.
For instance, Conversations with God made the interesting
point in its dialogue that we were  meant to live forever; that physicallife was designed to allow sentient beings to live essentially forever.
And not to have to die at all, unless they actively chose to, perhaps
after several hundred years in one particular bodily expression, at
which point they could choo se to recreate themselves anew in a
different expression, for a wide variety of reasons, but having nothing
to do with typical end-of-life reasons that are faced routin ely now by
human beings on the Earth.
So the fact is that we are dying at a ridiculously young age of
anywhere between 60 and 90, for the most part. We are leaving our
physical body at a very young  age if you count those who won’t even
make it that long, if you count those who get into an accident or
something, or have some illness at a very young age. But a sign of
the exponentia l increase in the maturity of our species is exactly
what you’re pointing to.
We are, indeed, learning how to extend the lifespan and
increase the good health of human beings, such that the instructors
in your school are absolutely  correct: In the next fifty years we could
very well have achieved the potential to live far past the age of 100.
That might one day even seem like middle age to us.
Soon biogenetic medicine  is going to give us the opportunity to
actually replac e and recreate whole organs in the body. So there will
be very little reason, in fifty or sixty years, for us to have to die. And
we won’t be dying of “old age,” that’s for sure. Because we’ll be able
to replace all of our old parts, our “aging parts,” with brand new
parts. And so “old age” will no longer be a reason to expire. We still
might have accidents—that’ s of course true—and we may be so
injured that we can’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again. But“old age” may be a virtually unheard of reason for us to leave
physical form.
That is going to create a tremendous conundrum for people.
Because then they’ll have to really  start asking themselves the kinds
of questions we ask ourselves now, when we get as old as I am.
Then the human species will really have to start to ask itself, you
know, “What is the point? What am I doing here for 120, 150, 170
years, or more?
“What actually is the point of this physical platform that I have
found myself on?”
And surely it will be very clear when we start living to be 120,
140, or 150 years old that it obviously can’t be about get the guy, get
the girl, get the car, get the job... There clearly is something else
going on. And that will become patently obvious to us, as we begin
living so long that we become bored with nothing but the physical
accouterments of our life.
So the extended lifespan of humanity is going to create a real
conundrum for human beings. And the question is: Will it work
against the Agenda of the Soul, or in favor of the Agenda of the
Soul?
And that question will be placed before the house,  and
answered by people who are paying particular and specific attention
to not only the health of the body, but to the existence of the human
soul and its purpose and function in the overall process that we call
human life.

DR. COOPER: Yes! It certainly will bring up that important question:
are we here to serve the Agenda of the Body (to gather the physicalaccouterments of life, as you put it), or are we in fact here to serve
the Agenda of the Soul?  And it would certainly change our
experience dramatically, in particular our spiritual experience, if we
were to live for 150 years!
I notice coming to your retreats that often people will hit that
point of spiritual inquiry around mid-life with our current lifespan.
Because, as you said, the whole “to-do list’ of get the guy, get the
girl, get the car, get the house etc., is no longer a novelty. And
people come to see, maybe  around forty, fifty, or sixty: Okay, I’ve
done that, and that was wonderful... but maybe now there’ s
something more!
So perhaps that would all be even more magnified with a
lifespan two times as long!

NEALE: Imagine that! Imagin e if you’d gotten done all the things you
thought you were supposed to get done by the age of 45, or 50, or
even 60. Now what are you going to do for the next hundred years?!!

DR. COOPER: (Laughs.) That’ s a really good question.

NEALE: That’ s the question that medical science had better be
prepared to answer.
Because docto rs are going to become more than just healers
and “life extenders”—they’re going to become life explainers. People
are going to be going to doctors saying, “Whoa,” you know, “What do
I do now for the next hundred years? I already got the guy, got the
girl, got the car, got the job... now what am I going to do?”And we’re going to find that the doctors who call themselves
psychiatrists, who are, of course, medical doctors, are going to have
enormously different kinds of work to do. In fact, there will be a brand
new field, as physicians in other fields begin to extend the lifespan of
human beings. Doctors of the mind—psychiatrists (I promise you, and
I predict that this will happen in your lifetime)—will develop a new
occupation, a new branch and a new field of Psychiatry. It’ll be called.
.. I don’t know what they’ll call it ultimately, but my description of it
would be Spiritual Psychiatry.
My understanding is that the word “psychology” is a deriv ative
of two words, “psycho” and “logy,” which emerge from the Greek
word for soul, and the Gree k word for logic, or wisdom. So “psycho-
logy” is the wisdom or the logic of the soul.
They took the soul out of “psycho-logy” when it became
“psychology” (the profession), and these days psychologists and
psychiatrists are not allowed  to bring into their treatment the word
God, unless it is at the behest and at the specific request of the
patient. But even then, they can only ask the patient what they think
about that. It is considered out of bounds for psychiatrists to propose
or suggest or explore ideas about God that the psychiatrist puts into
the space. They can only discuss what the patient brings into the
conversation.
But there will be Spiritual Therapists as a branch of Psychiatry
and Psychology in the next fifty years who will be just as much a
specialist in that area as eye, ear, nose, and throat specialists, and
other physician s who specialize in certain areas of the physical body,
are today. The metaphysical discipline will join the physical
disciplines as part of the overall medical profession.
DR. COOPER: That’ s such a beautiful way of putting it—the
metaphysical will join the physical.
This whole concept makes me think back to a doctor I worked
with who was a Pediatric Oncologist, meaning that she worked in the
field of childhood cancer. Many people would consider  this to be a
challenging if not a deeply saddening field to work in, given that
many of these children never make it into their adult years. But what
this doctor offered these children is a gift I’ll never forget. She was
certainly a “Doctor of the Soul,” if I could put it that way... someone
who merged the physical with the metaphysical,  to use your words.
As we’ve talked about before, in the chapter on medical
miracles, heali ng the physical  and the metaphysical  are two sides of
the same coin. It is in the Intersection of the Physical and the
Spiritual—where God and Medicine meet—where true healing takes
place. For in situations as dramatic and life-changing as childhood
cancer, to heal the body without taking into account the spiritual
journey of the individual would be to consider just one small piece of
the pie.
And this is what separated this particular physician from
anyone else I’ve worked with. She took children, many of whom
were in a “tragic situation” when we consider life from a purely
physical point of view, and she understood at an intuitive level how to
nurture these children’ s souls.
I remem ber being so touched, Neale, by the way she walked
through the world. Every week, she would get the kids together and
volunteer her time for a “group outing.” Sometimes it would be an
outdoor activity like going for a walk in the woods, or having a picnic,and other times it would be an indoor activity like arts and crafts or
watching a movie with pizza. All of the kids would get together with
one another, but the rule was that they could not talk about cancer.
Each one of them had cancer, and each one of them had been
enduring challenging health  battles, but for the durat ion of the
evening they got to experience being normal, regular children, free
from the


Fortunately, there is a huge amount of information available about raw  foods on websites, in books, and from counselors. But
beware: most of the “leaders” who offer this information have little  education, experience, or professional training in nutrition or
health creation.
Newcomers do not have enough perspective to be able to discern the valid infor mation from the dangerous or the sound
science from the well-marketed infomercial. We can quickly end up with  a situation where the blind are being led by the semi-
sighted.
My advice is to be certain that you seek guidance from someone who has reac hed stability in his or her own food program. I
recommend increasing the consumption of whole fruits and vegetables a nd minimizing any use of supplements, super foods, or
condiments of all types. Eat simply at each meal, reducing the total num ber of ingredients while obtaining variety in your diet
throughout the seasons.

