AS MEMBERS  OF THE RO SE F AMIL Y OF PLANTS, blackberries
(Rubus fruticosus)  and  raspberries grow on brambles or canes and are
sometimes called bramble fruits. Y ou might still find them grow ing wild in
country hedger ows because they tolerate shade. The thorns of the
blackberry plant  are much more  dangerous to the berry picker than those of
the rasp berry; for this reason, t hornless varieties have been cultivated and
are preferred, especially by pick-your -own operators. Unlike the central
core of the raspberry, that of th e blackberry stays with the bla ckberry and
can be eaten when ripe. Good Pr eserving V arieties
Helen:  No thorns; early variety with good flavour; popular at pick-your -
own farms. John Innes:  Slightly thorny; lar ge black, very tasty fruit. Kotata:  Thorny; excellent quality; available at the end of July. Merton Thornless:  N o thorns, medium-size fr uit, robust and full
blackberry taste. Silvan:  Th orny; early variety; very juicy fruit with sweet-tangy and
aromatic flavour. Pur chasing/Storing
• 1 lb (500 g) blackberries yields about 2-1/2 cups (625 mL). • Y ou will need about 1-1/2 lb (750 g) for each quart (1 L) jar. Although they are an aggregate  fruit like raspberries, blackberries do not
come away from the core when picked; however, the berry should separate
with no more than a gentle tug. If a hard pull is needed to separate it fromthe c ore, the fruit isn’ t ripe. T ransport chilled, and use as soon as  possible or
refrigerate for up to 3 days. W ash just before using. Good W ith
• Lemon herbs such as lemon balm, lemon thyme, lemon verbena; anise
herbs such as sweet cicely, chervil. • Sweet seasonings such as cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, vanilla,
almond. • Semi-soft cheeses such as havarti, Boursin; medium-age cheddars; goat
cheese. • Other berries, such as raspberries, boysenberries, loganberries,
huckleberries, cherries. • Other fruit, such as bananas, peaches, apricots, plums, nectarines, pears. • T oasted almonds, pecans and walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios. • Egg and milk products/dishes such as yogurt, crème brûlée, whipped
cream, crème fraîche, custard. • Mild fish such as tilapia, orange roughy and sole; pork, duck, goose, veal,
chicken. Pr eparation
Do not wash until just before using; wash in small amounts us ing a sieve,
under gently running cool water. Pick over and remove lingering stems. Canning Blackberries
See detailed canning information, Methods. 1. Pr epar e Equipment:  W ash and heat pint (2-cup/500 mL) or quart (1 L)
jars, and  scald the lids, funnel, la dle and tongs ( Boiling W ater Method, Step
by Step ). 2. Make a Light Syrup:  In a la r ge sauc epan, combine 1 cup (250 mL)
granulated suga r with 4 cups (1 L) water; stir until dissolved. Bring to a
gentle b oil over  high heat. Mak es 4-1/2 cups (1.125 L) syrup,  enough for
three or four 1-quart (1 L) jars of blackberries.Note:  Y ou  can use the same amount of apple juice or white grape juice in
place of the light syrup. 3. P ack Blackberries Raw  (because blackberries are soft, Hot Pack is not
recommended). Make a  Raw Pack:  Fill  jars  with blackberries, shak ing the
jar to  pa ck fairly tightly. Cover with hot syrup or juice, leaving a  1/2-inch (1
cm) hea dspace. Run a thin non- metallic utensil around the inside of the jar
to allow  air to e scape. Add hot liquid, if necessary, to leave a  1/2-inch (1
cm) headspace. W ipe sealing edge of jars with a clean, damp, lint-free
cloth. Position flat lids over the tops of jars and hand-tighten screw bands. 4. P r ocess blackberries in a  canner:  U se a Boilin g W ater Canner
according to the chart below. OR
Process blackb erries in a Pr essure Canner following manufacturer ’ s
directions for steam pressure and time at your altitude. 5. Cool, Label and Stor e:  L ift jars from c anner and place on a clean towel
or rack. Do not re-tighten screw bands. Let the jars cool to room
temperature. This may take from 12 to 24 hours. Remove and store screw
bands. Check lid seals ( Boiling W ater Method, Step by  Step ). W ipe and
label sealed jars. Store in a cool, dark place. b l a c k b e r r y  p u d d i n g  c a k eThis bec omes a year -r ound favo urite if you have any type of fr o zen berries

make a sauce. Y ou can use dra ined canned blackberries in this r ecipe as
well as fr esh or fr ozen. For the version pictur ed, I used fr ozen blueberries,
blackberries and  raspberries. It is the raspberries that lighten u p the sauce,
making it pink i nstead of a deep wine colour if only blackberri es had been
used. 6-cup (2 L) baking or soufflé dish, lightly oiled

This cor dial is one of a few  homemade drink syrups that give my
entertaining a very personal flavour. I enjoy having this on hand for mixing
tall summer iced r efr eshers and winter cocktails. Combined with
carbonated mineral water or chilled white wine, it makes a light and fruity
drink. W hen mixed with spirits, the r esult is a dark and m ysteriously

ge yourself with a favorite product because you are worth
it. Outlaw self-denial unless it is absolutely necessary—and it rarely
is. • After a tiring day and a large meal take a brief nap or a jog in
the park even if you have too many things to do. It will help you to
feel one hundred percent better. • Join an organization, or sign up for an activity that you will en-
joy. Perhaps you’ve been putting this off because you have so many
responsibilities that you just don’t have the time. ByFIRST LOVE  / 45choosing to love yourself, and partaking of the slices of life that you
want, those others that you serve will begin to learn some self-reli-
ance of their own. And you will find yourself with an absence of
resentment toward them. You will be serving them out of choice,
rather than obligation. • Eliminate jealousy by recognizing it is a put-down of yourself. By comparing yourself to some other person and imagining you are
loved less, you make others more important than you. You are
measuring your own merit in comparison to another. Remind
yourself that (1) Someone can always choose another without having
it be a reflection on you, and (2) whether or not you are chosen by
any significant other is not the way you validate your own self-worth. If you make it that way, you are doomed to eternal self-doubt, be-
cause of the uncertainty of how a particular someone out there is
going to feel at any precise moment of any given day. Should he/she
choose another, that choice reflects only the other, not you. With
practice at self-love, any circumstances in which you’ve previously
found yourself to be jealous will be reversed. You’ll believe so much
in you that you won’t need the love or approval of others to give
you value. • Your self-love activity might also include new ways of treating
your body, such as selecting good nutritional foods, eliminating
excess weight (which can be a health risk as well as an indication of
self-rejection), taking regular walks or bicycle rides, choosing plenty
of healthy exercise, getting outdoors to enjoy fresh air because it
feels good, and in general keeping your body healthy and attractive. Provided you want to be healthy. Why? Because you are important
and are going to treat yourself that way. Any total day spent cooped
up or inactive in boring routine activities is a vote for self-enmity. Unless you actually prefer being cooped-up, in which case you make
that choice. • Sexually, you can practice greater self-love. You can stand naked
in front of a mirror and tell yourself how attractive you46 / Your Erroneous Zonesare. You can get in touch with your body. Explore yourself sensually,
give yourself goosebumbs of shivery pleasure. With others, you can
also choose sexual fulfillment for you, rather than making your
partner’s pleasure more important than your own. Only by choosing
gratification for yourself can you give pleasure. If you aren’t happy,
generally your partner is disappointed. Moreover, when you choose
yourself, others are more able to choose happiness for themselves. You can slow down the whole process of sex, teaching your lover
what you like with words and actions. You can choose orgasm for
yourself. You can make yourself achieve the ultimate physical exper-
ience by believing that you are worth it, and then getting lost in the
excitement of verifying it for you. Why? Because you are worth it! • You can stop equating your performance in anything with your
own self-worth. You may lose your job, or fail a given project. You
may not like the way you performed this or that task. But that doesn’t
mean that you are without worth. You must know for yourself, that
you are worth something regardless of your achievements. Without
this knowledge, you will be persistently confusing yourself with
your external activities. It is just as absurd to make your self-value
depend upon some outside accomplishment as it is to tie it in with
some external person’s opinion of you. Once you eliminate this
confusion, you will be able to set about all kinds of undertakings,
and your final score—while it may be interesting to you—will in no
way determine how valuable you are as a person. These, and many like them, are the actions of those who love
themselves. They may often challenge the lessons that you’ve learned
as you’ve grown-down. At one time, you were the epitome of self-
love. As a child, you knew instinctively that you were worthy. Now look back at the questions in the introduction to this book.FIRST LOVE  / 47•Can you accept yourself without complaint? •Can you love yourself at all times? •Can you give and receive love? These are the issues that you can work on. Setting personal goals

