It is estimated that 12 million children suffer from asthma, and several thousand die every year. Let us declare an
end to asthma in less than five years. Let us save children from th e constant fear of suffocation because they do not
recognize they are thirsty for water. Asthma and allergies are indicators that the body has resorted to an increase in production of the neurotransmitter
histamine, the sensor regulator of water metabolism and its distribution in the body. It is recognized that asthmatics h ave an increase in histamine content of their lung tissue and that it is the histamine
that regulates the bronchial muscle contraction. Since one of the sites for water loss through evaporation is in the
lungs, bronchial constriction produced by histamine means less w ater evaporation during the act of breathing—a
simple natural maneuver to preserve the body water. Histamine is an agent that, apart from its wat er regulatory role, has responsibilities for antibacterial, antiviral, and
anti-foreign agents (chemicals and proteins) defense systems in the body. At a normal level of water content of the
body, these actions are held at an imperceptive or unexaggerated level. At a dehydrated state of the body, to the
point that the histamine activity becomes exaggerated for wat er regulation, an immune system activation of
histamine-producing cells will  release an exaggerated amount of the transmitter that is held in storage for its other
functions. It has been shown in animal models that histamine production in histamine-generating cells will decrease with an
increase in the daily water intake. Both of these conditions should be regulated with an alert and determined
increase in water intake. On average, these conditions respond after one to four weeks of water regulation of the
body. Mr. Peck, an asthmatic sin ce childhood, who also became sensitive to all sorts of "allergens," is no longer in fear of

Q: Who has lost over 40 pounds by the time of their wedding in October 1994?,
A: Priscilla Preston
Q: What is the author's opinion on the relationship between dehydration and the development of AIDS?,
A: The author believes that AIDS is a metabolic disorder caused by severe dehydration and not a viral disease.
Q: What is the author's view on the role of salt in the body?,
A: The author emphasizes the importance of salt in the body, stating that it is a natural anti-histamine and is essential for the body's functions.
Q: What is the main point of the author's research on AIDS?,
A: The author's research suggests that AIDS is not caused by a virus, but rather by an imbalance in the amino acid composition of the body, which is caused by dehydration and other factors.
Q: What is the author's stance on the use of certain foods, such as eggs?,
A: The author recommends eating eggs as a balanced protein source, as they have a well-balanced protein content and are not a cause of disease.
Q: Who has been able to cure their child's asthma and allergies by following the author's advice?,
A: Cheryl Brown-Christopher, the mother of Jeremy, has reported that her son's asthma and allergies have been cured by following the author's advice on water and salt intake.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>A prudent correction of the initial
metabolic imbalance might boost the expressio ns of normal gender definition and decrease homosexual
tendencies, not to mention preventing AIDS, particularly in those who develop homosexual tendencies in the later
years of life, such as fathers or mothers with kids, who begin to feel homosexual pulls. In women who begin to lose
libido and lose hair with a "male pattern" distribution, the above precautionary measures might arrest such a decline
at its early stages. An easy way to stop muscle breakdown is by an intelligent adjustment of the daily wa ter intake and by eating a
balanced high-protein diet. Take a look at Edward Dippre's letter on page 150. As you can see, water and some salt
intake have reversed muscle breakdown in a dehydration-produced "disease" con dition. Not knowing the cause, the
problem h as been labeled as muscular dystrophy. Enhancing daily exercise  and physical activity at the same time wou ld force the body into a physiological program to
build up its muscle s, instead of breaking them into their amino acid components to feed the rest of the body. You
need to realize the human body is designed to defend itself against all types of infections. It survived fast acting
viruses such as sm allpox, measles, polio, and others during its development. It generally takes the body about nine
days to mount an effective defense against even fast viruses. If the body can  survive fast viruses, surely it is m ore
than capable of defending itself against slowly growing viruses. All that we need to understand is how to  make the body stronger and stop actions that would make it vulnerable. Let us remember, if the camel had a back-breaking point to the weight of the last straw, surely the human body
must also have a physical breaking-point to being life-stylishly overloaded? The question is, do we continue to
measure the straw o r the inherent structural and physiological limitations? Do we pay attention to the limitations of
the body, or do we in carefree abandon blame an ineffective slow virus for  the ills that befall some members of our
society? Edward Dippre

THE SI MPLEST OF  TREAT MENTS I N MEDICI NE
"You  cannot by reasoning correct a man of ill opinion which by reasoning he never acquired." —Bacon
Your body needs an absolute min imum of six to eight 8-ounce glasses o f water a day. Alcohol, coffee, tea, and caffeine-containing beverages don't count as wat er. The best times to drink water (clinically observed in peptic ulcer disease) are: one glass one half hour before taking
food—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—and a similar amount two and one half hours after each meal. This is the very
minimum amount of water your body needs. For the sake of not shortchanging your body, two more glasses of
water should be taken around the heaviest meal or before going to bed. Thirst should be satisfied at all times. With increase in water intake, the thirst mechanism becomes more efficient. Your body m ight then ask you to drink more than the above minimum. Adjusting water intake to mealtimes prevents the blood from becoming concentrated as a result of food intake. When the blood becomes concentrated, it draws water from the cells around it. Water is the cheapest form of medicine to a dehydrated body. As sim ply as deh ydration will in time produce the
major diseases we are confronting now, a well-regulated and constantly alert attention to daily water intake will
prevent the emergence of most of the major diseases we have come to fear in our modem society. William Gray's letter is introduced here as an example of how simply water is a better medication for the treatment
of so many differently labeled complications of chronic dehydration. His letter had to be typed into this segment of
the book because the original could not fit in this page size. As y ou will see, Mr. Gray is a highly intelligent person. His observations provide a great deal of insight into the possible complications of chronic dehydration in the human
body. For this reason I selected this section of the book to present to you his observations. My hope is to impress
upon your mind a simple fact


