 Jesus incarnated in Hungary as Anna.
 Alien V isitors
 Presently 21 alien races live more or less permanently on our planet. Some are frequent visitors for a limited time while others are
from planets that have been destroy ed and they have nowhere to go. Most of these do not need oxygen for energy production, and
therefore were able to establish bases undersea or even inside the crust of the Earth.
The most frequent visiting races are creations of God Jelenek, the Third Son. There are two races of Greys, both are mainly
transiting, but the 1.2 m tall humanoid form also maintains a colony at the coastal shelf of the ocean. The 1.5 m tall greyish-green
race comes here only for the purpose of observation.
A race created by God Jelim, the Fourth Son, looks like European men with olive-brown skin, or a little bluish, and round black eyes.
They have a loving disposition towards Earth, and also lived here permanently millions of years ago. Originally they were from
Sagittarius but their solar system perished, and now they have nowhere else to go. They have spaceships but rarely use them.
Another race looks similar, somewhat more like Nordic types and with angular shaped eyes. They are somewhat more violent and
selﬁsh, but not aware of it themselves. They come from the Pleiades with four inhabited planets. Both of these races maintain
settlements in the crust of the Earth and the bottom of the sea.
Humanoids created by God Jolamda, the Second Son, live here permanently under the sea because their home planet was
destroyed. They are only 50 cm tall, very hard and with claw-like ﬁngers. They only rarely have contact with Earth humans.
The creations of God Jele, the ﬁrst son, are 3-4 m tall but on Earth they disguise themselves by materialising different bodies shaped
at will. In addition there are many visitors from all the different empires who travel here in their soul and materialise bodies from local
matter.
A main problem of some visiting races is their increasing inability to procreate so that they are faced with extinction. Some resort to
cloning but that only increases the problem down the track. They are intrigued by our strong procreative abilities and study us to ﬁnd
our secret so that they may regenerate themselves. This can lead to abductions and sexual interference.
The following advice was given by God Jehovah in regard to alien visitors who try to interfere with us. When sensing a very strange
feeling or situation, especially when not being able to move, strongly focus on God Jehovah. Suck away the energy from the alien
visitor(s), accumulate it inside yourself, and then hurl it back at the visitor(s) with the mental order that they should ﬂee from here
because this is God Jehovah’ s domain. The ability to do this may be acquired by practising spiritual yoga or using the mind to work
with energies. - #06381f
Afterthought
You may ask why a new revelation was given speciﬁcally at this time. My understanding is that there was always a need to replace
earlier religion-based revelations by one based on scientiﬁc understanding, including the nature of the soul and of our energy bodies.
Such advanced revelation was simply not possible until now; it would not have been understood. Even now few will be able to
understand all of it, but the intellectual ability is now sufﬁciently advanced that large parts of it can be understood with sufﬁcient ef fort.10/30/24, 4:58 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Life & the Universe - History & Future
https://health-science-spirit.com/Science_%26_Spirituality/Life-%26-the-Universe-History-Future-Part2.html 4/5However, there is another compelling reason. In light of the expected next catastrophe it is highly desirable to have this knowledge
available to as many advanced souls as possible. Should it come to a near wipe-out then such advanced souls can incarnate with
this important knowledge and help the newly developing culture to progress much faster. Further, a sufﬁciently positive response in
the near future may also lessen any expected catastrophe and give us more breathing space afterwards.
One last thought: I also understand  that the timing and nature of this revelation is not a spur of the moment event, but rather has
been planned and prepared for thousands of years.

by W alter Last
Every event provides an opportunity for spiritual growth.
In order to become more whole and healed on all levels of our being we need to improve ourselves on all of these levels. Complete
healing is not possible by working on just one level. As an example, assume that you are badly overweight. Mustering a lot of
willpower you start a diet and are quite successful in losing a sizeable amount of weight. The problem is that after some months it
slowly creeps back up again and after a year your weight is again where it started.
Eventually you come across some emotional release workshops and ﬁnd that these, together with a sensible diet, are more effective
to lose weight and keep it off. Never theless, you may ﬁnd it difﬁcult to keep your emotions under control because you still continue to
react in undesirable ways. Now you discover that you are inﬂuenced by various negative beliefs that make life difﬁcult for you.
You realize that you need an appropriate belief system in order to manage your emotions in an appropriate way. You start looking for
a philosophy of life that helps you to become and remain healthy, happy and ﬁt. This is where the spiritual dimension comes in. You
will ﬁnd that the more you adopt spiritual principles in your life, the more life will become an adventure or a pleasure rather than a
struggle.
More than any other level, our emotions determine how we feel about ourselves and life in general. Our emotions are not only a
result of our social interactions, but also of so-called higher and lower levels of energy and consciousness. On the lower level we
have the inﬂuences of nutrition, exercise and other lifestyle factors, while  from the higher level there is a strong effect from our belief
system.
To give an example we may look at the perception of death. If someone believes that after death he is likely to end up in something
like hell as described in some religions, he may inwardly panic at the thought of impending death. Even for an atheist the thought of
total annihilation may be frightening. On the other hand someone who believes that life after death is more pleasant than that on
earth may look forward to the time of death with eager anticipation. The fact of death remains the same for all but our emotional
response to it is conditioned by our belief.
Most of us have developed our belief systems haphazardly from our parents, school and social contacts as well as books and mass
media. These beliefs are often irrational and detrimental for us.
In order to heal our emotions, as well as all other levels of our being it is essential to adopt a suitable philosophy of life to guide us in
this quest. I call this a spiritual philosophy. The various religions appear to have different spiritual philosophies. These differences are
most pronounced at the mental level of dogmas and doctrines, while they tend to disappear at the level of the highest ideals of each
religion.
In all major religions some followers have aimed for these highest ideals. They are the mystics who left us in their writings a spiritual
philosophy that transcends and unites

