 the effect that AIDS is not
a viral disease was not enough. Scie ntific re asons which point in another direction should have accompanied the
negation of HIV as the cause of the disease. I wrote to Dr. Manfred Eigen, a most eminent DNA research scientist from Max-Pl anck Institute in Germany, o n 25
September 1989, and in defense of Duesberg sent him two of my articles presenting most of the views that wer e
published in the Foundation's Special AIDS Issue. Dr. Eigen had published an account of discussions between
AIDS v irus advocates and Duesberg in Natur Weiss enschafen. It seems Dr. Eigen was not convinced by Professor
Duesberg's views and had taken the side of the opposition. A few months later, Dr. Eigen sent me a letter that
showed he now re alized another plausible scientific view on the cause of AIDS d oes exist. Now, all of a sudden in 1992, a new surge of activity with an alternative view of AIDS had gathered momentum with
both Professors Montagnier and Duesberg as leaders in the field. In 1989,1 had sent these researchers a copy of our Special AIDS Issue of Science In Medicine Simplified (SMS)
from the Foundation for the Simple in Med icine (references 74 and 75), in the same way the Foundation freely
shares its views with most top researchers (a copy of the letter to Manfred Eigen was also sent to Professor
Duesberg). This special AIDS v olume was also sent to many medical libraries at universities engaged in AIDS
research. The detailed articles presented scientific explanations from which a synopsis has been given in the
preceding paragraphs. In my article on the neurotransmitter histamine, first presented briefly at the 3rd Interscience World Conference on
Inflammation in 1989, and later published in 1990,1 also explained the immune suppressive actions of many of the
chemical agents that are generated as a result of stress in the human body. In this extensively distributed article, I
discussed some aspects o f AIDS a s a severe stress-induced "system disturbance," opposing the current view that it
is caused by a single particle, a virus. This issue of SMS was also extensively distributed. Copies of the 1989 Special AIDS I ssue and 1990 issue of SMS
were also sent to Professor Philippe Lazar, the Director General of IINSERM  in France. INSERM  is the French
equivalent of the NIH in America. He was aske d to make the information contained in these issues of SMS available
to other interested scientists a t INSERM. My research was progressing at the same time as new information on the critical roles of cysteine in the
manufacture of some DNA m aterials became available and published. It became completely clear and obvious to
me that AIDS w as a metabolic disorder, and the DNA/ RNA f ragments cla ssified as the different viruses o f AIDS
were themselves a product of cysteine shortage in the body. With infinitely more detail than has been presented in this section, my m ost recent article, "AIDS:  The Dead-End of
Virus Etiology" was p ublished in the 1991 issue of SMS and distributed to many other scie ntists e ngaged in this field
of research. It is a moral obligation of any dedicated scientist to share his or her new in formation with others engaged in the
research of a common topic, even before the subject is presented in scientific jou rnals. It is also a moral obligation
of those who receive the information to give credit to the person who  has generated and shared the information. A news headline in Le Mo nde of 9 August 1991 re flected a hea ted fight between  Bruno Durie ux, the Min ister of
Health of France and Professor Albert German, President of the National Aca demy of Pharmacy of France. The
minister had demanded the dismissal of the professor. The professor had, in an address, given the opinion that
AIDS is caused as a result of a particular life style. The professor's opinion had become a hot issue among the
different social groups. Thus the wrath of the minister and the demand for his dismissal. No occasion lends itself
better to the introduction of an explosive opinion than adding it as fuel to an already established quarrel. The letter
printed in the next page was sent to M. Br uno Durieux, Minister of He alth of France, with a copy to Professor
German. A MEDICAL RESEARCH I NSTITUTION

Excel lence,
I have been exposed to the topic of your discussion about the views of Professor Albert German on AIDS, r eflected
in Le Monde, 9 August 1991. I thought it my responsibility to bring to your attention the final result of our very
extensive research into the etiology of AIDS. Our research seems to produce physiologic / metabolic explanations
that support the views o f professor German. I have pleasure in enclosing a copy of our recent article, "AIDS: T he
Dead-End of Virus Et iology." The article explains details that have been ignored by those who wish to force asolution to the problem through viral research - a total waste of public funds. Yo u are welcome to have the article
photocopied and reviewed by any numbe r of your scientists who do not demonstrate a blind bias toward viral
research. If more information is needed, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely,
R Batmanghelidj, M.D. Enclosure: Article, AIDS: T he Dead-End of Virus Etiology. Copy, Professor Albert German. I sincerely hope that the free sharing of my researched views on AIDS h as in some way been instrumental in getting
others to think about the relationship of this disease condition to an abnormal physiology that becomes ultimately
established as a result of "stresses associa ted with a particular life style," or "severe malnutrition in less fortunate
societies." The children in Romania that were the subject of many te levision programs m ost probably did not get
AIDS from blood contamination; they more than likely developed AIDS a s a result of malnutrition. Another point that needs to be discussed is the value of the AIDS test as an indicator of a disease in the process of
development. Although everyone is led to believe this, it is in my opinion an erroneous representation of a different
truth. All this test sh ows is that the body has com e across this antigenic particle and has registered its str ucture. It
also means the body has kept the existence of this particle/virus in its memory-bank to manufacture a defense
mechanism against the "foreign particle," not necessar ily a particle from outside, but a particle that the body itself
should not make—a form of quality con trol at the "DNA a ssembly line." Thi s test is ultimately an indicator of a body's
amino acid metabolism disturbance, and not an indicator of a loose killer virus in the body. The number of test
positive cases who become HIV negative are too many to be ignored. It has been shown in laboratory experiments that if cysteine is added to a culture medium that is growing cells for
virus production, these cells will not manufacture the "virus." In a medium with sufficient cysteine, it will not be
possible to harvest the virus. This test presents the most clear conclusion that the AIDS test is only an indicator of
an on-going amino acid imbalance in the body. It is important to remember that if the level of one amino acid in the
body is not enough, then a drastic imbalance in the percentage composition of the other amino acids also will exist. These new ideas on AIDS a re presented to the readers of this book to indicate that a metabolic approach to dealing
with this social problem will produce more satisfactory and quicker results.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        By the time of her wed ding in Octo ber 1994, she had lost over
40 pounds. This science-based way o f weight loss w ill be permanent, whereas with only food limitation, even if some weight is
lost, it is regained in a short period of time. Worse still, one is constantly hounded by the fallacy of needing to limit
this or that food, particularly on the subject of cho lesterol content of food, a temporary present-day vogue. Do not be
shocked. Contrary to present trends for exclusion of eggs from daily diet, I eat as many eggs as I feel like eating—
no limitation wha tsoever; eggs have a well-balanced protein content. I also happen to understand how excess
cholesterol formation in the body is associated with prolonged dehydration. Priscilla Preston's letter on the next page further explains the relationship of dehydration, not only to weight gain, but
to the more devastating problem of asthma, the subject of the next chapter. In taking steps to prevent asthma, she
managed to lose 35 pounds. An other important point in her letter is the role of sal t in disease prevention. Salt is
important to the body. Salt sensors on the tongue, whe n strongly stimulated, remove the body's anxiety and stop it
from panicking for water. When salt is available, the body is


