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


 from the lifting power of the
vacuum created by the airspeed at the top of the surface of the wings of the
airplane against  the resistance of the air in the atmosphere. Speed is the
difference between these two forces; therefore, force results in counterforce. The secret of power is that there is no resistance to power! There is the
Greek legend of Sisyphus trying to roll the rock up the side of the hill
against the force of gravity. The movement of the rock is the
mathematically calculable difference between the upward force of muscle
strength and the downward force of gravity. If the first exceeds the second,
the rock moves up the hill. If the balance is reversed, the rock moves
downhill. Trying  to climb the ladder of success and get to the pinnacle by
force is playing the Sisyphus game. All he ever got out of it was a bad case
of hemo rrhoids. Of course we all know the real end of Sisyphus’ s story. He
started drinking heavily and using a lot of drugs, and died of an overdose. A lot of the world goes that way, doesn’ t it? They had that flash of
apparent succes s and then missed the boat. They seemed to have it but
really didn’t. Why imitate them? We’re not interested in looking  at things in
cross sections only, but rather in longitudinal sections. Proof of success is
how it comes out in the end. To fly through the air and then go down the
tubes is not the way we want to go. Yet most do that in the world, don’t
they? They can’t wait to read all the silly tabloids so that they can buy the
same dress or pants, the same kind of car, go to the same restaurants, drop
the same names, and try to get in the same paper as those they read about. Futile, isn’ t it? Power doesn’ t come from facts, positions, or having anything “out
there.” Power comes from an inner position relative to those things. If we
look at it, we’ll see that there’ s no power in any of the facts of the world. It
was only how we reacted to those facts, how we felt about them, and how
they affected us that gave them power. It was our whole attitu de about it
that determined the experience. Loud music is annoying to some people and
exhilarating to others. Quality is not “out there,” but within ourselves;
therefore, success is a way of being with things. It’s a set of attitudes. It’s a
style. It’s an intention to be correctly motivated and to hold the appropriatevision. These factors will automatically guarantee success. We don’t have to
do anything about it. If we have the right attitude, everyone is going to seek us out. Everyone
will want to be with us. Everyone will clamor to come to our parties. We’ll
stop worrying whether people are going to come to the party, as most hosts
and hostesses do. We’ll know that the opposite is true: unless we keep them
out, the place is going to be mobbed. I’ll grant that we’ve obtained some bananas already. What I’m concerned
about is that we don’t have bunches of them. If we live on a tropical island
of endless banana trees, there’ s really no point in storing them. If we
collected banana s or secretly hid them someplace, the whole village would
think we were crazy. Once we get what this book is about and look around,
we’ll be highly amused. All these people are hoarding their bananas while
we meander through the banana  trees. We’ll also see how sad it is. All the
thirsty people sitting in a pool of water, all the loveless people surrounded
by love, all the poor people surrounded by money, all the failures
surrounded by success, all those  who are at the end of their rope surrounded
by opportunity... the only thing is that they just can’ t see it. It is set in legend that the Buddha passed on enlightenmen t without
saying a word to his follower  Mahakasyapa. At that great moment in
history, Buddha silently hand ed him a flower, and in that moment,
Mahakasyapa became enlightened. There was no striving, trying, practicing,
or straining for enlightenment. There was none of that left-br ain stuff. It
was a sudden “aha,” completely and totally an “experience.”
The Buddha came from the knowing certainty that Mahakasyapa was
already enlightened but didn’ t realize it. Now, we don’t know whether after
Mahakasyapa “got it” he went out and bought himself a stretch limo or not,
but it is obvious from the story that it would have been immaterial. If he
thought it served some purpose in the world, I’m sure he would have
purchased one. The telltale proof of what has happened is that when we
have it all, we don’ t need  anything. This brings us to looking at the whole predicament, blockade, and
obstacle of “need.” Need by its very essence is a denial of the truth about
ourselves. It is stating that we don’t know something, when in truth we
actually do; we’re just not connected with it. Once we have everything, we
don’t need anything. Once we have the formula, we don’t need to execute it
—we are, however, totally free to do so if we wish.No matter how much we strain and move our eyeballs around, we can’t
see the back of our heads. Seeing the back of our heads comes from a
totally different principle; it requires a mirror. That’ s the purpose of the
world. The world is merely a mirror in which we can see the back of our
heads. What we see as our personal world is the reflection of the principles
we’ve been holding on the level of cause, which is within our own minds. Success comes about automatically from knowing where to look. Not what
to look for, but wher e to look. We do not look at what  we have, nor at what
we do, but at what we are. Once  we find within ourselves what we’ve been
searching for, we won’ t have to bother looking “out there.”
The closest connection between things in the unconscious mind,
strangely, is the 180-degree opposite. We get the answers to a lot of
problems if we merely turn around the cart and horse. If we can suspend for
an insta nt our belief systems about cause and effect and presume for the
sake of the exercise that they are reversed, the answers will reveal
themselves in an instant. We get that “aha” feeling. Freud first noticed this
in his book on dreams back at the turn of the 20th century: One of the
mechanisms of the unconscious mind was to disguise a thing as its opposite. Flipping the coin is one of the secrets of success. Well, we’ve strained our minds so far with what sounds like theory. Theory sounds like it might be mystical, or psychological, or theoretical, or
existential, or some other term that our minds are labeling it. The reason
this is happening  is resistance. Our left brain wants to continue to run things
and be in charge. It doesn’ t want to hear that it is supposed to be merely the
servant of something greater. It doesn’ t want us to discover it. It wants us to
think that it’ s the only side of the coin. I’m telling you, there are two sides, and the left brain doesn’ t want us to
know about that. That’ s natur al. That’ s okay. So to satisfy it, we will
conclude this chapter with practical examples. The examples will satisfy the
left brain’ s need for information and to be convinced. In the meantime, what I’m really conveying here is the basic principle
behind all the examples. The left brain can’t resist that, so we’ll finesse it. Not that the left brain doesn’ t have its function of great importance; wedon’t want to put it down. The left brain executes what the whole person
knows. Lack of success comes from holding propositions as an “either -or”
instead of a “both.” In the everyday world of competition and success, it
means to stop having enemies or competitors and to stop holding them that
way. Instead, we must start holding them as pacers and sources of
inspiration. If it wasn’ t for the pacers, the greyhounds wouldn’ t run to their
maximum poten tial. Look at what we used to think of as enemies and
competitors as merely sources of inspiration. What they’re challenging is
within us—not us against them. The karate champions didn’ t master their
opponents at all. They only mastered themselves. Give up competing with anyone. The competitors are merely examples of
what can be, and are therefore energy sources. At the end of any great war,
the opposing commanders cong ratulate each other, don’t they? A champion
and a worthy opponent treat each other with honor and respect. They
address each other as generals. We can’t own that which is great within
ourselves unless  we learn to recognize it in others. After the trial, the
lawyers shake hands and often go for dinner together. The boxing
champions thank each other. A real champion like Joe Lewis  knew that
without the top-notch performan ce of his opponent


