 weeks
to obtain perceptible results.
The juices for each ailment are given in the order of their greatest
efficacy according to our experience, those which we found essential
being indicated in bold type, the others having also proved effective.
When possible, at least one pint of each combination whose formula
number is indicated in bold type was taken daily. For example: In the
case of ARTHRITIS, at least one pint of Formula No. 22 (grapefruit);
also, one pint of No. 61 (carrot and spinach combined); also, at least
one pint of No. 6 (straight celery juice); and at least one pint of No.
37 (carrot and celery combined) was taken. This means a total of four
pints daily, which usually gave perceptible results within a reasonable
time. The addition of one pint of No. 30 (carrot, beet, and cucumber
combined) was also found very beneficial. These juices were taken
throughout the day at intervals of one or two hours between each
combination.
We must remember that by combining one or more different kinds
of juices we change the chemical combination of each individual one
so that the effect of the combination as a whole will be entirely different
from that of each juice if taken separately and individually; and it is
by the knowledge of these proper combinations that we have been
able to get results that seem unbelievable to those who lack this
experience.
In the selection of the juices and their combinations which have
proved most beneficial for specific ailments or conditions, it is
necessary to study the underlying cause and attack it in order to remove
the manifestation.
In the case of arthritis, for example, for which we have given the
various formulas that have proved most beneficial, we find that it is
77 usually due to long retained RESENTMENTS, and to the result of
the accumulation of inorganic calcium deposits in the cartilage of the
joints.
Because the afflicted cartilage has a magnetic attraction for
inorganic calcium atoms, the blood deposits them in specific parts
of the anatomy, such as in the case of hemorrhoids. In arthritis they
solidify the cartilage and ligaments, while in hemorrhoids they form
a coagulated blood fibrin. In either case, the eating of foods containing
these inorganic calcium atoms does not create even the slightest
suspicion of what eventually may take place.
Once an arthritic deposit has taken root, however, it becomes
progressively menacing until actual bone distortion may take place.
The enlargement of the joints is usually the first manifestation after
the occasional shots of sharp pain at shorter or longer intervals make
themselves felt. Once the incrustations of this calcium have established
themselves, their headway becomes a matter of routine and their
deposit becomes cumulative.
One of the most effective elements with which to help dissolve
this inorganic, incrustated calcium has been found in grapefruit, in
its organic salicylic acid content. Thus, one pint or more of fresh
grapefruit juice daily helps to dissolve this accumulation of foreign
matter. The canned juice has usually been found useless for this
purpose.
Oil of wintergreen has highly penetrating ethers and contains a
high percentage of salicylic acid. It is often used externally to help
ease the pain which usually follows the cleansing and regeneration of
the cartilage and the joints.
Dissolving the inorganic calcium however, is only the first step
in the progressive course of this regeneration. It is so difficult to
acknowledge RESENTMENTS and to banish them, but this is the
very first step necessary to help to improve the situation.The calcium
must be removed from the body. To do so, we drink one pint of straight
celery juice a day, which because of it's very high sodium content,
helps maintain the calcium, more or less, in solution. The blood and
lymph both carry this waste matter towards the colon, and to facilitate
the functions of that organ we drink one pint of carrot and spinach
juice. This combination serves to nourish the nerves and muscles of
the large and small intestines.
One pint of carrot and celery juice daily, helps to rebuild and
regenerate the cartilage and the joints, eventually helping to restore
78 them to their normal state.
The process is usually painful — more so at certain times than at
others; but we have seen many sufferers go through it and in time
become more active than ever before. It requires will power and the
cooperation of everybody interested in the victim's welfare, but the
results have proven to be worth it.
Vaccines, drugs, heat, electricity, and a variety of secretive and
orthodox cures have proved valueless as remedies. The elimination
of pain does not cure the cause.
If the human body is suffering as a result of the transgression of
the fundamental laws governing its nutrition, then cleansing the debris
and waste from the system and nourishing it with the vital organic
atoms of fresh raw vegetables and fruits, cannot help but restore at
least some of the ebbing energy and vitality.
When such nourishment has been taken in the form of properly
extracted fresh raw juices, the results have been more quickly
pronounced, once RESENTMENTS have been dissolved from the
consciousness.
FORMULAS
The following Formulas are given entirely as a matter of courtesy
by the Norwalk Laboratory of Nutritional Chemistry and Scientific
Research for use with Special Vegetable Juice Equipment. They
represent the result of expensive and laborious research by this
Laboratory in Raw Vegetable Juice Therapy.
It is essential to bear in mind that satisfactory results from the
use of these combinations have been obtained with juices made with
the Electric Triturator (Pulverizer) and Hydraulic Press. Such
equipment has been found to extract the Vitamins, Minerals and other
Vital Elements from vegetables and fruits and to retain the Enzymes
more completely than by any other method.
When any other type of Juice Extractor was used, it was found
necessary to considerably increase the indicated quantity. Any juice,
so long as it is fresh and raw, is better than no juice at all.
We belong to the kingdom next higher than that of animals. We
have a free will and the ability to use it and develop it. If man persists
in the transgression of Nature's laws, Providence steps in to save him
from annihilation, if possible.
Our fundamental object and goal in life should be to gain vast
and abundant knowledge, and learn to apply it intelligently. Of what
79 value is life, let alone longevity, unless we live intelligently?
We can teach Wisdom, but we cannot make one learn Wisdom. If
it is too much trouble to learn how to attain and maintain health, and
to put such knowledge into practice, then the easier way out is to
follow the line of least resistance and hope fervently that the grave is
not too far away.
Whether or not you have studied anatomy and the physiology of
its functions, it is always best to have a doctor who has had personal
experience with Raw Vegetable Juices to check your condition and
consult him in regard to it. If you have studied carefully all the
preceding pages, your own conviction and intelligence should help
you to follow the course of Natural Healing which has been so
consistently helpful to others.

 viewpoints, although the great lesson of
history is that knowledge develops through the conflict of viewpoints, that if you
have simply a consensus view, it generally stultifies, it fails to see the problems of
that consensus; and it depends on the existence of critics to break up that iceberg an
to pertnit knowledge to develop."207
The media prefer to make this consensus argument their own, even though it's
their duty to diligently research every medical claim, sort fact from theory and
question even majority rule (however formed) to clarify every issue. But in 1990, for
instance, even the venerable New York Times countered the provocative argument of
alleged "solitary dissenter" Peter Duesberg when it claimed that "virtually all of the
leading scientists engaged in AIDS work believe that Duesberg is wrong." Yet, by
1990, as shown above, many renowned researchers said that mainstream research
could not deliver any proof for their HIV = AIDS theory. 2os
In 2000, Newsweek magazine expressed its incredulit y that the "consensus doesn't
impress" the critics of the virus hypothesis in the article "The HIV Disbelievers."
Simultaneously, the piece calls the arguments of orthodo x scientists "clear-cut,
exhaustive, and unambiguo us." But evidence to support this statement could not be
provided by Newsweek (not even upon request). 209

