oved, itceases, we
canunderstand thatitispossible forustobecome able toenjoy anywholesome food. It
amazes those who are“aller gic” tostrawberries, forexample, toseenotrouble develop
if they are placed on a strawberry diet.
When fruit iseaten with ameal ofbread, flesh, potatoes, butter andtherestofthe
usual meal, thefruit usually being taken attheendofthemeal, butoften atthebegin-
ning, theindigestion anddiscomfort thatresult from such combining offoods will al-
most certainly beblamed onthefruit, which may betheonly wholesome article ofdiet
inthemeal. The discomforts following such ameal may range alltheway from alit-
tlegasformation thatscarcely attracts theattention oftheeater,toapainful indigestion
accompanied with nausea, vomiting anddiarrhea. The fruit, kept away from theother
foods, and eaten as a fruit meal will digest easily and result in no discomfort.
Fruits thatarepeeled andsliced andpermitted tostand forlong periods oftime be-
fore eating arehardly wholesome foods. They change color,lose flavor,under gooxi-
dation with resulting lossoffood value andtend todecompose readily.Fruits added to
breads, cakes, pies andvarious other kinds ofpastires canalso occasion considerable
indigestion anddistress. Inthislatter case, notonly isthefood spoiled inpreparation
andcooking, butthecombination isindigestible. Fresh fruits, with cleaning astheon-
lypreparation, aremost easily digested. Theaddition ofsugar,syrups, honey andother
sweeteners to fruits can also result in indigestion and discomforts.
Fruits have fallen intodisrepute with many people forthereason thatthey find that
they sufferwith discomfort after eating them. ItwasDr.Dewey who said thatfruits de-
moralize digestion. Hewasespecially opposed toeating apples. This trouble with fruits
grows outofthepractice ofwrongly combining them. Strawberries andmelons arecom-
monly singled outasfruits that“Iamallergicto,”andthese foods arewholesome and
toothsome. Iftaken alone asinthecase ofmelons, orproperly combined asinthecase
ofstrawberries, they almost never cause anytrouble. Skin rashes andintestinal distur-
bances thatoften follow theeatings offruit orthatfollow aparticular fruit may,almost
always, betraced towrong combining. Inthefewcases where thisisnotso,acorrection
oftheway oflife,sothatnormal digestive power isreestablished, soon enables thein-dividual toeatfruit. Idonotthink thatthere isanyone who cannot eatfreely offruits if
due care is taken in combining them.
Article #2: Fruit: Best Food Of All by William L. Esser
Ofallthefoods thatwecaneat,fruits arethebest inevery respect. They areobjects
which enchant theeye, delight thesmell andthrill thenormal taste beyond thesensation
incited byanyother food. Initself, fruit isperfect. Itrequires nopreparation ofanykind
other than cleansing, coring orpeeling. Cooking, seasonings, additions andsubstractions
make it less, not more palatable.
Beyond itsappeal tothesenses, itpossesses most oftheessential proteins, minerals
andvitamins necessary formaintaining health atitshighest level. Obtained inlarge
enough variety,fruits (with theaddition ofnuts which arealso fruits) would beample
for the maintenance of ideal health.
Many facts indicate thathumans were originally frugivorous orfruit-eating animals,
notomnivorous aswearepresently.That humans have strayed from their natural dietfor
thepast fewthousand years does notmean thatorgans have changed soastobesuited
totheprevailing diet. Thechanges thathave occurred aretheweakening, softening and
degeneration ofacreature oftruegrandeur.Ifanychange hasoccured, itisthatwehave
become diseased creatures. Wehave lostourphysiological excellence. Forthisreason, it
ismore important thatweadhere more closely toournatural diet. Theruinous habits of
eating must bedispensed with entirely.Only pathology hasresulted from ourunnatural
dietary.
Fruits constitute ourideal dietandshould comprise most ofitsbulk. Vegetables, nuts
andseeds canbeadded with great benefit when therules forfood combining areob-
served. Itisnever thefault ofthefruit. Fruit should beripeateating time. Overly-ripe
fruits should beshunned. Fruit ismost luscious andatthepeak ofperfection when itis
plucked from tree, stalk orvine inajust-ripened condition. Nostore-bought fruit can
approach freshly-picked fruit for quality or flavor.
Whenever possible, fresh fruit should bebought from thegrower,rather than atthe
market which obtains much ofitsstock from storage houses. Those living incolder cli-
mates have little choice during winter time, however.Much care must beexercised in
selecting the best available.
Ability tojudge various fruits inthemarket todetermine their fitness isanaccom-
plishment which canonly come with experience. Most fruits, regardless ofwhether they
belong totheacid, sub-acid orsweet classification, possess anelating sweetness andfla-
vorwhen they areripe. Experience willteach youtojudge agood apple among awhole
bushel ofinferior ones atasingle glance. Care must betaken toavoid fruits which have
been damaged byfrost, blight, rotoranyother similar influence. Fruits today aresprayed
excessively against insects andbefore they areeaten, they should becarefully washed
and brushed, in order to eliminate the poison from them.
Some unripe fruits contain starch andvarious other carbohydrate substances which
aredistasteful andunwholesome. Ontheother hand, decay setsinonover-ripe fruits,
andthesugars arechanged tocarbon dioxide, alcohol, acetic acid andother harmful
by-products. Over -ripe fruits deteriorate rapidly intheir nutritive values. These changes,
plus thelossofwater,account forthesponginess andinsipidness offruit which hasbeen
stored for long periods of time.
Fruit ispotentially alkaline. Alkalinity occurs after ithaspassed through theprocess-
esofdigestion. Ifthefruit isofpoor quality,improperly combined orthedigestion is
weak, itoften remains inanacid anditsabsorption creates many unpleasant symptoms
such asnervousness, sleeplessness, frequent urinating from bladder irritation, intestinal
gases, mucus inthestools, throat irritation, etc.Most ofthetime, however,thesymptoms
which follow theeating offruit arenotthefault ofthefruit, butofimpaired digestive
faculties. There arethose who will eruct andexperience flatulence anddistress inthebowels regardless ofwhat they eat.People soaffected areillandshould putastop to
eating until their digestive system hasrecovered itspowers. Fruits should notbehap-
hazardly mixed with other foods, oreven other fruits! Even thebest digestion cannot
successfully cope with indiscrimate andchemically-incompatible mixtures. Agood pol-
icy is not to eat more than one or two kinds of fruit at a single meal.
Fruits canbedivided intothree classifications: sweet, sub-acid andacid. Sweet fruits
canbecombined tolerably well with sub-acid fruits butshould notbeasamatter of
practice. Butthecombining ofsweet fruit with acid fruit canprove quite distressful. For
example mixing bananas andgrapefruit ordates andoranges isworse than noteating
anything. Thebest plan incombining fruits istomixonly fruits ofthesame classifica-
tion. Forexample bananas, dates, figsandraisins aresweet fruits. Apples, pears, most
grapes, mangos andpapayas areamong thesub-acid fruits. Berries, cherries, peaches,
pineapples, etc., are among the acid fruits.
Melons ofallkinds should betreated asafruit category inthemselves andshould
beeaten alone. Nuts may beeaten after theendofafruit meal, preferably after afruit
meal ofacid fruits. Lettuce andcelery may bebeneficially added tofruit meals insmall
quantities.
Aswith anyfood, chewing plays avital part inthethorough digestion offruits.
Every particle should besystematically liquified, thereby insuring absorption andassim-
ilation. This isdoubly important when yourealize thatmost fruits under gonodigestion
inthestomach. Theswallowing ofcarelessly-chewed food isamajor reason why food
liesinthestomach andferments. The digestive juices areunable tobreak down large
pieces offood andbacterial decay setsin.Drinking aglass oforange juice oranyother
fruit juice inoneortwogulps does more harm than good. Itshould besipped slowly and
tasted, ifeaten atall,not


