 increased by being regularly exposed to high concentrations of prana.
Wilhelm Reich in his book The Cancer Biopathy describes his research into the effect of prana on cancer development and treatment.
He shows how cancer cells originat e from body cells that are deﬁcient in prana and how cancer cells are destroyed by blood cells
that are highly charged with prana.
Prana is high in green surroundings and especially tree-clad hilltops and mountains. It is high in the air on sunny days but low on dull
days or at night. It is exceptionally concentrated in rainwater collected after a heavy shower on a sunny day. Use such highly charged
rainwater for washing and drinking. In polluted areas purify it with a jug-type carbon ﬁlter before ingestion. In addition, fresh rainwater
and especially from thunderstorms, has a beneﬁcial negative electric charge, but this is discharged and lost if the rainwater comes in
contact with a metal.
Prana is much enriched in cascading sunlit streams and even in artiﬁcia l sunlit cascades. Water can also be improved by exposing it
to sunlight before use. Fresh fruit and vegetables stored in the dark and especially in a refrigerator become much healthier if exposed
to sunlight before eating.
Revitalizing may be the most impor tant task with chronic diseases and especially with cancer and for rejuvenation. Healthy blood
charged with bio-energy readily destroys cancer cells and disease germs. Methods to vitalize are the use of fresh raw juices, walking
barefoot on dewy grass, deep breathing exercises, meditation, energy healing and cultivation, also devices such as magnets, cones
and pyramids.10/30/24, 3:01 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Bio-energies
https://health-science-spirit.com/Energies/Bio-energies.html 3/10Freshly cut grass emits a strong radiation of bio-energy. In a similar way, a 'hay cure' was formerly used with good results as a folk
remedy for many diseases. The patient was immersed for hours in freshly cut hay or sometimes in fresh leaves. Kirlian photography
shows that cut leaves and grasses lose most of their prana within a few hours. This outpouring energy can be used to radiate a tumor
or a weak organ with a strong charg e of prana by keeping a pack of freshly cut grass over the area in contact with the skin. The pack
should be renewed every few hours.
Morning dew on fresh grass is another source of highly concentrated prana. Walk on it barefoot for 10-20 minutes, rub the dew with
your hands onto your bare skin all over the body or if warm enough even roll with bare skin in the dewy grass. When walking barefoot
on green grass psychics can see an expansion of the aura.
It is equally important to conserve our bio-energy by living in or visiting surroundings high in bio-energy, generally those in sunny
locations and with luxurious plant growth, but also in the mountains or at the seashore. Some individuals claim to have lived on prana
in the mountains but that would not normally be possible in a city. Males lose much bio-energy through ejaculation and should
minimize such loss in case of cancer, AIDS and other debilitating diseases. Instead they may try Karezza-type (caressing with slow
movements) lovemaking.
Basically there are 5 main sources of bio-energy:
•  the recharging of our etheric body during deep sleep;
•  through ingesting fresh raw food, juices and charged water;
•  breathing prana-rich air;
•  through meditation and guided imagery;
•  stepped-down energy entering directly through the chakra system, especially the crown chakra.
A high body charge of prana, visible to psychics as a strong and clear aura, is a main requirement for overcoming chronic diseases.
Therefore, improve your changes of recovery by exposing yourself to high concentrations of prana in any or several of these
indicated ways. If you have the opportunity, visit also known ancient or natural power spots or high-energy areas.
However, there is also bad, negative  and potentially dangerous bio-energy. This is associated with diseased and polluted conditions,
also with radioactivity. It appears that healthy bio-energy is moving or spinning at a certain frequency. When bio-energy stagnates, as
with energy blocks in our body, it becomes more dense and with a slower vibration or spin. This negative energy not only acts to
maintain a diseased state, it may also be absorbed by an unsuspecting healer and then cause health problems in his or her body.
Flowing water is a great cleanser and may be used in different way to remove negative energy. In addition to recharging our energies,
