 Freedom
does  not have  those  qualities  existing  within  Him  or Her. Therefore,  when  I say to you,  the Great  Power  of My Love
is anchored  within  your  Heart,  I mean  it literally  and  phys-
ically,  as well  as Divinely! Will  you  all—every  one  of you—do  Me the kindness,  be-
fore the opening  of the Class,  to read  the last  chapter  of
the Magic  Presence? Will  you  do Me this  kindness,  and
as you  start  to read  on thru  that  chapter,  will  you  be kind
enough  to feel  yourself  in the place  of this  Good  Brother,
during  His  Experience? It was  Real,  I assure  you! Then,
allow  Me to do that  which  I wish  to do for you. Oh,  Pre-
cious  Ones,  please  understand,  We  do not care  about  the
puny  human  mistakes,  which  human  beings  have  made. All We want  is their  earnestness  in their  attention  to their
"Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  which  will  enable  Us to do for
them  what  they  cannot  do themselves;  and  which  We can-
not do for them  unless,  they  will  give  their  Earnest  Atten-
tion to the Presence! Do you  not see,  how  thru  the centuries,  We  were  lim-
ited;  because  human  Beings  did not know  their  Presence? Without  their  attention  to the Presence,  We  were  not per-48 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES
mitted—because  the Law  would  not permit  Us—to  release
This  Help. Now  the  Great  Cosmic  Light  does! Oh,  the
Glory  for mankind! There  was  no Release  of the Light  into
the Earth,  except  at long  intervals. I mean  there  were  no
Great  Cosmic  Impulses  of That  Light  to help  mankind. Now  since  Beloved  Saint  Germain  has brought  This  Activ-
ity forth,  It comes  with  Dynamic  Power  twice  a year! This
time,  on the 7th of April,  there  was  a Sufficient  Activity
of the Cosmic  Law  for the Light  to release;  because  of the
need  and  Blessing  of mankind  today! This  will  come  again
in July. On the seventh  of July  there  will  come  a still Might-
ier Flow  and  Impulse  of That  Great  Cosmic  Light  into  the
Earth! I think  most  of you  have  read  Washington's  Vision,  if
not, you  will  perhaps  in the near  future. I say to you,  the
last episode  in His  Vision  which  was  a Mighty  Reality,  is
what  We  are trying  to prevent  acting  in America  today. Only  by enough  Calls  from  the sincere  students  of the "I
AM"  in America,  can it be prevented. When  Beloved  Saint
Germain  was  talking  last Sunday  morning  at this  Precious
One's  Group,  We allowed  this  Good  Brother  to see the Ac-
tivity  of the Cosmic  Light  which  took  place! In the third
episode  of Washington's  Vision,  you  will  notice  the Great
Being  states,  as the expression  was  used  by the narrator:
"that  a dark  angel  in the center  of the Atlantic,"  was  the
one who  seemed  to be the instigator  of that  activity,  which
took  place  in what  followed! IN THE  PLACE  OR  PO-
SITION  OF  THAT  BEING,  A PILLAR  OF  LIGHT DISCOURSE  VIII  49
WAS  PLACED  LAST  SUNDAY  MORNING  IN THE
CENTER  OF  THE  ATLANTIC,  WHICH  WILL
REMAIN  AND  DO  ITS  PERFECT  WORK! We mention  fragments  of These  Great  Activities  for your
Encouragement,  Strength  and  Blessing. If enough  of the
"I AM"  Students—I  do not necessarily  mean  in numbers—
but if enough  Earnestness  is released  by These  Mighty  De-
crees  from  mankind,  then  a great  part  of this  destructive
activity,  which  would  otherwise  take  place  and  sweep  over
America,  may  be forestalled. Is there  any  one  of the Blessed  Ones  in America  or the
World  today,  who  does  not want  to see that  done ? Then,
do you  not understand,  Dear  Hearts,  what  a tragedy  it is,
when  Individuals  are so unfortunate  as to be vicious  enough,
to try and  oppose  these  Beloved  Messengers;  in the Free-
dom  and  Protection  which  they  alone  have  been  responsible
for bringing  into  America;  to prevent  such  frightful  de-
struction  taking  place  in America ? That  frightful  destruc-
tion is not only  thru  the cataclysmic  activity;  but  it is the
destructive  thing  which  has been  generated  in Europe  for
centuries,  which  would  one  day  try to sweep  the Earth! These  are Mighty  Truths,  Dear  Hearts. They  are not to
try and  frighten  any  one;  but  mankind  needs  to know
that in the Call  to the "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"  is the only
Power  which  can  release  enough  energy,  to bring  about
Protection  and  allow  the Great  Law  of your  Life  to act;
to prevent  these  things  which  otherwise  must  be the ex-
perience  of mankind! 50 THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES
Mankind  has  gone  thru  thousands  of embodiments  in
the experience  Life;  and  the people  have  not  gained  any
Freedom  thru  it. Now  today,  when  the Light  of the World
stands  before  you,  in the Understanding  of your  "Mighty
I AM  Presence,"  and  the calling  of Its Power  into  action;
then  think  what  It means  to you  in These  Wonderful
Groups,  who  are issuing  These  Mighty  Decrees  with  dy-
namic  energy;  to go forth  in the mental  and  feeling  world
of mankind! The  Mighty  Majestic  Far-reaching  Activity
of Those  Decrees,  is beyond  the fondest  hopes  of any  hu-
man  intellect. Tonight,  We bring  to your  attention  from  the Great  Cos-
mic Light,  These  Mighty  Truths. If you  can  accept  This
Truth  and  feel  Its Reality,  then  much  can  be done  during
This  Class. We  brought  the Messengers  here  at this  time,
to save  your  New  York. One  day,  not so far hence,  you  will
know  the Truth  of My Words,  which  I have  spoken  to you
tonight. Will  not  all of you  take  your  stand  for the Pro-
tection  and  Blessing  of this  Coming  Class,  so the Greatest
Possible  Good  may  come  to New  York  out  of it, and  the
Greatest  Harmony  possible? It is you,  Precious  Ones,  here
who  need  it, not the Messengers;  but  their  Love  has been
great  enough  to face  the frightful  destructive  feeling,  sent
out from  these  vicious  ones  in the world  who  are acting
here. The  Messengers'  Love  has been  great  enough  to give
the Assistance. Beloved  Ones,  you  are Fortunate! Most  Fortunate! and
one day,  you  will  every  one  of you  tell Me so and  repeat DISCOURSE  VIII  51
back  to Me Those  Words. Will  you  think  for just  one  mo-
ment  what  It means  to have  become  a Part  of Myself! Now
remember,  It is not this  physical  form  here  I am speaking
of, It is My Own  Blazing  Form  of Light


