 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


, he couldn’ t possibly be
a star. Those who look like our enemies, opponents, or competitors are
actually our inspiration to become a star. To envy  someone is to say that we haven’ t got it and we hate them
because they have it. We think it’s “out there.” We’ve got to stop that this
instant. They have merely disco vered it in themselves. All we’v e got to do
is the same thing in ourselves. There are all kinds of books telling us the
keys to success are self-confide nce, a winning attitude, and the like. These
are all consequences. These are the effects of those attitudes; they are not
the cause. When we have the keys to success, we’re going to be confident,
smiling, generous, extroverted, capable, and good communicators. OceanofPDF.comTHE ANATOMY OF SUCCESS
To discover the principles involved in success, let’s take a typical
business and tear it apart. Let’s look at one with which you may be familiar
and have had a lot of experience in your own life. That way we can go
through this exercise together with the absolute certainty that you’re getting
the point I’m trying to make instantly. I have noticed that some restaurants are smashingly successful, whereas
others fold by the dozen. The failure rate of new businesses is a well-known
50 percent. Of the remaining 50 percent, a large portion is really struggling
to survive. They make it, but nobody’ s particularly happy. Out of a dozen
restaurants, the likelihood is that not more than one will become a four-star,
sought-out, famous eatery. Obvi ously the owners can write their own ticket
anywhere, as can the top chefs. Top chefs who love what they’re doing
throw themselves completely and totally into it. They are eager to learn and
to share what they have learned with others. Their motivations are to please
us, serve us, satisfy us, make us happy, and to make our evening a success. The great and successful dance bands, the ones at the top (that even the
public doesn’ t really know about) are bands like the one led by Lester
Lanin. There was no event of importance among the social-reg istry crowd
that didn’ t have the music of Lester Lanin. It was de rigueur. Everyone vied
to get his orchestra; his band was booked for years in advance. One of the
secrets of his incredible success was he played music that pleas ed listeners,
that brought out the best in them. He didn’ t play to impress himself or to
show of f.When we listen to many other bands and orchestras, we can see why they
are total failures. They’re there to impress themselves with what they can
play. They haven’ t the slighte st interest in the audience’ s dancing or
entertainment. Just watch. They play a waltz and suddenly the dance floor is
crowded—everyone gets up to waltz. Then, to our utter amaz ement, they
never play another waltz the rest of the evening. Of course not. What they
want to play is their repertoire. They want to show off their versatility. They
want to play a fast rumba that loses half the audience right there. They want
to go into some  progressive jazz, which clears the dance floor altogether. They then want do some cutesy solos and a few weird numbers that frankly
would be better left unplaye d. It’s creative, no doubt, but socially
disastrous. It’s the wrong princ iple and wrong motive, as it reflects self-
interest and an unloving attitu de, and is unsupportive of life as it is
represented by the joy and the goodnatured pleasure of the crowd. They’re
not interested in pleasing the crowd; they’re interested in being stars. In
trying to reach the bananas, they miss them. I knew a man who was a very successful musician. He later had his own
dance band and made a living throughout the Depression. I’ll tell you, when
the crowd all got up and loved to hear a slow waltz, he played lots of them. He’d say to me, “This is a waltzing crowd; let’s go.” He would trot out
every waltz until everyone was happy and satisfied. If someon e else liked
the polka, well, he’d polka their heads off all night. He didn’ t have some
kind of formula that he had to demonstrate, which meant that he had to play
one different kind of music after another. How many people out there want
to rumba? Try a few places and see. The principle here is one of observation and responsiveness. How many
times have we gone back to the same restaurant and asked for the same
thing, only to be told they don’t have it any longer? How unco nscious and
unresponsive can they get? We say to them, “Do you have espresso?” “No.”
Or they give us the usual, “The espresso machine is broken.” If anybody
wants to make a million, go into the espresso machine–fixing  business. I
once found a town in which one out of three restaurants that advertised
espresso told me that their machine was broken. If people keep coming back into the same restaurant asking, “Do you
have diet soda?” and the staff keeps telling them no, they have the key to
failure: Be deaf,  unresponsive, and unobservant. Make it a practice never toplease the customers, and be vainly and pridefully resistant to any ideas
they might pr opose. In a town where I lived, I asked for ginger ale in practically all of the
restaurants—I mean restaurants with big service bars. In some  restaurants
I’d asked dozen s of times. More than 50 percent told me repeatedly that
they didn’ t have ginger ale. Now, can you imagine having a well-stocked
bar and not having ginger ale? They always said they had 7UP. So what? I
didn’ t want 7UP. I wanted ginger ale. After a while we get resentful, right? These people don’t care about us,
it’s obvious. They don’t care if we ever have ginger ale. They have no
intention of ever pleasing us whatsoever. They are self-satisfied. As far as
they’re concerned, they’ve got it made because they’re turning a profit. No
matter what it might be, they feel they have nothing to learn. From their
perspective they’ve already arrived at success. They’ve sold out at some
miserable little level. So they make $100,000 a year, big deal. To successful
people, $100,00 0 a year is peanuts. It’s nothing at all. I have hundreds of
ideas, each one of which is worth $100,000. So what? I don’t care how much money they make, these places are failures. The
reason they survive is because  they are there. If it’s the only Mexican
restaurant in town, of course people who love Mexican food are going to go
there. Why are they going there? Because there isn’t any other place to go. That’ s success? Phooey. You can have it. I’ve had the outrageous experience of having dinner in a restaurant and
being told that they don’t have  butter. I asked the waitress, “What is the
stuff that I’m putting on my bread? It tastes horrible.” She replied, “It’s
sweet butter.” I don’t like swee t butter; it’s horrid. It tastes like grease to
me. I want real butter. She told me, “We only have sweet butter.” I’d like to
know why they don’t have butter. What’ s wrong with these people? Are
they unconscious? Are they oblivious? Are they uneducated? The answer is
yes, to any and all of those questions. I looked at the face of the owner  of this restaurant, which was busy. After
all, tour buses went by there—certainly there was guaranteed business from
a tour bus. I saw no happiness at all. I saw no joy. I didn’ t see any radiance
of aliveness and enthusiasm for life. I saw a sourpuss. It looked to me like
he had a chronic ulcer and got migraines. I didn’ t care how much money
this guy had in the bank. This guy had settled for satisfaction. He thought
that satisfaction was happiness.Happiness is one thing; satisfaction is another. One can get satisfaction
from plunging the dagger into someone’ s heart and twisting it—that’ s
satisfaction. It’s unlikely, however, that this will result in one having a
happy life. Happiness in life is the way of holding success. It’s a whole way
of being with it. It’s a way of knowing how it occurred. When we got an
“A” grade in school because we cheated, was there happiness? Was there
success? Was there joy? Was it worth it? On a certain level, I guess, yeah,
we survived. We got through it. We passed. But there was no genuine
increase in self-esteem or anyth ing out of which success is made, such as
self-confidence, enthusiasm, and the joy of inner mastery. On the other
hand, if we studied for an exam and got an “A,” we felt pure joy. It’s
because it was legitimate. It was genuine. It was real. We knew


ded	the	internal	organs	and	developed	into

dangerous	chronic	diseases. The	following	table	gives	us	an	idea	of	what	our	present	faulty	methods	are

doing	to	our	race:

INCREASE	IN	KILLER	DISEASES	DURING	THE	PAST	70	YEARS

(1887-1957)

-Insanity	increased	400%
-Cancer	increased	308%
-Anemia	increased	300%
-Epilepsy	increased	397%
-Bright’s	Disease	increased	65%
-Heart	Disease	increased	179%
-Diabetes	increased	1800%	(In	spite	of	or	because	of	insulin)
-Polio	increased	680%

Never	in	the	history	of	this	country	have	preventable	diseases	flourished	with

such	wild	abandon,	continuously	being	fed	by	the	very	drugs	and
	commercialized	irritants	that	set	them	into	operation	in	the	first	place. Dr.	Alexis	Carrel
,	of	the	Rockefeller	Institute,	stated:

