 efficiently to help the following ailments, their various
combinations have been listed; the numbers indicated in the case of
each ailment will correspond to the formula number in the list of
juice combinations on pages HO, 81. For adults, at least one pint daily of one or more of the formula
combinations indicated have been taken over a period of several weeks
to obtain perceptible results. The juices for each ailment are given in the order of their greatest
efficacy according to our experience, those which we found essential
being indicated in bold type, the others having also proved effective. When possible, at least one pint of each combination whose formula
number is indicated in bold type was taken daily. For example: In the
case of ARTHRITIS, at least one pint of Formula No. 22 (grapefruit);
also, one pint of No. 61 (carrot and spinach combined); also, at least
one pint of No. 6 (straight celery juice); and at least one pint of No. 37 (carrot and celery combined) was taken. This means a total of four
pints daily, which usually gave perceptible results within a reasonable
time. The addition of one pint of No. 30 (carrot, beet, and cucumber
combined) was also found very beneficial. These juices were taken
throughout the day at intervals of one or two hours between each
combination. We must remember that by combining one or more different kinds
of juices we change the chemical combination of each individual one
so that the effect of the combination as a whole will be entirely different
from that of each juice if taken separately and individually; and it is
by the knowledge of these proper combinations that we have been
able to get results that seem unbelievable to those who lack this
experience. In the selection of the juices and their combinations which have
proved most beneficial for specific ailments or conditions, it is
necessary to study the underlying cause and attack it in order to remove
the manifestation. In the case of arthritis, for example, for which we have given the
various formulas that have proved most beneficial, we find that it is
77 usually due to long retained RESENTMENTS, and to the result of
the accumulation of inorganic calcium deposits in the cartilage of the
joints. Because the afflicted cartilage has a magnetic attraction for
inorganic calcium atoms, the blood deposits them in specific parts
of the anatomy, such as in the case of hemorrhoids. In arthritis they
solidify the cartilage and ligaments, while in hemorrhoids they form
a coagulated blood fibrin. In either case, the eating of foods containing
these inorganic calcium atoms does not create even the slightest
suspicion of what eventually may take place. Once an arthritic deposit has taken root, however, it becomes
progressively menacing until actual bone distortion may take place. The enlargement of the joints is usually the first manifestation after
the occasional shots of sharp pain at shorter or longer intervals make
themselves felt. Once the incrustations of this calcium have established
themselves, their headway becomes a matter of routine and their
deposit becomes cumulative. One of the most effective elements with which to help dissolve
this inorganic, incrustated calcium has been found in grapefruit, in
its organic salicylic acid content. Thus, one pint or more of fresh
grapefruit juice daily helps to dissolve this accumulation of foreign
matter. The canned juice has usually been found useless for this
purpose. Oil of wintergreen has highly penetrating ethers and contains a
high percentage of salicylic acid. It is often used externally to help
ease the pain which usually follows the cleansing and regeneration of
the cartilage and the joints. Dissolving the inorganic calcium however, is only the first step
in the progressive course of this regeneration. It is so difficult to
acknowledge RESENTMENTS and to banish them, but this is the
very first step necessary to help to improve the situation. The calcium
must be removed from the body. To do so, we drink one pint of straight
celery juice a day, which because of it's very high sodium content,
helps maintain the calcium, more or less, in solution. The blood and
lymph both carry this waste matter towards the colon, and to facilitate
the functions of that organ we drink one pint of carrot and spinach
juice. This combination serves to nourish the nerves and muscles of
the large and small intestines. One pint of carrot and celery juice daily, helps to rebuild and
regenerate the cartilage and the joints, eventually helping to restore
78 them to their normal state. The process is usually painful — more so at certain times than at
others; but we have seen many sufferers go through it and in time
become more active than ever before. It requires will power and the
cooperation of everybody interested in the victim's welfare, but the
results have proven to be worth it. Vaccines, drugs, heat, electricity, and a variety of secretive and
orthodox cures have proved valueless as remedies. The elimination
of pain does not cure the cause. If the human body is suffering as a result of the transgression of
the fundamental laws governing its nutrition, then cleansing the debris
and waste from the system and nourishing it with the vital organic
atoms of fresh raw vegetables and fruits, cannot help but restore at
least some of the ebbing energy and vitality. When such nourishment has been taken in the form of properly
extracted fresh raw juices, the results have been more quickly
pronounced, once RESENTMENTS have been dissolved from the
consciousness. FORMULAS
The following Formulas are given entirely as a matter of courtesy
by the Norwalk Laboratory of Nutritional Chemistry and Scientific
Research for use with Special Vegetable Juice Equipment. They
represent the result of expensive and laborious research by this
Laboratory in Raw Vegetable Juice Therapy. It is essential to bear in mind that satisfactory results from the
use of these combinations have been obtained with juices made with
the Electric Triturator (Pulverizer) and Hydraulic Press. Such
equipment has been found to extract the Vitamins, Minerals and other
Vital Elements from vegetables and fruits and to retain the Enzymes
more completely than by any other method. When any other type of Juice Extractor was used, it was found
necessary to considerably increase the indicated quantity. Any juice,
so long as it is fresh and raw, is better than no juice at all. We belong to the kingdom next higher than that of animals. We
have a free will and the ability to use it and develop it. If man persists
in the transgression of Nature's laws, Providence steps in to save him
from annihilation, if possible. Our fundamental object and goal in life should be to gain vast
and abundant knowledge, and learn to apply it intelligently. Of what
79 value is life, let alone longevity, unless we live intelligently. We can teach Wisdom, but we cannot make one learn Wisdom. If
it is too much trouble to learn how to attain and maintain health, and
to put such knowledge into practice, then the easier way out is to
follow the line of least resistance and hope fervently that the grave is
not too far away. Whether or not you have studied anatomy and the physiology of
its functions, it is always best to have a doctor who has had personal
experience with Raw Vegetable Juices to check your condition and
consult him in regard to it. If you have studied carefully all the
preceding pages, your own conviction and intelligence should help
you to follow the course of Natural Healing which has been so
consistently helpful to others. FORMULA PROPORTIONS found to be consistently helpful

 nutritional labels misleading. They use three dif ferent units (calories,
grams, and percentages) on their labels, but never tell you exactly what
percentage of the calories in that product come from fat.The only way for you to know the amount of calories from fat per
serving is to divide the listed number of calories from fat by the total
number of calories per serving. Instead, most people look at the percentage
of total fat highlighted in the “Percent of Daily Value” section of the
nutritional label, thinking that this number represents the food’ s total
percent calories from fat content. It doesn’ t.