Do fruits and vegetables have enough nutrients?
The very best quality water, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phyton utrients, enzymes, coenzymes, fiber, protein,
carbohydrates, and fats all  come from organically grown fruits and vegetables grown in highly com posted, living soils. They are
complete nutritional packages and provide all the nutrients we need, in t he proportions and ratios our bodies require for proper
functioning. No man-made vitamin tablet or other supplement can com pare with Nature’s handiwork.
Of all foods, fruits are richest in vitamins and water, and second riche st in minerals and fiber, while vegetables and leafy greens
are richest in minerals and fiber, and second richest in vitamins an d water. Vegetables supply minerals and fiber so far in excess of
our needs that the quantity supplied in fruit actually comes closer to m eeting our needs. (As I have stated elsewhere, consuming
more than we need of any nutrient is not better, and in fact creates nutritional imbalances, despite marketin g hype to the contrary).
Fruits, being far higher in calories than vegetables and thus capabl e of fueling us adequately, should comprise the majority of
our diets. Some fruits, however, do actually fall short in terms of minera ls, so it is important to include some vegetables in our diet to
make up for the eventual lack that could develop on a fruit-only diet. Nonethe less, in every category, the nutrient content of fruit
comes closer to matching human nutritional needs than that of any oth er food group.
We need small quantities of both proteins and fats. So, although fruits and v egetables are not high in protein and fat content,
they still remain their ideal source.

What about vitamin B 12?
Almost every health and nutrition professional in the world holds the not ion that people must at least supplement their diets
with a B 12  source if they don’t eat meat. But the truth is, vitamin B 12  deficiency is not limited to vegetarians and vegans; it is common among meat eaters as well—not because they don’t eat enough B 12, but because they don’t properly produce and absorb it.  Let
me explain just a bit about how this all works.
As I see it, two primary vegan sources of natural vitamin B 12 exist for humans, either of which, under ideal conditions, should
be sufficient to provide the B 12  to meet our needs:
First, vitamin B 12  is a waste product of a bacteria that can be found in and on the foods we eat (of both  animal and  plant
origin).
Second, B 12  is also produced in the intestine and the mucosa of healthy humans.
An alleged but very unlikely third source of B 12  may be unheated algae, spirulina, chlorella, and other creatures (whi ch are not
plants, by the way, and thus not to be considered vegan), and also raw seaweeds  like nori, wakame, dulse, kombu, etc. Although
these substances apparently do contain some human-active B 12, they also contain significant amounts of noncobalamin analogs of
B12, which actually interfere with the absorption of true B 12. The analog form of B 12  registers on test results, masquerading as the
human nutrient, but the body cannot use it. To compound the problem, analog B 12  also occupies the body’s B 12  uptake sites or
“receptors,” thus lowering our ability to utilize true B 12.
From a health and biological-design perspective, the question of whether  the B 12 in these foods is the kind we need or an
analog (or some of both) becomes irrelevant. Regardless of the answer, I do not  recommend the consumption of sea life under any
circumstances. Humans are terrestrial creatures and as such ou r digestive capacities and nutritional requirements are adapted to th e
consumption of plants from the land. Aquatic plants and animals are not our  natural foods, nor does their nutritional makeup match
our needs.
If you disagree, take yourself to the oceanside one day and collect some of your  own fresh algae or seaweed. I think you will
find these “foods,” as they appear unprocessed in nature, to be abhorren t in taste. Compare this reaction to the sensory thrill that
you experience when you see, smell, and taste a perfectly ripe piece of fr uit picked fresh from the tree. Your visceral response to
these two scenarios should tell you unequivocally which of these item s is food for humans.
That said, I return to the first two B 12 sources mentioned above. If it is true that plant and  animal foods can contain B 12, and
that we make it within our bodies as well, then how is it that we find vita min B 12 deficiency in humans? This is an extremely complex
matter, but I will discuss four reasons for this phenomenon in a very sim plified manner.

1) Our produce no longer contains vitamin B 12.
Since the beginning of time, humans have acquired some of their vitam in B 12  directly from fruits and vegetables … but they did not
know they were doing so. You see, scientists did not discover vitamin B 12  until the 1950s, and by then our commercially produced
plant foods had spent about a decade devoid of vitamin B 12, a nutrient that had existed plentifully in plant foods since time
immemorial.
How did this come about? Well, plants do not make a lot of vitamins. Rather, they s oak them up from the soil through their
roots. Most of our vitamins are made by bacteria in the soil. Since the adven t of modern agriculture in 1942, when Bayer and other
chemical manufacturers began diverting leftover chemical wea pons from World War II into use as pesticides and fertilizers, 84
farmers have inadvertently sterilized the bacteria out of our soils. The resulting loss of plant-derived dietary vitamin B 12 is just one of
the unintended consequences of “better living through chemistry,”  an initiative that continues to devastate the balance of nature  in
ways we are only beginning to comprehend.
Given this historical perspective, it is easy to understand why nutr itional researchers generally encounter no vitamin B 12  in plant
foods since they take their samples from among produce grown in dead soils. Howe ver, organically grown plants specifically
cultivated in highly composted soils rich with organic matter can contain plenty of B 12  and a host of other nutrients not found (or
found in short supply) in industrially grown produce.
Organic matter, defined as anything that rots, is the root of organic fa rming and the engine that runs the entire web of life on
Earth. Fungi and bacteria eat the organic matter, and then they “p oop” … in the process contributing complex substances to the soil,
including vitamin B 12  and other nutrients, in profusion. Plants grown in such soils take up thes e nutrients through their roots.
When we add chemicals to the soil, we destroy not only “pests” and the bac teria that produce vitamin B 12, but also the entire
pyramid of soil life (which begins with organic material, then fungi  and bacteria but also includes mites, then predatory mites,
springtails, and worms). Most agricultural soil in the United States  contains only 1 to 2% organic matter, a level that qualifies it as
biologically dead. The practice of farming with chemicals and not retur ning any organic matter to the soil is now more than sixty
years old. The far-reaching devastating side effects of this prac tice on all forms of life on Earth—and their delicately balanced
ecosystems—are too numerous to adequately describe in anything less  than a separate book.
Therefore, I recommend getting to know the organic farmers at your local  farmer’s markets and making sure that they use
compost. (I prefer vegan fertilizers and compost that don’t contain a nimal products or manure.) People find this difficult to hear, but I also believe that if you live where farmer’s markets and organic ally grown tropical fruits are not available, you would do well to
consider relocating. Of course, growing your own food would be best of all, and I hig hly recommend doing so, whenever possible.