Chapter 3
1994: AID S Resear cher David Ho-as Con vincing as a
Giraffe with Sungla sses
John Maddox, the editor at Nature from 1966 -1996 led a personal campaign
against critics of the HN = AIDS hypothesis. He even publicly censored Duesberg.
On 7 November 1994 he justified this to the Spiegel, saying he found it "irresponsible"
to say "drug consumption is the cause of AIDS."210 Sir Maddox later contradicted this
in a personal letter to Kiel internist Claus Kohnlein on 20 September 1995, saying
that he had "not censored Dues berg because of his views but because of the manner
in which he insists on expressing them." And Maddox added, "that a he:nophiliac
relative of my wife died of AIDS. "211
But Maddox's behavior-ste ering a scientific discussion in such a way based on
personal views-is most frivolous and unethical. By doing this, he does no justice to
his responsibility as Editor in Chief of Nature-a publication whose contents are
. taken at face value by the mass media.
Maddox took advantage of the huge influence of "his" Nature magazine again, at
the beginning of 1995, when he published a paper by AIDS researcher David Ho,
who claimed to have conclusi vely proven that HN alone causes AIDS. 212 But critics
ripped Ho's paper to pieces. The quality of the data and the modeling were
incomprehensible and "about as convincing as a giraffe trying to sneak into a polar
bears only picnic by wearing sunglasses," as Australian scientist Mark Craddock
jokes in his detailed critique. 213
In turn, Nobel laureate Kary Mullis conclud es: "If Maddox seriously thinks or
thought that these publications really prove that HN causes AIDS, then he should
go outside and shoot himself-because if he had had no justification before, why did
he reject all my possible explanations and alternative hypotheses? Why did Maddox
have such a fixed opinion? Why did the whole world have such a fixed opinion? If it
had taken until 1995 to find out what produces AIDS-how could everyone have
known it for ten years? The facts are now on the table, and when one examines
them clos ely, HN cannot be the cause of AIDS. There is no reason to believe that all
these AIDS diseases have the same cause."214
This staggering critique eventually found public validation in November 1996,
when a paper was printed in Science that "took the ground out from under the feet"
of Ho's theses, according to journalists Kurt Langbein and Bert Ehgartner in their
book The Medicine Cartel.215 The Science paper revealed that Ho had actually found
no trace at all of the annihilating battle in the body between HN and the immune
system, the connections of which the renowned scientist claimed to have
discovered. 216
126 AIDS: From Spare Tire to Multibilli on-Dollar Business
The Media Under the Sp ell of Celeb rity Resear chers
Unfortunately, few reporters in the mass media did the necessary homework
before writing about HIV and AIDS. Instead, the papers were constantly packed with
stories approved by the AIDS establishment, for which heroes and kings, traitors and
villains are needed. 217 And scientific journalists are particularly prone to striking up
hymns of praise.
"First came God, then came Gallo," decreed Flossie Wong-Staal, Gallo's closest
collaborator and consort in the Los Angeles Times in 1986.218 One year later, the
Washin['ton Post quoted Sam Broder, director of the American National Cancer
Institute, as saying: "Einstein, Freud-I'd put him [Gallo] on a list like that, I really
would."219
With David Ho, such excess was likewise not held back. On Christmas Day, 1996,
just a few weeks after the journal Science had criticized the foundation of Ho's work,
the German Tageszeitung, without any irony intended, called him the "redeemer"
and "the long-awaited Messiah of the AIDS scene."220 The reason for such jubilation?
A catchy slogan with which Ho became famous in the mid-1990s, and which at least
for a few years became the global chief doctrine for AIDS therapy: "Hit HIV hard and
early!" It endorsed prescribing high dosages of antiretroviral medication as early as
possible, even on patients testing HIV positive who do not show any disease
symptoms. 221
A few days after his canonization by the Tageszeitung, Ho was celebrated on the
cover of Time magazine as "Man of the Year 1996." He was portrayed as a "genius,"
whose "brilliance" had produced "some of the boldest yet most cogent hypotheses in
the epidemic campaign against HIV. [His] spirit is startling, manifested in a
passionate transcendence [that] is evident in his gestures... [Ho] is an extraordinary
American success story." The Spiegel didn't want to be out-of-step and soon declared
Ho, thanks to his "decided optimism" to be "the new shining light in the research
world."222
This euphoria did not last. In February 2001 even Altman had to admit in his
New York Times that there had been an official turnaround in AIDS therapy and Ho's
concept ("hit HIV hard and early") had to be abandoned. It had turned out that the
medications were much too toxic, causing liver and kidney damage, and that their
effects were immunosu ppressive-in other words, they put patients' Jives in danger. 223
Yet, even this defeat didn't stop the Siiddeutsche Zeitung from incorrectly writing at
the beginning of 2004 that, "Ho's maxim 'hit HIV hard and early,' with which he
revolutionized HIV therapy,'' had led to "patients having better chances of
survival. "224
127 Chapter 3
AID S Med ications: The Fable of Life-Pr olongin g Effe cts
In 1987, the antiretroviral medication AZT became the first authorized AIDS
medication. At the time, and for years afterward s, HIV I AIDS patients were typically
given only one drug. This changed in 1995, when the multiple combination therapy
(HAART) was introduced, in which, as is evident from the name, multiple substances
are administered at the same time. Here, once again, the media broke out the
streamers and confetti for another AIDS establishment party. For instance, Science
declared the "new weapons against AIDS" as the "breakthrough of 1996."225 And, it
was universally reported that the antiretroviral preparations would "help people
with AIDS live longer," as the Washington Post announced in 2004.226
Hans Halter from the Spiegel even gave concrete numbers: "Those who are under
the influence of medications, presently live on average 10 to 15 years. In contrast,
the others who do not take any preparations only live five to ten years."22 7 These
drugs generated billions of dollars in excess revenue for drug-makers : in 2000,
global revenue was $4 billion; by 2004, it jumped to $6.6 billion, and in 2010, it
should crack the $9 billion mark. For pharmaceutical giants, the preparations are
bestsellers. At Roche, for example, Fuzeon, a medication that has been on the market
since August 2004, triggered a 25% turnover increase. 228
But claims for the lifespan-increasing effectiveness of HAART medications are
untenable. A close look at Halter's comparison of survival rates, for instance, as
gathered from the Arzteblatt (Medical Journal) for Schleswig-Holst ein, shows that the
average survival time for patients taking medication was four

Burt’ s BBQ Pizza
Burt’ s Barbecue was one of Austin’ s best joints of its kind and was located
just two buildings down from our fire station. At 2 a.m. one morning, the
911 fire dispatcher received a call from a passerby reporting a great deal of
smoke coming from the place. The dispatcher told him the cooks were
probably just smoking some meat. Thirty minutes later another passerby
called and reported some very serious smoke coming from Burt’ s. Again,
the dispatcher wasn’ t too concerned until the caller said that he’d beenbarbecuing meat all his life and he had never seen anyone create this much
smoke doing it.
So Engine 2 was dispatched to the fire—but it was too late. The building
was destroyed. The next day several local radio deejays—jokingly—
accused us firefighting plant-eaters of letting Burt’ s Barbecue burn. But it
just so happens we were not on duty that shift: the meat-eating, barbecue-
loving B shifters were. So we were exonerated.
In a rather ironic twist, two weeks after Burt’ s burned down, one of
Austin’ s best-known vegetarian restaurants, Mother ’s, also caught on fire.
Once again, the deejays were wondering why the plant-eating firefighters
didn’ t save the day. (As before, everything that could be done was done.
And once again, it wasn’ t our shift.)
Barbecue is our simple twist on the supreme pizza. After slicing up the
toppings, we place them in individual bowls on the kitchen counter. One at
a time, each of us tops the crust, choosing the assortment and layout of
ingredients he or she thinks will yield the most delicious and best-looking
pizza. Presentation is always important!
Serves 2 to 3
4 ounces tomato paste
1 cup barbecue sauce (see E2-Approved Foods)
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 Kabuli crusts
1 small red onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
2 handfuls fresh spinach
1 jar pineapple chunks, drained
½ cup finely ground cashews
Preheat oven to 425º. Mix the tomato paste, barbecue sauce, and oregano
together in a bowl. Generously spread the sauce on the crusts, and layer
with the vegetables and pineapple. Top with the cashews. Bake on a sprayed
cooking sheet or pizza stone for 15 minutes.
Variation:

Among my fondest memories of my sister, Jane, and my brothers, Ted
and Zeb, are the amazing trips we used to take to a ski slope about ten miles
up the road from my grandparents’  farm in upstate New York. We’d get
there early and race up and down the mountain until they told us to go
home. Then came the best part of the day: putting up the skis, sliding of f
our stif f boots, and sitting our exhausted bodies down in front of a roaring
fire as we warmed our icy feet, drank hot chocolate, and ate some of
Grandma Lil’ s scrumptious home-cooked dinners.
Let these comfort foods take you back in time to a similar place in your
childhood.