T he fo llowing BOL T measuremen t and exercises are explained in  detail in
earlier chapters.
  Body Oxygen Level T est (BOL T)
1.    Nose Unblocking Exercise
2.    Breathe Light to Breathe Right
3.       Breathe Light to Breathe Right—Jogging, Running, or Any Other
Activity
4.    Breathing Recovery, Improved Concentration
5.    Simulate High-Altitude T raining—W alking
6.    Simulate High-Altitude T raining—Running, Cycling, Swimming
7.    Advanced Simulation of High-Altitude T raining
Body Oxygen Level T est (BOL T)
Y our pr ogr ess  c an be determi ned by a reduction to breathlessness during
physical exercise, how you feel, and your BOL T scor e  as follows:1.       T ake a  small, silent breath in through your nose, and allow a
small, silent breath out through your nose.
2.       Hold y our nose with your fing ers to prevent air from entering
your lungs.
3.       Count the num ber of seconds until you feel the first definite
desire to breathe.
4.       At the  first definite desire to b reathe in, you may also feel the
first involuntary  movements of your breathing muscles. (Y our
abdomen may jerk and the a rea around your neck may
contract.)
5.    Release your nose and breathe in through it.
6.    Y our inhalation at the end of the breath should be calm.
Y our BOL T  score is the length of time in seconds that you are able to
hold you r breath  until you feel the first physical signals to take a breath. T o
increase your BOL T score, it is necessary to:
•   N ose-breathe at all times, in cluding during physical exercise
and sleep.
•  A void taking lar ge breaths while sighing, yawning, and talking.
•   Practice Oxygen Advantage exercises appropriate to your
health and fitness.By incorporating the Oxygen Advantage exercises into your routine,
your BOL T score should increase by 3 to 4 seconds during the first week.
After co ntinued practice for a n umber of weeks, you may find your BOL T
score remains stubbornly at ab out 20 seconds. Continue to p ractice and
incorporate breath holds into your physical exercise to increase your BOL T
score above 20 seconds. It can take 6 months for an individual to reach a
BOL T s core of 40 seconds, but  by then your health and fitness levels will
be at a totally dif ferent place than before. Enjoy the journey!
1. Nose Unblocking Exer cise
( Please do not practice this exe r cise if your BOL T scor e is less than 10
seconds, or if yo u ar e pr egnant or have high blood pr essur e, car diovascular
issues, diabetes, or any serious health concerns. )
T o unblock the nose, perform the following:
1.       T ake a small, silent breath in  and a small, silent breath out
through your nose.
2.    Pinch your nose with your fingers to hold your breath.3.       W alk as many paces as possible with your breath held. T ry to
build up a strong air shortage, without overdoing it, of course!
4.       When you resume breathing, do so only through your nose;
your breathing must be calmed immediately.
5.       After resumin g your breathing, your first breath will usually
be bigg er than  normal. Make sure that you calm your
breathing as soon as possible by  suppressing your second and
third breaths.
6.       Y ou should be able to reco ver your breath within 2 to 3
breaths. If you cannot, you have held your breath for too long.
7.    W ait for about a minute or so and then repeat.
8.    Repeat this exercise 5 or 6 times until the nose is decongested.
2. Br eathe Light to Br eathe Right
1.       P lace one han d on your ches t and the other just above your
navel to help you to follow your breathing.
2.    Breathe in and gently guide your abdomen outward.3.    Breathe out and gently guide your abdomen inward.
4.       Observe your  breathing pattern, noting the size and depth of
each breath.
5.       Apply gentle pressure with yo ur hands to slightly reduce your
breathing movements. It should feel as if you are breathing
against your hands.
6.    Encourage the depth of each breath to reduce.
7.    T ake in a smaller or shorter breath than you would like.
8.       A llow a relaxed breath out, exhaling gently, slowly, and
easily.
9.    Bring a feeling of relaxation to your breathing.
10.   Do  not tense your body, hold your breath, or pause your
breathing. Continue to breathe smoothly but take in less air
than before.
11.   The obje ctive of this exercise i s to create a tolerable hunger
for a ir. T ry to sustain this for 3 to 5 minutes at a time. If your
breathing rhythm becomes chaotic or if your breathing
muscles contrac t, then the air shortage you have created is too
much. If these s igns occur, stop the exercise and return to it
when breathing is back to normal.
3. Br ea the Light to Br eathe Right— Jogging, Run ning, or Any
Other Activity
No matt er what  type of exercis e you prefer, make sure that you observe
your breath and become awar e of your inner body. Bring your entire
attention from your mind into your body. Move with every cell of your
body, from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.Allow your body to find its perfect work rate by breathing through your
nose in a steady and regular fas hion. Continue to increase your pace to the
point wh ere you can maintain s teady and regular nasal breathing. If your
breathing rhythm becomes chaotic and it is necessary to open your mouth to
breathe, you will know that the intensity is too much. If nece ssary, slow
your pace to a walk for 2 to 3 minutes before resuming your jog.
As you run, fe el each gentle connection between your feet and the
ground as you p ropel yourself forward. A void pounding the pavement as
this will  lead to sore hips and joints and other possible injuries. Instead,
bring a feeling of lightness to  your body and visualize yourself barely
touching the ground as your run. Imagine yourself running over thin twigs,
treading so softly that they do n ot break. The mantra to follow is: light foot
strikes, a relaxed body, and regular, steady breathing.
If you keep your  mouth closed t hroughout your exercise, your breathing
will recover quickly.
4. Br eathing Recovery, Impr oved Concentration
T o recover from physical exercise and to help calm your breathing or mind,
practice the following exercise for 3 to 5 minutes:
1.    Exhale as normal through the nose.
2.       Pinch your nose with your fingers to hold the breath for 2 to 5
seconds.
3.    Breathe normally through the nose for 10 seconds.
4.    Repeat the first three steps.
Important Note Regarding the “Simulate High-Altitude
T raining” Exer cises That Follow
Please do not practice any exer cise that simulates high-
altitude training if your BOL T scor e is less than 20 seconds (or
less than 30 seconds for advanced simulation of high-altitude
training) or if you ar e pr egnan t, have high blood pr essur e or
other car diovascular issues, have diabetes, or have any serious
health c oncerns. While these exer cises involve the cr eation of a
medium to str ong air hunger, th er e is no point in over doing it.
Upon co mpletion of each br eath hold, you should be able to
r ecover your br eathing within 2 to 3 br eaths. If while practicing
these exer cises, you experience dizziness or any other negative
side effect, then please stop immediately.
5. Simulate High-Altitude T raining—W alking
If you have a p ulse oximeter, you might find it motivating to observe the
decrease to your oxygen saturation as you do this. Continue walking
throughout the exercise and hold your breath only until you feel a medium
hunger for air for the first 2 to  3 breath holds. For the remaining breathholds, it is bene ficial to hold the breath until you feel a relat ively strong
hunger for air.
1.    W alk for 1 minute or so while breathing through your nose.
2.       Gently exhale and hold your br eath, followed by minimal
br eathing for 15 seconds:  G ently exhale

 The ability to isolate imbalances through their alkaline/acid characteristics as well as at the particular
level of their biological organization would prove to be quite useful.
Although he had chemical agents to attack both acid and alkaline tumors as early as the late 1930‘s,
he encountered a problem with most of his patients in that during the course of treatment their lab
results would switch t o the opposite side. That is, acid pain patterns would switch to alkaline pain
patterns, with their corresponding lab results, and vice versa. Although treatment would be stopped,
the patient would sometimes continue to get worse and would often die. Revic i included two cases in
his book that date back to the 1930‘s that illustrate the challenge.
In one case a patient bedridden with cancer in both his lungs recovered quickly. After less than two
months of treatment with fatty acids, the sixty -sixyear-old man went horseback riding. He continued
the same treatment for two more months until the condition took a sudden turn for the worse. Two
weeks later he would die from an accumulation of fluid in his lungs.
A sixty -eight -year-old woman fared better. Her Grade IV breast cancer — the worst of four staging
categories — had attacked the bones of her legs, hips, ribs, spine and skull. These types of cases are
the bane of cancer medicine because little can be done except to try, most often quite unsuccessfully,
to decrease the patient‘s pain. Yet, with the application of the proper lipids in this case, the woman‘s
pain gradually lessened and disappeared. Within five months all of the patient‘s bones had healed, and
she was discharged from the hospital. After no treatment for more than two years, she was examined
again. According to Revici, she showed no signs of her previous condition, and, ―[s]ubsequently,
because of the war [World War II], I lost contact with her.‖
The above case is merely an anecdotal account, if one is inclined to lean in that direction. Yet it is an
anecdotal account with enough chemical changes to make numerous bones solid while causing the
tumors to disappear — thus it could be said that it is a  good anecdotal account. Good anecdotal
accounts have been the basis for the discoveries made by such great scientists as Pasteur, Fleming,
Semmelweis and many others. The ability to ignore a good anecdotal account is a key trait of the
mediocre scientist.
With the ability to monitor pH levels, specific gravity and other indicators, Revici started to modify the
choice of lipids used based on the patient‘s lab tests. It is not clear from the record when Revici first
began to switch from one type of lipid t o its opposite when a patient‘s lab results switched. The first
case history where he mentions doing so occurred in 1942, in Mexico. It‘s quite likely that the switching
technique took place much earlier, however, because of his ability to monitor specific  gravity by 1938
and urinary pH earlier still.
The 1942 case provides a dramatic example of the success obtained by monitoring and switching,
nonetheless. In her seventies, a nearly comatose woman‘s deeply sallow skin color made her a poor
candidate for s urvival. She had a stomach tumor and a liver tumor which reached all the way down  61
 to her groin area. After more than a month of steady improvement from the treatment, she took a
sudden turn for the  worse. Revici wrote, ―Analysis at this time showed the opposite off -balance
present.‖ At that time her treatment was changed, and she continued to improve once again. Her liver,
once ballooned beyond belief, was back to normal size within one year. She di ed nine years later, at
the age of 83, of a heart attack.
This adjusting back and forth to his patients‘ ―off -balance‖ was implemented time and time again. By
monitoring the patients and changing the medicine accordingly, good results often followed. Rev ici‘s
individualized approach towards treatment was a novelty at the time and flew directly in the face of
the strict cookie cutter regimens that had become de rigeur  at that time and that have only recently
seen any modification. While conventional medici ne saw his approach as one of chasing after
placebo effects, Revici saw conventional medicine‘s adherence to strict regimens as unscientific.
Another related approach that proved effective was to give a combination of different fatty acids to
patients wi th alkaline lesions and a combination of sterols to patients with an acidic lesions.
For example, there was the case of a woman with a Grade III abdominal cancer. Two tumors, eight
inches in diameter, ―gave her distended abdomen a very irregular appearan ce,‖ Revici reported. After
three weeks of treatment with the sterol of cholesterol, no improvement was seen. Her medication was
changed to glycerol, another sterol. Another three weeks passed without any noticeable improvement.
At that time both the chole sterol and the glycerol were administered together. The combination
brought rapid results. Within a month the obvious abdominal tumors were no longer evident to the
touch. A noncancerous ovarian cyst was located and removed surgically. At the time of the s urgery
only white patches were found where the tumors had lain before. ―There were no recurrences during
several years of follow -up, after which we lost track of the patient,‖ Revici wrote.
For reasons that will be explained in a later chapter, the above approach of using multiple lipids often
produced beneficial results where a single medicine had not.
When Revici received the annual medal from the Society for the Promotion of International Relations on
November 13, 1961, he presented a lecture touching on the highlights of his discoveries. In that speech
he told of the results achieved with one of his patients. The example is worth rendering almost in its
entirety here because it demonstrates the direct relationship between the application of treatment o f the
off-balance and the improvement of the patient:
―We first saw a patient, Mrs. M. B., in a terminal stage with a
tumor of the ovary and multiple metastases in the liver, spleen,
intestine and [the abdominal lining] as revealed by an exploratory
[surgery]. Biopsy proved it to be an adeno -carcinoma. Our
analysis indicated an off -balance requiring agents with a negative
polar group. The result of their administration was good. The
massive tumors disappeared and  the patient resumed a normal,
active life.
―Unaware of her condition, and against our advice, she stopped the treatment. Two years later there
was a recurrence of the condition. A [large tumor below her diaphragm] and a large tumor in her lower 62
 abdomen brought her rapidly to a pre -terminal stage. A biopsy was performed and revealed the same
tumor. In view of the good results obtained the first time, treatment was started again with the same
agents, in spite of the fact that the analysis now showed an opposite off -balance present. The
immediate result  however was totally unfavorable subjectively and objectively. We changed
consequently to the opposite agents, with a positive polar group this time, as indicated by the analysis.
The condition was once again well controlled, the new masses disappearing, a nd the patient once
more resuming a normal life.
―Still unaware of her condition, the patient continued the treatment
— but at very irregular intervals. Within a few months a new mass was found in her abdomen. Once
more [an exploratory surgery] was perf ormed showing again an inoperable tumor. A biopsy obtained
from a nearby gland indicated the same tumor.
―The analysis now indicated an off -balance opposite to the second one, that is, similar to that seen the
first time. With the administration of the c orresponding agents, the mass disappeared. At this time the
patient was informed of her condition, and she continued her treatment without interruption. Now, six
years later after her last recurrence and eleven years since we first saw her, she is in perfe ct health.
―We present this case because it shows clearly how important it is to consider the specific off -balance
in order to ensure the selection of the proper agents. Incidentally, we also want to emphasize the direct
relationship between treatment an d the results obtained. The fact that, in this patient, the condition
evolved three times and each time was controlled only when the adequate treatment was instituted,
excludes the possibility of repeated spontaneous remissions.
―In hundreds of cases, the  correlation between treatment and the results obtained has been as direct
as in the case presented above.  Many of our patients with different tumors originating in almost all the
organs, are now clinically free of tumors, living normal lives years after t heir condition had been
considered hopeless. …
―Pre-terminal or even terminal cases are now seen to respond better, that is, more often, more rapidly
and more completely with subjective and objective favorable changes. …
―In spite of all the interesting r esults already obtained, we still look upon our approach as being in its
beginning, especially in its  63
 application in therapy. … Over and beyond the specific results
which have stemmed from this approach, we put it forth here with
considerable confidence as opening the way to an entire field of
further research in clinical science in particular and