—there  must  arise  a mighty  sincere  Honest  Individ-
ual, whom  the people  will  at once  see is their  friend;  and
then  would  come  the solution  of the same  problem  in every
country  in the world. Treachery  and  deceit  in high  places,  has  brought  the
distrust  of the mass  of mankind  and  they  do not  know
upon  whom  they  can depend;  but as the Cosmic  Light  in-
creases  Its Intensification  in the Earth,  We  are trying  to so
adjust  It, there  will  be raised  up in those  countries—Individ-
uals of Power,  which  will  call  forth  the Power  of Light  to
sustain  them  in their  Honesty,  Honor,  Integrity  and  Bless-
ing to their  fellow-man. It is the only  hope. We hope  they  will  reach  a great  fruition;  and  possibly
as We find  progress,  We may  ask the Students  of the United
States  to add  a special  Decree  for this. You  have  been  using
the Decree  that  Ascended  Master  Friends  be raised  up
everywhere—a  most  magnificent  thing;  but  now  decree  a 274 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
Great  Honest,  Honorable  Individual  whose  Light  is strong
enough,  be raised  up in every  country  in Europe;  and  the
confidence  of the people  rest there;  so the Power  of Light's
Constructive  Activity  takes  Its Dominion. One more  thing  I want  to say to you. You  may  not com-
prehend  it; but at least  in your  attention,  you  can and  con-
template  it, if you  will. Beginning  in this  Class,  there  will
go forth  a Power  of Radiation  to Russia  and  her people,  to
try to bring  the Great—the  vast  Remedy  which  is needed. Should  this become  victorious,  then  you  can feel a Gratitude
and Service  rendered  which  will  be beyond  all words  to
describe. Remember,  the beginning  of this  destructive  ele-
ment  was  in Russia,  in connection  with  the three  individ-
uals in New  York,  who  started  this  frightful  destruction  to
mankind  and  the Earth. Once  not  so long  ago,  We  thought  there  seemed  to be
no hope  to bring  this  transformation  into  Russia;  but recent
evidence  there,  has given  Us renewed  hope;  so We will  do
Our Utmost  to pour  forth  a Radiation  to the mass  of her
people;  to do what  We  could  scarcely  hope  for a short
time  ago. You are not only  solving  your  own  problems  and  holding
America's  Protection;  but  see how  It is reaching  into  the
Whole  Earth. It seems  so fragmentary  to you  I know,  but
in every  country  in the World,  there  are Groups  of "I AM"
Students;  some  places  small,  but enough  so We may  focus
This  Mighty  Power  of Light  at those  points. In South  Africa,  where  as Washington's  Vision  has DISCOURSE  XVIII  275
shown,  was  to arise  that  great  cloud  to submerge  America;
there  has  been  drawn  and  established  a Mighty  Sincere
Group  of "I AM"  Students. It is magnificent. Shall  I tell
you what  they  said  concerning  some  destructive  literature
which  went  even  to Africa. You  know  how  the sinister
thing,  tries  to do such  things,  tries  to spread  its destruction
everywhere. When  its destructive  literature  reached  those
students,  momentarily  they  were  shocked. Then  they  gath-
ered  themselves  together  and  said:  "Well  if those  Messen-
gers are good  enough  for the Ascended  Masters,  then  they
are good  enough  for us,"  and  they  dispelled  the whole  thing
at once. That  was  magnificent,  and  what  A Great  Truth
they  uttered. Therefore,  Beloved  Ones,  you  see how  these  destructive
elements  have  no power,  if there  is only  a Nucleus  for this
Anchor  of the Light  within  a place  or locality. In the var-
ious countries  of Europe,  wonderful  sincere  Groups  of Stu-
dents  are applying  these  Decrees  with  dynamic  Power;  and
We shall  give  them  more  than  Ordinary  Assistance,  you
can be sure. I want  you  to know  how  great  is your  Blessing  and  Priv-
ilege. This  Light,  your  "I AM  Presence,"  your  Life,  is the
Freedom  of yourself  and  the World. So let us enter  in with
renewed  Enthusiasm,  Joy  and  Energy  into  your  Decree
Work,  for It releases  the Substance  required. You  cannot
help  but know,  as you  render  This  Service  to America  and
mankind,  it would  be impossible  for you  not to have  your
own  Freedom. 276 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
Just one  more  word  concerning  your  finances. Dear
Hearts,  please  accept  this  and  feel  it with  all the Power  of
your  Being. There  is not one  of you  here,  or among  the
"I AM"  Students,  who  is earnest  and  sincere,  who  could
not before  retiring,  stand  and  raise  your  hands  to the Pres-
ence  something  like  this  and  then  say:  "'Mighty  I AM
Presence.'I refuse  acceptance  of any  financial  limitation
any longer. I positively  refuse  it. Take  command  of me
and my feeling  world. Release  thru  Your  Power  of Divine
Love,  the supply  of money  I require  now. " There  is not one  of you  who  could  not have  it released
in forty-eight  hours,  if you  would  only  realize  it. Try  to
feel that,  with  renewed  enthusiasm  and  a Tremendous  Re-
lease  of energy. It will  bring  about  your  Freedom  in this
respect,  so It gives  you  rest  and  Peace  in your  feeling,  that
your  Application  does  tremendously  more  in all you  re-
quire. I am  determined,  if you  will  allow  Me,  to assist  every
sincere  "I AM"  Student  in America  to be Free,  from  all
feeling  of financial  limitation. Such  a thing  is not possible
in the Understanding  of your  "I AM  Presence. " If there
has been  a great  momentum  built,  by the human  sense  of
limitation;  then  call your  Presence  to dissolve  and  consume
every  vestige  of it in your  feeling  world;  because  your  feel-
ing world  is your  Power-house,  and  there  is where  the
things  act. There  cannot  one thing  Out-picture  in your  physical  body
which  does  not have  its cause  in your  feeling  world,  and DISCOURSE  XVIII  277
just remember  that. I call  into  action  today,  the Mighty
Love,  Wisdom  and  Power  of your  "Mighty  I AM  Pres-
ence,"  to take  command  of your  mind,  body,  your  feeling
and your  world  of activity;  produce  Its Perfection  and  hold
Its Dominion,  and  bring  to everyone  his or her complete
financial  release  from  all limitations. Take  out of each  one's
feeling  world  every  feeling,  which  has  accepted  financial
limitation,  because  of the appearance  world. Set all Free,
Great  Presence  of Life,  and  give  them  such  Courage  and
Strength,  Joy and  Enthusiasm  in their  Application;  the re-
sults  become  so instantaneous,  that  all doubts  and  fears


