 oil. These types of foods are by nature better stores for
provision of AAs in  proportioned amounts. After all, these better choice of "foods" are naturally designed to
procreate a "perfect" replica of the species con cerned. The storage of a balanced amino acid composition as a life
starter is part of the process. Insulin-independent diabetes should be treated with an increase in water intake, exercise,  and diet manipulation to
provide the necessary amino acid balance for tissue repair, including brain tissue requirements. Salt regulation
should also be kept in mind. Diabetes is a  good example of the next-generation damage that is cau sed by
dehydration. Whereas the onset of dehydration-induced diabetes is normally seen in the elderly and it is often
reversible, the more serious and structurally damaging variety of the disease is often inherited by th e offspring. Juvenile diabetes will need the same approach to its early preventive treatment before permanent structural
damage can take place. It should be remembered that the genetic transcription mechanism of the parents—in
particular the mother—if affecte d by amino acid pool imbalance, will be equally represented in the offspring. In
effect, this is how genetic damage and inherited disorders establish. What you will read in the next few paragraphs
is designed to show a representative process. INSUL IN-DEPENDENT DI ABETES
In insulin-dependent diabetes, the ability to produce insulin by pancreatic cel ls is lost. To control diabetes, actual
injections of insulin on a regular daily basis are essen tial. This condition is becoming slightly better understood. Within the process of protein breakdown to mobilize the amino acid reserves, cortisone-releasing mechanisms also
promote the secre tion of a substance called IL-1 (interleukin). There is a magnifying effect betwee n cortisone
release mechanisms and IL-1 production; each promotes the secretion of the other. IL-1 also promotes the
secretion of another subordinate substance called IL-6. Thus, co ntinued IL-1 production will drive a simultaneouspromotion of IL-6 production. It has been shown in cell cultures that IL-6 destroys the DNA str ucture of insulin-producing cells. These IL-6 treated
cells can not produce any more insulin. I assume (and have published this view) that continued dehydration and its
unchecked disturbance of the amino acid metabolism in the body is most probably responsible for the destruction of
DNA structure in the pancreas'
insulin-producing beta cells. Th us, dehydration and its promotion of stress physiology may ultimately also be
responsible for the emergence of insulin-dependent diabetes. •Hence, the paradigm shif t can scientifically explain the ro le of wa ter in disea se prevention and/or their  cure. With
strict and absolutely regular daily wa ter intake to prevent the stresses and associated damages of dehydration, the
chief conductor and superviso r of the body's we ll-being—tryptophan and its neurotransmitter derivatives, serotonin,
tryptamine and melatonin—wil l be well-positioned to regulate all functions. A balanced amino acid intake in simple
proteins will make  sure enough of all of them is made available to the body. Regular daily wa lks will keep muscles
well-coordinated and correct any physiological processes that are established in the body as a result of anxiety and
emotional "stress." •The above three musts are the most vital and basic anti-aging precautions. They are essential steps to very good
health and a well hydrated and healthy skin that needs wat er to constantly replace that which it loses to the outside
environment. That is when blood vessels to the face and the body will open up and provide necessary nourishment
for exposed skin cells. When the body is wel l hydrated, all of the physiological and hormonal prerequisites to a satisfying sex l ife and more-
than-adequate libido will be in place. In addition, one or two glasses o f water before "the event" will help in achieving
a firmer and sustained erection in men and the joys of participation in women. NEW IDEAS ON AIDS
In this section, I am sharing with you the result of many years of my own research into the physiological reasons and
relationships of Aquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (ADDS) to metabolism disturbance that can be caused by
severe emotional and physical stress. I  hold the idea that AIDS is not a viral disease but a metabolic disorder
precipitated by an exaggerated way of life. It can equally be caused by sev ere malnutrition in poorer and famine-
stricken societies. I know this view is co mpletely agains t current beliefs forced by media presentation of a  social
problem, b ut it is the responsibility of dedicated scientists to take into consideration and explore all aspects of this
problem. We are only now beginning to understand what AIDS m ay be. We know one thing it is not: a virus-
produced disease! At the end of this section, you will be introduced to unfolding events around AIDS re search. I will
also show you that I have been one of the leaders of the controversy. At this point, and through the perspective of a stress-induced metabolic system disturbance, a more accurate
understanding of AIDS m ay also become possible. We should not close our eyes to new information just because
we are sold on the idea that this condition is caused by a class of viruses conveniently called Human Immune
Deficiency Virus (HIV). For some time now, it has been scientifically shown and recognized that those suffering from AIDS demonstrate a
marked variation from the normal "amino acid pool composition"—the inventory of amino acids available in their
body. They are consistently and drastically sh ort of met hionine, cys tine and cysteine—very impo rtant amino acids. They also have a man ifold rise in levels of arginine and glutamate. This sta te of a very drastic a mino acid imbalance
seems to last for some time before the patient becomes very sick It seems in clinically obvious and recognizable
AIDS-su ffering people, this pattern for amino acid com position of the body is dominant. In the section on tryptophan,
it was explained that the amino acid pool composition of the body can  change and become depleted if some of them
are used up more than others. In a series of other experiments, when IL-6 and another similar substance (TNF  -tumor necrosis facto r) are added
to a cell culture medium that contains cells with the ability to produce the virus, particles labeled HIV are extruded. If,
before the addition of IL-6 or TNF, cysteine is added to the same culture medium, HIV p articles are not produced. Thus, there is a direct correlation between HIV production in AIDS a nd amino acid content of the virus-growing cell. It seems on the face of it that AIDS p atients are victims of an imbalance in their bodies' amino acid composition. If
they cou ld correct their protein metabolism, they might be able to survive, and their bodies might be able to produce
sufficient resistance to fight other acute infections. After all, even for the manufacture of antibodies to defend
against other bacteria, the body needs the basic a mino acid ingredients in their correct proportions. It is unfortunate that we are looking at the virus and not seeing the physiological imbalance in AIDS patients. It is
also unfortunate that we do not understand the subordinate metabolic roles of IL-6 to the cortisone-releasing
mechanism and IL-1 production. These agents, and others in their pack, are produced to mobilize primary raw
materials from body reserves to fight stress and repair possible damages cau sed by having confronted any
particular stressor. Their function is designed around the mechanism of breaking down proteins held in the muscle s
of the body and converting them to their basic amino acids for their use in the liver. So, the general direction in
severe stress-damage is to mobilize the essential ingredients for their emergency re-use—a process of feeding off
the body itself. A bruised boxer or a person traumatized in an accident or after repeated surgery will depend on these physiological
processes to clear the ineffective and nonviable tissue and repair and remodel the site of damage. If thereconstruction is extensive and IL-6 and its co mpanion TNF  are involved, breakdown of DNA o r RNA o f the
damaged and dying cells will produce exact fragments to dear the debris, very much like having to dismember the
steel structure of a large building that can not be "bulldozed away" and has to be carried off the site, a piece at a
time. This is a very well recognized process in the research of surgical wounds. It is most unfortunate that virologists a re presenting the "site clearing action" of these two agents in the body as
steps in the production of HIV in cell culture media. On this fragment of unconnected information is placed the whole
argument that AIDS is a  virus-cau sed disease. Why? Because a test has been designed that marks and shows the
particular fragments produced by IL-6 or TNF. It seems that some of these DNA or RNA particles are labeled as
HTV-a nd that is why th ere are several type s. It is more unfortunate that the amino acid com position of HTV it self
very much resembles that of vaso pressin. A vaccine th at would arrest HIV ac tivity will/mos t probably a rrest the
activity of vasopressin. This seems to be the reason a workable vaccine against HIV has not yet been produced. Unfortunate to the extreme is the "commercialization of the idea" that everyone who shows a positive HIV test will
soon die from AIDS,  because the anxiety of having an incurable