information it contains, was once a formless idea residing in the invisible
domain of the field of intention. This book, The Power of Intention, was
intended into the material world by applying all of the principles written
about here. I managed to make my own vibrational energy match up to the
all-creating Source, and allowed these words and ideas to flow through me
directly to you. You’re holding in your hands evidence that anything we can
conceive of in our minds—while staying in harmony with the universal all-
creating Source—can and must come to pass.
If you’d like to know how this book might impact you and how you
might think, feel, and co-create after reading and applying its messages, I
encourage you to read the final chapter, A Portrait of a Person Connected
to the Field of Intention, before beginning this journey. You and everyone
else, as well as all of life, emanated from the universal all-creating field of
intention. Live from that perspective, and you will come to know and apply
the power of intention. You have an endless stream of green lights before
you!

INTENTION
FROM A NEW
PERSPECTIVE
“In the universe there is an immeasurable, indescribable force which
shamans call intent, and absolutely everything that exists in the entire
cosmos is attached to intent by a connecting link.”
— Carlos Castaneda

During the past several years, I’ve been so strongly attracted to studying
intention that I’ve read hundreds of books by psychological, sociological,
and spiritual writers; ancient and modern scholars; and academic
researchers. My research reveals a fairly common definition of intention as
a strong purpose or aim, accompanied by a determination to produce a
desired result. People driven by intention are described as having a strong
will that won’t permit anything to interfere with achieving their inner
desire. I imagine a sort of pit-bull kind of resolve or determination. If
you’re one of those people with a never-give-up attitude combined with an


 the
immunity that takes place when a
decent amount of a population gets
vaccinated or becomes immune
naturally. It interrupts a long chain of
a contagious disease that bops from
person to person, making it less likely
for a susceptible person to come
in contact with it. While there is no
way to vaccinate against a cold, do
not “shelter” yourself, or your kids.
Common sense is good, but if you
try to live in a bubble, you only serve
to weaken your immune system
and become more vulnerable to the
illness, and you make others more
vulnerable as well.
-The cold’s namesake was earned as
it was once thought to be possible to
“catch” a cold when the temperature
drops, which we now know is not
true. Some viruses seem to be more
prominent in certain seasons, which
could account for that theory, as well
as the fact that people spend more
time in confined spaces with each
other when the weather is cold. Try
to your home as well ventilated as
possible. If you get an unusually warm
day in the wintertime, open those
windows!
Elderberry Syrup
-This makes a large batch and allows
you to give it to family and friends as
a nourishing gift come winter time.
Feel free to halve this recipe.
-Use this for the flu as well as colds!
-This will thicken some in the fridge,
but don’t worry if it seems thin to you,
it won’t be nearly as goopy as store
bought syrups.
Chicken Soup
-Chicken has nutrients that can help
with a cold, but feel free to leave it
out if you prefer-it’s still wonderful for
you.
49Copyright 2014 everydayroots.comTips & TroubleshootingThe very first thing I go to when a cold strikes is chicken noodle soup. Cliché? Perhaps, but it is truly a good
remedy-it’s actually one of the most beneficial hot fluids you can consume when you have a cold. The steam
helps loosen mucous, making it easier to expel, along with the virus inside of it. The chicken has cysteines,
a semi-essential amino acid, that helps thin and break down mucous.  Cysteines also have anti-inflammatory
effects that will help you breathe easier. On top of all of that goodness, the soup has easily absorbed nutrients
that nourish your recovering body, and you consume much needed liquid. Of course it’s delicious too. Y ou
can use any recipe in your family (even canned if you don’t have the energy to make any) but I’ve included my
personal favorite recipe.Chicken Soup
-1 small onion
-1 carrot
-1 stalk of celery
-2 tablespoons of grapeseed oil
-6 cups of chicken stock
-Plain boiled or rotisserie chicken
-1 cup of orzo (or your favorite
shape of noodle)
-Parmesan (optional)
-Salt and pepper1. In advance, cook 1 cup of orzo pasta until it is about halfway done-it will finish
cooking in the soup later. Rinse it with cold water, or mix with a little oil if you
are worried about the noodles sticking together.
2. Put 2 tablespoons of neutral oil, such as grapeseed, in a medium sized pot
over medium heat.
3. While the oil heats, dice the onion, chop the celery, peel and thinly slice the
carrot. When the oil is shimmering, add your vegetables and sprinkle with salt
and pepper, stirring occasionally, until they have softened and the onion is
translucent (3-5 minutes.)
4.  Add 6 cups of chicken stock. When the liquid is simmering, add the noodles
and cook until they are tender. A minute or two before taking the soup off the
heat add shredded or chopped cooked chicken. Salt and pepper to taste, and
sprinkle with parmesan if you like (if you haven’t tried this, you should!)