walking on green grass, especially when moist, is a great cleanser. It helps to draw out stagnant bio-energy and static electricity and
may balance our internal ion distribution.
Vivaxis Energies
Vivaxis is a term coined by Frances Nixon for etheric energy beams that link us to speciﬁc locations. The most important one of these
is our birth vivaxis, linking us to key energy points near the place of our birth in a two-way circuit. Perhaps migrating birds and insects
ﬁnd their distant destinations by being able to sense and follow these vivaxis beams. This would also explain how dogs sometimes
cover hundreds of miles of unknown territory to unexpectedly turn up at their owner's house. In addition, there are Earth beams
circling our planet. These contain the frequencies of all the elements necessary for life and are related to our individual energy ﬁelds
by our vivaxis energies.
Health problems may arise if our energy absorption from these essential energy beams is disturbed. This may happen as a general
planetary condition after nuclear testing or, on a more individual scale, if we live in dwellings encased by metal (for example,
aluminum coating or insulation, steel-reinforced concrete, wire mesh). Furthermore, our internal energy receptors may become
disturbed after exposure to X-rays or other strong electromagnetic radiation, by wrongly applied strong magnets, prolonged mental
stress, by marijuana, vibrating tools, infrasonic waves, environmental imbalances, pesticides as well as toxic chemicals in various
drugs, foods and cosmetics.
Foreign vivaxes to which we may become linked can be created by hypnotism, strong magnets, electrical acupuncture treatment and
pulse-wave machines, accidentally received electric shocks, and even contact healing and reﬂexology and acupressure, especially if
a therapist exerts strong pressure, on bilateral points. Some of these foreign vivaxes can disturb our natural-force ﬂows before they
gradually disappear. On a certain energy level we seem to remain linked to everyone whom we ever touched.
CULTIVATING THE ENERGY
For increasing or maintaining our health and vitality it is advisable to work directly with our life-force, cultivating it as the Chinese
masters say. There are two main aspects to this energy cultivation. First we learn to accumulate bio-energy or prana and then we
practice circulating it through our body. Our main energy intake and distribution system is the chakra system. Chakras are
comparable to major power stations while the acupuncture meridians may be seen as the main power transmission lines.
THE CHAKRA  SYSTEM10/30/24, 3:01 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Bio-energies
https://health-science-spirit.com/Energies/Bio-energies.html 4/10Fig. 2: The Main Chakras
Chakras are vortex-like energy centers. Commonly seven major chakras are mentioned, six of which are rooted in the spine and one
at the top of the head. We receive a main intake of chakra energies throu gh the crown chakra from where it ﬂows from one chakra to
the other, being modiﬁed, used and condensed, and ﬁnally ﬂows through the acupuncture meridians which, in turn, nourish the
internal organs and muscles.
A health problem in a certain area of the body is usually associated with a disturbed function of the chakra governing this region.
Normalizing and harmonizing our chakra functions is important for the healing of speciﬁc aspects as well as for increasing our
available energy in general and for becoming whole and balanced.
Functioning like a prism, the chakra  system separates the incoming white etheric light into the seven etheric rainbow colors. Each
color is of special importance for the glands and organs situated near the corresponding chakra. During meditation and relaxation
exercises you may visualize these glands and organs bathed in their designated chakra colors.
The characteristics of the seven main chakras can be seen from the following table. In addition, there are many more secondary
chakras, important are especially the spleen chakra, one over the thymus  gland and for energy transfer also those in the palms of the
hands. Furthermore, each of the higher or ﬁner energy bodies, such as the emotional or astral and the mental body have their own
chakra system with dif ferent colors and other characteristics.
The corresponding chakras in the different bodies are interconnected. The more we spiritually develop, the greater becomes the
exchange of energy between the different bodies, generally the energy ﬂowing from the ﬁner to the denser bodies. An excellent set of
books on energy healing, energy bodies and the chakra systems are Hands of Light and Light Emerging by Barbara Ann Brennan
(Bantam).

