18. How to come out of a 9 -day dry
fasting course?
You need to prepare Bolotov's whey (see above)
and meltwater to properly come out of a 9 -day
dry fasting course.
How to prepare meltwater
• Water preserves its acquired structure for sev-
eral hours, although it loses it when heated.
However, water that has just melted has the
greatest biological po wer (when there are still
pieces of ice in it).
• The easiest method  makes it possible to com-
pletely remove deuterium. When water starts
freezing, remove the newly formed crust of
ice. It’s deuterium that freezes first. When the
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frmain part of water freezes, r inse the frozen
piece with cold tap water. It should become
transparent, as the water will remove harmful
impurities from the ice. Next, melt the ice and
drink the meltwater you prepared.
• The second method. Heat a small amount of
liquid to 94 -96C. Water sh ouldn’t boil, but
only start bubbling. At this point, remove the
pan and cool it down rapidly, then freeze and
melt the water. The meltwater prepared this
way goes through all the phases of its circula-
tion in nature: evaporating, cooling, freezing,
and mel ting. This kind of water is especially
useful as it has tremendous internal energy
potential.
• The third method. Water is cooled in the re-
frigerator until the first ice appears (if it’s tap
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frwater, let is stand for a few hours to get rid of
dissolved gases).  Throw this ice away, as it
contains the impurities that prefer the solid
state. The remaining water is further frozen
until most of it turns into ice (but not all of it).
This ice is taken out and used for its intended
purpose. The remaining liquid is pou red out
as it contains the impurities that prefer the liq-
uid state. You will lose about 5% at the begin-
ning and 10% in the end.
• Dew water. If you put sprouted wheat in melt-
water for a day (3 tablespoons per liter), you
will get dew water. Its composition i s very
close to that of natural dew. This water is con-
sidered the most beneficial for the body. It
perfectly detoxifies and charges body cells. It’s
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frbetter to use it when coming out of dry fast-
ing.
Follow these important rules when coming
out of fasting:
• Come out of a fast for as many days as you
fast. One day of dry fasting is equivalent to
three days of water  fasting. Thus, if your dry
fasting course lasts for 9 days, you need to
come out of it for 30 days or a whole month!
• First and foremost, drink wate r. It’s best to use
dew, spring, or meltwater. The way you drink
matters: you must add three capsules of
"LINEX" or, better yet, Bolotov's whey (se-
rum) to the first glass of water. Drink it over
the course of fifteen minutes. Most im-
portantly, do it slowly, sip by sip, so that you
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frmake your last sip in the fourteenth minute.
Don’t drink a glass of water in ten minutes or
less, as it’s very risky. The water consumption
systems may not cope with it, so you may faint
or face other harsh consequences. Drink eig ht
glasses of water this way within six -eight
hours, and then you can brush your teeth. In
very rare cases, the first sip of water can cause
nausea. In this case, hold every sip of water in
the mouth, mixing it with saliva, and then
swallow it 20- 30 seconds later.
• You can combine drinking water with taking
a shower. After a shower, douse yourself with
cold water, and then take a warm (not hot)
bath with herbal infusions (no longer than 8
minutes). At the same time, you should keep
drinking water for 12 hour s.
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr• Ideally, it’s best to start coming out of a dry
fast with Bolotov's whey (serum). Put 1 table-
spoon of it in a glass of water, and it will per-
fectly restore your intestinal microflora.
• If you don’t feel the taste of food while chew-
ing or if it tastes lik e cotton, it means that your
stomach isn’t ready to digest it. You don’t
need this food, so wait for a few days before
trying it again.
• If you feel discomfort during or after eating –
stomach pain, dry mouth, or reluctance to
keep eating it – stop eating this food. It means
that it’s harmful, and don’t feel sorry for the
money spent on this food because your health
is more important.
• You can gradually consume bees’ waste prod-
ucts, honey and pollen from the 2nd day on.
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frFood should be varied and full of vitam ins,
micro and macro elements. During the first
five days of coming out of a dry fast, you
should eat only fresh, clean, and high -quality
food products. Don’t eat sugar and sugar -con-
taining canned products. It’s better to drink
juices and eat fruit through out this period, so
that the body keeps detoxing.
• You can start adding salt to your food on the
4th day of coming out of fasting, and it’s best
to use rock or sea salt. Do it very gradually, use
the tip of a knife.
• When coming out of a fast, it’s important to
drink Java tea for a month to help your kid-
neys function, due to the heavy burden on
them. In the summer or autumn, you can eat
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frwatermelons, which is the perfect way to
break a fast.
• Be prepared for mild numbness in your toes
and fingers while coming out of a fast. This
symptom will pass with time. Your vision may
also be altered, but these changes will also
pass. If you have dry skin, it can become drier
and may peel off while fasting. The skin on
your face and nose may crack. Apply different
fruit masks for significant skin improvement.
• When coming out of a fast, please use cupping
and honey massage for faster body detox and
improved lymphatic drainage.
• When coming out of a fast, you need to stay
away from draft s and cold weather, especially
during the first days. This is when the im-
mune system is reset to neutralize food and
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frwater, so the body is weakened. When the
body is reset, the immunity will be even
stronger than it was prior to the fast.

Coming out of fa st. Methodology
The 1st day:
• 8 am - Drink high -quality hot meltwater, add
1 tablespoon of Bolotov's whey or lactic acid bac-
teria preparations to the first glass of water.
Drink it over the course of fifteen minutes. Do it
slowly, sip by sip, so that you make your last sip
in the fourteenth minute. Don’t drink a glass of
water in ten minutes or less, as it’s very risky.
Drink eight glasses of water this way within six -
eight hours, and then you can brush your teeth.

† Unlike the fuyu, the hachiya is an astringent variety of persim mon. When unripe, the tannins of this fruit will leave you with a
chalky feeling in your mouth. You know this fruit is ripe when it feels  so soft it that is seems it should fall apart in your hands.
However, it can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months for  this fruit to reach its peak. I like to say, “buy them
at Thanksgiving and eat them at Christmas.” Y ou may find that some h ave black spots on the outside. This is the result of external

-
let that’s absolutely going to save your life. Because if you don’t support your immune system by changing your lifestyle to get healthier, then you’re going to have reduced odds of success. In other words, if you continue to smoke cigarettes, eat fried foods, avoid physical exercise, avoiding taking vitamin D supple

ments, avoid getting natural sunlight on your skin, if you spend most of your time under ﬂuorescent lights or breathing toxic fumes during a long commute, or you have a high stress environment, then all of those things are going to suppress your immune system and there’s no medicine in the world that can cure you of inﬂuenza. To beat the ﬂu pandemic, you have to get plenty of water, you must get adequate levels of sleep, you need to radically alter your diet, shift to healthier foods, give up unhealthy habits like drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes, drinking large amounts of alcohol, breathing secondhand smoke and so on. All these things affect your outcome.
But even if you have a poor lifestyle, a product like this Jenny Lee A-V tincture will still enhance your odds of
resisting the ﬂu and surviving it. So even if you are smoking cigarettes, eating pizza and chowing down on fried foods all the time, at least a product like this can increase your odds, but it’s not a replacement for be
-
ing a wise consumer. So I hope I’m making myself clear on this: don’t look at this product or any product out there as a miracle cure, especially if you continue to pursue unhealthy lifestyle habits. But if you want an ally in the battle to resist the ﬂu and survive the ﬂu pandemic, this is an excellent choice. If you don’t buy it from Jenny Lee Naturals, then at least, for your own sake, buy some of the bulk herbs and make your own tincture.