you don’t feel like making it, this is an easy one to turn to that still works quite well. The reasoning behind the
ingredients is the same as the other recipe-the honey acts as a natural expectorant that helps loosen phlegm
or mucous, while the apple cider vinegar is thought to help thin out nasal secretions. Y ou can add a sprinkle of
cinnamon in if you want a little extra kick.Simple Cough Syrup
-1/2 cup of raw, organic, honey
-1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar
-Sprinkle of cinnamon
(optional)
-A little jar with a tightly fitting
lid1. Combine honey and apple cider vinegar and stir until they are
blended thoroughly. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon of you like.
2. Place in a jar with a tightly fitting lid and store for up to a year in a
cool, dark, place. If you add the cinnamon, give it a shake before taking
it as it doesn’t really dissolve and tends to settle on the bottom of the jar.
Adults take 1-2 tablespoons every 4 hours, or as needed. Children over
the age of 4 years take 1-2 teaspoons every 4 hours as needed.
51Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com ColdY ou will need… DirectionsElderberry (Sambucus nigra)* has been around for hundreds of years, and is popular as a remedy for respiratory
illnesses like the cold and flu. Studies have revealed some evidence that naturally occurring chemicals in the
elderflower/berries may help reduce swelling in the mucous membranes (i.e. throat and sinuses) as well as help
relieve congestions.
It has been shown to help shorten the overall duration of colds/some strains of the flu-this was thoroughly tested
when the 1995 flu pandemic in Panama hit. There are store-bought versions available, but making your own is
simple and cost-effective, and you know everything that goes into it. Unless you have experience with pressing
fresh elder (any part of the plant) stick to dried. Fresh can also be toxic if not dealt with properly, as they contain
a chemical that produces cyanide.
*Make sure you are not getting dwarf elder, Sambucus ebulus, which can be toxic in any form. Elderberry Syrup
-6 1/2 cups of fresh water
-1 1/3 cups of dried elderberries
-2 teaspoons of whole, dried,
cloves
-6 sticks of cinnamon or 3
teaspoons of cinnamon powder
-2 cups of raw, organic, honey
-2 tablespoons of ginger powder
(optional)
-A medium saucepan
-A large bowl & strainer
-A mason jar1. First, boil your mason jar to make sure there are no little nasty microbes left
on it. I recommend doing this with this recipe since it is sometimes used over
the course of a whole winter.
2.  In a medium or large saucepan add water, elderberries, cloves, cinnamon,
and ginger (if using.) Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 45 minutes, or
until the liquid is reduced by about half.
3. Remove from heat, let it cool, and pour through a strainer into a large bowl.
Use a large spoon, or clean hands, to press all the extra wonderful juice out.
Y ou’ll be surprised at how much you get!
4. Discard the solids, and thoroughly stir in the honey when the mixture has
cooled almost completely. Store in mason jars and keep refrigerated for up to
4 months. For kids old enough to safely have honey, give ½ -1 teaspoon daily 5
days a week. For adults take 1 tablespoon daily 5 days a week. If you get sick,
take the dose every 3-4 hours to shorten the duration/severity of the illness.
52Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com ColdY ou will need… DirectionsThere isn’t a single person out there that hasn’t experienced the
sniffles, or gotten a nasty cough. Nasal congestion can be caused by
anything that irritates the sensitive tissue in the nasal passage and
causes it to swell. An increase in mucous usually takes place when your
body is trying to fight off the irritant or germ by flushing it out, and the
combination of the two leads to a very stuffy nose. The main culprits
range from allergies to a virus, and anything irritating in between. Chest
congestion happens when mucous builds up in the lungs, and is usually
caused by an illness’s such as bronchitis, the flu, a cold, and even
relatively benign allergies. When you have chest congestion, you don’t
want to take a cough suppressant, but rather an expectorant-something
that helps loosen the mucous to cough it up.Congestion
-It is quite un-extraordinary, but
steam is one of the best ways
to clear out a stuffy nose. Have
you ever noticed that you can
breathe better after a hot shower,
or when you drink a cup of piping
hot tea? That would be the steam
loosening mucous and making
it easier for your body to expel
it. To get the benefits of  steam


, II),
has been tentatively accepted to explain the need for
necessary electrode-equivalent redox sites of the
VICC. The appearances of the basement membrane
around the capillary and t/u endothelial fibrin film,
facing the blood stream, ruggesrs rhar these srrucrures
derive from endogenously droeloped products ar ouur
"electrode" surfaces of redox sites located in the endo
thelial membranes. The material of the basement
membrane leaves an exoendothelial space open toward
the endothelium. This space seems to correspond to the space ("A" zone) around a material under c:ontrac·
tion by its own concentration forces. The underlying
mechanisms are described previously in this chapter in
connection with the analyses of in vivo corrosion in the
presence of a tissue-matrix. The endothelial fibrin ftlm
on the other hand appears different from the basement
membrane, presumably partly due to the modifying
effect of the streaming blood. These "external" prod·
ucts of electrode reactions should have their corre·
sponding "internal", intracellular products of reaction
at the internal redox sites. The vesicles of the endothe·
lial cells are suggested to contain such material. Ions
tend to migrate separated in electrophoretic trans·
ports. It is suggested that the vesicles, visible in elec
tron micrographs, consist of mainly nonionic coUec·
tions of electrode products. An electrogenic, closed
circuit transport, even of pure nonionic material, is
nevertheless possible when the transport is supported
by a charged, intracellular "capillary" matrix. Struc·
tural intracellular elements as fllaments possibly inher·
it such functions. Intracellular transport of nonionic
compounds (e.g., pinocytotic transport of water) may
take place in a way analogous to the mechanism of
Type I electroosmosis (p. 81). Such a mechanism
should then represent an electrogenic, intracellular
transport of energetic compounds in addition to ionic
transports. Experimental support for the development
and transport of vesicles in a matrix is also based on
experimental analogues in Chapters IX, Xlii and
XIV. Another model of vesicular transport is also
suggested based on the formation of clusters ofhydrat·
ed cations.
The capillaries also seem to contain an interesting
mechanism for switching between "short-dhtance"
and "long-distance" VICC transport.
When endothelial clefts (stomata) are open in the
arterial capillaries, short-distance selective, ionic
transports are possible over these leaking pores. Adja
cent to their openings, the "outer electrodes " should
provide electrode reactions and electron transfer to the
"inner electrodes" of the membranou s redox sites and
start ionic and vesicular transports through the cyto·
plasm. By exposing mesentery of dogs to electric
fields it was found that arterioles and arterial capillar·
ies ("arteriocap illaries") contract and appear empty of
blood cells in scattered vascular regions. Simulta·
neously, corresponding venules and venous capillaries
("venocapillaries ") fill with blood, evidently from
collateral circulation from adjacent vascular areas
without arteriocapillary contractions. The venocapil·
!aries fill selectively with large numbers of granulo·
cytes in dog mesentery near the mesenteric electrode,
e.g., at 1-2 V potential difference. Granulocytes also
pass by diapedesis through evidently open venocapil·
lary pores to the interstitial tissue. These observations
point to the creation of long-distance selective VICC transports of material when tissue is exposed to electric
fields. It is suggested that the pericytes may be in·
volved in the mechanism of regional closure of the
pores between the endothelial cells.
The electronegative granulocytes or an anionic com·
pound, e.g., Evans blue dye, are electrophoretically
attracted to the electropositive region of the tissue.
Around an electronegative region in a closed circuit
electronegative cells and compounds are repelled. In
those veins which have their flow directed toward an
electronegative focus, the repelling of granulocytes
and anions in the blood stream causes them to accu·
mulate in these veins. These observations contribute to
the prc:scntation of an alternative explanation of so·
called chemotaxis, which will be further treated in
Chapters XIV and XVI. The behaviour of granulo·
cytes in experimental activation of VICC channels il·
lustrates the capacity of selective transports in tissue of
this particular BCEC system.
Ionization is a characteristic feature in tissue injury.
For example, intravascular thrombosis is a type of
injury which appears not to interrupt the conducting
pathway. Indeed, intravascular conductivity is in·
creased. The physicochemical potential of tissue injury
represents a driving force, which over VICC channels
leads 10 electrophoretic and electroosmotic transports
and eventually to healing of the injury. Even small
gradients of force in biologic material may be expected
to produce significant changes if the "gates" are avail
able, open and the time sufficiently long.
Metabolic reactions not only form new products in
tissue but also new electrochemical gradien ts in BCEC
(VICC) channels. The products diffuse and migrate.
They become dislocated in an electrochemically acti·
vated closed circuit and then easily adsorbed at struc
tural interfaces of tissue matrices in the circuit. In this
way structures such as membranes may develop. The
principle of this mechanism has been outlined for the
development of intraabdominal organ capsules. The
mechanisms of development of many other membrane
structures, including basement membranes, arc little
known but might be similarly explained. In future
searches for analogues to electrodes in tissue, it seems
likely that one of the places where they can be expect·
ed to be found is adjacent to (fibrous) membranes.
Biologically closed electric circuits (BCEC) is here
used as a general term for structures with the capacity
to channelize the exchange of energy in a selective way
over long as well as short distances. In addition to the
vascular-interstitial closed circuit (VICC) outlined in
this study, other circuits can also be anticipated to
exist, e.g., in conducting electrolytes in glandular
ducts, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural and peritoneal fluid
(with or without connection s tO vascular or interstitial
conducting branches). The VICC system may be re·
garded as a circulation for selective transport in tissue
Biologically closed electric circuits 149 closely integrated with the nonselective bulk trans
ports by diffusion and mechanical movement in the
circulatory system. As a group of systems of selective
transport, BCEC systems may be recognized as one of
the pre~equisites for structural development and func
tion of tissue.

