lossofunused faculties, there isanintelligence thatcreates andregresses
faculties involved in pregnancy, lactation and musculature.
Intheparagraph thatfollows, wewillstudy oneway inwhich thebody uses lyso-
somes forspecial purposes. Asyoumay already know,lysosomes arepowerful digestive
enzymes thebody creates, stores anduses. When acellistobescrapped, theoldcellis
autolysed (self-digested) andtheremnants arepassed offaswastes intothelymph and
then intothebloodstream. Thewastes may berecycled inpartandexcreted inpart. The
point here isthatcells have their own “self-destruct” mechanisms intheform oflyso-
somes.
Theprocesses described evince tremendous body intelligence intheir performance.
Thevital domain does nottolerate unneeded baggage. Therefore, itdisposes oftheuse-
lessandthesurplus totheextent itcan. Cells thatarecrippled areeither repaired orre-
placed. High-level function istheobjective ofthebody.The welfare oftheremaining
cells decrees that they dispatch crippled cells if not repairable.
The body secretes lysosomes anduses them forspecial purposes. Let’sexamine a
boilorcarbuncle. Thelittle hole thatextends from thebody surface tothefleshy inte-
riorrepresents arealbody disaster! Butthepurposes served decree theravage thatthe
body inflicts upon itself. When there isdeadly toxic accumulation thatthreatens thein-
tegrity oftheorganism—when thistoxic accumulation cannot otherwise beeliminated
through regular channels ofelimination—the body autolyzes atube, hole, passage, duct
orfistula-like opening tothesurface. Perhaps ahundred million orsobody cells will
bedestroyed bylysosomes. After thecompletion ofthetube, thebody collects thetoxic
material andforces ittothesurface through thespecially-created duct. There itisquar-
antined until drained or detoxified.Infasting, forinstance, lysosomes areutilized indestroying anddigesting growths.
Thematerials destroyed areutilized asfood. These growths may bebreast tumors, can-
cer cells, warts, cysts, etc.
Theorder ofintelligence involved insensing errant conditions, communicating them
tothebrain, assessing thereports, determining acourse ofaction andresponding with
coordinated orders toallthebody cells andsystems involved toeffectaresult isbeyond
human comprehension. Wecanonly intimate thevastness ofthewisdom involved with
our limited concepts and expressions.
This isjustoneofthemany kinds ofbody wisdom thatfurther fortifies theLife Sci-
ence stricture: Leave the body intelligently alone.
6.1.4 The Brain as the Kingpin Behind the Human Show
Forustocomprehend themagnitude ofthebrain’ sdominion andthecooperation of
each cellmember ofthatdominion, we’d have tohave anintellect infinitely more de-
veloped than itpresently is.The limits ofintellect leave toomuch thatis“not clearly
understood.”
Inoneofthearticles used astextmaterial inthislesson, itispointed outthatthebody
possesses some 125trillion cells. Each cellconsists ofamultitude oforganelles orlife
support systems thatkeep thecellfunctioning. This article points outthatitisdifficult
forustoconceive afewthousand people getting together andcooperating harmoniously
inallthings. Ifthatseems difficult, then imagine allthefour billion individuals onearth
acting inunison. Butthen, compared with thebody,thatisnothing! Can youimagine
36,000 earths, each with four billion inhabitants, acting in unison?
Only with such staggering thoughts asthese isitpossible tograsp some idea how
infinite isthe,knowledge, understanding andexpertise ofthehuman brain. Itcoordi-
nates theactivities ofanastronomical number ofcooperating cells. Weemphasize the
word cooperating because allcells arecompletely subservient tothebrain, which, in
turn, serves thewhole organism. Thebrain exists asthecontroller ofthebody cells col-
lectively.Itserves thecells byproviding them with needs they cannot obtain ontheir
own.
Sometimes acellmay become “independent” inthatitscontrol mechanisms areaf-
fected anditeither nolonger possesses innate intelligence orcannolonger focus itsin-
nate intelligence tocooperative endeavors. Such acellbecomes aparasite cellinthatit
draws from organic stores butisso“crazy” itcannot contribute tofunction. Itiscalled
acancer cell. Itsoperations disrupt physiological harmony rather than contribute toit.
Acancer celliscreated bycontinual assault bytoxic substances thateventually derange
anddestroy itsencoded blueprints andintelligence. When such acellexists, thebrain
will bring the residual powers of the or ganism to destroy the errant cell.
Thebrain, though thecreature ofitscellular constituents, isnevertheless supreme in
theorganism ofwhich itisapart. Thecells have created itaspresident topreside over
and direct their af fairs.
Asthesupreme faculty ofthebody,thebrain isprotected andserved byitscellcon-
stituency preferentially.The brain thus istreated royally.Itreceives thebest ofevery-
thing; itisserved andkept operational, even ifthismeans thesacrifice ofmillions upon
millions of cells. Thus, we can say the brain is the kingpin behind the human show.

Article #2: Research Yields Bombshell Of A Surprise!
Theprestigious New YorkTimes newspaper,initsMay 5thissue, surprised your editor
more by printing an article than the surprise they express by the findings revealed.
Thegistofthisarticle issome research done byanAnthropologist, Dr.Alan Walker
of Johns Hopkins University in Maryland.
Dr.Walker hascome tothestartling conclusion that early humans were fruit
eaters—not justfruit eaters butexclusively andonly fruit eaters—eaters ofnothing but
fruit. This comes asquite abombshell from anoted publication thathasavested interest
in a heavy meat-eating society.
Bycareful examination offossil teeth andfossilized remains ofhumans with theaid
ofelectron microscopes andother sophisticated tools, Dr.Walker andother researchers
areabsolutely certain thatourancestors, uptoapoint inrelatively recent history,were
fruitarians.Hygienists arenotnecessarily fruitarians butallwill tellyouthathumans are,by
physiology andanatomy,Frugivores. Acursory study ofbiology willreveal this, even if
written by meat-eating professors, which most of our Biologists are.
Thescope ofthearticle israther farflung. They trace humans through history asex-
panding to herbiage and nuts and, finally, to meat as a full-fledged omnivore.
Buttheessence ofthearticle isthat, though weundertook omnivorous eating prac-
tices, ouranatomy andphysiology have notchanged—we remain biologically aspecies
of fruit eaters.
Ourdietetic character isestablished byourdisposition toward fruits. Ournatural diet
hasgreat eyeandtaste appeal. Itpasses from thestomach indigestible form infrom 10
minutes to 30 minutes after ingestion.
Contrast thiswith concentrated fatandprotein foods which take three tofivehours
to pass out of the stomach.
Wedonothave thefour stomachs thatherbivores usually have. This rules outmost
herbiage.
Wehave only onestarch-splitting enzyme versus amultitude ofthem inomnivores
andstarch-eating animals. Ourptyalin isvery limited. This rules usoutasstarch-eaters
which includes grains or cereals. W e are not graminivores.
Neither arewecarnivores. Itisrepugnant toourthoughts tokillandeatananimal
while itisyetwarm andbloody,toeatitsbrains, heart, offalandblood astruecarnivores
do.Truecarnivores donotchew meat—they have intheir digestive tracts ahydrochloric
acid soconcentrated, about 1100% more sothan ours, thatitwilldigest theflesh from
ourhands ifthey swallowed them. Butouracids aresoweak wedigest meat poorly even
ifwechew itthoroughly.Even then wecannot handle uricacid except atgreat expense
toourvitality andwell-being. Cholesterol plays havoc with ourcirculatory system. So
don’tthink we’re natural meat-eaters. We’resuffering very dearly forourdietary indis-
cretions—America has more sick people than any country in the world.
Canyouimagine thedismay with which ourmeat anddairy industry nottomention
ourextensive junk food industry willview such damaging propaganda? Canyounotsee
how many advertisers willhave second thoughts about placing advertising intheNew
York T imes?
Well,itdoesn’ tquite work like that. The junk food advertising intheNew York
Times amounts toabout nil.Itisanewspaper that“prints allthenews that’sfittoprint.”
It serves a cultured, aware audience.
Butoneofthesurprising things thatcame outofthisarticle isitsattribution ofthe
harmfulness ofourshift from ournatural dietoffruits toother items offood thatrange
from eggs and insects to milk and meats.
Ihave checked with many Life Scientists inother areas ofthecountry.Notonehas
seen nary amention ofthese universally significant findings. I’ve examined ourlocal
papers. You’d never know about it.After all,ourlocal papers serve theindustries thata
general knowledge and observance of these findings would destroy outright.
Most Hygienists/ Life Scientists donotmake sweet fruits their primary item ofdiet.
Few do.Youreditor ’sdiethasbeen only 70% to80% fruitarian, perhaps more ifyou
consider nuts, tomatoes, bellpeppers, cucumbers, avocados, eggplants, andother such
items asfruits, which they are.Then your editor ’sdietmight beconsidered about 95%
fruitarian with thebalance being thegreen leaves andstalks oflettuce, celery,kale, col-
lards, Chinese cabbage, sprouts, broccoli and cauliflowers.
Actually weallnaturally have a“sweet tooth” anditiswith reference tofruit-eating
that we are frugivores.
When Iwasayoungster Iwasaccused ofwanting toeatonly desserts andleaving
thegood substantial food towaste. Now I’msortofintrigued byall-dessert meals infact
Ieatsomany ofthem now Isometimes godays with nothing but.Now thatthemelon
season isupon usplus alltheother goodies, I’mafraid myvegetable andnonsweet fruiteating aregoing totake aback seat. Inthemulberry season your editor ateonly mulber-
ries for two or three days running on several occasions.
Thesalutary truths contained inthese findings willbehedged bymost who learn of
it.Itwillbesaid thatfruits donotsupply uswith sufficient proteins ornutrients orno
longer do.Much willbesaid butthisdoes notnegate thetruth. Itwillallbeindefense
ofwrong learning andwrong notions. Even many Hygienists/ Life Scientists willpooh-
pooh an all-fruit diet.
Ifyoudon’tgoalong with anallfruit diet, then why notaddsome greens, sprouts,
nuts andseeds? Butyoushould make your dietofmostly fruit. You’ll attain toahigh
state ofhealth, mental well-being andfunctional vigor.Ifyoueatasalad every second
andthird daywith aprotein, that’soften enough toassure more than adequate nutriment.
Article #3: Are We Meat Eaters?
Almost anyargument canbeeffectively destroyed ontheemotional level. When youin-
voke apicture ofrealism inthepresentation ofargument itwilleither build ordestroy
your argument. Thetruth should winoutregardless ofwhat side ofanargument you’re
on.
Hygienists have often been taunted with “Idon’twant anyofyour rabbit food.” An
emotional rejoinder that leaves them agag is “I’d prefer it to your buzzard food.”
Some folks willtellyouhumans aremeat-eaters andthatthey personally aremeat-
eaters. Ofcourse they’re nottruecarnivores. Youcancreate revulsion inthem formeat-
eating bysimply telling them: “When youcantake aliverabbit andcrush itshead in