(Recipe below.)
Beat the Bird Flu Virus
6You Can Taste the Potency
Let me warn you up front, this is not a delicious tincture. This is not some candy being disguised as medi -
cine. This stuff tastes pretty awful and if you think about what’s in it, you’ll understand why. There are some
rather bitter-tasting herbs in there. But it is in fact the taste that lets you know this is the real thing. Because if you buy some herbal tincture that tastes sweet, or it just doesn’t taste very strong, then chances are you’ve purchased a product that’s highly diluted (a lot of cheap herbal tincture products are like that). Real herbal tinctures with medicinal value have a strong taste. They are usually extremely bitter. They should make your face go into all sorts of bizarre contortions. That’s how you know you’re getting a potent herbal tincture, and that is deﬁnitely the case with this Jenny Lee A-V product.
I’ve tasted it myself and at that moment I made myself a promise that I would never use it again unless I
was around people who were infected with the ﬂu, or if there were a global ﬂu pandemic and I wanted to have the best possible defense against that pandemic. This is deﬁnitely not a product you want to be using on a daily basis. This is not some vitamin supplement. You don’t need these herbs every single day unless you’re ﬁghting the ﬂu or battling cancer.
The other thing to know about this product is that you shouldn’t take it if you’re pregnant or if you are expect
-
ing to become pregnant. Some of these herbs are contraindicated with pregnancy. One of the ingredients,
St. John’s Wort, is also known to interact with various prescription drugs, so if you plan to take this product, this is something you should deﬁnitely discuss with your doctor to make sure it is aligned with whatever health strategy you are currently pursuing. In particular, St. John’s Wort can interfere with various heart drugs and reduce their effectiveness. So prescription drug dosages may need to be modiﬁed when taking
this product.
Don’t Wait Until the Pandemic Strikes to Prepare
By the way, if you’re reading this and the global ﬂu pandemic has not yet become a genuine outbreak, then you still have a chance to get these products. They have an extended shelf-life -- several years if you refrigerate them -- meaning that you can buy them now, put them in your fridge and use them years later with the same medicinal effect. And why should you buy them now? Because this report is being shared freely with readers around the world, and experience tells me that when people get their hands on this in
-
formation, they’re going to forward it to their family and friends and coworkers, and this is going to wind up being downloaded and read by a very large number of people, probably a few hundred thousand (and that’s BEFORE there’s a ﬂu pandemic).
Most of those people are going to wait around and do nothing about the ﬂu pandemic until it hits. They won’t
modify their lifestyle, they won’t boost their own immune system function, and they won’t order products that can defend against the ﬂu until the day this epidemic really hits. One of these days there will be a news headline in USA Today or some other national newspaper that says “Global ﬂu epidemic strikes USA!” -- and it will be talked about on the news, in all the newspapers, and all over the internet. You’ll hear that people are getting sick and dying from this ﬂu pandemic and, oh, the U.S. government didn’t do anything to prepare for it, and gee, there’s not enough vaccine to go around. I can hear the useless chatter already.
Beat the Bird Flu Virus
7Most People Will Wait Until It’s Too Late
That’s the day when it’s too late to order this product, because I can absolutely guarantee that, given hu -
man nature and the way people think, 99% of the population will wait until that day to do something about
it. On that day people are going to call up Jenny Lee Naturals and they’re going to start ordering 20 or 30 bottles at a time, and Jenny Lee Naturals is going to run out of product in a matter of hours. Even with their best efforts, they won’t be able to manufacture enough product to meet the skyrocketing demand as people suddenly become aware that this pandemic is real, and they suddenly want to be saved from it, because none of them actually did anything to enhance their immune system function. They kept on suppressing their body’s defenses by eating unhealthy foods and following unhealthy habits. Now all of a sudden the pandemic has hit and they are scared... they want something to protect them and they’re going to buy it in
large quantities, foolishly thinking they can buy their way out of a personal health crisis.
That’s human nature, that’s the way people think. And if you wait until that day, you’re probably going to
ﬁnd yourself at the end of a long waiting list. So then what will you do? You’ll go out to the health food store thinking, well, I’m going to buy up all these ingredients myself, and you’ll ﬁnd that, strangely enough, all of these key antiviral ingredients are already wiped out of stock at the local health food store. So you’ll say, well, gee, I’ll go online and I’ll ﬁnd an herbal store or some kind of vitamin store and I’ll order these products there. So you do that, and sure enough they take your order and charge your credit card. You think you’re all set until, a few hours later, you get an email that says “All the items you ordered are out of stock, please wait 4 to 6 weeks for delivery.” You’re thinking, “I need this stuff TODAY, not in four to six weeks!”
It’s at that point that you’re going to realize you’re too late, and you’re going to get desperate. What I’m say
-
ing here is don’t get caught with your pants down in this situation. Don’t be the last person to realize that
something needs to be done. Don’t join the masses who are ignoring this problem and then, all of a sudden one day, getting panicked because it’s showed up on the evening news and now they realize they really,
truly might be killed by this virus if they don’t get some protection.
The Government Won’t Save You
And for goodness sake, don’t trust the U.S. government to do anything about this. As usual, the bureaucrats are bumbling around doing absolutely nothing useful for the public. There will be no vaccine distribution system in place that’s sufﬁcient to reach the entire population. Some people are going to have no vaccine whatsoever, no question about it. The vaccine, if it even exists at all, will be rationed. There will be extremely limited supplies. The elderly will probably get it ﬁrst, followed by young children. Most adults are unlikely to get any vaccine whatsoever. And all the while the government is going to be making public statements saying that it is doing everything in its power to protect the public from the ﬂu pandemic. Of course, it will all be hogwash, because if they were doing everything in their power, they’d be doing something today to put such a system in place and there wouldn’t be a vaccine crisis in the ﬁrst place. But just like the population,
the government doesn’t like to plan ahead.
The bottom line to all this


