fore it reached  your  world! That  is the Power  of Alertness
and detection;  and it is why  We call with  all the earnestness
of Our  Beings,  for the students  to become  more  and  more
alert;  in the Acknowledgment  of their  Presence  and all the DISCOURSE  XXII  303
conditions  which  touch  their  worlds;  so they  may  be
prompted. Let Me also  correct  a thing  which  has been  acting  within
mankind  concerning  promptings  or the premonition  of
things. Such  a thing  is not given  as an inevitable  occurrence
to act in your  world  but you  are being  prompted  to issue
your  Mighty  Decree,  so it may  be dissolved  and  consumed. Then,  it cannot  act in your  world! Mankind  has been  ac-
cepting  premonitions  and  promptings  thruout  the centu-
ries; and  have  believed  because  Individuals  received  them,
they must  act in their  worlds. Because  such  a prompting
was received,  you  may  say:  "Be  thou  dissolved  and  con-
sumed"! and  it would  be so! Remember,  that  as you value
your  progress! Beloved  Ones,  My  Joy is Boundless! Will  you  rejoice
with  Me, in the Service  which  it has been  possible  to render,
while  the  Messenger  was  voicing  My  Words  to you! Seventy-five  per cent  of you who  are in this room,  have  en-
abled  Me to dissolve  and  consume  seventy-five  percent  of
your  own  human  creation! My Gratitude  and  Joy is very
Great! Accept  It please! Then,  as you  enter  into  the class
know  you have  entered  into  your  Eternal—your  Permanent
Freedom;  and  no longer  accept  any  condition  or appear-
ance,  as having  power  to limit  or disturb  you again. Oh, will  you feel how  Real  all this is? I am none  the less
Real,  because  you  do not see Me. Because  My  Vibratory
Action  raises  My Body  of Light,  beyond  your  physical  sight,
is no reason  why  I am not Real! I am more  Real  than  you; 3o4  THE  "I AM"  DISCOURSES
believe  it or not! Please  do not believe  a thing  is not Real,
because  it is invisible;  for all the Great  Powers  in the World
which  are being  used  are invisible! Many  thousands  of students  have  seen  the Calls  of the
Messengers  answered  with  definite  precision. Now,  as the
Great  Momentum  of the large  number  of students,  who  in
their  great  loyalty  are joining  in these  Wondrous  Decrees,
the Power  has become  Mighty. Many  of the things  which
were  thought  to take  place  in the World,  have  not taken
place. All of you  earnest,  Blessed  Ones,  have  been  a part
of That  Great  Service  in the Mighty  Decrees  which  you
have  issued. We congratulate  all the students  who  are able
to release  such  a Mighty  Power  of the Ascended  Masters'
Divine  Love  and Blessings,  for It is the Secret  of all things! The refusal  to accept  or listen  to human  gossip  is the
Open  Door  to solve  your  problems. There  the Out-pouring
of the Ascended  Masters  Divine  Love  and  Blessing  is the
Open  Door,  to the Out-pouring  from  the Presence,  which
will solve  all things. We rejoice,  so many  of the students
after,  such  a long  time  and many  repetitions  of This  Instruc-
tion,  are beginning  to understand,  the first  imperative  need
in their  worlds,  is to refuse  to listen  to or voice  destruction;
send  forth  discordant  qualities;  or even  to allow  them  to act
within  their  feeling. Then,  as they  pour  out Divine  Love
and Blessings  to all persons,  places,  conditions  and  things,
the Whole  Universe  will  flood  their  worlds  with  money,
supply,  happiness,  health,  strength  and  courage;  because
they are complying  with  the great  Law  of Life! DISCOURSE  XXII  305
I thank  you  for this  opportunity,  to offer  My  Humble
Assistance  in that  which  has been  rendered;  and  may  the
Glory  of Our  Happiness  ever  intensify  and  increase  within
your  feeling  world  and  consciousness! Remember—to  you
and all the students,  has been  offered  the Use  of the As-
cended  Masters'  Consciousness  and  Substance;  which  can-
not be requalified  by human  qualification. Call  It into
action  in your  world! Charge  your  body  with  It and  let Its
Perfect  Work  go on, unto  your  Full  Perfection. Then,  you
attain  your  Ascension  into  the Eternal  body  of Light. Oh,
Beloved  Ones,  how  wonderful  it is that  mankind  can have
the Opportunity  to come  home  and live within  the Happi-
ness,  the Glory  and  the Perfection  which  Life  has always
held for all Individuals;  but which  mankind  had forgotten. The Love  and  Blessings  of the Great  Host  of Ascended

DENVER,  COLORADO
Beloved  Students  and  Friends,  while  These  Words  are
spoken  to you  by the Messenger,  it shall  be My Pleasure
to release  approximately  sixty  percent  of those  in the room
from  the most  discordant  accumulation,  which  they  have
drawn  about  themselves  thru  the centuries. Perhaps  you  do not understand  exactly  what  I mean;
but you have  accumulated  more  or less discord  thruout  the
centuries  and  it is still  about  you. Few  of the students
have  used  the Violet  Consuming  Flame  with  sufficient  in-
tensity,  to allow  the Great  Presence  to have  dissolved  their
human  accumulation  completely. Tonight,  I shall  en-
deavor  to finish  that for many  of you. Since  your  sincerity,  since  your  stand  for the Light  in
Denver  has been  so unusual,  then  shall  your  reward  come
in your  own  release;  and those  for whom  it is accomplished,
will feel it without  question  within  a few days. Therefore,  tonight,  will  you  be kind  enough  to accept
the Radiance  poured  forth  to you,  about  you  and  in your
feeling  world,  to render  This  Service ? Remember,  this is at
the Call  of your  Own  Life. There  is but One  Power  in the
Universe  to act and  It is your  own  Life! We  are a Part
of That  One  Great  Life  more  in advance  than  you. Having
306 DISCOURSE  XXII  307
set Ourselves  Free  ages  ago,  We are in a position  to help
mankind  today,  and the need  is imperative! Therefore,  during  this class,  the Greatest  Work  has gone
on of any  class  of the Messengers. We  congratulate  you
on your  harmonized  feeling,  on your  Love  and  Out-pour-
ing, which  makes  this  possible;  for outside  of the Direct
Attention  to the Great  Presence  of Life,  your  Harmony
is the most  important  thing. If you but knew  it, It is the Key