with information  about the positioning of the head in relation to the rest of
the body.People with joint position sense error have an increased incid ence of
neck pain.46 Many studies have shown reduced postural control with neck
pain49 and following fatigue, anesthesia, or vibration of the neck musc les.50
According to one 2019 study, the neck area is the only region with direct
access to the senses of sight and balance.45 While many different
mechanisms and systems contribute to a healthy sense of proprioception,
disturbance to the nerve signals in the neck is believed to be one possible
cause of symptoms including unsteadiness, dizziness, chronic lower back
pain, and dysfunctional postural stability.45
SUBSYSTEMS OF POSTURAL ST ABILITY
Problems in the three dimensions of breathing can lead to a variety of
painful postural adaptations. In 1992, Yale University Professor Emeritus
Manohar Panjabi suggested another way to understand spinal stabilization
and its impact on the body’ s system.51 Panjabi suggested that the stability of
the spine relies on three subsystems:
1. The passive subsystem—the vertebrae, discs, and ligaments
2. The active subsystem—all the muscles and tendons surrounding the spinal column
that can apply forces to the spinal column
3. The neural subsystem—the nerves and central nervous system, which assesses
what is needed for spinal stability by monitoring signals and directs the active
subsystem to provide that stability51
Dysfunction in any of these three subsystems may lead to short-term
compensation by the other subsystems, long-term adaptation, or injury51. When adaptation is only temporary, it is still possible for the system to
maintain normal function, but when the problem persists, alterations
develop in the systems that stabilize the spine. When injury occurs,
dysfunction is introduced into the whole system. This manifests as
symptoms including lower back pain. Conversely, when these subsystems
function correctly, the body can adapt to accommodate extra loads or
complex postur es. In this instance, the neural subsystem works to alter
recruitment of muscles to temporarily “superchar ge” spinal stability. Significant evidence indicates how altered breathing patte rns can
negatively influe nce these neurological and muscular systems, contributingto the onset or persistence of dysfunction in the lumbopelvic region. Let’s
look at this in terms of the three dimensions of treatment for breathing
pattern disorders:
Biochemical:  Hyperventilation decreases levels of blood CO2 and
causes a higher pH in tissues and body fluids. This triggers changes in the
nervous system and the way it moderates input from the eyes and ears, and
negatively impa cts postural control.52 Breathing exercises that normalize
levels of blood CO 2 help bring these systems back into balance. Biomechanical : Fatigue in the inspiratory muscles causes “a rigid
proprioceptive postural control strategy,” like that observed in patients with
lower back pain. You know how stiffly you hold your muscles  when your
back hurts in an attempt to avoid pain? This actually inhibits postural
stability and may explain why many people with lower back pain
experience recurrence of their injury.53
When the breathing muscles become overworked and exhausted,
proprioceptive input from the lower back also becomes less reliable. This
disrupts the way the brain receives and processes information and can
impact postural control. Remem ber, diaphragm function is a key aspect of
spinal stability through the creation of IAP. The diaphragm is the primary
muscle of the respiratory system and sustains posture and stability. When
chronic over breathing occurs, the diaphragm cannot maintain support of
both systems. Postural control will be compromised as the body always
prioritizes its need for oxygen. By practicing diaphragm breathing through
the nose, you will increase oxygenation and gain better postura l support of
the spine and pelvis. Cadence:  A pape r from 2020 reported that paced diaphragm breathing
at six breaths per minute can reduce pain. This effect was enhanced when
the exhalation was longer than the inhalation.54 This may be because
autonomic imbalance can itself directly contribute to pain. Breathing at six
breaths a minute activates the parasympathetic nervous system, inhibiting
sympathetic stress activation. There is a direct relationship between the level of diaphragm
dysfunction and the intensity of pain experienced by people who suffer with
lower back problems. One explanation is that, when chronic back pain is
present, the sympathetic nervou s system, which is responsible for the fight-or-flight response, becomes overstimulated. An overactive stress response
makes the body more sensitive to touch and increases perception of pain.55
Also, when breathing is predominantly into the upper chest, as it is when
the diaphragm is not functioning properly, it tends to involve a lar ge volume
of air and decrease in blood CO2. This creates a biochemical trigger for
panic symptoms, which feeds back into the stress response, making anxiety
worse. When treating musculoskeletal  pain, it is important to look at the
problem holistic ally. Trigger points can be deactivated with manual therapy. Pain in the spine and joints can be viewed in terms of muscle tension or as
the body compensating for muscle dysfunction by recruiting smaller
muscles. Alongside this, it is important to acknowledge the role of lifestyle,
psychological factors, and habits including sleep, posture, and breathing.56
It turns out that if you want to address chronic pain, the breat h, the most
fundamental and sustaining of all movement patterns, is a very good place
to start. OceanofPDF.comSCHAPTER SEVEN
SLEEP-DISORDERED BREATHING
leep is a behav ioral and neurological state in which homeo static
functions essent ial to health and well-being occur.1 Modern science
doesn’ t yet fully understand the purpose of sleep or its physiological
relationship with the autonomic nervous system. However, significant
research confirms the relationsh ip between quality of sleep and breathing—
and highlights the fact that sleep disorders and sleep-disordere d breathing
(SDB) are increasingly prevalent. When you are asleep, you probably are not aware that your breathing is
causing problem s. Your partner may complain that you snore, but unless
you know how to spot the signs, there’ s little obvious feedback as to
whether you breathe through your mouth or nose, or how fast, slow,
shallow, or deep your breathing  is.2,3,4 Regard less of your awareness, the
body prioritizes respiration. How you breathe when you are asleep is very
important. Just as your waking breathing patterns affect the functions of
your brain and body, nighttime  breathing affects the quality of your sleep
and to a lar ge extent, how each day subsequently unfolds. In the introduction to this book, I recounted how exhausted I felt during
my teens and early twenties due to poor breathing and sleeping habits. This
all changed after I learned to decongest and breathe through my nose and to
slow down my breathing. Two days after switching to nasal breathing
during sleep, I experienced what it was like to wake up feeling refreshed
and alert. I remember being amazed at the difference. Even if you don’t feel
like you are sleeping badly, if you suffer with nasal congestion due to
allergies, asthma, or rhinitis, you are almost twice as likely to experience
moderate to severe sleep-disordered breathing.5The following symptoms occur in people with SBD:
• Insomnia
• Snoring
• Sleep apnea
• Disrupted sleep
• Nightmares
• Nighttime asthma symptoms (usually around 3 a.m. to 5 a.m.)
• Needing to use the bathroom during the night
• Bed-wetting in children
• Fatigue first thing in the morning
• Dry mouth
• Symptoms upon waking, such as wheezing, coughing, breathlessness, or a stuf fy
nose
If you or your child commonly experiences one or more of these, it is likely
that you already know how disruptive insomnia, snoring, and sleep apnea
can be to sleep. A low BOL T score corresponds with strenuous,  upper chest
breathing and will result in many of the symptoms listed above. If you would like to sleep better and wake up feeling energized and
refreshed, this is easily achievable if you commit to adopting good
breathing habits  and increasing your BOL T score. The light, calm, nasal
breathing taught  throughout this book reduces snoring and obstr uctive sleep
apnea and activates the body’ s relaxation mode, leading to deeper and
better -quality sleep. By improving your BOL T score, you will regain
control of your breathing and alleviate many common problems. MOUTH BREA THING DURING SLEEP
To some extent, the knowledge I’m about to share with you has been around
for a long time. Yet for some reason, it has failed to become  part of the
common consci ousness. Way back at the end of the sixteenth century, the
Dutch physician and author Levinus Lemnius noted that breathing through
an open mouth results in poor sleep quality6. Around 200 years later in
1869, the American painter, author, and traveler Geor ge Catlin published a
book called Shut Your Mouth and Save Your Life. Caitlin observed that
Native America ns had a technique to ensure their babies


