ations. Due to the bad experience in his
previous life Jesus was very reluctant to incarnate again this time, but realised in the end that it was necessary. When a very10/30/24, 4:58 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Life & the Universe - History & Future

spiritual activities.
There are some conﬂicting views between Jesus and Jehovah. The latter wants Jesus to keep frequently incarnating to learn more
about the human condition while Jesus believes that he already knows everything that he needs to know about humans.
Another difference is how best to lead humanity towards higher levels of intelligence. Jehovah takes an approach like a keen
gardener who wants to create a beautiful garden yielding an abundance of produce. For this He removes weeds and also plants that
do not live up to His expectations. He developed a system of more or less severe judgments after each incarnation as a condition for
continued existence of the soul.
Jesus, on the other hand, believes that a better approach is to treat everyone, saint and sinner, with an abundance of love. As a
gardener he would try to heal a diseased plant rather than pull it out. In essence, Jehovah believes that evil is caused by ignorance
while Jesus believes that it is caused by lack of love. Perhaps both are right.
The soul of Jesus resides on a small planet in our solar system about double the distance away from the sun than Pluto. When Paul
sent the astral body of his medium to Mirrorland Jesus always accompan ied her in a temporarily manifested astral body to guide and
protect her. The soul of God Jehovah, on the other hand, resides much further away on a planet outside the boundaries of our solar
system. His basic form manifested at the mental level is similar to the human body with two arms and two legs. This is the most
suitable form in the Universe for the development of a soul.
Jesus said that he often has great difﬁculties hearing the prayers of humans who do not properly focus their minds on their requests.
This is not because of the distance involved but rather because most individuals presently have not been trained to focus their mind
as with meditation and yoga techniq ues. Perhaps this may be improve d by focusing the mind during prayer on a picture that one
believes is showing the image of Jesus.
The Biblical Jesus
The Aramaic name of the incarnated Jesus soul was Joshua or Jeshu a. Jesus said that he was born at midnight on the third of
February in the year 3 AD. This conﬂicts with the account of the Catholic  Church which claims that he was born two years, two month
and three days earlier on the ﬁrst day of the year 1 CE. It also means that at his cruciﬁxion he was only 31 years old and not 33 as
generally believed.
 In His lonely years before becoming a God, Jehovah developed a strong desire to have a son in whom He could plant all His love.
Therefore He took the opportunity to create a new body for Jesus by projecting the necessary energy structures into Mary at the time
of conception. This was not unusua l. He said that He has genetic and energy-projected children on all of His created planets that
have human populations, and there are also more on Earth itself. For instance the Buddha, Mother Theresa and others were also
made His children. However, Jesus is different from all the others partly because of the advanced state of his soul but mainly by
being the designated heir of God Jehovah.
Jesus was 198 cm or nearly 2 m tall. God Jehovah is always greatly concerned with improving the genetic quality of His human
creations. Therefore He endowed Jesus with strong genes and expected that Jesus would have many children and grandchildren in
this incarnation. God Jehovah intended to establish a gene bank from the descendants of Jesus so that after future catastrophes a
strong and intellectually advanced culture could be rapidly re-established, which is already possible on other advanced planets. It
was not to be, and God Jehovah blames ignorance and power-hungry arrogance of the then Jewish leaders for this. The lifespan
provided for Jesus was 87 years, and only at the end of a long and successful life was a cruciﬁxion envisaged.
However, Jesus also said that in his biblical incarnation he was not interested in procreative sex. This explains various Gnostic
Gospels, especially the Gospel of Philip, revealing that Jesus taught how to convert sexual energy into spiritual energy (www.health-
science-spirit.com/saint.html). The other problem was that during his trial Jesus felt betrayed by the Jewish leaders and the hostility
of their followers which greatly drained his energy. At this stage he was no longer interested in continuing to live; instead he wanted to
end it all as soon as possible.
Afterwards God Jehovah restored his body. Jesus had a choice to get a new body or keep the old one, he chose the old one. That
was probably not a good choice because in the following 44 years that he travelled all over the civilised world in the company of his
Father he had much pain because his knees had been smashed during cruciﬁxion. He also suffered from feeling cold all the time due
to lack of energy, and when levitating over oceans his Father had to carry him. The body of Jesus can still be found in an Indian
monastery.
Muhammad
The establishment of Islam is a somewhat twisted story. Muhammad is an old soul created by the Godhead together with the soul of
Allah. Both had a very close bond. Allah was the asked for companion whom Jehovah received before He became a God. They did
not get on well with each other. They were too alike in their ambitions. Allah challenged Jehovah’ s leadership, so that Jehovah
pleaded with the Godhead to remove Allah again. Eventually Allah was made the leader of a different inhabited planet but his highly
evolved soul still remained mostly in our solar system.
Because of their close relationship, Muhammad received the thought and idea signals emitted by Allah into the All but like Jesus,
Muhammad was also a soul given to God Jehovah as a helper. Muhammad had incarnated with the aim of uniting the Arab culture by
delivering the Koran. To fulﬁl this program God Jehovah dictated the Koran to Muhammad in harmony with the customs of
contemporary Arab culture and the transmissions of Allah.
Other Religious Developments10/30/24, 4:58 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Life & the Universe - History & Future
https://health-science-spirit.com/Science_%26_Spirituality/Life-%26-the-Universe-History-Future-Part2.html 3/5God Jehovah said that in our seventh culture, as in most previous cultures, the masses could not be led by intellectual ideas, but only
through their emotions, and in this regard religious emotions were superior to other mass emotions. It was a great intellectual
advance when ancient religious cults of sun worship, bull cults and other fertility cults were gradually replaced by the abstract idea of
an invisible supreme God.
The many layers of our culture are determined by our widespread religions. Each religion can only give a slice of the whole because
our ability to understand had greatly suffered in the last catastrophe. Presently this is made much worse by the materialism spread by
the mass media through all aspects of our culture. Now the time has come that for those who are ready for it, knowledge of the reality
should become transferable again through the generations.
Before dictating the Koran, God Jehovah had already chosen the ancient Israelites for a revelation because at the time they were
intellectually well advanced and seemed suitable to spread the new know ledge widely. By later dispersing the Jews all over the world
He also hoped that they would upgrade the genetic stock of other societies. This did not happen because the Jews remained a
closely knit race and avoided conta ct with outsiders. With this their genetics deteriorated through continued inbreeding, and their
religious concepts calciﬁed.
In the meantime a more successful  development was the rise of Buddhism. This was the achievement of an advanced soul who
continues to incarnate very frequently with the aim of helping his followers. Even in his present body he incarnated in Tibet. The
Hindu/Indian religious traditions appear to be a restoration of the earlie r knowledge from previous cultures delivered by advanced
yogi. The Greek, Roman and other pantheons are just legends and not based on reality. God Jehovah said for an important religious
or intellectual concept to take root and survive it needs to be manifested for some time in our matter-based four-dimensional reality
as is the case with Buddhism.
Besides the Jews there was a related ancient race, the Magyars. They had many tribes widely spread out from Africa to Finland and,
of course, occupy the present Hungary. They freely spread their genetic stock and so do not have a problem with inbreeding. They
also have high intellectual achievements as demonstrated by an extraordinary number of important inventors as well as leading
nuclear and theoretical physicists and Nobel laureates.
This makes the Hungarians highly suitable to deliver the new message of God Jehovah to the world as this is not about believing and
worshipping, but about acquiring and applying the knowledge of how the Universe works, and also what we need to do to help our
soul on its long journey. Therefore it is not surprising that God Jehovah released His new revelations through a Hungarian source,
and