 but it is known that the pain-
blocking effects of baroreceptor stimulation are lessened during mental
stress. 9A 2016 study explored the assessment and treatment of breathing
pattern disorders in three patients whose musculoskeletal pain complaints
were related to trigger points, motor control adaptations, and muscle
imbalances. 10 The participants were treated using breathing exercises and
manual trigger point therapy. Breathing reeducation focused on a physical
exercise called the “clamshell exercise,” which is designed to alter intra-
abdominal pressure and prompt the patient’ s breathing reflex. Pain
decreased in all three participants, although it was unknown whether this
was due to impr ovement in diaphragm function and core stability, lessening
of tender trigger points, or the restoration of functional movement. 10
According to researchers, breathing therapy is not typically considered to be
as effective as physical therapy in the treatment of pain conditions, yet there
is clear evidence that it is possib le to achieve similar improvements in pain,
function, and physical and emotional factors with both techniques. 11
While we have so far focused on the diaphragm, both in terms of its
importance for functional breathing and its role in spinal stabil ity, it’s also
helpful to acknowledge other respiratory muscles. The diaphragm is
responsible for around 70% to 80% of the work of respiration under quiet
breathing conditions. The other  30% is performed by the scalene, external
intercostals, sternocleidomastoids, and parasternal intercostal muscles. 12
The scalene muscles are a group of three pairs of muscles in the sides of
the neck. They are called secon dary breathing muscles but are considered
by some  scientists to be primar y to respiration as they lift and expand the
rib cage during inhalation and are active at a low level even during light
breathing. 13 It’s easier to see these muscles at work during exercise, when
ventilatory demand is high. 13 Trigger point pain in the scalene muscles is
often associated with pain radiating to the arm, which is commonly
misdiagnosed as disc herniatio n or prolapse, neck pain, or carpal tunnel
syndrome. This type of misdiagnosis leads to mismanagement of the
condition which can perpetuate the existing problem. 14
BREA THING AND THE PERCEPTION OF P AIN
How we breathe directly affects how badly something hurts. Beyond factors
such as postural control and muscle tension, breathing pattern disorders canplay a role in the amplification of pain. 15 For instance, respiratory alkalosis
caused by overbreathing can induce muscle spasm and heighten the body’ s
response to stress hormones including adrenaline. These factors  combine to
create inadequa te blood flow and poor oxygenation of the tissues and
organs. One 2006 study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to
explore the way that hyperv entilation influences pain mechanisms. 16
Researchers found that low blood CO2 may affect the processing of motor
tasks and pain input. They discovered changes in the relative levels of
oxygenated and deoxygenated  blood, which they believed indicated
widespread constriction of blood vessels in the gray matter of the brain. This was thought to represent an acute reaction to reduced blood CO 2. Constriction of the blood vesse ls due to overbreathing stops the blood
from flowing freely to the brain and limits oxygenation of the tissues. 17
This has implications for the excitability of nerve cells in the brain and can
potentially impact both motor control and pain perception. Respiratory
alkalosis, caused by low levels of blood CO 2, increas es the sensitivity of the
peripheral nerves. The periphera l nerves send messages from the brain and
spinal cord to the rest of the body, allowing us, for examp le, to sense
whether our feet are cold and to move our muscles to walk. 18 This increased
sensitivity is what causes the muscular tension, spinal reflexes, muscle
spasm, and a much greater perception of pain, light, and sound, which are
all typical of alkalosis. Alkalosis can also cause mood swings, panic
attacks, anxiety, and phobic behavior,19 all of which can result in a negative
feedback loop of poor breathing and deepening psychological distress. The impact of hyperventilation  on the excitability of the neurons was
explored in a 1991 paper in Brain. Resear chers looked at the effects of low
blood CO2 on two condi tions that impact movement, paresthesia  and
tetany. 20 Paresthesia is an abnormal tingling or prickly sensation, like pins
and needles, which is caused by pressure on or damage to peripheral nerves. Tetany is a condition characteriz ed by spasms of the hands, feet, and voice
box; cramps; and overactive neurological reflexes. Tetany, which is
generally caused  by very low blood calcium levels, can also be the result of
severe alkalosis. Scientists monitored the excit ability of nerve fibers in six healthy
subjects. Partic ipants were asked to hyperventilate until paresthesia
occurred in the hands, face, and trunk. This occurred when the pressure of
alveolar CO2 had decreased by, on average, 20 mmHg. Spontaneous EMG
activity—muscle activity in response to stimulation by the nerves—
developed when CO2 had dropped by a further 4 mmHg. Neuronal
excitability increased progress ively in all participants as CO2 levels
dropped, producing a “statistica lly significant inverse correlat ion. ” When
neurons or nerve cells are “excitable,” it means they are generating
electrical impulses that transmit information throughout the nervous system. The changes in the neurons happened before any sensation of paresthesia or
tetany developed. Two of the subjects also perceived spontaneous bursts of
neuronal activit y to be pins and needles. The study concluded that the
physical symptoms of paresthesia and tetany induced by hyperventilation
were entirely the result of changes in neuronal excitability. 20 This is best
described as hyperventilation causing an imbalance in the electrical
equilibrium of the brain due to constriction of blood vessels in the brain,
and this causes the physical symptoms. BACK P AIN
When researchers looked for links between health, pain histories, and faulty
breathing, they found a much higher prevalence of dysfunctional breathing
than expected. Their 2003 paper published in the Journal of Bodywork and
Movement Therapies  examined 111 patients attending a clinic for
chiropractic pain. To their surprise, more than half of the study participants
demonstrated faulty breathing on relaxed inhalation, and three-quarters
breathed in a dysfunctional way when taking a deep breath. Nearly 90% of
the subjects had experienced some kind of musculoskeletal pain in the head,
neck, back, buttocks, leg, or arm. Based on their findings, the report’ s
authors commen t that clinicians can expect three in every four new patients
to have faulty breathing patterns. 19
As we already know, in a healthy body, the diaphragm dyna mically
stabilizes the lumbar spine, lowering on inhalation. Together with the
expansion of the lower ribs, this creates sufficient intra-abdominal pressurefor postural stability. In people with chronic lumbar problems, the
diaphragm remains higher and flatter, moving less. During inhalation, the
ribs do not move, and the diaphr agm does not lower to its usual fixed point. Consequently, the body becomes less able to regulate IAP, and the lumbar
and sacroiliac regions become unstable. According to a 2016 study from  the Osteopathic Centre for Research
and Studies in Ancona, Italy, people who suffer from pain in their lower
back and sacroiliac joint often have early fatigue of the diaphragm,
otherwise descri bed as poor diaphragmatic endurance, which can be caused
by overe xertion of the respiratory muscles. 21 Breathi ng too hard, a feature
of chronic, effortful, inefficient overbreathing, can exhaust the breathing
muscles. A 2004 research paper by Dr. Leon Chaitow, a well-regarded osteopath
and naturopath, explains that the core stability of the diaphragm and abs can
be compromised  if both poor breathing and a “load challenge” to the lower
back are present. 3 A load challeng e is anything that adds a “load” or weight
to the task at hand, which, in this case, is movement. Chaito w uses the
example of shoveling snow, but digging the garden, pushing a pram, using a
vacuum cleaner, and many other day-to-day tasks have the same effect. Results showed that, after only 60 seconds with elevated blood CO 2, muscle
function was reduced or lackin g in postural muscles and in the muscles
used for movement. This underlines the extent to which chronic
dysfunctional breathing can interfere with the body’ s ability to move freely. Although more research is need ed, Chaitow’ s results were clear: increased
respiratory demand compromises postural control so that the likelihood of
spinal injury is significantly higher. This is especially true during


