hamstrings) along the posterior chain is too tight (TED) or the
patient can’t stabilize their core well enough to allow the hips to
shift back and the spine to flex (SMCD). We are finally  coming around to the idea that functiona l
breathing, recruiting a strong diaphragm with appropriate timing, is
a big part of core stabilization. When breathing is dysfunctional, it
can create a SMCD. What also happens, however, is that TEDs  will
cause an individual to change their breathing patterns. For insta nce,
people often hold their breath  in order to try to overcome the
dysfunction. A TED can therefore cause a breathing pattern
disorder, which in turn can cause or exacerbate a SMCD. So,
breathing can be, and often is, central to both types of dysfunc tion. If you can’t breathe functionally through a particular movement or
posture, then you don’ t “own” that movement or posture. This has significant implications for professional athletes. It also
contributes to the huge rise in incidence and cost of repetitive strain
injury in many occupations and workplaces. The other overlooked and interesting application of functional
breathing is for cognition in sport, especially team sport. I always
tell the hockey players I work with that, while the mistakes you see
players make, especially towa rd the end of a game, are often
attributed to “pressure,” they are also, at least in part, due to the
continual hyperventilation you see on the bench during recovery. During recovery, players breathe through an open mouth, resulting
in a decrease in cerebral blood flow that impacts their ability to
think clearly. Nasal, functional breathing during recovery from an
acute anaerobic bout, makes a difference to cognitive ability which
is vital for perfo rmance. I’m not aware of any study backing this up,
and I’m not sure how such a study could be designed, but I have
seen it in action, and it makes sense. —Paul SlyFUNCTIONAL BREA THING IS FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH
Tim Anderson is cofounder of Original Strength and has been a personal
trainer for more than two decades. He is a well-known author and a sought-
after speaker. He has written and cowritten books on this subject, including
The Becoming Bulletpr oof Project. As I was preparing the final manuscript
for this book, Tim wrote to me with the following practical explanation of
the science we have covered in this chapter:
Strength starts with breath. Proper breathing literally strengthens the
body from the center out. The diaphragm is the chief spinal
stabilizer of the inner core muscles. When it is functioning properly,
when it is being  used to fill the lungs from the bottom to the top, it
rhythmically dances with the pelvic floor. This dance, which also
involves the transverse abdominus and the multifidi, stabilizes the
spine and pelvis. When the diaphragm is functioning properly, the
pelvic floor and the other spinal stabilizers are getting the
stimulation they need to function properly. This is the foundation  for
a strong, powerful and ef ficient moving body. A body  that has a properly functioning diaphragm, a nasal
breather who keeps their tongue  on the roof of their mouth and fills
their lungs up from the bottom to the top, has a nervous system that
feels safe to express itself without restriction. Not only does this
result in better performance in speed, strength, power and efficiency,
it results in a more resilient and durable body, a body that is less
prone to injury. Trying to expres s strength and power while mouth breathing not
only throws the nervous system into the sympathetic mode, it causes
the body  to recruit prime movers to stabilize the spine because the
inner core unit’s chief stabilizer (the diaphragm) is not functioning
optimally. This compensation can lead to poor performance and
even injury. It may help to think of the body  as an “X”. Functional breathing
creates a body with a solid center, a reflexively strong inner core
unit. When the body has a strong center, the forces it creates  and
encounters can easily and efficiently travel from one side of thebody to the other, through that solid center. The result is a body that
can move with grace, ease, and power. Dysfunctional breathing creates instability of the spine because
the inner core muscles are not able to properly do their job. This
means when the body creates or encounters force, those forces
cannot efficiently travel through  the center of the body. Instead, they
may end up in regions of the body they shouldn’ t causing movem ent
issues, pain, or injury. Typically, the body of a dysfunctional
breather, does not express optimal, fluid posture, or ease of
movement. It lacks a poetry of movement because the body cannot
express its full movement potential. I like to tell people that breathing properly, nasal breathing with
your tongue on the roof of your mouth, filling your lungs up from
the bottom to the top, gives you a center of strength. It makes  the
body and mind strong and resilient. Improper breathing, mouth
breathing, filling  the lungs up from the top, rarely filling the bottom
of the lungs; gives the body a soft or hollow center. It leaves  the
body and mind weak and fragile. In other words, mouth breathing  can create fragility while nasal
breathing can create resiliency. —Tim Anderson

WHEN BREATHING MAKES YOU HURT
PAIN IS A SIGN OF DYSFUNCTION
s we have been discussing, the diaphragm, the primary respira tory
muscle, is essential for stabilizing the core, spine, and posture. Dysfunctional breathing can compromise the body’ s fundamental
stability. Poor breathing patterns can also cause pain in sometimes
unexpected places. Over time, poor breathing patterns create faulty
movement patte rns that lead to pain and injury in the muscles, tendons, and
joints. For instan ce, if you breat he into the upper chest, alteratio ns occur in
the position of your lower ribs, which need to move up to allow enough air
into the lungs. The result is likely to be pain or dysfunction in part of the
spine. If you continually neglect the primary muscles that hold your body
upright, such as the core and the diaphragm, the body will compensate by
overusing smaller muscles that aren’ t really designed for the job. This is
why muscular adaptations caused by breathing pattern disorders can
contribute to all sorts of pain conditions that you might not intuitively
associate with breathing. For example, paradoxical breathing, a
dysfunctional breathing pattern in which the abdomen contracts on
inhalation and expands on exhalation, often coexists with muscle
imbalances and pain in the cervical spine. Weakness in the pelvic floor
muscles can show up as injuries in areas as varied as the knee,1,2 ankle,
anterior cruciate ligament,2 and lower back. 3 Problems in the hands can be
caused by tension in the should ers and neck stemming from dysfunctionalbreathing. 4 Poor blood flow to the brain caused by chronic hyperventilatio n
can result in excruciating headaches. 5
Imbalances in the autonomic nervous system, which can be influenced
by breat hing, can also lead to pain. For the body to move, the nervous
system and muscles must work together. If problems exist in either system,
the other will adapt to compen sate. This is why autonomic dysfunction
caused by psychological stress can display as physical symptoms. Stress has been clearly identified  as both a contributing and a risk factor
in musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain. In one 2012 study, researchers
observed patien ts with ongoing shoulder and neck pain and found that
sympathetic activation was dominant and the parasympathetic system was
suppressed, suggesting an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system. 6
When the nervous system is in a state of heightened arousal, the body is
likely to adjust breathing patte rns to restore homeostasis. This alters the
recruitment of respiratory muscles, impacts motor control, and leads to
chronic or acute musculoskeletal pain. Another valuable window into how well the body’ s systems are
functioning is provided by myofascial trigger points. These are tender areas
in the muscles that often cause referred pain, a phenomenon where pain
originating in one place shows up elsewhere in the body. Trigger points
manifest as muscle stiffness, weakness, dizziness, nausea, and postural
distortions. 7 Left untreated, they can result in ongoing disruption of
movement patterns. Trigger points can be activated by psychological stress. In 1994, researchers observed what happened to a trigger point under
different conditions, including mental stress induced by an arithmetic task. The results showed that the trigger point was stimulated during stress,
suggesting that physical pain is directly influenced by the emotio ns. 8 A new
paper from 2020 suggests that the stronger stimulation of the baroreflex that
occurs during guided slow, deep breathing may offer a “cheap-and-easy
way to ‘behaviorally’ stimulate  the afferent vagus and reduce  pain,” but
still, not much is known about this pathway. The stimulation and function
of the barorecep tors have not been well studied in research examining the
impact of slow, diaphragm breathing on pain,