2) We wash our produce.
A hundred years ago, people tended to bathe once a week or less, on average, and they  did not concern themselves with
fastidiously washing the surfaces of their fruits and vegetables  as they do these days. In part, this is

One of them was the energized aluminum plate.12  As Tesla himself said, ‘If you want to ﬁnd the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.’After Tesla’s death, a scientist by the name of Ralph Bergstresser studied the purple plate notes and in the 1970’s was able to create the invention that originated from Tesla’s theories.  They are now readily available to buy in various sizes.According to www.purpleplates.com, the science works like this:‘The atomic structure of Purple Plates has been altered, allowing the atoms and electrons of the aluminum to resonate in tune with the basic energy that causes the particles of every atom and molecule to be in constant vibration. Once the structure of the atoms of the 12 http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/tesla/lostjournals/lostjournals10.htmaluminum has been altered, they will remain in that condition. The plates create a positive energy ﬁeld around themselves that will penetrate any material substance by osmosis. This energy is said to be beneﬁcial to all life..

the study of Tibetan secrets. delivered to the lab arrested
monks from datsans. By means of torture and cruel treatment of them knocked out
intimate knowledge of Tibetan lamas, but Stalin had intended to
to get the chief expert on Tibetan secrets - Hambo Lama Dashi-
Dorzho Itigilova, head of the Buddhist clergy throughout East
Siberia. Hambo Lama was a known person, and not only in the USSR
but also in the East. He got his childhood in Tibet datsan, 1923
studied in him all sorts of Tibetan Wisdom. perfectly mastered
Old Mongolian and Tibetan languages, he studied ancient books,
stored in Tibetan temples. In 1910 he was honorably
adopted by the Russian Czar Nicholas II. received a royal order. Of course,
Hambo Lama's popularity to Stalin prevented simply arrest
and bring a llama to Moscow. and he went as often liked to do
a detour.
At the direction of Stalin was organized funded
Soviet expedition to Tibet, which was headed by a great artist
and ethnographer, NK Roerich, a commander of the expedition was appointed
well-known adventurer and spy James Blumkin.
Expedition to Tibet passes through Buryatia, Mongolia,
and of course, two well-known person - NK Roerich and Hambo Lama Itigilov

employee of the same secret laboratory in Moscow. For sure

he certainly knew - through communication biofield (this is quite possible
we were doing and therefore affirm) - knew about the sad fate
Buddhist monks in Moscow, but to go abroad in secret he could not.
He was immediately announced to the enemy of the people, and all his supporters, all
Buddhists, he came just would have destroyed. J. Blumkin three more times,
already secretly visited Tibet, and if he got into it through Mongolia,
you probably visited and Hambo Lama.
And at this time Hambo Lama carefully prepared to care in suspended animation,
and when it became absolutely intolerable and dangerous, "he left" a proud
and undefeated, preserved their dignity and honor, and had saved
many people's lives. Honor and praise him for it. And that care Hambo Lama
connected precisely with Joseph Stalin, and shows a curious
fact: it open the crypt and to determine the state of his body of Hambo Lama
pointed out in 1953, 30 years after the immersion in suspended animation. But
1953 - the year of the death of Stalin, the worst enemy Hambo Lama and all
Buddhists. If this is not a coincidence, because the Hambo Lama was
visionary, it is very fine revenge to the enemy, and it is worthy of respect.

