Mastopathy is more treatable than all the types
of benign tumors (except cysts). Firstly, the
breast becomes immediately involved in the pro-
cess of fasting. On average, it loses 10 -15 g a day.
Secondly, it’s always possible to palpate a tumor
and find out whether it’s gone. Thirdly, it’s al-
ways possible to accurately apply leeches to a

tentiating effect. Leech saliva contains the en-
zymes that can dissolve the protective covering
of the tumor, which facilitates the immune sys-
tem. However, leeches can act in two ways: they
strengthen a strong immune system and make
weak immunity even weaker, thus triggering tu-
mor growth.
Fasting always strengthens the immune system
so that a tumor can’t grow in these conditions. It
turns out that leech therapy boosts the therapeu-
tic effect of fasting. When fasting is combined
with leech therapy, its duration is much shorter.
19.2.10. Prostat itis and benign prostatic hy-
perplasia
Benign prostatic hyperplasia. The term "benign
prostatic hyperplasia" means that a small nodule
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr(or nodules) is formed in the prostate, and it
grows and gradually squeezes the urethra. If the
urethra didn’t pass through the prostate gland,
the condition would have no symptoms at all.
Patients with BPH have problems urinating,
and it’s the main symptom of this condition.
BPH is a non -cancerous growth that doesn’t me-
tastasize (spread to other organs). It’s the major
diffe rence between BPH and prostate cancer.
According to statistics, half of the men over 50
years of age visit a doctor because of benign
prostatic hyperplasia. It’s believed that this con-
dition affects 85% of men over time. This per-
centage proves that benign prostatic hyperplasia
is the most common urological condition. How
does it affect the prostate gland?

Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frCauses of BPH. The causes of benign prostatic
hyperplasia are still unclear. It’s believed that
this condition is one of the signs of male meno-
pause. Thus, every elderly man can be affected
by it. There are no proven links between the oc-
currence of BHP and sexual activity, sexual ori-
entation, tobacco and alcohol use, urologic in-
fections, and sexually transmitted diseases.
Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate
gland (prostate). Chronic prostatitis is the most
common urologic disease in men under 50 years
old an d it’s the third most common urological
disease in men over 50 (after benign prostatic
hyperplasia and prostate cancer). It’s the cause
of 8% of all outpatient visits to urologists. The
frequency of prostatitis increases up to 30 -73%
with age. The effect of the disease on the quality
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frof life is comparable to myocardial infarction,
angina, and Crohn’s disease. It also causes sig-
nificant psychological and social problems in
men of working age with prostatitis.
Prostatitis is caused by sexually transmitted in-
fections due to the anatomy of the prostate
(prostate gland). The causative agents of infec-
tious prostatitis are bacteria, viruses, myco-
plasma, ureaplasma, chlamydia, trichomonas,
and fungus. Infections, mainly sexually trans-
mitted, get to the prostate gland (prostate) from
the bladder, urethra, rectum, and pelvic blood
and lymphatic vessels. Prostatitis can be non -in-
fectious. Prostatitis is acute and chronic.
Chronic prostatitis is one of the most common
inflammatory conditions of the urinary tract:
about 73% of men are affected by it. I’ve treated
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frmany men with chronic prostatitis and benign
prostatic hyperplasia. Of course, the condition
was cured completely in some of them, while
others recovered only partially.
The most important thing is to undergo se veral
dry fasting treatments, a weekly dry fast with no
water, undergo a preventative fasting treatment
once a year, and follow all the doctor’s recom-
mendations. Unfortunately, only a few patients
are willing to do that, and it explains the return
of these  conditions after fasting.
It’s very difficult to help men who have taken
very strong antibiotics. It’s paradoxical that in-
fections become resistant, only the strongest
bacteria survive, the immune system weakens,
and immune cells stop functioning properly
since there’s no need to fight infections if there’s

series of fasts can help. The first one cleanses the
body, mostly from antibiotics, and strengthens
the immune system. The second one starts heal-
ing, and the third one completes the process.
19.2.11. Dry Fasting for Bronchopulmo-
nary Diseases
Bronchial asthma is a disease that narrows air
passages, since hypersensitivity to certain agents
causes their inflammation; airway constriction is
reversible. This dis ease is becoming more com-
mon. The number of patients with asthma has
increased by 42%, and their mortality rate has
increased by 35% between 1982 and 1992. The
course of the disease is becoming increasingly
more severe, and it requires hospitalization
more and more often. Bronchial asthma affects
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frabout 10 million Americans. The frequency of
asthma is also increasing in Russia, and it affects
at least 5 -6% of the adult population. Nowadays,
asthma affects more people than ever before de-
spite all the publiciz ed achievements and in -
depth scientific research.
In patients with bronchial asthma, air passages
narrow in response to the agents that don’t affect
the air passages of healthy people. It can be
caused by pollen, dust mites, animal dander,
smoke, cold air,  and exercise. During an asthma
attack, bronchial smooth muscles spasm, and
the tissues lining the air passages swell because
of inflammation and produce excessive mucus.
The diameter of air passages decreases (this con-
dition is called a bronchospasm), and  it’s harder
for a patient to inhale and exhale. Some cells in
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frthe respiratory system, particularly, the so -called
mast cells, play an important role in airway con-
striction. Bronchial mast cells secrete histamine
and leukotrienes –substances that cause smo oth
muscle contraction, increase mucus production,
and migration of certain types of white blood
cells. Mast cells can produce these substances in
response to foreign agents (allergens), such as
pollen, dust mites, or animal dander. However,
many people wi th no allergies are affected by a
severe form of bronchial asthma. The reaction is
similar when a patient with asthma performs
any physical activity or inhales cold air. Stress
and anxiety can also trigger the release of hista-
mine and leukotrienes by mast cells. Eosinophils
are another type of cells present in the respira-
tory system of people with bronchial asthma.

enes and certain others, which narrow air pas-
sages.

body.