Raise-the-Roof Sweet Potato–V egetable Lasagna
I prepared this lasagna for my first cooking demonstration at the new Whole
Foods Culinary Center in Austin. Tim Lafuente, an award-winning chef
who is also an Austin firefighter, asked me to join him at this event, where
he made an angel hair pasta with chicken, bacon, butter, and oil.
Firefighters are naturally competitive, so the demonstration quickly
turned into a contest. No one was declared the winner, but I walked away
with my head high because the lasagna was a smashing success: another
triumph for plant-happy cuisine!
This lasagna is so good Jill and I chose it to be the main dish at our
wedding reception.
Serves 10 to 12
1 onion, chopped
1 small head of garlic, all cloves chopped or pressed
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 head broccoli, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
1 can corn, rinsed and drained1 package Silken Lite tofu
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon rosemary
2 jars pasta sauce (see E2-Approved Foods)
2 boxes whole grain lasagna noodles
16 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained
2 sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed
6 roma tomatoes, sliced thin
1 cup raw cashews, ground
Preheat oven to 400º. Sauté the onion and garlic on high heat for 3
minutes in a wok or nonstick pan. Add the mushrooms and cook until the
onions are limp and the mushrooms give up their liquid. Remove them to a
large bowl with a slotted spoon. Reserve the mushroom liquid in the pan.
Sauté the broccoli and carrots for 5 minutes and add to the mushroom bowl.
Sauté the peppers and corn until just beginning to soften. Add them to the
vegetable bowl. Drain the tofu by wrapping in paper towels. Break it up
directly in the towel and mix into the vegetable bowl. Add spices to the
vegetable bowl and combine.
To Assemble:
Cover the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch casserole with a layer of sauce. Add
a layer of noodles. Cover the noodles with sauce. This way the noodles
cook in the oven, saving time and ener gy. Spread the vegetable mixture
over the sauced noodles. Cover with a layer of noodles and another dressing
of sauce. Add the spinach to the second layer of sauced noodles. Cover the
spinach with the mashed sweet potatoes. Add another layer of sauce, the
final layer of noodles, and a last topping of sauce. Cover the lasagna with
thinly sliced roma tomatoes.
Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil,
sprinkle with the cashews, and return to the oven for 15 minutes. Let sit for
15 minutes before serving.
Lynn’ s Meatloaf
This is a great “meat” loaf recipe from one of the Engine 2 Pilot Study
participants, L ynn Jocelyn. L ynn brought this to the Engine 2 potluckawards banquet and it disappeared before everyone could get a bite. She
graciously brought two loaves over for Jill and me one week after Kole was
born.
This meatloaf is wonderful the next day pan-fried on whole grain bread
with mustard, pickles, and ketchup.
Serves 6
2 stalks celery, chopped
½ onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
10 ounces firm tofu, drained
¼ cup walnuts, finely ground

Both types of preparation will give you identical results. The
bottle type of white blood cell specimen is used by standing it on
its lid (upside down) so that the specimen is next to the plate.
The lid is used because it is flat, whereas the bottom of most
bottles is not.THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
470Lesson Two
Purpose:  To add a white blood cell specimen to the circuit
and compare sound.
Method:
1.Turn the Syncrometer  ON.
2.Start with test plate switch OFF.
3.Place the white blood cell specimen on the left plate. Place
some junk food in a plastic baggy on the right plate.
4.Eat some of the junk food.
5.After ½ m inute listen to the current. Flip the plate switch ON
and listen again.
6.If the circuit is now resonating, the junk food is already in
your white blood cells. It is toxic.
Take vitamin C  and a B-50
complex to clear it rapidly; it may
have had propyl alcohol or ben-
zene in it. Test every 5 minutes
afterward to see how long it takes
to clear out.
Lesson Three
Purpose:  To determine the
purity of the filtered water you are
making.
Method:  Pour a few tsp. of filtered water into a bottle or
plastic bag. Place your white blood cell specimen on one plate
and the water sample on the other. Listen to your circuit. Taste
your filtered water. After ½ minute, listen to your circuit again,
just as in Lesson Two. If it appears in your white blood cells at
any time you can conclude the water is not pure. You must have
pure water available to you before continuing.
Fig. 81 Bottle with white
blood cells taped on top.BIOELECTRONICS
471Lesson Four
Purpose: To determine your percent accuracy in listening for
resonance.
Materials:  The SALT #1 and SALT #2 solutions you made
for Lesson One.
Method:  Move the SALT #1 and SALT #2 labels to the
bottom of the bottles so you can not tell which bottle is which.
1.Turn the Syncrometer  ON.
2.Start with the test s witch OFF.
3.Mix the bottles up, select one at random, and place it on the
right plate.
4.Listen to the current.
5.Flip the plate switch ON and make your second probe.
6.Resonance indicates a SALT #1, no resonance indicates
SALT #2. Check the bottom. Remember to rest after the
SALT #1, whether or not you heard resonance.
7.Repeat steps 3 through 5 a number of times. Work toward
getting three out of three correct. Practice every day.
Trouble shooting:
a)If you repeat this experiment and you keep getting the
same bottles “wrong”, start over. You may have accidentally
contaminated or mislabeled the outside of the bottle, or switched
bottle caps.
b)If you get different bottles wrong each time, the plates
may be contaminated. Wash the outside of the bottles and rinse
with filtered water and dry. Wipe the plates very gently too, with
filtered water and dry. Or replace the plates.
c)If all the bottles read the same, your filtered water is
polluted. Change the filter.THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
472Preparing Test Substances
It is possible to prepare dry substances for testing such as a
piece of lead  or grains of pesticide. They can simply be put in a
plastic bag and placed on the test plate. However, I prefer to
place a small amount (the size of a pea) of the substance into a ½
ounce bottle of filtered water. There will be many chemical
reactions between the substance and the water to produce a
number  of test substances all contained in one bottle. This
simulates the situation in the body.
Within the body, where salt and water are abundant, similar
reactions may occur between elements and water. For example, a
strip of pure (99.9% pure) copper  placed in filtered water might
yield copper hydroxide, cuprous oxide, cupric oxide, copper
dioxide, and so forth. These may be similar to some of the
reaction products one might expect in the body, coming from a
copper IUD, copper bracelet or the copper from metal tooth
filling s. Since the electronic properties of elemental cop per are
not the same as for copper compounds, we would miss many test
results if we used only dry elemental copper as a test substance.
Impure Test Substances
It is not necessary to have pure test substances. For instance,
a tire balancer made of lead  can be easily obtained at an auto
service station. Leaded gasoline  and lead fishing weights also
make good test substances for lead. There is a disadvantage,
though, to using impure test substances. You are including the
extra impurities in your test. If your lead object also has tin  in it,
you are also testing for tin. Usually, you can infer the truth by
some careful maneuvering. If you have searched your kidneys for
leaded gasoline, fishing weights and tire balancers and all 3 are
resonant with your kidneys, you may infer that you have lead in
your kidneys, since the common element in all 3 items isBIOELECTRONICS
473lead. (You will learn how to specify a tissue, such as your kid-
neys, later.)
Using pure chemicals gives you certainty in your results. You
can purchase pure chemicals from chemical supply compa nies
(see Sources ). Your pharmacy, a child's chemistry set, a paint
store, or biological supply company can also supply some.
The biggest repository of all toxic substances is the grocery
store and your own home.
You can make test substances out of your hand soap, water
softener  salt, and laundry detergent by putting a small amount
(1/16 tsp.) in a ½ ounce glass bottle and adding about 2 tsp. fil-
tered water. (Or for quick testing just put them dry or wet in a
sealed plastic baggy.) Always use a plastic spoon.
Here are some suggestions for finding sources of toxic
products to make your own toxic element test. If the product is a
solid, place a small amount in a plastic bag and add a table spoon
of filtered water to get a temporary test product. For per manent
use put it in a small amber glass bottle. If the product is a liquid,
pour a few drops  into a glass bottle and add about 2  tsp. filtered
water. Keep all toxic substances in glass bottles for your own