Ascended  Master  Love  and  Kindliness,  do people  love  to
be in the Individual's  atmosphere.  It is a Law  of your  Being, 4 THE  "7 AM"  DISCOURSES
which  you  must  come  to recognize  now!  You  cannot  longer
deny  It! Therefore,  Precious  Ones,  will  you  arouse  your-
selves  into  the Fullest  Acknowledgment  of your  "I AM
Presence" ? Then,  It cannot  fail to come  into  action  with
clearness  and  definiteness  in your  own  personal  Self-con-

I wish  to express  this:  "What  the Messengers  do for the
students,  they  do under  Direction.  This  Messenger,  when
He places  his hand  on the student  like  that,  never  places  it
there  of his own  volition.  Remember  this!  Please  don't  urge
Him  to do a thing  which  He does  not feel  impelled  to do!
Please,  Dear  Students,  don't  do those  things  with  each
other,  unless  you  understand  definitely  what  you  are doing.
This  Good  Brother  has been  trained,  as a Dear  and  Definite
Channel  for Our  Operation,  for Our  Work;  and  We have
charged  the activity  to give  him  Joy,  for the Tremendous
service  which  He has rendered.
I want  to say another  word  in commendation.  When  Our
Precious  Messengers  returned  from  Honolulu,  I called  one
into their  midst  and  he has won  a great  Victory.  In humble
loving  kindness  he has served.  So, Dear  Ones,  all of you  as
our Precious  Messenger  told  you  a few  moments  ago,  have
been  chosen—not  only  by your  "Mighty  I AM  Presence,"
but by the Host  of Ascended  Masters;  to be the Vanguard
of This  Great  Perfection,  which  is coming  swiftly  into  the
world  of manifestation  of mankind.  Notice  I say "swiftly."
Today,  or since  New  Year's  Day  a New  and  Greater  Ac-
tivity  is taking  place,  within  every  one  of your  Precious DISCOURSE  III  5
Hearts.  I want  you  to know  this  because,  Dear  Hearts,  what
is the use of telling  something,  unless  you  explain  why  and
what  the effects  are to be. Notice  again,  the Power  of your
attention.  When  I call  your  attention  to an Activity,  it
means  at that  moment  thru  your  attention,  it enables  Us to
do the Thing,  which  is required  to give  you  the Assistance.
Once  you  know  that  and  really  begin  to feel It within  you,
the moment  your  attention  is called  to something,  a Great
Onrush  from  your  Presence  goes  into  action  within  you,  to
produce  the results  which  are required.
Will  you  believe  Me,  when  I tell you,  within  every  one
of you  who  has entered  so earnestly  into  these  Groups  and
those  who  were  in the Shrine  Class,  a Very  Definite  Tre-
mendous  Activity  is going  on within  you?  Never  allow
your  human  self to requalify  anything  which  occurs  within
you, with  anything  but Perfection.  There  is nothing  in this
World  to fear!
I am  getting  quite  personal.  Why  do you  suppose  the
Name  the "Divine  Director"  was  given  to Me? Not  by My-
self or Associates;  but  because  it is My  Privilege  to direct
Certain  Currents  of Energy,  Very  Definite  Light  Sub-

panded  far enough,  great  enough;  then,  it is My Privilege
to set aside  time  and  space  for that  Individual;  so one may
more  quickly  enter  into  Freedom  and  Perfection,  which  the
Expansion  of the Light  within  discloses—please  notice,  I
say, "discloses!"

come  to know  what  it has meant,  in the Provision  having
been  made;  so This  Good  Messenger  has been  enabled  to
receive  Our  Dictations  in This  Manner.  It means  Wonder-
ful Things  to you all!
Will  you  from  this  day  on, never  allow  your  human  self
to feel,  anything  which  has  been  placed  before  you  is un-
necessary ? The  Use  of the Violet  Consuming  Flame  to set
you Free  from  your  human  creation,  is the ONLY  MEANS
in the world  by which  it can be done;  and  the need  of charg-
ing your  mind  and  body  with  the Perfection  of the Pres-
ence,  is imperative.  I plead  with  you,  don't  neglect  these
simple  things!  No matter  what  your  activity  of the day  is,
you can  if you  will,  charge  your  mind  and  body  in the
morning,  with  the Energy  of the Presence;  so no matter
how  hard  the work  of the day is, you  can be rested  at night.
Now  please  apply  These  Laws  and  experience  the Free-
dom  which  your  Application  brings  to you.  The  Messen-
gers have  been  compelled  to prove  This  Truth  in their
own  lives  and  they  do it every  day.  Many  of you  are doing
it, for you  are Wholly  Free,  Precious  Ones,  in the Acknowl-
edgment  of your  "I AM  Presence"!  There  is not a thing  in
the world,  It will  not  do for you;  if you  will  harmonize
your  feeling  and  call  It into  action,  but  be firm  and  def-

with  a half  wishy-washy  way  of doing  it! Be calm,  firm  and
determined  to have  the Perfection  of your  Presence,  when
you call It into  action  and  It cannot  fail! DISCOURSE  III 7

many  things  so many  of you  are doing,  which  give  you
Great  Happiness  in the Acknowledgment  of your  Presence.
The blessed  young  people!  Oh,  what  worlds  of Happiness