 was a small health-food store on Long Island that became a great
success, to everyone’ s amazeme nt. The secret of the owner ’s success was
one simple thing : She enlar ged the ladies’  room. In it she provided a semi-enclosed comfortable area with carpet and a shelf with a rail around it so
that mothers could change their babies’  diapers. Soon all the mothers
around heard about this place and went shopping there because the place
“cares about mothers.” They paid $3 for a box of organic oatmeal that they
could have gotten for roughly a third of the price at the super market, and
they were happy to do it.
The only thing that the store did differently was exhibit genuine
thoughtfulness and care. There was a small play area for the older kids with
various toys in it. If kids are bored, they’ll pull at their mothers’  clothes and
whine, “Let’s go, Mom, I’m bored.” She’ll then skip a couple of purchases
she otherwise would have made. Provision for comfort is, there fore, a part
of being heart-hearted.
Step 5: To check out if we are coming from ABC rather  than A→ B→
C, we need to ask ourselves how much of our success is going to come
from attraction and how much is going to come from promotion.  Keep
in mind  that promotion with aggressive, forceful, outgoing marketing and
sales pitches is all very outer directed and costs money, takes time and
energy, and is expensive. It is not that those strategies don’t bring results,
but the cost of them has to be taken into account. Attraction, on the other
hand, takes no time, energy, effort, or money. It is not in the world of A→
B→ C; rather, it is in the world of ABC. What in the promotion of our
product, business, idea, or profession is going to have pulling  power and
win for us ef fortlessly by the sheer power of attraction?
Promotion is coming from force. The rule of the universe is that force
meets with counterforce. Persuasion meets with sales resistance. Repetition
leads to boredom. The more money we spend on promotion, the more we’re
going to have to raise our price. Hence, we eventually create a price-
resistance ceilin g and narrow the gap between our product and that of our
competitor.
What attracts, promotes, and builds our success without any time, energy,
or effort? Our reputation.  Not a fake image that we hire some marketing
company to fabricate, but the genuineness of our endeavor, which shines
forth and is evident to everyone in everything we do. The ABC that we hold
in mind is the magnet that has the pulling power. It doesn’ t cost us anything.
If we have a good reputation in the industry, headhunters will come looking
for us to pave our way for better of fers.Did it ever dawn on us that the top-notch experts in the world never
advertise? As a matter of fact, their telephone numbers are not even listed in
any directory. They’re already loaded to the gills with clients, prospects,
customers, patie nts, board members, honors, and titles. They need more
business like a hole in the head.
I know what I’m talking about here. Not only among people I’ve
counseled and patients I’ve treated in the business for which I’ve been a
consultant, but in my own personal life, I’ve made many milli ons without
ever spending one nickel on advertising or promotion or self-a dvancement
in any way whatsoever. If we’re  doing a good job, people will search us out.
That doesn’t mean we shouldn’ t let them know that we’re there and what
service we have available, what our specials are this week, and what our
hours are—but to depend on promotion is imbalanced. It’s an old axiom in
business that a satisfied customer is our best advertisement. Everyone says,
“Yes, I know that,” and then proceeds to ignore it.
A good rule of thumb is to ask ourselves whether the temptation to take a
certain shortcut is worth the risk of ruining our business. Let’s take a little
seemingly unimportant cutting-the-corner example of yesterday’ s
doughnuts. At the close of the day we still have a dozen and a half
doughnuts; the next day we put them in the glass case along with today’ s
doughnuts. If instead we had said, “yesterday’ s doughnuts,” with a sign that
cut the price, we would sell them all and not take any risk to our business if
the doug hnuts weren’ t complete ly up to snuff. The customer wouldn’ t have
any complaints because they were plainly marked “yesterday’ s doughnuts.”
If we put them in the showcase  and sell them as today’ s doughnuts, we
may make an extra dollar. But when the customer complains to the family,
“Hmm... there’ s someth ing about these doughnuts. They’re a
disappointment. They’re not the same as usual,” we’ll have ruined our
reputation with one family. And that family has friends and relatives.
We must never take a shortcut that is going to impair our reputa tion. One
way to ensure this is to always give our customers greater credit than we’re
willing to allow them ordinaril y. If we assume that our customers know
what’ s going on, then we’ll be right. People “just know,” even though they
can’t say what it is.
For example, I use to sell eggs. Not a lot; it was a small number. Even so,
if I missed collecting an egg in the chicken coop and didn’ t discover it until
the next day, I never put it in the box with the other eggs. I set it aside in therefrigerator for myself. I knew that I could leave an egg in the chicken coop
for a couple of days and it won’t make any difference to its freshness. But
the fact that it missed one day of refrigeration made a dif ference.
When we cut corners, everyone knows. They don’t know how they know,
but they know. Very often they’re dead right. Now, I’m sure I could have
gotten away for a short time putting older eggs in with the fresher ones. And
then one day at breakfast some  mother would be saying to her family, “I
don’t know; these Happy Chicken Eggery eggs somehow don’t taste the
same as they used to taste.” Making an extra nickel is not worth losing a
good customer.
Rationalizing and departing from quality originates from force in such
quotes as, “What they don’t know won’ t hurt them.” That’ s true. What they
don’t know won’t hurt them—but it sure will hurt us. They won’ t know it
consciously; however, as I mentioned before, they do know it
unconsciously.
There are lots of businesses that we won’ t deal with anymore. If asked
why, we really wouldn’ t know the answer, other than it doesn’ t appeal to us
anymore. “I don’t know,” we’d  say, “I just never think of going there.”
Research is part of what we must use to uncover or discover exactly what
about the business was of such a nature that our minds refused to even
consider.
Step 6: Keep in mind that one of the greatest ingredients of success is
people knowin g that they can count on us in various ways.  Such a
simple thing as changing hours can lose all kinds of customers. I had a
favorite little restaurant in town  that I used to eat breakfast at several times
a week. I also went every Thursday night for dinner because they had
chicken and dumplings—it was all-you-can-eat for a reasonable price. The
first crime they committed was when they stopped having chicken and
dumplings. I resented it, so I quit going there on Thursday nights. The next
crime they comm itted was when I went there on another evening for dinner,
and there was a sign on the door that said: CLOSED AT 3 P.M. DURING  JULY FOR
SUMMER HOURS.  “Well, the heck with it,” I said. I didn’ t go back to that
restaurant again  until fall. I remember specifically, I went on a Tuesday
night (notice how customers remember all the seemingly “trivial” details)
only to find out that they were now closed on Tuesdays. I never went back
again.It’s important to avoid all those little turnof fs—the answering machine
that doesn’ t work, the impolite receptionist, the dirty carpet in the restaurant
—and ask how available we are to provide what is needed in the world. I’ve
seen so many businesses fold that are open weekdays only and close at 5
P.M. As everyone who has jobs and money works from nine until five, to
whom do they expect to sell? Vacationers? Pensioners? That hoped-for
customer of a bygone era? The unemployed? I used to counsel a lot of
young doctors going into practice who came for advice on how to get
established. I always told them, “Start by charging fees that people can
afford and be available evenings and Saturdays.”
How much is convenience worth to people? The answer is: plenty. The
success of the whole convenience-store phenomenon is proof of that.