 to the hypervigilant state of fight or flight.
You cannot cope with all of this at once. In the overall plan taking part in a
stress management program is a long-term commitment you should make,
whether through  meditation, yoga, or countless other options. Stress is
ongoing; therefore reducing stress also needs to be ongoing.
In the short run letting go of stress involves relaxing. Take deep,
measured breaths, letting the breath go free on the exhale. Lie down if you
can and allow release to take place for as long as it needs to. Signs of good
release are yawning, sighing, silent sobs, coughing, sneezing, and feeling
sleepy. Let your body do any or all of these things.
Other means of physical release besides breathing include laughing,
screaming, shouting, taking a walk, swimming, taking a long bath, dancing,
and doing aerobics. Shaking out the stress does in fact work, at least
partially. The intention here is to let your body release what it wants to.
Your body doesn’t like holding on to stress; it does so essentially at the
urging of the mind. T aking your mind of f the situation and letting your body
release its excess ener gies is a valuable step.
Under really extreme stress, walk away from the situation—tell anyone
else who is involved that you need to be alone for a while to get your
bearings. Offer reassurance that you will be back, and even if the otherperson puts pressure on you to stay, give yourself permission to do what
you need to do for your own well-being.
Letting go mentally.
I have already said a great deal about how the mind holds on through
beliefs, expectations, and interpretations. It takes a lifetime to build up these
conditioned responses, but dismantling them occurs moment by moment.
The present is the right time to begin. When you find yourself in a situation
in which you are certain of disaster, loss, hurt, or any other negative
outcome, use the following formulas, as appropriate:
This is just an experience. I’m here on earth to have experiences. Nothing is wrong.
My higher Self knows what is going on. This situation is for my benefit, even if I can’ t see that
now.
My fears may come true, but the outcome will not destroy me. It may even be good. I’ll wait and
see.
I’m having a strong reaction now, but it isn’ t the real me. It will pass.
Whatever I’m afraid of losing is meant to go. I will be better of f when new ener gies come in.
Whatever fear says, nothing can destroy me. When people fall they don’ t break, they bounce.
Change is inevitable. Resisting change doesn’ t work.
There is something here for me, if I have the awareness to find it.
The things I fear the most have already happened.
I don’ t want to hold on anymore. My purpose is to let go and welcome what is to come.
Life is on my side.
I am loved; therefore I am safe.
These aren’ t just formulations, they are new beliefs that, when sincerely
held, call in spirit to aid you. To build a new reality you need new mental
structures. The situations that your ego resists with all its might are
precisely the ones that should be embraced, because from the spiritual
perspective anything that dismantles your limiting mental constructs is
beneficial. You have to break down the known to enable the unknown to
enter.
Letting go emotionally.
Emotions are more stubborn than thoughts. The glue that holds  you fast
to your old belie fs and expectations is emotion. Whenever you tell yourself
that you can’t let go, you are making an emotional statement. In reality you
can let go of any situation any time. “I can’t” really means, “I fear the
emotional conse quences if I do.” Your ego draws a line in the sand andinsists that you will not survive the inner feelings that will arise if the line is
crossed.
A powerful limitation is being self-imposed here, and at botto m it isn’t
true. Y ou will survive  any emotion; indeed, whatever you consider to be too
much fear, too much loss, too much humiliation, too much disapproval, too
much rejection has already happened. You have crossed the line many
times, otherwise you wouldn’ t know where to draw it. What your ego is
really saying is that you can’t cross the line again. From spirit’ s point of
view, however, you don’ t have to.
There is a law in the unconsci ous that whatever you avoid will come
back, and the more you avoid it, the stronger its return. People who swear
that they will never be that afraid again, that angry, that devasta ted are only
setting themselv es up for the return of fear, anger, and devastation. The
refusal to face this fact creates much unnecessary misery.
Instead of r esisting any emotion, the best way to dispel it is to enter it fully, embrace it, and see
through your r esistance.
Painful emotion s don’t come back for external reasons. They return because
they are part of you; you creat ed them before pushing them away. Every
emotion you experience is yours.
We all make the mistake of believing that something “out there” makes
us afraid, angry, depressed, anxious, and so on. In truth events “out there”
are only triggers. The cause of every emotion is “in here,” which means that
inner work can heal it.
Deciding to do the inner work is the first and most important step. Even
after years of emotional healing, there will be moments when you are
certain that someone else is responsible for making you feel a certain way.
Dedication to inner work means  refusing to accept this perspect ive ever, no
matter how often it returns. Spiritually, you are the creator of your reality.
You are the interpreter, the seer, the decision-maker, the chooser. When you
find yourself dominated by a negative emotion, try to release it physically
first, since bodily ef fects are half or more of what you’re feeling.
Having done that, use the following formulas to reframe your emotion, as
they apply:Instead of telling yourself that your emotion is bad, ask it what it has
to tell you.  Every emotion exists for a reason, and the reason is always
to help you. Emotions are here to serve.
Instead of pushing an emotion away, tell it you want to have a closer
look.  Ask it to reveal itself from behind its mask. V ery often you will
find that emotions are layered. Anger masks fear; fear masks hurt.
Getting past an emotion means getting through its layers to the root.
If a feeling is overwhelming, say to yourself, “I want to ride this out
first befor e I look at it.”  Realize that the overwhelming feeling isn’ t
the real you; it’ s something you’re going through.
If you r ecognize that certain situations always bring the same r eaction,
ask what you need to learn in or der for that r eaction to change.
Repetition is like a knock on the door—it stops when you open the
door and greet what’ s on the other side.
Whenever you find yourself drawing a line in the sand, stop doing it.
Resisting only makes things worse. Let the emotion rise. Release it by
crying, screaming, losing your temper, shaking with fear—whatever it
takes. Emotions come and go. Realize that each one has a rhythm, and
allow yourself to be in that rhythm. The best way not to drown is to
ride the wave.
As you begin to master the art of letting go, with patience, dedication, and
love, your reality will change.  It has no choice. Things “out there” are
always mirrors of what’ s going on “in here.” In the process of letting go you
will lose many things from the past, but you will find yourself. It will not be
a self made of beliefs, expectations, and interpretations, for these things
come and go. It will be a permanent Self, rooted in awareness and
creativity. Once you have captured this, you have captured the world.