For example, that Amy’ s Black Bean Chili can mentioned earlier has a
total fat content of 2.0 grams. Sounds almost fat-free, right? But 1 gram of
fat contains a little more than 9 calories, or to make the math easy, we’ll
round that up to 10. Multiply 2.0 grams by 10 calories and you’ll get 20
calories. This result means 20 calories of fat are in each serving. In order to figure out the percentage of fat per serving, take the total
number of calories per serving and divide it by the calories from fat per
serving. Amy’ s chili has 200 calories per serving, divided by 20 calories
from fat—that means the chili gets 10 percent of its calories from fat. Remember, the E2 rule is to keep the total calories from fat in each food
below 25 percent, and to find that, we divide the calories from fat by the
total number of calories per serving. Added No-No’ s: Sodium, Sugar, Fats
Companies list their products’  ingredients in descending order by weight. The first ingredient weighs the most, the last ingredient weighs the least. Our goal is to avoid products that contain too much junk in the first half of
the list. Added Sodium
According to the Institute of Medicine, a division of the National
Academy of Sciences, the recommended sodium intake for adults is
between 1,200 and 1,500 milligrams per day. This may sound like a lot, but the average American actually consumes
4,000 milligrams per day. After all, just a teaspoon of table salt contains
2,200 milligrams. Too much sodium in the diet is associated with hypertension (high blood
pressure), a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Take a look at the amount of sodium in some of the packaged, canned,
and boxed goods in your home and you’ll be blown away. For example, any
can of commercially produced soup will have upwards of 500 to 1,000milligrams—per serving! And most cans contain two to three servings per
can. Here’ s an easy rule of thumb to control sodium: Limit the amount of
sodium per serving to the number of calories per serving—and of course the
fewer, the better. Let’s go back to our can of Amy’ s Black Bean Chili with its 200 calories
per serving. Check the nutritional label for sodium—you’ll see that the can
has 680 milligrams per serving. This figure is more than three times higher
than we want (200 milligrams to match the 200 calories). And if you were
to consume the whole can, which has two servings, you would be taking in
1,360 milligrams of sodium. Added Sugars
Americans are overconsuming refined and simple sugars at an
astonishing rate. This trend only contributes to the obesity epidemic and all
the other diseases associated with it. Sugars occur naturally in many foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains,
and legumes. There’ s nothing wrong with these foods, despite their sugar
content, as they are filled with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. However, when sugars are refined, adulterated, and processed, they
become empty calories: They contain almost no nutritional value, can raise
cholesterol levels, and make a beeline for your waistline. These simple sugars can appear on a label as evaporated cane juice,
evaporated cane juice syrup, sugar, brown sugar, fructose, high fructose
corn syrup, corn syrup, molasses, honey, barley malt, and beet sugar. Four
grams of any of these devils is the equivalent of 1 teaspoon, which equals
16 calories. Many people, especially kids, drink three to five sodas a day. Each soda
has the equivalent of 10 teaspoons of sugar in it, meaning you’re consuming
30 teaspoons of sugar (or 510 to 850 empty calories) if you drink three
sodas a day. Excessive sugar is found not just in snack foods, but in foods we rely on
for meals. For example, it’ s difficult to find a boxed cereal that doesn’ t have
four to six dif ferent types of sweeteners in the first half of the ingredient
list. Kellogg’ s Low Fat Granola with Raisins lists five dif ferent types of
sugar in the first half of its ingredient list: sugar, corn syrup, molasses, high
fructose corn syrup, and malt flavoring. Cheerios, on the other hand, is awhole grain product and has just one sweetener: sugar. This is a better
choice. Still, my preference is that you eat a cereal containing no added sugars,
such as Grape-Nuts or Bob’ s Red Mill Thick Whole Rolled Oats, and add a
natural sweetener such as sliced fruit. Now that’ s a winner! Besides the number of dif ferent sugars found in food products, also bear
in mind the quantity of sugars. As mentioned, 4 grams of sugar equals 1
teaspoon. Knowing this fact gives you a way to measure the number of
teaspoons per serving. So when you look at the label of our Kellogg’ s Low
Fat Granola with Raisins and see 18 grams of sugar per serving, just
perform a simple calculation: 18 grams divided by 4, or 4.5 teaspoons of
sugar per serving. Would you really sprinkle that much sugar on a bowl of
plain flakes? I doubt it. Added Fats
The first added fats to look for on a label are saturated animal fats. Saturated fats may include butter, eggs, lard, cheese, chicken fat, and/or
beef fat. All are dangerous because they’re major players in raising blood
cholesterol levels and laying down plaque deposits. Next, pay attention to added trans fats (trans fats are formed as a by-
product of the hydrogenation process). You won’ t find the term “trans fats”
listed on the ingredient list but they are produced in the manufacture of
hydrogenated oils, so look for and avoid “hydrogenated” and “partially
hydrogenated” vegetable oils in the ingredient list. Trans fats are man-made gunk. Food companies take real vegetable oils,
which are liquid at room temperature, and saturate them with hydrogen
molecules to make them solid at room temperature—thus the term
“hydrogenated.”
The companies add these hydrogenated, and resulting trans fats to bread,
crackers, cookies, and other packaged goods to increase the product’ s shelf
life (and decrease yours). Trans fats, which should be avoided like the plague, have been
implicated in raising LDL  cholesterol, lowering HDL  cholesterol, are a
major contributor to plaque formations and heart disease, and promote
cancers and tumors. Last, snif f out hidden added fats such as monoglycerides and
diglycerides. These substances go by fancy scientific terms, but they’re fatsand contain 9 calories per gram. Food companies slide these into the ingredient list hoping you’ll have no
idea what they are. Steer clear. Because fats are so prevalent, I’ll give you some wiggle room by
allowing you to eat products containing some fats, especially if they’re
minimal (appearing near the end of the ingredient list). But I still draw the line that the total calories from fat in the product
must represent no more than 25 percent of a food’ s total calories. Also make
sure that any fats present are the healthier unsaturated ones rather than
saturated or trans fats. Back to our can of Amy’ s Black Bean Chili: The second-to-last
ingredient is or ganic high oleic saf flower and/or sunflower oil. I’m not a big
fan of added oils. However, because this ingredient comes second to last in
the ingredient list, and the total fat per serving of the soup is 10 percent,
we’ll approve this product, fat-wise. When shopping, remember: The best sources of fat are whole foods,
such as nuts, seeds, greens, grains, and vegetables, rather than added oils,
meat, dairy, or man-made trans fats. Fiber
Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that your body can’ t digest, and therefore
must expel. But that’ s good news!Fiber rocks! It helps fill us up so we eat less. It keeps our gastrointestinal
tract regular and our stools airy and light. It helps us to stabilize our blood
sugar, maintain constant ener gy levels, and prevent disease. Fiber acts like a little internal janitor, wielding scrub brushes that clean
and then carry of f disease-promoting substances such as cholesterol,
throwing the nasty stuf f in its garbage bag and hauling it to the dump. Fiber is found exclusively in plant-based foods. One reason why the
Engine 2 Diet recommends that you eat whole fruits and vegetables instead
of drinking fruit and vegetable juices is because they contain fiber. An eight-ounce glass of orange juice, for example,

By Lisa Anne Leslie CCN

There are a lot of misconceptions about cholesterol and its role in health and disease. Below
is some information about cholesterol that ma y dispel any misinformation you may have. Important Terms

Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)
LDL carries cholesterol from your tissues into your blood stream. High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
HDL picks up and transports cholesterol in the blood back to the liver wher e it is eliminated
from your body. HDL can help keep LDL cholesterol from building up in the walls of your
arteries. Triglycerides
Triglycerides are a form of fat carried through your  bloodstream. Most of your body's fat is in
the form of triglycerides, stored in  fat tissue. Lipoproteins that are rich in triglycerides also
contain cholesterol. How much and what kind of cholesterol do you need for good health? Cholesterol is a fat that is absolutely essential to life. It is part of ev ery cell and many of the
hormones in your body. You need cholesterol to  survive. However, too much and oxidized
LDL cholesterol and too little HDL cholestero l are associated with in creased risk of heart
disease. Is cholesterol the best indicator of heart disease? Reducing LDL cholesterol is important BUT choles terol levels are not t he gold standard of for
predicting heart attacks. Why? Reducing choles terol ALONE does not necessarily decrease