Waking UpT h e  P r e m i s e
Sitting alone in a six-seater private jet at forty
thousand feet is a very peaceful place. I fell into
meditation and my mind became very still. When I opened my eyes, I absorbed the
tremendous difference in my environment
from w hen I had first moved out to the woods
to b e al one and  meditate. Though I still lived in
those s ame woods, my place of solitude had
grown into a t hriving yoga community, and I
had bec ome CEO of the publi c corporation that
life had somehow magically manifested
around me. It was now perfectly clear to me
that all of these life experiences, including
running a business at this level, were doing as
much to free me spiritually as my years of
solitary medit ation. Just as Hercules used the
flow of rivers to clean out the Augean stables,
so the powerful flow of life was cleaning out
whatever was  left of me. I j ust kept letting go
and practicing  nonresistance, whether I liked
what was happening or not. It was in this
frame o f mind that I was flying off to Texas to
discuss the billion-dollar merger offer for my
company from a powerful CEO whom I had
never even met. My Reflections, May 1999
L ife rarely unfolds exactly as we want it to. And if we
stop an d think  about it, tha t makes perfect sense. The
scope of life is universal, and the fact that we are not
actually in control of life’s events should be self-evident. The uni verse h as been around for 13.8 bil lion yea rs, and
the processes that determine the flow of life around usdid not begin w hen we were born, nor will they end when
we die. What manifests in front of us at any given
moment is actually something truly extraordinary—it is
the end result of all the force s that have been interacting
together for billions of years. We are not responsible for
even the tiniest fraction of what is manifesting around
us. Nonetheles s, we walk a round constantly trying to
control and determine what will happen in our lives. No
wonder there’s so much tension, anxiety, and fear. Each
of u s actually b elieves that things should be the way we
want them, instead of being the natural result of all the
forces of creation. Every day, we give precedence to our mind’s thoughts
over the reality unfolding before us. We regularly say
things l ike, “It  better not ra in today because I’m going
camping” or “I better get that raise because I really need
the money.” Notice that these bold claims about what
should and shouldn’t be happening are not based on
scientific evid ence; they’re based solely on personal
preferences made up in our minds. Without realizing it,
we do this with  everything in our lives—it’s as though we
actually believe  that the world around us is supposed to
manifest in accordance to our  own likes and dislikes. If it
doesn’t, surely something is very wrong. This is an
extremely diffi cult way to live, and it is the reason we feel
that we are always struggling with life. Nonetheless, it  is also true that we are not powerless in
the face  of the events unfoldin g around us. We have been
gifted with the power of will. From deep inside, we can
determine how we want something to be and apply the
power of our minds, hearts, and bodies in an attempt to
make th e outside world conform. But this puts us in a
constant battle of our way versus the way it would be
without our intervention. This battle between individual
will and  the reality of life unfolding around us ends up
consuming ou r lives. When we win the battle, we are
happy a nd relaxed; when we don’t, we are disturbed andstressed. Since  most of us only feel good when things are
going our way, we are constantly attempting to control
everything in our lives. The que stion is, does it have to be this way? There is so
much evidence that life does quite well on its own. The
planets stay in orbit, tiny se eds grow into giant trees,
weather patterns have kept forests across the globe
watered for millions of years, and a single fertilized cell
grows into a b eautiful baby. We are not doing any of
these th ings as conscious acts of will; they are all being
done by the incomprehensible perfection of life itself. All
these a mazing events, and countless more, are being
carried out by forces of life that have been around for
billions of years—the very same forces of life that we are
consciously pit ting our will against on a daily basis. If the
natural unfolding of the process of life can create and
take care of the  entire universe, is it really reasonable for
us t o assume that nothing g ood will happen unless we
force it  to? It is to the exp loration of this intriguing
question that this book is devoted. How can there possibly be a more important question? If li fe can manifest the DNA molecule on its own, not to
mention create  the human brain, how is it that we feel
that we have t o control everything on our own? There
must b e another, more sane way to approach life. For
example, what would happen  if we respected the flow of
life and  used  our free wil l to participate in what’s
unfolding, instead of fighting it? What would be the
quality of the life that unfolds? Would it just be random
events with no order or meaning, or would the same
perfection of order and meaning that manifests in the
rest of the universe manifest in the everyday life around
us? What we have here is the  basis for an amazing
experiment. At  the heart of the experiment is a simple
question: Am I better off making up an alternate reality
in my mind and then fighting with reality to make it bemy way, or am  I better off letting go of what I want and
serving the same forces of reality that managed to create
the entire perfection of the universe around me? This
experiment would not be about dropping out of life; it
would b e about leaping into life to live in a place where
we are no longer controlled  by our personal fears and
desires. For lack of a better n ame, I have called this “the
surrender expe riment,” and to the best of my ability, I
have devoted the last forty years of my life to seeing
where the flow of life’s event s would naturally take me. What happene d over the course of these four decades is
nothing short of phenomenal. Not only did things not fall
apart, quite the opposite happened. As one thing
naturally followed the other, the flow of life’s events led
me on a journey that wou ld have been beyond my
comprehension. This book shares that journey with you
so that you can experience what happened when
someone dared to let go and trust the flow of life. Let it be clear right from the  start, however, that this
type of surren der does not mean living life without the
assertion of will. My story of  these forty years is simply
the stor y of what happened when the assertion of will
was guided by what life wa s doing instead of what I
wanted it to be doing. My personal experience is that
aligning one’s will with the natural forces unfolding
around us leads to some surprisingly powerful results. The onl y effective way to shar e the results of this great
experiment is to allow you to see how I got pulled into
living this way and then al low you to experience the
journey as I did. In what follows, you are about to
encounter a set of life experi ences that are bound to be
very different from your own. I share these with you only
because as human beings w e have the extraordinary
ability to learn from one another’s experiences. You don’t
have to live a s I did in order to be affected by what
happened to me. The unexpected events that unfolded
before me not only changed my life, they changed myentire view of life and left me with a sense of deep inner
peace. Hopefully, sharing my surrender experiment with
you will encourage you to find a more peaceful and
harmonious wa y to live your life and to better appreciate
the amazing perfection that unfolds around us.1. N o t  w i t h  a  S h o u t — B u t  w i t h  a  W h i s p e r

eel	a	tolerable	need	for	air.Exercise	provides	three	ways	to
create	your	need	for	air:
1
. Go	faster	with	your	mouth	closed;
2
. Breathe	less	during	exercise;
3
. Practice	breath	holds	during	exercise	(explained	in	detail	further
on). If	your	need	for	air	is	so	great	that	you	need	to	open	your	mouth,	slow	down
and	calm	your	breathing. You	recover	faster	if	you	keep	your	mouth	closed. If
you	are	walking	for	exercise,	walk	alone	or	agree	with	your	walking	partner
to	not	talk. Talking	will	only	undo	the	benefits	of	exercise.Feel	relaxed	throughout
A
s	you	commence	your	physical	exercise,	alternate	your	attention	between
your	breathing	and	your	inner	body. Exercise	is	your	time,	so	don’t	spend	it
worrying	about	problems. For	the	half	hour,	make	a	commitment	to	yourself
to	bring	your	attention	to	your	breath	or	body	over	and	over	again. Each	day,	I	try	to	get	out	for	one	hour	of	exercise. I	thrive	on	it	and	if	I	cannot
do	it	because	of	rainy	weather,	I	feel	like	I	missed	something	from	my	day. As	I	walk,	I	bring	attention	to	my	breath. I	follow	my	breath	and	breathe
diaphragmatically. I	sense	the	area	around	my	tummy. If	it	is	tense,	I	bring
attention	to	it	and	encourage	it	to	relax. Any	tension	will	dissolve	with	a	little
imagination	and	mental	encouragement. I	bring	attention	to	my	breath. I
follow	my	breath. Is	it	quick? Is	it	easy? Is	it	fast? Is	it	hard? Is	there	a	need
for	air? Is	there	no	need	for	air? I	follow	my	breath. I	don’t	analyze	it. I	just
sense	it. At	first,	my	breath	is	relatively	quiet. I	walk	for	the	first	ten	minutes	to
accumulate	carbon	dioxide	before	I	increase	my	pace. This	helps	keep	my
breathing	calm	as	I	move	to	a	jog. During	my	jog,	I	just	follow	my	breath,
keep	my	attention	on	my	inner	body	and	feel	relaxed. It	is	wonderful	to	bring
attention	from	your	head	and	into	the	body. After	ten	minutes,	I	increase	my	pace	to	a	jog. I	keep	my	mouth	closed	for	the
entire	duration	of	my	jog. I	continue	to	watch	my	breath	and	feel	my	inner
body. I	can	feel	slight	vibrations	rising	through	my	body	as	I	take	each	step. At	the	same	time,	I	try	to	completely	relax	my	tummy. Sometimes,	thoughts
enter. I	keep	an	eye	out	for	them	and,	as	soon	as	they	enter,	I	bring	attention
back	to	my	breath. This	type	of	physical	exercise	is	a	form	of	meditation	and	is	a	great
opportunity	to	take	attention	from	my	mind	and	bring	it	to	the	inner	body. In
addition,	because	I	push	my	body	a	little,	my	mind	activity	stops. After	a	few
minutes,	I	can	feel	the	high	from	exercise. My	body	is	warm	and	sweating,
my	breathing	is	faster	and	my	head	is	clear. Because	I	keep	my	mouth	closed
throughout	my	jog,	my	breathing	recovers	quickly. No	matter	what	exercise	you	do,	watch	your	breath	and	feel	your	inner	body. Repeat	to	the	tension	around	your	tummy:	relax,	relax,	relax.How	to	determine	if	you	are	breathing	correctly	during	physical	exercise

Measure	your	CP	before	exercise;

Perform	physical	exercise;