oted thatgrains, because oftheir storage capabilities andoth-
erconsiderations, have formed amajor partoftheworld’ sdietformany different pop-
ulations. Grains, intheir whole form, arenotbeing degraded asanunsuitable food for
man—but they arenotoptimum foods. Aslong asfresh fruits, vegetables, nuts andseeds
are available, grains can be eliminated from the diet forever.
Withareorientation ofagriculture from themono-grain crops tothemore productive
treecrops (fruits andnuts), theworld’ spopulation could bebetter nourished inamore
ecological fashion.
31.1.18 Other Refined Grain Products
Although most grain consumed inAmerica isintheform ofbreads orcereals, other
products areused inlargeamounts. White rice isgenerally polished whole rice. This
polishing strips away many oftheBvitamins andsome oftheprotein—about thesame
thing thathappens torefined wheat. White riceisanutritionally unbalanced food and
should never be eaten.
Corn meal may also bedegermed (refined) andthen subsequently “enriched” just
likethewhite flour from wheat grain. Eating such refined corn meal wasoneofthecaus-
esofpellagra intheSouth, orsoitwasspeculated many years ago. Refined corn also
causes a B vitamin depletion in the body, the same as refined wheat flour.
Pasta such asmacaroni, spaghetti, noodles, etc.areusually made from semolina
which is a refined white flour made from wheat. It, too, is like eating “white bread.”
Ofcourse, allsuch pastries like cookies, cakes, pies, doughnuts, andother such
desserts are made with both refined flour and refined sugar and are “double-trouble.”
Forimproved health, allsuch flour products, whether made from white flour or
whole-wheat flour orwhatever,should beeliminated from thediet. Once agrain ismade
into flour,rapid deterioration ofthefood starts, regardless oftheamount ofanyaddi-
tional refining or processing.
31.2. Questions & Answers
Areyoutelling methat Ishould never eatanother slice ofbread? Ialways eatbread
with about every meal. What could be wrong with that?
Whether ornotyoueatbread, oranyfood, issomething only youcandecide.
Weonly trytopresent facts upon which youcanbase arational decision. Most peo-
pleeatfoods without knowing thetrue nature ofthefood itself. Bread isagood
example ofthis. Bread hasbeen onthetable forhundreds ofyears. Itisafamiliar
food, so much that we frequently confuse its familarity with its necessity.Most bread eaten today bears noresemblance tothebread ofthepast. You’re
eating aslice offortified chemicals inaplastic, pasty form. This includes most
whole wheat and other “or ganic” breads sold today as well as white bread.
Even ifyoucanget“good” bread ormake your own, bread isnotarecommend-
edfood. Foronething, asyouyourself said, people tend toeatitwith every meal
andallsorts offoods. Bread isavery starchy food, andifitiseaten atall,itshould
only be consumed with leafy green vegetables and little else.
There arebetter ways toeatgrains, ifyouwan! them, instead ofinbread orany
flour products. Once yougrind grains intoflour,you’ve begun thetotal destruction
of a food that was not optimum to begin with.
Ofcourse, we’re not“telling” youtodoanyonething ortheother,norarewe
saying something is“wrong” or“right.” Weonly wish topresent thefacts, aswe
currently understand them, about grains andgrain products. Youaretoevaluate that
information, and make your own decision as you see it for better health.
Most people intheworld make grains amajor part oftheir diet. Japan hasrice,
Mexico has corn, Europe uses wheat. Are you saying all these people are wrong?
Again, itisnotamatter ofright orwrong. When foods areinshort supply,such
asfresh fruits andvegetables, grains have served asasubstitute foroptimum nu-
trition. Weshould notallow asubstitute tobecome astandard simply because it
iswidely used. Then, too,remember adistinction ismade between whole grains
andrefined grains. Ifallthese people hadeaten refined grain products forallthese
years, I doubt if there would be many people left in the world today.
InAmerica, Argentina, andNew Zealand, forexample, meat-eating ismore
widespread than grain eating. Dosheer numbers make apractice advisable ornot?
We’re notplaying anumbers game with nutrition—good health anddiets arenot
dictated by majority rule.
Mychildren justwon’t eatanything except cereals forbreakfast. When Itryto
give them something elsetoeat,they become cranky and cryand refuse toeatit.
What should I do?
There have been very few incidents where children immediately drop dead
when notfedbreakfast. Ifyour children refuse toeatahealthy breakfast (usually
fresh fruits), then serve them nothing atall.Better togowithout food than toeatthe
sugared, chemical mess that is disguised as food in cereal boxes.
Thefactthatthechildren complain, whine andcryshould indicate toyouthat
they have become “addicted” tothesugar inthecereals. When their blood-sugar
renormalizes andthey kick thecereal habit, they will welcome wholesome foods
such as bananas or grapes or melon for breakfast.
What’s worse—white flour or white sugar?
Aninteresting question. Ihope you’re notconsidering eating thelessharmful
ofthetwo! Actually,youoften find these twoitems used together infoods—like
incakes, pies, doughnuts, cookies, pastries, andsoon.The sugar rotsyour teeth
anddestroys your nerves while thewhite flour constipates youandgives youan
acid stomach. Iknow offewwhite foods thatexist innature. White sugar,white
flour,salt, cocaine, heroin, refined fructose—all thewhite powdery,grainy “foods”
aredrugs andpoisons. Mushrooms Isuppose areoneofthefewnatural “white”
foods—but even these areoften poisonous andsubstandard foods forhumans. So
ifyour food doesn’ thave attractive colors (like yellow,red,green, etc.), youshould
probably avoid it(this would ofcourse mean noteating black, grey andbrowned
meats).Article #1: Pure Starch Factors By Thomas E. Scown
High ener gy potential
Artificial Flavorings
There areanumber of“foods” which may beclassified aspure starch: bleached
flour,degerminated corn meal, corn-starch, white rice, “instant mashed potato” powder,
dextrose, etc.When these refined starches areintroduced intothebody,ahigh percent-
ageofthestarch isquickly broken down intosimple sugars. Thesudden flood ofsugar
into thebloodstream stimulates thepancreas toproduce anexcess ofinsulin. The in-
sulin rapidly burns thesugar,causing theblood-sugar level todrop farbelow normal. A
prolonged state oflowblood-sugar hasbeen known tocause brain damage. Even short
periods oflowblood-sugar may cause trembling ofthehands, temporary lossofvisual
control, alternating spasm andweakness inthemuscles over thewhole body,andmany
other ef fects.
Unfortunately,most people inthe“highly advanced” nations areeating anever-in-
creasing proportion offoods composed primarily ofpure-starch, sugar,salt, andplastic
fat.
High energy potential
Many people have read ofexplosions incoal mines (from coal dust), buthow many
people have heard about explosions inflour mills? Many millworkers have discovered,
thehard way,thatonepound ofwhite flour (suspended inair)hasmore explosive po-
tential than onepound ofT.N.T.Theignition factor may beaspark from thebrushes of
an electric motor.
Over thepastonehundred years, dozens offlour mills have been blasted tobits, each
of them destroyed by less white flour than the average American eats in one year.
The explosive potential ofrefined white flour indicates itschemical nature. Itisa
highly reactive chemical mixture when certain factors are added.
The human body hashundreds ofchemicals involved intheactofliving. Add to
thisthehighly reactive chemical mixcommonly called “white flour” andallmanner of
physical derangements will occur.
Artificial Flavorings
Such as used in icings and fillings for doughnuts, cookies, and cakes.
One flavoring product, labeled Imitation Strawberry,listed thefollowing ingredi-
ents: Vanillin andother aldehydes, ethyl butyrate andother esters, oillemon andother
essential oils, Butyric andother organic acids, benzodi-hydropyrone, ionone andother
ketones, alcohol, propylene glycol, water, artificial color and 0.1% benzoate of soda.
This chemical concoction isonly theflavoring; there isalsoadditional artificial col-
oring added

will lose much weight onanallrawdiet. This isgenerally true, butonly intheearly
stages astheimpurities intheblood andcells leave. After thehousecleaning hasbeen
well taken care of,thelostweight isusually regained inshort order.John Richter,au-
thor ofNatur e—The Healer,found thistobetrue. Infact, likemost people, hefirst lost
considerable weight andthen regained allhehadlostplus afewadditional pounds. In
theprocess, heregained hishealth, reporting inat84years ofagetobetotally without
aches and pains of any kind.
Earlier inthiscentury awrestler,bythename ofGeor geHackenschmidt known as
theRussian Lion, toured theworld competing with allthegreat ironmen oftheday.He
successfully threw allwho dared totesthisstrength andskill. According toDr.Geor ge
R. Clements, his diet consisted of the following:
Breakfast: lettuce and 5 or 6 Brazil nuts.
Second Meal: fresh raw fruits
Third Meal: fresh uncooked vegetables.
Dr.Robert, who eats only very occasionally ofanycooked food, went from 212
pounds down toabout 108pounds andthen began toaddonweight until hereached
about 128pounds, where hehasremained now formany years. Wemight point outthat
thenew flesh gained isgood firm, much-healthier flesh, andtheweight obtained willbe
inkeeping with body structure. Onahygienic regimen complete inallparticulars, in-
cluding atotally rawfood intake, both theobese andtheunderweight tend toreturn toa
healthy weight, normal for them.
Enzymes arethelifeprinciple andwhen they arelacking, their absence willsoon be
felt.When ourfood isvital, ourbodies respond andwealsobecome more vital. Thede-
struction ofenzymes bytheapplication ofheat may result intoxicosis anddigestion is
thus delayed orincomplete. Inanyevent, wehave long known thatanimals fedsolely on
adietconsisting ofcooked food soon sicken anddiewhile those fedtheir natural food
anduncooked, thrive generation after generation. Itmay bewell thattheunique talent
ofenzymes tocatalyze chemical reactions atlowtemperatures serves toconserve bodyenergy andtime notonly inthecells butalso inthedigestive tract itself. Certainly the
enzymes servicing the alimentary canal act in this capacity.
43.2.11 Cooking and Proteins
Every step taken toprepare foods forcooking andalso theactual cooking process
itself produces changes inthenutritive value ofthefood. Protein content andvalue isno
exception for it, too, is af fected profoundly by the application of heat.
Asthestudent hasalready learned, theprotein molecules arevery complex, socom-
plex thatthey areknown as“macromolecules.” When these macromolecules aresubject-
edtoheat, they arechemically changed, becoming lessdigestible inmost instances. Egg
white isanexception. Thealbumin ineggwhite isindigestible rawandquite indigestible
when completely hardened asinhard boiled eggs. However,when slightly curdled asin
poached and very softly boiled eggs, the egg white is most digestible.
Meat protein under goes important changes beginning atabout 147degrees insome
instances aswith fish, forexample. Ifoneisfrying fish, onecanobserve a“leakage”
offluid begin atjustabout thattemperature and, bythetime atemperature of151de-
grees Fahrenheit hasbeen reached, thepanwillevidence considerable fluid initandthe
texture ofthefishwillhave changed having become quite dryandalso lessdigestible,
theprotein having been coagulated andrendered lesssoluble, thewater having been re-
moved by the increased temperatures.
Beef and lamb are more easily digested raw than when cooked.
Withthese twomeats theprotein starts toharden attemperatures above about 150
degrees andat160degrees hasbeen hardened. One time wewere theonly passengers
onboard aDutch freighter which wehadboarded intheharbor atMarseilles foratrip
across theAtlantic where wewere tostudy eating habits among theisland people inthe
Caribbean. Weatewith thecaptain andofficers andobserved thatthemeats served were
cooked only toadepth ofabout one-quarter inch with therestofthemeat, usually beef,
oozing blood. Many cultures inEurope wefound eatlightly ofmeat, serving itmainly in
very small portions andwell cooked, asinvarious stews, buttheDutch, apparently like
their meat inlargequantities andalmost uncooked. Theonly meats weobserved being
well cooked on that voyage were bacon and sausage.
Ifoneexamines atypical protein molecule asmight befound inanimal protein, one
canobserve various NH3 groupings, theNindicating nitrogen, theH,hydrogen. These
areknown asamines. Incooking andespecially inthepresence ofwater,these amines
arereplaced byanhydroxyl grouping, thatisbyanOHgroup, theObeing thesymbol
foroxygen. These OHgroupings cannot again bereplaced byNH3 byanymechanisms
present inthehuman body.This iswhy thecooked protein becomes useless. Insome
methods ofcooking, itisbelieved thatcertain amine groups areactually split offeven
though no water is used in the cooking.
Certain proteins contain sulphur intheir molecules. Inthepresence ofwater,this
sulphur canalso besplit off.Cystine, animportant amino acid which contains some 27
percent sulphur,isatypical example. Sulphur isfound inallmembers ofthecabbage
family anditplays animportant role inthehuman body asadisinfecting agent. The
student will observe thatincooking members ofthecabbage family,onecanoften be
aware ofthesmell ofsulphur asgases leave thecooking utensil. What isleftisaninor-
ganic molecule made upofinorganic atoms, which areuseless totheeconomy.Cystine
isanimportant element intheformation ofredblood corpuscles butnotadesulphurized
changed cystine, but the whole or ganic molecule.
The vital factors, thecomplete amino acids, aredestroyed andrendered useless as
food factors totheprecise extent thatthey aredestroyed bytheheating process. Methio-
nine, another important sulphur -containing amino acid, issimilarly affected bycooking.
This amino acid isanimportant constituent ofthebody serum, ofhemoglobin andof
tissues. Wecanseehow cooking such methionine-containing foods asBrussels sprouts,cabbage, cauliflower,kale, pineapple, apples andBrazil nuts could render their construc-
tive values almost useless.
Similar modifications instructure occur with alltheamino acids incooked proteins,
essential andnonessential. When weconsider thevast complexity ofthese molecules,
wecanappreciate perhaps more fully thevalue ofretaining theoriginal organic struc-
ture. Itisdifficult, ifnotimpossible, forthehuman body tobuild itsown protein ifit
must first untangle an inor ganic mess even before it starts.
Ragnar Berg,theSwedish scientist, reported long agoonresearch thatshowed that
boiling meat even foracomparatively short time changed thenature ofthephosphate
presence inprotein. Phosphorus isessential toblood andbrain building. And yet,how
often arethefollowing valuable foods cooked, valuable because they contain generous
amounts ofphosphorus inthem: kale, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, Savoy cabbage, car-
rots, cauliflower,cucumbers, lettuce, Brazil nuts, walnuts, huckleberries, blackberries,
cherries andblack mission figs. Many ofthese same foods contain iodine which, on
heating, isalso changed toHIorhydriotic acid causing damage tothethyroxine pres-
ence.
Itisinteresting inthisrespect tonote therecent release byan“expert” panel ofthe
National Academy ofSciences (asreported inthepublic press onJune 17,1982) in
which, forthefirst time, itisacknowledged thatafaulty dietisrelated tocancer.The
panel urgedpeople toincrease their consumption offruits andvegetables andespecial-
lyofmembers ofthecabbage family,such asbroccoli, cauliflower,kale andbrussels
sprouts which “contain natural cancer -inhibiting substances.”
Could these perhaps bethesulphur intheamino acids which aredestroyed bythe
cooking process? Perhaps forthefirsttime thisofficial body hasalsorecognized theim-
portance ofanadequate vitamin intake, emphasizing thevitamin Ccontained indark-
green leafy vegetables anddeep yellow fruits andvegetables. AsLife Scientists we,of
course, know thatcancer represents theend-point ofalong andinvolved biological evo-
lution, onemade operational byamultitudinous number ofphysiological insults, afaulty
diet being one.
Themore thecomplex molecules