risk of heart disease. ( Studies show there is NO association between high cholesterol and
death from heart disease in people over 70 and nearly 50% of patient s with heart disease
have normal cholesterol levels.) Studies show your fasting insulin levels are MO RE THAN TWICE as predictive of


 of minerals, metals, flora
and fauna. Our physical body is the microcosm, representing the balance of
minerals, metals, flora and fauna. Any imbalance of these may lead to health
problems; for example, a deficiency of calcium can cause bone problems and
arthritis, an iron deficiency can lead to immune system problems and
magnesium, potassium, zinc and selenium all affect our muscles and physical
body. The source of nourishment of the physical body is the food we eat;
whether the food is vegetarian or non-vegetarian, it all comes from the
Earth. Earth is an important element for the grounding of trees and for human
beings to stay healthy and grounded in life. Grounding actually means to be
focused in whatever activity we are engaged in. When our mind is
preoccupied or drifts to something else and away from the task in hand, we
are prone to making mistakes and will face obstacles in life. Those who are
unstable in life and not able to hold on to jobs and relationships and who
change residences often need grounding. They need to work to strengthen
their muladhara c hakra.Ancient Indian sages were able to visualise chakras and chakra
imbalances, and they suggested simple remedies to correct the imbalances. To strengthen the muladhara chakra they would prescribe a daily bare foot
visit to a pipal or banyan tree (both are renowned for their strong and
healthy roots). They also suggested offering water and walking seven times
around the tree. Some people considered this all to be superstition, but
walking bar e footed on the g round around plants with str ong roots helps with
grounding and str engthening of the r oot chakra. The muladhara c hakra is also associa ted with our sense of smell, the most
primordial and basic of the senses. This chakra is the highest chakra in
animals, which have a very well-developed sense of smell. The vayu or energy associated with this chakra is apana vayu, the energy
of elimination. Physiologically, this chakra is related to elimination processes,
controls the urinary, sexual and reproductive organs, influences large
intestine functions and bowel movement and regulates the adrenals and
gonads. Apana vayu works as a flush valve so that we can control elimination
at will; when we can’t control elimination there is a leakage of this energy
that leads to incontinence or chronic or adrenal fatigue, making us feel weak
and drained. Imbalances and the tools to heal them
Since this chakra governs our physical body it is responsible for everything
about our physical body: skin, hair, the immune and skeletal systems and
accompan ying physical complaints or disease. It is responsible for skin
problems such as allergies, eczema and psoriasis, regenerative powers,
irregular bowel movement and renal system problems, resulting in things
such as brittle bones, frequent illness, delayed recovery from common
ailments, accident proneness, arthritis, constipation, fistula, fissures andhaemorrhoids. Some other related diseases are cancer, leukaemia, sexual
ailments, retarded physical growth and psy chological pr oblems. According to Patanjali, yoga is a system that aligns mind, body and spirit. Hatha yoga exercises are designed to help our physical bodies to stay healthy
and flexible and strengthen our chakras. All light physical exercises have a
soma-psychic effect as they improve breathing and provide us with the ability
to manage mental and emotional stress. Kriya yoga recommends mula
bandha, a pelvic floor exercise similar to Kegel that specifically strengthens
this chakra and helps to contr ol incontinence. The recommended crystals are any that are coloured red, such as red
jasper and red garnet, along with haematite and all black-colour ed stones
such as black tourmaline, black obsidian and black onyx. These all help to
strengthen this c hakra and pr ovide grounding. Aromatherapy essential oils are effective for chakra healing and
activation. To pick the right essential oils for the muladhara chakra, look for
oils that represent earth energy. Since the oils from the roots of the plant
resonate with earth vibrations, they are best suited for this chakra’s healing
and balancing. Jatamansi, or Indian spikenard, was used by Mary
Magdalene to massage Jesus Christ’s feet before the last supper. Other useful
oils to strengthen this c hakra are patchouli, vetiver, valerian toot and angelica
root.Swadhisthana (sacral)

The swadhisthana (sacral) chakra is dominant between the ages of seven to
14, the phase of life associated with puberty and preparation of the body,
physically and physiologically, for procreation. This is the period that
sensuality enters in a child’s relationships, allowing them to reach out to
family and friends as a new awareness of the physical body evolves. During
this phase a child also undergoes emotional development, hence it isassociated with our emotional body. This chakra denotes the desire centre of
a being. The Sanskrit word ‘swadhisthan a’ comprises swa, meaning ‘one’s own’,
and adhisthan, meaning ‘dwelling place’; it represents the true nature of a
person. Also, the term swad means ‘taste’, which is the sense associated with
this chakra.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        Ether is considered to be the most vital of the five elements, as without
space no movement or circulation is possible. Without circulation everythingwill become so gross that life simply cannot exist. This element is associated
with the vishuddhi (thr oat) chakra. The importance of the five elements in our lives can also be recognised
through the fact that our physical bodies can survive without food (which
nourishes the earth element) for about 21 to 30 days and without water for
seven to 10 days. If our body temperature moves beyond or below the
normal range of temperature we can survive for only a few hours. Air
sustains life; without air we can survive only for a few minutes. This body of
ours is a potential space. Our blood, lymph, breath, food and everything in
the body moves because there is space inside; without the space we will just
be dead. When a person dies all the energies leave the physical body along
with the space, which is why bodies turns rigid. Ayurveda insists on the
balance of the fiv e elements as the f oundation of good health. Nadis
Our bodies ha ve four main systems of distrib uting prana:
◼ The circulatory system: comprising arteries, veins and lymphatic
systems. ◼ The nervous system: including the central, sympathetic and
parasympa thetic nerv ous systems. ◼ The endocrine system: comprising various ductless glands that
regulate body physiology and various aspects and functionings of the
physical bod y through the secr etion of hor mones. ◼ The nadis: the conduits of ener gy in the subtle bod y. The subtle body consists of a channel system of energy known as nadis. The word ‘nadi’ originates from the Sanskrit word nad, meaning ‘mo vement’. According to Rig Veda (sacred text) it also means ‘stream’, although the
literal meaning of nadi is ‘flow’. As part of the circulatory system the physical
body has various streams such as arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels; these
are channels for the flow of consciousness. As both negative and positive
energy flow into the body through a complex circuit like meridians, similarly
consciousness flows into the body through nadis. The ego or ahamkara does
not reside in the ph ysical bod y but in the subtle bod y, and moves in the nadis. When awakened the dormant energy of kundalini also works through the
nadis. According to tantric texts, there are 72,000 nadis (channels) in our body
that are the conduits of pranas. Of these numerous nadis, 10 are significant
and three of those 10 are the most significant; they form the basis of
kundalini tantra. T hese three nadis ar e:

 are
surfacing before our very eyes, like ancient sea creatures that were
given up as extinct but were only sleeping in the depths. What we can hope to do is to clarify where these reemerging
experiences actually originate. There is an age-old tendency for
humans to look outside them selves whenever the everyday logic of
the world crumbles. One day there is ecstasy where none existed
before. Who could cause such a drastic transformation but a divine
agent located in the realm of heaven? Heaven and earth come closer
together, however, through the physicist’s concept of the quantum
eld. There is no such thing as being outside the eld looking in,
whether it be God looking down on man or man up to God. We are
all part of the eld; the eld is existence itself, owing in, around,
and through everything. It is the arena where all possibilities unfold. The eld is omnipresent and omnipotent. It invisibly unites two
quarks that are light-years apart; it blends individual and cosmic
existence, the natural and the supernatural. When their awareness
was fully expanded, the ancient rishis were able to declare, echoing
Lord Krishna, “I am the eld.” They saw that their own individual
consciousness was identical to the consciousness that upholds the
universe. They were conferring the quality of omniscienc e upon the
eld—and that gives pause. In the West, to be all-know ing is an
attribute exclu sive to God, unless you accept that the eld is a
proper home for the divine. But why shouldn’t it be? The idea that the sacred is outside us makes no sense in quantum
terms, because it takes our participation to construct all experience,
