 with water preservation mechanisms, a simultaneous and associa ted salt-
preservation program becomes established. Not losing salt to mucus se cretion becomes a part of the program. The
body needs to be assured that both water and salt are available before bronchial constriction relaxes and mucus
becomes loose enough to be secreted. In children with fibrocystic lungs, this relationship of salt and water for
normal lung developmen t and functions, as well as mucus secretion, should be kept in mind. This is why Mrs. Preston's and Dr. Rivera's asthma got better. This is why asthma is not a "dise ase" th at gets
"cured. "It is a physio logical adaptation of the body to dehydration and salt shortage. It will recur anytime sufficient
attention is not paid to regular water and salt intake. A pinch of salt on the tongue after drinking water fools the brain
into thinking a lot of sal t has arrived in the body. It is then that the brain begins to relax the bronchioles. Alco hol and
caffeine contribute to severe asthma attacks. People with asthma should slightly increase their salt intake. LIFESTYL E MEDICAL CENTER

Dear Dr. Batmanghelidj:
May 2 4,1995
Reference: Jeramy Chris topher
I am writing to thank you for your kind assista nce in treating Jeremy's allergies. As y ou know, Je remy is my eight
year-old son who suffered for the last 3-4 years with severe allergy symptoms related to allergic rhinitis and asthma. More Recently he has had significant coryza and coughing which is associated with his asthma. On about the 28th
of April 1995, we began a program of rehydration involving his drinking two cups of water before food or exercise
and excluding all other fluids. In addition, he consumes a half teaspoon of salt which is added to his food to offset
the increased water intake. Within 3-4 days he showed  dramatic improvement; he no longer had severe and excessive mucus p roduction, his
coughing had virtually stopped, and his sneezing and other allergy symptoms were totally gone. Therefore we
discontinued his Be nadryl and Albuterol and continued his hydration program.Jeremy has been following this program now for approximately four and a half weeks, spending almost four weeks
off his medication and is doing quite well. Not only have his symptoms cleared subjectively, but in terms of objective
findings, his peak flow volumes have been within normal range. His constant medication-induced drowsiness h as
disappeared and as a result he is more alert, and his scho ol grades have improved. Therefore I want to emphasize  how effective this treatment has been for Jeremy and I wish you well in sharing this
cost effective and very efficacious program with others. Once again Dr. Batmanghelidj, I thank you for advising me on the new treatment program of Jeremy's allergies and
asthma. Very truly yours. Cheryl Br own-Christopher, M.D. 1419 Forest Drive • Suite #202. Annapolis • Maryland 21403 * (410) 268-5005
As you  read in Dr. Christopher's letter to me, her son was on two different medications for his asthma. The air
capacity of his lungs, even with medications, was 60 percent of normal. In one month of water and salt treatment,
his lung capacity went to 120 percent of normal, with no medication. Aaron Warner is 10 years old and was p ut on five different medications to treat his asthma. In his mother's words to
me: "The schedule my son  would need to keep to maintain his medications is not very realistic for a 10-year-old,
and after two days on medications he was fee ling worse and his head hurt, throat hurt, mouth hurt and he was tired,
drowsy, grouchy a nd became sun-sensitive." Jer emy a nd Aaron are now off medications, and their parents are
elated. The information that water and salt cure asthma was aired on June 5,1995, by Paul Harvey Ne ws for the first
time. This good news is now becoming known more and more. We may be able to end in less than five years the scourge
of medical ignorance about chronic dehydration that permits so many millions of innocent children to suffer
unnecessarily to the point of a few thousand of them dying of asthma. What these children need  to realize is the fact
that for them, breathing has become difficult because they are so thirsty. Multiply the impact of increased water intake in the prevention and cure of asthma attacks, a s seen in Jeremy's and
Aaron's case, to the other 12 million asthmatic ch ildren, and you can suddenly see the possibility of saving them all
from "suffocation and death from d ehydration,"
Only with your active help, and if we can get the media to lend a hand in educating the public about the role of water
in prevention of asthma, can we save these innocent children who are caught in the grips of ignorance and
commercialism in medicine. SOM E METABOLI C ASPECT S OF STRESS AND DEHY DRA TION
"I firmly believe that if the entire materia medico as now used could be sunk to the bottom of the sea, it would be all

INSUL IN-INDEPENDENT  DIABET ES
Basically, there are two types of diabetes. For the treatment of one, insulin is needed because the pancreas no
longer manufactures insulin. This type is called insulin-depe ndent diabetes. For the treatment of the ot her, som e
chemicals are needed that can gradually release insulin from the pancreas so the diabetic can control the clinical
symptoms. This type  is cal led insulin-indep enden t diabetes; the pancreas still has the ability to manufacture insulin. Insulin-independent diabetes, established in the elderly and which can be regulated by the intake of "tablet" forms of
medication, is most probably the end result of brain water-deficiency, to the point that its neurotransmitter systems—
particularly the serotonergic system—is being affected. The physiology of the brain is designed in such a way that it
automatically begins to peg-up the glucose threshold so that it can maintain its own volume and its own energy
requirements. The brain needs glucose for its energy value and its metabolic conversion to water. The prevalent
consensus of opinion is that the bulk of energy requirement in the brain is provided by sugar alone. My personal
view is t hat this is only the case if there is wat er and salt shortage in the body. Water and salt are absolutely
essential for the generation of hydroelectric energy, particularly for neurotransmission mechanisms. The reason and the mechanism for altering blood sugar levels is quite simple. When histamine becomes active in
water regulation and energy management, it also activates a group of substances known as prostaglandins (PCs). PCs a re involved in a subordinate system for rationed distribution of water to the cells in the body. The pancreas—a very complex gland located between the stomach and the duodenum—other than being the seat
of insulin manufacture is engaged in the production of copious quantities of a bicarbonate-containing watery
solution. This bicarbonate solution is emptied into the duodenum to neutralize acid coming from the stomach. This
is how th e acid from the stomach is neutralized. It happens that while the stimulating agent, PG o f the E type, may
be involved in shunting circulation to the pancreas so that the watery bicarbonate solution can be made, at the same
time it naturally inhibits the secretion of insulin from the pancreas. It acts like a very tightly operated servo-
mechanism. The more one system has to be served, the more the other system will be decommissioned. Why? Simply, insulin promotes movement of potassiu m and sugar into the cells of the body. It also promotes entry
of some amino acids into cells. Accompanying the passage of sugar, potassiu m, and amino acids, water will also
pass into the cell that has been stimulated by insulin. Such action will automatically reduce the available water thatis more easily accessib le from outside the cells. In a dehydrated state, the action of insulin would be
counterproductive. The logic employed in the design of the body has therefore installed the two actions of water
distribution to the pancreas and the needed inhibition of insulin action in the same agent—prostaglandin E. In this
way, a nd at the expense of severe deprivation of some cells, water is made available for the act of food digestion
and acid neutralization in the intestines. As it happens, when insulin secretion is inhibited, except for the brain, the metabolism of the body is se verely
disrupted. In a dehydrated state, the brain benefits from insulin inhibition. The brain cell itself is not dependent on
insulin for its functions W hile cells in most other parts of the body are totally dependent on the properties of insulin
for their normal function. If we think about it, there is a natural logic to the ultimate production of insulin-independent
diabetes in severe chronic dehydration. Why is it called insulin-independent diabetes? Because the body can still
manufacture insulin, although it takes the influence of some chemical agents to promote its secretion. This phenomenon of insulin inhibition with dehydration shows that the primary function of the pancreatic gland is
directed at the provision of

 Cited	in	Normal	Breathing:	the	key	to	vital	health,	“breathing	too	much
makes	the	human	brain	abnormally	excited	due	to	reduced	CO
2
concentrations. As	a	result,	the	brain	gets	literally	out	of	control	due	to
appearance	of	spontaneous	and	asynchronous	(‘self-generated’)	thoughts. ”
Balestrino	and	Somjen	(1988)	in	their	summary	directly	claimed	that,	“The
brain,	by	regulating	breathing,	controls	its	own	excitability. ”(7)

Dr	Robert	Fried,	professor	of	psychology,	states	that	“the	first	stage	of
chronic	graded	hypoxia	(insufficient	oxygen),	which	has	repeatedly	been
shown	in	the	case	of	chronic	hyperventilation,	is	depression	of	mood	and
activity. ”(8)

Cardiologist	Claude	Lum	comments	that	“Hyperventilation	presents	a
collection	of	bizarre	and	often	apparently	unrelated	symptoms,	which	may
affect	any	part	of	the	body,	and	any	organ	or	any	system. ”(9)	He	further	labels
hyperventilation	syndrome	as	the	fat	file	syndrome,	noting	that	patients	go
from	doctor	to	doctor	in	an	attempt	to	get	help	for	their	symptoms. However,
because	chronic	hyperventilation	is	overlooked	in	most	instances,	the	patient
might	be	told	after	a	series	of	tests	that	there	is	nothing	wrong	with	him	or
her,	thus	increasing	the	size	of	the	patients’	file	and	further	adding	to	his	or
her	anxiety. In	the	late	Professor	Buteyko’s	words,	“Exhaling	Carbon	Dioxide	from	the
organism	brings	about	spasms	in	bronchi,	vessels	and	intestines,	etc. This
reduces	oxygen	supply,	leading	to	oxygen	deficiency,	making	one’s	breath
heavier,	thus	completing	the	vicious	circle. ”What	is	the	fat	file	syndrome. Louise’s	personal	account:

“For	example,	because	I	am	prone	to	worry	and	overthink	things,	I	get
myself	worked	up	into	a	right	state	about	my	symptoms. At	different	times,
I	was	convinced	that	I	had	a	brain	tumor,	MS,	a	heart	problem,	bowel
cancer,	etc. I	had	blood	test	after	blood	test,	an	ECG	test,	a	scan,	and
nothing	was	found	to	be	wrong. My	whole	family	and	my	doctor,	and
probably	most	of	my	friends,	think	I’m	a	hypochondriac. but	I	knew	that
something	was	not	right. I	just	didn’t	make	the	connection	to	my	breathing,
so	my	symptoms	went	on	and	on	and	I	felt	like	I	was	going	mad. For	lots	of
people,	reading	your	book	will	be	a	real	epiphany. and	they	might	need
some	reassurance	early	on	that	they’re	not	alone	and	not	mad	after	all,	and
that	a	lot	of	their	symptoms	will	go	away. Not	worrying	about	the
symptoms	immediately	reduces	stress	levels	and	hence	breathing. ”
	Stress,	anxiety	and	anger	causes	overbreathing
A
ccording	to	the	famous	physiologist	Walter	Cannon,	stress	activates	the
fight	or	flight	response. Meeting	deadlines,	financial	pressures,	time	urgency,
marital	issues,	the	pressure	of	rearing	children	and	wanting	to	do	well	in	our
work,	as	well	as	many	other	factors,	add	to	stress	levels. Stress	ensures	survival	of	the	species
S
tress	is	a	natural	reaction	that	we	have	developed	throughout	our	evolution
to	ensure	the	survival	of	our	species. Invariably,	stress	is	our	body	undergoing
chemical	change	in	response	to	environmental	conditions. Thousands	of	years
ago,	our	main	threat	was	from	wild	animals. When	confronted,	we	had	two	options	to	deal	with	it. The	first	was	that	we
fought	the	animal. The	second	was	that	we	ran	away	from	it	as	fast	as	we
could. As	our	bodies	were	required	to	perform	intense	physical	activity,	our
physiology	changed	in	the	following	ways:
Our	breathing	volume	increases;
Our	heart	rate	increases;
Adrenaline	is	pumped	into	our	system;
Our	pupils	dilate;
Blood	is	diverted	from	our	internal	organs	to	our	arms	and	legs;
Diarrhoea	may	occur	(lightens	our	weight	before	flight);
Our	blood	coagulates	in	case	of	injury. However,	today	our	society	and	environment	have	changed	at	a	far	greater
pace	than	what	our	bodies	can	adjust	to. We	respond	to	the	stresses	of	today
with	the	same	reaction	as	we	had	thousands	of	years	ago. We	are	in	a	traffic
jam	rushing	to	get	to	a	meeting. The	fight	or	flight	response	is	activated	but
there	is	no	need	for	it. Our	heart	rate	increases,	blood	is	diverted	to	our
skeletal	muscles,	our	breathing	increases—we	are	primed	for	physical	activity
yet	we	are	sitting	still. The	result	is	that	we	are	running	on	the	inside	and
sitting	on	the	outside. The	heavy	breathing	arising	from	the	fight	or	flight	response	results	in	a
washing	out	of	carbon	dioxide	from	the	lungs. This	causes	a	narrowing	of
blood	vessels,	thus	reducing	blood	flow	to	the	brain. In	addition,	the	release
of	oxygen	from	blood	cells	is	less;	the	resultof	an	inhibited	Bohr	Effect. This	in	turn	increases	self-generated,	and	more
random,	thoughts. With	uncontrolled	thought	activity,	we	feel	unable	to	cope
with	our	everyday	activities,	further	increasing	our	stress. A	vicious	circle	has
commenced,	with	stress	increasing	our	breathing	and	this	in	turn	increasing
our	stress. How	to	correct	it

Only	by	bringing	your	breathing	volume	to	normal	levels	can	you	deal	with
the	physiological	aspects	of	stress	and	anxiety. Long-term	stress	is	exhausting	and	is	known	to	result	in	many	illnesses. It
increases	breathing	volume,	causing	carbon	dioxide	to	be	washed	from	the
lungs. Remember:	The	more	you	breathe	in,	the	more	your	breathe	out. The	more	you	breathe	out,	the	more	CO
2
	is	washed	from	the	lungs. As	CO
2
	is	washed	from	the	lungs,	the	partial	pressure	of	CO
2
	is	reduced	in	the
blood,	tissues	and	cells. Prolonged	over	breathing	resets	the	respiratory	centre	in	the	brain	to	tolerate	a
lower	partial	pressure	of	CO
2. Therefore,	even	when	the	initial	stress	is	removed,	the	heavy	breathing	habit
is	maintained	as	a	result	of	chemoreceptors	in	the	brain	being	reset. An	anxious	person	may	attend	many	psychotherapists,	counselors,
psychologists	and	psychiatrists	in	an	effort	to	get	to	the	root	of	his	or	her
condition. However,	unless	chronic	over	breathing	is	addressed,	he	or	she	will
be	at	a	significant	disadvantage	in	making	progress. Level	and	correct	breathing	volume	allows	normalization	of	the	partial
pressure	of	carbon	dioxide	within	the	lungs,	thus	improving	oxygenation	of
the	brain	and	resulting	in	far	less	brain	cell	excitability. How	many	of	the	following	symptoms	of	hyperventilation	do	you	have. Neurological:	light-headed	feeling,	poor	concentration,	memory	lapses,

The	findings	shown	in
Chart	4.3
	are	standardized	for	a	body	weight	of
sixty-five	kilograms	(143	pounds). This	is	the	standard	way	that	Chinese
authorities	record	such	information	and	it	allows	us	to	easily	compare
different	populations. (For	an	American	adult	male	of	seventy-seven
kilograms,	calorie	intake	will	be	about	2,400	calories	per	day. For	an	average
rural	Chinese	adult	male	of	seventy-seven	kilograms,	calorie	intake	will	be
about	3,000	calories	per	day.) In	every	category	seen	above,	there	are	massive	dietary	differences
between	the	Chinese	and	American	experiences:	much	higher	overall	calorie
intake,	less	fat,	less	protein,	much	less	animal	foods,	more	fiber	and	much
more	iron	are	consumed	in	China. These	dietary	differences	are	supremely
important. While	the	eating	pattern	in	China	is	far	different	from	that	of	the	United
States,	there	is	still	a	lot	of	variation	within	China. Experimental	variation
(i.e.,	a	range	of	values)	is	essential	when	we	investigate	diet	and	health
associations. Fortunately,	in	the	China	Study	considerable	variation	existed
for	most	of	the	measured	factors. There	was	exceptional	variation	in	disease
rates	(
Chart	4.2
)	and	more	than	adequate	variation	for	clinical	measurementsand	food	intakes. For	example,	blood	cholesterol	ranged—as	county	averages
—from	highest	to	lowest	almost	twofold,	blood	beta-carotene	about	ninefold,
blood	lipids	about	threefold,	fat	intake	about	sixfold	and	fiber	intake	about
fivefold. This	was
crucial,	as	we	primarily	were	concerned	with	comparing
each	county	in	China	with	every	other	county. Ours	was	the	first	large	study	that	investigated	this	particular	range	of
dietary	experience	and	its	health	consequences. In	effect,	we	are	comparing,
within	the	Chinese	range,	diets	rich	in	plant-based	foods	to	diets	very	rich	in
plant-based	foods. In	almost	all	other	studies,	all	of	which	are	Western,
scientists	are	comparing	diets	rich	in	animal-based	foods	to	diets	very	rich	in
animal-based	foods. The	difference	between	rural	Chinese	diets	and	Western
diets,	and	the	ensuing	disease	patterns,	is	enormous. It	was	this	distinction,	as
much	as	any	other,	that	made	this	study	so	important. The	media	called	the	China	Study	a	“landmark	study.”	An	article	in	the
Saturday	Evening	Post
	said	the	project	“should	shake	up	medical	and

	Some	in	the	medical	establishment	said

was	forming	about	food	and	health. Now,	I	want	to	show	you	what	we	learned	from	this	study	and	how	twenty
more	years	of	research,	thought	and	experience	have	changed	not	only	the
way	I	think	about	the	connection	between	nutrition	and	health,	but	the	way
my	family	and	I	eat	as	well.DISEASES	OF	POVERTY	AND	AFFLUENCE
It	doesn’t	take	a	scientist	to	figure	out	that	the	possibility	of	death	has	been
holding	pretty	steady	at	100%	for	quite	some	time. There’s	only	one	thing	that
we	have	to	do	in	life,	and	that	is	to	die. I	have	often	met	people	who	use	this
fact	to	justify	their	ambivalence	toward	health	information. But	I	take	a
different	view. I	have	never	pursued	health	hoping	for	immortality. Good
health	is	about	being	able	to	fully	enjoy	the	time	we	do	have. It	is	about	being
as	functional	as	possible	throughout	our	entire	lives	and	avoiding	crippling,
painful	and	lengthy	battles	with	disease. There	are	many	better	ways	to	die,
and	to	live. Because	the	China
Cancer	Atlas
	had	mortality	rates	for	more	than	four
dozen	different	kinds	of	disease,	we	had	a	rare	opportunity	to	study	the	many
ways	that	people	die. We	wondered:	do	certain	diseases	tend	to	group	together
in	certain	areas	of	the	country? For	example,	did	colon	cancer	occur	in	the
same	regions	as	diabetes? If	this	proved	to	be	the	case,	we	could	assume	that
diabetes	and	colon	cancer	(or	other	diseases	that	grouped	together)	shared
common	causes. These	causes
could	include	a	variety	of	possibilities,	ranging
from	the	geographic	and	environmental	to	the	biological. However,	because
all	diseases	are	biological	processes	(gone	awry),	we	can	assume	that
whatever	“causes”	are	observed,	they	will	eventually	operate	through
biological	events. When	these	diseases	were	cross-listed	in	a	way	that	allowed	every	disease
rate	to	be	compared	with	every	other	disease	rate,
9
	two	groups	of	diseases
emerged:	those	typically	found	in	more	economically	developed	areas
(diseases	of	affluence)	and	those	typically	found	in	rural	agricultural	areas
(diseases	of	poverty)