disorders33 in his book The Border-land of Epilepsy. In particular, he
identified hyperventilation as a contributing factor. 87
One 2019 study describes comorbidities that frequently occur alongside
vestibular migraine88—migraine in which disruptions to balance, such as
vertigo, are present. Many of the study participants reported feelings of
anxiety, depression, and insomnia following the onset of vestibular
symptoms. Changes in function  affecting the senses, pain perception, and
muscle strength  were diagnosed, and some of the patients experienced
phobic disorders, including claustrophobia and agoraphobia prior to
symptoms occurring. In 42. 7% of participants, abnormal eye movements
were observed. This ocular disturbance is called nystagmus, and it causes
the eyes to make  uncontrolled, repetitive movements that can affect balance
and coordination  and impair vision. In the study, nystagmus was induced by
hyperventilation in 22. 5% of the patients. 88
Connecting the eyes with breathing is not without precedent. In his
1942 book The Art of Seeing, Aldous Huxley wrote, “There  is a regular
correlation betw een attentive looking and quite unnecess ary, indeed
positively harmful, interference with breathing. ”89 He went on to explain
that any improvement in the quality of circulation is immediately reflected
in better vision. Huxley, who had problems with his eyesight for his whole
life, tells how he saved himself from blindness when doctors had failed to
help. He connects quality of sight with better circulation and correct
breathing. Since  the entire body  suffers when we fail to breathe correctly, it
makes sense that the eyes would also be affected. 90 In fact, in extremecases, breathing-related visual loss can be caused by retinal hemorrhage, for
instance, in patients with asthma who experience a sudden rise in intra-
abdominal or intra-thoracic pressure due to exacerbations. 91
Ultimately, Fried asks the primary question, “Why do some people get
seizures when others do not. ” He maintains that epilepsy is not the result of
disease of the nervous system and that seizures are, like migraines, due to
arterial blood vessel spasms rather than a “massive dischar ge of neurons in
the brain. ” He suggests that the electrical dischar ge seen in seizures is the
result of the seizure, not its cause. 33 He confirms from his own resea rch that
hyperventilation precedes seizure and describes a method for biofeedback-
assisted breathi ng reeducation to reduce the frequency and severity of
seizures in patients who do not respond to anticonvulsant drugs. 30
SEIZING CONTROL OF SEIZURES WITH BREA TH
RETRAINING
The many links between CO2 and epilepsy—the influence of CO2 on the
electrical activity in the brain, the abnormal fluctuation in CO2 levels that
precedes grand mal seizures, and the abnormal levels of blood CO2 in
patients with petit mal and grand mal seizures—indicate that the gas plays a
significant role in triggering epileptic seizures30. While research into the
potentially thera peutic effects of breathing exercises is limited, some papers
do explore slow diaphragmatic and nasal breathing. A 1990 study looked at the impact of diaphragm breathing training on
seizure frequency. 30 Subjects were taught diaphragm breathing techniques
by an instructor who worked with each person, instructing him or her on the
correct moveme nts of the chest and abdomen. Where necessary, the tutor
used practical methods including  a book positioned on the abdomen to help
the subject achieve the correct movement. During the breath training,
participants were asked to practice a specific respiratory pattern that
resulted in an end-tidal CO2 reading of 5%. The breathing rate used to
produce this pattern was around 12 to 14 breaths per minute, approximately
the same as normal respiration. The study focused on two facto rs, chronic hyperventilation and seizure
activity. The researchers report ed that, in every case, patients presenting
with idiopathic epilepsy also demonstrated moderate or severe chronic
hyperventilation. The control group contained several participants who had
moderate to severe hyperventilation but did not experience seizures. 30
The results of this study produced considerable evidence to support the
theory that end-tidal CO2 biofeedback is “essential in the therapeutic
correction of abnormal respiration. ” Scientists reported that it was not
enough to adjust the rate of respiration. 30 Both statements are consistent
with the exercises in this book. The BOL T score provides a simple way to
get biofeedback about CO2 sensitiv ity, while the exercises teach reduced
breathing volume as well as a slower respiratory rate. In previous pilot studies, the same researchers discovered that patients
only became aware of their need to breathe from the diaphragm  once they
could see the difference in end-tidal CO2 compa red with chest
breathing. 92,93 The “knowledge of results” presented by end-tidal CO2
biofeedback is believed to play a vital role in the lasting benef its of breath
training. In a similar way, the BOL T score can be used as a measure of
progress when practicing breathing exercises. In the 1990 study, the breath training procedure caused significant
improvements to habitual breathing patterns. 30 In particular, participants
showed notable reductions in respiratory rate, which researchers explained
was due to the moderating effect of diaphragmatic breathing. EEG readings
were also interesting, normaliz ing, as a result of the breath training, in
participants with epilepsy. It was believed that the changes in EEG could be
due to greater blood flow and metabolism in the brain. Improved cerebral
circulation would be an expected result of reducing respiratory alkalosis,
which negative ly affects oxygen delivery to the brain. Conversely, a
combination of low CO2 and the ensuing alkalosis would be likely to
further inhibit oxygenation of the brain. Abnormal EEG  readings in people with moderate to severe chronic
hyperventilation are consistent with the practice of using voluntary
hyperventilation to induce epileptic seizures in EEG examinations. Remember, EEG  readings record the electrical signals in the brain, so they
will pick up any spike and wave  dischar ges or misfiring messages. Atypicalreadings are also common in migraine and are associated with hypoxia
(lack of blood oxygen) and the narrowing of the blood vessels in the brain. In the 1990 study, respiration training to correct overbreathing led to a
significant reduction in seizure activity in patients resistant to
anticonvulsant medications. 30 The number of participants was too small to
accurately concl ude which variables predicted the reduction in seizures, and
none of the patients was seizure-free after the seven-month trial, but those
who experienced grand mal seizures had none during the trainin g period. In
all partic ipants, the frequency and severity of seizures, as well as the type of
seizure, was considerably modified by the breath training. The researchers
suggest that the stress-reducing effects of diaphragm breathing were also a
key factor in reducing seizures. The study findings indicate that at least some forms of epilepsy go
hand-in-hand with a considerable imbalance of the autonomic nervous
system. 30 Whatever causes chronic hyperventilation, the result is a
narrowing of the blood vessels  in the brain, leading to poor brain blood
flow and metabolism, and predisposing susceptible people to seizures. Disrupting the blood acid-base balance inhibits oxygen delivery to the brain
and interrupts the reflexive relationship between the heart and the lungs. Diaphragm breathing exercises to correct hyperventilation can reduce
seizures by raising the seizure threshold. One suggestion made in several  earlier studies is that the link between
overbreathing and seizure activity may actually be airflow stimulating the
nasal mucosa. 94 Researc h has reported that when air is blown into the nasal
cavity, it triggers epileptic areas of the brain. 95 Also, in some  types of
epilepsy, nasal hyperventilation has been found more likely  than oral
hyperventilation to induce epileptic EEG activity. On a day-to-day basis, we spon taneously alternate our breathing from
one nostril to the other. Certain yogic breathing practices explore this,
focusing the breath in one nostr il at a time, a technique that scientists call
unilateral nostril breathing. Interestingly, studies have found that unilateral
nostril breathin g has a greater impact on the same-side brain
hemisphere. 94,95 Right nostril breathing produces abnormalities in the right
side of the brain, and left nostril breathing affects the left side of the brain. It is unclear what causes this phenomenon, but researchers suggest that areflex involving stimulation of the olfactory nerve by nasal airflow is
involved. 94,96
These ideas are expanded in 2016 research. Based on the same  ancient
yoga breathing technique of single nostril breathing, new evidence suggests
that altering nasal airflow between the nostrils can influence brain
activity. 97 Researchers observed that when nasal breathing was through
only one nostril, cognitive function improved. This method has also been
shown to trigger seizure activity in epileptic patients. The paper
hypothesizes that rather than vasoconstriction being solely responsible for