YOU DON’T NEED THEIR
APPROVAL
Needing approval is tantamount to saying, “Your view of me is more
important than my own opinion of myself.”
You may be spending far too many of your present moments in
efforts to win the approval of others, or in being concerned with
some disapproval that you have encountered. If approval has become
a need in your life, then you have some work to do. You can begin
by understanding that approval-seeking is a desire rather than a
necessity. We all enjoy applause, compliments and praise. It feels
good when we are mentally stroked. Who would want to give this
up? Well, there’s no need to. Approval in itself is not unhealthy; in
fact, adulation is deliciously pleasurable. Approval-seeking is an
erroneous zone only when it becomes a need rather than a want. If you want the approval, you are simply happy to have the en-
dorsement of other people. But, if you need it, you are going to col-
lapse if you don’t get it. That’s when the self-destructive forces move
in. Similarly, when approval-seeking becomes a
49need, you give up a chunk of yourself to the “outside person” whose
advocacy you must have. If they disapprove, then you are immobil-
ized (even in a small way). In such a case, you have chosen to wear
your self-worth on your sleeve for someone to rub or not rub as they
see fit. You feel good inside only if they decide to administer some
praise to you. The need for approval of another person is bad enough, but the
real trouble comes with the need for the approval of everyone for
every act. If you carry around such a need, then you are bound for
a great deal of misery and frustration in your life. Moreover, you
will be incorporating a wishy-washy non-person self-image that will
result in the kind of self-rejection that was discussed in the previous
chapter. The need for approval must go! No question marks here. It must
be eradicated from your life if you are to gain personal fulfillment. Such need is a psychological dead end, with absolutely no benefits
accruing to you. It is impossible to go through life without incurring a great deal
of disapproval. It is the way of humanity, the dues you pay for your
“aliveness,” something that simply cannot be avoided. I once worked
with a middle-aged man who fit into the classic approval-needing
mentality. Ozzie had a set of beliefs on all controversial subjects,
including abortion, birth control, war in the Middle East, Watergate,
politics and everything else. Whenever he encountered scorn he
came unglued. He spent a great deal of his energy in getting every-
one to sanction him for everything that he said and did. He related
an incident with his father-in-law, in which he stated that he firmly
believed in mercy killing, and he noticed his father-in-law wrinkling
his brow in censure. Instantly, almost reflexively, Ozzie modified
his position…. “What I meant was, if someone is conscious and ac-
tually asks to be killed, then mercy killing is O.K.” He noticed his
listener was in agreement and Ozzie breathed a little easier. With
his boss he also declared his belief in mercy killing, but here he re-
ceived a vociferous disagreement…. “How can50 / Your Erroneous Zonesyou even say such a thing? Don’t you know that’s playing God?”
Ozzie could not tolerate such repudiation, he quickly shifted into a
new stance…. “What I meant was, only in extreme cases, when a
patient is declared legally dead, then it’s all right to pull the plug.”
Finally, his boss acquiesed, and Ozzie was once more off the hook. With his brother he announced his position on mercy killing and he
received an instant concurrence…. “Whew.” That was easy for Ozzie,
he didn’t even have to change in order to get his brother to approve
of him. All of these examples were provided by Ozzie as he related
his normal way of interacting with others. Ozzie travels in his social
circles with no mind of his own, and his need for commendation is
so strong that he constantly shifts his position in order to be liked. There is no Ozzie, only the happenstance reactions of others which
determine not only how Ozzie feels, but also

Bone Broth Recipe
Just as a reminder, bone broths are very effective towards improving your health and encouraging
tooth mineralization and should be included in your diet on a daily basis. 1
. Bones—from chicken, fish, shellfish, beef, lamb
Regular bones are fine. But ideally for chicken use chicken feet and heads. For beef and lamb
knuckle bones work very well. For fish having the head with the carcass is ideal. 2
. Cover the bones with water
3
. Add two tablespoons of vinegar (any type) per quart of water
4
. Vegetables such as carrots and onions can be added to soup stock
Making broth is not difficult. Put the bones in a pot, add water and vinegar to cover by a couple of
inches and let it stand for 30-60 minutes. Bring the pot to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Remove any scum at the top of the broth with a spoon. Ideally simmer for 24-48 hours. As little as 6
hours will do. Strain the broth to remove the bones. The meat on the bones or marrow inside the
bones is edible. Bieler’s Soup
This is the original healing soup of Dr. Henry Bieler, which will help strengthen your glands and
provide balance to a diet rich in animal foods. 1 pound of string beans, ends removed
2 pounds zucchini, chopped
1 handful of curly parsley*
Enough water to cover your veggies
Add all ingredients to rapidly boiling water and boil for 10-15 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces
the zucchini skin. Purée using the cooking water (it is important to use this water as it contains
vitamins and minerals) and make the soup to the consistency you desire. This specific recipe is designed for healing when the body is ill. Feel free to modify this recipe by
adding all kinds of different vegetables to make a soup to suit your personal needs. *Pregnant and lactating women should limit their parsley intake as it dries up breast milk. Eggnog Tooth-Strengthening Formula
For those who have difficulty absorbing nutrients from foods, organic or high-quality raw eggs will
help heal this problem. The raw egg formula gave me food to eat when I was having difficulties
digesting other types of foods. Combining raw eggs with raw milk ensures the maximum level ofassimilation of nutrients from the raw milk. This mixture regenerates intestinal mucosa and helps heal
leaky gut syndrome. Try the following blend:

1 cup raw milk, kefir or yogurt
1-2 raw eggs

optional ingredients include:
2 ounces of raw cream
½ teaspoon raw honey, or organic maple syrup
dash of nutmeg and cinnamon for flavor
a drop or two of vanilla extract
carob or chocolate powder
To enhance assimilation, have ingredients at room temperature. Note
: If you are pregnant and eating raw eggs, then for every five days of eating raw eggs, abstain for
two days. 1
A word of caution. You may initially feel worse after eating raw eggs if you do not regularly eat
them. Raw eggs can induce intense detoxification symptoms as your body cleanses. For example, on
one occasion I ate raw farm-fresh eggs, and my body started to release and detoxify residues of
Valium (a drug I had taken 15 years earlier for pain). I knew it was Valium because of its
unmistakable feelings of nausea and disassociation, and I was violently ill for about one day as my
body dumped the drug residues into my stomach. Afterward I ate the same eggs both raw and cooked
without aversion or health problems. Egg whites:
 Some people believe in only eating the egg whites. Others believe in eating only or
mostly the egg yolks, and limiting their egg white intake because of the risk of possibly inducing a
biotin deficiency. Eating only the yolk is an acceptable practice. My personal preference is to eat the
whole egg. Spicy Steak Tartare for Fighting Tooth Infections
This raw meat recipe was used to successfully heal a tooth infection. 1 pound raw ground pastured bison, beef, or lamb
4 oz. of yellow butter
1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or fresh spicy chilies
1 tablespoon of raw, unheated honeyPlace butter, cayenne, and raw honey in a glass jar or bowl. Then immerse that bowl in a bowl of hot
water that is not too hot. A double boiler turned on low will suffice. You must not raise the
temperature of the food above 93 degrees Fahrenheit in order to preserve the enzymes. Once the
butter/honey/cayenne mixture is melted, add the ground bison and stir. This is a healthy raw food
dish. If you try this recipe with cooked meat, your success rate will be greatly diminished. Cayenne pepper is used in many natural healing remedies and can promote the healing of tooth
infections. Fish Head Soup
Fish head soup is a delicacy in many parts of the world. The basic concept of fish head soup is boiled
fish heads and flavoring. This soup will be richer if prepared with fish stock, but it can also be
prepared with water only. I chose a recipe here that does not retain the whole fish head, but when the
head is floating in the soup it is much more fun. ½ to 2 pounds of fish heads. Remove the gills before making the soup and clean head thoroughly
with water. Fill your soup pot with water just up to the heads or slightly below. Simmer with 1-2 tablespoons of thinly sliced ginger for 15-30 minutes. Strain the broth. Pick all of the meat and soft tissues off the bones. Anything that is soft is edible. Return the meat
to the broth. There are many variations of the soup. You can sauté any or all of the following with sesame oil, fish
sauce or wine including onions, garlic, leeks, bamboo shoots, and red peppers. You can also add
cabbage or other vegetables while the soup is cooking. Alternatively make a creamy soup with cream
and potatoes like a fish head chowder. Ayurvedic Green Drink
Many ancient traditions including Ayurveda believe that most vegetables need to be eaten cooked, not
raw. This recipe provides the green goodness of vegetables with spices and calcium to provide a
nutrient rich-smoothie or soup. ¼ teaspoon natural salt
¼ teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 tablespoon of ghee
8 ounces of water
16 ounces of fresh vegetables
4 ounces of paneer raw or cooked (cheese curd)
1
. Make paneer. 2
. Add turmeric, salt, water, oil, and cook for 15 minutes. 3
. Add greens and masala and cover with glass top. Watch for brightness in the green color of the
vegetables. When you see a rich brilliant green, stop cooking. Blend the vegetables with the
pane