	shows	that	each	disease,	in	either	list,	tends	to	associate	with
diseases	in	its	own	list	but	not	in	the	opposite	list. A	region	in	rural	China	that
has	a	high	rate	of	pneumonia,	for	example,	will	not	have	a	high	rate	of	breast
cancer,	but	will	have	a	high	rate	of	a	parasitic	disease. The	disease	that	kills
most	Westerners,	coronary	heart	disease,	is	more	common	in	areas	where
breast	cancer	also	is	more	common. Coronary	heart	disease,	by	the	way,	is
relatively	uncommon	in	many	developing	societies	of	the	world. This	is	not
because	people	die	at	a	younger	age,	thus	avoiding	these	Western	diseases. These	comparisons	are	age-standardized	rates,	meaning	that	people	of	the
same	age	are	being	compared. Disease	associations	of	this	kind	have	been	known	for	quite	some	time. What	the	China	Study	added,	however,	was	an	unsurpassed	amount	of	data	on
death	rates	for	many	different	diseases	and	a	unique	range	of	dietary
experience. As	expected,	certain	diseases	do	cluster	together	in	the	same

ower	and	who
exercise	considerable	influence,	both	within	academia	and	government. It	seems	curious	that	while	government	scientists	are	not	allowed	to
receive	personal	compensation	from	the	private	sector,	their	colleagues	in
academia	can	receive	all	that	they	can	get. In	turn,	these	conflicted	individuals
then	run	the	show	in	collaboration	with	their	government	counterparts. However,	restricting	academics	from	receiving	corporate	consultancies	is	not
the	answer. That	would	only	drive	it	underground. Rather,	the	situation	would
be	best	handled	by	making	one’s	industry	connections	a	matter	of	public
disclosure. Everyone	needs	to	know	the	full	extent	of	each	academic’s
associations	with	the	private	sector. Disclosure	and	full	transparency	is	in
everyone’s
interest. These	associations	should	not	be	something	we	have	to
go	to	court	to	discover.SETTING	US	BACK	FOR	YEARS
Lest	you	think	that	this	Food	and	Nutrition	Board	report	is	merely	a	five-
second	news	bite	that	then	gets	filed	into	a	dusty	old	cabinet	somewhere	in
Washington,	let	me	assure	you	that	tens	of	millions	of	people	are	directly
affected	by	this	panel’s	findings. According	to	the	summary	of	the	report
itself,
13
	the	recommended	levels	of	nutrient	consumption	that	are	set	by	this
panel	are
the	basis	for	nutrition	labeling	of	foods,	for	the	Food	Guide	Pyramid
and	for	other	nutrition	education	programs	…	[They	are]	used	to
determine	the	types	and	amounts	of	food:
provided	in	the	WIC	(Women,	Infants	and	Children)
Supplemental	Feeding	Program	and	the	Child	Nutrition	Programs
such	as	School	Lunch,
served	in	hospitals	and	nursing	homes	for	Medicare
reimbursement,
found	in	the	food	supply	that	should	be	fortified	with	specific
nutrients,
used	in	a	host	of	other	important	federal	and	state	programs	and
activities	[such	as	establishing	reference	values	used	in	food
labeling]
13
The	School	Lunch	Program	feeds	28	million	children	every	day. With
officially	recommended	consumption	patterns	like	these,	we	are	at	liberty	to
put	any	agricultural	commodity	we	want	into	the	hungry	mouths	of	children
already	suffering	from	unprecedented	levels	of	obesity	and	diabetes. By	the
way,	the	2002	FNB	report	does	make	one	special	exception	for	children:	it
says	that	they	can	consume	up	to	40%	of	calories	as	fat,	up	from	35%	for	the
rest	of	us,	while	minimizing	the	risk	of	chronic	disease. The	Women,	Infants
and	Children	Program	affects	the	diets	of	another	7	million	Americans,	and
the	Medicare	hospital	programs	feed	millions	of	people	every	year. It	is	safe
to	say	that	the	food	provided	by	these	government	programs	directly	feeds	at
least	35	million	Americans	a	month. For	people	who	are	not	directly	fed	by	the	government,	this	nutrient
information	still	has	significant	consequences. From	September	2002
onwards,	nutrition	education	programs	around	the	country
have	incorporated
these	new	guidelines. This	includes	education	in	primary	schools,
universities,	health	professional	programs	and	other	community-basedprograms. Food	labels	also	will	be	affected	by	these	changes,	as	will	the
nutrition	information	that	seeps	into	our	lives	via	advertising. Almost	all	of	the	wide-ranging	effects	of	this	2002	FNB	report	will	be
profoundly	harmful. In	school,	our	children	can	be	fed	more	fat,	more	meat,
more	milk,	more	animal	protein	and	more	sugar. They	will	also	learn	that	this
food	is	consistent	with	good	health. The	ramifications	of	this	are	serious,	as	a
whole	generation	will	walk	the	path	of	obesity,	diabetes	and	other	chronic
illnesses,	all	the	while	believing	that	they	are	doing	the	right	thing. Meanwhile,	our	government	and	its	academic	hacks	can	feel	free	to	unload
more	meat,	more	fat,	more	animal	protein	and	more	sugar	onto	the	neediest
among	us	(e.g.,	the	Women,	Infants	and	Children	(WIC)	participants). I
consider	this	to	be	an	irresponsible	and	callous	disregard	for	American
citizens. Of	course,	these	women	and	infants	are	not	in	a	position	to	pay	for
research,	donate	to	politicians,	give	academics	special	favors	or	fund
government	panels! For	others	concerned	about	nutrition,	every	time	they	see
a	dietitian,	every	time	they	see	their	doctor,	every	time	they	see	a	nutritionist
and	every	time	they	go	to	a	community	health	center,	they	may	be	told	that	a
diet	high	in	fat,	animal	protein,	meat	and	dairy	is	consistent	with	good	health,
and	they	needn’t	worry	about	eating	too	many	sweets. Posters	that	deck	the
bulletin	boards	of	public	institutions	will	now	feature	these	new	government
guidelines	as	well. In	short,	this	2002	FNB	report,	which	represents	the	most	sweeping,
regressive	nutrition	policy	statement	I	have	ever	seen,	will	either	indirectly	or
directly	promote	sickness	among	Americans	for	many	years	to	come. Having
been	a	member	of	several	diet	and	health	policy-making	expert	panels	over	a
twenty-year	period	I	harbored	the	view	that	these	panels	were	dedicated	to	the
promotion	of	consumer	health. I	no	longer	believe	this	to	be	true.UNFUNDED	NUTRITION
Not	only	is	the	government	failing	to	promote	health	through	its
recommendations	and	reports,	it	is	squandering	an	opportunity	to	promote
public	health	through	scientific	research. The	U.S.	National	Institutes	of
Health	(NIH)	is	responsible	for	funding	at	least	80–90%	of	all	biomedical	and
nutrition-related	research	that	is	published	in	the	scientific
literature. To
address	various	health	topics,	the	NIH	is	comprised	of	twenty-seven	separate
institutes	and	centers,	including	its	two	largest,	the	National	Cancer	Institute
(NCI)	and	the	National	Heart,	Lung	and	Blood	Institute. 14
	With	a	proposed
2005	budget	of	almost	$29	billion,
13
	the	NIH	is	the	center	of	the
government’s	gigantic	medical	research	efforts. In	terms	of	nutrition	research,	however,	something	is	amiss. None	of	these
twenty-seven	institutes	and	centers	at	the	NIH	is	devoted	to	nutrition,	despite
the	pivotal	nature	of	nutrition	in	health,	and	despite	the	public	interest	in	the
subject. One	of	the	arguments	against	having	a	separate	institute	for	nutrition
is	that	the	existing	institutes	already	concern	themselves	with	nutrition. But
this	does	not	happen. Chart	16.3
	shows	the	funding	priorities	for	various
health	topics	at	the	NIH. 16
Of	the	$28	billion	NIH	budget	proposed	for	2004,	only	about	3.6%	is
designated	for	projects	that	are	related	in	some	way	to	nutrition
17
	and	24%	for
projects	that	are	related	to	prevention. That	may	not	sound	too	bad. But	these
figures	are	seriously	misleading. Most	of	the	prevention	and	nutrition	budgets	have	absolutely	nothing	to	do
with	prevention	and	nutrition,	as	I	have	written	in	this	book. We	won’t	be
hearing	about	exciting	research	on	dietary	patterns,	nor	will