. She carried his vision and
made space for his brilliance. There is no such word for the
correlative male position, although husband  would be nice. Who is to hold the space for a woman’s greatness? In many
heterosexual relationships, a man is threatened by a woman’s
greatness, nding a variety of ways to make her question her own
beauty and strength. A secur e man is not threatened by a woman’s
intellectual or emotional power but celebrates the opportunity for
joyful partnership that it oers him. The conscious question is
whether a relationship can handle two stars. We must relinquish the paradigm of men as power with women as
support and instead embrace the image of both men and women as
powers, with each supporti ng the other. Any man who holds a
woman back is not a man a woman can aord to be with. A woman
has a mighty and sacred task to perform on earth. She will not be
able to fulll her function if she remains with a man who derides
her glory. Women are not powerless. We just pretend we are. We do this in
large part because we are afraid of the punishment inicted on us
when we dare to be who we really are. It’s a subtle form of
discrimination, but it’s clearly there. A few women are allowed into
the club, it seems: women who have allowed themse lves to be
partially decla wed, their sexual threat to the status quo diminished
just enough, so that men and women alike can handle the juice. Butan animal in the wild is not declawed, and an animal in the wild is a
beautiful thing. In the wild, we scream. We scream when we hurt, we scream
when we give birth, we scream when we come, and that’s just the
way it is. Now what kind of man can handle our passion, and what
kind of man can ascend to the throne next to a woman who owns
her own crown? A princess attracts a prince, and a queen  attracts a
king. Women who whine attract men who whine. Women full of the
lioness heart attract men who are full of the lion. And this is where women are now, at a place where, perhaps for
the rst time ever, people are remembering en masse our cosmic
function. Our love aairs are not here to serve an industrialist
machinery or a government system. Our sex is not for procreation
alone. Our love is here to spiritualize the earth. Both women and
men are in quantum fast forward. We are growing new brains. We
are using new eyes. And when a woman rememb ers her glory, a man of goodwill can
barely contain his joy. His real self arises in the presence of her
own. I’m telling you, it works, this thing, this looking within to
attract what is without. Make room for love, and it always comes. Make a nest for love, and it always settles. Make a home for the
beloved, and he will nd his way there. OceanofPDF.comFIVE
Sex and Soul
Be not ashamed, woman …
You are the gates of the body,
and you are the gates of the soul. —Walt Whitman
When the enchanted woman  has come into her
power, then and only then has she the inner strength to turn her
face toward someone else. Only then does she have the authority to
meet another person’s gaze and hold it. A lover is a high-stakes proposition. He, or she*, is the best of all
worlds, or the worst of all worlds. We have no capacity to deal with
another person’s power eectively until our own is pure and intact. Knowing this, we begin to understand the relationship between our
search for the self and our search for the beloved. For the Goddess
inside us, there is no distinction between the two. The lover is not
whom we hide behind; the lover is who appears before us as we
emerge from the shadows of our own delusions. A godde ss does not
go and “get” a lover; she is a true lover, and happiness gathers unto
her. Love is not something that comes into us from someone else; it
is an extension of our own minds, reverberating back to us in what
seems to be another person’s smile. A female who does not know  these things is a primary candidate
for wearing two emotionally wounded feminine faces: the womanwe call doormat, and the woman we call bitch. Having lost her
inner girl, she has for all practical purposes lost the experience of
her own innocence. She can’t remember why she is guilty, but she
has been eectively convinced she is not OK. And full of conviction
that she is far from perfect, she projects onto others—p articularly
those who have the audac ity to draw close—that they are as
imperfect as she and therefor e just as deserving of punish ment. This
is when the bitch takes over. She will do to someone else the
damage she is bent on doing  to herself. She will punish them as she
is so sure she deserves to be punished. On the other hand, since she knows she’s so bad, she thinks
maybe she hasn’t the right to do anything or say much or even live
at all. And if all she is, is a hotbed of guilt, then all that is good will
be seated outside her, and every so often it will seem to be seated in
someone she meets. That other person, then, is given all the power,
and the woma n will lie there, quiet and docile, martyr to the evil
that is rampant in her system. The classic doormat, the classic
wimp. She will have no power to speak or assert herself. The other
person will have taken it all. The other person has been given the
right to hold the whip and do the whipping. Yuk. How sick. Yet how familiar. Those demons are know n to all
of us, but we are not reading this now to get further acquainted. We
are here now to meet the Goddess, to hear her thoughts and learn
her techniques for meeting love in the light of day and fullling its
promises late at night. Let’s linger no more over problems in love, except where they still
need to be confronted. Let’s instead map out the Goddes s’s way, of
meeting a beloved and touching his soul and loving him with all her
miraculous power. We usually know a lover is on the way well before he gets here. As
often as we hear stories like “I met my partner when I least expected
to meet anyone,” on some level, we know that’s nonsense. A woman
in touch with herself can sense the coming of things, and the
coming of love is like a deer running through a forest on the way toyour door. We can feel a love approaching; and when we are in
touch with the Goddess, we prepare ourselves in advance. How do we do that? It is as if we were pregnant when  we are
about to meet a beloved: We are about to give birth to a new
creative force. The highest preparation is a strengthening of our
calm, a focusing of our clarity on who we are and what our values
are. The core values—the ones that feed the lesser ones as a river
feeds its tributaries—are those of love, forgiveness, and the desire to
serve God. We serve him to the extent that we have thoughts of
purity. Purity means that we do not manipulate or seduce or
preprogram or project hidden agendas onto anyone or anything. The Goddess is in her highest glory when we are in love. We are
also the most tempted at that time to spit in her face and mock her
virtue. Our highest work is to remember how importan t it is—for
the world, for our spirits, for the relationship itself—that we learn to
be a friend to our beloved and a spiritual companion to our beloved
and provide a sense of home to those we love the most Otherwise,
we can look great, smell great, and use our bodies like the best of
them; but without our virtue, we are whores and we will not know
love. Once we meet him, we’d better have our spiritual chops down,
because the attraction—his smell, the chemistry betwee n us—will
tempt us to forget the truth if it’s not a solid part of us already. If it
is, then there is no higher high than that of the passion ate love. I
don’t have sexually intimate relationships with women, but I assume
they are the same joining. I do know that when a woman loves a
man and opens to him and lets the spirit move her, the ride is a ride
to the center of things. Our bodies don’t just feel as though they
melt, they do melt; and our spirits don’t just feel as though they
merge, they do merge. We enter a divine room when the Goddess meets her consort and
beckons him to enter. Her joyful hello is often “Hello, again!” for in
that place we can remember that we’ve known each other before. How glad we are to be back whenever we nd ourselves in love
together. How lonely we have felt at times, and how ecstatic we are
to spend some time at home.How important it is to know  that he is as tender as we


 use them. The correct mental attitude is that
whatever is there will come through and need neither be started nor
stopped. Y ou do not have to know what is coming or what it will look like
but simply to have an open mind and let it through. Never even bother to
look at it closely, for if you do, you may think you know what it is, and by
that mental fixation you will make it static and it no longer will grow and be
flexible and creative. All that is great and good and lasting springs out of
the subconscious processes of the Secret Self, and when we are moved by
our greater mind we exhibit the talents that are ours. God guard me from those thoughts men think
In the mind alone,
He that sings a lasting song
Thinks in a marrow bone. — WILLIAM BUTLER YEA TS

