 are
responsible for its healing powers are
antioxidants. Red wine contains several
antioxidants beneficial to good health.
One of the most studied antioxidants isresveratrol, a compound found in the
seeds and skins of grapes. Red wine has a
high concentration of resveratrol because
the skins and seeds ferment in the grape
juices during the wine-making process.
This prolonged contact during
fermentation produces significant levels of
resveratrol in the finished red wine. White
wine also contains resveratrol, but
the
seeds and skins are removed early in the
wine making process, reducing the
concentration of the compound in the
finished white wine.
Found in red wine, peanuts, blueberries
and cranberries, resveratrol is easily
absorbed by the body. Its antioxidant
properties also offer health benefits in theprevention of heart disease and the
reduction of lung tissue inflammation in
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD).
Studies have shown that resveratrol has
the ability to inhibit the process that leads
to the growth and spreading (metastasis)
of cancer. Resveratrol helps to neutralize
the oxidation of free radicals, which keeps
them from penetrating the cell membrane
and destroying the protein and DNA
inside healthy cells. Resveratrol also
shows properties of tumour suppression
by preventing the production of new blood
vessels, which can help limit the growth
of tumours by cutting off their supply of
nutrients.Red wine also contains other antioxidants
such as a flavonoid known as catechin,
which is also present in green tea.
Research indicates that along with
resveratrol, catechin plays an important
role in reducing the risk of heart disease.
Saponins, also found in red wine, olive
oil and soya beans, offer protective
benefits for the heart and are easily
absorbed by the body. Yet another
antioxidant found in red wine, guercetin,
is being studied for its value in the
prevention of lung cancer.
Seaweed
As a food, seaweed is primarily used incertain salads, sushi and other ethnic
oriented cuisines around the world, but
food is not the only way to enjoy the
benefits of seaweed. Studies show a vast
array of overwhelming health benefits.
Not only does seaweed have a wonderful
effect on the thyroid because it normalizes
and stabilizes its function but the benefits
continue. It can also stabilize blood
pressure, lower cholesterol and promote a
healthy intestinal tract. The best nutritional
benefit is, however, that various cancers
among those who regularly consume
seaweed are extremely low.
Seaweeds are algae and have unique
health and nutritional properties. A list of
some of the main types of seaweed andtheir main health benefits follows.
• Nori is rich in iodine and iron, and quite
high in protein. It is also a good source
of vitamins C and A, potassium,
magnesium and riboflavin (B2), and it
is low in fat.
• Dulse is exceptionally nutritious,
containing around 10 to 20 percent
protein and a whole host of vitamins
and minerals, including magnesium,
iron and beta-carotene (which the body
uses to produce vitamin A). It is now
being farmed in Ireland for its health
benefits and for making skin care and
cosmetic products.
• Carrageen or Irish moss (chondrus
cripus) is widely used in all sorts offood products because it has
emulsifying and gelling properties. It is
used to thicken foods and produces a
colourless jelly-like consistency, so it
is used in lots of commercial desserts.
It is also a vegetarian answer to
gelatine. It was traditionally rated in
Ireland as a cold and cough remedy. It
is rich in retinol and minerals.
• Wakame is a green seaweed with a
slippery consistency and an almost
sweet taste. It has a thick band of fibre
in the centre which can be easily cut
out to give a more palatable effect. It
can easily be added in small amounts
to lots of cooked dishes such as stir-
fries and stews, and is also delicious
as a side dish. The Japanese use it aspart of miso soup.
• Kelp (laminaria digitata) is found in
many areas of the world. It is a brown
seaweed with literally thousands of
varieties. It is found in all sorts
of
commercial
 products, from
toothpaste to fertilizer. As it is
exceptionally rich in iodine, it used to
be the main source for preventing
goitre and treating thyroid conditions. It
is still highly rated by naturopaths and
nutritional therapists for that use.
Spinach
Spinach is one of the most beneficial and
healthy vegetables, and is known to be apowerhouse of nutrients among all green
leafy vegetables. It is filled with vitamins,
proteins, antioxidants and essential
nutrients that promote overall good health
and well-being. To get the maximum
health benefits from spinach, it should be
consumed as soon as it is purchased. The
longer it is refrigerated, the fewer
nutrients it contains. When kept in the
fridge for more than a week, fresh spinach
tends to lose almost half its nutrients, so
it’s best to consume it in the shortest
possible time.
Spinach and other dark leafy greens like
kale, collard greens, Swiss chard, turnip
greens and bok choy are loaded with
calcium, folic acid, vitamin K and iron.Spinach is also rich in vitamin C, fibre
and carotenoids. Include its lutein and
bioflavonoid compounds, and spinach is a
nutritional powerhouse. The calcium
content strengthens bones, while the A and
C vitamins plus fibre, folic acid,
magnesium and other nutrients help
control cancer, especially colon, lung and
breast cancers. Folate also lowers the
blood levels of homocysteine, which
helps protect against heart disease.
The flavonoids in spinach help protect
against age-related memory loss. Its secret
weapon is lutein, which makes it one of
the best foods in the world to prevent
cataracts, as well as age-related macular
degeneration, the leading cause ofpreventable blindness in the elderly.
Foods rich in lutein are also thought to
help prevent cancer.
Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes provide an excellent
source of carotenes and the darker
varieties contain a higher concentration.
They also offer a good source of vitamins
B2, B6 and C, manganese, copper, biotin,
pantothenic acid and fibre. Sweet potatoes
contain unique root storage proteins,
which have been shown to have
significant antioxidant effects. Being rich
in dietary fibre, they lower the risk of
constipation, diverticulosis, colon andrectal cancer.
Sweet potatoes have been found to be
helpful in minimizing the risk of heart
disease, diabetes and obesity. Eating
sweet potatoes has been known to help in
avoiding stroke, by bringing down the
harmful effects of low-density cholesterol
and preventing blood clots.
The presence of beta-carotene in sweet
potatoes helps the body fight against free
radicals and thus assists in preventing
cancer. Since they have a low glycemic
index (GI), they can be consumed by those
suffering from diabetes without concern.
The high amount of potassium helps the
body in maintaining fluid and electrolytebalance as well as cell integrity.
Sweet potatoes have been found to be
beneficial for blood purification as well
as lowering of blood pressure. Owing to
the presence of calcium and iron, they
ensure proper blood flow and also
improve bone density. Regular
consumption of sweet potato is good for
stomach ulcers and inflamed condition of
the colon.
Swiss Chard
Swiss chard is a tall, leafy green
vegetable with a thick, crunchy stalk that
comes in white, red or yellow with widefan-like green leaves. Chard belongs to
the same family as beets and spinach, and
shares a similar taste profile. Both the
leaves and stalk are edible, although the
stems vary in texture with the white ones
being the most tender.
The leaves and roots have been the
subject of fascinating health studies. The
combination of traditional nutrients,
phytonutrients (particularly anthocyans)
plus fibre seems particularly effective in
preventing digestive tract cancers. Several
research studies on chard focus
specifically on colon cancer, where the
incidence of precancerous lesions in
animals has been found to be significantly
reduced following dietary intake of swisschard extracts or fibre.
Swiss chard is also a very good source of
copper, calcium, vitamins B1, B2 and B6,
protein, phosphorus, zinc, folate, biotin,
niacin and pantothenic acid.
Tamarind
Tamarind is a long bean-like pod that
belongs to the vegetable order but is
treated like a fruit. Its name is derived
from the Arabic word ‘tamar’, meaning a
dry date fruit. It was the Arabs in India
who gave the name of ‘tamar-hindi’ to this
tree.Tamarind is green when immature and,
when it matures, it becomes f