 legumes,
grains, seeds, tree saps, flowers, herbs, fungi, honey, milk,
cheese, eggs, and meat. The diet must be omnivorous or lacto-vegetarian, and it may be derived from both the land
and sea. Domestic foods will form the basis for the diet under
present conditions. Edible wild plants are not essential, but
they do represent accessory foods which can add significantly
to the pleasure and nutritive value of the diet. In terms of total composition, the uncooked diet is thus easy to select, simple
to balance, and available to everyone living under modern
conditions of food production and distribution. 9
RAW FOOD IN PREPARATION
AND USE
THE PREPARATION of raw food is the most important part of
the culinary art. In the usual cookbook, information on this
subject is restricted almost entirely to the preparation of
salads, and even here many cooked ingredients and irritating condiments often enter the recipes. For those undertaking the
maximum possible use of raw foods, much more knowledge
is required. Salads comprise only a limited part of the total
intake of food in the uncooked dietary. If we are to achieve
maximum benefit from our meals, all other methods of raw food preparation must also be considered. With adequate knowledge covering every phase of this subject, uncooked foods may be prepared easily and quickly. The meals will be
tasty, appetizing, and completely satisfying to the most sensitive palate. B
ASIC METHODS
   The first step in the preparation of raw plant foods is
thorough washing. This does not mean that vegetables should be soaked in water, for soaking causes some nutrients to pass
into the water, which is then discarded. Green leaves should
be washed quickly but thoroughly. Fruits and leaves which
have been sprayed with insecticides require special attention,
and should be given a more prolonged cleaning, even though this will not remove all spray residue. Root vegetables should
be well scrubbed, but the peelings should not be removed
unless they are tough or bitter or too rough to permit
satisfactory cleaning. After cleansing, the methods of raw food preparation may
involve chopping, grating, grinding, pulverizing, mixing,
liquefying, blending, churning, juicing, and freezing. These may be accomplished by hand or by machine methods. This
means that in the kitchen the cookstove will be supplemented
or replaced by appliances designed specifically for the preparation of raw foods. The chopping board, salad bowl,
ice cream freezer, fruit juicer, food grinder, food grater, food
shredder, and chopping knife will be employed as needed. These can be supplemented or largely replaced by the electric
juicer, electric blender, electric shredder, electric mixer, and electric freezer for those who prefer the time-saving and
work-saving efficiency of modern technical appliances. The electric vegetable juicer is one of the most useful
appliances for the kitchen. A number of different types of
such juicers have been manufactured and are readily available
in kitchen-appliance shops. The electric juicer enables you to
make many delicious juices, not only from vegetables, but
also from such fruits as melons, peaches, pears, apples, and
berries. The juices can be made in just a few minutes and
taken in their pure form or mixed in various combinations as
may be considered more palatable. The pulp resulting from the juicing process may be discarded or it may be used in
making additions to salads. Juices are also available on a commercial scale, and some
firms maintain a special delivery service to bring the juices
right to the housekeeper's doorstep. While this represents a
definite convenience to some, and is indeed an absolute
necessity for a few, it does not represent the ideal method of obtaining juices. Much of the flavor and most of the enzymes
in juices are lost within 30 minutes after they are made, and
the very peak of palatability and nutritive value is obtained if
the juices are consumed immediately after being extracted. There is no method of delaying this flavor-destroying oxidation, so we must be prepared to accept some loss in
palatability in all commercial fruit and vegetable juices which
have been prepared long before consumption. Whenever
possible, juices should be extracted immediately to individual order, whether in the sanitarium, the restaurant, or the home. Of all implements for use in preparing raw foods, none is of
more all-around value than the electric blender, or liquefier-blender, as it is also called. This machine consists of a small
electric motor in an enclosed  base and a covered quart
container on the base. Four or more blades in the container make thousands of revolutions per minute and instantly cut
all food into fine pieces, mix it with a liquid base, and blend
all ingredients together into a smooth, delicious preparation. Actually the machine may replace many other common
kitchen implements. It will chop, grate, and grind as well as
mix, liquefy, blend, and churn. With the electric blender you can make the most delicious
salad dressings, sauces, puddings, nut milks, and beverages of
all kinds entirely from raw ingredients. All that is needed in
most cases is a liquid base with such solid ingredients as may
be chosen. Such foods as bananas, avocados, and other soft
fruits will semi-liquefy into a smooth consistency with no other base than the fruit itself. Salad dressin
gs are perfectl y emulsified in the blender, and sauces and puddings may be
made with the same ingredients as the beverages except that
the proportion of liquid in relation to solids is reduced in
quantity. Apples, cranberries, and some other fruits are converted instantly into the most delicious sauces. A
combination of fruit juice and nuts or nut butter is quickly
converted into a rich, smooth cream or milk-like drink. A
mixture of fruit juice and crushed ice is turned into the finest
sherbet or frappe. Vegetables are ground up with a liquid base into a semi-liquid salad. Any food may be converted into a
puree suitable for infant feeding or for anyone who cannot
easily chew solid food due to dental defects. All of these
things, and indeed more, may be accomplished with the
electric blender. For the person preparing raw foods in a varied manner, this machine is truly indispensable in saving
time and work. It may be accepted that practically all methods of food
preparation which involve a significant change in the physical
state of foods may permit oxidation and thus induce loss of
nutritive factors. Such losses, however, are relatively small
and do not render the food unsuitable for moderate use. Fruit
juices and vegetable juices, as well as various foods prepared
in the electric blender, appear in practice to retain their basic
vital effects upon the human system, and some have been
used with very remarkable success on a therapeutic basis. Consequently they are all quite valuable in any diet and may form an integral part of the uncooked regime. It may be
pointed out, however, that they should not be used to the
exclusion of unchanged foods except under special conditions for a limited period of time. The teeth and gums need
exercise from chewing hard, crisp foods, and these should be
included liberally in the normal dietary regime. The
preparation of raw foods, as with the grinder, juicer, blender,
or other appliances, may be considered useful and practical as a means of improving the variety, palatability, and enjoyment
of the diet, but it should be used within normal limitations such as common sense will dictate. H
OW TO SPROUT GRAINS AND LEGUMES
   As sprouted grains and legum es are useful additions to the
uncooked diet, methods for their preparation and use become
important. Mung bean, soy bean, and alfalfa sprouts are
occasionally developed and marketed, but others must at present usually be made in the home. To sprout any seed, it
need only be kept moist and warm. Within a few days the
sprouting process is well developed. A common commercial
method is to soak the seeds in te
pid water for 24 hours and then place them in an incubator held at about 120 degrees F. for 48 hours or longer. In the home, seeds can be sprouted by
soaking them overnight and placing them in a sterilized
colander or any other sterilized container that has holes for drainage. They are then flooded with lukewarm water three to
six times each day. An ordinary flowerpot may be converted
into a sprouter simply by screening the hole at the bottom. The screen keeps the seeds in the pot and permits all water to
run out, thus assuring good drainage. You can also put your seeds in an ordinary glass casserole. After they are flooded
with water, simply place cover on casserole, and tip so as to
permit water to run from the outlet. Another popular method
for the home is the fruit jar method. The seeds are placed in
the jar, and a piece of cheesecloth is fastened on the top and held in place with a rubber band. If an open screw top is
available, this may simply be turned on the jar, over the
cheesecloth, thus replacing the rubber band. Or for a still
more practical sprouter, a permanent screen may be fastened
over the open screw top. After the seeds are soaked overnight in the jar, simply invert the jar to remove the water. You can
then pour additional water through the cheesecloth three or
more times each day, and remove