It’sawhite crystalline powder.Itwasoriginally smuggled infrom theFarEast and
wassold attheequivalent of$12,000 perpound. Itsearly users soon became addicted.
Gradually itsusespread throughout thepopulation. Atfirst itwasaluxury fortherich,
butgradually itwasproduced inlargequantities atcheaper prices sothatanyone could
afford it.
The health ofallitsusers deteriorated rapidly.Notonly didthey sufferphysically
from sugar use,buttheir mental andemotional states were disturbed. They became irri-
table, sickly, obese and borderline schizophrenic.
The white powder was not cocaine or heroin—it was sugar.
Today theaverage American eatshisorherweight insugar every year.Thetypical
American eats50teaspoons ofsugar each day,most ofithidden inprocessed andpack-
aged foods. Probably more health problems canbetraced tosugar usethan anyother
single item eaten today.
30.1.2 Your Sweet Tooth
How didAmerica’ sdeadly love affairwith sugar begin? Why isitsobadforyou?
Most people shrug offthewarnings about sugar andcontinue touseit.“Ihave tofeed
my sweet tooth,” they say. “I crave sweets. It must be natural or I wouldn’ t want them.”
And toacertain extent, they’re right. Itisnatural todesire sweet foods. Youshould
feed your sweet tooth, butyoushould eatthefoods naturally sweet inwholesome sug-
ars—fresh fruits. Inanatural state, ourdietwould consist ofalargeamount offresh
fruits and some vegetables. In nature our sweet tooth would be well fed.
However,inthelasttwohundred years refined sugars have gradually replaced the
natural sugars inourdiet. Instead ofgrapes andapples, weeatcorn syrup, sacharin and
cyclamates to satisfy our natural desire for sweet fare.
30.2. Refined Sweeteners
30.2.1 What Happens When Y ou Eat Refined Sugars
30.2.2 The Sugar Diseases
30.2.3 Sweet Lies: The Sugar DefendersRefining means tomake “pure” byaprocess ofextraction orseparation. Sugars are
refined bytaking anatural food which contains ahigh percentage ofsugar,andthen re-
moving all elements of that food until only the sugar remains.
White sugar iscommonly made from sugar cane orsugar beets. Through heating and
mechanical andchemical processing, allvitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, enzymes and,
indeed, every nutrient is removed until only the sugar remains.
Sugar cane andsugar beets arefirst harvested andthen chopped intosmall pieces,
squeezing out the juice which is then mixed with water.
This liquid isthen heated andlime isadded. Moisture isboiled away,andthere-
maining fluid ispumped into vacuum pans toconcentrate thejuice. Bythistime, the
liquid isstarting tocrystallize andisready tobeplaced intoacentrifuge machine- where
any remaining residues (like molasses) are spun away.
Thecrystals arethen heated totheboiling point andarepassed through charcoal fil-
ters. After thecrystals condense, they arebleached snow-white, usually bytheuseof
cattle bones.
During these refining processes, 64food elements aredestroyed. Allthepotassium,
magnesium, calcium, iron, manganese, phosphate, andsulfate areremoved. TheA,D,
andBvitamins areeliminated. Amino acids, vital enzymes, unsaturated fats, andall
fiber are gone.
Toalesser orgreater degree, allrefined sweeteners such ascorn syrup, maple syrup,
etc.under gosimilar destructive processes. Molasses arethechemicals andderanged nu-
trients that are a byproduct of sugar manufacture.
30.2.1 What Happens When You Eat Refined Sugars
When youeatarefined carbohydrate likesugar,thebody must take vital nutrients
from healthy cells tometabolize incomplete food. Sodium, potassium, magnesium, and
calcium aredrawn from various parts ofthebody tomake useofthesugar.Often so
much calcium isused toneutralize theeffects ofsugar thatthebones, which arethe
body’ sstorehouse ofthismineral, become osteoporatic duetothewithdrawn calcium.
Theteeth, too,arelikewise affected andthey lose their components until decay occurs
and hastens their loss.
When sugar enters thestomach, glutamic acid andother Bvitamins aredenied tothe
body.Thelossofthese specific vitamins results inaconfused mental state andatenden-
cy to become sleepy during the day.
Since refined sugars areremoved from their natural sources (which contain thenec-
essary nutrients fortheir metabolism), sugar -eating causes thebody todeplete itsown
stores ofvarious vitamins, minerals andenzymes. Notonly does sugar provide noneed-
ednutrients, itcauses thebody torobitself ofalready present vital elements.Sugar is
both an imposter and a thief.
Ifthebody islacking thevital nutrients used tometabolize sugar,theresult isfailure
toproperly handle andexpel poisonous residues such aslactic acid. These wastes accu-
mulate through thebrain andnervous system, which inturn accelerates cellular death.
Thebloodstream becomes overloaded with waste products, including incompletely me-
tabolized sugar, and symptoms of carbonic poisoning result.
Alloftheuntoward effects ofrefined sugar metabolism play havoc with themind
andemotions aswell asthebody.Research studies have demonstrated alink between
juvenile criminal behavior andsugar consumption. Amajority ofthenation’ sprisoners
are“sugarholics” anderratic emotional outbreaks often follow asugar binge. Asearly as
the1940’ s,Dr.John Tintera discovered arelationship between sugar -eating andschizo-
phrenic behavior,aswell asother mental illnesses. Theeffects ofsugar -induced depres-
sion are well documented in W illiam Dufty’ s book Sugar Blues.
Theendocrinologist John W.Tintera wasvery emphatic indescribing therelation-
ship between sugar andthewhole person. Hesaid: “Itisquite possible toimprove yourdisposition, increase your efficiency,andchange your personality forthebetter.Theway
to do this is to avoid refined sugar in all forms and guises.”
30.2.2 The Sugar Diseases
Sugar usage hasbeen associated with somany different diseases andmetabolic dis-
turbances thatitwould bedifficult todiscuss them allinthislesson. However,four of
themore common ailments related tosugar consumption canbebriefly covered inthis
lesson. Thereader interested infinding outmore about therelationship between sugar
and disease should consult the book Sweet and Danger ousby Dr. John Y udkin.
30.2.2.1 Tooth Decay
The connection between sugar andtooth decay isprobably better known than any
other hazard ofsugar consumption. Sugar eating contributes totooth decay because its
metabolism bythebody requires extra calcium tobedrawn from thebones andteeth,
thereby weakening theteeth andmaking them susceptible todecay.Notonly white sug-
ar, but all refined carbohydrates have been implicated as a cause of tooth decay.
30.2.2.2 Obesity
Sugar makes you fatbecause itsupplies only calories, thus causing thebody to
overeat toobtain itsneeded nutrients. When youfilluponfoods high insugar,thebody
must have additional foods (and consequently calories) to get the nutrients it needs.
One pound ofapples contains 263calories, whereas onepound ofcandy typically
hasabout 1800 calories. Achocolate barhaseight times asmany calories asdoes aba-
nana, ounce for ounce.
Fruit also supplies fiber andbulk tohelp make youfeel“full.” Sugar isfiber-free;
you’ll never experience asense ofphysical fullness even after eating twocups ofsugar.
Consequently, you can overeat on sugar very easily.
IfAmericans would justeliminate sugar andallrefined sweeteners from their diets,
they would experience dramatic weight loss.
30.2.2.3 Diabetes and Hypoglycemia
Diabetes isthefailure ofthepancreas toproduce adequate insulin when theblood
sugar rises. Concentrated amounts ofsugar cause arapid riseinblood sugar.Eventually