"Although	the	adult	individual	today	has	much	less	chance	of	dying	from

smallpox,	cholera,	or	typhoid,	than	he	had	50	years	ago,	he	surely	has	more

prospect	of	being	tortured	by	some	form	of	cancer,	afflicted	with	slow	diseases

of	the	kidneys,	of	the	circulatory	apparatus	or	the	endocrine	glands,	and	of	going

insane...Modern	medicine	protects	him	(attempts	to)	against	infections	which	kill

rapidly,	but	leaves	him	exposed	to	the	slower	and	more	cruel	diseases." —
Scientific	Monthly,	July,	1925

Annie	Riley	Hale
,	in	"The	Medical	Voodoo"	speaks	of	"medicine	as	‘a	system

of	healing	which	after	5000	years	of	trial	and	error’	is	describing	itself	as	‘a

science	in	the	making’,	whose	proudest	showing	to	date	is,	that	it	has	enabled	the

race	to	‘swap’	smallpox	for	cancer	and	typhoid	fever	for	diabetes	and	insanity,

may	still	be	worthy	of	credence	and	patronage	by	its	devoted	followers. But

what	justification	can	there	be	for	putting	the	whole	power	of	the	government

back	of	such	a	system,	and	the	public	treasury	at	its	disposal,	to	spread

misleading	propaganda	about	its	own	peculiar	doctrines	and	methods,	to	force

them	on	the	helpless?" Although	there	are	a	number	of	far	more	successful	and	efficient	systems	of

healing	in	this	country,	the	medical	system	is	the	only	one	that	gets	endorsement

and	support	from	the	government. All	our	tax	supported	Departments	of	Health,

hospitals	and	institutions	are	under	the	domination	of	medical	personnel. In	spite

of	the	financial	support,	public	confidence	and	full	scale	experimentation	and

testing	of	all	their	methods	and	theories,	the	medical	school	of	healing	has

utterly	failed	to	control	any	of	the	killer	diseases	and	doesn’t	have	a	sure	cure	for

even	one	of	the	mild	diseases. Smallpox	and	other	epidemics	were	largely

controlled	by	improvements	in	sanitation	and	nutrition	years	before	vaccination

became	popularized. Yet	a	tremendous	sum	of	money	is	poured	into	the	medical

coffers	every	year	with	no	accounting	made	for	its	use	and	no	benefits	received. Isn’t	it	time	that	this	squandering	of	public	funds	be	stopped	and	the	better

qualified	practitioners	be	given	a	chance	to	salvage	the	wreckage	before	it	is	too

late? THE	INSIDE	STORY
After	half	a	century	of	medical	practice,	Dr.	John	Tilden	made	the	following

observation,	regarding	inadequate	medical	procedures:

"Ability	to	cure	has	not	kept	pace	with	diagnosis,	and	today	we	behold	the

scientific	paradox	of	skilled	physicians	sometimes	knowing	exactly	what	disease

the	patient	is	suffering	with,	but	unable	to	cure	the	disease...Ability	to	diagnose,

but	impotence	in	curing,	is	the	true	status	of	scientific	medicine. "Clinicians	are	floundering	about	in	a	sea	of	speculation	and	uncertainty

concerning	cause	and	cure;	and	the	best	of	them	declare	that	autopsies	prove	that

almost	half	of	their	diagnoses	are	wrong." (Dr.	Charles	Mayo,	in	a	radio

broadcast	stated	that	at	their	clinic,	autopsies	show	that	they	get	only	20%

diagnoses	right.) "Every	part	of	the	body	is	represented	by	a	specialist. The	irony	of	all	this

professional	perfection	is	summed	up	in	a	few	words,	namely,	diagnosis	is	an

elaborate	system	of	summing	up	effects	without	a	scintilla	of	knowledge	of

cause,	and	treatment	is	a	stupendous	scheme	of	palliation,	with	braggadocio

concerning	immunization. But	the	question	will	not	down:	How	is	a	disease	to

be	prevented	or	cured	when	the	cause	is	unknown? All	400	or	more	so	called

diseases	are	nothing	more	than	expressions	of	our	general	systematic

derangement—states	which	I	am	pleased	to	name	toxemia,	or	healing	crises. Toxemia	is	a	state	of	body	poisoning—self	generated	or	induced	by	vaccine

serums,	drugs	or	other	poisons." ("Philosophy	of	Health,"	Tilden)

R.	T.	Trall,	M.D.,	was	another	doctor	who	gave	the	medical	method	a	long	and

thorough	trial	before	abandoning	it	as	a	failure. He	turned	to	nature	and	its

simplicity	and	upon	its	sound	basic	laws	of	healing	he	brought	about	miracles	of

recovery	from	all	diseases. After	trying	to	justify	the	inconsistencies	of	medical

theory	he	had	this	to	say:

"Why	has	not	success	in	treating	disease	kept	pace	with	the	extraordinary

progress	of	knowledge	of	other	sciences? The	answer	is	ready:	A	successful

practice	of	the	healing	art	must	be	based	upon	the	laws	of	life,	the	economy	of

vitality. The	only	foundation,	therefore,	of	true	healing	is	correct	physiological

principles;	and	here	is	precisely	where	the	whole	orthodox	medical	system	of	the

present	day	fails—utterly	and	totally	fails. It	has	no	physiological	and	biological
	science	upon	which	to	truly	practice	the	healing	art." These	are	strong	words	coming	from	medical	doctors	who	know	the	system

thoroughly. Medicine	is	a	paying	game—financially	speaking—and	for

successful	practitioners	to	leave	it	for	the	sake	of	honesty,	integrity,	and	idealism. indicates	that	these	cherished	qualities	are	lacking	in	that	branch	of	business. It	is	this	lack	of	correct	physiological	and	biological	principles	that	has	enabled

the	medical	profession	to	foist	such	an	unscientific	delusion	as	vaccination	on

the	public. VACCINATION	IS	BASED	ON	A	FALSE	PREMISE
The	false	"germ	theory"	of	disease,	upon	which	vaccination	is	based,	has	been

the	"blind	leader	of	the	blind"	that	has	dragged	the	medical	system	and	the

Impressionable	public	deeper	into	the	morass	of	confusion	and	disease. (The

germ	theory	is	discussed	at	length	in	the	chapter	titled	ON	FRIENDLY	TERMS

WITH	GERMS	in	Book	II.) However,	our	present	concern,	in	this	chapter,	is	merely	to	point	out	the

instability	of	the	nebulous	theory	of	"antibodies"	which	is	the	main	prop	that

holds	up	the	dead	corpse	of	vaccination. In	volume	6	of	T


ociety	launched	its	first	annual

drive	to	obtain	funds	from	the	public. It	was	an	honest	endeavor,	and	the

activities	of	the	Society	during	this	period	can	be	commended. "In	1945	the	Society	was	reorganized. A	group	of	influential	businessmen	joined

the	Board	of	Directors,	and	a	program	of	research	was	added	to	complement

education	and	service	to	the	cancer	patient. The	new	Board	of	Directors	introduced	two	features	into	the	activities	of	the

Society:	get	more	money	from	the	public	and	have	an	exclusively	layman’s

society	distribute	funds	for	research. "First,	let	us	consider	who	were	the	‘influential	businessmen’	who,	in	1945,

joined	the	Board	of	Directors. Among	the	directors	‘elected’	to	the	new	Board	of

the	American	Cancer	Society	were:	Mr.	Elmer	H.	Bobst	(of	William	H.	Warner
	Co.)	who	became	Chairman	of	the	Board,	and	Mr.	James	S.	Adams	(of	Lazard

Freres	etc. Co.,	New	York)	who	became	the	Treasurer. "During	the	following	ten	years	the	team	Adams	and	Bobst	has	influenced

decisively	the	fate	of	cancer	research	in	America. During	this	time,	Bobst	acted

as	the	owner	of	the	various	Warner	enterprises	(mostly	dealing	in

pharmaceuticals)	and	Adams	acted	as	the	banker	of	the	Warner	enterprises. (Warner	enterprises	have	recently	been	taken	over	by	Lazard	Freres	etc. Co.)