 un-derstand the beauty of creation.
Many people think that Adam and Eve were naked in the Garden
of Eden. They were not naked until the fall. They were clothed in light we are told in the Book of Psalms. One of the interesting things about Adam and Eve as they were clothed in the light, was that they were in the image of God, and the Word says God is "a flaming fire, a flaming torch," and in the Book of Revelation it says when we are translated we shall be "like Him, we shall shine as the sun."
One thing about man being created in God's image, we were cre-
ated without any blood in our veins, or we were created without the need to breathe oxygen. If we had breathed oxygen we would have exploded and would have caught fire. According to the mathematics of the frequency upon which we live, the temperature of Adam and Eve's body in the Garden of Eden before the fall was 980 degrees cen-tigrade, because their bodies were anionic.
Adam needed a helpmate so God gave him Eve. The word ADAM means "red," for Adam was made from the dust
of the earth, and it was red. Eve was taken from the rib of Adam, and male and fern ale created He them.
Some believe that the tree in the midst of the Garden was the tree
of sense. I believe it was a fruit. As Eve partook of this fruit she was tempted by the king of all beasts, the dinosaur (serpent) and he was commanded to crawl on hi belly because he deceived Eve. The dino-saur became the snake after he lost his legs and was not in the Ark, so we are led to believe that the flood completed the extinction of the di-nosaur.
Adam had a choice of either eating the fruit and having a wife, or
he had a choice of not eating the fruit and losing his wife. He chose to partake of her sin and have a wife. Adam's sin was: he listened to his 138 wife, instead of listening to God. God made man the head of the
house, the prince, the high priest of the home.
I've never seen a happy home when the father was not the high
priest of that home. It is his duty to lead his family to the Lord. That's why Abraham was such a great man for he led his family in the ways of the Lord.
After Adam partook of the fruit he realized that they were naked,
and a change had taken place in th eir body chemistry. It changed from
anionic to cationic. There was now blood in their veins and there was sweat, they would earn their bread by the sweat of their brow, and there was death and they began to die.
Any day that one breathes oxygen that day they begin to die. Oxy-
gen is known as the element of time. It is the element that brought time into existence because where there is no time, there is no oxygen or death. You might ask: "If there was day and night is that not time?" No. You can have rhythm without time, but you cannot have time
without rhythm. Adam had lost his anionic body and was living in the
age of time, which denotes an end. Time denotes a death. Have you ever had an appointment and somebody didn't show up? This created a problem. Time denotes problems. So here then is another proof that Adam and Eve breathed oxygen because oxygen is known as the sword of all elements. Everything that comes in contact with oxygen begins to break down. Metals begin to  rust and deteriorate. Apples cut
open begin to turn brown.
Man cannot live without oxygen. What did Adam and Eve breathe
before they breathed oxygen? The Word tells us when God breathed into man the breath of life he became a living soul, and this was while he was still in the Garden. God breathed into Adam the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Love, the Spirit of Divine Supremacy of something that is greater than we can express in any human language. Adam's dominion never used oxygen, neither did the fish of the sea or the animals, nor did the trees need carbon dioxide. They lived on the atmosphere of God. So when Adam fell his whole dominion fell. Before that trees never died and never shed their leaves. 139 Adam was the largest farmer that ever farmed the earth, that is, be-
fore the fall. His farm was approximately five times the size of the
United States and in Adam's anionic body he was not limited by time or space. He could go great distances instantaneously. This is hard for us to conceive of now. Suppose you wanted to make a telephone call from where you live to the farthest opposite city on the North Ameri-can Continent. You could go there and tend to the business and come
back quicker than you could get a telephone call through. This gives an idea of how fast the anionic body can move. An anionic body could be all over the Garden of Eden each day.
When Adam and Eve began to breathe oxygen their body chemis-
try changed and they had cations, which meant a loss of mineral, which meant a loss of energy. When the earth was young there were minerals everywhere and the people lived to an old age. Adam lived 920 years and Methuselah lived 969 years.
When the three Hebrew children, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-
nego refused to bow to the golden image set up by King Nebuchad-nezzar, they were bound and cast into a burning, fiery furnace. It had been heated "seven times more than it was wont to be heated." The flame of the fire slew the men who placed them in the furnace, yet when the king looked, he said, "Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have  no hurt; and the form of the fourth
is like the Son of God." When they came out their clothes were not burned, or even smelled of smoke.
When Elijah was taken up to heaven in a flaming chariot-a chariot
of fire-bears out what I'm saying about the temperature of God, the Father and the Son.
When Jesus was crucified a sword was thrust in His side and His
blood and water ran out. He shed the last drop of blood He had for your sins and my sins and then was buried, and on the third day He arose again. He went down in a cationic body and He arose in an ani-onic body like Adam and Eve had in the Garden of Eden before the fall.
Let's compare the cationic body we have and the anionic body our
first parents had. Whenever we eat food it has to be mixed with the sa-140 liva in our mouth, then it goes to the stomach where it is digested by
the gastric juices manufactured by the liver and the pancreas, and we
live off of' the energy of the food we eat, and the excess of this food is passed out of our system, excreted from our body, and there is decay. This food that passes out of the body is in the state of decay.
Leaves fall from the trees and decay. When animals die they de-
cay. This is because we are living in the oxygenic age. But in the Gar-
den of Eden, before the fall, Adam and Eve ate fruit, but the fruit was digested by the heat of their own bodies and the energy, or heat and electrical energy, went right out of their bodies. They had absorbed the total amount of energy that was in their food and therefore there was no decay. Like putting wood into a stove and the stove giving off heat, and yet there was no smoke. There were no bowel movements. They didn't have to urinate. There were no tears. There was no death. They were living in the age of eternity, in which there was no time.
Jesus, after He arose from the dead met with some of the disciples
and ate fish. That fish He ate went off as heat energy and electrical energy because He had no blood. There is no constant frequency in the blood, it is only our cationic flesh that has frequency. I Corinthians 15:50 tells us that flesh and blood shall not inherit the Kingdom of
God. Therefore, it cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. So we will have a flesh but not the cationic flesh. We will have an anionic flesh, and we too will again be clothed in light which will appear as a white raiment.
There is another important factor that bears out this biological sci-
ence of the resurrection given in the Bible. Hell is fire and brimstone.
Any high school student who has studied chemistry knows that brim-stone is sulphur, and that sulphur bums at 720 degrees centigrade, and that sulphur casts off heat fumes which displaces oxygen, which would make it impossible for anything that breathes oxygen to live.
Let us draw a conclusion now that heaven is hotter than hell, but
the saints can walk through hell and not even need a fan as their body temperature is 980 degrees, and hell only has a temperature of 720 de-grees. So we will then have become like the Father again, as Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden. 141 Satan tries to make everyone fear death. He tells big lies about
death. He tells you that when you ar e dead you are going to be dead a
long time. That is not so. In death there is no time. The person that died in Abraham's day, or before, will not have been dead any longer than the person who dies one hour before Jesus comes, because out there,


 holistic/biological dental
organizations where I continued my education of the relationship of the teeth to the rest of the body.
Conventional dentists view the teeth and dental health as unrelated to the rest of the body, so they
cannot teach their patients any holistic practices that can help save their teeth. However, your entire
body is connected to your mouth. There are meridians, energy channels, and biological pathways such
as nerves, veins and arteries that run through your entire body, connecting everything. I hope to seemore preservative dentistry or minimally invasive dentistry in the future. In the holistic approach we
examine the effects of dental materials on the whole body both chemically and electromagnetically.
The end point of a meridian (bioelectrical pathway) is a tooth and what happens to that tooth and
related structures can affect the bioelectrical stability of the meridian and all glands and organs
associated with that meridian. An infected tooth can therefore also affect a gland at a distant site. An
infection or inflammation in the mouth can create a systemic (whole body) inflammation or infection.
This whole body inflammation cannot be cleared until the condition of the mouth is addressed first.
The immune system, minerals and hormones also interact with the tooth and related structures.
Cure Tooth Decay is an island of clarity in a sea of confusion as it provides you with practical insight
into how hormones control the decay process and what you can do to master the process with lifestyle
choices. I have observed that when my patients followed the recommendations outlined in this book
they created an anabolic drive to rebuild tissue by replenishing and balancing irregular levels of
hormones. As a result, they were able to actually stop, prevent and even reverse the deterioration.
Perhaps the greatest strength of Cure Tooth Decay is that so many disciplines are brought together in a
comprehensive package. The pioneering works of Drs. Francis Pottenger, Weston Price, and Melvin
Page are presented in a way that highlights their convergent messages. Until this book, dentists have
had a hard time bringing holistic dentistry concepts together in a way that is both practical and easy
for the public to use. Cure Tooth Decay gives the reader a comparative presentation of the different
concepts of tooth decay. It embraces new concepts and modern trends together in one elegant text.
Your diet is the key to creating a healthy mouth. There is no other way about it. This is the key issue,
and the central theme of Cure Tooth Decay. When people eat too many processed foods, especially
sugar and flour products, they wreak havoc on the body. Insulin levels spike, cortisol goes up, and the
flow of parotid gland hormone changes, resulting in cavities. When you consume too much sugar, the
hormones that control tooth mineralization change for the worse. When you have adequate healthy
hormones, the tooth is healthy and is engaged in the process of maintaining and building healthy tooth
structure, through the process of mineralization. When you don’t have a good diet, your body’s ability
to repair and maintain healthy teeth and gums is severely limited. And the result is tooth destruction,
or demineralization. If you learn one thing from this book, it should be that eating too much processed
sugar and flour products upsets the entire hormone system. This not only sets you up for tooth decay
or gum disease, but makes your entire body overly acidic. In the acidic state, harmful bacteria and
fungi can thrive.
When people are stressed they often crave comfort foods such as sugar and starch (flour products).
The metabolism of an individual who craves sugar is generally in a sugar burning, rather than fat
burning mode to produce energy. If people stay off the sugar for seven days and consume adequate
amounts of the good saturated fats, they lose their cravings for sugar and their tooth problems
significantly improve. After they have stabilized and lost their sugar craving they can have only low
sugar fruits: green apple, pear, kiwi and berries (no sugar on top!). If you are susceptible to tooth
decay, stay away from all sweet fruits; many of them have all been hybridized to make them as sweet
as possible. I once stayed away from all fruits for a period of time, then I bit into a Fuji apple—it
tasted like candy!
Cure Tooth Decay is nothing short of a lifesaver for people. The protocol in this book is veryeffective for preventing cavities and mineralizing teeth. Beyond that, I would expect people to
experience increased vitality and vibrancy due to the increased intake of nourishing vitamins and
minerals.
Cure Tooth Decay is a godsend for people; I cannot say it enough. It helps readers fully understand
how modern, devitalized food causes disease. As a dentist, I know that you don’t want to spend so
much money on your dental care. I am therefore rooting for all of you to change your lifestyles for the
better so that you won’t have to. The nutritional approach to treating cavities works! This means
people will need fewer fillings in their teeth, and they will walk away much happier from their dental
visits. There’s nothing better than keeping one’s original teeth. Wishing you a happy smile and a
satisfying visit to the dentist, with no new cavities!
Timothy Gallagher D.D.S.
President, Holistic Dental Association,
Sunnyvale, California* * *Introduction
Prepare yourself to be a part of the transformation of dentistry. By learning to utilize nutritional
wisdom to support the health of your teeth and gums, you will become one of a growing number of
people who will naturally remineralize and repair existing dental caries as well as prevent future
cavities from developing. And that change, that step towards dental health, begins with your next bite
of food.
The purpose
of this book is to empower you to take full control of your dental health, and to help you
create a feeling of safety regarding tooth decay.
Cure Tooth Decay
is the result of five years of research and trial and error. Many people have
reported positive results from applying the highly potent tooth remineralization guidelines in this
book. You too can hope to achieve the following:

avoid root canals by healing your teeth
stop cavities - sometimes instantaneously
regrow secondary dentin
form new tooth enamel
avoid or minimize gum loss
heal and repair tooth infections
only use dental treatments when medically necessary
save your mouth from thousands of dollars of unneeded dental procedures
increase your overall health and vitality.100% Real Dental Healing Testimonials
Leroy from Utah
I was ready to have the tooth pulled and a dentist told me I needed a root canal. I had no
money for either procedure. I was in pain and my cheek had already begun to swell. But
after over a month of following the dietary protocols it was hard for me to feel which
tooth was bothering me. Thanks a million, Ramiel. Unbelievable.
Ms. Steuernol from Alberta, Canada
I had several very painful cavities postpartum (after having twins) that kept me up all
night in pain and made it so I could barely eat. I could see the decay progressing as well
in some of my teeth. After following the advice in this book my tooth pain subsided
within 24 hours and no longer hurt at all, my teeth also look nicer and my gums no
longer bleed and are a nice pink color. I went to the dentist and there was secondary
dentin forming in my decaying teeth (as seen in my x-rays). The dentist was impressed.
Mike from Ashland, Oregon
The practical advice in this book really seems to be reversing my tooth
decay!!!Halleluiah, brother!!! The dentist wanted me to have two major root canals
immediately and two other teeth filled. When I asked him if there was anything I could
do with nutrition or supplements to get my teeth to heal, he said "maybe you could slow
the decay down a little bit" but that essentially the answer was NO. That dental visit was
three months ago and my teeth have stopped aching altogether, are way less temperature
sensitive, and feel generally stronger. Most of us have been totally disempowered
regarding the health of our teeth. This information has changed that for me. I bought the
book for $28. What a bargain! The dental work was going to cost well over $4,000.00.
Think I'm excited? You will be too if you use this info to take tooth health into your own
hands!
These seemingly amazing results are not miracles, even though to the individual it can feel like it.
These results come from understanding and abiding by our bodies’ biochemical and physiological
laws for building healthy teeth and bones.
These rules are not mine. They belong to Nature. I have synthesized these natural laws from my own
experiences of trial and error along with lifetimes of research by some of the world’s most influential
dentists and health researchers, many of whom have been forgotten by history. These include dentists
Weston Price and Melvin Page, and Professors Edward and May Mellanby. What I admire so much
about these researchers is that they don’t just propose theories; they have each spent dozens of years
treating and preventing people’s cavities successfully with diet. Furthermore,
Cure Tooth Decay
synthesizes published but forgotten research from dozens of dentists, scientists and researchers to
help you overcome the problem of dental decay.Pioneering Tooth Cavity Remineralization
In my younger years, I never spent much time thinking about teeth. More recently I assumed that my
good diet would keep me free from cavities for my entire life

7DMSO in Malignancy
DMSO AND NEOPLASIA
Neoplasia is characterized by populations of precursor cells with the ability to grow
or divide abnormally. This growth of cells exceeds those of normal tissues around them, which can persist in the same excessive manner even when the promoting stimulus has dissipated.
The abnormal growth can create a tumor or mass that can be classified as benign,
premalignant, or malignant and can also result in nontumor proliferation of imma -
ture white blood cells, such as those seen in leukemia.
1 The malignant neoplastic
cells primarily result from damage to DNA, which originates from a variety of endogenous (inside the body) or exogenous (outside the body) sources.
2 Whatever
the source of the stimulus, there is a deficiency in the DNA repair damage system, which can lead to DNA mutations and progression of the malignant process.
2
An enhanced understanding in the past 50 years of the transformational process
of neoplastic cancer cells that mediate their recruitment, activation, programming, and persistence presents interesting new targets for anticancer therapy.
3
Cryoprotective agents such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) are reported to induce
erythroid differentiation of Friend leukemic cells in vitro.4 Since malignant cells are
known to have the capacity to differentiate into benign cells,5 chemical agents that
can induce such cell differentiation are frequently associated with a decrease in, or a loss of, malignant potential.
5
The complex problem of how to study and treat leukemia took a giant step for -
ward in 1966, when a virus-induced erythroleukemic cell line in mice was estab -
lished in the laboratories of Friend et al.6
FRIEND LEUKEMIA CELLS
The observations obtained in subsequent years using Friend’s virus-induced eryth -
roleukemic cell line suggested that it might be possible to treat malignant disease by inducing the differentiation of the tumor cells in vivo.
7,8 The Friend leukemia system
provided an excellent model for testing this concept. Friend leukemia cells (FLCs) can be induced to differentiate in vitro  by any one of a number of cryoprotective
compounds, DMSO being the most notable of that group.
9 This FLC line has pro -
vided a mother lode of experiments in cancer research and is still in use today in the study of cell differentiation.
When FLC is inoculated intravenously into mice, malignant disease develops
from leukemic cell infiltration of the spleen, bone marrow, liver, and lymph nodes.
9
When FLC is inoculated locally by subcutaneous injection into mice, the cells 124 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
develop into a tumor, which has the characteristics of a myeloblastoma.9 Most of
these animals die when the tumor spreads to other tissues.
DMSO has been shown to be a prototypical inducer of cell differentiation whose
activity was discovered when it was exposed to FLC, providing the first example of a
nonphysiological chemical agent that possessed the ability to reverse the differentia -
tion block imposed in leukemia cells.10
Studies in the 1970s indicated that induced differentiation found in vitro  by dif -
ferentiating agents, including DMSO, could have potential to the treatment of malig -
nant disease in vivo. To prove this point, many experiments were designed using FLC
and DMSO to see whether malignant cell differentiation could be turned benign.10
Thus, the hunt for an ideal chemotherapeutic agent was begun. Such an agent would act selectively to program cancer cells to die, as suggested by Basile et al.
11
For example, those early studies were able to show that both neuroblastoma cells
and cells of certain leukemias can be made to mature when treated with certain naturally occurring substances, such as nerve growth factor.
12,13
An experiment using undifferentiated proerythroblasts obtained from a Friend
erythroleukemic cell line was used to test DMSO differentiation in vitro. In the
absence of DMSO, some gigantic cells and many undifferentiated cells were seen in culture. With the addition of DMSO to cultures, striking morphological changes were seen as cells became smaller, the nuclear–cytoplasmic ratio and nucleoli reduced, and the formation of many differentiated normoblasts occurred, suggesting that cell maturation from DMSO exposure took place, preventing these cells from turning malignant.
14
In another example, the potential by DMSO to modify leukemia cells was shown.
Human acute myelogenous leukemia originates from pluripotent stem cells that transform into neoplastic cells.
15 A major phenotypic abnormality of these leukemia
cells is their inability to differentiate to functional mature cells at the myeloblast or promyelocyte stage. Leukemic patients with this condition usually die of infection, because blast cells do not mature to their functional end cells, allowing the leukemic cells to rapidly multiply in the system.
15
More recently, it has been found that Friend erythroleukemia cells differenti -
ated by DMSO can produce hemoglobin and turn malignant cells into orthochro -
matic normoblasts.16 DMSO-treated erythroleukemic cells undergo an irreversible
pathway to maturation and, in that process, produce globin mRNA and accumulate large amounts of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin accumulation in FLC differentiated by DMSO is needed for the erythroid maturation process.
17 What is of interest is that
treated cells express an ability to remember (so-called memory response) the previ -
ous exposure to the DMSO treatment and to continue their differentiation even after the DMSO exposure has been discontinued.
17 This terminal maturation process of
erythroid cells and hemoglobin synthesis remains to be further