What About Me?
DELLA AND FRANK  had gotten to the point where everything seemed to turn
into an argumen t, but at least they agreed on one thing: each of them was
married to the most selfish person in the world. They were becoming
masters of biting sarcasm and had developed thick enough skins to take
what the other dished out. Keeping up appearances in front of other people
was still possible with effort, but there were mornings when the only
communication between Della and Frank was a terse note left on the
breakfast table.
“We’re still sleeping in the same bed,” Della said. “We have our good
days and even some good weeks, but for some reason we can’ t stop going at
each other.”
Some of their friends muttered “lawyers” and left it at that. Della had met
Frank on the law review staff at the end of law school, eight years ago.
Theirs wasn’t a smooth road to marriage—it was more like the cautious
courtship of two hedgehogs—and neither made apologies for his or her
strong personality. They knew what they wanted and never let a grievance
rest. When bantering turned to bickering and then started to draw


 I found the tape of our
interview and slipped it into the machine. There it was, the soft,
melodious soprano of a woman who kept reminding me, hauntingly,
of a child. I don’t mean that she sounded childish. She spoke like an
adult, talking about serious adult problems, yet blended into that I
could hear a precocious eight-year-old who was very puzzled by the
grown-up world.
“Why am I punished for telling a lie when Mommy lies about her
age? Why do I have to clean my plate when Daddy leaves his
Brussels sprou ts?” All children go through some stage like this. By
challenging the ready-made values handed down by adults, they
begin to formulate their own values, which is a necessary step
toward gaining  a real identi ty. Karin, however, continu es to issue
challenges right and left.
I once went to a clinic where they treat obsessiv e-
compulsive disorder. I didn’t think I was obsess ive-
compulsive, but it had me worried. The rst thing the doctor
did was to hand me a test. “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to ll
this out,” I said.
“Why not?” he asked.
“Well, the rst question wants to know if I read things
more than once. I didn’t read very much in school, and now Isometimes do reread books to make sure that I am getting
everything out of them. But if I say yes to your question, you
will interpret it as an obsessive-compulsive trait, like hand
washing.”
He still wanted me to take the test. “I’m not a test score,”  I
protested. “I’m a human being. I need to be dealt with for
what’s going on with me.”
He said, “That’s a sign right there of obsessiveness.”
“Has it ever occurred to you,” I said, “that because you run
a clinic for obsessive-comp ulsive disorder, you may be
obsessed with making a diagnosis of obsessiveness?”
“No,” he said, “that has never occurred to me.”
I laughed out loud listening to the tape, just as I had when Karin
rst told me about this run-in. Like many children, she has a sixth
sense for when she is being manipulated.
Okay, so I went to another doctor, a well-known
psychologist. It took me a while to get hold of him, and when
I nally did, he said, “I think you didn’t want to meet me,
anyway.”
“What makes you think that?” I asked.
“Because you got my answering machine three times.”
“Oh really?” I said, “but what about the fact that you got
my answering machine three times?”
Karin sounds rather feisty set down on the page. In person she is
actually much less that way. She talks excitably about herself and
likes to drama tize her story. Underneath the drama, however, one
senses that she is a gentle person—I nd it easy to believe her when
she says that she has never deliberately hurt anyone. She has soft,
pleasing featur es and lively eyes. Still unmarried at thirty-ve, she
successfully runs a small catering business with two women friends
in suburban Boston.
By her own count, Karin has been to ten dierent doctors in the
past two years, none of whom has helped her. To begin  with, herbasic complaint is extremely dicult to pin down. She says that she
doesn’t feel real anymore. In everyday situations such as talking on
the phone, walking down the street, or eating in a restaurant, she
has persistent doubts about her existence: “Someone will call my
name, and I’ll go through one of my experiences: ‘Did I answer that?
Is this really me?’ Sometimes I’ll be talking and think, ‘How come I
can talk? How can I breathe?’ It’s as if my mind is going, ‘Does not
compute, does not compute,’ and I start to cry.”
Physically, Karin no longer feels comfortable in her own body, a
sensation that psychologists call derealization: “It’s as if someone
else is in my body, doing everything with me, or for me.” Her
feeling of being unreal becom es quite profound at times, and yet she
continues to function normally. Other people have a hard time
believing that there is actually anything wrong with her. “When I’m
miserable, my brother will say, ‘Look, I have the same thoughts you
do, but I don’t  have the same  responses. I don’t want to ruin my life
over the question, Why am I here?  or Who am I?’ ”
Her brother is right in spotting that Karin is wrapped up in a great
deal of intellectual confusion. She is constantly assaulted by
questions that seem crazy to her: Can one be real and unreal at the
same time? Is thinking that you are unreal the same as being
unreal? When  her head begins to whirl with these existential
riddles, she becomes as bewildered as Alice down the rabbit-hole.
I asked Karin if she felt real talking to me. She said that she did
and she didn’t: “I am sitting  here having a conversation with you,
but a part of me says I’m not. It’s impossible. How can I be saying
such a thing to myself? My mind doesn’t comprehend it. I know  I’m
talking to you, but another part knows  I’m not. I can’t gure that
out.”
As a yogi would see it, there must be some element of witnessing
involved here—that is, Karin is having an experience and at the
same time watching herself have it. That does not have to be an
unreal way to relate to things. Quite the contrary—it could be seen
as the most real way, once the silent witness is acknowledged as the
core of the self. In ancient India, witnessing would have been calmlyaccepted and welcomed as a gateway to higher spiritual
experiences.
Karin was not totally surprised when I brought this up to her, but
it did not make her any happier. “People have told me that my
awareness has risen too high, that it has become my enemy,” she
said, “but I don’t know how to turn it o.” Turning her awareness
o is all she wants to do at this point. Time and again she has
intuited things that I would consider profound truths, only to reject
them as “sick.” Here is one example:
“I have this experience of talking to someone and feeling  that I’m
on automatic. It’s like a reserve mechanism kicking in. I want to
shut it o. I want to be able to walk into a room and not think, ‘Oh,
look at that. I converted myself into matter.’ The top layer of my
mind is now above automatic, but that doesn’t seem like a gift to
me, it’s just neurotic. How do I get rid of this high awareness or
sensitivity, whatever you want to call it?”
I told her that other people have spent years on the spirit ual path
trying to achieve the very state of nonattachment that she has fallen
into. To a spiritual person, the feeling of being “on automatic”
implies that God or the higher Self has taken over from the small,
isolated self. Many saints, both Christian and Eastern, have reported
that they lived in such a blessed state. They considered it a kind of
second birth, freeing them from the bondage of the esh and the
ties of the past. After this rebirth, a person has nothing to fear from
the snares of Maya and can go forth to explore what lies beyond.
Yet the everyday world seems to have no relationship to the
boundless one, and to stand on the threshold of the higher Self,
where Karin nds herself, can generate deep fear. No one can feel
her experiences with her. There is no objective standard for
weighing them, and their scientic validity remains marginal (the
renowned English physicist Sir Arthur Eddington once remarked
that any attempt to scientically measure a subjective experience
was like trying to nd the square root of a sonnet).
In this light, the words that have come to us from the ancient
spiritual traditions are all the more valuable, since they can serve as
lifelines to the present. In India the Bhagavad-Gita  is taken as thequintessence of the collected wisdom on the nature of reality. There,
Lord Krishna tells the warrior Arjuna that every person shelters a
“dweller in the body” who is wholly unlike the isolated, vulnerable
ego:
Weapons cannot cleave him,
Fire cannot burn him,
Water cannot wet him,
Wind cannot dry him away …
He is eternal and all-pervading,
Subtle, immovable, and ever the same.
Although this invulnerable dweller may seem to be a religious
concept—what most devout people call the soul—Lord Krishna
asserts that it is the same self that gives everyone his sense of “I
am.” In Sanskrit several dierent words are needed to describe the
full range of the self, from the most local to the completely
universal. Each of us has an individual spirit that underg oes unique
experiences in life—this is called the jiva in Sanskrit; it comes