thoughts	and	emotions	can	increase	our	toxic
loads	internally. Our	bodies	do	have	the	ability	to	detoxify,	but	our	detoxification	mechanisms
require	essential	nutrients	to	function	properly. Inadequate	nutrition	deprives	the
body	of	the	raw	materials	necessary	to	detoxify,	so	toxic	levels	build	and
negatively	affect	cellular	health. In	our	society,	toxic	overload	is	having	a	bigger
effect	than	it	should,	because	our	deficient	diets	do	not	supply	the	nutrients
necessary	to	operate	and	maintain	our	detoxification	mechanisms. Not	only	is
our	toxic	load	the	highest	in	history,	but	our	ability	to	process	and	eliminate
these	toxins	is	impaired. Because	we	know	that	excessive	toxic	exposure	causes	disease,	learning	about
the	toxin	pathway	can	teach	us	which	substances	are	toxic,	how	toxic	they	are,
where	they	are,	how	they	get	there	and	how	we	can	minimize	our	exposures	tothem. The	toxin	pathway	provides	insight	into	the	toxic	aspects	of	our	daily	lives
—in	our	food	supply,	water	supply,	homes	and	personal	products	(including
many	soaps,	shampoos	and	toothpastes). Fortunately,	healthful	alternatives	are
available. Toxic	exposure	is	a	fact	of	life,	and	the	body	is	designed	to	deal	with
it. Our	problem	is	toxic	overload,	i.e.,	when	the	toxic	input	exceeds	our	ability	to
process	it. Understanding	this	pathway	can	help	us	to	reduce	toxic	exposure	to
manageable	levels	by	teaching	us	to	recognize	and	avoid	toxins	in	our	daily
lives. Pathway	Number	Three:	Psychological
The	psychological	pathway	may	turn	out	to	be	the	most	important	pathway	of
all. Through	study	of	the	psychological	pathway,	we	learn	about	the	significance
of	thoughts,	emotions	and	behavior,	and	how	these	affect	our	health. Many	people	believe	that	the	mind	has	an	enormous	effect	on	the	body. This
idea,	however,	is	based	on	the	supposition	that	the	mind	somehow	is	separated
from	the	body. In	truth,	the	entire	body,	including	the	brain,	is	the	mind. When
we	understand	that	the	mind	and	body	are	one,	reports	of	placebo	effects	and
miraculous	healings	should	not	be	surprising. In	fact,	they	are	part	of	everyday
life. Our	thoughts	and	emotions	trigger	a	cascade	of	biochemical	reactions	that
either	enhance	or	damage	health. How	we	react	to	various	life	events	and	how
we	respond	to	our	thoughts	and	emotions	are	choices	that	can	damage	or
enhance	cellular	health. What	we	allow	to	enter	our	minds	on	a	daily	basis	is
critical. What	we	think	and	feel	over	a	lifetime	plays	a	major	role	in	our	health
or	illness. The	significance	and	impact	of	the	factors	associated	with	this
pathway	may	indeed	be	more	important	than	all	the	nutrients	and	toxins	we	put
into	our	bodies,	perhaps	even	more	important	than	all	the	other	pathways	put
together. The	psychological	pathway	explores	the	subjects	relevant	to	behavioral
and	psychological	factors	in	health	and	disease,	including	meditation,	stress,
thoughts,	emotions	and	the	placebo	effect. Pathway	Number	Four:	Physical
The	physical	pathway	contains	recommendations	on	how	to	recognize	and
provide	for	the	body’s	physical	needs. This	pathway	can	be	used	to	enhance
physical	potential	and	to	minimize	physical	damage. Just	as	nutrition	and	toxic
avoidance	are	important	to	health,	physical	maintenance	and	care	are	also
essential	to	the	health	equation. Most	Americans	do	not	get	adequate	exercise,	sleep	or	sunlight. An	indoor,sedentary	lifestyle	means	little	or	no	exercise	nor	exposure	to	natural	light. Our
mental	lifestyle,	meanwhile,	is	excessively	fast	paced,	and	this,	together	with	a
high	incidence	of	sleep	deprivation,	means	that	often	we	are	chronically	and
seriously	stressed. Also	we	are	exposed	to	subtle	physical	influences,	such	as
electromagnetic	fields	caused	by	the	wiring	in	our	homes,	hairdryers,	heaters,
electric	razors,	cell	phones	and	the	X	rays	we	receive	as	part	of	medical	and
dental	evaluations. Pathway	Number	Five:	Genetic
Limit	genetic	damage. Optimize	genetic	potential. These	are	the	goals	we
strive	toward	on	the	genetic	pathway. The	genetic	pathway	focuses	on	optimizing	the	expression	of	our	genes	to
promote	health	and	limit	any	damage	to	the	genes. Each	human	being	is
genetically	unique;	inherent	strengths	and	weaknesses	are	a	part	of	our	basic
genetic	makeup. Genes	are	the	blueprint	of	life. Our	genes,	however,	rarely	have
the	final	say	and	they	are	certainly	not	the	primary	cause	of	disease	that	modern
medicine	would	have	us	believe. Genes	are	a	potential	for	expression,	and	they
express	themselves	in	ways	commensurate	with	life’s	circumstances. The	genetic	pathway	explores	topics	such	as	the	genetic	causes	for	disease	and
the	effects	of	genetically	engineered	foods. Further,	this	pathway	identifies
specific	hazards	that	can	potentially	cause	genetic	damage,	such	as
environmental	chemicals,	prescription	drugs	and	radiation. Most	important	is	the
personal	resolve	of	individuals	to	commit	themselves	seriously	to	optimizing

The	medical	pathway	is	perhaps	the	most	surprising	and	most	misunderstood
of	all	the	pathways. As	we	have	noted,	many	people	rave	about	and	swear	by	the
near-miraculous	feats	accomplished	by	modern	medicine. The	technology	that
contemporary	medicine	has	to	offer	is	best	used	in	crisis	intervention	and	trauma
care. However,	such	applications	are	limited. No	doubt	that	physicians	are	well-
meaning,	but	a	blind	trust	in	them	and	in	the	treatments	they	offer	(surgery	and
drugs)	to	the	exclusion	of	other	considerations	can	lead	to	destructive	and	even
lethal	consequences. The	medical	pathway	helps	to	explain	how	modern	medicine	can	cause
disease. Widespread	ignorance	and	failure	to	comprehend	this	fact	are	reasons
that	modern	medicine	harms	the	health	of	our	population. By	studying	thispathway	we	can	identify	and	avoid	potentially	harmful	aspects	of	medicine,
while	still	reaping	the	benefits	of	modern	medical	technology. The	medical	pathway	is	unique,	expressing	itself	through	all	of	the	other
pathways	and	thus,	compromising	health	at	many	levels. In	working	to	optimize
your	personal	health	equation,	you	need	to	be	aware	of	the	ways	in	which
modern	medical	“care”	actually	can	damage	your	health	along	any	of	the	other

There is a healthcare crisis in America that is com pletely under the radar. Almost every family is
affected by it in some way or another. It is associ ated with adrenaline, a hormone that most people
are aware of. It is best known as the “ght-or-igh t’ hormone, which is released in large quantities
whenever we are in danger. It is an extremely power ful hormone, and has signicant physiologic
effects on our body. These episodes
are usually short-lived, and as soon as
the danger passes the adrenaline
levels go back down. Adrenaline Dominance Diet
Page 3However, there is another reason the body
releases adrenaline, and it can occur
throughout the day and night for sustained
periods. The primary function of adrenaline is
to ensure that the brain has a proper amount of
fuel to operate. Anytime a low level of fuel is
detected, the body releases adrenaline which
can have a signicant effect on our health, and
certainly, on the quality of our life. prevent us from falling asleep or