ofIowa’ sdepartment offamily practice. Hetested 40breast-fed babies and66bottle-fed
babies foraperiod ofsixmonths from birth. Hefound thatbreast-fed babies visited a
physician anaverage of1.6times duetoillness. Thebottle-fed babies visited 2.8times
during this period. This is nearly twice as often.
Other studies have shown thatbreast-fed babies have sixtimes thechance ofliving
through their first year asbottle-fed babies. Ninety percent ofallinfantile deaths occur
in bottle-fed babies.
Breast-fed babies arevigorous andhealthy andareless likely todevelop diseas-
es—especially,theso-called contagious diseases, breast-fed babies willbelesslikely to
have bowel troubles and gastrointestinal impairments.
Breast milk isalways ready—it requires nofixing andisalways there. Itdoes not
contain dirtorcontamination anddoesn’ tneed preparation ormeasuring. Itisalways
fresh and cannot deteriorate.
Breast-feeding ischeaper than, bottle-feeding (itcosts younothing) andgives you
more time tobewith baby because youspend lesstime preparing, sterilizing, warming,
cooking, and cleaning up after bottles.
Breast milk isformula perfect forbaby’ sdigestive system. Itisreadily assimilated
and easy to digest, allowing baby more ener gy for better growth of brain and body.
Ababy hasaninexhaustible need tobeloved. Breastfeeding shows himheisloved.
Itgives himasecure feeling ofbeing snuggled closely toyouwhen nursing. Breastfeed-
ing provides closeness and warmth—a close contact that bonds a mother with her child.
Baby’ ssucking after birth helps theuterus ofthemother tocontract toitsnormal size
quickly. This prevents excessive bleeding after delivery.
Babies thatarebreast-fed arelesslikely tobeconstipated orhave skin disorders and
respiratory ailments. They willnothave anyoftheso-called “aller gies” common among
bottle-fed babies. They’re also free ofgastroenteritis, blood poisoning, andwill have
fewer dental problems later in life.
Ifawoman isbreast-feeding solely,thatis,notfeeding herbaby anything butbreast
milk, herovulation willbepostponed forasmuch astwoyears. This means thatifshe
does indulge insexwhile lactating, shewillnotgetpregnant assoon. Thus, natural child
spacing and no artificial means of birth control is necessary.
Another advantage ofbreast-feeding babies isthattheir stools will notsmell foul.
They smell sweet andareloose andyellowish incolor rather than hard, dark-colored,
andfoul smelling asinbottle-fed babies. This isbecause breast milk iseasily digested
and it doesn’ t putrefy in the baby’ s body.
Inspite ofthemany advantages ofbreast-feeding, itdoes notguarantee good moth-
ering. There is much more to good mothering aside from providing the best food.
Also there ismuch toknow about breast-feeding such aswhen tofeed, how often to
feed, under what conditions tofeed, how much tofeed, etc.This willbecovered later in
this lesson.
56.2.2 Bottle-feeding
Bottle-feeding became popular with thebelief thatitwas cleaner,somehow better
than breast milk. Itwas also considered advantageous forthewoman onthego—she
didn’ thave tobewith baby allthetime inorder forhimtobefed.Someone elsecould
give him the bottle as well as she. It allowed her to go to work.
However,asfarasIcansee, there arenoadvantages tobottle-feeding. Even ifa
woman hastowork there areways tobreast-feed herbaby.Shecanhand express her
milk before work inthemorning orthenight before andfreeze it.Itwillbethere forthecaretaker toputoutatroom temperature ahead oflime andbeready forbaby when baby
is hungry.
There aremany,many disadvantages tobottle-feeding though. One isitcanlead
toobesity.Theartificial carbohydrates informula milks arehabit forming andincrease
consumption ofartificial sweets later inlife.Artificial formulas contain much saltwhich
canlead todehydration ininfants andtoxicity.There arehigh levels oflead informula
milk that has been stored in tin cans.
Bottle-feeding isavery unnatural approach tohandling aninfant’ snutritional needs.
Itcomes complete with schedules, bottles (which caneasily become contaminated),
complicated preparation, awaste ofprecious energy,awaste oftime, etc.Amother has
tobeconcerned with which formula touse, how toprepare it,how much touse, how
often tofeed, whether ornottohold thebaby,etc.And atbest, allthemanufacturers can
claim is that their formula is “most like mother ’s milk.”
Bottle-fed babies aremore likely todevelop disease. So-called “aller gic” reactions
tothemilk such aseczema arecommon. Many nutritional ailments arecaused bybottle
milks asmother ’smilk cannot beduplicated. Nooneeven knows allthecomponents of
breast milk, and, therefore, formula milks arelikely tobedeficient inoneormore nec-
essary element. One formula milk wasfound deficient invitamin B-6after itwasdis-
covered that this vitamin is contained in breast milk.
Bottle milks aredifficult forbaby todigest. Therefore, much energyisspent in
breaking these down toausable form andlessenergyisdirected toward baby’ sgrowth
and development.
Bottle-fed babies who arefedcow’ smilk often have intestinal andgastric distur-
bances. This isbecause cow’ smilk isnotsuitable forthebaby’ sdigestive system. Cow’ s
milk contains more fat,more calcium andmuch lesstryptophan (anamino acid) and
lecithin than mother ’smilk. Tryptophan andlecithin areused inbuilding brains and
nerves. Calcium isemployed inbuilding bones. This iswhy cow’ smilk hasthecompo-
nents ithas—a cow’ sbone structure grows rapidly,anditsbrains andnervous system
arenothighly ordelicately organized. Ontheother hand, ababy isrelatively small of
bone andhave alarge,highly-or ganized brain with aperfection ofsenses andbodily
control. Babies fedoncow’ smilk primarily have softer brains andarelesslikely tobeas
intelligent asbreast-led babies. Theexcess offatandcream incow’ smilk alsoproduces
digestive disturbances in baby.
Cow’ smilk contributes tohardening ofthearteries andhigh blood pressure later in
life.Italsocancause low-blood calcium inthenewborn, anoverload intheinfant’ skid-
neys from having toexpel theexcess proteins, diarrhea, respiratory infections, etc.Ton-
sillar and adenoid troubles are also common with babies fed cow’ s milk.
However,under certain, abnormal conditions, itbecomes necessary foramother to
include cow’ sorother animals’ milk inthedietofherbaby.These willbeincluded later.
Another problem with bottle milk isthatitdoes notchange with thehormonal and
nutritional needs ofthegrowing baby.Themakers ofbaby formulas cannot duplicate the
changes incomposition orvolume thattakes place continuously inmother ’smilk asher
baby grows.
Yes,mother ’smilk cannot beimitated inthelaboratory.Nature haditperfect tobe-
gin with, and there is no perfect or near perfect substitute.
56.2.3 Common Worries and Apprehensions About Breast-feeding
Some women feelthatbecause their breasts aresmall they willbeunable tonurse
their babies. They feelthatsomehow largerbreasts areable toproduce more milk. This
is, most definitely, not true.
Other women feelthatnursing willspoil theshape oftheir breasts. This isalso not
soifthewoman istaking good care ofherself—eating right andexercising. Even ifthis
were so—which is more important, the shape of your breasts or your baby’ s health?Abelief thataninability tonurse exists because your mother orgrandmother were
unable toisalsounfounded. Nodiseases ordisfunctions arehereditary.Yourequipment
is entirely independent of your mother ’s.
Afear thatyour milk won’ tberich enough isalso unfounded. Studies conducted
have shown thateven themilk ofunhealthy,emaciated mothers isbetter than artificial
formulas.
What ifIcan’tproduce enough milk? Ifthishappens, justnurse your baby more.

