, and when we do, we create our own talent, depicting for the world
some particular aspect of the Divine. No one is denied talent except by
themself. When they allow their consciousness to be hemmed in by the ego,they are unable to pull upon subconscious levels for the inspiration and
drive necessary to creative work. Unique individuality is the vehicle which the Secret Self uses for the
manifestation of talent, and is lar gely being stultified by our modern
industrial society. Our education teaches conformity. The industrial machine
needs workers, and workers must be predictable, and predictability, as far as
society is concerned, is best obtained by inculcating the same social
conscience in each person. Consequently, most people live a routine that is
not of their own choosing but has been selected for them by society. Their
opinions also have been given to them by the group, and they accept them
as part of the condition of their lives. All thinking is done for them. They
believe in the political institution that they belong to, the labor union that
they belong to, the state, city, and community that they belong to. They are
unable to make an objective decision about anything they encounter but
react to everything as it af fects their preformed opinions. This egoistic basis
for judging things is completely false and completely static because it does
not allow the individual to grow. Truth in some final analysis may be
absolute, but for the individual it is an individual matter. What is good for
one is not necessarily good for all, but neither is the good of all necessarily
best for the individual. As long as humans continue to live in groups, social conscience will
continue to have a distinct and necessary function, but such social
conscience must make provision for individual growth and responsibility,
for it now tends to defeat itself by making automatons of its adherents. Large industrial firms are finding that the idea box in the plant pays
dividends. When workers are encouraged to think creatively about the
business in which they labor, their mental attitude toward that business is
changed. They not only become more ef ficient in their tasks, but sooner or
later contribute toward the growth of the business. No one is built to put
nuts on bolts all day. That is the task of a machine. But a person may endure
such a job if allowed to pursue means by which it may be done more
efficiently. Naturally the worker will not be disposed to such activity if they
feel that it may result in their being without a job at all, but only if they feel
that they will be rewarded with a better job or a better income.The basic problems in industrial advancement are delineated by the
opposing forces of labor and management. Or ganized labor has grown as a
protection to the worker from exploitation, but its psychological position
has become static. It is lar gely opposed to advances in technology that may
do away with job categories, and “featherbedding” in all industries has
achieved such proportion as to be a distinct burden on ef ficient operation. The solution to ef fective industrial growth is not likely to be found in
organized labor, but rather in an enlightened management which makes its
labor force part of its creative ef fort, rewards each worker on an individual
basis, and allows participation of every member of the or ganization in the
fruits of that or ganization. When such industrial enlightenment finally is
achieved, there will be a unification of labor and management because their
aims will be the same, and each person will have a creative responsibility
toward their work. Productivity

Creative talent demands production. The displacement of ego in favor of
the guidance of the Secret Self results in our being driven to accomplish
tasks that heretofore we would have considered impossible. No mountain is
too high, no wilderness too broad, and the creative soul attuned to the
Divine labors and produces unremittingly. Thomas Carlyle wrote, “Even in
the meanest sorts of labor the whole soul of a man is composed into a kind
of real harmony the instant he sets himself to work. Produce! W ere it but
the pitifullest, infinitesimal fraction of a product, produce it in God’ s
name.”
For the most part we are too inhibited and repressed to be able to express
the personality that is uniquely our own. The ego-controlled nature acts
always in accord with an idea of how people expect it to act. Since it does
not know itself, it does not know how it truly feels, but adopts feelings from
desire-goals rather than from the individuality innate to it. People who
endure all to make money are a classic example of repression andinhibition. They swindle their inferiors and fawn on their superiors, and by
this consequent warping of moral values so completely repress the Secret
Self that it is impossible for them to be creative or spontaneous in any area
of their activity. Making money is not an end in life. Pursuing the god
Mammon has only fatal results. But achievement is one of life’ s primary
aims, and achievement often results in monetary success. T o be what we
naturally are and to live and act as we naturally were created should be the
primary aim of each of us. W e have been put here on earth by a power
greater than we are; we have been manifested in our particular form so as to
reflect in humanity an image of the Divine. W e cannot reflect this image or
do the work natural to us if we become repressed by centering our
consciousness in our egoistic natures. Spontaneity is the secr et of doing things well. W e act in accor d with our
whole natur e when we do things feelingly instead of thinkingly. Reason is
valuable too, but it serves a limited world and a limited knowledge. When
we act only accor ding to r eason, we act with the bar est facts in our
possession. But when we act instinctively and intuitively, we act as an
instrument of the Secr et Self, and behind our action lie all knowledge, all
intelligence, all power. When you ar e spontaneous in your actions and in
your thoughts, you ar e being yourself, and when you ar e being yourself, you
are a hundr ed times mor e effective, mor e joyful, mor e creative than you ar e
when you ar e ordering your life in accor dance with the aims of the surface
mind. The consciously contr olled and intentioned person is suppr essing
their talent, for they ar e suppr essing the action of the Divine within them. No talent ever is exhibited by the conscious mind or ego, and someone
whose life is or dered by them never can be cr eative. Get into the Game

Let yourself go. Shake of f inhibition and fear, and be yourself. Learn to
think and act naturally, spontaneously; harmony and symmetry will enter
your life, and you will discover your inherent talent. Most people never findtheir proper niches simply because they inhibit the talent they possess. It
takes courage to go out on a limb and do the things that are natural. It is
much easier to sit on the sidelines, watch somebody else perform, and
criticize. Monday morning quarterbacks are notorious in football, and in the
world of art it has long been axiomatic that the critic is a frustrated artist. The American writer Fulton Oursler reported:

One winter ’s night, many years ago, when I was no mor e than twenty, I was
belaboring a typewriter in the newsr oom of the Baltimor e American. A copy
boy summoned me to the office of the managing editor, a bald-headed old
walrus with white mustaches like hanging gar dens and a perverse sense of
humor. Leaning back in his swivel chair he asked me:
“Do you play the piano?”
“No, sir.”
“Fiddle?”
“No, sir.”
“Sing?”
“No, sir.”
“Then go up to the L yric and cover the concert. Our music critic just
dropped dead. Y ou’ve got the job.”