Page 4Weight Gain
So far I have touched on conditions related to exce ss adrenaline that affects millions of lives. However, I have left out a condition that can have a signicant impact on a person’s life, and also
affects millions of people. What I am referring to is weight. Surprisingly, excess adrenaline might be
the number one reason why there are so many people ghting with weight gain. As mentioned
previously, other than preparing the body for dange r, the primary role of adrenaline is to provide sug ar
for the brain. The brain utilizes more sugar per we ight than any other area of the body. When the brain runs out of fuel, people experience a profound sense of sleepiness which is called
hypoglycemia. Classically, this occurs between 3-4 pm when insulin levels are peaking, or after eating,
or when people are in a car either as a driver or a s a passenger. A low level of sugar in the brain
automatically sends an alert to the adrenal glands via the sympathetic nervous system to release
adrenaline. Adrenaline Dominance Diet
Page 5Adrenaline raises sugar levels via a process called  gluconeogenesis, whereby it converts protein into
glucose. The brain can use up fuel in as little as three hours. Understandably, adrenaline levels peak
around 2:30-3:00 am, contributing to insomnia and a n urge to urinate around that time. Adrenaline
can create stress. This stimulates the release of a nother hormone called cortisol which is an anti-
stress hormone. As soon as it is released, it raises glucose levels  via a process called glycogenolysis. As a result, the
body is putting out two hormones that raise sugar –  while people are sleeping (or trying to). When it
comes to sugar, it does not matter whether you are eating it or if the body is making it, if you don’t
burn it up, the sugar is stored as fat in your fat cells. This may be the number one reason why people
are ghting weight. Adrenaline Dominance Diet
Page 6The Adrenaline Dominance Diet
It is important to have the understanding that the primary reason the body is releasing excess
adrenaline is simply to raise glucose levels for


 never the same, even for an instant. If we look deeply,
we see that the mobility of the mind is not continuous like
a stream of water or oil. It is like a series of lightning flash-
es, discontinuous and occurring in rapid succession, which
allows us to put together a continuous image. The mind,
therefore, is impossible to still, though there is a stillness
beyond the mind. Ayurveda and the Mind
Subtle and Sensitive Nature of the Mind
Have you ever tried to control your mind. You quickly
find that the mind is subtle in nature and unpredictable
like the wind. It has force, energy and movement, but it
does not have a particular form. Like the wind, we can
observe the mind more easily through what it moves and
affects, rather than see it directly. The mind, like the wind,
blows the clouds of thoughts and feelings. Yet the mind is
not only like the wind, it is also like space. It encompass-
es and pervades all its contents, like a screen that holds all
the pictures placed upon it. The mind is the most subtle
form of matter. This we will examine in more detail in the
next chapter on the mind and the elements. The mind is very sensitive. It is the very organ of sen-
sitivity underlying all the senses. Everything affects or col-
ors the mind. Everything that we see or feel leaves some
imprint or residue upon it. Hence the mind must be treat-
ed with care, particularly in children. The mind can be
easily hurt, in which case it places barriers around itself
and dulls its sensitivity. The mind is easily affected and
disturbed, excited, depressed or distracted. The mind takes the form of the objects it perceives. Hence it is very difficult to see the mind. When our aware-
ness has withdrawn from the senses, our minds remain
filled with thoughts and feelings. Only when we empty
the mind of thought can we see the mind and recognize its
basic insubstantiality, like a screen that has no meaning
apart from the images projected on it. Dualistic Nature of the Mind
The mind, like all matter, is dualistic in nature. It con-
sists of opposite forces in various degrees of interaction. It
is prone to dualistic reactions of like/dislike, love/hate and The Nature of the Mind
so on. Whatever we chink about also creates its opposite. To assert one thing, we must also suggest the contrary. This is why it is important not to train the mind with
negativity, sin and guilt. For example, if we tell a person
not to think of a monkey, he or she will naturally think of
a monkey. If we tell a person not to do something, we have
first asked them to think about doing it. If we assert the
thought that we are happy, it suggests the idea that we are
sad. Thought always reinforces its opposite. The mind moves between opposites and is prone to
ambivalence or extremes. It can easily become caught in
opposites or become the victim of its own tendency to
reverse itself. For this reason we should not try to force the
mind in any particular direction, but seek to calm it from
any extremes. Difficulty in Controlling the Mind
Because of its volatile, point-like, subtle and dualistic
nature, the mind is hard to grasp and almost impossible to
control. It has a nature and movement of its own, which it
tends to impress upon us or make us vulnerable to. Indeed,
there is nothing more difficult to control than the mind. Human life is nothing but a struggle to learn to control
the mind. If we have accomplished this, we have done
everything and accomplished the most difficult thing in
the entire universe. Inability to control the mind causes
sorrow and is behind the disease process. Mind and Thought
The mind is nothing but thought, which is the process
of the mind. The mind is the entity made up by our
thoughts. Take away the thoughts of the mind and the
mind will disappear. As are our thoughts, so moves our Ayurveda and the Mind
mind, and so we become. Thought fonns are also material
and affect us like small, almost imperceptible, point-like
electrical shocks. Our minds are constantly giving out and
taking in thought forms, which either elevate or depress it. As we become more aware, we learn to consciously project
positive thought forms and avoid those which are negative. Much of healing consists of changing the thought forms
that dominate our lives. We must learn to project
thoughts of peace, love, and harmony to counter those of
conflict, unhappiness and disturbance that weaken our
physical and mental vitality. However, thought is of many types and occurs on many
layers. Only if we change our deepest thoughts can we
really change ourselves and get beyond the limitations of
the mind. This is much more than changing our ideas
about things; it means altering our deepest feelings and
instincts. It requires deep prayer and meditation, pro-
foundly energized and concentrated higher thought forms
to counter deep-seated habits and addictions. A Practical Experiment with the Mind
Examine for yourself the nature of your mind. Take an
object, preferably one in the natural world, like a tree. Direct your attention to it. Note how your attention
changes from instant to instant as you attempt to observe
it. Note how, through a series of shifting perceptions, you
construct the idea or total form of the tree, which you
never perceive all at once. Try to hold your attention on
one point of the tree. Notice how your attention cannot be
held in one place but constantly moves around of its own
accord. As a further experiment, examine your emotions. See
how your mind functions when you are angry or sad. Note The Nature of the Mind
the changing nature of emotions, how the stronger the
emotion, the shorter it is likely to last. See how closely like
and dislike, love and hate are bound together, and how
emotions fluctuate like waves on the sea. Next look at your thoughts. See how one thought fol-
lows another in rapid succession in a compulsive and errat-
ic flow. Examine the habits of your thinking pattern. Note
that much of what you think about has little practical
value, but is merely the mind moving obsessively in its
own memory grooves. Finally examine the ego or "I-thought. " See how this is
the root of the other thoughts and how the mind is basi-
cally self-enclosed in its function. Try not to think the
thought "1. " See that this is not possible. The "I" is the
inherent referential point, the center of the mind. Learn to use your mind like a tool, develop various such
experiments or observations, and, in this way, you will
cease to be the victim of this subtle instrument. Once we
learn to observe the mind, we will cease to be the victims
of what goes on in our minds. Gaining control of our
minds, we will no longer be dominated by the impulses
coming from the senses and the conditioning of the exter-
nal world. We will be able to be who we really are and cre-
ate what is in harmony with the aspirations of our hearts. 5. The Five Elements and the Mind
ave you ever looked at the workings of your
Hmind the way you would observe the world of
Nature around you. According to Ayurveda,
if we want to understand how our mind works, the best
way is to look at how Nature operates. We must see how
wind, fire and rain function in the psyche. We must learn
to observe the storms of emotion, the light or half-light of
reason, and all the rhythms through which not only our
body, but also our mind and senses move. The mind is a
formation of Nature, created according to her marvelous
organic intelligence. The mind has the same basic struc-
ture as the universe and follows the same immutable laws. We live in a multi-level cosmos, including matter, energy,
and mind on parallel and interdependent levels, like a
magnificent crystal or gigantic lotus. Each level helps us
understand the others and, through the outer, we gain the
key to the inner. The five elements are one of the main themes of
Ayurvedic thought, and of related spiritual and healing
systems. They are a great analog for all existence. Most of
us do not think of the mind in terms of the elements, how-
ever. Yet, as a part of Nature, the mind also reflects the
great elements through which Nature functions. To intro-
duce the Ayurvedic view of the mind, we can approach it
according to the elements. Ayurveda and the Mind
Mind and the Elements
The mind transcends all the five gross elements
because, through the mind, we can perceive all the ele-
ments and their interrelationships. We can observe, imag-
ine and contemplate all the forms of earth, water, fire, air
and ether. Yet the elements do provide a key to how the
mind works. Though the elements in the mind are more
subtle than those in the body, they retain the same basic
attributes and actions. We can understand the mental ele-
ments through the analogy of the physical. The mind is a creation primarily of the ether element of
Nature. In substance, the mind is like space — expansive,
open