POISONED	NEED
The	purpose	of	this	volume	is	to	provide	a	working	reference	of	various

statements	regarding	vaccination	and	not	to	offer	a	"cure"	of	any	specific	disease

in	any	specific	individual. Preconceived	opinions	regarding	vaccination	will	not	be	changed	overnight	nor

by	the	reading	of	a	single	book. Herein	are	the	opinions	of	many	great	scientists

and	doctors	(of	many	schools). Many	have	spent	a	lifetime	of	research—of	trial

and	error	before	making	their	statements. The	reader	has	the	privilege	to	accept

or	to	reject	the	statements	after	due	deliberation. Thus	we	feel	this	volume	should	not	be	considered	a	dangerous	book	for	the

layman	but	a	thought	provoking	treatise. The	Publisher. PREFACE

For	the	past	2000	years	physicians	have	been	looking	in	the	wrong	direction	for

the	cure	of	disease. Their	worse	than	useless	practice	of	killing	germs	with

poison	drugs	has	never—and	can	never—solve	the	problem	of	disease. During	the	Dark	Ages,	before	the	introduction	of	improved	nutrition	and

sanitation,	the	world	was	intermittently	visited	with	epidemics	of	smallpox. The
	cause	was	stubbornly	ignored	and	the	seeds	for	more	disease	were	sown	when

vaccination	was	brought	into	popular	use. This	infusion	of	poison	injected	into

the	bloodstream	of	the	masses	only	served	to	intensify	the	disease	in	some	cases,

suppress	the	symptoms	in	others	and	create	new	and	more	serious	diseases	in

still	others. So,	with	the	passing	of	years	we	have	seen	this	misbegotten	child	of

ignorance	grow	into	a	Frankenstein	monster	of	immense	proportions	that	moves

relentlessly	forward,	grinding	under	foot	the	multitudes	that	throng	its	path. Through	the	lethal	power	of	this	poisoned	needle,	the	simple	zymotic

(contagious)	diseases	of	the	past	have	been	devolved	into	the	horrors	of	the

present—our	terrifying	and	expanding	crop	of	"killer	diseases". Many	of	these

strange	"mystery	diseases"	that	baffle	the	entire	medical	world,	are	the	sordid

products	of	vaccine	poisons	that	disturb	the	chemical	balance	of	the	body	and

interfere	with	normal	functioning. All	these	medically-made	atrocities	are	far	worse	than	smallpox	or	any	of	the

other	eruptive	diseases	that	nature	provides	as	a	means	of	expelling	the

accumulated	poison	waste	from	the	abused	body. This	interference	with	the

balanced	economy	of	nature	has	multiplied	the	problems	beyond	the	power	of

science	to	control. Our	worst	epidemics	now	are	epidemics	of	vaccination	in	which	more	people	are

killed	every	year	by	"vaccinal	diseases"	than	by	the	diseases	that	the

vaccinations	were	supposed	to	combat. Complete	freedom	from	disease	can	scarcely	be	found	except	in	remote	islands

or	isolated	communities	that	have	not	been	invaded	by	medical	mischief	and

commercialized	products. Is	our	proud	civilization	to	be	degraded,	corrupted,

and	destroyed	by	its	own	inventions	designed	for	selfish	profit	and	exploitation

of	the	race? Vaccination,	instead	of	being	the	promised	blessing	to	the	world,	has	proved	to

be	a	curse	of	such	sweeping	devastation	that	it	has	caused	more	death	and

disease	than	war,	pestilence,	and	plague	combined. There	is	no	scourge	(with	the

possible	exception	of	atomic	radiation)	that	is	more	destructive	to	our	nation’s

health	than	this	monument	of	human	deception—this	slayer	of	the	innocent—
this	crippler	of	body	and	brain—THE	POISONED	NEEDLE. Eleanor	McBean,	PhD,	ND	CHAPTER	1
THE	POISONED	NEEDLE
"Truth	wears	no	mask,	seeks	neither	place	nor	applause,	bows	to	no	human

shrine;	she	only	asks	a	hearing." The	increasing	flood	of	evidence	against	vaccination	and	the	growing	for	the

unsuppressed	facts	about	this	"touchy"	subject	have	literally	forced	this	book

into	being. As	this	work	has	progressed	and	the	extensive	research	has	been	carried	to	trace

down	and	organize	the	material	for	this	manuscript,	other	valuable	long

concealed	records,	that	I	had	not	expected,	have	come	into	my	hands	as	if	by

some	unseen	power. It	is	to	be	hoped	that	the	information	contained	within	these

pages	will	help	to	sweep	away	the	tragic	errors	that	cloud	the	minds	of	the

people	as	well	as	the	physicians. It	is	urgent	that	the	living	words	of	TRUTH	or

some	other	force	be	applied	to	abolish	that	deadly	weapon,	THE	POISONED

NEEDLE,	which	has	been	the	menacing	road	block	standing	m	the	way	of

progress	in	the	healing	field	for	these	many	years. Vaccination	and	the	false	germ	theory	upon	which	it	is	hinged	has	led	mankind

far	astray	and	has	severed	the	fragile	thread	that	offered	medical	theory	and

practice	a	hope	of	becoming	a	science. Under	the	sway	of	our	present

degenerative	medical	methods	the	health	of	our	people	has	declined	to	the	lowest

point	in	history. The	1955	survey	showed	that	over	90%	of	our	population	is

below	par	mentally	or	physically. According	to	life	insurance	records,	army

reports,	hospital	statements,	government	statistics	and	physical	examinations	for

marriage	certificates	and	employment,	etc.,	it	is	revealed	that	there	is	hardly	one

normal,	healthy	person	in	a	hundred. The	Cancer	Foundation	states	that	one	out

of	every	four	is	marked	for	cancer. The	figures	on	heart	trouble	are	even	worse

than	that	and	the	other	"killer	diseases"	come	in	for	their	toll. Practically	all	the

rest	of	the	people	have	symptoms	of	less	serious	diseases;	these	symptoms	being

headaches. constipation,	weak	eves,	dental	caries,	colds,	pain,	stomach	trouble,

etc. Most,	if	not	all,	diseases	are	avoidable	and	curable	(at	a	certain	stage)	but	not
	under	the	deceptive	medical	method	of	poisoning	the	well	and	the	sick	with

vaccines	and	drugs	and	mutilating	them	with	unnecessary	operations. When	socialized	medicine	was	threatening,	a	meeting	of	medical	officials	was

called	to	discuss	just	how	many	and	which	operations	would	really	be	necessary

if	there	was	no	profit	in	it
. It	was	decided	that	only	3%	would	be	considered

essential	under	those	conditions. This	information	came	from	a	medical	student

whose	instructor	had	attended	the	meeting. WHERE	HAVE	THE	"GREAT	STRIDES	OF	MEDICAL

SCIENCE"	TAKEN	US? After	a	glance	at	the	medical	records	covering	the	past	70	years	of	what

boastfully	called	"our	great	strides	of	medical	science"	we	can	hardly	help

wondering	if	those	seven	league	strides	haven’t	been	in	reverse,	because	there	a

marked	decline	in	our	nation’s	health	and	a	shocking	increase	in	the	killer

diseases	during	those	very	years. The	acute	diseases	that	were	to	have	been

conquered	by	vaccination	have	only	been	masked	and	"save	face"	or	suppressed

until	the	retained	poisons	corro


	of	crackpots	which	Dr.