        A 2019
study states that OSA is twice as common in people with epilepsy than in
the gene ral population, and as in other OSA cases, its incidence increases
with age. 74 According to this review, subjective self-reporting of daytime
sleepiness is particularly unhe lpful as a diagnostic tool for OSA in
epileptics, becau se a diverse range of comorbidities can cause tiredness in
epilepsy. The prevalence of sleep disorders in epileptic children is under -
recognized. 71 Children with epilepsy often experience changes in the way
they sleep—how  quickly they fall asleep, their total sleep time, sleep
architecture, and spontaneous arousals—and they are more likely to suffer
from broken sleep and daytime drowsiness. 71
Many things can cause sleep disruption in children with epilepsy,
including the epilepsy itself and antiepileptic medications. These childrenpresent with conditions includin g SDB, OSA, and limb movements during
sleep. The poor quality of sleep that results has a negative impact on seizure
control that may logically be related to hyperventilation cause d by mouth
breathing during sleep. Sleep deprivation can trigger seizures, and frequent
seizures cause broken sleep, creating a vicious cycle. Even when seizures
occur during wakefulness, they can have a negative impact on sleep. 71
Antiepileptic drugs can cause marked weight gain in children. Aside from a
general feeling of tiredness and poor health, this increases the likelihood of
SDB as excess fat on the abdomen and tongue restricts the movement of the
diaphragm and narrows the airways. 75
According to a 2019 paper, several small retrospective studies have
found that positive airway press ure treatments such as CPAP can produce a
significant reduction in seizures for people who have comorb id epilepsy
and OSA74. A 2018 article in Epilepsy Foundation  reported that patients
treated with positive airway pressure had a 63% chance of a reduction in
seizures of up to 50%. 70 This was comp ared with a 14% chance for those
who were untreated. Apnea, hypercapnia (too much  blood CO2), and oxygen desaturation
(when blood oxygen levels drop below normal) can all occur  during and
immediately after a seizure, especially with generalized tonic-clonic
seizures. 74 The respiratory disturbances that occur during apnea suggest
activation of the central autonomic network, an intricate system of
structures in the brain that performs a key role in the working of the
autonomic nervous system. 76 This may contribute to sudden unexpected
death in epilepsy (SUDEP), the leading cause of epilepsy-related death in
patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. People who die from SUDEP
generally have a history of nocturnal seizures and centrally mediated post-
seizure cardiorespiratory dysfunction. 77 They often die during sleep, and
while sleeping prone (face down), but it is unknown whether OSA
contributes to sudden death. 76
A 2018 study explored the relati onship between SUDEP and SDB in 30
participants and reported that cardiorespiratory dysfunction was more
common in patients at high risk of SUDEP, while SDB was found in 88% of
sleep-study results. 77While epilepsy and SDB often coexist, one of the difficulties faced by
medical practitio ners when identifying abnormal events that are related to
sleep disorders rather than epilepsy is the fact that signs of nocturnal
seizures can overlap with symptoms of SDB. 77 A 2014 paper describes the
case of a three-year -old child who demonstrated EEG activity during
seizure that could also be associated with a particular form of OSA. The
child’ s seizures were charac terized by increased respir atory rate,
paradoxical breathing, and oxygen desaturation. 78 In this case,
cardiorespiratory sleep study results initially led to a misdiagnosis of severe
OSA. Excessive daytime sleepiness and sleep disorders are know n to be
common in adults with epilepsy, and one 2006 study found that children
with epilepsy also reported worse daytime sleepiness than a control group. In this study, researchers concluded that further research using screening
questionnaires and formal sleep studies is needed to accurately assess the
prevalence of sleep disorders in children with epilepsy. 79
A 2008 study evaluated abnormal results in 40 epileptic children who
had each been referred for a sleep study because of various problems with
sleep. 71 Snoring  was observed in 83% of patients, and SDB inclu ding
obstructive hyperventilation, sleep apnea, and upper -airway  resistance
syndrome was found in 42. 5% of the children. Children who had poor
seizure control also experienced  poor quality sleep, a higher arousal index,
and a higher percentage of REM sleep states compared to those who were
either seizure-free or had good seizure-control. Those children who had both epilepsy and OSA generally had a much
greater body mass index and longer sleep latency—the amount of time it
takes to get to sleep. Significantly, they also demonstrated more severe
oxygen desatura tion than children who had sleep apnea uncomplicated by
epilepsy. 71 A considerable number of the children with epilepsy who were
referred for polysomnography presented with SDB, including OSA. This
study concluded that treatment of OSA by removing the tonsils and
adenoids may lead to an improvement in sleep disturbances, which might in
turn result in better seizure control and quality of life. The researchers
suggested that physicians should routinely screen for snoring and other
signs of OSA when examining children with epilepsy. 71 How ever, there isan argument that as with SDB  in nonepileptic children, developing the
airways and training in full-ti me nasal breathing should be considered
before resorting to sur gery. Research into the link between SDB and epilepsy is still very limited. It
is unclear whether epilepsy causes OSA or whether OSA exists  comorbidly
alongside epilepsy. But the evidence linking seizure frequency and duration
to chronic hyperventilation, coupled with the research confirming that
mouth breathing  during sleep is a common in both OSA and chronic
hyperventilation, would indicate that improving or eradicating SDB may
help with seizure control.