"There	is	a	record	of	Bobst’s	activities	prior	to	his	election	as	the	Chairman	of

the	American	Cancer	Society. In	the	book	of	Mr.	Wendel	Berge,	Assistant

Attorney	General	of	the	U.	S.:	‘Cartels,	Challenge	to	a	Free	World’	(Public

Affairs	Press,	Washington,	D.	C.)	Elmer	H.	Bobst	is	mentioned	among	those

who	were	prosecuted	by	the	Dept. of	Justice	for	violation	of	the	antitrust	laws. "On	December	17,	1941,	Bobst	was	found	guilty	by	the	Court,	and	fined	$6,000. "The	violations	of	the	law	of	which	Bobst	was	found	guilty,	included	‘the

hostility	of	cartel	members	toward	a	new	product	which	endangers	their	control

of	the	market...In	the	field	of	synthetic	hormones	the	cartel	control	has	been	such

as	to	be	detrimental	to	our	national	interest.”	(p.	81). "Among	the	methods	used	by	the	cartels	Mr.	Berge	quotes:	‘It	has	attempted	to

suppress	the	publication	of	scientific	research	data	which	were	at	variance	with

its	monopoly	interest. (p.	84). Research	in	U.	S.	has	been	seriously	affected	by

restrictions	imposed	by	foreign	cartel	members’. (p.	58). "Methods	to	increase	money	collected	from	the	public	met	with	success. In	1938

the	drive	brought	in	$133,487;	in	1950	this	rose	to	$13,916,	396	and	in	1955	to

$24,427,102. "When	a	cancer	drive	for	contributions	is	put	on,	a	scare	and	accomplishment

campaign	in	the	public	press	is	put	into	effect. Scare	slogans	are	used	such	as,

‘One	in	six	will	die	of	cancer,’	‘Seven	Danger	Signals,’	‘Woman	has	to	learn	to

examine	her	breasts	at	regular	monthly	intervals,’	‘Rapid	progress	is	being

made,’	‘Startling	discovery,’	‘Knocking	a	hole	in	the	tumor,’	‘Crash	attack	on

cancer.’	The	scare	publicity	whips	the	public	to	a	state	of	mass	hysteria. "In	reality,	about	one	in	500	dies	each	year	of	cancer	and	there	have	been	no
	significant	advances	made	by	the	organization	controlled	researchers	of	any

importance. "Concerning	the	distribution	of	the	money	to	the	right,	scientists,	wasting	it	on

sterile	projects,	or	its	use	for	corruption,	the	public	has	no	chance	to	advise	or	to

decide. "The	monopolizing	of	cancer	research	started	immediately	after	the	new	Board

was	elected	to	the	American	Cancer	Society. In	time,	it	was	perfected. The

public	accepted	the	new	idea,	not	realizing	that	research	money	in	the	hands	of

laymen	acting	without	real	control,	would	easily	be	used	by	unscrupulous	people

to	corrupt	science. "In	1947	a	new	institution	called	‘The	Damon	Runyon	Memorial	Fund	for

Cancer	Research’	was	created. The	Fund	was	successful. As	of	July	1954,

$7,689,218	has	been	collected	from	the	public. "The	main	promoter	of	this	Fund	was	the	former	radio	commentator	Walter

Winchell. Winchell	was	on	radio	time	paid	for	by	Warner	Co. The	funds	of

Damon	Runyon	Memorial	were	and	are	administered	by	the	American	Cancer

Society. Large	funds	were	also	obtained	from	the	U.	S.	Atomic	Commission. "There	was	an	intertwining	of	institutions	such	as	the	Jane	Coffin	Childs	fund,

the	Babe	Ruth	Foundation	and	others. Through	this	coordination	the	American

Cancer	Society	was	in	complete	control	of	public	money	spent	for	cancer

research. "Close	relationship	was	created	between	the	Society	and	the	National	Cancer

Institute	of	the	U.	S.	Public	Health	Service	to	which	the	Congress	every	year

votes	many	millions	of	dollars	for	cancer	research. "Dr.	John	R.	Heller,	Director	of	the	Institute,	became	a	member	of	the	Board	of

the	American	Cancer	Society,	and	James	S.	Adams	of	the	American	Cancer

Society	became	a	member	of	the	National	Advisory	Council	of	the	Institute. "It	was	now	possible	to	monopolize	this	money	for	projects	agreeable	to	the

combine,	and	to	deny	it	to	outsiders. "In	spite	of	the	financial	domination	of	Adams-Bobst,	who	had	every	year	about

$50,000,000	to	distribute,	there	are	independent	scientists	who	did	not	cooperate. A	way	was	devised	to	annihilate	them. The	Society	announced	a	new	service,

described	by	them	as	follows:	This	service	assumes	a	"watchdog’	responsibility

concerning	unscrupulous	attempts	to	exploit	the	universal	suffering	of	cancer	in

appeals	for	funds	or	in	respect	to	‘cures’	and	unproved	methods	of	treatment. "They	now	stood	with	the	angels,	wrapped	in	virtue. "Thus	a	layman’s	society	imposes	a	censorship,	self-appointed,	upon	an

important	branch	of	science,	promoting	itself	to	a	position	of	scientific	authority. When	this	‘service’	is	consulted,	it	‘warns’	people	not	to	give	money	for	projects

to	which	the	Society	is	hostile,	or	to	try	any	treatment	not	approved	by	the

Society. "$1,500,000	in	Advertising—In	consequence,	cancer	patients,	pronounced

hopeless,	are	deprived	of	the	opportunity	of	getting	relief	from	newly	discovered

treatments,	and,	in	addition,	the	ban	of	new	procedures	makes	futile	endeavors

by	independents	to	develop	a	new,	successful	method. "It	is	surprising	that	these	activities	of	the	American	Cancer	Society,	which	are

detrimental	to	the	public	health,	are	tolerated	and	even	often	supported	by	the

        Serves 2-4. SWEET SPAGHETTI SQUASH 30 Min. 1 medium spaghetti squash
1 tablespoon butter
4 medium carrots, finely grated
1 shallot, minced
lA cup currants (optional)
Vz cup water
1 teaspoon fresh dill (optional)
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
6If you prefer crisper cucumbers with fewer seeds, use hothouse (English) cucumbers or pickling
cukes. A FOUR-WEEK EXAMPLE OF THE FITNESS LIFE-STYLE • 185 Vi teaspoon cardamom
Vi teaspoon sea salt (optional)
lA teaspoon fresh ground white pepper
Cut squash in half lengthwise. Remove seeds, and place facedown in
vegetable steamer, covered, over boiling water for approximately 20 min
utes or until squash is tender. Cool slightly, scrape squash from shell,
and set aside. In large saucepan, melt butter. Add carrots, shallot, and currants, and
saute briefly. Add water, cover, and simmer until carrots are almost ten
der. Add dill, maple syrup, cinnamon, cardamom, sea salt, and pepper. Stir in squash and combine well. Simmer, covered, over low heat for 10
minutes, then remove cover and continue simmering, stirring frequently,
until all water is absorbed. Serve with Curried Vegetables or in place
of rice or pasta. Any leftover squash can be added to soups or stews. Serves 6. MAIN-COURSE SALAD DAY
DAY THIRTEEN—SATURDAY
BREAKFAST:
Same as Day One. LUNCH:
Continue on fruit and juice throughout the day, or have the Easy Fruit
Salad. *
DINNER:
Fresh Vegetable Juice Cocktail (see page 152), or 1 papaya, or 1 slice of
watermelon (1-3 inches thick, cut from half melon)
California Tostada4
EASY FRUIT SALAD 10 Min. 2 apples, cored, peeled, and sliced
¥i teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
2 oranges, peeled and sliced, or broken into sections
186 • FIT FOR LIFE 2 bananas, sliced
2 tablespoons currants
'/t-'/i cup fresh orange or apple juice (optional)
In large bowl, toss apples in cinnamon until evenly coated. Add oranges
and bananas. Add currants and juice, and mix well. The currants in this
salad are used to increase the concentration of fruit sugar. Since fruit is
sometimes less sweet than we'd like, adding currants makes the salad
more energizing. You can add currants whenever you feel a fruit salad
needs some extra spark. That extra spark is energy. Serves 2. CALIFORNIA TOSTADA 45 Min. 1 cup fresh or frozen carrots, diced
1 cup fresh or frozen string beans, cut into. /2-inch segments
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
1 cup fresh or frozen corn
6 cups iceberg lettuce, coarsely chopped
3 cups tortilla chips or 1 cup shredded Jack or Muenster cheese
Vi cup black olives
Fresh Tomato Salsa (see below)
Great Guacamole (see page 176)
Sour cream (optional)
Prepare the vegetables. Place carrots and string beans in vegetable steamer, covered, over boiling
water for 10 minutes. Add peas and corn, and steam for 5 minutes or
until all vegetables are tender. If using fresh vegetables, you can steam
carrots and string beans whole and then cut them. If using fresh corn,
you can steam or boil it whole for 5 minutes and then cut from cob. If all
frozen vegetables are used, the steaming time will be cut approximately
in half. Combine steamed vegetables in a large bowl, and set them aside. FRESH TOMATO SALSA:
3 tomatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
V2 cup red onion, minced
1 small green chili, minced (optional)