Animals inthewild refuse toeatmany oftheplants growing around them. Toxins
andpoisons aretobefound inplants, justasarevitamins, minerals, amino acids, and
soon.AsDr.Shelton hasobserved, “Many oftheproducts ofnature areunfit forthe
entrance into the human body.”
Ifsomany herbs taste sofoulandhave such detrimental effects onthebody,then we
might ask how the herbal practice ever got started in the first place.
42.1.5 The Origins of Herbal Drugging Practices
Theherbalists andthemedical profession which alsoderives many ofitsdrugs from
herbs have justified theuseofsuch poisons bypointing tothepractices ofantiquity and
primitive tribes.
“For thousands ofyears,” oneherbalist writes inhiscorrespondence course, “herbs
have been used inthetreatment ofdisease. From thetime ofKing Solomon, who was
reputed tobethewisest man ofhistime, ondown toHippocrates, Galen, andthrough
theMiddle Ages tothepresent time, there have always been great andfamous herbolo-
gists or botanical physicians.”
Wecould also addthatthere have also always been fools andunwitting dupes who
have fallen prey to this mumbo-jumbo about the “glorious” history of herbs.
The romantic picture ofremote andancient men who searched thelandscape for
herbs tocure mankind isapopular,butfalse one. Always theherbalist isglorified asa
wise magic man thatcould divine thetruenature ofthewild plants around him. Actual-
ly, nothing could be farther from the truth.
The first herbalists were superstitious witch doctors andshamans who used these
plants notforanyhealing virtues, butformagic rituals andceremonies forsexandpow-
er.Theherbs were used right along with snake eyes andfrog skins tomake magic po-
tions. They were not used as curative agents, but as magical talismans.
Medical historians andstudents ofherbology,however,seek tojustify their drugging
practices bypointing tothepast uses ofherbs byprimitives asan“instinctive” useof
such plants. Neither man noranimals will“instinctively” eataplant thatisfullofpoi-sons andtoxins. Itisvery doubtful thatanyperson living innature would desire toeata
foul, bitter plant that causes the body to react vigorously to eliminate it.
The truth isthatherbology,likecircumcision, isadark ageritual thathasunjusti-
fiably survived. Theprimitives hadnomore success when they used herbs formedical
curing than they didwhen they performed circumcision ontheir youths toprevent mas-
turbation, orwhatever.Both herbs andcircumcision arebarbaric practices thatarestill
with us in spite of an “enlightened” twentieth century.
The romanticizing ofherbs andtheir effects asbeing “natural” or“primitive” and
therefore established andaccepted isadangerous lie.Herbs aredrugs andpoisons. They
cure nothing.
42.1.6 Why Herbs Can’t “Cure”
People who believe inthecurative powers ofherbs think thatanydisease orailment
canberelieved bytheingestion oftheproper herbs inthecorrect amounts. Some herbs
are to be boiled and steeped.
Others need grinding andpowdering. Some herbs aretobetaken incombination
with other herbs.
Some herbs must be taken alone to “work” properly.
There aredozens anddozens ofbooks thatlistherbal formulas forevery conceivable
illness. Nomatter what bothers us,theherbalists have alistofplants wecantake to
“cure” ourselves. So simple and so appealing.
Every herb hasitsown healing properties, itsown virtues, itsown potencies. Read-
ingabook onherbs islikereading anencyclopedia ofdiseases andcures. Nowonder
herbology issoseductive. Weneed donothing tochange ourliving habits toregain our
health; we only need to take this or that herb in some amount or combination.
There isnocuring power inanyherb. Allhealing power resides inthetissues ofthe
individual. Anherb cancure nothing. Herbs, likealldrugs andpoisons, areinert sub-
stances. They perform noactions. They stimulate nohealing. They remove nocause of
illness. They cannot rebuild thebody.They areinactive andincapable ofinitiating any
constructive action within the body.
Butherbs do“work” inacertain way.When they areintroduced intothebody,the
vital organism attempts toexpel these poisons asquickly aspossible. Thebody protects
itself from drugging andpoisoning, whether these poisons come from apharmacist’ s
shelf or from nature.
These protective efforts bythebody aremisinterpreted asbeneficial actions ofthe
herbs. Forexample, theherb called mandrake haslong been used forliver ailments.
When ingested, mandrake causes vomiting, purging, andgriping. The herbalists view
these reactions asbeneficial; they saythatthemandrake iscausing thebody toclean it-
self out.
What isactually occurring isthatthebody ismaking aheroic efforttoexpel the
mandrake byanyavenue possible. Thepurging andgriping aresigns ofavital organism
trying to eject a poisonous substance. It is not a “curing crisis” brought on by the herb.
Different herbs may occasion different bodily reactions. Fevers, sweating, diarrhea,
increased ordecreased circulation areallsigns ofabody trying toeliminate herbal toxins
and are not indications that an herb is working some cure or the other.
42.1.7 Can Herbs Help At All?
Theuseofherbs isoften defended because they arenotasstrong aschemically-de-
rived medicines. Inother words, they seem todolessharm than prescription drugs. But
isthisreally true? Areherbs thelesser oftwoevils? And isthere ever anyreason they
should be employed?Even ifherbs possessed notoxic orpoisonous properties, they would stillbedan-
gerous. Why? Because theuseofherbs, orany“curing” agent, simply perpetuates the
ignorance that enslaves so many people.
Herbology promotes theidea ofa“cure.” Assuch, itdoes nothing toremove thetrue
causes ofdisease andillness. Herbs deceive people. Many people think thatbyswallow-
ingsome plant ortheother,they canimprove their health. Such thinking canbedanger-
ous.
Forexample, high-blood pressure isavery common ailment among Americans be-
cause ofthetremendous amounts ofsaltthey eatintheir heavy meat andprocessed food
diet. Avegetable alkaloid found incertain herbs called reserpine hasbeen used tore-
duce blood pressure. Garlic, long touted asawonder herb, isalsoasupposedly effective
agent in reducing blood pressure.
What sometimes occurs isthatpeople with high-blood pressure ingest garlic andoth-
erherbs tocorrect thiscondition. Atthesame time, however,they continue with their
old diet and eat lar ge amounts of salt.
When thishappens, thesymptom ofhigh-blood pressure ishidden bythesymptoms
oftheherbal poisoning. Atthesame time, theoldhabits anddietthatkept theblood pres-
sure high arenotmodified. Thehigh-blood pressure issimply asignal bythebody that
something iswrong—like dietorlifestyle. Bytaking anherb forthissymptom, nothing
positive isbeing done; indeed, apoison hasjustbeen added tothebody which itnow
must eliminate.
Herb taking, then, issimply symptom masking. Inother words, asymptom ofadis-
eased ordisordered body ishidden bytheeliminative efforts ofthebody toriditself of
theherbal toxins. The causes oftheinitial symptom remain, andindeed, continue the
destruction of the body.
Garlic andother herbs may mask onesymptom ofahigh-salt diet, butthey cando
nothing about thekidney damage andcellular destruction thatalsoaccompanies salteat-
ing.
Allpillanddrug taking isdangerously deceptive, whether thedrug comes from a
plant orfrom afactory.Thesymptom-ridding approach tohealth isashort-ended one,
andthebills foradisease-producing lifestyle always come due. Herbs andthesymptom-
repressing attitude toward health only deceive and delude the true health seeker.
42.1.8 Are Herbs Good For Food Supplements?
Notonly areherbs promoted ascures andremedies, butthey areoften given asdi-
etary supplements. Herbs often have ahigh concentration ofminerals (usually iron, cal-
cium, and trace elements.) Some have a high vitamin C content as well.
Because ofthisconcentration ofnutrients, herbs arealso used asnutritional supple-
ments. Forex


 arechoosing homebirths attended by
midwives orbytheir husbands alone. These women have athorough knowledge ofthe
mechanics oftheir bodies throughout thebirthing process andalsoknow thatdiet, exer-
cise, etc., during preconception andpregnancy have much todowith how well thebirth
process will go and how healthy the child will be.

55.2.4 Ef fects of Birth Control Pills, IUDs, and Abortions Prior to ConceptionThequality ofachild’ slifeisdetermined before birth—it even begins before con-
ception. Awoman’ sbody must behealthy prior toconception toinsure proper develop-
ment of the new being.
The prospective mother needs toexercise regularly,think positively,breathe fresh
air,take sunshine, keep clean, getadequate sleep, and, above all,improve herdietat
least sixmonths prior toconception (ifitisnotalready good). (However,anyimprove-
ment inthedietatanytime during pregnancy isbetter than noimprovement atall.)The
fetus will then develop in an already clean, healthful environment.
55.2.1 Fasting To Improve Baby’s Future Environment
Thebest way tocreate anideal fetal environment istofast. It’ssortoflikecleaning
your house before thearrival ofaguest. Afastwillenable thebody toeject uneliminated
toxins from tissues. Toxins may have been building upforyears. Ridding thebody of
toxins causes better assimilation offoods andthus better nutrition. One long fastora
series ofshort fasts followed byadietmostly ofrawfruits with some vegetables, nuts,
seeds, and sprouts will prove very helpful before and during pregnancy and lactation.
55.2.2 Improving the Diet

that the diet is improved at this crucial tie.
55.2.3 Exercise
“The stronger thebody,themoreitobeys; theweaker thebody,themoreitcom-
mands.”
—Rousseau
Awoman’ smuscles need tobefirm andwell toned toallow forease ofdelivery and
lesspain during theprocesses ofpregnancy andchildbirth. Starting anexercise program
before conception, ifnotalready onone, isessential. Tostart anexercise program dur-
ingpregnancy when thebody hasbeen inactive prior tothattime andthemuscles are
flaccid, could be dangerous.
Many women areaccustomed towearing tight-fitting clothing. Therefore their mus-
cleshaven’ tbeen used tosupport their internal organs asthey should. Muscles, especial-
lythose oftheabdomen, become flabby andweak when notused. These arethemus-
clestowhich most attention should befocused inpreparing thebody forpregnancy and
childbirth.
Exercises such assitups, push ups, deep-knee bends, leglifts, andyoga postures
strengthen theabdominal, back, andlegmuscles. These exercises should beasvigorous
asthewoman’ sphysical condition permits. Start outslowly andgradually work out
more and more and establish an exercising routine that works for you.
Many women sufferfrom lower back pain during pregnancy andlabor.Had these
women strengthened their spine anditssupporting muscles prior tothistime, thispain
would nothave occurred. These muscles willhave thestrength tosupport extra weight
while pregnant ifused regularly asthey should be.(Note: thelower back isalsoadump-
ingsitefortoxins ifthebody isinatoxic state—exercise alone cannot alleviate back
pain—a pure body is also necessary.)55.2.4 Effects of Birth Control Pills, IUDs, and Abortions Prior to Conception
Women should notconceive immediately after stopping useofbirth control pills or
after theremoval ofanIUD because thiscanpose danger tothefetus. Prior abortions,
which stress thewoman’ sreproductive organs, also pose danger tofuture fetuses. They
can cause babies to be born prematurely.
Thebody needs ahousecleaning toprepare forthefetus. Fasting, followed byaprop-
erdietandother lifeessentials willprepare thebody fortheincredible featofpregnancy
and birth.

