 1. the breaking down or destructive phase of metabolism; 2.
includes digestive and all the processes used to break down complex
substances into simple, usable ones; 3. Energy is generally released during
this process. (For example: glucose is catabolized to water, carbon dioxide,
and energy.)
Cataplasm
 another name for a poultice.
Catarrh
 a mucus discharge from the mucous
membranes as a result of
inflammation, acids, or irritants (foreign proteins). This has special reference
to the air passages of the head and throat. (For example: hayfever, rhinitis,
influenza, bronchitis, pharyngitis, asthma). Milk and refined sugars create an
over-production of mucus discharge, congesting various body tissues.
Cathartic
 strong laxative which causes rapid evacuation of bowels (Black
Hellebore, Culvers Root, Senna Leaves).
Cationic
 1. state of flux and breakdown whereby nutrients and elements are
dispersed systemically; similar to catabolic; 3. in reference to alkalization.
Caustics
 herbs that burn or destroy living tissue (Celandine Juice, Cashew
Juice, Yellow Anemone Herb).
Cell Proliferants
 herbs that promote rapid healing and regeneration of the
body (cells). (Aloe Vera, Comfrey, Elecampane, Saw Palmetto).
Cephalics
 herbs that are particularly healing to cerebral conditions and
diseases (Red Sage, Rosemary, Rue, Stinging Nettle, Juniper Berry).
Chlorophyll
 the “green” pigment in plants; used in nutrition to absorb toxins
and as a vulnerary; it can be taken as a supplement, as a source of magnesium
and trace elements. It has strong detoxifying properties; pulls mucus and
heavy metals out of the body.
Cholagogue
 promotes flow and discharge of bile from liver into intestines
(Beets, Fringetree, Mandrake).Cholesterol
 a crystalline substance that is soluble in fats; produced by all
vertebrates. It is a necessary constituent of cell membranes, and facilitates the
transport and absorption of fatty acids. It can be synthesized in the liver and
is a normal constituent of bile. It is important in metabolism, serving as a
processor of various steroid hormones. Excess cholesterol is a potentially big
threat to health. This occurs in acidosis (inflammation) where adrenal cortex
weakness is observed.
Chronic
 1. an advanced state of hypoactivity of tissue, organs and glands; 2.
the stage before degeneration and cancer.
Chyme
 the mixture of partly digested food and digestive secretions found in
the stomach and small intestine during digestion of a meal. It is a varicolored,
thick, but nearly liquid mass.
Cimcifuga
 means “to drive away bugs,” neutralizes rattlesnake bites,
scorpion stings. (Plantain, Black Cohosh, Borage, Wood Betony.)
Cod Liver Oil
 natural oils from cod fish which contain essential fatty acids
and vitamins A and D; also contains the Omega-3 oils.
Coenzyme
 a molecule that works with an enzyme to enable the enzyme to
perform its function in the body. Coenzymes are necessary in the utilization
of vitamins and minerals. Vitamins are considered coenzymes as they affect
the ability of an enzyme to activate.
Colitis
 inflammation of the colon.
Coloring Agents
 herbs used for coloring or dyeing purposes (Bilberry—
dark blue or purple; Blood Root—deep red or bronze; Turmeric— golden
yellow).
Colostrum
 a clear fluid, rich in antibodies and nutrients, produced in the
breasts as the first
“milk.”
 Colostrum stimulates and builds the immune system of the infant.
Complex Sugars
 where two or more simple sugars (glucose, fructose, or
galactose) are combined. Starches and artificial sugars are a good example of
complex sugars (dextrose, maltose, sucrose, etc.). Complex sugars lead to the
overproduction of mucus and carbonic acid, which congest and acidify the
body.
Compounds
 1. a substance composed of two or more units or parts
combined in definite proportions by weight and having specific properties of
its own. Compounds are formed by all living organisms and are of two types,organic and inorganic. 2. made up of more than one part.
Compress
 a pad of linen applied under pressure to an area of skin and held
in place.
Complete Protein
 a source of dietary protein that contains a full complement
of the eight essential amino acids. Based upon flesh as the end
result of a
vegetable diet.
Complex Carbohydrate
 1. a carbohydrate that contains several bonded
natural sugars (glucose and fructose). These are exceedingly difficult for the
body to break down. Excessive consumption leads to acidosis through the
creation of excessive carbonic acid, which is a by-product of sugar
breakdown. 2. The carbohydrates in starches and fiber are complex
carbohydrates; also called polysaccharides. 3. requires adrenal steriods to
metabolize.
Condiments
 herbs used to season or flavor foods (Coriander, Parsley, Sweet
Basil, Sage, Rosemary).
Congestion
 1. the presence of an excessive amount of blood or tissue fluid in
an organ or in tissue. 2. In natural health, congestion refers to the
accumulation of mucus, acids, toxins, chemicals, heavy metals, parasites, and
the like. Leads to nodal swelling, masses, and tumor formation.
Connective Tissue
 the type of tissue that performs the function of providing
support, structure, and cellular cement to the body.
Constringents
 astringents.
Convalescence
 the period of recovery (or immobility) after the termination
of a disease or an operation.
Convulsants
 cause convulsions.
CO.P.D.
 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Cordials
 herbs that combine the properties of a warm stomach and a cardiac
stimulant (Angostura, Borage, Gentian).
Correctives (corrigents)
 herbs used to lessen and/or alter the severity of
action of other herbs, especially cathartics or purgatives. Some correctives
include: American Pennyroyal, Bay Leaves, and Cascara Sagrada.
Corticosteroid Hormones
 a group of hormones produced by the adrenal
glands that control the body’s use of nutrients and the excretion of salts and
water in the urine. Used for inflammatory processes by the body.Cosmetics
 herbs that are skin tonics and are used to improve the complexion
and beautify the skin (Agar Agar, Balm of Gilead, Comfrey).
Coumarins
 (aromatic constituents) anti-clotting factors in small doses and
used as rat poison in large doses.
Counterirritants
 herbs that cause irritation by local application in one part
and therapeutically relieve pain in another more deep-seated part (Prickly
Ash, Rue, Lobelia).