Lentz	mentioned	in	previous	articles. However,	I	am	a	law	abiding	citizen	in

what	we	all	hope	is	free	America	and	under	the	Bill	of	Rights	of	our	Constitution

I	hope	I	still	have	this	right	to	protect	my	children	from	having	their	blood
	contaminated	with	the	organs	from	some	poor	unfortunate	animal	whose	death

and	suffering	must	be	heard	by	my	God	who	promises	to	punish	all	who	disobey

his	laws. My	case	is	attracting	worldwide	attention. I	have	received	letters	and	a	great

many	statistics	from	several	foreign	countries	where	the	Salk	and	other

poisonous	serums	have	been	outlawed. Maybe	a	poor	country	man	like	me	can’t	expect	to	get	his	side	of	this	dirty

situation	presented	under	the	Iron	Curtain	laws	which	are	worse	than	those	of

Hitler	or	Russia	which	are	being	used	to	drug	and	brainwash	us	into	submission. I	may	even	have	to	go	to	jail	because	my	rights	as	a	free	man	have	been	taken

over	by	a	more	powerful	money	grabbing	group	who	have	the	means	to	crucify

me	on	the	cross	of	freedom. This	case	will	hurt	Tennessee	are	more	than	it	will	me. People	will	hesitate	to	come	here	when	they	learn	what	their	children	must

submit	to	before	they	can	go	to	school	here	in	Davidson	County. I	have	received

letters	from	all	over	this	country	praising	my	position	in	this	matter	and	I	wish	to

quote	the	following	from	a	letter	which	I	recently	received	from	the	health

officer	from	one	of	the	largest	cities	in	this	country:

"I	am	happy	to	see	you	challenge	the	constitutionality	of	the	Salk	Vaccine	law	in

Tennessee. It	seems	to	me	that	your	basic	defense	should	be	along	the	following

lines:
Public	Health	authority	re	communicable	disease	control	is	based	on	the	right	of

people	to	be	protected	against	an	individual	who	has	a	communicable	disease,

and	who	is	therefore	a	threat	to	them. Thus	we	have	the	authority	to	quarantine

certain	diseases	e.g. tuberculosis	or	to	require	immunizations	which	are	capable

of	preventing	the	spread	of	a	disease	if	the	person	in	question	is	to	associate

publicly	with	others,	e.g. smallpox	and	diphtheria	immunizations. In	the	latter

cases	the	immunizing	agent	not	only	prevents	deleterious	effects	of	the	disease

but	more	pertinently	prevents	the	person	from	being	infected	with	the	disease

which	in	turn	makes	him	incapable	of	becoming	a	spreader	of	the	disease. It	is

by	preventing	the	infection	that	the	deleterious	effects	of	the	disease	is

prevented. From	a	public	health	point	of	view,	then,	when	we	require	quarantine	or

immunization	it	is	primarily	to	protect	the	public	at	large	from	the	individual	and

only	secondarily	to	protect	the	individual. This	we	can	contrast	to	a	non-
communicable	disease	program	where	our	primary	interest	is	to	protect	the

individual,	e.g. we	may	advise	yearly	chest	x-rays	for	the	detection	of	lung

cancer	or	periodic	vaginal	exams	and	testing	for	women	to	detect	early	cervical

cancer. But	our	authority	does	not	permit	us	to	make	this	mandatory	because	of

the	non-communicability	of	the	disease. It	is	for	this	reason	that	our	most

important	work	in	health	education	is	accomplished	by	education	and	not	by

regulation. Most	states	in	the	United	States	e.g. Illinois,	also	feel	that	even	in	the

case	of	communicable	disease	control	through	immunization	it	is	preferred	that

in	a	democracy	this	be	accomplished	by	education	rather	than	by	law. (I	can

make	available	a	quotation	to	this	effect	from	the	standard	text	on	public	health

administration). Now	the	Salk	vaccine	is	a	very	peculiar	immunizing	agent. The	Salk	vaccine	is

only	alleged	to	protect	the	individual	from	the	paralytic	effects	of	a	polio

infection	in	a	given	individual	by	blocking	the	virus	in	its	passage	from	the

alimentary	tract	to	the	nervous	system	through	the	circulating	blood. The

evidence	is	extensive	at	present	(and	I	can	give	you	the	literature	on	this)	that	the

Salk	vaccine	does	not	prevent	the	alimentary	infection	with	the	polio	virus	so

that	the	child	or	adult	vaccinated	with	the	Salk	vaccine	still	remains	a	threat	to

others	by	virtue	of	the	continuing	discharge	of	polio	virus	from	his	throat	and

from	the	intestinal	tract	even	though	he	is	alleged	to	be	protected	from	the

paralytic	effects	of	the	infection	by	stopping	the	spread	from	the	intestinal	tract

to	the	central	nervous	system	through	the	bloodstream. The	Salk	vaccine,	then,	is	uniquely	different	from	smallpox,	and	diphtheria

immunizations	because	it	does	not	prevent	the	spread	of	the	infection	and

therefore	it	does	not	prevent	the	public	from	the	polio	infection	but	it	only

protects	the	given	individual	vaccinated	(if	it	works)	from	the	paralytic	effect	of

the	disease. To	require	obligatory	vaccination	for	the	sake	of	the	individual	is	radically

different	from	requiring	vaccination	for	the	sake	of	the	public	or	for	the	common

good. It	infringes	on	a	basic	right	of	an	individual	to	freely	accept	or	reject

something	that	is	being	done	to	his	body. This	principle	is	quite	obvious	in

surgery. A	patent	has	a	right	to	refuse	what	may	even	turn	out	to	be	a	lifesaving

measure. At	any	rate	no	patient	is	operated	upon	unless	he	voluntarily	gives
	written	permission. The	same	applies	to	medication. No	person	can	be	forced	to

take	medication	except	under	the	special	circumstances	of	being	a	threat	to

others. But	even	in	the	quarantine	law	for	tuberculosis,	where	a	patient	refuses	to

undergo	treatment	which	would	make	him	non-communicable	he	still	retains	the

right	(intrinsic)	to	remain	quarantined	rather	than	accept	treatment. This	I	believe	then	should	be	your	primary	defense:	the	right	of	an	individual	to

refuse	a	vaccination	when	the	effect	of	the	vaccine	at	best	can	only	protect	him

and	contributes	no	protection	to	the	public	at	large. Smallpox	and	diphtheria	do

both:	they	protect	the	disease	from	spreading,	and	protect	the	individual	from

getting	the	infection	and	thereby	the	disease. The	Salk	vaccine	does	not	effect

the	spread	of	the	disease	it	only	and	allegedly	protects	the	individual	inoculated

from	the	paralytic	effects	of	the	infection. Your	defense,	however,	should	not	stop	here—for	the	following	reasons:

1. Most	experts	will	agree	that	enough	time	hasn’t	passed	as	yet	to	really	know

whether	the	vaccine	is	effective. At	present,	our	evidence	is	mostly

circumstantially	or	statistically	contrived. 2. The	manufacturing	process	of	the	vaccine	has	not	as	yet	been	standardized. a.	Potency	cannot	be	guaranteed,	and	much	of	the	vaccine	on	the	market	since

regulations	were	introduced	trying	to	make	the	vaccine	safe	(May	1955	and	Nov.