If hindsight were foresight, we’d all be kings. It takes little imagination and
absolutely no enterprise to recognize the errors of people who have the
courage to try when the outcome is in doubt. Creative talent carries with it
an element of deepest personal risk. Before we can become a fit vehicle, we
must figuratively hang ourselves from a clif f by our fingertips, suspend
ourselves between life and death. In this psychological position ofawareness of the basic elements of life, we no longer are confused about the
purposes of the Secret Self and are able to pierce quickly the sham and
subterfuge of egoistic action and thought and act always as an instrument of
the Divine. A deep indif ference to the opinions of others existing side by
side with recognition of a common spiritual bond brings to us our true and
unique personality, allowing our whole lives to be an expression of that
particular facet of the Supreme that is best able to manifest through us. Thus we discover our talent. It may be in the arts, the sciences, business,
war, or politics; but wherever we find our niche, we will fit into it as a hand
in a skintight glove, as if we and it were made for each other, and we will
perform our work in such a manner as to be completely indistinguishable
from it. Tempering by Fir e

	soap	opera	props	employed	to	put	it

over,	how	it	was	timed	to	fall	on	the	anniversary	of	FDR’s	death	in	melodramatic

fashion	to	play	on	the	sympathy	and	sentiment,	for	whatever	it	was	worth	to	the

Purse	of	the	American	people	through	the	March	of	Dimes	collection	campaign. I	touched	on	various	aspects	of	the	great	hoax	that	was	being	perpetrated	by	the

seeming	collusion	between	profit	and	progress;	how	NBC	jumped	the	gun	and

broke	the	release	time	by	an	hour;	how	half	a	dozen	giant	pharmaceutical	houses

had	it	ready	for	the	market	even	before	the	fateful	V	day	when	the	great	men	of

science,	medicine	and	the	press	were	invited	to	hear	the	miracle	pronouncement

that	polio	had	been	conquered. I	spoke	of	how	parents	were	fooled	about	what	was	shot	into	their	children	in

order	to	make	the	1954	testing	program	effective;	how	statistics	had	been

handled	to	make	a	good	case	for	the	vaccine;	how	medical	societies	throughout

the	land	were	cautioning	physicians	against	profiteering	and	black	marketing;

how	the	research	wizards	had	studiously	avoided	any	approach	or	premise	that

even	hinted	at	causal	relationships;	how	the	25	million	said	to	have	been	spent

on	its	research	program	had	been	mulct	from	the	American	public	through	the

Polio	Foundation’s	collection	campaigns,	and	how	that	self-same	public	was	the

last	to	be	let	in	on	the	secret;	how	the	favored	drug	houses	had	invested	many

millions	in	new	equipment	and	materials	long	before	the	safety	of	the	vaccine

had	been	publicly	established,	and	how	they	were	outspoken	in	their

expectations	of	increasing	their	investments	tenfold	before	the	year	was	out,	with

even	brighter	prospects	for	the	years	to	come;	how	politicians,	preachers,

physicians,	professional	publicists,	the	press,	and	the	rest	of	the	army	of

panderers	of	the	public	good	all	joined	in	the	hosannas	and	hailed	the	new

Messiah	of	Medicine,	Jonas	Salk,	M. D.,	as	one	of	the	great	benefactors	of
	mankind,	etc.,	etc. And,	like	any	self-respecting	Hygienist	just	must,	when

confronted	with	such	a	stupendous	spectacle	of	studied	scientific	stupidity,	I

dealt	in	a	bit	of	prophecy—yes,	even	at	the	risk	of	being	labeled	a	Hygienic

crank. The	prophecy	was	to	the	effect	that	all	that	glitters	is	not	gold;	that	in	the	present

instance	there	wasn’t	enough	known	about	the	vaccine	to	warrant	or	justify	the

universal	inoculation	program	that	was	to	follow	the	announcement,	enthusiasm

to	the	contrary	notwithstanding;	that	in	my	humble	Hygienist	opinion	the	worst

was	yet	to	come. WELL,	the	prophecy	was	borne	out,	but	all	too	soon—and	with	a	directness	of

action,	or	should	I	say	reaction,	that	in	a	couple	of	weeks	the	fait	accompli	was

threatened	with	fiasco,	and	the	flexuous	mind	of	the	press	was	forced	to	turn	the

ferris	wheel	of	its	imagination	in	all	directions	to	stave	off	the	stench	that

threatened	to	wreck	the	whole	enterprise. The	unexpected	occurrence	of	a	high

percentage	of	afflictions	and	several	deaths	threw	the	whole	program	into	a

tailspin	of	chaos	and	confusion. Frankly	the	whole	country	was	scared	out	of	its

wits—and	with	good	reason. In	fact,	the	first	good	reason	it	had	shown. The

government	called	off	the	mass	inoculations. Towns,	cities	and	states	were	in	a

dither	of	indecision. The	parents	who	early	consented	and	whose	children	had

already	been	given	their	initial	shots	were	living	in	a	vacuum	of	panic	and	dread

anxiety. The	President	stepped	in,	Congressmen	and	Senators	started	calling	for

an	investigation. Salk,	his	colleagues	and	government	officials	were	locked	in

long	hours	of	conference	to	get	at	the	bottom	of	the	bottom	that	had	just	fallen

out	of	their	ill-founded	dreams. The	press	had	a	field	day	of	headlines	that	was	unprecedented	even	in	its	own

mottled	career. Reevaluation	became	the	theme	of	the	delay. One	of	the	vaccine

producing	laboratories	on	the	west	coast	was	made	the	face	saving	scapegoat. The	nobby	Mrs. Hobby	was	run	through	the	grinder	for	being	asleep	at	the

switch	and	even	threatened	with	Luce-ing	her	job. Errors	in	production,	errors	in

government	control	of	testing,	errors	in	the	type	of	preservative	employed	were

screeched	across	the	nation’s	news	wires. All	kinds	of	errors	were	put	forth

except	the	basic	error	of	the	vaccine	itself. The	rest	is	all	history—the	kind	you	buy	at	the	newsstands	every	day—the	kind

the	public	has	been	educated	to	retain	only	until	the	next	edition	comes	out—the

kind	that	has	little	effect	on	the	public	consciousness	because	it	isn’t	allowed	to

set	long	enough	to	take	hold. It	is	now	a	month	and	millions	of	headlines	away. At	the	risk	of	being	called	a

it	is	mean	inflammation. Put	them	all	together	and	they	spell	"Poliomyelitis,"	an

inflammation	of	the	grey	matter	of	the	cord. Current	medical	belief	holds	that

this	inflammatory	condition	of	the	spine	is	brought	about	by	a	group	of	three

viruses	that	are	thought	to	invade	the	human	body	through	portal	openings	in	the

central	nervous	system. Specifically,	the	paralyzing	type	of	polio	is	considered

an	acute	infection	of	the	anterior	horns	of	the	gray	matter	of	the	spinal	cord,

causing	such	damage	and	destruction	to	the	nerve	cells	that	early	paralysis

develops,	the	extent	and	character	of	which	is	determined	by	the	particular	site

of	involvement	and	the	number	of	cells	attacked. It	may	affect	a	single	muscle,	a

discharges	from	the	nose,	throat	and	bowels	of	diseased	persons,	or	carriers	of

hand, the pathological mechanisms  of apoptosis,
such as premature ageing, oncological diseases,
etc., are eliminated.
The apoptosis phenomenon was discovered
relatively recently, in 1972. This became the
most interesting discovery of the last 50 years in
the spheres of biology and medicin e. In modern
terms, apoptosis is a general biological mecha-
nism responsible for the consistency in the num-
bers of cell populations, and the morphogenesis
and culling of defective cells. Regular food intake
and negative ecological situation stand in the
way of this physiological mechanism. According
to our observations, food apoptosis is activated
after 20 hours of dry fasting (if the proper fasting
technique is observed).