Cultigen
 an organism, especially a cultivated plant, such as a Garlic, not
known to have a wild or uncultivated counterpart.
Cyst
 an abnormal lump or swelling, filled with fluid or semi-solid “cheesy”
material, in any body organ or tissue, caused from acidosis, mucus and
oftentimes excessive hormones.
Craniosacral
 concerning the skull and sacrum.
Cruciferous
 means “cross-shaped.” Used to refer to a group of vegetables
(including broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, turnips, and
rutabagas) that have cross-shaped blossoms, and contain substances that have
been shown to prevent colon cancer.
Cystitis
 inflammation of the urinary bladder.
Cytotoxic
 a substance toxic to cells.
Cytokines
 chemical messengers that are involved in the regulation of almost
every system in the body and are important in controlling local and systemic
inflammatory response.
Debility
 weakness of tonicity in functions or organs of the body.
Decoction
 teas prepared by boiling the botanical (herbs) with water for a
specified period of time, followed by straining or filtering; generally ingested
as a tea.
Degeneration
 deterioration of a structure or function of any part of the body
based in the decline of the cells or other structures that constitute that part.
Opposite of regeneration.
Dehydration
 excessive loss of water from the body created mainly by
acidosis.
Dementia
 senility; loss of mental function.
Demulcent
 soothes, protects and nurtures irritated and inflamed membranes
and tissues.Dental Anodynes
 herbs used locally to relieve pain from an exposed nerve
filament in the tooth (toothache) (Broom, Cajuput, Ginger, Oil of Cloves).
Deobstruents
 help remove obstructions from the body (Barberry, Butcher’s
Broom, Plantain).
Deodorants
 herbs that eliminate foul odors (Blackberry, Chlorophyll,
Echinacea).

 sedatives.
Depresso-Motors
 herbs that diminish muscular movement by action on the
spinal centers (also see: Nervine and Antispasmodic) (Gum Wood, Lobelia,
Poke Root).
Depuratives
 cleanses or purifies blood by promoting eliminative functions

the human  form  and out into  the Individual's  world.  Then,
you know  you  have  found  the Source  of Intelligence,  of
Power,  of Life,  of Action,  of All Supply  there  is in the
World.
Let us no longer  be limited  in the feeling  world,  by the
idea and  feeling  that  supply  depends  upon  human  Beings
in your  midst!  As long  as you continue  to accept  it, you will
find yourself  limited.  Cut it off and turn  to your  Presence—
the Treasure-House  of the  Universe—and  your  world.
Then,  remember  THIS,  Beloved  Ones,  Oh please  HOLD
THIS  firmly  before  yourself  forever!
When  you  call to your  Presence  for your  money  supply
or any  supply  you  require  for use,  Your  Presence,  is your
Treasure-House  actually,  practically  and  literally!  It prob-
ably would  not release  coined  money  in your  hands  just
yet; but It is the Power  of Intelligence  at your  Call,  which
sets Its Energy  into  action  in your  body.  All persons,  places
and conditions,  required  to bring  financial  money  supply
into your  hands—by  the Wisdom,  Power  and  Love  of the
Presence,  will  be set into  action  to bring  it to you.  You  will
be caused  to harmonize  yourself  and  do whatever  you  are
required  to do, to co-operate  with  the Activity  of Life  which
produces  that  result  for you.
Oh Dear  Hearts,  once  you would  only  understand  it, you
could  not be deprived  of anything  you  need  for your  use.
It would  be impossible!  There  is not one human  Being  on
This  Earth,  who  owns  anything.  Oh,  if mankind  would
only understand  that!  You  don't  even  own  your  bodies!  If 300 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
you did,  you  would  keep  them!  Now  notice  how  practical
all this is! If you owned  those  bodies,  you would  keep  them,
wouldn't  you?  At least  as long  as you  wanted  to. Then,
somewhere  something  is missing!
Life is always  Omnipresent  and  acting!  It is your  Limit-
less Supply  of all you require  for use!  Your  Presence  is the
Individualized  Presence  of God,  who  holds  within  Its Radi-
ance  and  Power,  the Supply  of all things;  in substance,  in
energy,  in quality!  As It releases  the Intelligent  Substance  or
Energy,  into  action  in the human  octave,  the conditions  are
brought  about  for a Complete  and Full  Release  of what  you
require.  Don't  you  see how  It cannot  fail in a single  in-
stance ? It just cannot  do it.
Then,  what  you  need  to do is to watch,  and  if you  are
not having  a quick  and  Full  Response  to your  Call—don't
be discouraged,  but say:  "Hold  on here  now!  What  is the
matter  with  me? What  is acting  here  which  should  not?
What  am I not doing  that  I should?"  Then,  call the Pres-
ence  into  action  and  say:  "'Mighty  I AM  Presence'!  let
me know  definitely  now  what  is the reason  here."  Be prac-
tical! Don't  be afraid  of anything,  but be so practical  and
say: "Here  let this  thing  stop  right  now!  I have  made  the
Call and  I know  it must  be answered!  Whatever  human
quality  is in me, take  it out"!  Be firm  about  it, and Oh,  how
quickly,  you will  find  your  Calls  being  answered  with  Great
Speed  and  Power!  It is Magnificent!
I want  to say just  a few  words  in regard  to the great
industries  of today.  A Great  Law  is entering  into  the in-DISCOURSE  XXII  301
dustrial  world—the  Power  of Light!  One  of your  blessed
citizens,  in his Heart  is responding  so wonderfully  to the
Great  Laws  of Life.  His Light  has held  Its Dominion  over
the most  destructive  of forces  which  would  have  destroyed
him.  He is your  beloved  Henry  Ford.  I am not trying  to
exploit  your  beloved  friend;  but I am stating  the Laws  of
Life.  Had  it not been  for him  and  his stand  against  the de-
structive  forces,  which  tried  at one time  to wipe  him  out of
existence;  the industrial  world  would  have  been  in such
chaos  today,  that  most  of mankind  would  not have  had
enough  to eat. He was the strength  and courage  to the other
industries  of the World  in his stand;  because  he knows  God,
the Presence  of all Life!