When breathing is below par, it creates problems throughout the
systems of the body. Researchers have listed up to 30 common symptoms
and conditions in which poor breathing patterns are a factor.1,2 However,
because many sufferers breathe normally at least some of the time, it can be
hard to know if your breathing patterns are unhealthy.3
The rule of thumb I give my students is this: Breathing during rest and
light movement  such as walking or yoga should be impercep tible, never
noticeable. Heal thy breathing during rest should be through the nose, driven
by the diaphragm. It should be regular, quiet, slow, and almost undetectable.
Unhealthy or dysfunctional breathing involves breathing through the mouth,
using the upper chest, or breath that is irregular or audible during rest.
There are many forms of dysfunctional breathing, or breathing pattern
disorders, at varying levels of severity. The most common is chronic
hyperventilation, which involves breathing too fast and taking in too much
air. Signs of breathing pattern disorders include the inability  to take a
satisfying breath, excessive breathlessness during rest or physical exercise,
frequent yawning or sighing, and the feeling of just not getting enough air.
Other dysfunctions significantly affected by poor breathing patterns include
asthma, hay fever, snoring, sleep apnea, and associated psychological
conditions like anxiety, insomnia, and panic disorder. Across the board,
poor breathing is implicated in poor physical and mental health.
If you were to observe and monitor a random group of people as they sit
together in a room, you’d soon start to notice differences in their breathing.
Some people breathe through their nose, while others breathe through their
mouth. Some will have gentle, slow, quiet breathing, while others will be
taking faster, larger, more audible breaths. Some people sigh habitually
every few minutes. Others breathe in a nice regular pattern. Some use theirdiaphragm to breathe abdomin ally, while others breathe from the upper
chest.
Since breathing is a natural process and so vital to life, why do we all
breathe so dif ferently?
The answer is that breathing habits are greatly influenced by lifestyle,
environment, and genetic predisposition. Everyday habits that may come
from choice or necessity (such as sedentary deskwork, watching  TV, eating
processed foods, and excessive talking) or from psychological conditions
(such as stress and anxiety) or hormonal changes that occur during the
female monthy cycle can result in persistent faulty breathing, along with all
its negative consequences. To get a better sense of this, think of a person
who has developed a habit of eating too much. In times of stress, this
person may turn to emotional eating, using food as a crutch to help them
relax. If they continue to eat this way for weeks or months, their body will
soon adapt to habitual overeating and begin to demand more food than they
need. In the same way, our breathing patterns can change over time,
becoming unhealthy. These unhealthy breathing patterns can form in
childhood and even fundamentally alter the way our airways function.
Three fundame ntal factors have an impact on the way breathing
functions:
1. Biochemical.  The exchange and metabolism of oxygen (O 2) and carbon dioxide
(CO 2).
2. Biomechanical.  The physical aspects of breathing; the functioning of the respiratory
muscles, including the intercostal muscles (which run between the ribs and help
form and move the chest wall) and diaphragm (the major breathing muscle, located
below the lungs).
3. Psychological.  The mental and emotional aspects, which may manifest as stress
caused by poor breathing or poor breathing caused by stress.
These factors are at the root of breathing pattern disorders, and this is what
we’ll explore and address in this book.
While the three causes of breat hing pattern disorders are biochemical,
biomechanical, and psychological, the solutions fall into three parallel
categories:
1. Biochemical.  Addressing blood sensitivity to CO 2.
2. Biomechanical.  Breathing from the diaphragm.3. Cadence.  Reducing the respiratory rate to between 4.5 and 6.5 breaths per minute
in order to influence the autonomic functioning of the body.
The breathing method I will share in this book forms a straightf orward,
unique series of exercises that you can easily apply, both during rest and
physical exercise. This is no ordinary breathing technique. I would like to
introduce you to the Oxygen Advantage®.
WHA T IS THE OXYGEN ADV ANTAGE?
The Oxygen Advantage is a program of simple exercises designed to retrain
your breathing. The focus is on light, slow, deep breathing (LSD), which
targets the biochemistry and biomechanics of the body and taps into the
autonomic nervous system (ANS).
All too often, emphasis is placed  only on the biomechanics of breathing
—the way it functions muscularly and mechanically. The student is
encouraged to take big, full breaths, drawing air deep into the lungs. In the
process, the diaphragm is engaged, but the biochemistry is neglected.
Taking too big a breath causes blood vessels to narrow, actual ly reducing
oxygen deliver y to the cells. In practicing breathing exercises, the
biomechanical and biochemical functions and the respiratory rate are
inextricably linked—and need to be considered together. Think of the three
dimensions of the breath as a three-legged stool. If one leg is missing, the
stool will fall over!
Throughout this book, you will find everything you need to understand
how breathing impacts your health. Included are 26 breathing exercises, all
with different purposes—from breathing retraining to stopping a panic
attack, preparing for a presentation or competition to improving sleep,
exposing the body to good stress to countering bad stress. Don’ t worry. You
won’ t need to learn them all. Instead, choose one or two exercises, work
with them, and then return to learn more. You will learn how to measure
your BOLT (Body Oxygen Level Test) score to assess the health of your
breathing, and you will be able to choose the program most suitable for you.
The BOL T is a simple test designed to provide feedback on how well
you are breathing. The test involves exhaling normally throug h the nose,
pinching the nose to hold the breath, and timing how long in seconds ittakes to reach the first definite physical desire to breathe in. The goal is to
reach a BOL T score of 40 secon ds. A score of less than 25 seconds strongly
suggests a breathing pattern disorder. The BOL T, which will be explained in
more detail later, is interchangeable with the three dimensions of breathing
as a measure of progress.
As your BOL T score improves, you are likely to find yourself breathing
at a slow er rate and engaging the diaphragm. I’ll share breathin g exercises
that focus on:
1. Using air hunger to improve biochemistry
2. Using lateral expansion of the lower two ribs to improve biomechanics
3. Achieving the optimal respiratory rate, as understood by scientific study
You can achieve a higher BOL T score by breathing only through the
nose and practicing the exercises in this book. I always tell my clients that
they will continue to experience  asthma, nasal congestion, fatigue, anxiety,
and panic attacks until their BOL T score, taken first thing in the morning, is
at least 25 seconds. If you have a low BOL T score, changing your breathing
patterns can be utterly transformative.
One of the most rewarding things about working with students, even
from a distance,  is seeing the difference that healthy breathing can make to
their lives. I’m lucky that I can experience this in person through coaching,
and I can also reach people through the books, videos, and podcasts that
I’ve produced or been involved with. For example, recently, I had an email
from Ariella, thanking me for writing my book The Oxygen Advantage.
Ariella subscribed to my online newsletter and had experienced such good
results from practicing the breathing exercises in it that she bought a copy
of the book. She said, “Your teachings—in just a few days—have already
been life-changing.”
Ariella lives with a complex set of rare and chronic conditions that
challenge all of her organs. Thes e include dysautonomia (dysfunction of the
autonomic nervo us system), Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Hypermobility Type
(a connective tissue disorder that impacts the strength and function of
connective tissue), and mast cell activation disease (an immune cell disease
that causes her body to respond to anything and everything with an allergic
reaction). She has struggled with breathing for most of her life, but while
her doctors always agreed she didn’ t have asthma, she was never able tofind out why breathing was so difficult. This was complicated  by the fact
that each of her underlying conditions is known to af fect breathing.
Until Ariella found The Oxygen Advantage, she struggled tremendously
on a daily basis. She was often breathless and constantly felt like she was
fighting to get enough air. She had a BOL T score of just eight seconds. This
discomfort with breathing often  prevented her from sleeping, and once she
did get to sleep, her sleep qualit y was poor. She frequently lost her voice in
association with her breathing challenges and often couldn’


 still. The practise of meditation is important in
healing this chakra. Sitting in silence and stilling the mind allows us to hear
our inner voice.
You probably know somebody with a balanced and fully functioning throat
chakra. Without realising the reason, these are the people you seek out for
advice when you have a problem. A friend may be able to advise or comfort
you but the person you seek will be that person who can view your situation
with clarity. Their words carry a deeper truth. Whereas a friend might say,
“Poor you. Never mind. I’m sure you’ll find another job. Your boss
underpaid you anyway,” someone viewing your situation with the clarity of
a fully functioning throat chakra might say, “You under value yourself by
accepting jobs with low pay. Now you are being given an opportunity to
change that pattern by finding a better paid job.”An Imbalanced Fifth Chakra
If your fifth chakra is over functioning then you are the person who talks
too much. You probably think that what you say is true and that you are
always right. Others will perceive you as arrogant. You are not a good
listener and you enjoy gossiping about others. You interrupt other people
before they have finished talking. You are unable to put any of your
opinions succinctly so you’re boring to listen to. You might have a partic-
ularly loud, grating or unpleasant voice.
If it is under functioning you will be afraid to express yourself, preferring to
keep quiet rather than say anything that might upset somebody. Others
might perceive you as timid, shy, quiet and fearful. As you feel unable to
express your needs, you manipulate people and situations to get what you
want. You are likely to choose a partner who will allow you to do the
talking for both of you. You have dif ficulty putting your feelings into
words. You probably think, “If I say what I really think people will laugh at
me,” or “My opinion isn’ t as good as other people’ s.” You’re likely to be
tone deaf with a thin, weak voice that lacks power.
Major  Imbalance
The throat is where anger is stored and finally let go of. Uncontrollable rage
indicates a serious imbalance. If you rage, ask your doctor to refer you for
anger management classes. Thyroid problems are common if the imbalance
here is major.
Tom’s Story
Tom was born with the umbilical cord wrapped twice around his neck. He
almost died during birth because of this. As a child he regularly suf fered
from ulcerated tonsillitis. His father taught him that ‘big boys don’ t cry’,
and he remembered the feeling of a lump in his throat as he held back tears
in order to win his father ’ s approval. That lump was the block
consolidating in his chakra. After puberty his regular bouts of tonsillitis
started to develop into laryngitis. His laryngitis would last as long as four
weeks at a time. He was tone deaf and never sang.He married young and found himself in an unfulfilling relationship with an
older woman. She controlled him and made all the decisions such as where
they would live, where they would go on holiday and so on. Tom felt
resentful towards her but he was afraid to disagree with his wife in case she
left him, so he kept quiet.
Tom’s Healing
Tom’s healing began when he attended a workshop called, “Healing the
Inner Child”. It was a group workshop run by a qualified psychotherapist.
In one of the exercises the group was taken on a guided meditation back to
their childhood. During this meditation Tom had felt that familiar lump in
his throat, only this time he was unable to block the tears. The pain was too
much to bear. He broke down and began to sob. This was the first time he
had cried in public since he was a young child. His mask had finally
slipped. He had revealed and released his hidden pain. This incident was the
beginning of his healing journey. Gradually he came to understand that his
throat problems were the physical symptoms caused by his inability to say
what he needed to say. He learned that it was okay to speak his truth. In his
particular case he needed to express his anger towards his parents and his
wife.
Gradually he learned to express himself but his wife did not want to hear
his truth. A couple of years later he left her. Tom has not once had laryngitis
since the end of his marriage!
Kate’ s Story
Kate was a lecturer. Tom was her student. She met him when he was in his
last year of teacher training. Tom was ten years younger than her. The
physical attraction was strong and they married six months after meeting.
Tom moved into her house in London. The marriage had its ups and downs.
If Tom did not do what she wanted to do she threw enormous tantrums and
screamed and yelled at him until he caved in.
It was towards the end of their marriage when Tom confessed to her that the
other students had always dreaded her lectures because she was so boring.He also said that he had always felt controlled by her. Tom had always
wanted to emigrate and when he was of fered a job in Australia, Kate
refused to move. Tom took the job and left his wife.
Kate was devastated when her marriage ended. Her plan had been to have a
baby in her late thirties and return to work part time.
Kate’ s Healing
The breakdown of her marriage was a wake-up call for Kate. Although
initially she was shocked to hear the truth that her students found her
boring, it led her to realise that she had an issue with communication. She
began attending classes in non- violent communication and pinned the
following template on her bathroom mirror:
When you _____________ I feel ____________ because I need
_______________.
Through regular use of this way of communicating she learned that her
anger and her desire to be in control came from a need within her.
She allowed herself to cry. She bought a ‘teach yourself to sing’  CD and
sang along with it in the car on her way to work.
Both Tom and Kate had fifth chakra imbalances and although many people
might say that their marriage was a failure because it ended in divorce, the
truth is that they were perfect for each other. They mirrored each other ’ s
issues and their relationship brought them both to a greater level of self-
awareness and healing.