Creative Labor

A thousand faces has the Secret Self, approached by a thousand doors, and
when one is opened and that face beheld, there bursts through the individual
a torrent of creativeness, a kind of supertalent. Partial is the human being,
barely aware, a surface manifestation of unlimited realms of subconscious
intelligence, but there is a path by which each of us may penetrate universal
mind, and when we do, we create our own talent, depicting for the world
some particular aspect of the Divine. No one is denied talent except by
themself. When they allow their consciousness to be hemmed in by the ego,they are unable to pull upon subconscious levels for the inspiration and
drive necessary to creative work. Unique individuality is the vehicle which the Secret Self uses for the
manifestation of talent, and is lar gely being stultified by our modern
industrial society. Our education teaches conformity. The industrial machine
needs workers, and workers must be predictable, and predictability, as far as
society is concerned, is best obtained by inculcating the same social
conscience in each person. Consequently, most people live a routine that is
not of their own choosing but has been selected for them by society. Their
opinions also have been given to them by the group, and they accept them
as part of the condition of their lives. All thinking is done for them. They
believe in the political institution that they belong to, the labor union that
they belong to, the state, city, and community that they belong to. They are
unable to make an objective decision about anything they encounter but
react to everything as it af fects their preformed opinions. This egoistic basis
for judging things is completely false and completely static because it does
not allow the individual to grow. Truth in some final analysis may be
absolute, but for the individual it is an individual matter. What is good for
one is not necessarily good for all, but neither is the good of all necessarily
best for the individual. As long as humans continue to live in groups, social conscience will
continue to have a distinct and necessary function, but such social
conscience must make provision for individual growth and responsibility,
for it now tends to defeat itself by making automatons of its adherents. Large industrial firms are finding that the idea box in the plant pays
dividends. When workers are encouraged to think creatively about the
business in which they labor, their mental attitude toward that business is
changed. They not only become more ef ficient in their tasks, but sooner or
later contribute toward the growth of the business. No one is built to put
nuts on bolts all day. That is the task of a machine. But a person may endure
such a job if allowed to pursue means by which it may be done more
efficiently. Naturally the worker will not be disposed to such activity if they
feel that it may result in their being without a job at all, but only if they feel
that they will be rewarded with a better job or a better income. The basic problems in industrial advancement are delineated by the
opposing forces of labor and management. Or ganized labor has grown as a
protection to the worker from exploitation, but its psychological position
has become static. It is lar gely opposed to advances in technology that may
do away with job categories, and “featherbedding” in all industries has
achieved such proportion as to be a distinct burden on ef ficient operation. The solution to ef fective industrial growth is not likely to be found in
organized labor, but rather in an enlightened management which makes its
labor force part of its creative ef fort, rewards each worker on an individual
basis, and allows participation of every member of the or ganization in the
fruits of that or ganization. When such industrial enlightenment finally is
achieved, there will be a unification of labor and management because their
aims will be the same, and each person will have a creative responsibility
toward their work. Productivity

Creative talent demands production. The displacement of ego in favor of
the guidance of the Secret Self results in our being driven to accomplish
tasks that heretofore we would have considered impossible. No mountain is
too high, no wilderness too broad, and the creative soul attuned to the
Divine labors and produces unremittingly. Thomas Carlyle wrote, “Even in
the meanest sorts of labor the whole soul of a man is composed into a kind
of real harmony the instant he sets himself to work. Produce. W ere it but
the pitifullest, infinitesimal fraction of a product, produce it in God’ s
name. ”
For the most part we are too inhibited and repressed to be able to express
the personality that is uniquely our own. The ego-controlled nature acts
always in accord with an idea of how people expect it to act. Since it does
not know itself, it does not know how it truly feels, but adopts feelings from
desire-goals rather than from the individuality innate to it. People who
endure all to make money are a classic example of repression andinhibition. They swindle their inferiors and fawn on their superiors, and by
this consequent warping of moral values so completely repress the Secret
Self that it is impossible for them to be creative or spontaneous in any area
of their activity. Making money is not an end in life. Pursuing the god
Mammon has only fatal results. But achievement is one of life’ s primary
aims, and achievement often results in monetary success. T o be what we
naturally are and to live and act as we naturally were created should be the
primary aim of each of us. W e have been put here on earth by a power
greater than we are; we have been manifested in our particular form so as to
reflect in humanity an image of the Divine. W e cannot reflect this image or
do the work natural to us if we become repressed by centering our
consciousness in our egoistic natures. Spontaneity is the secr et of doing things well. W e act in accor d with our
whole natur e when we do things feelingly instead of thinkingly. Reason is
valuable too, but it serves a limited world and a limited knowledge. When
we act only accor ding to r eason, we act with the bar est facts in our
possession. But when we act instinctively and intuitively, we act as an
instrument of the Secr et Self, and behind our action lie all knowledge, all
intelligence, all power. When you ar e spontaneous in your actions and in
your thoughts, you ar e being yourself, and when you ar e being yourself, you
are a hundr ed times mor e effective, mor e joyful, mor e creative than you ar e
when you ar e ordering your life in accor dance with the aims of the surface
mind. The consciously contr olled and intentioned person is suppr essing
their talent, for they ar e suppr essing the action of the Divine within them. No talent ever is exhibited by the conscious mind or ego, and someone
whose life is or dered by them never can be cr eative. Get into the Game

Let yourself go. Shake of f inhibition and fear, and be yourself. Learn to
think and act naturally, spontaneously; harmony and symmetry will enter
your life, and you will discover your inherent talent. Most people never findtheir proper niches simply because they inhibit the talent they possess. It
takes courage to go out on a limb and do the things that are natural. It is
much easier to sit on the sidelines, watch somebody else perform, and
criticize. Monday morning quarterbacks are notorious in football, and in the
world of art it has long been axiomatic that the critic is a frustrated artist. The American writer Fulton Oursler reported:

One winter ’s night, many years ago, when I was no mor e than twenty, I was
belaboring a typewriter in the newsr oom of the Baltimor e American. A copy
boy summoned me to the office of the managing editor, a bald-headed old
walrus with white mustaches like hanging gar dens and a perverse sense of
humor. Leaning back in his swivel chair he asked me:
“Do you play the piano. ”
“No, sir. ”
“Fiddle.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: What is the key to success, according to the author?,
A: It is not luck, but rather the absence of interference from the conscious mind, allowing the paper to propel itself towards the wastebasket.
Q: What is the primary aim of the ego?,
A: To dominate and control, leading to stagnation and failure

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and
rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because
it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in
anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed
down for many generations. But after observation and analysis,
when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to
the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”

	to	improve	the	commercially

produced	vaccine	is	now	being	made. Until	this	succeeds,	individuals	who	have

already	had	three	injections	should	get	a	fourth.) b. Safety	cannot	be	guaranteed. Naturally	the	vaccine	is	safer	to	the	degree	that	it

has	no	virus	(i.e. antigen	or	potency). However,	the	manufacturing	process	does

not	insure	safety	of	the	vaccine. Safety	can	only	be	determined	by:

1. Safety	tests	after	the	manufacture	of	the	vaccine. But	the	safety	tests	aren’t

foolproof. 2. By	surveilling	its	effect	after	it	has	been	given	to	children. The	Salk	vaccine	is	the	only	approved	drug	on	the	market	which	the	USPHS

constantly	surveys	in	order	to	make	sure	that	it	is	safe. If	it	were	intrinsically

safe	there	would	be	no	need	for	this. 3. Finally	part	of	the	defense	can	well	center	around	the	fact	that	vested	interests

(drug	houses,	National	Foundation	for	Infantile	Paralysis)	and	overcommitted

parties	(USPHS,	American	Medical	Association,	mass	communicators,)	and	for

the	most	part,	only	those	items	which	are	favorable,	get	to	the	laity	or	the

physicians. That	which	is	unfavorable	is	repressed	or	screened	out. For	instance,	the	vaccine	failed	in	the	Hawaiian	epidemic	of	1958. But	the

USPHS	stopped	reporting	on	this	in	their	confidential	reports	when	this	was

becoming	evident. There	is	much	testimony	to	this	effect. In	this	connection,	two	recent	items	will	interest	you:	a. A	four	line	item	in	the