Notice—today,  the demand  of the Activities  of Life  in
the industrial  world  is imperative;  and  the heads  of great
industries  are coming  to realize,  the old methods  can  be
used  no more!  There  are still a few who  hold  on; still trying
at least  to hold  fast to the old ideas;  but they  cannot  survive
and do it! We believe  in giving  Justice  and when  We see an
Individual  who  has built  himself  into  the great,  almost  lim-
itless  success  which  Mr. Ford  has,  then  We believe  in giving
credit  where  it is due.  His only  support,  his only  protection,
his only  achievement,  has been  in his Power  of Conscious
Attention  to the Light.  No matter  what  the criticism  of
him may  have  been,  be careful  you do not accept  it! If there
were  now  and then  an Individual  in his service,  who  might
have  made  mistakes,  don't  forget,  he may  not have  been
responsible  for it. 302 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
So it is in all walks  of Life.  It is not always  the head  of
industries  or conditions  who  may  be responsible;  because
they are not always  able  to govern  the action  of those  in
their  employ.  Just  as a spy from  a foreign  country  might
enter  into  your  America;  and  gain  information  which
would  be your  destruction,  would  the government  be to
blame  for that ? Possibly  in a slight  degree  in lack  of alert-
ness,  but the penalty  would  be on the Individual  who  did it.
Now  remember,  Dear  Ones,  I am prompting  you  for a
Great  Definite  Reason.  In the childrens'  experiences  in
India,  when  Rex  discovered  a spy in the midst  of the Broth-
erhood—notice  the reason!  The  atmosphere  of the Brother-
hood  had  been  charged  by the spy,  so they  might  not feel,
see or detect  his presence!  Rex  coming  in from  an outside
atmosphere,  wholly  Free  from  it, was  enabled  to detect  it!
Notice  what  that  means  to the world,  when  you clear  your
atmosphere  of human  pressure.  By calling  your  Presence
into action,  you will  be alert,  to detect  the conditions  which
are about  to touch  your  world—which  would  affect,  limit
or harm  you.
Therefore,  as you sense  it, you can say to the wrong  con-
dition:  "You  have  no power!  Be thou  dissolved  and  con-
sumed  by the Power  of Light!"  and  it is done!  Instead  of it
finding  action  in your


 bones are alive and are dynamic rather than static.
Bones contain living cells which require not only
minerals for building bone, but all the other foodnutrients that living cells need to remain healthy.
An emergency need for these cells arises when a bone
is broken. If these cells had ceased to live and functionwhen the adult skeleton became formed, a broken bone
would remain broken for the rest of one’s life. When a
bone is broken, nourishment of these cells is cruciallyimportant. They not only need the minerals required
for repairing the damage, but the cells themselves need
to “eat” and keep healthy. These bone cells, like all othercells, can be nourished at various levels of efficiency.
This is related to the fact that bones sometimes knit
slowly and sometimes rapidly. The rate of healing canbe slowed dramatically by poor nutrition of the cells, or
it can be stepped up by improving the cell’s nutrition.167
Man does not die; he commits suicide with living an unhealthy lifestyle.
 – Paul C. Bragg
The Whole Body Needs Healthy Foods
Good physicians who treat fracture cases, especially
doctors who are nutrition and health-minded make sure
that every possible measure is taken to promote the finestnutrition possible to mend and build new bone cells!
The cells in our skin, including the hair-building cells,
need continual healthy nourishment. This becomes
more evident and compelling when we remember that
skin is constantly being shed and replaced, and that hair
grows continuously – day and night, year after year.
Those who handle farm animals, pets or racing animals
know that skin and hair sleekness is an important indexof health and well being. If an animal’s hair or fur is well-nourished and healthy, it’s an indication the cells of its
body are at least fairly well nourished. Laboratory
experim ents w ith mammals and fowl show that many
entirely different nutritional deficiencies will cause the
skin, hair, or feathers,  to become unhealthy.  Doctors
recognize the appearance of healthy skin and are often
able to judge a patient’s condition on this basis. Severalgross vitamin deficiencies in humans become obvious
by their unhealthy skin.
That national epidemic, constipation, is often a
manifestation of bad nutrition of the intestinal tissues.There are many involuntary “smooth” muscles which,
when they are stimulated, cause stomach and intestinalmovements. These wavelike motions keep the partially
digested food moving along until the final residue
reaches the large bowel and is soon eliminated. All thesesmooth muscles are made up of living cells which must
be well nourished if the whole process is to proceed with
efficiency. In order to prevent constipation in theintestinal tract, irritating substances (powerful laxatives)
are often used. These stimulate and “drive” the muscle
cells, sometimes mercilessly, when usually all that themuscle cells need to function efficiently is some fiber
and ample water, coupled with good nutritional habits.168
The greatest tragedy that comes to man is emotional depression,
the dulling of the intellect and the loss of initiative that comesfrom nutritive failure. – Dr. James McLester,
Former A.M.A. President
The Body is a Mass Factory of Living Cells
The system of arteries, veins and capillaries which
carries blood and nourishment to all parts of the body
are not inert pipes; their walls contain indispensable
living cells which must be nourished satisfactorily inorder to remain alive and well. They do not always stay
well, as in the case of so-called hardening of the arteriesthat results from an unhealthy “corroded” condition
which can be aggravated by improper nutrition.
The center of the circulatory system, the heart, is very
much alive and its continual nourishment is cruciallyimportant. The heart is a powerful muscle ( your master
pump ) which utilizes a tremendous amount of energy.
Its cells need to be “fed” a highly “natural diet”   because
it pumps blood all over the body. If an artery supplying
blood to the heart becomes unhealthy and corroded, it
is more likely to be stopped up by a small blood clot. In
that case, the heart muscle cells which depend on the
artery for sustenance become starved and could die.
If the starvation, particularly of oxygen, is extensive
and lasts even a fraction of a minute, the victim may dieof a coronary heart attack. In this case, the quality of the
blood may be satisfactory, but it cannot get through to
the heart muscle cells, and thus cannot carry  its nutrients
to them. The heart cells die and this causes all the cells
in the body to die. This is another example in whichfailure of cells to get what they need in one area cancause severe damage elsewhere in the body.