55.3.14 “Complications” of Pregnancy
55.3.15 Other Information Pertinent to Prenatal Care
Women areconvinced bythemedia, their physicians, relatives, etc., thatprenatal
care means going tothedoctor forregular checkups. Frequent examinations arerequired
byphysicians tocheck forsugar intheurine, blood count, edema, etc.These “compli-
cations” areconsidered byconventional standards tobenormal andtherefore need tobe
checked for.Instead ofavoiding these complications byright living, these abnormalities
aretested forthroughout pregnancy.What women arenottoldisthatallthese tests (es-
pecially vaginal exams) arevery enervating andshould beavoided and, infact, visits
tophysicians arenotonly needless butfraught with many dangers forboth mother and
progeny.
Wearetoldthatonly anuneducated, ignorant woman would neglect visiting anob-
stetrician regularly during pregnancy tomake sure everything isgoing okay.Butwhy
wouldn’ teverything beokay? These obstetricians aretrained totreat pregnancy asadis-
ease rather than the normal and natural condition that it is.
Themedical establishment conducts many tests onpregnant women todiscover trou-
bleonly after itisdeveloped. They have noways ofguiding women tohealth—they deal
with pathological effects, notcauses. Normally,physicians utilize drugging, which adds
to the harm, to “remedy” the “problems” they purport to discover with their tests.
Prenatal care, however,does notmean visiting your obstetrician atall.Itmeans pro-
viding thehealthful conditions soastoproduce andmaintain better health anddevel-
opment intheunborn child. Inother words, thechild isvery much so“atthemercy of
themother” foralltherequisites ofdevelopment andgrowth andfreedom from harmful
toxins. AsDr.Shelton says, “the child’ sneeds arebestserved when those ofthemother
are perfectly supplied.”
Prenatal care includes wholesome outdoor exercise, pure air,restandsleep, sun-
shine, freedom from worry oranxiety,absence ofoverwork, andmost importantly,prop-erfood. Theunborn child istotally dependent upon themother toprovide these things
prudently.
Pregnant women need noteatmore food than they didprior topregnancy asiscom-
monly asserted. They need only eatthebest offoods—raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, and
seeds. These foods willprovide anabundance ofminerals, vitamins, andhigh-grade pro-
teins forboth mother andbaby.Good foods aretherawmaterials forbetter eyes, better
bones, better teeth, abetter nervous system, abetter brain, andbetter development all
around thebaby.Proper foods also improve thehealth andcomfort ofthemother and
allow, for greater ease in delivery and healthier nursing.
Good food isnotenough, however.Apregnant woman must secure thebest condi-
tions forefficient utilization (assimilation) ofherfood. Shemust observe food combin-
ingrules, eatonly when hungry,never overeat oreatwhen emotionally upset orphysi-
cally tired, never drink with her meals, etc.
“Well-nourished mothers (this does notmean overfed) give birth towell-nour-
ished and, therefore, well-developed andvital children. Notmerely thebones and
teeth andrespiratory organs areinvolved intheresults ofadequate orinadequate

that the thyroid could have been left alone to heal on its own.
When thesurgeon cutsoutthethyroid gland, herenders thepatient permanently hy-
pothyroid; thatis,fortherestofhislifethepatient willbedependent onthyroid supple-
ments or else he may go into a coma.
Also, when, thesurgeon cuts thethyroid, hemay cuttherecurrent laryngeal branch

Vasectomy -Vasectomy ismale sterilization bycutting thevasdeferens (the tube
connecting thetestes tothepenis). Most men who have hadvasectomies have subse-
quently been impotent.
Tworeasons why urologists continue doing vasectomies andhave notrevealed the
high incidence of impotence it causes are as follows:
1.Urologists earn a mint doing this operation.
2.Somany vasectomies have already been performed, somany men have been
made impotent thatthey areashamed toadmit itorbring upthefact. Ifthetruth should
come out,then malpractice cases against urologists would jamevery court inthecoun-
try.
Another aspect ofvasectomy thatthepublic hasnotbeen made aware ofsufficiently
isthisforpractical purposes itisanonreversible operation. Rare cases have occurred
where surgeons using microscopes have reconnected thesevered ends ofthevasdefer-
ens. However, a successful outcome from this is very rare.
67.14. Intensive Care Unit
67.14.1 Equipment
67.14.2 People’ s ReactionsTheintensive care unitisdesigned differently from other areas ofthehospital. Itis
alargeroom, sometimes with curtains between beds, sometimes not.Men, women, and
children arealltogether.There isacentral nurses station from which allpatients arevis-
ible. Specially-trained teams of doctors and nurses are on duty twenty-four hours a day.
TheICU isaroom which isdefinitely notconducive tohealth. Theroom isdeliber-
ately kept cool todecrease thebody’ sneed foroxygen. This creates anadditional stress
to maintain proper body temperature.
When youfirstenter theICU, itlooks likesomething from aspaceship: wires, tubes,
lights, pumps arehooked intoandonto mostly immobile, white-sheeted figures. There
areconstantly flashing lights andbeeps from monitors. Itiseery andenervating. The
light iseerily,intensely bright; there isconstant, purposeful movement onthepanofthe
staff.There israrely anoutside window sothere isnofresh airandlittle sense oftime
ofdayorseason. Beneath alltheapparatus itcanbehard torecognize (and sometimes
even see) the person you know.
67.14.1 Equipment
People intheICU areoften hooked uptocardiac monitor ’sthatprovide records of
the heart’ s activity.
Thescreens thatdisplay these areusually placed atthepatient’ sbedside, aswell as
atthecentral nurses station. Tubes ormasks often connect them toarespirator orven-
tilator.Ifitisbelieved thatyouwill need help breathing over along period oftime, a
tracheotomy (anopening intothetrachea through theneck) may beperformed. Moist-
ened airoroxygen will bedelivered tothearea ofthetracheotomy through aplastic
tube. Since thenormal moistening mechanism (your nose andthroat) isnolonger doing
thisjob,theairmust beartificially moistened toprevent thedrying ofyour respiratory
passages.
Sometimes, toseehow your heart ishandling theblood itisreceiving, acentral ve-
nous pressure catheter isused. This isathintube inserted intoavein inyour armand
threaded up to the lar ge vein (vena cava) entering your heart.
Togetaconstant andprecise measurement ofyour blood pressure, thin catheters
called arterial lines may beinplace inarteries inyour arm. This makes itpossible to
check your blood pressure without having toputonthecuffandpump ituptheway your
doctor ornurse normally would. Inother words, thepain andinconvenience experienced
bythesick individual with these catheters iffortheprimary purpose ofmaking thejob
of the nurse easier.
Often aFoley catheter,todrain urine, isinplace inyour bladder.Itmay flow intoa
bag and be measured from time to time—another unnecessary monitor.
67.14.2 People’s Reactions
Some people simply cannot tolerate being sototally dependent onother people and
onmachines. Others can’tbear thelack ofprivacy.Some feelthatthey’ll gomad from
thenoise, thecontinous bright light, theconstant attention: temperature, pulse, respi-
ration, andblood pressure aretaken every fifteen totwenty minutes. Youareburned,
checked, made to sit up and cough and take deep breaths.
The people look terrible—pasty-colored, immobile, sometimes unable totalkand,
worst ofall,often disoriented. Disorientation iscommon intheICU because ofthecon-
stant noise, thelights, thelack ofsleep, thefactthatpatients areseriously ill,may have
afever,andmay besedated sothatthey won’ tfight theequipment. People often hallu-
cinate and pass in and out of periods of clarity.
Theenvironment intheintensive care unitistheopposite ofwhat aproper environ-
ment forhealing should be.These places should becalled intensive abuse units. The
proper environment should bequiet andpeaceful. There should beplenty ofwindows sothattheroom islight andairywith plenty offresh airfrom outdoors. Since sleep isthe
prime requirement forallsickindividuals, they should never bedisturbed when sleeping
orresting. There isnoequipment orchemicals thatcanheal—only thebody candothat
and rest is the primary need.
67.15. The Emergency Room
67.15.1 Fees
Theemer gency room isanentirely separate unitofthehospital, setuptohandle peo-
plewith aninjury orcondition thatmay cause death, disability,orserious illness ifnot
treated promptly.
Theperson who greets youinanemer gency room willhave twoquestions: Doyou
have insurance? What isthematter? Ifyoudonothave insurance andareunable topay,
anyhospital thatoperates atwenty-four -hour -a-day emer gency service must stillgive
youemer gency care. Itdoes not,however,have toprovide follow-up care; andaprivate
hospital hastheright, ifyoucannot pay,totransfer youtoapublic hospital once you
have, received the initial emer gency care.
Ifyoudohave medical insurance, bring your identification cards with you. It’salso
agood idea tobring afriend, because thehassle oftheemer gency room may bemore
than you can bear alone.
Inthehospital, those who getimmediate care areusually heart attack cases, women
about to give birth, and those with severe bleeding. The rest wait.
67.15.1 Fees
Don’ tbeshocked byemer gency room fees. Inlargemetropolitan hospitals they can
beasmuch asfifty dollars plus chargesforsuch things asXrays. Check your insurance
to see if it covers all or a portion of emer gency care costs so that you’ll be prepared.

