 the real prenatal influence.”

55.3.1 Proper Diet
Thebest dietforapregnant woman (and, indeed, foreveryone) isthatwhich hasa
proper balance ofcarbohydrates, fats, andproteins. This canbeobtained byeating ava-
riety ofmostly rawfruits with some vegetables, nuts, seeds, andsprouts. Ineating this
diet, thepregnant woman provides herbaby with allthemineral salts, vitamins, andoth-
er food elements necessary for its proper growth and development.
The mother tobemust also make sure shecombines thefoods according tofood
combining rules (nofruits with vegetables, noproteins with fruits, nostarches with pro-
teins, etc.) soshewillassimilate thenutrients inthese foods most efficiently andplace
theleast burden upon herdigestive facilities. Also, eating inanatmosphere ofpeaceful-
ness asopposed toupset, inawell-ventilated environment, andinmoderation arevery
important factors in proper nourishment.
Although most people willstrongly advise against fasting while pregnant, itcanbe
advantageous toboth mother andbaby toundertake ashort fast(one tothree days) dur-
ingtheearly months ofpregnancy.Many women, atthistime, experience some form
ofnausea anddiscomfort andlossofappetite. This isnotduetoherpregnancy,butto
hertoxemic state. Needless tosay,when there isnoappetite, nofood should betak-
en.Nature knows best andattempts toputthephysiological house inorder causing the
pregnant woman discomfort andlack ofappetite. Afewdays offasting should restore
comfort tothemother andenable hertoeatwithout distress. Many people willtellthe
mother thatharm willcome toherbaby andtoherifshedoes noteatplenty of“good
nourishing food” atthistime, butwhat willshegain ifsheeatswhen sheisnauseous and
then ejects the food as soon as it is eaten? (See section on complications in pregnancy.)
Along fastduring pregnancy,however,isnotrecommended. Thefetus isgrowing
andobtaining nourishment from themother andcanonly gosolong before deficiency
will result.
Short fasts give thebody achance toadjust tothepregnant state. They allow the
organs torestandcleanse themselves toprevent abnormality ofthefetus. Short fasts
improve assimilation andutilization ofnutrients from thefood taken following thefast.
Fasting alsoimproves metabolism which makes nutrition more complete, notonly inthe
intestinal phase, but also when it reaches the cell of the fetus.55.3.2 Items To Avoid While Pregnant
While itistrue thateating fresh, rawfruits andvegetables will have apositive in-
fluence onthehealth oftheoffspring; itisalso truethatconsuming unnatural andtoxic
substances such asdrugs, coffee,alcohol, fluoride, salt, vinegar,condiments, preserva-
tives, processed foods, etc., willhave adetrimental effect. These items, andmore, must
be avoided if optimum health is desired, for one’ s child.
55.3.3 Drugs, Alcohol, and Cigarettes
More andmore young women drink alcohol andcoffee,smoke cigarettes, andeat
junkier foods than inthepast. Along with thisfactthenumber ofunhealthy anddefec-
tive babies born each year increases.
Many studies have been conducted inrecent years thatindicate theharmfulness of
alcohol, drugs, andcigarettes ontheunborn baby.Itisknown thateven moderate con-
sumption ofalcohol—in fact, even onedrink—can have aneffectonthefetus. Severe
birth defects have been caused byalcohol consumption inpregnant women. Some ba-
biesareborn with “fetal alcohol syndrome”—that is,they have shortened features, apu-
gnacious casttotheir faces, andtheir eyes arevery close together.Spontaneous abortion,
smaller than normal babies, very small head size, mental retardation, complications of
pregnancy (seesection onthis), andabroad range ofother adverse effects arecaused by
alcohol consumption.
Theplacenta, which supposedly filters outharmful substances ingested bythemoth-
er,does notfilter outdrugs, alcohol, tobacco poisons, caffeine, spices, etc.This iswhy
it is imperative that these substances be avoided by pregnant women (and everyone).
Smoking while pregnant causes ababy tobesmaller andweaker.Thesmoke inthe
mother ’sbloodstream prevents oxygen from getting through tothefetus. Thirty-five per-
cent ofpremature births (terms ofeight months orless) arefrom smokers. Also, ba-
biesborn with weights oflessthan 4.3pounds arealmost always from smoking women.
Physicians, inmany cases, merely warn their pregnant “patients” tocutdown onciga-
rettes rather than to cease them completely. The same is true for alcohol.
Anexample ofhow deadly drugs canbeisasfollows: inthe1950s and60s, adrug
called thalidomide was marketed. Itwas frequently prescribed topregnant women to
help them tosleep. Notonly diditnothelp them tosleep; italsocaused them toprickle,
perspire, tremble, vomit, become giddy,losefeeling intheir extremities, andworst ofall
caused their babies tobeborn with severe deformities. Thalidomide babies were often
born with seal-like flippers forarms andlegs among other deformities. Seven thousand
of these defective babies were born before the drug was removed from the market.
This isjustonedrug, however,amongst themyriad ofdrugs thathasbeen, andstill
isbeing, prescribed topregnant women toremedy avariety ofsymptoms ranging from
morning sickness, eclampsia, etc., tosleeplessness, nervousness, etc.Alldrugs areharm-
ful to everyone who takes them but even moreso to an unborn child.
Various parts ofthefetus’ body areformed atdifferent times during pregnancy.For
example, thenervous system forms 15-25 days after conception; thelimbs 24-36 days
after conception; theheart 28-45 days after conception; thefingers andtoes 36-42 days
after conception; andtheears andnose at29-45 days. Adrug taken atanyoneofthese
stages ofdevelopment cancause defects ofvarying degrees tothebody partthatisde-
veloping. “Medicines,” tranquilizers, Xrays, insecticide sprays, exposure tosmog, etc.,
are all very harmful to the fetus and should be avoided as much as possible.
Arecent testconducted on3,528 drugged (anesthetics, pain relievers, tranquilizers,
muscle relaxants, etc.) pregnant women proved thatchildren born ofthese women were
slightly toseverely mentally retarded. They lagged inlanguage andlearning skills. Their
perception and memory were below normal and their judgments were faulty.Physicians, inspite oftheresults ofthistest, saythattheFDA isstringent initspro-
tection ofpregnant women. They claim there isnotonenonprescription drug thathasad-
verse effects onthefetus. (What about aspirin?) Itisalsoclaimed thatobstetricians will
notprescribe drugs thatareharmful tobaby.Yetthey prescribe allofthedrugs thathave
proven harmful intheabove-mentioned test, oftentimes justto“keep awoman happy”
without warning them ofthepossible “side effects” ofthedrugs. Remember: alldrugs
arevery harmful totheunborn child. Drugs never produce health—only untoward ef-
fects.
55.3.4 Coffee and Other Caffeinated Beverages
Astudy conducted bytheFDA hasfound thatcaffeine causes birth defects. This
drug isfound incoffee,teas, softdrinks (mostly colas), chocolates, andinnumerous
over-the-counter drugs. Most of these items are routinely consumed during pregnancy.
55.3.5 Fluoride and Salt
Physicians tellmany pregnant women thatthefluoride putintoourdrinking water
willprevent future dental caries intheir offspring. They’re toldtodrink much ofitwhile
they’re pregnant forthisreason. However,these same physicians admit that ifthese
women drink toomuch ofit,itwillcause mottling ofthechild’ steeth. Buthow much is
toomuch? I’lltellyou—any amount. Pregnant women should drink only distilled water
andthatonly ifthey arethirsty.Fluoride ispoisonous andcannot behelpful toanyone.
We cannot be poisoned into health.
Saltispoisonous, butespecially forpregnant women andtheir fetuses. Edema isat-
tributed toahigh saltintake. This problem isvery common inpregnant women inthis
country asthesaltintake isincredible—salt isinalmost every processed orprepared
“food.” Butifonly fresh, rawfruits