 DMSO.
People ask, if it is safe enough for internal treatment of interstitial cystitis, why
isn’t it safe to paint it on the skin for arthritic joints?
An underground market for supplying the substance has developed.
Pharmacies sell the pure medical grade on a doctor’s prescription at a cost of
anywhere from fifteen to twenty dollars for four ounces. Technically, once a drug
gets FDA approval for certain uses—such as for interstitial cystitis—it is not
illegal in any state for a doctor to prescribe it for other purposes.
The thriving nationwide black market in DMSO is also operating,
unfortunately, across the counters of hardware stores, in gasoline stations, at mail-
order houses, on the backs of trucks operating near shopping centers or parking
lots, and even out of ice cream parlors. For example, according to a published
article in the
Chicago Tribune
,
3
 the industrial grade dimethyl sulfoxide solvent has
appeared in such unlikely spots as an ice cream parlor and a locksmith’s shop in
Chicago. A solvent retailer based in Seattle, Washington, offers a toll free mail-
order number and has opened stores in Milwaukee, Chicago, and Evanston,
Illinois.
The sales pitch for the substance is careful not to make medical claims about
DMSO. “We’re selling this to you as a solvent; what you do with it is up to you.
It’s against the law any other way,” one salesperson says.
Billy Williams, president of the solvent retail firm, says that the DMSO he
sells is pharmaceutical grade. It’s safe, he assures people, though he technically
sells it as a solvent.
“We’re marketing this stuff because it sells,” Williams said. “And we assume
people use it. We get orders from doctors, chiropractors, and dentists.” He opened
a packaging and distribution plant, and buys a pharmaceutical grade DMSO in
bulk from an undisclosed medical laboratory, then packages it into smaller bottles
in his Seattle plant. “We buy it third-hand from the medical lab,” Williams said.
“They ‘back door’ it to us.
“As to the medical usage, we can’t help but be aware that people actually are
using it to reduce the pain of arthritis. I have read many letters that people are
using it, because they imply that they have arthritis or muscle strain or a number of
medical disorders.
“I know what we’re selling it for: we’re selling it for a profit. That sounds
crass, but that’s what people are in business for. The stuff works! We’re not
profiteering in the sense that we’re going to profit from somebody’s misery.”
Another typical source of public sale is a hairstyling salon in Chicago. Themanager said he stopped selling the solvent because of the controversy over its
legality. “I only sold it for a few days,” he said. He had purchased a case of
industrial DMSO from a Chicago police officer who had also supplied the ice
cream parlor.
Research Laboratories, Inc. of Salt Lake City, Utah is often referred to by the
United States Food and Drug Administration when inquiries are made by
physicians and other health professionals for a source of dimethyl sulfoxide for
human therapeutic purposes. Research Laboratories sells a 50 milliliter (ml)
ampoule of DMSO to health professionals for injection purposes for $28.00.
Specifically for the consumer, the finest source of acquiring DMSO products
is Dr. James Critchlow, proprietor of American Pharmaceutical Enterprises, Inc.,
P.O. Box 12543, Scottsdale, Arizona 85267; telephone (602) 998-4142 or call toll
free (800) 345-3391. American Pharmaceutical Enterprises (APE) provides a
deodorized, pharmaceutical grade of DMSO quite suitable for human therapeutic
application. A purified pint by mail order costs $60.00 and Dr. Critchlow’s
slightly lemon-scented DMSO Solvent Creme in a four-ounce jar is $29.95.
He also furnishes DMSO products for medical doctors, osteopaths, podiatrists,
chiropractors, naturopaths, homeopaths, dentists, nurses, physical therapists, and
other types of health professionals who utilize DMSO as part of their therapeutic
reserves. Under the Critchlow company name, Phyne Pharmaceuticals, Inc., P.O.
Box 12543, Scottsdale, Arizona 85261 or 14325 North 79th Street, Scottsdale,
Arizona 85260; telephone (602) 998-4142 and toll free (800) 345-3391, health
professionals are offered medical grade products for topical or internal
application. For instance, the Phyne Pharmaceutical pint quantity of liquid DMSO
is so pure that many doctors use it for intravenous infusions of patients. Product
prices are considerably less for health professionals when they purchase in
quantity.
Federal studies, according to former FDA Commissioner, Jere E. Goyan,
indicate that industrial grade DMSO is not suitable for treating humans. It does not
have to pass the same quality control as the medical grade. When the solvent is
transferred to smaller containers, it increases the chances of impurity. The FDA
official warning states that the “risk that may accompany use of the industrial
grade... is its potential as a carrier chemical capable of delivering harmful
substances into the bloodstream if they are present in impure DMSO or on the
skin.”
“People are taking a risk whenever they use a substance of unknown quality
and effect,” Commissioner Goyan said. “It’s risky business to drink, inject, orapply to the skin any substance not intended for that purpose.”
The black market in DMSO, pure grade and industrial grade, continues simply
because the FDA keeps the drug off the market for any use except the treatment of
interstitial cystitis. Arthur Scherbel, former senior physician at the Cleveland
Clinic’s Department of Rheumatic Disease and Immunology, declared that the
FDA is holding back approval of the drug “for no good reason. People are using it
without proper guidance, and that is a mistake. The sooner it is released the
better.”

LEGISLATORS ACT ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE
No fewer than six resolutions to legalize the public use of DMSO and to override
the ruling of the FDA have been introduced into the United States Congress.
United States Senator Mark O. Hatfield (R-Ore.) said: “Since I have no scientific
expertise, I cannot make an absolute statement that DMSO is indeed the wonder
drug of our century, but every bit of evidence I encounter reinforces the premise
that it is.
“After over 1,200 scientific publications on the merits of DMSO, after
international symposia in Germany, the United States, and Austria—all concluding
that DMSO is safe and effective—after three separate pharmaceutical firms have
submitted four new drug applications to the FDA, DMSO is still not available to
Americans, though it is available in many other countries. I have urged the Senate
to support my legislation on behalf of all Americans who are suffering today from
diseases untreatable by any other known substance and those who may have need
of this drug in the future.”
The Honorable Wendell Wyatt (D-Ore.) reintroduced legislation in
the United
States House of Representatives aimed at getting a fair hearing for DMSO. “Since
the FDA action against DMSO has been taken on the flimsiest of evidence,” said
Wyatt, “we have been unable to get even a hearing for DMSO. The whole issue
has been submerged under a bureaucratic cloud.”
The Congressman’s efforts, and the efforts of other members of the United
States legislature, have paid off. Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) held a
Senate subcommittee hearing on the drug’s status at the FDA on July 31, 1980.
Congressman Claude Pepper (D-Fla.) chaired a hearing (under the title “DMSO:
New Hope for Arthritis?”) before the House Select Committee on Aging on March
24, 1980.Since those hearings, the Inspector General of the Department of Health and
Human Services has been conducting an investigation into the regulatory
procedure DMSO has undergone at the FDA.
Furthermore, some state legislatures have overridden the FDA ruling against
dispensing DMSO and altered state laws to allow its use by authorized health
professionals. Currently Texas, Washington, Montana, Oklahoma, Florida, Oregon,
Louisiana, and Nevada are the eight states in the nation that have authorized
prescribing the medication. Legalization of DMSO in Florida is another example of
the people rebelling against FDA regulations. The difference here was that the
legalization of DMSO in Florida was pushed by a legislator whose wife was
forced to travel to Mexico for DMSO treatments.
In 1977, the Florida legislature legalized the drug for intravenous,
intramuscular, oral, and topical human therapy. The Florida law reads:
Section 1. No hospital or health facility shall interfere with the physician-
patient relationship by restricting or forbidding the use of dimethyl
sulfoxide (DMSO) when prescribed or administered by a physician
licensed under chapter 458 or 459, Florida Statutes, and requested by a
patient unless the substance as prescribed or administered by the
physician is found to be harmful by the State Boards of Medical
Examiners and Osteopathic Medical Examiners in a hearing conducted
under the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act