.” In some of my earlier writing, I
have referred to the wake of a fast moving boat. The wake is the trail that is
left behind and nothing more, just a trail that is in back of the boat. Y ou
don’t need to be a nuclear physicist to understand that the wake does not
drive the boat. Nor does the wake of your life. It is simply the trail that is
left behind. The greatest illusion is the one in which you look into your past (wake) and
put your ener gy on what is there, even if you find it reprehensible, and then
you act upon those thoughts and continue to produce more and more of
what has always been. T o transcend this illusion you must see what it is that
makes it an illusion in the first place. The wake cannot drive the boat. The
wake of your life does not drive you today. But the present moment ener gy
that you put into the events and actions of your past, explaining or excusing
your continuing problems does af fect your life today. That is the source of
those problems, and absolutely nothing more. Just like it is the present
moment ener gy being generated by the engine that makes the boat go
forward. The trail that you’ve left behind cannot drive your life today,
unless you convince yourself that this is the case, and that is why I call it
the greatest illusion. Getting Rid of Y our Personal History
The second factor that keeps us producing those unwanted problems is our
love of wallowing around in the dramas of our past, and using our inner
energy to remind ourselves (and anyone who will listen) of all that
transpired in our stories that created the problems we experience today. No
one said it better or more succinctly than Shakespeare when he reminded
us, “What’ s done is done.”
Recently, a woman approached me in a bookstore while I was autographing
some books for a lar ge floor display. The woman’ s name was Erikka and
she was visiting America. T wo years before, Erikka had heard me speak in
Amsterdam and she related to me how much my words had meant to her in
sustaining her through a series of problems in her life. About a year after
my Amsterdam appearance the biggest bombshell of her life dropped on her
out of the blue. Her husband of twenty-five years informed her that he nolonger loved her, was seeking a divorce, and he was going to marry his
thirty-year -old secretary. Erikka and her husband had four children and he
just summarily moved out of their lives altogether. This came as a complete shock to Erikka and she said the next year was like
being immersed in Dante’ s Inferno. She went into therapy, began taking
antidepressants, couldn’ t eat or sleep, lost over twenty-five pounds, and was
generally dysfunctional. At this point of desperation she had actually flown
to America to look me up in hopes that some of the positive spiritual ener gy
that she had felt at my seminar two years earlier would help to pull her out
of her depression and rage over her ex-husband’ s actions. As she approached me in the bookstore she was filled with excitement
because it appeared to be a coincidence that I was standing there signing
books, and she was actually in America to see if she could locate me. She
hugged me sobbing and pleading with me to please say something to her
that would restore a sense of peace and harmony to her life. I asked her to
take out a piece of paper and to write down something that Carlos
Castaneda’ s teacher, the Nagual Don Juan, had told him about what it takes
to reach the highest level of impeccability. Erikka trembled and jotted down
these words from the mystical teacher to his student. “One day,” he said, “I
finally realized that I no longer needed a personal history, and just like
drinking I gave it up, and that, and only that, has made all the dif ference.”
Erikka left with some hope for finding a spiritual solution. I encouraged her
to realize that all those years with her ex-husband, her rage at his deception,
all of it was in this amorphous, formless world of her thoughts that
constituted a personal history. In reality, she only had now, this present
moment, and that is precisely where God is and only can be. Now. Give up your personal history which is nothing more than low ener gy
thoughts that you carry around about the way things used to be and why
you are upset today because they no longer are that way. Many of your so-
called problems are present today because you are either in the wake and
blaming it for your dif ficulties, or because you are caught up in your
personal history and refuse to give it up. Know in your heart that everything
in your wake and your personal history had to take place in order for you to
be where you are today. And what is my evidence for making such astatement? Everything did take place, period. Rather than curse it, bless it,
and bring love and acceptance to it. Perhaps the best advice I can give you in of fering up a spiritual solution to
this inclination to place your ener gy on what always has been, comes from
Jesus of Nazareth. “No man having put his hand to the plow and looking
back is fit for the Kingdom of Heaven.” So there you have it. Look back
and your life will be hell. Indeed, remind yourself over and over: If I don’ t
have a story, I won’ t have to live up to it. Sending your ener gy to what they want for you. There is no shortage of
folks out there who will let you know how they expect you to think, feel,
and behave. Now suppose that you are filled with deep resentment about
how those people are continually reminding you of their expectations for
you. If you have absorbed this chapter, you realize that despite your
resentment you will continue to attract into your life what they want for
you. This may be a sizable problem for you, but, nevertheless, you will still
attract what you think about, as long as you give ener gy to what they want
for you. The antidote for resolving this so-called problem of your resentment over
having others telling you what you should be is of course a spiritual one. You must learn to increase your ener gy vibrations from the low range of
anger, bitterness, and resentment to the higher ranges of kindness, love, and
forgiveness. The moment that you no longer react with that low ener gy, the
illusion of your problem will disappear. I observed an eighteen-year -old friend of one of our daughters talking to his
mother on the telephone. As he hung up the phone in frustration he said,
“She makes me so angry, she’ s always telling me what to think and where
to go and how to do things.” He was obviously upset and filled with anger. I
told him he had one of two choices. He could either continue to practice
being right, or practice being kind. If you insist on being right you will ar gue, get frustrated, angry, and your
problem will persist with your mom, I explained. If you simply practice
being kind, you can remind yourself that this is your mom, she’ s alwaysbeen that way, she will very likely stay that way, but you are going to send
her love instead of anger when she starts in with her routine. A simple
statement of kindness such as, “That’ s a good point, Mom, I’ll think about
it,” and you have a spiritual solution to your problem. When you need to be right you stay invested in the world of low ener gy. When you practice being kind, you bring a spiritual essence to the presence
of the illusion of a problem and, amazingly, it disappears. I recall a highly evolved spiritual teacher of mine saying to me, “Stop
taking your life so personally.” I was shocked and responded with
something like, “What do you mean by that? This is my life, it’ s very
personal.” He was alluding to the idea that we are not our bodies, our
personalities, or any of our material world possessions. W e are eternal,
spiritual beings disguised as fathers, spouses, managers, proprietors, and
owners. When we know our true divine nature, we stop taking everything
personally, including our own lives. While you may not be ready for my teacher ’s advice (nor am I much of the
time!) I recommend that you stop taking the opinions of others personally. Remind yourself that you are not going to give any ener gy to what they
want for you if it conflicts with what you intend to create for yourself,
unless the ener gy you give is kindness, understanding, and love. By sending love, compassion, and kindness to confront the problems of
anger, resentment, and bitterness as always they simply dematerialize. Why? Because they were illusions to begin with. Because they never
existed except in your mind. Stop taking your life so personally is great
advice, but stop taking other people’ s lives so personally that are directed at
you, is another way of reminding yourself that you are no longer going to
give ener gy to what they want for you. There you have the four most common ways you can employ the folly of
giving ener gy to the things you don’ t believe in. W ork each day at
reminding yourself to halt that mental ener gy when it focuses on what you
don’t want, on the circumstances of your