What causes gallstones to form? Are operations sometimes necessary?
According toDr.Shelton, imprudent eating andheavy eating offatty foods by
theenervated andtoxemic, andalack ofexercise, arechief among thecauses that
produce gastrointestinal andbiliary irritation leading tostone formation. They do
notdevelop inhealthy individuals, butinthose who have broken down their health
by years of wrong living. Nobody would ever have gallstones if he lived right.
Referring tothegallbladder operation, Dr.Shelton says, “Inmyopinion there is
nonecessity tooperate forgallstones. Normal nutrition isnotrestored byremoving
aneffectofimpaired nutrition. The great andgrowing army ofpostoperative in-
valids attests tothefactthatoperations onorgans ofthebody donotrestore health.
Toomany organs areremoved thatcould besaved bythesimple expediency of
draining them by means of the fast.
“Instead ofsurgically draining thegallbladder,afastwill enable thebody to
perform anexcellent jobofdrainage anddoitinaway toleave thegallbladder in-
tact and unharmed.”
Can tumors be dissolved without having to resort to surgery?
Yesthey can. Dr.Shelton hashadconsiderable experience onthissubject and
he says,
“Awoman wastoldthatshehad” afibroid tumor oftheuterus about the
size ofalemon, andthatitshould beremoved atonce. This meant thather
womb would beremoved andthatduring surgery reasons might bediscovered
for removing her ovaries.
“But thiswould notrestore health. Shewould stillbeasick woman. Op-
erations remove effects, notcauses. There would probably bearecurrence of
tumor.Shewould also beaphysiological cripple. Cutting into theovaries is
likecutting into thebrain. The patient rejected theoperation andresorted to
the fast. Soon the tumor was autolyzed and her or gans were saved.
“One case thatIcared forwasawoman who hadauterine fibroid about
thesizeofamedium-sized grapefruit. Complete absorption ofthetumor was
brought about intwenty-eight days. This was anunusually rapid rateofab-
sorption and I have never seen it take place so rapidly in another case.
“Ihave seen tumors inthebreast, onthewomb, intheabdomen, onthe
feetandelsewhere absorbed while fasting, andsome ofthese absorptions have
been rapid while others have been slow.
“For reasons thatarenotyetfully understood, some tumors arenotaffect-
edbythefast, butthousands oftumors, some ofthem ofconsiderable size,
have been completely andpermanently removed byfasting. Ihave hadthe
pleasure ofsaving hundreds ofwomen from mutilating operations forthere-
moval ofthebreast, andmany more from desexing operations forremoval of
uterine fibroids. The process isidentical with theremoval ofstores offatin
the tissues. There is nothing mysterious about it.
“Just asfatonanypartofthebody may beautolyzed andtaken upbythe
lymph stream tobemingled with theblood andused innourishing thevital
tissues oftheorganism-while nofood isbeing taken, soother tissues may be
digested inthesame manner andused asfood. Muscular tissue, glandular tis-
sue, andother tissues may becalled upon tosupply nutriment forthemore
vital tissues, those that have to carry on the most essential functions of life.“Inlikemanner,thetissues thatmake upatumor (neoplasm) aredigested
andabsorbed, theusable portions employed innourishing thevital tissues, the
nonusable portions excreted.”
Article #1: Is Medicine a Fraud? by Dr. Herbert M. Shelton
Afewyears agoDr.Hutchinson, consulting physician totheLondon Hospital, lectured
atAberdeen University on“The Progress andPresent Aspect ofMedical Science.” The
lecture waspublished intheBritish Medical Journal. Inthislecture Dr.Hutchinson said:
“Sofewarethediseases thatwecanreally cure, thatoneistempted tobelieve
thatifallthedoctors went onstrike forayear theeffectonthedeath ratewould be
inappreciable. Inmost cases ofillness thedoctor isreally amental poultice; heisa
source ofcomfort, confidence, andconsolation tothepatient andhisfriends; butif
heishonest with himself hewilladmit thatthenumber ofpatients who would have
died but for his attendance is lamentably small.”
Does thishonest confession notbrand thepractice ofmedicine asagigantic fraud
anditspractitioners asagang ofswindlers? Wasanything Iever said about medicine a
stronger condemnation ofthepractice than thiscoming from oneofitshonored mem-
bers? Does Dr.Hutchinson, intheabove statement, not, ineffect, atleast, accuse the
members of his profession of accepting money under false pretenses?
Article #2: Physician Heal Thyself - Part 1
Thefrequency with which medical specialists dieofthevery diseases inwhich they spe-
cialize speaks volumes tothethinking person. Ifaphysician specializes indiseases of
theheart fortwenty orthirty years anddevelops heart disease from which hedies, how
can such a man be expected to be able to prevent or “cure” heart disease in his patients?
Ifhedoes notknow enough tosave himself. how canhesave you? Ifmembers ofhis
own family sicken anddieofthe“disease” thathehasmade theobject ofhisspecialty,
hatcanhedoforthemembers ofyour family? Isitnotabout time wedemand ofthese
men thatthey prove intheir own lives andintheir own families thevalue oftheir much
boasted “science”?
Heart specialists dieofheart disease, lung specialists dieoftuberculosis, cancer spe-
cialists dieofcancer,asthma specialists have asthma, hayfever specialists have hay
fever,neurologists become insane—what kind ofascience ofmedicine isthisthatis
good for everyone but its practitioners?
Here is a case in point. It is taken from the New Y ork T imes:
HEART ATTACK KILLS HEART SPECIALIST, 56
Dr. John M. Cassidy Stricken While Attending Patient
JERSEY CITY,N.J.—Dr.John M.Cassidy,aspecialist indiseases oftheheart, was
stricken with aheart attack atthebedside ofapatient here yesterday anddied within a
few minutes. Dr. Cassidy was 56 years old and lived at 1913 Boulevard.
Hewasborn inPaisley,Scotland, andhisfamily emigrated totheUnited States when
hewas aboy.Hereceived hisearly education intheUnited States andinScotland, a
Bachelor ofScience degree from New YorkUniversity andadegree from Bellevue Med-
ical College, from which he was graduated with Phi Beta Kappa honors.
Forfifteen years hewasalecturer onthestaffatBellevue Medical College andfor
twenty-eight years hewasonthestaffattheGreenville Hospital inthiscity.Forseveral
years he was associated with Dr. John W ycoff, New Y ork heart specialist.
Withallhiseducation, allofhisdegrees, hisconnections with famous institutions
andhiswide experience, hedidnotknow how tocare forhisown body inaway tokeepithealthy andstrong. What good isallhisstore ofknowledge, ifitcannot beused to

“By their fruits yeshall know them” applies asmuch to“science” astotrees. What are