Is eating sea salt all right?
Extracted sodium chloride, in any  form is an irritant and is toxic to the body. It deadens the taste buds’ a bility to sense sweet,
sour, or bitter (which is why salt users often say that food has no taste w ithout salt), retards digestion and excretion, and upsets our
critical natural water balance.
W e must take care to distinguish here between extracted sodium chl oride “salt” (which is deadly), and the sodium and other
mineral salts that occur naturally and abundantly in whole plant foods  (which are vitally important nutrients needed by every cell of
our bodies). Eating a variety of vegetables, especially celery and tomat oes, provides all the organic salts and other minerals our
bodies need in just the right amounts and combinations we require.
Our cells rely on a delicately regulated ratio of sodium and potassium, wi th sodium residing outside the cells (extracellular) and
potassium inside (intracellular). If the potassium/sodium ratio is a t all out of balance, cellular dehydration or super saturation result.
Either of these conditions seriously compromises cellular function.
If we lose too much sodium through exercise or any other effort that resu lts in perspiration, potassium is “pulled” out of the cell
to maintain the proper ratio. Attempting to compensate by consuming salt  simply stresses the body even more, like trying to make
up for lack of sleep by drinking coffee. The potassium within the cel l must be replaced in order for the cell to “hold” sodium
extracellularly again.
The salt in seawater causes dehydration regardless of how it is consu med. Ocean water is caustic and irritating, tastes vile, and
causes people to vomit. In quantity, drinking seawater causes death with in days, even though it is diluted by a lot of water.
When we extract salt and ingest it with our meals, we head in the sam e direction, only at a different speed. Removing the salt
from seawater gives us sea salt, the very substance that causes  death by dehydration. Consuming sodium chloride of any kind—
including sea salts and other highly marketed, pricey specialty s alts—is a self-destructive practice. Specialty salt produce rs expend
great effort to convince you that you “need” the extracted minerals i n their products to offset a grave nutritional imbalance common
in modern society. (Such deficiency may indeed exist, but in any case it  can be healthfully remedied only by eating an abundance of
low-fat raw plant foods. To do otherwise only creates more nutritional imbal ances.)
True, we need minerals … but we need to ingest them in the quantities and the form in which they occur in whole plant
foods. Eating a highly mineralized form of poison makes no logical sense whats oever.
Salt eaters who cease the practice can often take years to expel all of  the retained salt from their bodies. But take heart, as the
bulk of salt (and cravings) diminish significantly within just a f ew short weeks of total abstinence. I cannot overemphasize the
importance of making the commitment to wean yourself from this ubiquitou s poison.

Can I use vinegar in my salad dressing?
All forms of vinegar, including apple cider and balsamic, are highly toxi c to the human body. Vinegar is made by diluting one
part acetic acid (a common poison found in any chemistry laboratory … in  a bottle with a skull and crossbones) with 19 parts
water.
Vinegar excessively stimulates the thyroid gland, leading to hyper thyroidism and eventually hypothyroidism and concomitant
health issues such as endocrine disorders, calcium metabolic disorders, metabolic rate disorders, fat metabolism problems, body-
weight issues, lethargy, headaches, and the classic bulging of the e yes. This stimulation also accelerates the aging process. The body pulls phosphorus from the adrenal glands to negate the effects of ac etic acid in the system. Depleted phosphorus
results in impaired function of the adrenal glands and thus, again, the  entire endocrine system. The outcome of all this can include
body odor, pains in the heart, rapid pulse, increased mucus production, chronic fat igue, and headaches. Repetitive use of vinegar
will also result in hardening of the liver. Vinegar should not be cons idered “food.”

Is it okay to eat frozen produce?
Some damage to living foods occurs when they are frozen. Freezing can ex pand and burst cell walls, and the resulting
oxidation diminishes the nutritional value of the food. However, nuts and s eeds, which are designed to survive through cold winters,
are less damaged by being frozen. Generally, the lower the water and the  higher the fat content of a whole, fresh food, the better it
will take to freezing.
As for fruits and vegetables, the practice of freezing should be minimi zed but not necessarily eliminated, as it is one of the
least-damaging ways to preserve foods (especially when a chest free zer is used instead of the frost-free variety). One advantage of
freezing food relative to other forms of preservation is that freezing  introduces no known toxins.
You should be aware that eating frozen and ice-cold foods damages the essen tial bacterial colonies that live in your gut and
may be harmful to the bacteria that produce vitamin B 12. Once again, we see that eating foods as we find them in nature proves to
be the most healthful … it is true every time.

Are dehydrated foods OK to eat?
Dehydrated foods are not whole foods; they have had their water removed. Unfor tunately, we have not been taught to
recognize the vital value of water as it comes packaged in fresh plant foods.  Fruits and vegetables are nature’s most pristine water
filters, and the water we cook and dehydrate out of them can never be adequate ly replaced. Drinking water, no matter how purified,
alkalized, or “structured,” just doesn’t compare.
Dehydrated foods can never be as nutritious as the whole, fresh foods they s tarted as. Nutrient damage has been shown to
occur, even if the water is replaced. The use of dehydrates is a personal de cision, but dried foods should always be considered at
best a compromise, second in quality to whole, fresh, ripe, raw, organic fruits  and vegetables.
Current research indicates that vitamin B 12  changes to an analog and unusable form where it is found in dehydrated foods.
This appears to be true, by the way, for spirulina, chlorella, algaes, and othe r pills and powders made from ocean plants.

What about spices and condiments?
In Natural Hygiene, there is a saying, “If you can’t make a meal of i t, it likely is not people food.” When people hear this
statement, they often view it as draconian and idealistic, for it rule s out the consumption of virtually all spices, seasonings, and
condiments. Yet, think about it: no creatures in nature season their f oods, nor even generally combine more than one food in a meal
(at least not for purposes of gustatory pleasure).
Y es, humans are undoubtedly different than the “lower” animals. W e h ave the dexterity and the equipment to mix up grand
concoctions (“combo-a-bombs,” as R.C. Dini so aptly dubbed them), and we have  the ingenuity to create gloriously seasoned taste
treats. But I promise you, our digestive systems have not kept up with  our creativity—not by a long shot. In fact, they are virtually
identical to those of our ancient ancestors, as well as those of modern-day  frugivorous anthropoid primates. By design, we are
meant to eat one whole plant food at a time, unadorned, until we have made a mea l of it.
Herbs and spices like garlic, onion, curry, cumin, ginger, cayenne, chili  powder, and oregano contain alkaloids and other toxic
chemicals. These seasonings stimulate our taste buds and nerves wh ile delivering toxins to our nervous systems. Their use should be
avoided, or at least minimized. They act as irritants in the digestive  tract, often causing the body to produce mucus for protection.
They also function to disguise the bland or noxious taste of cooked foods and seduce  us into consuming foods that would not attract
us on their own.
Like salt, spices provide such an intense “flavor hit” that our tas te buds lose their ability to recognize the natural but more
subtle tastes of fruits and vegetables. The same holds true for the use  of all condiments, including mustard and ketchup.