 herbal tradition that is part
of it developed separately from Chinese folk medicine. It arose from ideas recorded between 200 bce and 100 ce in the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine (Huang Di Nei Jing). This text is based on detailed observations of nature and a deep understanding of the way that all life is subject to natural laws. It contains concepts that are fundamental to TCM, including yin and yang ; the five elements (wu xing); and the theory of the
effect of nature upon health. In TCM, living in harmony with these principles is the key to good health
and longevity. According to the Yellow Emperor’s Classic, members of previous generations lived for a hundred years, and had constitutions so strong that illness was cured by incantations alone. Only later, as human vitality, or qi, declined and people became “overactive…going against the joy of life,” did herbal medicine, acupuncture, and other branches of TCM become necessary.
Key Theories
Unlike other herbal traditions that have a unified theory for making sense of illness and disease (for example, the European theory of the four humors), TCM has two quite different systems—the yin and yang  theory
and the five elements. They developed quite separately in China, and the five elements system was only accepted and fully incorporated into Chinese China, Japan, and
Southeast Asia
China’s ancient herbal tradition has survived intact into the
21st century, and in China it is now accorded equal status with
Western conventional medicine. Today, many Chinese universities teach and research herbal medicine, a factor of crucial importance
in the reemergence of herbalism worldwide.
On the streets of Hong Kong herbal pharmacists are a familiar sight. Prescriptions are formulated during a
consultation with an herbalist, and the patient then obtains the appropriate herbs.Jing jie

p. 224) is an aromatic
herb used to treat
depression.medicine during the Song dynasty (960–1279 ce). To this day, differences
between these theories are reflected in practitioners’ approaches to
diagnosis and treatment.
 In Chinese thought, everything in the universe is composed of yin and
yang—words that were first used to denote the dark and light side of a
valley. Everything has yin and yang aspects, or complementary opposites—
such as day and night, up and down, wet and dry. Every yin or yang category
can itself also be subdivided—so that while the front of the body is yin
relative to the back, which is yang, the abdomen is yin relative to the chest,
which is yang.
 The five elements theory associates constituents of the natural
world—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water—with other fundamentals
such as seasons, emotions, and parts of the body. Each element gives rise to
the next in a perpetual fashion ( see diagram above). For this reason, the
system might be more accurately described as the five phases,
representing the process of continual movement in life. The five elements
have a central role in Chinese herbal medicine, especially in the grouping of
tastes of herbs and parts of the body.
Diagnosis & Treatment
Instead of looking for causes of illness, Chinese practitioners seek patterns
of disharmony, which are expressions of imbalance between yin and yang.
Particular attention is given to reading the pulse and tongue, both of which
are very important for an accurate diagnosis. Ill health results from a
deficiency or excess of either yin or yang. A cold, for example, is not just
the result of a virus (though this clearly is a cause), but a sign that the body
is not adapting to external factors such as “wind-heat,” “wind-cold,” or
“summer-heat.” A high temperature denotes too much yang and shivering The ancient five elements theory  is used by the Chinese when writing prescriptions. It associates herbs
with the natural world, including elements, seasons, and parts of the body. In the circular movement,
each element gives rise to the next (for example, winter gives rise to spring). The five-angled movement
is a controlling one, in which each element restrains another.MEtal

and between the patient and the world at large.
Chinese Herbs
Over the centuries, the number of medicinal herbs has grown, and the 1977 Encyclopedia of Traditional Chinese Medicinal Substances has 5,757
entries, the majority of which are herbs. The Communist Revolution in 1949 helped swell the number of plants used in TCM, because herbs that had previously only been employed in folk medicine were incorporated into the tradition. As the herbal tradition developed within TCM, the taste and other
characteristics of herbs became closely linked with their therapeutic uses. The Divine Husbandman’s Classic (Shen’nong Bencaojing, 1st century ce) lists 252 herbal medicines specifying their tastes and “temperatures,” and today, Chinese herbalists still relate the taste and temperature of an herb directly
to its therapeutic use. Sweet-tasting herbs such as ginseng (Panax ginseng, p. 118) are prescribed to tone, harmonize, and moisten, while bitter- tasting herbs such as dan shen ( Salvia
miltiorrhiza, p. 130) are employed  to drain and dry excess “dampness.” Hot-tasting herbs are used for treating “cold” conditions and vice versa. Together, an herb’s taste and temperature link it to specific types of illness. For example, Baical skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis, p. 134), which
is bitter-tasting and “cold,” is a drying, cooling herb for conditions such