Measure	your	CP	15–30	minutes	after	you	have	completed	your	exercise. Your	CP	measurement	15	minutes	after	exercise	should	be	greater	than	your
CP	measurement	before	exercise. Bear	in	mind	two	points:
1
. If	your	CP	is	measured	immediately	after	exercise,	it	will	probably	be
lower	than	you’re	starting	CP	because	of	the	existing	air	shortage. 2
. If	30	minutes	after	exercise	your	CP	is	still	lower	than	your	starting	CP,
you	were	breathing	excessively	during	exercise.People	who	exercise	are	more	relaxed
S
tress	reflects	changes	in	our	body	primarily	to	help	us. When	we	are
stressed,	the	fight	or	flight	response	has	been	activated	and	our	body	is
programmed	for	physical	activity. To	release	this	activation,	go	out	for	a	walk
or	a	jog	or	whatever	exercise	you	enjoy. If	you	are	unable	to	remove	yourself
from	your	environment,	control	your	breathing	and,	later	that	day,	ensure	to
get	physical	activity. Those	who	exercise	regularly	are	calmer	and	more	productive	than	their
colleagues. Exercise	enables	quicker	recovery	after	activation	of	the	fight	or
flight	response. Chemicals	that	are	released	are	removed	quicker	and	your
body’s	systems	can	return	to	their	normal	operating	rates. Exercise	also
releases	pent-up	negative	energy,	enhances	self-esteem	and	is	a	useful	tool	to
use	to	escape	from	work	and	other	commitments. The	following	is	a	summary	of	the	key	points	regarding	physical	exercise
. 1
. It	is	absolutely	essential	to	do	physical	exercise. 2
. Exercise	within	your	capabilities. 3
. Never	breathe	through	your	mouth	during	exercise	if	your	CP	is	less	than
20	seconds. 4
. The	lower	you’re	CP,	the	more	careful	you	should	be	while	performing
physical	exercise. 5
. Feel	the	need	for	air	during	physical	exercise. 6
. Perform	thirty	minutes	to	one	hour	of	physical	exercise	per	day. 7
. Make	sure	to	go	gently	with	your	mouth	closed	for	the	first	10	minutes. 8
. Make	sure	to	calm	your	breathing	immediately	following	exercise. 9
. Walk,	don’t	talk.Breath	hold	during	exercise
T
his	exercise	involves	holding	your	breath	on	the	out-breath	while	engaging
in	any	physical	activity. You	can	do	this	while	walking,	skipping,	using	a
trampoline,	cycling,	etc. This	is	a	very	effective	exercise	for	ensuring	that	your	breathing	is	reduced,
calm	and	gentle	during	the	day. The	length	of	time	of	your	breath	hold
depends	on	the	state	of	your	health	and	you’re	CP. While	walking	breathe	in,	breathe	out	and	hold	your	breath
Walk	5	to	20	paces	with	your	breath	held
Resume	breathing	and	continue	to	walk
After	30	seconds	to	1	minute	of	walking	with	normal	breathing,	repeat
breath	hold	as	above
Repeat	small	breath	hold	every	half	minute	to	one	minute
Ensure	that	your	inner	body	is	relaxed	throughout
If	there	is	tension	in	your	tummy	or	chest,	encourage	this	area	to	relaxMaintain	control	of	your	breathing	throughout

There	is	no	hard	and	fast	rule	as	to	how	many	times	you	do	this. The	more
often	you	perform	breath	holds	throughout	the	day,	the	better. The	objective
with	any	exercise	is	to	produce	a	sweat	and	feel	warmer. This	exercise	is	far
better	than	walking	alone,	as	it	creates	a	slightly	higher	air	shortage. If	you	do	experience	a	slight	headache	while	walking	with	breath	holds,
don’t	be	concerned. This	is	a	good	sign	and	indicates	increased	CO
2
levels. Your	headache	w


	times	higher
	among	American	men	than	rural	Chinese	men. 13
The	American	death	rate	from	breast	cancer	was
five	times	higher
	than	the
rural	Chinese	rate. Even	more	remarkable	were	the	extraordinarily	low	rates	of	coronary	heart
disease	(CHD)	in	the	southwestern	Chinese	provinces	of	Sichuan	and
Guizhou. During	a	three-year	observation	period	(1973–1975),	there	was	not
one	single	person	who	died	of	CHD	before	the	age	of	sixty-four,	among
246,000	men	in	a	Guizhou	county	and	181,000	women	in	a	Sichuan	county! 14
After	these	low	cholesterol	data	were	made	public,	I	learned	from	three
very	prominent	heart	disease	researchers	and	physicians,	Drs. Bill	Castelli,
Bill	Roberts	and	Caldwell	Esselstyn,	Jr.,	that	in	their	long	careers	they	had
never	seen	a	heart	disease	fatality	among	their	patients	who	had	blood
cholesterol	levels	below	150	mg/dL. Dr.	Castelli	was	the	long-time	director	of
the	famous	Framingham	Heart	Study	of	NIH;	Dr.	Esselstyn	was	a	renowned
surgeon	at	the	Cleveland	Clinic	who	did	a	remarkable	study	reversing	heart
disease	(chapter	five);	Dr.	Roberts	has	long	been	editor	of	the	prestigiousmedical	journal
Cardiology.BLOOD	CHOLESTEROL	AND	DIET
Blood	cholesterol	is	clearly	an	important	indicator	of	disease	risk. The	big
question	is:	how	will	food	affect	blood	cholesterol? In	brief,	animal-based
foods	were	correlated	with
increasing
	blood	cholesterol	(
Chart	4.5
). With
almost	no	exceptions,	nutrients	from	plant-based	foods	were	associated	with
decreasing
	levels	of	blood	cholesterol. Several	studies	have	now	shown,	in	both	experimental	animals	and	in
humans,	that	consuming	animal-based	protein	increases	blood	cholesterol
levels. 15–18
	Saturated	fat	and	dietary	cholesterol	also	raise	blood	cholesterol,
although	these	nutrients	are	not	as	effective	at	doing	this	as	is	animal	protein. In	contrast,	plant-based	foods	contain	no	cholesterol	and,	in	various	other
ways,	help	to	decrease	the	amount	of	cholesterol	made	by	the	body. All	of	this
was	consistent	with	the	findings	from	the	China	Study. CHART	4.5. FOODS	ASSOCIATED	WITH	BLOOD	CHOLESTEROL

goes	down. These	disease	associations	with	blood	cholesterol	were	remarkable,
because	blood	cholesterol	and	animal-based	food	consumption	both	were	so
low	by	American	standards. In	rural	China,	animal	protein	intake	(for	the
same	individual)	averages	only	7.1	g/day	whereas	Americans	average	a
whopping	70	g/day. To	put	this	into	perspective,	seven	grams	of	animal
protein	is	found	in	about	three	chicken	nuggets	from	McDonald’s. We
expected	that	when	animal	protein	consumption	and	blood	cholesterol	levels
were	as	low	as	they	are	in	rural	China,	there	would	be	no	further	association
with	the	Western	diseases. But	we	were	wrong. Even	these	small	amounts	of
animal-based	food	in	rural	China	raised	the	risk	for	Western	diseases. We	studied	dietary	effects	on	the	different	types	of	blood	cholesterol. The
same	dramatic	effects	were	seen. Animal	protein	consumption	by
men	was
associated	with	increasing	levels	of	“bad”	blood	cholesterol

	whereas	plant
protein	consumption	was	associated	with	decreasing	levels	of	this	samecholesterol. II
Walk	into	almost	any	doctor’s	office	and	ask	which	dietary	factors	affect
blood	cholesterol	levels	and	he	or	she	will	likely	mention	saturated	fat	and
dietary	cholesterol. In	more	recent	decades,	some	might	also	mention	the
cholesterol-lowering	effect	of	soy	or	high-fiber	bran	products,	but	few	will
say	that	animal	protein	has	anything	to	do	with	blood	cholesterol	levels. It	has	always	been	this	way. While	on	sabbatical	at	the	University	of
Oxford,	I	attended	lectures	given	to	medical	students	on	the	dietary	causes	of
heart	disease	by	one	of	their	prominent	professors	of	medicine. He	went	on
and	on	about	the	adverse	effects	of	saturated	fat	and	cholesterol	intakes	on
coronary	heart	disease	as	if	these	were	the	only	dietary	factors	that	were
important. He	was	unwilling	to	concede	that	animal	protein	consumption	had
anything	to	do	with	blood	cholesterol	levels,	even	though	the	evidence	at	that
time	made	it	abundantly	clear	that	animal	protein	was	more	strongly
correlated	with	blood	cholesterol	levels	than	saturated	fat	and	dietary
cholesterol. 15
	Like	too	many	others,	his	blind	faith	in	the	status	quo	left	him
unwilling	to	be	open-minded. As	these	findings	poured	in,	I	was	beginning	to
discover	that	being	open-minded	was	not	a	luxury,	but	a	necessity.FAT	AND	BREAST	CANCER
If	there	were	some	sort	of	nutrition	parade,	and	each	nutrient	had	a	float,	by
far	the	biggest	would	belong	to	fat. So	many	people,	from	researchers	to
educators,	from	government	policy	makers	to	industry	representatives,	have
investigated	or	made	pronouncements	on	fat	for	so	long. People	from	a	huge
number	of	different	communities	have	been	constructing	this	behemoth	for
over	half	a	century. As	this	strange	parade	got	started	on	Main	Street,	USA,	the	attention	of
everyone	sitting	on	the	sidewalks	would	inevitably	be	drawn	to	the	fat	float. Most	people	might	see	the	fat	float	and	say,	“I	should	stay	away	from	that,”
and	then	eat	a	hefty	piece	of	it. Others	would	climb	on	the	unsaturated	half	of
the	float	and	say	that	these	fats	are	healthy	and	only	saturated	fats	are	bad. Many	scientists	would	point	fingers	at	the	fat	float	and	claim	that	the	heart
disease	and	cancer	clowns	are	hiding	inside. Meanwhile,	some	self-
proclaimed	diet	gurus,	like	the	late	Dr.	Robert	Atkins,	might	set	up	shop	on
the	float	and	start	selling	books. At	the
end	of	the	day	the	average	person	who
gorged	on	the	float	would	be	left	scratching	his	head	and	feeling	queasy,
wondering	what	he	should	have	done	and	why. There’s	good	reason	for	the	average	consumer	to	be	confused. The
unanswered	questions	on	fat	remain	unanswered,	as	they	have	for	the	past
forty	years. How	much