Can I drink coffee on the raw diet?
The beans in coffee are roasted, making them no longer a raw food item. The fa tal dose of caffeine is 10 grams, the amount in
approximately 70 cups of coffee. Caffeine is considered such a powerful drug t hat just three cups of coffee supplies enough caffeine
to disqualify an athlete from competing in the Olympic games.
Many people take one tenth of the lethal dose every day. I had one patient who dra nk over thirty cups of coffee per day. His
health was failing, but it was regained when he stopped this noxious habi t


 is a much bigger picture to all of this, and a relatively straightforward solution to it. Getting
a vaccine shot isn’t the only way to prevent becoming a victim in the next ﬂu epidemic. Your best defense, in fact, is your own immune system. And by boosting your immune system function, you greatly increase your defense against any infectious disease, including the next global pandemic viral strain. It doesn’t mean that having a strong immune system will absolutely guarantee your survival, but remember that in every outbreak, there are people who survived the disease and people who don’t. By and large, it is those with
strong immune systems who are these survivors.
So how do you boost your immune system function and survived the coming ﬂu pandemic? This is a
topic I have researched at great length. It will be published in a new book at www.truthpublishing.co m,
which focuses on raising your ﬂu immunity in order to survive both the common cold and highly infectious diseases, including inﬂuenza.
The short version of the information found in that book is that boosting your immune system function
requires a signiﬁcant change in lifestyle. The traditional foods, beverages, and biologically active drugs like caffeine that many people consume on a daily basis are immune system suppressors. People who wish to survive the coming ﬂu pandemic will need to stop eating these foods and beverages. All metabolic
disrupters must be eliminated from the diet.
At the same time, the human immune system needs the help of powerful nutritional supplements that
exhibit active defenses against infectious diseases. After reviewing literally hundreds of these foods, vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements, I have narrowed the list to a short selection of the most powerful supplements and antiviral products that can be used to survive the next global pandemic. These will be covered in detail in the book. One of the best foods you can eat, by the way, for its antiviral properties, is garlic. Research also suggest that if you consume shiitake mushrooms, ginger and garlic on a daily basis, your immune system function will be strongly enhanced, dramatically boosting your defense against any ﬂu.
There are also powerful Amazon herbs that show astounding immune system boosting effects. And yet
FDA regulations don’t allow the manufacturers of these herbal products to tell you that they boost your defense against the ﬂu and other infectious diseases. However, as an independent journalists and health commentator with absolutely no ﬁnancial ties to these products or their manufacturers, I can give you an honest review of the products and tell you exactly what the research shows them to be good for.

You’ll receive an e-mail notice when the book is ready to be published, and you’ll you will be able to download the book and educate yourself about the most powerful herbs, vitamins, minerals, and health food products that the research strongly shows exhibit antiviral effects. How powerful are the effects? So powerful that many of these substances
outperform antiviral prescription drugs promoted by the drug companies themselves.
Beat the Bird Flu Virus
30Get the vaccine if you have access to it
None of this means that you should avoid the vaccine if a global outbreak actually occurs. If there is a highly
infectious disease that’s killing people, I do recommend that you seek out vaccines wherever possible to give yourself the best chance of ﬁnding the disease. But as the World Health Organization is currently explaining, these vaccines are probably not going to be widely available. That means despite your best efforts, you may ﬁnd yourself in a situation where you do not have access to the vaccine. Or you may have access to limited supplies of the vaccine and may have to make a choice between vaccinating your child
or vaccinating yourself.
There are many situations in which you want to boost your immune system function using commonly available
foods, herbs, vitamins, minerals and nutritional supplements, and by far the best results will be achieved if you both get the vaccination and are able to boost your immune system function using these strategies that are well demonstrated to boost your immune system function.
Start getting healthy right now
By the way, if you are currently engaged in lifestyle habits that suppress your immune system -- such as smoking, using recreational drugs, eating junk foods or fried foods, or consuming soft drinks on a regular basis -- these are habits that you will need to drop far ahead of time if you wish to have strong immune system function in time for a surprise global pandemic. You can’t just stop consuming these products one day and expect your immune system function to surge back to full health the following day. It typically takes a period of weeks or even months to restore healthy immune system function, and that means you need to start planning now.
This leads me to a startling position on health, wellness, nutrition and avoidance of disease causing foods
and products: getting healthy may now may actually save your life. It used to be that good health was
just a personal choice, where you might wish to feel better, extend your life span, eliminate chronic pain, or look better physically. But now, it could turn out that physical health and strong immune system function is
important to literally survive.
The good news in all of this is that if you start preparing now, by investing in your own good health and
making permanent lifestyle changes, you should have extra time to get ready before this global pandemic is unleashed around the world. But even the World Health Organization doesn’t know the exact timing of this, and that means it’s impossible for you or me to predict it as well. So the smart play is to get healthy now. Educate yourself about how you can boost your immune system function, and then start taking action steps to move in that direction immediately. By the time the global pandemic really starts to spread, you could ﬁnd yourself with one of the strongest immune systems around. As other people are falling ill around you, you could end up sleeping off the entire infection in 24 hours, emerging as not only a survivor but an example of how to use disease prevention, nutrition and healthy lifestyle changes to survive one of the most vicious
diseases the world has seen yet.
That’s what I intend to do, by the way. My immune system function is so high that if I am offered a vaccine, I
plan to refuse it. I’m absolutely conﬁdent in my own body’s ability to ﬁght off even highly infectious diseases, and I would rather that vaccine shot go to someone else who doesn’t have the advantage of consuming superfoods and following a strategy of outstanding nutrition and lifestyle changes that I have been pursuing
Beat the Bird Flu Virus
31for several years. It doesn’t mean I won’t catch the virus, nor that I won’t spend several days in bed
overcoming it, but when a strong immune system is combined with selected vitamins and herbs, as well as plenty of sleep and a lack of stress, the human body is capable of overcoming practically any disease.
Even H5N1.
Stick around, and I’ll demonstrate it personally.
Flu pandemic could kill one billion people
around the world, say experts
A Russian scientist has alarmingly announced that one billion people stand to die from the coming global
ﬂu pandemic. In the United States alone, as many as 700,000 people are expected to die in as little as six
months following the outbreak.
Are these ﬁgures for real? They may be on the high side, but even the World Health Organization now
says the next global pandemic is overdue. Furthermore (and perhaps even more importantly), the world is not at all prepared to manufacture and distribute enough vaccines to protect the global population from the coming pandemic. Health ofﬁcials can’t even get ﬂu shots distributed without creating a near-panic in the population. Imagine the fear and confusion that would be created by a killer virus: a ﬂ u pandemic.
So what kind of viral strain is expected to strike the world next? Probably a variation of the bird ﬂu virus, or a particular strain known as H5N1, which right now exists in other species but is expected to make the
cross-species jump and end up in humans very soon.
You can expect the mass media to severely distort this story as it unfolds in order to avert a public panic.
People will be told there is no pandemic even while tens of thousands are dying from it. Vaccines will simply not be available on a widespread basis. But the people in the know will have long since prepared for the
pandemic with their own anti-viral herbs and immune-boosting nutritional strategies.
In fact, surviving the next ﬂu pandemic will probably be relatively easy if you have a strong immune system.
The key is knowing how to make it strong (and having the discpline to actually do it before the ﬂ u strikes).