uents  American ginseng contains
steroidal saponins, including panaquilon.
History & Folklore  Native American peoples
may have considered this herb a means to increase
female fertility. From the mid-18th century, the collection of the herb for export to China became a virtual goldrush, with so many Native Americans out harvesting American ginseng that settlers reported finding villages almost deserted. The Ojibwa people always planted a seed to replace  the herb, but this was not universal practice. American ginseng became rare toward the end
of the 19th century.
Medicinal Actions & Uses  The action of
American ginseng is presumed to be similar to,  but milder than, that of its Chinese cousin, ginseng  (P. ginseng, p. 118). American ginseng increases the ability to tolerate stress of all kinds. In traditional Chinese medicine, American ginseng is employed as a yin tonic, treating weakness, fever, wheezing, and coughs.
Related Species  See ginseng, nototginseng
(P. notoginseng, preceding entry), and Siberian
ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus, p. 94).
Caution  Do not take American ginseng
during pregnancy.Chiefly employed as a mild pain reliever and as a treatment for irritable coughs, red poppy also helps reduce nervous overactivity. The herb may be used in the treatment of insomnia, general irritability, coughs—especially paroxysmal coughs—and asthma, and is generally given as a syrup.
Related Species  See also opium poppy
(P. somniferum, following entry), Mexican poppy
(Argemone mexicana, p. 171), and California poppy
(Eschscholzia californica, p. 207).
 QCautions  Use only under professional
supervision. All parts of red poppy except the seeds are potentially toxic if eaten.
Papaver somniferum
(Papaveraceae)
Opium Poppy
Description  Thick-stemmed annual growing
to about 3 ft (1 m). Has many dull green leaves,
solitary pink, purple or white flowers, and globe-shaped seed capsules.
Habitat & Cultivation  Native to western
Asia, opium poppy is now cultivated commercially around the world as the source of morphine and codeine, and as an illegal crop for the production of opium and heroin. During the summer, the seed capsules are cut and the white latex that exudes is gathered the next day and dried.
Part Used  Latex.
Constituents  Opium poppy contains more
than 40 opium alkaloids, including morphine  (up to 20%), narcotine (about 5%), codeine
(about 1%), and papaverine (about 1%). It also contains meconic acid, albumin, mucilage, sugars, resin, and wax. Many of the opium poppy’s
alkaloids have a well-established therapeutic
action. Morphine is one of the most powerful analgesics of all, used extensively in conventional medicine to relieve pain, especially in terminal illness. Codeine is a milder analgesic used for headaches and other pain, and in the symptomatic treatment of diarrhea. Opium’s strongly addictive nature is well established.
History & Folklore  Cultivated for its
medicinal properties for at least 4,000 years,
the opium poppy was introduced to Greece about 3,000 years ago, and from there spread throughout Europe. It was unknown in China
until the 7th century ce, and in Japan until the 15th century. It is mentioned in the Assyrian herbals (c. 1700 bce), and the Greek physician Dioscorides (40–90 ce) wrote that “a decoction of the leaves and flowerheads if drunk and bathed on the head is unrivaled in inducing sleep. The mashed heads, mixed with flour, make a useful plaster in inflammations and St. Anthony’s fire [erysipelas, a bacterial infection of the skin].”Medicinal Actions & Uses  Opium (the
dried latex) is a potent narcotic, analgesic, and antispasmodic, and has been taken to relieve pain of various kinds. In all the main herbal traditions it is regarded as a powerfully “cold” remedy, reducing physical function and sedating or suppressing nervous activity, pain, and coughs. In view of its addictive nature, opium is mainly used after other less powerful analgesics have failed to bring relief. It is also an effective remedy for acute diarrhea and severe coughs. Pharmaceutical drugs produced from opium poppy include morphine and codeine.
Research  Much research has been done,
confirming most of the uses of opium poppy  listed above.
Related Species  See also red poppy
(P. rhoeas, preceding entry), Mexican poppy
(Argemone mexicana, p. 171), and California
poppy ( Eschscholzia californica, p. 207).
 QCautions  Use opium poppy only under
professional supervision. It is subject to legal restrictions in most countries.
Opium poppy’s seed
capsules contain a
latex that is the source
of morphine.Papaver rhoeas (Papaveraceae)
Red Poppy
Description  Delicate hairy-stemmed annual
growing to 3 ft (90 cm). Has basal rosette of
lance-shaped leaves and deeply incised stem
leaves, 4-petaled red flowers with black anthers, and small rounded seed capsules.
Habitat & Cultivation  Red poppy is native
to Europe, North Africa, and temperate regions of Asia, and is naturalized in North and South America. It thrives on cultivated land and on
road verges. The flowers are picked in summer.
Parts Used  Flowers.
Constituents  Red poppy contains alkaloids
(including papaverine, rhoeadine, isorhoeadine, and many others), meconic acid, mekocyanin, mucilage, and tannin. The alkaloids are similar to those in the opium poppy (P. somniferum, see following entry), but are much milder.
History & Folklore  According to Agnus
Castus, writing in the 14th century, “If a man hawe ony peyne aboutyn his eyne or if a man hawe a mygreyn tak this herb and stamp it and nedle it with oyle de olywe and anoynt ther-with the forhed and it schal amende the syth and slake
the peyne and distroye the mygreyn.”
Medicinal Actions & Uses  Red poppy
flowers are mildly analgesic and sedative, and
have long been used in European herbal medicine, particularly for ailments in children and the elderly. Flowerhead

Pellitory-of-the-Wall
Description  Annual growing to 28 in (70 cm).
Has deep green leaves, greenish flowers, and small
dark seeds.
Habitat & Cultivation  Native to Europe,
this plant is commonplace in southern countries,
where it is found on walls and in dry stony sites.
It is gathered in summer when in flower.
Parts Used  Aerial parts.
Constituents  Pellitory-of-the-wall contains
flavonoids and tannins.
History & Folklore  For more than 2,000
years, pellitory-of-the-wall has been valued as a
diuretic, as a soother of chronic coughs, and as
a balm for wounds and burns.
Medicinal Actions & Uses  Pellitory-of-the
wall is chiefly employed as a diuretic, demulcent,
and stone-preventing herb. In European herbal
medicine, it is regarded as having a restorative
action on the kidneys, supporting and strengthening
their function. It has been prescribed for conditions
such as nephritis, pyelitis (inflammation of the
kidney), kidney stones, renal colic (pain caused
by kidney stones), cystitis, and edema (fluid
retention). It is also occasionally taken as a laxative.
Caution  Do not take if suffering from hay fever
or other allergies.Medicinal Actions & Uses  Guarana’s
medicinal uses are similar to those of coffee
(Coffea arabica, p. 192)—it is taken for headache
and migraine, for mild depression, and to boost
energy levels. The problems that apply to long-
term or excessive consumption of coffee also
apply to guarana—both stimulate over the short
term but tend to inhibit the body’s restorative
processes over the longer term. In view of
guarana’s high tannin content, long-term use
is even less advisable, because tannins impair
the intestines’ ability to absorb nutrients.
Nevertheless, guarana is a useful short-term
remedy for boosting energy, or for treating
a tension headache that cannot be treated
with rest. Guarana’s astringency also treats
chronic diarrhea.

A
	boy	of	fifteen	is	standing	on	a	high	green	hill	overlooking	a	valley.	The
valley	is	even	more	green	and	lush.	It	rolls	away	in	wave	after	wave	until	the
boy	thinks	it	must	never	end.
“Do	you	see?”	a	voice	says.
The	boy	turns,	and	next	to	him	an	old	man	is	standing.	The	old	man	has	a
long	white	beard,	and	there	is	a	gleam	in	his	eye.
“Yes,	I	see,”	the	boy	says,	but	his	heart	is	beating	so	fast	he	can	hardly
express	himself.
“I	want	you	to	tell	me	what	you	see.	I	have	to	be	sure	you	learned	your
lessons	well,”	the	old	man	says.
Ordinarily	it	would	have	broken	the	boy’s	heart	to	say	good-bye,	because	he
thought	the	old	man	with	the	white	beard	would	be	with	him	forever.
“I	see	that	all	this	is	mine,”	the	boy	says.	“I	belong	to	the	universe,	and	it
belongs	to	me.”	He	stretches	his	arms
	out	as	if	he	could	own	it	all—the	high
hill,	the	green	valley,	the	whole	span	of	years	ahead	of	him.	Somehow,	even
though	it	sounds	impossible,	he	does	own	it	all.
“Never	forget	this,”	the	old	man	says.	He	presses	his	palms	together	and	bows
in	respect,	and	the	boy	bowing	even	deeper,	does	the	same.
And	that’s	the	last	I	saw	of	him.	Because	I	was	the	boy	on	the	hill,	and	in	four
short	days,	the	only	time	we	were	together,	the	old	man	changed	my	life.
Each	day	he	answered	a	question	that	you	are	going	to	read	about	in	this
book:
Do	I	have	a	soul?
How	do	wishes	come	true?
What	is	the	supreme	force	in	the	universe?How	can	I	change	the	world?
These	are	big	questions,	and	when	I	was	young	and	bursting	with	idealism,
they	were	burning	questions.	I	didn’t	just	want	to	know	the	answers—I
had
	to
know.	There	will	always	be	burning	questions	in	life,	but	these	four	remain
special	because	they	start	a	spark,	and	from	that	spark	you	will	have	a	fire	in
your	heart.	That	fire	will	make	you	live	your	life	with	excitement	and	passion.
The	old	man	with	the	white	beard	showed	me	the	spiritual	side	of	life,	where
real	passion	and	excitement
	come	from.	I’m	going	to	tell	you	about	our	days
together,	down	to	the	smallest	detail,	until	you	are	given	what	I	was	given.
Then	you	can	be	transformed	too,	wherever	you	are.	So	before	you	begin,