 camper, so weekend trips
were an easy affair. But this trip wouldn’t turn out to be
just another camping trip—this trip was destined to have
a profound impact on the rest of my life. We found a sec luded spot in the woods that opened up
to a pristine wetland area. Once we situated our vans, we
were overcome by the quiet and beauty of the place. It
dawned on me that this wo uld be a good place to do
some m editation. I was just a novice, but I was very
serious about doing the practices and finding out what it
would be like i f the voice actually stopped. I asked Shelly
and our friends if I could spend some time by myself. No
one objected, so I meandered down by the grassy lake
and found a nice spot to sit. The whole notion of
meditating was  so meaningful to me that from the start it
was like a sacred experience. I picked a tree to sit under,
just like the Buddha. Then, very dramatically, I told
myself, I’m not getting up unt il I’ve reached
enlightenment. What happened under that tree that day was so
powerful that even now my body shivers and my eyes
begin to tear just to think about it.4. A b s o l u t e  S i l e n c e
I  crossed my legs in a full-lotus position. I knew I wasn’t
proficient enou gh to hold that posture for long, but I
thought I might as well start with the official meditation
position. I straightened my back and neck, and I began to
concentrate on  my breath expanding and contracting in
my abd omen. The Zen book instructed me to make the
Mu  sou nd way do wn in my belly, below the belly button. I watched my breath go in and out from way down there. I wa s intending to sit for muc h longer than I had done
previously, so I used my will to concentrate with extra
intensity and sincerity. It must have made a difference
because I went deeper insi de than I had ever gone
before. It seemed that concentrating on the movement of
the breath in my belly created a force that linked the
outflow of breath from my nostrils with the inner
movement of my abdomen. Every time I breathed slowly
out my nose, I felt a warm, inviting sensation throughout
the area below my belly. The sensation was so nice that
my attention naturally centered there. For a period of
time, I simply lost myself in the beauty of the experience. Some ti me later, the length o f which I had no way of
telling, the mental voice began talking about how
beautiful the experience was  and how this must be real
meditation. Since my awar eness was drawn to that
mental voice, it was drawn away from concentrating on
the breath. The meditation experience seemed to have
run its natural  course, and I began to come down to my
normal mental state.But this meditation session was supposed to be
different. I had told myself I w asn’t getting up until I had
broken through. So I willfully began concentrating anew
on the movem ent of the breath in my belly and on the
sound of Mu. I lost myself once again in the warm
flowing force that tied my ex halations to the warmth in
my abdomen. The force became much stronger as I
concentrated more deeply. E ventually, all consciousness
of my body an d my surroundings was gone. I was only
aware of the effortless flow  of warm energy that was
building and expanding at the core of my belly. I was not
there; only the flow was there. From time to time, for brie f moments, my sense of
self-awareness would drift b ack into focus. The instant
that sta rted to happen, I would willfully focus on the
feeling of the exhaled breath  and the movement of my
belly—and, in stantly, I was no longer there. This
experience of drifting in and  out of the deep state went
on for a prolonged period of time, perhaps hours. At s ome point, I must have  lost the will to refocus
during one of those mom ents when self-awareness
returned. I had been far gone in a very deep and peaceful
place, but I started to come back. I don’t know how long I
had actually been sitting, but the first thing I became
aware o f was the pain in my legs. They hurt a great deal
from sitting in a full-lotus po sition for so long. The voice
of th e m ind ha d not started b ack up yet. I was just there,
kind of dazed, but very peaceful and deeply mesmerized
by the experie nce. I suppose I would have continued to
come down, but an amazing thing happened. From back
behind where my sense of awareness had been centering
came a booming voice. It said  very sternly: “DO YOU OR
DO YOU NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS BEYOND
YOU?”
This wa s not the voice of th e mind I was so used to
struggling with. Ever since I first noticed that chattering
voice, it was t alking in front of and below where I satinside. This new invocation came from behind and above
where m y sens e of awareness was now situated. In any
event, i ts stern challenge shook me to the depths of my
being. I didn’t feel the need to answer the question,
because every drop of me yearned to go deeper. So I took
a br eath in, then deeply pu shed myself into the out-
breath, and I was gone. When my sense of self-awareness began to coagulate
again, my experience of being was very different from
anything I had ever experien ced before. I felt pain in my
legs, bu t they were very far  away and the pain had a
warmth and beauty to it. As I regained some awareness
of my body, I tried to lean my head a tiny bit forward. Nothing moved. It was as though my forehead was
pressed again st a wall. Something very solid was
resisting even the slightest movement of my head
forward. I immediately realized that the sheer intensity
of my concentration had created a well-defined force that
flowed outward from my forehead and curved back to the
point in my lower abdomen where I had been
concentrating. I know this must sound strange, but it felt
like a magneti c field that wa s so strong I simply could
not move against it. This was not the only powerful energy I was
experiencing. I had been sitting in a full-lotus posture
with my hands resting on my crossed feet. In that
position the whole of my hands, arms, and shoulders
formed a closed circle. Now that complete circle had
become another one of these force fields. I could neither
move forward nor sideways—I was locked in what I can
only describe as perpendicular energy flows. Whenever I
breathed out, the flows be came more tangible and
intense. The entire exper ience was so completely
enthralling that I did not actually regain awareness of my
surroundings. I only came down far enough to see that
my body was overcome by these energy flows. Then, onceagain, I heard: “DO YOU OR  DO YOU NOT WANT TO
KNOW WHAT IS BEYOND YOU?”
I im mediately took a deep breath in and with great
intention slowly exhaled through my nostrils. It was as
though the outgoing breath pushing against the magnetic
force fields created upward lift. That upward and inward
propulsion beg an to drive m e to an even deeper place,
beyond any sense of self-awareness. One more breath in
and out, and I was completely gone. Perhaps you would like to ask where I went. That’s
reasonable, but I’m unable to answer that question. I
only kn ow tha t each time I came back, I was in a more
elevated state than when I left. When I came back from
nowhere the next time, everything was very different. There was no subtle resistance to having returned. There
was no sense o f urgency to hold on to the elevated state. There was only peace—deep, deep peace. And there was
absolute silence, a silence that nothing could possibly
disturb. It was so still that pe rhaps there had never ever
been any sound here for all eternity. It was like outer
space where there is no atmosphere, so there can be no
sound. Sound requires a me dium in which to travel. In
the place I returned to, there was no such medium. I was
truly experiencing the sound of silence. Most important, there was no voice. There was not
even the memory of what it would be like to have chatter
in th at sacred place. It was gone. All gone. All that was
left was awareness of being. I simply existed, nothing
more. This time no stern bec koning entreated me to go
beyond. It was time to come back. The first thing I noticed as I became aware of my
surroundings was that the external energy flows I
experienced earlier had drawn inward. I now felt a very
beautiful flow of energy up my spine to the middle of my
forehead. I had never experienced this before, and
almost all my awareness was drawn

provides	this	in	abundance. I	like	to	stare	into	open	space. I	am	fortunate	enough	to	have	miles	of
untouched	bog	land	in	the	front	of	where	I	live. I	have	been	looking	and
merging	with	this	for	a	number	of	years,	yet	each	time	feels	like	the	first. Because	I	set	aside	my	mind	and	put	my	entire	attention	on	it,	I	become	one
with	it. No	matter	how	many	times	a	day	I	look,	there	is	newness,	freshness	and
aliveness. I	am	not	looking	at	the	countryside	through	thoughts,	through
labels,	through	names. I	get	so	much	more	when	I	truly	look. Nature	is
constantly	changing,	dying	and	renewing. Therefore,	each	time	I	look	without
the	filter	of	my	mind,	the	landscape	has	changed	from	before. A	river	that
flows	is	not	the	same	river	five	minutes	later. Nor	is	it	the	same	river	five
minutes	before. The	water	is	different. One	pheasant	is	not	the	same	as	the
next. Humans	might	attach	the	same	label	by	calling	it	a	pheasant,	but	each	is
unique,	beautiful	and	individual. The	essence	of	nature	is	not	understood	through	thought. Truly	appreciating
nature	does	not	come	through	the	amount	of	information	or	the	names	you
attach	to	different	flowers,	birds	or	animals. You	are	not	going	into	nature	to
exercise	your	mind. Instead,	go	into	nature	to	give	your	mind	a	rest. Who
cares	about	the	name	of	the	tree	or	the	bird? Instead,	just	look	at	the	tree	or
bird	without	thought	and	sense	its	aliveness. This	is	far	more	important	than
knowing	a	mere	label. If	you	have	great	difficulty	doing	this	and	your	mind	continues	to	bombard
you	with	thought,	then	take	this	process	little	by	little. In	addition	to	stilling
your	mind	through	nature,	watch	your	breath	and	pay	attention	to	your	inner
body. Feel	your	body	from	the	inside. Be	connected	with	it. Feel	your	body	as
you	merge	with	the	life	around	you. Life	takes	care	of	the	flowers,	grass,	trees
and	birds. There	is	nothing	wanting	here. Nature	is	immersed	in	stillness	and
will	help	take	you	there,	too. You	have	nothing	to	do	but	to	stop	thinking. Simple	things	that	life	has	to	offer