 I now had two driving forces awaken inside regarding
this new ly foun d voice in my head. One was the desire to
shut it up and the other was the pure fascination and
yearning to understand what  that voice was and where it
came from.I me ntioned that prior to this  inner awakening, my life
was pretty ordinary. I only say that in comparison to
what m y life became. I became a driven human being. I
wanted to know about the vo ice I had discovered, and I
wanted to know who I was—the one inside experiencing
all o f th is. I began to spend h ours on end in the graduate
school l ibrary. But I was not in the economics section; I
was in the psy chology section. There was no way that
others had not noticed this vo ice talking inside. It was so
prevalent that you couldn’t miss it. I scanned through
Freud trying to find the answers to my questions. I read
book after book, but I found  no direct reference to the
voice talking inside—not to mention any reference to the
one who is aware that the voice is talking. In thos e days, I would talk about the voice to anyone
who would listen. They all must have thought I was
crazy. I remember one encounter with my very reserved,
highly c ultured Spanish professor. I ran into him one day
between classes and excitedl y told him that I had come
to u nderstand what it meant to be fluent in a language. I
explained to him that there was this voice inside your
head th at talks  to you about virtually everything—what
you like  and dislike, what you’re supposed to be doing
right now, and what you’ve done wrong in the past. If
that inner voice could speak in Spanish and you
immediately understood what it was saying, then you
were fluent in Spanish. If, however, the Spanish words
made no sense to you until you did the mental work of
translating them so that the voice would repeat them in
English, then you were not fluent in Spanish. It made
perfect sense—to me. I told him that if I were majoring in
language studies, I would do my doctoral dissertation on
that premise. Needless to say, my Spanish professor gave
me a very odd look, said something very polite, and went
on his way. I d idn’t  care what he thought. I was on an exploration,
a journey of learning beyond anything I could haveimagined. Every day I was learning so much about
myself. I couldn’t believe the amount of self-
consciousness and fear bein g expressed through that
voice. I t was so obvious that  the person I was watching
inside c ared a great deal about what people thought of
him. This was especially true  of people I knew well. The
voice told me what to say  and what not to say. It
complained inc essantly when  something was not the way
it wanted. If a conversation w ith a friend en ded with the
slightest discord or disagreement, the conversation
would k eep going on inside m y head. I would watch the
voice wishfully  imagine how t he conversation could have
ended on a dif ferent note. I could see how much fear of
rejection and nonacceptance were being expressed
through that mental dialogu e. It was overwhelming at
times, b ut I never lost the perspective of watching a voice
talking inside. It was obvi ous it wasn’t me; it was
something I was watching. Imagine if you woke up one  day and a cacophony of
noise was all a round you. You wanted it to stop, but you
had no idea how to stop it. That is the effect the voice
was hav ing on me. One thing was perfectly clear: that
voice had always talked befor e. But I had been so lost in
it th at I  never noticed it as se parate from me. It was like
a fish not know ing it is in water until it gets out. One leap
into the  air and the fish instantly realizes, “There’s a
body of  water down there, an d that is where I’ve always
been. But now I see that I can get out.”
I did n’t like the voice of the m ind talking all the time. It was just like an irritating n oise that I really wanted to
stop. Bu t it didn’t. For now I w as stuck with it. As it turns
out, however, I had not yet begun to fight.3. T h e  P i l l a r s  o f  Z e n
M onths w ent by and I was still on my own with my inner
exploration. L ittle did I know that help was about to
arrive unexpectedly. I had a classma te in my doctoral program named Mark
Waldman. He  was a bright  young man and an avid
reader on a broad range of subjects. Like everyone else,
Mark had heard me talking about my interest in the
voice. O ne day he brought m e a book he thought might
help. The book was entitled  Three Pillars of Zen,  by
Philip Kapleau. I knew absolutely nothing about Zen Buddhism. I was
an intellectual who didn’t give religious matters a second
thought. I was brought up Je wish, but not very much so. By the time I r eached college, religion played no part in
my life. If yo u had asked me if I was an atheist, I
probably would  have given you a blank stare. I had never
even thought about it. I s tarted  leafing through the pages of the book on Zen,
and within minutes it became evident: this book was
about that voice. My heart practically stopped. I had
trouble breathing. This book was clearly about how to
stop that voice from talking. Passage after passage spoke
about quieting the mind. It used terms like the True Self
behind the mind. There was  no doubt that I had found
what I’d been looking for. I knew there had to be others
who had gained the perspecti ve of watching that voice of
the mind instead of identify ing with it. Not only was
there an entire legacy of kno wledge spanning thousands
of y ears that d ealt with the voice, but this book clearlydiscussed “getting out.” It talked about freeing yourself
from the hold of the mind. It talked about going beyond. Needless to say, I was in awe. I felt a reverence for this
book th at I had never felt fo r anything in my life. I had
been forced to read and study  so many books in school. I
now ha d in my hands a book that answered some real
questions for me, like who a m I that watches that voice
talk. These were questions that I passionately wanted to
know the answers to. Truth is, it was way beyond want. I
needed  to know these answers—tha t voice was driving
me crazy! What Three P illars o f Zen  had to say was very clear
and unequivocal. It said to stop reading, talking, and
thinking about your mind, and just do the work
necessary to quiet it down. The required work was
equally unambiguous—meditate. Before I even knew about meditation, I had tried
sitting alone in order to make  the voice stop talking. But
that ha d never worked for me. With this book, I was
presented a tried-and-true method that had worked for
thousands of others. Simply  sit down in a quiet spot,
watch your breath go in and o ut, and mentally repeat the
sound Mu. That’s it. Now do that for an ever-increasing
length of time each day. In  Zen, the real work was
generally done in a group setting called a sessin. In
traditional sett ings, a trained person would walk around
with a kyosaku  stick. If you st arted to sleep or lost focus
in a nother manner, you would get a smack on your
shoulders with the stick. Zen was strict; there was no
playing around. This form of Zen was serious work. I didn’t have a group or a teacher. All I had was the
book an d a very sincere yearn ing to see if these practices
would t ake me  where I want ed to go. So I started to do
Zen me ditation on my own. At least it was my best
understanding of what Zen meditation is. At first I sat for
fifteen or twenty minutes eac h day. Within a week I built
that to half an hour, twice a day. There were no fireworksor deep experiences. But concentrating on my breath and
the mantra was definitely di verting my awareness from
the incessant chatter of the v oice. If I made the mental
voice say Mu,  it couldn’t say all the crazy personal things
it usually said. I quickly bega n to like the practice. I
looked forward  to the times I had put aside during the
day for meditation. I w as no more  than a few weeks into my experiment
with Zen meditation when Sh elly and I decided to go on
a ca mping trip. We were joined by four friends, and
together we drove our vans into Ocala National Forest
for the weekend. I had a VW