ists, and medical doctors who tried
to highlight the importance of nasal and functional breathing patterns, only
to be ridiculed by their peers. I know Professor John Mew and his son Dr.
Mike Mew from  the United Kingdom well. I have visited their clinic and
observed them working with patients. Both have done their best to highlight
the importance of nasal breathing and received bad press within the
industry. Doctors William Hang, Kevin Boyd, James Bronson, Tamara
Gray, Carlos O’Connor, and James Bartley, along with Joy Moeller, Licia
Paskay, Barbara Greene, Samantha Weaver Moeller, and Marc Moeller, toname but a few, have also worked tirelessly in their quest to help children
and adults. I have often wondered why an industry populated with highly intelligent
people armed with dental and medical degrees has failed to realize the
importance of nasal and functio nal breathing. Breathing retraining is safe,
simple, and economically viable. It applies to major fields of dentistry,
respiration, sleep, mental, and physical health. This same question was raised during a recent panel discussion held by
the Academy of Applied Myofunctional Sciences (AAMS). The answers
presented by each of the panelists suggested a lack of cooperation between
dentistry and medicine, lack of scientific research, and similar arguments. These are all valid points. However, I wasn’ t so guarded in my comments. My belief is that the real reason  breathing does not receive attention from
the medical and dental industrie s is that its therapeutic applica tions do not
promise signific ant profit. One thing is certain: if there were a promise of
lucrative return—the kind of money generated by big pharma and sleep
medicine—there would be interest. For breathing to be properly integrated
into medicine, it seems necessary for there to be either the prom ise of profit
or the avoidance of the kind of loss that might be encountered when patients
raise a lawsuit on realizing they were not of fered the best treatment. I am not claiming that breathin g is a cure-all. It is not a magic bullet. My intention is not for peop le to replace traditional treatments with
breathing exerc ises expecting a miracle. However, there is a role for
functional breathing alongside medicine. I can’t help but think back to 1994 when I had an operation to fix my
nose so that I could breathe better through it. The surgeon performed a
successful procedure, but nobody told me I needed to stop my habitual
mouth breathing. I continued to experience sleep-disordered breathing for
four years until I discovered the importance of nasal breathing in 1998. Three decades later, my four-year-old daughter had surgery to remove
her tonsils and adenoids. After the operation, there was no follow-up or
advice to suggest we should help her learn to breathe through her nose. It is
never sufficient to treat the nasal obstruction. It is crucial for the long-term
outcome to change the behavior of breathing. This fact is regularly
overlooked.To realize the potential application of breathing exercises, it is necessary
to practice. You can read this whole book and understand the importance of
light, slow, and deep nasal breathing, but your efforts will be wasted unless
you apply the exercises to your health. To begin with, set aside some time each day to devote to breathing
practice. It will be the best investment in your health and well-b eing. Wake
up 20 minutes earlier in the morning, sit down on a chair or the floor, cross-
legged or in the lotus position, close your eyes, and draw your attention to
your breathing. Gently soften and slow down your breath for 15 minutes to
generate a tolerable air hunger. As you go about your day, take some attention out of your mind and
direct it to your breath. Slow down your breathing with latera l expansion
and contraction of the lower ribs. Go for a walk or head to the gym and
apply light, slow, and deep breathing while you exercise. Remember the
mantra LSD, Light, Slow, and Deep. This book contains breathing exercises for everyone. Some stress the
body, others relax it, up-regulating and down-regulating your nervous
system. Most important, when you think of functional breathing, remember it is
not limited to the studio, to your practice, or to your workout. Functional
breathing pattern s are relevant during rest, sleep, and physical exercise, for
life. On a day-to-day basis, it is likely that much of your attention is
directed outward. Modern life is full of distractions. Emails, text messages,
social media alerts, work, and family all fight for your attention—to the
point that you surrender your attention outward. It is increasingl y rare for us
to bring our attention inward. For me, this mindfulness of the breath has been life changi ng. The
ability to shift my attention from my mind to my breath, to create space
between though ts, has given me a new outlook and focused my abilities
beyond what I would have thought possible. Y ou can trust that time given to
breathing practice will never go to waste. Functional breathing is a game
changer for health and performance. As you begin your practice, be patient. Progress does not alway s travel
in a straight line. We all have ups and downs over the years, and you will
have some bump s along the road. Persevere and make a continu ed effort to
bring good breathing into your way of life, and you will reap the rewards.To assis t you, our mobile apps, which are available free of charge,
contain guided exercises and instruction. We have two apps available:
ButeykoClinic is for children, teenagers, and adults and focuses mainly on
health. OxygenAdvantage is designed to help adults with health and sports
performance. I close by wishing you the very best in your application of functional
breathing patterns. OceanofPDF.comTCHAPTER SEVENTEEN
IS NASAL BREATHING YOUR FIRST LINE OF
DEFENSE AGAINST CORONAVIRUS? hroughout this book we have examined the importance of nasal
breathing. In the case of respiratory infections, research indicates
that where facemasks fail, the nose may provide a natural filter for
dangerous patho gens. We know that the nose filters, warms and humidifies
air on its way into the body, where mouth breathing does not. But as we
discussed in Chapters Three  and Ten, it may also help protect you from a
high viral load and the severe form of COVID-19. Let’s look at the research
in more detail. COVID-19 is a new disease. Little direct research is currently available
about its development, although knowledge is growing every day. However,
studies that have been published on similar illnesses may be significant. One key paper from 2005, shortly after the outbreak of SARS (severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus) reported that nitric oxide inhibits the
replication cycle of the virus. Although the total number of deaths relating
to COVI D-19 has far exceeded those recorded during the 2002–2003 SARS
epidemic, the current mortality rate is still much lower than that of SARS,
which killed 9.6% of those infected.1
Many people have asked why coronavirus is considered to be so much
more serious than the annual outbreak of influenza. In simple terms,
COVID-19 behaves very differently from flu and is much less well
understood. It has a very high viral load, and where flu results in a crippled
immune system, this new virus attacks a very specific type of cell called a
type 2 pneumocyte.2,3Type 2 pneumoc ytes are responsible for the production and secretion of
a molecule called surfactant, which reduces the surface tension of fluid in
the lungs and contributes to the elastic properties of the alveoli. It facilitates
oxygen transport to the blood and prevents lung collapse and edema. Now
imagine this function is comprom ised and it is easy why coronavirus can be
deadly for even a young, health y person, and why it can cause damage to
organs including the heart. In laboratory tests using Vero E6 cells, the authors of the 2005 study
found that nitric oxide has an antiviral effect, specifically inhibiting the
replication of the virus during early stages of infection. Their research
showed that NO inhibits viral protein and RNA synthesis—essential stages
of viral reproduction in SARS.4
Nitric oxide (NO) is produced in the paranasal sinuses. This means that
by breathing through the nose, we harness various properties of NO
including its pathogen-killing power. NO is understood to be a vasodilator
—it plays a role in the dilation of the blood vessels in the lungs so that
oxygen can be properly absorb ed from the air. But according  to a 1999
paper by scientists Lundber g and Weitzber g5, another biological function of
nitric oxide is the ef fect it has on the growth of various pathogens, including
viruses. What this tells us is that nitric oxide in the nasal airways could
represent an important first line of defense against infection. The existence
of nitric  oxide in exhaled air was first discovered in 1991.5 Later studies
clearly demonstrated that almo st all of this NO originates in the upper
airways, with only minor input from the lower respiratory tract and lungs. Nitric oxide (NO) has also been proven to be important for