Day 7. This day may be one of the most healing
among all the preceding ones.
Powerfu l cleansing and renewal of a person’s
energy occurs in this period.  You may have un-
usual or strange dreams on this day: snakes or
worms coming out of your body, etc. That’s how
we get rid of hex, evil eye and pathological en-
ergy. Dry fasting, first and foremost, is intense
spiritual work, intended to cleanse the soul and
body from entities parasitizing on them; this
work also serves to strengthen willpower and re-
inforce positive thinking.
Dry fasting uses all the organs of the body to
evenly burn anything unfit for its evolution, not
only its mechanical aspect, but spiritual as well.
Thanks to fasting, chakras and energy channels

As far as the physical aspect is concerned, this is
the period of alleviation, emotional uplift, stabi-
lization of bodily functions. Blood pressure sta-
bilizes. Urine acquires a dark brown color; the
cleansing process is underway. In the morning,
conduct cupping massage, abdominal and spinal
self-massage. The average weight loss is 1  kg.
Why do cleansing and energy renewal occur?
During this period, a unique mechanism is acti-
vated - replacement of the old, ‘dead water’ with
the super -quality ‘live water.’ Not only can water
benefit a person, it can also harm them. As is well
known, water is one of the best carriers of energy
information. This is achieved due to the unique
molecular composition of water and variability
of its cluster structure.
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frThus, in 1932 a sensation spread all over the
world. It turned out that besides ordinary water,
there’s also heavy water in nature. In the mole-
cules of such water, hydrogen is replaced with its
isotope — deuterium. Only extremely small
amounts of it exist in nature. But here’s what was
found just recently: heavy water can be present
in the human body as well. Water with an in-
creased concentration of deuterium is also
known as dead water. It is poorly excreted from
the organism and poisons it slowly. According to
some scientists, this is due to the information
poisoning of the water. It is established that if a
thought is heavy, negative, low -frequency, artic-
ulated with great energy, it can eventually redi-
rect hydrogen atoms, making them double up, as
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frit were, making them heavier. This is how ordi-
nary water becomes dead.
It was also proven by scientists that long before
any symptoms of disease appear, local areas of
heavy water — water with incorrect structure,
pathological areas – form in the human organ-
ism. These resemble swamps in the body, where
parasites start actively multiplying. All this leads
to a decrease in local immunity and internal or-
gan damage. We need to be careful when dealing
with water, since our bodies don’t contain ordi-
nary water. The water  inside us is structured.
In our everyday lives, we mainly drink chlorin-
ated, over -boiled water; all modern drinks con-
tain nothing useful for the body. This water,
when it enters the organism, isn’t just directly
excreted through the pores, it goes through  a
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frseries of serious transformations, requiring great
energy expenditures from the organism.  That’s
why excessive consumption of such liquids cre-
ates a large burden on the organism and leads to
a multitude of illnesses. The large amount of
dead, heavy wate r in the organism of a modern
human is a fault. This water doesn’t participate
in the exchange, accumulates and isn’t excreted
by the body. It is heavy ballast, nonviable and in-
active, steadily accumulating in our body. D₃O is
radioactive water. It pushes us towards aging
and death. Many people note that dry fasting is
easier to endure compared to water  fasting, be-
cause of the lack of the feeling of hunger during
it. This, in fact, isn’t surprising. The thing is, wa-
ter outside the organism and assimilated w ater
are two entirely different things. The organism
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frprocesses incoming water molecules, cleans
them of unnecessary information, structures
them and turns them into its own molecules,
possessing the qualities of the given organism.
To do this, just like to  assimilate food, the body
has to spend a certain amount of energy and
time. That’s why dry fasting is most certainly of
more value, because it allows the whole organ-
ism to rest, particularly the digestive tract, which
is the reason why, taking into account all the dry
fasting mechanisms, peptic ulcers can be com-
pletely cured. Another effect is conditioned by
the fact that the organism can’t exist without wa-
ter, which is why it immediately starts using its
reserves – first of all, the excess fat (the organi sm
synthesizes water using oxygen from the air and
hydrogen from the fat tissue), which is very
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.freffective in treatment of obesity. During water
fasting, exogenous water, that is, water from the
outside, enters the organism. And it’s that water
that is the main cleansing factor. In accordance
with the law of biological expediency, in this case
the cell spends a minimum amount of its own
energy, since everything is going smoothly: all
the toxins and poisons dissolve and, figuratively
speaking, the toxins are washed out of the cell
and out of the intercellular space.
But during dry fasting the toxins are burned up,
one might say, in their own furnaces — every cell
starts “a thermonuclear reaction” in the absence
of water. Every cell becomes a mini -furnace, a
mini-reactor for a period of time. But water is
essential, and the cells lose these allowances, es-
pecially the sick and altered ones (that’s why
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frmyomas, mastopathies and ovarian cysts can be
treated so effectively). Under these circum-
stances, the strongest and healthiest cells sur-
vive, and in order to survive, they have to acti-
vate the production of their own super -quality
endogenous water. And this endogenous water
has to be several times better than exogenous
water, once again, in accordance with the law o f
biological expediency. After all, the cell spends a
lot of energy – thus, the product that we get in
the end has to be of a quality that corresponds to
the efforts spent. After all, this isn’t the human
mind, which can make mistakes. This is nature
itself, which has anticipated any scenario and
does everything for life to continue.
Exogenous and endogenous water can be com-
pared to a dirty river where a local chemical

, could even hope to have a  chance of health when utilizing fruit for fuel. Even
so, slow metabolizers are advised to keep fruit to a minimum because it is too h igh in high-glycemic simple carbohydrates. A few
pieces of fruit per week at the very most, are recommended for slow metaboliz ers. Perhaps, they say, serious athletes who also
happen to be very slow metabolizers can eat a bit more fruit. But in genera l, they argue that fruit consumption should simply be
avoided. They claim that it is too easy (and too dangerous) to overeat fruit.
Apparently, according to many teachers, it is a rare individual indeed, wh o is a slow metabolizer.

Metabolism
One reason that this theory fails is that many of those who teach it do n ot know the definition of the word “metabolism.” Here are
some terms that should be useful in this discussion.