Further	stilling	the	mind

Meditation	is	the	simply	stilling
and	relaxing	the	mind

Focusing	on	the	breath,	feeling
the	inner	body	and	occupying
the	sense	is	meditation.Connect	with	the	inner	body
P
lacing	attention	on	the	inner	body	is	a	truly	wonderful	thing	to	do. Western
man	rarely	places	attention	on	the	inner	body	unless	he	is	in	pain. Seldom
does	he	have	his	attention	on	the	body	when	it	is	free	from	pain. Seldom	does
he	experience	the	vibration	of	energy	that	resonates	there. The	body	is	your
connection	with	life	itself. Your	body	is	life. If	you	have	never	placed	attention	on	your	body	before,	start	off	slowly. If
you	have	already	been	following	and	reducing	your	breath,	you	will	find	this
relatively	easy	to	do. Close	your	eyes	and	bring	attention	to	one	of	your	hands. Feel	your	hand	from
within. Stay	with	the	energy	field	of	your	hand	for	a	little	while. When	you
have	a	good	feeling	of	the	inner	energy	field	of	your	hand,	move	your
attention	to	include	your	arm. Now	feel	the	energy	field	of	your	hand	and	arm
together. Don’t	analyze	or	think	about	it,	just	feel	it. Next,	bring	attention	to	your	chest	and	feel	it	from	within	for	a	couple	of
minutes. Then	bring	attention	to	your	stomach. Feel	whether	there	is	any
tension	here. If	your	stomach	is	tense,	imagine	it	gradually	relaxing. Feel	the
area	around	your	tummy	relaxing	by	itself. Feel	the	tension	dissolving. The
more	active	your	mind,	the	greater	the	tendency	for	your	stomach	to	be	in	a
knot. Relax	this	area	using	your	imagination. Now	feel	the	energy	field	of	both	hands,	both	arms,	your	chest	and	your
tummy	at	the	same	time. Keep	your	attention	there. Your	body	will	rejoice	in
the	attention	that	you	are	giving	it. As	long	as	your	attention	is	on	your	body,
it	is	not	on	your	mind. The	incessant	thought	activity	of	your	mind	has
stopped.When	you	are	focusing	on	reducing
your	breathing,	you	are	out	of	your
mind. You	are	giving	your	chatter
a	rest. Wonderful! When	you	have	attention	on	your	inner
body,	you	are	out	of	your	mind. You	are	taking	back	ownership
of	your	mind. When	your	complete	attention	is	on
your	senses,	you	are	out	of	your	mind. You	did	this	naturally	as	a	child.You	cannot	have	complete	attention	on	your	inner	body	and	at	the	same	time
have	mental	noise. With	a	little	practise,	you	will	be	able	to	feel	your	entire
body	from	head	to	toe. During	the	day	as	you	do	go	about	your	daily	affairs,	bring	attention	to	your
breathing	and	your	inner	body. As	you	drive	your	car,	have	70%	of	your
attention	on	driving	and	30%	in	your	inner	body. As	you	walk,	feel	your	body
relax	throughout. As	you	watch	TV,	don’t	surrender	all	of	your	attention	to	the	TV,	but	immerse
yourself	in	your	inner	body. If	there	is	confrontation	on	TV,	bring	attention
immediately	to	your	inner	body. Don’t	become	absorbed	with	the	tension,
stress,	anger	and	fighting	that	takes	place	on	popular	soap	operas. Better	still,
don’t	watch	them	at	all. The	popularity	of	such	soaps	is	an	indication	of	our
mad	world. As	you	relate	to	your	children,	friends,	family	or	any	person,
listen	to	them	with	your	entire	body. Feel	your	body	as	you	listen. This	is	real
listening. As	you	brush	your	teeth,	feel	your	inner	body. As	you	sit	on	the	toilet,	feel
your	inner	body. As	you	queue	up	at	the	post	office,	feel	your	inner	body. If
you	are	stressed,	feel	your	inner	body. As	you	do	a	boring	job,	take	attention
into	your	body	and	don’t	just	think	about	how	much	you	hate	your	job. As
you	walk,	feel	your	inner	body. As	you	empty	the	dishwasher,	feel	your	inner
body. As	you	eat,	taste	the	food	and	feel	your	inner	body. Stay	in	your	body. As	you
lie	in	bed	at	night,	feel	your	inner	body. This	is	not	just	something	that	you	do
every	now	and	again. This	is	something	that	you	reside	in	permanently. Every
minute,	every	hour,	every	day,	take	attention	out	of	your	head	and	your	story
and	merge	yourself	with	the	body. You	still	have	use	of	your	mind	whenever	you	need	it	for	a	practical	situation. However,	you	will	have	reduced	the	meaningless	and	devastating	habit	of
repetitive	thinking. The	inner	body	has	and		intelligence	far	greater	than	just	a
collection	of	thoughts. Merge	with	that	intelligence. Don’t	avoid	it	all	the	time
by	living	in	your	head. As	long	as	attention	is	on	your	inner	body,	your	mind	is	calm. If	for	a	moment
you	forget	about	keeping	attention	on	your	inner	body,	then	you	are	back	in
your	mind. This	will	happen	quite	often	at	the	start. Don’t	start	giving	out	toyourself	if	you	find	it	difficult	to	place	your	attention	on	your	inner	body	for
more	than	a	few	minutes. This	is	your	mind’s	habit. To	change	this	habit,	keep
bringing	attention	to	your	inner	body. If	your	mind	wanders	again,	keep
bringing	it	back. The	more	you	practise	this,	the	better	and	easier	it	gets. Your	mind	activity	is	your	choice. Do	you	want	to	keep	repeating	the	insane
nonsense	running	through	your	head	or	do	you	want	to	connect	with	life? Bring	attention	home	to	your	body. As	you	become	proficient	with	awareness	of	your	inner	body,	incorporate
gentle,	reduced	breathing	through	relaxation. While	relaxed,	allow	your
breathing	to	calm	by	itself. Feel	a	tolerable	but	comfortable	need	for	air. Feel
your	inner	body. Feel	your	tummy	gently	move	with	each	breath.Are	you	connected	to	the	wonders	of	life? M
ost	of	us	are	blessed	with	the	traditional	five	senses	of
sight,	hearing,
touch,	smell	and	taste
. A	sixth	sense	is	intuition,	which	is	to	sense	something
in	advance	or	to	know	what	course	of	action	to	take	based	on	a	feeling	or	a
hunch	instead	of	logical	processing. Our	five	senses	enable	us	to	directly	experience	life	on	earth. How	often	do
you	use	your	five	senses	with	an	undivided	mind? When	we	put	our	total	attention	on	our	five	senses,	we	are	out	of	our	mind
and	are	connecting	with	reality. When	you	look,	look. When	you	touch,	touch. When	you	taste,	taste. When	you	smell,	smell. While	using	your	senses,	have
nothing	else	running	through	your	mind. Just	be	there	with	your	full	attention. Set	aside	the	activity	of	your	mind	and	merge	with	your	surroundings. The	question	is	how	much	time	do	you	spend	using	your	five	senses	without

	fat	can	we	have	in	our	diets? What	kind	of	fat? Is
polyunsaturated	fat	better	than	saturated	fat? Is	monounsaturated	fat	better
than	either? What	about	those	special	fats	like	omega-3,	omega-6,	trans	fats
and	DHA? Should	we	avoid	coconut	fat? What	about	fish	oil? Is	there
something	special	about	flaxseed	oil? What’s	a	high-fat	diet	anyway? A	low-
fat	diet? This	can	be	confusing,	even	for	trained	scientists. The	details	that	underlie
these	questions,
when	considered	in	isolation,
	are	very	misleading. As	you
shall	see,	considering	how	networks	of	chemicals	behave	instead	of	isolated
single	chemicals	is	far	more	meaningful. In	some	ways,	however,	it	is	this	foolish	mania	regarding	isolated	aspects
of	fat	consumption	that	teaches	us	the	best	lessons. Therefore,	let’s	look	a
little	more	closely	at	this	story	of	fat	as	it	has	emerged	during	the	past	forty
years. It	illustrates	why	the	public	is	so	confused	both	about	fat	and	about	diet
in	general. On	average,	we	consume	35-40%	of	our	total	calories	as	fat. 19
	We	have
been	consuming	high-fat	diets	like	this	since	the	late	nineteenth	century,	at	the
onset	of	our	industrial	revolution. Because	we	had	more	money,	we	began
consuming	more	meat	and	dairy,	which	are	relatively	high	in	fat. We	weredemonstrating	our	affluence	by	consuming	such	foods. Then	came	the	mid	to	late	twentieth	century	when	scientists	began	to
question	the	advisability	of	consuming	diets	so	high	in	fat. National	and
international	dietary	recommendations
20–23
	emerged	to	suggest	that	we	should
decrease	our	fat	intake	below	30%	of	calories. That	lasted	for	a	couple
decades,	but	now,	the	fears	surrounding	high-fat	diets	are	abating. Some
authors	of	popular	books	even	advocate	increased	fat	intake! Some
experienced	researchers	have	suggested	that	it	is	not	necessary	to	go	below
30%	fat,	as	long	as	we	consume	the	right	kind	of	fat. The	level	of	30%	fat	has	become	a	benchmark,	even	though	there	is	no
evidence	to	suggest	that	this	is	a	vital	threshold. Let’s	get	some	perspective	on
this	figure	by	considering	the	fat	contents	of	a	few	foods,	as	seen	in

With	a	few	exceptions,	animal-based	foods	contain	considerably	more	fat
than	plant-based	foods. 24
	This	is	well	illustrated	by	comparing	the	amount	of
fat	in	the	diets	of	different	countries. The	correlation	between	fat	intake	and
animal	protein	intake	is	more	than	90%. 25
	This	means	that	fat	intake	increases
in	parallel	with	animal	protein	intake. In	other	words,	dietary	fat	is	an