	this	kind.

In	an	article	in	The	Journal	of	the	American	Medical	Association,	(July	3,	1926,

p.	45.)	on	"NERVOUS	DISTURBANCES	AND	SMALLPOX

VACCINATION,"	is	stated,	"In	regions	in	which	there	is	no	organized

vaccination	of	the	population,	general	paralysis	is	rare.	In	patients	with	general

paralysis,	he	(Dr.	Daraskwiewiez)	has	never	seen	smallpox	scars,	but	smallpox

vaccination	scars	were	always	present."	Various	physicians	agreed	that,	"It	is

impossible	to	deny	a	connection	between	vaccination	and	the	encephalitis	which

follows	it."	(emphasis	supplied)

In	England	(1923-1925)	an	intensive	vaccination	campaign	was	carried	out

which	caused	a	steady	increase	in	the	cases	of	Encephalitis-Lethargica	and

similar	diseases	until	in	1924	there	were	6,296	reported	cases	with	un-estimated

thousands	of	unreported	cases.	Liverpool	was	at	least	50%	better	vaccinated	than

the	rest	of	England	and	had	about	100%	more	encephalitis.	The	physicians	tried

to	direct	blame	away	from	vaccination	by	claiming	that	the	diseases	were	due	to

"latent	infection,"	"inherited	weakness,"	or	"special	susceptibility."

POLIO	NOT	CAUSED	BY	LIVING	VIRUS
	The	word	poliomyelitis	was	coined	from	the	Greek	words	"polios"	meaning

gray,	and	"myelos"	meaning	marrow,	plus	"itis"	meaning	inflammation.	Thus	the

word	means	inflammation	of	the	gray	matter	of	the	spinal	cord	or	brain	or

wherever	gray	matter	is	to	be	found.	Every	cell	of	the	body	contains	a	small

amount	of	gray	matter	but	it	is	more	concentrated	in	the	brain	and	spinal	cord.

Inflammation	results	from	poisoning,	irritation	and	obstructions	that	interfere

with	normal	functioning.	This	damage,	decay	and	disintegration	of	cell	structure

may	terminate	in	paralysis	or	death	without	any	invasion	of	viruses	or	germs.

Isolated	germs	have	never	been	known	to	attack	and	cause	decay	and	disease	of

any	part	of	the	body.	It	is	the	corrosive	poison	products	of	decay	that	form	the

body	of	the	vaccine	that	does	the	damage	and	causes	the	disease.	Germs,

bacteria	and	other	such	organisms	are	a	part	of	decayed	substance;	they	evolve

from	it	and	are	necessary	ingredients	in	the	life	process	of	eternal	change	and

conversion	from	one	form	of	life	to	a	related	one.	Vaccine	poisoning	is	just	one

of	a	number	of	causes	of	polio	and	other	diseases.	The	section	on	OTHER

CAUSES	OF	POLIO	will	deal	with	the	other	main	causes.	Our	concern	in	this

section	is	to	show	that	viruses	do	not	cause	polio.