Fasting BMR: The “fasting” basal metabolic rate is a measure of the amount of f uel a person utilizes, per unit of time, when
awake and totally at rest. It does not include such functions as physical  activity, daily household chores, or even digestion.
This means no food has been consumed for at least 72 hours and the body requires no di gestive energy. Fasting BMR
accounts for the use of around 1,000 calories per day for most people, though this num ber does tend to be slightly affected
by body size.
BMR: The basal metabolic rate number you are more likely to encounter estima tes the calories consumed for people who
are awake and resting, but not  fasting or abstaining from consuming food. Most people can roughly estimat e this number by
multiplying their body weight by ten.
Metabolism:  W e use the word “metabolism” to mean BMR plus all the activities of  the day. Metabolism is not, in and of
itself, a single function, but rather the sum of all of the catabolic an d anabolic processes that go on within your body. Anabolic
processes are the building activities, those that combine simpler str uctures to form more complex ones. They include growth,
repair, and all of the recombinant chemistry that goes on at the cellul ar and visceral level. Catabolic processes are those that
break complex structures down into simpler ones. Digestion, osteoclastic a ctivity (cells that break down bones), the
conversion of glycogen to glucose, and aging are examples of catabolism in  action.

When we refer to someone as having a “fast metabolism,” we mean that  they require more fuel to perform the same number of
anabolic and catabolic processes as a person with a slow metabolism. This me ans that the fast metabolizers are less efficient in their
use of fuel.
Either way, however, according to most sports physiology texts, the differe nce between fast and slow metabolic rates is very
small indeed. Most texts agree that the BMR rarely varies much more  than about plus or minus 5% from person to person of similar
body size and design. Body surface area, scientists have proven, is the bigg est factor affecting BMR. 82

Activity—not metabolism—governs fuel usage
What truly does affect fuel use is the amount of physical exertion one  performs. A sedentary person may use only 200 calories per
day in performing their daily functions, whereas someone going for a vig orous four-hour hike could use 2,000 calories. Professional
athletes often use 4,000 calories solely for their daily training, and Tour  de France riders are known to use 10,000 to 14,000
calories, or more, on the most intense days of this grueling competition. He nce it is easy to see that the differences in BMR, or
metabolism, as it is commonly but mistakenly referred to, play an exception ally small role in total calorie usage.
At most, BMR variations represent less than 100 calories out of the 2,000 to 4,000 that  most people eat per day. Textbooks
suggest that BMR differences typically account for only one to two per c ent of total calories consumed. This is approximately the
caloric equivalent of one bite of an apple. This certainly is not enough to m ake a noticeable difference in fuel consumption or
preferred fuel sources between even the fastest and the slowest of me tabolizers.
The truly fast metabolizer uses more calories per hour throughout the  day, than the average person does. The more calories
one utilizes in the course of a day, the faster that person's total meta bolism would be.

An Example
For example, we can reasonably estimate that a moderately active, 110-pou nd, 5'4" woman might eat about 2,000 calories per day
and a lightly active man who is 5'10" tall and 150 pounds uses about 2,400 calories. In th is example, the man uses an average of
100 calories per hour.
For the sake of simplicity, we shall call 100 calories per hour (plus or minus  10%) the midrange of metabolic rate. We could
therefore assert that a person who uses, on average, more than 110 calorie s per hour would be termed a fast metabolizer and a
person who uses less than 90 calories per hour would be a slow metabolizer. We cou ld assign people progressively faster and slower metabolic designations the more their calorie usage differed f rom the midrange.
At this point we have come to an unbridgeable contradiction. W e are tol d that fast metabolizers—those people who utilize the
most fuel per hour, are supposedly the very people who will thrive on the high est fat levels in their diet. Meanwhile, we are also
being told that only slow-metabolizing athletes should attempt to utili ze a diet higher in carbohydrates from fruit. Yet we know that
athletes are the very people who have the fastest metabolisms, despite  any variations in their BMR.
To make matters more confusing, scientific research consistently  proves that the more fat you consume, the more your health
will suffer. Somewhere, someone must be wrong in these assertions. It i s not possible to straddle both sides of this fence. Either a
fat-based diet is most healthful or a fruit-based diet is, but it cannot be bot h; and it cannot be one for some people and the other for
other people.
Small cows eat small amounts of food relative to large cows. Active cows  eat more food than their sedentary counterparts, yet
all cows eat essentially the same food. Fruits and vegetables have bee n touted as the ultimate health foods for humans for over a
century, and they have been the primary food of humankind throughout our exi stence, up until the recent past.
Whether you are small or large, active or sedentary, fruits and veget ables remain the optimum foods of choice for fulfilling all
human nutritional needs. If one person needs to consume a greater number  of calories than another person, it simply means that they
must eat a greater quantity of food, not completely different foods.
In case the above is not enough of a contradiction to try to puzzle out, work on thi s one: It has been repeatedly asserted that
most people would experience the greatest levels of health using a diet  that is composed primarily of fats. This assertion is based on
the assumption that most people are fast metabolizers, a premise that ca nnot be true. Whenever we work with large numbers, the
law of averages comes into play. Using the law of averages, a “normal ” or “bell” curve is always formed. In the bell curve, only
about 5 to 10% of the people would truly be classed as fast metabolizers, 5 to 10% would be sl ow metabolizers, and the rest,
roughly 80%, would fall somewhere in the middle. These would be average meta bolizers, not slow and not fast.
Do not be misled by metabolism (or oxidation) mumbo jumbo. Track your fat intake on an y given day and see for yourself just
exactly what percentage of your calories it comprises. Once you do, you wil l understand why so many raw fooders are having
problems. High fat is also the reason that most scientific studies of ra w fooders draw negative conclusions. Is it any wonder that
people have trouble staying healthy on their high-fat raw regimens, or that they find cooked carbohydrates so alluring?
Those who convince unsuspecting new raw fooders to steer clear of fruit  and gorge on fat do succeed in accomplishing one
goal; the creation of nutritional inadequacies. This opens the door for sel ling us nutritional supplements in a vain attempt to
compensate for the very deficiencies that result from consuming a h igh-fat raw diet. Of course, most newcomers want to learn and
are prone to following the advice they are given.

Can I thrive on only raw foods?
No essential nutrient exists in meat, grains, legumes, or dairy tha t is not also available in fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds—
and in a form that is easier to digest. Indeed, many vital nutrients, suc h as soluble fibers and the thousands of phytonutrients, can only
be garnered from plants. Fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens not only con tain sustainable amounts of carbohydrates, protein, and fat,
they also contain them in the percentages, ratios, and forms that are opt imum for human health