There is tremendous choice in the world today.  Even greater
opportunities are coming in the expansive energies, pouring
into the atmosphere at a ra pid non-physical rate.
Whether people see, or don’t see, these energies, their effects
will show up steadily in their lives.  The veil between the
physical and non-physical is be coming paper thin in this
environment.  If those with on ly outer vision do not see the
non-physical, their experiences will undeniably call attention
/G0C/G01 /G06/G01/G02/G05/G06/G0C/G07/G0C/G2B physical.  There is less delay in manifestations now.
This will allow a more direct experience of transparency, even  if it cannot yet be “seen” by some.
Through experience, truth will set many free.  For out of
darkness, always, all will rise to the light.  Darkness, as we
have said, is a pure illusion.  Light is always light.  With light
as a foundation, even under co untless layers of darkness, there
will always be – light.
The concept of cosmic wealth, from a Source perspective, is
allowing the flow and experience of this Source light in as
many ways as possible in your lives.  You will find that the work of “attracting” does itself.   When people rise to their
natural buoyant, happy, infinite nature, the rest takes care
of itself.
You summon the physical desire through your intention to
have it.  Easy.  Yo u allow the physical desire through your
inner commitment to feel good and in the flow of Source energy.  That inner commitment  is the root of cosmic
prosperity, for it drives every choice, every day, and every
experience.
Those living in lack, in any area of their lives, simply indicate

Review your life experience.  The present one.  Allow the
surfacing of things an d inner experiences that do not feel good
to you.  Observe them.  That is a ll.  Take the next step toward
thinking an easier thought or f eeling, that aligns you with
truth, Source, and feeling good.  As it resurfaces in situations
a bit, find that easy feeling again.  Very soon – it will drop out
of your experience.  You no longer vibrationally match the
essence of pain.  Feeling good is a whole light filled vibration –  and it is a “cure” for other denser, competing vibrations.

The Source energy field is one that will likely not be
understood from a human lens for some time.  It is a concept
and truth of limitless belief, appreciation, and immense creative
power.  The way to understand it is  to relax into the experience
of it.  Knowing it is the same as believing it.  From its
experience, it becomes known to you,  and thus believed by you.
This is the chain of wealth we are talking about.  Allow your
experiences – so long as they feel good, and prosper you.
Feeling good is all the prosperi ty you need.  It vibrates belief,
truth, trust, abundance, allowing, and receiving.  Feeling good
is the simplest definition of Source energy that there is.

  we  have  been  fatally  bitten  by  the  serpent
herself. The  minds  and  bodies  of  the  fire  and  air  humans
throughout  the  planet  are  well  served  by  pure  milk.
But  no  one  will  be  served  by  milk  which  has  been
poisoned.  When  the  milk  flows  from  the  hills  today,
it  will  be  because  we  have  called  for  all  the  buckets  of
poisoned  milk  to  be  emptied.  The  call  will  be  to  free
all  the  animals  in  bondage  and  allow  them  to  graze
peacefully  for  their  remaining  time.  The  call  will  be  to
free  the  farmers  and  reinstate  their  dignity.  The  call
will  be  for  compassion  and  fraternity  in  a  new  time
when  the  rural  and  organic  land  rises  again  as  ani-
mals live  within  their  nature.  Then  we  can  hope  for
grace  and  peace  within  the  human  spirit.
A  Healing  Food
Although  I  cannot  give  an  accurate  date  of  the  first
usage  of  milk,  it  appears  to  have  preceded  the  Vedic
period.  The  Upanishads  and  most  religious  scriptures
on  earth  are  replete  with  mention  of  milk  as  a  food
for  humans.  Because  of  the  sattvic  nature  of  milk  in
its  original  state,  it  has  been  used  widely,  but  not
wisely,  through  the  ages.  There  have  been  many
changes  in  our  universe.  As  a  collective  species,  we  are
no  longer  in  the  state  of  infancy.  As  a  result,  the  use
of  milk  has  to  be  redefined.  The  Vedic  guidelines
advised  that  milk  should  never  be  used  with  foods
such  as  vegetables,  fish,  meat,  or  salt,  nor  should  it  be
used  with  meals  as  an  accompanying  beverage.  The
indications  have  also  been  specific:  Milk  is  used  to
cool  agni  (fire),  to  calm  the  mind,  to  feed  pregnant
women,  to  offer  in  devotion  to  the  Lord,  and  to  feed
babies.  It  helps  the  human  system  to  transmute  its
activity  and  aggression  into  remembrances  of  an
embryonic  universe  whose  motion  is  to  attain  libera-
tion and  eternal  love.
Milk  is  a  potent  nectar.  All  other  milks — from
grains,  beans,  dried  or  cooked  fruits,  and  nuts — mimic
the  nature  of  this  original  nectar.  As  a  teaspoon  of
honey  is  considered  the  healthy  average  per  day  for
each  person,  so  is  a  cup  of  pure,  organic  milk  per  day
the  proper  amount.  Milk  should  not  be  used  in  cook-
ing or  to  make  cheeses.  It  may  be  combined  with
dried  or  cooked  fruits  in  the  form  of  a  milk  drink  or
a  sweet  dessert.  It  should  not  be  excessively  boiled.  It