Since	VIRUS	has	been	medically	designated	as	the	"official"	cause	of	polio	we

should	first	of	all	agree	upon	some	stable	definition	of	the	term.	Some

dictionaries	define	virus	as	a	poison.	If	this	were	the	accepted	definition	it	would

be	possible	for	us	to	see	the	connection	between	virus	and	polio.	But	the

physicians	and	serum	makers	prefer	to	imagine	a	virus	that	can	fly	around	in	the

air	and	attack	people.	Any	other	kind	of	a	virus	could	not	be	made	to	frighten

people	into	making	large	donations	and	in	being	vaccinated	in	the	hope	of

protecting	against	it.	Without	an	"airborne"	virus	to	play	with,	the	whole	vaccine

racket	would	collapse.

Therefore,	the	people	are	constantly	reminded	that	polio	is	"catching"	and	they

must	have	anti-polio	"shots"	that	are	intended	to	build	up	"antibodies"	(which

are	also	mythical	suppositions).	Although	the	promoters	of	the	virus	theory	of

polio	insist	that	viruses	are	living	organisms	that	fly	around	in	the	air	and	cause

polio,	this	has	never	been	proved.	This	unscientific,	unsound,	and

undemonstrated	virus	theory	of	causation	not	only	has	no	value,	but	it	might

safely	be	said	that	it	has	had	the	opposite	effect.	The	rapid	and	ungoverned

spread	of	polio	is	largely	due	to	the	misplaced	confidence	in	the	wrong	belief.

The	popular	practice	of	combating	a	false	theory,	not	only	leaves	the	disease

unchecked	but	it	directs	the	attention	away	from	the	real	causes	and	discourages

true	investigation.
WHAT	IS	A	VIRUS?

The	1940	Medical	Dictionary	defines	virus	as	"the	specific	living	principle	by

which	an	infectious	disease	is	transmitted."

This	definition	is	vague	and	meaningless	because	there	is	no	such	thing	as	a

"living"	principle.	According	to	the	dictionaries,	a	principle	is	a	rule,	truth,	law

etc.	and	is	not	a	living	entity.

The	Scientific	Encyclopedia	says	viruses	have	been	obtained	for

experimentation	by	means	of	extremely	powerful	centrifuges	which	must	be

specially	built.	In	the	same	article	it	is	stated	that	viruses	are	so	small	that	they

cannot	be	seen	by	the	most	powerful	microscopes.	Then	how	do	they	know	they

produced	any?	Or	is	this	game	of	hide	and	seek	just	another	means	of	using	up

the	millions	of	dollars	contributed	to	the	March	of	Dimes	program?

The	Modern	Encyclopedia,	(1944)	says	in	part	"A	virus	differs	from	a	bacterium

in	that	the	latter	can	live	and	reproduce	itself	in	an	artificial	culture	such	as	beef

broth,	whereas	a	virus	must	live	inside	a	living	cell.	It	is	because	of	the

protection	which	the	living	cell	affords	a	virus	that	serums	are	of	no	value	in	the

treatment	of	virus	diseases."
This	shows	us	that	as	far	back	as	1944	it	was	known	that	virus	vaccines	have	no

value	in	treating	disease.	Yet	these	succeeding	10	years	have	seen	more	millions

of	dollars	squandered	and	more	monkeys	and	other	animals	and	people	tortured

and	killed	and	more	propaganda	built	on	the	false	premise	that	viruses	cause

polio,	than	ever	before.

Webster’s	Dictionary	refers	to	virus	as	a	"slimy	or	poisonous	liquid".	Pus	is	a

slimy	poisonous	liquid	and	forms	where	there	is	inflammation	and	disintegration

of	tissue.	This	breakdown	and	disintegration	of	life	cells	is	not	a	result	of

invasion	of	germs	or	viruses	but	is	due	to	the	interference	with	the	chemical

balance	that	holds	the	structure	in	a	state	of	normal	functioning.	When	poisons

from	such	things	as	vaccines,	drugs,	narcotics,	contaminated	and	devitalized

foods	etc.	cause	degeneration	of	the	cells	and	disease,	the	condition	is	usually

labeled	according	to	the	location	of	the	most	decay.	For	instance,	when	there	is

inflammation	of	the	kidney	it	is	called	Bright’s	Disease;	if	it	is	in	the	joints,	it	is

arthritis,	in	the	stomach	it	is	ulcers,	in	the	lungs,	we	call	it	tuberculosis,	in	the

pancreas,	it	is	diabetes	and	when	there	is	inflammation	of	the	brain	and	spinal
	cord	affecting	the	nerves	and	muscles	it	is	called	POLIO