 through negative thought patterns,
imprecise actions, poor health habits, and, yes, through accidental injuries.
Ifyoucannot quite believe thetruth thathealthy people have fewer accidents, then
youshould atleast understand thatahealthy body canrecover more quickly when an
injury does occur.
Melvin Kimmel, aNatural Hygienist, hadthistosayabout staying healthy andin-
juries inanissue ofDr.Shelton’ sHygienic Review :“The best safeguard foremer gency
situations is to stay healthy.
Keeping thecells ofourbody inoptimum condition byfollowing therawfood diet,
sensible exercise, andsoforth cannotonly save lives, butcanminimize accidental in-
juries.” When thebody isinjured, ahealthy person canrecover quickly andwithout the
complications that often send others running to the physician.”
Accident prevention should beamajor concern ofevery health-seeker.Besides stay-
inghealthy,what elsecanbedone tominimize theriskofinjuries andaccidents? First,
do not take unnecessary risks.
Severe injuries often result from such activities andsports asskiing, skydiving, mo-
torcycle riding, etc.Wouldn’ titseem intelligent toavoid those sports andactivities that
have ahigh-risk factor? This does notmean thatweshould beafraid tobeactive orto
exercise. Itsimply means thatwhen wehave achoice, weshould choose those activities
thathave aproven history offewer injury-related incidents. There isnoneed toexpose
yourself tounnecessary risks andpotential injuries. Aperson concerned about health
willchoose jobs, hobbies, activities, andsports thatdonothave ahigh-risk factor orpast
history of frequent accidents.
Another benefit ofhealthful living isthatyouwillberelatively immune toaccidents
andinjuries thatarealcohol ordrug related. Over 50% ofalltrafficaccidents, forexam-
ple,involve alcohol. Alertness canprotect yousomewhat from adrunk driver.Youcan
spot and avoid erratic drivers.
Ifweavoid alcohol andalldrugs, both legal andillegal, then wecanmaintain aclar-
ity of judgment and precise actions that will not subject us to injuries.
First aidisfineafter theaccident orinjury.Butaswith disease andillness, wouldn’ t
it be nicer if we did not have accidents in the first place?
68.6. Questions & Answers
I’mconfused. First yousaythat first aidmay bethelastaidaperson needs. Then
you saythat sometimes emergency surgery could benecessary. What Iwant to
know iswhen doyougotothehospital andwhen canyoustay athome andtreat an
injury yourself?
Avisit toahospital oranytype ofsurgery could beinitself alife-threatening
episode. Ifyousincerely feelthatyour lifeisindanger,thatyour condition isde-
teriorating, andthatyour own efforts arenotenough, then byallmeans seek addi-
tional help! There aresome things thatthemedical profession ishelpful forsuch as
setting broken bones and stitching ruptured arteries.
Asageneral rule, seek additional help when themechanical injuries done to
your body aresogreat thatthebody (itself cannot effectarepair without some aid.
Inother words, youmust getthecondition ofthebody stable andwhole tostart the
healing process. Ifthebody isstable, sound, andsuffersnomajor mechanical inju-
ry, then do not worry about additional help or aid.
You saynodrugs. Butwhen Ibroke myleg,Iwanted apain killer! Aren’t anes-
thetics okay at times like that?Wehave tobepractical about thissortofthing. Sometimes itwould beimpos-
sible tosetabone orrepair amajor injury without some type ofpain killer.Ifthe
anesthetic isonly given initially while therepair isbeing made, then itwould seem
thattheadvantage would outweigh thedisadvantage. If,however,youtake pain
pills after theoperation asaregular course ofaction, orcontinue toreceive injec-
tions to deaden you, then that is drug abuse.
Anesthetics arenotgiven tospeed uphealing orto“cure” anything. They are
used (or should be used) as a temporary, one-time measure during a crisis.
Anormal, healthy,andwhole body would never need injections ordrugs ofany
kind. Aninjured broken body isnotnormal, andwhile therepair isbeing made a
mild anesthetic may be a practical necessity.
Iwould also strongly suggest investigating acupuncture asanalternative for
anesthetic drugs during surgery orrepair.Aproperly-trained acupuncturist (and
there aremany more nowadays) candeaden nerve paths more safely than drugs
foremergency surgery andrepair.Acupuncture andacupressure aretechniques for
distressing anerve center toinduce brain secretion ofitsendorphins (endogenous
morphine).
Article #1: The Tough Cookie Life Scientist by Peter Gregonis
How T erry Did It
Natural living isdifficult toachieve inoursociety because weareconditioned from
birth tobedependent upon authority.How canaperson come totrust thebody’ sself-
healing ability when wearehammered with theidea thatserums, drugs, vitamins, or
physicians willbring ushealth? Trying tofight against thisconstant barrage ofideas is
likeswimming against arushing stream. Ittakes tremendous strength andwillpower to
go it alone.
However,once werealize thatthebodily intelligence issupreme inallmatters of
sickness andhealth, wecantake delight inswimming against thetideofmass opinion
and even gain nourishment and strength from this opposition.
How Terry Did It
Letussuppose that you were involved inaserious auto accident andyou were
hauled unconscious tothehospital. Upon awakening, what would youasaLife Scientist
do?Would youorder thatyour badly mauled body betaken outofthehospital toyour
home?
This happened toT.C.Fryseveral years ago. Tough Cookie Frycame to,andhis
firstthoughts were tofleethehospital andthedoctors. Why letthese people ridetoglo-
ryupon thebody’ sability toheal itself? SoTerry’ sbadly bruised body wastaken tohis
home where he immediately began a fast.
For14days T.C.refused food inorder togive hisbody achance toconcentrate all
ofitsenergyupon thehealing process. The healing process took lessthan amonth; it
would have taken twice as long under hospital care.
Youtoocanlearn todispense with physicians andtheir medical treatments. Join the
Life Science movement and trust the highest intelligence of your body.
Article #2: First Aid and Hygiene by Dr. Alec Burton
Itisimportant tounderstand thatthebasic principles ofHygiene should notbeviolated
incases ofemer gency.Thebody’ sneeds must bemetanditscapacity recognized. Ob-
viously,there areconditions which result from injury andaccidents thatrequire some
immediate and skilled mechanical attention.Incases where such first aidisnecessary,weshould stillavoid violating thefunda-
mental principles employed intheHygienic system. Weshould avoid employing pro-
cedures which arelikely tobedamaging inthelong term, even ifashort-term endis
gained.
Incertain situations, such asfracturing abone, dislocating ajoint, orsevering an
artery,which represent mechanical injuries, then mechanical techniques ofcorrection
arenecessary andjustified. However,these mechanical techniques areonly justifiable so
farasthey go.They have norelation whatsoever toactual healing, nordothey remove
causes except intheimmediate sense. Healing isafundamental biological process and
weemploy some ofthese techniques—like thereduction ofdislocations, thesetting of
broken bones, andminor surgery— inorder tofacilitate healing, nottoperform it.Ar-
tificial respiration certainly may prevent aperson from dying andinnoway could itbe
considered asharmful, nordoes itattempt tousurp thenormal andorderly processes of
theorganism. Itisatemporary mechanical procedure thatenables thebody toperform
thefunctions oflifemore satisfactorily under theprevailing conditions. Strictly speak-
ing, the “respiration” is anything but artificial.
Youmay have heard ofthemillionaire who came running ontothebeach toseehis
wife who hadjustbeen dragged from thewater andartificial respiration wasbeing ad-
ministered. Thegentlemen screamed attheman, “That’ smywife! What areyoudoing?”
“Well,” saidtheyoung man, “Yourwife almost drowned. We’regiving herartificial res-
piration.” “Artificial, bedamned,” wasthereply.“Give hertherealthing—I canafford
it!”
When wehave toresort tosurgical ormechanical techniques asmay berequired, and
where tissues areseverely damaged after serious injury,itissometimes necessary tore-
lieve pain andconsequently theage-old question oftheuseofanesthetics arises. Ithink
wehave tomake adistinction between caring forthesickandfacilitating surgical inter-
vention. Forexample, avictim ofamotor accident who requires alimb amputation—it
would beunthinkable