is  a  potion  best  drunk  cool  or  warm,  by  itself.  It
becomes  an  excellent  vehicle  for  medicines,  herbs,
and  spices.
My  reasons  for  defending  milk  as  an  important
food  are  not  to  encourage  its  use  in  quantity,  or  to
suggest  that  the  gruesome  liquid  that  is  commercially
available  is  an  acceptable  food.  Its  use  should  be  tai-
lored, in  keeping  with  the  original  intent  and  accord-
ing to  scriptural  authority.
We  need  the  memory  of  milk  in  our  bodies  in
order  to  maintain  a  sattvic,  or  peaceful,  nature  as
humans.  We  therefore  have  to  protect  the  animals
that  produce  this  potent  food.  The  earth  offers  us
soma,  symbolic  of  the  nectar  of  the  gods,  from  the
bark  of  the  maple  tree,  from  the  coconut,  from  the
fruit,  from  the  grain,  from  the  bee,  from  the  cow,
from  the  buffalo,  from  the  goat,  and  from  the  tiger.
We  cannot  serve  the  earth  with  grace  and  fullness  if
we  allow  the  cows  and  other  animals  to  become  de-
funct. If  we  curtail  their  instincts  and  throw  their
milk  away,  we  are  aiding  the  demise  of  one  of  earth's natural  functions.
The  recipes  in  this  book  contain  very  small  quan-
tities of  milk,  mostly  in  the  brews  and  beverages.  If
organic  milk  cannot  be  obtained,  do  not  use  com-
mercial milk.  Milk  from  nuts,  grains,  or  soybeans
may  be  substituted.  I  suggest  the  use  of  a  small  amount
of  ghee  in  cooking.  It  is  more  potent  than  milk  be-
cause of  its  transmutation  with  fire.  The  recipe  for
ghee  was  handed  down  by  the  gods  themselves  and  is
mostly  for  medicinal  use.  Remember,  though,  that  all
foods  in  Ayurveda  are  considered  medicinal.
Butter,  known  as  makhan,  should  not  be  used  for
cooking.  It  is  to  be  used  fresh  for  the  fortification  of
the  dhatus  during  the  cold  or  rainy  seasons,  and  espe-
cially by  Vata  and  Pitta  types.  Yogurt,  known  as  dadhi
or  dahi,  is  the  angel  of  health.  A  small  quantity  of  it
as  part  of  a  main  meal  activates  assimilation.  It  en-
courages the  growth  of  benign  lactobacillus  bacteria
in  the  intestines  and  helps  to  destroy  harmful  bacteria
in  the  system.  The  lactic  acid  content  aids  the  diges-
tion of  calcium  and  phosphorus  in  the  body.  Yogurt
may  be  sweetened  for  Pitta  types.  Vata  may  add  ap-
propriate spices  and  Kapha  may  use  occasionally,
adding  herbs  and  diluting  with  water.  Yogurt  serves  a different  purpose  than  pure  milk.  It  is  almost  fully
digested  in  the  system  within  an  hour.  We  cannot
blame  the  epidemic  of  yeast  infections,  Candida,  and
so  on,  on  the  use  of  pure  yogurt.  The  unwholesome
imitations  of  yogurt  now  widely  available  are  loaded
with  fillers,  gels,  gums,  and  cellulose,  that  destroy  the
original  benefits  of  yogurt.  Decades  of  use  of  these
unhealthy  products  have  created  havoc  in  the  internal
bodily  systems  of  the  entire  planet.  Lactose  malfunc-
tion and  yeast  malignancy  are  mostly  due  to  the  poi-
sons used  and  to  the


 was very comical to see it. And of course,
people who are really quite wealthy and have been for some time, live very
simple lives save for public events and parties.
I knew lots of multimillionaires, and very often they would inherit a big
estate—40 acres with a huge castle of a house and all these buildings—and
when I went to visit them, they actually lived in one of the servant’ s houses.
There’ s a little house out there, and that’s where they lived. The richest
people in America! I used to live next door to one, and he had a third story
on his house. And I said, “Wha t’s up there?” He said, “I don’t know, I’ve
never been up there.” They would usually stay put in two or three rooms in
this giant house, the family estate, and there’d be a kitchen, a sitting room,and a bedroom. And that’s where they lived 99 percent of the time, except
when their great-niece was there and having a birthday party. And then they
would have a party on the lawn, but they lived all the time in just a little
corner of the house.
What are you going to do on the third floor with 5,000 feet of
magnificent furniture and you? You and 5,000 feet of antiqu e, beautiful
furniture with a wonderful view... once you have looked out the window
and seen the beautiful view, now what are you going to do? You go back
downstairs to the kitchen and watch the TV, put your feet up, and put some
wood in the stove, the same as the servants do. It’ s comical.
PARANORMAL REALMS AND DIMENSIONS
Straight and narrow is the path. You can spend quite a few lifetimes
wandering through the fantasy world of psychics and channelers and people
like this, the world of tarot cards and tea leaf readings. They are usually a
dead end. Some entity on the other side tells you about a whole other
dimension. Next thing you know, you’re all involved in that dimension. A
lot of them have gods with a weird name and various hierarchies. And a lot
of times, for additional money, they will move you up to a different, higher
level of anarchy. For another $5,000, they’ll introduce you to master so-
and-so on a dif ferent level, who will now give you some magical powers.
The whole thing is seductive. What’ s being seduced is the innocent
curiosity of the child. For $5,000, they’ll raise your level of consciousness a
hundred points an hour. For $50,000, they guarantee you’ll be enlightened
in six weeks. I suppose people like to send them money because they’re still
there. When you first realize that there’ s something other than just logic in
the phenomenal world, the child in you goes, “Oh, wow.”
I’m not saying the paranormal doesn’ t exist, but scripture says not to go
there. Why? Because you’re dealing in other realms, and you have no
education or sophistication or awareness of the rules and the laws of those
realms.
The angels fear to tread there. Why wouldn’ t you? It’s morbid curiosity.
You want to check out hell? You’re not going to check out hell without
getting burned. I advise people, don’t go there. Don’ t be tempted by the
drama of it. If you got to climb the highest mountain, make note of the fact
that 176 people have died there already doing it. You can do the same thing.You can go out of body and visit other dimensions. You are not equipped to
go there. You don’t know anything about who’ s who there, and you’re an
innocent victim the minute you arrive. Tarot cards, Ouija boards, psychic
readings, throwing runes are all forms of magic. The child in us is entranced
by the magic.
I tell people not to try to calibrate low energies. You’ll get attracted to
that which is evil and demonic, and start trying to calibrate it, because your
pendulum is going to get hit by that energy. And one of your energy fields
and chakras can get reversed, by the way. Don’ t play around with it. The
pendulum is not a game, and as with any kind of divination, it shouldn’ t be
done for the sport. Many people play with divination and we never hear
from them again. I don’t recom mend it to people because it means they
have to have some curiosity that is so hypothetical, it has nothing to do with
their own spiritu al destination. In other words, you’re just askin g out of idle
curiosity. And often you’re playing with very negative energies when
you’re doing that. You’re trying to flirt with the negative and think you
won’ t get burned. That’ s not going to happen. I know a lot of people who
dealt with pendulums, started checking out other dimension s, and they
really blew up and even became psychotic.
Many of these psychics over time turn out to be false. There’ s one locally
that does all the things that are so typical of a cult. He tells people how to
live, gets them bonded to him, tells them about their sex life. He makes
them turn all of their money over to him. And one thing about these cult
leaders you’ll notice is that sex is forbidden to all the follower s, but not to
the cult leader. Well, of course, he’s entitled to go to bed with anybody he
wishes to, and then cite some entity on the other side. The fallacy of the
whole thing is so transparent to a sophisticated person, but the person who
gets entrapped into it, their inner child gets brainwashed by all this mumbo
jumbo. And of course, we look at Jonestown as an example and wonder,
how could a thousand sane adult s commit suicide all at the same time? How
could that be?
Cults, you see, are dangerou s because they have the capacity to
brainwash peopl e. A teacher should free you, not bind you. You should not
be boun d by the teacher. On the contrary, you should be freed by the
teacher. You owe nothing to a teacher whatsoever, except to be polite and
listen if you wish. You’re not in bondage, you don’t owe, you’re not
obligated. A true teacher doesn’ t try to control you or get you to turn overyour financial assets to them. The other thing false teachers do is theatrics,
by which I mean  putting on great displays with fancy robes and entourages
and great wonders, buildings and all, to impress you with their importance.
The other thing  they try to impress you with is the number of followers.
They have 10 million followers in India or something like that.
I calibrate the guy with 10 million followers, and he comes out at 140.
So, we’re a bit like lemmings being led over the cliff. Adolf Hitler had 40
million adoring followers too, and he calibrated at 90 and almost destroyed
Germany and most of Europe! The fact that somebody has lots of followers
doesn’ t mean a single thing whatsoever. Plus, some teachers start out
integrous, reach  a high place, and then fall. That is another innocence that
the innocent person doesn’ t realize; that he was calibrated 570, but he’ s now
at 190.
I always teach students that sooner or later, you’re going to become a
teacher. And each of the levels of consciousness has its downside and its
traps. Once you become a teacher, there’ s this seduction  of being
glamorized; of being idolized; of people saying that they love you; of
sexual seduction ; and of the attraction of money, fame, and power over
many people. Therefore, many are the gurus who began to ascend the path
and then crashed. Half a dozen or more on TV or the Internet. They were at
a high place at one point.
I believe  a teacher should teach students that when you reach a certain
level of consciousness, these are the temptations that you will be presented
with. Don’t forget the Buddha was beset by demons. And peopl e think, Oh,
they’r e going to come in the form of evil demons. Except they’re not going
to come  in the form of evil demons; they’re going to come in the form of
seductions, sweet adoringness: Oh, master!
So that’s the dramatization. I’m not saying that there isn’t a lot to it.
Scripture says it doesn’ t invalidate the paranormal; it just says, “Don’ t go
there.” You can have a couple of readings and become entranced. And then
suddenly their readings go off, and some of the readings suddenly go
wrong. So all those things, they’re only tentative. And they’re only
transitory spiritual fiction, because then the reality seems mundane and
pedestrian as compared to the magical wonderment or the tarot card reading
or whatever. I think it’s the wrong direction. And here the error is to fall for
the seduction; that it is a quality  or a power of your personal self, which it isnot. The phenom ena happen of their own accord. There is no personal self