from the sacred to the profane. When my father was stationed at the
big army cantonment at Jabalpur in central India, Prime Minister
Nehru came for a one-day visit. It was the early Fifties, and Nehru
was considered the savior of India by us and everyone we knew. The
whole town poured out to greet him. People milled as thick as ants
as far as you could see. Men climbed trees to catch a glimpse of
Nehru’s open jeep trundling through the street, and agile little boys
lled the top branches.I was just seven and had no clear idea why my father and mother
were standing there, mute members of a silence so loud that it was
nearly deafening. But I am quite clear that the crowd was silent, and
as Nehru approached, standing up on the back seat of the jeep with
a rose in his hand, a wave of reverential awe swelled before him. My mother began crying, and as fate would have it, Nehru threw his
rose almost at her feet. No one ran forward. The silence endured,
and my mother slowly walked over and bent to gather her ower. The next day people came to our house to see the rose in its silver
vase, and without fail they could not speak when they laid eyes on
it. What I know now is that their exalted feelings came from an inner
source, not solely from Nehru, perhaps not at all from him. The
crowd participated in a collective reality; they felt an emotion and
let it sprout into independent existence, until it resided  even in a
casually tossed  ower. This does not make their sacred feeling
unreal, far from it. Whenever a ow of consciousness moves up from
the depths of the human spirit, great transformations can occur with
dramatic speed. Tearing down the Berlin wall signaled a new rise of
freedom that was taking place among nations. But what is a nation
except a collection of individuals? Politics is what happens “out
there” in response to shifting mental events “in here.” The Berlin
wall rst had to come down inside people’s awareness before it
could come down physically. We do not think of political change in this way mainly  because
people are not generally united in their inner perspective. Sometimes, however, a surge of consciousness carries everyone
along. Gandhi  inspired millions of Indians to gather silently as a
means of protesting British rule; they did not do anything other than
stand or sit together for a time, yet that in itself created a sort of
witness very like the silent witness I tell my patients about. Just to
look at your enemy in peace creates a huge moral eect, because he
sees himself in your eyes. The silent witness reects the truth that
he must come to terms with in the end. I do not want to equate collective consciousness only with
emotions or morality; rather, it is the mind we all share beneath thesupercial layer of our indiv idual minds. This shared mind creates
our shared world. Therefore, the world is a map of all that people
agree to be real, with the exclusion of all that they agree to be
unreal. The reason that seemingly impossible things are surfacing
again in our culture after their long sleep is that our collective
consciousness has agreed to let them in. A deep censoring
mechanism is losing its powe r over us. When the censor is abolished
altogether, there will be no limit to what can be allowed in, for at
the level of the eld, all possibilities exist in unmanifest form. “You are the sole cause of everything in creation,” a guru assured
his disciples. “All is because you are.” The statement reeks of the
worst arrogance if we claim that the Big Bang needed our blessing
before it could happen. I don’t think that is what the guru was
saying. He meant that human consciousness and cosmic
consciousness are one. The eld dances and waits for us to join it. It
constantly folds and refolds itself, like an innite wool blanket
tumbling in a dryer at innit e speed. Under these conditions, every
point in the universe is everywhere at once, sharing in the
omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience of the whole eld. Everyone has a right, then, to consider himself the center of the
cosmos, holding untold powers in his hands. What the Twins Could Do
Any ability to command nature is called a siddhi  in Sanskrit. The
word means “power,” and it refers to powers that have been
perfected in consciousness. Healing the sick is a siddhi, and like the
supernatural feats that yogis are supposed to be able to perform—
ying through  the air, turning invisible, reading the past and future
—the key to mastery is a shift in awareness. A person  suddenly
knows how to do something  impossible, as simply and easily as I
know how to lift my arm. A shift in awareness does not require force. A person who has
achieved the level of consci ousness where siddhis are natural can
breathe change into things as softly as you or I wish and dream,
using no more energy than it takes to stir a thought. The basicprinciple here is that reality is dierent in dierent states of
consciousness. If I see a tree in my dreams, I can jump over it or
make it turn blue or y over it into the sky. What gives me such
powers is the dream state. If I had no other state of awareness to
compare it to, the dream state would constitute the only reality I
know and accept as valid. On waking up, I nd that I cannot jump over a tree anym ore, but
why not? According to the rishis, what holds me back is not the tree
but the arriva l of waking-state consciousness. It has propelled me
into a world that obeys dierent laws of nature. “You think that a
dream tree is inside your head,” a rishi might argue, “while a real
tree is outside you. But this notion can only occur to you after you
wake up. As long as you are in your dream, the tree seems to be
outside you, just as it is in a waking state. In truth, what you take to
be the only ‘real’ tree should be called a waking-state tree. If you
cannot jump over it, perhaps you need to wake up from waking. Then you would discover that this tree, too, was in your head.”
A siddhi seems particularly  amazing when it crops up among
people whose minds lack ordinary abilities, much less extraordinary
ones. In his much-praised essay “The Twins,” Oliver Sacks describes
two brothers, identical twins, who were able to perform prodigious
feats of mental calculation, despite the fact that they repeatedly
tested with IQs no higher than sixty. When Sacks rst met them in
1966, the twins were in their mid-twenties and already mildly
famous. In appearance they resembled a grotesque Tweedledum and
Tweedle-dee—equally rotun d, with thick glasses, bobbing heads,
rolling eyes, and various uncontrollable tics and twitches. Although the twins lived in a private mental world closed to
outsiders, Sacks found them pathetically eager to launch into one of
their “routines”:
The twins say, “Give us a date—any time in the last or next
forty thousand years.” You give them a date, and, almost
instantly, they


 told them in the first place ; she had wanted to avoid this kind of a scene. Marie did not have enough personal integrity to withstand the domination of her immediate family. They put her in a hospital,
where Marie had a radical mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation. Assured that  they had done everything that should have been
done, the self -righteous parents went back home. Marie never recovered from chemotherapy and radiation. She died in the hospital
surrounded by her lesbian friends who took dedicated, ever -so-sympathetic turns  maintaining an emotional round -the-clock vigil. Marie's death was partly my fault. She was an early case of mine. At the time I did not yet understand the total effect of la ck of
ethics and irresponsibility on illness. Had Marie really wanted to live in the first place, she would have sought treatment three
years earlier. In our counseling sessions she always evaded this question and I had not been wise enough to pin her down with  my
knee on her chest and make her answer up. Marie had too many secrets from everybody and was never fully honest in any of her
relationships, including with me. I think she only came to Great Oaks at her lover's insistence and to the day she died was t rying to
pretend that nothing was wrong. All Marie really wanted from her life was to be loved and have a lot of loving attention. In the end, her dramatic death scene
gave her that, which is probably why she manifested cancer and kept it and eventually, died from it. The name for this game is "secondary gain." A lot of sick people are playing it. Their illness lets them win their deepest desire;
they get love, attention, revenge, sympathy, complete service, pampering, create guilt in others. When sick people receive to o
much secondary gain they never get well. One of  the hardest things about being a healer is that one accumulates an ever -enlarging series of dirty, failed cases like this one. It is depressing and makes a person want to quit doctoring. Whenever I get involved with a case I really want them to get bet ter. My life is put entirely out of joint for several months dealing with a residential faster. My schedule is disrupted; my famil y life
suffers; my personal health suffers. No amount of mere money could pay for this. And then some of these people go and wast e all
my help to accomplish some discreditable secret agenda that they have never really admitted to themselves or others. Constant Complaints
    Alice was a middle -aged woman who couldn't understand why she had always felt tired, even when she was young. Her life had
been this way ever since she could remember. Most puzzling to her was why her life was so Job -like. She did everything the