 uncles andchildren were formal forthemost part. There
were polite inquiries astothehealth ofeach, astoplans forthechildren’ sfuture, andso
on.Thetogetherness oftheWelshfamily washighly visible while, intheEnglish family,
atleast onthesurface, itwasnonexistent. Inreality,itwasextremely close assubsequent
events, which we will not go into here, revealed.
Itwould beinteresting, would itnot,tospeculate onhow thismarriage andthechil-
dren turned out? W ell, we can because Dr. Elizabeth was one of those children.
Three children ofthisunion lived toadulthood. Allwere scientifically inclined. All
received scholarships tovarious universities. Twowere musically talented andwere pro-
vided with excellent teachers solong asthey manifested adesire tolearn. One became
anelectrical engineer,another achemical engineer with thelatter child receiving inter-
national recognition inhisparticular Field ofexpertise after alifetime ofservice inthe
field of education; and then there was Elizabeth.
The marriage remained intact even though thebackgrounds were sodissimilar.In
other words, thecommon pattern didnothold with thiscouple. Infact, allthemarriages
within both families, WelshandEnglish, remained intact andallgenerations remained in
contact with older generations influencing theyounger,passing onthesecurity offamily
togetherness, traditional values and a wide diversity of experiences.
Elizabeth says thatthereason wasobvious andespecially soinherimmediate fam-
ily:onemember ofthefamily wasthemotivating head, therecognized guide ofthefu-
turewelfare ofthefamily,thatperson being thevery strict, very proper,British gentle-
woman. Itwasshewho setthegoals andlaidouttherules. Shehadthevision, avision
ofaccomplishment andservice andsoitwasshewho, with firmness anddiscipline tem-
pered with love, sawtoitthatthefamily went forward. While thiswasnotaHygienic
family, nevertheless it can provide us with a role model to follow.
80.2.1.2 Jane and Bill’s Family
Jane andBill, ontheother hand, provide uswith anentirely different situation. They
began their family some twenty years ago. Their backgrounds were quite similar.Their
parents were both hard-working, relatively uneducated andvery religious people. Nei-
ther Jane norBillever completed high school. Infact, Jane didnotfinish elementary
school. Billworked regularly ontherailroad, brought home hispaycheck every week
andwent fishing anddrinking onweekends. Hewasarough-and-tumble kind offellow,
very physical and crude in many ways.
Jane was tobepitied. Herfamily background was rather sad: amother who pro-
claimed herdeep religious convictions butneglected herchildren; afather who abused
thechildren anddrank himself todeath. Hermarriage wasunhappy,too,butnevertheless
Jane remained with Billandgave birth totwochildren. Perhaps because ofherback-
ground, she wanted so much for her children that she became a “nagger.”
After some 18years ofmarriage, shefound herchildren grown, almost ready to
leave thenest, soJane began toreach out.Shebegan taking classes here andthere, class-
esonmany subjects. One evening sheattended alecture onNatural Hygiene. What she
heard made sense toherand, knowing thatshewasvery sick, shesought professional
counseling from us.
Jane hadbeen ondrugs throughout herentire married life.Shehadspent some time
every winter inthehospital. Natural Hygiene offered herhope. Shefasted ataHygienic
retreat onthree occasions anditwasnotlong before shebegan toexperience therewards
of correct living and eating.Herphysical condition improved but,something elsehappened also: herlife,herin-
terests, herstandards began tochange, leading herintoforeign territory,tonew knowl-
edge andexperiences. AtHygienic parties andmeetings, shemetpeople who lived ina
world very different from herown. This new world intrigued her.Shedesired tobecome
a part of this new world and, what is more, she wanted her family to know it, too.
However,Jane lacked tact. Shewastooabrupt. Shewanted allmembers ofherfam-
ilytocross allthebridges together andatoneandthesame time—in asingle leap, asit
were. Shewasdemanding andimpatient. Asaconsequence, both children leftthefam-
ilynest toseek their own ways. Herhusband became notonly physically abusive but
mentally aswell, threatening divorce orseparation asarguments became more andmore
frequent. What hadonce been apassable home became ahouse inwhich twopeople
lived in loneliness without their children, a house filled with misery and despair.
Wasthehusband correct inhisassessment thathiswife’ snew interest, Natural Hy-
giene, wasthework ofthedevil? OrwasJane, inherenthusiasm, atfault? Dowe,who
embrace theprinciples ofNatural Hygiene, have tobecome more aware ofourproper
roleasweattempt notonly toimpart themessage ofNatural Hygiene tosociety atlarge
butalso aswedeal with families newly introduced toitsprecepts? Wethink wedo,if
wearetoserve ourclients well. Wecannot justhitthehigh spots andbecome menu pro-
grammers. Wehave topenetrate thehidden corners ofdoubts andconflicts asthey may
arise from time to time in the family of which the individual client is a part.
80.3. The Modern Family
80.3.1 Other Influences
80.3.1 Maladaptive Behavior Responses
80.3.2 A Clarification
Forthemost part, families today donothave thetogetherness, thecommon purpose
offamilies informer years. There areexceptions, tobesure. Certain religious groups en-
courage notonly family togetherness butalso communal responsibility forother mem-
bers of their church society.
Today many,ifnotmost, children areoften physically separated from grandparents,
from aunts anduncles, from cousins byhundreds aridoften thousands ofmiles. Divorce
has cast many children upon the winds of conflict and chance.
Even theimmediate unit consisting oftwoparents andtheir children haschanged.
Over fifty percent ofthemothers ofAmerica have deserted what haslong been consid-
ered thenormal biological roleofmothers: nurturing, instructing, disciplining, feeding,
loving ofthechildren they give birth to,infavor ofpersonal enlar gement, economic se-
curity,andthetangible assets which give pleasure andcomfort; they have exchanged the
more traditional roleforanicer house inwhich tolive, abetter neighborhood, amore
elite school fortheir children, more expensive clothing, amusements ofchoice. Thecon-
sidered welfare oftheir children’ sphysical, mental andmoral growth isexchanged, more
often than not,forthings. Ofcourse, thisisnottrueofallworking mothers—many of
them areforced intothework force because oneincome inthefamily nolonger covers
the family’ s basic needs.
One ofthemajor changes wehave observed isinthecare andconcern forthewell-
being ofthechildren within thefamily unit. While emotional concern, affection anda
certain amount ofsupport aremore usual than thelack ofsuch, thisbeing, ofcourse, a
variable from family tofamily,theactual caretaking ofthephysical bodies ofchildren
andtheir education inallareas ofpossible development haslargely been relegated to
outside agencies: thenursery andpreschool, thepublic school, orthechurch andother
specialized schools wherein thechild ismore orlesscompelled tofitintothemold ofa
prescribed educational, moral andphysical pattern fordevelopment which isgeared to
an accepted “norm.” They become robots within a stylized society.Toagreat extent, also, thetransmission oftraditional values, cultures andcustoms,
theknowledge andexperience oftheelder members ofthefamily andofsociety atlarge
hasbeen viewed oflesser importance aschildren have been turned over topublic agen-
ciesofonekind oranother: Boy Scouts, Little Leagues, theY.M.andY.W.C.A.s, tovar-
ious therapists ofonekind oranother,toyouth camps, toleaders ofsummer programs,
etc.Asaresult, arather peripatetic social andeducational environment hasbecome an
accepted pattern for living.
Children arerarely permitted tobesimply children—they must always bedoing.
Shelton points outthatthisishighly stressful toyoung bodies intheprocess ofmaturing.
Thetraditional orphysical value ofwhat they doisnotdeeply considered. Itisthedoing
ofsome THING thatisofimmediate concern. What thefinal outcome ofthisstress ex-
posure upon future generations will be will remain for time to reveal.
80.3.1 Other Influences
Additionally,from thetime they cantoddle, children aregreatly influenced bytheir
peers because they areinsuch constant contact with them. This wasnotsointhepast
when children lived close tothefamily’


.
Therefore, wefeelitisimportant forallofus,whether weareactually engaged inthis
business ofteaching health orwhether wearejustordinary persons who want toliveout
ourdays injoyful health—all ofusmust become more open-minded, more informed, so
thatwecangetsome new ideas. Wemust trade theconsensus ofsickness forthecon-
sensus ofhealth. Wemust learn theVitalLaws ofLife which arecircumscribed forall
living creatures, even Man, andwemust understand thatunless weliveinaccordance
with these laws, thatwehave nochoice buttobecome apartoftheherd; apartofallthe

tureortomake Nature accommodate herself tohisown ideas oftheway things should

A Strong Ally for a Bright Future
Yourvoice isthe“front door” toyour personality,andlikethefront door onareal

ontheatmosphere about that“front door” ofyours. Ifitiswarm, friendly,sincere, and
readily opened, folks willgettheimpression thatthey aregoing toLIKE what they find
inside.
When youopen thatdoor toletyour personality COME OUT,thekind ofperson
people seeandhear leaving that“house” ofyours willdepend upon what yousay,and
HOW you say it. So, your “personality house” will need several doors.
Itwillneed thedoor ofgood conversation, through which youenter intocooperative
relationship with others, bytheexchange ofideas andthoughts, byintelligent listening
to others, and by asking complimentary questions.
Itwillneed thedoor through which youcanstepandmake effective presentations of
your good ideas togroups ofpeople, guided bythoughtful, prepared speech, delivered
in an interesting, attention-claiming manner.
Itwillneed thedoor through which youuseyour voice and, words, toinform oth-
ers—to instruct—to guide—to influence. Those youmeet asyoustep through thisdoor
willbeyour family,thepeople with whom youwork orhave social relationships. (And,
of course, your clients!—The Authors.)
The best “hardware” with which tohang these important “personality doors” isa
broad vocabulary,anever-expanding vocabulary,acquired bylistening andreading, and
choosing new words and phrases as your own.
Put This Bright Finish on Your House
Now with your “house” structure completed, wecanadd some ofthefinishing
touches, starting with thecolor scheme. One basic material isyours towork with here,
andwith ityoucanputthemost attractive finish onyour house. This material isOP-
TIMISM. (Remember thatwhen theprinciples ofLife Science areapplied byaperson
filled with sufficient residual energytoinitiate andsustain therecovery process, youwill
approach a success rate of 100%!—The Authors.)
Takeagood look atthisworld ofours, andwhat ishappening every day,andatjust
how wearegetting along. TakeaGOOD look, andyou’ll seethatthisoldplace isba-
sically going along inanOPTIMISTIC manner! Things aren’ tperfect —but there’ salot
more onthePOSITIVE side than onthenegative. And ifyouCONCENTRA TEonthis
fact, youwillALWAYSfindthatthere aretwosides toevery condition—no matter how
“dark” something may seem at any one moment.
Youcanadd theperfect decor—the perfect “color scheme” toyour personality,
byDEMONSTRA TING that you can and dofind the “bright side” ofthis
world—OFTEN— very often!
Optimism—and allthecongenial, happy attitudes itinfers—will make YOUR
“house” an outstandingly attractive one in the eyes of everyone.
How Fine You Look!
Then, ofcourse, youwillwant toaddthedistinctiveness ofagood landscape job,so
you accomplish this through DRESS and GROOMING.
Youknow,ifwewent around inpractically nothing butourskins, asdosome of
ourbrothers andsisters inother parts oftheworld, (totally inkeeping, ofcourse, with
Hygienic principles!—The Authors), wemight saythatwecould greatly simplify this
whole matter ofwardrobes, andtaking care ofourclothes, andbeing concerned about
how we“look.” Butjustsuppose thatwedidmake afantastic switch inourculture, and
decided totryitthe“South SeaIsland” way,with loincloths, andbeads andgrass skirtsthe“fashionable” dress. Itdoesn’ ttake anyimagination topicture what would happen to
thepersonalities ofallofus,does it?Idon’tthink Iwould want toargue themerits of
such a “fashion” for myself.
Iamsure thatwhen youconsider theramifications ofthetwoextremes ofculture,
the“grass-skirt” motif ascompared tothefully-clothed motif, youwillseethegreat re-
sponsibility anddependence weplace upon clothes andgrooming inthekind ofsociety
in which we live.
Others don’tseetherealskin-clad you. They seetheclothes youwear,andthecon-
dition oftheexposed portions ofyour body,such ashands, arms, face, hair.Therefore,
they areconstantly appraising andevaluating you, upon thebasis ofthequality,cleanli-
ness and good taste of your clothes and grooming.
Harmonious color combinations, good choice ofaccessories, well-cared-for hair,all
adduptotheway to“landscape” yourself, sothatpeople willhave acontinuously agree-
able reaction tothekind ofperson youare.Forthisreason, your wardrobe should be
considered anINVESTMENT—and your grooming acareful preparation foryour ap-
pearance as an actor or actress on the “Stage” that is your everyday world.
Unlimited Choice of Furnishings
And finally,ofcourse, youwillwant tofurnish your house. Here youhave unlimited
choice ofmaterials, because youfurnish your “personality house” with KNOWLEDGE.
Learning, theseeking ofknowledge, theACQUIRING ofknowledge makes your
personality grow andprosper.Through anexpanding pattern ofknowledge inyour life,
anditsexpansive effectonyour personality,theadding ofdays andmonths andyears
toyour life,ACTS INYOUR FAVOR. Each daythatbrings youNEW knowledge adds
tothepower ofyour personality,andifeach changing daybrings thisknowledge from
aDIFFERENT source, adding variety toyour inner resources, your personality IM-
PROVES with age! A most desirable circumstance, isn’ t it?
Inyour “personality house,” there aremany rooms tofurnish, andsothere aremany
opportunities forusing avariety ofknowledge. Seek tofurnish each room distinctive-
ly,through positive, progressive knowledge concerning your vocation, your avocation,
your interests, world affairs, community affairs, andthepeople with whom youasso-