 order to easily insert the colema tip into the rectum. Slide bod y down
until the buttocks touch the wooden e dges of the support. Open clamp to allow the solution to flow into the colon. You do not have to remove the rectal tip in order to evacuate. The f ecal
matter will bypass the tip, allowing normal bowel action. The colema board encourages normal peristalsis without producing
bowel distension. Begin abdomen massage. Start massaging upward on your left side. If you find any tender or sore areas,
continue to massage until the tenderness is gone. Continue up to the ribs on the left, then across the abdomen and do wn the right
side. This brings the solution to the ascending colon. When cramping or the desire to evacuate occurs, close off the water cl amp
(in-flow) and simply relieve the bowel. The small, pencil -like tip will allow free elimination without being remov ed. Continue this procedure until you have eliminated the bulk of fecal mass or until you have exhausted the water contents in th e
bucket. This will normally take about 30 minutes. Be sure to clamp off tube before all the water is used, iin order to mainta in the
siphon action in the hose. Upon completion of the colema, clean the board and tubes with a germicidal solution. When removing the tip for cleaning, be s ure
to replace the piece of 1/4 -inch rubber tubing that holds the tip on the adjustable holder of  the rectal tube. It is suggested that the
tip be immersed in a germicidal solution and stored until the next colema. SIPHONING THE HOSE
To start the water flow in the hose you must siphon it. This is accomplished by putting the end that goes in the bucket  under the
faucet. Run water through it, past the u -tu be, then hold it up in the air so the water can run down the long part of the hose. Once it
has run down, close the clamp, then start it in the same way you did before and your siphon will be working. The idea is that when
water is pulled down the long part of the hose it will naturally draw the water up the hose from the bucket and around the u -tube. To keep the siphon flow, always clamp off the hose before the bucket has run dry. This way you will ret ain your suction without
having to re -siphon. If the bucket does run dry, you must repeat the starting| procedure. Another way to drain the bucket is to
attach a small plastic fitting into a hole at the base of the bucket. Attach the neoprene hose to this fitting and the other end to the
colema board. ADDITIONS TO THE COLEMA WATER SOLUTION
There are a few additives I might mention to use in the colema water. First of all, you can add a pint of coffee. Coffee help s bring
down bile from the liver and stimula tes the bowel wall to throw out the toxic material faster. You can also add clay water, which I
believe has a great effect on the mucus membrane, loosening it and releasing it faster. Of course, this procedure is repeated
two times a day for the seven -day period. After the week, the Maintenance Program is followed for seven weeks. It is
recommended that you follow this with another cleansing program. I feel this is the Ultimate Cleansing Program, a process whi ch
completely and thoroughly removes the toxic m aterial from the bowel. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
The Ultimate Tissue Cleansing System is very good at overcoming pain. Pain of all kinds from any part of the body, such as in
arthritis, headaches, etc. In overcoming serious degenerative disease, it is re commended that the treatment be ongoing and
constantly applied for possibly one year and perhaps longer. It should be understood that this treatment cannot be considered  a
“cure all,” but rather is an important step for leading the body to detoxification a nd cleansing. Treatment must be given according
to the patient’s responsiveness - watch for reactions closely. Three days may be all a patient can endure to begin with, especially with the elderly and very weak. One day may be all that can be safely admini stered if the patient drops in energy level severely. Please remember that reactions
can set in quickly and must be attended to at once. This is the most powerful detoxifying program I know of. Approach it with respect. We are unleashing potent healing pow ers that
may be overwhelming to the uninitiated. COLEMA PREPARATION
Morning Colema
Add 1 pint of coffee and 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar to a little less than 5 gallons of water. (To prepare coffee, allo w 2
tablespoons of coffee to 1 pint of water; b ring to a rolling boil; let stand 15 minutes before using. You may want to make a 2 -day
supply of coffee each time). Massage abdomen in rolling motion or use vibrator on colon, working from left side up to transverse colon, across abdomen lef t to
right, do wn ascending colon the right side. Evening Colema
Add 1/2 to 1 cup of clay water to 5 gallons of water. Repeat massage or use vibrator. DO NOT MIX COFFEE AND CLAY
WATER BECAUSE THEY COUNTERACT ONE ANOTHER. If you think you may have worms, you can substitu te garlic enemas for the clay water on the third and fourth days of the program. (Even if you do not have worms, this is a good bowel cleanser). To prepare, place four unpeeled garlic cloves (clean) in a bl ender
with one cup of water; liquefy, strain liqui d and add to the colema water; take the colema as usual. Molasses colemas are also
good; add 2 tablespoons molasses to the colema water. No other ingredient is added. During the 7 -day program, you may wish to have massages, foot reflexology or epsom salt baths; all are good. Optional After Colemas
You may use rectal implants. All implants are placed in a baby enema syringe and squeezed into the rectum. For colitis or
bleeding, use 1 cup of flaxseed tea and 2 tablespoons of liquid chlorophyll or use 3 to 5  crushed Green Life tablets, and insert as
much liquid as can beheld. To assist elimination, add 1 heaping tablespoon of Green Life powder, 1/3 cup clay water and add
distilled water to thin the mixture enough to let it flow freely through the syringe. After the 7 -day program, drink acidophilus culture for one month. Use 1 cup morning and night; this should follow each 7 -day
program. (Recommended: Continental, Kovac brands or Eugalan Topfer Forte). Get specific instructions from your doctor with regard to f uture supplements. It is advised to go through the 7 -day program again after 7 weeks. CONCLUDING THE TISSUE CLEANSING TREATMENT
In order to reintroduce the bowel to regular meals, it is suggested that the following program be implemented. This mini diet  will
prepare the digestive organs for normal functioning and make the transition from the cleansing treatment to regular meals ver y
smooth. MAINTENANCE PROGRAM AND ONGOING REJUVENATION SCHEDULE
FIRST DAY: Breakfast: Shredded carrots, slightly wilted. Dinner : Large salad; one steamed vegetable. SECOND DAY: Breakfast: Fresh fruit or dried fruit, revived; cereal
or soft -boiled egg. Lunch: Large salad; yogurt or cottage cheese or nut milk drink. Dinner: Large salad; one steamed vegetable: a protein. Eat lightly,  slowly and chew well. Teas and juices are allowed
between meals, as desired. THIRD DAY: Start regular diet
MAINTENANCE PROGRAM AND ONGOING REJUVENATION SCHEDULE
This maintenance program is designed to be followed after the 7 -Day Cleansing Pro -gram. You wi ll stay on this maintenance program for seven (7) weeks, then go back on the 7 -
Day Cleansing Program, then back again on the maintenance program, which you will now
continue for six to eight months. ഊ84

fillment of your desire. You are the judge of what event you really want to
realize. There is another technique I gave you last night. If you cannot concen -
trate on an act, if you cannot snuggle into your chair and believe the chair
is elsewhere, just as though elsewhere were here, then do this: Reduce
the idea, condense it to a single, simple phrase like, “Isn't it wonderful,”
or, “Thank you,” or, “It's done,” or, “It's finished. ”
There should not be more than three words. Something that implies the
desire is already realized. “Isn't it wonderful,” or “Thank you,” certainly
imply that. These are not all the phrases you could use. Make up out of
your own vocabulary the phrase which best suits you. But make it very,
very short and always use a phrase that implies fulfillment of the idea. When you have your phrase in mind, lift the cloud. Let the cloud ascend
by simply inducing the state that borders on sleep. Simply begin to imag -
ine and feel you are sleepy, and in this state assume the feeling of the
wish fulfilled. Then repeat the phrase over and over like a lullaby. Whatev -
er the phrase is, let it imply that the assumption is true, that it is con -
crete, that it is already a fact and you know it. Just relax and enter into the feeling of actually being what you want to
be. As you do it you are entering Jericho with your spy who has the power
to give it. You are releasing Barabbas and sentencing Jesus to be crucified
and resurrected. All these stories you are reenacting if now you begin to
let go and enter into the feeling of actually being what you want to be. Now we can go. SILENCE PERIOD. *****
If your hands are dry, and if your mouth is dry at the end of this medita -
tion, that is positive proof that you did succeed in lifting the cloud. What
you were doing when the cloud was lifted is entirely your business. But
you did lift the cloud if your hands are dry. I will give you another phenomena that is very strange and one I cannot
analyze. It happens if you really go into the deep. You will find on waking
that you have the most active pair of kidneys in the world. I have dis -
cussed it with doctors and they cannot explain it. Another thing you may observe in meditation is a lovely liquid blue light. The nearest thing on earth to which I can compare it is burning alcohol. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenYou know when you put alcohol on the plum pudding at Christmas time
and set it aflame, the lovely liquid blue flame that envelops the pudding
until you blow it out. That flame is the nearest thing to the blue light
which comes on the forehead of a man in meditation. Do not be distressed. You will know it when you see it. It is like two
shades of blue, a darker and a lighter blue in constant motion, just like
burning alcohol, which is unlike the constant flame of a gas jet. This flame
is alive, just as spirit would be alive. Another thing that may come to you as it did to me. You will see spots be -
fore your eyes. They are not liver spots as some people will tell you who
know nothing about it. These are little things that float in space like a
mesh, little circles all tied together. They start with a single cell and come
in groups in different geometrical patterns, like worms, like trailers, and
they float all over your face. When you close your eyes you still see them,
proving that they are not from without, they are from within. When you begin to expand in consciousness all these things come. They
may be your blood stream objectified by some strange trick of man that
man does not quite understand. I am not denying that it is your blood
steam made visible, but do not be distressed by thinking it is liver spots
or some other silly thing that people will tell you. If these various phenomena come to you, do not think you are doing
something wrong. It is the normal, natural expansion that comes to all
men who take themselves in tow and try to develop the garden of Geth -
semane. The minute you begin to discipline your mind by observing your thoughts
and watching your thoughts throughout the day, you become the police -
man of your thoughts. Refuse to enter into conversations that are unlove -
ly, refuse to listen attentively to anything that tears you down. Begin to build within your own mind's eye the vision of the perfect virgin
rather than the vision of the foolish virgin. Listen only to the things that
bring joy when you hear them. Do not give a willing ear to that which is
unlovely, which when you heard it you wish you had not. That is listening
and seeing things without oil in your lamp, or joy in your mind. There are two kinds of virgins in the Bible: five foolish and five wise vir -
gins. The minute you become the wise virgin, or try to make an attempt
to do it, you will find all these things happen. You will see these things,
and they interest you so that you have not time to develop the foolish
sight, as many people do. I hope that no one here does. Because no one
should be identified with this great work who can still find great joy in a
discussion of another that is unlovely. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenLesson III: Thinking Fourth-Dimensionally
There are two actual outlooks on the world possessed by every man, and
the ancient story tellers were fully conscious of these two outlooks. They
called one “the carnal mind,” and the other “the mind of Christ. ”
We recognize these two centers of thought in the statement: “The natural
man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness
unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually dis -
cerned. ” (1 Cor 2:14). To the natural mind, reality is confined to the instant called now; this very
moment seems to contain the whole of reality, everything else is unreal. The the natural mind, the past and the future are purely imaginary. In
other words my past, when I use the natural mind, is only a memory im -
age of things that were. And to the limited focus of the carnal or natural
mind the future does not exist. The natural mind does not believe that it
could revisit the past and see it as something that is present, something
that is objective and concrete to itself, neither does it believe that the fu -
ture exists. To the Christ mind, the spiritual mind, which in our language we will call
the fourth-dimensional focus, the past, the present, and the future of the
natural mind are a present whole. It takes in the entire array of sensory
impressions that man has encountered, is encountering and will en -
counter. The only reason you and I are functioning as we are today, and are not
aware of the greater outlook, is simply because we are creatures of habit,
and habit renders us totally blind to what otherwise we should see; but
habit is not law. It acts as though it were the most compelling force in the
world, yet it is not law. We can create a new approach to life. If you and I would spend a few
minutes every day in withdrawing our attention from the region of sensa -
tion and concentrating it on an invisible state and remain faithful to this
contemplation, feeling and sensing the reality of an invisible state, we
would in time become aware of this greater world, this dimensionally larg -
er world. The state contemplated is now a concrete reality, displaced in
time. Tonight as we turn to our Bible you be the judge as to where you stand in
your present unfoldment. *****
Our first story for tonight is from the 5th chapter of the Gospel of Mark. In
More Free Books Law of Attraction Haventhis chapter there are three stories told as though they were separate ex -
periences of the dominant characters. In the first story we are told that Jesus came upon an insane man, a
naked man who lived in the cemetery and hid himself behind the tombs. This man appealed to Jesus not to cast out the devils that bedeviled him. But Jesus said unto him, “Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. ”
(Mark 5:8). Thus Jesus cast out the devils that they may now destroy themselves,
and we find this man, for the first time, clothed and in his right mind and
seated at the feet of the Master. We will get the psychological sense of
this chapter by changing the name Jesus to that of enlightened reason or
fourth-dimensional thinking. As we progress in this chapter we are told that Jesus now comes upon the
High Priest whose name is Jairus, and Jairus the High Priest of the Syna -
gogue has a child who is dying. She is 12 years old, and he appeals to Je -
sus to come and heal the child.


