lactobacillus bifidus. Bifidus bacterium  readily establishes itself in the colon of newborns when fed mother’s milk. It is bifidus that
is found in the nipple of lactating mothers. Very encouraging research in both the USSR and Germany have demonstrated the rejuvenating qualities of this bacter ia when it is
well established in the colon. The only commercially -available form of lactobacillus bifidus that I am aware of comes under the
brand name of Eugalan Topfer Forte, and can be found in your health food stores. If not locally available, address  your inquiry for

CHAPTER 7
NATURAL METHODS AND TECHNIQUES FOR BOWEL IMPROVEMENT: A WHOLISTIC APPROACH
There are many detoxifying agents which may be useful under various circumstances, but we need to approach detoxification from
a “whole body” perspective. We need to do more than just take care of the bowel or liver. We must have the right chemical
balance for the body. It is not sufficient to use a drug to provide  a chemical stimulus to “drive” the body to work right. Rather, we
must repair, rebuild and regenerate the body as we go along. Proper breathing is important to get oxygen to the organs and ti ssues
of the body. Exercise is good to get the blood and lymph c irculating but too much exercise in a toxic -laden body is only stirring up
muddy waters. Lymph drainage is important. Drainage can be increased through the use of protomorphogens or through the use of
herbal substances such as blue violet tea. Stimulating increased lymph drainage, however, is not sufficient to carry off toxins that
may be pouring into the lymphatic system via a stagnant bowel holding five or six meals before elimination takes place or fro

Our next story is from the 4th chapter of the Gospel of John, and it is one
you have heard time and time again. Jesus comes to the well and there is
a woman called the woman of Samaria, and he said to her, “Give me to
drink.” (John 4:7). “Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a
Jew, asketh drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? For the Jews
have no dealings with the Samaritans.” (John 4:9). More Free Books Law of Attraction Haven“Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and
who it is that saith to thee, Give me a drink; thou wouldest have asked of
him, and he would have given thee living water.” (John 4:10). The woman seeing that he has nothing with which to draw the water, and
knowing the well is deep, says: Art thou greater than our father Jacob,
which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and
his cattle?” (John 4:12). “Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall
thirst again – but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him
shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well
of water springing up into everlasting life.” (John 4:13, 14). Then he tells her all concerning herself and asks her to go and call her
husband. She answered and said, “I have no husband.” (John 4:17). “Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: For thou
hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband.”
(John 4:17, 18). The woman, knowing this to be true, goes into the market place and tells
the other, “I have met the Messiah.”
They ask her, “How do you know you have met the Messiah?”
“Because he told me all things that I have ever done.” she replies. Here is
a focus that takes in the entire past at least, and tells her now concerning
the future. Continuing with the story, the disciples come to Jesus and say, “Master,
eat.” (John 4:31). “But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.” (John
4:32). When they speak of a harvest in four months, Jesus replies, “Say not ye,
there are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto
you, lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already in
harvest.” (John 4:35). He sees things that people wait four months for, or wait four years for; he
sees them as in a dimensionally larger world, existing now, taking place
now. Let us go back to the first part of the story. The woman of Samaria is the
three-dimensional you, and Jesus at the well is the fourth-dimensional
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenyou. The argument starts between what you want to be, and what reason
tells you that you are. The greater you tells you that if you would dare as -
sume you are already what you want to be, you would become it. The lesser you, with its limited focus, tells you, “Why you haven't a buck -
et, you haven't a rope and the well is deep. How could you ever reach the
depth of this state without the means to that end?”