Dr.	Demas’s	program	is	entirely	plant-
based. I	had	the	opportunity	to	go	to	Washington	and	talk	with	Dr.	Eileen
Kennedy,	who,	at	the	time,	was	the	director	of	the	Center	for	Nutrition	Policy
and	Promotion	at	the	USDA. Dr.	Kennedy	was	deeply	involved	both	in	the
school	lunch	program	and	the	dietary	guidelines	committee,	on	which	it	was
revealed	that	she	had	ties	to	the	dairy	industry. She	is	now	the	Deputy
Undersecretary	for	the	USDA’s	Research,	Education	and	Economics	division. The	topic	of	our	discussion	was	Dr.	Demas’s	innovative	school	lunch	program
and	how	it	was	garnering	national	attention. At	the	end	of	this	discussion,	I
said	to	her,	“You	know,	that	program	is	entirely	plant-based.”	She	looked	at
me,	wagged	her	finger	as	if	I	were	being	a	bad	boy,	and	said,	“
We	can’t	havethat
.”
I	have	come	to	the	conclusion	that	when	it	comes	to	health,	government	is
not	for	the	people;	it	is	for	the	food	industry	and	the	pharmaceutical	industry
at	the	expense	of	the	people. It	is	a	systemic	problem	where	industry,
academia	and	government	combine	to	determine	the	health	of	this	country. Industry	provides	funding	for	public	health	reports,	and	academic	leaders	with
industry	ties	play	key	roles	in	developing	them. A	revolving	door	exists
between	government	jobs	and	industry
jobs,	and	government	research	funding
goes	to	the	development	of	drugs	and	devices	instead	of	healthy	nutrition. It	is
a	system	built	by	people	who	play	their	isolated	parts,	oftentimes	unaware	of
the	top	decision	makers	and	their	ulterior	motivations. The	system	is	a	waste
of	taxpayer	money	and	is	profoundly	damaging	to	our	health.17
Big	Medicine:	Whose	Health	Are	They

HEN	IS	THE	LAST	TIME
	that	you	went	to	the	doctor	and	he	or	she	told	you	what
to	eat	or	what	not	to	eat? You’ve	probably	never	had	that	experience. But	the
vast	majority	of	Americans	will	fall	prey	to	one	of	the	chronic	diseases	of
affluence	discussed	in
Part	II
,	and,	as	you	have	seen,	there	is	a	wealth	of
published	research	that	suggests	these	diseases	are	a	result	of	poor	nutrition,
not	poor	genes	or	bad	luck. So	why	doesn’t	the	medical	system	take	nutrition
seriously? Four	words:	money,	ego,	power	and	control. While	it	is	unfair	to
generalize	about	individual	doctors,	it	is	safe	to	say	that	the	system	they	work
in,	the	system	that	currently	takes	responsibility	for	promoting	the	health	of
Americans,	is	failing	us. No	one	knows	this	better	than	the	tiny	minority	of
doctors	who	treat	their	patients	from	a	nutritional	perspective. Two	of	the
most	prominent	doctors	in	this	minority	have	spent	many	years	emphasizing
diet	and	health,	both	in	public	within	their	profession	and	in	private	with	their
patients. They	have	had	exceptionally	impressive	results	protecting	their
patients’	health. These	two	doctors	are	Caldwell	B.	Esselstyn,	Jr.,	whose	work
I	discussed	in	chapter	five,	and	John	McDougall,	an	internist. My	son	Tom
and	I	sat	down	with	these	men	recently	to	discuss	their	experience	advocating
a	whole	foods,	plant-based	diet	in	the	medical	setting.DR. SPROUTS
Long	before	our	country	was	founded,	Dutch	pioneers	had	settled	in	the
Hudson	Valley	north	of	New	York	City. One	of	these	settler	families	were	the
Esselstyns. They	started	farming	a	plot	of	land	in	1675. Nine	generations
later,	that	farm	still	belongs	to	the	Esselstyn	family. Dr.	Esselstyn	and	his	wife
Ann	own	the	several-hundred-acre	Hudson	Valley	farm,	just	over	two	hours
north	of	New	York	City. They	spent	the	summer	of	2003	living	in	the	country,
working	the	farm,	growing	a	garden,	hosting	their	kids	and	grandkids	and
enjoying	a	more	relaxed	life	than	what	they’re	used	to	in	Cleveland,	Ohio. Ess	and	Ann	have	a	modest	house:	a	large,	rectangular,	converted	storage
building. The	simplicity	of	it	belies	the	fact	that	this	is	one	of	the	oldest
family	farms	in	America. Only	upon	closer	inspection	does	it	become
apparent	that	there	is	something	unusual	about	this	place. Hanging	on	the	wall
is	a	framed	certificate	from	New	York	State	given	to	the	Esselstyn	family	in
recognition	of	their	family	farm,	a	farm	that	has	now	seen	parts	of	five
different	centuries. Nearby	an	oar	hangs	on	the	wall. It	is	the	oar	Ess	used	in
1955	as	an	oarsman	at	Yale,	when	Yale	beat	Harvard	by	five	seconds. Ess
explains	he	has	three	other	oars:	two	from	beating	Harvard	in	other	years,	and
one	for	winning	the	gold	medal	in	the	Olympics	with	the	Yale	crew	in	1956. Downstairs,	there	is	an	exceptionally	old	photograph	of	Ess’s	great	great
grandfather	on	the	farm. Around	the	corner	there’s	an	impressive-looking
museum-style	schematic	of	the	Esselstyn	family	tree,	and	on	the	other	end	of
the	hall,	there’s	a	large	black	and	white	picture	of	Ess’s	father	standing	in
front	of	a	microphone,	exchanging	comments	with	John	F.	Kennedy	during	a
White	House	address. Despite	its	humble	appearance,	it	is	very	clear	that	this
is	a	place	with	a	distinguished	history. After	touring	the	farm	on	a	tractor,	we	sat	down	with	Ess	and	asked	him
about	his	past. After	graduating	from	Yale,	he	was	trained	as	a	surgeon	at	the
Cleveland	Clinic	and	at	St.	George’s	Hospital	in	London. He	remembers
fondly	some	of	his	most	influential	mentors:	Dr.	George	Crile,	Jr.,	Dr.
Turnbull	and	Dr.	Brook. Dr.	Crile,	a	giant	at	the	Cleveland	Clinic,	eventually
became	Ess’s	father-in-law	upon	Ess’s	marriage	to	Ann. Dr.	Crile	was	a	man
of	exceptional	accomplishment,	playing	a	courageous,	leading	role	in
questioning	the	macabre	surgery	called	“radical	mastectomy.”
1
	Dr.	Turnbull
and	Dr.	Brook	were	also	renowned
surgeons. In	addition,	Ess’s	own	father
was	a	distinguished	physician	with	a	national	reputation. But,	as	Ess
remembers,	despite	being	“health	experts,”	all	four	of	these	men	were
“ravaged	by	cardiovascular	disease.”	His	own	father	had	a	heart	attack	at	age
forty-two	and	Dr.	Brook	had	a	heart	attack	at	age	fifty-two.These	were	the	men	he	looked	up	to,	and	when	it	came	to	cardiovascular
disease,	all	of	them	were	helpless. Shaking	his	head,	Ess	said,	“You	can’t
escape	this	disease. These	people,	who	were	giants	in	the	prime	of	their	years,
just
withered

 SALAD  DRESSINGS
   The following recipes for uncooked salad dressings may be
prepared in the electric blender. For recipes containing no oil, simply put all ingredients into the blender, switch on the
motor, and let run until ingredients are perfectly emulsified. For mayonnaise and other oil dressings, mix all ingredients except oil first. Then pour oil into blender very slowly while
mixture is turning. This assures a smooth, fluffy dressing in
which the oil is completely emulsified with other ingredients. Uncooked dressings may be stored under refrigeration in
labeled fruit jars or bottles. Due to the presence of enzymes,
they will not keep as long as ordinary dressings. MAYONNAISE