and remove skins, chop into very small cubes, and set aside. Heat oil in
small skillet. Add onion, and saute until it begins to soften. Add chili and
peppers, and saute, stirring frequently, until they turn a bright color. Stir
in cilantro and garlic. Allow vegetables to cool slightly, then add to
tomatoes in small bowl. Add sea salt, and mix well. Set aside. Assemble the tostada. Mix half of vegetables with lettuce. Add half salsa to vegetable-lettuce
mixture, and toss well. Stir all but 'A cup of remaining salsa into remaining
vegetables. If you are using chips, rather than cheese, place one cup tortilla
chips on each of two plates. Spoon several dollops of guacamole over
chips. Spoon vegetable-lettuce-salsa mixture over chips and guacamole. Spoon remaining vegetables over top. Add a dollop of guacamole and a
dollop of sour cream, if desired. Spoon 2 tablespoons of remaining salsa
over each tostada. Garnish with black olives and remaining chips. If you

2 tablespoons ketchup or Main barbecue sauce, and mix into vegetable-
lettuce mixture before adding it


, Chapter 120,
Florida Statutes. Furthermore, no hospital or health facility shall remove
the staff privileges of a physician solely because said physician
prescribed or administered dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to a patient under
the conditions set forth in this act.
Section 2. No physician licensed under chapter 458 or 459, Florida
Statutes, shall be subject to disciplinary action by the State Boards of
Medical Examiners and Osteopathic Medical Examiners for prescribing or
administering dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to a patient under his care who
has requested the substance unless the State Boards of Medical Examiners
and Osteopathic Medical Examiners, in a hearing conducted under the
provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, Chapter 120, Florida
Statutes, has made a formal finding that the substance is harmful.
Section 3. The patient, after being fully informed as to alternative methodsof treatment and their potential for cure and upon request for the
administration of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) by his physician, shall sign
a written release, releasing the physician and, when applicable, the hospital
or health facility from any liability therefor.
Section 4. The physician shall inform the patient in writing if dimethyl
sulfoxide (DMSO) has not been approved as a treatment or cure by the
Food and Drug Administration of the United States Department of Health
and Human Services for the disorder for which it is being prescribed.
Section 5. This act shall not apply to conditions for which dimethyl
sulfoxide (DMSO) has been approved as a treatment by the Food and
Drug Administration of the United States Department of Health and
Human Services.
Following passage of this new law, the potential for abusing it, spurred on by
paid advertisements of DMSO clinics as well as broad media coverage, prompted
the Florida Medical Association (FMA) to issue a statement in the form of a
“letter to the editor,” in October 1980, to all newspapers throughout Florida. A
60
Minutes
 television broadcast had stimulated an almost daily stream of inquiries,
both by letter and telephone, to the FMA headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida.
Most of the in-state queries were from the press, while the majority from out of the
state were from individuals with a variety of symptoms seeking a physician to
provide them with the “miracle cure” called DMSO. The FMA official position is
this:
Without an approved new drug application, the drug cannot be marketed or
distributed in Florida for indications other than the treatment of interstitial
cystitis. However, legally, a doctor may prescribe an approved drug for
other indications.
The Florida Legislature passed a law in 1978 which permits a
physician to use DMSO after advising the patient of alternative treatment
and any potential for cure. The law requires that upon request to the
physician for DMSO treatment, the patient shall sign a written release of
liability to the physician and, when applicable, the hospital or facility. The
physician shall inform the patient if DMSO has been approved by the
FDA for the disorder for which it is being prescribed in writing.The Florida Medical Association does not condone going outside of
the approved and responsible mechanism for the introduction of a new
drug. As a matter of fact, physicians covered by professional liability
insurance under the FMA-sponsored plan have been warned regarding the
drug. They will not be covered by the plan if they use DMSO for any
symptom other than the relief of interstitial cystitis for which, as
previously stated, it is approved by the FDA.
At the same time, FMA does encourage its physician members who
are interested to take part in the FDA investigational program in this and
other areas. Assistance is available for obtaining from the FDA an
Investigational New Drug Application (IND) plus sterile nonpyogenic
DMSO solution. In order to participate in this research, the physician must
agree to keep the necessary records. The DMSO solution will be supplied
free of charge and assistance given to the physician in developing the
necessary protocol.
As to the law passed during this year’s legislative session allowing for
the manufacture, distribution, and sale of a DMSO ointment in Florida,
FMA has no direct knowledge and no participation in any way in this
matter. We are informed by officials in The Department of Health and
Rehabilitative Services (DHRS) that they are in the process of developing
rules and regulations to govern the manufacture of such a product and that
at this time one formal application to do so has been submitted.
We are also informed by personnel in the DHRS that there
is a serious
question in their minds as to what constitutes a “safe” product for human
consumption. This question could lead to an Attorney General’s opinion
being sought prior to anyone being allowed to manufacture a DMSO
product in Florida.
Consumer inquiries concerning DMSO or any other new experimental
drug should be directed to the FDA Bureau of Drugs, Advisory Opinion
Board HFD 35, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20852.
Physicians interested in working in the experimental drug program should
contact the FDA Bureau of Drugs, Division of Oncology HFD 150,
Radiopharmaceuticals Branch, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland
20852.
On January 28, 1981, the Public Health Committee of the General Assembly
of the State of Connecticut held a committee meeting to consider whether the stateshould encourage physicians to use DMSO to treat painful and sometimes fatal
diseases. A bill submitted by Wolcott, Connecticut Representative Eugene
Migliaro would relieve medical doctors of their professional liability if they
prescribed DMSO. Migliaro explained that the public may receive DMSO through
the mail.
“We know that DMSO is not a cure,” Migliaro said. “And I understand the
things that can happen to you if you use it wrong. I’d like to protect it. This will
say to doctors, ‘protect your people without fear of being sued.’”
State Senator Regina Smith, Public Health Committee co-chairperson, noted
that doctors are liable for all other drugs they prescribe. She indicated that it
would be a dangerous precedent to exempt this experimental drug.
5
 The
Connecticut bill was defeated, but DMSO supporters said that they planned to
submit a revised version in the future. They did not.
I agree in principle with Senator Smith, but the FMA has gone to the opposite
extreme. Florida medical liability policies won’t cover the use of DMSO for
anything other than interstitial cystitis.
Between the time the FMA issued its official statement about DMSO and the
State Legislature of Connecticut introduced a bill to get physicians off the hook in
the event something went wrong with any patients for whom they had prescribed
DMSO, the State of Florida spoke up. James T. Howell, M.D., State Health
Officer in the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services of Florida, felt it
necessary to respond
on DMSO. Through the press Dr. Howell expressed a grave
concern that an industrial solvent-type of DMSO was made available for human
consumption. He was also worried about the veterinary product. He said that
neither of these had been refined for human consumption and could be extremely
harmful.
Two programs with a tremendous viewing audience broadcast over CBS-TV,
one in March 1980 and a repeat in July 1980, seem to have caused people to
throw caution aside. The public insisted upon getting hold of this painkilling drug
whether it’s surrounded with controversy or not. All that people want is relief of
pain whatever the cause. Interestingly, some prominent figures in sports, politics,
acting, and other occupations are submitting to DMSO treatment, too, without
regard to whether its use is legally admissible by the judgments and standards of
the FDA.
The various applications of DMSO in clinical practice and for home use as a
self-care remedy for such problems as arthritis, shingles, headaches, cataracts,
herpes simplex, burns, Down’s syndrome, spinal cord injuries, bursitis, sprains,and many other conditions, make it an ideal product. The various modes of
treatment such as skin applications, intravenous therapy, and oral and
intramuscular therapy are desperately wanted by the famous and unfamous alike.
THE NEW PAINKILLER BECOMES A MEDIA CELEBRITY
When Governor George Wallace traveled across the country to find pain relief
from DMSO administered by Dr. Stanley Jacob, this new painkilling drug got a big
boost. He began treatment July 1, 1980, to relieve discomfort associated with
paralysis.
Wallace had been confined to a wheelchair since he was wounded in a 1972
assassination attempt while campaigning for the Democratic nomination for
President at Laurel, Maryland. Doctors described Wallace’s discomfort as
occurring in the “flank,” a medical term referring to the area between the lowest rib
and the waist. While his pain was not excruciating, it was persistent and limited
Wallace’s everyday activities.
6
The governor’s flank discomfort reportedly disappeared, especially by
faithfully dabbing DMSO on the painful area from time to time during the course
of a month. As Wallace was a well-known public figure, his success in relief from
pain has had an impact on the promotion of the drug as a painkiller and anti-
inflammatory agent that works.
An even greater booster was the television news