Thefuture ofourhealth isinourown hands totheextent thatcircumstances ofthe
past andhealth ofourpast generations have nothadsome peculiar overriding influence
ofinfluences upon ourbirth orthestate ofourpresent well-being, such asaninherent
constitutional weakness passed onthrough ourforebearers. Nature iswonderfully prov-ident andcompensating inmost cases andprotects usuptoapoint which varies from

ture’slimitations! Themore consistently weliveinharmony with thelaws oflifefrom

There arethose who would sayitisalready tolate—that thetime forturning around
ourecological destiny hascome andgone andthatwewillinevitably perish because of
theconstant onslaught ofinfractions andinjustices wehave assaulted upon ourplanet.
This hasbeen reflected inmany ofthethoughts andattitudes exhibited bysome ofour
nation’ sleaders andappointees overseeing theaffairs ofourcountry’ snatural preserves
and resources.
Inmyopinion, nature issupreme andomnipotent, anditisimpossible todestroy
nature. Nature’ ssupremacy isdemonstrated constantly inourglobal weather andinthe
many natural “disasters” which take place intheform ofearthquakes, volcanoes, hur-
ricanes andtornadoes. Itisfurther demonstrated inthepower oftheoceans andrivers,
lakes, andstreams, inourseasons, even insuch instances asthesingle blade ofgrass that
cracks acement sidewalk, inthetrickle ofwater thateventually may form acanyon, in
the tree that continues to live and bear fruit even after it has been knocked over.
Man willnever beable tooverpower nature andherlaws, nomatter how many build-
ings heconstructs which willeventually crumble, nomatter how many roads hepaves
which eventually will beovergrown when leftunattended orunmaintained, nomatter
how many bombs hebuilds anddetonates, nuclear orotherwise, asnature systematically
continues onregardless ofscars. Ofcourse, itispossible forman toexterminate him-
selfandmuch ofhissurroundings foratime, perhaps avery long time after anuclear
accident orholocaust, andeven though hemay beable todestroy himself ormake his
environment unfit tosupport him, nature willeventually recover andrepair thatwhich
hehasdestroyed, probably including man himself. Nature isomnipotent andall-encom-
passing, and nature’ s laws prove and demonstrate it continually and endlessly.
Here arethelaws ofvital relationships, thefundamental andsecondary principles
ofNatural Hygiene/ Life Science, asformulated inaccordance with universal lawand
comparative studies ofbiology,biochemistry,anatomy andphysiology.These laws de-
termine lifeasweknow it;those laws ofnature govern usandprovide forusthecapac-
ityfornatural defense. Adisease-free existence with perfect health ispossible ifwelet
nature be our guide and live in harmony with her mandates.
Allthelaws ofvital relation arebuilt ontwofundamental principles; theLaw of
Identity,asfirst setdown byAristotle inthethird century B.C., andtheLaw ofSelf-
Preservation orLaw ofHomeostasis also known asLife’ sGreat Law.Allother princi-
plesamong thelaws ofvital relation arebuilt upon these fundamental principles andare
known assecondary principles, mostly being built upon Life’ sGreat Law,which inturn,
may besaid tobebuilt upon theLaw ofIdentity asafundamental extension ofthatpri-
mary law.79.2. Nature’s Laws For Healthful Living
79.2.1 Fundamental Principles
79.2.1 Fundamental Principles
79.2.1.1 The Law of Identity
Every living thing thatexists exists asaparticular something, with specific qualities,
attributes, potentials, andlimitations inherent totheorganism; aliving organism iswhat
it is and cannot act contrary to its nature.
What thisbasically means, without entering intoalengthy discussion ofcomparative
biology,biochemistry,anatomy and physiology,isthat allbiological, biochemical,
anatomical andphysiological features ofman definitely place himintheclass offrugi-
vores asaprimate ofthehighest order,asindicated bythenumber,structure anddental
formula oftheteeth; thelength andstructure ofthedigestive system, theposition ofthe
eyes, thefunctions oftheskin, thecharacter ofthenails, thesalivary characteristics, the
relative sizeoftheliver,thenumber andposition ofthemammary glands, theposition
andstructure ofthereproductive organs, thecharacter ofthehuman placenta, thenature
ofhaving twohands andtwofeet, themethod ofphysical transportation andmany other
factors, allindicating unquestionably ourconstitutional nature andbiological heritage as
afrugivore, whose natural dietconsists primarily offruit. Byourvery nature asafru-
givore, wecannot function properly contrary tothatnature. Frugivores may partake of
some green leaves andother plant parts with advantages. Man may inaccordance with
hisconstitutional nature, addgreen vegetables andnuts tothefruit diet, thereby improv-
ing it according to most Hygienists.
There areother important factor elements necessary tohuman lifewhich contribute
toourwell-being. They areessential tothefunctional integrity andsystemic harmony
ofthehuman organism. They are:Pure air,pure water,cleanliness, restandsleep, body
temperature, exercise, sunshine, relaxation, mental andemotional poise, pleasant sur-
roundings, creative freedom, self-discipline, and other important factors.
79.2.1.2 The Law of Self-Preservation
(or Homeostasis), which is also known as Life’ s Great Law states:
Every living cellisendowed with aninstinct ofself-preservation, sustained byavital
force inherent intheorganism, thesuccess oftwhose work isdirectly proportional to
theamount ofinherent force available andinversely proportional tothedegree ofitsac-
tivity.
What thismeans, ina“nutshell,” isthatifyouprovide theproper conditions forliv-
ingorganisms, they will automatically proceed inthedirection ofperfect health. How
Wellthey will dodepends onhow much vital energyisinreserve andhow little ofit
isbeing expended inactivity.Instinct isdefined bynatural lawas“aninnate propensi-
tytoactwithout conscious direction,”


totheextent thatanindividual willcompletely reverse his/herattitude toward lifeand
what is required to achieve the goal of attaining superb health.
But, when sufficient motivation islacking, failure willsurely come. Fortunately for
humankind, where sufficient motivation already exists anditisaccompanied byaninner
urge, desire, force, or drive, success is almost always assured.
Itisthehappy duty oftheHygienic practitioner todevise ways andmeans tomoti-
vate clients. Anemotionally orpsychologically healthy person isonewho haslearned
tocope successfully with himorherself andhis/herenvironment. Wemust motivate our
clients tobecome more poised, todirect them skillfully insuch away thatthey willat-
tainthesuperb health which may presently bebutavague dream orhope having nosub-
stance.
Motivation isamelding together ofwant, wish, desire andpurpose. Certainly sick
clients want toimprove their health, they wish they were healthier than they now are,
they have acertain amount ofdesire tocooperate with youandweshould encourage
thisand, also, wemust supply them with knowledge sothatthey willpursue thepurpose
which brought them to you.
91.2.5 The Hygienist’s Knowledge
The Hygienist who iswell-versed intheprinciples ofNatural Hygiene—Life Sci-
ence—has suf ficient knowledge to change the world.
Iftheworld understood andpracticed theprinciples that you arelearning inthis
course andhadfullunderstanding ofthescientific truth oftoxemia being thebasis forall
diseased states, andlived accordingly,allailments, diseases, pain andsuffering would
benomore. The members oftheworld population would soon forego their whining,
warring andworrying infavor ofenjoying thefruits ofhealthful living. There would
beample food tofeed theworld because soilculture would replace what appears tobe
deliberate sickness culture. Productivity inpresently unknown areas ofhuman endeavor
would bestimulated aseuphoria replaced depression. Thehours now spent inlaboring
would be dramatically reduced and used instead for the full enjoyment of life.
Yes!Natural Hygiene iscapable ofcausing changes which could rock theworld.
And, theHygienic practitioner who iswell informed canbeafullparticipant inthe
Grand Event. When youhave completed thiscourse, ifyouhave been diligent inyour
studies, you will be fully prepared to do your part.
And, youcandoyour partasyoumeet every dayonaone-to-one basis with thein-
dividual clients who seek your help. Youcanimpart toyour clients theknowledge of
health-promoting practices which, iffollowed ascircumstances permit, willrestore them
to the vibrant health that is our natural heritage.
Atfirstmeeting, however,unless proven otherwise, youmust assume thatyour client
haslittle ornoknowledge ofLife Science. Obviously,youcannot impart fullunder-
standing in one easy lesson.
Clients canoften beturned offandbecome discouraged ifweexpect toomuch, too
soon. Clients canalsobedisenchanted byanydisplay ofarrogance, the“know-it-all” at-
titude, on the part of the practitioner.
Wewillshortly take upsome preferred andproven ways todirect clients intheir ed-
ucation more effectively sothatnew practitioners candevelop more confidence intheir
practice, perhaps more patience with their clients, and become leaders in their field.
Perhaps theknowledge learned inthislesson will induce some ofourmore expe-
rienced students totake courage andlearn from their failures andinsodoing improve
their own human-client relationships to the mutual advantage of all.91.3. Practical Methodology

91.3.5 Knowledge of What T o Do—and How to Do It
InLesson 90,thestudent hasbeen presented with some ofthepsychological aspects
ofcounseling asthey may apply intheday-to-day practice ofaprofessional Hygienist.
Wehave inthisdiscussion divided methodology intothree main categories andanen-
largement oneach ofthese willfollow.Weshould bear inmind, however,thatthepsy-
chology ofcounseling cannever actually becompletely divorced from themore mun-
dane aspects of counseling, from the techniques. The two are inextricably intertwined.
91.3.1 How to Inspire Your Client
Wehave already putforth ourthesis thatusing specific case-studies may well bethe
single most ef fective tool to inspire clients to “go and do likewise.”
Wehave stated thatcase studies ofpersons who have successfully recovered from a
likeailment will, allother things being equal, have agreater impact onthepsyche than
will unrelated case studies.
Also, case studies which aregiven totheclient inaprintout form andthen thein-
formation contained therein reinforced bythereading together oftheinformation, com-
bined with anopportunity forthepractitioner topoint outspecific details and/ortoclar-
ifyothers, andfortheclient toaskquestions, willprove amuch more effective toolfor
providing encouragement than using either method alone.
Furthermore, theprint-out may betaken home bytheclient forsubsequent re-read-
ing, thus reinforcing the first psychic impact.
91.3.1.1 Me, Too!
Inspiration andreinforcement (support) canbeaugmented byusing the“Me, Too!”
technique, aneasily workable tool. Itembodies the“Ifyoucandoit,Ican, too!” philos-
ophy.
Thesupporting methodology used here issimple. Itisagathering together ofpersons
with similar affections inading, held either atthepractitioner ’sofficeorhome, orthe
home of a cooperative client.
This group should, ideally,have atleast onemember who haseither made aremark-
able recovery applying Hygienic principles inhis/herown lifestyle orwho, atleast, has
already witnessed sufficient improvement inhis/hercondition astowant toshare expe-
riences with others.
Intheearly days ofyour practice, youmay nothave worked with asufficient number
ofsimilar conditions tobeable toputtogether thiskind ofgroup. Inthisevent, simply
setupasupport group composed ofafewclients having avariety oftroubling condi-
tions, perhaps only three orfour,justsothatthey canshare their experiences andlearn