 helps to produce ketoacids which replace carbohydrates for energy
production. Also inform yourself about the advantages of a ketogenic diet
and what to watch out for.
Instead of or as part of the Low Carb ohydrate Diet you may also use the
Psyllium Cleanse as detailed in Chapter 5. Another possibility is a Urine
Fast. This is especially effective against Candi da and is better tolerated
than a water fast.
With cooked protein meals you may add digestive enzymes such as
bromelain and papain after the food has sufficiently cooled, possibly also
a hydrochloric acid supplement, just experiment to see what works for
you. For more details see Overcoming Candida.
Ketogenic Diet
The ketogenic diet, usually just called keto diet, is very low in carbohydrates,
high in (healthy) fat and normal in protein. It can be excellent as a 24
 Candida diet. The main problem is that individuals with defective fat
absorption and defective fat metabolism often cannot handle it. Also,  it
can be difficult to get enough vitamins and  minerals. Nevertheless, try it
if you are so inclined, it may remove the main burden of your Candida
problem. When Candida is under control it is advisable to increase again
the vegetable intake.
An easier way to start a keto diet is to gradually increas e the amount of
coconut oil in your diet. The medium -chain fatty acids in coconut oil are
oxidized in the liver to keto acids which the body can use as a
replacement for carbohydrates. As with the conventional keto diet, some
individuals with liver problem s are restricted in the amount of coconut oil
that the liver can handle. Therefore,  try it out by gradually increasing the
amount of coconut oil and then remain at your highest problem -free
intake.
Finally, there is the Paleolithic Diet with cooked or raw  meat ( Raw
Paleolithic Diet) which has helped many individuals to overcome
Candida problems. A main problem with a diet high in meat is its high
content of inflammatory arachidonic acid, similar to linoleic acid in
polyunsaturated oils. It is also high in acidic phosphorus compounds.
This effect may be moderated by taking more sodium bicarbonate, lemon
juice, vegetables, oily fish and fish oils.
For specific Ketogenic and Paleolithic Diets see the Internet.
Raw-Food Diet
A raw -food diet is not only the most natural but also the most effective
nutritional measure for healing and rejuvenation. However,  it needs to be
adopted gradually as it can cause various cleansing reactions, and even
more important, our taste buds need t ime to adjust. While only few will
be strong enough to adopt a complete raw food diet for life, it will be good
for everyone to have occasional periods on raw foods only. By far the
most important foods to be eaten raw are proteins and lipids (fats and
oils) for their enzyme content, and fruit and vegetable juices or salads for
their bioenergy or life -force.
Most 'raw foodists' will be content to have about 90% of their food raw 25
 and be free to have some cooked food when eating out and at parties.
For detail s see: Healing Foods.
Slimming Diet
By far the best slimming diet is one based on fresh raw foods and not be
concerned with weight and scales. But few individuals seem to be able
to do this, possibly due to the Candida infection causing cravings for
sweets and grain products. Therefore,  a less drastic alternative is to
minimize conventional sweeteners and foods  based on grains or cereals.
The main cause of overweight is the inhibition of the fat metabolism by
Candida. Use the following recommendations in addition to improving the
fat metaboli sm as shown in the next section.
As a sweetener glycerine causes fewer problems than sugar as it does
not affect insulin levels, but it still provides the same calories as
carbohydrates. Prunes may be used as a sweet treat with a low impact
on the blood su gar level, and even better and suitable as a sweetener is
xylitol.
Eat mainly slow -digesting food such as proteins, unheated fats and oils,
legumes and vegetables; maximize raw food intake, lemon juice fasts
and exercise. Periodically restrict your diet t o proteins and green or low -
carb vegetables; use high -carb vegetables such as potatoes, pumpkins
(squash) and carrots only raw as in a salad. Have a slow -digesting
breakfast based on legumes, best Dahl. Avoid big meals and  have
frequent small meals and snacks instead. For details s ee Overcoming
Weight Problems.
Improving the Fat Metabolism
Acetaldehyde produced by Candida blocks the fat metabolism in the liver
and leads to pyroluria. This causes energy deficiency in the liver and a
lack of bile. The medium -chain triglycerides (MCT) in coconut oil provide
the energy for greatly improved liver  functions, provided also activated
vitamin B6 or P5P and zinc are used in addition.
The sulphur amino acid taurine has many important functions, including 26
 for the heart, immune system and blood sugar control. It is highest in
hard-working muscles, but in  this context,  it is a main ingredient in the
formation of bile. Bile is produced from combining taurine (or glycine)
with an oxidised form of cholesterol. Bile has not only the function to
emulsify fats for proper absorption but also to release toxins processed
by the liver. Less taurine means less bile and therefore higher cholesterol
levels, more gravel and gallstones, poor absorption of fats and a more
toxic liver.
Further, carnitine  is needed to shuttle fatty acids into the energy -
producing mitochondria. This is bes t supplied as the better absorbed N -
acetyl -carnitine.
The chain of treatment for restoring liver energy, bile flow and fat
metabolism is like this:
• Coconut oil several times daily for liver energy and the production of
 ketoacids
• P5P and zinc to enable th e synthesis of essential proteins
• Up to 2 x ½ teaspoon s each of taurine and N -acetyl -carnitine with
 food
After sufficient health improvement these supplements can be reduced
or phased out.
Special Foods
Special foods  high in protective nutrients may be used for general healing
qualities or to overcome various health problems. Examples are sprouted
seeds, bee pollen, cereal grasses juiced or as powder, purple foods,
sulphur foods, and unheated lactic acid fermented foo ds.
Bone Jelly Broth  is excellent for improving connective tissue and is
useful with arthritis, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, weak blood vessels,
varicose veins, sagging skin and other age -related problems. Simmer
fish heads or knucklebones for several hour s with the addition of several
tablespoons of vinegar in a non -metal pot. Strain and refrigerate or  freeze
in small lots. Frequently add to meals.  27
 Alternatively, you may add a tablespoon of gelatine when cooking food.
It also helps to absorb minerals.
Fermented Foods  help to maintain a healthy gastro -intestinal tract. Try
to make your own using lacto bacterial cultures from several sources to
provide a wide range of different strains. Also,  kefir grains are good and
work at room temperature.  In additio n to or instead of milk -based
ferments explore fermenting grains, bee pollen and vegetables,
preferably at temperatures from 37 to 40°C. However, many individuals
are very sensitive to yeasts and aged proteins in ferments as well as to
the mucus -inducing e ffects of galactose/lactose, especially from kefir.
For recipes see: users.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html  and

Glycerine  (also Glycerin or Glycerol) is a sweet carbohydrate and part
of fats and oils. Unlike sucrose or fructose,  it does not elevate insulin
levels. High insulin levels convert glucose into fat, and are a main cause
of overweight, and by causing hypoglycaemia a  wide range of symptoms
may result including overacidity, fatigue, fainting spells, anxiety attacks
and phobias. While the underlying cause commonly is Candida, taking a
spoonful of glycerine with water and flavoured with lemon juice before
stressful event s can reduce problems.
Green Juice may be  from fresh leaves, celery, and from wheat or barley
grass or even soft lawn grass, or you may blend fresh leaves of any kind
at high speed with water and  ingest without straining.
Lemon Juice  is especially impo rtant because it helps to regenerate the
oxidative energy metabolism which is at the heart of most modern
diseases. Citric acid is the key nutrient in the citric acid cycle that oxidises
food to carbon dioxide and water, yielding 20 times more energy than the
anaerobic energy production to lactic acid in cells with blocked oxidation.
Take about 50 ml of fresh (or unfrozen) lemon juice 1 to 3 times daily
before meals. Partly neutralise with some sodium bicarbonate and dilute
with several parts of


. The Golden Flower is
the light at the crown of the head. The Big Draw conserves your
nectar, the sexual essence. It is exchanging your ching with your
lover that transforms it, and in the process gives you an experience
of sex which is deeply shared as love. Your orgasm will be totally
unlike that known to simple ejaculators. As you make love over
periods of time, the pleasure spreads over and fills the entire body.
This orgasm of the whole body is unknown to quick-ejaculating
males whose thrill is confined primarily to the genital area. Most
important you will gain a new sense of inner equilibrium that will
be stored in your body long after your pleasure has become a
flitting memory.
This method prolongs penetration to one-half hour, one hour,
two hours, or more. You can enjoy this form of sexual love indefi-
nitely without paying for your pleasure with your life force. The
difference is in the type of orgasm. The ordinary one may be called
the Peak Orgasm: one fleeting moment of intense, even excruciat-
ing pleasure, then nothing.
Taoists advocate the Valley Orgasm: continual rolling expan-
sion of the orgasm throughout the whole body. The Valley Orgasm
provides more gradual, but ultimately greatly heightened ecstasy.
Carlos Suares used an image similar to the Taoist Valley Orgasm to
distinguish true loving in sex from ejaculation: "Erotically, the
man is more like a valley watered by innumerable streams than like
a deep gorge where an overwhelming torrent rushes along."
During the Valley Orgasm, lovers can relax and have all the
time in the world to share their tenderness. There is no frenzied
explosion, only wave after wave of higher subtle energies bathing
the entwined man and woman. The Valley Orgasm is not a tech-
nique, but rather a certain kind of experience that the lovers allow
to happen to themselves. But it can be encouraged by following
this time-tested process:
1. Timing: after thrusting, relax and exchange energy.
Following the Hard Contractions of the Big Draw return to
thrusting. After another round of 81 shallow (and 9 deep) thrusts,
you may again be drawing near ejaculation. Meanwhile, the woman
has been highly stimulated by your passion. She, too, may be
approaching orgasm.
When she becomes very excited, the vaginal lubricant flowsCultivating The Valley Orgasm