actively rejected by the medical profession. It is a simple way, practised by all other cultures. At the end of a long life humanly lived, the intimation of death comes with a kindness that robs it of fear. On the contrary, there is a welcome and a reassurance about it.
When death comes sooner, shortcutting the natural span, death can
still be met by a letting go, when a ll hope is gone, by simply fasting
out. For those who have regularly practised the fast in the course of living, there will be the reassurance that this simple act brings with it intimations of transcendence, of purity and glory which thoroughly defy the apparent finalit y of material things. Fasting out
implies abandoning the sacrament of eating for the sacramental act
of dying. The same hallowing, reverential, grateful approach is needed, the same envelopment in  beauty, joy and purity. The
timeless association of the human and the floral should not follow, but precede death; flowers should be for the dying, not for the dead,
the reminder in such wonderful things, that nature is profoundly
humanly attuned, and that wherever the Creation goes, there will its chosen creatures, in rapturous joy and fulfilment, go also.

16. Hints for the Millennium

In happier times, fruits and salads feature more predominately
in the dietary, just as they go out in darker times. The head gardener
of James II, was of the opinion that an ordinary salad should have at least 30 ingredients (mentioned in the Popular Encyclopaedia of
Gardening, by H. H. Thomas and G. Forsyth). The tender roots of
daisy, of fennel, of angelica and campion, as well as of carrot and parsnip were used. Leaves of wild and cultivated plants, whose names are likely to sound foreign to many a city-dweller but which abound, were also popular—dandelion, cowthistle, primrose, violet, tarragon, rocket, sage, hyssop, marigold, marjoram, leek tops,
purslane, cowslip, basil, borage, chevil, daisy, vine and marrow
tendrils, sorrel, scurvy grass, broom  and elder buds and many other
things, procurable without cost by the diligent. Flowers were also added liberally, those of dandelion, angelica, nasturtium, rose, primroses, etc. The happy Elizabethans were especially fond of
salads, and seldom had a meal without one.
Just as fruits should be available at all times, the humanizing
decoration in every room, in ev ery office, and eaten whenever
desired, so the salad should form the artistic focus of every meal. As John Evelyn, the salad authority of the seventeenth century remarked, the picking and preparing of salads is a great and
legitimate art, giving much pl easure and healthfulness in its
practice.
If one has no back garden, many things can be grown from
seeds in boxes, from the common'mustard and cress' to the
germinating shoots of cereals, of wheat, barley, maize. If you buy or
are given roses, eat one! If you are lucky in having something of a
garden, or access to a growable patch, there is no limit to your contribution to health and joy. Ma ny vegetables allowed to flower
make beautiful flowers, e.g., the Jerusalem Artichoke, which,
incidentally, is delicious grated raw with olive oil, giving very much
less wind than when cooked. This is true regarding the artichoke as
well. There are few more beautiful flowers than the enormous nettle
of the artichoke. Cardoons are easier to grow in England than artichokes proper. The hearts are delicious raw, and the leaves can be wrapped with newspaper and blanched, the tips eaten raw and the rest cooked as a delicious vegetable.
To extend the role of fruits, when they are scarce or expensive,
the 'rawcost' of the Scandinavians and the Swiss can be resorted to.
The principle is to batter the fibres of the harder parts of roots and leaves so as to make them approach  the softer consistency of fruits,
enabling them thereby to be eaten in the larger quantities needed for
meeting the needs of vitamin C and bulk generally. Although this
can be done by hand chopping and macerating, there are many mechanical gadgets which save much time.
As earlier mentioned, one should not become geared to a fixed
pattern of eating in a family; even  in entertaining, spontaneity can be left greater opportunities, and meals should be joyfully prolonged
with long intermittences—many courses need be no more than attractive snippets! It is however usually more convenient to prepare
the day's eating after a breakfast of cereal, fruit and light tea or
herbal. The main meal is best taken during the day, not late at night. For those working, fruits and bread and spread can be taken during the day, and the main meal taken on returning, followed by exercise and recreation. Later in the evening, a warmed soup, a light vegetable dish or a cooked fruit pudding should be sufficient.
The main meal should begin with  fruits or rawcost, and end
with them; the salad dish should be  laid as the centrepiece, available
to be dipped into while the ot her courses are eaten. On a natural
diet, one barely needs to drink at meals. It is ill-conceived to drink large amounts of commercial fruit drinks during meals. If wine is
taken on festive occasions, it is not a bad idea to dilute it, and
prepare it as a wine cup, with various herbs, rather than drinking it neat.
A day on fruits is a splendid idea. Once a week should suffice,
but if one begins to feel jaded, irritable, tired, or at the first tremors
of a cold, of an ache, then one should go on fruits, and stay on fruits
for several days if necessary. If one is unwell, the quantity of fruits should be cut down, and fruit jui ces, adequately diluted, taken
instead. In more severe disease, nothing but diluted fruit juice should be taken. Except in chronic overfeeding or advanced degenerative disease, anything more than a short fast is not
recommended.
In looking through the recipe books, one can pick those needing
the least cooking, just as one can usually leave out the more questionable items like eggs, substituting by a flour sauce, or nut or lentil padding. Undue cooking can be avoided by soaking. For
instance, if rice is soaked for 24 hours, it needs little more than a
few minutes simmering. A tasty risotto can be prepared from such rice, by adding finely chopped raw items, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and other vegetables, sprinkled with grated nuts. Those who cannot have their cereals firm, owing to chewing troubles, can further break down soaked grains in a blender.
Lentils, soya and other hard grai ns and seeds, can be similarly
soaked, up to 48 hours and more, acquiring in the process a delicious sweetness. Thus soaked, le ntils will cook adequately in ten
minutes simmering. A useful thickening is provided by semolina, obtainable for making gnocci in several grain sizes. Added to
soaked lentils, mushed cereals or soyas, and lightly cooked, a
sufficiently solid mixture results, wh ich can be used either'sour',
with vegetables and spices, or'sweet', with fruits, or dried fruits. A flour sauce is also useful, obtained  by stirring sufficient wholemeal
flour in oil, cold, to make a creamy paste, followed by gentle heating for two or three minutes, followed by adding water,
vegetable juice or skimmed milk. S our milk can also be used, the
curds resulting beaten down to form a uniform mixture. For a change, wine or cider can be used. Cold or warm sauces, with infinite varieties of taste, can be prepared by making this mixture more dilute.
Do not skimp on uncooked oil; pour it liberally on foods. The
human love of fat is really a love of soft fat, of oil, first relished in mother's milk, and later in the oil plentiful in the germ of seeds and
cereals. It helps to keep the tissues firm and young.
Much harm is done by the popular recipes for slimming,
usually recommending an increase in unnatural foods like meat, and
cutting down on essential human foods like cereals, fruits and oil, with the result that as one becomes more lean, so one becomes more toxic, twisting a few more of the spirals of the degeneracies which will ripen in old age. Body fat is indispensable for health, for the
proper support of organs as for a normal reserve of energy which
the body is designed to carry. But as every farmer knows, a fact
apparently ignored by most human nutritionists, one can decide the kind of fat laid down by the kind of fat eaten, soft or crinkly, streaky or hard. Saturated fats, the fats in all animal foods, lay down hard
fat in the tissues, which deforms th e normal aesthetic lines of organs
and limbs, and accounts for the ugly deformities, layerings and
bulges of even quite young people today. Hard fat further damages the cells in which it is laid.
The soft fat laid down from vegetable oils does