 andevery living organism endowed with certain
instincts, drives, sensations, inherent desires, andindications which canalso register as
discomforts, which impel it to act in its own self-interest.
Allsecondary principles which aresetdown aslaws ofnature with respect tohuman
lifearebasically elaborations, orsecondary principles hinging upon thisfundamental
principle ofself-preservation, serving toguide usinthefulfillment ofthese fundamental
principles.
79.3. The Law Of Order
Theliving organism iscompletely self-constructing, self-serving, self-maintaining, self-
directing, self-repairing, self-defending andself-healing. These arebiological processes,extensions ofthenormal physiological mechanisms thatrenew andrepair theorganism
onadaily basis, andareachieved bytheorganism’ sown forces andprocesses inalawful
and orderly manner.
This law is basically self-explanatory and needs no further elaboration.
79.4. The Law Of Action
Intherelations between theliving organism andlifeless matter,theformer isactive and
thelatter passive, always; (R.Trall) therefore, whenever andwherever action occurs in
theliving organism asaresult ofextraneous influences, theaction isascribed totheliv-
ingorganism which alone isempowered with theability toact,andnottoanylifeless
material, agent or influence whose leading characteristic is inertia.
This means thatifyouprovide thewrong conditions forliving things, such aspollu-
tants orpoisonous substances taken intothebody from without, youwillprovoke defen-
siveaction andinstinctive efforts oftheorganism todefend itself onthecellular,organ-
ic, and systemic levels as a unit. This principle goes hand-in-hand with our next law.
79.5. The Law Of Power
Thepower employed, andconsequently expended, inanyvital ormedicinal action, isvi-
talpower,generated from within; itistheliving organism thatacts, itisvital power that
produces theaction, andnohealing power whatsoever resides inanysubstances outside
the body.
This lawfurther clarifies thesource ofallactivity within theliving organism, that
being vital power,which isdistributed, utilized, andconserved inaccordance with other
laws which will be elaborated upon as we continue.
79.6. The Law Of Compensation
Inorder toexpend vital energyontheonehand, nature must conserve andregenerate on
the other.
This lawmeans thatthere must beabalance maintained between energyexpenditure
andenergyreplacement. This balance isautomatically observed bythebody under ideal
conditions. Therefore, itstands toreason thatthemore wedrive thebody,thelesspower
it will have for overall ef ficiency, that is, for basic functional needs.
79.7. The Law Of Selective Elimination
Allinjurious substances which gain admittance byanymeans intotheliving organism
arecounteracted, neutralized, andexpelled bysuch means andthrough such channels as
will produce the least amount of harm to living structure.
Examples ofthislawareillustrated bytheapparent actions ofdrugs which arein-
troduced into thebody and, depending onthecomposition ofthedrug, seem toaffect
certain parts ofthebody inaparticular way.Actually,aswehave discussed earlier,the
body isacting onthedrug according toitschemical character,using thepoint ofleast
resistance forcounteractive andeliminative measures, depending onwhat partorparts
of the body can do so with the least ill ef fects.
79.8. The Law Of Vital Accommodation
The Law ofVitalAccommodation isalso known asnature’ sbalance wheel. The re-
sponse ofthevital organism tointernal andexternal stimuli, agents andinfluences is
intrinsic andinstinctive, based onself-preserving, self-maintaining, andself-defending
abilities which enable theorganism to“adapt,” tolerate, oraccommodate those extrane-ousinfluences itcannot utilize, escape, destroy,eliminate, orcontrol inwhatever way
possible inorder tomaintain cellular,organic, andsystemic integrity andtoprotect the
lifeoftheorganism, attheexpense ofenervation, overall impairment ofhealth, andcon-
sequent degeneration within theorganism indirect proportion totheamount ofinflu-
ences and the toxic, enervating ef fects produced by the degenerating influences.
This lawmeans thattheliving organism cantolerate oraccommodate theextraneous
influences which enter orcome intocontact with it.It“adapts” itself towhatever itcan-
notfreeitself of.Thebody tries inevery way possible tomaintain functional poise, hav-
ingtosacrifice well-being. Functional vigor islowered forthesake ofsurvival. When
wemake compromises, wedosoinvariably atourown expense. Wecreate conditions;
the laws remain constant.
79.9. The Law Of Dual Effects
Allsubstances andagents either taken intotheliving organism orcoming intocontact
with itfrom without, occasion atwofold andcontrary action intime, thereactive orsec-
ondary action being the opposite of the active or primary one, and the more lasting.
Anexample ofthiswould beanything creating theeffectofstimulation asaprimary
action, which would result inasecondary reaction ofdepression, such astaking ahot
shower which gives oneasense ofwarmth andvigor andthereafter afeeling of“relax-
ation,” which inreality isalevel ofenervation. Thesame effecttakes place very com-
monly inthe“lazy” feeling created after consuming avery largemeal, whereby atfirst
onenever feels very stimulated and“ener gized.” This iswhat wecalla“stimulant delu-
sion” and is very common in most current enervating lifestyles.
79.10. The Law Of Utilization
Thenormal elements andmaterials oflifeareallthattheliving organism isever capable
ofconstructively utilizing, whether itiswell orsick, andthere must always beanormal
relation between theliving organism, whether inastate ofnormal orabnormal activity,
andthematerial things thatcontribute, more orlessperfectly,tosustaining biological
and physiological phenomena.
This lawmay seem avery simple one, butitisavery important lawtofully under-
stand. What thismeans isthatnosubstance orprocess thatisnotafactor -element in
physiology canbeofanyvalue intheliving structure under anycircumstances oflife.
That which isnonusable inastate ofhealth must beequally nonusable inastate ofill-
health. There aretwocategories ofsubstances thatenter oroccasion contact with the
body: Those thatafford nourishment, which isfood, andthose thathave nonormal rela-
tionship with thebody.They may bechemically dangerous orrelatively inert butafford
nonourishment. These arecategorically recognized aspoisons. When weareinacondi-
tionofdisease, only those substances andinfluences thatarenotforeign, butusable and
necessary factor -elements inastate ofhealth, should besupplied. Only they canbeof
any advantage to us.
Therefore, when sick ormanifesting symptoms, thebody isnotable toappropriate
substances thatwould contribute toill-health iftaken under normal conditions. Anything
which offersnonutritive value orcannot beappropriated intoliving tissue inthecontext
ofanatural food substance suitable toourbiological andphysiological identity asafru-
givore must becorrectly recognized asapoison andshould beavoided inallinstances.
Apoison hasnonormal relationship with ahealthy body.Itisnotusable inastate of
health norinastate ofsickness. Disease isabiological process—a defensive action in-
stigated bythebody inaninherent efforttoputright thatwhich hasdeveloped into a
difficult situation andhasbecome threatening tothelifeoftheorganism. Assuch, itis
anormal process ofcorrecting thatwhich hasdeveloped intoabnormality.Thebody be-
haves essentially inthesame way inastate ofill-health asitdoes inastate ofhealth,dealing with adversity asitisconfronted with it;therefore, thefactors andelements of
health arerightly employed forthesame purposes inthecare ofasickorganism asinthe
care ofahealthy one. Keep inmind thatwearedealing with changes inconditions and
how tointelligently allow thebody toeffect theproper changes necessary torecover its
normal state of health. Only the conditions change; the laws remain constant.
79.11. The Law Of Special Economy
Thevital organism, under favorable conditions, stores upallexcess ofvital factors tobe
employed in a time of special need.
This lawisespecially valuable toremember intheconsideration ofthesubject of
fasting. Itisthislawwhich shows usthatwhen wefast, wecanbesure that, under nor-
malconditions, wehave plenty ofreserves which thebody hasautomatically setaside
foritself during crises. Exceptions tothisusually involve metabolic imbalances ofdis-
ease pathology which have created serious impairment oratrophy ofaparticular gland,
organ orsystemic faculty.


 depth in private consultations.
Atgroup meetings, allpersons should begiven anopportunity tospeak, toaskques-
tions, toshare andtoencourage oneanother.Thepractitioner should usesuch meetings
toguide, direct, encourage participation andtoexplain when explanations areinorder.
Asstudents ofthiscourse, youwillbewell prepared tohandle most questions asthey
may arise from time to time.
Spouses and/orother concerned persons may,with thepermission oftheclient, be
invited tothese meetings and, indeed, should beencouraged toattend. Hygienic prac-
tices areusually totally foreign totheir thinking, too,andunless they fully understand
andareinaccord with what issuggested andtaught byyou, they may well prove anin-
surmountable obstruction to your client’ s future progress.
Thekeytosuccess inthese group meetings may behow well spontaneity isencour-
aged, andthismay well depend ontheattitude ofthepractitioner.Never permit yourself
tobebored. Tryalways tocultivate concern, interest, thatdeep desire tohelp. Sick peo-
pleoften suffermuch andthespontaneity they feelatyour meeting canprove apower-
fully positive influence for good.
Spontaneity may bedifficult toachieve butifonemakes aconscious efforttomake
these discussions free andopen, atime forsharing both successes andfailures, more
courage seems to develop.
Allofus,attimes, have tolearn to“take itonthechin” when healing crises arise, but
often these meetings with other individuals, who have experienced exactly what youare
now going through, canenable youtopick upthepieces andbegin again, confident that
when thecrisis isover,youhave passed amajor milestone onyour road tofullrecovery.
If you have to “wing it alone,” sometimes you can become discouraged and falter.Include thequiet ones inthegroup discussion byaddressing them directly as,forex-
ample, “Sue, what doyoufeelabout allthis?” Note theuseoftheword FEEL instead of
the word THINK.
Weallhave feelings andmost people, even thetimid ones, willrespond toaFEEL
question where they might panic at a “What do you THINK” one!
91.3.1.3 Ending the Group Meeting
Always endyour group meetings onahigh note! Encourage your clients tohold their
head up,toliftuptheir hearts aswell, toturntheir thoughts inward topositive channels
of“ICAN!” Urgethem tounify their energy,todraw down ablind, asitwere, onmat-
tersoflesser importance andtokeep their minds onaninner vision ofwhat they SHALL
become. Encourage them toemulate Lillian Russell’ sway ofpushing aside theunlovely,
who saidthatsheputasign onhermental door thatread: “Only theserene andthelove-
lycanenter here.” Shesaidthatathousand voices might callheraway from herresolve,
butshetrained herself nottohear them. Allofusmust train ourselves nottohear the
negative voices thatcryaloud, infavor ofkeeping ourthoughts focused inthedirection
wewish togo.Wecannot letthedistracting disruptive outer forces weaken ourown re-
solve. The future can be too beautiful!
Gather your group together inacircle. Letthem clasp hands andrepeat inunison
some simple CREDO, such as:
I AM WHOLE!
I AM PERFECT!
I AM STRONG!
I AM HAPPY!
BECAUSE I AM IN TUNE WITH MYSELF AND I AM HEAL THY!
SO BE IT!
The saying together ofasimple CREDO will help your clients toaccept thecor-
rectness oftheir program. Itwillhelp them tobelieve thatthey canhave anything they
desire, especially superb health. Allthatthey willberequired todoistoapproach life’s
problems constructively,maintaining, allthewhile, avision ofthepossible, andthen to
work at fulfillment.
Meetings such aswehave suggested canchallenge those present tocontinue on,to
work formaximum recovery.Asconditions ofindividual clients begin toimprove, you
willobserve that, onebyone, they gradually leave theside ofthenegative newcomers
andpass over tobecome amember ofthemore positive “Me-too-ers!” Each passover
serves toinspire your other newer clients togoforward, nottobecome discouraged, and,
importantly, you, the practitioner, too!
Before closing your meeting, announce atime forgathering together again. Meetings
should beheld atleast once amonth. Officers may beelected orappointed totake care
of routine announcements.
Usually,afewclients will volunteer toprovide certain necessary services such as
reminder telephone calls, etc.Itiswell sometimes tosuggest toyour clients thatthey
“think” about acertain topic as,forexample, “How Important isExercise inYourPlan
forHealth?” Then, thissubject may bethefocus ofthegroup’ sattention attheupcoming
meeting. Besure toaskthose inattendance tosign aregistration sheet. After youhave
been meeting forawhile, clients may askifthey canbring afriend. Encourage them to
doso.Itiswithin your right torequest aminimal feefrom clients foryour services at
these meetings. The money may be used to cover your time and expenses.
Don’ tforgetthatyoumust beavisible example ofpoise andpeace, ofsuccessful
accomplishment ofwhat theclients themselves desire sofervently.When youare,you
have acertain magic about youthatyouunconsciously impart tothose who seek your
help andyouwill beespecially successful inconducting these important group meet-
ings.91.3.2 The Practitioner at Work
Asapracticing Hygienist, you will bepursuing your career atevery private and
public appearance: when meeting with individual clients, when hosting orconducting a
small group forpurposes offurthering their education inHygienic practices, philosophy
andprinciples; and, certainly,when youbegin tohold classes andseminars forthepub-
lic, which we hope all of you will consider doing, and this as soon as practicable.
Youwillgreatly influence notonly theprogress ofyour clients, butalso your own,
inanumber ofways. Intelligent practitioners who wish tobecome sought outfortheir
expertise willaskthemselves many questions, andfuture success willdepend, ingreat
measure, upon what they dotoimprove inthese areas ofconcern. Weespecially recom-
mend that you address the following areas:
91.3.2.1 Questions to Ask Ourselves
1.Am I a reasonably good example of what I teach?
2.DoIspeak positively,with authority,butnotinanarrogant manner? OramItoohesitant
in my pronouncements?
3.AmIable toimpart verbally andbymybody movements andfacial expressions the
sense ofempathy andconcern Ifeeltoward myclients? Dothey sense thatIreally know
exactly how they feel; thatIunderstand their anxieties, their concerns? DoIconvey to
them a confidence in my words?
4.Do I listen more than I talk? Do I use the pronoun “I” too often?
5.Do I appreciate my own value?
Number 1
Ifthepractitioner hasrecovered from some specific condition, s/heisusually more
likely tospeak with authority onthatsubject andperhaps also onthegeneral subject of
how best toregain one’shealth. S/hemay even choose tospecialize inaparticular dis-
order as, for example, rheumatic or heart disorders.
However,having recovered from aparticular malady isnot,ofcourse aprerequisite
forpracticing asaHygienist! Even being capable ofmaintaining ahigh level ofhealth
under theprevailing unhealthful conditions andcircumstances, canbe,inandofitself,
aninspiring challenge toinduce lifestyle changes inyour clients. Infact, thismay well
be considered a “plus!”
One’ spastexperiences may well color thetone ofthevoice, impart acertain glow to
one’smanner andaddconviction tostatements, allhelpful influences. But, apractitioner