 days?" I replied,
"No, and thank goodness I didn't know, so that thought was not
in my head! I just knew I could do it, and that I could do it fast." (Sometimes less information is better!) Dr. Johnson eliminated an "incurable" disease from his own body,
so the restoration of my eyesight seemed like nothing to me, com-
pared with his own miracle story. In fact, I expected my eyesight
to come back overnight, so three days was no miracle in my mind. Remember, time and size do not exist in the Universe. It is as easy
to heal a pimple as a disease. The process is identical; the difference
is in our minds. So if you have attracted some affliction to you,
reduce it in your mind to the size of a pimple, let go of all negative
thoughts, and then focus on the perfection of health. I believe and know that nothing is incurable. At some point in time,
every so-called incurable disease has been cured. In my mind, and
in the world I create, "incurable" does not exist. There is plenty of
room for you in this world, so come join me and all who are here. It is the world where "miracles" are everyday occurrences. It is a
world overflowing with total abundance, where all good things
exist now, within you. Sounds like heaven, doesn't it? It is. DR. JOHN DEMARTINI

You can change your life and you can heal yourself. MORRIS GOODMAN
AUTHORAND INTERNATIONAL SPEAKER
My story begins on March 10,1981. This day
really changed my whole life. It was a day I'll
never forget. I crashed an airplane. I ended up
in the hospital completely paralyzed. My spinal cord
was crushed, I broke the first and second cervical vertebrae,
my swallowing reflex was destroyed, I couldn't eat or drink,
my diaphragm was destroyed, I couldn't breathe. All I could
do was blink my eyes. The doctors, of course, said I'd be a
vegetable the rest of my life. All I'd be able to do is blink my
eyes. That's the picture they saw of me, but it didn't matter
what they thought. The main thing was what I thought. I
pictured myself being a normal person again, walking out of
that hospital. The only thing I had to work with in the hospital was my
mind, and once you have your mind, you can put things back
together again. I was hooked to a respirator and they said I'd never breathe
on my own again because my diaphragm was destroyed. But a little voice kept saying to me, "Breathe deeply, breathe
deeply." And finally I was weaned from it. They were at a
loss for an explanation. I could not afford to allow anything The Secret to Health 137
to come into my mind that would distract me from my goal or
from my vision. I had set a goal to walk out of the hospital on Christmas. And I did. I walked out of the hospital on my own twofeet. They said it couldn't be done. That's a day I will never
forget
For people who are sitting out there right now and are hurting, if I
wanted to sum up my life and sum up for people what they can do in
life, I would sum it up in six words: "Man becomes what he thinks
about." Morris Goodman is known as The Miracle Man. His story was
chosen for The Secret because it demonstrates the unfathomable
power and unlimited potential of the human mind. Morris knew
the power within him to bring about what he chose to think
about. Everything is possible. Morris Goodman's story has in-
spired thousands of people to think, imagine, and feel their way
back to health. He turned the greatest challenge of his life into the
greatest gift. Since the film The Secret was released, we have been inundated
with miracle stories of all types of diseases dissolving from peo-
ple's bodies after they watched The Secret. All things are possible
when you believe. On the subject of health I would like to leave you with these illu-
minating words from Dr. Ben Johnson: "We are now entering the 138 The Secret
era of energy medicine. Everything in the Universe has a frequency
and all you have to do to is change a frequency or create an op-
posite frequency. That's how easy it is to change anything in the
world, whether that's disease or emotional issues or whatever that
is. This is huge. This is the biggest thing that we have ever come
across." The placebo effect is an example of the law of attraction in action. When a patient truly believes the tablet is a cure, he receives what
he believes and is cured. "Focusing on perfect health " is something we can all do within our-
selves, despite what may be happening on the outside. Laughter attracts joy, releases negativity, and leads to miraculous
cures. Disease is held in the body by thought, by observation of the illness,
and by the attention given to the illness. If you are feeling a little
unwell, don't talk about it —unless you want more of it. If you lis-
ten to people talk about their illness, you add energy to their illness. Instead, change the conversation to good things, and give powerful
thoughts to seeing those people in health. Beliefs about aging are all in our minds, so release those thoughts
from your consciousness. Focus on health and eternal youth. Do not listen to society's messages about diseases and aging. Nega-
tive messages do not serve you. 139 LISA NICHOLS
People have a tendency to look at the things that they want
and say, "Yes, I like that, I want that." However, they look
at the things that they don't want and they give them just as
much energy, if not more, with the idea that they can stamp it
out, they can eliminate it, obliterate it. In our society, we've
become content with fighting against things. Fighting against
cancer, fighting against poverty, fighting against war, fighting
against drugs, fighting against terrorisim, fighting against
violence. We tend to fight everything we don't want, which
actually creates more of a fight. HALE DWOSKIN

Anything we focus on we do create. So if we're really

141 142 The Secret
BOB DOYLE
The reason that what you resist persists is because if you're
resisting something, you're saying, "No, I don't want this thing,
because it makes me feel this way—the way I am feeling right
now." So you're putting out a really strong emotion of, "I really
don't like this feeling," and then it comes racing toward you. Resistance to anything is like trying to change the outside pictures
after they have been transmitted. It's a futile pursuit. You have to
go within and emit a new signal with your thoughts and feelings to
create the new pictures. As you resist what has appeared, you are adding more energy and
more power to those pictures you don't like, and you are bringing
more of them at a furious rate. The event or circumstances can only
get bigger, because that is the law of the Universe. JACK CANFIELD
The anti-war movement creates more war. The anti-drug
movement has actually created more drugs. Because we're
focusing on what we don't want—drugs! or suffering, we're adding our energy to it. We're pushing
ourselves, and that only creates resistance. "What you resist persists." The Secret to the World 143
LISA NICHOLS
People believe that if we really want to eliminate something,
focus on that. How much sense does it make for us to give
the particular problem all of the energy, as opposed to
focusing on trust, love, living in abundance, education, or
peace? JACK CAN FIELD
Mother Teresa was brilliant. She said, "I will never attend an
anti-war rally. If you have a peace rally, invite me." She knew. She understood The Secret. Look what she manifested in the
world. HALE DWOSKIN
So if you're anti-war, be pro-peace instead. If you're anti-
hunger, be pro-people having more than enough to eat. If you
are anti-a-particular politician, be pro-his opponent. Often
elections are tipped in favor of the person that the people are
really against, because he's getting all the energy and all the
focus. Everything in this world began with one thought. The bigger things
get bigger because more people give their thoughts to it after it has
appeared. Then those thoughts and emotions keep that very event
in our existence, and make it bigger. If we took our minds off it and
focused instead on love, it could not exist. It would evaporate and
disappear. 144 The Secret

 tribes as
formerly. They depended upon their shields to protect them from the arrows of the other tribes. The efforts to make agriculturists of these Masai people are not promising. In a typical manyata the chief has several wives. Each one has a separate dwelling. Timber and
shrubbery are so scarce in this vicinity that the dwellings are built of clay mixed with cow dung
which is plastered over a framework of twigs. Many chiefs are over six feet in height. The Masai live in a very extensive game preserve in which hundreds of thousands of grazing
animals enjoy an existence protected from man since even the natives are not allowed to kill the
animals as formerly. They seemed to be preserved for the numerous lions which occasionally
become very bold since they have an abundance of food and no enemies. Recently the local
government authorities found it necessary to shoot off eighty of the lions in a particular district
because of their aggressiveness. In the Masai tribe, a study of 2,516 teeth in eighty-eight individuals distributed through several
widely separated manyatas showed only four individuals with caries. These had a total of ten
carious teeth, or only 0.4 per cent of the teeth attacked by tooth decay. Kikuyu Tribe, Kianzbu, Kenya. In contrast with the Masai, the Kikuyu tribe, which inhabits a
district to the west and north of the Masai, are characterized by being primarily an agricultural
people. Their chief articles of diet are sweet potatoes, corn, beans, and some bananas, millet, and
Kafir corn, a variety of Indian millet. The women use special diets during gestation and lactation. The girls in this tribe, as in several others, are placed on a special diet for six months prior to
marriage. They nurse their children for three harvests and precede each pregnancy with special
feeding. The Kikuyus are not as tall as the Masai and physically they are much less rugged. Like many of
the central African tribes, they remove some lower incisors at the time these permanent teeth erupt. This custom is reported to have been established for the purpose of feeding the individuals in case
of lock-jaw. One of the striking tribal customs is the making of large perforations in the ears in
which they carry many metal ornaments. A typical Kikuyu woman is shown in Fig. 41 (upper
right). Typical Kikuyu men are also shown in Fig. 41. Note their fine teeth and dental arches.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