 But the Queen is eternal; she cannot die. She can be
tortured, but she cannot die. A friend  recent ly spoke to me of a very powerful man on the East
Coast who has gained a reputation for toying cruelly with the hearts
of so-called powerful women. The question, of course, is how does a
powerful woman allow herself to be toyed with? What place of
wounded self-esteem makes her vulnerable to his emotionally
sadistic machinations? Perhaps, suggested my friend, I would
address this question in my book. “My book will not be about that,” I told her. “That man is a
dinosaur. His breed will die out.” Thousands of us have been intherapy, taken seminars, read extensively, and explored all other
means to personal growth in the last several years in order to learn
how to avoid those guys. We’ve prayed. We’ve been on our knees. Where were those women? Go into therapy. Go to a good bookstore. The buzz words now are recovery, wellness, hinging back joy. There’s a great story about recovering from attraction to
dangerous men. It goes like this: When you’re really ill, you don’t
even know a snake when you see one. Once recovery begins, you
see a snake and you know it’s a snake, but you still play with it. Once you’ve landed in true recovery zone, you see a snake, you
know it’s a snake, and you cross to the other side of the road. Until then, everyone you know can tell you the game is toxic with
that person, but you won’t listen because you think you’re dierent
or that he’ll be dierent with you, or that maybe you’re the rst one
to have really seen his sensit ive side. There’s no forcing the process
by which we simply stop being attracted to pain. It’s a long road for
some of us. It’s work. It takes deeper thinking and more courage
than many of us are used to. But it’s going on everywhere. It’s the
real liberation, and there aren’t a lot of excuses in today’s world for
not joining in the work that will ultimately free us all. There’s not much mystery here. Sickness is not that interesting. When you were a little girl, Daddy told you in various ways that you
weren’t really all that great, so that any man who gives you the
same message years later feels to you like the one you belong with. He’s familiar in that he’s remote and slightly disapproving. And the
more we look,  the more we realize that it wasn’t just Daddy who
went weird on us around the time we reached puberty. The whole
world did. Our burgeoning sexuality didn’t just freak out Daddy,
who was attracted and repelled at the same time. It freaked out
Mommy too, who was jealous, and our teachers, who had similar
projections. It freaked out the entire society in which we grew up,
because sex is still thought of as evil here. As we grew more and
more into our womanhood, we were perceived as being  more and
more dangerous. None of this was conscious on anyone’s part. Very
little is conscious in this society or anywhere. The whole human
race is still basically in a fog, but that’s why we’re here, and it’sdenitely why we’re looking into this painful stu that’s been ruling
us subconsciously for ages. Women are very confused about power, and actually, so are men. Feminine powe r isn’t something we go out and acquire; it’s already
within us. It’s something we become willing to experience. Something to admit we have. Until we do, our positive power lies unexpressed. It’s there, but
it’s not working. We’re wired  for something we don’t know how to
access. Having  been taught that the power of strong women is in
various ways suspect, many of us nd it hard to fully embrace our
power. We’re afraid. But the Goddess is ready to correct our
thinking. Her key, the access  point, the miracle, is love. We are here
only to love, and love casts out fear. When we understand that love
is the reason for our power— that it is our power—we lose our fear
of owning its strength. We become willing to experience the power
within us, that it might be used as a channel through which love is
expressed to all humankind. And so, powerful women fall prey to the East Coast lady-killer not
because he’s consciously seeking to murder the Queen but because
they are. Not having embraced her themselves, they nd no one else
to embrace her either. They are stuck in princess mode, crying and
tearing their hair out, shoutin g “You can’t treat me this way” when,
quite obviously, he sure can. Until we own our own power, we will
constantly seek it in others, particularly in men, and power sought
that way never saves us; it destroys us. Many women complain that they keep attracting the “wrong
relationship.” What they mean by that, of course, is that they are
attracted to the wrong relationship. They are stuck in a place that is
dangerous but seductive. They want desperately to get out of the
pattern but often not quite desperately enough. They lack the self-
esteem to save their own lives. We give up what we want to give up and keep what in some way
we still want to keep. There are payos for holding on to small,
weak patterns. We have an excuse not to shine. We don’t have to
take responsibility for the world when we’re spending all our timein emot ional pain. We’re too busy. The truth that sets us free is an
embrace of the divine within  us. It means remembering we are the
daughters of God, and daughters of God don’t brake for jerks. When a woman falls in love with the magnicent possibilities
within herself, the forces that would limit those possibilities hold
less and less sway over her. A relationship that keeps us tied to the
push and pull of co-dependent neuroses is a block to our shining. When we are very clear that we want to shine—and  if we want to
know the Goddess, we want to shine—then we attract into our lives
the kinds of relationships that help us do that. Until a woman has
given herself permission to be fabulous, she will not nd herself
with partners who promote her ability to be so. As long as she tears
herself down, she will attract others who tear her down; she will
nd people who agree that she is undeserving and lacking as long as
that is how she thinks of herself. So we’re left with a commitment to being a certain kind of woman
before worrying about nding a certain kind of man. Once we make
such a commit ment, good guys will appear. Until we do, let’s just
say they’re waiting in the lobby. Embrace the Goddess and her divine perception of you. Ask her to
reveal to you the you she has in mind. Ask her to send you the
relationships and circumstances that will foster that strength within
you, that the world might be blessed by the presence of a woman in
all her glory. Ask and you’ll receive. Don’t ask, and you’ll continue
to receive the relationships that destroy you. Until we embrace the
light, we remain vulnerable to darkness. The choice is easy once we
see it for what it is. In relationships, as in everything else, we ask for
heaven, or we ask for hell. Several years ago, my boyfr iend left me for a bimbo. Actually, he
didn’t leave me, and according to quite a few people she’s not a
bimbo. But my emotional experience, as arrogant and unenlightened
as it was, was that I had been rejected for someone half my size. It’s not uncommon for an intelligent man to gravitate toward a
woman who can’t quite put a sentence together. But why does it
happen? I wanted to nd out because the pain I felt was searing. Iknew in my heart that I had blown something big-ti me, and I
wanted to correct myself. I would have done anything and gone
anywhere to learn what I needed to before I went out again. Some
of the cleares t thinking we do about relationships occurs while
we’re not in one. We’re humbler, more in touch with our pain, more
teachable. Our intelligence is always sharper when informed by our
own feelings. At another point in my life, I lived a scene like the one at the end
of the movie Gone With the Wind, where Scarlett asks Rhett what’s to
become of her if he leaves her. In my case, the man did give a
damn, but he still had to leave. I then had to prove to myself, and to
whomever else I thought might care, that I could make it without
him. Imagine another scene, the one in which Scarlett says, “I will
never go hungry again.” My pledge, uttered with the same strength
and anguish, was “I will never need a man again.”
That was a awed decision. I couldn’t have him, so I became him. I wanted him within me so
badly I invoked his energy from within myself. I conquered outer
worlds, just