 Matthew.
As you know, all of the Bible stories are your stories; its characters live
only in the mind of man. They have no reference at all to any person, who
lived in time and space, or to any event that ever occurred upon earth.
*****
The drama related in Matthew takes place in this manner. Jesus turns to
his disciples and asks them, “Whom do men say that I the Son of man
am?” (Matt 16:13).
“And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and
others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”
“He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?”
“And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou are the Christ, the Son of the
living God.”
“And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jon -
ah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it until thee, but my Father
which is in heaven.”
“And I say also unto thee that thou are Peter, and upon this rock I will
build my church.” (Matt 16:14-18).
Jesus turning to his disciples is man turning to his disciplined mind in self-
contemplation. You ask yourself the question, “Whom do men say that I
am?” In our language, “I wonder what men think of me?”
You answer, “Some say John come again, some say Elias, others say
Jeremiah, and still others a prophet of old come again.”
It is very flattering to be told that you are, or that you resemble, the
great men of the past, but enlightened reason is not enslaved by public
opinion. It is only concerned with the truth so it asks itself another ques -
tion, “But whom say ye that I am?” In other words, “Who am I?”
More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenIf I am bold enough to assume that I am Christ Jesus, the answer will
come back, “Thou are Christ Jesus.”
When I can assume it and feel it and boldly live it, I will say to myself,
“Flesh and blood could not have told me this. But my Father which is in
Heaven revealed it unto me.” Then I make this concept of self the rock on
which I establish my church, my world.
“If ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins.” (John 8:24).
Because consciousness is the only reality I must assume that I am al -
ready that which I desire to be. If I do not believe that I am already what
I want to be, then I remain as I am and die in this limitation.
Man is always looking for some prop on which to lean. He is always look -
ing for some excuse to justify his failure. This revelation gives man no ex -
cuse for failure. His concept of himself is the cause of all the circum -
stances of his life. All changes must first come from within himself; and if
he does not change on the outside it is because he has not changed with -
in. But man does not like to feel that he is solely responsible for the con -
ditions of his life.
“From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more
with him.”
“Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?”
“Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go?” Thou has
the words of eternal life.” (John 6:66-68).
I may not like what I have just heard, that I must turn to my own con -
sciousness as to the only reality, the only foundation on which all phe -
nomena can be explained. It was easier living when I could blame anoth -
er. It was much easier living when I could blame society for my ills, or
point a finger across the sea, and blame another nation. It was easier liv -
ing when I could blame the weather for the way I feel. But to tell me that
I am the cause of all that happens to me that I am forever molding my
world in harmony with my inner nature, that is more than man is willing
to accept. If this is true, to whom would I go? If these are the words of
eternal life, I must return to them, even though they seem so difficult to
digest.
When man fully understands this, he knows that public opinion does not
matter, for men only tell him who he is. The behavior of men constantly
tell me who I have conceived myself to be.
More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenIf I accept this challenge and begin to live by it, I finally reach the point
that is called the great prayer of the Bible. It is related in the 17th chapter
of the Gospel of St John. “I have finished the work which thou gavest me
to do. (John 17:4).
“And now, O Father, glorify me with thine own self with the glory which I
had with thee before the world was.” (John 17:5).
“While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that
thou gavest me I have kept, and one of them is lost, but the son of perdi -
tion.” (John 17:12).
It is impossible for anything to be lost. In this divine economy nothing can
be lost, it cannot even pass away. The little flower which has bloomed
once, blooms forever. It is invisible to you here with your limited focus,
but blooms forever in the larger dimension of your being, and tomorrow
you will encounter it.
All that thou gavest me I have kept in thy name, and none have I lost
save the son of perdition. The son of perdition means simply the belief in
loss. Son is a concept, an idea. Perdido is loss. I have only truly lost the
concept of loss, for nothing can be lost.
I can descend from the sphere where the thing itself now lives, and as I
descend in consciousness to a lower level within myself it passes from my
world. I say, “I have lost my health. I have lost my wealth. I have lost my
standing in the community. I have lost faith. I have lost a thousand
things.” But the things in themselves, having once been real in my world,
can never cease to be. They never become unreal with the passage of
time.
I, by my descent in consciousness to a lower level, cause these things to
disappear from my sight and I say, “They have gone; they are finished as
far as my world goes.” All I need do is to ascend to the level where they
are eternal, and they once more objectify themselves and appear as reali -
ties within my world.
The crux of the whole 17th chapter of the Gospel of St John is found in the
19th verse. “And for their sake I sanctify myself, that they also might be
sanctified through the truth.”
Heretofore I thought I could change others through effort. Now I know I
cannot change another unless I first change myself. To change another
within my world I must first change my concept of that other; and to do it
best I change my concept of self. For it was the concept I held of self that
made me see others as I did.
More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenHad I a noble, dignified concept of myself, I never could have seen the
unlovely in others.
Instead of trying to change others through argument and force, let me
but ascend in consciousness to a higher level and I will automatically
change others by changing myself. “There is no one to change but self;
that self is simply your awareness, your consciousness and the world in
which it lives is determined by the concept you hold of self. It is to con -
sciousness that we must turn as to the only reality. For there is no clear
conception of the origin of phenomena except that consciousness is all
and all is consciousness.
You need no helper to bring you what you seek. Do not for one second
believe that I am advocating escape from reality when I ask you to simply
assume you are now the man or the lady that you want to be.
If you and I could feel what it would be like were we now that which we
want to be, and live in this mental atmosphere as though it were real,
then, in a way we do not know, our assumption would harden into fact.
This is all we need do in order to ascend to the level where our assump -
tion is already an objective, concrete reality.
I need change no man, I sanctify myself and in so doing I sanctify others.
To the pure all things are pure. “There is nothing unclean of itself: but to
him that esteemeth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.” (Rom
14:14). There is nothing in itself unclean, but you, by your concept of self,
see things either clean or unclean.
“I and my Father are one.” (John 10:30).
“If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.”
“But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may
know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.” (John 10:37,
38).
He made himself one with God and thought it not strange or robbery to
do the works of God. You always bear fruit in harmony with what you are.

The
use
of
urine
in
gynecological,
proctological
(digestive)
and
similar
diseases
initially
causes
severe
cutting
pain.
This
is
due
to
the
effect
of
the
acidic
environment
of
urine
on
the
festering
(alkaline)
surface
of
the
wound.
After
several
procedures,
the
pain
subsides
and
the
wound
heals
quickly.

It
all
started
12
years
ago
after
a
difficult
birth.
For
the
past
three
years,
the
disease
has
been
in
the
"blooming
rose"
stage.
She
decided
to
do
the
morning
injection
of
her
own
fresh
and
warm
urine
on
the
affected
area
and
apply
tampons
with
her
own
standing
urine
at
night.
During
the
first
injection,
the
patient
felt
only
a
slight
stinging.
Three
hours
after
inserting
the
first
tampon
with
old
urine,
the
woman
felt
unbearable
pain.
She
removed
the
tampon
and
wanted
to
leave
everything.
The
author
tried
to
prove
to
her
that
the
pains
are
from
the
"blooming
rose".
Until
the
urine
removes
the
scarring
of
the
mucous
membrane,
until
healthy
tissue
appears,
it
is
need
to
suffer.
The
hospital
was
convinced
by
a
story
about
a
case
of
leg
gangrene,
when
a
certain
professor
he
made
the
patient
suffer
pain
until
the
urine
removed
the
diseased
tissue
and
healthy
skin
formed
and
the
legs
were
saved.
The
patient
resumed
applying
tampons.
The
pain
lasted
for
another
3-4
days.
They
stopped
completely
in
a
week.
The
patient
started
drinking
her
own
urine
on
the
third
attempt.
She
threw
up
on
the
first
two.
She
went
to
the
gynecologist
in
14
days.
The
patient's
general
practitioner
was
not
present,
so
another
doctor
took
her
in.
After
a
long
examination
of
about
half
a
year's
records
and
a
thorough
examination,
the
doctor
stated
in
amazement:
"This
is
strange,
you
have
so
much
in
the
card
and
everything
is
clean
here."
Recommendations
and
comments:
In
such
cases,
tampons
are
not
soaked
in
standing
urine,
but
in
children's
or
fresh
urine.
Fresh
urine
has
an
anti-inflammatory
effect
and
reduces
pain.
Only
then
can
you
use
tampons
with
evaporated
or
long-standing
urine,
which
perfectly
removes
and
tears
off
dead
tissue.

various	essential	biochemical	processes.	The	onset	of	daylight	triggers	the	release	of
powerful	hormones	(
glucocorticoids
),	of	which	the	main	ones	are
cortisol
	and
corticosterone
.	Their	secretion	has	a	marked	circadian	variation.	These	hormones	regulate
some	of	the	more	important	functions	in	the	body,	including	metabolism,	blood	sugar
level,	and	immune	responses.	Peak	levels	occur	between	4	a.m.	and	8	a.m.	and	gradually
decrease	as	the	day	continues.	The	lowest	level	occurs	between	midnight	and	3	a.m.