A Collection of Gallbladders
Gallbladder cases are rather ho-hum to me; they are quick to respond to
hygienic treatment and easy to resolve. I’ve fixed lots of them. But an inflamedgallbladder is in no way ho-hum to the person afflicted with it. I’ve beenfrequently told that there are no worse pains a body can create than an inflamedgallbladder or the sensations accompanying the passing of a gall stone. I hearfrom kidney patients that passing a kidney stone is worse but I’ve never had apatient who experienced both kinds of stones to give me an honest comparativeevaluation.
The only thing dangerous about simple gallbladder problems is ignoring them
(between the bouts of severe pain they can cause) because then the inflamedgallbladder can involve the liver. I already told the story of how my own motherlost half her liver this way.
The condition is usually caused by a combination of hereditary tendency,
general toxemia, and/or a high-fat diet, especially one high in animal fats. The livermakes bile that is stored in the gallbladder, to be released on demand into thesmall intestine to digest fat. A toxic, overloaded liver makes irritating sediment-containing bile that inflames the gallbladder and forms stones. A high-fat dietforces the liver to make even more of this irritant.
A toxic, overloaded, inflamed, blocked gallbladder is capable of causing an
enormous array of symptoms that can seem to have no connection at all to theircause. In part these same symptoms are caused by a toxic, constipated colonthat, in part, got that way because of poor fat digestion over a long time. Thesesymptoms include: severe back pain; headache; bloating; burping; nausea;insomnia; intestinal gas; generalized aches and pains.
Medical doctors used to remove a troublesome gallbladder without hesitation;
it was an organ they considered to be highly dispensable. Without one, the bileduct takes over as a bladder but its capacity is much smaller so the person’sability to digest fats has been permanently crippled, leading to increased toxemiaand earlier aging if fats are not eliminated from the diet. These days the medicoshave a new, less invasive procedure to eliminate stones; they are vibrated andbroken-up by ultrasonics without major surgery. Inflamed gallbladders are usuallyremoved because gallbladder inflammations resist treatment by antibiotics.
There are several very effective natural gallbladder remedies. The best is a
three week fast, taking the juice of one or two lemons every day, along withcolonics. The lemon juice tends to clear the bile duct. The fast allows thegallbladder to heal from inflammation. In cases that aren’t too severe I have hadvery good results simply eliminating fats from the diet and using a food supplementderived from beet tops called AF Betafood. However, in all these cases, once thegallbladder is no longer “acting up,” the person must stay on a low fat diet. Anyfats they do eat must be vegetable and in small quantities.
By healing their gallbladders and cleansing their colons, several of my clients
have resolved severe, debilitating back pain, pain so severe that the suffers werebecoming bedridden. Medical doctors don’t associate gallbladder disease withback pain.
The Frightening Heart
Heart disease is one of the major causes of death among North Americans. It
evokes images of resuscitation, of desperate races against time, trying to restartan arrested heart before the brain dies. It makes people think of horriblyexpensive surgery, last wills and testaments, terrible, paralyzing pain. Heartdisease is a great profit center for the medical profession.
Most heart problems are very easy to fix by holistic approaches, even many
hereditary weaknesses and malfunctions can be healed, if the work is done beforetoo much organic damage occurs. But it rarely is easy to get the people to takethe necessary medicine; everything in their lives must change—and quickly.
First of all, people with heart problems must rapidly reach and maintain normal
weight. This can be done by fasting or by dietary change, usually by eliminating allfats, sugars and refined starches. Alcohol and tobacco must instantly and foreverbecome only past memories. It is almost as essential to eliminate flesh proteinfoods and dairy. Should that prove entirely too painful, fish in small quantities andonly one or two times a week is tolerable.
For starters, a long fast, especially one involving lots of bed rest, is ideal. This
gives the heart a chance to heal while the body weight is adjusted. A period ofintense rest even without water fasting will accomplish almost as much. Evensomeone with the potential for heart disease who has not yet had a heart attackwould be well-served to spend a month in bed, losing weight on juice, or sitting ina rocker on the porch eating only raw foods. After the weight is down to normalor close to normal and the heart tests stronger, an exercise program should bestarted.
Exercise has to become a religion. A daily aerobic program must be started on
a carefully managed gradient, using the pulse rate as an regulator, at first raisingtheir maximum heart rate to a point just below 150 percent of its resting pulse andkeeping it there for thirty minutes. One can walk, jog, ride a bicycle or use anexercise machine. Actually, everyone should do this, even those with no heartproblems. My husband, who hates the boredom of exercise, enjoys a ski machinein front of the TV while the stock market program is on. He finds the TVinteresting enough that he pays no attention to his workout. Daily aerobic exercisewill strengthen the heart, gradually slowing the heart’s resting pulse rate, indicatingthat the heart has become much stronger, pumping more blood with each pulse.As the resting pulse drops the exercising heartbeat can be increased to double theresting rate.
Highly aggressive, competitive, stress-oriented people have to give up being
adrenaline junkies and learn to relax and assume a laid-back approach to living.Or die soon. An adrenaline junkie is someone that enjoys the feeling they getwhen operating under stress. Stress and the adrenaline it releases produce a kindof a drug-high. Many stressaholics cannot give up their adrenaline addiction whilemaintaining their previous employment and life-style, even though their life is atstake. In this sense they are like alcoholics, who should not take employmenttending bar. To survive for long these people may have to retire or changeprofessions. Stockbrokers may have to become Organic farmers; journalists mayhave to operate a news stand or bookstore, or work part-time covering thesociety page and dog shows. Women frequently turn their family life into a stress-filled drama too.
With heart problems a life extension megavitamin program is essential, even for
twenty somethings if they have heart disease. The sixty milligrams of Co-EnzymeQ-
10 I recommend for the average middle aged person will not be enough for
heart cases; they should take at least 120 milligrams daily and consider up to 250mg. This much Q-
10 greatly boosts the energy output of the heart on a cellular
level. Vitamin E should also be increased, to between 600 and 2,000 iu daily. I
also rebuild diseased hearts with protomorphogens; usually they must stay onprotomorphogens for the rest of their lives. Niacin taken several times a day indoses, sufficient to dilate the capillaries and cause a skin flush (50 to 200milligrams), increases the blood flow to nourish the heart. The amino acid L.Carnitine is also useful by increasing the energy output of the heart much like Co-Enzyme Q-
10.
When I put people on this program, the supplements and other measures
gradually take effect, and over months the patient begins to feel enormouslybetter. Inevitably they come to dislike the side-effects of the various medicationstheir medical doctor has put them on and they begin to wean themselves off ofheart-stimulating poisons like digitalis. Another benefit of my program is thatinevitably, blood pressure also drops to a normal range so if they have been onblood pressure medication they quit that too. Their diuretics also becomeunnecessary. The money they save more than pays for their supplements and thesense of well-being they feel is beyond value.
Other Kinds Of Cancer
There seem to be many other kinds of cancer, at least if you believe the
medical doctors. They divide up cancers and their treatments by their location inthe body and by the type of cancer cells present. I do not see it that way. To me,a cancer is a cancer is a cancer, and there is only one kind: it is an immune systemcollapse, consequence of the deadly triangle of weak spleen, thymus and liver,plus a toxic large intestine and weak pancreas. That organ profile is found in skincancer, prostate cancer, leukemia, brain cancer, cancer of what have you. Howfast or how slowly the cells multiply or spread, where they are located, what thecancer cells look like in a microscope, these are irrelevant factors compared tothe body’s ability to conquer the disease. Or die from it.
If the body’s immune system can stop the growth of the cancers and begin to
turn them back before the cancer cells impinge catastrophically on some vitalfunction, the person can usually survive. Even if the body cannot completelyeliminate all the cancer cells, but regains enough immune function to keep theexisting cancers in permanent check, a person can survive many years with anexisting, stable cancer without undue pain or discomfort. Still having a non-growing tumor after a long