Write	down	sixty	things	that	you	love	to	do. Write	down	things	that	totally
absorb	your	mind	to	the	point	of	excluding	all	else. List	anything,	with	the

	the	time	of	the	survey	in	1983)	was
very	different	from	the	United	States	in	two	ways. First,	fat	was	only	14.5%
of	calorie	intake	in	China,	compared	with	about	36%	in	the	U.S.	Second,	the
amount	of	fat	in	the	diets	of	rural	China	depended	almost	entirely	on	theamount	of	animal-based	food	in	the	diet,	just	like	the
findings	in
Chart	4.7
. The	correlation	between	dietary	fat	and	animal	protein	in	rural	China	was
very	high,	at	70-84%,
33
	similar	to	the	93%	seen	when	comparing	different
countries. 23
CHART	4.8:	ANIMAL	FAT	INTAKE	AND	BREAST	CANCER
	CHART	4.9:	PLANT	FAT	INTAKE	AND	BREAST	CANCER
This	is	important	because	in	China	and	the	international	studies,	fat
consumption	was	only	an	indication	of
animal-based	food
	consumption. Thus,	the	association	between	fat	and	breast	cancer	might	really	be	telling	us
that	as	consumption	of
animal-based	foods
	goes	up,	so	does	breast	cancer. This	is	not	the	case	in	the	U.S.,	where	we	selectively	add	or	remove	fat	from
our	foods	and	our	diets. We	get	as	much	or	more	fat	from	plant-based	food
(potato	chips,	French	fries)	as	we	get	from	processed	animal-based	foods
(skim	milk,	lean	cuts	of	meat). China	does	not	tinker	with	fat	in	their	food
supply	as	we	do	here. At	this	very	low	range	of	dietary	fat	in	China,	from	6%-24%,	I	initially
thought	that	dietary	fat	would	not	be	linked	with	diseases	like	heart	disease	or
the	various	cancers,	as	it	is	in	the	West. Some	people	in	the	U.S.—like	many
of	my	colleagues	in	science	and	medicine—call	a	30%	fat	diet	a	“low-fat”
diet. Therefore,	a	low-fat	diet	containing	only
25-30%	fat	was	thought	to	be
low	enough	to	obtain	the	maximum	amount	of	health	benefits. This	implied
that	going	lower	provided	no	further	benefit. Surprise! Findings	from	rural	China	showed	that	reducing	dietary	fat	from	24%	to
6%	was	associated	with	lower	breast	cancer	risk. However,	lower	dietary	fat
in	rural	China	meant	less	consumption	not	only	of	fat	but,	more	importantly,
of	animal-based	food. This	connection	of	breast	cancer	with	dietary	fat,	thus	with	animal-basedfoods,	brought	into	consideration	other	factors	that	also	place	a	woman	at	risk
for	breast	cancer:
Early	age	of	menarche	(age	of	first	menstruation)
High	blood	cholesterol
Late	menopause
High	exposure	to	female	hormones
What	does	the	China	Study	show	regarding	these	risk	factors? Higher
dietary	fat	is	associated	with	higher	blood	cholesterol
I
	and	both	of	these
factors,	along	with	higher	female	hormone	levels,	are	associated,	in	turn,	with
more	breast	cancer
I
	and	earlier	age	of	menarche. I
The	much	later	age	of	menarche	in	rural	China	is	remarkable. Twenty-five
women	in	each	of	the	130	villages	in	the	survey	were	asked	when	they	had
their	first	menstrual	period. The	range	of	village	averages	was	fifteen	to
nineteen	years,	with	an	average	of	seventeen	years. The	U.S.	average	is
roughly	eleven	years! Many	studies	have	shown	that	earlier	menarche	leads	to	higher	risk	for
breast	cancer. 34
	Menarche	is	triggered	by	the	growth	rate	of	the	girl;	the	faster
the	growth,	the	earlier	the	age	of	onset. It	also	is	well	established	that	rapid
growth	of	young	girls	often	leads	to	greater	adult	body	height	and	more	body
weight	and	body	fatness,	each	of	which	is	associated	with	higher	breast
cancer	risk. Early	age	of	menarche,	both	in	Chinese	and	in	Western	women,
also	leads	to	higher	levels	of	blood	hormones	such	as	estrogen. These
hormone	levels	remain	high	throughout	the	reproductive	years	if	consumption
of	a	diet	rich	in	animal-based	food	is	maintained. Under	these	conditions,	age
of	menopause	is	deferred	by	three	to	four	years,
I
	thus	extending	the
reproductive	life	from	beginning	to	end	by	about	nine	to	ten	years	and	greatly
increasing	lifetime	exposure	to	female	hormones. Other	studies	have	shown
that	an	increase	in	years	of	reproductive	life	is	associated	with	increased
breast	cancer	risk. 35,	36
This	network	of	relationships	becomes	still	more	impressive. Higher
fat
consumption	is	associated	with	higher	blood	levels	of	estrogen	during	the
critical	years	of	thirty-five	to	forty-four	years
III
	and	higher	blood	levels	of	the
female	hormone	prolactin	during	the	later	years	of	fifty-five	to	sixty-four
years. III
	These	hormones	are	highly	correlated	with	animal	protein	intake
III
and	milk
III
	and	meat. II
	Unfortunately	we	could	not	demonstrate	whether	these
hormone	levels	were	directly	related	to	breast	cancer	risk	in	China	because
the	rate	of	disease	is	so	low. 37
Nonetheless,	when	hormone	levels	among	Chinese	women	were	comparedwith	those	of	British	women,
38
	Chinese	estrogen	levels	were	only	about	one-
half	those	of	the	British	women,	who	have	an	equivalent	hormone	profile	to
that	of	American	women. Because	the	length	of	the	reproductive	life	of	a
Chinese	woman	is	only	about	75%	of	that	of	the	British	(or	American)
woman,	this	means	that	with	lower	estrogen	levels,	the	Chinese	woman	only
experiences	about	35-40%	of	the	lifetime	estrogen	exposure	of	British	(and
American)	women. This	corresponds	to	Chinese	breast	cancer	rates	that	are
only	one-fifth	of	those	of	Western	women. The	strong	association	of	a	high-animal	protein,	high-fat	diet	with
reproductive	hormones	and	early	age	of	menarche,	both	of	which	raise	the
risk	of	breast	cancer,	is	an	important	observation. It	makes	clear	that	we
should	not	have	our	children	consume	diets	high	in	animal-based	foods. If
you	are	a	woman,	would	you	ever	have	imagined	that	eating	diets	higher	in
animal-based	foods	would	expand	your	reproductive	life	by	about	nine	to	ten
years? As	an	aside,	an	interesting	implication	of	this	observation,	as	noted	by
Ms.	magazine	founder	Gloria	Steinem,	is	that	eating	the	right	foods	could
reduce	teenage	pregnancy	by	delaying	the	age	of	menarche. Beyond	the	hormone	findings,	is	there	a	way	to	show	that	animal-based
food	intake	relates	to	overall	cancer	rates? This	is	somewhat	difficult,	but	one
of	the	factors	we	measured	was	how	much	cancer	there	was	in	each	family. Animal	protein	intake	was	convincingly	associated	in	the	China	Study	with
the	prevalence	of	cancer	in	families. III
	This	association	is	an	impressive	and
significant	observation,	considering	the	unusually	low	intake	of	animal
protein