By	altering	your	natural	daily	sleep/wake	schedule	to	a	different	one,	the	peak	of
cortisol’s	cycle	changes	as	well.	For	example,	if	you	suddenly	start	going	to	sleep	after
midnight,	instead	of	before	10	p.m.,	and/or	you	arise	in	the	morning	after	8	or	9	a.m.,
instead	of	with	or	before	sunrise	at	around	6	a.m.,	you	will	enforce	a	hormonal	time-shift
that	can	lead	to	chaotic	conditions	in	the	body.	Waste	materials	that	tend	to	accumulate	in
the	rectum	and	urinary	bladder	during	the	night	are	normally	eliminated	between	6	and	8
a.m.	With	a	changed	sleep/wake	cycle,	the	body	has	no	choice	but	to	hold	on	to	that	waste
matter	and	possibly	reabsorb	a	part	of	it.	When	you	disrupt	your	natural	sleep/wake
cycles,	the	body’s	biological	rhythms	desynchronize	with	the	larger	circadian	rhythms
controlled	by	the	regular	phases	of	darkness	and	light.	This	can	lead	to	numerous	types	of
disorders,	including	chronic	liver	disease,	respiratory	ailments,	and	heart	trouble.

An	upset	cortisol	cycle	can	also	bring	on	acute	health	problems.	In	the	1980s,
researchers	discovered	that	more	strokes	and	heart	attacks	occur	in	the	morning	than	at
any	other	time	of	day.	Blood	clots	form	most	rapidly	at	about	8	a.m.	Blood	pressure	also
rises	in	the	morning	and	stays	elevated	until	late	afternoon.	At	around	6	p.m.	it	drops	off,
and	it	hits	its	lowest	level	during	the	night.	To	support	the	basic	hormonal	and	circulatory
rhythms	in	the	body,	it	is,	therefore,	best	to	go	to	sleep	early	(before	10	p.m.)	and	rise	no
later	than	the	sun	does	(ideally	at	around	6	a.m.).	(
Note:
	These	times	change	according	to
the	seasons.	During	the	winter,	we	may	need	a	little	more	sleep;	in	the	summer,	we	may
need	a	little	less.)

.
The	secretion	of	melatonin	starts	between	9:30	and	10:30	p.m.	(depending	on	age),
inducing	sleepiness.	It	reaches	peak	levels	between	1	and	2	a.m.	and	drops	to	its	lowest
levels	at	midday.	The	pineal	gland	controls	reproduction,	sleep	and	motor	activity,	blood
pressure,	the	immune	system,	the	pituitary	and	thyroid	glands,	cellular	growth,	body
temperature,	and	many	other	vital	functions.	All	of	these	depend	on	a	balanced	melatonin
cycle.	By	going	to	sleep	late	or	working	night	shifts,	you	throw	this	cycle	out	of	balance,
and	throw	off	many	other	hormonal	cycles	as	well.
	Apart	from	making	melatonin,	the	brain	also	synthesizes
serotonin,
	which	is	a	very
important	neurotransmitter/hormone	related	to	our	state	of	physical	and	emotional	well-
being.	It	affects	day	and	night	rhythms,	sexual	behavior,	memory,	appetite,	impulsiveness,
fear,	and	even	suicidal	tendencies.	Unlike	melatonin,	serotonin	increases	with	the	light	of
day;	physical	exercise	and	sugar	also	stimulate	it.	If	you	get	up	late	in	the	morning,	the
resultant	lack	of	exposure	to	sufficient	amounts	of	daylight	reduces	your	serotonin	levels
during	the	day.	Moreover,	since	melatonin	is	a	breakdown	product	of	serotonin,	this	habit
of	rising	late	also	lowers	the	levels	of	melatonin	during	the	night.

Any	deviation	from	the	circadian	rhythms	causes	abnormal	secretions	of	the	important
brain	hormones	melatonin	and	serotonin.	This,	in	turn,	leads	to	disturbed	biological
rhythms,	which	can	upset	the	harmonious	functioning	of	the	entire	organism,	including
metabolism	and	endocrine	balance.	Suddenly,	you	may	feel	“out	of	synch”	and	become
susceptible	to	a	wide	range	of	disorders,	from	a	simple	headache	to	depression	to	a	fully
grown	tumor.

The	production	of	growth	hormones,	which	stimulates	growth	in	children	and	helps
maintain	muscle	and	connective	tissue	in	adults,	depends	on	proper	sleeping	cycles.	Sleep
triggers	growth	hormone	production.	Peak	secretion	occurs	at	around	11	p.m.,	provided
you	go	to	sleep	before	10	p.m.	This	short	period	coincides	with	dreamless	sleep,	often
referred	to	as	“beauty	sleep.”	It	is	during	this	period	of	the	sleep	cycle	that	the	body
cleanses	itself	and	does	its	main	repair	and	rejuvenation	work.	If	you	are	sleep-deprived,
growth	hormone	production	drops	dramatically.	People	who	work	the	night	shift	have	a
greater	incidence	of	insomnia,	infertility,	cardiovascular	illness,	and	stomach	problems.	In
addition,	performance	falls	and	accident	rates	are	higher	during	the	night.
	Natural	Mealtimes

Ayurveda,	the
Science	of	Life,
	declared	thousands	of	years	ago	that	to	maintain	physical
and	emotional	well-being,	the	body	must	be	fed	according	to	a	natural	time	schedule.	Like
most	other	functions	in	the	body,	the	digestive	process	is	controlled	by	circadian	rhythms.
The	secretions	of	bile	and	other	digestive	juices	peak	at	midday	and	are	at	their	lowest
during	the	night.	For	this	reason,	it	is	best	to	eat	the	largest	meal	of	the	day	at	around
midday	and	take	relatively	light	meals	at	breakfast	and	dinner	times.	This	enables	the	body
to	digest	the	ingested	food	efficiently	and	absorb	the	appropriate	amount	of	nutrients
necessary	for	the	maintenance	of	all	bodily	functions.	To	avoid	interfering	with	the
secretion	of	digestive	juices	at	lunchtime,	it	is	ideal	to	eat	breakfast	no	later	than	8	a.m.
Likewise,	to	digest	your	evening	meal	properly,	it	is	best	to	eat	it	no	later	than	6:30	or	7
p.m.

Any	long-term	disruption	of	this	cycle,	caused	either	by	irregular	eating	habits	or	by
placing	the	main	emphasis	on	the	evening	meal	and/or	breakfast,	leads	to	the
accumulation	of	undigested	foods	and	congests	lymph	and	blood.	This	also	disturbs	the
body’s	natural	instincts.	If	its	instincts	were	intact	and	functioning	properly,	we	would
naturally	want	to	eat	only	those	foods	that	are	suitable	for	our	body	type,	and	we	would
eat	them	when	we	could	digest	them	best.	One	of	the	leading	causes	of	gallstone
formation	is	the	accumulation	of	improperly	digested	foods	in	the	intestinal	tract.	Eating

. G. P. was also a heavy milk drinker. He told me that he
was particularly fond of  buttermilk and clabber. For contrast, a lady from a distant city stopped in Hereford one
day on her way to California and called at my office. Mrs. N. had just
about the cleanest mouth I had ever found in a patient. She told me
that from early girlhood she had religiously kept the old textbook rule:
"Brush your teeth after each meal." For all that, my patient had a
mouthful of fillings, three or four to every tooth, between the teeth,
near the base and all around. There was more gold than enamel
showing in her mouth.
What Mrs. N. told me about her eating habits bore out my theory
completely. All her life she had lived on pastry, cakes, pies, jams and
jellies. She had eaten but little meat, raw or cooked vegetables or fruit.
She drank tea instead of milk.

CHAPTER 31.