There are various special organs in the body that have
extraordinary and distinctive nutritional requirements.All the important hormone-producing glands in the body
(the thyroid gland, the pituitary, the adrenals, the sex
glands, the insulin producing cells in the pancreas, theparathyroids) are made up of living cells. Like all other
living cells, they need continuous and complex
nourishment to keep the organs and body healthy.169
 Strong, healthy body makes a strong mind. –  Thomas Jefferson,  3rd U.S. PresidentIodine from Kelp is Important
One of the vital hormones is particularly interesting
because it contains a specific chemical element – iodine.
The cells that produce the thyroid hormone are among
the most differentiated cells in the body... they
absolutely need iodine if they are to perform their uniquefunction. In certain parts of the world, such as the Great
Lakes region, the Pacific Northwest and Switzerland,
iodine is at a low level in soil and vegetation. As a result,many have thyroid glands that are relatively starved for
iodine. They become diseased and highly swollen,resulting in the condition known as endemic goiter. They
simply cannot do the job of producing the required
hormone adequately unless they are furnished withenough iodine to create it. When sufficient iodine is
furnished from (
delicious ) sea vegetation (kelp, seaweed,
Irish moss, etc.) or supplements, the enlarged thyroid
gland shrinks to its’ normal size and diseased condition
disappears. Example: by limiting different degrees of
iodine given a mammal, it’s possible to produce any
condition between severe goiter and normal functioning.
Healthy Foods Have Good Effect on Brain
At first glance, no connection between food and
thinking is apparent. Yet I assure you that, just as surely as
food affects the different parts of the body, it also affects
our thinking! Our thoughts are influenced directly by whatwe have eaten; especially what we eat habitually.
The brain is given credit for the processes of thought,
though some profess to doubt this and maintain thatthought originates outside of us, in the ethereal universe.
But wherever it originates, the processes are certainly
governed by some parts of the body. The brain occupiesthe most strategic position in the body for direction of
thoughts and impulses. It is the logical seat for emotions,
motivating impulses and conscious thinking. The brain isthe great reflex center, from which radiate all the nerves
that control motion and sensation. Just as the brain
depends on the blood for fresh oxygen, what we eatdetermines the health of the blood we have.170
The Fast Foods Industry and their thousands of restaurants serve millions
of meals daily and have greatly accelerated the growth of fast foods that
has changed America’s eating habits!  – Marion Nestle, Author of
Food Politics, How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health
One fourth of what we eat keeps us, and the other
three fourths we keep at the peril of our lives. – AbernethyAlcohol, Toxins and Drugs Are Killers!
A  brain nourished by blood full of toxic poisons isn’t
able to function at its greatest efficiency. Toxins can so
befuddle the brain that clear thinking is impossible. Life-threatening comatose states can result from unusuallydeep types of intoxication, as in alcohol and drug overdoses.
To have a crystal clear, alert and sharp brain you must
keep the toxic poisons in your blood at the lowest levelpossible. You must eat a diet that will supply all yourbrain cells with proper nourishment. Keeping toxicpoisons at the lowest levels calls for regular fasting and
a diet that supplies all the nutrients the brain needs.
Refined, Processed Foods, High in Fat, Salt &
Sugar, Produce Learning Disabled Children
To demonstrate the effect that toxic poisons and
malnutrition have on children, I have talked to many
educators across America. They have thousands ofchildren between the ages of
 6 and 17 that are having
difficulty being educated. Their brains are sick and slowfrom toxic poisons and malnutrition because of thestandard American refined Diet (
S.A.D. ). These children
have been fed on breakfast, lunch and dinner foods thathad most all the nutrients refined out of them, thentoxic preservatives added. Although the schools areblamed for turning out uneducated students, often thisisn’t the fault of the teacher. The blame lies on theparents for their children’s unhealthy lifestyle!
Parents are often misled by TV, radio, magazine and
newspaper advertising. These tell the parents to give thechildren processed foods which are largely composed ofrefined starch, sugar and fat. These “empty calorie” junkfast foods quickly satisfy a child’s appetite, but containpractically no healthy nutrients to build long-term health.171Worthless Enriched


 the ght, the deeper your diculties, until you actually
damage yourself and the other and act against your own best
interest. You are then faced with a further conict, which  arises out
of the rst dualistic split. In order to avoid a total rift, with all its
real and imagined threats— for real damage has begun to be
wrought—you are now faced  with the alternatives of having to give
in, in order to appease your friend and avoid further damage to
yourself, or to continue ghting. Since you are still convinced that
there is a right versus a wrong, such appeasement robs you of self-
respect and you ght agains t that. Whether you use this “solution”or not, you will be torn between ghting or submitting. Both create
tension, anxiety, and inner and outer disadvantages.
Thus, a second  duality develops out of the rst. The rst is: “Who
is right and who is wrong?  Only I can be right. Otherwise all is
bad.” The second is either giving in to a wrong that you cannot
admit, for it is a total wrong, or continuing the ght. Admitting a
wrong means death, in a sense. So you are faced  with the
alternatives of either admitting a wrong, which means death in the
deep psyche, in order to avoid dreaded consequence s and the
possibility of a real risk, putting your life at a grave disadvantage,
again death, in the deepest sense, or insisting on your total
rightness. Any way you turn you nd death, loss, annihi lation. The
harder you ght for and against, the less there is to ght for and the
more all alternatives turn against you. The illusion that one side was
good and the other was bad has brought you to the inevitable next
step on this road of illusion, which is that all alternatives are bad.
All dualistic struggle is fated to lead you into further traps, which
are all products of illusion.
When the road to the unie d principle is chosen, soon what at
rst appeared as one certain good and one obvious bad ceases to be
so, and you inevitably encounter good and bad on both ends. When
this road is pursued still further, no longer is there any bad, but only
good. The road leads deep inside the real self, into truth  that goes
way beyond the fearful little ego’s interests. When this truth is
sought deep inside the self, one approaches the unied state of
consciousness. Our example is a banal one and can be translated
into many everyday issues, big or small. It can take shape as a small
squabble betwe en mates or as a conict between countries at war. It
exists in all diculties humanity encounters, individually and
collectively. As long as you nd yourself in this illusory dualistic
conict, you will experience hopelessness, for there is no way out on
the dualistic plane of thinking. As long as your very existence is
identied with the ego-self and therefore with the dualistic
approach to life, you cannot help but despair, no matter how much
this despair is covered up or momentarily alleviated by occasional
success with the desirable alternative of the two opposites. Thehelplessness and hopelessness, the wasted energy of the dualistic
struggle, rob you of your birthright. You can nd your birthright only
on the plane of unication.