 be accomplished effi
ciently between the brain cells, immune cells and other cells in the body. Why are GAPS patients loosing AA and other fatty acids from their cell
membranes? The reason is not yet clear. However, a lot of research points
in the direction of an enzyme, called Phospholipase A2 or PLA2, whose
function is to release AA from the cell membranes. In GAPS patients this
enzyme is overactive, leaching AA from brain cells leaving them deficient
in this vital fatty acid. There are a number of things which can cause PIA2
overactivity. Bio-toxins coming from bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites
in the gut are usually the major cause. Chronic inflammation in the body
activates PLA2 and we know that GAPS patients have chronic inflamma
tion in their digestive systems. Exposure to heavy metals, pesticides and
other chemicals is known to cause PLA2 overactivity. High levels of insulin,
caused by the consumption of processed carbohydrates and sugars, is also
a strong stimulant for PLA2 activity. Cutting out grains, starch and sugar
will help to preserve a lot of essential fats in the brain of a GAPS patient.
Aspartame, heparin, snake and bee venom, brain injury and lack of oxygen
can induce PLA2 overactivity. Due to this enzyme GAPS patients actively
lose AA and other essential fatty acids from their brains and other tissues in
the body. That is why it is vital to supplement them in large amounts. We
have talked about LA, LNA, EPA, DHA, GLA and their dietary sources.
Where do we get AA from? Here is the surprise: AA comes from meat, eggs
and dairy products. You can not find it anywhere else! The GAPS diet is rich
in these foods and provides large amounts of AA, so vital for GAPS patients
to have. At the same time the GAPS diet cuts out the foods which cause the
loss of AA and other fatty acids from cell membranes-processed carbohy
drates and sugar.
We need both omega-3 and omega-6 oils. However, due to wide con
sumption of sunflower oil, which is quite rich in omega-6, people generally
get more omega-6 than omega-3 oils in their diets, which may predispose
them to various inflammatory diseases. Clinical experience shows that for
people with health problems it is important to have more omega-3 oils
than omega-6 in their diet. The ideal ratio is disputed as it is probably very
individual, but generally it is accepted that 2:1 of omega-3:omega-6 is the
correct ratio in oil blends. For GAPS people it is vital to have not only
parent essential oils (LNA and LA) but their derivatives as well (EPA, DHA
and GLA). That is why it is important to supply not only seed and nut oils,
but fish oils as well.
There are good blends of seed/nut oils available on the market, where
flax oil is the main source of parent omega-3 LNA and evening primrose oil
is the main source of omega-6 LA and GLA. Look for the brands with twice more of omega-3 fatty acids than omega-6. As long as the 2:1 ratio of
omega-3:omega-6 is adhered to, you normally cannot overdose on these
oils. In fact the higher the dose the more health benefits are seen in the
clinical practice. Look for high-quality blended oils which have not been
refined, deodorised or adulterated in any way. Heat, light and oxygen
destroy seed/nut oils very quickly, so theyhave to be supplied in dark glass
bottles and refrigerated at all times. Never use them for cooking. They can
be mixed with cold or warm food to give to the GAPS child or adult.
Apart from the seed/nut oil blends make sure that you supplement EPA
and DHA through good quality cod liver oil and fish oil. These oils are also
highly perishable and should be refrigerated and protected from light and
oxygen.
To summarise on supplementation of fats
GAPS children and adults should have a group of essential oils supple
mented:
1. A good seed/nut oil blend in the ratio of 2:1 of omega-3:omega-6 fatty
acids. It will supply the parent omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Make
sure that the oil is high quality, in dark glass and refrigerated.
Depending on the age of the child start from a very small amount (a
few drops added to the cold/warm food) and slowly build the dose up
to 1-3 tablespoons a day. For children under the age of 18 months 1-2
teaspoons a day are usually enough. For GAPS adults start from a tea
spoon a day and slowly increase to 4-5 tablespoons a day. I recom
mend introducing these oils gradually to avoid any reactions, which
are possible in individuals with severe fatty acids deficiency.
2. Cod  liver oil, which will supply EPA, DHA, vitamin A and vitamin D.
Depending on the age of the child give 1-2 teaspoons a day. For chil
dren under the age of 18 months half a teaspoon is usually enough. It is
sensible to start from a small amount and slowly build up the dose. I
consider cod liver oil an absolute must for GAPS patients, children in
particular, because it supplies them with vitamin A in the most appro
priate biochemical form. Look for detailed information about vitamin
A in the next chapter. An adult should have 2 teaspoons a day or an
equivalent in capsules.
3. Fish oil with higher ratio of EPA to DHA, as more EPA seems to be
beneficial for GAPS patients. There are no toxic levels for these oils. Start from a small amount added to your child's food (not hot) and
slowly build the dose to 1-3 teaspoons a day (up to 1 teaspoon for chil
dren under the age of 24 months). An adult should start from a small
amount and build the dose up to 3-4 teaspoons a day or an equivalent
in capsules.
Make sure that you supplement the oils after food or with food, not on
an empty stomach. If you supplement oils on an empty stomach the gall
bladder would empty its bile into an empty duodenum in order to deal
with the oil, which may cause cramps, belching and nausea.
There are two oils which patients ask about the most, as they contain
both omega-3 and omega-6 fats in considerable amounts. These are hemp
oil and flax seed oil.
Hemp oil is a fairly recent oil on the market. It contains both omega-3
and omega-6 fatty acids in the ratio of 1:3. It is too heavy on omega-6 fatty
acids to be supplemented on its own to GAPS children and adults.
Flax seed oil is too heavy on omega-3 LNA, it contains 4 times as much of
omega-3 as omega- 6 fatty acids and also should not be supplemented on
its own.
Olive oil is a time-proven health-giving food, used by Mediterranean
countries for centuries. The long list of benefits include lowered risk of
heart diseases, healing and anti-inflammatory effects, stimulation of bile
flow, activation of liver enzymes, antioxidant activity, stimulation of pan
creatic enzymes, anti-cancer effects, anti-bacterial and anti-viral activity,
membrane development, cell formation and cell differentiation. Virgin
olive oil has been shown to improve brain cell maturation and function.
And yet it has not got much in the way of essential fatty acids which shows
us that we need much more than just omega-3 and omega-6 oils. It con
tains some LA (omega-6) in a range from 3.5 to 20% and LNA (omega-3)
from 0.1 to 0.6%. It is an excellent source of oleic acid (omega-9), a
monounsaturated fatty acid, which has an ability to strengthen the Thi
arm of the immune system. But the most important elements in olive oil
are its minor components: beta carotene, vitamin E, chlorophyll, squalene,
phytosterols, triterpenic substances, polyphenols and hundreds of others.
Many health-giving properties of olive oil are probably due to these minor
components. However, heat, deodorization, refining, degumming and
other processing destroys and removes these vital substances. That is why
it is very important to buy unrefined extra virgin cold pressed olive oil.
"Virgin" means that the oil has been extracted from whole, undamaged olives without refining. If it does not say on the bottle "virgin" then it is
refined. There is no international standard for cold pressing of oils, so dif
ferent manufacturers mean different things when they say that their oil is
"cold pressed". However, there is a distinct difference intastebetweencold
pressed virgin olive oil and just virginolive oil, so I recommend buying cold
pressed as well as virgin and use it liberally on ready served meals and
salads. It is not a good idea to cook with it, as the heat will destroy the