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

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

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

   Carey A. Reams loves the Bible most of an. He cherishes it, feasts
upon it and lives it to the best of his knowledge and ability.
This man will help you if you are sick regardless of an the threats
that are made against him. He is a man who is at peace with his God and one of his favorite expressions is: "Perfect love casteth out all fear." There are three things necessary to share God's love and His glory, says Reams, namely:
 "1. Give yourself and put an your possessions at His feet.  "2. Completely empty yourself of yourself, ding not to worldly goods, turn loose of an your pride and self-esteem, be-
come as a little child that is abso lutely obedient to his parents, be
thankful for His tender mercies and praise Him for an problems He as-signs you to strengthen your faith. Rejoice in an tribulation for His name's sake.
 "3. Keep His commandments and teach others so that your reward
will be great in His kingdom. Then ask whatsoever you will in His 175 name and He will answer your prayer, if you will take your prayer re-
quest the way He sends it."
Reams' message to drug pushers and drug salesmen is: “USE
DRUGS AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. USE THE WORD OF GOD AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. GOD IS READY TO DELIVER YOU FROM POOR HEALTH INTO GOOD HEALTH WITHOUT DRUGS OR WITH A LOT LESS DRUGS.”
Since he made these statements his nickname among the students
of the seminars that he teaches is “Moses”.   176 Despite our awesome technology and expenditures we are plagued
by cancer, heart disease, diabetes and a veritable hoard of ailments.

But there are no cities named after him. Instead he was. thrown into pris on - not once but several times. He

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


 your dietary needs.
Consuming our modern refined diet makes it very difficult for us to meet the minimum standards for
nutrient intakes. For example, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Survey found that 65.1% of all adult
women and 55.4% of all adult men are below the standard of one gram of calcium intake per day.
34
Without this basic mineral, it is no wonder why tooth decay is so prevalent, affecting close to 90% of
our population.Weston Price's Tooth Decay Curing Protocol
Ultimately choosing the best diet rests in your hands. I will discuss several protocols for
remineralizing tooth decay. But first we will examine Dr. Price's highly effective nutrition protocol.
In a long term experiment with seventeen individuals who had severe tooth decay, the number of teeth
with active decay was reduced 250 times using Dr. Price’s nutritional program. In this group,
approximately half of all teeth had been affected by decay prior to the nutritional program. After the
nutritional program, only two new cavities formed in the entire group within a three-year period,
which is a recurrence rate of 0.4%.
35
 Dr. Price wrote:
This form of nutritional control of dental caries is so satisfactory that I can recommend
it with confidence as adequate to control well over 95 per cent of dental caries.
36
In twenty seven cases of severe tooth decay in children, the diet that follows was sufficient to stop
cavities in every case and turn soft cavities hard and glassy. An interesting note about this success is
that the home meals of the children were not changed. They continued to eat white bread, vegetable
fat, white flour pancakes with syrup and doughnuts fried in vegetable fat.
37
 Just one healthy meal a
day, as described for growing school children, was sufficient to prevent dental caries from forming.
About four ounces of tomato juice or orange juice and a teaspoonful of a mixture of
equal parts of a very high vitamin natural cod liver oil and an especially high vitamin
butter was given at the beginning of the meal. They then received a bowl containing
approximately a pint of a very rich vegetable and meat stew, made largely from bone
marrow and fine cuts of tender meat: the meat was usually broiled separately to retain
its juice and then chopped very fine and added to the bone marrow meat soup which
always contained finely chopped vegetables and plenty of very yellow carrots; for the
next course they had cooked fruit, with very little sweetening, and rolls made from
freshly ground whole wheat, which were spread with the high-vitamin butter. The wheat
for the rolls was ground fresh every day in a motor driven coffee mill. Each child was
also given two glasses of fresh whole milk. The menu was varied from day to day, and
fish chowder or animal organs substituted the meat stew.
38
Another quote from Dr. Price’s protocol:
The quantity of the mixture of butter oil and cod liver oil required is quite small, half a
teaspoonful three times a day with meals is sufficient to control wide-spread tooth decay
when used with a diet that is low in sugar and starches and high in foods providing the
minerals, particularly phosphorus. A teaspoonful a day divided between two or three
meals is usually adequate to prevent dental caries and maintain a high immunity; it will
also maintain freedom from colds and a high level of health in general. This
reinforcement of the fat-soluble vitamins to a menu that is low in starches and sugars,
together with the use of bread and cereal grains freshly ground to retain the full content
of the embryo or germ, and with milk for growing children and for many adults, and the
liberal use of sea foods and organs of animals, produced the result described.
39Guidelines for healing a child with severe tooth decay, rheumatic fever and arthritis:
The important change that I made in this boy's dietary program was the removal of the
white flour products and in their stead the use of freshly cracked or ground wheat and
oats used with whole milk to which was added a small amount of specially high vitamin
butter produced by cows pasturing on green wheat. Small doses of a high-vitamin,
natural cod liver oil were also added.
40
Sugars and sweets and white flour products were eliminated as far as possible. Freshly
ground cereals were used for breads and gruels. Bone marrow was included in stews.
Liver and a liberal supply of whole milk, green vegetables and fruits were provided. In
addition, he was provided with a butter that was very high in vitamins having been
produced by cows fed on a rapidly growing green grass. The best source for this is a
pasturage of wheat and rye grass.
41
Dr. Price's Protocol Summarized
2-3 times daily for a total of 1 to 1½ teaspoons of the mixture:
¼ teaspoon of fermented cod liver oil
- taken together with -
¼ teaspoon of high vitamin butter oil
Two+ cups of raw grass fed whole fat milk daily
Bone marrow frequently
Beef and fish stews
Liberal use of sea foods including the organs
Liberal use of organs of land animals especially liver
Lots of green vegetables and some cooked fruit
4 ounces of tomato juice, or orange juice (high in vitamin C) daily
Fine cuts of red meat
Freshly ground whole wheat and/or oats daily * (See note on whole grains. I no longer recommend
doing this part of the program.)
White flour productsSkim milk
Sugar and other sweeteners
*
Grains Note
: Later in this book I provide a special section on how to properly use grains. Typically
whole, freshly ground grains as described in Dr. Price’s quotes will contribute to cavities due to
grain anti-nutrients or hidden intestinal inflammation such as celiac disease. It’s not that grains
themselves are poor food choices, but that we must be extra careful in how we prepare and use them.
Simply grinding grains fresh is not enough to remove significant amounts of plant toxins like phytic
acid. Had Dr. Price known this at the time, his protocol would have been even more effective.
We will adapt Dr. Price’s seminal research with decades of other supportive studies and findings,
and then unite the sum to create potent tooth cavity healing programs. I leave you with words from Dr.
Price.
There is a nutritional basis for modern physical, mental and moral degeneration.