 in water: flaxseed tea: liquid chlorophyll: crushed Green Life tablets and water. Clay water is a very soo thing
implant to use occasionally. Aloe vera gel and water can also be used as a healer for the inflamed tissue of the colon. The implants
should all be used at body temperature; the rectum will expel cold water quicker. Some doctors recommend yogurt or buttermilk  as
implants, these are fine, but when on the colema treatme nts, I feel the ones I’ve mentioned above are best. Buttermilk implants can
help remove extreme intestinal gas. Vinegar and water implants can help rid the bowel of acid and germ life. Garlic oil can h elp
eliminate pinworms in children. QUESTION Does the b owel become better using colemas, and will the water reach the small intestine? ANSWER I believe the large intestine is best cared for through colemas and eventually it becomes stronger. The tone built up will
be transferred to the whole bowel. The most di fficult to care for is the ascending colon where the toxic material is thrown into the
large colon. As you develop bowel tone, better bowel movements are attained and there is less toxic material to deal with, so  the
tissue becomes better. QUESTION Can div erticuli be reversed? ANSWER This condition represents a combination of inherited bowel qualities and improper diet/eating habits. It can be correc ted
with colemas, proper eating and proper exercises, using the slant board. QUESTION Why do I feel weak, esp ecially after the colema? ANSWER Colemas are a cleansing treatment, and your body is working to remove toxic material. That’s why you’re weak and
that’s why it is so important to rest for half an hour after each colema. QUESTION Should we continue with the  vinegar and honey at mealtime when we go home? ANSWER Take the bulk, vinegar and honey twice a day, morning and night, when you go off the fast. This will continue for
several months. QUESTION I’ve noticed my heart seems to be pounding: could it be overwo rking? ANSWER It could be that you’re working more and you should rest. The pounding could also be caused by gas pressure. QUESTION Is it better to crush the tablets we are taking now? ANSWER No, just crack them once before swallowing. QUESTION What can I do to make my body absorb proteins better? ANSWER Emotional strain breaks down this ability more than anything. Then, of course, we have to get sodium back into the
stomach wall to help digest protein. Take the more easily digested proteins also. QUESTION Clay water seems to constipate me in taking the colema. Coffee seems to work better. ANSWER Clay water does have a tendency toward constipation - but it is very soothing to an irritated bowel. It absorbs 90 times
its own weight of acid excretions in the bo wel, so it is the greatest cleanser available. It attracts material to be eliminated. The
coffee enema is a stimulant to most people. You can’t be constipated very long on this treatment. QUESTION Can I mix coffee with the clay water? ANSWER It’s best not to mix the two, because they have separate effects. Clay water is quite alkaline and coffee is acid. That’s
why you use cider vinegar in the coffee enema. QUESTION Is it better to take the colema before or after supplements? ANSWER Take supplements after t he colema. QUESTION What is the best time of day to take the colema? ANSWER In the morning. If this isn’t possible, take it at night, but take it once a day. HERING’S LAW OF CURE
I work with the purest ideas possible, the best foods possible, the best pro cesses possible, and in working with these ideals, we
work with the reversal process. As you have built up the disease through the acute, subacute, chronic and degenerative stages, we
reverse and correct these conditions as we go back over our past problem s. As you have built up conditions in the body through
foods, pollution, overwork, enervation, life style, etc., we have to learn our lesson and go back over them and relive them, so to
speak. You can expect all of these problems to return as you get well. This is best described in my book DOCTOR -PATIENT
HANDBOOK. If you truly want to get well, this process must be followed. We find that “Hering’s Law of Cure” appears in the
reversal process as healing takes place. In this process the body eliminates iatrog enic symptoms and diseases, those things
caused by treatments that were suppressive in nature and usually involved a drug of some kind. Latent settlements of any fore ign
accumulations leave the body mainly through the bowel as a liquified form of mucus or catarrh. For example, we had an asthma
patient who received much relief from the tissue cleansing treatment but developed an extreme uterine abscess which broke sho rtly
after the treatment and discharged the foulest material possible and continued for a mo nth after. She lost extreme weight and will
not gain until after the discharge culminates. She needed the assistance of a tissue cleansing treatment to bring on an elimi nation. This latent tumor or abscess was suppressed. Discharge from lungs, bronchials, head, ears and nose for 17 years, and of course,
always suppressed it with some form of drug. I have said so many times —if you suppress or don’t allow a discharge to continue
until you are clean inside, you will develop a growth —and she did just that. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SKIN BRUSHING
I believe skin brushing is one of the finest of all baths. NO soap can wash the skin as clean as the new skin you have under the old. You make new skin every 24 hours on the body. The skin will be as clears as the blood is. Skin  brushing removes this top layer. This helps to eliminate uric acid crystals, catarrh and various other acids in the body. The skin should eliminate two pounds  of
waste acids daily. Keep the skin active. No one can be well wearing clothes unless they brush  their skin. It is the greatest
method to remove the scurf rim as found in the eye, which denotes an underactive, poorly eliminating skin. Use a natural bris tle
brush with a long handle. It is not an expensive brush. DO NOT USE A NYLON BRISTLE BRUSH. Use t his brush dry, first
thing in the morning when you arise before putting clothes on and before any bath. Use it in any direction all over the whole  body
except the face. You can use a special face brush for the face. DR. JENSEN’S BALANCED DAILY EATING REGI MEN
Make a habit of applying the following General Diet Regimen to your everyday living. This is a healthy way to live because wh en
followed, you do not have to think of vitamins, mineral elements or calories. I will give you more specific instruction for your
troubles after you have made this daily regimen automatic. The best diet, over a period of a day, is two different fruit, at least four
to six vegetables, one protein and one starch, with fruit or vegetable juices between meals. Eat at least two green  leafy vegetables a
day. The foods you eat daily should be 50 -60% raw. Consider this regimen a dietetic law. RULES OF EATING
1. Do not fry foods or use heated oils. 2. If not entirely comfortable in mind and body from the previous meal time, you should mi ss the next meal. 3. Do not eat unless you have a keen desire for the plainest food. 4. Do not eat beyond your needs. 5. Be sure to thoroughly masticate your food. 6. Miss meals if in pain, emotionally upset, not hungry, chilled, overheated and during acut e illness. GOOD THOUGHTS, GOOD WORDS, GOOD DEEDS
(The Formula for Healthy Living)
Learn to accept whatever decision is made. Let the other person make a mistake and learn. Learn to forgive and forget. Be thankful and bless people. Live in harmony —even if it is good for you. Do not talk about your illness. Gossip will kill you. Don’t let anyone gossip to you either. Gossip that comes through the grapevine is usually sour grapes. Be by yourself every day for 10 minutes with the thought of how to make yoursel f a better person. Replace negative thoughts with
uplifting, positive thoughts. Skin brush daily. Use a slant board daily. Have citrus fruit in sections only, never in juice form.

Now we turn to a story in the 5th chapter of the Gospel of John. This will
show you how beautifully the ancient story tellers told of the two distinct
outlooks on this world – one, the limited three-dimensional focus, and the
other, the fourth-dimensional focus. This story tells of an impotent man who is quickly healed. Jesus comes to
a place called Bethesda, which by definition means the House of Five
Porches. On these Five Porches are unnumbered impotent folk – lame,
blind, halt, withered, and others. Tradition had it that at certain seasons
of the year an angel would descend and disturb the pool which was near
these Five Porches. As the Angel disturbed the pool, the first one in was
always healed. But only the first one, not the second. Jesus, seeing a man who was lame from his mother's womb, said to him,
“Wilt thou be made whole. ” (John 5:6). “The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is
troubled, to put me into the pool – but while I am coming, another step -
peth down before me. ” (John 5:7). “Jesus saith unto him. Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. ” (John 5:8). “And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and
walked, and on the same day was the Sabbath. ” (John 5:9). You read this story and you think some strange man who possessed
miraculous power suddenly said to the lame man, “Rise and walk. ” I can -
not repeat too often that the story, even when it introduces numberless
individualities, takes place within the mind of the individual man. The pool is your consciousness. The angel is an idea, called the messen -
ger of God. Consciousness being God, when you have an idea you are en -
tertaining an angel. The minute you are conscious of a desire your pool
has been disturbed. Desire disturbs the mind of man. To want something
is to be disturbed. The very moment you have an ambition, or a clearly defined objective,
the pool has been disturbed by the angel, which was the desire. You are
told that the first one into the disturbed pool is always healed. My closest companions in this world, my wife and my little girl, are to me
when I address them, second. I must speak to my wife as, “you are. ” I
must speak to anyone, no matter how close they are, as “you are. ” And
after that the third person, “he is. ” There is only one person in this world
with whom I can use the first person present and that is self. “I am,” can
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenbe said only of myself, it cannot be said of another. Therefore, when I am conscious of some desire that I want to be, but
seemingly am not, the pool being disturbed, who can get into that pool
before me. I alone possess the power of the first person. I am that which
I want to be. Except I believe I am what I want to be, I remain as I for -
merly was and die in that limitation. In this story you need no man to put you into the pool as your conscious -
ness is disturbed by desire. All you need do is to assume you are already
that which formerly you wanted to be and you are in it, and no man can
get in before you. What man can get in before you when you become con -
scious of being that which you want to be. No one can be before you
when you alone possess the power to say I AM. These are the two outlooks. You are now what your senses would deny. Are you bold enough to assume that you are already that which you want
to be. If you dare assume you are already that which your reason and
your senses now deny, then you are in the pool and, unaided by a man,
you, too, will rise and take your couch and walk. You are told it happened on the Sabbath. The Sabbath is only the mystical
sense of stillness, when you are unconcerned, when you are not anxious,
when you are not looking  for results, knowing that signs follow and do
not precede. The Sabbath is the day of stillness wherein there is no working. When you
are not working to make it so you are in the Sabbath. When you are not
at all concerned about the opinion of others, when you walk as though
you were, you cannot raise one finger to make it so, you are in the Sab -
bath. I cannot be concerned as to how it will be, and still say I am con -
scious of being it. If I am conscious of being free, secure, healthy, and
happy, I sustain these states of consciousness without effort or labor on
my part. Therefore, I am in the Sabbath; and because it was the Sabbath