diet	and	heart	disease	and	recommended	a	maximum	intake	of	30%	dietary
fat. Although	the	McGovern	report
generated	a	public	discourse	on	diet	and
disease,	it	was	the	1982	NAS	report	that	gave	momentum	to	this	debate. Its
focus	on	cancer,	as	opposed	to	heart	disease,	increased	public	interest	and
concern. It	spurred	additional	research	activity	and	public	awareness	of	the
importance	of	diet	in	disease	prevention. Many	of	the	reports	at	the	time
20,	27,	28
	were	centered	on	the	question	of
how	much	dietary	fat	was	appropriate	for	good	health. The	unique	attention
given	to	fat	was	motivated	by	international	studies	showing	that	the	amount
of	dietary	fat	consumed	was	closely	associated	with	the	incidence	of	breast
cancer,	large	bowel	cancer	and	heart	disease. These	were	the	diseases	that	kill
the	majority	of	people	in	Western	countries	before	their	time. Clearly,	this
correlation	was	destined	to	attract	great	public	attention. The	China	Study	was
begun	in	the	midst	of	this	environment. The	best	known	study,
29
	in	my	view,	was	that	of	the	late	Ken	Carroll,
professor	at	the	University	of	Western	Ontario	in	Canada. His	findings
showed	a	very	impressive	relationship	between	dietary	fat	and	breast	cancer
(
Chart	4.7
).CHART	4.7:	TOTAL	FAT	INTAKE	AND	BREAST	CANCER
This	finding,	which	corresponded	to	the	earlier	reports	of	others,
3,	30
became	especially	intriguing	when	compared	with	migrant	studies. 31,	32
	These
studies	showed	that	people	who	migrated	from	one	area	to	another	and	who
started	eating	the	typical	diet	of	their	new	residency	assumed	the	disease	risk
of	the	area	to	which	they	moved. This	strongly
implied	that	diet	and	lifestyle
were	the	principle	causes	of	these	diseases. It	also	suggested	that	genes	are
not	necessarily	that	important. As	noted	earlier,	a	very	prominent	report	by	Sir
Richard	Doll	and	Sir	Richard	Peto	of	the	University	of	Oxford	(U.K.)
submitted	to	the	U.S.	Congress	summarized	many	of	these	studies	and
concluded	that	only	2-3%	of	all	cancers	could	be	attributed	to	genes. 4
Do	the	data	from	these	international	and	migrant	studies	mean	that	we	can
lower	our	rate	of	breast	cancer	to	almost	zero	if	we	make	perfect	lifestyle
choices? The	information	certainly	suggests	that	this	could	be	the	case. Concerning	the	evidence	in
Chart	4.7
,	the	solution	seems	obvious:	if	we	eat
less	fat,	then	we’ll	lower	our	breast	cancer	risk. Most	scientists	made	this
conclusion	and	some	surmised	that	dietary	fat	caused	breast	cancer. But	that
interpretation	was	too	simple. Other	charts	prepared	by	Professor	Carroll	were
largely,	almost	totally,	ignored	(
Charts	4.8
	and
4.9
). They	show	that	breast
cancer	was	associated	with	animal	fat	intake	but	not	with	plant	fat. In	rural	China,	dietary	fat	intake	(at


oment	to	remember	his	father,	he	said,	“It	was
the	last	year	or	two	of	my	dad’s	life,	and	we	were	just	strolling	along	one	day. He	was	saying,	‘We	are	going	to	have	to	show	people	how	to	lead	healthier
lives.’
He	was	right	on	it. He	was	intensely	interested	in	preventive	medicine,
but	he	didn’t	have	any	information.”	His	father’s	interest	has	been	a	driving
influence	in	Ess’s	life. Following	in	these	men’s	footsteps,	Ess	went	on	to	amass	an
extraordinarily	impressive	list	of	awards	and	credentials:	an	Olympic	gold
medal	in	rowing;	a	Bronze	Star	for	military	service	in	Vietnam;	President	of
the	Staff,	member	of	the	Board	of	Governors,	chairman	of	the	Breast	Cancer
Task	Force,	and	head	of	the	Section	of	Thyroid	and	Parathyroid	Surgery	at	the
Cleveland	Clinic,	one	of	the	top-ranked	medical	institutions	in	the	world;
president	of	the	American	Association	of	Endocrine	Surgeons;	over	100
professional	scientific	articles;	and	inclusion	on	a	list	in	1994–95	of	the	best
doctors	in	America. 2
	He	remembers,	“For	about	a	ten-	to	fifteen-year	period	I
was	the	top	earner	in	the	department	of	general	surgery. As	Dr.	Crile’s	son-in-
law,	I	was	panicked	about	not	pulling	my	weight. I	didn’t	get	home	until	late
at	night,	but	I	had	a	position	that	was	secure.”	When	the	then-president	of	the
American	Medical	Association	needed	thyroid	surgery,	he	wanted	Ess	to	be
the	one	to	operate. But	despite	the	accolades,	the	titles	and	the	awards,	something	was	not
right. So	often,	Ess’s	patients	did	not	regain	their	health,	even	after	his	best
efforts. As	Ess	described	it,	he	had	“this	haunting	feeling	that	was	really
beginning	to	bother	me. I	kept	looking	at	how	the	patients	were	doing	after
these	operations.”	Slightly	exasperated,	he	said,	“What	is	the	survival	rate	for
cancer	of	the	colon? It’s	not	so	great!”	He	recounted	the	operation	for	colon
cancer	on	one	of	his	best	friends. During	surgery,	they	saw	that	the	cancer	had
spread	throughout	the	intestines. Ess	lowered	his	voice	ever	so	slightly	in
remembering	this,	saying,	“You	get	there	after	the	horse	has	left	the	barn.”	In
thinking	about	all	the	breast
surgery	he	had	done,	the	lumpectomies	and
mastectomies,	he	expressed	disgust	at	the	idea	of	“disfiguring	somebody
when	you	know	that	you	haven’t	changed	their	chances	for	recovery.”
He	began	to	do	some	soul	searching. “What	is	my	epitaph	going	to	be? Five	thousand	mastectomies! You’ve	disfigured	more	women	than	anybody
else	in	Ohio!”	Dropping	the	sarcasm,	he	said	with	sincerity,	“I	think
everybody	likes	to	leave	the	planet	thinking	that	maybe	…	maybe	you’ve
helped	a	little.”Dr. Esselstyn	began	studying	the	literature	on	the	diseases	he	commonly
treated. He	read	some	of	the	popular	work	of	Dr.	John	McDougall,	who	had
just	written	a	best-selling	diet	and	health	book	called
The	McDougall	Plan
. 3
He	read	the	scientific	literature	that	compared	international	disease	rates	and
lifestyle	choices,	and	a	study	by	a	University	of	Chicago	pathologist	showing
that	a	low-fat,	low-cholesterol	diet	fed	to	nonhuman	primates	could	reverse
atherosclerosis. He	came	to	the	realization	that	the	diseases	that	so	often
plagued	his	patients	were	due	to	a	diet	rich	in	meat,	fat	and	highly	refined
foods. As	mentioned	in	chapter	five,	he	got	the	idea	to	treat	heart	patients	with	a
low-fat,	plant-based	diet,	and	in	1985	went	to	the	head	of	the	Cleveland	Clinic
to	discuss	his	study. She	said	that	nobody	had	ever	shown	that	heart	disease	in
humans	could	be	reversed	by	using	dietary	treatment. Still,	Ess	knew	he	was
on	the	right	track	and	went	about	quietly	conducting	his	study	over	the	next
several	years. The	study	he	published,	of	eighteen	patients	with	heart	disease,
demonstrated	the	most	dramatic	reversal	of	heart	disease	in	the	history	of
medicine,	simply	by	using	a	low-fat,	plant-based	diet	and	a	minimal	amount
of	cholesterol-reducing	medication. Esselstyn	has	become	a	champion	of	dietary	treatment	of	disease,	and	he
has	the	data	to	prove	his	case. But	it	hasn’t	been	easy. Rather	than	recognizing
him	as	a	hero,	some	in	the	medical	establishment	would	rather	he	disappear. Somewhere	in	this	transition	from	top-ranked,	self-described	“macho,	hard-
ass	surgeon”	to	dietary	advocate,	he	has	become	known,	behind	his	back,	as
Dr.	Sprouts.A	DAUNTING	TASK
What’s	interesting	about	this	story	is	that	a	man	who	had	reached	the	pinnacle
of	a	highly	respected	profession	dared	to	try	something	different,	succeeded,
and	then	quickly	found	himself	on	the	outside	of
the	establishment	looking	in. He	had	threatened	the	status	quo	by	his	circumvention	of	standard	treatments. Some	of	Ess’s	colleagues	have	disparaged	his	treatment	as	being	too
“extreme.”	Some	doctors	have	dismissed	it	by	saying,	“I	think	the	research	in
this	area	is	pretty	soft,”	which	is	an	absurd	comment	considering	the	breadth
and	depth	of	the	international	studies,	the	animal	studies	and	the	intervention
studies. Some	doctors	have	said	to	Ess,	“Yeah	okay,	but	nobody	is	going	to
eat	like	that. I	can’t	even	get	my	patients	to	stop	smoking.”	Ess’s	response
was,	“Well,	you	really	have	no	training	in	this. This	requires	just	as	much
expertise	as	doing	a	bypass. It	takes	three	hours	for	me	to	counsel	a	patient,”
not	to	mention	the	diligence	required	for	the	constant	follow-up	and
monitoring	of	the	patient’s	health. One	patient	told	his	cardiologist	that	he
wanted	to	see	Ess	and	commit	to	a	dietary	program	to	reverse	his	heart
disease. The	cardiologist	responded,	“Now	you	listen	to	me. There	is	no	way
to	reverse	this	disease.”	You’d	think	that	doctors	would	be	more	excited	about
healing	their	patients! In	talking	about	doctors	and	their	unwillingness	to	embrace	a	whole	foods,
plant-based	diet,	Ess	says,	“You	can’t	get	frustrated. These	aren’t	evil	people. There	are	sixty	cardiologists	[at	the	Cleveland	Clinic],	any	number	of	whom
are	closet	believers	in	what	I	do,	but	they’re	a	little	afraid	because	of	the
power	structure.”
For	Ess,	however,	it	has	been	impossible	to	avoid	his	share	of	frustration. Early	on,	when	he	was	first	suggesting	dietary	treatment	of	heart	disease,
colleagues	greeted	the	idea	with	caution. Ess	figured	that	the