system, coconut oil allows white blood cells to function mor e efficiently.
When a cold or flu first thr eatens, start taking this d rink with
echinacea at least four or five times a day.
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 to 2 tbsp coconut oil
1/3 cup gr ound almonds
2 mangoes, cubed
1 cup cubed cantaloupe
1.  In a blender, combine milk, oil, almonds, mangoes and ca ntaloupe.
Secure lid and blend until smooth.
If y ou’re new to using coconut oil, you may wish to start with 1
teaspoon of coconut oil and gra dually increase to 2 tablespoons over
time.Peppermint T ea
Makes 1 drink
This is my sum mer pick-me-u p drink. Mint is naturally uplifting, and
when blended with sweet cicely and coconut oil, the taste is delicious.
2 small sprigs fr esh peppermint
1 tbsp chopped fr esh sweet cicely or lemon balm
1 tbsp softened coconut oil
Sweet cicely ( Myrr his odorata ) is a sweet-tasting herb that lends a
mild anise flavour to tea blends. (It is well worth planting in your herb
garden.) Y ou can substitute l emon balm ( Melissa officinalis ) or
ber gamot ( Mondara didyma ) for the sweet cicely.
1.  Strip the leaves from the sprigs of peppermint and combine with sweet
cicely in a mug. Pour in boiling water, stir and let steep fo r 5 to 7
minutes. Remove leaves, if desired. Stir in oil.Y ou can substitute 1 tablespoon dried peppermint for the fresh
peppermint.
If you’r e new to using coconut  oil, you may wish to start wi th 1
teaspoon of coconut oil and gra dually increase to 2 tablespoons over
time.
Oil and  water do not mix on their own without emulsifiers, so
coconut oil tends to float to the  top of teas. Leave the spoon i n your
cup and stir the tea each time you take a sip.W atermelon Elixir

Makes one 9-inch double-layer cake
This could easily elbow out my 25-year -old daughter ’ s all-time
favourite chocolate mocha cake to become her birthday cake tradition.
The tr o pical flavours of banana and mango sent her over the moon
when I tested this r ecipe. Her dad loves it, too, so it’ s likely going to be
a twice-annual celebration cake.
1-1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas
1 tsp pur e vanilla extract
1/4 cup coconut cr eam or coconut milk
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup coconut flour
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup softened coconut oil
1/4 cup unsalted butter, at r oom temperatur e
1-1/2 cups coconut sugar crystals
2 large eggs
2 cups Mango Icing (page 174)
1.  Preheat oven to  350°F. Line the bottom of two 9-inch round cake pans
with parchment paper.
2.  In a bowl, combine bananas, vanilla and cream. Set aside.
3.  In a separate bowl, whisk to gether all-purpose flour, coco nut flour,
baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.4.  In a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the oil and
butter u ntil light and creamy. A dd sugar crystals slowly, beating until
well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, and continue to beat until fluf fy.
5.  In alternating b atches, add one-third of the dry ingredients and one-third
of th e banana m ixture, mixing well after each addition, until a smooth
batter has formed.
6.  Pour equal amounts of the batter into prepared cake pans, tapping the
sides of the pans so that the batter is evenly distributed. Bake in
preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into t he centre
of th e cake layers comes out clean and the layers begin to pull away
slightly from the sides of the pans. Invert cake layers onto wire racks and
set aside to cool completely.
7.  Meanwhile, prepare Mango Icing.
8.  T ransfer 1 cake layer to a plate. Spread reserved mango purée overtop
(see Ma ngo Icin g, Step 2, page 174). T op with the remaining cake layer.
Spread icing evenly over the top and sides of the cake.Y ou will need 4 to 5 very ripe  bananas for this cake. Y ou can mash
them using a for k or potato mas her, but for this cake, I prefer a smooth
purée, so I process them in a blender or food processor.
For both the cake batter and icing, be sure not to liquefy the coc onut
oil. This means you will have to watch the oil as it softens in the pan of
hot water and r emove it as soo n as it softens to the consistency of
room-temperature butter.
Coconut sugar crystals replace granulated sugar in the cake batter.
Look for raw, enzymatically active, or ganic coconut sugar crystals—they are low gly cemic and contain amino acids, minerals, vitamin C
and broad-spectrum B vitamins.Mango Icing
Makes 2 cups
If you make just the mango pu rée (to the end of Step 2), it is gr eat as a
cr eamy fruit layer in fruit parfait or as an accompanime nt to fr esh
fruit. W ith the addition of cr eam cheese and icing sugar to the purée,
this r ecipe becomes a cool twist on traditional cr eam cheese icing.
1/3 cup coconut water or plain water
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp fr eshly squeezed lemon juice
3 mangoes, chopped
1/4 cup spr eadable cr eam cheese
1/4 cup softened coconut oil
3 to 4 cups icing sugar
1.  I n a saucepan, c ombine water, granulated sugar and lemon juice. Bring to
a bo il over medi um heat. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring const antly, for
2 minutes. Add mangoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 12 minutes
or until soft. Set aside to cool completely.
2.  Usi ng a  blende r or potato mash er, combine the mango mixture with the
cream cheese to make a smooth  purée. Reserve one-third of the mango
purée for cake filling.
3.  Add oil to the remaining mango purée and mix well. In 1-cu p batches,
add icing sugar, stirring well after each addition to make a soft,
spreadable icing.Baked Peaches with Coconut Str eusel