Our next story is from the 4th chapter of the Gospel of John, and it is one
you have heard time and time again. Jesus comes to the well and there is
a woman called the woman of Samaria, and he said to her, “Give me to
drink. ” (John 4:7). “Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a
Jew, asketh drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria. For the Jews
have no dealings with the Samaritans. ” (John 4:9). More Free Books Law of Attraction Haven“Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and
who it is that saith to thee, Give me a drink; thou wouldest have asked of
him, and he would have given thee living water. ” (John 4:10). The woman seeing that he has nothing with which to draw the water, and
knowing the well is deep, says: Art thou greater than our father Jacob,
which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and
his cattle. ” (John 4:12). “Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall
thirst again – but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him
shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well
of water springing up into everlasting life. ” (John 4:13, 14). Then he tells her all concerning herself and asks her to go and call her
husband. She answered and said, “I have no husband. ” (John 4:17). “Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: For thou
hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband. ”
(John 4:17, 18). The woman, knowing this to be true, goes into the market place and tells
the other, “I have met the Messiah. ”
They ask her, “How do you know you have met the Messiah. ”
“Because he told me all things that I have ever done. ” she replies. Here is
a focus that takes in the entire past at least, and tells her now concerning
the future. Continuing with the story, the disciples come to Jesus and say, “Master,
eat. ” (John 4:31). “But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. ” (John
4:32). When they speak of a harvest in four months, Jesus replies, “Say not ye,
there are yet four months, and then cometh harvest. Behold, I say unto
you, lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already in
harvest. ” (John 4:35). He sees things that people wait four months for, or wait four years for; he
sees them as in a dimensionally larger world, existing now, taking place
now. Let us go back to the first part of the story. The woman of Samaria is the

on the other side, the things that aren't currently working the
way you want them to work, don't spend your energy faulting

are worth their weight in gold. Praise and bless everything in your
life! When you are praising or blessing you are on the highest fre-
quency of love. In the Bible, the Hebrews used the act of blessing to
bring forth health, wealth, and happiness. They knew the power of
blessing. For many people the only time they have blessed some-
one was when they sneezed, and so they have not used one of
the greatest powers to their full advantage. The dictionary defines
blessing as "invoking divine favor and conferring well-being or
prosperity," so begin right now to invoke the power of blessing in
your life, and bless everything and everyone. Likewise with prais-

Most of the leaders in the past missed the great part of The
Secret, which is to empower and share with others. This is the best time to have ever been alive in history. It's the
first time we've ever had the power to gain knowledge at our
fingertips. With this knowledge you are becoming aware—of the truth of the
world, and yourself. My greatest insights into The Secret on the
subject of the world came from the teachings of Robert Collier,
Prentice Mulford, Charles Haanel, and Michael Bernard Beckwith. With that understanding came total freedom. I truly hope that
you can come to the place of that same freedom. If you can, then
through your existence and the power of your thoughts, you will
bring the greatest good to this world and to the future of all hu-
mankind. • What you resist, you attract, because you are powerfully focused
on it with emotion. To change anything, go within and emit a new
signal with your thoughts and feelings. • You cannot help the world by focusing on the negative things. As
you focus on the world's negative events, you not only add to them,
but you also bring more negative things into your own life. • Instead of focusing on the world's problems, give your attention and
energy to trust, love, abundance, education, and peace. • We will never run out of good things because there's more than
enough to go around for everyone. Life is meant to be abundant. • You have the ability to tap into the unlimited supply through your
thoughts and feelings and bring it into your experience. • Praise and bless everything in the world, and you will dissolve
negativity and discord and align yourself with the highest fre-
quency—love. 153 DR. JOHN HAGELIN

and then individuals, and then inside of this body are organ
systems, then cells, then molecules, and then atoms. And then
there is energy. So there are a lot of levels to think about, but
everything in the Universe is energy. When I discovered The Secret I wanted to know what science and
physics understood in terms of this knowledge. What I found was
absolutely amazing. One of the most exciting things about living
in this time is that the discoveries of quantum physics and new
science are in total harmony with the teachings of The Secret, and
with what all the great teachers have known throughout history. I never studied science or physics at school, and yet when I read
complex books on quantum physics I understood them perfectly
because I wanted to understand them. The study of quantum phys-
ics helped me to have a deeper understanding of The Secret, on an
energetic level. For many people, their belief is strengthened when
they see the perfect correlation between the knowledge of The Se-
cret and the theories of new science. Let me explain how you are the most powerful transmission tower
in the Universe. In simple terms, ail energy vibrates at a frequency. Being energy, you also vibrate at a frequency, and what determines
your frequency at any time is whatever you are thinking and feel-
ing. All the things you want are made of energy, and they are vi-
brating too. Everything is energy. Here is the "wow" factor. When you think about what you want,
and you emit that frequency you cause the energy of what you The Secret to You 157
want to vibrate at that frequency and you bring it to You! As you
focus on what you want, you are changing the vibration of the
atoms of that thing, and you are causing it to vibrate to You. The
reason you are the most powerful transmission tower in the Uni-
verse is because you have been given the power to focus your
energy through your thoughts and alter the vibrations of what you
are focused on, which then magnetically draws it to you. When you think about and feel those good things that you want,
you have immediately tuned yourself to that frequency, which then
causes the energy of all those things to vibrate to you, and they ap-
pear in your life. The law of attraction says that like attracts like. You are an energy magnet, so you electrically energize everything
to you and electrically energize yourself to everything you want. Human beings manage their own magnetizing energy, because no
one outside of them can think or feel for them, and it is thoughts
and feelings that create our frequencies. Almost one hundred years ago, without the benefit of all the sci-
entific discoveries of the last hundred years, Charles Haanel knew
how the Universe operated. "The Universal Mind is not only intelligence,
but it is substance, and this substance is the
attractive force which brings electrons together
by the law of attraction so they form atoms;
the atoms in turn are brought together by the
same law and form molecules; molecules take 158 The Secret

Most people define themselves by this finite body, but

always has been, everything that ever existed always exists,

destroyed, all that ever was, always will be, always moving
into form, through form and out of form." You see, it's the
same description, just different terminology. So if you think you're this "meat suit" running around,
think again. You're a spiritual being! You're an energy field,
operating in a larger energy field. How does all of this make you a spiritual being? For me, the an-
swer to that question is one of the most magnificent parts of the
teachings of The Secret. You are energy, and energy cannot be cre-
ated or destroyed. Energy just changes form. And that means You! The true essence of You, the


 the other tribes, in addition to goats' milk. An examination of 2,196 teeth of seventy-seven individuals revealed 160 teeth with caries, or
7.2 per cent. Fifty-three per cent of the individuals had caries. Kasenyi Port, Lake Albert, Belgian Congo. These natives were members of several tribes
surrounding this district who were for the most part temporary residents as laborers. The people
had been living largely on a cereal diet and now during their temporary residence at the port had
had fish. An examination of 1,940 teeth of sixty-three individuals revealed 120 teeth with dental caries, or
6.1 per cent of the teeth. Fifty and eighttenths per cent of the individuals had dental caries. Wanande Tribe, Belgian Congo. This tribe is located at Lubero in Belgian Congo. Their diet
consists largely of bananas, sweet potatoes, cereals and goats' milk. In an examination of 368 teeth of thirteen individuals, there were eight teeth with caries, or 2.2
per cent. Fifteen and four-tenths per cent of the individuals were affected. Baitu Tribe, Nyunge, Ruanda, Belgian Protectorate. This district lies south of Uganda and
east of Belgian Congo proper, northwest of Tanganyika. It lies just east of Lake Kivu. When we
learn that Lake Kivu was only discovered in 1894, even though it is one of the important sources
of the Nile waters, we realize the primitiveness of the people of this and adjoining districts. This
group lives largely on dairy products from cattle and goats, together with sweet potatoes, cereals
and bananas. In a study of 364 teeth of thirteen individuals, not a single tooth was found to have been
attacked by dental caries. Native Hotel Staff at Goina, Belgian Congo. This group consisted of the inside and outside
servants of a tourist hotel on Lake Kivu. An examination of 320 teeth of ten individuals revealed twenty teeth with caries, or 6.3 per cent. It is significant that all of these carious teeth were in the mouth of one individual, the cook. The
others all boarded themselves and lived on native diets. The cook used European foods. Where the members of the African tribes had attached themselves to coffee plantations aad
were provided with the imported foods of white flour, sugar, polished rice and canned goods,
tooth decay became rampant. This is typically illustrated in Fig. 44.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 93/250FIG. 44. Wherever the Africans have aidopted the foods of
modern commerce, dental caries was active, thus destroying
large numbers of the teeth and causing great suffering. The
cases shown here are typical of workers on plantations
which largely use imported foods. Anglo-Egyptian Sudan has an area approximately one-third that of the United States. It is
traversed throughout its length from south to north by the Nile. There are several tribes living along
this great waterway, which are of special interest now owing to their close proximity to Ethiopia. There are wonderful hunters and warriors among them. In hunting they use their long-bladed
spears almost entirely. The shores of the Nile for nearly a thousand miles in this district are lined
with papyrus and other water plants to a depth of from several hundred yards to a few miles. Back
of this area the land rises and provides excellent pasturage for the grazing cattle. These tribes,
therefore, use milk, blood and meat from cattle and large quantities of animal life from the Nile
River. Some of the tribes are very tall, particularly the Neurs. The women are often six feet or
over, and the men seven feet, some of them reaching seven and a half feet in height. I was
particularly interested in their food habits both because of their high immunity to dental caries which
approximated one hundred per cent, and because of their physical development. I learned that
they have a belief which to them is their religion, namely, that every man and woman has a soul
which resides in the liver and that a man's character and physical growth depend upon how well he
feeds that soul by eating the livers of animals. The liver is so sacred that it may not be touched by
human hands. It is accordingly always handled with their spear or saber, or with specially prepared
forked sticks. It is eaten both raw and cooked. Many of these tribes, like the Neurs, wear no clothing and decorate their bodies with various
designs, some of them representing strings of beads produced by putting foreign substances under
the skin in definite order. They have maintained a particularly bitter warfare against the Arab slave
dealers who have come across from the Red Sea coast to carry off the women and children. In
isolated districts even to this day they are suspicious of foreigners. We were told that in one district
adjoining Ethiopia all light skinned people are in danger and cannot safely enter that territory
without a military escort. Terraizeka, Upper Nile, Sudan. These people are tall and live largely on fish and other animal
life. This part of Sudan consists of many districts of great marshland called the sudd. It is covered
with rank papyrus to the height of fifteen to thirty feet. This jungle of rank marsh growth swarms
with a wide variety of animal life, large and small. An examination of 548 teeth of eighteen individuals revealed that not a single tooth had been7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