The pur pose of prior works was to explore and explain a new  research
technique based  on consciousness and its application to all areas of life,
including subjective spiritual experiences and realizations. The
development of a pragmatic clinical science of truth emer ged that could
be u sed as a compass to guide man’ s endless quest for t ruth. As
described in previous studies, b y virtue of its very structure, the human
mind is incapab le of discerning truth from falsehood, a fact of which
mankind is painfully aware. The price of this ignorance and limitation
has been  enormous. Not only individuals but also whole civ ilizations
have gone through staggering amounts of agony, suf fering, and death. The levels of consciousness will be examined specifically for th e sake of
the spiri tual student, devotee, and integrous person interested  in self-
improvement for its own sake. By analyzing the various obstacles and
levels to be transcended, certain principles that support spiritual
evolution are self-revealing. This wo rk is therefore a practic al manual rather than a comprehensive
analysis, which has been presented in prior books (e.g., Sect ion 1 of
T ruth vs. Falsehood, 200 5). Although it alludes to prior work, the basic
principles will again be covered. Material is also provided for the
frustrated seeker who has ‘read everything, been everywhere’, attended
all kinds  of workshops, and yet seems to be ‘st

On the following pages you will observe t he very unusual results we have obtained from the Ultimate Tissue Cleansing Program. Please note that these specimens are not all from the same body, but represent the flushings from several individuals. If a
photograph was ever worth a thousand words, sur ely these are, for they speak for themselves. I have not experienced any other
method that can consistently and as thoroughly match this one in results. This is truly a major step forward in the battle to
overcome toxemia and autointoxication. On the first  three pages you will see the results of the 7 -Day Cleansing Program as it reversed a stubborn case of ulcerated feet and
ankles. For more details, please refer to page 112, Chapter 9, Patient 1 in our case histories. On all three pages, the first photo wa s taken on Day 1 of the treatment; the second photo was taken on Day 4; and the third photo
was taken on Day 7 of the cleansing program. The results are remarkable. On the following pages, you will witness the shocking effluence as it was gathered from the  colema flushing. Who would guess
that such things could accumulate inside the human body? Could this substance be the source of disease, illness and poor heal th? This accumulated material ranged from jelly -like to hard as truck tire rubber; clear to black  as tar; fresh to morbidly old; fragments
to 3- and 4 -foot long ropes, and all with the odor that only speaks of very rotten things. Notice the mucus lining taking the shape of
the bowel, complete with haustrations, striations, strictures and diverticula. This is truly an amazing phenomenon. Please note that
these specimens are not all from the same body, but


prejudices. One of the most difficult things for man to give up is his su -
perstitions, his prejudice. He holds on to these as though they were the
treasure of treasures. When you do become cleansed and you are free, then the womb, your
own mind is automatically healed. It becomes the prepared ground where
seeds, your desires, can take root and grow into manifestation. The child
you now bear in your heart is your present objective. Your present longing
is a child that is as though it were sick. If you assume you are not what
you would like to be, the child for a moment becomes dead because there
is no disturbance anymore. You cannot be disturbed when you feel you are what you want to be be -
cause if you feel you are what you wanted to be, you are satisfied in that
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenassumption. To others who judge superficially you seem no longer to de -
sire, so to them the desire or damsel is dead. They think you have lost
your ambition because you no longer discuss your secret ambition. You
have completely adjusted yourself to the idea. You have assumed that
you are what you want to be. You know, “She is not dead, she but sleep -
eth. ” “I go to awaken her. ”
I walk in the assumption that I am, and as I walk, I quietly awaken her. Then when she awakens I will do the normal, natural thing. I will give her
to eat. I will not brag about it and tell others, I simply go and tell no man. I feed this state I now like with my attention. I keep it alive within my
world by becoming attentive to it. Things that I am not attentive to fade and wither within my world, regard -
less of what they are. They are not just born and remain unfed. I gave
them birth by reason of the fact that I became conscious of being them. When I embody them within my world that is not the end. That is the be -
ginning. Now I am a mother who must keep alive this state by being at -
tentive to it. The day that I am not attentive, I have withdrawn my milk
from it, and it fades from my world, as I become attentive to something
else in my world. You can either be attentive to the limitations and feed these and make
them mountains, or you can be attentive to your desires; but to become
attentive you must assume you are already that which you wanted to be. Although today we speak of a third-dimensional and a fourth-dimensional
focus, do not think for one moment these ancient teachers were not fully
conscious of these two distinct centers of thought within the minds of all
men. They personified these two, and they tried to show man that the
only thing which robs him of the man he could be, is habit. Although it is
no law, every psychologist will tell you that habit is the most inhibiting
force in the world. It completely restricts man and binds him and makes
him totally blind to what otherwise he should be. Begin now to mentally see and feel yourself as that which you want to be,
and feast upon that sensation morning, noon, and night. I have scoured
the Bible for a time interval that is longer than three days and I have not
found it. “Jesus answered and said unto them, destroy this temple, and in three
days I will raise it up. ” (John 2:19). “Prepare your victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jor -
dan, to go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God giveth you to
possess it. ” (Joshua 1:11). More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenIf I could completely saturate my mind with one sensation and walk as

of it in this great book) that I do not need more than a three day diet if I
remain faithful to it. But I must be honest about it. If I change my diet in
the course of the day, I extend the time interval. You ask me, “But how do I know about the interval. ” You, yourself deter -
mine the interval. We have today in our modern world a little word which confuses most of
us. I know it confused me until I dug deeper. The word is “action. ” Action
is supposed to be the most fundamental thing in the world. It is not an
atom, it is more fundamental. It is not a part of an atom like an electron,
it is more fundamental than that. They call it the fourth-dimensional unit. The most fundamental thing in the world is action. You ask, “What is action. ” Our physicists tell us that it is energy multi -
plied by time. We become more confused and say, “Energy multiplied by
time, what does that mean. ” They answer, “There is no response to a
stimulus, no matter how intense the stimulus, unless it endures for a cer -
tain length of time. ” There must be a minimum endurance to the stimulus
or there is no response. On the other hand there is no response to time
unless there is a minimum degree of intensity. Today the most fundamen -
tal thing in the world is called action, or simply energy multiplied by time. The Bible gives it as three days; the duration is three days for response in
this world. If I would now assume I am what I want to be, and if I am
faithful to it and walk as though I were, the very longest stretch given for
its realization is three days. If there is something tonight that you really want in this world, then expe -

you should not use it as a comforter. If it is not true, you must completely
discard it. I know it is true. You will not know it until you try either to
prove or disprove it. Too many of us have joined “isms” and we are afraid to put them to the
test because we feel we might fail; and, then, where are we. Not really
wanting to know the truth concerning it, we hesitate to be bold enough to
put it to the test. You say, “I know it would work in some other way. I do
not want to really test it. While I have not yet disproved it, I can still be

person after five days of instruction than to have you go out dissatisfied. I
hope you will be bold enough to challenge this instruction and either

nique again. We have two techniques in applying this law. Everyone here
must now know exactly what he wants. You must know that if you do not
get it tonight you will still be as desirous tomorrow concerning this objec -
tive. When you know exactly what you want, construct in your mind's eye a
single, simple event which implies fulfillment of your desire, an event
wherein self predominates. Instead of sitting back and looking at yourself
as though you were on the screen, you be the actor in the drama. Restrict the event to one single action. If you are going to shake a hand
because that implies fulfillment of your desire then do that and that only. Do not shake hands and then wander off in your imagination to a dinner
party or to some other place. Restrict your action to simply shaking hands
and do it over and over again, until that handshake takes on the solidity
and the distinctness of reality. If you feel you cannot remain faithful to an action, I want you now to de -
fine your objective, and then condense the idea, which is your desire, into
a single phrase, a phrase which implies fulfillment of your desire, some
phrase such as, “Isn't it wonderful. ”