ir	attitude	was
born	out	of	the	fact	that	scientific	research	showing	effective	dietary
intervention	of	heart	disease	in	humans	wasn’t	yet	strong	enough. But	later,
scientific	results	of	unparalleled	success,	including	Esselstyn’s,	were
published. The	data	have	been	strong,	consistent	and	deep,	yet	Ess	still
encountered	reluctance	to	embrace	this	idea:
You	take	a	cardiologist	and	he’s	learned	all	about	beta	blockers,	he’s
learned	about	calcium	antagonists,	he’s	learned	about	how	to	run	this
catheter	up	into	your	heart	and	blow	up	balloons	or	laser	it	or	stent	it
without	killing	you	and	it’s	very	sophisticated. And	there’s	all	these
nurses	and	there’s	lights	out	and	there’s	drama. I	mean	it’s	just,	oh	my
god,	the	doctor	blows	up	the	balloon	in	his	head. The	ego	of	thesepeople	is	enormous. And	then	someone	comes	along	and	says,	“You
know,	I	think	we	can	cure	this	with	brussels	sprouts	and	broccoli.”
The
doctor’s	response	is,	“WHAT? I	learned	all	this	crap,	I’m	making	a
freakin’	fortune,	and	you	want	to	take	it	all	away?”
Then	when	that	person	comes	along	and	actually	cures	patients	with
brussels	sprouts	and	broccoli,	as	Esselstyn	did,	and	gets	better	results	than	any
other	pill	or	procedure	known,	you’ve	suddenly	announced	that	something
works,	hands	down,	better	than	what	99%	of	the	profession	is	doing. Summarizing	his	point,	Ess	says:
Cardiologists	are	supposed	to	be	expert	in	diseases	of	the	heart—and
yet	they	have	no	expertise	in	treating	heart	disease,	and	when	that
awareness	strikes	them,	they	get	very	defensive. They	can	treat	the
symptoms,	they	can	take	care	of	arrythmias,	they	can	get	you
interventions,	but	they	don’t	know	how	to	treat	the	disease,	which	is	a
nutritional	treatment.…	Imagine	a	dietitian	training	a	heart	surgeon! Esselstyn	has	found	that	merely	saying	that	patients	can	have	control	over
their	own	health	is	a	challenge	to	many. These	experts,	after	all,	are	built	up	to
be	the	dispensers	of	health	and	healing. “Intellectually	it’s	very	challenging	to
think	that	the	patient	can	do	this	with	greater	alacrity,	dispatch,	safety,	and	it’s
something	that’s	going	to	endure.”	With	all	of	the	doctor’s	gadgets,
technologies,	training	and	knowledge,	nothing	is	more	effective	than	guiding
the	patient	to	make	the	right	lifestyle	choices. But	Ess	is	quick	to	point	out	that	doctors	are	not	malicious	people	engaged
in	a	conspiracy:
The	only	person	that	likes	change	is	a	newborn,	and	it’s	natural,	it’s
human	nature. Anywhere	you	go,	99%	of	the	people	are	eating
incorrectly. The	numbers	are	against	you,	and	it’s	very	hard	for	those
99%	to	look	at	you	in	the	1%	and	say,	“Yes,	he’s	right,	we	are	all
wrong.”
Another	obstacle:	lack	of	nutrition	knowledge	amongst	physicians. Ess	has
had	his	share	of	interaction	with	ignorant	doctors,	and	his	impression	is	that
“it’s	absolutely	daunting,	the	lack	of	physician	knowledge	that	there	is	about
the	fact	that	disease	can	be	reversed. You	wonder,	what	is	the	literature	that
these	guys	read?”
Physician	knowledge	often	involves	only	the	standard	treatments:	pills	and
procedures. “What	does	the	twentieth	century	of	medicine
have	to	offer? Wehave	pills	and	we	have	procedures. Right?”	Esselstyn	leans	forward	and,	with
a	slight	grin,	as	if	he’s	about	to	tell	us	the	emperor	has	no	clothes,	he	says,
“
But	who	ever	says,	‘Maybe	we	ought	to	stop	disease’? ”	In	Dr.	Esselstyn’s
experience,	stopping	disease	does	not	figure	prominently	into	the	status	quo.LACK	OF	TRAINING
The	medical	status	quo	relies	heavily	on	medication	and	surgery,	at	the
exclusion	of	nutrition	and	lifestyle. Doctors	have	virtually
no	training	in
nutrition	and	how	it	relates	to	health. In	1985	the	United	States	National
Research	Council	funded	an	expert	panel	report	that	investigated	the	quantity
and	quality	of	nutrition	education	in	U.S.	medical	schools. 4
	The	committee’s
findings	were	clear:	“The	committee	concluded	that	nutrition	education
programs	in	U.S.	medical	schools	are	largely	inadequate	to	meet	the	present
and	future	demands	of	the	medical	profession.”
4
	But	this	finding	was	nothing
new. The	committee	noted	that	in	1961	the	“American	Medical	Association
Council	on	Foods	and	Nutrition	reported	that	nutrition	in	the	U.S.	medical
schools	received	‘inadequate	recognition,	support	and	attention.’”
4,	5
	In	other
words,	over	forty	years	ago,	the	doctors	themselves	said	that	their	nutrition
training	was	inadequate. Nothing	had	changed	by	1985,	and	up	to	the	present
time,	articles	continue	to	be	written	documenting	the	lack	of	nutrition	training
in	medical	schools. 6,	7
This	situation	is	dangerous. Nutrition	training	of	doctors	is	not	merely
inadequate;	it	is	practically	nonexistent. In	1985,	the	National	Research
Council	report	found	that	physicians	receive,	on	average,	only	twenty-one
classroom	hours	(about	two	credits)	of	nutrition	training	during	their	four
years	of	medical	school. 4
	The	majority	of	the	schools	surveyed	actually
taught	less	than	twenty	contact	hours	of	nutrition,	or	one	to	two	credit	hours. By	comparison,	an	undergraduate	nutrition	major	at	Cornell	will	receive
twenty-five	to	forty	credit	hours	of	instruction,	or	about	250–500	contact
hours;	registered	dietitians	will	have	more	than	500	contact	hours. It	gets	worse. The	bulk	of	these	nutrition	hours	are	taught	in	the	first	year
of	medical	school,	as	part	of	other	basic	science	courses. Topics	covered	in	a
basic	biochemistry	course	may	include	nutrient	metabolism	and/or
biochemical	reactions	involving	certain	vitamins	or	minerals. In	other	words,
nutrition	is	often	not	taught	in	relation	to	public	health	problems,	like	obesity,
cancer,	diabetes,	etc. In	conjunction	with	the	1985
government	report,	the
president	of	the	American	Medical	Students	Association,	William	Kassler,
writes
8
:
Most	nutrition	in	the	formal	curriculum	is	incorporated	into	other
courses. Biochemistry,	physiology	and	pharmacology	are	the	courses
most	often	alleged	to	contain	some	nutrition	instruction. Too	often	in
such	courses,	nutrition	is	touched	on	briefly,	with	the	primary	emphasison	the	major	discipline. It	is	quite	possible	to	finish	such	a	course	and
not	even	realize	that	nutrition	was	covered
	[my	emphasis]. Nutrition
taught	by	those	whose	interest	and	expertise	lie	elsewhere	simply
doesn’t	work. It	gets	even	worse! When	nutrition	education	is	provided	in	relation	to
public	health	problems,	guess


uck’. (“My mind is like a
sponge: It has absorbed all the information, but I’m still in the same
place!”)
Because the lower levels of c onsciousness are the most painful and
dif ficult to endure, it seemed best to start up the ladder of consciousness
from the  very bottom levels, which are the most agonizing. Just because
they are  the most painful does not mean they are the most di f ficult to
transcend. On the contrary, the very pain of such lower levels ur ges one
forward to seek relief. In transc ending the levels of con sciousness, the importance of the human
‘will’ is emphasized because it is the most critical of all functions in
spiritual work. Relatively little  attention has been paid to the will inproportion to its extreme importance, for the will is the invitation to
Divine intervention.PREF ACE. The bas ic research on the natur e and levels of consciousness has been
described in previous works. The first was published in the form of a
dissertation ( Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis and Calibration of
the Levels of Human Consciousness, 1995.) Next came Power vs. For ce
(also 1995), which included  explanations and elaboratio ns. The
following two books were devoted to spiritual truth and enligh tenment:
The Eye of the I (2001), and I: Reality and Subjectivity (2003). While the last two books were devoted to personal enlightenment, T ruth
vs. Falsehood (2005) investiga ted the distribution and evolution of levels
of c onsciousnes s in public life and society, as well as in the individual. The thrust of th at study was to denote a roadway to peace and  integrity
and hop efully lessen the likelihood of war by providing an accessible,
pragmatic, clinical science of truth. This book returns to focusing  on the individual and stud ying the
experiential subjective blocks to the advancement of consciousness that
leads to  progressive spiritual awareness and on to higher levels of
consciousness p reparatory to advanced states such as Enlig htenment
itself. The material is drawn from multiple sources, including fifty years
of psychiatric practice; psychoanalysis; twenty-five years of research
into the nature of consciousness; and transformative, subjective spiritual
experiences that have been described elsewhere. In t his book, as in previous ones, the calibrated levels o f major
statements are included. Note th at due to more recent discoveries in the evolving field of
consciousness re search, the instructions for doing the muscle test have
been revised and updated (see Appendix B).INTRODUCTION