their remarkable stature. Many of the women are six feet tall and the men range from six feet to
seven and a half feet in height. Their food consists very largely of animal life of the Nile, dairy
products, milk and blood from the herds. A study of 1,268 teeth of thirty-nine individuals revealed only six teeth with dental caries, or 0.5
per cent. Only three individuals had caries, or 7.7 per cent. Dinkas, Jebelein, Sudan. This tribe lives on the Nile. Its members are not as tall as the Neurs. They are physically better proportioned and have greater strength. They use fish from the Nile and
cereals for their diet. They decorate their bodies profusely with scars. An examination of 592 teeth of twenty-two individuals revealed only one tooth with caries, or
0.2 per cent. Arab Schools at Khartoum and Omdurman, Sudan. The Arabs are the chief occupants of
the territory of Northern Sudan. Omdurman on the west bank of the White Nile opposite
Khartoum is the largest purely Arab city in the world. It has been but slightly influenced by modern
civilization. Khartoum, on the contrary, just across the river from Omdurman and the capital of
Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, has districts which are typically modern. These include the government
offices and administration organization. The Arab section of Khartoum has been definitely
influenced by contact with the Europeans. This makes possible a comparative study of similar
groups in the two cities-modernized Khartoum and primitive Omdurman. A study of 1,284 teeth of fifty-two individuals in an Arab school at Khartoum revealed that 59
teeth or 4.7 per cent had been attacked by dental caries, or 44.2 per cent of the individuals
studied. In Omdurman a study of 744 teeth in thirty-one individuals, revealed only nine teeth that had
been attacked by tooth decay, or 1.2 per cent. In this group only two or 6.4 per cent of the
individuals had dental caries. The groups examined were selected with the assistance of the government officials and
consisted of the higher grade pupils in two advanced native schools, one in Khartoum and one in
Omdurman. It is of interest that of the two boys in the Arab school at Omdurman with dental caries one was
the son of a rich merchant and used liberally sweets and European foods. Native Hospital, Khartoum, Sudan. The individuals studied in this institution were from quite
remote areas distributed through Sudan. Some had traveled many days on camels to obtain the
help that the hospital provided. A study of 288 teeth of ten individuals revealed that thirteen had been attacked by tooth decay,
or 4.5 per cent. Ikhlas School, Cairo, Egypt. This is a native school in which the individuals are comparable in
many respects to those in the native schools at Khartoum and Omdurman. Their nutrition is highly
modernized by living in a modern city. A study of 2,092 teeth of eighty-five individuals revealed that 353 teeth or 12.1 per cent had
been attacked by tooth decay. Seventy-five per cent of the individuals of this group had dental
caries. The total number of teeth examined in the preceding groups was 28,438. Of this number, 1,346
were found with dental caries or 4.7 per cent. This represents a total of 1,002 individuals7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

 planet in a new and
broader perspective. In this, as in other branches of research, the scope for explora
tion seems as large as the Universe itself. This is not only because
our knowledge of most things is deplorably incomplete but also
110 THE CONT INUING ADVENTUR E
because the organization of the Universe does not preclude
change and development; on the contrary these seem to be in
herent in it. The Universe is not static but almost inconceivably
dynamic with everything in it-from galaxies to atoms-in a
state of constant motion or change. At the outset of this adventure we made the 'primitive as
snmption', based on all the evidence available, that we live in an
ordered Universe. We assumed that order is imposed on the
elementary components of Nature, whether particle or wave, by
means of definite arrangements or patterns of organization which
persist in time and which we can identify. We recognize these
as permanent elements in the environment; we recognize trees
and plants, birds and beasts, monkeys and man. If these patt erns
did not persist any description of the things we see would have
no continuity. On the other hand, we have only to look around to observe
that no particular design, pattern or arrangement of parts ever
appears at the outset full-blown or in its final form; there is
always a developing process. The acorn grows and develops into
an oak tree, never into a fig tree. It is obvious, therefore, that
the laws of Nature do more than develop a pattern: they also
determine the steps by which the pattern evolves, grows and
develops. In other words, there is nothing fixed about the Uni
verse; it is a growing active system. It is a far cry from the most elementary living forms to the
highly complex systems which have evolved from them. There is
a great gap between the simple elements and the complicated,
�iant molecules which have been developed from them not only
by Nature but also by man. Man, in fact, imitates Nature in developing from the simple to
the complex. For instance, he started by cooking and keeping
himself warm with burning sticks; now he has the modern elec
trical kitchen and automatic heating systems. Simple screws and
bolts, gears and wheels are organized into the marvellous tools
and machines of today. And sure1y Henry Ford would he amazed
at the modern automobile which developed from his Model T. We cannot foresee the ultimate outcome either of Nature's
developments or of man's. This makes the whole process of
111 THE CONTINUING ADVENTURE
examining every aspect of the Universe an alive, exciting and
adventurous exploration. Yet, from time to time, some pundit will declare with solemn
finality that there is nothing more to be discovered in his par
ticular field of study. And almost invariably he will soon be made
to look foolish by some new discovery or breakthrough which
opens up new areas to explore. We can feel sorry for such self
satisfied people because these rash statements not only betray
their lack of imagination but also show that they have missed
one of the great adventures of life-examining a developing
Universe. We have no right to assume that the present state of the Uni
verse is the final one, because all we know about it is that it has
grown and developed over a vast span of time. And there is no
reason to suppose that that development has come to an end
with our present environment. We cannot know the final end of growth and developm ent,
but at least we can be quite certain that it has an ultimate goal. It is doubtful. however, whether this ultimate goal is a fixed and
final one; more likely, the goal itself develops with time. Perhaps
the present is always moulding the future. For it is impossible to
imagine that any of the material units of our environment are in
final form, because everything we know is developing and grow
ing towards a more perfect realization of the operation of the
basic laws of the Universe. While we can make effective use of
our growing knowledge of these laws, we have no way of pre
dicting what the ultimate outcome will be. 2
In exploring a developing Universe, science's basic aim and
problem is to determine the origin of its design. Science now
knows a lot about the design itself but how it started is still
shrouded in mystery. This central problem of science is of prime
importance, not for mere academic reasons but because if we
could know more about the origin of the Universe we might
know more about how to conduct ourselves and our affairs. 112 THE CONT INUIN G ADVENTURE
At the present time, in the hope of solving that mystery, we
are spending billions of dollars exploring space. The techniques
which have made such explorations possible are almost beyond
description. It is certainly a miraculous developm ent, which may
yield products of practical utility to ma nkind and which, for
this reason, is quite possibly worth the money spent on it. But, so
far, it has contributed little to man's understanding of the world
in which he lives. And, as far as the basic problem of science is
concerned, we are no wiser than we were before the Russians
launched the first sputnik into space. The origin of the Universe
still eludes us. Perhaps it always will. In the meanwhile, however, we can
learn more about something no less important -the forces which
control the unfoLding of the design of the Universe through
growth and developm ent. Of these, the fields of life are perhaps
the most amenable to further study because-as has been shown
in the preceding pages-they exist in all living forms so far
examined and can be measured with great precision in controlled
and repeatable experiments. L-fields, therefore, offer us a new and scientific approach to
some of the methods used by Nature to execute her designs. By studying these methods we can hope to learn more about
the designs themselves, even if we remain unable to solve the
great mystery of their origin. We can hope, too, to gain a
greater understanding of how the designs fit in to the pattern of
the larger designs of the Universe. For, as we noted in the first
chapter, L-fields by their very nature must be influenced by the
all-powerful fields of the Cosmos and must therefore be an integ
ral part of its overall design. Meanwhile, the fact that L-fields are a part of the Cosmic de
sign is compelling evidence that we live in a Universe of law and
order, because they impose design and organization on the con
stantly-changing material components of all living forms. They
compel an acorn to grow into an oak tree-and only an oak
tree; they compel a maize seed to grow into a corn-stalk and not
a stalk of wheat or barley. Anything that compels growth and
development in an organized way is irrefutable evidence of law
and order. 113 THE CONTINU ING ADVENTURE
But the L-fields of this planet are themselves influenced by the
greater fields in which our world is enmeshed, as we found from
the effects of sun-spot activity on the fields of trees. They are
subject, then, to 'higher authority'-so to speak, which compels
them to change in various ways. And, no doubt, the fields that
surround this planet are themselves subject to the greater fields
of space. In other words, L-�dds are links in a 'chain of authority'. This
starts with the simplest living forms, runs upwards through all
the life on this planet to the most complex form we know-man
-and then extends outwards into space and upwards to an
in�nite, ultimate authority, about which we can only speculate. This 'chain of authority', of course, does not apply only to the
fields of life. It must also extend from the heart of the smallest
atom to those gigantic forces which keep the planets in their
orbits, which govern the stars in their courses and which regulate
the feverish race of the most distant galaxies towards the outer
reaches of space. In building living forms, the fields of life override the normal
laws of chemistry and physics. They compel atoms and molecules
to assume-and to retain through constant changes of material
-stable arrangements, which hreak down to simpler compounds
after the death of the form. If it were not for this 'overriding
authority' of the L-fields you and I could not exist in our present
form because the complex molecules of which we are composed
could not build themselves on their own-or by chance-and
could not retain their composition. You and 1, then, are literally held together by definable laws,
of which L-fields are a manifestation. Without these laws-or
if the Universe were really chaos-we could not exist for a
millisecond. Rigid, specific and exact forces control not only the
construction and maintenance of our component parts but also
their organization and interrelationsh ip. In short, we exist by virtue of inexora ble laws in a highly
organized Universe of law and order. 114 THE CONTINUING ADVENTURE