many African tribes is superb. The girl at the upper right is
wearing several earrings in the lobe of each ear. The
Wakamba tribe points the teeth as shown below. This does
not cause tooth decay while they live on their native food. A study of 1,041 teeth in thirty-three individuals showed fifty-seven teeth with caries, or 5.5 per
cent. These were 36.4 per cent of the individuals affected. Much of the territory occupied by the Kikuyu tribes was formerly forest. Their practice has
been to burn down a section of forest in order to get new lands for planting. As soon as the virgin
fertility is exhausted, which is usually in three to five years, they burn down another section of
forest. By this process they have largely denuded their section of Kenya of its timber. This has
resulted in a great waste of building material. There are few stands of native forest within easy
reach of transportation. Wakamba Tribe, Kenya. The Wakamba tribe point their teeth as shown in Fig. 41. They
occupy the territory to the east of the Masai, who in past centuries have driven themselves as a
wedge between the Kikuyu and the Wakamba tribes. The Masai until checked carried on a
relentless warfare, consisting largely of raids, in which they slaughtered the men and carried off the
women and children and drove away the cattle or goats. The Wakambas are intellectually superior
to the Kikuyus and have distinct artistic skill in the carving of art objects. They are mechanical and
like machinery. Many of them have important positions in the shops of the Kenya and Uganda
railway. An examination of 1,112 teeth of thirty-seven individuals showed sixty-nine teeth with caries, or
6.2 per cent. Twenty-one and six-tenths per cent of the individuals studied had dental caries. Jalou Tribe, Kenya. This tribe occupies the territory along Lake Victoria and Kisumu Bay. They are one of the most intelligent and physically excellent native tribes. They were studied in two
groups, one at Maseno, and the other at Ogado. The group studied at the Maseno school were boys ranging from about ten years to twenty-
two, totaling about 190 in all. The principal of the school presented the boys in military formation
for inspection. Through him as interpreter I asked that all boys who had ever had toothache hold
up their hands, and nineteen did so. Of the nineteen only one individual was found to have caries;
two of his teeth were involved, which, out of 546 teeth for these individuals, gives 0.4 per cent of
the teeth with caries.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

dental caries. Jeannes School, Kenya. This school is located at Kabete. It is an institution where young
married couples are trained in domestic science, agriculture, and similar subjects. In 388 teeth of thirteen individuals, thirty-one teeth were found to have been attacked by dental
caries, or 7.9 per cent. These were in six individuals. Pumwani Mission School, Kenya. This is a native suburb of Nairobi, and there the people
have come under the influence of recent European contact. In an examination of 588 teeth of twenty-one individuals twenty-six teeth had caries, or 4.4 per
cent. C. M. S. School, Nukuru, Kenya. The children of this school belong to several tribes, chiefly
Jalou. In a study of 312 teeth of eleven individuals, only one tooth was found to have been
attacked by tooth decay, or 0.3 per cent. Chewya at Kisurnu, Kenya. The natives of this district belong to the Maragoli tribe. They are
very strong and physically well developed. They live within easy reach of Lake Victoria from
which they obtain large quantities of fish which constitutes an important part of their diet, together
with cereals and sweet potatoes. A study of 552 teeth of nineteen individuals revealed only one tooth with dental caries, or 0.2
per cent. Muhima Tribe or Anchola, Uganda. This tribe resides in southern Uganda. They, like the
Masai, are primarily a cattle raising people and live on milk, blood and meat. The district in which
they live is to the east of Lake Edward and the Mountains of the Moon. They constitute one of the
very primitive and undisturbed groups. While the Masai raise chiefly the hump-backed cattle, the
herds of this Muhima or Anchola tribe are characterized by their large wide-spread horns. Like the
Masai, they are tall and courageous. They defend their herds and their families from lions and
leopards with their primitive spears. Like the other primitive cattle people, they dominate the
adjoining tribes. In a study of 1,040 teeth of thirty-seven individuals, not a single tooth was found with dental
caries. This tribe makes their huts of grass and sticks. Watusi Tribe. This is a very interesting tribe living on the east of Lake Kivu, one of the
headwaters of the West Nile in Ruanda which is a Belgian Protectorate. They are tall and athletic. Their faces differ markedly from those of other tribes, and they boast a very noble inheritance. According to legend, a Roman military expedition penetrated into central Africa at the time of
Anthony and Cleopatra. A phalanx remained, refusing to return with the expedition. They took
wives from the native tribes and passed laws that thereafter no marriage could take place outside
their group. They have magnificent physiques. Many stand over six feet without shoes. Several of the tribes neighboring Ethiopia are agriculturists and grow corn, beans, millet, sweet
potatoes, bananas, Kafir corn, and other grains, as their chief articles of food. Physically they are
not as well built as either the tribes using dairy products liberally or those using fish from the fresh
water lakes and streams. They have been dominated because they possess less courage and
resourcefulness. The Government of Kenya has for several years sponsored an athletic contest among the
various tribes, the test being one of strength for which they use a tug-of-war. One particular tribe
has carried off the trophy repeatedly. This tribe resides on the east coast of Lake Victoria and lives
very largely on fish. The members are powerful athletes and wonderful swimmers. They are said
not to have been conquered in warfare when they could take the warfare to the water. One of their7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

 of chang
ing tempera ture, humidity, barometric pressure, sun spots and
Cosmic rays. For we thought that a comparison of these simul
taneous records would enable us to determine whether any
correlates between any of these variables existed. With the aid of a grant from the National Institute of Health,
a more elaborate experiment was devised to examine possible
interrelationships with the electrical environment, to be con
tinued over as long a period of time as possible. The experiment
included four reasonably simultaneous records of changing volt
age gradients in an Elm tree, a Maple tree, in the atmosphere
adjacent, and in the earth. Since we had many years of records of pure voltage differences
in trees, there was available a valuable baseline of information
about the changing electrical properties of a living system during
the passage of time. As a result, we knew what to expect as a
result of changing seasons, lunar cycles and diurnal rhythms. The two new records of variations in air and earth voltages could
add to this information about the trees, and could offer clues as
to the possible impact of the electrical environm ent on living
processes. The instrumentation included four high input-impedance
amplifiers, two pairs of silver-silver chloride electrodes-a pair
for each of two elms-an atmospheric voltage probe supplied by
101 ANTENNAE TO THE UNIVERS E
Meteorol ogic Research of Pasadena, California-feeding into one
of the amplifiers (checked by their own meter)-and a pair of
monel metal rods, three feet apart on a north-south axis and
leading into one of the amplifiers. The output from all four amplifiers was fed into a four
channel Leeds & Northrop recording meter. The latter prints a
dot, indicating a voltage magnitude, at appropriate intervals,
often enough to exhibit an almost continuous line. Needless to
say, such an interrupted record is not adequate for true simul
taneity of the four records, but for this study the rough approxi
mation proved sufficient. From the beginning an extraordinary correspondence in the
four records appeared. The two trees, the air and the earth ex
hibited variations at approximatel y the same time. The magni
tudes differed, but all fottr showed increases in the positivity of
the 'hot' electrode at the same time. The apparent simultaneity of two tree potentials, earth
potentials and air potentials raises an interesting question. The
short-time relationships between the onset of these changes in
all four of these records could be exceedi ngly important. None of
the equipment we had with us, however, made it possible for
us to investigate this particular aspect of the problem. Conceivably, the changes in the electrical environm ent might
precede the changes in the electrical properties in the living
systems. This would give added weight to the evidence that there
is a significant relationship between endogenous electric charac
teristics of the two trees and the corresponding changes in the
electrical aspect of the environment. These short-time measurements were, of course, stimulating
and interesting, but the really important question raised by this
whole study is: What happens in time, preferably long periods
of time. A mathema tical analysis of the diurnal rhythms made it clear
that we were not dealing with random numbers but with real
changes in the electric properties of a segment of the earth and
of the two living systems. It seemed reasonably safe, therefore, to
assume that both air and earth potentials were equally free from
random measurements. 102 ANTENNAE TO THE UNI VERSE
The fact that all four sets of measurements exhibited changes at
the same time made it quite clear that a long-time study was
j llstified. Since preliminary studies of this sort were begun in
1938, and reasonably continuous measurements made from 1943
on, quite a span of time was available for analysis. In the early
days, mathematical theory was inadequate to study the changing
relationships with time; and the modern mathematical analytical
instruments were not available. The very considerable amount of
data collected over the years represents a source of numbers
which could be analysed very profitably. 5
Inspection of the potentials recorded on the long paper records
made it clear that no one of these four sets of measurements was
independent of tl1e other three. A change in one was accompanied
by a change in aU the others. This was an extraordinary finding. Every attempt was made to
cover the possible artifacts which might have produced these
results, but rigorous controls ruled out the possibility that the
results were accidental. It must be admitted that it was exciting
to see that the well-known diurnal rhythms of a biological system
of two trees also were paralleled by diurnal rhythms in atmos
pheric potential and earth potential. To be sure, we do not know
whether one or the other of these measurements precedes any of
the others, but the fact that the changes occur in all of them is of
prime importance. Since Nature is the experime nter, changing the variables in
hoth the Jiving system and in its environment, long-term studies
should help us to understand to what extent there is an interrela
tionship between the electrical properties in the environment and
those of a living system. That they exist in day and night
rhythms, is clear. But it is also equally clear that there is a
repetitive cycle which has a period roughly approximating that
of the lunar cycle. This does not mean that the moon affects the living systems,
as the old wives' tale held, but rather that both the moon and
103 ANTENNAE TO THE UNI VERSE
Jiving systems respond to some more primary characteristics of
the Cosmos. It is not surprising, therefore, that we detected in
our records the same twenty-seven-day-cycle of earth and air, as
well as trees. Since these studies ran through many years, seasonal changes
-which we know exist in trees, for example-were also to be
seen in the winter and summer records of voltage gradients in
earth and air. These seasonal changes were so obvious that the
striking correlations between the living system and its environ
ment gave credence to the notion that the living system is im
bedded through its own electro-dynamic field in the field of its
physical environm ent. But since the field of the environment is involved in such
things as lunar cycles, it is important to remember that the
electrical properties of the ionosphere are changed by sun spot
activity, as Stetson showed many years ago. The electrical charac
teristics of the ionosphere could, then, be correlated with lunar
cycles and diurnal rhythms. A preliminary analysis, therefore, was made of the changing
potentials of the trees and sun spot activity as recorded in Zurich,
Switzerland. Here, again the correlation between the two sets of
measurements was extraordinary. A great deal of further study will be required to determine
whether or not the changing sun spot activity preceded the
change in the electrical properties of trees. The graphs drawn
from these available numbers show a rather extraordinary paral
lelism with the changing electric potentials of the tree. By implication, this could indicate that not only a tree--a
perfectly good living system-but in all probability aU living
systems, might show the 9ame dependency since they all possess
electro-dynamic �elds. There is a hint, furthermor e-although this is by no means
valid and final evidence-that the changing potentials of the
tree follow, by a predictable amount of time, the changing rela
tive sun spot numbers. As the sun spot numbers increase, voltage
gradients in the trees increase. When the relative sun spot num
bers decrease, there is a corresponding decrease in the voltage
gradients in the trees. 104 ANTENNAE TO THE UNIVE RSE
Since the plots are derived from numbers scattered over an
eleven-year cycle, and since there is good evidence to show that
these electro-metric numbers in living systems are not random
numbers but are valid evidences of changing electrical properties
of a living system, it would seem possible to conclude with reason
able assurance that there is a close relationship between the
electrical environment of the tree and the activities recorded
electrically in the trees themselves. These changes could not
possibly be the result of accidental correspondences. The num
bers recorded are too great over too long a period of time to be
chance observations. It will be remembered that the primary assumption made at the
outset of this study was that the electrical properties of a living
system were evidence of an inherent electro-dynamic field. Since
it is common knowledge that one field cannot exist within an
other field without an interaction between them, and the field
properties of the ionosphere are modified by the bursts of sun
spot activity, the effect on the electrical characteristics of the
ciwironment of the earth are really no more than might be
expected. It would seem reasonable to conclude, therefore, that a study
of longer duration with more sources of information might make
it abundantly clear that the field properties, not only of living
systems but of the Universe, interact in characteristic fashions
and produce results of great significance. 6
All this is of prime importanc e since we are now exploring
space, which also must possess field properties. This badly-neg
lected aspect of environment study should be explored inten
sively. There is no reason why future plans to put recording