,
foremost, someone who supported me in keeping on track spiritually
and in so maintaining clarity within myself that life would pose
fewer problems. When it did get rough, he would help me forgive. I no longer want someone who would say to me, “Don’t worry,
honey. If they’re mean to you, I’ll beat them up or buy them out.”
Instead, I want someone who prays and meditates with me regularly
so that fewer monsters from the outer world disturb me, and who,
when they do, helps me look within my own consciousness for
answers instead of looking to false power to combat false power. There’s a big dierence between a weak man and a gentle man. Weak men make us nervous. Gentle men make us calm. Many of us have desired, or do desire, marriage. How much of our
desire is natural, and how much of it is cultural? What is natural is
our desire for the beloved. What is cultural is our tendency to forget
that a piece of paper cannot tie hearts together. The issue is not
whether we marry, but whether we allow any choice of life-style to
impinge on our ability to y. What is important, if we do choose to marry, is that we not give
up our wilder spirits. I once heard someone say that married women
can’t write. I don’t think this is true, but I understand what it means. Marriage is not a mere convention but it is often lived as one and, as
such, will sink instead of uplift a woman’s spirit. The creative spiritthrives on freedom and daring. Many of history’s most creative
women have not been married. As for the priestesses of olden times,
don’t even think about it. Priestesses were spiritual merm aids, and a
lot of men were drowning. Patriarchal culture senses danger in the unmarried woman. If a
man is unmarr ied, he is called a bachelor. If a woman is unmarried,
she is called a spinster or an old maid. What is it about an
unmarried woman that poses  such a threat to the patriarchal order? Mainly, it is that women are no one’s property when we’re
unmarried. We’re under no one’s control, and neither are our
children. There is no telling what we might do or say. Much of the prejudice against women is stored at an unconscious
level. Many of those who hold the most punishing attitudes toward
passionate women—and free women are passionate women—
consider them selves social liberals, even feminists. Wom en’s rights
seem to them to be of obviou s importance, but what is not obvious
to them is how much they themselves conspire to keep the lid on
female power. Female power transcends what are known politically as women’s
issues. Female power has to do with women taking an active part in
the conversation—whether in the public arena or at the dinner table
—and having the same emotional space in which to do so as men. It
means women not having to fear punishment of any kind. It means
women not having to worry that we’ll be considered unfeminine if
we speak up. It means women really coming out to play and getting
support for our playing—fro m men as well as from women. Until
this is accomplished, political, economic, and reproductiv e freedoms
will not be enough. We will not be free until we can speak our
minds and our hearts withou t having to worry that men will crucify
us, women will crucify us, the press will crucify us, or our children
will be ashamed. The true politics of women’s liberation is human politics. It is
under the surface, the energy in a room—not in the bedroom,
because there we won freedom as soon as it was discovered how
much more fun life is when we are in the game. But outside the
bedroom, we are still not equal partners, and until we are, the worldwill not be healed. Women are still in emotional bondage  as long as
we need to worry that we might have to make a choic e between
being heard and being loved. After the Anita Hill–Clarence Thomas showdown on Capitol Hill,
a friend  told me an interesting story. She had watched the televised
hearings with several marrie d couples. Except for herself and two
others, the women in attendance remained silent. Their husbands,
on the other hand, held forth on how shameful it all was, expressing
their perfect liberal views with seemingly no awareness of what was
going on in that very room. Their wives behaved like good little
girls: they sat by quietly, allowing their husbands to sound brilliant
and insightful. Would things have been dierent had the couples not been
married? I don’t know. What  is operative in this case is not marriage
but the connection between women and men itself. What needs to
be addressed is who we are in partnership. Whether we are married
matters less and less today as the denition of marriage changes
along with everything else around us. What I think is relevant in
this story is not that the couples were married but that they were in
public. Behind  closed doors, perhaps each of these husba nds shows
great respect for his wife. What is still lacking in American society is permission for women
to speak up in public—loudly and clearly—without being
considered ball breakers. Let’s look at that name one more time: ball
breaker. Try to come up with an expression that conjures more of an
association with male pain. It’s almost impossible. Now try to come
up with an expression more often associated with a woman who
speaks her mind. Most wome n faced with the choice of hurting men
or shutting up go back to sleep and sleep forever. Women and men are now obviously relearning our roles vis-à-vis
one another, both in marriage and out of it. Several years ago, I was
leading a weekend seminar when the subject of marriage came up. I
asked how many people in the group were married and then asked
them to express their thoughts about it. As the group of thirty or so
talked late into the night, I heard things that surprised me. I realized
that weekend, and became more and more aware during subsequentsessions of counseling marri ed as well as unmarried couples, that
marriage is whatever people make of it. And it is detrim ental to all
of us to hold narrow, formulaic pictures of what that should be. I have heard married couples who describe their conjugal
relationships as very, very happy, in monogamous as well as in open
marriages. I have heard married couples who describe their conjugal
relationships as boring and unhappy, in monogamous as well as in
open marriages. Sex is a sacrament, not a prison. While monogamy
can be a beautiful, even sacred bond, it might not be the agreement
that best suits everyone. Our thinking that monogamy is inherently
a nobler arrangement than any other has created a nation of
hypocrites—which is what we’ve become. Don’t kid yourself. Historical ly, monogamy didn’t begin as a way
to ensure that two people could relax into the deepest intimacy. It
began as a way for men to assert their ownership over a woman’s
body. In many cultures throu ghout history, and in some today, it is
acceptable for men to have multiple partners but not for women to
do the same. The value of monogamy and the persistence of the
double standar d are subjects that need to be discussed, by men as
well as by women, in public and in private, in order to exorcise the
sexual demons we still allow to control us. It is very dicult to be
clear about what you want when your mind is overwhelmed by
input about what you’re supposed to want. If you love a man—how wonderful if you do—and if you desire a
monogamous union with him—how wonderful if you do—then
marry him if your heart calls you to, and know that the union you
have chosen can serve God and Goddess, and men and women. But
never, ever—married or not—allow your partnership with a man to
silence your voice or keep you from supporting another woman in
using hers, or you are helping to perpetuate a most vicious muing
of a most beautiful sound. The world has no idea of the song we’re
not yet hearing: women singing out, in harmony with men and each
other, at full blast, at full volume. It’s music we need. Men long to
hear it, and women long to join the choir. Be very clear. The silence is a sick one.If men only knew how much we have to say. But so often, we
cannot speak. In the presence of resistance, we clam up. In the
presence of approval, we blossom into goddesses. There are times when we have to turn away from things that hold
us back, and nothing holds us back like someone who invalidates
who we are and what we’re capable of. A young man is often
brought up to think that he will one day nd the right woman to
support his vision and greatness. Many young girls are brought up
to think that we will one day nd a man whose vision and greatness
are worthy of our support. The ancient Greek word for courtesan is hetaera. The hetaera  was
a man’s lover, his equal, and his muse


an outlet for the manifestation of the beauty and variety and infinite
complexity of universal mind. No one truly does a thing well when they do it
with conscious intention. Effectiveness in action is always the r esult of
unthinking naturalness. W e do not come to skill in works thr ough objective
analysis of our action as separate fr om the action of others but thr ough a
complete identification of ourselves with the work to be done. SamuelTaylor Coleridge wr ote, “Fr om my very childhood, I have been accustomed
to abstract, and as it wer e, unr ealize whatever of mor e than common
interest my eyes dwelled on, and then by a sort of transfusion and
transmission of my consciousness to identify myself with an object. ”
Participation in the life of another thr ough a mystic medium of common
consciousness is the essence of artistic cr eation. When we affect to do
something thr ough conscious intention and at the ur ging of the separate
and unique desir es of the ego, we ar e performing by the light of one candle
in an ar ena wher e thousands of kilowatts ar e available. W e cannot possibly
create a true and effective work thr ough the limited knowledge and tiny
scope of our conscious mind. All intentioned works of art ar e flat and
useless and depict only clichés and ar e not truly works of art at all but only
a kind of syncr etism of the elements of knowledge available to the ego. Such
effort in writing is journalism; in art, poster painting; in music, dollar
mongering; and those who perform thus, even though masquerading under
the mantle of artist, ar e actually destr oying themselves thr ough
knowledgeable corrupting of their talent. Every one of us has a talent in some area of our nature, as big a talent as has
ever existed, and if this talent has not manifested it is because our egoistic
nature has dammed it up. No matter how long the dam has existed, no
matter how tightly controlled the egoistic nature, the dam can be broken and
the power can be let loose and we can realize the highest level of our talent
and live the life of the artist incarnate. T o turn the eye within and to release
the egoistic nature from selfish desire is the first thing to be done. Once the
whole nature is turned over to a power greater than it is, to be used for
whatever purpose, without aim or intention, then the power comes through,
then we begin to be transformed, performing naturally in all circumstances,
guided correctly in all actions. Psychic Position
 There is tremendous joy in correct psychic positioning of the ego. There is a
feeling of usefulness that comes to us, a rooted certainty in our soul that we
are performing in the best manner possible. This is the feeling of “grace”
that comes to religious people. This is the time of creativity that comes to
artists. This is the period of great productivity that comes to businesspeople. This is the time of superior skill that comes to athletes. Each serves,
performing under the impulsion of an intelligence and talent so vastly
superior to the surface mind that the relationship is accepted as a happy
child follows a loving parent. Of this time of attunement and consequent
creation, Friedrich Nietzsche wrote:

One can hardly reject completely the idea that one is the mere incarnation
or mouthpiece or medium of some almighty power. The notion of revelation
describes the condition quite simply; by which I mean that something
profoundly convulsive and disturbing suddenly becomes visible and audible
with indescribable definiteness and exactness. One hears — one does not
seek; one takes — one does not ask who gives: A thought flashes out like
lightning, inevitably without hesitation — I have never had any choice
about it. Everything occurs quite without volition, as if in an eruption of
freedom, independence, power and divinity. It takes courage to push of f into the unknown realms of the subconscious. It
takes daring and boldness to abandon the little ship of egoistic self and
swim to that uncharted island of the Secret Self that lies beyond the
horizon. Many people cling to their egoistic natures as if they might be
saved by them instead of inevitably abandoned. Pain and frustration and
ineffectuality are the only rewards that come to those who follow their ego,
and yet they often cling to their false idol through thick and thin, much as a
drowning person grasps at a straw. Often they have so educated themselves
to the existence of the phantom they worship that even when they see they
are deluded, they cannot bear to part with their ghost. But part they must,
push of f into the uncharted regions of the subconscious they must, for
finally their ego-self abandons them altogether, breaks down and
disintegrates with the disintegration of the body. In the end they realize thatthey must throw themselves upon the mercy and grace of something infinite
and eternal, which caused them to be born in the first place and now causes
them to die. No Daring Is Fatal

Accident, perversion, illness, and ineptitude are the lot of the apprehensive. The prize is always to the bold, and the courageous own the universe. But
despite these obvious facts, the majority of people cower in caves and
refuse to abandon the flimsiest security and strike out in quest of the great
and the good. If you have the courage to take a chance, you will not be
abandoned by fate. The universe works on the side of those who aspire. It
gives wings to birds and fins to fish and touches the toes of the tightrope
walker with magic. “No daring is fatal,” wrote the French Surrealist writer
René Crevel. The Secret Self has a cherished place for its torchbearers. Along the tenuous lines of evolution the bold and the brave lead a mighty
advance. An irresistible force proceeds out of those who have courage and
tenacity in their hearts; they cannot be stopped because they are being used
by an infinite and omnipotent power. But those who pull the shells of their
egos about them and refuse either to dare or to aspire are by this
psychological act squeezing the juices of life from their bodies and their
souls; they must inevitably disintegrate because they have refused to grow. To let go of ego and to center oneself in the consciousness of universal
mind is the greatest adventure possible because it means casting of f from
safe shores and voyaging beyond visible horizons. Y et once this initial step
is made, once we cease responding to the material world, once we turn our
minds and bodies and hearts over to the Secret Self, we are astounded at
once by our inner joy and serenity. Only the surface self can know fear, and
once it has been subordinated, so is fear subordinated. The ego has
something to lose only because it sees itself as separate. Once this idea of
separateness has given over to a basic perception of unity, we no longer
know fear because we have nothing to lose. A sense of being a part of allthings and a part of all life is a psychic condition that produces the most
indescribable satisfaction. It is the ecstasy reported by mystics, the sense of
creativity reported by artists, the religious revelation reported by the saints. It is denied no one, is possible to all. Once it comes to us, it provides a
springboard for the development of a talent by which we are able to express
the infinite nature of the Divine. Metaphysical Adventur e

Religious revelation is exactly the same thing as creative activity. They are
both metaphysical adventures. They involve the acquisition of a total
instead of a partial view of the universe. They are out of time and space and
individuality and are centered in eternal terms and whole significances. Talent develops in us when our spiritual awakening has begun because
talent is inherent in each of us, and the purpose of life is that we be creative. When the spiritual awakening is true, so will the talent be true, and not
compulsive or obsessional, allowing us to perform our work out of sheer
joy, dropping our fruits like a ripe tree. It then becomes possible for us to
obey our instincts and intuitions and not to be inhibited in our actions by
what others expect of us. W e get near the heart of truth because we see the
sham and hypocrisy that are bound to partiality. We subordinate this
partiality completely in all our actions and thought, and the talent that is
visited upon us is the talent of something beyond us. Art speaks to us in symbols of the universality of our true being. By it we
perceive a portion of that ecstasy and unity from which we have sprung. By
it we are able to achieve an inkling of the great destiny that awaits
humanity. Someday we will become thoroughly awakened spiritually and
consequently completely religious, not just believers as a few people are
now, but knowers, causers, prime movers, thoroughly enlightened, gods in
fact, even as now in potential. The attitude that results from the discovery of
this inherent talent is not one of intentioned action or thought, but one that
looks for discovery. The creative writer does not take up pen with an idea of“making” a certain thing, but only to see what will come through them and
manifest itself on paper. Those who truly use their talent are able to do so
only because they let it

	Melnick,	a	professor	at	the	Yale	School	of	Medicine	had	this	to

say:	"We	are	not	happy	at	the	prospect	of	inoculating	children	year	in	and	year

out	with	the	Salk	vaccine,	for	it	contains	monkey	kidney	protein	which	might

(like	the	horse	serum	in	Tetanus	Antitoxin)	produce	allergic	states	if	inoculated

repeatedly	over	the	years." All	must	remember	that	the	present	polio	vaccine

contains,	besides	monkey	protein,	horse	serum,	formaldehyde,	streptomycin	and

penicillin	as	well	as	indicator	dye	and	preservatives,	some	of	which,	are	also

allergens. Feinberg	reported	the	possibility	of	primary	sensitization	to	penicillin

in	very	low	concentrations	and	stated,	"The	amount	of	penicillin	in	polio	vaccine

is	small,	but	judging	by	its	activity	as	determined	by	us	in	tests	of	passively

sensitized	skin,	it	is	sufficient	to	produce	reactions	in	highly	sensitive	patients." Zimmerman	reported	on	six	cases	of	penicillin	reactions	to	polio	vaccine	which

were	controlled	with	penicillinase. All	physicians	know	that	once	an	allergen	is

given	to	any	individual	the	next	dose,	or	the	next	might	produce	an	allergic

reaction—and	such	reaction	could	be	fatal. The	PHS	states	that	it	is	doing	everything	possible	to	encourage	production	of

more	potent	vaccine,	which	is	an	admission	that	vaccine	to	date	has	been	weak

and	worthless. It	means	that	millions	have	received	‘Ostrich’	shots	believing

themselves	protected. Dr.	Henry	W.	Kumm,	head	of	the	National	Foundation’s	division	of	virology	and

epidemiology	recently	made	the	statement	that	the	Salk	vaccine	for	polio	may

soon	be	replaced	by	a	pill. He	stressed	that	"it	(polio)	isn’t	nearly	as	finished	as

some	people	think. The	number	of	cases	in	1958	was	larger	than	1942	when	we

had	no	Salk	vaccine." Dr.	Kumm	admitted	that	a	live	virus	vaccine	should	be

more	efficient	and	should	cost	less. Dr.	John	J.	Hanlon,	director	of	public	health

services,	city	of	Philadelphia,	Pa.,	stated	recently	that	"it	is	becoming	clear	that

we	must	switch	over	to	live	virus	vaccine	as	soon	as	the	scientists	prove	that	it	is

completely	safe	and	effective,	and	it	looks	as	though	this	will	happen	in	the	near

future." Too	long,	now,	has	the	medical	profession	only	served	as	a	medium	in

expressing	the	views	of	others. Politics	and	politicians	have	no	place	in

medicine. Misleading	and	seemingly	deliberate	false	publication	of	figures	and	comments

on	the	merit	of	the	so-called	Salk	vaccine	must	forever	be	regretted. In	North

Carolina	the	Public	Health	Service	was	claiming	advantage	for	the	vaccine	two

years	before	such	injections	were	inaugurated. The	magic	number	of	90%

effectiveness	for	the	assumed	killed	virus	vaccine	against	paralytic	polio	has

never	been	substantiated. Polio	is	a	complex	infection. There	is	a	definite	reason	which	will	explain	why	a

person	comes	down	with	non-paralytic	or	paralytic	disease	or	no	disease	at	all. It

is	only	natural	for	those	interested	in	a	specific	program	to	think	that	their	views

alone	prevail. Just	why	does	a	person,	vaccinated	triply	or	16	times	or	not	at	all

come	down	with	paralysis. Who	can	at	this	moment	say	what	the	factors	are	that

give	protection	to	one	group	and	not	to	another;	paralytic	disease	on	one	side	of

a	street	and	not	on	the	other. The	fact	that	the	total	number	of	paralytic	cases	increased	in	1958	even	though