 hinders gastric (stomach) digestion. It lessens the amount of gastric juice secreted. It keeps the enzymes from attacking the food by
encasing the food particles. Fat also lowers  the amount of pepsin and hydrochloric
acid in the gastric juice.
   5. Do not eat acid foods and protein at the same meal. For example, oranges,
tomatoes, lemons, pineapple, grapefruit, etc., should not be eaten with meat, cheese,
eggs, nuts, etc. These acids, instead of assisting in protein digestion as many people
erroneously think, actually retard protein di gestion and this results in putrefaction,
since an unhampered flow of gastric juices is imperatively demanded by protein
foods. Even vinegar used on salads serves as a check to hydrochloric acid secretion and this interferes with protein digestion, because hydrochloric acid activates pepsin.
The two exceptions to this rule would be the use of cheese and nuts with the acid
foods because these foods contain enough fat to inhibit gastric secretion for a longer
time than do acids. Also; these two foods do not decompose as quickly as other protein foods when they are not immediately digested.
   The simple fact is that the less co mplex our food mixtures and the simpler our
meals, then the more efficient may we expect digestion to be. There have been so many people who have not changed their way of life or diet, but just observed the
proper food combining rules and have noticed remarkable improvement in their digestion, in their health, and general well-being.
   Actually it is not ideal to eat the easily digested foods such as the fruits with the
more concentrated and heavy proteins, beca use the fruits are held up during digestion
of protein in the stomach. This can tie up the fruit in the stomach for a number of
hours, during which time the fruit decomposes and causes much gas and discomfort.
It is better to eat the fruit first, wait maybe 15 minutes or so and then eat the
concentrated, heavier protein food. In fact, as a general rule one should eat the less
concentrated food such as fruit or vegetabl es first, and the concentrated foods of
starches and protein last.
   6. Ideally, melons and all the other countless fruits and berries should be eaten at a
fruit meal alone--nothing else, just the fruit. Many people say they can't eat melons or
whatever fruit because they get gas and feel bloated. Well one of the greatest dietetic
sins these people commit is the eating of these melons, etc., as a cool, refreshing
dessert after a "hearty" meal. This fruit has to rot and decompose while it is held up in
the stomach waiting for all of, this other digestion to take place. Never eat fruit as a
dessert.
   7. Don't eat sugars and proteins at the same meal. These hinder protein digestion in
the stomach because all sugars (commercial sugar, honey, sweet fruits such as dates,
figs, etc.) have an inhibiting effect on the secretion of gastric juice and upon motility
of the stomach. If sugars are eaten alone, they pass quickly into the intestine, but
when eaten with other foods (proteins and starches), they are held up in the stomach
for a prolonged period awaiting digestion of the other foods, and so they undergo
decomposition.
   8. Do not eat starches and sugars toge ther at the same meal. This means breads,
cereals, potatoes, rice, pastries, etc., with  jams or jellies, syrup, sugared products,
honey, etc. All sugars are readily dispatched from the stomach, but if eaten with other foods, such as the starches, they are held up in the stomach while awaiting the starch
digestion and this causes decomposition of the sugar, with formation of gas and bloating. Most important is the fact that when sugars and starches are taken into the
mouth, the mouth fills with saliva, but it doesn't contain the enzyme ptyalin because
ptyalin does not act on sugars; or the saliva may contain very little ptyalin insuring
that starch digestion will either not take place or will be interfered with, causing gas, bloating, and toxic products. One of the worst abominations is pancakes and syrup.
   I'm sure most of you know that full, bloated, and gassy feeling after eating a large
meal that violates the principles of proper food combining. Very few people go away from the table feeling comfortable. In fact, most people get that tired, heavy, sluggish
feeling that makes them' drowsy af ter a "graciously" prepared meal.
   9. Eat but one concentrated starch food at a meal. This is not because there is any
conflict in the digestion of these foods, but because taking two or more concentrated
starches at a meal is practically certain to lead to overeating of these foods, which
usually leads to decomposition with its toxic end products.
   The following classification of foods will make it easier to understand and use the
principles of food combining that have been presented. The lists are by no means
complete, but should be sufficient as a base from which to begin. From your reading, you know which foods to use and you know which foods not to use. You know which
foods will build health and which foods will not; therefore, the list will not contain
any "junk" foods. There will be a few foods not hygienic, but these will be used for clarification, although some may use them occasionally, particularly those who feel
they cannot change their habits too quickly and must go through a transition period. Many foods contain both protein and carbohydrate.