Chicago	Daily	News,	Tues.,	May	5,	1959	London	(UPL):	"Dr.	Jonas	Salk

Tuesday	defended	his	polio	vaccine	against	attack	by	the	World	Health

Organization." b.	Chicago	Daily	News	5.28.59,	Duluth,	Minn.	(UPI)	"One	of	the

developers	of	a	new	oral	polio	vaccine	said	Wednesday	the	recent	use	of	Salk

vaccine	in	Israel	had	‘little	if	any	effect.’	Dr.	Herald	R.	Cox	of	Lederle

Laboratories,	which	seeks	to	market	the	new	vaccine,	suggested	the

ineffectiveness	of	Salk	inoculations	during	a	round	table	discussion	at	the

Minnesota	State	Medical	Association	convention. Cox	said	a	confidential	report

on	a	polio	epidemic	showed	90%	of	children	under	6	years	old	in	Israel	were

given	Salk	shots. But	the	outbreak	became	an	epidemic,	he	said. It	is	evident	that

the	vaccine	failed,"	Cox	said. The	Israel	epidemic	occurred	in	1958	prior	to	September. I	have	seen	no

reference	to	this	epidemic	in	this	country. There	was	an	item	on	it	in	the	Lancet

(a	British	medical	journal)	in	the	Oct.	11,	1958	issue	on	page	766. This	was	a

summary	report	on	the	Fifth	European	Symposium	on	Poliomyelitis	held	in

Madrid	on	Sept.	3	8-300. Two	reports	are	of	interest:

1. "Dr.	Payne	reported	that	Israel	had	an	epidemic	of	several	hundred	cases	in

1958,	affecting	equally	those	unvaccinated	and	those	vaccinated	with	Salk’s

vaccine	and	technique. Three	doses,	but	certainly	not	two	doses,	"perhaps"	had	a

slightly	beneficial	effect." 2. Commercial	vaccines	were	indifferent;	and	we	wanted	them	three	times,	and
	in	some	instances	six	times	more	potent	than	they	were,	especially	as	regards

Typell." Aristotle	suggests	in	his	treatise	on	Politics	that	the	electorate,	like	the	medically

educated	layman,	the	"user",	so	to	speak,	may	"turn"	out	to	be	a	better	"judge"

than	the	experts,	the	statesmen	and	the	political	scientist	on	the	one	hand,	and	the

practicing	physician	and	the	medical	scientist	on	the	other. Two	months	ago	at	a	polio	meeting	in	N.	Y.,	I	found	out	that,	in	Israel	70%	of

the	vaccine	used	to	immunize	the	children	under	6	was	Lilly	vaccine. In	this

country	Lilly	sells	the	most	and	has	the	worst,	but	they	seem	to	have	some	kind

of	a	tie	up	with	Salk,	Basil	O’Connor	and	the	USPHS. I	am	running	out	of	time. Under	separate	cover	I	will	send	you	all	my	published

writings	on	the	vaccine. Everything	I	have	written	in	the	past	still	holds. I	am

• Good re sults are achieved when treating a dis-
ease as grave as acute pancreatitis. 275 patients
with acute pancreatitis underwent fasting
treatment under the surveillance of Academi-
cian A.N. Bakulev in the Spasokukotsky clinic
in mid -1950s. All of them were discha rged in
good condition. Based on this experience, it
was concluded that fasting is beneficial in pan-
creatitis treatment, and our method is now
widely used for its acute and chronic forms.
10–15 days of water  fasting or 4 –5 days of dry
fasting are usually sufficient for a good thera-
peutic effect. The main principle of treating
pancreatitis is relieving pain, shock and
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frcollapse, and ensuring the functional rest of
the pancreas and its detox.
• There’s no other method besides fasting that
almost entirely relieve s the burden on the di-
gestive tract. Thus, it’s no wonder that it’s so
effective in treating different gastrointestinal
disorders. We can only wonder at the igno-
rance of our medicine, which uses expensive
medications, long -term examinations, and
surgical p rocedures (instead of effective, fast,
cheap treatment) that not only fail to cure pa-
tients but also turn them into people with
chronic diseases who are disabled and con-
stantly require medical services. That’s why
you should be responsible for your health and
start fasting to restore your appetite, excellent
digestion, and healthy and regular stool.

19.1.3. Dry fasting for diabetes
In my practice, there were only a few patients
with diabetes, because water  fasting is very effec-
tive for patients with type II diabetes. This is
what Dr. G.A. Voitovich, one of the therapeutic
fasting experts, writes on the topic, “Since diabe-
tes is a disease with origins in the nervous and
endocrine systems, its treatment with dosed fast-
ing is sure to bring positive results too  – it’s our
conclusion.
Moreover, we learned from foreign sources
that doctors in the West, Japan, and especially in
India have long considered diabetes to be one of
the diseases treatable with fasting. However, in
practice we rarely treated this disease in our de-
partment.
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frWe started studying this subject more closely
only after the all -USSR symposia on RDT when
doctors from Armenia, Odessa, and other places
reported on the successful treatment of even se-
vere forms of diabetes with dosed fasting. We
were particularly interes ted in the method used
in Yerevan, where patients with severe diabetes,
obesity, and gangrenous ulcers on their legs were
treated with several 11 -day RDT courses quite
successfully while still taking hormonal medica-
tions, but at 5 -10-times smaller doses.
Initially, we had only a few people with mild
forms of diabetes who didn’t take insulin. Dur-
ing dosed fasting treatment, their blood sugar
level dropped. During the recovery period, it in-
creased again, but it didn’t go far beyond the
norm. The general condition of these patients
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frimproved: weakness, itching, thirst, and in-
creased appetite were eliminated. One patient
with diabetes was cured completely at the initial
stage, and has not relapsed for over 25 years.
Doctor G. Sarkisyan from the clinic of endo-
crine diseases in Yerevan conducted 2 -3 fasting
courses for 10 -11 days in seriously ill patients.
One patient was threatened with amputation be-
cause of foot gangrene. After two 11 -day fasting
courses, all the diabetic tests (sugar in the urine,
sugar in the blood, etc.) improved considerably,
gangrenous inflammation was relieved, amputa-
tion was no longer required, and the patient
started to walk freely.

Now, let’s try to find out what a chronic disease
is in more detail.
If the vital force isn’t sufficient to fully recover
the bodily function to its former (healthy) stable
state, the body stabilizes its function in an inter-
mediate state between being healthy and being
sick. This intermediate state is called an indolent
or chronic disease. A chronic disease is charac-
terized by the fact that the pathogen remaining
in the body wants to stay there and develop
within it. In turn, the body wants to return to its
original healthy state. In both cases, the body
must use its vital  force and adapt to functioning
on the edge. It leads to activation of certain com-
pensatory mechanisms, and the body of a chron-
ically ill person keeps functioning in a more or
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frless tolerable state as long as there is enough vital
force to maintain them. As  soon as the body
can’t maintain the compensatory mechanisms
that restrain a disease, there’s a new relapse of
the disease and it conquers additional living
space. In turn, the body keeps fighting it by
forming new compensatory mechanisms, thus
spending mo re vital force on their maintenance.
As a result of the redistribution of vital force, the
body disables a number of minor biological
functions for the sake of survival. First of all, the
sexual function is deactivated because it requires
a lot of energy; the overall body tone decreases,
there’s early aging with accompanying condi-
tions, and the life expectancy decreases consid-
erably.
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frBased on the above -mentioned facts, the pro-
cess of healing the body is completed in stages.
First, the level of vitality is r estored through en-
ergy -saving mechanisms. It will transfer the
body from one compensatory stage to another
up to the last one (a state of complete health).
The transition from one compensatory level to
another will be marked by acute conditions: re-
lapses o f pre -existing chronic diseases that will
eventually disappear. Every patient can get rid of
any chronic disease completely only after going
through a series of relapses. After every relapse,
you will restore a previously lost function. At
first, vigor wil l be restored, and then the signs of
premature aging will disappear and the sexual
function will be reestablished.
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frWe’ve described what chronic diseases are in
general. Based on my experience, I prefer the hy-
pothesis of naturopathic physicians. Endoge-
nous body intoxication is one of the causes of
numerous chronic diseases, and it’s caused by a
disruption in the normal functioning of the gas-
trointestinal tract and liver. The gastrointestinal
tract is a common source of toxins. Food decom-
poses in the stomach and intestines because of
either overeating or indigestion, and a certain
part of the produced toxins is absorbed into the
blood. Under normal conditions, the liver de-
stroys these toxins, and the intestines and kid-
neys remove them. However, if the function s of
these organs are disrupted, toxins enter the
blood in such an amount that they overload
these organs and the body is forced to look for
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frsome other way or method of getting rid of
them. Have you ever wondered why the blood
from the gastrointestinal tract must first pass
through the liver before being distributed
throughout the body? Why are nutrients that are
absorbed into the bloodstream not spread
throughout the body immediately? That appens
because they are alien to the body and they
would immediately cause an allergic reaction.
They are transformed from ‘alien’ to ‘familiar’ in
the liver.