52,000,000	had	been	triply	vaccinated	is	important	and	significant. Paralytic

disease	in	1958	was	up	43%	over	1957	in	spite	of	the	fact	that	approximately

25,000,000	more	persons	had	received	the	injections. There	is	an	old	saying	"It	isn’t	the	things	we	don’t	know	that	bothers	us,	but	the

things	which	we	know	and	which	are	not	true." I	think	J.	H.	Tilden,	M.D.,	puts	it	about	right,	when	he	said,	"It	is	exceedingly

difficult	to	secure	an	honest	hearing	for	any	criticism	of	authority. Established

beliefs	are	well	nigh	invulnerable	because	they	are	accorded	infallibility	by	the

masses	who	are	educated	to	believe	that	they	will	be	damned	for	thinking,	and

because	of	this,	few	will	tolerate	opposition	of	any	nature	to	anything	they	have

been	educated	to	believe. People	who	have	their	thinking	done	for	them	are

always	intolerant." It	is	a	truism	that	we	are	living	in	a	time	the	like	of	which	has	never	been	seen

before. We	are	front	and	center	in	a	battle	for	men’s	minds. Now	as	never	before

it	is	vital	that	we	have	the	truth,	and	yet	there	is	an	active	conspiracy	not	just	to

conceal	the	truth	but	even	so	change	the	facts. The	communications	media	are
	concentrated	in	the	hands	of	a	few	men	who	are	thereby	enabled	to	manipulate

the	emotions	of	the	American	public	at	will. In	our	present	day	world	of	new	political	techniques	and	mass	publicity

leverages,	the	unknowing	are	at	the	mercy	of	the	knowing	as	never	before,	and	it

is	not	at	all	impossible	that	a	clique	wholly	alien	in	aims	to	the	interests	of	the

nation	could	gain	the	symbols	and	controls	of	power,	masquerading	as	the

"government"	of	the	nation	while,	in	reality,	exploiting	it	as	a	colony	for	their

own	private	aims. This	raises	the	question	as	to	how	far	a	man	of	integrity	may	be	morally	and

patriotically	bound	to	pursue	a	course	he	knows	to	be	injurious	to	his	well	being. If	you	saw	the	Sister	Kenny	picture	on	TV	June	8th	you’ll	understand	what	I

mean. Orthodox	medicine	has	all	but	destroyed	competitive	methods	of	healing

such	as	homeopaths,	osteopaths,	chiropractor	and	naturopaths. However,	in	spite

of	this	people	are	getting	relief	from	such	methods. People	should	have	the	right

to	select	the	Doctor	he	thinks	can	serve	him	best. It’s	not	the	people	who	are

wrong—it’s	the	system. BEN	GAMBLE,	Edenwold	Road,	Nashville,	Tenn.

Well,	it	took	the	best	legal	talent	the	state	could	muster,	at	taxpayers’	expense,	to

defend	their	position	while	I,	as	a	taxpayer,	must	pay	my	attorney	to	protect	my

children	from	having	their	blood	polluted	with	this	monkey	juice	which	they	say

has	been	80%	effective	in	preventing	polio. On	the	face	of	it,	you	know	that’s	not	true	and	the	records	show	we	have	more

polio	this	year	than	last. I	may	be	a	"craggy"	faced	person	as	stated	in	June	28th	issue	of	the	Sunday

Tennessean	and	I	may	even	be	one	of	the	thousands

dicate the following:
• A fever indicates that the vital force is activated
and the body is getting rid of the cause of the
disease through sweating;
• Loss of appetite indicates that the v ital force is
being preserved because it is no longer spent
on digestion;
• Fatigue indicates that the vital force is being
preserved because it is no longer spent on
physical and secondary functional body activ-
ities.
Patients fully recover from an acute co ndition
if they have an adequate supply of vital force and
when they preserve it by refusing to eat food and
stay inactive. The intake of any medications and
antifebrile drugs isn’t recommended. On the
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frcontrary, they stop, suppress, and harm this pro-
cess. True doctors of antiquity and modern phy-
sicians did everything possible to make this nat-
ural process easier.
Don’t think that fasting should be used only for
serious conditions and you can keep eating as
long as the body can digest food. On the con-
trary, s kipping a few meals at the onset of the dis-
ease is often sufficient to prevent a serious con-
dition. If functional disorders are still insignifi-
cant, as indicated by a coated tongue, headache,
feeling generally unwell, and other equally mi-
nor symptoms, shor t-term fasting is enough for
the body to eliminate intoxication before devel-
oping a serious condition.
If a person undergoes fasting in a calm setting
at the first signs of the disease, acute diseases will
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frbe mild and short -term in most cases. A patient
feels less discomfort, pain is weaker, there’s no
fever, weight loss is smaller, complications that
follow the disease are rare, and its duration is
much shorter than in patients who keep eating
when they’re sick. There’s only one conclusion -
as soon as you have the symptoms of an acute
condition, such as a loss of appetite and high fe-
ver, start fasting at once, and you will recover
quickly and without complications.