 a scientific reason that proves the explanation of these words to be accurate.
Where the Lord spoke to Peter about the "unclean meats" and told
him to eat thereof, Peter said, "But, Lord, am I to eat the unclean meats?" And God said for him to eat. God was telling Peter to take the message of salvation to the Gentiles. The Gentiles were looked upon then by the Jews  as the black people were by some Americans 40
years ago. Jews  felt that they were so much better than the Gentiles
and that the message of salvation was for the Jew only. This vision was to tell Peter to take the message of salvation to the Gentiles, and does not refer to food. 146 If you take Scripture out of context you can prove anything you
want to prove. But there is no way that you can eat the unclean meats
without reaping a premature grave, and also have a rather sickly jour-ney in so doing. A sick gentile in the New Testament is just as sick as Jew in the Old Testament.
In Isaiah 66: 17 we read: "They that sanctify themselves, and puri-
fy themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together saith the Lord." "For they that sanctify themselves," is like saying: "Many people do it and if they do it, I can too." In other
words, they justify themselves.
This also speaks of our leaders, they are spoken of as being a tree.
In Psalm One we are told "He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers
of water that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." Psalm one is speaking of a man who is happy be-cause he has not listened to the counsel of the ungodly, has not sat in the seat of the scornful, and that he has found favor with God. He is classified as a tree.
A weak person says, "Because this great man eats pork it’s all
right for me." Maybe he's the preacher of the church, a.Sunday school teacher, or a Sunday school superintendent. Holiness means absolute obedience, and sanctification means that  I will walk in the steps of Je-
sus regardless of what it means to me. I will walk a little closer to Him today than I did yesterday so that I may be my brother's keeper.
I love my country and I'll die for it if necessary to preserve the lib-
erty of America. I will not be th reatened by the devil worshippers. I
will do everything I can to keep th e devil worshippers from taking my
children. I will not be threatened by the homosexuals in all of their or-ganizations demanding civil rights. I will do everything I can to keep homosexuals from being school teachers. I will do everything I can to protect the very foundations of the Constitution of this country.
Unless you believe that a religious nation and the Bible are insepa-
rable, you are being deceived. The devil says separate the church from government. If you separate the church from the government then you can control the government and the government can control you and 147 close all the churches. It is impossible to close the churches, separate
the principles of the royal law from the government and retain our lib-
erties.
Let us now stand firm in the faith. Let us now stand firm for liberty. Stand firm for a referendum of all our laws, and obey the rules,
regulations and suggestions given in this chapter.
This chapter does not deal dir ectly with the Reams Biological
Theory of Ionization. However, it has everything to do with your di-gestive system because if you will stand each day for the rights and liberty of yours and others, then your food will digest better. You will become stronger because of the problems that God has given you, and you have laid them at His feet and He has handled them for you, or you will become weaker from running from the problems, and the more you run from the problems the more you will worry about the problem. Worry is found cancerous in all souls.
The Bible says "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it" (Matt. 7: 14). Are you. willing to be among the few, or are you going to be among the masses of lukewarm Christians that will be spewed out of His mouth? When the Lord comes, are you going to be the one who says, "Lord, did I not do this for You?" He is going to say, "Depart from me you cursed, I never knew you." Unless you are ready now to stand up and be counted as a follower of God and proclaim Him before all men, He will not proclaim you before His Heavenly Father (Luke 12:9).
You might ask, "Why do you continue in this field of the healing
arts in the field of diet? Why do you care whether America lives or dies? At your age, does it really matter to you? What IS your motive in defying those people that you say falsely accuse you? What do you hope to gain?"
,Jesus has commanded us to be fishers of men, not only for men s
souls, but for their faith, for their works and for better health. He also said to "show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." This I do, to the best of my knowledge. Also, Jesus said, to seek to know the truth and 148 "the truth would make you free." Then, too, He said in Luke 10 and in
other places in the Bible, "to heal the sick." So this is why I do what I
do. This is why I enjoy the persecution, because I am obeying my Lord and Master. I will serve Him as long as I have breath. If I have liberty I will serve Him wherever I am. If I am confined to a prison then I will start a revival meeting and preach to the lost and serve them with whatever I have. Even though I be persecuted, I will not hate. For I know that those who pers ecute me do not know what they
are doing. There is not enough gold in Fort Knox for me to trade shoes with them. The Bible says, "if they persecute you in one place, flee to another."
Jesus did not have a place to lay His head, neither do I except as
friends offer me a place here and there.
I will do everything in my ability to make America the healthiest
nation on earth, to keep our children from being sick, and from having unnecessary operations. There is a time for operations, but the opera-tions should be a means of last resort.
• Do you not know that all illnesses are caused by a mineral defi-
ciency? The cells simply begin to decay because there are not enough minerals to replace those cells that are worn-out.
• Do you not know that heart attacks are caused because the worn-
out cells are not washed out of the system and the salt within the sys-tem is turning it to urea, which causes the heart to beat too hard and sometimes causes pain in the left arm,  in the chest, and then ends in a
pectoris heart attack? (The word PECTORIS is a Latin word which means pain in the chest. However, I am classifying the word pectoris to mean only a heart attack because of too much urea in the system.)
• When our bodies retain too much salt, the blood vessels lose
their ability to expand and contract and cholesterol forms in them, and it causes the intestines to lose their ability to expand and contract and they form pockets or diverticulitis. Nature is robbing from one part of the intestines to supply mineral for another part.
• This is also the cause of cancer of the bone. There is not enough
mineral to supply the other elements so nature will rob a bone here and there in order to supply the mineral to maintain life. 149 • Women lose their teeth in pregnancy because there is not enough
mineral to supply the bone of the fetu s, so nature takes from the moth-
er in mineral and puts it in the fetu s; consequently, there are cavities.
• Bones break down because the mineral in Our foods are deficient
today.
• A number of diseases today are attributed to lack of minerals and
lack of exercise. We cannot take the roughness and exercise that our forefathers and fathers took. We ride everywhere we go, and conse-quently we do not take enough exercise. Hysterectomies could proba-bly be omitted if women did more walking. Their menopause condi-tions could possibly be prevented in a large measure if there was more walking.
• Cancer of the prostate could like ly almost be eliminated if people
did more walking. By walking we get more minerals from our foods. The more we walk, the more energy we use. If we do more walking than we take in minerals, then walking could do us harm.
• Many of the above mentioned items  have to be under supervision
and under the guidance of instruments that are available to us today. IT IS EASY TO BE WELL!
At the present the RBTI test has not been approved by the drug es-