 foods” were truly whole and natural, they would contain all of  the water, fiber, and other vital components that
nature provides them with, and their sale would require no packaging or labe ls. (The profit margins would also dwindle, as whole
produce doesn’t carry the markup of “nutritional” products.)
No pill or powder that has had any of its water removed can properly be called a “whole-food” supplement, and anyone who
markets their dehydrated product as such is kidding themselves, as well a s you. The water in our plant foods is simply too critical for
our cellular health to be compromised, and no drinking water of any kind can eve r adequately make up the difference. When the
water is removed, the oxidative process that occurs has a degrading impac t on the nutrients that remain, leaving supplements far less
nutritious than their whole-food counterparts.
When people follow the nutritionally unsound advice of supplement s alesmen selling fractional, isolated “foods,” they shouldn’t
be surprised when they end up not feeling their best, with a naggi ng sense that “something” is wrong. This opens the door wide for
the salesman to then sell supplements to “correct” the dietary and n utritional insufficiencies their own advice occasioned.
I’m always dumbfounded when I hear about the money people spend on nut ritional supplements. It seems there is no high-end
limit to the amount of product recommended by supplement salesmen. In convey or-belt fashion, they roll out a bewildering array of
“newly discovered” miracle “foods,” while at the same time replacin g older products with newly reformulated versions. Such antics
essentially amount to an open admission that yesterday’s silver bullet, which they touted so highly, really didn’t work as well as their
sales pitch had promised.
Most of what comes from the world of nutrition these days is no more than sli ck marketing disguised as education, in the form
of infomercials and edutisements. The marketer informs the audience  that some nutrient is good for a particular condition and then
follows up with a strong push to convince the audience to buy lots of it.
Of course, the marketers neglect to mention that too much of that nutri ent is harmful in a variety of ways, not the least of which is the inevitable imbalances that result when we consume suppleme nts of any kind. Most supplements are concentrated from plant
foods, and despite our American “more is better” mindset, the body does not  appreciate these unnatural concentrates and has to
work to expel them similarly to the way it has to eliminate toxic residu e from cooked foods.
Like an amateur barber who finds himself trimming each side of the  hair to make things “even” until his client is bald, a person
who supplements with single nutrients (or any formulation or combinat ion of extracted nutrients) inevitably creates greater and more
confounding imbalances, whether or not the cause and effect are discer nible in the short term. It is always better to correct the diet
than to supplement it. On a healthy diet, supplements are not needed. On a le ss-than-healthy diet, supplements do not make up for
the nutrition that is lacking.

Is the raw food concept flawed?
Every creature on this planet has a specific diet for which it is desi gned. All animals get their nourishment exclusively from the
foods present in their natural environment—one food at a time, when th ey are hungry, until they are full. Simplicity at meals ensures
optimum digestion and nutrition. Animals do not use or demonstrate any nee d for supplements or condiments. Nature provides
adequately for all life forms, and humans are not an exception.
Like all other primates, we were made to function perfectly on the amount  of nutrients found in fruits and vegetables, in the
quantities that we would eat those foods whole.  Juicing, dehydrating, concentrating, and refining those foods introduce s excesses
and nutritional imbalances that our bodies were not designed to deal with.
I maintain that the optimal raw food diet consists of whole, fresh, ripe, raw, organic plants—in the 80/10/10  caloronutrient
ratio—period. The raw food kitchen need not include jars, bottles, boxes, c ans, bags, capsules, powders, remedies, potions, pills,
or tinctures of any kind.
So many eager new raw fooders find themselves in the unfortunate sit uation where some nutritional “guru” guides them to “the
world’s most nutritious diet” and then convinces them that the diet is  inadequate and requires supplementation. The ultimate
promotion strategy, this ploy is as old as marketing itself: First you cre ate a problem, then you sell the solution. How many mom-
and-pop grocery stores were vandalized by the very men who were the re to sell them “security”? How many people became
patients for life by following the advice of their medical doctors?
The problem, in the case of raw foods, is that people do not feel great when they e at insufficient carbohydrates or when they
continually under consume total calories. They experience voraciou s hunger, and they binge, falling off the “raw food wagon”
repeatedly. They develop uncomfortable and unhealthy relationships wit h food. Their health deteriorates as their diet becomes
erratic.
I choose to acquire my learning on any topic from organizations and individu als whose clear and explicit intention is to educate
me. I steer away from information sources that include an obvious and m otivated “back-of-the-room” sales table filled with
consumables and repeat products that will, if they have it their w ay, have me coming back for more … for years to come.
If the only way to be truly well nourished is to consume vitamins, miner als, oils, enzymes, medicinal herbs, white powdered
pharmaceuticals such as MSM, refined isolates such as lecithin, “super” foods such as algae and sea vegetables, and other
purportedly “nutrition-enhancing” substances, then the raw food c oncept is flawed.

Appendix C. Personal Success Stories with 80/10/10

Mark Squire, St. Petersburg, Florida
Back a few years ago, a struggling raw food friend of mine referred me to th e work of a guy named Doug Graham. I had
never heard of him before, so I began to educate myself a bit on the me ssage he brought to the table. My first reaction? “This guy is
a damned fool!” However, I had become so frustrated with my current raw f ood program (which was about 50% fat) that I was
willing to give anything a shot.
I started eating larger and larger portions of fruit, but still neglec ted other important aspects of healthy living. Now my initial
stance was solidified: “This guy IS a fool and his suggestions are ins ane!” Y et, for some reason, I continued on. Why, I do not
know.
Slowly but surely, Doug’s teachings made more and more sense. The more  consistently I applied Doug’s program (with a little
dash of Squire mixed in) I began to notice miraculous things happening. Not  only was my health improving dramatically, but I was
also getting stronger and faster, and my endurance was skyrocketing. I h ad been lifting weights on a raw food diet for three years
prior to 811 and had nothing to show for it. Roughly one full year later, being 100% dedi cated to keeping my fruit intake high, I was
nearly 30 lbs. heavier, all of which was muscle. Over the next year, I adde d an additional 10 lbs. of muscle, bringing my total up to
40 lbs.
The added muscle isn’t the main benefit of being on a raw food diet. The best part of the whole journey has been my childlike
energy levels, my blissful state of joy, and my ability to tune into natu re, all of which were amplified measurably. When I was about
to give up on raw foods once and for all, Doug steered me back on the right track.
The program isn’t easy, but with enough inner strength and per sistence, you will undoubtedly experience a radical
transformation in every aspect of your life. As much trash as I tal ked about Doug in my learning process, it’s because this 811
program was changing me down to the core. My belief system was threaten ed, and I fired off about him, as a defense mechanism. It
was quite a struggle getting to the point I’m at now, but now I see as  clear as day that Doug is an amazing person, and I have
nothing but the utmost respect for him and what he does. My stamp of approval is  all over this book, and all over Dr. D. himself.
Thanks a million, brother!