 Any water that enters the body should be from filtered,
distilled, reverse osmosis should be used. one of these sources. This water should be used for cooking and drinking, and even for preparing enemas,
since a significant portion of the enema water may be absorbed and filtered through
the kidneys. Even if one has a well, it should not be assumed safe. Often toxic
amounts of copper, cadmium, and lead are picked up from the plumbing even if the
well is pure. It is best to purchase the Alkalizer™ water instrument. Remember, if one
distills water from a city supply, one must remember that certain hydrocarbon
93

contaminants have a lower boiling point than that of water. The distiller should have
a valve to permit their escape as they gasify. If not, they w ill concentrate in the
distilled water and will need to be removed by filtering through activated charcoal. 5. If a coffee enema makes a person jittery, shaky, nervous, nauseated, or light
headed, the coffee solution is too strong. The amount of coffee can be adjusted
from 1  teaspoon to 4 tablespoons per quart of water as tolerance level permits. 6. The high, retention coffee enema should consist of 1  quart of coffee, held for 15
minutes. Some people, children especially, can take and retain only a pint (2
cups) of enema solution at a time. If this is the case, one must take 2 enemas
each time, one right after the other, and hold each for 15 minutes as directed. 7. Upon rising each morning plug in the coffeepot for a few seconds to bring
coffee to body temperature; unplug and take the morning coffee enema. How To Take A Coffee Enema
A. Before the enema do some form of mild exercise if possible, such as walking
briskly. If one is extremely debilitated and weak, this step w ill of course need to
be omitted until strength returns. B. Attempt a normal bowel movement. The enema is much more effective if the
colon has been evacuated. One should not become disturbed, however, if there
are no regular bowel movements, or very few, during Metabolic Medicine's
Cancer Cure Program. In many cases, not enough bulk collects to instigate a
normal bowel movement. When no normal bowel movements are forthcoming,
the enema cleans the colon adequately. C. Bulk formers such as Metamucil™ (or other brands of Psyllium Husks obtainable
at drug or health food stores) taken as directed, or 2 tablespoons of miller's bran
with each meal (obtainable at the health food store) are quite helpful in forming
stools and thereby creating more normal bowel movements for those who take
daily enemas. D. After the normal bowel movement, if one is forthcoming, or before taking the
coffee retention enema, most people find that taking an enema with 1  quart of
warm distilled or filtered water is very helpful (do not retain this enema). This
procedure begins the cleansing of the colon, removing large particles of residue
and most of the gas. When it is completed, the coffee retention enema may be
taken. The warm water enema is optional and does not need to be taken if the
coffee enema can be retained for the desired period. 94

E. Place 1  quart of coffee in your enema bag or bucket. You may use a Fleet enema
bag, which is a disposable large volume plastic bag, an over-the-counter item
from the local pharmacy or hospital supply outlet. This enema bag lasts about 2
years. F. The enema tip on the end of the hose is not adequate to give a "high enema." Place a colon tube (Davol) size 24 French or 26 French or 28 French on the
opposite end of the plastic tube from the enema bag. This colon tube is a soft
flexible rubber-like tube around 30 inches in length. It follows the curves and
flexure of the colon. The colon tube is usually inserted about 12 to 20 inches
into the rectum. (Editor's Note: It is difficult today to find a colon tube. However,
a plastic rectal catheter or tube about 18 inches long may be ordered from your
pharmacy as an over-the-counter item.) G. Next, allow the coffee to flow to the end of the colon tube, thus eliminating any
air in the tube. H. The colon tube should be lubricated with natural creamery butter, Vitamin E
cream or other lubricant that doesn't contain additives or chemicals. I. Insert the tube 12 to 20 inches into the rectum, if possible. This should be done
slowly, in a rotating motion that helps to keep the tube from "kinking up" inside
the colon. J. The enema bag should not be over 36 inches higher than the rectum. If it is
placed too high, the coffee runs into the colon too fast and under too much
pressure, causing discomfort. K. There are several positions that can be used while inserting the colon tube. Squatting is one. There is also the knee-chest method, with chest and knees on
the floor and buttocks in the highest position possible. Most people, however,
find it easiest to lie on the left side until the solution is out of the bag or bucket. The enema should never be taken while sitting on the toilet or standing. L. Some people's colons have kinks or turns in them that may prevent the tube
from being inserted even 18 inches. Often, if a little bit of the solution is allowed
to flow into the colon as the tube is being inserted, one may comfortably get past
these kinks. M. If a kink bends the tube too much and stops the flow of liquid, then the tube can
be inserted only as far as it w ill go, still allowing the liquid to flow freely. N. Sometimes, if one hits a kink that stops the flow of the liquid completely, the
95
Winning The Cancer War
tube can be pulled out slowly just to the point where the solution is felt flowing
again. Frequently, the tube can be pushed back in, past the turn that previously
stopped the liquid. 0. Because of the shapes and formations of some people's colons or of course if a
child is being given the enema, it will be possible to insert the tube only a few
inches. Occasionally, this is a permanent situation. Often, however, as the colon
is cleaned and healed, the tube can eventually be inserted further. P. The tube should never  be forced when discomfort occurs. Q. After the flow of the solution is completed, one may remove the colon tube,
although it isn't necessary to do so. Regardless of the position used up to this
point, one should now lie on the left side for at least 5 minutes, then on the back
for another 5 minutes, then on the right side for at least 5 minutes. R. Those who have excessive gas may leave the tube in the colon with the hose
clamp open. This allows gas to escape through the enema container. Frequently,
the coffee will go in and out of the enema bag or bucket until the gas is relieved. S. After the enema is retained for 15 minutes or longer, it may be expelled. T. One is now ready for the rest of his daily routine clean and refreshed! Helpful Hints
1. If you find you have a lot of gas and it is difficult to retain the enema, try putting
2 tablespoons of blackstrap molasses into your coffee solution. 2. If you get a sudden gas bubble causing an urge to expel the solution, breathe
very fast through your nose using your abdominal muscles like a bellows. This
usually helps the colon wall break up the gas bubble. 3. If you find that a little coffee leaks out, place an old towel under your buttocks. Intestinal Obstruction
Occasionally, the intestinal tract w ill become obstructed. Usually under these
circumstances, no food or feces will come through. After a few days, one becomes
extremely nauseated and starts vomiting. He or she w ill be very sick and will
normally run a high temperature. This should be watched quite carefully, for in such
cases immediate emergency treatment is absolutely necessary. 96
Winning The Cancer War
One should never allow themselves to become extremely toxic. But, in order to
distinguish between a healing toxic reaction and an intestinal obstruction, as soon as
nausea or vomiting develops and no food is passing through, all supplements and
food should be stopped for 5 days. Water and juice may be taken during this time. If there is no vomiting, food is passing through, and the temperature remains below
100 degrees, the diet and normal routine may be resumed, as one may assume there
is no obstruction. A point to remember is that one shouldn't fail to cycle off the supplements
routinely before reaching such a state of toxicity! If, during the 5 days off the supplements with no solid food intake, one begins to
vomit and has abdominal pain with high temperature, the physician should be
consulted so that he or she can check for intestinal obstruction. Cleansing The Kidneys
The kidneys are vital organs of detoxification. They filter approximately 4,000
quarts of blood daily. The metabolic wastes, largely urea