Discussions may range from thenegative tothepositive. Weshould notbediscour-

Forexample, many clients aredisturbed bytheinitial weight losssocommon inthe
early stages. When theweight lossisexplained interms oftearing down anoldstructure
prior tobuilding anew one, clients, more often than not,accept therationale ofthefact
of weight-loss as a prior condition for later health improvement.
Weusetheblackboard frequently.Itcanbeespecially helpful inexplaining weight
loss. Progress issooften impeded simply byfearwhen clients donotthoroughly under-
stand why they arelosing pound after pound. They begin toquestion thevalidity oftheir
whole program! W e use the Diagram Method in such situations.
Early Stages :Weight lossbegins toaccelerate, then slows down somewhat butstill
goes on,duetocatalytic tearing-down anddiscarding ofinferior anddiseased parts. All
happens under thecontrol ofbody’ sintelligence center.Anabolism, thebuilding phase,
is submer ged to catalysis. W eight is reduced. Swiftly at first, less as time goes on.
AttheMid-Point :Here equilibrium isestablished. There isnofurther weight loss
because theintelligent control center decides thatsufficient inferior tissue hasnow been

Final Adjustment :Asthecorrect lifestyle iscontinued, Anabolism begins toacceler-

anthropogenic factor was
negligible; i.e., man’s impact on nature was less dramatic than it is today.
According toHamaker,alltherequirements forglaciation arenow inplace andac-
celerating inintensity atavery fastpace: CO2 increases; precipitation pHmoves toward
intolerable acidity; earth’ ssoils (demineralized) can’tsupport astrong, healthy plant/
forest cover; thecarbon ofthesoils andtrees isbeing transferred back totheatmos-
phere inhuge amounts ascarbon dioxide gases. Astheprimary infrared heat-trapping
“greenhouse effect” gas,CO2 excess causes thesustained overheating ofthevastoceans
(especially tropical oceans), thus causing thesustained evaporation increase required to
nourish thepolar regions with the“food” ofglaciers: water,snow —and keep them shad-
edfrom melting with clouds.This increase ofglaciation isnow occurring andhasbeensince about 1950, so,although some scientists expect awarming from thegreenhouse
effect, theriseisn’tbeing found over thelastcentury—on thecontrary,theearth seems
tohave been cooling inrecent decades. The polar icefield isexpanding andgrowing
innortheast Canada (more onthisinweather section), andpressure isrising inthetec-
tonic system, indicated bytheaccumulation oflava flows along theridges, andbyin-
creased volcanic activity.We’reinthehigh-pressure partofthe“ocean floor feeding cy-
cle”, which has occurred about every 100 years, at least for a few centuries.
It’s certainly not a good time for CO2 to rise!
100.3.5 “Hope Springs Eternal”
Scientists tellusofaglacial/ interglacial cycle of100,000 years, andsaywearenow
about 10,000 to10,800 years intoawarm interval thatcanlastfrom 10,000 to12,000
years. Some scientists also saythere isa“magnetic pole reversal cycle” of200,000 to
1,000,000 years andthat, since thelastonetook place about 710,000 years ago, wecould
be“due” forone“some time inthefuture”. Asof1984, there hasn’ tbeen much talk
among thegeneral public about IceAges ormagnetic pole reversals; ifeither ofthese
possibilities doexist, even remotely,ascalculated byscientists, onewould expect atleast
some debate on these issues to have hit the national/international media by now.
There areseveral explanations fortheapparent lack ofawareness. Foronething,
countless brilliant minds gointofields totally unrelated toscience, soIceAges andpole
reversals aren’ tnecessarily familiar tothem. Then, within thefield ofscience, scientists
specialize,usually inonespecific area ofresearch, often depending ontheproject(s)
they’ve received funds andgrants for.They may beexperts ononeparticular subject,
butunfamiliar with either fields ofscience (even related fields) oreven with other areas
ofstudy within their own fields. They may have spent years refining acertain body of
knowledge andfocusing ononeaspect ofonebranch ofscience. This narrows down the
number ofexperts available onanygiven subject, letalone thatofglaciation ormag-
netic pole reversal. Most scientists accept asfactmany things they don’thave thetime,
knowledge ormoney toprove forthemselves, relying onresearch done byother scien-
tiststofillinthegaps. This means thenumber ofinformed people who could “accurate-
ly”predict artonset ofanother IceAge isquite limited anyway.Within thisnumber of
informed people there are:scientists toobusy working onsomething elsetobecome in-
volved inspeculation about anIceAge; others uninter ested oneway ortheother; some
who have considered it,then given itnofurther thought; others who may have specu-
lated onwhen itcould come, butdon’twant togive their opinion because they don’t
want tomake amistake orprefer nottocontradict scientists who think theworld will
warm up;others who don’twant toalarm thegeneral public (orperhaps fear causing
“mass panic” ormigration?); andfinally,there might beafewwho arewilling tomake a
statement. Aswesaid, thiswillbearareperson, onewith courage ofconvictions, faith
inhis/hercalculations, enough concern about humanity tobring something ofsuch epic
proportions outintotheopen, andnerve tocontradict other scientists’ theories, such as
theories ofscientists who initiated theEnvironmental Protection Agency report andthe
National Academy ofSciences report. Anyone who disagrees with them hastoprove his
own theory anddiscredit theirs—somewhat comparable toasingle doctor challenging
theentire American Medical Association—it happens, butthisisprobably considered an
awesome task, onemany professionals would undoubtedly prefer toavoid ifatallpos-
sible, having their “careers” and reputations” to think about.
Scientists andexperts need more than knowledge andfacts—they also need intu-
ition, theability tosynthesize what they know intoanoverall pictur efrom allthelittle
random bitsandpieces ofinformation. Beyond book learning, they need sensitivity and
awareness, consciousness andcreativity.Educated experts often lack some ofthese qual-
ities needed tomake good judgment andaproper diagnosis. Wecansee,inlight oftheabove “analysis”, thatitcould indeed bepossible forthegeneral public tomiss some-
thing of such magnitude, even if it were true.
John Hamaker puts itthisway: “Itmay seem incredible thatuptonow thiswork
could have escaped becoming common knowledge, atleast toworkers inagriculture,
forestry,geology,climatology,andother such immediately-related fields. Apparently the
many diverse pieces oftheglacial/ interglacial climate cycle ‘puzzle’ hadtobegradually
discovered through various disciplines over decades, before atleast enough pieces were
evident tobejoined inacoherent picture byatrained ecological thinker.”(John Hamaker
in this case.) Y et now everyone may see for themselves the truth in his synthesis.
Hecontinues: “Congress hasevaluated theCO2 problem onthebasis ofaconsensus
reached by‘specialists’. They freely admit thatthey donotknow what causes glaciation,
yetsaytheaverage temperature must drop several degrees Cbefore wecanhave glacia-
tionsimply because they have evidence thatitdoes getmuch colder during glacial pe-
riods. They ignore thefactthat, historically,glaciation hasalternated with interglacial
periods onaroughly 100,000-year cycle andthefactthatglaciation isdue. Dothey think
thatcrop soils turning todeserts (due toerosion andsoildemineralization, etc.), and
weather catastrophies we’ve observed, arealljustcoincidence? They haven’ tthought
about soilanditsrelation toglaciation, northeroleofthetectonic system intheglacial
process.
“The people chargedwith theresponsibility fortheCO2 problem aresimply not
trained tosolve problems. They aretrained tobeobservers andhave done acreditable
jobofthat. Butthejobofmaking arational synthesis ofthefacts asabasis forCon-
gressional action ought tohave been assigned toengineers andphysicists, both ofwhom
have been trained towork with thefacts andlaws ofNature. Thefault liesatthehigher
levels ofeducation, which have neglected thenecessity forinterdisciplinary education
and action in favor of specialization.”
Themeteorologist Harold Bernard, who alsowarned ofCO2 increases andeffects on
climate, wrote achapter “WeCan’ tPutWeather inaTestTube,” which criticizes scien-
tists’ incorrect assumptions, inaccurate modeling techniques, andignorance ofimportant
processes through lack ofknowledge. Itisclear thattheinterglacial soildemineraliza-
tion is one such process they have ignored. The knowledge is.now freely available.
Let’sconsider aparallel thatLife Scientists arevery familiar with bynow.Thecon-
cept ofthebody asself-healing andthebody ofknowledge found intheLife Science
philosophy both follow thelaws ofcommon sense, ofNature, andoflogic. Weneed
only tryitforourselves ifwewant “proof”, since Truth isself-evident. Wehave come
toaccept asobvious thefactthatlivefood (uncooked fruit, vegetables, nuts andseeds)
imparts themost perfect state ofhealth possible. Wehave experienced ourbodies’ self-
healing powers andlearned about fasting asameans ofallowing ourbodies thechance
torestanddivert alltheir energyintohealing. Wehave decided thatmedicine andherbs
interfere with thebody’ sself-directed healing actions, andthatsuppression ofsymptoms
(which aremanifestations ofthehealing process going on)likewise interferes with the
body’ sinnate wisdom. Wehave found thathealth isproduced only byhealthful living
andthatsickness willvanish only when cause isremoved (notwhen symptoms aresup-
pressed). That about sums it up in a nutshell.