ed by the bus conductors tended to present later in life and was less
likely to be fatal.
The same study was replicated using over 100,000 postal workers, and
once again it was found that those who spent their day on foot or cycling
while delivering  the mail had fewer incidences of heart disease compared to
workers in sedentary occupations such as telephonists, civil service
executives, and clerks. Dr. Mor ris’ s findings are just as relevant today as
sixty years ago, and since more and more of us spend our working day
behind a desk, there is an increased need to perform regu lar physical
exercise. Even more important is that we perform this exercise within our
own personal limits.
The bes t way to ensure that w e exercise within our capabilities is by
nasal breathing,  and an importa nt consideration is the length of time youcan com fortably hold your breath, or your BOL T measurement. When your
BOL T s core is less than 20 seco nds, your breathing volume will be greater
than what your body requires, resulting in a risk of overbreat hing during
physical exerci se. All breathing should be through the nose when
performing phys ical exercise so as not to increase breathing v olume even
further.
When your BOL T score is grea ter than 20 seconds, it’ s fine for you to
breathe through  the mouth during exercise for brief periods of time.
However, it is o nly when your BOL T score is greater than 30 seconds that
intense physical exercise can be performed without undue risk of
overbreathing. T he goal for seri ous athletes, of course, is to attain a BOL T
score of 40 seconds.
Only with a high BOL T score of 40 seconds is breathing volu me at a
normal level. Anything less indicates habitual overbreathing. And while it
would b e a normal expectation f or athletes to possess a high BOL T score, in
reality this is s eldom the case. I have measured the BOL T scores of
hundreds of athletes, ranging fro m weekend warriors to elite Ol ympic-level
athletes, and guess what? The v ast majority of BOL T measurements were
less than 20 seco nds. Some, in f act, have been less than 10 seconds, as low
as any person with severe asthm a. It is shocking to think of th e stress that
such overbreathing is placing on the body during intense physical exercise,
so a nyone serious about exercis e should aim to reduce their breathing and
increase their BOL T score.
Like any  change  to your routine, the best way to determine the benefits
of reduc ed breat hing, nasal breathing, and a higher BOL T score is to put the
Oxygen Advant age program into practice for 2 to 3 weeks. Y ou will find a
program specific  to your BOL T score, exercise history, and state of health
in P art I V of this book. T wo or  three weeks is a relatively short period of
time in the grand scheme of th ings, and most individuals will experience
positive benefits  within a few short days. As you experience the positive
benefits, I am i n no doubt tha t you will be happy to incorporate these
principles into your life, for the rest of your life.
For exam ple, wh en I first learne d to unblock my nose and switch from
mouth to nasal breathing, I imm ediately felt tension lifting from my head,
and desp ite havi ng wheezed my way through the previous twenty years, mysymptoms reduced by as much as 50 percent within the first day, simply by
breathing calmly through the nose.
Even if you are unwilling to make a 100 percent change to nasal
breathing during  your peak seas on training, bear in mind that whatever you
do t o incorporate the Oxygen Advantage program into your routine will
provide a return. Ultimately, your success depends on your ability to
improve your BOL T score—each 5-second improvement will cause the
benefits to accumulate.
In Part IV I have outlined a series of dif ferent programs to suit
individuals according to their current training, BOL T score, age, and overall
health. Choose the one that best matches your fitness level and abilities and
move on  when you feel you ha ve accomplished as much as po ssible from
each program.
W ould Y ou Do Me a Favor?
I am  ver y optimistic that if you follow the principles outlined in this book
and work toward increasing y our BOL T score, your health and sports
performance will improve in many ways.
Since 2002, I ha ve observed tremendous improvements in the sporting
ability of both amateur and p rofessional athletes who have applied the
concepts of the Oxygen Adva ntage program. I have also wi tnessed the
negative ef fects on respiratory, mental, and cardiovascular health from
chronic overbre athing. It is my  aim to spread the word of t hese simple
techniques to provide an easy and ef fective way of improving the health and
well-being of readers.
And you can help me to generate awareness!
I w ould  appreci ate it greatly if  you would try out these practices and
then spr ead the word to your frie nds and family who are interested in health
and sports, or who suf fer from any of the problems described i n this book.
Y ou could also help by writing a review of The Oxygen Advantage  on
Amazon.com.
Also, please share the book with anyone you think may benefit from the
techniques within the Oxygen Advantage program.Finally, if you have any question s, or would simply like to tell me about
your personal experience with the Oxygen Advantage program, please drop

E ach time I work with a client, I design a program of breathing exercises
and lifestyle guidelines to help him or her reach goals safely and in the
shortest time possible. When de ciding on a program, it is necessary to take
into considerati on each individual’ s health and BOL T score. Having an
insight into a pe rson’ s lifestyle is also useful, as exercises can be tailored to
cause minimal disruption to work schedules and current training routines. I
fully understand the challenge of making time in a busy life to exercise,
which i s why the Oxygen Ad vantage program of fers quick, easy, and
achievable techn iques that can f it around any existing routine. There is no
doubt th at a low BOL T score can result in fatigue, reduced co ncentration,
and poor productivity, so by allocating just a half hour to one hour each day
to practice these exercises, your  BOL T score will increase alon g with your
ener gy levels, well-being, and  performance. I have seen th e proof in
thousands of clients that spendin g a little time to improve body oxygenation
is a hugely beneficial investment.
The best  way to approach the O xygen Advantage program is to view it
as a lifes tyle cha nge and something to be incorporated into your way of life
as o pposed to a set of exercises practiced formally throughout the day. This
way it will become part of your daily routine rather than a regular chore or

Revici made his finding regarding the effect of surgery on the spread of cancer 65 years ago and
discussed it in his book in 1961. Despite Revici‘s early warning that coincided with the height of
Mantle‘s playing days with the New York Yankees, the widespr ead practice of surgery continues
unabated even today. The reappearance of cancer, either in the same place as the previous surgery
or elsewhere is often responded to with shrugs, as if it were just bad luck rather than as a direct result
of the surgically  induced alkaline imbalance. As of this writing, the medical profession still hasn‘t
accepted the possible role of surgery in promoting the growth of cancerous conditions.
Also unrecognized is the possibility that any major surgery can lay the groundwork for future
cancer by aggravating an alkaline -pain pattern in a  57
 patient who might already be tending towards that pattern of imbalance. This is not to say that every
surgery produces cancer, but bas ed on Revici‘s findings, it might be a good idea to evaluate a
patient‘s acid/alkaline pattern for a few days before subjecting them to the knife.
Revici‘s observation regarding the impact of surgery on the acid/alkaline balance of the patient helps
to explain why surgery is a risky treatment for many cancer patients, especially when the physician is
unaware of the patient‘s pH pattern. Surgery isn‘t necessarily a good idea for acid pattern patients
either in that it‘s difficult to predict the extent of t he alkaline reaction that the surgery will cause.
There are limited circumstances where Revici believes surgery might be indicated, such as localized,
easily accessible tumors with no metastases, for a patient with an acid pattern. In the vast majority of
cases, however, surgery is a higher risk option than previously understood, particularly in the hands of
physicians unaware of the alkaline effects of the surgery they perform.
Radiation is another alkaline -pain-producing procedure. Typically, patients who undergo radiation and
have an acid pain pattern will show short -term progress followed by a reversal and the downward spiral
of the patient‘s condition. In contrast, the condition of patients with alkaline pain patterns will worsen
immediately after a radiation session. Because radiation is often directed to the site of the tumor which
might already be alkaline, the radiation can very well aggravate the response in surrounding tissue.
This could result in a rapid spread of the malignancy or an activatio n of undiscovered metastases.
Since pH levels are not generally considered by radiologists, the patient can suffer in either case.
Revici‘s finding of dualism in cancer and other pathologies was just the beginning of his many important
medical discoverie s. The next step was to find a way to move cancer patients out of the pattern in
which they appeared to be stuck. If acid pattern patients reacted positively to alkaline compounds, then
the solution might have appeared to be to give those patients some of those alkaline substances until
they recovered. Alkaline pattern patients could likewise be given some acid substance to affect a cure.
Of course almost nothing is that simple when it comes to the workings of the human body and of
cancer in particular. S ubstances given either orally or by injection often go through a series of
chemical changes in the body. This can result in little of the original substance reaching the site where
it is needed, while increasing the potential for the medication or its bypr oducts to cause new problems.
A way had to be found to effectively deliver medications that could change the acid/alkaline patterns of
patients without harming them. In the next chapter we‘ll see how a class of substances called lipids
came into play.