 cooking fat you will collect from a fairly small
piece. It is wise to use organic animals for this purpose, as fat is a natural
body storage for various toxins. Investing in a small piece of organic fat once
or twice a year will not cost you much and will last for many months. Roast the fat on a fairly low heat (i2o-i30°C) for 2-3 hours depending on
the size of the piece. Pour the fat through the cheese-cloth or a fine metal
sieve. Store in glass jars and refrigerate. Coconut  oil is very good for cooking. It contains largely saturated fats and
hence does not change its chemical structure, when heated. However,
make sure that you buy good quality natural coconut oil, as a lot of brands,
sold in the west have been hydrogenated to increase shelf-life. 5. Main dishes
An Italian meat casserole
This is an alternative way of making an excellent meat stock as well as
preparing a meal for the whole family. You can use any of the following: a
leg or a shoulder of lamb, a joint of pork, a joint of beef, a pheasant, 2-4
pigeons, 2 quails, a joint of venison, a whole chicken, turkey legs. You need
a large casserole with a lid for this dish. Put your meat joint or a whole
bird(s) into the casserole, add water to fill % of the casserole, add some salt,
pepper corns, dried herbs to taste, bay leaves and a sprig of rosemary. Cover with the lid and put into the oven for 5-6 hours on low heat
(125-140°C or 250°F). Add various vegetables 40-50 minutes before your
dinner time into the casserole: rosettes of broccoli and cauliflower, whole
peeled small red or white onions, Brussels sprouts and large pieces of
carrots. When ready take the meat and vegetables out and serve to
your family. Put the meat stock through a sieve and serve it in bouillon
cups with the dinner. Meat stock left from this dinner will keep well in the
refrigerator and can be used for making soups or warming up as a nourish
ing drink. Stuffed peppers
6 large peppers (a combination of green, red, yellow and orange)
7* kg of minced meat (a mixture ofL pork and lL beef is best)
2 medium-size carrots
I large onion
salt and pepper
Grind the carrots and chop the onion. Mix them well together with the
minced meat adding salt and pepper to taste. Cut off the tops of the peppers and take out the seeds. Fill the peppers
with the mixture of the meat and vegetables. Place the stuffed peppers
upright into a pan. You will need the correct size pan to fit all the peppers,
so they stand upright and support each other. Add 3-4 cups of water to the
bottom of the pan and cover it with the lid. Bring up to boil, reduce the heat
to a minimum and simmer for an hour. Serve a pepper per person with a
ladle of the stock from the bottom (best to serve in a soup bowl}. Put a
tablespoon of your home-made yoghurt (if well tolerated) with a clove of
crushed garlic mixed into it. Garnish with chopped parsley. Meatballs
500g of minced meat (a mixture of pork and beef is best)
1 large onion
lh red pepper
1 courgette
2 tablespoons of chopped fresh garlic
1 tablespoon tomato puree
salt, pepper, 2-3 bay leaves
To make the sauce cover the bottom of the pan with water 3-4 cm high. Mix
into the water tomato paste, salt and pepper. Bring to boil. With your hands
shape balls out of the mincemeat about 4 cm in diameter. Put the balls one
at a time into the boiling sauce. Make sure that you use a large enough pan
to fit all the balls in one layer. Cover with the lid and simmer on low heat for
30 minutes. In the meantime prepare the vegetables. Finely chop the onion and red
pepper. Cut the courgette into small cubes. Chop the garlic. After cooking the meatballs for 30 minutes add the chopped onion,
pepper and courgette, mix with the sauce gently in order to preserve the shape of the meatballs. Cover and cook for another 25 minutes. Add the
bay leaves and garlic. Cover and turn the heat off. Let it sit for 10 minutes
before serving. Sprinkle with finely chopped coriander and serve with
cooked vegetables. Meat cutlets
5oog of minced pork
5oog of minced beef or lamb
1 large onion, finely chopped
salt and pepper
Mix all the ingredients well and make oval shaped cutlets. In a frying pan
warm up some pork dripping (goose or duck fat) and fry the cutlets slightly
on both sides. Place the cutlets into a greased baking tray add 7 2 a cup of
water and bake in the oven for 40 minutes at 150-170*0 (300-350 oF). Serve
with cooked vegetables and a salad. Fish cutlets
2-3 fairly large freshwater or sea fish, a mixture of
different fish works very well
3-5 tablespoons of butter (ghee, goose fat, duck fat,
pork dripping or coconut oil)
1-2 cups of shredded coconut
salt and pepper
Cut all the meat off the fish, remove skin and large bones. Use the bones,
heads and skin for making a very nourishing fish stock (recipe in the soup
section). Alternatively you can buy fish fillets already without skin and
large bones. In the food processor put the meat of the fish, one egg, butter, salt and
pepper to your taste and grind it to make mince. If you have a meat mincer
it will do the same job for you. With your hands make oval-shaped flat cut
lets about 2 cm thick, roll them in shredded coconut and slightly fry them
on both sides. Use coconut oil (or butter, ghee, pork dripping, lard, goose
fat or duck fat) for frying. Move the cutlets into a large oven tray, greased
with any of the mentioned fats. Add half a cup of water and put into pre
heated oven. Bake for 20-30 minutes at iso°C (300T). Swedish Gravlax - the best way to eat fresh salmon
skinless and boneless salmon fillet
11 water at room temperature
th tablespoons of salt
1 tablespoon of honey
fresh dill and coarsely ground black pepper
The fish has to be very fresh. Cut the fish into 0.5cm thick slices and place
in a dip tray (any baking tray will do). Sprinkle with finely chopped dill
and black pepper. Dissolve the salt and the honey in the water to make
a brine. Cover the fish with the brine and leave at room temperature for
l-i'A hours. Pour the water out and serve the fish with some lettuce and
mayonnaise. This dish works particularly well with wild salmon. Because the fish is
not cooked all the essential fatty acids and other nutrients are preserved. Refrigerate and consume within two days. Baked beans or French Cassoulet
soog white (navy) beans
1 duck
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons tomato puree
cayenne pepper and black pepper
5-6 bay leaves, a sprig of rosemary, a teaspoon of thyme
Soak the beans in water for 12-24 hours, drain, rinse well in cold water and
drain again. Cut all the meat from the duck: the legs, wings, breasts and all the fat. Cut the meat into chunks and the fat into small pieces. The carcass of the
duck and the giblets you can use for making meat stock later. In a large pan put 2 litres of water, cider vinegar, sea salt, tomato puree, a
pinch of each cayenne pepper and black pepper, bay leaves, rosemary and
thyme. Mix in the beans and the duck pieces (the meat and the fat). Cover
the pan with a lid and put it into an oven. Cook at i2o°C (25o°F) for 4-5
hours. Check occasionally. If the beans are getting dry, add more water. Serve hot. The baked beans left from this meal will keep in the fridge for
a long time and can be served with other dishes. Casserole with turkey legs
2 turkey legs
11 of water
l heaped tablespoon of tomato puree
1 teaspoon of salt
6-io pepper corns
a pinch of cayenne pepper
fresh or dried herbs: oregano, rosemary, bay leaves
a combination of available vegetables: choose from carrots, winter squash,
pumpkin, courgette, marrow, peeled small/medium onions, cauliflower,
broccoli, peppers, aubergine and Brussels sprouts
In a large oval casserole put the water, salt, tomato puree, pepper corns,
cayenne pepper and herbs. Mix well. Put the turkey legs in. Brush the parts
of the turkey legs, which are not covered with the water, with some goose
fat (or duck fat, ghee, pork dripping or lard). Do not cover the casserole
with the lid, leave


 to be stressed, however, that the heating itself always  occurs, irrespective  of the physiological
condition of the person (even whether alive or dead! ), quite unlike the situation with non-thermal effects. It is, of course, this fact that underlies the possibility of using ‘phantom’ heads to determine
SAR values; it should, however, be realised that the reliability of the values so obtained is contingent
on the extent to which the dielectric properties of the synthetic brain fluids used actually approximate
to those in the alive  human brain. On the basis of what little information is available, the differences
could prove to be significant. 89. New Scientist, Editorial, 4th November, 2000. 90. The carrier frequency is taken into account only in so far as it affects the absorbability of the
radiation through size resonance. 91. Cherry, N. ‘Criticism of the Proposal to a dopt ICNIRP Guidelines for New Zealand’, Lincoln
University, N.Z., 1998. 92. A good example of such ‘information’ transfer is the ability of a light flashing at a certain rate
(between 15 to 20Hz) to induce seizures in photosensitive epileptics. It is not so much a question of the amount of energy deposited by the light (which depends on its intensity) that provokes the seizure, but rather the fact that the flash frequency is ‘recognised’ by the brain because it is close to one characterising a particular brain activity - in this case, that associated with seizures. 93.