 microscope and the telescope, science has
extended its vision enormously, but in the realm of the microcosm it
disintegrated the atom and found nothing left, and in the world of the
macrocosm it detected distant galaxies moving away at the speed of light
into space that shouldn’ t exist. Ultimately, all investigations of matter have
a common meeting ground, which is the disappearance of individuality into
unity, into a world where space and time and separateness do not exist, and
this world is not capable of representation by objects or material things but
is primarily mental and not subject to the probing of physical instruments. Investigations in the field of parapsychology have now pr oved that it is
possible for one mind to communicate with another without any known
organic means, and this has been labeled telepathy. It has also been pr oved
that the human mind can attain to knowledge of coming events, and this has
been labeled pr ecognition. It has been pr oved that the human mind can see
at a distance, and this has been labeled clairvoyance. It has been pr oved
that the human mind can influence the behavior of objects, and this has
been labeled psychokinesis. All these powers of the mind, however dimly
discerned or bar ely understood, when lumped together indicate the
existence of an absolutely unexplor ed ar ea of vast and almost unimaginable
possibilities that one day must liberate humanity fr om its bondage to the
flesh. Mor eover, ther e is indicated a coming r evolution in the basic concepts
of life.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        Y ou may have wadded up other pieces of paper and tossed
them at the wastebasket without a single further hit, and probably you
shrugged your shoulders and wrote of f the first hit to luck. W ell, it wasn’ t
luck at all. It was simply that you performed the action without the
interference of conscious mind. In ef fect, you allowed the paper to propel
itself at the wastebasket, with yourself as only a medium of impulsion. This
kind of psychic unification of the basket and the paper and the propelling
energy allowed all elements in the action to become “one piece,” and
anything occurring within that unity had to have perfect symmetry and be
absolutely ef fective. Becoming One with Our T asks

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

Thrusting against Pain

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

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

	their	lush	salaries	And	the	gist	of	the	whole	‘selling	campaign’	was	not	that	the

Salk	vaccine	would	CURE	POLIO	or	would	even	PREVENT	POLIO. But	it	was

emphasized	that	this	Salk	monkey	juice	WOULD	PREVENT	THE	PARALYSIS

WHICH	FOLLOWED	POLIO. "That	PREVENTION	OF	PARALYSIS	was	what	actually	‘sold’	the	American

people	on	this	Salk	concoction. Polio,	without	paralysis,	was	not	feared. The

reason	millions	of	parents	were	willing	to	‘take	a	chance’	with	their	children	and

toss	them	onto	the	table	of	‘medical	experimentation’—the	reason	they	were

willing	to	have	their	offspring’s	bloodstream	contaminated	by	this	Salk	filth—
was	in	the	hope	it	MIGHT	PREVENT	POLIO	PARALYSIS. "As	Al	Smith	would	have	said	‘Let	us	look	at	the	record.’	Most	of	you	know	that

during	1955,	millions	upon	millions	of	little	American	children	had	their

bloodstreams	filled	with	this	Salk	vaccine. Some	got	one—some	got	two	and

some	even	get	three	‘shots’. So,	in	this	year	of	1956—if	this	monkey	juice	was

any	good	at	all—the	number	of	cases	of	polio	should	have	been	almost	wiped

out	and	PARALYSIS,	FOLLOWING	the	few	cases	of	polio	which	did	SLIP

THROUGH,	should	be	practically	nil. "Right	in	line	with	the	above	is	a	report,	issued	in	Washington,	D.	C.	on	May	11,

1956,	as	appeared	in	the	New	York	Times. ‘Through	1956	through	last	Saturday,	May	4th	(four	months	of	1956)	there	had

been	1,463	polio	cases,	broken	down	into	803	paralytic,	399	non-paralytic	and

261	UNSPECIFIED. In	1955—same	period	(four	months)	there	was	1,599

cases,	437	nonparalytic	and	459	unspecified. PARALYTIC	CASES	numbered

703.’

"There	you	have	in	black	and	white	the	DEFINITE	RESULTS	of	this	Salk

preventative	paralysis	vaccine. Although	tens	of	thousands	of	children	received

the	Salk	trash	in	1955	which	should	have	PROTECTED	THEM	FROM

PARALYSIS—there	were	over	12%	MORE	PARALYSIS	CASES	in	1956	than

in	1955. Just	how	gullible	do	the	medical	authorities	believe	the	American

people	are? The	medical	men	should	know	that	the	average	layman	can	read

figures	and	make	comparisons. So	let	us	not	permit	these	medical	double	talkers

to	blind	us	further. What	is	the	good	of	CUTTING	DOWN	THE	POLIO	CASES

IF	MORE	OF	THOSE	WHO	ARE	STRICKEN	BECOME	PARALYZED? And

what	is	EVEN	MORE	dreadful	to	contemplate	is	the	thought	of	what	may	be	the
	aftermath	of	this	placing	in	a	child’s	bloodstream	of	this	rotten,	filthy	juice	from

the	diseased	kidney	of	a	dead	monkey? Vaccination	for	smallpox	spread	syphilis

throughout	the	world. And	we,	Naturopaths,	are	now	wondering—what	will	this

Salk	filth	conjure	up?" HEALTH	RESEARCH,	MOKELUMNE	HILL,	CALIFORNIA. Dear	Sirs:

May	I	congratulate	you	on	your	splendid	work. There	are	probably	many	moments	of	discouragement	when	you	ask	yourself,

"Is	it	worth	it	all?" It	is! It	is	only	through	public	enlightenment	that	an	end	can

be	made	to	the	abuses	of	the	drug	trust	and	the	medical-bund. Organizations	such	as	yours	are	capable	of	slowing	down	the	drug	and	vaccine

not	attempt	to	persecute	you. My	personal	knowledge	of	the	medical	bund	is	of	an	intimate	nature. I	hold	the

B.Sc.,	M.	A.,	and	Ph.D.	degrees	from	New	York	University. I	did	graduate	work

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

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

 predictable.

4) Medical B 12  standards are artificially high.
The situation is further complicated by the fact that many refi ned starchy foods are “enriched” with a synthetic form of vitamin B 12.
When doctors test for “normal” B 12  levels, their results are skewed towards the high end by the fact that  most people eat these
foods (mostly grain products—cereals, breads, pasta, cookies, cakes, etc.) on a daily basis. People who eat a grain-free diet not
supplemented by this poor imitation of the natural nutrient often  test “low” for B 12  even if their levels are healthy and they are totally
asymptomatic. This is because their B 12  levels are being compared to those of people who are consuming a B 12  supplement in their
food at almost every meal.