Since everything you learn from your education and environment
is geared to dualistic standards, it is not surprising that you are
totally attached  and adapted to this state of consciousness. And even
when you learn about the other possibility, you are fright ened of it.
You cannot believe in it and you cling to what you know. This
creates a vicious circle, in that the dualistic rules and precepts,
which condition you to this way of life, are themselves a result of
your fear of giving up the egotistical state that alone  seems to
guarantee life. It appears that giving up this ego state means
annihilation of your individuality, which, of course, is utterly
erroneous. So, you have these dualistic rules becaus e of your
erroneous fears, and you cling to the false fears becau se of your
indoctrination.
Before we discuss in greater detail why you cling to the painful
dualistic state, despite the immediate accessibility of the unied
plane of consciousness, I would like to say more about how to realize
unication within yourself. The real self, the divine principle, the
innite intelligence, or what ever you wish to call that deep inner
center existing  in every human being, contains all wisdom and truth
you can possibly envisage. The truth is so far-reaching and so
directly access ible that no further conict exists when this truth is
allowed to take eect. The ifs and buts of the dualistic state cease to
exist. The knowledge of this inborn intelligence far surpasses the
ego intelligence. It is completely objective; it disregards the small,
vain self-intere st—and this is one of the reasons you fear and avoid
contact with it. The truth that ows out of it equalizes the self with
others. Far from being the annihilation that the ego fears, that truth
opens up the storehouse of vibrant life force and energ y that you
usually use to only a minor degree and that you misuse in directing
your attention and hopes to the dualistic plane, with its tightly held
opinions, false ideas, vanity, pride, self-will, and fear. When this live
center activates you, you begin your limitless unfoldment, a process
whose accomp lishments become possible precisely because the littleego no longer wants to misuse them in order to nd life, as it did,
on the dualistic plane.
The unied real self can always be contacted. Let us again return to
our example in order to see how. The hardest act to perform, which,
in reality, is the easiest act possible, is to ask, “What is the truth of
the matter?” The moment you are more intent on the truth than on
proving that you are right, you contact the divine principle of
transcendent, unied truth. If the desire to be in truth is genuine,
the inspiration must come forth. No matter how strongly
circumstances seem to point in one direction, you must be willing to
relinquish and to question whether what you see is all there is to the
issue. This generous act of integrity  opens the way to the real self.
It will be easier to follow through when you consider that it is not
necessarily a question of either/or, but that there may be aspects of
right in the other person’s view and of wrong in yours, aspects that,
so far, you have not seen because your attention was not even
directed to this eventuality. This approach to a problem
immediately opens the way to rise to the unied plane of existence
and to be moved by the real self. It immediately releases an energy
that is distinctly felt when this act is done with a deep and sincere
commitment. It brings release from tension.
What you then nd out is always totally dierent both from what
you hoped for and feared on the dualistic plane. You nd that you
are not as right and innocen t as you thought, nor as wrong as you
feared. Neither is your opponent. You soon discover aspects of the
matter you never saw before, although they were not necessarily
concealed. You understand exactly how the quarrel came into
existence in the rst place, what led to it, what its history was long
before its actual manifestation. With such discoveries you gain
insight into the very nature of the relationship. You learn about
yourself and the other, you increase your understanding of the laws
of communication. The more vision you gain, the freer, stronger,
and more secure you feel. This vision not only eliminates this
particular conict and shows  the right way to straighten it out, but
it also reveals  important aspects of your general diculties and
makes their elimination easier through this understanding. Thevibrant peace that comes from this extended understanding is of
lasting value. It aects your self-realization and your daily life.
What I described is a typical example of unied, intuitive
understanding: of knowing the truth. After the initial apparent need
for courage and the momen tary resistance to seeing a wider truth
than the egotistic one, your path becomes so much easier than the
struggle that ensues on the either/or plane of the dualistic life.
Before you can bring yoursel f to the unied way of thinking and
being, the tension will mount, for as long as you remain on the
dualistic plane, you struggle against unication because you falsely
believe that the moment you admit and see where you are wrong
and the other is right, you submit and enslave yourself. You become
nothing, worth less, pitiful—and from there it is only a step to
annihilation in your fantasy life. Hence, you feel that leaving your
dualistic plane is the greatest danger. The tension will mount as
your con


. We will make up
everything that you seemed to have in oneness. W e will make a new kind
of love with bodies. We will make a new kind of freed om with
movement of bodies. We will make a new kind of happin ess with
pleasures of the senses to take the place of your Home in Heaven. And
God cannot come in and find you here, you will have privacy, and you
can do anything  that you want.” This is how the body became the central
focus for the ego.
The ego wants God to bless its new world and give reality to the
fantasy of time and space. There is an anger deep down in the mind
because God cannot do this. God cannot give reality to a projected
dream of form! God is divine love. God knows you only as divine love.
This love is abstract light, total joy, constant communication, and peace.
It is infinite and perfect. God would not be God if He granted the ego’s
wish to give this world reality. Therefore, all anger is a temper  tantrum
based on a desire for the temporary to be true and real. Ego tries to lure
you to think that you are free in a world of form, but it doesn’ t tell you
that it, the ego, is the ruler. It thinks that as long as you are busy planning
for the future, dreaming of a better form (or lamenting the past), you
won’ t think about God and the oneness that is your true identity. This isshowing you that the ego is a thought system in your mind that doesn’ t
lead you into a true experience of who you are. It only makes sure you
stay preoccupied in the world of form, in time and space.