more freely. In this fluid there are large amounts of Yin energy.
Following the second series of thrusts you need to perform the Big
Draw a second time to prevent ejaculation. Or if the woman is
about to have an orgasm, cease rubbing while she performs the Big
Draw. In either case, the momentum of your sexual energies
should be established and moving up toward your higher centers.
At this point cease thrusting and begin to exchange the re-
storative energies with her. You will gently release the hot, male
Yang energy into her. She will release the cool, female Yin into
you. Remember you cannot take in her power without giving freely
of your own. The exchange heals both. Man needs the soft recep-146 Taoist Secrets Of Love
tive energies a woman produces to achieve perfect balance. And
woman needs the expanding male energies to attain her own higher
harmony. This is the underlying reason for the attraction of the
sejes to begin with.
2. Position: When you cease from active thrusting and begin
your embrace in any pleasing position. If the man is heavy, the
woman should usually be on top. If the woman is stronger than the
man, she should usually be on the bottom so that he can draw the
power more easily. If the woman is weaker she may be on top
where she can draw more readily. In any case, make sure it is a
position you can rest in for a long while. You should keep two extra
pillows handy for this purpose.
3. Coordinate Breathing With Your Lover.
"Chi" means "breath" in Chinese. Life is breath. All living
activity has the quality of inhalation, exhalation, or some combina-
tion of the two. This is why Chinese philosophy classifies every-
thing as Yin (exhalation) or Yang (inhalation) to a greater or lesser
degree. The act of love is essentially an act of respiration. You
breathe your ching into your lover's body and soul. You inhale this
life energy by drawing it up to the head and exhale it into your
partner.
So after you have stopped thrusting and embraced your lover,
coordinate the breathing. Each partner places his ear near the
lover's nose with chest to chest. In this position you can easily feel
the other's breathing. In the act of love the breath cycles stimulate
and harmonize all processes of life. Physically breathing together
unifies the two partners and focuses the rhythm of all of their
energies so that together they may contact the source of their life
current. You should become so sensitive to the presence of her
breath that you feel yourself inside her breath as deeply and
strongly as if you were pushing your penis into the bottom of her
vagina.
4. Inhale Power Up Spine To The Head, Exhale Out The Penis.
After you breathe together for a time, gradually draw the
power up to the crown of the head. On the inhale the man thinks
the yin power from the vagina into the penis and the woman thinks
the yang power from the penis into the vagina. Both draw it back to
the Hui-Yin, (the perineum) the Chang-Chiang (the coccyx) and up
the back in steps to the Pai-Hui (crown). From there it goesCultivating The Valley Orgasm 147
through the tongue which is, during the whole exercise, raised to
the top of the mouth.
The goal is not to use muscular force to help (as in the Big
Draw), but simply to use the power of thought to direct the sexual
energy. Think it up. This instruction may sound baffling on first
reading, but those who have begun to do sexual kung fu will start to
feel the power and will understand intuitively what I mean. The
power will rise to the head eventually as your mind learns how to
direct its own chi energy connecting the mind and body.
In the beginning, you can accelerate the exchange of yin/yang
power with a long, deep muscular contraction. When the vaginal
fluid seethes inside the woman, inhale slowly and deeply through
the nostrils. While you inhale contract the penis, Hui-Yin, anus,
buttocks, jaws and fists, in that order. As you tighten this contrac-
tion, think the power into the penis, past the Hui-Yin, into the
Chang-Chiang and up the spine into the crown of the head. When
you have finished the inhalation, hold the breath and contraction
for as long as you can. Keep drawing the power up to the head until
you can hold the breath no longer.
DIAGRAM 30
Pai-Hui—The Crown
Yin/Yang Exchange
Both pamters gradually draw the energy
up to the Pai-Hui, the crown of the head,
before exchanging it.
When you release the breath, consciously give your excess
Yang energy and heat to the woman. To successfully bestow the
power upon her, you must exhale deeply. Release all tension by
relaxing the head, throat, chest, abdomen and pelvis. Let the relax-
ation spread from the top to the bottom of the body in a wave.
When the gentle wave reaches the pelvic region, send the Yang
warmth energy not seed!—into the woman through the penis. The
contraction and relaxation should be done gently, creating a feeling
of pulsation travelling between your body and hers.148 Taoist Secrets Of Love
Lovingly offer her your essential energy. This surrender shall
carry with it all emotions of love and devotion. This is not mean
sentimentality. It will inspire her to surrender her nourishing yin
essence and to totally embrace the yang within yin. This is the
nature of her fulfillment. If you attempt to withhold your energy,
she will sense-consciously or unconsciously—your sense ofsepa-
rateness, your stubborn ego, which is in one sense nothing more
than energy stuck in one place (usually the head in the male). So
allow her to absorb the Yang energy she needs while you surrender
the excess which might have forced you to ejaculate. As the urge to
ejaculate fades with relaxation, the Yin energy will flood your en-
tire body while the Yang floods into her.
If you are just beginning to practice, you may be so over-
whelmed by the sensations of sexual love that it will seem impossi-
ble to distinguish her yin energy from your yang. Everything may
seem hot and explosive and a