 in the control of lethal ICP and subsequent brain edema using a rabbit model.
42 All animals were monitored for EEG activity, ICP, central venous
pressure, systemic arterial pressure, and water content in the brain. Animals had a circular area of the parietal cortex frozen for 90 s using a probe previously cooled in liquid nitrogen. This lesion created a consistent localized area of necrosis and hem -
orrhage at the surface and a few millimeters below the cortex. When animals were injected with Evans blue, the dye was observed to extravasate just beyond the lesion site only in the cryogenic lesion group, allowing the measurement of the dye spread following each treatemnt.
42 It was found that EEG activity after 1 g/kg of a 10%
DMSO solution given 24 h after the cryogenic lesion was an improvement in volt -
age and the number of slow waves in five of six animals treated when compared to untreated lesioned animals. The ICP was significantly reduced 5 min after DMSO with no changes seen in the central venous pressure, which rose only in untreated lesioned animals.
Brain water content was significantly reduced after DMSO in both hemispheres
and was increased in the untreated cryogenic lesioned animals. This study concluded that after a cryogenic lesion, DMSO stabilized systemic arterial pressure, water con -
tent in the brain, and central venous pressure and reduced ICP while increasing cerebral perfusion when compared to untreated lesioned animals.
42
This cryogenic lesion study led to a second study by the San Diego group to
further test DMSO’s ability to reduce toxic brain edema at variable doses that
could be effective and still maintain electrolyte and fluid balance.43 The same rab -
bit model and cryogenic lesion was used, and the findings suggested that a 1 g/kg
of a 10% DMSO solution given as an intravenous bolus was as effective in reducing ICP as a 1 g/kg of a 40% DMSO bolus, a dose that could create red cell hemolysis. 142 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
These authors found that while a 10% bolus of DMSO would avoid red cell hemo -
lysis, it would also increase central venous pressure and fluid overload. However,
the authors determined that the central venous pressure increase and fluid overload side effects could be avoided when 2 g/kg of a 20% DMSO infusion was given continuously over 1 h. This approach seemed as effective as the 10% bolus injec -
tions.
65 Since the study was terminated 1 h following all treatments, it was hard
to judge whether a bolus or slow infusion was preferable in a patient developing a rapid extradural hematoma following a closed head injury. The optimal dose of intravenous DMSO would become a controversial stumbling block in subsequent clinical and experimental studies examining how best to treat a brain injury.
This impasse of DMSO given as an intravenous bolus or slow infusion at an opti -
mal concentration was finally solved, as we shall see in Chapter 9, in two clinical pilot trials performed by Turkish investigators treating severe closed head injury patients using DMSO.
44,45
The third study carried out by the San Diego researchers43a focused on extending
the infusion time of DMSO from 1 to 3 h using the same cryogenic rabbit model of brain trauma used in the first and second studies. This experiment examined whether DMSO at a dose of 2 g/kg 20% infusion given 24 h after the cryogenic lesion would still lower ICP and reduce other side effects when given over 3 h rather than over 1 h as reported in the second study.
The results indicated that DMSO infused over a 3 h period was able to signifi -
cantly lower ICP from 12.9 mm Hg before treatment to 7.3 torr after 45 min and to 4.2  mm torr after 3  h. Systemic arterial pressure and central venous pressure remained unchanged during and after DMSO infusion.
43a Brain electrolyte levels of
sodium and potassium showed a reduction of both electrolytes in the lesioned and unlesioned contralateral hemispheres after DMSO, which was similar to untreated lesioned animals.
The San Diego studies determined an optimal dose of DMSO at 2 g/kg in a 20%
solution given over a 3 h period as a more optimal approach to lessen DMSO possible side effects such as volume overload, a rise of potassium brain levels, and red blood cell (RBC) hemolysis.
65 We now know that the optimal dose of DMSO in human
patients sustaining a severe brain injury is 1 g/kg in a 28% solution mixed with 5% dextrose in water.
44,45
It should be noted that the gross hemolysis seen after a rapid bolus of high intra -
venous doses of DMSO has been shown to be a temporary side effect that does not involve organ damage, including the kidneys.
66 Hemolysis after high rapid doses
of DMSO is a reaction that always disappears after the discontinuation of DMSO. This was demonstrated in a pathologic study monitoring blood chemistry, hema -
tology, urine, ocular, neurological, and cardiovascular systems in rhesus monkeys given repeated high doses of DMSO (3 g/kg 40%) for 9 days and followed up for 4  months.
65 At the end of the study, all animals underwent postmortem analyses,
including gross and microscopic pathological examinations. No significant or long-
lasting changes were recorded in any of the parameters studied when these data were
compared to those animals given normal physiological saline.66
The three-part study by the San Diego group also showed that DMSO could sig -
nificantly reduce ICP without affecting systemic pressure or central venous pressure 143 DMSO in Basic Neuroprotection
while lowering the brain water content in the lesioned hemisphere. These studies
also suggested that a slow infusion of 2 g/kg of a 20% DMSO solution over a 3 h period was as effective in lowering ICP as 1 g/kg of a 40% DMSO bolus but without the gross hemolysis seen with the bolus.
42–44
Although this conclusion is probably valid for a cryogenic lesion to the cortex
where local necrosis and hemorrhage develop immediately and remain a nonexpand -
ing lesion, it is not the case with a relatively slower-building epidural hematoma (also called extradural hematoma) that results from a severe blunt trauma to the skull and meninges.
An extradural or epidural hematoma occurs when there is a rupture of a blood
vessel, usually an artery, which then bleeds into the space between the dura mater and the inner wall of the skull. An epidural hematoma is generally an expanding mass that can reach its peak in 4–8 h and is capable of stripping the dura apart and threatening the formation of malignant brain edema as well as inducing secondary brain damage and death. This means that a brain trauma patient’s arrival at the emer -
gency department requires quick evaluation and if an expanding epidural hematoma is found, rapid surgical evacuation is mandatory. Drug treatment is generally con -
sidered when refractory high ICP is detected.
67,68 This implies that if brain edema is
present, rapid intravenous infusion (fast drip or bolus) of an antiedema drug should be applied to control rising ICP and failing cerebral perfusion.
66
The cryogenic lesion model was again used by the San Diego researchers who
compared the acute effect of DMSO and pentobarbital, an agent used to reduce ICP often by creating barbiturate coma, on the development of brain edema in rabbits.
69
DMSO was given 1 mg/kg in a 10% solution by intravenous bolus, and pentobarbi -
tal 40 mg/kg was administered intravenously over a 30 min infusion. It was found that ICP was quickly lowered by both DMSO and pentobarbital with central venous pressure unchanged. Where the treatments differed was in the lowering of systemic arterial pressure by pentobarbital but not by DMSO, an outcome that likely produced a reduction in cerebral perfusion by the barbiturate.
To find out the physiological basis for DMSO’s action in lowering ICP and reduc -
ing brain edema after a cryogenic brain lesion in rabbits, cerebral blood flow was measured before and after 2 g/kg/h DMSO 20% infusion for 2 h or 1 g/kg DMSO bolus preceded by a bolus of 20 mg indomethacin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent and a nonselective prostaglandin (PG) synthase inhibitor.
65 The results sug -
gested that following the DMSO bolus injection in the absence of indomethacin, an immediate rise in cerebral blood flow was followed by a decrease 30 min later despite a constant lowering of ICP.
These rise and paradoxical dip of cerebral blood flow were not observed when
DMSO was given as a slow infusion where ICP was still lowered and cerebral blood flow rose consistently throughout the infusion. When indomethacin was given 15 min prior to DMSO infusion, cerebral blood flow failed to increase immediately until 60 min had passed, an action not observed when indomethacin was admin-
istered prior to a DMSO bolus. The authors concluded that the action of reducing
ICP immediately after DMS