 reassessment was actually inspired by
an unlucky event, a motorcycle accident. I was on my way to present a
lecture when I went of f a curb at high speed. The bike wound up upside
down. Luckily I was wearing a helmet because I sustained a major blow
to my head when the bike hit the ground. I was unconscious for half an
hour and for a while my students and colleagues thought I was dead.
When I came to, I felt as if I had broken every bone in my body.
For the next few days I could hardly walk, and when doing so, I
resembled a yelping version of Quasimodo. Every step was a painful
reminder that “speed kills.” As I creaked out of the classroom one
afternoon, one of my students suggested that it might help if I visited his
roommate, a fellow student, who was also a chiropractor. As I explained
in the last chapter, I not only had never been to a chiropractor, I had been
taught by my allopathic community to shun chiropractors as quacks. But
when you’re in that much pain and you’re in an unfamiliar setting, you
wind up trying things you would never consider in your cushier
moments.
At the chiropractor ’ s make shift dormitory “of fice” I was introduced
for the first time to kinesiology, popularly known as muscle testing. The
chiropractor told me to hold out my arm and resist the downward
pressure he applied to it. I had no problem resisting the light force he put
on my arm. Then he asked me to hold out my arm and resist him again
while I said, “My name is Bruce.” Again, I had no trouble resisting him,
but by now I was starting to think that the admonishments of my
academic colleagues were right on the mark—“This is nuts!” Then, the
chiropractor told me to hold out my arm and resist his pressure while
saying earnestly, “My name is Mary.” T o my amazement, my arm
flopped down, despite my strong resistance. “Now wait a minute,” I said.
“I must not have been resisting enough, try that again.” So we did, and
this time I concentrated even more forcefully on resisting. Nevertheless,
after repeating, “My name is Mary,” my arm sunk like a stone. This
student, who was now my  teacher, explained that when your conscious
mind has a belief that is in conflict with a formerly learned “truth” storedin the subconscious mind, the intellectual conflict expresses itself as a
weakening of the body’ s muscles.
T o my astonishment, I realized that my conscious mind, which I
exercised so confidently in academic settings, was not in control when I
voiced an opinion that dif fered from a truth stored in the unconscious
mind. My unconscious mind was undoing the best ef forts of my
conscious mind to hold up my arm when I claimed my name was Mary. I
was amazed to discover that there was another “mind,” another force that
was co-piloting my life. More shocking was the fact that this hidden
mind, the mind I knew little about (except theoretically in psychology)
was actually more powerful than my conscious mind, just as Freud had
claimed. All in all, my first visit to a chiropractor turned out to be a life-
changing experience. I learned that chiropractors could tap into the
body’ s innate healing power using kinesiology to tar get spinal
misalignments. I was able to saunter out of that dorm feeling like a new
man after a few simple, vertebral adjustments on the “quack’ s” table …
all without the use of drugs. And most importantly, I was introduced to
the “man behind the curtain,” my subconscious mind!
As I left the campus, my conscious mind was awhirl over the
implications of the superior power of my formerly hidden subconscious
mind. I also coupled those musings with my study of quantum physics,
which taught me that thoughts could propel behavior more ef ficiently
than physical molecules. My subconscious “knew” that my name was
not Mary and balked at my insistence that it was. What else did my
subconscious mind “know,” and how had it learned it?
T o understand better what had happened in that chiropractor ’ s of fice, I
first turned to comparative neuroanatomy which reveals that the lower an
or ganism is on the T ree of Evolution, the less developed its nervous
system and thus the more it relies on preprogrammed behavior (nature).
Moths fly toward the light, sea turtles return to specific islands and lay
their eggs on the beach at the appropriate time, and the swallows return
to Capistrano on a specific date, yet, as far as we know, none of these
or ganisms have any knowledge of why they engage in those behaviors.
The behaviors are innate; they are genetically built into the or ganism and
are classified as instincts.
Or ganisms higher in the T ree have more complexly integrated nervous
systems headed by bigger and bigger brains that allow them to acquireintricate behavioral patterns through experiential learning (nurture). The
complexity of this environmental learning mechanism presumably
culminates with humans, who are at the top, or at least near the top, of
the T ree. T o quote anthropologists Emily A. Schultz and Robert H.
Lavenda: “Human beings are more dependent on learning for survival
than other species. W e have no instincts that automatically protect us and
find us food and shelter, for example.” (Schultz and Lavenda 1987)
W e do have, of course, behavioral instincts that are innate—consider
the infant’ s instinct to suckle, to quickly move his hand away from fire,
and to automatically swim when placed in water. Instincts are built-in
behaviors that are fundamental to the survival of all humans,
independent of what culture they belong to or what time in human
history they were born. W e are born with the ability to swim; infants can
swim like graceful porpoises moments after they are born. But children
quickly acquire a fear of water from their parents—observe the response
of parents when their unattended child ventures near a pool or other open
water. Children learn from their parents that water is dangerous. Parents
must later struggle to teach Johnny how to swim. Their first big ef fort is
focused on overcoming the fear of water they instilled in earlier years.
But through evolution, our learned  perceptions have become more
powerful, especially because they can override genetically programmed
instincts. The body’ s physiological mechanisms (e.g., heart rate, blood
pressure, blood flow/bleeding patterns, body temperature) are, by their
nature, programmed instincts. However, yogis as well as everyday
people using biofeedback can learn  to consciously regulate these
“innate” functions.
Scientists have focused on our big brains as the reason for our ability
to learn such complex behavior. However, we should temper our
enthusiasm for the big brain theory by considering that cetaceans
(porpoises and dolphins) have a greater cerebral surface area packed into
their craniums than we do.
And the findings of British neurologist Dr. John Lorber, highlighted in
a 1980 article in Science  “Is your Brain Really Necessary?” also call into
question the notion that the size of the brain is the most important
consideration for human intelligence. (Lewin 1980) Lorber studied many
cases of hydrocephalus (“water on the brain”) and concluded that even
when most of the brain’ s cerebral cortex, the brain’ s outer layer, ismissing, patients can live normal lives. Science  writer Roger Lewin
quotes Lorber in his article:
There’ s a young student at this university (Shef field Uni-versity)
who has an IQ of 126, has gained a first-class honors degree in
mathematics, and is socially completely normal. And yet the boy
has virtually no brain … When we did a brain scan on him, we
saw that instead of the normal 4.5 centimeter thickness of brain
tissue between the ventricles and the cortical surface, there was
just a thin layer of mantle measuring a millimeter or so. His
cranium is filled mainly with cerebrospinal fluid.
Lorber ’ s provocative findings suggest that we need to reconsider our
long-held beliefs about how the brain works and the physical foundation
of human intelligence. I submit in the Epilogue of this book that human
intelligence can only be fully understood when we include spirit
(“ener gy”) or what quantum physics–savvy psychologists call the
“superconscious” mind. But for the moment, I’d like to stick to the
conscious and subconscious minds, concepts that psychologists and
psychiatrists have long grappled with. I’m grappling with it here to
provide the biological foundation for conscious parenting as well as
ener gy-based psychological healing methods.