proper way. Doing things correctly was important to her, and fitted her Puritan background. Alice supported all the ri ght causes,
did good works, was active in a Unitarian church and bought all her food at the healthfood store –and made sure it was organically
grown. But in spite of Alice's righteous living, her existence was a treadmill of constant, minor complaints. She was constantly
exhausted, so much so she had difficulty getting up in the morning and feared she might have chronic fatigue syndrome (whatev er
that is). Alice suffered bouts of depression over thoughts like these, and had many acute illnesses like cold s that hung on
interminably and would not go away. She had a constant post -nasal drip. Though she enjoyed life, her body was a millstone around
her neck. I've had a lot of clients exactly like Alice. Sometimes they complain of headaches; sometimes cons tant yeast or bladder
infections. Whatever the complaints, the symptoms are rarely severe enough to classify themselves as someone who is seriously
ill, but their symptoms rarely go away and they almost never feel good. Medical doctors rarely find anything  wrong with them,
though they will frequently prescribe an antibiotic to treat a somewhat constant infection, or an antihistamine for sinus sym ptoms. Getting a new prescription drug makes the complaint go away for a short time until their resistance is low ered again and the very
same complaint returns. These people frequently depend on over the counter pills and are routinely prescribed sleeping remedi es
and antidepressants. If instead of this route they will but take my medicine they are usually easy to fi x and afterwards are amazed
that it was all that simple and that so much of their life has been less than it could have been. Alice had been through the medical doctor route. She had become quite familiar with antibiotics for her colds and flu, and al so
took synthetic thyroid hormone –the doctor had diagnosed her fatigue as being caused by an underactive thyroid, which was partly
correct –but the thyroid medication didn't give her much more energy. Alice had been supporting this medical doctor in grand st yle
for over thirty years but never obtained the relief she sought. I put Alice through my usual two hour first -time-visit thorough analysis. For two weeks before coming to see me she had saved
tiny samples of everything she ate, wrapped them in plast ic film, carefully labeled, and put them in the freezer. Along with these
food samples and a typed list of all these foods, she brought a big box full of her condiments, herb teas, vitamins, spices,
prescription medications, over the counter drugs, oils, g rains, breads, crackers and small samples of her usual fresh vegetables and
fruits. Even her water. Her entire kitchen! By biokinesiology we proceeded to test all of her foods for allergic reactions. I  also
tested the integrity of her organs and glands and  in the process, got a detailed medical history and list of her complaints. Alice had exhausted adrenals, and they probably had been that way for thirty years. Her pancreas was now too weak to digest
the legumes that made up a large part of her vegetar ian diet. She was allergic to wheat, soy, and dairy products and had especially
been eating dairy in the mistaken notion that it was necessary to keep up her protein intake. Really very typical. So many he alth
food store shoppers these days mistakenly beli eve that, because they are vegetarian and do not eat meat, they especially need to
boost their protein intake with dairy and soy. Unfortunately, so many North Americans are highly allergic to dairy and
unfortunately, soy products are as hard or harder to d igest than cooked meats. Alice was especially shocked to discover that she was allergic to such foods as cabbage family vegetables, alfalfa sprouts an d
citrus. Most people don't think that anyone could be allergic to something as healthy as alfalfa sp routs. The doctor was right about
one thing; her thyroid was underperforming. He had not noticed that her heart was weak. Medical doctors rarely discover an organ weakness until that organ actually begins to catastrophically fail. A busy honest do ctor
will usually tell the complaining patient there is nothing wrong with them: go home, take two aspirin, accept the fact that y our
body is not perfect and don't worry about it. A hungry doctor will be delighted to perform countless lab tests, seeking any p ossible
reason for the complaint. This can go on as long as the patient has money or as long as the insurance company will pay. They
rarely find anything "wrong" and the patient is far better off if the doctor doesn't discover something "serious" to treat be cause
their treatment may carry with it consequences far more severe than the complaint. For example, I have seen dozens of people
whose lives were virtually ruined after surgical treatment for chronic back pain. Biokinesiology is actually a far more s ensitive system of analysis than lab tests. It picks up weaknesses at a very early stage so
total organ failure can be prevented. Rarely will any of the organ weaknesses I discover be confirmed by a medical doctor. Fi rst I
put Alice on a six week cleanse. She did one week on fresh, raw food; one week on dilute carrot juice with some green leafy
vegetables juice too; one week on water fasting; and then she repeated the series. After six weeks of detoxification, I gave Alice a
life extension megavitamin formu la, discovered she could not handle the acid form of vitamin C (that she had already been taking)
and had her start on protomorphogens to rebuild her weakened endocrine system, her exhausted adrenals and weak pancreas. She
also began taking pancreatic enzy mes when she ate vegetable protein. She was put on a maintenance diet that eliminated foods she
was allergic to; the diet primarily consisted of whole grains, nuts, cooked and raw vegetables, and raw fruits. On her mainte nance
diet Alice had a profound res urgence of energy and rediscovered a sense of well -being she had not known for decades. She began
to feel like she had when she was a child. Her constant sinus drip was gone. She was able to stop taking synthetic thyroid
hormones and instead, supported her  endocrine system with protomorphogens. A Rampaging Infection
    At the age of 40, John, an old bohemian client of mine, came into a moderate inheritance and went "native" in the Fiji Island s in
the South Pacific. He spent about four months hanging out w ith the locals. Life there was so much fun that John completely forgot
that his body was actually rather delicate, that many of his organs were weak, and that to feel good, he had to live a fairly  simon -
pure life. But the jovial, accepting, devil -may-care Fijians enjoyed

163About the Author
No one was
ever better qualified to write a book about fasting for health. Having supervised
more fasts than anyone in recent history, Herbert M. Shelton ranks among the foremost authorities
on this subject. For over fifty years, he managed his own institution where people from all parts of
the world, in varying states of health and impairment, came to fast and learn how to preserve
health. Born in 1895, Herbert M. Shelton was a persistent and uncompromising student and teacher of
Natural Hygiene. Early in life, he discovered the errors and inconsistencies of all the various
therapeutic systems and began to explore, on his own, the ramifications of the fact that health is
maintainable only by healthful living. A prolific writer, he authored innumerable articles and more than 40 books. He was both editor
and publisher of the
Hygienic Review
 from 1939–1980. For more than 50 years he was the
director of Dr. Shelton’s Health School. Here he pursued his foremost goal of eliminating peoples’
fear and ignorance of disease and teaching them how they could help themselves to the health
which is their birthright. 164Learn how to live the healthiest, happiest life possible! Join the National Health Association! NHA Member Benefits:

        Ambition, as much as necessity, can drive a man to overwork. The desire to make money, to
have money to spend, is a driving force in the life of many people that causes them to bum the
midnight oil. Overeating, sexual excesses, indulgence in the various poison-vices, emotional
unrest, lack of rest and sleep—these and many other enervating influences in the life of man bring
on a state of nervous fatigue. Manganese poisoning will produce tremors and there is some evidence that spinal irritation, as
seen in spinal curvature, may sometimes enter into these cases causitively. Tremor is said to have
been a common aftermath of
encephalitis lethargica
, a disease that is very rare today, except as an
aftermath of smallpox vaccination. Medical authorities say that there is no remedy for paralysis agitans. In general, I agree with this
verdict. But I have had recoveries apart from medicines, drugs or surgery, and I have seen so many
cases make marked improvement during the course of a few weeks to a few months, that I am
convinced a majority if not all cases could recover if proper care were instituted at the first sign of
symptoms. I have never had an opportunity to care for a case from its beginning, but have received all such
cases after they were considerably advanced and had been drugged for three or more years. The
drugs employed to control the tremors undoubtedly further impair the brain and nerves. Cases following head injuries (traumatic cases) and those following
encephalitis lethargica
 are
less favorable cases, but in non-traumatic cases, excellent results may be obtained in the great
majority of patients in a comparatively short time. But full recovery, where possible, is a matter of