have towait forustoseeitinorder toexist. Ifwearesliding intoanother IceAge, andthescientists who foresee itsarrival arecorrect, anIceAge won’ tneed ourapproval or
belief in order to be a reality, that much we can be sure of.
Ofcourse itwould beeasier forourown “practical purposes ifsome oftheir cal-
culations weare“off.”After all,many so-called scientific theories have fallen bythe
wayside throughout theyears, asnew knowledge superceded oldknowledge. Even the
“world isflat” theory fellprey tothetestoftime. Whereas truth istruth despite what
people believe, knowledge may ormay notbetruedespite what people believe. Even if
it isn’ t true, it may be paraded around as fact for years, centuries, or even indefinitely.
Inthemeantime, many people continue tobelieve what they’re told, looking to“ex-
perts” foranswers anddepending onthem forknowledge; it’snotafoolproof learning

areinfluenced bythesizeoftheherd when choosing their beliefs. They feelsafety in

lieves something, itmust betrue, says their inner logic, orifnothing else, they’d still
rather bewith themajority.There isanalternative tojoining herds andfollowing ex-
perts: intuition.Ifyoucantrust your intuition, youarefortunate. Asafreethinker,you
canaskyourself what your intuition tells youabout theworld’ scurrent situation, the
state ofourenvironment, weather patterns, andIceAges. I’ve tried topresent various
opinions on these subjects, but I don’ t presume to have all the answers.
Myintuition tells metokeep anopen mind, andnottogive uphope. Iftheobserva-

onewould rather have hadahintahead oftime than besurprised atthelastminute! At
least thisleaves uswith theoption totake action, andtotrytosurvive onthisplanet.
It’sbeen said thatwedon’tfailuntil wegive uptrying. Hope isourstrongest ally—it
reinforces ourwilltolive. Without it,wearelost, forwithout hope, nothing matters any-
more.
So,even ifanIceAge were approaching during ourlifetime, wewould stillhave
hope asour“open door”. Foronething, wehave thepotential forchange.Some people
believe thatthere isafuture thatcanbeknown inthepresent (often called destiny), but
that, atthesame time, there isstillourfreewill—a powerful force thatcanchange or
alter “what ismeant tobe”. This gives uscontrol over our“destinies” andtheability to
create thelives wechoose. Aswesaid inanearlier lesson, weourselves areresponsi-
bleforourstates ofbeing; weunderestimate ourpower asindividuals when webelieve
thatrandom outside influences alone shape ourlives. Ironically,though, there isalso
some element of“chance “inlifethatcanweave itsinfluence into what wearebusily
creating; while weoften tend todefine things insimple dualities ofyesandnoweac-
tually have yes,maybe,maybe not,andno.Wecanpredict thatsomething willorwill
nothappen, andwecanbevery sure thatitwillorwillnothappen, ifweareaccurate.
Even so,thefactstillremains that, beyond ourfreewilloranyso-called destiny,there
arealso other powers andforces oflifeintheuniverse thatcanenter intoevery situa-
tion andcoincide with anyvariables involved, andthese sometimes alter theoutcome
orcause slight variations between what weexpect andwhat actually happens. Forthis
reason, when considering thereturn ofanIceAge, wecanstillallow forthepossibili-
ty,however small, thatsomething completely unpredictable atthispresent time—some
unforeseeable factor—could stillcome topass, something wecannot even conceive of
orenvision with ourpresent knowledge orawareness. This isnottosaythatweshould
resort toanescapist mentality orrationalize ourway outofsolving ourserious envi-
ronmental problems byusing theexcuse that“amiracle could happen” asajustification
forinertia —this would bewishful thinking andsheer delusion! We’remerely trying to
show thateverything thathappens inlifeisaffected bytheintricate interworkings of

ingtoIceAges, sonow we’re considering future factors, which, ofcourse, also lead ustotheunknown.Technology andscientific knowledge thatweusedaily andnow take

onecould stilldiscover anenergyforce/ source thatispresently unknown tohumanity,
orfindanew technique forcleaning andrestoring theenvironment, orinvent something

hope thatouringenuity willprove itself once more; we’ve gotten ourselves intoourpre-

tremendous growth inspirit evident allover theplanet—we ourselves canperform the
miracle ofincreased awareness—with aquantum leap inconsciousness, wecould save
ourselves by realizing what must be done before it is too late.
Ithasbeen said that ourstrongest instinct istosurvive. When Ifinished reading

tance ofseeing ourenvironmental problems collectively,asthey interrelate, rather than