Cyrus Khambatta, San Francisco, California
I’ll never forget the first time I exercised with Dr. Graham. I was  half his age, in the prime of my athletic life, fueled by a
combination of years of soccer training and an ever-growing dose of athl etic hubris. I thought to myself, “I’ll show this guy what it
really means to work out.” It took only fifteen minutes to realize that I h ad completely underestimated Dr. Graham.
I was so wrong, in fact, that there was nothing I could do that Dr. Graham cou ldn’t. I was flabbergasted that a man as old as
my father could jump higher, run

semen and in the thin, milky ﬂuid that the prostate gland secretes into the urethra just
before ejaculation to prevent infections,”
• Sheldon Saul Hendler, MD, PhD – “It may also have some direct anti -viral effects. In

• Earl Mindell – “Selenium, a mineral with powerful antioxidant and antiviral  potential,
protects cell membranes from being destroyed by free radicals.”
Calcium (various forms) • LEF.org - “…revealed calcium elenolate’s formidable antiviral activity because it
inactivated almost all viruses tested against it (Renis 1970).”
• Sheldon Saul Hendle and Davis Rorvik - “Calcium alginate has shown anti -viral activity in
some in vitro and animal studies.”Antiviral Minerals

14Echinacea • LEF.org – “In the past 50 years echinacea has achieved worldwide fame for its antiviral,
antifungal, and antibacterial properties.” “Echinacea enhances the body’ s ability to
dispose of infected and damaged cells; it has interferon-like activity against viruses; and it
stimulates the white blood cells that ﬁght infection”
• Phyllis A. Balch, CNC & James F. Balch, MD - “Echinacea and goldenseal have antiviral
and antibacterial properties that can help to alleviate infection.”
• Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D. – “Besides immune support, Echinacea also exerts direct
antiviral activity and helps prevent the spread of bacteria by inhibiting a bacterial enzyme called hyaluronidase. This enzyme is secreted by bacteria in order to break through the body’s ﬁrst line of defense, the protective membranes such as the skin or mucous membranes, so that the organism can enter the body.” “The juice of the aerial portion of
E. purpurea along with alcoholic and aqueous extracts of the roots have been shown to possess antiviral activity. Some of the viruses inhibited in cell cultures include inﬂuenza,
herpes and vesicular stomatitis viruses.”
• Dr. James A. Duke - “Echinacea root extracts also possess antiviral activity against
inﬂuenza, herpes and other viruses. In a study of 180 people with ﬂ u, one scientist found
that 900 milligrams of an echinacea extract signiﬁcantly reduced symptoms.” “This is by far the most popular antiviral herb, and for good reason. Echinacea ﬁ ghts viruses in two
ways. It contains three compounds with speciﬁc antiviral activity—caffeic acid, chicoric
acid and echinacin.”
• Ralph T. Golan, ND - “Echinacea does stimulate nonspeciﬁc immunity and is therefore
by deﬁnition helpful against virus, and many people achieve good results with echinacea
for this purpose. Echinacea is both antibacterial and antiviral, since it stimulates
production of white blood cells. But while echinacea is an extremely well-studied and safe
immunostimulant, in our experience it is not necessarily the most potent.”
• Linda B. White “This herb stimulates white blood cell activity, increases the body’s
production of antiviral substances such as interferon, and helps immune cells engulf and
destroy invading microbes.”
• Thomas Bartram – “Does not act directly upon a virus but exerts an antiviral effect by
stimulating an immune response. Raises white blood cell count and increases the body’ s
inherent powers of resistance.”
• Gale Maleskey - “Echinacea has antiviral, antifungal, anti-inﬂammatory, and antibacterial
properties. Although taken internally, it can also be used topically on wounds or inﬂamed
skin.”
• Mark Stengler - “Echinacea, like some other immune-enhancing herbs, has a direct
antiviral effect. Even better, it seems to summon all the resources of the immune system
to help destroy viral invaders.”
• Heather Boon and Michael Smith - “Echinacea has been shown to have only very weak
activity as an anti -viral, anti-bacterial or anti-fungal agent.”
• Mary Dan Eades, MD – “Taken internally, it enhances the immune system. It stimulates
certain white blood cells and has anti-inﬂammatory and antiviral properties.”
• Natural Alternatives to Over-the-Counter and Prescription Drugs – “Root extracts of
echinacea have also been shown to possess interfer-onlike activity and speciﬁ c antiviral
activity against inﬂuenza, herpes, and other viruses.”Antiviral Herbs

15Astragalus • LEF.org – “Astragalus herbal extract at 300 mg a day can boost immune function and
produce direct antiviral effects.”
• Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D. – “The root of Astragalus is a traditional Chinese medicine
used for viral infections. Clinical studies in China have shown it to be ef fective when
used prophylactically against the common cold.60 It has also been shown to reduce the
duration and severity of symptoms in acute treatment of the common cold as well as to
raise white blood cell counts in chronic leukopenia.”
• Dr. James A. Duke – “If I had HIV, I would give it the beneﬁt of the doubt based on its
known potent antiviral activity against a wide range of other viruses.”
• Ralph T. Golan, ND - “Astragalus is especially antiviral (not in the sense that it actually kills
viruses directly, which is virtually impossible to do, but because of the ways it boosts the
body’s own antiviral defenses). Astragalus is used as an antiviral to decrease the incidence of colds and shorten their course (which research shows it does, typically by half).”
• Linda B. White, MD – “A revered overall tonic in Traditional Chinese Medicine, astragalus
rebuilds the immune system and is antibacterial and antiviral.”
• Mark Stengler - “Astragalus also stimulates the secretion of a powerful antiviral chemical
known as interferon, which prevents viruses from replicating.”
• Sheldon Saul Hendler MD Phd -  “Chinese studies suggest that astragalus, in addition to
boosting immunity and detoxifying a number of drugs and some metals, is also an anti -viral, a diuretic and a coronary artery dilator. They believe it is particularly effective in warding off ﬂu and some other respiratory infections.”
• Gary Null – “Current research shows the truth of this belief since astragalus is now known
to correct T cell (part of the immune system) deﬁciency and promote antiviral action.”
• Phyllis A. Balch, CNC & James F. Balch, MD - “Astragalus, native to Mongolia and China,
helps promotes the multiplication of the white blood cells that are vital for ﬁghting infection.”

16St. John’s Wort /
Hypericin• Phyllis A. Balch, CNC & James F. Balch, MD - “St. John’s wort has antiviral properties and
is a good antidepressant.”
• Dr. James A. Duke - “This herb contains hypericin and pseudohypericin, compounds that
are antiviral.”
• Ralph T. Golan, ND – “This herb is used as an antiviral (particularly with AIDS),
antibacterial, and possible anti-cancer agent, but it’s been in the spotlight for its
antidepressant properties.”
• Linda B. White, MD – “Many herbalists ﬁnd that this herb, usually called upon to treat
depression, improves appetite and energy levels and calms anxiety. And it’s antiviral.”
• Gale Maleskey – “Although its main use has always been for psychological ailments and
nervousness, St. John’s wort has antiviral, anti-inﬂammatory, and diuretic properties.”
• Sheldon Saul Hendler, MD, PhD – “Showing potent antibiotic and anti -viral effects in
recent studies.”
• Gary Null – “Meruelo comments that St. John’s wort’s “antiviral activity is remarkable both in its
mechanism... and the potency of one administration of a relatively small dose of the compounds.”
• Paul Pitchford – “The recent scientiﬁc discovery of antiviral properties in St. Johnsw