You answer and say, “If you only knew who asks of you to drink you
would ask of him.” If you only knew what in yourself is urging upon the
embodiment of the state you now seek, you would suspend your little
sight and let him do it for you. Then he tells you that you have five husbands, and you deny it. But he
knows far better than you that your five senses impregnate you morning,
noon, and night with their limitations. They tell you what children you will
bear tonight, tomorrow, and the days to come. For your five senses act
like five husbands who constantly impregnate your consciousness, which
is the great womb of God; and morning, noon, and night they suggest to
you, and dictate to you that which you must accept as true. He tells you the one you would like to have for your husband is not your
husband. In other words the sixth has not yet impregnated you. What you
would like to be is denied by these five, and they hold the power, they
dictate what you will accept as true. What you would like to accept has
not yet penetrated your mind and impregnated your mind with its reality. He whom you call husband is really not your husband. You are not bearing
his likeness. To bear his likeness is proof that you are his wife, at least
you have known him intimately. You are not bearing the likeness of the
sixth; you are only bearing the likeness of the five. Then one turns to me and tells me all that I have ever known. I go back
in my mind's eye and reason tells me that all through my life I have al -
ways accepted the limitations of my senses, I have always looked upon
them as fact; and morning, noon, and night I have born witness to this
acceptance. Reason tells me I have only known these five from the time I was born. Now I would like to step outside the limitation of my senses but I have
not yet found within myself the courage to assume I am what these five
would deny that I am. So here I remain, conscious of my task, but with -
out the courage to step beyond the limitations of my senses, and that
which my reason denies. He tells these, “I have meat ye know not of. I am the bread that droppeth
down from heaven. I am the wine.” I know what I want to be, and be -
cause I am that bread I feast upon it. I assume that I am, and instead of
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenfeasting upon the fact that I am in this room talking to you and you are
listening to me, and that I am in Los Angeles, I feast upon the fact that I
am elsewhere and I walk here as though I am elsewhere. And gradually I
become what I feast upon. *****
Let me give you two personal stories. When I was a boy I lived in a very
limited environment, in a little island called Barbados. Feed for animals
was very, very scarce and very expensive because we had to import it. I
am one of a family of 10 children and my grandmother lived with us mak -
ing 13 at the table. Time and again I can remember my mother saying to the cook in the ear -
ly part of the week, “I want you to put away three ducks for Sunday's din -
ner.” This meant that she would take from the flock in the yard three
ducks and coop them up in a very small cage and feed them, stuff them
morning, noon, and night with corn and all the things she wanted the
ducks to feast upon. This was an entirely different diet from what we regularly fed the ducks,
because we kept those birds alive by feeding them fish. We kept them
alive and fat on fish because fish were very cheap and plentiful; but you
could not eat a bird that fed upon fish, not as you and I like a bird. The cook would take three ducks put them in a cage and for seven days
stuff them with corn, sour milk and all the things we wanted to taste in
the birds. Then when they were killed and served for dinner seven days
later they were luscious, milk fed, corn fed birds. But occasionally the cook forgot to put away the birds, and my father,
knowing we were having ducks, and believing that she had carried out the
command, did not send anything else for dinner, and three ducks came to
the table. You could not touch those birds for they were so much the em -
bodiment of what they fed upon. Man is a psychological being, a thinker. It is not what he feeds upon phys -
ically, but what he feeds upon mentally that he becomes. We become the
embodiment of that which we mentally feed upon. Now those ducks could not be fed corn in the morning and fish in the af -
ternoon and something else at night. It had to be a complete change of
diet. In our case we cannot have a little bit of meditation in the morning,
curse at noon, and do something else in the evening. We have to go on a
mental diet, for a week we must completely change our mental food. “Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever
More Free Books Law of Attraction Haventhings are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are of
good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on
these things.” (Phil 4:8). As a man thinketh in his heart so is he. If I could now single out the kind
of mental food I want to express within my world and feast upon it, I
would become it. Let me tell you why I am doing what I am doing today. It was back in
1933 in


, became I wanted to test it
Does this Secret really work? We put it to the test. It absolutely
worked, and now I live my life from that every single day. The knowledge of The Secret and the intentional use of the law of
attraction can be applied to every single subject in your life. It is the
same process for everything you want to create, and the subject of
money is no different. To attract money, you must focus on wealth. It is impossible to
bring more money into your life when you are noticing you do not
have enough, because that means you are thinking thoughts that
you do not have enough. Focus on not enough money, and you will
create untold more circumstances of not having enough money. You must focus on the abundance of money to bring that to you. You have to emit a new signal with your thoughts, and those