.
The idea that you must struggle in order to experience abundance—
whether in the form of love relationships, money, or anything else—
interferes with the natural magnetism that otherwise brings abundance
forth. There is a difference between having to work  and having to struggle.
Work is creative  effort, a righteous extension of positive energy that attracts
abundance; struggle is a perversion of creative energy based on a
misunderstanding of one’s basic relationship to the universe. Anxiety and
struggle do not attract your good.
If you think you have to struggle, you’re forgetting your relationship to
the universe; and the universe will then seem to forget its relationship to
you! Your job is simply to be, joyfully expressing your own inner worth —
and the universe will find a way to take care of you. But if you think, “I
have to struggle, because otherwise I’m not taken care of,” then your core
belief is that you won’ t be taken care of—and you won’ t be!
The universe is programmed to support your happiness, and one of the
ways it does this is by arrangin g events so that you won’ t have to worry
about money. Why? Because you have more important things to do! That is
the correct motivation for makin g money: so you simply don’t have to think
about it except as a tool for the betterment of all things.
It’s difficult to open yourself to such thinking if you’re not open to the
idea of your own internal magnificence. Recognition of your internal
magnificence is not ego; it’s the acknowledgment of the spirit within you,
which makes you no more or less valuable than anyone else. All of us are
infinitely valuable to God.
Many of us were taught as children that we shouldn’ t express  ourselves
too much. We should pipe down in some way. Such children often become
adults who are in the habit of cowering, as though we’re afraid of taking up
too much space. Our mind then comes into conflict with our soul’ s
knowing. Becau se each of us is the center of the universe, we are here to
express ourselves,  and on some level we know this.
There is no need to feel you shouldn’ t take up too much room in a
universe that is in fact all yours. You are here to fly at full wingspan, for theglory of the One who sent you. You give your greatest gifts when you are
flying fully and freely. You’re actually withholding from the universe when
you don’ t.
If Mommy or Daddy or a teacher or a mate or anyone else you might have
met along the way taught you for whatever reason that your job is to keep
your head down, then bless them but know that they were misinformed. A
Course in Miracles  claims that those who have achieved the most in the
world have achieved only a fraction of what each of us is capable of. And
that means that you have as much achievement potential as any great artist,
scientist, or anyone else who ever lived. Unlimited potential lies within you,
just waiting to be activated by your own af firmative response to the idea.
Once you know this, you become a magnet for worldly success. You work
from joy and the universe respo nds. You open your heart to love, and the
way is made clear for you.
Love, in whatev er form would serve us, is always coming towa rd us. Our
job is not to go out and find it, but to allow it to find us. Money isn’t just
something we “go out and make”; it’s also something we have to be able to
“sit still and receive.” The ego doesn’ t want you to believe this, but all you
have to do is open your heart, and all the abundance you need will find its
way to your door.

ONE MORNING, I was picked up by a car service for a drive to the airport. I
asked the young man who was driving whether he was new to the company,
as I hadn’ t seen him before.
“Yes,” he said. “I just moved to Los Angeles from New York.”
“Let me guess,” I said, smiling. “Actor?”
“Well,” he said. “W riter, painter—but I don’ t know. I do a lot of things.”
I asked him what kind of painter he was and what kind of writer.
“I write dramas. But I don’t know ... I think I need to write something
else in order to get something sold.” He appeared to be struggling with his
predicament.
“What does that mean?” I asked. “Like horror films or something?”
He nodded knowingly and rolled his eyes. I wondered how he was going
to attract a sale by writing something he didn’ t even like to write.“What I need to do is network,” he told me. “I lived here before, and I
knew a lot of people.” He then rattled off some names of successful
producers and directors, as though if only he had impressed them before,
then he’d be living in Bel Air by now. “So I had the relationships, I just
didn’ t know how to ...” He moved his arms around as though to say he
didn’ t know how to schmooze, to do the dance. He seemed to see this as the
gist of his failure.
“But my real problem,” he conti nued, “is that I don’t know how to write a
dramatic moment.” How we’d gotten there, I wasn’ t sure. “I do have
confidence in my craft, but I’m not confident in the art of it. I know how to
write things technically, but I don’t know how to write that big dramatic
moment. I have to figure out how to do that.”
“Well,” I said, “I’m not sure you can ‘figure out’ how to write a big
dramatic moment, because a big dramatic moment by definition doesn’ t
come from the part of the mind  that can figure things out. That’ s why it’s
called ‘drama.’  It has less to do with a rational formula and more to do with
a spontaneous burst of emotional truth.”
“Yeah,” he said. “I guess ...”
“So for that,” I continued, “you’ll need to learn to access your own
authenticity and feeling. Otherwise, how can you convey it to others? I
don’t know how you can access  your authenticity when you seem to think
you should be someone other than who you are, wanting something other
than what you really want, and doing something other than what you want
to be doing.”
“Yeah, you’re right,” he said, sighing. “I just gotta figure out how to do all
that.”
Oy. “Well, you’re sort of doing  it again. Maybe there’ s nothing  to figure
out here at all. Maybe there’ s just some insight you might want to let in.
Your subconscio us mind will do the rest. The subconscious is a better
organizer than your conscious mind will ever be.”
He is probably wondering, at this point, who the crazy lady in the backseat
is. My cappuccino is kicking in now.
“The universe can organize itself. The embryo doesn’ t need to figure out
how to become a baby. Buds don’t have to figure out how to become
blossoms. Nature has its plan figured out.
“Or you can look at it this way,” I continued. Poor guy. I’m on a roll now.“Think of a pile of iron shavings. Now, what’ s the best way to form the
shavings into a pattern, using your fingers or introducing a magnet?
“Your internal self is like a magnet. Call it the Christ, or your Inner Light,
or whatever; there’ s a spirit within you that naturally attracts all the patterns
and details that would form your most beautiful life. Look what it arranged
for you this morning!”
I laughed, as we pulled up to the Los Angeles airport and I searched the
signs for Southwest Airlines.
“Yeah, I was thinking that ...,” he said. “Now what did you say you do?”
“Oh, I just talk about this stuf f a lot,” I smiled, as I got out of the car.
The universe had indeed self-o rganized that morning. The young man
received inform ation that might help him in his work if he was open to it;
and I got a demonstration of how people hold themselves back by not
remembering who they are, suggesting to me that I should include the issue
in this book, thus adding to my work!
Yet neither of us would have been so served had we not been open-hearted
and open -minded enough to engage in friendly dialogue with the person in
front of us. He had introduce d himself to me; I had asked him about
himself. Those two things—se emingly meaningless moments of human
connection—opened the door through which the universe could provide its
gifts to both of us.
Neither one of us could get the gift, however, unless we made ourselves
available to receive it. He could have been preoccupied and not at all
interested in interacting with the client in the backseat, and I could have
been preoccupied and not at all interested in interacting with him. These are
the kinds of ways we turn down  miracles all the time. We fail to realize that
what we need is available to us at