DR. JOHN HAGELIN
Quantum mechanics confirms it. Quantum cosmology
confirms it. That the Universe essentially emerges from
thought and all of this matter around us is just precipitated
thought. Ultimately toe are the source of the Universe, and
when we understand that power directly by experience, we
can start to exercise our authority and begin to achieve more
and more. Create anything. Know anything from within the
field of our own consciousness, which ultimately is Universal
consciousness that runs the Universe. So depending upon how we use that power, positively or
negatively, that's the kind of body in terms of health, that's
the kind of environment we create. So we are the creators, not
only of our own destiny, but ultimately we are the creators
of Universal destiny. We are the creators of the Universe. So
there's no limit, really, to human potential. It's the degree to
which we recognize those deep dynamics and exercise them,
the degree to which we harness our power. And that really
has to do again with the level at which we think. Some of the greatest teachers and avatars described the Universe
in the same way as Dr. Hagelin, by saying that all that exists is the
One Universal Mind, and there is nowhere that the One Mind is
not. It exists in everything. The One Mind is all intelligence, all
wisdom, and all perfection, and it is everything and everywhere The Secret to You 161

whole of it exists everywhere, then it is all in You! Let me help you understand what that means for you. It means
that every possibility already exists. All knowledge, all discover-

as possibilities, waiting for the human mind to draw them forth. Every creation and invention in history has also been drawn from
the Universal Mind, whether the person consciously knew that
or not. How do you draw from it? You do it through your awareness of
it, and by using your wonderful imagination.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

focused on thoughts of wealth and the Universe moved people,

When I first understood The Secret, every day I would get
a bunch of bills in the mail I thought, "How do I turn this
around. " The law of attraction states that what you focus
on you will get, so I got a bank statement, I whited out the
total, and I put a new total in there. I put exactly how much
I wanted to see in the bank. So I thought, "What if I just
visualized checks coming in the mail. " So I just visualized a
bunch of checks coming in the mail Within just one month,
things started to change. It is amazing; today I just get
checks in the mail. I get a few bills, but I get more checks
than bills. Since the film The Secret was released, we have received hundreds
and hundreds of letters from people who have said that since
watching the film they have received unexpected checks in the
mail. And it happened because as they gave their focus and atten
tion to David's story, they brought checks to them. The Secret to Money 105

have to get competition out of your mind, and become a creative

through people, circumstances, and events, by the law of attraction. Think of the law of attraction as the law of supply. It is the law that
enables you to draw from the infinite supply. When you emit the
perfect frequency of what you want, the perfect people, circum-
stances, and events will be attracted to you and delivered! It is not people who are giving you the things you desire. If you
hold that false belief, you will experience lack, because you are
looking at the outside world and people as the supply. The true
supply is the invisible field, whether you call that the Universe, the
Supreme Mind, God, Infinite Intelligence, or whatever else. When-
ever you receive anything, remember that you attracted it to you
by the law of attraction, and by being on the frequency and in har-
mony with the Universal Supply. The Universal Intelligence which
pervades everything moved people, circumstances, and events to
give that thing to you, because that is the law. 164 The Secret

250examined, of whom 300 had one or more carious teeth, or had lost teeth by caries, making 29.9
per cent of the individuals with dental caries. Of this total number of individuals studied in twenty-
seven groups, there were several groups with practically complete immunity to dental caries, while
other groups had relatively high incidence of that disease. Facial and Dental Arch Deformities. The purpose of these studies has included the obtaining
of data which will throw light also on the etiology of deformities of the dental arches and face,
including irregularity of position of the teeth. A marked variation of the incidence of irregularities was found in the different tribes. This
variation could be directly associated with the nutrition rather than with the tribal pattern. The
lowest percentage of irregularity occurred in the tribes living very largely on dairy products and
marine life. For example, among the Masai living on milk, blood and meat, only 3.4 per cent had
irregularities. Among the Kikuyu and Wakamba, 18.2 and 18.9 per cent respectively had
irregularities. These peap!e were largely agriculturists living primarily on vegetable foods. In the
native Arab school at Omdurman, among the pupils living almost entirely according to the native
customs of selection and preparation of foods, 6.4 per cent had irregularities, while in the native
school at modernized Khartoum 17 per cent had irregularities. In the Ikhlas school at Cairo, under
modern influence, 16.5 per cent had irregularities. In the native hospital at Khartoum, 70 per cent
had irregularities. In the Pygmy group 33.3 per cent had irregularities, and among the grain eaters
of the west Nile, 25.5 per cent had irregularities. The Jeannes School had 46.1 per cent and the
Ogada mission 30 per cent. While the primitive racial stocks of Africa developed normal facial and dental arch forms when
on their native foods, several characteristic types of deformity frequently developed in the children
of the modernized groups. One of the simplest forms, and one which corresponds with a very
common deformity pattern in the United States, involves the dropping inward of the laterals with
narrowing of the upper arch making the incisors appear abnormally prominent and crowding the
cuspids outside the line of the arch. Typical illustrations of this are shown in Fig. 45. Where the
nutritional deficiency is very severe, as at Mombasa on the coast, more severe changes in facial
form are found. 7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 96/250FIG. 45. In the new generations, born after the parents had
adopted typical modernized diets of Europeans, there was a
marked change in the facial and dental arch forms of the
adolescent children. Note the narrowing of the nostrils and
dental arches and the crowding of the teeth in these four
typical young men. Among the deformity patterns a lack of development forward of the middle third of the face or
of the lower third of the face often appeared in the more highly modernized groups. An illustration
of the former is seen in Fig. 46 (upper left), and of the latter in Fig. 46 (lower left and right). In the
girl at the upper left, the upper arch tends to go inside the lower arch all around. This girl is of the
first generation, in a mission in Nairobi, following the adoption of the modernized foods by the
parents. FIG. 46. Disturbed nature may present a variety nf deformity
patterns. In the upper left the upper arch is much too small
for the lower and nearly goes inside it. The upper right is
narrowed with crowding of the teeth. Both lower cases
demonstrate an underdevelopment of the mandible of the
lower jaw. A more extreme and severe type of facial change involves an abnormal narrowing with marked7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 97/250distortion of both upper and lower arches. This is shown typically in Fig. 47. FIG. 47. As in our civilization, even the first generation, after
the adoption of modernized foods may show gross
deformities. Note the extreme protrusion of the upper teeth
with shortening of the lower jaw in the upper pictures and
the marked narrowing with lengthening of the face in the
lower views. The injury is not limited to the visible
structures. These extreme deformities often produce facial expressions that are suggestive of the faces of
some of the monkeys. This is illustrated by the three boys shown with the monkey in Fig. 48.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 98/250FIG. 48. A very frequent injury apearing in the offspring after
the adoption of less efficient foods often involves a marked
depression of the middle third of the face as illustrated in the
three boys in this view. Note the comparison with the
chimpanzee face. The Arabs in several districts use camels' milk extensively. It is nutritious, and in much of the
desert country constitutes the mainstay of the nomads for months at a time. The primitive Arabs
studied had fine dental arches with very little deformity. Even the horses ridden by the Arab chiefs
in moving their camel herds across the desert are often dependent, sometimes for as long as three
months, upon the milk of the camels for their nutrition. Typical Arab faces and a camel caravan at
rest are shown in Fig. 49. The primitive Arab girls have splendidly developed faces and fine dental
arches. Their natural beauty, however, is rapidly lost with modernization, as illustrated in Fig. 50.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 99/250FIG. 49. In the hot desert countries of Asia and Africa
camel's milk is an important item of human nutrition. The
teeth of the Arahs, as illustrated helow, are excellent. Large
areas could not maintain human life without the camel and its
milk. FIG. 50. Both girls and boys in the modernized colonies in
Cairo showed typical deformity patterns in faces and dental
arches. The health of these groups is not comparable to that
of those living on the native dietaries. Reproductive
efficiency in these generations is greatly reduced. Dr. Hrdlicka has called attention to the occasional development in several racial stocks of
individuals who travel on all fours instead of upright. I saw several individuals of this type in Africa
scooting around about as rapidly as the dogs. They were, accordingly, difficult to photograph. Two are shown in Fig. 51.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 100/250FIG. 51. These two native African children scooted around
on all fours so swiftly that it was difficult to take their
pictures. We did not see them stand up. They behaved very
much like tame chimpanzees. While slavery of the old form no longer exists in the so-called civilized countries, in its new form
it is a most tragic reality for many of the people. Taxes and the new order of living make many
demands. For many of these primitive tribes a new suit of clothes could formerly be had every day
with no more trouble than cutting a new banana leaf. With the new order they are requested to
cover their bodies with clothing. Cloth of all kinds including the poorest cotton has to be imported. They must pay an excessive charge due to the long transportation cost for the imported goods, a
charge which often exceeds the original cost in the European or American markets by several fold. In order to pay their head tax they are frequently required to carry such products as can be used
by the government officials, chiefly foods, over long distances and for part of each year. These
foods are often those which not only the adults, but particularly the growing children sorely need
for providing body growth and repair. This naturally has produced a current of acute unrest and a
chafing under the foreign domination. As we encircled Ethiopia we found the natives not only aware of what was going on in that
border country, but deeply concerned regarding the outcome. From their temper and sympathetic
attitude for the oppressed Ethiopians, it would not be surprising if sympathizers pass over the
border into that country to support their crushed neighbors. The problem is accordingly very much
larger than the interest of some particular foreign power. It deals directly with the future course of
events and the attitude of the African natives in general toward foreign domination. The native
African is not only chafing under the taxation by foreign overlords, but is conscious that his race
becomes blighted when met by our modern civilization. I found them well aware of the fact that
those of their tribes who had adopted European methods of living and foods not only developed
rampant tooth decay, but other degenerative processes. In one of the most efficiently organized mission schools that we found in Africa, the principal
asked me to help them solve a serious problem. He said there was no single question asked them