thoughts should be that you currently have more than enough. You
really do need to call your imagination into play and make believe
you already have the money you want. And it is so much fun to do! You will notice as you pretend and play games of having wealth
that you feel instantly better about money, and as you feel better
about it, it will begin to flow into your life. Jack's wonderful story inspired The Secret Team to create a blank

The only reason any person does not have enough money is be-
cause they are blocking money from coming to them with their
thoughts. Every negative thought, feeling, or emotion is blocking
your good from coming to you, and that includes money. It is not
that the money is being kept from you by the Universe, because all
the money you require exists right now in the invisible. If you do
not have enough, it is because you are stopping the flow of money
coming to you, and you are doing that with your thoughts. You
must tip the balance of your thoughts from lack-of-money to more-
than-enough-money. Think more thoughts of abundance than of
lack, and you have tipped the balance. When you need money, it is a powerful feeling within you, and so
of course through the law of attraction you will continue to attract
needing money. I can speak from experience about money, because just before I
discovered The Secret my accountants told me that my company you look at the check, feel the feelings of having that money now. Imagine spending that money, all the things you will buy and the
things you will do. Feel how wonderful that is! Know it is yours,
because when you ask, it is. We have received hundreds of stories
from people who have brought huge sums of money to them using
The Secret check. It's a fun game that works! 100 The Secret
had suffered a major loss that year, and in three months it would
be history. After ten years of hard work, my company was about to
slip through my fingers. And as I needed more money to save my
company, things just got worse. There seemed no way out. Then I discovered The Secret, and everything in my life—includ-
ing the state of my company—was totally transformed, because I
changed the way I was thinking. As my accountants continued to
fuss about the figures and focus on that, I kept my mind focused on
abundance and all being well. I knew with every fiber of my being
that the Universe would provide, and it did. It provided in ways I
could not have imagined. I had my moments of doubt, but when
the doubt came I immediately moved my thoughts to the outcome
of what I wanted. I gave thanks for it, I felt the joy of it, and I be-
lieved. I want to let you in on a secret to The Secret. The shortcut to any-
thing you want in your life is to BE and FEEL happy now! It is the
fastest way to bring money and anything else you want into your
life. Focus on radiating out into the Universe those feelings of joy
and happiness. When you do that, you will attract back to you all
things that bring you joy and happiness, which will not only in-
clude an abundance of money, but everything else you are want-
ing. You must radiate out the signal to bring back what you want. As you radiate out those feelings of happiness, they will be sent
back to you as the pictures and experiences of your life. The law of
attraction is reflecting back your innermost thoughts and feelings
as your life. The Secret to Money 101
DR. JOE VITALE
/ can imagine what a lot of people are thinking: "How can I
attract more money into my life? How can I get more of the
green stuff? How can I get more of wealth and prosperity? How can I, when I love my job, deal with the credit card debt
that I have, and the realization that maybe there's a ceiling on
the money that can come in, cause it's coming to me through
my job? How can I bring in more?" Intend it! This goes back to one of the things we've been talking about
throughout the whole Secret. Your job is to declare what
you would like to have from the catalogue of the Universe. If
cash is one of them, say how much you would like to have. "I
would like to have twenty-five thousand dollars, unexpected
income, within the next thirty days," or whatever it happens
to be. It should be believable for you. If you have held thoughts in the past that the only way money can
come to you is through your job, then let that go immediately. Can
you appreciate that as you continue to think that, it must be your
experience? Such thoughts do not serve you. You are now coming to understand that there is abundance for
you, and it is not your job to work out "how" the money will come
to you. It is your job to ask, to believe you are receiving, and feel 102 The Secret
Most people have a goal of getting out of debt. That will keep
you in debt forever. Whatever you're thinking about, you will
attract. You say, "But it's get out of debt." I don't care if it's
get out or get in, if you're thinking debt, you're attracting
debt. Set up an automatic debt repayment program and then
start to focus on prosperity. When you have a pile of bills that you have no idea how you are
going to pay you cannot focus on those bills, because you will con-
tinue to attract more bills. You have to find a way that works for
you to focus on prosperity despite the bills around you. You have to
find a way of feeling good, so you can bring your good to you. JAMES RAY
So many times people say to me, "I'd like to double my
income in the next year." But then you look at their
actions and they're not doing the things that are going to
make that happen. They'll turn right around and they'll
say, "I can't afford that." Guess what? "Your wish is my
command." If the words "I can't afford it" have passed your lips/ your power
to change that is now. Change it with, "I can afford that! I can buy

thirty days, make it your intention that you are going to look at
everything you like and say to yourself, "I can afford that. I can
buy that." As you see your dream car drive past, say, "I can af-