We shall not cease fr om exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive wher e we started,
And know the place for the first time.
This is death—nothing to fear, nothing to do.
This is what I believe Lao-tzu is saying to you in this profound verse of
the T ao Te Ching:
Discontinue fearing your death.
It makes as much sense to think about your death in fearful terms as it
does to perceive the color of your eyes in such a way. The Tao is in it all—
birth, life, and death. Reread the T. S. Eliot quote, as well as the 40th verse
of the Tao Te Ching (which I titled “Living by Returning and Yielding”).
By retur ning in death, you’ll truly know the Tao... for perhaps the first
time.
Examine the ways you kill.
Make a decision that you’re no longer going to serve in the capacity of
executioner, including even the smallest and seemingly most insignificant
creatures, and then act on it. Live this principle by allowing the lord of life
and death to decide when the return trip is to be made. Don’ t make this a
crusade; just make your own commitment to exist in harmony with the Tao.
And by all mean s, don’t impose your beliefs on others, for noninterference
is one of the major positions of the T ao Te Ching.
Do the T ao Now
During meditation, practice dying while still alive. That is, leave your
body, discard it, and float abov e the world. This will help you disconnect
yourself from feeling that your physical shell is who you are. The more you
are the observer rather than the object of what you see, the easier it will beto remove your fear of dying. Do this for just a few minutes daily.
Remember that you are not this body—you are a piece of the infinite Tao,
never changing and never dying.
This excerpt from Neale Donald Walsch’ s Communion with God
elaborates on this thought:
Which snowflake is the most magnificent? Is it possible that they are all
magnificent—and that, celebrating their magnificence together they create
an awesome display? Then they melt into each other, and into the Oneness.
Yet they never go away. They never disappear. They never cease to be.
Simply, they change form. And not just once, but several times: from solid
to liquid, from liquid to vapor, from the seen to the unseen, to rise again,
and then again to return in new displays of breathtaking beauty and wonder.
This is Life, nourishing Life.
This is you.
The metaphor is complete.
The metaphor is real.
You will make this real in your experience when you simply decide it is
true, and act that way. See the beauty and the wonder of all whose lives you
touch. For you are each wondrous indeed, yet no one more wondrous than
another. And you all will one day melt into the Oneness, and know then that
you form together a single stream.
OceanofPDF.comOceanofPDF.com75th Verse

people lose their spirit.

Demanding Little
This verse was intended to help the ruling classes and the nobility manage
the realm. Understand that during the warring-states period in ancient
China, rulers used onerous methods to impose order on the masses: They
tended to keep all of the tax money that was collected from the people for
themselves, flaunting their good fortune in the faces of the impoverished.
Those who were overtaxed and overburdened would lose their spirit and
sense of loyalty and ultimately rebel against the laws imposed upon them.
This book you’re holding in your hands isn’t intended as a social
commentary to enlighten political leaders who take advantage of their
positions (although I’d certainly invite any of them to take heed of Lao-
tzu’s advice!). Rather, I wrote it to help you apply the inherent wisdom in
each of the 81 verses of the Tao Te Ching. So you’re invited to change the
way you look at assisting others to stay inspired and have contented and
peaceful lives.
You may believe  that demanding more from those in your charge, such as
your children or co-workers, creates more productivity, but Lao-tzu
suggests the opposite is true. Demand little, he advises, and even leave
people alone as much as possible. And the imposition of excessive taxation
on the masses can have an analogous component for you to consider when
it comes to how you treat those you’re responsible for leading.
Government officials often vote to raise more and more money for pet
projects and even their own personal benefit simply because they have the
authority to do so. Since they’re in charge of lawmaking, they write rules
that allow them to be abusive toward the very people who pay their salaries
and provide them  with all of their benefits. In virtually all cases, those who
are being taxed to provide luxurious lifestyle perks receive far less in the
way of benefits than those who are the recipients of that tax. In other words,
the rule makers and others in power are using their positions to take
advantage of ordinary people. When this becomes too preva lent, thoseordinary people become restless and disruptive, with scant respect for
authority. As Lao-tzu puts it “People lose their spirit.”
Rather than demanding more because you’re older, bigger, richer, or more
powerful, leave those you’re in charge of alone whenever feasible, trusting
in their inherent wisdom to do the right thing. Overbearing, taxing
authorities create rebellion and chaos—and you’ll create the same unless
you check your inclinations and reverse yourself by being less demanding
instead of more.
I’ve practiced this approach to leadership my entire adult life by keeping
the number of people who work for me and require my supervision to an
absolute minimum. My deman ds on my manager/ secretary/all-purpose
assistant are few and far between, and she’s been my sole employee for
three decades. I allow her to negotiate contracts, to make all arrangements
for speaking events, and to manage my very large business with an absence
of demands from me. I don’t tell her what time to come to work, what to
wear, or how to talk to people; and my reward for being a boss with
minimal demand s is someone who’ s fiercely loyal, who can be depended on
to do the right thing, who loves her job, and who is indispensable to me.
I behave the same way toward my editor, who has also been with me for
30-plus years. I write from my heart, allowing the words to flow onto the
page, and then I send it to her. I trust this woman implicitly and allow her to
do what she incarnated to do with no demands from me. My reward for
being nonintrus ive is to have my books beautifully and professionally
polished. My editor and I also enjoy a loving, peaceful relationship, with
both of us content and proud of the work we were destined to produce.
While what I’m describing may seem impossible to you, it can absolutely
be attained when you trust in the Tao to mana ge all of the details of both
your professional and personal life.
The following is what Lao-tzu urges you to take from this 75th verse of
the Tao Te Ching, which was originally intended for leaders of countries,
but is applicable to everyone in a supervisory or parental role:
Don’t overtax yourself.
Lao-tzu’ s reminder that excessive taxation will lead to a loss of spirit
applies to you as well. If you weigh yourself down with excessive demands,you’ll wear yourself out or develop symptoms of depression, anxiety,
worry, heart disease, or any number of physical ailments. Give yourself a
break from self-imposed pressures that burden you, allowing yourself
plenty of free time to commune with nature, play with your children, read,
see a movie, or just do nothing.
Trust those you’r e entrusted to lead.
Don’ t continually monitor those you’re responsible for raising or
supervising; instead, develop a trust in your less experienced charges. They
must be allowed to use their own minds, for they also have a destiny to
fulfill that’ s orchestrated by the T ao. So demand less and encourage more as
much as you can, allowing them to pursue their own excellence and
happiness. Your trust will lead to their trusting themselves and the wisdom
that created them.
Do the T ao Now
Take a break from all that occupies your mind, including your
responsibilities. Even if it’s only for 15 minutes, clear your mind, empty
your “demands file,” and allow yourself the freedom that comes with being
less exacting.
When you complete this, do the same with your children or someone who
reports to you at work. Put your arm around them and ask them to go for a
brief walk, just doing nothing but being together in nature. Then let them
return to their responsibilities at their own pace.
If you’re thinking that your child or employee needs an imperious
overseer, perhap s they’ve become that way because you haven’ t trusted
them to be self-reliant.