A new age of cosmic energies, ripe with opportunities for
conscious choice and cosmic wealth, is emerging.  Each of us will cultivate fruitful seeds, for the harvest of our desires.  We

magnificent universe.  We are invited to remember that feeling
good, prosperous, healthy, happy, and infinitely free – is who we really are.  And as the au thors of our lives, the heirs of

 lack  of  cognizance  with  which
dairy  products  are  cultivated  and  prepared.  A  pure
organic  yogurt  always  boasts  a  creamy  top  layer  called
malax.  It  is  one  of  the  most  exquisite  tastes  a  human
may  experience.  The  bulk  of  a  cow  or  buffalo  is  evi-
dence of  milk's  building  capacity.  The  milk  of  the
lithe  and  supple  goat  is  much  more  pungent.  That  is
why  goat's  milk  is  recommended  for  occasional  use by  the  Kapha  type.
Even  the  homeland  of  the  Vedas  is  losing  its
sadhana,  its  wholesome  connection  to  the  knowledge
of  earth.  Recently,  India  has  submerged  itself  in  the
excessive  use  of  milk  in  every  conceivable  kind  of
food.  A  potent  food  that  is  meant  to  remain  a  subtle
part  of  our  physical  diet  should  never  be  abused,  and
milk  is  the  most  abused  food  in  the  world  today.  Each
food  has  its  specific  quantitative  use.  We  must  seek  to
learn  this  vital  secret  of  life.  No  food  is  meant  to  DC
used  as  a  mono-diet — not  even  grains,  and  definitely
not  milk.  Cheese  was  never  part  ol  the  Vedk  culture
because  it  incorporates  the  use  ol  two  incompatible
elements,  milk  and  salt.  The  farthesl  acceptable  de
parture  from  milk's  sweet  taste  was  found  in  yogurt,
where  a  mellow  sour  taste  was  induced  to  help  as
similate  bodily  minerals.  Wholesome  combinations
and  variety  are  the  Vedic  secret  to  good  health.  These
healthful  quantities  and  varieties  are  recommended
in  the  Ayurvedic  food  energetics  sections.

her  calf,  who  nurses  for  approximately  four  months,
and  continues  to  produce  milk  for  an  additional  three
to  four  months.  The  extra  portion  of  milk  is  to  be
used  by  humans.  For  Pitta  and  Vata  types,  the  equiva-
lent of  one  glass  per  day  is  recommended.  Kapha
types  should  not  use  cow's  milk.  Pitta  will  mostly  use
cool  milk  during  the  summer  season  to  buffer  the
acids  produced  by  the  heat's  natural  pungency.  Vata
types  will  use  warm  milk  to  build  their  immunity,
fortify  their  nervous  system,  and  build  muscular  and
tissue  strength  through  the  depleting  fall  and  rainy
seasons.  Milk  may  be  used  by  mothers  (all  three
doshas)  who  are  breast-feeding.  All  children  may  use
the  equivalent  of  a  glass  of  milk  per  day,  unless  the
child  is  lactose  intolerant.  Be  especially  discerning
with  the  use  of  milk  if  you  have  not  used  it  for  a  long
period  or  if  your  ancestors  did  not  use  it.
Because  of  the  immense  tampering  with  our  foods,
the  very  types  who  would  otherwise  benefit  from
certain  foods  are  now  becoming  allergic  to  those  foods.
The  excessive  use  of  antibiotics  in  our  culture  has
brought  on  a  high  incidence  of  Candida  yeast  and
vaginitis  in  many  Pitta  women.  Thus,  wheat,  which  is
the  primary  grain  for  fire  people,  cannot  be  used  by
them  because  of  the  proliferation  of  yeast  in  their
bodies.  Similarly,  the  predominantly  Vata  and  Pitta
people  are  now  the  ones  who — as  we  have  said — are
becoming  lactose  intolerant.  The  original  intent  of
nature  was  to  provide  milk  as  a  salve  to  regulate  the
digestive  fires  of  Pitta  and  to  boost  the  anabolic  pro-
cessing of  Vata.

It  is  promotive  of  memory,  intelligence,

Ghee  is  one  of  the  most  ancient  and  sattvic  foods
known.  Used  judiciously,  it  is  ideal  for  cooking  as  it
does  not  burn  unless  heated  excessively.  It  synergizes Preparing  Ghee — Sadhana  to  Induce  Sattvic  Mind
with  the  food  nutrients  and  nourishes  the  bodily
constituents.  It  also  serves  as  a  base  for  herbal  oint-
ments to  treat  burns,  skin  rashes,  and  other  such
conditions.  Ghee  is  good  for  all  doshas  and  is  a  spe-
cific for  Pitta.  Minimal  use  is  recommended  for  Kapha
types. Ghee  keeps  indefinitely  without  refrigeration,  as
the  elements  that  cause  butter  to  spoil  have  been
removed.  Just  remember  to  keep  it  covered  and  free
from  water  or  any  other  contaminants.  Always  dip

1  stainless  steel  spoon
Sterilize  the  storage  jar,  pan,  and  a  spoon  in  advance
by  filling  with  (or  immersing  in)  boiling  water.  Cook
the  butter  gently  over  moderate  heat  for  approxi-

during  the  heating  process  to  settle  on  the  bottom  of
the  pan  as  sediment.  Watch  carefully  to  avoid  burning
and  stir  occasionally.  When  the  ghee  begins  to  boil
silently,  with  only  a  trace  of  air  bubbles  on  the  sur-
face, it  is  done.  Allow  to  cool  and  pour  ghee  into  a