The all-pervasive universal ener gy field called consciousness is of
infinite power and dimension beyond time and is compositionally
nonlinear. It is the ‘light of the world’ as it emanates f rom the
Unmanifest to the Manifest, from  the nonlinear, infinite potentiality to its
linear expression as the unfolding of Creation (the circumscribed,
perceived physical domain). The power of the infinite field of consciousness and its infinite
potentiality man ifests as matter. Later, the interface of the Light of
Divinity as the field of consciou sness in its encounter with matt er results
in the emer gence of the unique quality and ener gy of life itself. Although
matter h as enorm ous potentialit y, it lacks the innate quality or power to
evolve t o the field of existenc e termed ‘life’. Matter plus e volution
results in the dimension of ‘time’. Then, matter plus time is expressed as
‘space’, subsequent to which the existence of time, space, and matter is
discernible by intelligence, an a spect of Divinity expressed as L ife. That
life ema nates solely as a cons equence of Divinity is confirmable at
consciousness level 1,000, the level of the Absolute. Creation is capable of being known solely by virtue of the pre sence of
consciousness, which is the very matrix of existence itself. Thus,
consciousness is the irreducible  a priori reality by which the linear is
perceived by the subjective awareness of the nonlinear. Consciousness t hen evolves through progressive levels of power that can
be c alibrated as to relative streng th, much as is done with a light  meter or
any oth er measurement of ener gy waves, whether kinetic, radio, or
magnetic comp onents of the well-known stratifications ca lled the
electromagnetic spectrum. In th e 1970s, a clinical science emer ged based on the use of life ener gy
and its interaction with the inf inite field of consciousness itself. This
resulted in the c alibrated levels of the Map of Consciousness  that has
subsequently be come well known worldwide as a consequence of its
presentation in a series of bo oks in many languages and n umerous
lectures in the United States, Canada, Asia, and Europe. The desi gnated l evels were stratified in accordance with their nu merical,
calibrated levels of power according to a logarithmic scale from ‘1’
(indicating existence) to the highest level at ‘1,000’, which is the highest
ener gy f ield pos sible in the hum an domain and reached by only  the few
throughout history who have traditionally been referred to as the Great
A vatars (the founders of the wor ld’ s great religions, such as Jesu s Christ,
Buddha, Zoroaster, and Krishn a), and who were enlightened by the
Divine Presence  that replaced the linear, limited, ordinary human mind
with the nonlinear Reality. The  Self, indicative of the presenc e of the
Divine as immanent, is sometim es referred to in classical lite rature as
Universal Mind. By transcendence, the ego-self is replaced by the non-
ego Self  (see Hawkins, 1995, 2 001, 2003). This phenomenon has been
traditionally termed ‘Enlightenment’. The emer gence of a clinical s cience of truth has been desc ribed in
previous works. One important statement about the infinite field of
consciousness is that it represents the Absolute by which all else can be
calibrated as to degrees of being relative to it. The mechanism is the
living clinical science of muscle  testing, which uses the human  nervous
system and the ener gy of life  as expressed through the acu puncture
ener gy system as the requisite sensitive biological measuring instrument. (The technique cannot be duplicated by nonliving scientific instruments.) In t he presence of T ruth, the  body’ s musculature goes ‘strong’. In
contrast, it goes ‘weak’ when c onfronted with falsehood (whi ch is the
absence of truth, not its opposite). This is a rapid and transitory response
that quickly reveals the degree of truth of the presented stimulus. The infinitely powerful, all-present timeless field of consciousness is
comparable to an electrostatic fi eld that is motionless unless trig gered by
the chal lenge of a presenting e lectrical char ge that then activates the
electrostatic fiel d, which responds with an equal and opposite char ge to
precisely the same degree. The electrostatic field, in and of its elf, does
not ‘do’ anything but merely responds and records. Unlike the electrostatic field, the timeless field of consciousness is
permanent and thereby records  all that has occurred or existed from
within time/space/evolution. The field itself stands beyond time, space,
or any known d imension and instead includes all dimensions, without
being altered by them. The in finite field is omnipresent, omnipotent,omniscient, and  uniquely identifiable as the Absolute by w hich all
expressions of evolution or existence can be compared. Everything in the universe, inclu ding even a passing thought, is recorded
forever in the timeless field o f consciousness, which is everywhere
equally present. All that has ever occurred, either physically or by
thought, is equally available because the field is beyond time and space. There is no ‘here’ or ‘there’; there is no ‘now’ or ‘then’. The totality is
equally and permanently present everywhere. The Ma p of Consciousness is t herefore a very practical and pragmatic
guide to understanding the evolutionary levels of consciousness to be
transcended in pursuit of spiritual advancement, enlightenment, or self-
improvement. I t also provides a pragmatic map of the obs tacles to
overcome in order to achieve more optimal levels of consciousness. Calibrations do not establish truth but merely confirm it and lend
additional corroboration. Section One. Calibration Levels Below 200. The Ego. Overview:. The Evolution of Consciousness. Chapter 1. Shame. (Cal. Level 20). Chapter 2. Guilt/Hate. (Cal. Level 30).

how they are separated.) You may exchange your noon  meal for the evening meal, but follow the same regimen. It takes exercise to handle raw food, and
we generally get more after our noon meal. That is why a raw salad is advised at noon. If you eat sandwiches, have vegetables  at
the same time. SUGGESTED DIN NER MENUS

THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
The immune system is made up of a system of specialized tissues, cells and antibodies, in addition to that aspect of immunity that
we think of as represented by healthy, chemically -balanced organs, glands and tissues in a body with active, clean elimination
channels. External to the body, the skin is our first line of defense against toxins, germlife and viruses. Tears in the eyes and skin
perspiration have bacteriocidal properties. Internally, mucous membranes lining the nose, throat and lungs prevent most unwan ted
microbes from entering  the body. Sticky mucus captures the great majority of germs and viruses, which are ejected when the
mucus is eliminated. Most germlife taken in food is destroyed by hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Bacteria and viruses that
manage to enter the bloodstrea m or lymph are unable to get through most healthy cellular membranes, and they face almost certain
destruction by other parts of the immune system. The four elimination channels (skin, lungs and bronchials, kidneys, bowel) play an important part in immuni ty by ridding the body
of food wastes and metabolic wastes that would otherwise support the growth and multiplication of harmful germs and viruses. The liver detoxifies the blood as a “backup system” for the elimination channels. The immune system, strictl y speaking, is made
up of the lymphatic system, including the spleen, tonsils and appendix and some breast tissue, but also the tnymus gland, the
Kupfer cells of the liver, and Peyer’s patches in the small intestine.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

Q: What should I do if I am not capable of completing the 7-day program?,
A: It is suggested that you start with a 1-day program, as the elderly or seriously ill may only be able to complete this treatment for one day.
Q: Can I take the niacin supplements with coffee and clay water in the colema?,
A: No, it's best not to mix the two, as they have separate effects. Niacin is taken in a separate interval.
Q: Why should I not eat dairy products during the program?,
A: Dairy products can produce mucus, catarrh, and bronchial troubles.
Q: Can I continue to take the supplements after the 7-day program is completed?,
A: No, you should not take the supplements during the 7-day program. However, you can start taking them after the treatment is completed.
Q: Can I take the colema in the morning or evening?,
A: It is recommended to take the colema in the morning, but it can also be taken at night if morning is not possible.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>The lymph system produces several types  of specialized cells
capable of destroying bacteria and unwanted foreign matter, white blood cells called by such interesting names as
polymorpholeucocytes, phagocytes, B -cells and T -cells. Kupfer cells, lining the spaces of the liver, consume bacteria fr om the
blood as it is filtered. The cells of the Peyer’s patches, in the small intestine, operate in a similar way, preventing destr uctive
bacteria from attacking the intestinal wall. Special cells in the spleen destroy old blood cells. The lymphatic syste m has thousands
of miles of lymph vessels in the body, paralleling the blood circulatory system. Along these lymph vessels are found nodes ra nging
in size from a pinhead to a pencil eraser, and clusters of these nodes are found in the groin, armpits and ne ck. Lymph nodes filter
out bacteria and foreign matter from the liquids of the body. Specialized white blood cells circulate in the blood and lymph,
destroying undesirable germlife and toxic waste as they go along. Antibodies and a chemical substance calle d interferon work
together to protect the body against viruses. Interferon is a chemical secreted in response to viral invasion, which protects  cells and
slows viral action. Antibodies are proteins whose job is to identify and destroy harmful viruses. In a  complex series of actions,
special cells first learn to identify the “weak spots” of harmful viruses, and then antibodies are manufactured which are abl e to
track down these vi -ruses, attach themselves directly to them, and destroy them. When the elimina tion channels are underactive, toxic materials enter the blood and lymph systems too rapidly to be cleaned out by
the liver and immune system functions. These toxic materials settle in the inherently weak organs and tissues, either directl y
causing under -activity, or inviting infection by viruses or bacteria. The immune system becomes increasingly underactive, leaving
the body more and more unprotected against germlife, toxic wastes, and various chronic and degenerative diseases. The strongest natural defen se against disease is a clean, rested body, chemically balanced with the proper foods, with healthy,
active elimination channels. CHAPTER 9