ford that." As you see clothes you love, as you think about a great
vacation, say, "I can afford that." As you do this you will begin to
shift yourself and you will begin to feel better about money. You
will begin to convince yourself that you can afford those things,
and as you do, the pictures of your life will change. LISA NICHOLS
When you focus on lack and scarcity and what you don't
have, you fuss about it with your family, you discuss it with
your friends, you tell your children that you don't have
enough —"'We don't have enough for that, we can't afford
that"—then you'll never be able to afford it, because you
begin to attract more of what you don't have. If you want
abundance, if you want prosperity, then focus on abundance. Focus on prosperity. "The spiritual substance from which comes all

ISOLATED AND MODERNIZED POLYNESIANS
THE characteristics of the Polynesian race included straight hair, oval features, happy, buoyant
dispositions and splendid physiques. When the Pacific Islands were discovered the Polynesians
were found inhabiting the Hawaiian Islands, the Marquesas Islands, the Tuamotu group including
Tahiti, the Cook Islands, the Tongan Islands and the Samoan group. The first group studied was made up of the people of the Marquesas Islands which are situated
9 degrees south latitude and 140 degrees west longitude, about 4,000 miles due west of Peru. Few, if any, of the primitive racial stocks of the South Sea Islands were so enthusiastically extolled
for their beauty and excellence of physical development by the early navigators. Much tooth decay
prevails today. They reported the Marquesans as vivacious, happy people numbering over a
hundred thousand on the seven principal islands of this group. Probably in few places in the world
can so distressing a picture be seen today as is found there. A French government official told me
that the native population had decreased to about two thousand, chiefly as a result of the ravages
of tuberculosis. Serious epidemics of small-pox and measles have at times taken a heavy toll. In a
group of approximately one hundred adults and children I counted ten who were emaciated and
coughing with typical signs of tuberculosis. Many were waiting for treatment at a dispensary eight
hours before the hour it opened. In the past some of the natives have had splendid physiques, fine
countenances, and some of the women have had beautiful features. They are now a sick and dying
primitive group. A trader ship was in port exchanging white flour and sugar for their copra. They7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 74/250have largely ceased to depend on the sea for food. Tooth decay was rampant. At the time of the
examination, 36.9 per cent of the teeth of the people using trade food in conjunction with the land
plants and fruits had been attacked by tooth decay. The individuals living entirely on native foods
were few. Some early navigators were so highly impressed with the beauty and health of these
people that they reported the Marquesas Islands as the Garden of Eden. Tahiti is the principal
island of the Society group. It is situated 17 degrees south of the equator, 149 degrees west
longitude. Fortunately degeneration has not been so rapid nor so severe here. The Tahitian
population, however, has reduced from over two hundred thousand as early estimated, to a
present native population estimated at about ten thousand. These islands are also a part of French
Oceania. Many of the able bodied men were taken from these French Islands to France to fight in
the World War. Only a small percentage, however, returned, and they were mostly crippled and
maimed. The Tahitians are a buoyant, light-hearted race, fully conscious, however, of their rapid
decline in numbers and health. Many of the more primitive are very fine looking and have excellent
dental arches, as seen in Fig. 33. FIG. 33. Polynesians are a beautiful race and physically
sturdy. They have straight hair and their color is often that
of a sun tanned European. They have perfect dental arches. The capital of Tahiti, Papeete, is the administrative center for the French Pacific possessions. It
has a large foreign population, and there is considerable commerce in and out of this port. Much
imported food is used. Like on the Marquesas Islands, it was difficult to find large numbers of
individuals living entirely on the native foods. Those that were found had complete immunity to
dental caries. For the natives living in part on trade foods, chiefly white flour, sugar and canned
goods, 31.9 per cent of the teeth were found to be attacked by tooth decay. Typical extensive
destruction of the teeth amongst the modernized Tahitians is shown in Fig. 34. There is a large
colony of Chinese in Tahiti, brought there as indentured laborers. They have not returned. When
the Tahitian men did not return from the war, their wives married the Chinese, who are good
workers.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 75/250FIG. 34. Wherever the native foods have been displaced by
the imported foods, dental caries becomes rampant. These
are typical modernized Tahitians. The Cook Islands are British and under the direct guidance of the New Zealand Government. Rarotonga is the principal island. It is situated in the Pacific Ocean in the vicinity of 21 degrees
south latitude and 160 degrees west longitude. It has a delightful climate the year around. Racially
according to legend, the Maori tribe, the native tribe of New Zealand, migrated there from the
Cook Islands. In addition to being similar in physical development and appearance, their languages
are sufficiently similar so that each can understand the other, even though their separation occurred
probably over a thousand years ago. It is a matter of great importance that the inhabitants of these South Sea Islands were skillful
navigators and boat builders. It was a common occurrence for expeditions both peaceful and
aggressive to make journeys of one and two thousand miles in crafts propelled by man power and