influence tooth decay. In blood chemistry tests, Dr. Page determined that different types of sugar
consumption cause different fluctuations in blood sugar levels. When blood sugar fluctuates, the
calcium and phosphorus ratios in the blood fluctuate along with it. White sugar produces the most
significant blood sugar fluctuations, which last five hours. Fruit sugar produces fewer fluctuations but
the blood sugar still remains out of balance for five hours. Honey causes even fewer fluctuations and
blood sugar stabilizes after three hours.
10a
 Blood sugar fluctuations can increase blood calcium. This
is because calcium is being pulled from your teeth or your bones depending upon which glands are
strong and which glands are weak in your body. The calcium and phosphorous ratios in your blood
are negatively affected over time by blood sugar fluctuations. Dr. Page found that the combination of
stable blood sugar levels with the correct ratio of calcium and phosphorous in the blood results in
immunity to tooth decay.
11a
The longer your blood sugar is out of control, the longer and more significantly the calcium and
phosphorus ratios are altered, the higher the likelihood of tooth decay. Regardless of whether the
sugar is white sugar or sugar from fruit consumption, it still affects your blood sugar level. If sweet
foods, natural or processed, are consumed several times per day, then the alteration in blood sugar
will be prolonged and consistent. Over time, this will lead to a consistent alteration of blood calcium
and phosphorous levels and likely cause cavities. All sweet foods, no matter how natural, cause
blood sugar fluctuations. How much blood sugar fluctuates is related to the intensity of the sweetness.
Therefore dates, or dried fruit, may cause significantly more blood sugar fluctuations than a fresh
green apple. If sugar is a part of your regular diet, particularly in large amounts, then your blood sugar
level never has much time to recover to normal.While conventional dentistry believes that it is the carbohydrate factor of the food sticking to
teeth that causes cavities, in reality it is the changes of the blood chemistry that cause tooth decay
from sugar. Conventional dentistry advises patients against frequent snacking. Here the ADA writes,
"Frequent snacking on carbohydrate-containing foods can be an invitation to tooth decay."
12a
 Frequent
snacking typically is an invitation for tooth decay, not because snacking itself is bad or wrong, but
because of the types of foods most people choose for snacks. Typical snacks could be: fast foods,
potato chips, candy bars, "health food" bars, breakfast cereals and flour products of every type. Thus
conventional dentistry is partially correct: frequent snacking from sugar-laden convenience foods of
commerce produces tooth decay. Dr. Page found that frequent meals containing vegetables, protein
and fat are beneficial in controlling blood sugar fluctuations. Conventional dentistry is also incorrect
about snacking, because frequent snacking of balancing foods like vegetables, proteins and fats will
not cause tooth decay. Tooth decay has more of a connection to the type of food eaten than to the
frequency of snacking. Wise food choices containing some protein allow you to snack all day long
while inhibiting tooth decay.
Fruit
Fruit, particularly berries, can add to your health. But too much fruit means too much sugar and
that can cause tooth cavities by causing blood sugar fluctuations. Most of the fruit on the store shelves
today is hybridized. For example, an ancient apple was a small sour fruit, which probably needed to
be cooked to be edible. But hundreds and even thousands of years of cultivation, selection, and
hybridization have created apples with high sugar content. While fruit is natural, the high sugar
content of most fruits means that many people cannot eat as much fruit as they want and remain
healthy. Fruit is not a bad food choice, but many people eat too much. Many people have mistakenly
made fruit a staple item of their diets, rather than seeing it as a snack, side dish, or occasional treat.
Fruit is best eaten with fat. Fruit and cream go well together, such as peaches or strawberries
and cream. Some fruit goes well with cheese, such as apples or pears. Some people consume excess
amounts of very sweet fruits. The sugar in these fruits helps calm hunger by providing rapid energy.
But fruit does not give the body sufficient nutrient building blocks like protein. Sweet fruits include
oranges, peaches, grapes and bananas. I highly recommend limiting these very sweet fruits when you
are trying to keep tooth decay at a minimum. Having cavities is a sign that your blood sugar
mechanism is not working optimally, and eating excessive natural sweets will not allow your system
to correct itself. Once your cavities are a distant memory, you could safely eat more sweet fruits. For
some people, cooking all of their fruit before eating is helpful as it transforms the sugars and can
increase digestibility.
Basic fruit recommendations
: Avoid or greatly limit highly sweet fruits like dates, peaches,
pineapples, dried fruit, blueberries and bananas until you do not have tooth decay anymore.
Intermediate fruit recommendations
: Only have fruit once around the middle of the day such
as after lunch. The fruit you do eat should not be too sweet. Examples of less sweet fruits are: sour
berries such as raspberries, as well as kiwi, and green apples.
Advanced fruit recommendations
: If you have bad cavities or want to immediately stop the
rapid process of tooth decay, avoid all sweets and fruits completely.
SweetenersThe work of dentist Melvin Page and the telling photographs of Weston Price show us the
disastrous effects of too much sugar in our diet. The more refined the sugar is, the more it is going to
cause your blood sugar to fluctuate. The more extreme the fluctuation, the more disturbed your
calcium and phosphorous metabolism will be. Fructose-containing sweeteners or sweeteners labeled
as low glycemic may not raise your blood glucose level, but they do raise your blood fructose levels.
The end result is an even deeper disturbance in your calcium and phosphorous balance than that
caused by white sugar. We already have the challenge of obtaining enough minerals in our diet. The
more sweet foods that you eat the less room you will have for mineral- dense foods like vegetables
and nuts.
Safe Sweeteners in Moderation
You can use these sweeteners in moderation when you do not have active tooth decay. If you
have active tooth decay, and painful or sensitive teeth, then make every effort to temporarily avoid all
added sweets. Our current policy at home is to only have sugar from fruit. Once or twice per month
for a sweet dish we use unheated honey, grade B organic maple syrup, and pure cane sugar from
Heavenly Organics™.
Unheated honey
 – Choose honey that states it is unheated, or never heated, on the label. Bees
work very hard to keep their hive at around 93 degrees Fahrenheit. If the hive gets too hot, the bees
abandon the hive. I highly recommend only consuming honey that is harvested at or below 93 degrees.
Honey that is labeled as “raw” but does not state unheated or never heated may have been heated to
much higher temperatures than 93 degrees, and many of the benefits of the honey may be lost. For this
reason, honey is not good for cooking. Despite the claims of some manufacturers of honey, honey does
not prevent tooth decay. It is however an excellent sweetener.
Maple Syrup
 – Grade B organic maple syrup will have your body saying “yes.” Many maple
syrups may contain formaldehyde residue even though the practice of using formaldehyde pellets to
keep tap holes in trees open is currently forbidden. I have felt sick from a generic brand of organic
maple syrup, so choose smaller independent brands that are more likely to be using the best practices.
Real Cane Sugar
 – In ancient Ayurvedic medicine, real sugar such as jaggery is considered a
medicine. But most of the sugar available in the store today is far from medicinal. Most varieties are
excessively processed. Safe forms of sugar are pure cane juice, extracted yourself from the sugar
cane, Heavenly Organics ™ Sugar, or Rapunzel’s Rapadura sugar. As far as I know, other sugars
labeled raw, organic or anything else are likely to be significantly processed, with the minerals
removed. Both cane sugar and maple syrup can be safely used in cooking.
Stevia
 (Use extreme caution) – Stevia is a very sweet herb. You must be extremely careful with
its use because it may have other medicinal properties besides its use as a sweetener. The only stevia
that is safe to use is the minimally processed fresh herb. The fresh stevia is simply dried and
powdered. A stevia concentrate which is a brownish color that simply contains the entire stevia herb
in a more potent form should also be safe. There are many sweeteners made from extracting
components of the stevia leaf and they are dangerous. Be very careful that you do not mistakenly buy a
stevia extract or overly processed product. These extracts of stevia will likely cause significant
imbalances to your glandular system. Likewise do not use stevia that is stored in glycerin.
Refined Sweeteners Can Damage Your TeethThe simple rule I follow for sweeteners is that if the sweetener you are using is not on the above
approved list, and not a sweet whole food like dried fruit, then avoid it. It is important that you
understand that many sweeteners that have been recently introduced into the market, particularly to the
health food market, are highly processed and deceptively labeled. I have had many people plead with