May I take just a minute to clarify what was said last night. A lady felt
from what I said last night that I am anti one nation. I do hope that I am
not anti any nation, race or belief. If perchance I used a nation, it was
only to illustrate a point. What I tried to tell you was this – we become what we contemplate. For it
is the nature of love, as it is the nature of hate, to change us into the like -
ness of that which we contemplate. Last night I simply read a news item
to show you that when we think we can destroy our image by breaking
the mirror, we are only fooling ourselves. When, through war on revolution, we destroy titles which to us represent
arrogance and greed, we become in time the embodiment of that which
we thought we had destroyed. So today the people who thought they de -
stroyed the tyrants are themselves that which they thought they had de -
stroyed. That I may not be misunderstood, let me again lay the foundation of this
principle. Consciousness is the one and only reality. We are incapable of
seeing other than the contents of our own consciousness. Therefore, hate betrays us in the hour of victory and condemns us to be
that which we condemn. All conquest results in an exchange of character -
istics, so that conquerors become like the conquered foe. We hate others
for the evil which is in ourselves. Races, nations, and religious groups
have lived for centuries in intimate hostility, and it is the nature of hatred,
as it is the nature of love, to change us into the likeness of that which we
contemplate. Nations act toward other nations as their own citizens act toward each
other. When slavery exists in a state and that nation attacks another it is
with intent to enslave. When there is a fierce economic competition be -
tween citizen and citizen, then in war with another nation the object of
the war is to destroy the trade of the enemy. Wars of domination are
brought about by the will of those who within a state are dominant over
the fortunes of the rest. We radiate the world that surrounds us by the intensity of our imagination
and feeling. But in this third-dimensional world of ours time beats slowly. And so we do not always observe the relationship of the visible world to
our inner nature. Now that is really what I meant. I thought I had said it. That I may not be
misunderstood, that is my principle. You and I can contemplate an ideal,
and become it by falling in love with it. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenOn the other hand we can contemplate something we heartily dislike and
by condemning it we will become it. But because of the slowness of time
in this three-dimensional world, when we do become what we contem -
plated we have forgotten that formerly we set out to worship or destroy
it. Tonight's lesson is the capstone of the Bible, so do give me your atten -
tion. The most important question asked in the Bible will be found in the
16th chapter of the Gospel of St Matthew. As you know, all of the Bible stories are your stories; its characters live
only in the mind of man. They have no reference at all to any person, who
lived in time and space, or to any event that ever occurred upon earth. *****
The drama related in Matthew takes place in this manner. Jesus turns to
his disciples and asks them, “Whom do men say that I the Son of man
am?” (Matt 16:13). “And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and
others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”
“He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?”
“And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou are the Christ, the Son of the
living God.”
“And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jon -
ah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it until thee, but my Father
which is in heaven.”
“And I say also unto thee that thou are Peter, and upon this rock I will
build my church.” (Matt 16:14-18). Jesus turning to his disciples is man turning to his disciplined mind in self-
contemplation. You ask yourself the question, “Whom do men say that I
am?” In our language, “I wonder what men think of me?”
You answer, “Some say John come again, some say Elias, others say
Jeremiah, and still others a prophet of old come again.”
It is very flattering to be told that you are, or that you resemble, the
great men of the past, but enlightened reason is not enslaved by public
opinion. It is only concerned with the truth so it asks itself another ques -
tion, “But whom say ye that I am?” In other words, “Who am I?”
More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenIf I am bold enough to assume that I am Christ Jesus, the answer will
come back, “Thou are Christ Jesus.”
When I can assume it and feel it and boldly live it, I will say to myself,
“Flesh and blood could not have told me this. But my Father which is in
Heaven revealed it unto me.” Then I make this concept of self the rock on
which I establish my church, my world. “If ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins.” (John 8:24). Because consciousness is the only reality I must assume that I am al -
ready that which I desire to be. If I do not believe that I am already what
I want to be, then I remain as I am and die in this limitation. Man is always looking for some prop on which to lean. He is always look -
ing for some excuse to justify his failure. This revelation gives man no ex -
cuse for failure. His concept of himself is the cause of all the circum -
stances of his life. All changes must first come from within himself; and if
he does not change on the outside it is because he has not changed with -
in. But man does not like to feel that he is solely responsible for the con -
ditions of his life. “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more
with him.”
“Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?”
“Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we