PROTEINS
   Every food contains protein, but what is  meant here are those foods which contain a
high percentage of protein, such as:
   Nuts--peanuts (legume), filberts, almonds, cashews, pecans, English walnuts, Brazil
nuts, pistachios, pignolias, These are eaten unroasted and unsalted. Some people
prefer to soak them overnight for possible easier digestion. Others may not be able to
chew properly, so they use their blender to make a nut butter.
   Seeds--sunflower, pumpkin, and sesame. Eaten unroasted and unsalted.
   Soybeans, lentils, dried baby lima beans, dried peas, cheese, flesh foods, eggs, meat,
milk. CARBOHYDRATES
   These are the starches and sugars, broken down as follows:    Starches--potatoes, rice (whole grain), Hubbard squash, Jerusalem artichokes,
cereals, beans, peas, corn (over one or two days old), pumpkin, millet, barley,
buckwheat groats.
   Mild starches--cauliflower, beets, carrots, rutabaga.
   Sugars--brown sugar, white sugar, maple syrup, cane syrup, honey.    Sweet fruits--these are carbohydrates, but will be classified in the fruit category.
FATS
   Olive oil, soy oil, sunflower seed oil, sesame oil, nut oils (should be unprocessed

   The following are a few


 relati ng to pain and illness, but they may inspire
in other ways.
Karate chop:  I choose to feel really good. I really love and accept
myself. Love and forgive myself. Choose to feel physically great.
Vibrant health and well-being are my birthright. And there’ s some stuff
getting in the way, and I choose to let that go. I choose to feel really
good, and I deep ly and completely love, and forgive and accept myself.
Tapping on the points starting with the top of the head and moving
down through all the points—one phrase, one point: I am grateful,
body, for all the ways you keep me going. (Maybe less is more here):
You keep me going, you breathe without my even reminding you,
digest all my food and send it around to where it’s needed, tell me
when I need to rest.
Truly, my body is a work of art, a miracle, and I am grateful to have
life in a body, and everything that means to me. I love my body— or
I’d like to! I am grateful to my body for all the ways and all the times it
has carried and supported me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Repeat this exercise anytime you need a boost.
In Conclusion
Now you have some great tools to begin tapping on the physic al, whether
you’re recoverin g from an acute  injury, the common cold, from an accident,
or navigating life with a serious illness. In the next chapter we address how
to put phobias in their place, which is no place in your body or mind.

Neutralizing Phobias
After being assaulted by a would-be purse-snatcher in the parking lot of a
local grocery store, Eliana was dragged nearly 75 feet. Her injuries were
painful, but as Eliana said, “Far worse was the fear that overtook me. At
first I wasn’ t even aware of it, but a few days after the event, I realized I
was in trouble.”
Eliana began to imagine being attacked everywhere she went. She tried
talk therapy for several months but it didn’ t seem to help. “I could hardly
step outside the door to feed the cat because I feared another attack.”
About nine months after the attack, she learned about EFT. “I started
tapping and within ten minutes, the fear was gone! The contrast between the
long hours of talk therapy that did little for me and the swift resolution from
EFT was astonishing. I then used EFT on the residual pain from my
injuries. EFT was more effective than the prescription painkiller my doctor
had ordered.”
Eliana’ s fast phobic resolution is not uncommon. As is the case with her
example, some phobic response s can be traced to one event. The phobias
resolve quite quickly as a result and are called “one-minute wonders” in the
EFT world.
When your reaction to a stimulus is disproportionate to the actual danger
posed and you’ll go to extreme lengths to avoid your fear target, that’s a
phobia. Using EFT to eliminate phobic responses or panic has been quite
effective in my own personal and professional lives. In my professional
practice, young children have released phobias that include fear of tornados,
school, speaking up in class, and even fear of bowel movements after
diarrhea. Adults  have cleared phobias that include fear of public speaking,social anxiety, elevators, dentists, doctors, heights, water, driving, airplane
travel, stairs and escalators, insects and snakes, and claustrophobia.
Tapping doesn’ t remove your notions of safety and common sense. It
resolves the energy disruption at the heart of your mind-body’ s excessive
response to the specific stimulus causing you to involuntarily overreact.
More than 11 percent of people will have a phobia at some point in their
lives.24 The percentage is likely higher, as those with phobias often keep
their problem a secret, reporting privately that they are ashamed.
How Do Phobias Start?
At the heart of your fear response is a disruption in your body’s energy
system. Recall the Discovery Statement from Chapter 1: “The cause of all
negative emotio ns is a disruptio n in the body’ s energy system.”  In the case
of phobia, something you experienced hurt or scared you. You experienced
an energy disruption, according to EFT. Your “primitive” brain took control
to keep you safe from danger. Your phobic reaction alert is ongo ing in your
remarkable limbic brain, whose amazing memory cache is much like RAM
on your computer. That is, the mind  will keep reacting to the original threat
in the same way until you are able to resolve the energy disrupti on from the
initial trauma. This is why each time you come in contact with or anywhere
near the fearful target, your protector and survival-focused brain is saying,
“Danger! Dange r! Stay away!” That’ s why you haven’ t been  able to do
anything—until today.
It might be useful for you to tap while you read. You can try tapping
continuously on the fingertip points, starting with the tip of the thumb,
index finger, third finger, and pinkie. Or tap the gamut point, between the
ring and pinkie on the top of the hand just behind the knuckle s. Why not
move that life force right on through?
People with phobias can’t imagine coming into contact with their fear-
object, let alone resolving the phobia itself. With EFT, you are in control of
just how far you’ll go toward resolving your phobia. You stop as soon as
you experience a bit of discomfort and tap.You know by now that when you get specific about the events and the
aspects underneath them, you will access the actual emotional and
experiential contributors sustaining the phobic response. Apply the EFT
basic recipe one round at a time to each individual aspect of your fear.
What if you don’t remember how and when the big fear started? Your
subconscious will do the work, accessing the deeper specific feelings and
issues under the phobia. If you need to know how the phobia  started, the
event will come to mind, with patience. If you don’t need to know, you
won’ t know how it started, but you will still neutralize your phobia. You
can use the stimulus itself as your tar get. Either way, it works.
Case Study: Fear of Flying Neutralized
Ali had a fear of flying for as long as she could remember. She said, “In
college, when my parents offered to send airfare for me to fly the five
hundred miles home on a 45-mi nute plane trip, I chose the 8-hour bus ride.
I didn’t want to get on a small plane. I didn’ t want to die that way. That’s
how scared I was.”
As she regularly  had to travel overseas for her work and to visit friends
and family, flying was as much of a trauma for her flight-mates as it was for
her! As Ali explained it, she was a terrible person to sit next to. She
wouldn’ t get up during the flight. She white-knuckled from clenching so
tight, had vision s of crashing the entire time the plane was in the air, and
turbulence compelled her to grab the person next to her, stranger or not.
Things came to a head when Ali received notice from her work that in
five weeks her job would require  her to fly to four different destinations in a
two-week time span. Having recently learned EFT she thought: “This is
going to be okay. I’m going to tap on this.”
At the time she was involved in an online tapping group, so she
announced to the group her intentions, gathering support. She had five
weeks to resolve this lifelong phobia. She started like so: “Even though just
thinking about this upcoming flight I feel panic, I deeply and completely
accept myself.”Then she tapped several times daily whenever she thought of the
upcoming trips, on every single specific aspect that came up: “Even though
I can’t breathe, there’ s