Interestingly, of the cancers of digestive system in the first place

food is more malignant in terms of chronic, that is, providing

Modern mortality, then you should take
additional and conscious effort to cleanse the body
of constantly accumulating toxins. However, this name
has a technical connotation and therefore does not reflect the tragedy of
consequences associated with defeat slags vital
bodies. Organism - it is not just a pan in which the deferred
some neutral slags - an organism fatally damaged
these slags. Therefore, here to speak about chronic
poisoning of food, household and industrial toxins,
ie, toxins that are medically called chronic
toxemia. Strictly speaking, the main issue is not so much increased
concentrations of toxins in the blood, and increased concentration
toxins in tissues and organs and as a consequence of their rising
damage that would be more correct to call toksikogistiey,
because the root "GIST" means "cloth".
It was a very interesting survey conducted in Yekaterinburg:
exposed hair 24 Uralians spectral analysis and found
in the body Hg, Li, Cr in toxic concentrations. Absolutely
certain that these elements are carcinogenic, so do not
be surprised that we are sick with cancer.
The most radical and, consequently, the most effective
way to clean toxins from the chronic - is a therapeutic fasting,
natural way to cleanse the body from accumulating
harmful substances. It is useful in terms of mental, spiritual
and physical cleansing. The emergence of medical
11
11fasting is rooted in antiquity. Please
note - no animal when it gets sick, will not eat.
Unfortunately, people act differently, not realizing that the lack of
appetite during illness said that to combat it come
body's defenses. Such is the reaction of the organism to
disease. Loss of appetite during illness - this is the inclusion of the fight
the body's defenses. If the temperature rises, so
is mobilization of the body. Of the thousand-year experience
After numerous experiments and careful clinical
study, it became clear that limotherapy (now
it is more commonly referred to by RDT - fasting-diet therapy)
- Sole therapeutic agent. It promotes
radical cleansing and all that purifies - heals. By
speed and effectiveness of getting rid of various ailments method
has no equal, especially when the drug treatment of one
disease exacerbates the other. Or when the patient's intolerance
medicines. We can say that any kind of fasting
benefit, since in this period in an organism occurs
a cleansing of toxic contamination and provides
rest of the central nervous system and digestive organs.
When you starve vital energy performs cleaning
work in your body. The organism is self-cleaning, samolechitsya
and self-healing. When you stop eating, your
organism there are wonderful things! If you want to support
the body clean, you have to starve! Try to starve
a few times - you feel that never before felt:
internal cleansing, which leads you to health! Live not aging

Fasting serves two functions. First - prevention:
fasting for about three days the body goes

This destroyed alien (bacteria and viruses), bad
and abnormal structures at the cellular level. Second - medical:
Fasting allows for deep cleansing of all organs,

■ Blood tonic  Famous in China as
a tonic, dong quai  is taken for
“deficient blood” conditions, anemia,
and for the symptoms of anemia
due to blood loss—a pale complexion,
palpitations, and lowered vitality.
■ Women’s health  Dong quai
regulates the menstrual cycle, relieves
period pain and cramps, and
is an ideal tonic for women with heavy
menstruation who risk becoming
anemic. However, as it stimulates
menstrual bleeding, other tonic herbs
such as nettle ( Urtica dioica, p. 146)
are best taken during menstruation if
the flow is heavy. It is also a uterine
tonic, and helps infertility.
■ Circulation  Dong quai
is a “warming” herb, improving the
circulation to the abdomen and

■ Other research A 1995 study in
India found the seeds to have marked liver-protective activity. Extracts of the seeds may also lower blood fat levels. Iranian laboratory research from 2013 found that celery seed had a marked effect in lowering high blood pressure.
Traditional &
Current Uses
■ Ancient herb Records show
that celery has been cultivated
for at least 3,000 years, notably in
pharaonic Egypt, and it was known
in China in the 5th century bce. Throughout history, celery has been used as a food, and at various times both the whole plant and the seeds have been taken medicinally.
■ Cleansing properties Today,
the seeds are used for treating rheumatic conditions and gout.  They help the kidneys dispose of urates and other waste products, and work to reduce acidity in the body as a whole. The seeds are useful in arthritis, helping to  detoxify the body and improve  the circulation of blood to the muscles and joints.
■ Diuretic Celery seeds have
a mildly diuretic and significantly antiseptic action. They are an effective treatment for cystitis, helping to disinfect the bladder and urinary tubules.
■ Nutritious drink Celery and
organic carrot juice make a nutritious, cleansing drink that is good for many chronic illnesses.

& Their Uses
beneficial for chest problems such  as asthma and bronchitis, and, in combination with other herbs, can help to reduce blood pressure.
Self-help Uses
■ Arthritis, p. 313.
■ Gout, p. 313.More familiar as a vegetable than as a medicine, celery
stems and seeds have long been taken for urinary, rheumatic, and arthritic problems. Celery is a good cleansing, diuretic herb, and the seeds are used specifically for arthritic complaints where there is an accumulation  of waste products. The seeds also have a reputation as  a carminative with a mild tranquilizing effect. The stems are less significant medicinally.
 QCautions Do not take celery seed during pregnancy or
if suffering from kidney disease. Do not use seeds sold for
cultivation in medicinal preparations. Do not take the essential oil internally except under professional supervision. Divided
toothed leaves
are aromatic
Stem Chopped

History & Folklore According to the
medieval Doctrine of Signatures, which held
that a plant’s appearance pointed to the ailment
it treated, lungwort was effective for chest
ailments because its leaves were said to resemble
lung tissue.

	to	worry.	Worry	is	unreal.	It	makes	you	feel	pain
in	advance,	and	your	soul	isn’t	part	of	anything	painful.	Survivors	who	have
been	through	a	disaster	like	a	flood	or	tornado	will	tell	you	that	handling	the
crisis	was	ten	times	easier	than	waiting	for	it	to	occur.
	So	the	best	way	to	cure
worry	is	to	confront	the	thing	you	fear.
Worry	goes	away	when	you	face	the	thing	you	fear.	Once	you	know	how
you’re	going	to	deal	with	a	situation,	your	soul	will	help	bring	you	a	sense	of
security;	it	will	help	make	you	feel	safe.	See	yourself	in	the	situation.	Practice
what	you’re	going	to	do	and	say.	Be	totally	honest	about	what	you	know	is
true.	Every	time	your	mind	says,
What	if?
	answer	it	with,	“Then,	I’ll	do
X
.”
The	more	concrete	you	are	with	facing	your	fear,	the	better.	Some	champion
athletes	visualize	a	whole	game	in	advance	before	stepping	out	on	the	field.
Singers	practice	their	songs,	actors	recite	their	lines.	Of	course,	a	part	of	you
will	say,	“Just	don’t	think	about	it.”	But	have	you	really	succeeded	in	not
thinking	about	something	you	dread?	Your	mind	keeps	coming	back	to	it	no
matter	how	hard	you	try.
Above	all,	know	that	you’ll	survive,	no	matter	what.	And	if	you	doubt	that,
seek	someone	you	trust	so	that	you	can	hear	them	say	it	to	you.	Their
reassurance	is	an	echo	of	what	your	soul	is	telling	you.