        The Inadequacy of Existing Safety Guidelines

Existing Safety Guidelines, based solely on consideration of the SAR, afford no protection against the
frequency -specific90 effects that have been the subject of this Study, since they limit only the
intensity  of the microwave radiation sufficiently to ensure that tissue heating by absorption of energy
from the microwaves is not in excess of what can be coped with by the body’s thermoregulatory mechanism, so that temperature homeostasis is not compromised. Furthermore, it must be appreciated that the aliveness of the organism here enters only in so far as it dictates the magnitude of the temperature rise above which adverse health effects set in, the heating itself  occurring
irrespective  of whether the organism is alive or dead. In justifying the exclusion of any non-thermal  input into the formulation of their Safety Guidelines,
ICNIRP  conclude
2:
 …. ‘ Overall, the literature on athermal effects of amplitude modulated electromagnetic fields is so
complex, the validity of the reported effects so poorly established, and the relevance of the effects to human health is so uncertain, that it is impossible to use this body of information as a basis for setting limits on human exposure to these fields. ’

It is to be stressed that this is not equivalent to denying the existence of non-thermal influences of
this kind of radiation, or their potential to provoke adverse health reactions  - as is often
maintained by the Mobile Phone Industry – but simply that in ICNIRP ’s view (because for the
reasons stated) such effects cannot be used as a basis for setting exposure limits. Let us consider each point in turn. As an example of the complexity of athermal ( i. e. non-thermal) effects, the
following statement appears in the paragraph preceding the one from which the above quotation is taken:  …. ‘Interpretation of several observed biological effects (of this kind of radiation) is complicated by
the apparent existence of ‘windows’ of response in both power and frequency domains. There are no accepted models that adequately explain this phenomenon, which challenges the traditional concept of a monotonic relationship between the field intensity and the severity of the resulting biological effects. ’    An absence of such a monotonic (‘dose-response’) relationship is, however, actually to be expected,
since one is dealing with living  organisms whose very aliveness means that they are far from thermal
equilibrium, and hence well beyond the regime where such a m onotonic relationship can be expected
to hold. Being held far from thermal equilibrium, their res ponse to an external electromagnetic field,
for example, necessarily depends on the state of the organism at the time when it is exposed - i.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: What is the main limitation of the existing safety guidelines?,
A: They do not consider the possibility of non-thermal effects and the aliveness of the organism.
Q: What is the main concern about the use of mobile phones?,
A: The potential for adverse health effects, particularly in children and vulnerable populations.
Q: What is the significance of the "window" phenomenon in the context of non-thermal effects?,
A: It highlights the complexity of biological responses to electromagnetic radiation and the need for a more nuanced understanding of the effects on living organisms.
Q: What is the main issue with using SAR as a metric for assessing the safety of mobile phone radiation?,
A: It only addresses thermal effects and does not account for non-thermal influences, which may be more relevant in the case of mobile phone use.
Q: What is the recommendation for reducing the risk of adverse health effects from mobile phone radiation?,
A: Reduce the power density of the radiation to below the threshold values, and consider the use of novel, non-invasive technologies to mitigate the effects.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Clancy Lane Publishing

. The brain is like a receiving set, a switchboard that receives thought
forms and then translates them into neuronal functioning and memory
storage. For instance, until recently it was believed that voluntary
movements of the muscles originated in the brain’ s motor cortex. But now,
as Eccles has reported, the intention to move is recorded by the
supplemental motor area of the brain next to the motor cortex. The brain is,
therefore, activated by the mind’ s intention and not vice versa. W e see this in the many brain-imaging studies done on people in states
of meditation. For example, Dr. Richard Davidson’ s research during the last
decade at the University of W isconsin (Madison) has demonstrated that
compassion and loving-kindness meditation practices stimulated increased
activity in the left prefrontal cortex (the seat of positive emotions such as
happiness) and the production of high amplitude gamma wave synchrony
(sign of expanded awareness, alertness, and insight). What is held in mind
has the power to alter brain activity and neuroanatomy. W e are subject to all kinds of ef fects of the unconscious and conscious
beliefs that our mind is holding on all of our bodily systems. This includes
our beliefs about the supposed ef fects of various foods, aller gens,
menopausal and menstrual disorders, infections and all other diseases thatare associated with specific belief systems, coupled with the underlying
stress proneness due to the presence of suppressed negative feelings. Norman Cousins, editor -in-chief of the Satur day Review  for three
decades, demonstrated this principle when he cured himself of serious
physical illness by means of laughter. He wrote Anatomy of an Illness,  a
book about his experience of recovery from a crippling arthritic disease
through heavy doses of V itamin C and belly-laughter induced by films
featuring the Marx brothers. He discovered that laughter had an anesthetic
ef fect that could alleviate his pain for two hours. Laughing is a method of
letting go. Through laughter, Cousins just kept letting go of the underlying
emotional pressure and cancelling negative thoughts. This resulted in very
positive and beneficial changes within his body and facilitated his eventual
recovery. Disease-Pr one Beliefs
T o ascertain our own disease proneness, we can look at the following
questions:
Do I worry about my health, holding fear thoughts in mind about what
might happen to me. Do I get a secret feeling of fear, excitement, and danger when I hear about a
new disease that is currently being reported and in vogue. Do I spend time on constant checkups, reading about diseases, getting
frightened by TV stories about them. Am I interested in hearing about the diseases of famous people. Do I believe that the environment and foods are full of hidden dangers, or
that foods contain additives which are poisonous and will cause disease. Do I believe that certain diseases “run in our family”. Do I stop or want to stop (but don’ t dare) to witness auto accident victims. Do I like hospital TV programs. Do I like TV programs that include hitting, shouting, fist fights, killing,
torture, crime, and other forms of violence. Am I a guilt-ridden person. Am I holding a lot of anger. Do I condemn other peoples’ behavior. Am I prone to be judgmental. Do I hold resentments and grudges. Do I feel trapped and hopeless. Do I say of myself, “Whatever is going around, I’ll probably catch it”. Am I concerned with acquisitions and status symbols instead of the quality
of relationships. Do I carry a lot of insurance and still worry that it’ s not enough. In summary, the way to change our bodies is to change our thoughts
and feelings. W e must let go of negative thoughts and belief systems and
shed the stress of negative emotions that give them ener gy. W e have to
cancel the negative programming that comes from the world, as well as our
own belief systems. W e can see the deleterious ef fects of fearful negative programming in
people who become subject to fear of foods, chemicals, and substances in
the environment. Each day a new chemical or substance is announced to
have harmful ef fects. The more fearful we are, the more quickly we become
programmed, and then the body responds accordingly. Fear of substances,
foods, air, ener gies, and stimuli of all kinds has gotten to the point where
there is almost an environmental paranoia. Some people become so phobic
about the environment and everything in it that their world gets smaller and
smaller. They become more fearful every day. Some people even succumb
to the point where they flee the world and live in artificial bubble
enclosures, victims of their own minds. This can happen to a reasonable person, even to a physician. It started
with pollens, ragweed, horse dander, dog and cat hair, dust, feathers, wool,chocolate, cheese, and nuts (all believed to cause aller gies). Later, sugar
was added (hyper glycemia) plus food additives (cancer), eggs and dairy
products (cholesterol), and or gan meats (gout). Next on the “harmful” list
came food dyes, saccharine, caf feine, coloring matter, aluminum, synthetic
fabrics, noise, fluorescent lights, insect sprays, deodorants, food cooked at
high temperature, minerals in the water, chlorine in the water, nicotine,
cigarette smoke, petrochemicals, car exhaust fumes, positive ions, low level
electric vibrations, acidic foods, pesticides, and foods with seeds. The world shrank so small that there was nothing safe to eat. Nothing
could be worn. There was no air to breathe. The body had all the aller gies,
reactions, and diseases to prove it. Going out to dinner became an
enjoyment of the past, since there was nothing on the menu that could be
eaten, except lettuce (thoroughly washed, of course), and it was imperative
to wear white gloves when picking up restaurant utensils. Then, with the learning of one core truth, the whole pattern unraveled. “What is held in mind tends to manifest”—including unconscious  beliefs. The culprit was not the world but the mind. All of the negative
programming and fearful conditioning was in the mind, and the body
obeyed the mind. This law of consciousness reversed the spiraling paranoia. As each internal belief was looked at and surrendered, all of the negative
bodily reactions, diseases, and symptoms disappeared. In other words, it
was not poison ivy leaves that caused an aller gic reaction but the mind’ s
belief that poison ivy was an aller gen. As the mind let go of its
programming, the body’ s reactions cleared. On kinesiologic testing, there was a complete reversal of the reaction
patterns. What had formerly produced a weak muscle response no longer
had any ef fect. The overall stress proneness level obviously became much
lower, to the point that the body failed to react at all to what would,
otherwise, be considered negative stimuli (e.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: What is the purpose of the state of inner stillness?,
A: The purpose of inner stillness is to counteract the negativity of the city and the personality, as well as to balance the lower and higher energy centers in the body.
Q: What is the relationship between stress and disease, according to the text?,
A: The text states that stress arises from within, as a response to suppressed and repressed emotions, and that the body responds to the mind. It also states that stress can lead to disease and that the elimination of negative thoughts and feelings can reverse the process.
Q: What is the significance of the thymus gland in the context of the text?,
A: The thymus gland plays a crucial role in the body's response to stress, as it regulates the flow of bio-energetic patterns.
Q: What is the key to changing one's life and achieving a state of peace and freedom?,
A: The key is to let go of negative thoughts and feelings, and to surrender to one's true nature. This is achieved through the mechanism of surrender, which allows for the release of suppressed emotions and the shift to a higher level of consciousness.
Q: How does the text describe the relationship between the mind and the body?,
A: The text states that the mind controls the brain, which acts as a receiving station for thought patterns, and that the body responds to the mind's beliefs.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Understanding the process involved here is very
important, because it is quite dif ferent than the world’ s usual methods. The
approach that brings fast and easy results is the following: Don’ t look for
answers; instead, let go of the feelings behind the question. When we are
surrendered on the feeling behind the question, we can let go of any other
feelings that we might also have about what seems to be the problem. When
we are finally and fully surrendered on all components, the answer will be
there waiting for us. W e won’ t have to look for it. Consider how simple and
easy this is as compared to the mind’ s usual long, drawn-out, inef ficient
attempts at problem solving. Usually the mind hunts and pecks endlessly,
fumbling around with first this possible answer and then that one. The
reason the mind can’ t decide is because it is looking in the wrong place. Let’ s see how the system works with a common everyday example. Let’ s say that we disagree with our mate on which