calling them.
We have  witness ed miracles many times. And the trap is to think that you
are the one who brought about the miracle. There is no person  doing any
miracles. The potentiation occurs when a certain energy field arises. It only
happens when all the conditions are appropriate, including karmic
conditions. Whe n the apple is ready, it falls from the tree. Now the apple
doesn’ t cause itself to fall from  the tree. There’ s the field of gravity. So
within the spirit ual aura of an advanced teacher, phenomena that are due to
occur karmically and for many reasons may be facilitated, but there’ s no
personal self “doing” a cause-and-ef fect miraculous cure. You witnessed
phenomena happen. You are the witness of them. And one is aware that yes,
the energy field could exhilarate a propensity, but that karmic propensity is
within the person himself. And all one did was facilitate it.
For exam ple, a person who is very sick and disabled will sit down next to
you, and then you can feel this energy move over in their doma in, and then
they’ll get up and walk away. Well, you’re aware it wasn’ t you that removed
the illness, it was the energy, the Kundalini energy. Because of previous
spiritual work that brought abou t an inner honesty and awareness, you just
witnessed the phenomenon. It was the unfolding of potentiality emer ging as
a consequence of the energy fields surrounding it, which potentialized it.
The Kundalini energy, by virtue of its own nature, is what is transformative
and accomplishes the miraculous, not the personal you.
Everybody needs a teacher to warn them of this. Miracle workers are a
dime a dozen. When the miracle came on, it was a phenomenon. Then the
personal self took credit for that. Then the ego got exaggerated. Now they
don’t have that miraculous power anymore, but they don’t want the world
to know that, so they’ve learned how to fake it. And for one of the most
famous gurus of recent times in India, the phenomena occurred
spontaneously in the beginning. Then he claimed credit for it. Then he
brought great throngs. They brought great money. Then he began to learn
how to fake that which had before been autonomous. That’ s a very subtle
thing. It’ s happened to more than one guru.
SPIRITUAL TRUTHNow we’re going to talk about spiritual truth. There are many false
teachers in the world, and I was quite amazed when I discovered  how many
there were. I mean, lots who are world famous. Since you’re putting your
eternal soul in the hands of a teacher, you better know who that teacher is. I
wouldn’ t be so careless. You’re talking about your eternal  soul, the karmic
perpetuation throughout all of time, and you’re going to put this in some
flashy ad, go and get your aura read by Mr. So-and-So on the other side? Of
course, you have to turn over all your property to him as well. You get a
reading from master so-and-so through him, and it only costs you $5,000
for your granddaughter, except you don’ t have a granddaughter!
These gurus fell because their instructors did not instruct them of the
downside. So in my lectures, we constantly go over: What is the downside
of each level of consciousness? Where is the trap? People say, “I’m beyond
that.” You’re not beyond that at all. From 850 and up, it’s very difficult.
And the Buddha acknowledged that; he said, “I felt like my bones are being
broken,” becaus e the demons are looking for any weakness in your psyche.
There are charac teristics of spiritual truth that will carry you through if you
know of them; you don’t need a list of what they calibrate (though that’s
very handy). But if you know certain basics, it’s more important to
understand the basics. Truth is true at all times and places, independent of
the culture, personalities, or circumstances.
Truth is always true, no matter what. So if we calibrate the Chartres
cathedral, the calibration is the same no matter what. Truth is true at all
times and places. It is not exclusionary; it’s all inclusive, non-se cretive, and
non-sectarian. Nobody owns  truth. One of the biggest traps is provisional
love. There’ s energy of love—y ou become quite attractive to other people,
and they will interpret it as love. People will fall in love with you all over
the place. There was a period of time when I got propositioned a couple of
times a day. And I didn’ t have a teacher to warn me. I knew the integrity of
it was being tested. Many fall for that one. And then glamor— we weren’ t
allowed to use the word guru  in my book. Every time we would ask, it said,
“No.” The word has come to mean something different than what it
originally meant, because it was being exploited. Wealth, fame, having lots
of follow ers... all those things are temptations to the spiritual ego to
consider yoursel f important. And you see how those spiritual egos throw it
right back into a personal self, right away. The minute you think it’s you,
you just lost it.Truth is true everywhere; it excludes no one, is available and open to all.
There are no secrets to be revea led, hidden, or sold—no magical formulas
or mysteries. That is the truth. When we see an ancient secret being
peddled, it’s always for a price, and you know that you’re being held up by
a spiritual conman.
Truth to be truth is truth all the time: foreverness. And how could it be
the exclusive property of someone? It’s available and open to all. It has an
integrity of purpose—there’ s nothing to gain or lose. It’s nonsectarian;
Truth is not the exposition of a limitation. Independent of opinion, truth is
nonlinear. There fore, it is not subject to the limitations of intellect or form.
Truth is independent of opinion. Devoid of positionality, truth is not anti-
anything. Why is that? Because truth has no opposite. You might say the
opposite of truth is absence. Falsehood has no reality. There’ s truth and then
there’ s the absence of truth, and we call the absence of truth, falsehood.
It’s just like light and darkness. Light is either present or not present.
There are no requirements or demands, no memberships, dues, fees,
regulations, oaths, rules, or conditions. And it doesn’ t circularize
everybody, askin g for donations. It is non-controlling. Spiritual purity has
no intere st in the personal lives  of the aspirants, in their clothing or dress,
their style, their sex life, their economics, their family patterns, their
lifestyle, or their dietary habits. It is free of force or intimida tion. When
people are threa tened in their spiritual groups, or belong to the sect, there
are recriminations if they try to get out of it. Sometimes punishment is quite
severe. When there’ s truth, there’ s no force or intimidation, no
brainwashing or adulation of the leaders, no training rituals. Watch out for
training rituals—that’ s the call of brainwash by which you’re indoctrinated.
If you know the truth, what do you need to be trained? Do not take any
oaths. Do not pledge anything. “And if I fail to break these oaths, may such
and such happen to me...” Never take such a vow. Truth is freedom; being
free to come and go without persuasion, coercion, intimidation, or
consequences. There is no hierarchy, and instead there is voluntary
fulfillment of practical necessities and duties. Everyone I work with does
what they do because that’ s what needs to be done.
If you do have a leader or peop le whom you honor, it’s because of what
one has become, rather than as a result of some title or trapping. You
recognize truth when you see it. I respect all that exists because of the
essence of that which they are, which I sense right away. Therefore, yougive respect to the little beetle walking along, give respect to the animals,
give respect to the polar bear. You give respect to all that exists by virtue of
that which it is.
The essence of the thing is that which it is. And what does a thing mean?
What a thing means is what it is. What it is, is what it means. That’ s hard to
see. But then you get the essence of it. What this thing means is what it is.
You don’t have to add adjective s, adverbs, languaging; it speaks for itself
by virtue of its existence. So, a teacher should speak for himsel f because of
the reality of that which it is. That which it is, not that which is spoken
about. It’s not materialistic, not the neediness of worldly wealth  and all the
stuff that goes with it.
Inspirational truth avoids glamorization, seduction, and theat rics. I’ve

   Romaine lettuce and celery are good additions to fruit meals without violating
proper combining; or a larger green salad would be preferable for a more complete
nutritional balance. The salad can be pureed in a blender for those with chewing
difficulties.    The following are a number of sample menus and are intended as guides to help you
understand the food combining principles and allow you to plan and create your own menus. It is important not to establish inflexible menus with little variety; anything by
rote will become monotonous. You should learn to make meals from whatever is on
hand. Believe it or not, you can create vegetarian culinary masterpieces after a while,
just as we have done at home. It is not only a challenge, it is fun. It is important to
keep the meals simple, but there are times you might want some fancy vegetarian dish such as eggplant parmigiana, steamed cauliflower au gratin, lentil loaf with
vegetables, mashed potatoes and corn casserole, vegetable chop suey, corn or rice
stuffed peppers, various steamed vegetable stews, stuffed cabbage with rice and
vegetables, etc. You can take almost any standard recipe from any book and convert it to a vegetarian dish without violating the principles of food combining.
   Remember, the most basic and important part of a meal is the fresh, raw natural
foods. They take preference over cooked foods and should be the largest part of the
meal, preventing you from overeating the cooked foods.
   Once you have become familiar with food combining, the practice will become
automatic and you will not have to spend much time on it. However, don't become a
neurotic on the subject; don't split hairs. If you're out with friends, eat your meal,
enjoy it, and forget it. Don't give lectures at the dining table. Everything can't be
perfect, and if some combinations are not just right, you'll find that after you have
finished the meal you will still be alive. Too many people are so busy analyzing their
food and their bowel movements that life passes them by. Don't become one of them.
BREAKFASTS

   Ideally, and contrary to "popular opinion," it is better to omit breakfast. We don't
need all the food we think we do and this limits overeating. However, if you desire breakfast then by all means eat it. Chil dren are growing, so they should have
breakfast. But after your body adjusts itself to this type of diet (and there is an
adjustment, be it some initial weight loss or whatever), try omitting breakfast once in
a while. You may be pleasantly surprised at how much better you will feel.
LUNCHES
   These can be fruit-type meals as cove red under breakfasts or vegetable-type meals
as will be listed. I feel that the majority of lunches should be the vegetable-type with
emphasis on the ever-important salads with lots of Romaine lettuce and other life-giving greens.
   When the term "salad" is used, it is understood to include (depending on whether a
protein or a starch meal is to be eaten) a large and abundant variety of raw, fresh
vegetables, such as: plenty of Romaine and/ or leaf lettuce, celery, cucumber, carrots,
sweet pepper, cabbage, tomatoes, fresh sprouts, avocado, cauliflower, fresh peas, and whatever else you might want to toss into it. The salad should be eaten whole and
uncut, but if you prefer a tossed salad, then alternate between the two. When you chop the vegetables, they are more quickly oxidized and lose some of their nutritive values.

SUPPER
   This can be similar to the lunches with emphasis on the raw salads; however, you
may switch the meals around if you prefer--e.g., the breakfasts can become suppers if
you prefer fruit at that time. The important fact is that you eat a well-rounded and
balanced variety of all the food types during the course of a day.

   If you don't wish to give up flesh foods just yet, then substitute meat or fish
occasionally where the meal calls for protein, but don't eat any flesh foods with fruit
or starches.
   Again, for a well-rounded nutritional impact, you may use a fresh green (non-
starch) salad to be eaten before any me al containing fruit. If there's a chewing
problem, put the salad in a blender and puree it. In fact, for anyone with a chewing
problem, use the blended salad at any meal.
   The varieties of foods are unlimited and you should have no problem enjoying your
creations; and if you can, take that 36-hour fast once a week.
   I've tried to give you some basic principles, some tools with which to rebuild your
life, enjoy vigorous health, and probably even add a few years to a life which is all too
short. You must read and you must analyze, but most important and perhaps the most difficult thing for you to do first is to change your way of thinking--flexibility and
open-mindedness.
   There were many men in past history who were so far ahead of their time as to be
ridiculed by their peers and others. I should like to quote from some of these famous people:
   William Shakespeare--"They are as sick that surfeit with too much, as they that
starve with nothing."
   Thomas Edison--"Natural foods will be the medicine of the future."
   Oliver Wendell Holmes, M.D. (poet, novelist, physician)--In his address to the
Massachusetts Medical Society, May 30, 1860: "I firmly believe that if all the (drugs
and medicines) as now used could be sunk to the bottom of the sea, it would be all the
better for mankind and all the worse for the fishes."
   Benjamin Franklin--"He is the best physician that knows the worthlessness of most
medicines." Also, "A full belly is the mother of all evil." Finally, "Many dishes, many
diseases. Many medicines, few cures."
   Dr. Keki Sidhwa, one of our Natura l Hygiene professionals from England, was
quoted in the June, 1971, Hygienic Review: "Natural Hygiene is not something you
are following by rule of thumb. It is an experience in living; a dynamic rather than a
static, dry list of invariable rules. The needs of the body can vary from day to day and
to live Hygienically you have to meet these variations when they occur. If you do not
do so, your body will fall asleep and you may exist but you will not thrive."
   So what then is the philosophy of Natural Hygiene? Natural Hygiene revolves
around one word--"life." All life is precious; all life is a learning experience. Life is
our teacher and we are its pupils. For it is onl y in life, not death, that lessons can be learned. Life can also be a severe taskmaster so that