AN EXPLORER COMES TO TEXAS HIGH
PLAINS

For the better part of a lifetime, Dr. Weston A. Price, Cleveland
dentist, was exploring Africa and Amazonian jungles, South Sea Islands and other out-of-the-way places where primitive people live with little or no contact with civilization.
Dr. Price summed up his findings in his book, "Nutrition and
Physical Degeneration." That manual is a "must" for every dentist who
would understand the role that a person's food and drink plays in
building sound teeth. The evidence which he gathered in his
explorations, evidence that he sets down in great detail, had led Dr.
Price to conclude that the primitive would be free of tooth decay, and
at the same time be free of "white man's diseases," so long as he lived
out of contact with modern civilization and its refined foods but lived
where he could obtain sea food.
In his book, Dr. Price proves his point with any number of case
studies; but even more convincingly with photographs. Conversely,
this manual shows as strikingly that when the white man introduces
his refined starched fo ods, the primitive man who drops his raw diet
for "civilized" foods speedily pays the penalty. His teeth decay and he
suffers all sorts of aches and pains.
Now, my findings here in Deaf Smith County convinced me
beyond a shadow of a doubt that the white man himself, right in the
middle of his civilization, with no contact with sea, and even without
imported sea foods, can have perfect teeth as long as he lives. What is
more, the same factors that give a man sound teeth can assure him long life free of disease.
Of course, Dr. Price knew about my findings, and until his death
a few years ago, an incalculable loss to the profession, showed a
friendly interest in them. While he  maintained his great experimental
laboratory at Cleveland, Dr. Price would send to various parts of the
country for cream which he would feed to patients to test the effects of
the vitamins and minerals which it contained on the building of teeth.
For some years Dr. Price used cream from Bonnie Brumley's
farm in Deaf Smith County. He l earned to work seeming magic with
the butterfat which cows grazed on  Mr. Brumley's green wheat had
produced. For example, when he fed that cream to an arthritis patient
for a while, the arthritic pains disappeared. But when Mr. Brumley would take his cows off green wheat Dr. Price would immediately
notice the difference in the type of cream he was getting: "You have changed your feed," Dr. Price would write. "The last
lot of cream which you shipped me does not measure up to your usual
standard. It is short on vitamins and various minerals which my
patients require."
Mr. Brumley would protest that he was feeding the same
scientifically balanced ration that he had been feeding his milk cows
right along. The green wheat which the cows had grazed on made the
difference. The native grass might have been as good but Bonnie did
not have this.
Later on, Dr. Price came to Hereford and I drove him out to
Bonnie Brumley's place. Then and there, the nutrition expert set the
dairy farmer right on the relative values of dry and green feed:
"The butterfat that you get from co ws on dry feed, Mr. Brumley,
is of value only as grease."
Then Dr. Price explained that the curing of hay and fodder, the
milling of corn, oats, rye, grain sorghum, alfalfa and other crops
vitiated and so largely destroyed the vitamins which grass and grain
contained. In like fashion the proteins, calcium, phosphorus,
magnesium, iron, iodine and the numerous trace minerals that are found in the fresh green and growing plant is in organic and
assimilable form, undergoes chemical changes when the plan is cured
or the grain is milled. Besides, as the biochemists have learned, the
chlorophyll which gives the wheat blade or the leaf its green color
plays a vital role in the plant's food factory. No chlorophyll, no food.
While Dr. Price was here I took hi m out to Ira Ott's poultry farm.
Soon after we arrived Mr. Ott drove up with a batch of day-old baby
chicks. Immediately, Dr. Price gave the poultryman a trade secret:
"Would you like to have every one of those baby chicks live, Mr.
Ott? Well, here is what you do: for its first ration, give each chick a
few drops of cream from cows which have grazed on a lush green wheatfield."
It was on that visit the dentist-explorer confided his "hunch" to
me: "Your Deaf Smith County soil, Dr. Heard, contains an element
which never has been named. When taken up in wheat and other food
plants that element is very powerful. I call it 'activator X'."

CHAPTER 32.

ON DENTISTRY AND FOOD THERAPY
 I have often wondered if we dentists were perfectly honest with
ourselves, we would not have to acknowledge that we are following a
repair trade rather than a professi on. To be sure it takes skill and a
certain precision with tools to drill out a cavity in a tooth and fill it with gold or alloy. But I say that dental science hardly has begun to
solve the problems which challenge it.
There remains a vast unexplored field of research in which a few
bold pioneers like the late Dr. Weston A. Price of Cleveland have
blazed trails. It is my fond belief that one day my profession will
follow out those trails to their in dicated goal. In his great book,
"Nutrition and Physical Degeneration," that ought to be in every
dentist's working laboratory, Dr. Price tells how he restored
supposedly incurable cases to health simply by feeding the patients the
foods which they required for perfect nutrition.
For example, Dr. Price tells the case history of Freddie S., 8
years old, suffering from convulsions and a broken leg that for three
months had refused to knit together again. As he relates, Dr. Price put
his small patient on a diet of fresh  cream from Bonnie Brumley's dairy
farm near Hereford, Texas. Mr. Brumley's cows, pastured on lush
green wheat producing milk rich in vitamins and minerals. It was Dr.
Price's theory that the milk cont ained an added element (which he
called 'activator X') that enabled the child to assimilate the minerals in
his food. In addition he gave the patient a gruel made from freshly
ground Deaf Smith County whole wheat and served with whole raw
milk. The wheat had to be ground fresh because the flour in a few
days oxidizes and thereby loses esse ntial minerals. The milk had to be
consumed raw because the 140 degrees essential temperature for
pasteurizing, which kills vitamins and puts the food elements out of
balance. Soon 'after he was put on the diet, the child's convulsions stopped. Before long, the broken bone began knitting together. Six weeks after this treatment Freddie S. climbed a waterspout at the
corner of the house.
Then, on pages 272-3 of his book, Dr. Price describes Johnnie F.,
5 years old, and bed-ridden with supposedly incurable arthritis
rheumatism and heart lesions. Dr. Price began feeding that boy
butterfat from Bonnie Brumley's dairy, and on the same diet of wheat
gruel and raw milk he had given Freddie S. within a year Johnnie
could leave the hospital in sound health. Evidently enough, both those childre n were suffering from a lack
of correct nutrition to supply their small bodies and keep them
working properly. In plain terms, th e children were being starved. All
the elements which the human body contains, including the trace
elements, must be in the food we eat. If a single item is missing the
delicate balance of nature is upset and the body suffers.
It follows that most sick people derive their troubles from the
dinner table. They do not get a balanced diet. For that very reason, I
contend, almost 40 per cent of the young men


   "Small adjustments in the (all -
vegetarian) raw diet... to avoid slowly developing but disastrous health  problems."
Hundreds of mice were used to test diets such as the vegan, fruitarian, vegetarian, lacto -vegetarian, ovo -vegetarian, raw diets,
cooked diet, other diets and variations, periodic fasting and longevity, juice programs, all -raw vs. cooked Natural  Hygiene diets.