How important is it to eat organically grown food?
Organic produce is always to be preferred, but life is full of compromises an d choices. It may be better to eat commercially
grown raw vegetables than to eat cooked or steamed organic vegetables, but i t is a difficult choice.
Organically grown produce generally contains more vitamins and min erals than conventional produce (see the FAQ on vitamin
B12  on page 254), and the fresher it is the better. Organic produce generally con tains little or no pesticide residue in comparison
with conventional produce; nevertheless, the amounts involved are not  usually critical to health, and it is far more important to avoid
the pathogenic effects from cooked food.
To concern yourself with pesticide residues while eating cooked food is a prov erbial fire and frying pan situation. Neither is
good for us. The best solution is to consume only organic raw plants. Otherwis e, the decision is much like choosing whether to shoot
oneself in the foot or shoot oneself in the hand.
In the case of cooked complex carbohydrates (grains, potatoes, corn, legumes), h owever, eating them both raw and free of
synthetic chemicals has recently become a matter of grave concer n. Commercial agroscientists are scrambling to counteract the
seriously negative press being caused by a recently discovered DNA-da maging carcinogen and neurotoxin called acrylamide. This
potent chemical killer was found in high concentrations in the food supply  in 2002 by a Swedish researcher.
Scientists at the World Health Organization and elsewhere origin ally attributed shockingly high levels of acrylamide (found
most prominently in bread, chips, crackers, french fries, and other dry-cooked c arbohydrates) to the cooking process itself,
because they found none to be present in raw foods. But we have since learne d that acrylamide is a building block for polyacrylamide, a surfactant added to enhance the effectiveness of M onsanto’s Roundup and other herbicide products used
ubiquitously in industrial farming.
Further research is in order to determine whether bread, pastries, and c rispy snacks made from organically grown plants
contain this lethal chemical, but in any case the presence of acryl amide in these foods presents one more nail in the coffin of the
standard American diet. If you still eat these foods, I urge you to do at leas t some reading about this profoundly toxic chemical. You
can begin with the two articles referenced in the endnotes of this book. 85

Do I have to do calculations every day?
No. Y ou don’t have to calculate percentages every day to make sure you’ re eating properly. By eating primarily fruit,
vegetables, and leafy greens, your diet is automatically close to the i deal of 80/10/10. However, you may want to use a calculator to
determine whether you are getting enough calories for the day to meet  your basic metabolic and exercise needs.
The tools in Appendix D. Resources for Diet Analysis are especially h elpful to the newcomer, because it is common to
undereat fruit and overeat fatty foods when beginning the raw vegan di et. I recommend that you input your food information into
CRON-O-Meter or on Nutridiary.com, FitDay.com, or another similar websi te for at least a week, to make sure you have the
relevant information about your calories and caloronutrient ratio.
Very often, people simply do not eat enough because their stomachs are used t o accepting a certain volume of food each day,
and raw foods are not as calorie dense as cooked foods. Therefore, to consume enough c alories, you need to train your stomach to
accept more food, especially fruits.

How do I eat so much fruit at once?
It takes some practice to develop the ability to consume what, from th e raw perspective, should be thought of as “normal”
amounts of food for a human. Somewhere in between “all you care for” and “a ll you can” there is a happy medium that will enable
you to increase the amount you consume without overeating. The stomach  is very accommodating in this regard and will stretch
quickly to allow you to consume normal/healthy quantities of fruit.
At the same time, your image of what is a healthy amount, and your mindse t about quantities of fruit will grow to match your
ability to eat it. The more you practice eating meals of just fruit, only  fruit, and nothing but fruit, the easier and easier it will become to
consume appropriate volumes.
If your fruit meal does not “hold” you until the next meal time, at least  three to five hours later, then you did not eat a sufficient
quantity of food. With practice, it will get easier. Until then, feel fre e to add an extra fruit meal between breakfast and lunch, and
again between lunch and dinner.

What does “mono eating” mean?
Mono eating is the practice of eating one particular food for an entire me al, in sufficient quantity to produce satiation until the
next meal. This is the way that every nonhuman creature on Earth g enerally eats. I recommend eating monomeals for optimal
digestion, absorption, and assimilation.
A monomeal might consist of four or five bananas for a sedentary beginner  or twelve to eighteen bananas for a seasoned raw
athlete. Another monomeal might be two or three mangos for the beginner, and four or more for the athlete.
It is important to remember when reading about food volumes that a small in active woman may only eat a quarter of what an
active male could eat. Do not be intimidated when you hear a low-fat raw ve gan athlete tell you that he ate a dozen or more bananas
for lunch. Four or five may be sufficient to meet your needs if you are a sm aller, less active individual.
Variety is obtained over time, throughout the seasons, not at every meal. In nature, if sufficient food is available, animals tend
to eat one food at a time until they are full.

What’s wrong with avocados, nuts, and seeds?
Avocados, nuts, and seeds are extremely high in fat content, especially  nuts and seeds:

Avocado (77% fat) : 4 ounces (about ½) = 200 calories; 165 fat.
Almonds (73% fat) : 4 ounces (½ cup +) = 650 calories; 480 fat.
Flaxseeds (58% fat): 4 ounces (¾ cup) = 560 calories; 325 fat.

When it comes to fat, the source doesn’t matter so much; fat is fat. Fat t ravels from the lymph system directly into the blood.
Too much fat will thicken the blood, causing the red blood cells to clump togethe r so they cannot deliver oxygen to the cells. Excess
fat also blocks the action of insulin in bringing sugars to the cells, wh ich leads to diabetes and other blood-sugar problems. (Chapter 2 discusses this in detail.)
It is best to eat only small amounts of avocados, nuts, and seeds (not more than  half of an avocado in a day or one ounce of
nuts for a sedentary person; twice that for an athlete), and not to eat th em daily. Fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens contain
adequate high-quality fatty acids (assuming we’re getting enoug h calories) to meet all of our needs.
Eventually, it is best to free yourself from the desire to experience a  heavy feeling after a meal, as this is an indicator that the
digestive system is being overworked. In order to feel satisfied, it is best  to eat large amounts of sweet fruit, which may pass through
your stomach quickly, but will satisfy true hunger for hours.