 , then on the s ubject of travel, you are feeling disappointment. Feeling disappointment means you're on the disappointment frequency, and you
will continue to receive disappointing circumstances in which you cannot travel,
until yo u chan ge the way y ou feel. The force of love will  move everycircumstance fo r you to travel,  but you have to be on one of the good feeling
frequencies to receive it. When y ou chan ge the way you  feel about a situation, you are giving a dif ferent
feeling, you're on a dif ferent feeling frequency, and the situation must change to
mirror your new frequency. If s omething negative has happene d in your life, you
can change it. I t is never too late, because you can always ch ange the way you
feel. T o receive what you would love, t o change anything into what you would
love, no matter what the subject, all it takes is changing the way you feel! "If you want to f ind the secr ets of the Universe, think in terms of ener gy, fr equency,
and vibration." (Nikola T esla 1856-1943)
T ake Y our Feelings Off Automatic Pilot
Many people don't know about the power of good feelings, an d so their feelings
are reactions or responses to wh at happens to them. They have put their feelings
on autom atic pil ot, instead of de liberately taking char ge of them. When something
good ha ppens, t hey feel good. W hen something bad happens, they feel bad. They
don't realize that their feelings a re the cause of what is happening to them. As they
react with negative feelings to something that has happened, they give out more
negative feelings, and the y receive back more negative circumstances. They
become trapped  in a cycle by their own feelings. Their life goes around and
around in circles not getting an ywhere, like a hamster on a wheel, because they
don't realize that to change their life, they must change their feeling frequency! "It's not what happens to you, but how you r eact to it that matters." (Epictatus)
If yo u don't have enough money, naturally you don't.. fee l good abou t money, but
the money in your life will never change while you don't feel good about it. If you
give out negative feelings about money, you're on a negative frequency about
money and you will receive back negative circumstances such as big bills or
things b reaking down, which are all circumstances that drain yo u of money. When
you react with negative feelings to a big bill, you give out more negative feelings
about money, which bring even more negative circumstances to you that drain you
of more money. Every si ngle second is an opportunity to change your life, because in any moment
you can change the way you feel. It doesn't matter what you have felt before. It
doesn't m atter w hat mistakes you think you may hav e made. When you chan ge the
way you feel, you are on a dif ferent frequency, and the law of attraction respondsinstantaneously! When you chan ge the way you feel, the  past has gone! When yo u
change the way you feel, your life changes. "Do not  waste one moment in r egr et, for to think feelingly of t he mistakes of the
past is to r e-infect yourself" (Neville Goddar d 1905-1972)No Excuses for the For ce of Love
If yo ur life is not filled with eve rything you love, it doesn't m ean you're not
a good and lovi ng person. The life purpose for each of us is to overcome
negativity by choosing love. Th e problem is that mos t people love and then
stop lov ing hundreds of times i n a day. They don't give love l ong enough
for t he f orce of love to move all  the good things into their life. T hink about
it: one moment you give love thro ugh a warm hug with a loved one, and
then you  stop giving love with in minutes when you get annoyed because
you can't find your keys or you're delayed in traf fic  or you can't find a
parking space. Y ou give love when you laugh w ith a work colleague, a nd
then sto p when you get disappointed because the local lunch place has run
out of something you want. Y ou give love as you look forward to the
weekend, and then you stop when you receive your bills. And so it
continues all through the day; y ou give love and you stop giving love, give
love and stop gi ving love, give l ove and stop giving love, from one moment
to the next. Y ou are either giving love and harnessing the force of love, or  you're not. Y ou can't harness the force of love with an excuse about why you didn't
love. Ex cuses an d justifying why you didn't love just add more n egativity to
your life. When you give an excuse as to w hy y ou didn 't love, you're fe eling
the same negativity again, and so you're giving out more of it! "Holding on to a nger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of thr owing
it at someone else; you ar e the one getting burned." (Buddha 563-483 BC)
If you get annoy ed because there was a mix-up in an a ppointment,  and you
blame the other person for the mix-up, you are using blame as your excuse
not to give love. But the law of attraction only receives what you are giving,
so if you're giving blame, you must rec eive cir cumstances of blame back in
your life. It won 't necessarily come back to you from the person you were
blaming, but most assuredly y ou will receive a circumstance of blame. There are no excuses for the force of love. Y ou get what you give period. Every Little Thing Is IncludedBlame, criticism, finding fault, and com plaining are all forms o f negativity. All of them bring so much str ife. W ith every little complaint and every
moment you criticize anything, you are giving negativity. Complaints about
the weather, traf fic, the govern ment, your partner, children, parents, long
lines, the economy, food, your body, your work, customers, businesses,
prices, n oise, or service seem like small harmless things, but they bring
back with them a whole host of negativity. Throw o ut of your vocabulary w ords like terrible, horrible, disgusting, and
awful, because when you say those words, they come with strong feelings. When y ou say them they must return to you, which means you  are putting
those labels on your life! Don't you think it would be a good idea to use
more words like fantastic, amazing, fabulous, brilliant, and wonderful. Y ou can have w hatever you love and want, b ut you have to harmoni ze with
love, an d that means there are n o excuses for not giving love. Excuses and
justifications pr event you from receiving everything you want. They
prevent you from having an amazing life. "All that we sen d into the lives of others comes back into our ow n." (Edwin
Markham)
Y ou don't make a connection when you complain to a store person and then
a few hours later you receive a call from your neighbor complaining that
your dog is bark ing. Y ou don't make a connection when you meet a friend
for l unch and talk negatively about a mutual friend and you ar rive back at
work to discove r big problems have developed with your major  client. Y ou
don't make a connection when your dinner conversation is about something
negative in the news and that night you can't sleep because of an upset
stomach. Y ou don't make a co nnection when you stop to help someone w ho has
dropped someth ing in the stree t and ten minutes later you get a parking
space right outside the supermarket door. Y ou don't make a connection
when yo u happi ly help your ch ild with their homework and t he next day
you receive news tha t your tax refund will be bigge r than you thought. Y ou
don't make a connection when you do a favor fo r a friend and, that sam e
week, your boss gives you two complimentary tickets to a sports game. Inevery circumstance and moment of your life you are receiving what you
have given, whether you make the connection or not. The T ipping Point
If yo u g ive mor e than 50 perce nt positive thoughts and feelings instead of
negative, you have reached a tipping point. Ev en if you just give 51 percent
good tho ughts and good feelings, you have tipped the scales of your life! And here's the reason why. When y ou give love, it not  only comes back to you as positive
circumstances th at you love, bu t as it comes back, it adds even more love
and pos itivity to your ljfe! The  new positivity then attracts more positive
things, adding even more love and positjvity to your life, and so it
continues. Every thing is magnetic, and when something good comes to you,
it magnetkally attracts more good things. Y