Scripturally we could say that we are the image and the likeness
of God. We could say toe are another way that the Universe
is becoming conscious of itself We could say that we are the
infinite field of unfolding possibility. All of that would be true. "Ninety-nine percent of who you are is invisible
and untouchable." You are God in a physical body. You are Spirit in the flesh. You are
Eternal Life expressing itself as You. You are a cosmic being. You
are all power. You are all wisdom. You are all intelligence. You are
perfection. You are magnificence. You are the creator, and you are
creating the creation of You on this planet. JAMES RAY
Every tradition has told you that you were created in the
image and likeness of the creative source. That means that
you have God potential and power to create your world,
and you are. The Secret to You 165
Maybe you've created things to this point that are wonderful
and worthy of you, and maybe you haven't. The question
I'd ask you to consider is, "Are the results you have in your
life what you really want? And are they worthy of you?" If
they're not worthy of you, then wouldn't now be the right
time to change those? Because you have the power to do that. "All power is from within and therefore
under our control." JACKCANFIELD
A lot of people feel like they're victims in life, and they'll often
point to past events, perhaps growing up with an abusive
parent or in a dysfunctional family. Most psychologists
believe that about 85 percent of families are dysfunctional, so
all of a sudden you're not so unique. My parents were alcoholics. My dad abused me. My
mother divorced him when I was six.... I mean, that's
almost everybody's story in some form or not. The real
question is, what are you going to do now? What do you
choose now? Because you can either keep focusing on that, 166 The Secret
or you can focus on what you want. And when people start
focusing on what they want, what they don't want falls
away, and what they want expands, and the other part
disappears. "A person who sets his or her mind on the
dark side of life, who lives over and over
the misfortunes and disappointments of
the past, prays for similar misfortunes and
disappointments in the future. If you will
see nothing but ill luck in the future, you are
praying for such ill luck and will surely get it." LISA NICHOLS
You are the designer of your destiny. You are the author. You
write the story. The pen is in your hand, and the outcome is
whatever you choose. If you go back over your life and focus on the difficulties from the
past, you are just bringing more difficult circumstances to You now. Let it all go, no matter what it is. Do it for you. If you hold a grudge
or blame someone for something in the past, you are only harming
You. You are the only one who can create the life you deserve. As
you deliberately focus on what you want, as you begin to radiate
good feelings, the law of attraction will respond. All you have to do
is make a start, and as you do, you will unleash the magic. The Secret to You 167
MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
The beautiful thing about the law of attraction is that you
can begin where you are, and you can begin to think "real
thinking," and you can begin to generate within yourself a
feeling tone of harmony and happiness. The law will begin to
respond to that. DR. JOE VITALE
So now you start to have different beliefs, like, "There
is more than enough in the Universe." Or you have the
belief that, "I'm not getting older, I'm getting younger." We can create it the way we want it, by using the law of
attraction. MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
And you can break yourself free from your hereditary
patterns, cultural codes, social beliefs, and prove once and for
all that the power within you is greater than the power within
the world. DR FRED ALAN WOLF
You may be thinking, "Well, that's very nice, but I can't do
that." Or, "She won't let me do that!" Or, "He'll never let me
do that." Or, "I haven't got enough money to do that." Or,
"I'm not strong enough to do that." Or, "I'm not rich enough
to do that." Or, "I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not." -
Every single "I'm not" is a creation! 168 The Secret
It is a good idea to become aware when you say, "I'm not" and
to think about what you are creating as you say it. A powerful
insight shared by Dr. Wolf has been equally documented by all the
great teachers with the power of the words I am. When you say "I
am,' the words that follow are summoning creation with a mighty
force, because you are declaring it to be fact. You are stating it with
certainty. And so immediately after you say, "I am tired" or "I am
broke" or "I am sick" or "I am late" or "I am overweight" or "I am
old," the Genie says, "Your wish is my command." Knowing this, wouldn't it be a good idea to begin to use the two
most powerful words, I AM, to your advantage? How about, "I
AM receiving every good thing. I AM happy I AM abundant. I AM
healthy. I AM love. I AM always on time. I AM eternal youth. I AM
filled with energy every single day." In his book The Master Key System, Charles Haanel claims that there
is an affirmation that incorporates every single thing any human
being can want, and that this affirmation will bring about har-
monious conditions to all things. He adds, "The reason for this is
because the affirmation is in strict accordance with the Truth, and
when Truth appears every form of error or discord must necessar-
ily disappear." The affirmation is this: "I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, lov-
ing, harmonious, and happy." If it sounds like work to drag what you want out of the invis-
ible and into the visible, try this shortcut: see what you want as The Secret to You 169
absolute fact. This will manifest what you want with the speed of
light The second you ask, it is fact in the Universal spiritual field,
and that field is all that exists. When you conceive something in
your mind, know it is a fact, and that there can be no question
about its manifestation. When Henry Ford was bringing his vision of the motor vehicle into
our world, people around him ridiculed him and thought he had
gone mad to pursue such a "wild" vision. Henry Ford knew much
more than the people who ridiculed him. He knew The Secret and
he knew the law of the Universe. "Whether you think you can or think you can't,
either way you are right." Do you think you can? You can achieve and do anything you want
with this knowledge. In the past you may have underestimated
how brilliant you are. Well, now you know you are the Supreme
Mind and that you can draw anything you want from that One
Supreme Mind. Any invention, any inspiration, any answer, any-"There is no limit to what this law can do for
you; dare to believe in your own ideal; think of
the ideal as an already accomplished fact." 170 The Secret
thing. You can do anything you want. You are a genius beyond
description, so start telling yourself that and become aware of who
you really are. -MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
Are there any limits to this? Absolutely not. We are unlimited
beings. We have no ceiling. The capabilities and the talents
and the gifts and the power that is within every single
individual that is on the planet, is unlimited. All your power is in your awareness of that power, and through
holding that power in your consciousness. Your mind can be like a runaway steam train if you let it. It can take
you off to thoughts of the past, and then take you off to thoughts
of the future by taking past bad events and projecting those into
your future. Those out-of-control thoughts are creating too. When
you are aware, you are in the present and you know what you are
thinking. You have gained control of your thoughts, and that is
where all your power is. So how do you become more aware? One way is to stop and ask
yourself, "What am I thinking now? What am I feeling now?" The
moment you ask you are aware, because you have brought your
mind back to the present moment. The Secret to You 171
Whenever you think of it, bring yourself back to the awareness of
now. Do it hundreds of times each day, because, remember, all of
your power is in your awareness of your power. Michael Bernard
Beckwith sums up the awareness of this power when he says, "Re-
member to remember


 those families that have grown up in the
mission or government schools were physically not so strong as those families who had never been
in contact with the mission or government schools. These young men were thinking. I was even
asked several times by them whether or not I thought that the native Africans must go the way of
the Red Indians of America. The happiness of the people in their homes and community life is everywhere very striking. A
mining prospector who had spent two decades studying the mineral deposits of Uganda was
quoted to me as stating that if he could have the heaven of his choice in which to spend all eternity
it would be to live in Uganda as the natives of Uganda had lived before modern civilization came to
it. While inter-tribal warfare has largely ceased, a new scourge is upon them, namely the scourge
which comes with modern civilization. As in the primitive racial stocks previously studied and
reported, we found that modernizing forces were often associated with a very marked increase of
the death rate over the birth rate. In some districts in Africa a marked degeneration is taking place. Geoffrey Gorer in his book, "Africa Dances," (1) which was written after making studies in West7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 101/250Africa, discusses this problem at length. He quotes figures given by Marcel Sauvage (2) in his article on French Equatorial Africa: "'In
1911 French Equatorial Africa had twenty million negro inhabitants; in 1921 there were seven and
a half million; in 1931 there were two and a half million.'" He states regarding the quotation: "These figures were given in a responsible French conservative
paper and have not been denied." Major Browne, a high official of the British Government
Administrative Department of Kenya, with long experience, states in the closing paragraph of his
book entitled, "The Vanishing Tribes of Kenya," (3)  the following:
    It must also be remembered that the "blessings of civilization" are not in practice by any
means as obvious as some simple-minded folk would like to believe. It can be said with fair
accuracy that among the tribes with which we have been dealing there is, in their
uncontaminated society, no pauperism, no paid prostitution, very little serious drunkenness,
and on the whole astonishingly little crime; while practically everyone has enough to eat,
sufficient clothing, and an adequate dwelling, according to the primitive native standard. Of
what civilized community can as much be said? Civilizations have been rising and falling not only through all the period of recorded history, but
long before as evidenced by archeological findings.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        The incidence
of dental caries among those individuals living in part on imported foods at the port as compared
with those in remote districts living on native foods was as follows: Those almost exclusively on
native foods had 0. 3 per cent of the teeth attacked by dental caries, and for those on trade foods,
18. 7 per cent. Sea foods used here include many shell fish which are gathered and sold largely by
the young people. The octopus, the sea crab and the beche-de-mere eaten raw were used. 7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

form of the two Samoan primitives above and the two
modernized below. The face bones are underdeveloped
below causing a marked constriction of the arches with
crowding of the teeth. This is a typical expression of
inadequate nutrition of the parents. The Hawaiian Islands lie between 18 and 22 degrees north latitude and between 154 and 160
degrees west longitude. These Islands are quite unlike any of the other Pacific Island groups
previously discussed. Sugar and pineapple plantations cover vast areas and together constitute by
far the most important industries of these Islands. In many districts the population is almost entirely
foreign or of various blends, chiefly of Filipinos and Japanese with Hawaiians. There is a large
American population and a considerable European. These different racial groups have largely
brought their own customs which are rapidly submerging the native customs. Since the native
population is so greatly reduced in comparison with the foreign population, and because
intermarrying has been so general, it was difficult to find large groups of relatively pure-blooded
Hawaiians either living almost entirely on native foods or on modernized foods. Though the number
of the individuals in these groups is accordingly not large, important data were obtained for
comparing the relative incidence of dental caries and other degenerative processes. While the
preparation of foods on the various Pacific Islands has many common factors, all natives using the
underground oven of hot stones for cooking, the Hawaiian Islands present one unique difference in
the method of preparation of their taro. They cook the root as do all the other tribes, but having
done so they dry the taro, powder it and mix it with water and allow it to ferment for several hours,
usually twenty-four or more. This preparation called "poi" becomes slightly tart by the process of
fermentation and has the consistency of heavy strap molasses or a very heavy cream. It is eaten by
rolling it up on one or two fingers and sucking it from them. It accordingly offers no resistance to
the process of mastication. In the districts where the natives are living on native foods the incidence
of dental caries was only 2 per cent of the teeth, whereas among those natives who are living in
large part on the imported foods, chiefly white flour and sweetened goods, 37. 3 per cent of the
teeth had been attacked by tooth decay. Typical Hawaiian faces are seen in Fig. 37. Typical
modern tooth decay is shown in Fig. 38. This girl has tuberculosis also.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