wind and carrying in addition an adequate supply of water and food for their journey. A large number were found in Rarotonga living almost entirely on native foods, and only 0.3 per
cent of the teeth of these individuals have been attacked by dental caries. In the vicinity of Avarua,
the principal port, however, the natives were living largely on trade foods, and among these 29.5
per cent of the teeth were found to have been attacked by dental caries. In Fig. 35 (top) are seen
typically fine faces and teeth. However at the lower left is shown a child at the port whose parents
were living on the imported food. This boy's upper lateral teeth are erupting inside the arch. In the
lower right is a child with normal spacing of the deciduous teeth.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 76/250FIG. 35. These Polynesians live on the island of Rarotonga. At the top are two examples of typically fine faces and teeth. Below, at left, is seen a full blood Polynesian child with the
dental arch so small that the permanent laterals are
developing inside the arch. His parents used imported food. At the right below is a mixed blood of white and Polynesian. Note the normal spacing of the temporary teeth before the
permanent set appears. Parents used native foods. Under British guidance the Cook Islanders have much better health than the Marquesans or the
Tahitians. Their population is not seriously decreasing, and is untroubled except for the progressive
development of the degenerative diseases around the port. They are thrifty and happy, and are
rapidly developing a local culture including a school system supported by natives. The inhabitants of the Tongan Islands, the principal of which is Tongatabu, are Polynesian. This
group, containing over 100 islands, is situated between 18 and 22 degrees south latitude and
between 173 and 176 degrees west longitude, and has a native population of about 28,000. They
have the distinction of being one of the last absolute monarchies of the world. While they are under
the protection of Great Britain, they largely manage their own affairs. Their isolation is nearly
complete except for a call from an infrequent trader. They seem to be credited by the inhabitants
of the other islands as being the greatest warriors of the Pacific. The Tongans at least acknowledge
that they are the greatest warriors, and indeed the greatest people of the world. They will not step
aside to allow anyone to pass since they say that when the world was created and populated they
were the first to be made, next was the pig, and last the white man. Ethnologically, they are said to
be a mixture of the darker Melanesians with their kinky hair, and the fairer Polynesians of the
eastern archipelagos with straight hair. It is said they have never been defeated in battle. For
centuries they and the Fijian tribes 700 miles to the west have frequently been at war. The British
government has very skillfully directed this racial rivalry into athletics. While we were in the Fiji
Islands the British government provided a battle cruiser to carry the football team from Fiji to
Nukualofa for the annual contest of strength. These islanders have practiced eugenics by selecting tall strong mates. The queen of the islands
was six feet three inches in height. The limited importation of foods to the Tongan Islands due to the infrequent call of merchant or
trading ships has required the people to remain largely on their native foods. Following the war,
however, the price of copra went up from $40.00 per ton to $400.00

be able to view the living things of this planet in a new and
broader perspective. In this, as in other branches of research, the scope for explora
tion seems as large as the Universe itself. This is not only because
our knowledge of most things is deplorably incomplete but also
110 THE CONT INUING ADVENTUR E
because the organization of the Universe does not preclude
change and development; on the contrary these seem to be in
herent in it. The Universe is not static but almost inconceivably
dynamic with everything in it-from galaxies to atoms-in a
state of constant motion or change. At the outset of this adventure we made the 'primitive as
snmption', based on all the evidence available, that we live in an
ordered Universe. We assumed that order is imposed on the
elementary components of Nature, whether particle or wave, by
means of definite arrangements or patterns of organization which
persist in time and which we can identify. We recognize these
as permanent elements in the environment; we recognize trees
and plants, birds and beasts, monkeys and man. If these patt erns
did not persist any description of the things we see would have
no continuity. On the other hand, we have only to look around to observe
that no particular design, pattern or arrangement of parts ever
appears at the outset full-blown or in its final form; there is
always a developing process. The acorn grows and develops into
an oak tree, never into a fig tree. It is obvious, therefore, that
the laws of Nature do more than develop a pattern: they also
determine the steps by which the pattern evolves, grows and
develops. In other words, there is nothing fixed about the Uni
verse; it is a growing active system. It is a far cry from the most elementary living forms to the
highly complex systems which have evolved from them. There is
a great gap between the simple elements and the complicated,
�iant molecules which have been developed from them not only
by Nature but also by man. Man, in fact, imitates Nature in developing from the simple to
the complex. For instance, he started by cooking and keeping
himself warm with burning sticks; now he has the modern elec
trical kitchen and automatic heating systems. Simple screws and
bolts, gears and wheels are organized into the marvellous tools
and machines of today. And sure1y Henry Ford would he amazed
at the modern automobile which developed from his Model T.