 4. More Than Just Blowing Bubbles
“I am pleased to learn that his [Revici‟s] concept of surface tension in biology bore fruit …”
Gustave Freeman, M.D.
Like many of Revici‘ s discoveries, his ability to develop a method for effectively delivering medications
in cancer cases resulted from converting a simple observation into a series of important scientific
advances. Revici noticed, like a lot of people had noticed, that tumor s were rather impervious to the
effects of their environment. The relative stability of tumors is in marked contrast to the multitude of fast
reactions taking place thousands of times a second in the human body.
Many different chemical reactions are occur ring in the human body all the time. Different body salts
combine with various compounds constantly. Proteins and amino acids also regroup constantly, and
carbohydrates quickly break down into simple sugars. With each of those changes the characteristics
of the new products can be quite different from the previous ones. One common characteristic for
most of those reactions is their water solubility.
Revici theorized that rapid, water -soluble reactions played a much lesser role in cancer metabolism
because tumors don‘t change much in character from one moment to the next. He theorized that there
must be a substance that would provide the stability tumors manifest. That idea of a stable, non -water
soluble substance led him to look at lipids as a likely place to find some answers. He wrote, ―They
form a group ‗apart‘ from all the water -soluble constituents, a fact which permits them to function
without continuous interference from the other constituents.‖
In his early research he found placentas to be extreme ly rich in certain kinds of lipids. Yet, as we
already know, the placental lipids had a wide -ranging, unpredictable effect on tumors. Sometimes they
helped, and sometimes they made the cancer worse. When they did help, oftentimes the benefit was
short -lived, only to be followed by a reversal and deterioration of the patient‘s condition.
In his 1961 book, Revici reports that in over one hundred cases of terminal cancer treated with
placental extracts at various hospitals in Paris between 1935 and 1938, obje ctive improvement was
seen in only 20% of the cases. By objective improvement he meant that the tumors of the patient had
measurably shrunk or disappeared. The percentage, although low, was not so bad considering that
other doctors sometimes sought him out  to treat their most seriously ill cancer patients. In addition, the
dramatic, short -term  59
 positive results led him to believe he had found a part of the answer. However, a 20% objective
response ra te still meant there was much room for improvement.
By 1938 Revici noted that the placental treatments often produced a permanent shift into alkaline pain
patterns among patients who previously had suffered from acid pain patterns. In addition, patients w ho
had already been diagnosed with alkaline pain patterns experienced a marked increase in pain when
treated with placental medications.
As he continued his search, Revici combed the scientific literature on lipids only to find them to be a
largely ignor ed topic to the point that even the definition of what comprised a lipid was inadequate.
Striking out largely into unexplored territory, he learned through his own research that some lipids
would promote an acid reaction in the urinary pH while others prom oted an alkaline reaction. That
finding would become one of the most important discoveries he would make in the treatment of cancer
and other dualistic diseases. With that finding Revici had found a way to attack cancer, whether it
exhibited an acid imbala nce or an alkaline imbalance.
With this new information, Revici decided to drop placental lipids as a treatment due to their overly
alkaline properties that were often difficult to reverse, and replaced them with two categories of lipids
with antagonisti c properties: fatty acids and sterols. Revici found acid pain patterns could be
controlled with the highly unsaturated fatty acid lipids almost immediately, while the sterol lipids did
the same for alkaline pain patterns. ―In both cases, the effect occurre d in a few minutes.‖ Tumor
shrinkage would often follow within a matter of days or weeks.
At first the choice of medication was determined solely by the patient‘s pain pattern. By 1938 Revici
was monitoring the patient‘s urinary pH as well. He also began  to monitor the specific gravity of the
urine, urinary calcium and the total blood potassium. Revici found that sterols and fatty acids had many
different properties including opposite effects on urinary specific gravity, urinary calcium and blood
potassiu m.
For example, he found that he could use the results from tests on urinary calcium and total blood
potassium to isolate imbalances at the cytoplasmic level. (Cytoplasm is the material that surrounds the
nucleus of each cell.) For conditions affecting th e extracellular compartment, blood serum and lymph,
he found that he could isolate imbalances by applying a dualistic interpretation on urinary pH, urinary
surface tension, pain patterns and blood eosinophiles (a type of white blood cell.) To detect
imbala nces occurring at the organ level, application of the dualistic principles in interpreting urinary
specific gravity and body temperature proved effective.
Some critics have faulted Revici‘s use of specific gravity by pointing out that the specific gravit y of
urine is greatly affected by the amount of water in the urine. What those critics have failed to note is
that Revici devised a way to take the water concentration into account by using a mathematical index
which eliminates the effect of the fluctuatio n caused by the


in virology, studies Borna virus. Despite being leery of a rash of inconsistent studies associatingBorna virus with schizophrenia, Waltrip believes that "there is something there, though I don't knowif it's a perinatal infection or an adult infection or what." When he started looking for antibodies toBorna in mental patients, he found that 14 percent of the schizophrenic patients had antibodies totwo or three Borna proteins, whereas none of the healthy controls did. Waltrip speculates that Bornavirus is not thecause of schizophrenia. "I think that schizophrenia is an etiologically heterogeneous
disease," he said. "I think there are a finite number of ways the brain can respond to injury. Thereare probably different routes to schizophrenia, and there is probably more than one infectiouspathway." One route, he hypothesizes, is Borna virus.
Ewald and Cochran do not doubt that multiple pathogens or multiple factors may be implicated in
some broad disease syndromes, among them schizophrenia. But they worry, in general, that the"multifactorial"argument has become too facile a response. "That's what they always say when they
don't know the cause of a disease," Cochran said on the phone. "They say it's multifactorial. Ulcers
and heart disease were supposed to be multifactorial. But they're infections! Tuberculosis wassupposed to be multifactorial. It's an infection!"
I happened to be visiting Ewald in his office when Cochran called, so we were having a three-way
conversation, with Cochran's voice echoing over the static on a speaker phone. Outside the window
the scene was shifting subtly into mid-autumn. Patches of orange and rust speckled the blue-green
flanks of the Holyoke hills, and the students on the playing fields were wearing sweatpants.
But what about random accidents in utero as a cause of schizophrenia? I asked. Some kind of
damage to the wiring?
"You'd have to say what caused the damage," Ewald responded, pointing out that the word
"random" is often used to refer to something we haven't been able to understand. He noted onceagain how widespread schizophrenia is. "At this frequency -- one percent of the population -- we'dexpect that natural selection would have led to protective mechanisms."
The same holds true for severe depression, Ewald believes. A tendency toward suicide doesn't make
evolutionary sense in a world of organisms driven by the twin urgencies of survival andreproduction. The relentless engine of natural selection should have eliminated any genes thatinfringed on them. So why are these fitness-antagonistic traits still around?
This leads to a subject that Ewald is not shy about bringing up in discussions with colleagues and
in professional lectures: homosexuality. Various pieces of evidence have been adduced in recentyears, by prominent researchers, for some sort of genetic component to homosexuality. The questionarises as to whether natural selection would sustain a homosexual trait in the gene pool for anylength of time. The best estimates of the fitness cost of homosexuality hover around 80 percent: inother words, gay men (in modern times, at least) have only 20 percent as many offspring asheterosexuals have. Simple math shows how quickly an evolutionarily disadvantageous trait likethis should dwindle, if it is a simple genetic phenomenon. The researchers Richard Pillard, at theBoston University School of Medicine, and Dean Hamer, at the National Cancer Institute, are notpersuaded that natural selection would necessarily have eliminated a homosexual trait, and offeringenious counterarguments. (And they note that historically the fitness cost may not have beenvery high, when gay men stayed in the closet, married, and had children.)
No one, of course, has ever isolated a bacterium or a virus responsible for sexual orientation, and
speculations about the manner in which such an agent would be transmitted can be nothing morethan that. But Ewald and Cochran contend that the severe "fitness hit" of homosexuality is a red flagthat should not be ignored, and that an infectious process should at least be explored. "It's a verysensitive subject,"Ewald admits, "and I don't want to be accused of gay-bashing. But I think the ideais viable. What scientists are supposed to do is evaluate an idea on the soundness of the logic andthe testing of the predictions it can generate."
The Search for Telltale Signs
AFTER I had spent time talking to Ewald and Cochran and reading back issues of the journalEmerging Infectious Diseases, everything began to look infectious to me. The catalogue of
suspected chronic diseases caused by infection, according to David A. Relman, an assistant
professor of medicine, microbiology, and immunology at Stanford University, now includes"sarcoidosis, various forms of inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupuserythematosus, Wegener's granulomatosis, diabetes mellitus, primary biliary cirrhosis, tropicalsprue, and Kawasaki disease." Ewald and Cochran's list of likely suspects would include all of theabove plus many forms of heart disease, arteriosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, many if not mostforms of cancer, multiple sclerosis, most major psychiatric diseases, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, cerebralpalsy, polycystic ovary disease, and perhaps obesity and certain eating disorders. From anevolutionary perspective, Cochran says, anorexia is strikingly inimical to the survival principle. "Imean, not to eat -- what would cause that?"
"In all these situations you look for little signs of infectious spread," Ewald said in his office. "Is
there geographic variation? Temporal variation? Does it go up or down across decades? Multiplesclerosis seems pretty clearly infectious, because you have these island populations where there wasno MS and then you see it spread like a wave through the population. And you have this latitudinalgradient... "
"Yes!" Cochran burst from the speaker phone. "The farther you get from the Equator, the more
common it is. It's three to four times more common if you grow up in Ontario than if you grow upin Mississippi. Some people have tried to say that's because Canadians are genetically different fromAmericans."
I downloaded a paper about extremely high rates of multiple sclerosis in the Shetland and Orkney
Islands and other regions of Scotland, and I made a mental note of the many Canadian Web sitesdevoted to MS. Like other autoimmune diseases, MS looks suspiciously infectious for a number ofreasons: epidemiological evidence of childhood exposure to disease agents, geographic clusters,abnormal immune responses to a variety of viruses, resemblances to animal models and humandiseases with a relapsing-remitting course. And, in fact, a virus has been nominated: the humanherpes virus 6, the agent of roseola infantum, a very mild disease of childhood. The connection,however, is by no means proved.
"No doubt everywhere people look there will be more and more examples of chronic diseases with
infectious etiology," says Stephen S. Morse, an expert in infectious diseases at the ColumbiaUniversity School of Public Health. " Helicobacter is probably the tip of the iceberg." Although we
have wielded the tools of microbial cultivation for a hundred years, much of the microbial world isstill as mysterious as an alien planet. "It has been estimated that only 0.4 percent of all extantbacterial species have been identified," David Relman has written. "Does this remarkable lack ofknowledge pertain to the subset of microorganisms both capable of and accomplished in causinghuman disease?" Even the germs that inhabit our bodies -- the so-called "human commensal flora,"such as the swarming populations of organisms that live in the spaces between our teeth -- arelargely unknown, he points out. Most of them are presumably benign, up to a point. There aredisquieting suggestions in the literature of a link between bacteria in dental plaque and coronarydisease.
"Some people think it's scary to have these time bombs in our bodies," Ewald says, "but it's also
encouraging -- because if it's a disease organism, then there's probably something we can do aboutit. The textbooks say, In 1900 most people died of infectious diseases, and today most people don'tdie of infectious disease; they die of cancer and heart disease and Alzheimer's and all these things.Well, in ten years I think the textbooks will have to be rewritten to say, "Throughout history mostpeople have died of infectious disease, and most people continue to die of infectious disease."