 do this that or the other. But, from the beginning of history, most of humanity has
realized, however dimly, that there is some kind of law and
authority in the Universe. This is shown by the fact that man
kind-not knowing what that authority is-has postulated
deities of many kinds and a Spiritual Universe in authority over
the Material Universe. The material and the spiritual, the body and the mind, the
organism and the soul-these contrasting concepts represent a
prevalent attitude of mankind towards the Universe in which
he finds himself. But is this attitude really justified. Is it merely the result of
our lack of information about the true nature of things. If the
Universe is one of law and order-as all the evidence indicates-is
it not more likely that there is really a 'unified authority' rather
than a 'divided rule' of the spiritual and material. Webster de
fines universe as: 'All created things viewed as constituting one
system or whole; the creation, the cosmos.'The very word, then,
implies unity, not the 'dual control' of two kinds of authority. If, too, we accept that the Universe is one of law and order, are
we justified in assuming that it includes some chaotic exceptions. Is it not more likely that such an assumption is merely a product
of our ignorance. The fields of life can offer us a new approach to these vital
questions. But, before we discuss this, it is necessary to dis
tinguish between the three kinds of laws that govern mankind :
First, there are Nature's laws, definable and reproducible,
which, as far as we know, are valid right through the Universe. Though we can hope to learn more about them, it is certain that
we can neither alter nor repeal them. THE CONTINUING ADV ENTURE
Second, there are man-made written laws which vary from
country to country and from state to state. These-as we are
painfully aware at the present time-are not always enforced
or enforceable and can be argued, evaded or appealed ad nauseam. While Nature's laws are precise, inflexible and permanent, man
made laws arc often fuzzy, pliable and variable. So much so, in
fact, that it is hard for many who are only familiar with man
made laws to realize that there can be a superior kind. Third, there are the so-called moral laws. These, again, are
laws invented by the mind of man, nearly always with the hope
that they will improve man's attitude towards other men. Most,
if not all, of these laws are the product of the intuitive, creative
capacity of the mind of man-expounded by the philosophers
and prophets of past genera tions. They are valuable because, like
the written law, they are primarily concerned with controlling
behaviour and represent one creative activity of the mind of man. But they vary from country to country and bear little-if any
relationship to the laws of the Universe. Moreover they have been imposed on mankind by. tradition
and by past intuitions; and it is hard to believe that the elder
statesmen of two or three thousand years ago could present,
through intuition-valuable as it may have been-the answers
to all the questions which actually face the mind of man today. Of the three kinds of laws, only those of Nature that we have
discovered can give us a feeling of certainty. At the sub-atomic
level, it is true, there is still some uncertainty. But once the sub
atomic entities arc agglomerated into atoms or molecules we
can recognize and validate primary laws and forces. We know,
for example, that there is a law of gravity. We also know about
electrical and magnetic forces, nuclear forces and contact forces. The laws underlying such phenomena, in fact, are so well known
to scientists that they can be made to serve mankind. Our use
of these natural laws in the present age is miraculous. As a re
sult, we live in a much more comfortable world-at least in the
Northern Hemisphere -than mankind has ever known. Those parts of the world which we choose to call 'primitive'
are so because their inhabitants have not yet learned enough
about the laws and forces of Nature to use them to their full ad-
116 THE CONTINUING ADVENTURE
vantage. Through the extraordinary development of science, the
Western world has put forces to work for its benefit in an excit
ing and unprecedented way. This would not have been possible
if there were no natural laws and forces which the mind of man
could discover and-more important -understand. To the precise laws of Nature, man's written and moral laws
offer a depressing contrast. The written law, formalized and
expanded by lawyers, is not necessarily the law by which men
live. The living law of human beings is mainly an unwritten
law but it controls the major part of our activities. In many ways,
most of us tend to ignore the written law and behave as we
think commonsense, as it is called, dictates. Moral law is even more flexible -as we see in the current era
of 'permissiveness'. And it is always easier to tell the other man
what he should do than it is to do those things ourselves. Man
has an astonishing capacity to dodge the issues, to hide his real
drive behind a plethora of words which, in many cases, serve as
an excuse for what he thinks should be done or perhaps, more
accurately, for what he wants to do. lt is an extraordinary fact that over the past few thousand
years man has developed an astonishing capacity to use the laws
of Nature for his benefit but, as far as one can see, he has not
made a comparable advance by his use of the written or moral
laws. Most of man's troubles are spawned in the swamps of his own
desires. And his written and moral laws have no relation to the
laws of Nature. As a result, conflict, frustration and anxiety rule
the minds of many, because they cannot reconcile their written
and moral laws with the laws of Nature. We will not be able to get rid of a great many of our troubles,
therefore, until we attempt to relate the written and moral laws
to the laws of the Universe. And if we spent the same amount of
time and money on resolving the discrepancies bet ween the man
made laws of the legalists and moralists and the laws of the
Universe, there is no reason why our advances should not be as
miraculous as those in our material environment. We need to
devote the same kind of effort and thinking which is at present
applied to space exploration to revise man-made laws and to
117 THE CONTINUING ADVENTURE
harmonize them as far as we can with what we know about the
laws of Nature. 4
No doubt it will take a very long time before we can make
man-made laws more compatible with those of Nature. But it is
important to make a start because the sooner we can do this,
the sooner we can begin to resolve some of our problems and
frustra tions. This task, of course, should be attacked from as many useful
angles as we can think of. But in this book we can only consider
the ways in which a further study of the fields of life can con
tribute to the greatest problem that faces mankind-human be
haviour. An immedia te-and important-contribution which a know
ledge of L-fields can make is the certainty that there an natural
laws to which mankind is subject for us to discover and under
stand. We are not chasing a mere will-O'-the-wisp because we
have found that the L-fields which control man are themselves
subject to the greater fields of the Universe. For us to get any real understanding of the natu re of man and
why he behaves as he does, it is necessary to find natural factors
which, like the law of gravity, are valid everywhere and not only
in the western, eastern or southern hemisphere. L-fields offer us
a starting clue in this search because-as we have seen-the state
of the human field reflects the state of the mind. As L-fields are
subject to universal forces. operating everywhere, it seems reason
able to suppose that the latter have some planet-wide influence
on the minds of men. As extraterrestrial forces, such as solar flares and sun-spot
activity, influence the L-fields of trees it seems most unlikely that
human L-fields are unaffected by such forces. For instance, as
this is written, we are approaching the peak of the current cycle
of sun-spot activity. Is it coincidence that in the past few years
there have been unusual world-wide unrest, riots and disturb
ances of various kinds. We do not know whether it is coincid-
118 THE CONTINUING ADVENTURE
ence or not. But if we could establish by further experiment and
analysis that mankind tends to be more excitable during increas
ing sun-spot activity, this knowledge, obviously, would be of the
utmost value to world leaders. No doubt other factors are involved in the present world-wide
unrest but it would be helpful if we could recognize and isolate
one of them. The Foundation for the Study of Cycles, of Pittsburgh, Penn