  to be the
“mystery” cause behind numerous complaints and conditions in every field
of medical practice.
Anna and her h usband, having exhausted the traditional rout es for a
solution, somehow came across my work and were relieved to hear that the
ef fects of overbreathing could indeed lead to palpitations characterized by
an abno rmally rapid heartbeat. W ith nothing to lose, they enr olled in my
course.
When Anna arrived at the clinic, she appeared to be the picture of
health, i n her early thirties, slim, and of a petite build. For a few moments I
observed her breathing without her noticing. She seemed to be a nose
breather, but the one thing tha t caught my eye was that she would sigh
every fe w minu tes, lifting her shoulders and taking in a lar ge breath. I’d
seen the ef fects of regular sighing many times over the years, often in
individuals pron e to anxiety, and just like mouth breathing, it is a habit that
usually goes unnoticed. I explained to Anna that in order to resolve her
heart sy mptoms, it was very im portant that she retrain herself to stop this
regular sighing.
Even th ough a sigh is often involuntary, taking place bef ore the
individual is aware of it, we still have a measure of control to reduce and
eliminate the pattern. I explained to Anna that she should hold h er breath or
swallow any time she felt a sig h coming on. If by chance she missed one,
she sho uld hold her breath for 10 seconds to compensa te for the
overbreathing. I  also provided her with a relaxation exercise and taught her
the Breathe Light to Breathe Right exercise, which she proceeded to
practice diligently for 10 minutes, 6 times per day. In addition, Anna began
to p ay m ore atte ntion to her bre athing throughout the day, ensuring that it
stayed calm and quiet at all times.
When h usband and wife returned one week later, Anna explained how
much calmer she felt, and brought the fantastic news that her pulse had
reduced to a per fectly average 60 to 70 beats per minute. Anna’ s case was
one of my first e xperiences of the ef fect of overbreathing on cardiovascular
health, a nd one that I will never for get—a clear demonstrat ion of how
overbreathing c an af fect us in so many dif ferent and potenti ally serious
ways.T o demo nstrate the ef fects of b reathing on heart rate, I often ask my
students to locate their pulse and take six or seven big breaths quickly
through their mouth—within s econds, they are able to feel their pulse
getting quicker. I then ask the students to practice gentle, slow, relaxed
breathing and notice how the pulse slows down. If breathing rate and
volume can have such an immediate and significant ef fect on the heart, we
need to ask what repercussions poor breathing habits might h ave on the
long-term health of our hearts.
The heart performs the most important function of the body, and, like all
muscles, it requires suf ficient blood flow and oxygenation in order to work
properly. As Henderson showed, breathing in excess of normal metabolic
requirements causes a reduced concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood.
This state of hy pocapnia (which  Henderson called acapnia ) can af fect
cardiac functioning by decreas ing the circulation of blood in the blood
vessels and reducing blood flow  to the heart. Since low levels of carbon
dioxide in the blood lead to a strengthening of the bond betw een the red
blood cells and oxygen, the result is reduced delivery of oxygen to the
heart. O n the other hand, increasing carbon dioxide levels in the blood by
reducing breath ing volume toward normal will result in improved blood
flow and  increas ed available oxygen, providing the heart with a ready and
reliable supply of oxygen.
Cardiac Arr est in Athletes: A Missing Link
Each year, fit a nd healthy young athletes die from sudden adult death
syndrome or cardiac arrest. Thes e deaths have a far -reaching ef f ect not only
on family, friends, and classmates but also on entire communities.
Cormac McAnallen played Gaelic football for his native County
T yrone, winning  almost every h onor in the game during his career. He was
also a student at  Queen’ s University Belfast and University College Dublin,
and was named Queen’ s University graduate of the year in 2004.
On March 2, 2004, at just twenty-four years old, he died sudden ly in his
sleep du e to an undetected heart condition. T ributes to Cormac came from
all s ectors of soc iety, including Irish president Mary McAleese,  who hailed
him as “one of the greatest Gaelic footballers of his time.”While undertaking research for this book, my curiosity was rous ed as to
why healthy athletes might experience cardiac arrest or exhibit
electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities with no other apparent risk factors.
After all, most athletes are in th e prime of their life, eat a good diet, do not
smoke, have normal cholesterol levels and normal blood pr essure, and
generally care for their health. A side from genetic predisposition, which of
course w e have absolutely no control over, what other factors might
increase the risk of cardiac arrest in athletes?
In searc h of the reasons behin d unexplained heart failure in young
athletes, several studies have explored ECG abnormalities in order to find a
connection between the electrical system that controls the heart’ s rhythm
and unexpected cardiac arrest.
When the heart beats abnorm ally—either too fast or too s low, or
irregularly—this condition is termed arr hythmia. Ca rdiac arrest happens
when the electrical signals th at control the timing and rhythm of the
heartbeat become completely c haotic. When this happens the heart is no
longer able to ef fectively pump blood around the body, and unless the
condition is treated promptly, death is inevitable.
For the best chances of survival, immediate application of
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) followed by defibrillation is essential.
Although cardiac arrest often comes with no warning, clues such as
abnormal heart rate, chest pain, dizziness, fainting, blackouts, and flu-like
symptoms are sometimes presen t. Just prior to the onset of cardiac arrest,
the a thlete may feel dizzy or un well and then collapse, stop bre athing, and
quickly lose consciousness as b lood and oxygen stop flowing to the brain.
Unless circulati on is restored within a few minutes, irreve rsible brain
damage and subsequently death will result from sudden heart failure and the
cessation of circulation.
An electrocardio gram (ECG) is a test used to interpret the electrical
activity of the h eart, assessing the rate and regularity of the heartbeat as
well as the pres ence of any dam age to the heart muscle. In assessing ECG
abnormalities, doctors examine various indicators that are linked to a
number of life-threatening cardiac conditions.
Studies have found that certain ECG changes in young athletes are
common and usually reflect adaptations of the heart as a response to regular
physical training. However, ce rtain abnormal ECG readings, such as T -wave inversion and ST segme nt depression, were found to b e potential
precursors to sudden and unexpected cardiac arrest during sport or exercise.
Markedly abnormal ECGs in young and apparently healthy athletes may
also suggest the initial signs of underlying heart disease.
ST segment depression is consid ered to be a sign of reduced cir culation
in the blood vessels of the heart, and it has been suggested tha t there is a
link between ST segment depre ssion and the risk of sudden cardiac death.
In a study including 1,769 men without evident coronary heart disease, a
total of 72 deaths occurred in th e eighteen years of follow-up—all of whom
showed asympto matic ST segment depression during exercise on their ECG
readings.
Earlier on we d iscussed how overbreathing reduces blood fl ow and
oxygen delivery  to the heart. An opportune question at this point is whether
the a mount of air we breathe plays a role in the onset of cardiac arrest. This,
I thi nk, could be  an important f actor in the investigation of sud den cardiac
death in young athletes.
A s tudy conducted by researc hers from the University of P atras in
Greece revealed how the amount of air we breathe can produce changes in
electrocardiogram results. During the study a total of 474 healthy volunteers
with no apparent heart disease increased their breathing rate to  more than
30 b reaths per m inute for 5 minu tes to create the ef fects of hyperventilation.
ECG readings reported abnormalities in 72 volunteers, including findings of
ST depression and T -wave inv ersion, with 80.5 percent of abnormalities
occurring within the first minute of hyperventilation. Interestingly, the study
found that age, gender, smokin g, and hypertension did not in fluence the
overall incidence of the abnormalities, showing that even perfectly healthy
individuals can be susceptible to the abnormalities caused by
hyperventilation.
If