2DMSO in Basic
Pharmacology
ABSORPTION, FATE, AND EXCRETION OF DMSO
Pharmacokinetics is the branch of pharmacology that deals with what the body does
to administered drugs. The opposite of pharmacokinetics is pharmacodynamics, which deals with what the drug does to the body. Pharmacokinetics of a drug can be examined by administering the drug to animals or humans and obtaining blood, urine, and feces specimens for the quantitative analysis of the drug’s adsorption, metabolism, and excretion patterns. The rate of appearance and elimination of the drug in the bloodstream as well as the drug’s transformation into other compounds as it passes through the liver and excretion of the drug’s metabolites can then be recorded.
The pharmacokinetics of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) following its topical appli -
cation has been well studied. Findings show that DMSO has a wide distribution in tissue and body fluids. DMSO and its metabolite dimethyl sulfone are excreted in the urine and feces, while its second metabolite, dimethyl sulfide, is eliminated through the breath and skin and is responsible for the characteristic garlic  odor that
is noticed after DMSO application. Dimethyl sulfone can persist in serum 2 weeks after a single intravesical instillation. No residual accumulation of DMSO occurs after its prolonged use.
1
Human volunteers were given DMSO orally and dermally at a dose of 1 g/kg as
a 70% aqueous solution. DMSO was quickly absorbed when administered dermally. Peak serum levels occurred after 4–8 h. Orally administered DMSO was rapidly absorbed, reaching a peak serum level after 4 h. Unchanged DMSO and its metabo -
lite dimethyl sulfone appeared in the serum after about 48 h and persisted for as long as 2 weeks. Urinary excretion of DMSO after dermal and oral administration was approximately 13% and 30%–68% of the dose, respectively. Renal clearance of DMSO was about 14 mL/min.
2
Topical application of radioactive 35S-DMSO in humans can be observed in blood
after 5 min and in bones 1 h later.3
Radioactive 35S-DMSO was orally administered to rats. Animals were killed
at specific times, and the tissues were assayed for total radioactivity.4 All tissues
showed radioactivity after 30 min. Plasma, kidney, spleen, lung, heart, and testes seemed to have higher levels than liver, fat, small intestine, brain, skeletal muscle, and red cells. Concentrations in the testes, skeletal muscle, heart, and brain increased
after 30 min but remained virtually constant in other tissues. Levels of DMSO had
declined to minimal values in all tissues after 24 h.
4 The ratio of dimethyl sulfone to
DMSO 4 h after oral administration of 35S-DMSO was found to be virtually constant 16 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
in liver, testes, kidney, spleen, small intestine, heart, and plasma.4 The lowest levels
of 35S-DMSO were found in the lens of the eye. The half-life of 35S-DMSO was
prolonged in hard tissues, and virtually no radioactive DMSO is found in any tissue
1 week after the last dose of a single or repeated administration.4
Rhesus monkeys were given daily oral doses of 3 g DMSO/kg for 14 days, and
its major metabolite, dimethyl sulfone, was measured in serum, urine, and feces by gas–liquid chromatography.
5 DMSO was quickly absorbed and reached a steady-
state blood level after 24 h and then was cleared from blood within 72 h after treat -
ment ended. Serum DMSO declined in a linear fashion as described by second-order kinetics.
5 Dimethyl sulfone half-life in serum was calculated to be 38 h and appeared
in blood within 2 h, reaching a steady-state concentration after 4 days of treatment. Following DMSO administration, dimethyl sulfone was cleared from serum after 120 h. Urinary excretion of unmetabolized DMSO and dimethyl sulfone accounted for about 60% and 16%, respectively, of the total ingested dose.
5 The absorption of
DMSO by monkeys appears similar to that for humans, but its conversion to dimethyl sulfone and its urinary elimination are more rapid in monkeys.

PENETRATION
There are four principal variables that influence the penetration of a solute through any given membrane: (1) the diffusion coefficient through the membrane, (2) the con -
centration of the agent in the vehicle, (3) the partition coefficient between the mem -
brane and the vehicle, and (4) the thickness of the membrane barrier.
6 Penetration
agents are designed to affect one or more of these variables without causing perma -
nent structural or chemical modification of the physiological barrier. Alteration of membrane thickness is less practical for drug delivery (it is difficult to conceive of nontoxic agents that could reversibly decrease the thickness of the stratum corneum), so most penetration agents, including DMSO, attempt to reversibly alter variables 1–3 given earlier.
There is some evidence to suggest that DMSO can increase diffusion through the
stratum corneum by disruption of the barrier function.

aprotic interactions with intercellular lipids and may also include reversible distor

Academies.
I	have	been,	for	the	most	part,	a	very	grateful	person	all	my	life,	but	it’s	only
been	in	the	last	few	years	that	I’ve	come	to	know	the	concept	of	gratitude	in	a
larger,	fuller	meaning.	I	have	lived	what	many	people	would	call	a	“charmed
life.”	I	had	a	happy	upbringing,	a	wonderful	education,	and	I	have	found
success	in	my	chosen	career.	I	have	not	achieved	all	that	I	have	coveted	as
yet,	and,	like	most	people,	I	experience	the	pain	and	heartaches,	the	joys	and
exhilaration	of	this	wonderment	called	“life,”	but	I	am	fortunate	that	I	possess
many	good	and	loving	friends.	I	have	much	to	be	grateful	for,	yet	one	day	I
realized	that	there	was	something	I	didn’t	know:	true	gratitude.
The	meaning	of	gratitude	changed	for	me	when	I	began	to	look	at	the	“great
force	of	all	life”—beyond	my	taught	perception	of	God.	A	dear	friend	of	mine
referred	to	that	force	as	God/Goddess/All	That	Is.	Up	to	that	time,	the	concept
of	a	Mrs.	God	was	only	familiar	in	the	Goddess	stories	I	was	taught	as	a	child
about	ancient	Greece.	My	friend	was	talking	about	a	“feminine	force”	that
together	with	God	gave	“birth”	to	all	material	matter—our	physical	Universe.
It	wasn’t	until	I	took	this	concept	(which	is	all	“one”	force)	called
God/Goddess/All	That	Is	and	examined	it	for	myself,	that	my	concept	of	true
gratitude	expanded	immensely.	I	realized	through	this	study	that	the	feminine
principle	of	the	Goddess	was	first—that	it	was	the	Goddess	who	created,	orbrought	forth,	God,	and	together	they	created	ALL	THAT	IS.
I	know	that	this	does	not	fit	in	with	the	chauvinistic,	traditional	religious	view
of	God.	Most	of	the	world’s	religions	don’t	even	acknowledge	a	Goddess
energy	at	all.	And	if	they	do,	in	whatever	form,	She	definitely	came	after	God
Himself.	The	idea	of	the	Goddess	giving	“life	itself	to	God,	I	had	never	heard
at	all,	anywhere.	Whether	this	idea	is	wrong	or	right,	the	product	of	just
considering	it	suddenly	gave	me	a	whole	new	realization	of	what	true
gratitude	must	really	be	like.	For	the	first	time,	I	saw	what	I	believed	to	be
God’s	gratitude—His	gratitude	to	the	Goddess	for	His	own	creation.
I	thought	to	myself,	and	I	felt	for	myself,	the	immense	scope	of	love	and
gratitude	that	God	must	feel.	It	was	then	that	I	truly	realized	that	“life	itself	is
a	gift.	My	life	was,	and	is,	a	gift.	The	immense	gratitude	that	poured	out	from
this	realization	was	colossal.	I	thought,	If	I	could	somehow	feel	the	same
gratitude	for	my	life	that	God	Himself	had	for	His	own	gift	of	life,	then
everything	I	was,	everything	I	did,	everything	I	touched,	would	have	a	new
and	more	special	meaning.
Some	people	whom	I	knew	back	in	my	college	days	were	cynical.	They
would	say,	“God	is	dead,”	or	“God	does	not	exist.”	I	always	felt	that	they
were	talking	about	themselves.	That	is,	something	within	them	didn’t	exist,
and	they	knew	it.