19.1.1. Fasting for acute infections (acute res-
piratory diseases, influenza)
Fasting is co mmon and natural if you have any
viral infection.
In fact, any acute infection manifested by in-
flammatory changes in the upper respiratory
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frtract, runny nose, cough, sore throat, and fever
is a detoxifying crisis. With its help, the body is
trying to get rid of excessive nutrition and escape
from overload, stress, and other adverse factors.
The effectiveness of dry fasting is very high. Any
inflammatory disease is treated 2 -3 times faster
than with normal water  fasting.
Please be aware that inflammation can’t exist
without liquid. Any inflamed area swells (swells
with liquid). Microorganisms, such as microbes
and viruses, can multiply only in sufficiently hu-
mid conditions. Water deficiency is extremely
harmful for inflammation. The human body can
withstand 10-day water deprivation (with low
activity and high air temperature). Microbes die
instantly without water.
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frOddly enough, the body can synthesize water
itself. It receives oxygen from the air and hydro-
gen from fatty tissues. Therefore, weight loss can
reach 3 kg per day during dry fasting, but only at
the expense of water. I must say that the body
also has certain water reserves. Up to 2 liters of
water is deposited just in the skin. There are wa-
ter reserves in some body cavities (serous cavi-
ties) and internal organs. At the very least, the
body can always withstand 5 days, even with an
active lifestyle.
As I said, the effectiveness of dry fasting treat-
ment is 2 -3 times higher than that of water  fast-
ing. Acute respiratory diseases can be cured in
just one  day, influenza in 2 -3 days, and pneumo-
nia in 4 -5 days. Of course, dry fasting is subjec-
tively rather difficult and is accompanied by
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frweakness. However, I met people who hadn’t felt
weak during dry fasting, and even experienced
mild euphoria.
Sometimes, we  are in certain conditions that
leave almost no time for normal treatment and
even regular fasting. You can try dry fasting
without cleansing the intestines during flights,
trips with transfers, or in complicated condi-
tions when it’s impossible to prepare properly.
Subjectively, this type of fasting is tolerated with
more difficulty, but its anti -inflammatory effect
will be exactly the same. Since the treatment
won’t take a lot of time due to its high effective-
ness, the recovery period will also be short.
Short- term therapeutic fasting, both water  and
dry, can be successfully used not only in treating
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frcolds but also in all cases of inflammation in any
internal or external organs.
Fasting is equally effective for treating skin
blotches and liver inflammation (hepatitis), in-
ner ear inflammation and periostitis. Regardless
of the location of the inflammation, the effect is
always very good.
How to cure acute respiratory diseases in the
shortest time possible? I really don’t know a
more effective method than shor t-term fasting.
Sometimes, sick people start fasting after step-
ping on the airplane ramp and they come off the
plane completely healthy, thanks to short -term
fasting.
Performance impairment is not the most im-
portant harmful effect caused by catarrhal dis-
eases. On the average, only acute respiratory
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frdiseases take 25 years of our life. Pneumonia is
the most common complication of influenza. As
a rule, it’s a secondary bacterial infection. A
combined infection (viral and bacterial pneu-
monia) develops more rare ly. Primary viral
pneumonia is a rare complication characterized
by a high mortality rate. It develops when influ-
enza is caused by a virus of the highest virulence.
At the same time, rapid and deadly hemorrhagic
pneumonia develops, lasting no longer than 3 -4
days. True and primary influenza pneumonia
primarily affects patients with chronic heart and
lung conditions accompanied by pulmonary en-
gorgement. Other secondary bacterial infections
that often develop following influenza include
rhinitis, sinusitis, b ronchitis, and otitis. Influ-
enza and acute respiratory viral infections are in
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frthe first place in the frequency and number of
cases in the world, and they constitute 95% of all
infectious diseases. Every year, up to 500 million
people in the world get sick, and 2 million of
them die.
So, you caught a cold at the wrong moment.
Let's be realistic and try to determine your con-
dition at once because it largely depends on the
type of infection. If you have a simple acute res-
piratory disease, 1 -2 days will be eno ugh to cure
you. If you have influenza, the case is more seri-
ous, and you will need at least 3 days to get bet-
ter. If you’re unfortunate enough to get pneumo-
nia, I saw only one patient who treated this dis-
ease in just 4 days of fasting.
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frThere are more tha n 140 causative agents of
acute respiratory diseases and only a few influ-
enza viruses (different strains).
How to distinguish an acute respiratory disease
from influenza? An acute respiratory disease is
usually characterized by a mild fever (38°). Body
temperature is usually about 37.5° -37.8°C. This
disease lasts for no longer than 2 weeks if it’s not
treated. Influenza is more serious. It’s consid-
ered a serious infectious

Moreover, caffeine decreases the amount of pepsin in your body. Pepsin is use d in the digestion of protein. Ironically, many
coffee drinkers on the standard American diet criticize the raw diet  because they believe they would not receive “enough” protein every day, while their daily intake of coffee impedes their absorption of th e very protein they claim they need.
Caffeine is also known to deplete the body of water, calcium, potassium, manga nese, and the vitamin B complex. Caffeine is
just one of many toxic substances that can be found in coffee.

Should I continue taking my medications?
The medical profession and its supporting industry, the medico pharmaceut ical cartel, operate from the theory that thousands
of separate illnesses exist whose symptoms can be treated or suppressed by  ingesting synthetic chemical compounds. The Natural
Hygiene approach is entirely different.
We recognize that genetically inherited abnormalities exist, us ually arising from generations of poor dietary and lifestyle
choices, and that very little can be done about these. Otherwise, however, we propose that there is only one illness: toxemia. This is
a condition of unclean blood and tissues, caused primarily by improper diet and li festyle. Unchecked, toxemia and its attendant
enervation (nervous exhaustion) get progressively worse over the y ears, leading to all manner of symptoms.
People find this very difficult to comprehend, but we must remember that t he symptoms are not the disease. Rather, symptoms
are actually the body’s methods of coping with toxemia. In order to “cur e” a disease condition, such as diabetes, cancer, or
cardiovascular disease, one must eliminate the underlying toxemia  of which the “disease” is only a manifestation.
As you begin to eat a healthy 80/10/10  raw diet, you will no longer overload your body on a daily basis with toxic residue
from food. Your body will begin to clean your blood, tissues, and organs of their toxic ity, and the medical condition(s) for which you
are taking the pharmaceutical medicine(s) will fade away. Check wi th your doctor as your health improves, in time he or she will
likely agree that your need to medicate will become obsolete.
Generally, the younger you are and the less time the body has spent in th e toxic state, the more rapidly it will clean itself. An
older person with more accompanying degeneration and accumulated toxici ty may take longer to cleanse and return to a healthy
state. Nevertheless, limited only by its vitality level, the body will  respond positively to cessation of the daily insult of cooked foods
and high-fat raw foods and to their replacement with whole, fresh, ripe, ra w fruits and vegetables. Still, food is only one part of
healthful living, and proper eating will never result in health in  and of itself.
Pharmaceutical medicines are toxic substances that you introduce  into your system at your own peril. Rarely are any claims
made that a drug will cure any particular chronic disease. At best, th ey usually profess only to substitute one set of symptoms for
another.

The Myth of the “Cure”
The very notion that “cure” is possible is preposterous. Healing, on the other hand is not only possible but is ongoing. The
inborn healing intelligence of the body is always  at work, repairing us and compensating for the challenges we subject it  to. This
healing occurs as quickly and efficiently as possible given our le vel of vital energy—and in a priority order we cannot comprehend.
All attempts (both conventional and “alternative”) to aid this pr ocess through outside interventions or treatments or ingestion of any
external substances only shift symptoms and create greater problems  for the body in the long run.
Healing comes through cessation of cause. We are never cured from a dis ease or symptom, for if we once again participate in
its cause the body again begins the process of generating the symptoms i n response.
The fact that pharmaceutical drugs are sold legally over the counte r or are prescribed by licensed physicians does not make
them any less dangerous to health than street drugs. Over 100,000 people die eac h year from the side effects of these patented
medicines. No one has ever died from eating an adequate supply of fruits and v egetables.
The advice to continue or curtail a particular medication is beyond the s cope of this book. However, any reputable physician
should encourage his or her patients to improve their underlying healt h so as to make the continued reliance on pharmaceutical
medications unnecessary.

How can I stay raw in the winter cold?
Fortunately, most folks who live in colder climates have homes in which  to eat, sleep, work, and live. We maintain our homes
at comfortable temperatures. People continue to drink cold beer and eat ice cr eam in the winter. They eat hot food in the heat of
summer. Neither geography nor the seasons are valid reasons for us to ch ange our diet from 80/10/10.
If in cold weather a person finds that they need more food, it is perfectly ac ceptable to increase consumption. The
caloronutrient percentages should not change appreciably, however, jus t as it does not change whether a person consumes 1,500
calories per day or 4,500 calories per day. Of course, it is almost always a healt hy idea to take a winter vacation to a warm-
weather climate if you live in a location where this season is parti cularly harsh.