make your “personality house” one that is COMFOR TABLE for you and for others.
Now youknow what ittakes tomake anideal “personality house.” Youknow the

Do This Today for a Guaranteed Future
First, make anhonest inventory ofyour personality assets and


,wecan’tsayexactly what hasbecome ofitsatoms andmolecules, for
they have rearranged andchanged structure from oneform intoanother (orperhaps oth-
ers). This transformation process oflife(called death) isstillvery much amystery tous!
People already give us“those” looks when wetellthem wedon’teatmeat orcooked

life and change and metamorphosis and evolution...” Here we go again!
So,isthat allthere istoit?We’ve been saying thislifeforce weaves itsway here

have choices tomake. When lifeasks ustodance with it,webecome itspartners—we
help determine itsrhythm within usandthemelody ofourduet together—life isthe

cated thatthewilltolive, orthelack ofthewilltolive, dohave aneffect onthelength
ofourlives, andthataperson canliterally “turn himself off”atsome point, whether
consciously orsubconsciously.(Another good reason tokeep thoughts positive.) Ifwe

Ineach moment, time stands still; ineach moment, from whence wecame andwhere
we are going are all caught up in an instant of eternity.
Believe inlifeanditsforce andyoualready,know eternity.Eternal lifeiswith us
forever in this moment.
101.2.5 What Time Is It?
Wediscussed theconcept oftime inLesson 90andsaidthatitdoesn’ tactually exist
exactly aswedefine itinourhuman terms! There, andinourabove discussion, wemen-
tioned theeternal present: itisalways now.Yesterday andtomorrow areactually “ab-
stractions”: theonly realtime is“now.”There isnoother time weexist inother than
“now” (in fact, everyone who ever lived, lived “now”).
Wesaythat moments (and time) pass from onetothenext, buttime isn’tmov-
ing—it’ salways now— itisweliving beings who move.Weform aliving chain ofbeings
andwecallthose who lived before us“from thepast” andthose who areyettocome
“from thefuture” andthelinks ofthischain oflifehold ustogether.Wecanassume that
everyone wasliving (orwilllive) now atthetime they lived (orwill)—and wewho are
alive now areliving now—so itappears thatwe’re “allliving atthesame time—now.
“Ofcourse thatseems todefy thephysical imagination, tosaytheleast, butasmuch asit
defies logical explanation, itisatthesame time somehow “logical.” It’salsointeresting
to note that this might shed some light on the mystery of the gift of prophecy!
101.2.6 “Time Is of the Essence”
We’ve talked about some peoples’ ability toknow things from the“universal
mind”—an ability thatdefies logical explanation andgoes beyond ourusual “normal”
channels forreceiving knowledge. Notonly that, butour“normal,” traditional notion of
time isalso open toquestion when weseethatsome people notonly know things or
receive information beyond their “normal” physical/ mental reality; they areeven abletoknow things (whether from thepast orfuture) beyond theso-called “physical time”
inwhich they exist atthatmoment. How canthisbe?How cansomeone know some-
thing that“hasn’ thappened yet”? What does thatdotoour“normal” concept ofthe“fu-
ture,” oroftime itself? One ofthebetter -known examples ofperson with prophetic gifts
wasNostradamus, who lived inthe16th century.Heissaid tohave foreseen numerous
events thatcame topass after hisdeath (which healso sawahead oftime). In1568, he
published the following prophecy:
Century IV, Quatrain 67:
In the year that Saturn and Mars are equally firey
The air is very dry, a long meteor (comet)
By secret fires, many places shall be burnt with heat
There shall be scarcity of rain, hot winds, wars, blood,
thirst and famine (when the comet shall run).
Theabove quote andthefollowing excerpts arefrom anarticle “When Solar Winds
Blow Havoc forMankind” byJimCummins, Acres,U.S.A.,January 1985, which dis-
cusses thereturn ofHalley’ scomet, dueagain inourvicinity inNovember 1985, andto
“stay inourbackyard” until April 1986. Halley’ scomet hasawell-documented 76-year
cycle, with records begun inMarch 239, B.C. Ever since thissighting, aworldwide
three-year drought (and often resultant famine) hasfollowed initswake each time, (for
details—a long listofother climatological, social andpolitical upheavals throughout his-
tory thatwere ontheheels orinthewake ofacomet—please getacopy oftheabove
issue.)
“How canallthese things beattributed tothepassing ofacomet? Space probes
have sent back data showing thatthesuncontinuously ejects amillion tons ofgas
persecond, moving ataradial speed of250miles persecond, with wind speeds
past theearth atsome 900,000 miles perhour,andextends toabout four times the
distance beyond thefarthest planet Pluto. (Acomet travels initsorbit toseveral
thousand times farther than Pluto.) This solar wind carries chaotic magnetic fields
along with itbecause thegasisionized. Themagnetic fields ofthesolar wind ruffle
theearth’ sown magnetic field asitpasses by,hence, magnetic disturbances affect-
ingcommunications, etc., atthetime ofincreased solar activity (which iscyclical).
Scientists have determined, forinstance, astatistical correlation between theaccel-
erations of Halley’ s Comet and magnetic disturbances on the earth.
“The effects ofthesolar wind onevery earthly activity,from health tomarkets,
weather,andwars, iswell-documented. Thetransverse motion ofacomet atmany
miles persecond across themovement ofthesolar wind blowing radially from the
sunresults inthei6ntailofthecomet interacting with thehigh velocity ofthesolar
wind inthesame way thatsmoke rising from asmokestack interacts with moving
air to produce a graceful billowy arch to the earth.
“Scientists now believe thateach interstellar dust grain ofcomet stuffcontains
molecules offormaldimine, methyl alcohol, methyl cyanide, hydrogen cyanide or
hydrocyanic acid, andsome 20others, including cyanogen andcarbon dioxide. (My
note here: wehave toomuch CO2 already.)Many oftheradicals they have deter-