How Can I Balance My Fifth Chakra?
1 Take up singing. If you do not feel able to join a choir or sing in front of a
teacher, then buy a ‘teach yourself to sing’  CD and begin singing in the
safety of your bedroom! Or play your favourite music in the car and sing
along.
2 Practise talking to an empty seat. If there is someone you need to
communicate something to, imagine they are sitting on a seat in front of
you and tell them (out loud) what it is you need to say.
3 Write an af firmation “IT  IS SAFE TO EXPRESS MYSELF” and stick it
on the bathroom mirror.
4 Join a yoga group than includes chanting and meditation.
5 Buy a tongue cleaner and use it daily.
6 Stick your tongue out as far as it will go. Hold it out for as long as you
can. When you need to take a breath, slowly draw the tongue back in.
7 Lie flat on your back and look up at the blue sky. Feel yourself being
bathed in the colour of the sky.
8 Spend a day telling the truth in every single situation you encounter.
9 Have a regular back and shoulder massage to release tight muscles in your

 catch polio remains a mystery."
The supposition that viruses entered through the mouth and nose led the experimenters
to make exhaustive tests on both animals and human beings, mostly prisoners and
orphans in institutions. They were exposed (by close association) to polio patients and
their throats and nasal passages were frequently swabbed with matter (from the patients)
that was supposed to contain viruses. No polio was produced in this way and about the
only noticeable after effect was that the subjects of the experiments lost their sense of
taste and smell due to the damaging effects of the poisons in the serum that was used on
the swabs.
CONFUSION IN THE RANKS OF THE GERM BREEDERS
In spite of all the proof to the contrary, those who profit by the sale of vaccines are
trying to make their theory ‘stick,’ but there is dissension and clash of conflicting belief
for lack of facts to depend on
Dr Salk’s stand on his dead virus theory is reviewed in LIFE magazine in the article
‘Tracking the Killer’ in which the writer says Dr Salk has reason to believe that
his killed virus when given m the prescribed manner—the third booster shot increases
antibodies enormously—may even improve on nature" A confused little man with a
batch of putrid serum thinks  he can improve on nature
Robert Goglan (in the same article) writes: "Virus diseases, preventable by vaccination,
(?) were found to be ones in which the virus was  blood-borne during some early stage of
the infection And this brings us to a basic dilemma that confronted polio researchers
Nobody could find polio viruses in the blood of the polio victims at any stage"
This is an interesting point because the blood circulates through the body every three
minutes carrying the purified  arterial blood to the cells and carrying away the waste
laden blood in the veins to be purified again If viruses  caused polio then there would be
some indication of  dead viruses found in the venous blood and live viruses would be
found both in and outside of the body.
What started the "dead virus" tangent anyway? It was disastrous effects of the previous
vaccines that were supposed to contain  live viruses that turned the people against this
method of mass murder But the one-track-minds of some of the researchers were determined to hang on to the virus gimmick, whether alive or dead, so dead virus
vaccine was invented
An account of one of the deadly polio vaccine experiments on living human beings may
be found in the Journal of the American Medical Association,  (Dec. 28, 1935, V ol 105 p
2152) The report was made by the Medical Director of the United States Public Health
He says
"During the past year in the United States, several thousand individuals mostly children,
have received subcutaneous and intracutaneous injections of treated poliomyelitis virus
with high fatality" He describes 12 cases of which 6 died within 20 days of receiving the
first dose of vaccine. Of the remaining 6 hope of recovery was doubtful. This was from
(supposedly) live virus.
Here we see that the doctors were able to  cause polio with serum (protein poisons) but
they were not able to cure or control it. The report continues: "It is believed that, to
many physicians,  this series of cases... readers undesirable the further use of polio
virus for human vaccination."
The deadly effects of the "dead virus" vaccine of Dr. Salk and the equally deadly effects
of the "live virus" vaccines should close the chapter on polio vaccine but physicians "die
hard" when there are large profits in sight. So a few of these doctors are still trying to
revive the virus corpse by other concoctions.  Dr. Albert Sabin  is toying with the idea of a
virus just between the dead and the live variety which according to the  U.S. News and
World Report (May 13, 1955) "would be tamed—weakened so it could no longer cause
polio but could trigger the body into setting up protective immunity." (This would be
laughable if it were not so pathetic.)
Dr. Richie Russell  favors the use of live viruses taken by mouth instead of injection. He
says: "It is certainly more effective than the Salk method, and may even involve less
risk, for should an oral (by mouth) vaccine lead unexpectedly to a febrile illness, there
are still many chances that no paralytic disease will develop...  When,
however, poliomyelitis is precipitated by an inoculation the natural defences of the
nervous system seem to be ineffective, and nearly all such illnesses develop into a
paralytic form of the disease affecting especially the limb used for the injection." (From
—"The Story of Salk Anti-Poliomyeitis Vaccine" by Dr. M. Beddow Bayly.)
Dr. Russell admits the danger of injecting poison into the body and acknowledges the
hazards of taking the poison by mouth but suggests that it would be a little less
damaging in this way. This gives a choice of two risky, worthless methods with no proof
of any benefits.
Poison always does serious damage no matter how it is taken, so why nurture the hope
that any special brand of  "virus" poison vaccine can ever be expected to do any good? If
the physicians cannot comprehend this simple fact then the  people will need to do their own protecting by avoiding all vaccines and the rest of the harmful practices of modern
medicine.
It gives us hope to find a few doctors here and there who seem to be getting a clearer
understanding of the situation. Among them is  Dr. William J. McCormick  who states:
(Archives of Pediatrics, Feb. 1950):
"The associated virus is regarded as a biochemical substance produced by the disease,
which, although capable of producing paralysis in experimental animals by catalytic
chemical action in the nervous system, is not necessarily a means of spreading of the
disease under ordinary circumstances."
Ralph R. Scobey, M.D. (Archives of Pediatrics, Sept.-Oct. 1950 ) tells us that "the so-
called virus of poliomyelitis is considered to be an endogenous (growing from within)
substance resulting from poisoning." He gives evidence in the article to support this
claim.
J. E. R. McDonagh  (The Universe Through Medicine) states that "the virus is  formed
within, and does not come from without."
A UP Release, (Sept. 8, 1950) reports the views of  Dr. Joseph Melnick  (at the
International Conference of Biology) in these words: "He said studies have shown that
the nucleus of the cells in the spinal cord may be the place where the polio virus is
manufactured when the disease strikes."
The total lack of scientific evidence that viruses  cause polio or that they can exist
outside the body and attack from there, has forced the researchers to look  within the
cause of disease. When they (the whole healing profession) fully comprehend this
simple fact there will no longer be any fear of germs and there will be no vaccines,
disinfectants or other harmful germicides used. The healing field can then begin to make
rapid advancement and disease can be understood and eliminated.
MONKEY TESTS ARE NO MEASURE FOR MAN
It is the blind acceptance of a false theory (of virus attack) that has promoted ~ and
sustained the terrible slaughter of thousands of monkeys to make a vaccine that can
never produce anything but disastrous results.
Even if vaccines  were useful, an artificial  laboratory disease  induced in a healthy
monkey by methods not experienced by man is not a dependable means of judging the
effectiveness of a vaccine in a self induced cleansing disease of man.
Dr. Jean MacNamara  in the Medical Journal,  (Aug. 12, 1933) emphasized the danger of
applying facts determined in experimental poliomyelitis in monkeys to the natural
disease in man. He pointed out that there are "marked clinical differences between the
pre-paralytic stage of poliomyelitis in children and in monkeys."The Lancet (Aug. 19, 1933) discusses this same point by saying: "To draw analogies
between the pathogenesis of poliomyelitis in man and the experimental disease in
monkeys might lead us far astray."
John A. Toomey, M.D.  (Science, 82:200. Aug. 30, 1955) stated that "the intranasal and
intracerebral inoculation of the poliomyelitis virus in monkeys does not produce the
same disease seen in man." In an article in the  Journal of Pediatrics, (19:103, 1941) Dr.
Toomey gives evidence to prove that "no animal gets the disease from another no matter
how intimately exposed." For this reason QUARANTINE FOR POLIOMYELITIS IS
USELESS.
Dr. Patrick Meenan, bacteriologist at St. Vincent’s Hospital, Dublin, states (Lancet, April
18, 1953) that "most of the recent work on poliomyelitis has been done on chimpanzees,
which seem to react to infection much as man does." Of course monkeys and other
animals suffer from induced disease the same as people but this has nothing to do with
the cause and cure of disease. This