ORGETTING
Forgetting	your	soul	is	hard	to	describe.	It’s	like	being	a	millionaire	who
thinks	he’s	poor	because	he	doesn’t	remember	what’s	in	the	bank.	It’s	like
looking	for	your	glasses	and	forgetting	that	you	are	already	wearing	them.
In	other	words,	it’s	a	special	kind	of	forgetting.	When	you	forget	that	you	left
your	wallet	at	the	supermarket,	it	might	still	be	there	when	you	go	back,	or	it
might	not.	You	feel	anxious	not	knowing	which	it’s	going	to	be.	But	your	soul
is	always	there,	ready	for	you	to	remember	it.	The	way	of	the	mind	could	be
called	the	way	of	reminding—you	remind	yourself	that	your	spirit	is	alwayspresent;	it	is	in,	around,	and	everywhere.	The	whole	universe	vibrates	with
every	thought,	according	to	physics.	The	messages	sent	by	your	soul	are
sometimes	sudden	flashes,	sometimes	just	a	steady	feeling	that	tells	you,	deep
in	your	heart,	that	you	belong,	you	are	safe,	you	are	part	of	everything.	All	it
takes	to	receive	these	messages	is	never	to	forget	that	your	soul	is	sending
them.The	Way	of	Silence
W
e	were	back	in	the	shade	under	the	trees	because	it	was	the	hottest	part	of
the	day.	Baba	had	stopped	talking.	He	sat	very,	very	still	now.	I	watched	as	a
single	leaf	fell	from	the	tree.	It	fluttered	and	swiveled	through	the	air	as	it
dropped.	Baba	saw	it	too.
“Do	you	think	you	can	catch	that?”	he	asked.
I	knew	how	hard	it	is	to	catch	a	falling	leaf,	because	I	had	tried	before.	I
grabbed	at	it,	but	the	next	puff	of	air	seemed	to	carry	the	leaf	just	out	of	reach
—nothing	is	more	slippery	than	a	leaf	that	doesn’t	want	to	be	caught.
“Can	you?”	I	asked	when	my	try	was	over.
A	second	leaf	was	falling	toward	us.	Baba	didn’t	reach	up	or	even	look	at	it.
When	the	leaf	was	just	in	front	of	his	face,	his	hand	darted	out,	and	as	easy	as
that,	he	caught	it.
“You	see?”	he	said.	“I	am	just	like	a	snake	in	the	sun.	One	moment	I	am	so
still	that	I	could	be	sleeping,	but	when	I	strike,	I	move	instantly,	with	total
certainty	Now
	you	know	the	key	to	the	third	way	that	your	soul	wants	you	to
live	by,	the	way	of	silence.”
“I	don’t	think	being	quiet	makes	somebody	certain,”	I	said	doubtfully.
“You	haven’t	found	the	real	silence	yet,”	he	said.	“It’s	a	lot	more	than	being
quiet.	Silence	sharpens	the	mind	like	an	arrow	ready	to	fly	through	the	air.
But	it	also	softens	the	mind,	like	the	paw	of	a	cat	when	its	claws	are	drawn	in.
A	cat’s	paw	is	sensitive	and	sharp	at	the	same	time.”
“But	nobody	is	really	certain	of	anything,	are	they?”	I	asked.
“No?”	said	Baba.	“Haven’t	you	set	eyes	on	somebody	and	instantly	said	to
yourself,	‘He’s	going	to	be	my	new	best	friend’?	Haven’t	you	woken	up	one
morning	and	known	for	sure	that	something	special	was	going	to	happen	to
you?	The	soul	has	a	quality.
It	knows	for	sure
.
“The	way	of	silence	is	about	developing	the	ability	to	know	for	sure,”	saidBaba.	“You	can	learn	to	be	relaxed	and	still,	yet	when	it’s	time	to	make	a
decision,	you	will	be	able	to
go!
	Just	like	that.”

The	way	of	silence	isn’t	about	being	quiet	for	its	own	sake.	Silence	is	how
you	are	naturally	when	you	are	certain	about	something,	because	the	mind
keeps	talking	only	as	long	as	it	is	in	doubt.	Baba	was	really	teaching	me	about
being	a	spiritual	warrior.	That’s	a	term	you	may	have	read
	or	heard	about.
Spiritual	warriors	aren’t	fighting	other	people;	they’re	fighting	not	to	be
mentally	foggy	and	doubtful.	So	it’s	not	a	martial	art.
Instead,	spiritual	warriors	are	training	to	know	who	they	are.	When	you’re
certain	about	that	one	thing,	the	rest	is	simple.	In	India	there’s	an	ancient
saying,	“I	am	That.”	What	it	means	is	that	if	you	strip	away	all	labels,	you	are
pure	spirit	or	essence.	People	usually	say,	“I
have
	a	soul,”	but	the	spiritual
warrior	says,	“I
am
	the	soul.”	This	wisdom	is	one	of	the	most	glorious	goals
you	can	live	for.	In	ancient	India	they	would	have	said,	“Yes,	it’s	true.	I	am
That”	to	mean	the	same	thing.
You’ve	seen	pictures,	I’m	sure,	of	Buddhist	monks	in	saffron	robes	meditating

are	in	training	to	awaken	all	the	qualities	of	spirit.	And	That	is	intelligent
beyond	anything	we	can	imagine.	It	breathes	life	into	raw	matter.	The	sugar	in
a	sugar	bowl	is	basically	the	same	as	the	sugar	that	your	brain	uses	for	food
(in	the	body	this	sugar	is	called	glucose),	and	yet	there


 concerned with “the whole planet. ”  It seems the least we can do for the planet which gave birth to us and will sooner or later recycle our bodies.  As of 2018, I think a realistic view leans toward “sooner. ”  However, let us remember our great capacity for awakening, understanding, transformation, and love-in-action.  Why not do all we can to nourish these possibilities?  Let us each realize that we truly do reap what we sow!