Q:  Can you help me with m y sick pet?


ant) and a manner that verges on edginess. These days he spends a lot
of time at his computer, as rapt as a conspiracy theorist, cruising Medline for new data on infectiousdiseases and, one imagines, almost cackling to himself when he finds something really good.Cochran's background in a field dominated by grand theories and universal laws may serve as avaluable counterpoint to the empirical and theory-hostile universe of the health sciences.
Ewald and Cochran encountered each other serendipitously, after Cochran decided to pursue a
certain line of thinking about a very sensitive subject. "I was reading an article in Scientific American
in 1992 about pathogens manipulating a host to get what they want," Cochran recalls. "It described aflowering plant infected by a fungus, and the fungus hijacks the plant's reproductive machinery so
Gregory Cochran
that instead of pollen it produces fungal spores. I thought, Could it be? " Cochran strayed from his
field to try his hand at writing an article on biology -- elaborating an audacious theory that humanhomosexuality might result from a "manipulation" of a host by a germ with its own agenda. He senthis draft to a prestigious biology journal, which sent it out to three scientists for peer review. Twowere unconvinced, even appalled; the third was Paul Ewald, who thought the article was flawedbut who was nonetheless impressed by the logic of the idea. The article was rejected, but Ewald andCochran began their association.
To illustrate his thinking about infectiousness and disease, Cochran not long ago gave me a tour of
his conceptual bins, into which he sorts afflictions according to their fitness impact. Remember thatfitness can be defined as the evolutionary success of one organism relative to competing organisms.Only one thing counts: getting one's genes into the future. Any disease that kills host organismsbefore they can reproduce reduces fitness to zero. Obviously, fitness takes a major hit whenever thereproductive system itself is involved, as in the case of venereal chlamydia.
Consider a disease with a fitness cost of one percent -- that is, a disease that takes a toll on survival
or reproduction such that people who have it end up with one percent fewer offspring, on average,than the general population. That small amount adds up. If you have an inherited disease with aone percent fitness cost, in the next generation there will be 99 percent of the original number in thegene pool. Eventually the number of people with the disease will dwindle to close to zero -- or,more precisely, to the rate produced by random genetic mutations: about one in 50,000 to one in100,000.
We were considering the bin containing diseases that are profoundly antagonistic to fitness, with a
fitness cost of somewhere between one and 10 percent by Cochran's calculations. My eye took in acatalogue of human ills -- some familiar, some exotic, some historically fearsome but close to extinct,some lethal in the tropics but of little concern to inhabitants of the temperate zones. This list alsoshowed prevailing medical opinion about cause. Each name of a disease was trailed by a lower-caseletter: i(for infectious), g(genetic), g+(genetic defense against an infectious disease), e(caused by an
environmental agent), or u(unknown). I read, "Atherosclerosis ( u),... chlamydia (venereal) ( i),
cholera ( i), diphtheria ( i), endometriosis ( u), filariasis ( i), G6PD deficiency ( g+),... hemoglobin E
disease ( g+), hepatitis B ( i), hepatitis C ( i), hookworm disease ( i), kuru ( i),... malaria (vivax) ( i),...
pertussis ( i), pneumococcal pneumonia ( i), polycystic ovary disease ( u), scarlet fever ( i),...
tuberculosis ( i), typhoid ( i), yellow fever ( i)."
Of the top forty fitness-antagonistic diseases on the list, thirty-three are known to be directly
infectious and three are indirectly caused by infection; Cochran believes that the others will turn outto be infectious too. The most fitness-antagonistic diseases must be infectious, not genetic, Ewaldand Cochran reason, because otherwise their frequency would have sunk to the level of randommutations. The exceptions would be either diseases that could be the effect of some newenvironmental factor (radiation or smoking, for example), or genetic diseases that balance theirfitness cost with a benefit. Sickle-cell anemia is one example of the latter.
Though sickle-cell anemia is strictly heritable according to Mendelian laws, it is widely believed to
have persisted in the population in response to infectious selective pressures. It heads the list ofgenetic diseases that Ewald dubs "self-destructive defenses," in which a disease fatal in itshomozygous form (two copies of the gene) carries an evolutionary advantage to heterozygouscarriers (with one copy), protecting against a terrible infection: in this case falciparum malaria,common in Africa. Similarly, cystic fibrosis, some argue, evolved in northern Europe as a defenseagainst Salmonella typhi, the cause of typhoid fever. Infection thus explains why these deadly genetic
diseases have remained in the human gene pool when they should have died out.
But what about something like atherosclerosis? I asked. Leaving aside the evidence concerning C.
pneumoniae, it is not apparent why a genetic cause for atherosclerosis should be dismissed out of
hand on evolutionary grounds. If it hits people in midlife or later, after they have launched theirgenes, how could it possibly affect fitness?
Cochran's response illustrates some of the intricacies of evolutionary thinking. "Well, obviously, it's
not as bad as a disease that kills you before puberty, but I think it does have a fitness cost. First ofall, it's really common. Second, people think that all you have to do to pass your genes along is have
children, but that's not true. You still need to raise the offspring to adulthood. In a hunter-gathereror subsistence-farming culture, the fitness impact of dying in midlife might be considerable,especially during bad times, like famines. You've got to feed your family. Also, cardiovasculardisease is a leading cause of impotence, and any disease that makes males impotent at age forty-fivehas got to affect reproduction somewhat."
But fifty-year-olds? Sixty-year-olds? Grandmothers do a large proportion of the food-gathering in some tribal cultures, according to
recent anthropological reports. "They aren't hampered by babies anymore, and they don't have to goaround chucking spears like the men," says George C. Williams, a professor emeritus of ecology andevolution at the State University of New York at Stonybrook, and one of the pillars of modernevolutionary biology. "They contribute substantially to the family diet." If long-lived eldershistorically have made a difference by fostering the survival of their descendants, and thereforetheir genes, Cochran figures, then a disease that kills sixty-year-olds could have a fitness impact ofaround one percent.
The Cause-and-Effect Conundrum
KNOW what that is?" Ewald asked. We were standing in the main corridor of the Life SciencesBuilding, gazing up at a decorative metalwork frieze that runs along the walls just abovedoor height. A pair of hummingbirds chase each other in a circle. A human eye and an
octopus eye face off. A human hand is juxtaposed with a chimpanzee hand. Ewald pointed tosomething that looked like a daddy longlegs with a video camera for a head. "Some kind of insect?"I ventured. "It's a virus," he said. "See, it's like a spaceship. That" -- he pointed at the head -- "is itsDNA. It injects it inside the cell."
There is something unsettling and fascinating about a virus, an organism that is neither strictly alive
nor strictly inanimate, and that replicates by sneaking inside a host cell and commandeering itsmachinery. "Viruses are essentially bits of nucleic acid -- either DNA or RNA -- wrapped in a proteincapsule," Ewald explained. "A retrovirus, like HIV, is an RNA virus with a protein called reversetranscriptase built into it, and once it gets into a cell, it uses the reverse transcriptase to make a DNAcopy of its RNA. This viral DNA copy can insert itself into our DNA, where it can be read by ourprotein-making machinery the same way our own instructions are read."
The modus operandi of the world's most feared virus, HIV, is clever, killing its hosts very, very
slowly. A sexually transmitted pathogen, without the luxury of being spread through sneezes orcoughs, must await its few opportunities patiently; if those infected have no symptoms and don'tknow they are sick, so much the better. A mild, chronic form of AIDS had in all likelihood beenaround for centuries in Africa, according to Ewald. Suddenly in the 1970s -- owing to changingpatterns of sexual activity and to population movements -- deadly strains spread in the populationof Central and East Africa.
HIV has an extremely high mutation rate, which means that it is continually evolving, even within a
single patient, producing competing strains that fight for survival against the weapons produced bythe immune system. If selective pressures -- in this case a high potential sexual transmission -- have
forced the virus to evolve toward virulence, the