months or even of years. It is not uncommon to see the cessation of all tremor in the first fast, only to have it recur when
eating is resumed. The tremor is less severe when it recurs after the fast. A second fast produces
the same results, with less tremor following this. A third fast is sometimes enough to result in a
lasting clearing up of the tremor. In some cases a fourth and even a fifth fast is required. It is impossible to say what percentage of these cases, especially in younger subjects, could
make a full recovery if they persisted long enough, but we rarely expect more than marked
improvement in men and women nearing or past seventy, who have had the disease for several
years. Eating between the fasts in these cases must be limited. The diet should be composed largely of
fresh fruits and fresh (perferably uncooked) vegetables, with nuts or an unprocessed mild cheese
for protein. Bread, animal foods, rich viands, salt, condiments, coffee, teas, cocoa, and similar
beverages should be avoided completely. All alcohol, smoking and other use of tobacco should be avoided. An abundance of rest and
sleep are specially important. Sun baths are helpful, but should not be indulged to the point of
enervation. I make it a practice of giving these patients light exercises


. PILGRIMAGE TO THE FIFTH KINGDOM
 If there were such a thing as a study club or other group devoted
to research concerning the "Fifth Ki ngdom," the spiritual  side of man's
nature, I would like to belong to that group. The research I have in
mind would inquire into that part of man which contacts, though unawares, the ultimate source of truth. Here I am speaking of the truth
which would make men free, and, as  Jesus of Nazareth also pledged,
become a well spring of the more abundant life. Most study clubs and like societies now-a-days, devote their
thought and effort mainly to what has already happened. This club I
have in mind would concentrate on building future history. The study
of the past is limited to dogma and precedent. Men's minds ought to be
free to pursue their unrealized possibilities. If it be true that man is
made in God's image, then those po ssibilities may be called limitless. To be sure, the old school theologians put man in the fourth kingdom,
above the mineral, vegetable and animal kingdom. But there is a Fifth
Kingdom, concerning which the Hebrew prophets and the Nazarene
have given us intimations but which only the saints and the mystics
have attained to. Suppose that all men could enter into that Kingdom, there to
make their homes and find there a congenial way of life. That
transformation would imply a revolution such as the world has not yet
seen. However, practical minded men have the idea that such a
kingdom would be "out of this world," and therefore impractical. I do
not believe that at all. It is my conviction that once men had entered
the Kingdom and had their eyes opened to its larger truth they would
be at home there. This Fifth Kingdom, as I have sa id, is the realm of the spirit. When a man has entered there, he has become aware of his likeness to,
his oneness with, the Creator. He has gained a new vision of life and acquired some inkling of latent and heretofore unsuspected powers
within himself, powers which he can develop as he will. Having come
into that awareness, the citizen of the Fifth Kingdom can draw upon
the Universal Mind for sustenance a nd light. I realize well enough that
to the man in the street what I am writing does not make sense; but all
who have entered the Fifth Kingdom know that there is indeed such a Higher Source of strength. They have tapped that source to lighten
their burdens and heal their diseases. They have climbed out of life's
dark valleys onto the mountainsi de and into the better sunlight. "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you," saith the Lord,
(as quoted in John XV, 7) "ye shall ask what he will and it shall be done unto you. Thus reciprocity works in the Fifth Kingdom. Would it not be a fine thing we re great numbers of men and
women to resolve to journey together into that Fifth Kingdom. True,
each would have to go by himself, in one sense, this being an inner
pilgrimage. For, as Jesus said, the Kingdom of God is within you. Yet
seeking a common objective, all coul d journey together, in study club
or group, under a common leader. The kingdom must be in me before
I manifest it materially, so must the spirit of a fine garden be in me
before I can create it materially. Let people enough go on that pilgrimage into the Fifth Kingdom,
and our social order and political economy, both would be made over
completely. Thus might be laid the solid foundations on which to
build a just and durable peace among all nations. This peace is not in
us, therefore, war will continue. The reason we have wars is because it
is within us. It was Jesus' mission, as he avowed again and again but most
forcefully in the Sermon on the Mount, to lead men into the Kingdom
of God. That goal was to be attained first in men's thought and feeling. For as Jesus taught, the Kingdom of God is within yet. Let a sufficient
number of people achieve awareness of the Kingdom within
themselves and the new social orde r which it implies will come about
naturally as the day comes with the rising sun. It was that end Jesus
taught men to pray:
"Thy Kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in
heaven." Let that prayer be answered fully and the people will have their
solution to the problems which vex them today. When they have
entered the Fifth Kingdom, men will have found salvation from
ignorance, poverty and misery—and, salvation from war. John says in Revelations XXI:
"Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell
with them and they shall be his people... and God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes..." There again, it seems to me, is described the Fifth Kingdom
which was Jesus' goal for the here and now. We have fallen short of
that goal because our religious teaching has been abstract and
theoretical only. That has got us no where. I would lik e to belong to a
movement which would profess, and teach by practice, not by percept
alone, the tenet, "See ye first the kingdom of God and his
righteousness..." That would be to seek the kingdom in which men dwell with God and He in them. That  is no war, no poverty and no
disease. What this troubled and bewildered world needs, I say, is a
movement which would teach people day by day how to live, how to
be well and happy; teach them the folly and uselessness of sickness;
the folly and uselessness of unemployment and depression in an age
when the maximum productive capacity of every man is needed to
feed the hungry peoples of earth and provide them with creature
comforts. Such a movement should tell the people why during the 150
years they have increased their trav el speed from 4 miles to 400 miles
per hour, they have not progressed at  all in the essential art of living
together in their world. It would be a joy to belong to an order which would teach those
things which the world is hungry for—simply by practicing them. It is
time men learned that their chie f end and aim is not profit or
dividends. They must set a hi gher goal, the spiritual man. If humanity needs anything, if it is not beyond vasing quite, it
needs a movement which will teach all men the way to the Fifth
Kingdom. That will not be easy, seeing that the masses of men are
plagued with lazy minds, content with being entertained merely. The
people want to ride, go to the pictur e show, listen to the radio or read
the comic strip, anything to escape from reality. I say that what men need above all else is contact with reality. It
is our business and our duty to seek the truth, learn that truth and
apply it to solving today's problems, to seek and to open up new and
broader avenues of life which will lead us to the Fifth Kingdom. TRUTH—DECAY OF CIVILIZATION
There are many queer things in this world. In all our great cities
there are many fine churches. Millions of church goers to listen to
discussions of the writings of these scriptures. While at the same time
the statement of well known writers th at scriptures as evidence to
prove any thing have long since been outmoded—was a thunderbolt to me. When I think of the time and money which is spent in the church
world teaching and discussing that which has no value seems
unbelievable to me, yet when I sit in the calmness of the late hours of the night thinking, I am convinced that what this writer told me is
correct. Yet in my own mind I am convinced that no greater truth have
been taught than what I have found in what is known as Bible
Scriptures, but what church goers teaches or says these Bible
teachings have no value, and when church interpretation is used, its
value is destroyed—nothing is proved. Jesus was crucified because he told the truth. Other Bible
teachers were put to death because they told the truth. At no time in
the history of man has anyone taught this truth and escaped unharmed;
that is no one of any note. As I stand on the side line watching the
manipulations of the powers that be will not play hands off when these
Bible teachings are attempted to be placed in operation. These teachings of the scriptures apply to our daily life,
politically, economically, spiritually, physically, mentally and
otherwise. Jesus, Amos and numbers of others who taught the truth of
the Bible teaching were executed. These Scriptures teach that what we
have we must work for it. And that  no one shall plant and another eat. And that no one shall pay rent. People will live on their own vineyards