 negative correlation between available sunlight and breast cancer death rates, that is living in
a sunny area is associated with lower cancer rates. Even skin cancer is inhibited by regular low-level sun exposure; only sunburn is a
strong skin cancer promoter. It has been stated that trends in the epidemiological literature suggest that approximately 30,000 U.S.
cancer deaths yearly could be averted by the widespread public use of regular mild sun exposure. A study on electricity workers
showed that those with the most sun exposure had the lowest rates of skin cancer and melanoma and vice versa. Other studies show
a strong link between long-term expo sure to ﬂuorescent lighting and melanoma. Melanoma often occurs on areas of the skin that had
not been exposed to sunlight.
Sensitive individuals, especially with low blood pressure and lack of energy, usually tending towards food allergies and chemical
sensitivities, should expose themse lves to the full sunlight only for very short periods; preferable is semi-shade as under a tree.
Insensitive individuals, on the other hand, with insensitive skin and often high blood pressure, beneﬁt from a longer exposure that
tends to sensitize them.
In addition to the skin, the eyes are important entrance points for sun-energy. J. N. OTT (Health and Light, Pocket Books)
demonstrated with his research how important it is for us to get the full spectrum of the sunlight into our eyes. This is not the case if
we sit behind windows or wear glasses. These ﬁlter out essential frequencies of the ultra-violet part of the spectrum.
Deﬁciency of this ultraviolet radiation caused by our living behind glass is a contributing factor in the development of degenerative
diseases such as arthritis, cancer and leukemia, eye diseases, hyperactivity and sexual problems. These harmful effects are
reinforced if the glass is inappropriately tinted, in this way blocking out a part of the visible spectrum as well.
OTT demonstrated that the primary effect of light entering our eyes is on the endocrine glands of the brain. He also showed that
colored lights have a strong inﬂuence on the ratio of male to female offspring when breeding animals. Especially bad are most kinds
of ﬂuorescent lighting, more so if they have a pink hue. Even more harmful is light from the color screens of television sets and
monitors. This ef fect is due to the artiﬁcial composition of these colors and in addition to any radiation dangers.
However, if one has sensitive eyes, one should continue to wear sunglasses if the light is very strong and glaring and only gradually
reduce their use when the eyes improve. The best sunglasses, if requir ed, are of a special composition of gray so that they reduce
the intensity of all colors to the same  degree. Most plastics, by the way, do not screen out the ultraviolet rays, in this way one obtains
the full sunlight by living behind clear plastic windows. However, a disadvantage of this is that one can get sunburned behind plastic
windows.
Lack of sunlight in winter or if we are bedridden makes us susceptible to depression. One can cure this so-called seasonal affective
disorder by looking into a bright light in the morning, preferably sunlight or otherwise with the full daylight spectrum.
Sunlight is also required to convert cholesterol into vitamin D. Multiple sclerosis is inversely related to the amount of sunshine in the
region, the closer to the equator, the lower the incidence of it. This is similar to the rate of cancer that also declines the closer we get
to the equator. Another important aspect of sunlight is our indirect intake of it in the form of sun-drenched fruits and vegetables. Such
foods absorb bio-energy as well as light frequencies from the sun, but these beneﬁcial energies are gradually lost if these foods are
stored in the dark. In this case it is beneﬁcial to expose them again to sunshine for a short period before eating.
Colored Light
Exposing ourselves to light of a certain color has a deﬁnite effect on our emotions as well as on our physical body. The most
balanced color is green and looking over green meadows and at the green of trees has a balancing ef fect on body and mind.
Blue and red, on the other hand, are the main opposites that may be used adjust the body if it is severely out of balance. Red and
especially orange are used for stimu lation when we are fatigued and need strength. Too much of it, however, will make us nervous
and irritable. Blue, of course, is sedating, even more so than green, not only for the mind but also for the body if there is pain, fever or
inﬂammation.
There are many different ways in which we can treat ourselves with colors. The most natural way is to look at distinctive colors in our
surroundings. In addition to looking at meadows and trees for their balancing green, we can look for long periods at the blue sky to
gain peace and quiet. For stimulation, on the other hand, we may focus on a red rose or any other red ﬂower bathed in the sunshine.
Another possibility is to paint or wallpaper our room in appropriate color s and to pay attention to the colors of carpets and curtains.
Then we may select suitab1e colors  for our clothing. Usually we express through the colors of our dress our inner feeling at the time,10/30/24, 3:01 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Bio-energies
https://health-science-spirit.com/Energies/Bio-energies.html 2/10for instance dressing in black or gray if we are depressed, thereby reinforcing the- negative mood. However, if we want to improve
our emotional condition, we should select the opposite color to our negative feeling. To ward off depression, for instance, we should
wear pink or another bright and stimulating color.
Furthermore, we may use differently colored light bulbs or colored lamp shades or we may use colored cellophane. However, most
one-sided color exposure should be only temporary for as long as it has a beneﬁcial effect on our condition. Too much blue, for
instance, can push a susceptible individual from being peaceful to becoming depressed.
Generally, it is best to use a mixture of colors inside the house and for our clothing with possibly one dominant color that balances our
basic condition.
BIO-ENERGY
Bio-energy is the basis of all biological manifestations. It is also called prana, ki or chi, od, orgone, ether, bio-plasma or simply life-
force. Our main intake of this life energy is through the chakra system, breathing, food, sunshine and energy transfer from other
people. In the air it is commonly called prana or orgone, while within our body we usually refer to it as bio-energy, for the Chinese it is
also the chi that circulates in the acupuncture meridians.
Bio-energy generally appears as a bluish-gray haze; its movement is slow and wavelike; it can be accumulated and conducted by
organic material and water, and it can be separated into two opposites with a bluish and a red-yellow color.
Our physical body is permeated with bio-energy: part of this energy circulates through the acupuncture meridians while the surplus
radiates out, forming an etheric ﬁeld, or the inner aura, and protecting us from harmful environmental radiation or microbes. Within
the body, the bio-energy forms a blueprint that guides the growth and maintenance of all body structure. It is the 'glue' that holds the
cells together, and it is also the 'energy of organization'. Clairvoyant psychics see that in deep sleep our bio-energy body our etheric
body tends to ﬂoat in a horizontal position over the physical body in order to become recharged with etheric energy.
Acupuncture-points are like transformers or inﬂow points of bio-energy from the meridians into the tissue structure. If this ﬂow along a
meridian and into the muscles is blocked, a limb becomes lifeless and paralyzed, even if the blood circulation and nerve impulses are
intact. We can direct and modify this stream of bio-energy with our mind in order to heal ourselves. Generally, we may increase our
inner reservoir of bio-energy by living in an area with a high environmental potential of bio-energy. We can ﬁnd this where there is
plenty of sunshine, abundant vegetation, especially trees, and an elevated position - ideally a tree-clad hilltop or mountain plateau in
the subtropics. The air is low in bio-energy on rainy days and at night.
Life-Fields
In 1973 researchers at the University of Los Angeles succeeded in replic ating a Russian experiment in which the cut off part of a leaf
was still faintly visible with Kirlian (high-frequency) photography. This may be regarded as the ﬁrst visible scientiﬁc proof of the
existence of an aura around living objects. Before that Professor Harold  Saxton Burr had measured the electric ﬁelds around living
things and shown that these 'L-ﬁeld s' (short for 'Life-Fields) pre-exist and guide the development of the related entity. He wrote the
book Fields of Life (Ballantine).

Bio-Energy in Healing
I believe very much in prana, bio-energy or life-energy as a major factor in healing despite the denial of its existence by orthodox
medicine. Chances of recovery are greatly