FruiticulturePathologies of Modern Diets
by David Klein, Ph.D., Dr. T. C. Fry &
Wes Peterson, N.D.
The Big Destructive Mistake
by Dr. T. C. Fry & David Klein, Ph.D.
The #1 mistake humankind makes several times every day is eating foods which we are
not designed to eat, that is, foods which are not suitable to our biological and physi -
ological constitution and which poison and destroy the body and mind, causing virtually every disease condition humans fac e
. We are not omnivores!  Omnivorous diets that are
high in grains and their byproducts and/or meat and animal byproducts are acidifying, toxifying, and deficient in nutrients.  They destroy human health, causing physical and mental degeneration, low fertility, most disease conditions from A to Z, stunted longev -
ity and they greatly contribute to the pollution of the world’s environment and the de -
cline of global societies.
Just as ker osene fouls up an automobile or air plane eng
ine, which was not designed for
it, so too will foods foul up human bodies if they are not designed to handle them.  If
you are not physiologically adapted to a diet, it will be repulsive to you in its raw natural state—you cannot relish the food nor sustain yourself on it in good health.  When you eat an unnatural diet by artifice, that is, by denaturing it by cooking and modifying and camouflaging its taste with condiments and so on, you are doing the following:
1.  Deranging and destroying most or all of the nutrients within the food.    2.  Deranging your taste buds through excitation with toxic substances to make the
unpalatable food acceptable.  3.  Potentially inflaming your or
gans.  All poisonous substances, including alcohol, pun -
gent spices, vinegars, salts, onions, garlic, chili peppers, hot sauces, and charred meat,
are harsh irritan ts tha
t can cause inflammation and impose insurmountable burdens 25
Fruiticultureupon the body’s defense system and organs of
purification and elimination.  A host of diseases results from their habitual use.
4.  Causing nutrient deficiencies by eating a par -
tially or wholly nutrient deranged “food. ”5.  Causing protein malnutr ition.  C
ooking de -
stroys proteins and amino acids.  Once oxidized
and destr oyed b y c
ooking, you can no longer de -
rive any benefit from proteinaceous substances other than, per haps “empt y calor
ies, ” that is, nu-
trient-bereft fuel.  Once oxidized, proteins are soil (food) for bact er
ia which putrefy (rot) it.  Bacterial
putrefactive byproducts are highly toxic and car -
cinogenic. These byproducts are methane gas (the source for smelly gas emissions when y ou ea
t
beans, for instance), hydrogen sulfide and mer -
captans (which yield the rotten egg smell when carried out by the methane gas), cada v
erine, putrescine, ammonias, indoles, skatoles,
leukomaines and a profusion of other toxic and carcinogenic substances.
6.  Laying the groundwork for putrefactive bacterial flora that will vitiate your intestinal
tract.  Eaters of cooked foods and wrong foods have about two pounds of bacterial flora up and down their digestive tracts.  Raw food eaters have only a few ounces.
7.  Laying the groundwork for alcohol and vinegar poisoning.  Heated sugars and carbo -
hydrates are readily fermented by fungi and bacteria with, first, alcohol as a byproduct
and then vinegar which is dozens of times more t o
xic than alcohol.
8.  Intoxicating your body with the toxic debris (deranged nutrients) of what once had nutrient value. Instead of materials your body can use, you have toxins that put the body into a frenzy and, if overwhelmed by the toxic load, into a pathological state.
9.  Overstimulating your nervous and endocrine systems, which in some people sends
their sex drive into overdrive, which is a prime cause of the world’s overpopulation.
26
Fruiticulture10.  Deranging our brain chemistry, resulting in reduced cognition and disconnection
from our elegant bio-spiritual nature, instigating aberrant behaviors and, consequently, worldwide turmoil.  This new study helps make the point:  “Intake of Raw Fruits and Vegetables Is Associated With Better Mental Health, ” from Frontiers in Psychology maga -
zine: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5902672/.
As you can see, c ooked f
oods and condiments are a curse to our well-being.
There are many toxic substances that are commonly eaten.  For instance, all cooked oils
and fats, as in fried foods, meats, nuts and seeds, contain deadly carcinogens.  Their aerated fumes are worse in the lungs than tobacco smoke!  For the bare truth about cooking, refer to the landmark report Diet, Nutrition and Cancer (1983) that was commis -
sioned by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (https://www.nap.edu/catalog/371/diet-nutrition-and-cancer).
T
he list of toxifying pseudo-foods seems endless!  We Americans poison ourselves so
much that we have more health problems per capita than any other country on earth.  More than 16% of our national wealth goes down the disease rat hole.  Humanity must wake up to the fact that virtually all discomforts, illnesses and suffering are abnormal, unnatural and unnecessary.

Slabs of carcinogens27
FruiticultureIs Cooked Food Good for Us?
by Dr. T. C. Fry
In nature all animals eat living foods as yielded up by na-
ture. Only humans cook their foods and only humans suffer widespread sicknesses and ailments.
Those humans who
eat mostly living foods are more alert, think clearer, sharper and more logically and become more active. Best of all, live food eaters become virtually sickness-free!
Cooking is a process of food destruction from the moment
heat is applied to the foodstuff. Long before dry ashes re -
sults, food values are totally destroyed. If you put your hand just for a moment into boil-ing water or on a hot stove, that should forever persuade you just how destructive heat is. Food is usually subject ed t
o these destructive temperatures for perhaps half an hour
or more. What was living substance becomes totally dead very rapidly with exposure to heat!
Cooking renders food toxic! The toxicity of the deranged debris of cooking is confirmed
by the doubling and tripling of white blood cells after eating a cooked food meal. The white blood cells are the first line of defense and are, collectively, popularly called “the immune system. ”
As confirmed by hundreds of researches cited in the prestigious National Academy of
Science’s National Research Council’s book, Diet, Nutrition and Cancer, all cooking quickly generates mutagens and carcinogens in foods.
Proteins begin coagulating and deaminating at temperatures commonly applied in cook -
ing, and are devoid of nutritive value.Vitamins are ra ther quick
ly destroyed by cooking.
Minerals quickly lose their organic context and are returned to their native state as they
occur in soil, seawater and rocks, metals and so on.  In such a state they are unusable and the body often shunts them aside where they may combine with saturated fats and cho -
lesterol in the circulatory system, thus clogging it up with cement-like plaque.
28
FruiticultureHeated fats are especially damaging because they are altered to form acroleins, free radi -
cals and other mutagens and carcinogens as confirmed in Diet, Nutrition and Cancer.
Thus you can see that dead f oods make dull
, low vitality, and diseased people.

FruiticultureCooked Food Effects
by Wes Peterson, N.D.
During the past few decades there has been much research done in the area of nutri -
tion. Some of this research casts light on some important insights regarding the foods
Mother Nature off ers t
o us in its whole, raw state, and what happens when we tamper
with them.
What exactly happens to food when it is cooked?  What happens to the body if we eat
cooked food? Some key points are covered in this article.
Key Points Regarding the Effects of Cooking on Food and Health•  The food’s life force is greatly depleted or destroyed. The bioelectrical (energy) field is
altered and greatly depleted (as is graphically demonstrated