therapy. We have found it advisable to have such a weekly manipulative
treatment, for at least the first nine months of cancer treatment. The regular body
massage that people are familiar with are not a good but also helpful. Neurological stimulation can sometimes be increased or simulated by hormone
therapy, but this technique must be performed under the direction of a very highly
skilled clinician. There are a group of dentists who use a method called Mandibular Equilibration
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) equilibration to re-shape the skull, take stresses from
the brain, and in this way effect very profound neurological changes. The following are brief descriptions of a few highly successful body-aligning
systems. Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Equilibration
Temporomandibular Joint is such a mouthful that dentists like to use just the
initials. It is the name of the joint just in front of the ear where the lower jaw hinges. 76

There is one on the right side, and one on the left. When one or both of them are
forced out of place it may lead to such distressing or painful conditions as earache,
headache, head noises, clicking sounds, dizziness, nervousness and even mental
troubles. For such ailments as these, doctors may prescribe hot and cold packs, diathermy,
massage vibration, rest, surgery, psychological treatment or drugs. While all of these
remedies are useful at times, they often do not bring permanent relief if stress in the
joint is the real cause of the trouble. When the cause is stress in this joint in front of the ear, as it often is, a safe and
highly successful dental treatment may be the solution. This treatment is known as
"equilibration" (pronounced ee-quil-i-bray-shun); it simply means equalizing the
muscle forces to restore the lower jaw and its joints to their normal unstrained or
neutral positions. How do the joints get out of adjustment in the first place. It might be from a blow
on the chin, a muscle spasm, or opening the jaw too wide (as when biting or
yawning). But the most common is chewing with teeth that come together in a wrong
way. Dentists refer to this condition as "malocclusion. " We close our jaws in chewing food, of course — and most persons also press their
teeth together one or two thousand times a day between meals in swallowing. If the
teeth do not meet properly, the pressures on them during chewing and swallowing
may force the lower jaw into a strained position that pinches the joints in front of the
ears. If you could see through the skin and get a side view of the TMJ, you would see
how the mandible, or lower jaw, hinges to the skull. The joint consists of a ball-and-
socket arrangement, with the ball being a rounded mass of bone in the back part of
the lower jaw that fits into a socket at the base of the skull. When you open and close
your jaw, this "ball" rotates in its socket, and — if the teeth push the jaw too far in
any direction — the soft tissues between the bones are pinched. One trouble that sometimes follows this pinching is a slow loss of hearing, says one
authority on TMJ disorders. He cites the case of a man who was losing his hearing
and had been wearing a hearing aid for two years before he learned of equilibration. He had not noticed any discomfort at the joints in front of his ears, nor that his teeth
were not meeting properly, but suspected that his teeth might somehow be causing
stress. Se he went to his dentist, who made the necessary changes on the chewing
surfaces of his teeth. Three days later, the patient's hearing had improved to such an
77

extent that he discarded his hearing aid. He has not needed it since. That was nine
years ago, and his hearing is still good. Not all patients respond so quickly nor so completely as that, of course, and there
are many other causes of deafness, the authority points out — but pressure at the TMJ
should not be overlooked. Besides hearing trouble, this authority says, stress in the TMJ can cause neuralgia,
stiff neck, running ears and itching ears. He tells of a woman who suffered from
itching ears so much that in company she often had to excuse herself from the room
to scratch her ears. X-ray pictures showed both Temporomandibular joints to be out
of normal adjustment. After her dentist corrected the chewing surfaces of her teeth,
the itching gradually left. (X-ray pictures showed that the joints are now in proper
adjustment. ) It is not uncommon for stress in the TMJ to bring on head noises. A patient who
wore artificial dentures in which the teeth were out of adjustment, forcing the left side
of his jaw backward until the joint on that side was under considerable stress,
experienced almost immediate relief from roaring sounds in his ears after being
treated by his dentist. This was several years ago, and the roaring sound has not
returned. Although the connection between stress in the TMJ and the troubles cited is not
fully understood, it is known that there is a connection, because when the condition
in the joint is corrected the troubles often disappear. How does the dentist restore the joints to a normal condition of equilibrium. As
part of the treatment he may change the slopes of the natural or artificial teeth, or
make the teeth higher or lower to bring the chewing muscles into proper working
relationship. Sometimes he reduces pressure on the front teeth so that the chewing
forces fall more on the back teeth. (If the ball parts of the lower jaw have been
pushed too far up into their sockets, this "pivoting" allows them to settle down again
into their normal relaxed positions. ) As the TMJ authority notes, one advantage of equilibration treatment is that it can
be done in the dental office and, in many instances, saves the patient from the more
radical treatments of surgery or the injection of chemicals into the joints. Quite often,
in fact, equilibration is the only treatment needed. As with other treatment, preventing trouble is an important aim of TMJ diagnosis. Because TMJ stress sometimes builds up gradually, with the patient suffering no
inconvenience at first, the lower jaw and its joints are often checked for equilibrium

to prevent trouble. Dentists, Physicians Team Up To Treat TMJ Disorders
Dentists and physicians all over the world are teaming up for diagnosis and
treatment of TMJ disorders. (One physician-dentist reported improvement in over
85% of more than 1,000 patients treated with pivoting; another physician-dentist
team reported that 52 of 54 patients obtained relief from dizziness after equilibration. ) In 1955 many dentists and physicians from the U. S. and abroad organized as the
American Equilibration Society to further more intensive study of the TMJ and related
structures. CranioSacral Therapy
This is a very gentle, non-invasive hands-on approach that focuses on the
craniosacral system of the body. This system consists of the membranes and
cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. It extends
from the bones of the skull, face and mouth — which make up the cranium — down
to the sacrum, or tailbone. This system has been effective in evaluating and treating problems associated with
pain and dysfunction, lowered vitality, and recurring infections. The light touch
employed in this approach encourages your own natural mechanisms to improve the
functioning of your brain and spinal cord, to dissipate the negative effects of stress
and to enhance your general health and resistance to disease. Craniosacral therapy by Osteopaths, Chiropractors and Dentists has proven to
help people who complain of ringing in the ears (tinnitus) and some forms of
hearing loss. Many have asked Dr. Kelley this question:
"I have a friend losing the lung cancer battle. Does your program help those in later
states of cancer. Chemotherapy and radiation have not worked for him. " Dr. Kelley's answer:
There is only one solution to any cancer. — The Kelley Metabolic Program. In
reviewing the medical literature today from 1889 it has been well established, "there
is no cure for cancer after it has been interfered with. All cancer reacts by increased
growth to any injury mechanical or surgical, chemical, or thermal. " The 1985
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Review of several thousands of my patients stated that
79
Winning The Cancer War
"cure rate of the Kelley Program was only 93% after the physicians had used Surgery,
Chemotherapy and Radiation" Of course this is the highest "cure rate" in medical
history. Exception was "pancreatic cancer" at a 100% "cure rate". The denial of the KELLEY METABOLIC CANCER CURE PROGRAM is the denial
of truth and all known scientific proven understanding. This denial is common among
the Orthodox and Alternative medical communities. "Cure" is not in their vocabulary;
only "treatment" and "remission" for financial gain. Cancer victims are "expendable
as in experimental animals. " Should you or your friends, at this late terminal stage, choose to use our
program, and can follow the PROGRAM exactly for six months, there is a possibility