 muscle to contract more powerfully
and loosen such deposits, which are occasionally vi sible as hard, black material and "ropes" of
mucus. Gradually, as the protein metabolism of the body improves, the muscle tone of the bowel
becomes normal and thorough evacuation is possible without the aid of the enema.
Essentially, the coffee enemas help the liver perfo rm a task for which it was not designed — that
of elimination in 1 or 2 years the accumulated wast es from many years of living in ignorance of
the laws of nature.
At first, most people dislike enemas and have psych ological barriers against them. Ignorance of
the purpose and function of the enema, as well as m isunderstanding of the proper procedure for
taking it bring about this aversion. I have observe d, however, that the persons most opposed to
enemas soon reverse their prejudices and become the  most avid supporters of them! In many
cases, the enema relieves distress and gives a sens e of well being and cleanliness never before
experienced. The proper removal of toxins and debri s from the colon is absolutely essential in all
conditions of disease and ill health.
It is most desirable to take the coffee enema early  in the morning and it may be repeated again in
early afternoon and/or evening, depending upon the toxic condition of the body. Enemas using
coffee in the afternoon or evening may interfere wi th sound sleep. If enemas are needed at these
times, many patients prefer to use only warm pure w ater omitting the coffee. But it is better to take coffee at these times also, and a weaker solut ion to permit sleep would be better than not
using coffee at all.
How To Make A Coffee Enema
1.  Just before bedtime each day, make a pot of coffee (1 quart). Unplug coffeepot and allow
to cool to room temperature.
2.  It is best to arise early enough each morning to al low time to take the enema in a relaxed,
unhurried state.
3.  The coffee must be regular, non-instant, non-decaff einated coffee. It must be prepared in
enamelware, Corning Ware™, glass or stainless steel, or by the tricolator filter method.
Aluminum or Teflon should not be used at any time! We have found the coffee that is
unboiled or prepared via the "drip method" is prefe rable. Use 3 to 4 tablespoons of
ground coffee to 1 quart of Filtered Reverse Osmosi s (RO) or distilled water. Any water
that enters into the body should be RO filtered or distilled water.
Avoidance of city water supplies (always chlorinate d, which has been strongly linked to
hardening of the arteries, and often fluoridated, w hich has been strongly linked to cancer
and thyroid disease) is most essential to removing stress from the kidneys. Pure RO
filtered water or distilled water should be used fo r cooking and drinking — and even for
preparing enemas, since a significant portion of th e enema water may be absorbed and
filtered through the kidneys. Even if one has a wel l, it should not be assumed safe. Often
toxic amounts of copper, cadmium, and lead are pick ed up from the plumbing even if the
well is pure. It is best to purchase a small distil ling unit and distill from one’s tap. If one
distills water from a city supply, one must remembe r that certain hydrocarbon
contaminants have a lower boiling point than that o f water. The distiller should have a
valve to permit their escape as they gasify. If not, they will concentrate in the distilled
water and will need to be removed by filtering thro ugh activated charcoal.
One may purchase a Reverse Osmosis Filter Unit from :
Sparkling Water Company — 800-460-5728 or
Ozark Water Service — 800-835-8908.
An acceptable Distilled Water System:
H20 Only, Inc. — 724-287-5555
Note:  Filters breed deadly bacteria. If your water suppl y is dirty a filter will get dirty in
less than 30 days — A filter should be changed ever y 30 days even if your water supply
is clean.
4.  If a coffee enema makes a person jittery, shaky, ne rvous, nauseated, or light-headed, the
coffee solution is too strong. The amount of coffee  can be adjusted from 1 teaspoon to 4
tablespoons per quart of water as tolerance level p ermits.
5.  The high, retention coffee enema should consist of 1 quart of coffee, held for 15 minutes.
Some people, children especially, can take and reta in only a pint (2 cups) of enema solution at a time. If this is the case, one must t ake 2 enemas each time, one right after the
other, and hold each for 15 minutes as directed.
6.  Upon rising each morning plug in the coffeepot for a few seconds to bring coffee to body
temperature; unplug and take the morning coffee ene ma.
How To Take A Coffee Enema
A.  Before the enema do some form of mild exercise if p ossible, such as walking briskly. If
one is extremely debilitated and weak, this step wi ll of course need to be omitted until
strength returns.
B.  Attempt a normal bowel movement. The enema is much more effective if the colon has
been evacuated. One should not become disturbed, ho wever, if there are no regular bowel
movements, or very few, during Metabolic Medicine’s  Cancer Cure Program. In many
cases, not enough bulk collects to instigate a norm al bowel movement. When no normal
bowel movements are forthcoming, the enema cleans t he colon adequately.
C.  Bulk formers such as Metamucil™ (or other brands of  Psyllium Husks obtainable at drug
or health food stores) taken as directed, or 2 tabl espoons of miller’s bran with each meal
(obtainable at the health food store) are quite hel pful in forming stools and thereby
creating more normal bowel movements for those who take daily enemas.
D.  After the normal bowel movement, if one is forthcom ing, or before taking the coffee
retention enema, most people find that taking an en ema with 1 quart of warm RO filtered
water or distilled water is very helpful (do not re tain this enema). This procedure begins
the cleansing of the colon, removing large particle s of residue and most of the gas. When
it is completed, the coffee retention enema may be taken. The warm water enema is
optional and does not need to be taken if the coffe e enema can be retained for the desired
period.
E.  Place 1 quart of coffee in your enema bag or bucket. You may use a Fleet enema bag,
which is a disposable large volume plastic bag, an over-the-counter item from the local
pharmacy or hospital supply outlet. This enema bag lasts about 2 years.
F.  The enema tip on the end of the hose is not adequat e to give a "high enema." Place a
colon tube (DAVOL) size 24 French or 26 French or 2 8 French on the opposite end of
the plastic tube from the enema bag. This colon tub e is a soft flexible rubber-like tube
around 30 inches in length. It follows the curves a nd flexure of the colon. The colon tube
is usually inserted about 12 to 20 inches into the rectum. (Editor’s Note: It is difficult
today to find a colon tube. However, a plastic rect al catheter or tube about 18 inches long
may be ordered from your pharmacy as an over-the-co unter item.)
G.  Next, allow the coffee to flow to the end of the co lon tube, thus eliminating any air in the
tube.
H.  The colon tube should be lubricated with natural cr eamery butter, Vitamin E cream or
other lubricant that doesn’t contain additives or c hemicals.
I.  Insert the tube 12 to 20 inches into the rectum, if  possible. This should be done slowly, in
a rotating motion that helps to keep the tube from "kinking up" inside the colon.
J.  The enema bag should not be over 36 inches higher t han the rectum. If it is placed too
high, the coffee runs into the colon too fast and u nder too much pressure, causing
discomfort.  K.  There are several positions that can be used while inserting the colon tube. Squatting is
one. There is also the knee-chest method, with ches t and knees on the floor and buttocks
in the highest position possible. Most people, howe ver, find it easiest to lie on the left
side until the solution is out of the bag or bucket. The enema should never be taken while
sitting on the toilet or standing.
L.  Some people’s colons have kinks or turns in them th at may prevent the tube from being
inserted even 18 inches. Often, if a little bit of the solution is allowed to flow into the
colon as the tube is being inserted, one