, we don’t have
to cover ourselves with diamonds. We don’t have to have a Rolex watch.
We don’t have to have this year’s Cadillac. We don’t have to have designer
clothes. We don’ t have to have $2,000 suits.
This doesn’ t mean that we couldn’ t have them because we enjoy them,
but it is a totall y different space to come from. We might wear the same
diamonds just because we think  they’re beautiful and they belonged to our
grandmothers. Or they were gifts from our friends. Maybe they struck our
aesthetic fancies. The difference is that if a truly successful person loses any
symbols of success, they are usually relatively indifferent about it. The
feeling of loss is often for the sentimental value or the fact that it is
aesthetically irreplaceable.
The one thing that the truly successful person knows is: Wher e that came
from, there’s a lot more. The truly successful person knows that where it
came from is unlimited and endless. Because of that, the person may appear
somewhat naïve. The customary paranoia that exists in our world about
guarding and protecting one’s possessions and possessiveness does not
seem to domina te them. So they may seem relatively careless. They appear
unimpressive because they have no need to impress anyone. Sometimes
they have the absentminded-professor look.If I saw anyone  coming into my business who had what I called the
“Albert Einstein look,” I would instantly give them attention. Those people
who come in with a sense of demandingness, self-importance, an imperious
haughty or aloof stance are most likely going to be problematic. Yet they
are the ones whom most proprietors would consider to be important. Often
such people fall into the 5 perce nt that I consider necessary to throw away
in every  busine ss. The 5 perce nt that cause 95 percent of problems very
often look like that.
I had the opportunity to grow up around a number of super successful
people. I observed that the wom en frequently looked almost dowdy. They
usually bought well-tailored clothes and then wore them forever. Very often
they drove to church in an old car. This was characteristic of some of the
richest people in the world whom I’ve known on a personal basis. They
were inconspicu ous, relatively  undemanding, drove ordinary cars, and
saved the symbols of success for display only where they were  appropriate
and demanded by the occasion itself.
For insta nce, at a state visit, the stretch limo is required by the occasion.
It is not required by the person, but by the occasion itself; thus,  it would be
inappropriate to drive a ten-year -old economy car that was driven all week
to a state occasion. The difference is that such symbols are not needed and
are merely held as entertainment, pleasantries, niceties, or conveniences.
There’ s no necessity to be preten tious. Just as a man who is sure and certain
of his virility doesn’ t feel he has to make a pass at every woman.
Self-confidence comes from the absolute knowingness that what we are
aligned with is a powerful attractor pattern; therefore, we don’t have to
worry about the consequences. Appearances are held in the context of what
is necessary to be appropriate, workable, and kindly toward others.
Many of the richest people in the world I have known felt that it was
unseemly to be ostentatious in the display of wealth, becaus e it created
envy, discomfor t, hostility, and jealousy in others. Expensive things are
esteemed because of their intrinsic value, not because of their value as
status symbols. People who are truly successful are aware of what status
symbols mean to others, but they are not run by those symbols and
frequently, are quite naïve in the matter. The “in” and the “out” lists in
society publications are a joke to them. They’ve always been “in” and
they’re always going to be “in.”Honestly, the only reason not to wear old loafers at a certain  party is
because other people would be offended and feel that we are not honoring
them by having on a more expe nsive pair of shoes. On the other hand, we
might have expensive shoes we wear all the time, including gardening,
because we love the suppleness and softness of the leather and the beauty of
the craftsmanship.
If we look at some of the curren t handbags, for instance, we’ll notice that
some are as unattractive as can be. The only reason people buy them is that
they have the name of a famous designer on them and everyone will
recognize that they paid a lot of money for it. Intrinsically the bag is
dreadful indeed,  just as short skirt lengths are not becoming on all women.
One could walk around with a smudge on one’s face all day if one wants;
however, that would be setting up sort of a problem for oneself, wouldn’ t it?
Life is difficult enough withou t putting our worst foot forward, and the
world doesn’ t need us to advertise the downside. If one is tone-deaf, it’s
probably not too wise to sing loudly at church, but hum quietly under one’s
breath. Not out of guilt, shame, or embarrassment, but out of sheer respect
for the beauty of the space and the occasion. The main argument against
inappropriateness is that it is unloving, uncaring, inconsiderate,
unbeauteous, and ungraceful.
The last characteristic of the truly successful, very top person is an
overall grace. Even their artlessness, naïveté, or clumsiness is done within
an overall context of grace. It’s almost as though unconsciously they know
when it is most graceful to be awkward. That sheer awkwardness is what
sets other people at ease.
How often will we think back in our lives to a time where we have
suddenly pretended we had forgotten something, or were flustered or
something and the sole purpose was to put the other person at ease? That
was a good space from which to come. That consideration for others brings
with it automatic grace. To have  it is to be a cork. To not have it is to be a
sinker.
OceanofPDF.comEASY WINNER
Success is neither something that we have nor something that we do. It is
the automatic consequence of what we are. Accordingly, the place to look
for it is within and not outside  ourselves in the world. If it is ABC that
results in A→ B→ C, then we see why success can be elusive, because
everyone is looking externally outside themselves and trying to manipulate
the world without knowing where to look. Our lives and what we
accomplish are merely the outcome of what we truly are within ourselves.
This truth is what makes our work easy.
Let’s return to the analogy of a reed in the water. By puttin g talcum
powder on the water, we can see the total change in its pattern  by simply
placing a reed in the path of the stream. Similarly, in steering a ship, if we
change our direction only one degree on the compass, after a few days of
sailing we will be hundreds and hundreds of miles from where we would
have been had we not shifted our course that little bit; thus, a slight shift in
inner attitude can have an enormous consequence in our lives.
What facilitates the ease of the transition from failure to success, or from
success to great success, or from great success to super success, is that there
is an automatic-feedback mechanism initiated when we shift our own inner
attitudes even the slightest. This feedback mechanism means that our
energies become replenished. We become repaid for our efforts so that the
whole process becomes pleasu rable and an enjoyable unfolding of new
discoveries. We realize the inner pleasure of watching ourselves grow and
prosper. This whole process involves a few understandings and simple
steps.The first understanding that is very important to grasp is: We strengthen
within ourselves  the identical things that we strengthen in others.  This
clinical factor has enormous implications. The obvious concl usion to be
drawn, then, is the principle of constantly supporting that which  is positive
in others. We say that some people are negative and other people are
positive, as though it was just accidental. It is not accidental at all. It is the
easily observab le demonstration of the clinical fact that we strengthen
within ourselves the identical things that we strengthen in others. If we
listen to people’ s conversations, we will hear some engaging  in gossip,
describing all the negative facts they can about other people ’s lives, or
about world events. What they don’t realize is that they are reinforcing
these very same things within themselves.
When I was very young I had a grandmother who was described by
everyone as saintly. I remembe r that she used to say, “If you haven’ t got
something good  to say about anyone, then don’t say anythin g at all.” I
puzzled over this for a long time. It was only when I had become clinically
experienced after many years of doing psychotherapy, where I could see the
results of these principles in operation, that I began to understand what she
meant.
Do we really trust friends who


	our	elected	officers	and	public	protectors	doing	while	all	this	wholesale

poisoning	is	going	on?	Are	the	extremely	wealthy	manufacturers	the	only	ones

to	be	"protected"	in	their	game	of	"grab	and	stab"?

FORMALDEHYDE	IN	MILK	has	been	reported	as	a	cause	of	polio.	Australian

Medical	Gazette,	(Aug.	24,	1897)	states	that	"formalin,"	an	aqueous	solution	of

formaldehyde,	caused	paralysis	in	some	who	drank	milk	that	contained	it.	Our

U.S.	Government	permits	the	dairymen	to	add	formaldehyde	to	milk	so	that

stale,	inferior	milk	may	be	sold	as	fresh	milk.	Formaldehyde	is	a	poisonous

embalming	fluid	that	is,	no	doubt,	one	of	the	causes	of	the	epidemics	of	diarrhea

and	death	among	the	bottle	fed	infants	in	hospitals.

The	Lancet	(Jan.	9,	1915)	mentions	an	epidemic	of	polio	that	was	said	to	have

been	caused	by	raw	milk.	It	has	never	been.	proved	that	raw	milk	has	ever

caused	polio	or	undulant	fever	or	any	other	disease	but	the	added	poison

preservatives	could	cause	many	diseases.	Pasteurization	companies	capitalized

on	this	incident	to	stampede	some	laws	into	operation	which	would	prohibit	the

sale	of	raw	(unprocessed)	milk.

Pasteurization	makes	matters	even	worse	because	the	heating	process	melts	the
	butterfat	in	the	milk	and	this	coats	the	calcium	globules	and	renders	the	calcium

assimilable	to	a	large	extent.

From	the	Journal	of	Biochemistry,	(Vol.	75,	pp.	251-62.	Oct.,	1927)	we	read:

"In	the	Nutrition	Laboratory	of	the	Dept.	of	Home	Economics	of	the	University

of	Chicago,	in	1927,	experimentation	revealed	that	only	about	27%	of	the

calcium	in	pasteurized	milk	and	30%	of	evaporated	milk	was	retained	in	the

body."

Rats	fed	on	pasteurized	milk	grew	at	only	half	the	normal	rate	and	developed

various	ailments	and	died	early.	Calves	fed	on	pasteurized	milk	died	before

maturity	in	9	out	of	10	cases.

Dr.	Royal	Lee	of	the	Lee	Foundation	of	Nutritional	Research,	Milwaukee,	stated:

"I	offer	the	sum	of	$1,000	to	anyone	who	can	offer	evidence	acceptable	to	the

average	jury	that	pasteurization	has	not	affected	the	nutritional	values	of	milk	to

the	extent	that	it	is	incapable	of	maintaining	the	tooth	and	bone	structures	of	the

test	animals."

The	Salk	vaccine	also	has	formaldehyde	added	to	the	poison	decomposed

protein	from	which	the	vaccine	was	made,	which	adds	to	its	toxicity.

MERCURY,	which	is	freely	used	in	the	practice	of	medicine,	especially	in	the

treatment	of	venereal	diseases,	is	reported	to	have	caused	many	cases	of	polio.

"Gonorrhea	the	crippler"	is	an	advertising	"scare	head"	term	that	is	used	to

terrorize	"suspects"	into	the	treatment	offices.	The	crippling	is	usually	done	by

the	treatment	and	not	the	disease	itself.	On	a	simple	fasting	and	correct	diet

program	the	disease	heals	the	same	as	other	conditions,	when	not	interfered	with

by	suppressive	medical	measures.

SOLANIN,	a	poison	that	is	formed	in	frozen	potatoes	was	found	to	be	the	cause

of	an	epidemic	in	Ireland.	The	disease	had	polio-like	reactions	but	was	called

remittent	fever.	Old,	sprouting	potatoes	and	those	that	have	been	exposed	to	the

sun	in	the	growing	period	until	the	skin	was	green	were	also	found	to	contain

this	toxic	substance.

UNRIPE	FRUIT	and	ERGOT	from	some	types	of	rye	have	caused
	gastrointestinal	disturbances	which	affected	the	nerves,	spinal	cord	and	brain	and

caused	a	form	of	polio.	A	diet	excessively	high	in	grains	(especially	milled

grains)	has	been	followed	by	deficiencies	that	terminated	in	polio	as	was

reported	by	Stockman	and	Johnson	in	the	Journal	of	Nutrition,	(Nov.,	1934).

NEGATIVE	EMOTIONS	such	as	fear,	anger,	hatred,	jealousy,,	anxiety	etc.

release	adrenaline	or	generate	other	poisons	that	irritate	the	nerves	or	impede

circulation	and	poison	the	cells	just	the	same	as	injected	poisons.	The	fear	of

polio	or	any	other	disease	can	help	to	develop	it.	On	the	other	hand	a	clean	body

and	happy	state	of	mind	can	help	immunize	against	it.