Is there such a thing as foods that heal?
It is important to understand that foods don’t heal us; the body does all the  healing. Foods, cooked or raw, simply supply the materials the body uses to perform its various functions. However, low-fa t raw vegan foods provide the widest range of high-quality
nutrients and are, therefore, more likely to furnish the perfect proporti on of raw materials needed by the body for healing.
Beyond that, no specific raw food is better for “healing” than any othe r. Each supplies a form of raw material that the body
may need and use. Unlike cooked foods, raw foods do this without leaving a toxic resi due that can overwhelm the body’s ability to
maintain a healthy, balanced state.
A good variety of low-fat raw vegan foods in the diet is more than adequate to a ttain, regain, or maintain health. It is always
healthiest and most economical to emphasize in-season foods that are gr own locally, as these will likely be the freshest. It is best to
seek out variety over the course of the year, rather than combining foods a t every meal, every day, or even every week.

Is it all right to juice fruits and vegetables?
With a few exceptions, it is preferable to consume the whole foods rather t han to extract and drink part of them. Drinking fruit
or vegetable juice without the pulp being present to slow the absorption rat e of the nutrients can spike the blood sugar and throw
your blood chemistry out of balance.
One exception is fresh-squeezed citrus fruits, since a significa nt portion of the pulp is generally retained with the juice. The
other “exceptions” are to blend fruits such as melons into a watery  slush or to make fruit smoothies out of fruits like bananas,
strawberries, peaches, or mangos. Liquefying a blender full of whole frui t turns it into a thick smoothie, while keeping the entire
nutritional package together. Blending whole tomato, celery, and orange m akes a thick, tasty, salad dressing.

Do I need to take supplements?
You have no need for supplements if you are eating a calorically adequate  low-fat plant-based raw diet, engaging in frequent
vigorous activity, and otherwise living a healthful lifestyle. A ll the vitamins, minerals and nutrients any body needs are amply suppli ed
through the variety of fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens found in a  healthful diet.
That said, the health of each individual always takes priority over any  philosophical position. In individual cases, it may be
necessary to supplement the diet nutritionally during the initial  phases of lifestyle change rather than risk potential health damag e. One
example of this is a possible need to supplement B 12. If you experience extended periods of extreme stress, are nursing, eati ng too
much frozen food, are in transition, or your food is not grown in healthy soil, su pplementing this nutrient for a short period of time
may be beneficial. Supplementation would be done solely to allow time for the be nefits of correct living to accrue or for extenuating
circumstances to pass.
Nonetheless, the amount of nutrients that we require, across the board, i s far less than conventional guidelines would have us
believe. When the body is in a fit and healthy state and all systems are  working optimally, we experience superior absorption and
utilization and overall greater efficiency in every aspect of cel lular function. When we slow down and gum up the works with fat,
however, it’s a different story. And supplement vendors capitalize on  this fact to your detriment.
People have come to equate nutrition with pills, powders, and potions, rather th an with whole foods from nature. Ironically,
you generally won’t find a single food of any kind in most “health-food” store s. Their products, no matter how “whole” or “natural”
the ingredients, may shift symptoms but do not and cannot  create true health.

11Clove • Medical Economics – “Clove is antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, spasmolytic
and a local anaesthetic.”
Pear • Dr. James A. Duke – “Pear juice is rich in antiviral caffeic acid.”
Chilies • Ralph T. Golan, ND - “They have actions similar to those of the trinity roots. In addition,
they are exceptionally antiviral—the best broad-spectrum, widely available, well-tolerated
antiviral around. Jalapenos appear to be particularly antiviral for some reason.”
Yogurt • Jean Carper - “Yogurt has antiviral activity, for one reason, because it spurs activity of
natural killer cells diat are particularly vidous in attacking viruses.”
Barley • Jean Carper – “Has antiviral and anticancer activity.”
Blueberry • Jean Carper – “Also antiviral activity and high in natural aspirin.”
Broccoli • Jean Carper – “Has antiviral, anti-ulcer activity. A super source of chromium that helps
regulate insulin and blood sugar.”
Cabbage • Jean Carper - “Contains anti-ulcer compounds; cabbage juice helps heal ulcers in
humans. Has antibacterial and anti -viral powers”
Corn • Jean Carper - “Anticancer and antiviral activity, possibly induced by corn’s content of
protease inhibitors.”
Cranberry • Jean Carper - “Also has antiviral activity.”
Red Grapes • Jean Carper -”Red grapes are antibacterial and antiviral in test tubes.”
Pineapple • Jean Carper – “It is also antibacterial and antiviral and mildly estrogenic.”
Plum • Jean Carper – “Antibacterial. Antiviral. Works as a laxative.”
Raspberry • Jean Carper – “Antiviral, anticancer activity. High in natural aspirin.”
Soybean • Jean Carper – “Soybeans are die richest source of potent protease inhibitors which are
anticancer, antiviral agents. In many human tests, soybeans lower blood cholesterol
substantially.”
Carrot Juice • Gary Null - “Vegetable juices are a third health-giving detoxiﬁer. You will get the beneﬁcial
effects of vitamin A, which has been shown to be an antiviral vitamin; it protects against viruses.”
Clariﬁed Butter • Paul Pitchford - “According to Rudolph Ballentine, M.D., clariﬁed butter contains butyric
acid, a fatty acid that has antiviral and anti-cancer properties, and which raises the level of the antiviral chemical interferon in the body. Butyric acid also has characteristics found to be helpful in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.”
Brassica-Genus Vegetables• Paul Pitchford – “These contain dithiolthiones, a group of compounds which have anti-
cancer, antioxidant properties; indoles, substances which protect against breast and colon cancer; and sulphur, which has antibiotic and antiviral characteristics.”
Coconut Oil • Bruce Fife - “Coconut oil is, in essence, a natural antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and
antiprotozoal food.”
Beat the Bird Flu Virus
12Vitamin C • LEF.org – “Vitamin C in doses of 5,000-20,000 mg has been used by many people as a
natural antihistamine and antiviral therapy to treat common colds.”
• Phyllis A. Balch, CNC & James F. Balch, MD - “A powerful antiviral agent. Studies show
improvement quickly with high doses.”
• Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D. - “Although vitamin C has been shown to be antiviral and
antibacterial, its main effect is via improvement in host resistance. Many different
immunostimulatory effects have been demonstrated, including enhancing lymphoprolif-
erative response to mitogens and lymphotrophic activity and increasing interferon levels,
antibody responses, immunoglobulin levels, secretion of thymic hormones, and integrity of
ground substance.”
• Donald R. Yance, JR. – “Vitamin C ascorbate has an antiviral effect on the Rhus sarcoma
virus and human immunodeﬁciency virus. It is possible that vitamin C has an effect on virus production in infected cells and also extracellularly.”
• Sheldon Saul Hendle and Davis Rorvik - “Vitamin C has antioxidant activity. It may
also have anti-atherogenic, anticarcinogenic, antihypertensive, antiviral, antihistaminic, immunomodulatory, opthalmoprotective and airway-protective actions.”
• Thomas Bartram - “The vitamin is an anti -viral and immune system modulator without
unwanted side-effects.”
• Gale Maleskey - “Although there’s not much evidence to indicate that vitamin C can do the
same in humans, it’s still considered a powerful antioxidant that possesses antiviral properties.”
• Earl Mindell - “Vitamin C is one of the few known antiviral substances. It helps form
the collagen (glue) between cells, which helps prevent viruses from piercing cell walls. Viruses can multiply only after they have entered a cell. In addition, vitamin C is a boon to allergy sufferers.”
• Michael Jansen – “In addition to enhancing interferon production, ascorbate also has its
own antiviral properties, having been shown to kill some viruses if the tissue concentration is high enough. This is probably the basis for the successful use of intravenous vitamin C for viral illnesses such as hepatitis, mono-nucleosis and inﬂuenza.”
Vitamin A • Gale Maleskey – “It battles viruses and bacteria in two ways. By keeping the cells healthy all
along your respiratory tract, it provides a barrier that resists microorganisms. If some invading microorganisms manage to breach the barrier, you want to have antibodies and lymphocytes ready to destroy them. Vitamin A helps your body provide those reinforcements.”
• Joseph Pizzorno, MD – “Vitamin A has also demonstrated signiﬁcant antiviral activity and
has prevented the immune suppression induced by adrenal hormones, severe burns,
and surgery.”
Vitamin E • Sheldon Saul Hendle and Davis Rorvik - “Vitamin E has antioxidant activity. It may also
have anti-atherogenic, antithrombotic, anticoagulant, neuroprotective, antiproliferative, immunomodulatory, cell membrane-stabilizing and antiviral actions.”
• Alice Feinstein – “Like selenium, vitamin E has antiviral and antioxidant properties, so it
may help protect the heart against infection and toxins”

radioprotective activities. It has putative anti-inﬂammatory, wound healing
and antiviral activities”Antiviral Vitamins