 and other workshops making the various parts, cutting
them out on their skill saws. He had to hire someone else to collect all of
these individual items and assemble them. Next thing you know he was in
the dollhouse business, selling them as fast as he could make them.
This man turned out the best-lo oking dollhouses ever seen. They were
adorable, irresistible, quaint, and charming, and children absolutely loved
them. That’ s where he was coming from when he said, “I want to bring joy
to the hearts of children.” That’ s a universal principle with which hardly
anybody can argue: to bring joy to the hearts of children. One of the tests of
the universal principle is whether it appeals to the heart. If our product or
service appeals only to the head, it will have a limited success. This isn’t to
say that it won’ t make money— it may be quite profitable—but the great
successes in the world are those things that change people’ s lives.
Step 3: Find out if what we want to do is actually needed by anyone.
Is it truly a service to the world? The reason this step is important isbecause we want to make sure that what we’re going to throw ourselves
into is not just a pet project or personal preference. Raspberry  vinaigrette
salad dressing may be someone’ s idea of “haute cuisine,” but that opinion is
not likely going to be shared by many in the populace who may come in to
the restaurant once or twice out of curiosity. We will notice that, as a
consequence, such a business may become primarily tourist oriented and
not appeal to locals because the demand is limited. It doesn’ t serve any
particular need, other than the idea of being cutesy, unique, or dif ferent.
Step 4: Check out all the sensory modes and cover  the ones that are
foreign to our own personality by consulting with people who are
experts in that area. What do I mean by this? The research of neuro-
linguistic programming (NLP) has demonstrated that people process their
experiences of life primarily through one sensory mode or another: Some
people are primarily auditory. Some are visual. Some are feeling  people. Of
course smell and tactile senses are also important.
I knew of a restaurant in town that was very, very pretty. The woman who
ran it was obviously a visual person and had done a stunning  job. When
people looked at it, they saw that it was gorgeous. She also did a great job
on the food and the price. But the acoustics were abominable. People could
hardly hear themselves think. The music was horrible. It was too loud,
inappropriate in style, and without a single break. Evidently, it’s what she
liked; however, it turned every one else off from the place. People went
there for the good part and put up with the downside. But who needs the
downside?
If we’re the opposite, if we are people who don’t care so much about how
the thing looks as long as it feels right, we better call in some people who
are primarily visual and ask how it looks to them. We can tell how people
process informa tion by their language. People who say, “I see what you
mean. Do you see what I’m saying? How does this look to you? Let’s run it
up the flagpole and salute it,” are probably visual processors. People who
say, “That doesn’ t feel too good to me. That doesn’ t feel right,” are
obviously feeling people. Audi tory people will say, “That doesn’ t sound
right to me.” We get cues; being aware of them will make the processing
style apparent to us.
We need to make sure that the areas that are not our forte are covered. It
doesn’ t take long—half an hour or an hour at the most with someone who isan expert in the field is enough to convey the idea. I watched one restaurant
grow from failure to success primarily by changing the music in the
background from  loud funky country to soft baroque. The soft baroque
brought in high-paying custome rs and a classy crowd. The other music had
kept customers away, even though the place had mesquite-broiled steaks.
People want to relax at dinne r. They want to have tablecloths, cloth
napkins, approp riate music, and the right lighting. Bright fluore scent lights
and primary colors may be great for a breakfast diner, but they will kill
dinner business. I wonder why that’s not obvious to people. What lady’ s
makeup looks good in glaring fluorescent light? Although the fast-food
chains would seem to belie it, people really want dignity in their lives. They
will reward us and appreciate us for supplying it or providing the means of
achieving it.
Presentation is very important to a lot of people. It may not be to us;
however, for many people it makes all the difference. Again, going back to
the restaurant business as an example, the most successful restaurant in
town for dinner used a large plate. They put on lots and lots of vegetables,
lots of potatoes, and lots of garnish. For the same price as a similar
restaurant in town, it looked like you were getting a huge amount of food
and likely more than you could eat. The other restaurant used the same size
plates as they did at lunch. There was a tiny sprig of parsley, a slice of
radish, and a begrudging little slice of tomato. When you’d look at what
was practically the same dinner, you’d doubt that there was going to be
enough there to satisfy your appetite. As a consequence, one restaurant
seemed overpric ed and the other  seemed underpriced. I’m sure that the cost
to the successful restaurant was only a few cents.
Whatever we present, we must make sure that it’s presented in the best
possible style with regard to all the sensory modalities, and that it pleases as
many of them as we possibly can. It’s worth the extra trouble.  Aside from
the aforementioned sensory modalities, a high percentage of the populace
rank comfort very high on their lists. When we go to the neare st Walmart,
one of the most successful enterprises in America, we’ll notice not only that
it is a success because it pushes good quality at a low price, availability, and
convenience, but the restrooms are available near the entrance. There is a
greeter by the door who smiles at customers and asks if she can be of any
help. There is a place to sit down, order a snack at a table, and rest one’s
weary feet.I have walked out of countless stores for the simple reason that they did
not have a chair  where I could sit down. Many people think things over and
make up their minds only when they’re sitting down.
In a men’ s store, for instance, the man will shop around, look at various
suits, and compare prices in his mind. If you were to watch him in the store,
you might wond er, What is he looking for here? He’s looking for a place to
sit down and think it over. He has to decide. If there isn’t a place for him to
sit down, the sales clerk cannot close the sale. The customer ’s unable to
reach a conclusi on under the surroundings in that store. Add to that some
hard rock music in the backgro und to throw his brain out of balance, and
the result is that he stammers out to the clerk, “I’ll think about it. I’ll be
back later.” And he leaves the store.
In depar tment stores where we see endless couples, it’s obviou s that the
price of the purchase is going to come from the main breadwinner of the
family. Despite today’ s world of higher female employment, this may still
be the man’ s earnings. While the woman of the house is shopping for
housewares or clothes for the kids, what is there left for the man to do other
than checking out the tool coun ter? There’ s no place to just plain sit down
in a corner, read a magazine, or go to the restroom.
He starts  jerking at her arm, “Come on, Lorraine, let’s go.” She tells her
friends, “Oh, Geor ge is so impatient.” Geor ge is not impatient. His varicose
veins are bothering him. His feet hurt. He’s got a problem with his knees.
He’s got to go to the bathroom. He needs a cup of coffee. He wants a
chance to think about it. He wants a place to get away from all the music
and confusion. He’s told there’ s no place to sit. There’ s no place to have a
cup of coffee, and the men’ s room is always on the sixth floor in the rear
next to tapestries. The men who control big bucks are typically middle-aged
men. Taking the elevator or five escalators up to the sixth floor when they
already have prostate trouble is sure to chase them out of the store in a
hurry.
The fact that some businesses survive despite the fact that they violate all
the rules doesn’ t prove anything at all—people go there becaus e they have
to go there. Customers hate being forced into boredom and discomfort, and
they resent the lack of convenience. How important is the restroom? Plenty.

as	reported	that	the

disease	developed	about	10	days	after	vaccination	and	in	each	case	vaccinia	was

indicated	in	the	brain	upon	postmortem.

In	1926	two	prominent	English	Professors	of	Pathology,	Doctors	Turnbull	and

McIntosh	reported	a	number	of	cases	of	encephalitis	lethargica	(sleeping

sickness—a	form	of	polio)	following	vaccination.	This	led	to	the	appointment	of

two—commissions	of	the	British	Ministry	of	Health,	to	investigate	the	situation.

Their	reports	published	in	1928	revealed	that	there	had	been	231	cases	and	91

deaths	from	this	cause	(post	vaccinal	encephalitis)	in	England	and	Wales.

According	to	a	report	in	the	Hobart	(Tasmania)	"Mercury,"	(April	111950),

"Combined	injections	for	diphtheria	and	whooping	cough	may	cause	severe

cases	of	infantile	paralysis."	It	stated	that	a	St.	Pancras,	London	medical	officer

found	40	cases	and	that	a	British	Health	Ministry	doctor	reported	65	cases	where

paralysis	occurred	two	weeks	after	vaccine	injections,	and	in	49	of	these,	the

paralysis	was	confined	to	the	limb	in	which	the	injection	had	been	given.	Two	of

the	cases	followed	the	injection	of	penicillin.	Dr.	J.	K.	Marlin,	from	the	Guy

Hospital	reported	80	cases	where	children	developed	infantile	paralysis	soon

after	having	been	vaccinated.	"Mercury"	stated	that	"the	doctors	realizing	the

danger	of	their	findings	to	the	government’s	diphtheria	immunization	campaign,

withheld	publications	until	some	of	the	cases	could	be	followed	up	over	a	period

of	many	months.	Some	of	the	children	recovered	after	a	year	or	more.	Others	are

still	paralyzed	.”

After	the	many	months	of	observation	of	these	disasters	of	vaccination	the

London	County	Council	finally	banned	the	use	of	the	combined	diphtheria	and

whooping	cough	injections	in	the	clinics	during	the	months	when	infantile

paralysis	was	most	prevalent.
	Isn’t	it	appalling	that	the	governments	and	the	serum	promoters	see	and	know

that	vaccination	causes	paralysis	yet	they	curtail	it	only	during	the	months	when

polio	is	most	prevalent.	They	still	insist	on	having	the	revenue	from	the	deadly

practice	the	rest	of	the	time	regardless	of	the	consequences.	If	they	would	care	to

observe	the	"polio	season"	they	would	see	that	it	is	only	at	the	times	when	it	is

created	by	the	doctors	with	their	poisoned	needles	and	the	people	with	their

excessive	eating	of	sugar	products	and	other	devitalizing	and	semi-poisoned

foods.

Dr.	L.	C.	Appel	writes:

"The	fact	that	vaccination	is	either	the	(a)	adding	of	a	disease	to	a	body	already

weighted	with	disease,	or	else,	(b)	the	giving	of	a	disease	to	a	perfectly	healthy

body,	is	the	medical	reason	why	some	of	us	(medical	doctors)	oppose

vaccination	and	urge	its	abolition.	A	perfectly	healthy	body	is	proof	against

natural	disease;	a	diseased	or	unhealthy	body	is	handicapped	by	being	given

another	(inoculated)	disease.	A	diseased	or	unhealthy	body	can	never	be

rendered	healthy	by	inoculation	or	vaccination."

Dr.	Harry	R.	Baybee	said:

"My	honest	opinion	is	that	vaccination	is	the	cause	of	more	disease	and	suffering

than	anything	I	could	name."