and eat the fruit thereof. They sha ll not build and another inhabit. The
days of my people shall be as the days of trees. Even at the age of one
hundred they will yet be in their childhood, manhood will last as long
as trees. These teachers, we study in our Bible taught these above
mentioned Scriptures—Not limited to economics, but whatever our
people the race of man, may desire, he shall have. There is no limit to the desires of

 summarized his review:
The data for their conclusions, summarized in Annex 8 of the WHO unofficial
guidelines, are not very convincing from a scientific viewpoint. The volume of
water consumed per day was not indicated and the length of time of the
experiment for the human "volunteers" was not indicated (one year for rats). The
physiological changes reported apparently were based on rat and dog studies. For
dogs, the same physiological changes were observed for water containing 50
mg/L and 1,000 mg/L. 5 The conclusion of a minimum TDS of 100 mg/L is confusing and thus not very
convincing. In the human studies, diuresis was observed particularly on the second day of the
study (the increase in urine output reported to be 18%). The volume of water in
the body from the "distillate" was reported to be 50 to 100% higher than the
"other groups." The Russians also reported increased elimination of sodium,
potassium, chloride, calcium, and magnesium in the urine, and the specific
gravity was reduced. In the blood serum, the sodium was increased and the
potassium decreased. Then it was reported that the "tendency" for similar
changes were observed after consumption of 100 mg/L TDS and 1, 000 mg/L
TDS. The water intake (based on thirst) of various TDS waters was not clearly
reported. In some cases it was difficult to determine if the data were from
animals or humans. In summary, the Russian studies, as reported in Annex 8 of the WHO document
appeared not to be rigorously scientific. Dr. Wathen reviewed it from a medical point of view and wrote the following:
The Annex VIII of the report is an alleged "review" of water and salt balance
under the influence of a variety of water and salt intakes, in a variety of animals,
including humans, exposed to a variety of conditions. The review is long on
deductions, but very short on (re) presentation of solid data. Moreover, probably
only a handful of references cited in this review (assuming they are cited
correctly) may be from creditable scientific journals, that is, journals which
demand proper scientific methodology and peer review of all work, prior to
publication. Many of the cited articles may be from journals of "personal
opinion": being versed only in English, it is impossible for me to establish the
credibility of the cited work. This review cited observations on the organoleptic features of water (i.e.,
consumer appreciation of taste, odor, and color qualities) to underscore precise,
physiologic thirst slaking with specific levels of TDS --containing water in
response to volume depletion. To begin with, the quoted electroencephalographic
studies probably indicate only that a maximum number of receptor sites (taste
buds) have to be recruited through stimulation to provide a maximum brain
(alpha) wave response and that the TDS level in water providing the maximum
response was between 200-600 mg/L of salt. One would expect such a response; one might also imagine that receptor response
(sensitivity) is considerably tempered by prior salt and mineral exposure for the
individual. Organoleptic features are very, very unlikely to define whether a
given water source is healthful on non-healthful or that the amount imbibed is
appropriate to need. Moreover, taste receptor electrical activity, being unlikely
to reveal preference by the consumer, means the consumer must be asked whether
he or she prefers a given type of water. More often than not, preference reflects
prior experience (learned behavior). 6 The review refers to exposure to desert and exercise conditions for humans and
how water lost in sweating should be replaced, not with purified water but with
salt water. Who would disagree with this conclusion? With GatoradeR, for
example, selling to extremely large U.S. and world markets, one hardly needs to
be reminded in this day and age that volume and salt losses encumbered with the
sweating of heavy exercise are best replaced with a fluid whose constituents are
more aligned with extracellular fluid in the human. GatoradeR, though billed a
being "low sodium" on its label, is in fact rather high in salt content (both sodium
and potassium) and it provides a rapid, convenient, and safe way to promptly
reconstitute vascular volume after heavy exercise. Dizziness, even syncope
(passing out), from volume depletion are thereby avoided and strength of the
individual is better sustained, due both to volume replacement and the glucose
contained within Gatorade. GatoradeR is a water source to be taken only to replace severe fluid losses
accompanying sweating; it generally averts the need for supplemental salt tablets. GatoradeR, in an opinion which may not be shared by the Gatorade Company
(Chicago, IL), is not a source which should be used to replace normal fluid and
electrolyte losses any more so than pure water should be used to accommodate
severe volume losses. In the presence of salt accompanying usual dietary food
intake (4-8 gm/day of sodium in U.S.), GatoradeR might conceivably lead to
volume excess. A 64 oz. serving of GatoradeR contains: 880 mg of sodium; 200
mg of potassium; and about 400 calories, as carbohydrate (112 grams). There
is no magical solution; one should drink what's appropriate to the circumstance. Replacement of the large fluid losses accompanying heavy exercise or thermal
exposure, therefore, has nothing to do with using purified water for normal
drinking and cooking purposes, the latter being paired with normal food intake
to meet salt and mineral needs. In normal day-to-day activity not associated with
extremes in sweatloss, the salt and minerals accompanying normal food intake
more than meet daily dietary needs of such elements, whether consuming potable
water (e.g., TDS of up to 500 mg/L) or purified water (e.g., TDS 100 mg/L) or
pure water (e.g., 0.111 mg/L TDS). Salts and minerals are· not "leached" from the human body; they are preferentially
retained or excreted, either of these events occurring relative to whether or not
one is surfeit in water or salt or both. In short, the human body is not a lead or
copper pipe which "leaches" in the presence of purified water. The Annex VIII
review is very misleading in this regard. I also think it is incredible to suggest that, in the absence of abnormal water
loading experiments, consumption of demineralized water will cause distortion of
the mucosal cells lining the GI tract. Besides, in the normal human setting, such
water is often combined with other elements (e.g., coffee, tea, fruit juices, soft
drinks, etc.) which raises its TDS prior to consumption. But, even if the TDS is not raised by some external means, through the additions
of saliva, gastric secretions, and small intestine secretions beyond the stomach,
7 there is an internal elevation in TDS of any dilute fluid one might drink. It
would be my opinion that the adsorptive portion of the GI tract, that is, the small
intestine, in the absence of extreme water loading, never sees a hypotonic solution
sufficient to cause the mucosal cells to swell or to appear damaged. There is a
tendency in this review to draw conclusions from observations in anhidrotic (non
sweating) laboratory animals (dogs, rats, and rabbits) and apply them to the very
hidrotic (sweating) human. That is, the review often draws conclusions from
fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base studies in "non-sweaters" and seems to transfer
these conclusions to the "sweaters." It is imprudent physiologically, if not
scientifically erroneous, to do so. I found the reported physiological data to be
very confusing, often at right-angles to prior knowledge. One wonders if the
responses to various levels of salt in water were confused when citing data from
the actual papers used in the review. I personally have never heard of osmorceptors being present in the gut which
might serve to regulate fluid adsorption. And certainly, I have never heard of the
liver being a repository of salt to be released to reconstitute salt levels in the
vascular compartment. This statement, I think, is borderline preposterous. The
literature cited here has been misconstrued or is comprised of essentially factitious
observations. Salt in all body fluid compartments redistributes bidirectionally in
attempts to off-set excesses or insufficiencies in extracellular fluid constituents,
particularly in the vascular (blood volume) compartment. The following responses have been received from different experts in many different fields:
WHO's Dr. Galal-Gorchev states that WHO has "no information that such (low TDS) water
would have and adverse effect on mineral balance". U.S. EPA's Dr. Edward V. Ohanian, Chief of Human Risk Assessment Branch wrote,
Drinking water supplies a number of minerals that are important to human health. However, drinking water is normally a minor source of these minerals. Typically, the diet is the major source of these beneficial minerals. I am not
aware of any data adequate to support the conclusion that water with low levels
of minerals is unsafe. The U.S. Navy has used distilled water with less than three ppm TDS aboard ship for more than
40 years. Surface

OF A PERSON
CONNECTED
TO THE FIELD
OF INTENTION
“Self-actualizing people must be what they can be.”