 stroke and human ischemic stroke.
209,210 The medical use of DMSO
in humans is discussed in Chapter 9.
ROLE OF DMSO IN EXPERIMENTAL STROKE
The brain region vascularized by the MCA is the most commonly affected area fol -
lowing a cerebral infarction. The reason is due to the large size of the MCA and the direct flow it receives at an angle from the internal carotid artery (ICA) providing the easiest path for thromboembolism. The MCA is therefore a vessel of choice in studying stroke in animals.
In nonhuman primates, DMSO was studied in 20 rhesus monkeys ( Macaca
mulatta ) subjected to ischemic stroke via a transorbital approach to visualize and
clip the MCA under direct microscopy.
209 The animals were divided into four groups:
(1) shams, surgery but no occlusion (N = 2); (2) saline controls (N = 8), surgery and clipping of the MCA; (3) clipping of the MCA and treated with 3 mg/kg dexametha -
sone (N = 5); (4) clipping of the MCA and treated with DMSO (N = 5) 2.5 g/kg 50% solution mixed in saline. All treatments were given 4 h after occlusion of the MCA with the clip still in place. The occluding Mayfield clip was removed after 16½ h, and a second intravenous dose of dexamethasone or DMSO was repeated for all treated animals 30 min after clip removal. All animals were given a full neuro -
logical examination daily for 7 days following occlusion of the MCA. After 7 days, animals were killed for neurohistological analysis. Arteriograms were taken in all animals before occlusion, 30 min after occlusion, 16½ h after occlusion, and 30 min following unclipping of the MCA ( Figure 8.6). Table 8.2 summarizes the results of
the neurological examination after 16 h with the MCA clip in place and at 7 days following removal of the clip.
209
Mean average cerebral blood flow measured near the MCA prior to clipping was
89 mL/100 g tissue/min. This value dropped by 43%–54% after MCA clipping and essentially returned to preocclusion values with no significant group differences fol -
lowing unclipping. Angiographic changes following MCA occlusion can be summa -
rized as follows. ICA narrowing (arterial spasm?) was seen at the level of the siphon
in all animals 30 min following MCA occlusion ( Figure 8.6). All animals except
two saline controls survived the initial MCA clipping. Postmortem tissue weights
showed DMSO attenuated cerebral tissue edema when compared to dexamethasone or saline controls.165 DMSO in Basic Neuroprotection
After 16½ h and with MCA still occluded, the narrowed carotid was still seen
in the saline- and dexamethasone-treated groups. No narrowing of the ICA was
observed in animals treated with DMSO209 (Figure 8.6).
Reperfusion of the posterior parietal and temporal branches of the MCA was
more pronounced 30 min following unclipping of the MCA in DMSO than in con -
trols or dexamethasone-treated animals. Moreover, brain swelling of the trauma -
tized hemisphere examined at postmortem was moderately high in controls, mildly reduced in the dexamethasone group, and absent in DMSO-treated monkeys.
209
Postmortem histological examination of the ischemic hemisphere revealed less
structural damage of the inferior thalamic peduncle and fewer chromatolytic and

Panels (a), (d), (g) show preocclusion vascularization prior to MCA occlusion. Treatments were given 4 h after clipping the MCA and repeated shortly before clip was removed. At 16½ h after clipping, no blood flow is seen filling the MCA or its branches and severe narrowing of the ICA at the siphon is visible in saline controls and dexamethasone treated (b, h arrow), but no narrowing of ICA is observed in DMSO treated (e arrow). After unclipping at 17½ h, ICA narrowing continues in controls (c bold arrow) and dexamethasone (i bold arrow). No narrowing of ICA seen in DMSO (f bold arrow). In addition, the perical -
losal artery and posterior parietal vasculature is absent in saline controls (c double arrows) and significantly reduced in dexamethasone (i double arrows). In DMSO (f double arrows), these vessels are seen to have recovered substantially as compared to preocclusion arte -

swollen neurons in the pre-occipital cortex and caudate-lentiform region in DMSO-
treated animals when compared to dexamethasone or saline controls. The caudate-lentiform region is an area of the brain supplied by the lenticulostriate branches of the MCA, and because they are end-arteries, the brain regions they feed lack
a significant collateral blood supply.
209 These end-arteries are not only a common
site for thrombosis but are also difficult to treat with thrombolytics because they remain localized to the regions where they terminate, such as the caudate-putamen and internal capsule.
In addition to light microscopic analysis, selective brain tissue regions from all
groups of macaque monkeys were examined by electron microscopy on a blind to treatment basis.
47 Brain sections from the nontraumatized hemisphere showed
no evidence of swelling or distortion of cellular components, including well pres -
ervation of synapses, synaptic vesicles, and unremarkable neuropil. By contrast, the traumatized hemisphere in dexamethasone-treated macaques showed severe swelling of neurons near the MCA occlusion and loss of a clearly delineated plasmalemma.
47
Ribosomes and osmophilic particles were seen to aggregate throughout the fluid-
filled intracellular space, while mitochondria in neurons appeared to be undergoing degenerative changes. Loss of neuronal mitochondria in brain tissue is known to reduce energy synthesis of ATP and make neurons more vulnerable to ischemic damage. Dexamethasone-treated animals also showed swelling of boutons (axon ter -
minals) and considerable loss of synaptic vesicles. These vesicles store neurotrans -
mitters at the axon terminal that are released at the synapse and are essential in propagating nerve impulses between neurons.
Brain sections from DMSO-treated macaques showed swelling of some boutons
and synaptic vesicles within neurons, but the axo-dendritic synaptic contacts revealed TABLE 8.2