Dr.	F.	H.	Haines	voiced	his	views	on	vaccination	as	follows:

"It	is	impossible	to	say	what	remote	after	effects	may	be	caused	by	the

introduction	of	alien	substances	into	the	bloodstream.	Many	nervous	and	other

disorders	of	unknown	origin	are	too	often	met	with.	Products	which	alter

metabolism,	change	the	nature	of	fundamental	secretions,	cause	profound

change	in	the	fluids	of	the	body,	allergy	and	anaphylaxis,	are	the	negation	of

nature’s	own	methods,	and	must	be	viewed	with	grave	misgivings	and	cautious

suspicion."	("The	Truth	About	Vaccination,"	by	Lily	Loat)
In	an	article	in	Archives	of	Disease	in	Childhood,	(March,	1950)	Dr.	3.	K.

Martin,	of	England,	gives	details	of	"17	cases	of	poliomyelitis	which	followed

28	days	or	less	after	inoculation."	Analysis	of	the	cases	showed	that	8	of	them

had	been	inoculated	with	A.P.T.	Two	had	other	injections	against	diphtheria,	2

had	penicillin	injections,	5	had	combined	diphtheria	and	whooping	cough

inoculations	and	1	had	whooping	cough	inoculations	alone.
Not	long	after	these	cases	had	been	published	it	encouraged	other	doctors	to

bring	their	findings	out	in	the	open	and	several	other	medical	journals	in

Australia	and	England	published	articles	which	reported	numerous	cases	of

paralysis	following	vaccination.	Two	investigators,	Dr.	McCloskey,	in	Australia

and	Dr.	Geffen	in	London	both	observed	that	"the	point	that	struck	them	was	that

the	paralysis	started	in	the	limb	in	which	the	injection	had	been	made."

(Details	of	these	findings	are	reported	in	the	Lancet	(London)	for	April	8,	1950

and	The	Medical	Officer,	for	April	8,	1950.)

Two	British	statisticians	were	asked	to	investigate	whether	or	not	there	appeared

to	have	been	any	"Appreciable	risk	of	poliomyelitis	following	within	a	month	of

inoculation	during	the	1948	outbreak	of	polio."	The	investigators,	Dr.	A.

Bradford	Hill	and	Dr.	I.	Knowelden,	of	the	London	School	of	Hygiene	and

Tropical	Medicine,	reported:

"The	statistics	collected	in	this	inquiry	reveal	clearly	an	association	between

recent	injections	and	paralysis...We	must	conclude	that	in	the	1949	epidemic	of

poliomyelitis	in	this	country,	cases	of	paralysis	were	occurring	which	were

associated	with	inoculation	procedures	carried	out	within	the	month	preceding

the	record	date	of	onset	of	the	illness."	(Reported	in	the	British	Medical	Journal,

July	1,	1950)

Although	the	British	government,	under	the	pressure	of	Socialism	has	been

forced	to	make	many	concessions	in	favor	of	the	common	people	such	as

abolishing	compulsory	vaccination,	making	investigations	that	revealed	the

fallacy	of	many	medical	practices	etc.	Mr.	Bevin,	speaking	in	behalf	of	the

medical	fraternity	in	the	House	of	Commons	on	November	24,	1947	still	tried	to

protect	the	medical	rackets	when	he	stated:

"As	I	am	advised,	there	are	no	medical	grounds	for	attributing	to	vaccination	or

diphtheria	immunization	any	connection	with	polio"	(infantile	paralysis).

The	investigations	of	the	Ministry	of	Health	were	not	in	agreement	with	this

stand	as	is	seen	in	its	statement	that	"in	the	last	few	years	there	is	evidence	that

A	report	in	the	Lancet	(April	8,	1950)	stated	that


 like an air raid drill, but when the stress
goes on and on it results in cessation of growth and the breakdown of the
community.
Another illustration of the influence of stress on a population is the
story of the 9/1 1 tragedy. Up to the moment the terrorists attacked, the
country was in a state of growth. Then immediately after 9/1 1, as the
shock of the news spread to reach not just the people of New Y ork but
the entire nation, we experienced a threat to our survival. The impact of
government proclamations stressing the continued presence of danger in
the wake of the attack was like the influence of the adrenal signals. They
shifted the members of the community from a state of growth to a state
of protection. After a few days of this heart-stopping fear, the country’ s
economic vitality was so compromised that the president had to
intervene. T o stimulate growth, the president repeatedly emphasized,
“America is open for business.” It took awhile for the fears to subside
and for the economy to rebound. However, the residual threats of
terrorism are still debilitating the vitality of our country. As a nation we
should look more carefully at how our fear of future acts of terrorism is
undermining our quality of life. In some sense, the terrorists have already
won since they have succeeded in frightening us into a chronic, soul-
sapping protective mode.
I’d also like to suggest that you examine how your fears and the
ensuing protection behaviors impact your life. What fears are stunting
your growth? Where did these fears come from? Are they necessary?
Are they real? Are they contributing to a full life? W e’ll deal more with
these fears and where we got them in the next chapter on conscious
parenting. If we can control our fears, we can regain control over ourlives. President Franklin D. Roosevelt knew the destructive nature of
fear. He chose his words carefully when he told the nation in the grips of
the Great Depression and looming W orld W ar: “W e have nothing to fear,
but fear  itself.” Letting go of our fears is the first step toward creating a
fuller, more satisfying life.C H A P T E R  7

N o doubt you’ve heard the seductive ar gument that once parents bestow
their genes on their children, they take a back seat in their children’ s
lives—parents need only refrain from abusing their children, feed and
clothe them, and then wait to see where their preprogrammed genes lead
them. This notion allows parents to continue with their “pre-kids
lives”—they can simply drop their children of f at daycare and with
babysitters. It’ s an appealing idea for busy and/or lazy parents.
It’ s also appealing for parents like me, who have biological children
with radically dif ferent personalities. I used to think that my daughters
are dif ferent because they inherited dif ferent sets of genes from the
moment of conception—a random selection process in which their
mother and I had no part. After all, I thought, they grew up in the same
environment (nurture), so the reason for their dif ferences had to be
genetic (nature).
The reality, I know now, is very dif ferent. Frontier science is
confirming what mothers and enlightened fathers have known forever,
that parents do  matter, despite best-selling books that try to convince
them otherwise. T o quote Dr. Thomas V erny, a pioneer in the field of
prenatal and perinatal psychiatry: “Findings in the peer -reviewed
literature over the course of decades establish, beyond any doubt,  that
parents have overwhelming influence on the mental and physical
attributes of the children they raise.” (V erny and Kelly 1981)
And that influence starts, says V erny, not after children are born, but
BEFORE children are born. When V erny first posited the notion that the
influence of parents extends even to the womb in his landmark, 1981
book, The Secr et Life of the Unborn Child,  the scientific evidence waspreliminary and the “experts” skeptical. Because scientists used to think
that the human brain did not become functional until after birth, it was
assumed that fetuses and infants had no memory and felt no pain. After
all, noted Freud, who coined the termed “infantile amnesia,” most people
do not remember anything that happened to them before they were three
or four years old.
However, experimental psychologists and neuroscientists are
demolishing the myth that infants cannot remember—or for that matter
learn—and along with it the notion that parents are simply spectators in
the unfolding of their children’ s lives. The fetal and infant nervous
system has vast sensory and learning capabilities and a kind of memory
that neuroscientists call implicit memory. Another pioneer in pre- and
perinatal psychology, David Chamberlain writes in his book The Mind of
Y our Newborn Baby:  “The truth is, much of what we have traditionally
believed about babies is false. They are not simple beings but complex
and ageless—small creatures with unexpectedly lar ge thoughts.”
(Chamberlain 1998)
These complex, small creatures have a pre-birth life in the womb that
profoundly influences their long-term health and behavior. “The quality
of life in the womb, our temporary home before we were born, programs
our susceptibility to coronary artery disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity,
and a multitude of other conditions in later life,” writes Dr. Peter W.
Nathanielsz in Life in the W omb: The Origin of Health and Disease.
(Nathanielsz 1999) Recently, an even wider range of adult-related
chronic disorders, including osteoporosis, mood disorders, and
psychoses, have been intimately linked to pre- and perinatal
developmental influences. (Gluckman and Hanson 2004)
Recognizing the role the prenatal environment plays in creating
disease forces a reconsideration of genetic determinism. Nathanielsz
writes: “There is mounting evidence that programming of lifetime health
by the conditions in the womb is equally, if not more important, than our
genes in determining how we perform mentally and physically during
life. Gene myopia  is the term that best describes the current all-pervasive
view that our health and destiny throughout life are controlled by our
genes alone. In contrast to the relative fatalism of gene myopia,
understanding the mechanisms that underlie programming by the qualityof life in the womb, we can improve the start in life for our children and
their children.”
The programming “mechanisms” Nathanielsz refers to are the
epigenetic mechanisms, discussed earlier, by which environmental
stimuli regulate gene activity. As Nathanielsz states, parents can improve
the prenatal environment. In so doing they act as genetic engineers for
their children. The idea that parents can transmit hereditary changes from
their life to their children is, of course, a Lamarckian concept that
conflicts with Darwinism. Nathanielsz is one of the scientists now brave
enough to invoke the “L” word for Lamarck: “the transgenerational
passage of characteristics by nongenetic means does occur. Lamarck was
right, although trans-generational transmission of acquired
characteristics occurs by mechanisms that were unknown in his day.”
The responsiveness of individuals to the environmental conditions
perceived by their mothers before birth allows them to optimize their
genetic and physiologic development as they adapt to the environmental
forecast. The same life-enhancing epigenetic plasticity of human
development can go awry and lead to an array of chronic diseases in
older age if an individual experiences adverse nutritional and
environmental circumstances during fetal and neonatal periods of
development. (Bateson, et al, 2004)
The same epigenetic influences also continue after the child is born
because parents continue to influence their child’ s environment. In
particular, fascinating new research is emphasizing the importance of
good parenting in the development of the brain. “For the growing brain
of a young child, the social world supplies the most important
experiences influencing the expression of genes, which determines how
neurons connect to one another in creating the neuronal pathways which
give rise to mental activity,” writes Dr. Daniel J. Siegel in The
Developing Mind.  (Siegel 1999) In other words, infants need a nurturing
environment to activate the genes that develop healthy brains. Parents,
the latest science reveals, continue to act as genetic engineers even after
the birth of their child.