So, once  the mind fell asleep and started to dream of separatio n, it
was like a nightmare at first since God and Heaven were completely
pushed out of awareness. It was a deep sleep of forgetfulness, and there
were suddenly two thought systems instead of one. One was the fear-
based thought system of the ego, the “puff,” and the other was the
thought system of God’ s lovin g answer, the Holy Spirit. The ego’s
thought system, based on the premise that an impossible separation
happened, says, “If you ever go back into your mind, and into that white
light, God will get you and destroy you!” This creates a perpetual
neurotic state that compels the mind to constantly seek for answers and
safety where they can’t be found: in the projected forms of this world.
But in the stillness, at the core of our being, the loving answer just keeps
reminding us, “You never left. You never could have separated. God is
not angry at you! Your Father loves you! Your Father will always love
you!”
We can’t solve our problems with the same level of thinking that
created them. We can’t find the solution at the level of the problem, at
the level of separation; the answer has to be a higher order thinking that
lifts us up and back into harmony. You cannot approach a solution with
the sleeping mind since this was the mind that believed in the problem in
the first place. You have to rise above the level of the problem, above
where the problem is perceived, to find the answer. You have a
perceptual problem, and as long as you try to make things bette r and fix
things at the level of the ego, you’re not going anywhere. You’re just
spinning your wheels like a hamster going round and round, and there’ s
no progr ess whatsoever. You are more like the scarecrow in The Wizard
of Oz, where all of your straw is scattered all over the road. But when
you let go of compartmentalizing, categorizing, labeling, and ordering
everything, you find yourself coming into peace. You find yourself
identifying with your true Self and not with a separate identity. The
peace that you find is a state of mind in which you perceive that
everything is perfect, it has always been perfect, and nothing has been
out of order. Your mind just needs some training to reach this awareness.Leaping into Spirit’s Perception
The fall from grace, the separation, which is an idea in the mind and not
a point on the timeline, didn’ t leave us forever lost and without an
answer. At the moment of that tiny mad idea—the separation—God gave
an immediate answer. Being all-knowing love, He answered this doubt
thought, this tiny mad idea, this “puff,” with the awareness that this
never happened, that it is impossible. We can call this answer the Holy
Spirit. The Holy Spirit can be referred to as the still, small voice within
the mind, or the intuition, that guides us. It’s like a presence that we can
sense whenever we get still enough to tune in and listen inwardly. We
need to know this and also become aware of how easily defenses like
judgment, worldly knowledge, denial, and repression are used to dilute
the terror and prevent us from experiencing God’ s answer.
We don’t go from analysis and judgment into perfection witho ut a
willingness to say, “Show me Holy Spirit; I need to be shown.” Even in
moments when you’re upset with God, with life, or with the way you
perceive the situations you’re involved in, you need to be willing to
perceive things differently and open up to relying on the Spirit’ s healed
perception.
You need help to truly see anoth er world than the one you projected
from your ego’s fear and doubt and worry. You can freely say, “You need
to convince me,” and throw it all back to the Holy Spirit. Ask to be
shown. Let it be a convincing job for the multitude of angels cheering
every time you make a movem ent toward trusting your intuition. That
should catch your attention and turn you toward the miracle in your
mind. You need the Holy Spirit’ s help to see things as they are, to see
clearly without projection, judgment, and interpretation.
As soon as the ego judges somebody else as lacking, it always
compares and tells you, “Well, you are not that way; you are beyond
that.” This promotes inequality, division, and separation. You need to ask
the Holy Spirit to start cleaning the filter you are seeing through  because
that truly is the only hope you have of not judging. Once you tap in to
that help, it is delightful. Every moment without a filter is deligh tful. But
if there is a concept or a judgment involved, then it is bette r to justpause, introspect, and become aware of what that filter is. You can
cultivate a willingness to quest ion every value and every concept you
hold. When you catch yourse lf judging or thinking that you know
something, I advise you to exercise what I call, “stop, drop, and roll.”
You first pause your running thoughts and your reactions; you stop! And
second, you exercise your willin gness to drop it. And third, you roll with
the Spirit’ s guidance.
When your filter starts clearin g and the more intuitive and less
judging you become, the more you reap the emotional benefits.  You can
tell by how you feel: you’re more stable, you’re calmer, and this is how
you know you’re headed in the right direction. This develops into
acceptance and a receptive mind, an open mind, a mind that doesn’ t
“already know.” Then the miracle within can happen.
It’s norm al in this world to encourage opinions, but opinions block
the experience of peace. Opinions do not have anything to do with truth
or reality. The “I-don’ t-know” state is humble. In the Zen tradition, it is
called beginner ’s mind. It is a great experience to wake up every  day and
feel like you don’t know anything. It’s a beautiful feeling to not have an
opinion but to be open to be shown.Exercise: Moving from Opinions to Prayer
Spend one day observing the I-know mind and try spending it
without one single opinion. Try it out! Get the flavor of it. As you
go through your day, ask yourself, “Where is my mind when I am
caught up in my opinions, thinking I know something, and how do
I feel when I am open and I do not think I already know the
answers?”
Throughout your day, notice how many times you:
think you know the answer to something
want to know the answer
say or think opinionated statements
make assumptions about someone or something
interrupt a conversation because you think you know better
than someone
do something solely based on past outcomes and past
learning
After your practice day of having no opinions, spend some
time reflecting in your journal. Find a quiet place where you won’t
be distu rbed. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, relax,
and allow your mind to get still for a few minutes. Then, read the
following questions slowly. Reflect and write down your answers.
Allow yourself to have an experience of the answer—go  beyond
the intellect.
1. Has my way, my own “knowle dge,” brought me to a state of
consistent peace and happiness?
2. Seeing that my “knowledge” or choices have not yet led me
to a state of consistent peace and happiness, am I willing to
open to the possibility of another


accomplishment. This time I enjoy it, allowing the taste to linger a while. That one tablespoonful is a seven-course banquet all rolled into one. The taste is fantastic. (This
is the way it is after a fast, whether soup, orange juice carrot and celery juice, or
whatever is used to break the fast. The body is so clean and the taste so unperverted,
that the simplest of foods provides a flavor  which is indescribable to one who has not
fasted. At the time I don't think anything equals it.) I sip the soup very slowly, fighting the temptation to gulp it all down at once. Lunch is another small bowl of the
clear vegetable broth. Mid-afternoon I receive four ounces of fresh carrot and celery
juice, which I take slowly. Supper is a small bowl of a mixed vegetable soup with some of the vegetables pureed. Later in the evening, about four ounces of fresh carrot
and celery juice. A very comfortable day, not only physically but psychologically as
well, now that I'm eating. The thrill and enjoyment of eating cannot be expressed in
words. Slept a little better.