-Sodium lauryl sulfate: Sodium
lauryl sulfate (SLS) is an acid
commonly found in hygiene and
cleaning products, as it creates
foaming action. It is also found
in toothpaste. Numerous studies
have linked it to higher incidents
of canker sores, and they took
longer to heal than sores not
linked to SLS.
40Copyright 2014 everydayroots.comTips & TroubleshootingBaking soda can help a canker sore heal itself quickly for two reasons. First, it is an alkaline substance
(opposite of acidic)and therefore helps lower the acidity levels in your mouth, which can slow down the healing
process. Secondly, it also works as an anti-bacterial agent, fighting off bad bacteria in your mouth that could be
contributing to it sticking around. Baking Soda Paste
-Roughly 1 teaspoon of warm
water
-Enough baking soda to form
a paste1. Mix together warm water and a little bit of baking soda, adding more
baking soda until a thick paste has formed. Using your fingertip (after
you’ve washed your hands) or a cotton swab, dab the paste onto the
sore and leave on. Apply as often as needed throughout the day.
41Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Canker SoresY ou will need… DirectionsBecause some excess bacteria in the mouth may prolong the healing period of the canker sore, using an
antiseptic will help speed up the process, because it will reduce that bacteria count. An easy to obtain and
straightforward antiseptic is hydrogen peroxide-just make sure you get 3%. Dab on Hydrogen Peroxide
-A cotton swab or cotton ball
-3% hydrogen peroxide1. Saturate a cotton swab or cotton ball in the hydrogen peroxide and
apply to the sore until it “fizzes.”
2. Apply up to 4 times a day.
42Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Canker SoresY ou will need… DirectionsPutting salt on a canker sore sounds like just about the worst thing in the world, but it does seem to help speed
up the healing. One reason is probably because salt draws fluid out of surrounding tissues, which will help with
any painful swelling of the sore. It also helps keep bacteria levels lower. The honey is also antibacterial, and acts
as a medium that makes it easier to apply the salt (it also helps take the sting out a little.)Sea Salt & Honey Rub
-Roughly 1/2 teaspoon of sea
salt
-A smidge of organic raw
honey1. Pour sea salt into a small bowl and add a smidgen of honey, just
enough to get the salt to stick together, but not so much that it will
smother the sore and render the salt useless to dry out the area. Apply
a small blob of this to your canker sore and let it sit, without talking,
eating, or drinking, for about 5-10 minutes. Y ou can do this up to 3 times
a day. An alternative is to simply apply a pinch of sea salt directly to the
sore.
43Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Canker SoresY ou will need… DirectionsThe simplest method to deal with a canker sore may just be gargling with salt water.Salt Water
-1/2 teaspoon of salt
-1/2 cup of warm water1. Stir salt into water and gargle 3 times a day as needed.
44Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Canker SoresY ou will need… DirectionsDo you text? Type on a keyboard? Our lifestyles include an ever
increasing amount of repetitive motion, especially with all the
technology we are hooked into, and carpal tunnel syndrome is
becoming more prevalent than ever before. It occurs when your
median nerve, which runs from your forearm through the carpal tunnel
in your wrist and to your hand, becomes pinched or compressed. This
compression can be caused by a variety of reasons, from repetitive
motion, to sleeping position, to the way your wrist is structured. It
manifests itself as tingling/numbness in the fingers and hand, pain
extending from your wrist up to your shoulder or out to your fingers, and
weakness in your hand or trouble grasping things.Carpal Tunnel
-Try switching to an ergonomic
keyboard/office chair
-Focus on holding hands and
wrists in the correct, relaxed
position
-Try acupuncture or acupressure
to help find relief.
45Copyright 2014 everydayroots.comTips & TroubleshootingIt has a fancy name, but contrast hydrotherapy is just alternating between submerging your wrists in hot and
cold water. It can temporarily take strain off of joints, help with inflammation that may be narrowing your carpal
tunnel, and provide overall pain relief.Contrast Hydrotherapy
-A bowl of hot water
-A bowl of very cold water
-A towel1. Submerge your wrists and hands fully in hot (but not burning) water for
3 minutes, followed by 1 minute in cold water.
2. Repeat this process 3 times consecutively, and repeat the entire
process 2-3 times daily.
46Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Carpal TunnelY ou will need… DirectionsCastor oil is a vegetable oil that is obtained when the seeds of the plant Ricinus communis are pressed, and
medicinal uses date back to ancient Egypt. When applied topically it may help fight inflammation and improve
circulation, relieving some of the pressure on your carpal tunnel.Castor Oil Pack
-Old strips of flannel or some
cheesecloth
-Castor oil
-Hot water bottle (optional)1. Cut strips of clean, undyed flannel or cheesecloth and soak them in
castor oil. Wring out the excess, and wrap your wrists (and hands, if
necessary.) Be prepared to be somewhat incapacitated during this time,
as you can’t do a whole lot with your wrists covered in oil!
2. To keep things neat and together you can wrap an extra layer of thick,
clean, fabric over the original wraps. Doing so also allows you to place
a heating pack over the area if you find heat relieves your discomfort, or
a cold pack. When you’re finished, rinse skin thoroughly. Do this once
daily 5 times a week, or less if you find 5 days unnecessary.
47Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Carpal TunnelY ou will need… DirectionsRich in omega three fatty acids, specifically a-linoleic n-3, flaxseed oil taken regularly can help relieve
inflammation. It is thought to do so by affecting prostaglandins, a group of substances that mediate the
inflammatory process. While fatty acids can contribute to inflammation, they can also help resolve it, the latter of
which seems to be the case with carpal tunnel.Tablespoon of Flaxseed Oil
-1 tablespoon of high-quality
unrefined flaxseed oil1. Take 1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil daily. If it’s going to help you, it takes
about 2-4 weeks to set in to the point that you really notice the relief. Be
aware ahead of time that flaxseed oil may have a laxative like effect on
some people.
48Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Carpal TunnelY ou will need… DirectionsThe common cold has dogged the footsteps of humanity since the
ancient past, a constant, incurable, viral companion that easily claims the
title of the most frequently occurring infectious disease. Technically the
title “cold” should be plural, as over 200 viruses make up its repertoire,
all of which are responsible for adults catching an average of 2-3 a year,
and children 6-12. The majority are accompanied by coughing, sneezing,
sore throat, runny nose, and sometimes a low-grade fever.
Colds are spread primarily in three ways-airborne droplets (e.g. little
drops of snot or saliva, generally expelled upon sneezing or coughing),
coming in direct contact with a contaminated object, such as cups,
and/or coming in direct contact with infected nasal secretions that are
not airborne. The virus will penetrate the mucous layers of the nose
and throat, and attach themselves to cells there. They then punch into
cell membranes, take over, and force the cells to produce hundreds
of thousands of new virus particles. In response your brave and trusty
body gathers its defenses and goes to battle it off. The symptoms you
experience are the result of this immune response, more so than any
actual damage from the virus.
Usually a cold will clear up on its own within a week or two, but
sometimes the little buggers just hang on. And while some may lead to
a stuffy nose and an overall rundown feeling, others can totally put your
life on hold. Whichever you experience, a myriad of home remedies
exist to treat colds (or rather, treat the symptoms, which is really all you
can do) and they are some of the easiest to prepare and use.Cold
-The best way to prevent a cold is
to simply wash your hands properly.
After that, just use common sense-
don’t go eating off of someone’s plate
or sharing water bottles if you know
they’re sick.
-The term community immunity
is a rather important one when it
comes to colds. It describes