S u b c o n s c i o u s  M i n dI’d like to tell you about how I—who put myself in the category of
those who were not  prepared to have children—came to question my
ingrained assumptions about parenting. Y ou won’ t be surprised to hear
that I started my reevaluation in the Caribbean, the place where my shift

drowned in it. With each breath I could hear the air bubbling up through the mucus. Not surprisingly, he was of indigenous (Maori)
descent.
The Medical Hygiene Hypothesis
Modern medicine has invented the hygiene hypothesis to explain the greatly increased incidence of infections, allergies and
autoimmune diseases in contemporary society. This says that the reaso n for this dramatic increase is our rather sterile way of living,
with children being no longer expos ed to the full range of environmental microbes so that they can build up an immunity to them in
early life. While there is some truth to this, the main reason is more likely to be iatrogenic - caused by the medical system.
When the intestinal ﬂora of a baby or its mother has been damaged by antibiotics or by being raised on pasteurized milk, then the
immune system is so compromised that exposure to a lot of different pathogenic microbes will only make the condition worse.
Therefore, the massive amounts of antibiotics used over the decades in the treatment of the common cold and related respiratory10/30/24, 11:06 AM Health-Science-Spirit - Instant Cure of the Common Cold
https://health-science-spirit.com/Healing_the_Body/Instant-Cure-of-the-Common-Cold.html 3/5infections will be a key reason for the present steep rise in allergies and autoimmune diseases. This goes hand in hand with the
medical promotion of pasteurized cow’ s milk, and especially of high-lactose skim milk products, as desirable food.
In contrast, the success of the sugar cure in protecting us from the common cold and possibly inﬂuenza and respiratory infections
shows an important principle of natural medicine: if we remove the cellular metabolic waste on which infectious microbes thrive, then
they cannot take hold in a body and cause an infection. Alternatively we may say infections are nature's attempt to heal the body by
using microbes to reduce its cellular waste piles.
How much Lactose is Safe to Use?
Most of the world's adult population - with the exception of the Caucasian race - cannot split lactose into its two components - glucose
and galactose. Commonly after the age of three, production of the lactose-splitting enzyme lactase declines, and this can cause
indigestion and diarrhea if the diet contains appreciable amounts of lactose. This condition is known as lactose intolerance. However
smaller spaced-out amounts may still be tolerated as intestinal bacteria may split or digest some of the ingested lactose.
Lactose intolerant people can tolerate lactose better if fermented milk is used, as in the form of yogurt or keﬁr, where the lactose is
partially split by lactic-acid bacteria. Alternatively, a lactose-splitting enzyme or lactase is now commercially available and may be
added to milk. However, lactose intolerance is only a minor problem compared to the much more serious health problems caused by
galactose. Lactose intolerance actually appears to be a wise precaution of nature rather than a regrettable accident, because it helps
to protect us from the great danger of galactose overload as most Caucasian adults and older children who can digest lactose are
unable to use galactose efﬁciently or dispose of it safely.
In societies that traditionally used milk products, individuals were protected from galactose overload by a series of defences.
Commonly lactose content was reduced by fermenting, and making cheese and quark and butter while discarding most of the whey.
These individuals had an intestinal ﬂora that converted much of the ingested galactose into energy. They had strong liver enzymes to
convert any absorbed galactose into glucose. Finally, on a traditional diet they would have had sufﬁcient antioxidants to minimize the
formation of mucic acid, and instead would just discharge any surplus galactose with the urine.
Most of these protective defences are greatly reduced or no longer available in modern society. Therefore, preventing excessive
mucus accumulation in the body is much easier than trying to remove it afterwards. It is a sensible precaution to reduce your intake of
lactose to an amount that does not cause mucus congestion or related problems. See Table 1 for the lactose content of some
common dairy products.
TABLE 1: LACT OSE CONTENT OF DAIR Y PRODUCTS
butter 0.5%
cheese, quark, cottage cheese 0.1 - 4%
goat's milk 4.3%
cow's milk 4.9%
yogurt and ice-cream (with skim-milk powder) 5 - 25%
skim-milk powder 52%
whey powder 70%
With a lactose content of 52 per cent in skim-milk powder, you may now realize how dangerous is the current fad of using low-fat ice-
cream, yogurt, cottage cheese and so forth, instead of full-fat products. Such low-fat foods are made from skim-milk powder and may
contain three to ﬁve times as much lactose as the equivalent full-fat foods. Skim-milk powder is also commonly added to a wide
variety of processed foods, such as bread and other baking products, sausages and margarine. Therefore read the label and avoid
foods that list 'non-fat milk solids' as one of the ingredients.
I estimate that the average daily amount of lactose that healthy Caucasian adults with good liver functions can handle without the
danger of long-term galactose overload is less than 10 grams, or the equivalent of a glass of milk. The liver will be able to convert a
larger amount of galactose into glucose if lactose is ingested in several spaced-out amounts rather than in one single lot. However,
those who are prone to mucus problems or who are afﬂicted with a galactose-related disease do well to have a much lower or near
zero lactose intake.
The traditional way of reducing the lactose content of milk products is by fermenting with lactic acid bacteria. This converts part of the
lactose to lactic acid. The increasing acidity now precipitates most of the protein, mainly casein, which forms into curd on top and
clear watery whey underneath the curd. The whey contains most of the remaining lactose together with some dissolved whey protein
and the growth factor IGF-1. IGF-1 is implicated as a promoter of tumour growth, and especially of hormone-sensitive tumours (e.g.
breast, ovary, uterus, prostate).
If the curd is well drained and preferably pressed down, then it contains very little lactose and IGF-1, as in cheese and fermented
cottage cheese, generally called quark. However in Anglo-Saxon countries commercial cottage cheese is not fermented and often
made from skim milk, and therefore  with a higher lactose content. However there is no problem in using skim milk or skim milk
powder when making properly fermented quark. Even commercial yogurt may be made "safe" by fermenting it at home in a yogurt-
maker until curd and whey separate, and then use only the pressed curd or quark.
While animal milk is the highest food source of galactose, there are also some other somewhat surprising sources as can be seen in
Table 2. These may perhaps explain the incidence of colds in societies that are not normally using milk products, although western-
style processed food containing lactose now seems to be worldwide.10/30/24, 11:06 AM Health-Science-Spirit - Instant Cure of the Common Cold

Honey 3000 mg/100 g
Celery 850 mg/100 g
Beets/Beetroot 800 mg/100 g
Grapes 400 mg/100 g
There is also the possibility that other factors may predispose us to catching a cold by providing a suitable breeding ground for the
rhinovirus. A possible candidate is the combination of over-acid tissue and lymph ﬂuid with sensitivity to fungi or moulds. This should
be addressed if we want to improve our health. Nevertheless, I am conﬁdent that for most individuals in western societies the key to
the prevention of the common cold and related diseases is by avoiding mucic acid formation through the tight control of lactose
ingestion. -