by W alter Last
This section deals mainly with the non-physical energies, variously called life-force, bio-energy, prana, chi, ki, orgone energy, od, and
many other names. It is this energy level that we most easily see as the innermost aura around living objects or that we sometimes
feel as various sensations such as heat or tingling in our body, especially when transferring energy as with 'laying on of hands' or
Reiki. It is also the energy that fuels our sexuality and that we feel most strongly during orgasm.
This energy circulates in our acupuncture system and its vortexes form our chakra system. It is not only at the base of most
paranormal or psychic phenomena, but is also the healing agent of many natural therapies. Homeopathy can only be understood as
a bio-energy phenomenon that is why it is so ﬁercely rejected by conventional medicine. While bio-energy is still unknown to orthodox
science, it is an everyday experience of many sensitive individuals.
Bio-energies are part of the vast range of etheric energy. Just as electromagnetic energies have a wide range of wavelengths or
frequencies, so also have the etheric energies. On one side of their spectrum they border on the electromagnetic spectrum while on
the other side they merge into the emotional energies. Furthermore, as visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so the
bio-energy that we use as life force in our body is part of the etheric spectrum.
A relatively easy way to learn feeling bio-energy is to shake the body and especially the arms and hands rapidly for about a minute
together with deep and fast breathin g and then stop suddenly. Remain completely still with the arms slightly raised in front of your
abdomen or chest as if holding a large beach ball. Concentrate on the sensation in your hands and arms.
For an excellent site on the orgone energy research of Wilhelm Reich as well as links to other bio-energy sites see the Public
Orgonomic Research Exchange (PORE) at http://orgone.org/ or see the writings of Wilhelm Reich. In 1957 the FDA burned six tons
of his books, and he died in a federal jail for his bio-energy work.
In addition to food and air, we need a balanced intake of electromagnetic energies. These include sunlight, colors, the Earth's
magnetic ﬁeld and the electric ﬁeld between the ionosphere and the ground.
ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGIES
Electricity - Minimize Pollution
Strong electromagnetic ﬁelds of about 50 to 60 cycles per second (hertz, or Hz) are harmful to us. These ﬁelds exist around power
lines, power tools, electric stoves, heaters, boilers, freezers and television sets when in use, extending several feet or yards around
the appliance. Stay away from them if possible.
Try to minimize electromagnetic pollution, especially while sleeping when the pineal gland is most susceptible and sleep in the dark
or at least cover your eyes to produ ce the immune-stimulating hormone  melatonin. Switch off al power points and unplug all electric
leads with 2-prong plugs in the bedroom before going to sleep, watch that there are no live electric wires inside the wall near the
head and try to sleep with the head in a northerly direction or otherwise towards the east.
Some dowsers claim to have discovered harmful earth rays from fault lines and underground streams under the beds of most cancer
victims. Try to ﬁnd someone who is able to check the location of your bed for harmful underground radiation, even if you sleep on an
upper ﬂoor.
For more information on electromagnetic pollution and how you can protect yourself see the article Electromagnetic Pollution.
The DC Field of the Earth
We live in a natural DC ﬁeld. The surface of the Earth has a negative electric charge and the ionosphere a positive charge of about
50,000 volts. (However, the electric currents involved are extremely small.) Near the surface, the voltage differs greatly. It is highest
on mountains and in dry conditions where it can reach 1000 volts per meter, while in low-lying and moist conditions it falls to below 50
volts. Populations with exceptionally long life spans always seem to live in the mountains, such as in the Andes, the Himalayas and
the Caucasus.
In buildings with roofs of metal or steel-reinforced concrete, the ﬁeld is near zero. There may even be counter-ﬁelds caused by the
static electricity of plastic materials and synthetic carpets. Even worse are houses that have metal walls as well; whether they are of
corrugated iron, coating or insulation material with aluminum, wire mesh or reinforced concrete. Getting fresh air through open
windows will improve the condition to some extent.
In a high-DC ﬁeld our wellbeing and mental abilities are increased, while in a low ﬁeld we easily become fatigued and our
concentration suffers. Electrodes that produce a ﬁeld of 1000-2000 volts inside ofﬁces and houses have been used with good results
in Germany. If you are living in a conventional modern house, it would be preferable to have at least the bedroom or sleeping place
free of shielding metals or possibly sleep in summer on the veranda. This is especially important someone with a serious chronic

https://health-science-spirit.com/Energies/Bio-energies.html 1/10disease. Another effect of the DC ﬁeld is a possible imbalance in the ion distribution in our body when habitually wearing shoes with
rubber soles. W alking barefoot, especially on fresh or moist grass, on the other hand, allows our inner polarity to readjust itself.
The Earth's Magnetic Field
The magnetic ﬁeld of the Earth is about 0.5 gauss. It has been much higher in the past and is presently still decreasing. Generally, life
forms are bigger, more vital and longer living in a stronger magnetic ﬁeld. Most people will ﬁnd it best to sleep with the head in a
northerly direction, while an easterly direction is sometimes beneﬁcial; facing towards the west, however, is often weakening. In the
southern hemisphere try also sleeping with the head to the south. Experiment to ﬁnd your best direction.
SUNLIGHT
On the level of energies, sunlight is our primary source of life and provides a combination of bio-energy and electromagnetic
energies. Light to moderate sun exposure is beneﬁcial. Except in winter do not sunbathe during the hours around midday. Preferably
expose your whole body as often as possible for a few minutes to the early morning or late afternoon sun. This may be in the garden,
on the veranda or even inside a room with an open window. In addition, it is beneﬁcial to sit lightly clothed in the half-shade as for
instance under a tree. W e absorb the bio-energies of the sunlight through our clothing.
While short exposure to the sun is invigorating, long sunbathing is exhausting. In addition, long sunbathing ages the skin and may
cause skin cancer, especially at the beach. It may also cause an overactivity of the parathyroid glands. Vitamin supplements can
protect us from these dangers. In addition to PABA and other B vitamins we need plenty of antioxidants, bioﬂavonoids and
carotenoids as sun protection. Except for zinc cream or a solution of PABA, I am not in favor of using sunscreen lotions; instead use
suitable clothing for protection as required. Sunscreens contain unbiological chemicals, and it has been reported that most
commercial sunscreens kill skin cells and so may inﬂict long-term skin damage.
Research shows that there is a strong


 side with the other person’ s weakness instead
of having the courage to inspire their strength. In the world of the treatment
of addictions, dependency, codependency, and the like, this is called being
an enabler. It means we feed into the other person’ s weakness. That is truly
being hard-hearted and not coming from the courage of heart- heartedness.
Heart-hearted means to protect the other person’ s integrity even though they
are unable to see it at the present time. True strength is always accompanied
by kindn ess, gentleness, and softness of expression. That position is one of
choice and not one of compulsion.
Heart-hearted is in a position of freedom, power, and invuln erability.
Once we own it within ourselves, we know henceforth that we are
bulletproof. The world can anno y us. It can knock over our sand castles. But
it can no longer get to us where we live. Flexibility is power. We see the
power to survive in the animal with its fur and loose skin. If I grab the skin
of my cat, I can pull it up several inches without causing any discomfort.
What that means is that an opponent in attacking a cat gets a mouthful of
fur and skin. The vital organs are not endangered. The cats have theirendless fights and both survive. This is to make clear that align ing with the
principle doesn’ t mean to be inflexible or rigid. We’re free to move in any
direction because we’re not anchored “out there.”
The sumo wrest ler may appear to belie that principle. He seems to have
mastered the whole principle of being rooted and anchored. He squats there
like a rhinoceros  or a Mack truck, looking like he’s pulled down by double
gravity; indeed he is. So what’ s the secret of the sumo wrestler? It’s the
solidness of his anchoring and the fulcrum of his balance when he throws
his opponent. It is flexibility that throws the opponent. The solidity of the
wrestler ’s anchoring merely increases the power effect of his flexibility. It’s
like the power return of a hard surface is greater than the powe r return of a
soft surface.
Do-gooders, Goody Two-shoes, and Pollyannas are all positioned in
weakness becau se they are coming from “out there.” They’re trying to
influence the A→ B→ C. They’ re not moving to the level of cause. This is
why the pen is mightier than the sword.
When we align with, identify with, or defend the A → B→ C, it becomes
obvious that we are exposed. We are vulnerable. We have taken a position;
therefore, we invited opposition from the polarized or opposi ng position.
What looks like winning could only be a temporary phenomen on with no
reality behind it. We read of the merchants who were shot to death by a
robber when trying to defend their paltry $56 in their cash register. We feel
sorry for them because they clearly did not know what was called for in the
situation. They were being foolish rather than brave or courageous.
Courage is a more than exhibi ting strength. It’s knowing what to lend
your strength to.
OceanofPDF.comTHE SUCCESS EXPRESS
Now that we know something about the terrain over which we will be
traveling, the rules of the road, and something about our destination, which
is actual ly our starting point, we’re ready to acid-test this model. Namely,
does it work? Well, I’ll tell you, we don’t need an MBA  from Harvard to
make it work. We just need to follow these nine steps.
Step 1: Examine our ABC befor e we do anything at all about the A→
B→ C. Does the origin al founding principle from which we are operating
have universal appeal? Could everyone wholeheartedly subscribe if it were
known to them? If not, our success is automatically limited from the start.
Let’s look at the example of Nazi Germany on an international level,
which for a while certainly seem ed to have all the earmarks of a winner. It
had assembled the most impressive and powerful military force ever
gathered on the planet at the time. Yet it went down the tubes. What was its
rallying cry? “Deutschland über alles.” “Germany above all” does not
exactly have a universal appeal, does it? We could hardly capture the hearts
of Belgians, the French, the English, or anyone else, for that matter.
If our start-of f motive is to win a prize, or sell more cars than the other
auto dealer in town, or get rich and famous, we can’t even get off the
starting line to real success. That we should become rich, famous, and
powerful may appeal to us. But what is of interest to other people is what
makes them  rich, famous, and powerful. If we have a service that will helpothers achieve those goals, then we have one that will have universal
appeal.
I often wonder why people who come from that position don’t question
why the universe would have any particular interest in supporting their
winning over someone else’s. The universe has no reason to do that and so
it doesn’t. If our goals are egoce ntric, for the good of us only, even with the
rationalization that it’s for the wife and kids, we’re on our own. Ambition
alone won’ t do it. Everyone wants to be rich and famous; such people are a
dime a dozen. If our purpose is to make this a better world to live in for
everyone or to increase the safety, joy, and beauty of life, then everyone can
subscribe to that. Coming from a universal principle is coming from power.
Coming from self-interest is coming from force.
We could try to force success, but don’t forget the rule of the universe:
Force meets with counterforce.  We’re trying to wag the dog from its tail.
It’s putting the cart before the horse. It’s confusing cause and effect. We
may make considerable money at it for a while, but success is something
else altogether. And what we are talking about here is success.
When we are truly successful, the world applauds us. It applauds because
we demonstrate  something that is universal and that they share within
themselves. The world always applauds nobility because we are
demonstrating and owning what others wish they could find the strength
and courage to own within themselves. By this we don’t mean fairy-tale
idealism. If we want to provide the best quality for the lowest possible price
with the fastest and most efficient service, and improve the quality of life,
no one will oppose us. There’ s always room for quality in this world in
every area of life. We all need another good accountant, lawyer, doctor,
dentist, mechanic, and TV repairman. The world makes room for the best.
Step 2: Determ ine if what we want to do is what we enjoy doing.  We
watch people forcing themselves to go to work in the morning because they
have convinced themselves to go into some kind of business, but their heart
is not in it. The way to be a success is to do what we like to do, to enjoy
what we do, and, therefore, do it to the best of our abilities. That way we
won’ t have to push ourselves.
I had a patient  who was mise rable in his business, although it was
successful. He had plenty of money, yet he complained that he’d lost his
interest in life. He hated to go to work in the morning. He was irritable withhis kids. He was depressed. He was not receiving any sympathy or support
from his friends or family, though, as they all looked at him with envy. He
had everything the world could offer—Cadillacs, a fancy house in the
suburbs, titles. He was presiden t of the corporation. His income  was in the
millions. He had a great wife and kids. Still, he was asking himself, “What’ s
all this for?”
To find out what he really liked to do, I asked him what his hobby was.
He had a little workshop in his house, and he said, “Doc, this will sound
crazy to you, but I love to make dollhouses.” He made dollhouses for his
own children and for his nieces, nephews, and cousins. I asked  him, “Did
you ever sell any dollhouses?” He said, “Oh, I never thought of that. I put
so much  time and effort in them that I could never make money selling
them.” I said, “Well, for fun, why don’t you take the one you’re working on
now, figure out a price that would be profitable, put a price tag on it, put it
on consignment in any store that will allow it, but not in a toy store where it
will get lost and not be seen among the overwhelming assortm ent of other
merchandise.” He did. He knew someone who owned a hardware store,
who displayed the dollhouse and used it to help sell stair treads (there was a
little staircase in the dollhouse).
The dollhouse sold in short order. The next one he made he put as display
only and took orders. Pretty soon he had to farm out some of the work. He
had other people