 of the electric field, arterioles
and arterial capillaries will contract in certain regions
and possibly by means of the pericytes. Contraction of
arterial capillaries may then lead to regional closure of
leaking arterial stomata at the same time as corre
sponding vdns are wide and continue to keep thdr
stomata open. In Fig. XII: 32 b such selective arterio
lar and arterio-capillary contractions are :seen in dog
mesentery while venules and venous capillaries are
wide and contain many leukocyte.s (Fig. XII: 32 c,
mesentery electropositive, aorta electronegative, 0.1
volt potential difference, 0.03 coulomb, haematoxylin
eosin stain).
A steep transcapillary gradient of an endogenous
demand potential of a tissue in relation to blood should
develop when the front of diffusion app:roachc:s the
exterior of the capillary wall. Such a gradient is already
present between the thrombus and blood (Fig.
XII: 32 a). When the ntinimum potential difference
across the capillary wall for the start of redox reactions
is exceeded, electrode reactions will take place at the
"electrodes" of the capillary walls. Each side of the
endothelial membranes should have one anodic and
one cathodic surface. Ion exchange will then start
through the endothelial cell and over tlhe vascular
interstitial channels of the VICC via leaking venules
and venous capillaries. Packages (vesicles) of nonionic
products (ergonars) from the endothelial electrode sur
faces should be transported through the cyloplasm like
water in electroosmosis (compare also pinocytosis ) and
eventually become ionized ( = activated ) a.t the oppo
site electrode.
This prelintinary theory for long distance closed cir
cuit transport between blood and tissue rep.resents only
one of several possibilities. Evidently selective contrac
tion of venules can take place also, although contrac
tions in venules have been observed on[y rarely in
these experiments. Selective closure of "enules and
venous capillaries would probably also create rather
extraordinary conditions, e.g., increase in capillary m-0

produce diffusion potentials. The electric redox potential
difference in relation to blood adds to the development of a
field-induced regional contraction of adjacent arterial capil·
!aries. The pores of arterial capillaries are then anticipated to
close. Redox reactions will start at the outer and inner dec·
ttode-equivalent surfaces of the endothelial cell membranes.
Two layers of revers.ible redox sites are necessary at each cell
membrane. Transpon of ions will start as long-distance

sites for redox reactions. (b) Simulation of the "injury poten·

and aorta (-). Field-induced contraction of ar1erial capillar
ies makes corresponding venules and venous capillaries fill

material in the wide venous branches) arc clectronegatively
charged. They are attracted electrophoreti cally in the VJCC
to the anode. Haematoxylin ·eosin. tration pressure and perhaps extensive diapedetic
bleedings.
The earlier suggestion that leaking, noncontracted
capillaries should only allow minute closed circuits
adjacent to the capillary membranes now can be recon·
sidered and described as a mechanism for short-distan ce
closed circuit transport across the capillary walls.
These two systems of electrogenic transports appear
to differ in principle by the mechanism of field·
induced arteriolar and arterial-capillary contractions.
Should this function be found in the future to be
related to the presence of pericytes, the short-distance
closed circuit transports should logically be localized
preferably in regions where capillaries appear with
only sparse numbers of pericytes (e.g., in the lungs).
The present experiment s have also revealed a discre·
pancy between morphologic descriptions and function
of capillaries. Traditionally we distinguish anatomical·
ly between arterioles, capillaries and venules. From
the functional point of view it seems more logical to
speak about leaking or contracting arterioles and arte·
rial capillaries ("arteriocapillaries "). These capillaries
are accompanied by predominantly leaking venous ca
pillaires ("venocapillaries" ) and venules.
Is there any further direct or indirect evidence that
these anticipated functions of the capillaries exist? One
argument might be that the clinical, radiologic and
experimental observations reported in this book point
to the existence of a VICC system. It seems difficult to
find an alternative mechanism capable of explaining
the multiplicity of biological events which can be ex·
plaincd by the VICC system. Moreover, one may quts·
rion if rissue function can "afford" nor 10 take advamage
of rhe exceedingly efficient system for sekcrive transports
which closed electric circuits offer. We will therefore
continue in Chapter XIII with a presentation of how
such circuits may be activated, which is closely related
to the problem of transfer of energy.
F. Conclusions
Evidence bas been presented that biologically closed
electric circuits (BCEC) ex.ist. These circuits appear to
represent an additional, previously overlooked, circu
latory system. One important specific circuit is called
the VICC (vascular-interstitial closed circuit), which is
parti~ularly considered in this study. This circuit is
coupled to the mechanisms of bulk transport (diffu·
sion and mechanical circulation ) as a system of selec
tive transport. Beyond this capacity for selective trans
port, BCEC systems are evidently able to influence
"local" chemical processes in the circuits, taking place
148 Biologically closed electric circuits also at "long" distances from the sources of the main
driving forces. Thereby BCEC systems can be recog·
nized to contribute to homeostasis. In later chapters
other important functions of the interacting transport
systems will be demonstrated, with particular empha·
sis on structural development of tissue and healing
processes.
As an introduction to the description of the vascu·
tar-interstitial closed circuit (VICC), two mechanism s
have been distinguished for corrosion of metal im·
plants in bone. The most common and well known
mechanism of corrosion depends on locally different
anoetic and cathodic parts of the implant, causing what
is here called uncomplicated corrosion. The second
mechanism is called complicated corrosion, in which
relatively cathodic and anodic parts characterize tis·
sues of different local electrochemical potentials adja
cent to the metal. Levelling of these differences re·
quires a closed electric circuit, which the metal partly
creates. A closed circuit can, however, also be distin·
guished in tissue without the presence of metal.
Thts leads us to the concept of biologically closed
electric circuits (BCEC). Several kinds of BCEC may
yet be distinguished in the future, based on different
structural arrangements of tissue components and of
body fluids with different conductive properties. This
chapter focuses on vascular-interstitial closed electric
circuits (VICC). This type of BCEC has two conduct·
ing main branches and an intersected regulating
mechanism in the capillary walls.
One branch is formed by the electrically insulating
walls of "large" vessels surrounding their conductive
component, the blood plasma. The other branch is
formed by the conducting interstitial fluid and the
insulating tissue matrix of cell membranes. The red
blood cell membranes also possess a resistive function
in the blood. These cell membranes therefore rcprc·
sent a movable part of the matrix of the VICC, variable
with the haematocrit.
Electrical junctions between plasma and interstitial
fluid are evidently present over the membranes of
capillaries.
An analysis of the capillaries with regard to their
function in the VICC is of particular interest. The
model for transfer of electrons between two redox sites
of an enzyme molecule, suggested by Cope (10