We cannot foresee the ultimate outcome either of Nature's
developments or of man's. This makes the whole process of
111 THE CONTINUING ADVENTURE
examining every aspect of the Universe an alive, exciting and
adventurous exploration. Yet, from time to time, some pundit will declare with solemn
finality that there is nothing more to be discovered in his par
ticular field of study. And almost invariably he will soon be made
to look foolish by some new discovery or breakthrough which
opens up new areas to explore. We can feel sorry for such self
satisfied people because these rash statements not only betray
their lack of imagination but also show that they have missed
one of the great adventures of life-examining a developing
Universe. We have no right to assume that the present state of the Uni
verse is the final one, because all we know about it is that it has
grown and developed over a vast span of time. And there is no
reason to suppose that that development has come to an end
with our present environment. We cannot know the final end of growth and developm ent,
but at least we can be quite certain that it has an ultimate goal. It is doubtful. however, whether this ultimate goal is a fixed and
final one; more likely, the goal itself develops with time. Perhaps
the present is always moulding the future. For it is impossible to
imagine that any of the material units of our environment are in
final form, because everything we know is developing and grow
ing towards a more perfect realization of the operation of the
basic laws of the Universe. While we can make effective use of
our growing knowledge of these laws, we have no way of pre
dicting what the ultimate outcome will be. 2
In exploring a developing Universe, science's basic aim and
problem is to determine the origin of its design. Science now
knows a lot about the design itself but how it started is still
shrouded in mystery. This central problem of science is of prime
importance, not for mere academic reasons but because if we
could know more about the origin of the Universe we might
know more about how to conduct ourselves and our affairs. 112 THE CONT INUIN G ADVENTURE
At the present time, in the hope of solving that mystery, we
are spending billions of dollars exploring space. The techniques
which have made such explorations possible are almost beyond
description. It is certainly a miraculous developm ent, which may
yield products of practical utility to ma nkind and which, for
this reason, is quite possibly worth the money spent on it. But, so
far, it has contributed little to man's understanding of the world
in which he lives. And, as far as the basic problem of science is
concerned, we are no wiser than we were before the Russians
launched the first sputnik into space. The origin of the Universe
still eludes us. Perhaps it always will. In the meanwhile, however, we can
learn more about something no less important -the forces which
control the unfoLding of the design of the Universe through
growth and developm ent. Of these, the fields of life are perhaps
the most amenable to further study because-as has been shown
in the preceding pages-they exist in all living forms so far
examined and can be measured with great precision in controlled
and repeatable experiments. L-fields, therefore, offer us a new and scientific approach to
some of the methods used by Nature to execute her designs. By studying these methods we can hope to learn more about
the designs themselves, even if we remain unable to solve the
great mystery of their origin. We can hope, too, to gain a
greater understanding of how the designs fit in to the pattern of
the larger designs of the Universe. For, as we noted in the first
chapter, L-fields by their very nature must be influenced by the
all-powerful fields of the Cosmos and must therefore be an integ
ral part of its overall design. Meanwhile, the fact that L-fields are a part of the Cosmic de
sign is compelling evidence that we live in a Universe of law and
order, because they impose design and organization on the con
stantly-changing material components of all living forms. They
compel an acorn to grow into an oak tree-and only an oak
tree; they compel a maize seed to grow into a corn-stalk and not
a stalk of wheat or barley. Anything that compels growth and
development in an organized way is irrefutable evidence of law
and order. 113 THE CONTINU ING ADVENTURE
But the L-fields of this planet are themselves influenced by the
greater fields in which our world is enmeshed, as we found from
the effects of sun-spot activity on the fields of trees. They are
subject, then, to 'higher authority'-so to speak, which compels
them to change in various ways. And, no doubt, the fields that
surround this planet are themselves subject to the greater fields
of space. In other words, L-�dds are links in a 'chain of authority'. This
starts with the simplest living forms, runs upwards through all
the life on this planet to the most complex form we know-man
-and then extends outwards into space and upwards to an
in�nite, ultimate authority, about which we can only speculate. This 'chain of authority', of course, does not apply only to the
fields of life. It must also extend from the heart of the smallest