 emerges from thousands
of scattered dots. The matter in our bodies never
disintegrates into a shapeless, mindless pile—until the
moment of death. In answer to the obvio us question,
“Where is this quantum mechanical body, anyway?” one
can now conﬁdently answer that it lies in a gap that
unfortunately is rather diﬀicult to picture, since it is silent,
has no thickness, and exists everywhere.
To dive into the ﬁeld of intelligence appears easy now: it
requires only a trip across a gap. But even though the gap
has no thickness, it forms a barrier no steel door could
possibly match. We can simplify our diagram to show what
has happened to make the journey so diﬀicult:
—The whole story is contained in the diﬀerence between
active and silent intelligence. We have conﬁrmed that this
diﬀerence is very real. DNA can be active or silent; our
thoughts can be express ed or stored away in drawers of
silence; we can be awake or asleep. All these changes
require a journey acros s the gap, but not a conscious
journey. To see what sleep is like, you would have to stay
awake, which is impossible. If you want to see the
diﬀerence between activ e and dormant DNA, you cannot
ﬁnd it in any chemical bond, since the two DNAs are
physically identical. And so on and on for all the
transformations of mind and body.
The same diﬀiculty holds  true in physics—a photon is a
form of light, as is a light wave, but both arise from a
hidden ﬁeld. On the surface of reality we see either photons
or light waves, but the reason why both can exist in one
reality is that they preexist as mere possibilitie s in the
quantum ﬁeld. Who has ever photograp hed a possibility?
Yet, that is all the quantum world is made of. If you say a
word or make a molecule, you have chosen to act. A little
wave laps up from the ocean’s surface, becoming an
incident in the space-time  world. The whole ocean remains
behind, a vast, silent reservoir of possibilities, of waves that
have yet to be born.
As they dance around on the paper, the iron ﬁlings might
look at one another and say, “Well, this is life, let’s look into
its mysteries.” Deciding to do that, they can begin a
thought-adventure of the kind we call science. No matter
how adventurous their thoughts become, they will never
cross the gap. The gap is a one-way door, as far as thinking
goes, and that is its true mystery.
From a certain perspecti ve, the whole idea that we are
outcroppings from an invisible, inﬁnite ﬁeld seems
ridiculous. A man’s body is a pack et of ﬂesh and bones
occupying a few cubic feet of space; his mind is anamazingly intricate but ﬁnite mechanism ﬁlled with a set
number of conceptions; his society is a grossly imperfect
organization bound to a history of ignorance and conﬂict.
These obvious facts have never settled the issue,
strangely enough. We trust our ﬁnite everyd ay experiences,
which are good enough for driving a car, earning a living,
and going to the beach, but they are not quite convincing
enough compared to the overwhelming experien ce of the
inﬁnite. That experience, repeated throughout the
centuries, causes some people to suspect that reality is
very diﬀeren t, and far vaster, than what the mind, the body,
and society generally accept.
Einstein himself experienced this reality. He has testiﬁed
to moments when “one feels free from one’s own
identiﬁcation with human limitation”:
“At such moments one imagines that one stands on some
spot of a small planet gazing in amazement at the cold and
yet profoun dly moving  beauty of the eternal, the
unfathomable. Life and death ﬂow into one, and there is
neither evolution nor destiny, only Being.”
Although this sounds like a spiritual insight (and Einstein
considered himself deeply spiritual), it is really a glimpse
into a level of our own consciousness that can be mapped
and explored. Without having any control over their
awareness or any cogent explanation for what is
happening, people sense that the state of rapt silen ce is not
simply emptiness. The great traditions of wisdom have
largely been founded by one or a few individuals who
realized the universe through themselves. To solve the
mystery of the gap, we need to consult the ones who have
been there; if they have found a real world, then there will
be new Einsteins to follow, and they will be Einsteins of
consciousness.EXPANDING THE TOPIC
The wisdom of the body comes from two places—active
intelligence and silent intelligence. Self-care is an example
of active intelligence. You listen to your body. You heed its
signals of pain and discom fort. You take steps to maintai n a
state of wellbeing. Active intelligence stretches no one’s
imagination. Silent intelligence is diﬀerent, because being
invisible, it can only be located in the gap. Yet of the two
kinds of intelligence, the kind that works in silence is
inﬁnitely wiser.
When Quantum Healing  ﬁrst appea red, it was almost
impossible to get mainstream doctors even to entertain
such a notion as “the wisdom of the body.” I found refuge in
the mystica l poets, who became almost constant
companions. They knew about the hidden dimensions of
existence. Here is a verse from Rumi, the illuminated
Persian poet:
What do I long for?
Something that is felt in the night
But not seen in the day.
In a rational age, poetic intimations aren’t enough. Yet
poets can think, too, as when Rabindranath Tagore, the
great Bengali poet, contemplates how a full-blown rose
opens from a bud. He sees at work the same silent
intelligence I was describing in the human body.
He who can open a bud does it simply
One glance, and the sap must stir,
One breath, and a ﬂower ﬂutters in the wind,
Colors ﬂash out like longings of the heart,And perfume betrays sweet secrets.
He who can open a bud does it simply.
Who could put it more beautifully? Instead of saying “He
who can open a bud,” why not “She who can bring a child
into the world”? Silent intelligence is simple, spontaneous,
and a part of us.
As it turned out, I was lucky to be writing when I was.
Hard research was just uncovering the receptor sites on
the cell membrane, the “plug-ins” for messages from the
brain. One found exactly the same receptor sites
everywhere. The immune  system therefore became known
as a ﬂoating brain, and science had an explanation for gut
instincts—tissues remote from the brain were thinking, too,
in a chemical language.
Yet the lifestyle advice that looks so promising for healing
the mind-bod y connection  doesn’t really penetrate into the
quantum domain. It remains in the domain of active
intelligence. We have to be a bit careful here. If you change
your diet, new messages will be sent to the cells of the
digestive tract, and from  there the messaging throughout
the body is altered (which is why, for example, you fall
asleep after eating too much at Thanksgiving). Because all
messages are produced in the gap, there is a quantum
dimension to every process in the body.
What’s lacking is a direct telephone line, so that you can
speak to your own silent intelligence and hear what it says
in return. A direct line is opened through “second
attention.” With ﬁrst attention you live your life in the
world—working, eating, sleeping, relating. With second
attention you peer into the invisible domain that creates,
governs, and regulates the ﬂow of life. Let’s call silent
intelligence X, because it cannot be labeled or named.
Labels belong to things, not to processes. What is X doingfrom its invisible station  behind the scene? Its range of
activity is quite astonishing:
It takes each  tiny event and weaves it into the tapestry of
life.
It gives meaning and purpose to everything you
experience.
It guides every action to its highest and best use.
It breathes love into being.
It favors evolution and progress.
It promotes those outcomes that are the most life
supporting.
If this sounds like a mystical laundry list, consider the
beating of a single heart cell. It meshes with every other
heart cell in perfect sync.  It regis ters love, pain, hope, fear,
and every other emotion. It tells you without a doubt that
you are in love. It settles into wise contentment as you
mature. It looks out for the healt h of the entire body. I’ve
used slightly metaphorical language, but a cell biologist
could identify the receptor sites and messaging paths that
connect brain and heart so completely that every function
I’ve mentioned has a physiological basis.
The deeper point, howe ver


 it were an invisible object that could bepossessed. In palace of a soul that you own, which is mythical, there’s an unbounded soul that existseverywhere.The soul is pure awareness a link to the inﬁnite; it is unbounded as the universe. But we reverted to anownable soul to make it easier to comprehend and live with. By giving up the idea of “my soul” we can beas free and unbounded as creation.As long as you cling to anything by saying “mine,” you can’t be free. Your soul isn’t a thing you can clingto and make your own. You can only win your freedom by letting go. The mystery of the unbounded soulis wrapped up in those two things: how to let go and how much you want to be free.We learn to let go by seeing through the ego’s insistence upon being right. Letting go comes down toadopting between the values of the soul over the values of the ego:Soul EgoAccepting RejectingApproving CriticalCooperating OpposingDetached ClingingCalm AgitatedForgiving ResentfulSelﬂess SelﬁshPeaceful ConﬂictedNon-judgmental JudgmentalIt’s not that your ego has a totally negative agenda. Under normal circumstances it doesn’t. Mainly it actsout of self-protection. Some people have consciously learned how to cope with the world withoutprotecting themselves. They rely on a higher power to protect them, and that’s what you and I must learn to do by identifying with our unbounded soul.We cannot transform our ego by condemning it and labeling it as bad. It has no motivation to cooperate --quite the opposite. Whatever you ﬁght against tries to stick even harder. After all, you are threatening itssurvival. Likewise, the parts of yourself that feel judged against will not relent. They will try to convinceyou even harder to be selﬁsh, judgmental, and resentful whenever you face outside opposition. Spiritualtraditions haven’t taken into account that there’s a process involved in weaning the ego from its self-defeating ways. By putting the issue in terms of morality, sin, and the threat of God’s wrath, Christianityhas taken the opposite of an effective approach.Making a stark contrast between the lower and higher self is futile. There is no separate, all-good, all-wisepart of you that you must either win or lose. Life is one ﬂow of awareness. No aspect of you wasconstructed out of anything else. It’s wrong to think that there are two creations, one dark, the other light.Fear and anger are actually made from the same pure awareness that love and compassion are made of.Erecting a barrier between ego and soul fails to recognize this simple fact. In the end, letting go is achieved, not by condemning what’s bad in yourself and throwing it away, but by a process that brings opposites together. Your ego must see that it belongs to the same reality as your soul. It needs to ﬁnd so much in common with your soul that it lets go of its selﬁsh agenda in favor of a better way of life.
 EXERCISES FOR LESSON 111. What is a so-called negative quality within your soul that you constantly battle with? (Somecommon qualities people try to ﬁght or repress are laziness, negativity, gluttony, dependence on others and judging others.) Do a week-long experiment where every time your ego-driven personality trait arises, you do not ﬁght it and show absolutely no resistance. Wear a bracelet or a rubber band around your wrist to remind yourself of this week-long commitment to not ﬁght your ego-driven qualities. 2. Journal about your own personal relationship with your soul. What are some of the conventionalideas about the soul that you believe in? Can you make the steps to see the soul as a universal vibration that encompasses everything, rather than something you own as a possession? Write about your own struggles, triumphs and past events from your own personal journey.   3. Write an intention on what you plan on doing to feel more free in spirit. Right before you do so, take amoment to completely visualize the sensation, frequency and texture of how your soul feels when it iscompletely unrestricted and unbounded.LESSON 12: The Fruit Of Surrender Is GraceWATCH LESSON 12 VIDEO BY DEEPAK CHOPRA ONLINE: http://blip.tv/play/AYGpjFgC