	children	in	areas	where	there	had	been	no	cases	of	polio	since

the	preceding	autumn;	in	9	out	of	10	cases	the	paralysis	occurred	in	the	arms	in

which	the	vaccine	had	been	injected."	(News	Chronicle,	May	6,	1955)

According	to	the	Daily	Telegraph	(June	18,	1955)	Mr.	Peterson,	State	Health

Director	of	Idaho,	stopped	further	inoculations	and	stated:

"We	have	lost	confidence	in	the	Salk	Vaccine."	He	also	stated	that	he	"holds	the

vaccine,	together	with	the	instructions	for	its	manufacture,	directly	responsible

for	the	outbreak	of	polio	and	the	deaths	that	had	occurred."
The	serum	makers	were	gambling	for	big	stakes	and	decided	that	the	"show	must

go	on"	in	spite	of	death	and	disaster.	The	condemned	Cutter	laboratory	had	over

a	million	dollars	worth	of	deadly	vaccine	on	hand	and	the	disasters	had	caused

its	stock	to	drop	from	$15.50	to	$8.75	per	share,	(according	to	Time,	June	20,

1955).	The	other	5	laboratories	with	their	$8,000,000	supply	of	"Salk	liability"

were	involved	also	because	deaths	and	disease	were	being	reported	from	their

vaccines	every	day.	Then	suddenly	the	deaths	from	Salk	vaccine	ceased	to	be

reported.	In	a	letter	published	in	Defender	Magazine,	the	writer	stated:

"I	am	informed	by	someone	who	works	in	a	newspaper	office	that	much	of	the

bad	news	concerning	the	results	of	the	Salk	Program	is	being	censored	and

deleted	out	of	the	news	to	keep	people	complacent	and	acquiescent."

SOME	COUNTRIES	REJECT	VACCINES

In	Australia	when	a	few	children	died	as	a	result	of	smallpox	vaccinations	the

government	abolished	compulsory	vaccination	in	that	country	and	smallpox

suddenly	declined	to	the	vanishing	point.	Australia	had	only	three	cases	of

smallpox	in	15	years	as	compared	with	Japan’s	record	of	165,774	cases	and

28,979	deaths	from	this	cause	in	only	7	years	(1886-1892)	under	compulsory

vaccination	and	revaccination.

In	Austria,	where	Bela	Schick	invented	the	Schick	test	for	diphtheria,	it	killed

several	children	and	the	rulers	there	declared	it	to	be	too	dangerous	and

prohibited	its	use	in	that	country.	Apparently	Mr.	Schick	was	not	concerned	with

such	trivialities	as	death	and	disease;	he	was	out	to	make	money.	Most	of	the

European	countries	didn’t	trust	him	and	rejected	his	poisons,	so	he	brought	it	to

America	where	he	knew	the	unscrupulous	medical	and	drug	trusts	dominate	the

healing	field.	Here	he	found	a	ready	market.	A	lush	harvest	was	promised	and

the	customary	pressure	technique	was	turned	on	and	the	exploitable	public	was

again	used	and	abused.	So	we	have	seen	with	the	passing	of	years,	that	the

Schick	test	and	diphtheria	antitoxin	continue	to	take	their	toll	of	lives	while	our

elected	officers	and	public	protectors	look	the	other	way.

To	show	how	death,	disease	and	failure	of	vaccination	is	ignored	in	this	country,

in	favor	of	fabulous	profits	for	a	few,	let	us	recall	one	of	the	many	disasters	that

bear	this	out:
	In	Dallas,	Texas,	10	children	died	as	a	direct	result	of	the	"safe"	diphtheria

antitoxin	shots.	For	every	one	who	died,	hundreds	suffered	from	the	various

vaccine	diseases,	many	of	which	left	permanent	disabilities.	This	is	not	a	special

case;	it	is	typical	of	all	vaccinations.	But	most	parents	do	not	sue	and	the	other

cases	never	reach	public	notice.	But	these	Texas	parents	were	not	to	be	"put	off"

by	medical	excuses.	Numerous	damage	suits	were	brought	against	the	doctors

and	the	serum	manufacturer,	H.	K.	Mulford	Co.	The	doctors	succeeded	in

evading	the	issue	by	claiming	that	it	was	a	bad	batch	of	serum.	(All	serum	is	bad

that	doesn’t	stop	them).	The	Mulford	Co.	insisted	that	it	was	not	a	bad	batch	of

serum	but	was	just	the	same	as	all	their	serum	and	this	lot	(series	A	377061)	had

been	re-tested	and	passed	satisfactorily	all	the	tests	and	requirements	conforming

to	the	laboratory	of	the	Public	Health	Service	at	Washington	D.C.

The	complaints	of	the	parents	were	that	"the	diphtheria	antitoxin	sold	by	the

Mulford	Co.,	was	unfit,	poisonous,	dangerous	and	deadly."	The	doctors	and

serum	company	displayed	great	dexterity	in	juggling	terms,	inventing	excuses

and	denying	guilt	but	the	children	were	still	just	as	dead	as	a	result	of	shots	from

the	"whitewashed"	serum	as	if	they	had	been	shot	with	bullets,	and	it	was

irrefutably	proved	in	court	that	the	vaccine	serum	killed	them.	Damages

aggregating	$78,000	were	paid	to	the	parents	of	the	dead	children,	by	the

Mulford	Co.	The	Mulford	Co.	wishing	to	continue	in	the	same	blood	poisoning

business	and	also	wishing	to	dodge	public	disapproval,	had	its	attorneys	specify

that	"the	judgement	shall	fall,	not	on	the	Mulford	Co.	but	on	Mr.	Pierce	Russell,

the	Mulford	distributor."	He	was,	probably,	the	least	guilty	of	any	of	them

because	he	could	not	have	contaminated	the	sealed	ampules	of	vaccines.

However,	his	employer,	undoubtedly	made	it	worth	his	while—financially...to

take	the	blame.	In	this	type	of	"white	collar"	murder,	(the	legally	proved),	guilty

parties	are	not	reprimanded	or	even	asked	to	cease	and	desist"	from	a

continuance	of	the	crimes.

ALL	VACCINES	CAN	CAUSE	POLIO

"Mrs.	Helen	B.	Covington,	of	Kensington,	Pa.	filed	a	$150,000	suit	in	the	United

States	District	Court,	against	Wyeth	Inc.	Philadelphia	drug	manufacturer,

charging	that	an	anti-rabies	vaccine	had	produced	paralysis"	(The	Truth	Teller	p

26,	Aug	1947).

Dr	William	F	Koch	(MD,	PhD)	stated	that	"THE	INJECTION	OF	ANY

SERUM,	VACCINE,	OR	EVEN	PENICILLIN,	HAS	SHOWN	A	VERY
	MARKED	INCREASE	IN	THE	INCIDENCE	OF	POLIO,	AT	LEAST	400%.

STATISTICS	ON	THIS	ARE	SO	CONCLUSIVE,	NO	ONE	CAN	DENY	IT."

The	United	States	Public	Health	Bureau	is	extremely	reticent	about	reporting

diseases	caused	by	vaccination	but	the	report	from	1922	to	1931	admitted	that

there	had	been	85	cases	of	post	vaccinal	encephalitis,	which	DeKruif	states	"is

the	twin	of	infantile	paralysis."

In	St.	Louis	(1933)	after	a	typhoid	vaccination	campaign	there	was	an	outbreak

of	encephalitis	(a	form	of	polio)	in	which	over	100	died.	It	w