atom to those gigantic forces which keep the planets in their
orbits, which govern the stars in their courses and which regulate
the feverish race of the most distant galaxies towards the outer
reaches of space. In building living forms, the fields of life override the normal
laws of chemistry and physics. They compel atoms and molecules
to assume-and to retain through constant changes of material
-stable arrangements, which hreak down to simpler compounds
after the death of the form. If it were not for this 'overriding
authority' of the L-fields you and I could not exist in our present
form because the complex molecules of which we are composed
could not build themselves on their own-or by chance-and
could not retain their composition. You and 1, then, are literally held together by definable laws,
of which L-fields are a manifestation. Without these laws-or
if the Universe were really chaos-we could not exist for a
millisecond. Rigid, specific and exact forces control not only the
construction and maintenance of our component parts but also
their organization and interrelationsh ip. In short, we exist by virtue of inexora ble laws in a highly
organized Universe of law and order. 114 THE CONTINUING ADVENTURE

All this will not appeal to those who prefer to believe that the
Universe is chaos and man an accidental end-product of fortuit

 patient will also want to give up peanuts. First, the peanut is not a nut,
but a legume. Second, the peanut also has too much protein for the cancer patient. Third, it has been found that a fungus grows on peanuts, which produces aflatoxin. To stimulate cancers in experimental animals cancer researchers use aflatoxin. Processed Foods
White Flour
All concentrated foods are extremely hard on the liver and should be given up. White flour and all products containing white flour should be avoided. These are not
only concentrated carbohydrates, but almost always have preservatives added. Use fresh whole wheat bread, made from wheat grown free of all pesticides
(another liver destroying chemical). The essential vitamins are oxidized within three
days at room temperature; hence the need for grinding only as used. Freshly ground
flour or freshly made whole wheat bread may be safely stored deep in a deep freeze
for about a week. It is best, however, to use it within three days. White Sugar
The cancer patient w ill also want to give up all white sugar and white sugar
products. The concentrated carbohydrates are hard on the liver, but more important
in relation to cancer, they are very hard on the pancreas. The pancreas, as noted
earlier, is the first organ to be protected at all costs. White sugar has been processed
(refined) and all the vital minerals are taken out. Cancer patients are always deficient
in minerals. For those who have a sweet tooth, these organic foods may be eaten as desired:
dates, date sugar, figs and raisins obtained from a health food store. These are free of
toxic pesticides and are not harmful to the pancreas or the liver. A cancer patient may
also eat pure maple syrup or unheated honey, in that order. The first is preferable
because it has a higher mineral content. Soy Products
Soy products, except Lecithin, should be used very sparingly for two reasons: First,
the protein content is too high for the cancer patient; Second, soy products tend to
upset the delicate acid/alkaline balance of the body. Eating soy products may be

Other Improper Foods
Lemon juice should replace vinegar altogether. Vinegar is too harsh on the delicate
mucus membrane of the alimentary canal. Also, the ingestion of large quantities of
vinegar causes the digestive tract to become too acid and thus decreases the
efficiency of the pancreatic enzymes and the digestive processes. For at least the first
eight months on Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program, lemon juice should be
used in preference to vinegar on salads. Unrefined, organic flaxseed oil may be used
as salad dressing
For the period of intensive detoxification and treatment, tea, coffee, soft drinks,
chocolate, liquor, tobacco, pork, and white rice should be avoided. These also place
additional stress upon the liver and pancreas as they are being detoxified. Physiological Reactions to
Eating and Taking Supplements
According to Your Metabolic Type
As you follow a properly balanced nutritional program, changes begin to happen
within your body. Often this is alarming and not at all what you expected to happen. The Ideal Reaction
The ideal reaction is the gradual development of an increased "sense of well
being." At first you w ill notice you do not tire so easily. You "last" longer during the
day, and you do not become tired so early in the evening. Next, you find you are not
so tired in the mornings. You look forward to the new day and may awaken earlier. As your sense of well-being increases, you begin to feel more emotionally and
psychologically secure. Little things do not bother you as they once did. Your old
habit patterns begin to change from "grumpy" ones to "happy" ones. Adverse Reactions
The ideal reaction often occurs, but more frequently there is a multitude of