Grace transforms human nature when the process of surrendering or letting go eventually comes to anend. But this end-point is very different from anything one would anticipate. In the ultimate surrender yougive up all needs. For the ﬁrst time you will be able to say, “I am enough.” You will ﬁnd yourself in aworld where everything ﬁts together as it should.By letting go completely, a person can achieve a new identity. The fruit of surrender is grace, the all-embracing power of God. Grace is the invisible inﬂuence of the divine. Once it enters a person’s life, theold means that we use to run our lives – reason, logic, effort, planning, forethought, discipline – are thrown away like the training wheels of a bicycle.Grace abolishes life’s limitations. There is nothing to fear, nothing to be guilty of. The whole issue of goodversus evil disappears. Peace is no longer a dream to be chased but an innate quality of the heart. Thesethings are the result, not of supernatural intervention, but of coming to the end of a process.Before it is touched by grace, religion’s moralistic view is that human nature is fallen, corrupt, sinful, andignorant. In fact, we are simply bound by the ego’s conception of identity. The word “boundary” is neutral;it simply refers to a state of limitation. If you take a person and force him to live in severe limitation – say,in the dungeon of a prison – all kinds of ﬂaws will develop, from paranoia to delusion. But they aren’tbecause the prisoner is morally defective. They result from being bound up.The difference between a prisoner captive in his cell and you or me is that we voluntarily chose to liveinside boundaries. The part of ourselves that made this choice is the ego. The root cause of all suffering is the false identity of the “I” that handles everyday life and masks the real self at the soul level.This false self has an agenda. It thinks it knows how to run everyday life, and when threatened withdisassembly, it ﬁghts back – after all, survival itself is at stake.. Transforming your identity is likeperforming surgery on yourself. You must act as both doctor and patient. An impossible task physically but entirely possible in awareness.The ego’s vision of life is unworkable. What it promises as a completely fulﬁlling life is an illusion you canchase all your life without every laying hands on it. When you become aware of this defect, the result isfatal for the ego. It can’t compete with the soul’s vision of fulﬁllment.We have all been conditioned to believe that it’s the ego that is practical and realistic in its approach to life, while the soul is unattainable and detached from everyday affairs. But that was a complete reversal of the truth.Two Visions of FulﬁllmentThe ego’s vision:· I have everything I need to be comfortable.· I am serene because bad things can’t come near me.· Through hard work anything can be achieved.· I measure myself by my accomplishments.· I win much more often than I lose.· I have a strong self-image.The soul’s vision:· I am everything I need.· I am secure because I have nothing to fear in myself.· The ﬂow of life’s abundance brings me everything.· I do not measure myself by any external standard.· Giving is more important than winning.· Because I’m attractive, I win the attention of the opposite sex.· When I ﬁnd the perfect love, it will be on my terms.· I can ﬁnd perfect love, because I have discovered it ﬁrst in myself.· I have no self-image; I am beyond images.· Other people are attracted to me as soul to soul.It’s fair to say, I think, that the second vision describes life in a state of grace. It stands for lifetransformed, not life as presided over by the ego. Yet looking at the two choices, most people would ﬁndthe ego’s version easier and more reasonable. For one thing, they are already quite used to it.The ego’s vision of fulﬁllment is unattainable, because each isolated “I” is on its own, cut off from thesource of life. The steady improvement being promised can only be external, because there’s no securityinside.Fulﬁllment is not a matter of self-improvement. It involves a shift away from the ego’s agenda, turningfrom externals to the inner world. The soul holds out a kind of happiness that isn’t dependent on whetherconditions outside are good or bad. The path of the soul leads to a place where you experience fulﬁllmentas a birthright, as part of who you are. You don’t have to work for it; you only have to be. Grace comesfrom a clear vision of who you really are.
 EXERCISES FOR LESSON 121. Who in your life do you need to forgive the most (even if it is yourself)? What is preventing you fromfully forgiving this person? Visualize how you can release yourself from the pain of bearing grudges, andhow you can open your heart to this person again. Do not be discouraged if this is uncomfortable


 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 other juice or (energised) water. You may also use 28
 this as the main nutrient on fasting day s, e.g., use about 25 ml in diluted
form every hour.
Liver  is high in many nutrients that a diseased body cannot produce or
convert into its active forms, such as vitamin B12, folate, P5P (activated
vitamin B6); also, vitamin A, enzymes and others. These v itamins and
nutrients from liver are much more potent than synthetic ones as in
tablets or capsules. Additional supplements may still be needed such as
vitamins C, D and B -vitamins, especially niacin.
You can use liver powder from free -range beef but even  better is fresh
free-range liver, buy frozen and use raw. This may be cut or chopped
into small pieces or pressed through a large garlic press and mixed with
other food. Alternatively process a larger amount with a slow juicer and
freeze in ice -cube trays. Use about 20 to 40 g with breakfast or lunch and
add 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 to balance the high vitamin A content of liver.
Protein Powders, stirred into a suitable liquid, are good as a basic snack
or meal. You may mix any of the following in any combi nation or quantity:
spirulina, chlorella, barley or wheat grass powder, ground linseed, bee
pollen, whey protein isolate (but not concentrate), pea protein, soaked
quinoa or chia seeds. You may make the consistency so that you can drink
it or eat it like porridge. For convenience pre -mix a supply of protein
powders in a large container that lasts for several weeks.
Purple Foods  supply strong antioxidants. When cooked or pressed with
skin they yield purple juice. Common examples are beetroot, black,
purple or red grapes or currants, cherries, red wine and red cabbage,
raspberries, bilberries, blackberries and blueberries.
Sprouted seeds  and young shoots such as cereal grasses provide a
higher degree of vitality and rejuvenation than other foods. Sprouted
seeds are a mainstay of a good diet. Commonly used for sprouting are
legumes such as lentils, mung beans, fenugreek, peas and chickpeas,
but also almonds, nuts and sunflower kernels ma y be spouted. Sunflower
and buckwheat seeds make a tasty salad when grown in seed boxes and
cut close to the soil when 5 -10 cm high.  29
 Sulphur -rich foods  improve detoxification and strengthen the immune
system. These include raw egg yolk, garlic, onion, hor seradish,
watercress, turnip and members of the cabbage family.
Problem Foods
Problem foods are widely used basic foods that lead to health problems
in large parts of the population. So -called junk food and heavily
processed and chemicalised food belong i n this category, but also dried
fruits, milk products and wholemeal bread.
What chiefly makes a particular food a problem is the presence of one or
several components that frequently cause metabolic or digestive
problems. Avoid or minimize any problem foo ds that you can identify as
contributing to your health problems.
The main problem foods in our society are:
Cow’s milk products and lactose  cause mucus congestion and
susceptibility to colds, ‘flu and asthma, as well as allergies, and enzyme
deficiencies when using pasteurized products. Casein from Friesian
cows (called A1 milk) is a cause of type 1 diabetes and other problems.
Wheat and glut en products tend to cause intestinal irritation and
inflammation, and contribute to the development of malabsorption,
allergies and overweight. Other gluten grains are rye and barley. Oats
contain a less reactive protein but can still cause problems for ce liacs.
Sugar and sweet foods  make us overacid and oversensitive, cause
mineral deficiencies and contribute to a wide range of diseases, including
Candida, overweight, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Recommended sugar substitutes are xylitol, glycerine and stevia.
Red mea t and saturated fats  (when heated) cause enzyme deficiencies
and may contribute to many diseases, especially if highly heated,
however unheated they can be health foods.
Chemicalised foods are basically all non -organic processed foods with
added chemicals - most supermarket foods. Grain products, peanuts and 30
 dried fruit are most affected by moulds.
Oxalic Acid is rather high in many vegetables, fruit and seeds. Some
examples of high-level foods are spinach, silverbeet/chard, beet leaves,
rhubarb, parsley, tea, and many berries. Even though most oxalates are