What do you mean by “true hunger”?
True hunger is a sensation that occurs primarily deep in the low part of  the throat, much like the feeling of thirst, but a bit
lower, about where the concave “notch” appears between the collar bones, at the bottom of the neck. The sensation might be
described as resembling a dull ache.
The stomach sensation we commonly associate with hunger is often th e result of its muscular walls shrinking after completing
the digestive task of the last meal. If a perceived feeling of hunger i s accompanied by feelings of faintness, stomach pangs,
headaches, or other discomforts, it is actually a sign of withdrawal from  harmful substances.
A healthy person can skip a meal or two with no feelings of weakness or distr ess. When one is healthy, true hunger signifies no
urgency for food, since

In fact, modern medicine is largely helpless against such outbreaks. Even in recent times, outbreaks have been frequent. And throughout history, they have devastated populations. The 1918 - 1919 Spanish Flu pandemic killed 20,000,000 people around the world. The 1956 Asian Flu pandemic killed hundreds of thousands. In 2002 - 2003, SARS very nearly became a global pandemic, and it killed an astounding 10% of those infected. Today, all eyes are on the avian ﬂu virus H5N1, which was ﬁrst detected in pigs in Vietnam in February, 2004. And the people who study infectious disease know the next pandemic is right around the corner. “During the last few years, the world has faced several threats with pandemic poten
-
tial, making the occurrence of the next pandemic just a matter of time.” - the World Health Organization
(http://www.who.int/csr/disease/inﬂuenza/pandemic/e n)

3Primed for Infectious Disease
Historically speaking, we’re overdue for the next outbreak. In many ways, the world today is even more
conducive to the spread of these dangerous viruses than in times past. Today we have higher population density than ever before, which means the virus can spread more easily from one person to the next. To
-
day, we have faster global travel than ever before, meaning the virus can jump from city to city in a matter
of hours.
“Given the high level of global trafﬁc, the pandemic virus may spread rapidly, leaving little or no time to pre -
pare.” - the World Health Organization, http://www.who.int/csr/disease/inﬂuenza/pandemic/e n
On top of that, we have a medical system that is actually breeding superbugs in hospitals where antibiotics abuse encourages the mutation of extremely aggressive infectious strains with innate immunity to every
known antibiotic.
Simultaneously, we have bizarre animal feeding habits where cows are being fed chicken litter (containing
chicken dung and feathers). We have cows being fed the ground up remains of other cows and animals, including spinal cord tissue and brain tissue, and thus we’re creating an environment for the rapid muta
-
tion and distribution of aggressive viral strains. This is partly what’s causing mad cow disease to be such a
concern, and it could play a hand in the next global pandemic.
Today we have all the conditions to foster a global outbreak. And yet we have virtually no defense against
it: no vaccines, no vaccine distribution system, and no policies to decide who gets vaccines and who doesn’t. The only thing that’s missing is the virus itself; and in fact, it already exists as well. It’s the inﬂuenza A (H5N1) strain right now living in pigs and birds in Southeast Asia. Should it make the jump to humans, it may very well become the next global pandemic. It is not an exaggeration to say that millions would die from it. The Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization are saying exactly the same thing.
Check the headlines yourself at http://www.newstarget.com/pandemic.htm l.
Much the same is also being stated by one of the world’s leading experts on inﬂuenza: Dr. Robert G. Webster, a member of the Infectious Diseases department of St. Jude and co-author of the Nov. 28, 2003 article about inﬂuenza published in the journal Science. You can see some of Dr. Webster’s credentials at http://www.stjude.org/faculty/0,2512,407_2030_3957,00.htm

As Dr. Webster explains, “If an inﬂuenza pandemic started tomorrow, we would not be able to head it off with vaccines because the production facilities available to produce them are grossly inadequate.” He also mirrors the preparedness assessment offered by the World Health Organization. Namely, that neither the United States nor the world is prepared for a ﬂu pandemic. “In the face of a pandemic, the available supplies of antiviral drugs would be used up in days,” he says. “It would take up to 18 months to make more drugs from scratch. Stockpiling is the only answer.”

4Take Charge of Your Own Defense
All this leads to the humbling realization that anyone who wishes to prepare for the coming ﬂu pandemic
is going to have to take charge and stop relying on their governments to save them. So what’s a person to do?
I asked myself the very same question. To ﬁnd the answers, I searched through over 400 books written by
some of the most respected doctors, physicians, naturopaths and authors in the natural health community. And in each book, I pulled out passages relating to antiviral herbs, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. This resulted in 500 pages of citations from these 400 books, or a little over one page from each book, on average. What I ended up with was an authoritative list of the most powerful nutrients for ﬁghting viral infections. (The full list, with detailed explanations, is included in the book “How to Beat the Flu” available
at www.TruthPublishing.co m.)
Through this research, I was able to document the astounding antiviral capabilities of all varieties of medici -
nal herbs, including rainforest herbs, Chinese medicine herbs and Western herbs. These herbs have such strong antiviral effects that they have even been described as stronger than antiviral prescription drugs. When used synergistically, they provide a full-spectrum antiviral defense for the human body, meaning they help you overcome all varieties of viral infections, including inﬂ uenza H5N1.
The Top Twelve Herbs
From this research, I narrowed the list down to twelve of the most powerful antiviral herbs I could ﬁnd. These are the “Big Twelve” as I call them. They’re the most well-documented, the most clinically proven, the most aggressive antiviral herbs known to the natural health community. Then I said to myself, “People need a tincture made with these twelve herbs.” So I searched the internet trying to ﬁnd if there was such a product, thinking I’d be recommending it to people. I couldn’t ﬁnd one. Nothing like this existed. There was no product that combined the top twelve herbs in a powerful antiviral tincture that could help people not only avoid the ﬂu, but even survive the coming ﬂu pandemic.
One Source Agrees to Manufacture It
So I put the word out to a few of my contacts -- people I know in the industry from doing what I do -- and I asked, “Who wants to manufacture this? Because if you are willing to manufacture this herbal tincture, I would love to mention it to people and help get this into peoples’ hands.” The answer came back from a company I’ve been recommending for quite some time, and that’s Jenny Lee Naturals (www.JennyLeeN
-
aturals.com). They said, yes, they’d be willing to manufacture this product and attempt to meet whatever demand exists for it, and they decided to call it Jenny Lee A-V tincture, which stands for ‘Anti-Viral.’
As a result, this product is now available. It’s in a 2-oz. tincture. It is a very potent tincture (taste it yourself to
see what I mean) that uses a tremendous quantity of these herbs to make what I consider to be the single most powerful antiviral natural medicine available anywhere in the world. I don’t think there’s any herbal combination that comes close to the ability of this product to protect you against viral infections. And by the

5way, as it turns out, most of the ingredients in this tincture also have very strong, well documented anti-
cancer properties, so this exact same tincture could even be sold as an anti-cancer or cancer prevention tincture. I’ll describe the exact ingredients below. (Remember, too, that you can buy the bulk herbs yourself and make this tincture on your own. The recipe is no secret, I list the ingredients right here.)
(By the way, as always, I must remind you that I have no ﬁnancial involvement with Jenny Lee Naturals or
the sale of this product. I don’t earn a dime. Whether you purchase this product or not is entirely up to you. It won’t impact my bottom line either way.)
What This Product Can Do
Now remember, the company making the product, Jenny Lee, can’t really tell you anything about it. This is true for all nutritional supplement manufacturers, thanks to the suppression of accurate product descrip
-
tions by the FDA (which doesn’t want you to know how to treat disease with herbs, for one thing). So don’t
expect Jenny Lee to tell you what this product does. But I’ll do it instead.
This product will greatly boost your immune system function. It will offer you the strongest protection that I
know of against viral infections. It can be used to treat existing viral infections that you