   Saturday, October 17, 1964 --2nd eating day: Wake up feeling alive and vital for the
first time. My tongue is completely pink and smooth. Weight 110-3/4 pounds; a gain
of 2-3/4 pounds after one day of eating. Blood pressure 86/60. Very hungry. Breakfast: pureed zucchini squash soup. Lunc h: two very ripe bananas, mashed. Mid-
afternoon snack: cup of pureed tomato-veget able soup. Supper: four ounces of carrot
and celery juice and a mashed banana. (All foods eaten, with the exception of a dry,
no-salt, no-chemicals-added cottage cheese, are fresh natural foods grown from the
ground, unadulterated, unprocessed, and unchemicalized. Nothing is canned or bottled. This includes all fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. The nuts and seeds--
pumpkin or sunflower--are unsalted and unroast ed. The diet is vegetarian and no meat
is ever used. I'll explain all this in a subsequent chapter.) The way my fast is being
broken is not necessarily the way someone el se might have their fast broken, because
each person is an individual and has different needs and idiosyncrasies. Many fasts are broken on such things as orange juice, carrot and celery juice, and various
vegetable juices. My situation is rather unique in that I have been forbidden by my
past doctors to eat anything with roughage. It has been over six years since I've had
any of this type of food. The purpose of this fast is to allow healing so this type of food may be eaten and handled by the body. Had five B.M.s of varying looseness
between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.    Sunday, October 18, 1964 --3rd eating day: Wake up hungry and feeling strong and
alert. Able to arise from any position without light-headedness. Weight 112-1/2 pounds; a gain of 1-3/4 pounds from yesterday and a total gain of 4-1/2 pounds and
Blood pressure 90/60. It is a delight to awaken with a relish for food and to look
forward to the rest of the day. Breakfast: two baked apples. A semi-formed B.M. after
breakfast. Lunch: pureed tomato-vegetable soup, small cup of dry cottage cheese.
(Nuts--ground at this stage--would be prefer able, but because of the severe damage to
my large intestine, Dr. Gross was being very conservative at the beginning.
Eventually, miracle of miracles, I shall be ab le to properly digest nuts as a source of
concentrated protein.) A semi-loose B.M. after lunch. Feel marvelous today. Able to
take a longer walk. Tremendous feeling of energy and well-being. Not bothered by
gas in stomach or intestines all day. This is the first time in the six years of medical treatment I am "gas-free." Supper: blended, steamed acorn squash and a baked potato.
A B.M. after supper and again at 10:00 p.m. (The cycle of peristalsis--intestinal
motility--is still very much stimulated by the intake of food. This gradually lessens,
although in my case it will take several years; but I'm patient. After all, what else have
I to do but regain health? Nothing else matters without it.) Sleep was at intervals, but
improved.
   Tuesday, October 20, 1964 --5th eating day: Weight 115-3/4 pounds; a gain of 1-3/4
pounds from yesterday and a total gain of 7-3/4 pounds after four days of eating.
Breakfast: four baked apples and a mashed banana. Lunch: pureed steamed peas and
two baked potatoes. Supper: pureed steamed asparagus, pureed steamed carrots, and
two baked sweet potatoes (yams). Some indigestion present all evening. Six B.M.s
today, with some mass to them, usually following after each meal. Spent most of the day resting in bed. I take occasional walks, but enjoy most talking with the people
here. They are from all walks of life, religi ons, and races. We all have one thing in
common and that is we are all sick in one degree or another and are trying to regain our most precious possession--health. Of course there are many people who have
good health who come here periodically to fa st, rest, re-charge their batteries, so to
speak, and maintain their health. But even wi th all this camaraderie, I wish more than
ever to be home. I've spent most of the la st few weeks resting in bed. I've watched
summer pass, the leaves change into glorious splashes of color and then say goodbye to their summer home in the trees as they, flutter to the ground. Autumn is in the air
and the days are mild, but the mornings and evenings are crisp. I love to take walks
now that the leaves are fallen. I love the sound of brittle leaves crunching deliciously
beneath my feet, although it makes me more homesick as I'm reminded of the long
walks Corinne and I take in autumn. Sleep is sporadic, but deepest in the early
morning hours.
   Wednesday, October 21, 1964 --6th eating day: Weight 117-3/4 pounds; a gain of 2
pounds from yesterday and a total gain of 9-3/4 pounds after five days of eating.
Blood pressure 96/60. Breakfast: four baked a pples and four mashed bananas. Lunch:
pureed vegetable stew, pureed steamed green beans, and two baked potatoes. Supper:
pureed mixed vegetables and two baked potatoes. Three B.M.s today with more mass
and less looseness. Wonderful day. I continue to feel vital, alive, and gaining in strength. I anticipate and relish each meal and each morsel of food with a zest I have
never known before. It is a sensation I wish  never to abandon or to have abandon me.
Slept fairly. Up only once for trip to the "john," whereas in the past years I would
wake at least five or six times a night to heed the urge. In fact, ulcerative colitis victims are usually annoyed most during the night, because the cramping and spasms
constantly cause them to waken. But in th e morning as soon as they are awake, the
slightest movement, because the colon is like a straight tube, causes repeated and
hectic journeys to the bathroom until there is nothing left to evacuate. This just adds
to the already depressing, enervating, and sometimes disgusting state of "existence" in
which we seem to be hopelessly suspended.
   Thursday, October 22, 1964 --7th eating day: Weight 121-1/4 pounds; a gain of 3-
1/2 pounds from yesterday and a total gain of 13-1/4 pounds after six days of eating.