By THE  GREAT  DIVINE  DIRECTOR
DISCOURSE  I
Los ANGELES,  CALIFORNIA  January  10, J937
In memory  of all the Love  which  has  been  poured  out
to the Host  of Ascended  Masters,  and  in the recognition
which  has been  given  Each  One,  do you  realize,  Precious
Ones  of the Light,  that  is a power  of the activity  of your
attention  which  has  been  required?  We  have  been  wait-
ing for that  throuout  the centuries,  to direct  forth  the Cur-
rents  of Energy  which  will  help  you  to hold  your  attention
more  firmly,  not only  upon  your  "I AM  Presence";  but on
the Requirements  for which  you  issue  the Decrees,  that
produce  Happiness  and  Perfection  in your  world.
Unless  you  saw,  from  the  Inner  standpoint,  the  enor-
mous  effect  of a body  of the Children  of Light,  as you have
here tonight,  issuing  a Decree  for blessing  all mankind,
you could  not possibly  comprehend  what  it means.  Natu-
rally,
you gain  from  That  Decree  which  calls  forth  a Def-
inite  Light  Energy.  Notice,  did  you  ever  hear  that  term
before—Light  Energy ?
I tell you,  We are entering  into  a Greater  Activity  than
you have  ever  known;  and  that  is why,  I call  your  atten-1 2 THE  "7 AM"  DISCOURSES
tion to these  Certain  Expressions  which  We shall  use in the
future;  to give  you  a greater  conviction  and  quicken  into
action,  the Qualities  which  We  have  anchored  within  your
feeling  world,  to produce  Harmony  and  Perfection  for
you.  You  will  not  have  the  difficulty  from  New  Year  s
Day on, in holding  firm  to the Light  within  your  feeling,
which  you  have  had  in the past  year.  While  it is true,  you
are Beacon  Lights  in the world  of mankind's  creation;  yet,
even  though  That  Light  grows  greater,  you  shall  not  be
affected  by discordant  things.  That  Light  will  ere long,  be
strong  enough  in Its Own  Radiance,  as It goes  forth—to
repel  every  discordant  thing  which  attempts  to touch  your
world.  Will  you  please  accept  It, as a Powerful  Activity
from  tonight—acting  within  your  world,  your  body,  your
mental  activity ?
Is it not curious  in the beginning  of This  Activity  of the
Messengers,  quite  a number  of people  thought,  it was  just
another  flash  which  would  be soon  passing  out? Well  you
have  not yet become  quite  well  enough  acquainted  with  the
Ascended  Masters,  to realize  They  do not start  something,
which  They  do not see the way  to finish!
So, today,  you  are entering  into  an opportunity  which
will not only  bring  you  Happiness  and  Freedom;  but  will
enable  you  to render  a Service  Transcendent  beyond  even
your  fondest  expectations  now;  and  I say to you,  Beloved
Ones,  never  was  mankind  so favored.  You,  today  have
every  opportunity  which  the  Heart  can  desire,  as It is
bursting  Its bonds  and  entering  Its Freedom.  Think  how DISCOURSE  III  3
long,  the Heart  has  been  held  in bondage  to the intellect.
What  a Service  was  rendered  by Beloved  Saint  Germain,
when  He brought  This  Knowledge  of the "I AM  Presence"
forth  to mankind!  In the number  today,  who  are earnestly
applying  the Law  of the "I AM  Presence,"  what  a Service
has been  rendered  to mankind  and  the Earth!  I give  My
Gratitude  to you,  the Light  having  expanded  thru  you,
for being  able  to accept  and  apply  This  Knowledge;  which
We are as anxious  for you  to have,  as you  could  possibly  be
to have  It. Is that  not a good  combination ? I should  say a
Perfect  Combination.
Now  will  you  enter  with  Me into  that  Great  Determina-
tion,  to harmonize  your  feeling;  to call your  Presence  into
action;  and  then  stand  by in Its Light,  until  the fulfilling  of
that,  whatever  it may  be, comes  into  manifestation ?
I want  to say  a word  to the Group  Leaders  here  and
everywhere  thruout  America.  Do not feel you  are forgotten.
We are watching  the activity  of every  one;  and  the Group
Leader  who  stands  upon  his or her own  two  feet and  pours
out Love  and  Blessings  to That  Group,  will  have  all he or
she can handle;  but the Group  Leader  who  is watching  and
criticising  other  Group  Leaders,  will  probably  not have  any.

’m not sure what first sparked my interest in breathing; whether it was
surfing—being held underwater without air—or if I was led to explore
my day-to-day breathing practic e as part of my journey to maximize my
efficiency as a human and become as high performing as I can be. Either
way, my quest for correct breathing led me to Patrick McKeown and his
clinical work with over 8,000 people, ranging from medical patients to elite
athletes. I appreciate the value of “feeling” things and learning through
experiencing, but Patrick’ s scientific explanation of what is happening in
the body when I nasal breathe as opposed to mouth breathing truly helped
me unde rstand how to use my breath as a tool to support my health and
boost my performance.
Patrick’ s passion for breathing education comes out of his own personal
experience. Even though he himself was an extremely dysfunctional
breather and an asthmatic—he was told by his doctors that he would be on
medication and limited in activit ies for the rest of his life—he cured himself
through breathing practices.
I must admit, I was surprised to learn what a large percentage of us are
living with hidden breathing dysfunctions that wreak havoc on our health,
sleep, and performance. I truly appreciate that Patrick’ s teaching empowers
people to be proactive in suppo rting their own good health. Patrick simply
explains the importance of nasal breathing and balancing respiratory gases
to create better health and mitigate illness, chronic disease, and injuries.
The Oxygen Advantage  was a game-changing read and is one of the top
books we recommend at XPT, not only for health and fitness professionals
but for any individual looking to optimize the most important processes in
their body.If breathing and the breath is the essence of life, and it is meant to be
intuitive, then how do we find our way back to the basics? Patrick makes
this a comprehensive journey that anyone can use and share  with their
friends and family.

OceanofPDF.comIINTRODUCTION
ARE YOU BREATHING COMFORTABLY?
magine a breathing technique that can increase uptake and delivery of
oxygen to cells, improve blood circulation, and even unblock the nose.
Perhaps it can help open the airways of the lungs, enhance blood flow
and oxygen delivery to the brain, improve sleep, and bring calm ness to the
mind. It might even restore bodily functions disturbed by stress, build
greater resilienc e, and help you live longer. You might think this description
sounds far -fetched. But it isn’ t.
This book will guide you through techniques that are the keys to healthy
breathing and healthy living. My goal is to enable you to take responsibility
for your own health, to prevent and significantly reduce a number of
common ailments, to help you realize your potential, and to offer simple,
scientifically based ways to change your breathing habits. On a day-to-day
basis, you will experience an increase in energy, better concentration, an
enhanced ability to deal with stress, and a better quality of life.
Following on from my work The Oxygen Advantage, I’ll explore
breathing from three dimen sions—biochemical, biomechanical, and
cadence—with exercises and science to support functional movement of
muscles and joints, improve debilitating conditions such as diabetes,
epilepsy, lower back pain, PMS, and high blood pressure, and help you
enjoy deeper sleep and better sex. The exercises designed to up-regulate
and down-regulate the nervous system highlight how powerfully the breath
can influence states of the body. Finally, there is a section on the importance
of optimal breathing for childhood development. I am not exaggerating
when I say that no child will reach their full genetic potential unless nasal
breathing and functional breathing are restored.We enter the world with a breath, and the process of breathing continues
automatically for the rest of our lives. Although breathing is an involuntary
action and we don’t usually give it much thought, the way we breathe has
an enormous impact on our health. Because breathing is an innate bodily
function that most of us take for granted, it only gets our attention when
something goes wrong. However, minute-by-minute, breath fulfills its vital
role, providing the body with oxygen, regulating physical


ing to leave her if she did not behave as he wanted
her to. He found her sexually attractive and he was proud of the fact that
she was a successful musician. He loved the image of being married to a
popular and admired pianist, but he did not love her as a person. How could
he love with a closed heart? It wasn’ t possible.
When his first child was born by caesarean section, the nurse handed the
baby to Luke immediately after delivery. Luke was overwhelmed to be
holding this tiny, vulnerable being. A few hours later baby Louis developed
breathing problems and was rushed to intensive care. He fought for his life
for weeks. Luke spent hours sitting by the incubator willing his son to live.
His heart opened to this helpless little baby.As much as he loved his son, he realised that he did not love his wife. By
staying together he was preventing them both from finding true love. He
left her. Friends were aghast that he would dare to leave her after she had
been through so much, but Luke realised that if he stayed he would be a
martyr and would only be staying in the marriage from a sense of duty, not
love.
Giles’  Story
Cecil adored his only son Giles. His heart was completely open to his only
son. Although Cecil lived in sheltered housing for the elderly, Giles visited
him every Sunday. One Sunday they had an ar gument over money and
Giles stormed of f in a mood. Cecil tried to contact him to resolve their
differences but Giles wouldn’ t even pick up the phone. Two weeks later
Cecil had a massive and fatal heart attack.
Giles’  Healing
Cecil left Giles all his money in his will and he also left Giles a letter telling
him how much he loved him. After the shock of his father ’ s death had
passed, Giles was left to deal with intense feelings of guilt and regret. He
wished that he could turn back the clock but he couldn’ t. He is currently
receiving professional counselling.