FOUR	POISONS	IN	WHITE	BREAD

In	the	very	early	days	when	bread	was	made	from	freshly	ground	whole	grains	it

could	rightly	be	called	the	staff	of	life	because	it	could	sustain	life.	But	our

present	day	commercialized	bread	is	stripped	of	its	vital	life	elements	when	the

heart,	the	germ	and	the	outer	coatings	with	all	the	valuable	minerals	are	removed

in	the	milling	and	processing	of	the	flour.	In	addition	to	this	devitalizing	step,

four	poisons	are	added	to	make	a	defective	product	salable,

1)	Agene	a	bleach	as	poisonous	as	Clorox	or	any	other	washday	chlorine	bleach

is	added	to	flour	to	make	it	whiter—as	if	that	matters.	Dr.	Scobey’s	research

department	states	that	"It	has	recently	been	discovered	that	white	bread,	which

has	been	treated	with	the	bleaching	agent	nitrogen	trichioride,	(agene)	produces

in	dogs	epilepsy	identical	with	the	human	disease...The	disease	in	dogs	has	been

described	in	the	past	as	‘canine	hysteria,’	(rabies)	‘running	fits,’	or	‘fright

disease’	and	it	was	attributed	by	some	scientists	to	an	infectious	agent,	possibly	a

virus..."	The	poisoning	is	obvious	and	yet	they	try	to	blame	the	condition	onto	a

virus.

2)	Poison	insecticides	are	added	to	keep	the	bugs	out.	The	bugs	are	the	lesser	of

the	two	evils—they	are	not	poison	and	they	are	large	enough	to	be	seen	and	can

be	avoided	but	the	poison	is	invisible.	This	poison	in	bread	has	been	found	to

cause	paralysis	of	the	hind	legs	in	experimental	dogs.	Because	whole	wheat	flour

is	more	nourishing	and	therefore	more	attractive	to	insects,	about	four	times	as

much	of	the	insecticide	is	added	to	this	flour.	Most	of	the	Health	Food	Stores

carry	unprocessed	flour	and	bread.	If	"safe"	bread	is	not	available	people	should

grind	their	own	flour	or	avoid	bread.

	3)	Alum	and	other	harmful	dough	conditioners	are	added	to	baker’s	bread.

4)	When	the	natural	vitamin	B	is	removed	from	the	flour	and	the	synthetic

vitamin	B	is	added	the	advertiser’s	claim	it	is	"enriched"	with	vitamin	B;	but	it	is

actually	poisoned	by	this	coal	tar	product	that	is	not	a	true	vitamin.	In	Canada	it

is	a	prison	offense	for	a	miller	or	a	baker	to	add	synthetic	vitamin	B


. Each of us is a spirit in material
form. A powerful image for this spiritual truth is the way light interacts
with a prism.
When a beam of white light goes through a prism, the prism’ s
crystalline structure refracts the exiting light so that it appears as a
rainbow spectrum. Each color, though a component of the white light, is
seen separately because of its unique frequency. If you reverse this
process by projecting a rainbow spectrum through the crystal, the
individual frequencies will recombine, forming a beam of white light.
Think of each human being’ s identity as an individual color frequency
within the rainbow spectrum. If we arbitrarily eliminate a specific
frequency, a color, because we don’ t “like it,” and then try to put the
remaining frequencies back through the prism, the exiting beam will no
longer be white light. By definition, white light is composed of all  of the
frequencies.
Many spiritual people anticipate the return of White Light to the
planet. They imagine that it will come in the form of a unique individual
like Buddha, Jesus, or Muhammad. However, from my newly acquired
spirituality, I see that White Light will only return to the planet when
every human being recognizes every other human being as an individual
frequency of the White Light. As long as we keep eliminating or
devaluing other human beings we have decided we don’ t like, i.e.,
destroying frequencies of the spectrum, we will not be able to experience
the White Light. Our job is to protect and nurture each human frequency
so that the White Light can return.
F r a c t a l  E v o l u t i o n — A  T h e o r y  W e  C a n  L i v e  W i t hI’ve explained why I am now a spiritual scientist. Now I’d like to
explain why I am an optimist. The story of evolution is, I believe, a story
of repeating patterns. W e are at a crisis point, but the planet has been
here before. Evolution has been punctuated with upheavals, which
virtually wiped out existing species, including the best-known casualties,
the dinosaurs. Those upheavals were directly linked to environmental
catastrophes just as today’ s crisis is. As the human population increases,
we are competing for space with the other or ganisms with whom we
share the planet. But the good news is that similar pressures in the past
have brought into being a new way of living and will do so again. W e are
concluding one evolutionary cycle and preparing to embark upon
another. As this cycle comes to an end, people are becoming
understandably apprehensive and alarmed by the failures in the
structures that support civilization. I believe, however, that the
“dinosaurs” that are currently raping nature will become extinct. The
survivors will be those who realize that our thoughtless ways are
destructive to the planet and to us.
How can I be so sure? My certitude comes from my study of fractal
geometry. Here’ s a definition of geometry, which will explain why it is
important for studying the structure of our biosphere. Geometry is a
mathematical assessment of “the way the dif ferent parts of something fit
together in relation to each other.” Until 1975, the only geometry
available for study was Euclidean, which was summarized in the
thirteen-volume ancient Greek text, The Elements of Euclid,  written
around 300 B.C. For spatially oriented students, Euclidian geometry is
easy to understand because it deals with structures like cubes and spheres
and cones that can be mapped on graph paper.
However, Euclidian geometry does not apply to nature. For example,
you cannot map a tree, a cloud, or a mountain using the mathematical
formulas of this geometry. In nature, most or ganic and inor ganic
structures display more irregular and chaotic-appearing patterns. These
natural images can only be created by using the recently discovered
mathematics called fractal geometry. French mathematician Benoit
Mandelbrot launched the field of fractal mathematics and geometry in
1975. Like quantum physics, fractal (fractional) geometry forces us to
consider those irregular patterns, a quirkier world of curvy shapes and
objects with more than three dimensions.The mathematics of fractals is amazingly simple because you need
only one equation, using only simple multiplication and addition. The
same equation is then repeated ad infinitum. For example, the
“Mandelbrot set” is based on the simple formula of taking a number,
multiplying it by itself and then adding the original number. The result of
that  equation is then used as the input of the subsequent equation; the
result of that equation is then used as the input for the next equation and
so on. The challenge is that even though each equation follows the same
formula, these equations must be repeated millions of times to actually
visualize a fractal pattern. The manual labor and time needed to complete
millions of equations prevented early mathematicians from recognizing
the value of fractal geometry. W ith the advent of powerful computers
Mandelbrot was able to define this new math.
Inherent in the geometry of fractals is the creation of ever -repeating,
“self-similar” patterns nested within one another. Y ou can get a rough
idea of the repeating shapes by picturing the eternally popular toy, hand-
painted Russian nesting dolls. Each smaller structure is a miniature, but
not necessarily an exact version of the lar ger form. Fractal geometry
emphasizes the relationship between the patterns in a whole structure and
the patterns seen in parts of a structure. For example, the pattern of twigs
on a branch resembles the pattern of limbs branching of f the trunk. The
pattern of a major river looks like the patterns of its smaller tributaries.
In the human lung, the fractal pattern of branching along the bronchus
repeats in the smaller bronchioles. The arterial and venous blood vessels
and the peripheral nervous system also display similar repeating patterns.
Are the repetitive images observed in nature simply coincidence? I
believe the answer is definitely “no.” T o explain why I believe fractal
geometry defines the structure of life, let’ s revisit two points.
First, the story of evolution is, as I’ve emphasized many times in this
book, the story of ascension to higher awareness. Second, in our study of
the membrane, we defined the receptor -ef fector protein complex (IMPs)
as the fundamental unit of awareness/ intelligence. Consequently, the
more receptor -ef fector proteins (the olives in our bread and butter
sandwich model) an or ganism possesses, the more awareness it can have
and the higher it is on the evolutionary ladder.
However, there are physical restrictions for increasing the number of
receptor -ef fector proteins that can be packed into the cell’ s membrane.The cell membrane’ s thickness measures seven to eight nanometers, the
diameter of its phospholipid bilayer. The average diameter of the
receptor -ef fector “awareness” proteins is approximately the same as the
phospholipids in which they are embedded. Because the membrane’ s
thickness is so tightly defined, you can’ t cram in lots of IMPs by
stacking them on top of one another. Y ou’re stuck with a one-protein-
thick layer. Consequently, the only option for increasing the number of
awareness proteins is to increase the surface area of the membrane.
Let’ s go back to our membrane “sandwich” model. More olives mean
more awareness—the more olives you can layer in the sandwich, the
smarter the sandwich. Which has more intelligence capacity, a slice of
cocktail rye or a lar ge slab of sour dough? The answer is simple: the
lar ger the surface area of the bread, the greater the number of olives that
can fit into the sandwich. Relating this analogy to biological awareness,
the more membrane surface area the cell has, the more protein “olives” it
can manage. Evolution, the expansion of awareness, can then be
physically defined by the increase of membrane surface area.
Mathematical studies have found that fractal geometry is the best way to
get the most surface area (membrane) within a three-dimensional space
(cell). Therefore, evolution becomes a fractal af fair. Repeating patterns
in nature are a necessity, not a coincidence, of “fractal” evolution.
My point is not to get caught up in the mathematical details of the
modeling. There are repetitive fractal patterns in nature and in evolution
as well. The strikingly beautiful, computer -generated pictures that
illustrate fractal patterns should remind us that, despite our modern angst
and the seeming chaos of our world, there is order in nature, and there is
nothing truly new under the sun. Evolution’ s repetitive, fractal patterns
allow us to predict that humans will figure out how to expand their
consciousness in order to climb another rung of the evolutionary ladder.
The exciting, esoteric world of fractal geometry provides a mathematical
model that suggests that the “arbitrariness, planlessness, randomness,
and accident” that Mayr wrote about is an outmoded concept. In fact, I
believe it is an idea that does not serve humanity and should, as rapidly
as possible, go the way of the pre-Copernican Earth-centered universe.
Once we realize that there are repeating, ordered