— Abraham Maslow
A person who lives in a state of unity with the Source of all life doesn’t
look any different from ordinary folks. These people don’t wear a halo or
dress in special garments that announce their godlike qualities. But when
you notice that they go through life as the lucky ones who seem to get all
the breaks, and when you begin to talk to them, you realize how distinctive
they are compared to people living at ordinary levels of awareness. Spend a
few moments in conversation with these people who are connected to the
power of intention and you see how unique they are. These people, whom I call connectors to signify their harmonious
connection with the field of intention, are individuals who have made
themselves available for success. It’s impossible to get them to bepessimistic about achieving what they desire in their lives. Rather than
using language that indicates that their desires may not materialize, they
speak from an inner conviction that communicates their profound and
simple knowing that the universal Source supplies everything. They don’t say, With my luck things won’t work out. Instead, you’re much
more likely to hear something like, I intend to create this and I know it will
work out. No matter how you might attempt to dissuade them by pointing
out all the reasons why their optimism ought to be curtailed, they seem
blissfully blind to reality-check repercussions. It’s almost as if they’re in a
different world, a world in which they can’t hear the reasons why things
won’t work out. If you engage them in conversation about this idea, they simply say
something like, I refuse to think about what can’t happen, because I’ll
attract exactly what I think about, so I only think about what I know will
happen. It doesn’t matter to them what’s happened before. They don’t relate
to the concepts of failure or it’s impossible. They simply, without fanfare,
are unaffected by reasons for being pessimistic. They’ve made themselves
available for success, and they know and trust in an invisible force that’s
all-providing. They’re so well connected to the all-providing Source that it’s
as if they have a natural aura preventing anything from getting through that
might weaken their connection to the creative energy of the power of
intention. Connectors don’t place their thoughts on what they don’t want, because,
as they’ll tell you: The Source of all can only respond with what it is, and
what it is, is infinite supply. It can’t relate to scarcity, or things not working
out, because it’s none of these things. If I say to the Source of all things, “It
probably won’t work out,” I’ll receive back from it precisely what I sent to
it, so I know better than to think anything other than what my Source is. To the average person who has fears about the future, this all sounds like
mumbo jumbo. They’ll tell their connector friend to do a reality check and
look realistically at the world they live in. But connectors aren’t distracted
from their inner knowing. They’ll tell you, if you choose to listen, that this
is a universe of energy and attraction, and that the reason so many people
live lives of fear and scarcity is because they rely on their ego to fulfill theirdesires. It’s simple, they’ll tell you. Just reconnect to your Source, and be
like your Source, and your intentions will match up perfectly with the all-
providing Source. To connectors, it all seems so simple. Keep your thoughts on what you
intend to create. Stay consistently matched up with the field of intention,
and then watch for the clues that what you’re summoning from the all-
creative Source is arriving in your life. To a connector, there are simply no
accidents. They perceive seemingly insignificant events as being
orchestrated in perfect harmony. They believe in synchronicity and aren’t
surprised when the perfect person for a situation appears, or when someone
they’ve been thinking about calls out of the blue, or when a book arrives
unexpectedly in the mail giving them the information they needed, or when
the money to finance a project they’ve been intending mysteriously shows
up. Connectors won’t attempt to win you over to their point of view with
debates. They know better than to place a lot of energy on arguing or being
frustrated, because that attracts argumentation and frustration into their
lives. They know what they know, and they aren’t seduced into constructing
a counterforce of resistance to people who live otherwise. They accept the
idea that there are no accidents in a universe that has an invisible force of
energy as its Source that continuously creates and provides an infinite
supply to all who wish to partake of it. They’ll tell you plain and simple if
you inquire: All you have to do to tap in to the power of intention is to be in
a perfect match with the Source of everything, and I’m choosing to be as
closely aligned to that Source as I can. To connectors, everything that shows up in their life is there because the
power of intention intended it there. So they’re always in a state of
gratitude. They feel thankful for everything, even things that might seem to
be obstacles. They have the ability and desire to see a temporary illness as a
blessing, and they know in their heart that somewhere an opportunity exists
in the setback, and that is what they look for in everything that shows up in
their life. Through their thanks, they honor all possibilities, rather than
asking their Source for something, because that seems to give power to
what’s missing. They commune with the Source in a state of reverentgratitude for all that’s present in their lives, knowing that this empowers
their intention to manifest precisely what they need. Connectors describe themselves as living in a state of appreciation and
bewilderment. You’re unlikely to hear them complain about anything. They
aren’t fault-finders. If it rains, they enjoy it, knowing that they won’t get
where they want to go if they only travel on sunny days. This is how they
react to all of nature, with appreciative harmony. The snow, the wind, the
sun, and the sounds of nature are all reminders to connectors that they’re a
part of the natural world. The air—regardless of its temperature or wind
velocity—is the revered air that is the breath of life. Connectors appreciate the world and everything in it. The same
connection that they experience with nature they feel toward all beings,
including those who lived before and those who have yet to arrive. They
have a consciousness of the oneness, and therefore they make no
distinctions such as them or those other people.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        I use the word resistance here,
as I have several times in Part II of this book. Thoughts such as the
following are actually a form of resistance to having your intentions
manifest: This stuff isn’t practical. I can’t just materialize my ideal person
by my thoughts. Why should I be treated any better than all of those others
who are still waiting for Mr. Right. I tried this before, and a real idiot came
into my life. These are thoughts of resistance that you’re placing right in the
way of Source sending you someone. Resistance is lowered energy. Source
is high, creative, expansive energy. When your thoughts are low-energy
vibrations, you simply can’t attract the high-energy people you need or
desire. Even if they came rushing up to you announcing: Here I am, how
can I serve you, I’m willing and able, and carrying a sign saying I’M
YOURS, you wouldn’t recognize or believe them while you’re so busy
trying to attract more of what you can’t have and don’t deserve. Step 6: Practice being the kind of person you wish to attract. As I’ve
touched on before, if you want to be loved unconditionally, practice loving
unconditionally. If you want assistance from others, extend assistance
whenever and wherever you have the opportunity. If you’d like to be the
recipient of generosity, then be as generous as you can, as frequently as youcan. This is one of the simplest and most effective ways of attracting the
power of intention. Match up with the forthcomingness of the universal
mind from which everyone and everything originates while extending it
outward, and you’ll attract back to yourself all that you intend to manifest. Step 7: Detach from the outcome, and practice infinite patience. This
is the crucial step of faith. Don’t make the mistake of evaluating