Healing Guided Meditation for  Fourth Chakra
Go and sit in a park or in a café, somewhere where you can see other
people. Tap the centre of your chest, just above your heart chakra. (This is
where the thymus gland is located.) Tap quite firmly for a couple of minutes
and then stop. Feel the ener gy in this part of your chest. Now, look at eachperson who walks past you and silently send them love. Imagine that you
are ener geti- cally connected to each person at the place where you tapped,
that there is an invisible cord from your upper heart to their upper heart. See
each person as a perfect human being, whatever they look like, whatever
their age or appearance and even if they do not look perfect.
Observe what feelings and thoughts arise in you as you do this.
When you have finished, place your hand firmly on the centre of your chest
and silently say, “I love you” to yourself.

irritating coughs, gum disease, swollen glands, headaches, teeth grinding,
pain in the neck and shoulders.Key Words: Communication, expression, discipline, speaking one’ s truth
What Are Its Functions?
This is the first chakra that takes us above the heart chakra. It is the first of
the higher three chakras. The fifth chakra is about communication, but not
just speaking or writing. It is about speaking your truth and expressing who
you really are. Vishuddha means to clarify. When this chakra is in balance
our words carry truth and clarity. Most people can chatter on for hours and
yet they say nothing. Conversely there are great teachers and poets who
speak volumes in a few words.
When the throat chakra is in balance, you trust your inner guidance and you
are able to communicate in a clear but non threatening way. You are likely
to be a good speaker, an inspired teacher and/or musician. The sense of
timing is linked to this chakra. A balanced fifth chakra produces a creative
person, who creates through art, drama, singing, music or writing.
Communication is as much about hearing as it is about speaking. Many of
us live in noisy environments with the constant distraction of traf fic noise,
television and background music. How often are you in silence? The mind
chatters away inside us. We think nearly all the time. We can only hear the
inner voice when the mind is


 Association,  (July 3, 1926, p. 45.)
on "NERVOUS DISTURBANCES AND SMALLPOX V ACCINATION," is stated, "In
regions in which there is no organized vaccination of the population, general paralysis is
rare. In patients with general paralysis,  he (Dr. Daraskwiewiez) has never seen smallpox
scars, but smallpox vaccination scars were always present."  Various physicians agreed
that, "It is impossible to deny a connection between vaccination and the encephalitis
which follows it."  (emphasis supplied)
In England (1923-1925) an intensive vaccination campaign was carried out which
caused a steady increase in the cases of  Encephalitis-Lethargica  and similar diseases
until in 1924 there were 6,296 reported cases with unestimated thousands of unreported
cases. Liverpool was at least 50% better vaccinated than the rest of England and had
about 100% more encephalitis. The physicians tried to direct blame away from
vaccination by claiming that the diseases were due to "latent infection," "inherited
weakness," or "special susceptibility."
POLIO NOT CAUSED BY LIVING VIRUS
The word poliomyelitis was coined from the Greek words "polios" meaning  gray, and
"myelos" meaning  marrow, plus "itis" meaning  inflammation. Thus the word means
inflammation of the gray matter of the spinal cord or brain or wherever gray matter is to
be found. Every cell of the body contains a small amount of gray matter but it is more
concentrated in the brain and spinal cord. Inflammation results from poisoning, irritation
and obstructions that interfere with normal functioning. This damage, decay and
disintegration of cell structure may terminate in paralysis or death without any invasion
of viruses or germs. Isolated germs have never been known to  attack and cause decay
and disease of any part of the body. It is the corrosive  poison products of decay  that formthe body of the vaccine that does the damage and causes the disease. Germs, bacteria
and other such organisms are a part of decayed substance; they evolve from it and are
necessary ingredients in the life process of eternal change and conversion from one form
of life to a related one.  Vaccine poisoning  is just one of a number of causes of polio and
other diseases. The section on OTHER CAUSES OF POLIO will deal with the other
main causes. Our concern in this section is to show that viruses do not cause polio.
Since VIRUS has been medically designated as the "official" cause of polio we should
first of all agree upon some stable definition of the term. Some dictionaries
define virus as a poison. If this were the accepted definition it would be possible for us
to see the connection between virus and polio. But the physicians and serum makers
prefer to imagine a virus that can fly around in the air and attack people. Any other kind
of a virus could not be made to frighten people into making large donations and in being
vaccinated in the hope of protecting against it. Without an "air-borne" virus to play with,
the whole vaccine racket would collapse. Therefore, the people are constantly reminded
that polio is "catching" and they must have anti-polio "shots" that are  intended to build
up "anti-bodies" (which are also mythical suppositions). Although the promoters of the
virus theory of polio insist that viruses are  living organisms that fly around in the air and
cause polio, this has never been proved. This unscientific, unsound, and
undemonstrated virus theory of causation  not only has no value, but it might safely be
said that it has had the opposite effect. The rapid and ungoverned spread of polio is
largely due to the misplaced confidence in the wrong belief. The popular practice of
combating a false theory, not only leaves the disease unchecked but it directs the
attention away from the  real causes and discourages true investigation.
WHAT IS A VIRUS?
The 1940 Medical Dictionary  defines virus as "the specific living principle by which an
infectious disease is transmitted."
This definition is vague and meaningless because there is no such thing as a "living"
principle. According to the dictionaries, a  principle is a rule, truth, law etc. and is not a
living entity.
The Scientific Encyclopedia  says viruses have been obtained for experimentation by
means of extremely powerful centrifuges which must be specially built. In the same
article it is stated that viruses are so small that they cannot be seen by the most powerful
microscopes. Then how do they know they produced any? - -Or is this game of  hide and
seek just another means of using up the millions of dollars contributed to the  March of
Dimes program?
The Modern Encylopedia,  (1944) says in part "A  virus differs from a bacterium in that
the latter can live and reproduce itself in an artificial culture such as beef broth, whereas
a virus must live inside a living cell. It is because of the protection which the living cell
affords a virus that  serums are of no value in the treatment of virus diseases."This shows us that as far back as 1944 it was known that virus vaccines have no value in
treating disease. Yet these succeeding 10 years have seen more millions of dollars
squandered and more monkeys and other animals and people tortured and killed and
more propaganda built on the false premise that viruses cause polio, than ever before.
Webster’s Dictionary  refers to virus as a "slimy or poisonous liquid".  Pus is a slimy
poisonous liquid and forms where there is inflammation and disintegration of tissue.
This break-down and disintegration of life cells is not a result of invasion of germs or
viruses but is due to the interference with the chemical balance that holds the structure in
a state of normal functioning. When poisons from such things as vaccines, drugs,
narcotics, contaminated and devitalized foods etc. cause degeneration of the cells and
disease, the condition is usually labeled according to the location of the most decay. For
instance, when there is  inflammation of the kidney it is called Bright’s Disease; if it is in
the joints, it is arthritis, in the stomach it is ulcers, in the lungs, we call it tuberculosis, in
the pancreas, it is diabetes and when there is inflammation of the brain and spinal cord
affecting the nerves and muscles it is called POLIO.
All cases of polio are not paralytic. Dr. Shelton discusses the subject in an article titled,
DO PHYSICIANS CAUSE INFANTILE PARALYSIS? (Hygienic Review, Dec. 1944)
in which he says: "I have never seen paralysis result in cases of poliomyelitis that had
not been treated with drugs... They (the physicians) kill and cripple their patients with
their suppressive measures and then blame the results on the ‘disease’ or on an
unknown virus. The value of the Kenny treatment is the negative one of being less
suppressive and less destructive than the battle-ax treatment of the medical profession. It
does not cure more, it merely kills fewer."
"In 1908 Dr. Karl Landsteiner,  Austrian pathologist, published his theory, still held today
(by backward medical doctors) that it is a ‘virus’ that launches epidemic polio. A ‘virus’
is defined (by him) as a pathogenic, or disease producing microbe, the poison of a
contagious disease. Landsteiner based his theory on the fact that he had been able to
induce polio in monkeys by injecting them with nerve tissues from fatal human cases.
Believing that ‘the poliomyelitis produced in experimental animals is pseudo-
poliomyelitis produced by  Pseudo (false) virus’. Dr. Scobey (in his research) reasoned
that ‘the disease they produced in the monkey was an artificial disease and not a natural
illness as it occurred in man.’ After exhausting medical literature in the form of case-
histories of the subject in all lands and at all known times of its appearance, he
concluded: (1) It has never been proved that the ‘virus’ of polio can cause that disease in
human beings; (2) It  has been proved that polio can be caused
by cyanide poisoning." (Prevention Magazine,  June, 1950)
Cyanide is one of the deadly poisons that is permitted to be used in insecticide sprays on
farm produce. It not only poisons the food it is sprayed on but it is washed by the rains
into the soil where it kills the valuable earth worms and other soil building organisms and renders the farm land sterile and unproductive. It also washes down into the streams
and contaminates the water supply for both man and animals.
During one of our most widespread polio epidemics (1949) ‘contraction of polio by
definite contact with other victims of the disease was not established in an elaborate
study made by the New York State Health Department. The United States Public Health
Service in its studies also found the same negative answer during succeeding outbreaks
of polio. In short, they learned that the disease was not contagious." TIME Magazine
commented on this unexpected revelation of these surveys by remarking that "when and
where people