Meanwhile — when no one else could help Issy Morin — the state of New
York yanked Dr. Revici‘s medical license.    29
 Nor was Issy‘s battle over. The long -term effects of her kidney damage
caused her to go into shock. But the people who said Issy would only last a
few weeks had not referred her to a kidney specialist. Issy could overcome
the cancer, but like Revici, she was no match for the medical establishment.
Five months after her first coma, Issy surrendered for the last time.
Was it just luck that caused Issy‘s tumor to shrink so much? Why did the
invasive spider leg shrivel up a nd go away? Well, consider that the 100 -year
old Dr. Revici has had six decades of success with cancer patients who have
benefited from his discoveries. Those patients were just as lucky and just as
spontaneously healed as little Issy, for Dr. Revici is  the doctor who cures
cancer.
More than thirty years ago, Dr. John Heller, who was then the medical
director of Sloan -Kettering Memorial Cancer Center, privately said of Dr.
Revici, ―I‘ve known him for ten years. I don‘t know how he does it, but
patie nts walk in dead and walk out alive.‖ This is the story of that man and his
many lucky patients, and of a medical establishment that has fought him
every step of the way.
Who is Dr. Revici, what has he discovered, and why do his patients consider
him t o be a miracle worker? Furthermore, how did the forces of conventional
medicine stop him from helping the vulnerable Issies of the world?
Perhaps more importantly, what do Revici‘s discoveries mean for the future of
cancer treatment and other condition s, such as AIDS and drug addiction, and
how can we personally benefit from his work? The answers to those
questions — and more — start with an exploding ambulance.   30

 31
 Part I — His Life
1. Living with the Nazis Overhead
“Get out! Drop everything and run!”
Paris ch ief of police in a telephone call to Dr. Revici
“There was Hippocrates, there was Galen, and then there was Paracelsus. He is among them.”
Professor Gerhard Schrauzer, speaking of Dr. Revici
Emanuel Revici was born over a century ago, a century apart fr om this one, in the plains of a
mountainous country that was also a kingdom, in a land without telephone or radio, but with a culture
that rivals our own. On September 6, 1896, from that land of simplicity and royalty, of farmers and
kings, in Bucharest, R omania, was born perhaps the greatest medical scientist this world has ever
known.
Some memories fade with the passage of a century of life. Still, there are a few that have stayed with
Dr. Revici and that seem to have influenced his entire life. At the a ge of ninety -eight Dr. Revici told me
about a few of them. His father, Tullius Revici, M.D., was a physician whose practice ranged from
members of the nobility to the local peasantry. Emanuel showed an early spark of interest in his father‘s
profession. ―M y father had a microscope. We started playing,‖ Dr. Revici would tell me. Because of
Emanuel‘s interest, Tullius and his son had many conversations about the practice of medicine.
As a boy Emanuel seemed to need little sleep and would often stay up half the night. He sometimes
watched curiously as his father would go out late at night to see patients. Once, when Emanuel was
young, he waited for his father‘s return and asked him how much he was paid for the long, late -night
house call. Tullius told his son  he had not charged the patient because the family had little money. It
was a lesson Emanuel would remember and would put into practice during his entire professional
career.
When Emanuel was ten, he told his father he wanted to be a physician. Tullius a sked him why he
would want to follow in his father‘s footsteps. Emanuel told him, ―I want to help people.‖
His father pushed him on his answer, ―Is it because you also think you can make a good living?‖
―No, I want to help people, only that,‖  Emanuel answered.   32
 Tullius was finally satisfied, ―I‘m glad you answered this way. If you had told me you also wanted to
make a lot of money, I would have been disappointed.‖
At the age of twelve, Emanuel took on the task of writing four medical books about the human body.
He said he stopped at the fifth book, which would have been about the brain, because he found it too
difficult. His father told him he was too young to be writing about such thi ngs, although one might
guess he was secretly pleased.
Emanuel‘s apparent intelligence and his interest in medicine could not be denied for long, however.
By the age of sixteen he began to attend the Bucharest School of Medicine — a full four years ahead
of the average first -year student.
Revici was pulled out of his fourth year of medical school to serve as a field doctor in what would
become World War I. He saw many soldiers die. ―The trenches were dug in a straight line,‖ he said,
―so one shell killed many.‖
Seventy -five years later Revici recounted a story of an event that would change his life. On a day like
so many others, his squad traveled down a road with their horse -drawn ambulances. In addition to
himself, his ambulance carried a medic and a w ounded soldier. He called for the caravan to stop.
Lieutenant Revici climbed out and went off into the woods to relieve himself. Within seconds the group
was attacked, and at least one shell hit his ambulance. Both men inside were killed, as was the man
riding on top of the ambulance. The two horses that were hitched to the ambulance were also killed in
the shelling.
After Revici returned to Bucharest and the story was told, he was taken off this front -line detail and
reassigned to the hospital — possibly because he was so young, or perhaps because his
intelligence was recognized as something that should not be lost.
He found himself in trouble almost right away. Revici, who specialized in bacteriology while in medical
school, quickly realized that too -high a number of patients were dying from apparent infection. He
performed some pathological autopsies on a few of the dead and found that the cause of death was
cholera, a condition that was believed to have been previously eradicated.
His discovery did no t sit well with certain higher -ups. Fortunately, even at his early age, Revici had
gained the respect of some of the more senior people at the hospital, including Professor D.
Danielopolu, chairman of medicine and a member of the French Academy, who said, ―I know Dr. Revici.
His specialty is bacteriology. If he says it‘s cholera, then that‘s what it is.‖ Through further investigation,
Revici was able to track down the probable source of the outbreak to a patient from a remote area who
had come in contact wi th some refugees from Russia.
When the war ended, Revici returned to medical school, from where he would
 33
 graduate at the top of his class in 1920. Because of his number -one class ranking, he was
automatically offered a teaching position at the university. He accepted the offer and within a few years
he would become an assistant professor there.
Revici also opened his own medical practice. His father‘s habit of treating whoever needed his
services would become a hallmark of Dr. Revici‘s practice. In seventy -four years as a practicing
physician, he would never turn away any patient because he or she was too sick or too poor.
Like his father before him, his patients came from all walks of life. At f irst his patients would include the
farmers and villagers of Romania. His willingness to treat the poor would continue throughout his life.
Yet, like his father, the well -to-do also came to see him. Years later he would treat more than three
thousand drug addicts, most of whom were from Harlem. In the meantime, he also treated some of the
world‘s luminaries including Oscar winners Anthony Quinn and Gloria Swanson; the Broadway star
Gertrude Lawrence; the Archbishop of Ephesus, Lorenzo Michelle DeValich; the  Dalai Lama; the wife
of the Russian ambassador to Mexico; and the sister of a close advisor to the president of France.
Yet as much as he loved his patients, he also had a deeply curious mind. Throughout most of his life he
slept only two to four hours a  night. During his waking hours he devoted himself to trying to find
answers to the scientific questions that perplexed him. As Dr. A. R. Salman, a former Revici associate,
who is now the chief physician of Emerald Coast Hospital in Florida, would recently  say, ―He didn‘t go
out to movies or dance. He devoted seven days a week, all of his life to his patients

SECTION XI - CONTENTS, CHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES
 There are several papers in this group showing the widespread interest in the plant's chemistry. Not all researchers come up with the same findings as would be expected because of the variety of specimens
used. The constituents of an Aloe Vera plant will vary depending on (i) its botanical variety, (ii) its age,
(iii) the type of soil in which it was grown, (iv) the amount of sunshine to which it was subjected, and (v)
the season in which it was harvested.