Let’ s go back to the evolutionary challenge for human beings, who
have to learn so much so quickly to survive and become a part of their
social community. Evolution has endowed our brains with the ability to
rapidly download an unimaginable number of behaviors and beliefs into
our memory. Ongoing


 waters, the
wood cells thru a chemical action similar
to that observed in electro-plating, are
replaced by molecules of minerals, and
petrifaction ensues. In petrified wood,
the form and markings of the original
are distinctly seen. At rare intervals sur
geons find a human kidney that has
actually become petrified-a stone kidney
-ood sometimes in post mortem examina
tions veins are found which are brittle,
and which crumble at the touch. In old
age the various organs are partly petrified
-ossified is the term used in the text
books. But petrifaction is the proper
term. The cells of the muscles, arteries,
etc., are not replaced by osseous deposits,
but by mineral matter.
What is the cause of old age, and how
may it be prevented? Old age is not an
inevitable condition; it is an accidental
state caused by ignorance and wrong liv
ing. The daily press recently chronicled
the case of a.Russian peasant who had
baptismal and marriage records to prove
that he was 200 years old. The United
__ -States census report for 1900 gives the
names of two persons over 150 years of
age. I instance these cases to show that
there is no reason why death should oc
cur from old age, per se. If one person
can live to be one hundred or two hundred
years old, why not another? If the hu
man race lived strictly under a rational
hygienic dispensation, death would never occur from old age, under several hun
dred years.
Suggestion is now mainly responsible
for keeping the limit of life at about
eighty years. Fol"thousands of years man
has been taught that he would die at about
the age of 70; consequently when in the
neighborhood of thia age, man begins to
look for death-to expect death-to be
lieve in death-and he is never disap
pointed. The mineral salt deposits in the
body commence to manifest themselves be
tween 40 and 50 years of age. These salts
are derived mainly from ordinary drink
ing water, altho cereals contribute their
share. The presence of an excess of lime
retards the functions of all organs ; all
processes are hindered; the various bod
ily systems act slowly; this favors the
additional deposits of more salts. The
functions of the organs are still more
restricted. We say the man is "aging
rapidly." As the body becomes weaker
the organs become weaker, and mineral
deposits quickly accumulate. The victim
is rapidly becoming petrified. All organs
are clogged; the vital powers are lowered,
and as the petrifaction proceeds, death
approaches; finally the muscles of the
heart become so dense that their elasticity
is gone and death ends all. When one
dies from "old age," he dies because his
body is partially turned to stone. If we
can keep the percentage of water in the
body at 80 or 85, we will never die of
old age. To maintain the proper pro-