 perhaps, the exception of sprouted grains.
Maltose occurs inthebody asanintermediate product ofstarch digestion. (Starch is
a polysaccharide.) When maltose is hydrolyzed, it yields two molecules of glucose.
7.2.8 Lactose (also known as milk sugar)
This disaccharide isfound only inmilk. Human milk contains about 4.8gper100
mlandcow’ smilk contains approximately 6.8gper100ml.When lactose ishydrolyzed
ityields oneunit ofthemonosaccharide glucose andoneunit ofthemonosaccharide
galactose. Theenzyme lactase isneeded todigest lactose, andthisenzyme isnotpresent
inmost, ifany,people over agethree. This isoneofthemany reasons why milk isan
unwholesome food for people over three years of age.
7.2.9 Polysaccharides
Like thedisaccharides, thepolysaccharides cannot bedirectly utilized bythebody.
They must firstbebroken down intomonosaccharides, theonly sugar form thebody can
use.Polysaccharides contain upto60,000 simple carbohydrate molecules. These carbo-
hydrate molecules arearranged inlong chains ineither astraight orinabranched struc-
ture. There arefour polysaccharides thatareimportant inthestudy ofnutritional science:
starch, dextrin, glycogen and cellulose.
7.2.10 Starch
Starch isabundant intheplant world andisfound ingranular form inthecells of
plants. Starch granules canbeseen under amicroscope andthey differinsize, shape and
markings invarious plants. Thestarch granules ofwheat, forexample, areoval-shaped;
whereas the starch granules of corn are small, rounded and angular.
These starch granules arelaiddown inthestorage organs ofplants—in theseeds,
tubers, roots andstem pith. They provide areserve food supply fortheplant, sustain the
root or tuber through the winter and nourish the growing embryo during germination.
Most starches areamix oftwodifferent molecular structures, amylose andamy-
lopectin. Theformer hasalinear structure andthelatter hasabranched orbushy struc-
ture. Theproportion ofthetwofractions varies according tothespecies ofplant. Forex-
ample, potato starch andmost cereal starches have approximately 15-30% amylose. But
thewaxy cereal grains, including some varieties ofcorn plus riceandgrain sorghum,
have their starch most entirely asamylopectin. Thestarches ingreen peas andinsome
sweet corn varieties are mainly amylose.
The polysaccharides, asmentioned earlier,arenotwater soluble asarethemono-
anddisaccharides. Though notwater soluble, starches canbedispersed inwater heated
toacertain temperature. The granules swell andgelatinize. When cooled, thisgelatin
setstoapaste. The jelling characteristics ofstarches areconsidered toresult from the
amylose present, while amylopectin isconsidered toberesponsible forthegummy and
cohesive properties of the paste.
7.2.11 Dextrin
There areseveral “varieties” ofthispolysaccharide. Dextrins aremost commonly
consumed incooked starch foods, asthey areobtained from starch bytheaction ofheat.
Dextrins areintermediary products ofstarch digestion, also, andareformed bytheac-
tion of amylases on starches. They render the disaccharide maltose on hydrolysis.
7.2.12 Glycogen
Glycogen isthereserve carbohydrate inhumans. Itistoanimals asstarch istoplants.
Glycogen isvery similar toamylopectin, having ahigh molecular weight andbranched-
chain structures made upofthousands ofglucose molecules. The main difference be-
tween glycogen andamylopectin isthatglycogen hasmore andshorter branches, result-
inginamore compact, bushlike molecule with greater solubility andlower viscosity
(less stickiness or gumminess).
Glycogen isstored primarily intheliver andmuscles ofanimals. About two-thirds
of total body glycogen is stored in the muscles and about one-third is stored in the liver.
7.2.13 Cellulose
Like starch andglycogen, cellulose iscomposed ofthousands ofglucose molecules.
Itcomprises over 50% ofthecarbon invegetation andisthestructural constituent ofthe
cellwalls ofplants. Cellulose is,therefore, themost abundant naturally-occurring organ-
icsubstance. Itischaracterized byitsinsolubility,itschemical inertness anditsphysical
rigidity.This polysaccharide canbedigested only byherbivores such ascows, sheep,
horses, etc., asthese animals have bacteria intheir rumens (stomachs) whose enzymesystems break down cellulose molecules. Humans donothave theenzyme needed todi-
gest cellulose, so it is passed through the digestive tract unchanged.
7.3. The Role Of Carbohydrates In The Body
7.3.1 Carbohydrates Supply Ener gy
7.3.2 Carbohydrates Provide Fuel for the Central Nervous System
7.3.3 Carbohydrates Provide Fuel for the Muscular System
7.3.4 Carbohydrates Supposedly Spare Proteins
7.3.5 Carbohydrates Supposedly Supply “Dietary Fiber”
Five subheadings follow inthislesson subdivision, butthere isactually only oneba-
sicroleofcarbohydrates inthehuman diet: tosupply energy.Itshould always bekept
inmind thatcarbohydrates orcalories alone cannot adequately supply ourenergyneeds,
forwemust have ourcarbohydrates incombination with other needs, such asproteins,
water,vitamins, minerals, fats, etc.This means thatadietofrefined sugar,refined rice,
flour products andother “food fragments,” though itsupplies calories, cannot satisfac-
torily comprise thebulk ofanyone’ sdiet. Aperson onsuch adietwould suffer many
problems, fortheorganism isnotcapable ofliving long orwell onbare carbohydrates
alone. They must beobtained incombination with theother essential food factors tobe
truly useful in the overall ener gy production and nutrition of the or ganism.
7.3.1 Carbohydrates Supply Energy
Thebody uses carbohydrates directly from themonosaccharide glucose. Glucose is
intheblood andextracellular fluids (lymph) andcanbemade from glycogen. Glycogen
isstored intheliver andmuscles andinsmaller amounts intheother organs andtissues
ofthebody.Energyisderived from glucose bythesplitting oftheglucose molecules into
smaller compounds andoxidizing these toform water,which frees quite alargeamount
of ener gy.
When carbohydrates needed forthefunctioning ofthecentral nervous system, the
muscles andtheother body systems andfunctions areinsuf ficient inthediet(asduring
afastoronaweight-loss diet), stored adipose tissue (fat) isbroken down intoglucose to
make upthecaloric deficit. Some amino acids, instead ofbeing used tomake proteins,
aredeaminated andused ascarbohydrates tosupply energy.The formation ofglucose
from amino acids iscalled gluconeogenesis. This phenomenon enables onetomaintain
normal blood sugar levels during a fast.
Practically theentire fatstore ofthebody canbeused upwithout detriment tohealth.
Because ofthisfact, andthefactthatthebody canalsocreate carbohydrates from amino
acids, fasting isavery safepractice from thestandpoint ofmaintenance ofnormal blood
sugar levels, ofnormal neurological functioning andofmeeting allthebody’ svarious
energy needs.
7.3.2 Carbohydrates Provide Fuel for the Central Nervous System
Nerve cells arevery dependent upon glucose fortheir functioning. According to
physiology texts, theglycogen innervous tissues remains constant andisnotmobilized
forconversion toglucose. When insuf ficient carbohydrates areconsumed tomeet the
energy needs ofthecentral nervous system, besides theoccurrence ofgluconeogenesis,
another phenomenon occurs during afastofthree weeks ormore: Thecells ofthecentral
nervous system adapt their metabolic apparatus touseketone bodies inplace ofglucose.
(Ketone bodies aresubstances synthesized bytheliver asastep inthemetabolism of
fats.) Thenerve cells obtain their needed functional energyfrom these metabolites. This
explains why patients with blood sugar problems (diabetes orhypoglycemia) donotsuf-ferilleffects during afast. Infact, they benefit byfasting. (This topic willbediscussed
in depth in a later lesson.)
7.3.3 Carbohydrates Provide Fuel for the Muscular System
Carbohydrates provide themajor fuel formuscular exercise. Fats andproteins can
beused only indirectly—by first being converted intocarbohydrates. Forthisreason, a
proper dietshould consist primarily of