A: The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between diet and the development of dental caries, as well as to understand the physical and mental health of the African tribes.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>If we think of Nature's calendar as one in
which centuries are days and civilizations are years, the part current events are playing in the
history of a great continent like Africa may be mere incidents. This much we do know that throughout the world some remnants of several primitive racial
stocks have persisted to this day even in very exacting environments and only by such could they
have been protected. In my studies of these several racial stocks I find that it is not accident but accumulated wisdom
regarding foods that lies behind their physical excellence and freedom from our modern
degenerative processes, and, further, that on various sides of our world the primitive people know
many of the things that are essential for life-things that our modern civilizations apparently do not
know. These are the fundamental truths of life that have put them in harmony with Nature through
obeying her nutritional laws. Whence this wisdom? Was there in the distant past a world civilization
that was better attuned to Nature's laws and have these remnants retained that knowledge? If this
is not the explanation, it must be that these various primitive racial stocks have been able through a
superior skill in interpreting cause and effect, to determine for themselves what foods in their
environment are best for producing human bodies with a maximum of physical fitness and
resistance to degeneration. Primitive native races of eastern and central Africa have in their native state a very high immunity
to dental caries, ranging from 0 to less than 1 per cent of the teeth affected for many of the tribes. Where modernized, however, the incidence increased to 12.1 per cent. In the matter of facial deformity thirteen tribes out of twenty-seven studied presented so high a
standard of excellence that not a single individual in the group was found with deformed dental
arches. Their nutrition varied according to their location, but always provided an adequate quantity of
body-building and repairing material, even though much effort was required to obtain some of the
essential food factors. Many tribes practiced feeding girls special foods for an extended period
before marriage. Spacing of children was provided by a system of plural wives. REFERENCES

itz-as we noted in the first chapter-has
found that the voltage gradients in the human i-field fluctuate
in rhythmic cycles. Are these phenomena in some way related to external forces
influencing human behaviour through the i-fie ld. Again we do
not know but it would be useful to find out whether or not this
is so. If it is-though we cannot control these external forces-it
would be helpful to be able to predict periods when mankind is
likely to be susceptible to wars or depressions. Dr. Ravitz has shown that a study of voltage-rhythms in the
i-fie1d of the individual makes it possible to predict those times
when his vitality and alertness are at a low point-times when
he should avoid hazardous occupations as far as possible. Surely

it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that mankind-what
ever the cause-is subject to collective 'lows' and 'highs'. If it
could be determined that this is so, leaders would be able to
know in advance those periods when they should exercise
special caution, particularly in international relationships. In these dangerous times, we cannot afford to overlook any
thing that migh t help to reduce risks. For this reason, a further
study of these possibilities would seem to be justified. And with
modern computers and techniques of statistical analysis such
research should not be as expensive or difficult as further ex
ploration of outer space and, quite possibly, might be of greater
benefit to mankind. 5
Though it is important to learn more about the behaviour of
mankind as a whole, it is no less important to study the human
individuaL For, however inconvenient it may be to theorists and
bureaucrats, Nature has arranged that each of us is a unique
individual. This cannot be too strongly emphasized in an age
in which there is an increasing tendency to treat the essential
individual as a mere statistic. To anyone who has studied the human nervous system, how
ever, it is clear that its nature is such that the incredibly-com
plex permutations and combinations of neurones result in many
unique patterns of neural design. These neurones are located in
particular parts of the nervous system and send branches to
other parts of the nervous system. Before the existence of L-fields was established it was hard to
understand why a particular group of neurones should be lodged
in the grey matter of the cortex and not in the spinal cord; and
why the branches of the neurone-the dendrites and axones
apparently move to their ultimate destinations without mistake;
normally, the neurone fibres which run to the ear never end in
the littl� toe. The arrangements, therefore, of the neural parts
is determined by forces which, we now know, are the eJectro
dynamic L-fields. 120 THE CONTINUING ADVE NTURE
If this is accepted, the importance of field factors in the develop
ment and differentiation of the nervous system is evident. And it
is no longer hard to understand how a neuroblast, developing and
differentiating, should be located in a particular place in the
primitive neural tube and why and how its branches should grow
and be directed to an ultimate destination. It is not by accident,
then, that the human nervous system, highly organized and very
complex, should have such precision in its growth and develop
ment and such uniqueness as its final result. All this is of great importance to students of human behaviour
because it shows that it is not a consequence of local phenomena,
nor the result of an endocrine or gastric function, nor of any
other of the physiological properties of the living organism. Chemist ry, whatever its origin, is a consequenc e-and not the
cause-of behaviour. To be sure, defects in behaviour can be recognized; this is well
known. But chemistry can no more change an inferior nervous
system into a better one than high-tes t gasoline can convert a
Ford into a Rolls-Royce. Chemistry supplies the energy but it is
the L-field which gives direction to the energy flow, the result of
which is a pattern of organization. Unfortunately, we know much too little about the conse
quences of the patterned neural mechanism in human beings. We
know a little about the gross anatomy of the nervous system but
we know behaviour only through individual acts. This leads to
confusion in our understanding of the nervous system. We can
only be certain that we are what we are not by accident but by
a patterned organization or design, unique to each of us, which
is regulated by a field. It is true that there are certain patterns of behaviour and auto
matic responses common to all mankind, just as there are parts
of the human nervous system to be found in other highly
organized nervous systems. Apart from these common factors,
however, we are all different and behave differently. Moreover, the mind of man has an unholy capacity to fool
itself. We tend to see what we want to see, to hear what we want
to hear. The raw data of sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell and
so on reach the nervous system and become involved in the in-
121 THE CONTINUING ADV ENTURE
tricate organization of a linking and chaining together of nerve
cells in the nervous system. These, as we know, number at least
ten billion units and therefore provide an astronomical number
of possible permutations and combinations. These permutations, activated by stimuli from the outside
world and also, unfortunately, from the inside world, determine
in the last analysis what you and I do. This means, of course, that
ideas are as powerful stimuli to the nervous system as the physical
events in the immediate enviJOnment. These ideas have to be
integrated with the raw data of sensation and also related to
memory of past events before they result in overt activity. Nearly everyone, when faced with the resulting problems
wants someone to tell them the answers. This is not possible; no
one else can tell you the answers which are right for you, though
he may be able to help you, through ideas, to find the right
answer for yourself. We should not and must not force our solu
tions on others, because each individual is different. We can only
try, with suggestions, to help them to reach conclusions or solu
tions which are appropriate to their uniqueness. Since we know no way to modify the field that determines
the pattern of the human brain and the infinite permutations of
neural response, there are definite limits to what we can hope to
achieve in influencing human behaviour. EnviJOnmen t-a fash
ionable term at the present time-can undoubtedly be an ex
tremely important factor. But it is clear that wha tever we do to
the human nervous system we cannot change its individual and
inherent design deter�ined by the field. Each individual is likely
to react differently, even to the same enviJOnment. Chemistry cannot help us. It is true that we can destroy-or
produce a malfunction of-parts of the nervous system by means
of drugs. They can often modify behaviour to some extent but
this is only because they knock out one component so that an
other component can take over. Similarly, certain operations on the brain can remove or short
circuit abnormal conditions and thus restrict undesirahle be
haviour. But they cannot alter the design. As a matter of fact,
it is difficult for a brain surgeon to tell, merely by looking at the
brain, what kind of person his patient is. There are some racial
122 THE CO NTI NUING ADVENTUR E
and age differences, to be sure, and brains vary in their size and
weight. But no really significant differences have been found in
the finer linking and chaining together of the neuroncs. This is
not because they do not exist but because our present techniques
are not adequate to unravel the complexities. All this shows that-with our present knowledge at least
there are no instant cures for the defects of human behaviour. In other words we cannot hope to change human nature over
night, as wise men have always realized. Though this may seem
to some a depressing conclusion it is better to realize our limita
tions than to entertain false hopes and to waste our energies in
the wrong directions. It is best, too, for educationists to realize that they cannot
make a silk purse out