tosynthesis, plant chlorophyll, plant enzymes, sunlight, carbon dioxide from theair,and
mineralized water from thesoilcombine and, inacomplicated process, synthesize car-
bohydrates. Humans obtain their carbohydrate needs most efficiently from theplant
world.
7.1.4 Carbohydrates: Past and Present
Inthepast andinsome parts oftheworld today,people’ sdiets consisted largely of
carbohydrate foods, especially those growing locally.Inmost oftheWestern world to-
day,however,meats andother protein/ fatfoods comprise adisproportionate partofthe
diets ofmany people, andprocessed andrefined carbohydrate products arebeing con-
sumed in lethal quantities.
While people dosurvive, atleast forarelatively short lifespan, ondiets high inpro-
teins andrefined carbohydrates, thissurvival islow-level survival, with suffering from
illnesses ofnumerous varieties being considered thenorm. Ahigh-level state ofhealth
andwell-being ispossible only ifourneeds aremetinkeeping with ourbiological adap-
tation andifdestructive practices areremoved from ourlives. Thefurther wecarry this,
thehealthier andhappier wewillbe,forjoyissupposed tobeourprimary experience in
life— not suf fering.
During thepast 70years orso,more andmore food processing andrefining estab-
lishments have been created, andthey areproducing horrendous qualities ofhighly-re-
fined, highly-processed andhighly-chemicalized so-called “foods.” Anextremely large
proportion ofthese “foods” arecarbohydrates—that is,they provide energyintheform
ofcalories. Butthey arenotrealfoods because they lack many oftheelements from
theoriginal food source thatmake afood afood. Forexample; thegerm andbran are
removed from wheat, leaving only starch; andthevitamins, minerals andfiber that
need tobewith thestarch tomake thewheat awhole food aremissing. Removing
natural food components andthen attempting toputthem back byadding specified
amounts ofsynthetic vitamins andminerals, byusing bran separate from thewhole
wheat berries, andbytaking food supplement pills andpowders istheheight ofabsurdi-
ty.First ofall,it’snoteffective, andsecondly,it’sexpensive, time-consuming and, most
of all—UNNECESSAR Y!
Even physiology texts, which aremedically oriented rather than health oriented, say
thatacasually selected dietofcarbohydrates islikely tobepoor intheessential amino
acids, vitamins andminerals. Life Scientists/ Natural Hygienists recognize thenecessity
ofhigh-quality carbohydrates inthedietandtheneed toeschew theproducts marketed
bythefood industries; Hygienists advocate areturn toahigh-carbohydrate dietconsist-
ingofwhole foods, with fiber intact, thatprovide ourneeds forcomplete proteins, vita-
mins and or ganic minerals.
7.2. Classification Of Carbohydrates
7.2.1 Monosaccharides
7.2.2 Glucose (also known as dextrose or grape sugar)
7.2.3 Fructose (also known as levulose or fruit sugar)
7.2.4 Galactose
7.2.5 Disaccharides7.2.6 Sucrose
7.2.7 Maltose (also known as malt sugar)
7.2.8 Lactose (also known as milk sugar)
7.2.9 Polysaccharides
7.2.10 Starch
7.2.1 1 Dextrin
7.2.12 Glycogen
7.2.13 Cellulose
Carbohydrates, also known assaccharides,areclassified according tothenumber
ofsingle carbohydrate molecules ineach chemical structure. Carbohydrate compounds
having justonecarbohydrate molecule arecalled monosaccharides ;compounds with
twocarbohydrate molecules arecalled dissar charides ;andthose compounds containing
more than twocarbohydrate molecules arenamed polysaccharides.Allcarbohydrates
either aremonosaccharides orcanbehydrolyzed (broken down) intotwoormore mono-
saccharides.
Forfurther understanding ofthese different classifications ofcarbohydrates, the
monosaccharides anddisaccharides canbegrouped together andcompared with the
polysaccharides. This canbedone because monosaccharides anddisaccharides have cer-
tain things in common.
Forone, they areboth water soluble. Inaddition, they have asweet taste andacrys-
talline structure. Themonosaccharides anddisaccharides arecalled sugars andallshare
the suf fix,-ose, meaning sugar.
Polysaccharides, incontrast tomono- anddisaccharides, areinsoluble inwater,do
nottaste sweet anddonotform crystals. Also, they donotshare asuffixandhave no
group name (such assugars, inthecase ofmono-arid disaccharides). They aresome-
times called starches, butthisistechnically incorrect because there aremany other clas-
sifications ofpolysaccharides besides starches (cellulose andglycogen being twoand
dextrin being another).
7.2.1 Monosaccharides
These aretheonly sugars thatcanbeabsorbed andutilized bythebody.Disaccha-
rides andpolysaccharides must beultimately broken down intomonosaccharides inthe
digestive process known ashydrolysis.Only then canthey beutilized bythebody.Three
monosaccharides areparticularly important inthestudy ofnutritional science: glucose,
fructose and galactose.
7.2.2 Glucose (also known as dextrose or grape sugar)
This monosaccharide isthemost important carbohydrate inhuman nutrition because
itistheonethatthebody fuses directly tosupply itsenergyneeds. Glucose isformed
from thehydrolysis ofdi-andpolysaccharides, including starch, dextrin, maltose, su-
crose andlactose; from themonosaccharide fructose largely during absorption; andfrom
both fructose and galactose in the liver during metabolism.
Glucose isthecarbohydrate found inthebloodstream, anditprovides animmediate
source ofenergyforthebody’ scells andtissues. Glucose isalso formed when stored
body carbohydrate (glycogen) is broken down for use.
Intheplant world, glucose iswidely distributed. Itisfound inallplants andinthe
sapoftrees. Fruits andvegetables arewholesome food sources ofglucose. Itisalsopre-
sent in such unwholesome (to humans) substances as molasses, honey and corn syrup.7.2.3 Fructose (also known as levulose or fruit sugar)
Fructose, amonosaccharide, isvery similar toanother monosaccharide, galactose.
These twosimple sugars share thesame chemical formula; however,thearrangements
oftheir chemical groups along thechemical chain differ.Fructose isthesweetest ofall
thesugars andisfound infruits, vegetables andthenectar offlowers, aswell asinthe
unwholesome (tohumans) sweeteners, molasses andhoney.Inhumans, fructose ispro-
duced during the hydrolysis of the disaccharide, sucrose.
7.2.4 Galactose
Galactose differsfrom theother simple sugars, glucose andfructose, inthatitdoes
notoccur freeinnature. Itisproduced inthebody inthedigestion oflactose, adisac-
charide.
7.2.5 Disaccharides
Disaccharides, onhydrolysis, yield twomonosaccharide molecules. Three particular
disaccharides warrant discussion inalesson onnutritional science: sucrose, maltose and
lactose.
7.2.6 Sucrose
The disaccharide, sucrose, consists ofonemolecule ofeach oftwo monosaccha-
rides—glucose andfructose. Sucrose isfound infruits andvegetables andisparticularly
plentiful insugar beets (roots) andsugarcane (agrass). Refined white andbrown sugars
areclose to100% sucrose because almost everything else(including theother kinds of
sugars present, thevitamins, theminerals andtheproteins) have been removed inthere-
fining process. Maple syrup andmolasses are,likerefined sugars, unwholesome sweet-
eners; both contain over 50% sucrose. Italmost goes without saying thatanyfoods, so-
called, containing significant amounts of refined sugar are high in sucrose.
7.2.7 Maltose (also known as malt sugar)
This disaccharide, unlike sucrose, isnotconsumed inlargeamounts intheaverage
American diet. Itisfound inmalted cereals, malted milks andsprouted grains. Also,
corn syrup is26percent maltose andcorn sugar is4percent maltose. None ofthese
“foods” is wholesome, with