uncomfortable reactions, which normally come first, as your body chemistry begins
to change. These reactions should not alarm you or cause undue apprehension. Any
one or all of the following reactions may occur:
Toxic Reactions
74
Winning The Cancer War
After about two or three of weeks eating and taking supplements according to your
metabolic type it is normal to experience toxic reactions. You w ill gradually lose your
appetite, become nauseated and may even develop a "toxic headache." Occasionally, you may also experience swelling in the various lymph glands
throughout your body. The normal cells cleaning debris from the system faster than
the liver, kidneys, skin and lungs can remove them from the body bring about these
toxic reactions. At this point you can do two things to help:
1. Discontinue the supplements for no more than a five-day period. Continue the
supplements again for ten to 25 days. This cycle of five days off and ten or more
days on may have to be repeated several times, depending upon the depleted
condition of your body and the amount of repair which is needed at the cellular
level. 2. Take a coffee enema to stimulate the excretion of toxins. The procedure for this
is explained earlier in this book. One or two a day may be taken depending
upon the severity of the toxic condition. In an extreme toxic reaction, both the
discontinuance of supplements and the coffee enema should be used. 75
Structu r a l &  Neu rologica l Stim ulation
W h ile  the bo dy is being p ro p e rly  d e to x ifie d  and nourished,
th e  nerve supply to  th e  pancreas and liv e r should be considered. Structural and Neurological Stimulation
While the body is being properly detoxified and nourished, the nerve supply to the
pancreas and liver should be considered. A specific organ works only when told to by a nerve, chemical, or pressure
stimulation. Upon taking careful histories, we found a number of cancer patients who
had had blows to the head or spine. We feel that such experiences change the nerve
impulses to the various organs. If pressure on a nerve to the pancreas causes it to
cease sending impulses to the pancreas, the pancreas w ill turn off and wait until the
nerve tells it to work again. If the nerve is destroyed, or for some reason never sends a
message, the pancreatic function will be greatly impaired. Probably the best way to reactivate the nerve enervation is through some form of
manipulative therapy such as osteopathic manipulation, chiropractic adjustments, or
physiotherapy. We have found it advisable to have such a weekly manipulative
treatment, for at least the first nine months of cancer treatment. The regular body
massage that people are familiar with are not a good but also helpful. Neurological stimulation can sometimes be increased or simulated by hormone
therapy, but this technique must be performed under the direction of a very highly
skilled clinician. There are a group of dentists who use a method called Mandibular Equilibration
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) equilibration to re-shape the skull, take stresses from
the brain, and in this way effect very profound neurological changes. The following are brief descriptions of a few highly successful body-aligning
systems. Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Equilibration
Temporomandibular Joint is such a mouthful that dentists like to use just the
initials. It is the name of the joint just in front of the ear where the lower jaw hinges. 76

There is one on the right side, and one on the left. When one or both of them are
forced out of place it may lead to such distressing or painful conditions as earache,
headache, head noises, clicking sounds, dizziness, nervousness and even mental
troubles. For such ailments as these, doctors may prescribe hot and cold packs, diathermy,
massage vibration, rest, surgery, psychological treatment or drugs. While all of these
remedies are useful at times, they often do not bring permanent relief if stress in the
joint is the real cause of the trouble. When the cause is stress in this joint in front of the ear, as it often is, a safe and
highly successful dental treatment may be the solution. This treatment is known as
"equilibration" (pronounced ee-quil-i-bray-shun); it simply means equalizing the
muscle forces to restore the lower jaw and its joints to their normal unstrained or
neutral positions. How do the joints get out of adjustment in the first place? It might be from a blow
on the chin, a muscle spasm, or opening the jaw too wide (as when biting or
yawning). But the most common is chewing with teeth that come together in a wrong
way. Dentists refer to this condition as "malocclusion." We close our jaws in chewing food, of course — and most persons also press their
teeth together one or two thousand times a day between meals in swallowing. If the
teeth do not meet properly, the pressures on them during chewing and swallowing
may force the lower jaw into a strained position that pinches the joints in front of the
ears. If you could see through the skin and get a side view of the TMJ, you would see
how the mandible, or lower jaw, hinges to the skull. The joint consists of a ball-and-
socket arrangement, with the ball