All this will not appeal to those who prefer to believe that the
Universe is chaos and man an accidental end-product of fortuit
ous chemistry. This view is enjoyed by those who like to imagine
that man can do just what he pleases and that there are no laws
to control his decisions to

The Golden Rule of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Diet is: "Take nothing into
77
Winning The Cancer War
the body that has been cooked or processed except items mentioned. " Eat no
"Processed" food for the first six months of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure
Program. The juicer is the most important appliance in the kitchen of a cancer patient. If
necessary sell the stove and buy a good juicer. The enzymes in foods that have been cooked have been destroyed or changed into
a different compound (amino acid). Cooked food can only be used as food and not as
enzymes, for it has no life. For example, if you plant a raw potato it w ill grow. If you
boil a potato and plant it, it w ill not grow it will rot. Many enzymes are destroyed at
107° F. and almost all are destroyed at 140° F. When a person eats anything processed he or she is not only eating "dead food"
(those in which the enzymes have been destroyed), but he or she is adding a second
very destructive force to his body, the destructive force of food preservatives. This
may not be too significant for a normal healthy person, but for the cancer patient it
may mean life or death. The liver must detoxify, destroy, or metabolize all foreign
substances from the body. When one eats foods with preservatives, it adds an extra
burden upon the liver, which the cancer patient cannot accept. Milk
The cancer patient must give up pasteurized cows' milk forever, except in the form
of raw (unpasteurized), homemade yogurt, and for a while must avoid raw milk too,
except raw (unpasteurized) goats' milk. Cows' milk, like meat, has too high a protein
content and pasteurization compounds the problem as it alters or mutates the protein. Pasteurized cows' milk requires too many pancreatic enzymes for digestion. Also, an animal cannot produce milk unless the female sex hormones are present
in extra large quantities; this causes too many hormones in milk for the person who
has cancer. But if raw goats' milk is available, it is advisable to take 4 to 8 ounces of raw
(unpasteurized), homemade goats' milk (goats' milk is similar to humans' milk) yogurt
each morning for breakfast. This will supply the intestines with adequate helpful
bacteria. This is acceptable because the yogurt bacteria predigest the milk protein
when added to it. After following this diet for 9 to 12 months and if raw goats' or cows' milk is
available. 9 to 12 ounces per day may be taken at any time during the day. 72

Peanuts
The cancer patient will also want to give up peanuts. First, the peanut is not a nut,
but a legume. Second, the peanut also has too much protein for the cancer patient. Third, it has been found that a fungus grows on peanuts, which produces aflatoxin. To stimulate cancers in experimental animals cancer researchers use aflatoxin. Processed Foods
White Flour
All concentrated foods are extremely hard on the liver and should be given up. White flour and all products containing white flour should be avoided. These are not
only concentrated carbohydrates, but almost always have preservatives added. Use fresh whole wheat bread, made from wheat grown free of all pesticides
(another liver destroying chemical). The essential vitamins are oxidized within three
days at room temperature; hence the need for grinding only as used. Freshly ground
flour or freshly made whole wheat bread may be safely stored deep in a deep freeze
for about a week. It is best, however, to use it within three days. White Sugar
The cancer patient w ill also want to give up all white sugar and white sugar
products. The concentrated carbohydrates are hard on the liver, but more important
in relation to cancer, they are very hard on the pancreas. The pancreas, as noted
earlier, is the first organ to be protected at all costs. White sugar has been processed
(refined) and all the vital minerals are taken out. Cancer patients are always deficient
in minerals. For those who have a sweet tooth, these organic foods may be eaten as desired:
dates, date sugar, figs and raisins obtained from a health food store. These are free of
toxic pesticides and are not harmful to the pancreas or the liver. A cancer patient may
also eat pure maple syrup or unheated honey, in that order. The first is preferable
because it has a higher mineral content. Soy Products
Soy products, except Lecithin, should be used very sparingly for two reasons: First,
the protein content is too high for the cancer patient; Second, soy products tend to
upset the delicate acid/alkaline balance of the body. Eating soy products may be

Other Improper Foods
Lemon juice should replace vinegar altogether. Vinegar is too harsh on the delicate
mucus membrane of the alimentary canal. Also, the ingestion of large quantities of
vinegar causes the digestive tract to become too acid and thus decreases the
efficiency of the pancreatic enzymes and the digestive processes. For at least the first
eight months on Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program, lemon juice should be
used in preference to vinegar on salads. Unrefined, organic flaxseed oil may be used
as salad dressing
For the period of intensive detoxification and treatment, tea, coffee, soft drinks,
chocolate, liquor, tobacco, pork, and white rice should be avoided. These also place
additional stress upon the liver and pancreas as they are being detoxified. Physiological Reactions to
Eating and Taking Supplements
According to Your Metabolic Type
As you follow a properly balanced nutritional program, changes begin to happen
within your body. Often this is alarming and not at all what you expected to happen. The Ideal Reaction
The ideal reaction is the gradual development of an increased "sense of well
being. " At first you w ill notice you do not tire so easily. You "last" longer during the
day, and you do not become tired so early in the evening. Next, you find you are not
so tired in the mornings. You look forward to the new day and may awaken earlier. As your sense of well-being increases, you begin to feel more emotionally and
psychologically secure. Little things do not bother you as they once did. Your old
habit patterns begin to change from "grumpy" ones to "happy" ones. Adverse Reactions
The ideal reaction often occurs, but more frequently there is a multitude of
uncomfortable reactions, which normally come first, as your body chemistry begins
to change. These reactions should not alarm you or cause undue apprehension. Any
one or all of the following reactions may occur:
Toxic Reactions
74
Winning The Cancer War
After about two or three of weeks eating and taking supplements according to your
metabolic type it is normal to experience toxic reactions. You w ill gradually lose your
appetite, become nauseated and may even develop a "toxic headache. " Occasionally, you may also experience swelling in the various lymph glands
throughout your body. The normal cells cleaning debris from the system faster than
the liver, kidneys, skin and lungs can remove them from the body bring about these
toxic reactions. At this point you can do two things to help:
1. Discontinue the supplements for no more than a five-day period. Continue the
supplements again for ten to 25 days. This cycle of five days off and ten or more
days on may have to be repeated several times, depending upon the depleted
condition of your body and the amount of repair which is needed at the cellular
level. 2. Take a coffee enema to stimulate the excretion of toxins. The procedure for this
is explained earlier in this book. One or two a day may be taken depending
upon the severity of the toxic condition. In an extreme toxic reaction, both the
discontinuance of supplements and the coffee enema should be used. 75
Structu r a l &  Neu rologica l Stim ulation
W h ile  the bo dy is being p ro p e rly  d e to x ifie d  and nourished,
th e  nerve supply to  th e  pancreas and liv e r should be considered. Structural and Neurological Stimulation
While the body is being properly detoxified and nourished, the nerve supply to the
pancreas and liver should be considered. A specific organ works only when told to by a nerve, chemical, or pressure
stimulation. Upon taking careful histories, we found a number of cancer patients who
had had blows to the head or spine. We feel that such experiences change the nerve
impulses to the various organs. If pressure on a nerve to the pancreas causes it to
cease sending impulses to the pancreas, the pancreas w ill turn off and wait until the
nerve tells it to work again. If the nerve is destroyed, or for some reason never sends a
message, the pancreatic function will be greatly impaired. Probably the best way to reactivate the nerve enervation is through some form of
manipulative therapy such as osteopathic manipulation, chiropractic adjustments, or