is	the	world	that	will	end…a	beautiful	world	at	that.”	She	went	on	to	explain,
“On	the	contrary,	I	love	the	word

My	dear	friend	Lazaris	has	said,	“Life	is	a	gift,	and	our	job	is	to	learn	to
receive	it.”	For	me,	life	is	a	gift,	and	gratitude	is	its	magnet.	With	my	friend’s
permission,	I	would	love	to	end	my	thoughts	with	what	Lazaris	has	expressed:
“Gratitude	is	a	tangible	force.	The	more	you	feel	it,	the	more	reasons	you	will
find	to	feel	it.	Gratitude	is	a	miraculous	force,	like	a	magical	magnet,
generating	and	then	attracting	so	much	more	than	you	have	already	received.
It	is	like	a	living	energy,	clearing	the	way	for	you	to	become	so	much	more
than	you	have	already	experienced.”

see	others	more	clearly.	Now	I	have	perspective	on	the	crowd	even	though	I

gratitude	on	a	daily	basis.	If	something	good	happens,	they	are	grateful.	If	a

 of millions of cells bathed in an electrolytic
solution consisting of organic calcium, magnesium,
potassium, sodium and phosphorus, etc., with trace
amounts of copper and zinc. These are all organic
minerals. The body cannot use inorganic minerals for
building its cells. These electrolytes are held in solution
by water, which makes up 70% of the body. For this
reason, we can live without food for long periods, but
we can only live about 72 hours without water. So you can see how important it is that the body not only gets
sufficient water, but the right kind of water. Distilled
water is important for super health and longevity!
The vast majority of people drink or dinar y tap water
laced with chemicals and inorganic minerals. The body
can make no selections for itself, but must accept what
you put into it. When you give the body water that is
heavily loaded with chemicals and inorganic minerals,
the body has to do something with these poisons. It
therefore stores them in your arteries, veins, joints, eyes,
ears, nose, throat, gallbladder and other vital organs.
Our Bodies Can Only Endure So Much

Because the body is such a wonderful instrument, it
can take a great deal of punishment and still function.
For many years the body seems to handle the situation.
But the day finally arrives when the poisons you have
loaded into your body begin to give you trouble – real
trouble: increasing pain, suffering, miser y and agony!
Those people who have laughed in Mother Natur e’s
and God’ s faces now cr y out in pain, “Help me! Save me
from my terrible suffering!” These are the people who
want a cure. A cure? No one can cure you of anything!
Only the basic biological functions of the body can
perform a cure. Don’ t wait until pain strikes to star t

then. T oday is the day to outline a health pr ogram for
yourself and live by it faithfully hereafter.
You get only one body during your lifetime. If you
want to live in health and freedom from suffering, you
must faithfully follow the Health Laws of Mother Nature
and God. These are good laws. They want you to have a
painless, tireless, ageless body. It’s your birthright to feel
the thrill of joyous living ever y day of your life!

problems associated with the pain disappeared. – F. Batmanghelidj, M.D. By following Mother Natur e’s and God’ s great and

Longfellow says that “In youth the heart exults and
sings!” This suggests the idea that beyond certain
prescribed years the heart does not exult and sing.
Youth, in its crudest sense, does not refer to years
but to a state of being. It r eally is a matter of one’ s own
choice, if one is born with a normal constitution, as to
128	 when youth shall end and “middle age” begin. Some
people can truly be referred to as youthful although they
may have seen sixty or more years.
Every normal person really has a desire to remain
youthful, but few are willing to pay the price. The price
of prolonged youthfulness is the consistent faithful
performance of certain healthy lifestyle habits.
These healthy lifestyle habits are: staying away from
chemicalized drinking water full of inorganic minerals;
eating no salt; drinking ample amounts of distilled
water; eating a healthy, well-balanced, natural diet;
consistent daily exer cise; deep power breathing; good
personal hygiene; and thinking positively. Without a
healthy body, one cannot maintain positive thinking!
You now know that the most destructive for ce that
robs you of youthful good health consists of a gradual
settling of insoluble inorganic mineral matter from water
and salt into the tissues of your body. This encrustation
begins first on the walls of the arteries, gradually
diminishing their elasticity and caliber as well as the
nourishment of the tissues they supply. As a consequence The choice of which r oad to take is up to the individual. He alone
can decide whether he wants to r each a dead end or live a healthy,
wholesome, long, happy, active life. – Paul C. Bragg, N.D., Ph.D.
of these destructive changes, all body functions slow
down more and more until some vital organ stops
altogether and death occurs from premature ageing. The
beginning of corrosion and the subsequent hardening
of the arteries are the first stages of premature ageing,
129
no matter how long a person has lived!
Your life-long work is the battle to keep your ar teries
free from the inorganic minerals and toxic chemicals
contained in most drinking water. Stop using table salt
and eat a balanced diet that does not leave a residue of
toxic cr ystals to clog and obstr uct your cir culation.
You now know what we know... the shocking truth
about water... and what we believe to be the world’ s
best-kept health secret. Let’ s really make life a healthful,
vigorous adventure! Health and happiness are our goals.
Health is our wealth! There are no failures possible for
those who start today and move steadily onward
in their quest for perfect, youthful health!
To maintain and enjoy good health, the body must be exercised properly
(stretching, walking, jogging, running, biking, swimming, deep breathing, good posture,
etc.) and nourished wisely (with natural organic foods), so to maintain a normal weight
and increase the good life of radiant health, joy and happiness.  – Paul C. Bragg, N.D., Ph.D.
I have found perfect health, a new state of existence, a feeling of purity and happiness,
something unknown to humans! – Novelist Upton Sinclair, a frequent faster Benefit f rom Natural Foods Rich in Calcium