 not enough air; I don’t know if the pilot will have
been drinking; I hate air travel; I don’t like that I can’t tell what’ s going on;
I have no control” and so on. She tapped until she felt no intensity thinking
about any part of the travel, from arriving at the airport to landing.
The true test came on flight day. “I remember looking at the plane,
stepping onto the plane, and realizing  my ‘radar ’ was not going out of
control.” Her next thought was that she was hungry and she wondered what
they would serve on the flight. Food hadn’ t been part of the picture in the
past. Once in the air, she reports, “Instead of all the nega tive racing
thoughts, I was curious about what was going on around me. Looking out
the wind ow, I remembering thinking, ‘this is romantic, this is wonderf ul.’”
At that point, she could still remember how the panic felt, but she didn’ t
have it. “I used to book a flight and start praying. Now I just think I used to
be afraid to fly. I don’ t have that anymore!”
In that above case, Ali didn’ t know the origins of the phobia, and it didn’ t
matter. In the case that follows, there was an originating event.
Case Study: Debbie and Fear of Stairs
Often one thing becomes linked  with another, eliciting a phob ic response.
Debbie, age 45, was terrified of walking down but not up stairs. She had no
memory of a time when it didn’ t feel like she was going to die when she
had to walk downstairs; she had inched her way down stairs in terror her
whole life. We started at the top of five stories of stairs and tapped on all
aspects—every possible thought, feeling, sensation, and belie f—keeping
her from walking down one single stair. Aspects included: can’t look down,
nothing there, need to hold on, and more. After about ten minutes she took a
single step on her own. But then she wouldn’ t release her grip on the
railing. “I’ll fall,” she said. We had uncovered another aspect. We tapped
now on aspects relating to releasing her death grip on the railin g. Then, we
stepped back to the top. Now, I asked her to look down, imagine walkingwith the hand off the railing, to get her tuned back into the falling fear. I
then asked her what the falling fear reminded her of.
As is common in situations with EFT, an early memory surfaced from
when she was five years old. Her family was hiking down a craggy bluff,
with Debbie lagging behind. Her parents were in front of her and arguing
loudly. Debbie had felt alone, scared, and uncomfortable, and she was also
quite close to the edge of the rocky hill. Shortly after that event,  her parents
divorced. Being  high up on the hill looking down while her parents argued
had been very scary, and it was the last time the family went on an outing
together. Someh ow, the fear of going down the hill had generalized to going
down regular stairs, crowded stairs, stairs with no railing and the like, and
they had been tightly linked ever since. But really, she had just been scared
about her paren ts arguing so heatedly and linked it to the big loss of her
father ’s regular presence and love. Once we resolved this issue, I had a
feeling she woul d be able to walk down stairs, and I was right. But were we
done?
Soon after we felt “complete,” a whole group of people entered the
stairwell and her fear spiked. Now we tapped on the aspect of crowded
stairwells. She was walking up and down stairs “just like a regular person,”
no fear. The next session we went to steep, metal fire escape stairs to scan
for aspects and test our results. In fact, I was the one who had to tap on my
fear of the metal stairs! Ali was practically giddy with excitement she was
so happy to feel free of the fear that had haunted her all these years. She had
unlinked decades of terror and fear in just two sessions.
Exercise: Overcoming Phobia:
Get Curious, Ask Questions
When you clear  a phobia target with tapping, your questions will be like
guideposts to direct your tappin g. Note that the following questions may
look familiar to you, as they are the same types of questions we apply to
just about any bothersome problem. List them and your answ ers in yourEFT journal. They will help you uncover aspects and specific events to tap
on.
When and where did my phobic response start? Who was with me?
What was going on in my life at the time?
When did the fear get worse?
Do I remember a time that I didn’ t have it?
What does this fear feeling remind me of?
When do/did I remember having a feeling similar to this?
How ashamed am I of the phobia?
Am I keeping my phobia a secret? What will happen if I tell someone?
What happens when I tell other people about my phobia?
What do I believe about myself because of the phobia?
Do I have a case of the “shoulds”? Y ou know the self-talk/inner critic: “ I
should not have,” “I’m wrong to have,” “I’m bad to have this,” “I’m a
loser  to have this,” etc.
What happens when I see, hear, feel, touch, taste, or think of my fear
target?
What are my body sensations when I think or come near my fear tar get?
Does your breathing get shallow and fast? Is your chest tight, does your
gut feel like it’ s going to clench into a fist, are your legs trembling, can
you not seem to get enough air?
How Long W ill It T ake?
You might be wondering how long it will take you to clear your phobia.
Everyone is different. You may clear the root of your phobia in five minutes
of tapping and resolve the probl em for good. Or it may take many rounds—
or even many days—to have a breakthrough. There may be hundreds of
aspects and several specific events you’ll need to tap on before your phobia
clears. Be persistent. You can heal this. You will likely need to put yourself
in the fear situation at some point to truly test for results. Working with a
practitioner can be especially useful in situations like these.Suggestions for W orking through Phobias
Look at your phobia as if it were an archeological site; do a little digging,
and you will see many civilizations buried one on top of anoth er. Remove
them one at a time and you will unearth everything you need to know to
clear your fear. If you have a fear of saying a target word, such as “snake,”
tap on “the s-word,” for examp le. Or you can use a code word that has
nothing to do with the phobia itself, like “my bunny friend,” or “the Tesla
factor,” or “the big yuck.” If you feel ready, you can start to tap on saying
the name of your fear target out loud and tapping on the intensity that just
saying it elicits. Do this until you can actually say out loud the name of
your fear target with neutrality or something close to it. If you can’t get
there, then you may find working with a practitioner experienced in helping
clients resolve phobias useful.
Exercise: T aking the Edge Of f
Just Thinking of the T arget
Step 1. I cannot even think of my fear target without upset.  If this speaks to
you, start there, at this outermost layer. Tap until you no longer feel
triggered and resistant when just thinking about the fear target. This is
similar to the Tearless Trauma  technique, approaching the most global
perspective possible to take the edge of f and be as comfortable as possible.
Try customizing any one of these phrases to suit your own situation:
Even though I feel trapped, I deeply and completely love and accept
myself.
Even though this fear has control over me, I deeply and profoundly
love and accept myself anyway.
Even though there’ s a lot here, and I don’t know where to start, I
deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I’m terrified of certain things, I accept my terror and
myself.Even if I never get over this, I still love and accept myself anyw ay (or
that’s okay).
Step 2. Remember to rate your intensity on just thinking about this issue
before creating your setup phrase, then karate chop: “Even though I don’t
even want to think about the fear I have, I deeply and profoundly accept
myself anyway.” Now tap down the points with your reminder phrase
“don’ t even want to think abou t it,” and retest your intensity again,  just
about that one aspect of thinking about it.
Step 3. Once you have  tapped that down to a neutral intensity and have
no resistance to thinking about the fear object, continue by tapping on every
single aspect that comes to mind, using the ratings scale as your feedback
loop. The most important factor is to not get ahead of yours elf but take
things one step at a time. If you push or rush past a detail that has not been