no liquids but distilled water should be
used for drinking or cooking; and fur
thermore, foods containing a high per
centage of mineral salts, 88 cereals5 should

gienic race conditions prevail, man will
live on distilled water, nuts and fruits;
and he will understand the art of masti

hours out of the day; he will spend many

and anxiety; he will not expect death at
any particular year or time, nor will he

The firat step in the physical regenera
tion of the race is a crusade against ordi
nary or "raw" drinking water. When dis
tilled water is universally used humanity
will take a long step forward. It is the
duty of the state to see that only perfect
drinking water is used; we look after cess
pools, drains, noxious odors, plumbing,
adulterated food, etc., and the water sup
ply is more important than all these. If
distilled water was in every home the
board of health would have to go out of
business.
"But a German doctor stated that dis
tilled water is injurious," remarks a read
er. He did, but his statement is false.
His remarks in substance are 88 follows: "By 'chemically pure water' we usually
understand perfectly fresh, distilled water,
whose behavior and properties are well
understood. It withdraws the salts from
the animal tissues and causes the latter to
swell or inflate. Isolated living organic
elements, cells, and all unicellular organ
isms are destroyed in distilled water-they
die, since they become engorged therein.
They lose the faculty, upon which life de
pends, of retaining their salts and other
soluble cell constituents, and consequently
these are allowed to diffuse throughout the
water.
"Distilled water is, therefore, a danger
ous protoplasmic poison. The same poi
sonous effects must occur whenever dis
tilled water is drUnk. The sense of taste
is the first to protest against the use of
this substance. A mouthful of distilled
water, taken by inadvertence, will be spit
out regularly. The water once in the
stomach, the superficial stratum of epithe
lium experiences a powerful distension,
the cella are leached by their salts, die, and
are cast off. This local poisonous effect of
distilled water makes itself known by a
sensation of uneasiness, belching, etc., fur
nishing all the symptoms of a catarrh of
the stomach on a small scale.
"The harmfulness of the process so
much resorted to today, of washing out the
stomach with distilled water, is acknowl
edged; and we find the physicians who for
merly used that agent are now turning to
the 'physiological solution of cooking salt,'
or 'water with a little salt,' or the min
eral waters recommended for the purpose.
The poisonous nature of absolutely pure
water would scarcely. have been recognized
and felt long since, were it not that its
effects in their most marked form can sel
dom occur; for through a train of circum-

stances •absolutely pure' water can rarely
be found."
The attack on the daily use of distilled
water by an alleged Dr. Koppe was in
spired by the owners of mineral springs
in Europe; and it has been stated-that Dr.
Koppe is-a myth. The statements cred
ited to him are a tissue of falsehoods
there is not a word of truth in any of
them. Distilled water has no deleterious ac
tion on living tissue; distilled water is not
poisonous, but the only elixir of life that
will be discovered. It is quite true that
micro-organisms will die if placed in pure
water; they die because there is no refuse
for them to feed on. This is one of the
strongest arguments in favor of distilled
water. When all the fluids of the body
are made up of distilled water there will
be no fear of germs-a disease germ can
not live in a system that is 80 per cent
aqua pura. The mythical d:>~tor's state
ment that absolutely pure water can rarely
be found is as false as the others. In
every large city of the United States abso
lutely pure water is delivered to your door
at prices varying from six to ten cents
per gallon, while in thousands of homes
are small stills which make an abundance
of absolutely pure, aerated and appetizing
water. All health specialists of the ad
vanced and rational schools of nature
therapy today advocate the drinking of
water, from two to three quarts daily;
it is conceded that perfect health-is im
possible without an abundance of water.
It does not need an argument to show
that this water should be pure, and if an
argument were needed the United States
army and navy have supplied that argu
ment beyond cavil.
The great, ever present danger in
"raw" water is not germs-it is the min
eral matter which is not needed in the human body, as sufficient cell· salts are
furnished in a natural form by the solid