13Zinc • Ralph T. Golan, ND – “Lozenges also bathe and saturate the whole respiratory area with
this antiviral mineral. Studies show that zinc shortens colds and reduces symptoms,
theoretically by preventing viral replication, stimulating immune activity, and/or stabilizing
cell membranes.”
• Joseph E Pizzorno, ND – “Zinc also has a protective effect against beta-cell destruction
and has well-documented antiviral effects.”
• Sheldon Saul Hendle and Davis Rorvik - “Zinc may have immunomodulatory activity.
It may also have antioxidant activity. Zinc has putative antiviral, fertility-enhancing and
retinoprotective activities


-3. 'But we are sure that the judgment of God is ac-cording to truth against them which commit such things,' Romans 2:2).
"No one can break the Golden Rule and be truly humble. Humility is hidden from the eyes of its possessor. "No one has a right to judge anot her. God has reserved this posi-
tion for Himself. Only God has the power to destroy the soul, even af-ter death.
"We do have a right to be a 'fru it' inspector, providing we do not
permit anyone to know that we may be challenged to be his fruit in-spector. The second we crow about the bad results of our fruit inspect-ing we become a critic and a judge. The judgment of character by an-172 other is a sin. It matters little whether the judgment is just or unjust.
The Golden Rule was broken the moment the first unkind word was
spoken. Such action affects our health.
"Never push down anyone. If you push him down you must go
down with him. Lift him up and you will go up with him.
"There are many ways to lift others up and evaluate their fruit
without transgressing the Golden Rule. You can say things that will not degrade and not break the Golden Rule and hopefully lift anyone up. At least no evil is thought and no harm done. You may say, 'He does very, very well considering his mentality.
Except by the grace of God I could be just like him.' This shows
love. Or, you may say, 'That fellow is a genius. His most serious hand-icap is his handicap.' Again love  is shown. Again, you can say, 'That
fellow does the best he can. He probably never had the opportunities that you and I had.' Or, you can say, 'Just because he is different please do not berate him. Some very great men were considered to be morons. God loves all His creatures, even morons. May the Lord bless him.' You might also say, 'I admire his spunk even though his dreams seldom come true. It is better to die trying than never try at all.
"So if you want better health, lift up your fellow man." Another of Reams' favorite sayings is: "There's no money in gos-
sip. One of the reasons that so many people are so broke all the time is that they are so busy attending to other people's business until they don't have time enough to work at the job that pays well for their time
and their effort."
He also says that "Dreams are only profitable when made into a
blueprint and the blueprint into building the ideal of your dream, and this is better done when fertilized with faith, cultivated with patience and with sweat and elbow grease to bring the blueprints into reality."   173 Two of his favorite poems are:

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tied by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
 If you can dream-and not make dreams your master:
If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same.
 If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss.
 If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And-which is more-you'll be a Man, my son!

-Rudyard Kipling

Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be 174 For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud: Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.

It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

-William Ernest Henley
   Carey A. Reams loves the Bible most of an. He cherishes it, feasts
upon it and lives it to the best of his knowledge and ability.
This man will help you if you are sick regardless of an the threats
that are made against him. He is a man who is at peace with his God and one of his favorite expressions is: "Perfect love casteth out all fear." There are three things necessary to share God's love and His glory, says Reams, namely:
 "1. Give yourself and put an your possessions at His feet.  "2. Completely empty yourself of yourself, ding not to worldly goods, turn loose of an your pride and self-esteem, be-
come as a little child that is abso lutely obedient to his parents, be
thankful for His tender mercies and praise Him for an problems He as-signs you to strengthen your faith. Rejoice in an tribulation for His name's sake.
 "3. Keep His commandments and teach others so that your reward
will be great in His kingdom. Then ask whatsoever you will in His 175 name and He will answer your prayer, if you will take your prayer re-
quest the way He sends it."
Reams' message to drug pushers and drug salesmen is: “USE
DRUGS AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. USE THE WORD OF GOD AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. GOD IS READY TO DELIVER YOU FROM POOR HEALTH INTO GOOD HEALTH WITHOUT DRUGS OR WITH A LOT LESS DRUGS.”
Since he made these statements his nickname among the students
of the seminars that he teaches is “Moses”.   176 Despite our awesome technology and expenditures we are plagued
by cancer, heart disease, diabetes and a veritable hoard of ailments.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN... if someone uncovered the cause of all these afflictions and a
way to keep the body free of them?
That person would become an instant hero, he'd be awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize, his face would appear on the cover of every maga-zine in the country, they'd build monuments in his honor. they'd name cities after him.
Right? Evidently not! There is a man who discovered the key to health – a way to correct
the cause of these disease and maintain a high level of health free from such aliments.
But there are no cities named after him. Instead he was. thrown into pris on - not once but several times. He
was called “quack,” ridiculed, and harassed.
But despite the accusations, despite the legal tribulations, despite
the condemnation of the established authoritative sciences, he was NEVER BEEN PROVEN WRONG!
With the determination of one bur dened by the truth he fought his
antagonists and is slowly gaining acceptance among his one-time op-pressors. Who is he?
Carey A. Reams. Remember his name; you’ll be hearing a lot more of it. He’s already fired a national controversy and his book is going to
rock the world of health science like it’s never been rocked before!
Here in his book are the nuts and bolts of the Carey A. Reams sto-
ry without the one-sided assessments.
The hows and whys of his lifetime work.
Read it. Then you decide...

The very first thing on this list, before even delving into the “edible” benefits of coconut oil, has to be
moisturizing. In lieu of your regular lotion, coconut oil delivers a refreshing, healing, burst of moisture that
penetrates your skin and works to truly heal it (not just soak in and dry up!) It can feel oily at first, but that’s
why it’s important to only use a little-it goes a long way. Give it a minute and it will dry beautifully. Use as you would regular lotion.
2. Conditioner
When the teeny tiny overlapping plates that make up our outer hair shaft get rumpled and out of whack, coconut oil is there to smooth those tiny little cells right back into place, and hold them there. You can use it
on your entire scalp/head for deep conditioning, but you can generally just use it on your ends, where it’s the
hardest for the body’s natural oils to reach, and where the most breakage occurs.
3. Make Homemade Soap
If you’re interested in soap making, coconut oil serves as a wonderful pure base that can simplify ingredients, add hardness to the soap, and help break down grease and oils. It can break them down so effectively, in fact,
that too much will have a drying effect (when in soap form.) To prevent this, you need to “superfat” your soap-
that is, adding more oil than the lye turns to soap. All you need is coconut oil, water, and lye. Don’t be shy of lye. While it should be handled with care, I