Breakfast: eight baked apples and five bana nas. (This is the most I have eaten for
breakfast at Pawling. This is actually too much food, particularly for one who doesn't
need excessive stimulation of the intestinal tract, but in my case the appetite became
ravenous and had to be satisfied or I'd have  become very nervous and tense. This only
lasted about two weeks and then tapered off to a point where I needed only
surprisingly small amounts of food to satisfy the body's requirements. This ravenous appetite has occurred on all my subsequent fasts because, as you can see by the rapid
weight gains, I'm a fast rebounder and am able to utilize all my food. During the years
of active ulcerative colitis, I had a malabsor ption problem, as most of those afflicted
do, and whatever I ate would pass hurriedly through me and out again, many times
unchanged and looking the same as it did when I put it in my mouth. So what happens over the years? Even though we colitis victims eat, we suffer from malnutrition
because we don't digest and assimilate (absorb and utilize) the food. There were times
when I ate so much at the Manor


 nurse took me
to her wonderful Sanitarium in
Switzerland where the great
physician, Dr. August Rollier,
gave me a new life by using all
natural healing methods. He
administered no drugs of any
kind – just distilled (rain) w ater, good nutrition, sunshine,
fresh air, deep br eathing, massage and exer cise. In 2 years,
I was healthy and strong as a young stallion. Now I was
ready to achieve my life’ s ambition of helping others to
help themselves to superb health! (see Bragg Bio back page )
Nature, time and patience are the three greatest physicians. – Irish Proverb
Up to 90% of deaths annually are self-inflicted by unhealthy lifestyle!
Dear friend, I wish above all things that thou may prosper
and be in health even as the soul prospers.  – 3 John 2 The Secret of Rain and Snow W ater:
It’s Distilled By Mother Nature
Many of the practices of
Dr. Rollier’ s Sanitarium are
now standard T.B. treatments.
In many ways, this doctor was
years ahead of others and his
wise health care saved my life!
He was ver y insistent upon
one point: “No hard water should ever be given to a
patient.” Although water is abundant in Switzerland,
Dr. Rollier gave us only water fr om rain and melted snow
(distilled by Mother Nature). He was also a great believer
in the use of fresh vegetable and fruit juices.
Dr. Rollier always told us the r easons for his
treatments. He explained, “Practically all of the water
in Switzerland is heavy or hard water, loaded with
inorganic minerals. This hard water burdens and brings
only harm to our bodies, because the body chemistr y
can assimilate only organic living foods and liquids.”
I admired, loved and followed Dr. Rollier because he
gave logical answers to my questions. What a brilliant
man! He brought healing to patients from all over the
world who had been doomed to die, including myself.
When I left the sanitarium, he cautioned me that I must
drink only rain and snow waters, vegetable and fruit
juices (all distilled by Mother Natur e) and distilled water.

The Answer to Healthful Living
Pondering Dr. Rollier’ s advice, I thought, “Could it
be possible that my grandfather’ s death fr om a stroke
and Bessie Louise’ s death from crippling arthritis had a
common basis? W as it due to drinking hard water and
eating dead, devitalized foods?” These questions nagged
at me. I had to find the answers. I felt a great burden; a
burden that could be lifted only when I found the truth.
Then the answers to such disease and premature death
would no longer be a myster y!
The secret of longevity is eating and drinking intelligently.  – Gayelord Hauser It was then that I pledged to God to be a biochemist,
nutritionist and doctor who healed using only natural
methods. After I left the Sanitarium, I spent 8 years in
school and doing resear ch for knowledge which would
equip me to help sufferers help themselves to health!
We’ve been blessed by helping millions to better health
and we’re more enthusiastic than ever about the miracle
healing powers of God and Mother Natur e. That’ s why
my daughter Patricia and I wrote this life-changing book,
which has lead the way to pure water for millions, here’ s
the answers that will save millions from suffering!
My First T wo Challenging Cases
44
McLean and Bragg As noted earlier, after my two years at Dr. Rollier’ s
Sanitarium in Switzerland, I was reborn with a new
healthy life! Completely cured of T.B., I was in excellent
condition. The Alpine sunshine, the pure rain and snow
distilled water to drink, the clean air of the Alps and the
natural diet had given me a new body. Ever y cell in my
body vibrated with vigorous health! Now I was ready to
study biochemistr y and other related health subjects to
prepare for my life’ s work being a health crusader.
Deciding to live and study in London, I found a small
apartment not far from the famous Regent’ s Park. In
my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful parks in
the world. Here I could take my early morning runs,
hikes and play tennis. In my apartment, I could prepare
and enjoy my live food meals and fresh juices.
The owner of the building lived
on the first floor. He and his wife
were the typical, prematurely old
people. They ate the regular English
diet. It contained refined white
flour (bread, biscuits, pastries and

jellies along with gallons of black tea full of sugar and milk.
Their vegetables and meats wer e all over cooked. T o top it
all, they drank London tap water, which was heavily

– Linda Rector Page, N.D., Ph.D., Healthy Healing – www.healthyhealing.com 46 When I came to inspect the fifth floor apartment – a
“walk-up” with no “lift” or elevator – the owner, Mr.
Wilson, gave me the key and told me his joints were so
stiff that he could not walk up the five flights. So I
went up alone and found the apartment to be exactly
what I wanted. Among other things to my liking, it
was unheated. However, there were small, built-in
grates; if I wanted heat, I would have to order coal and
have it delivered in bags, so I could car ry it upstairs.
I settled down comfortably in my fifth floor London
apartment and started my schooling in biochemistry.
My landlords, the W ilsons, were ver y friendly and from
time to time I would drop by their apartment for a visit.
Both of these nice English people had numerous physical
troubles. Mr. Wilson suffered greatly from low back pain,
as well as pains in all his moveable joints and some form
of bladder disease. Mrs. W ilson was not much better of f.
She was 50 pounds over weight and huffed and puffed
with ever y move. She also suf fered from kidney disease.
During my visits, a good part of our conversation was
centered around their many ailments.
By this time, the cruel London winter had set in.
Outside, it was damp and cold. But each day before dawn,
I would put on my heavy sweat clothes and take a long
run in Regent’ s Park, returning to the apar tment glowing
with good cir culation and health. I never had as much as
a sniffle all winter, but the W ilsons were plagued with one
cold after another. They had large amounts of toxic mucus
pouring out and felt terrible most of the winter.
One Saturday, when I stopped by their apartment after
my morning run, I could see that Mr. Wilson was
desperately ill. He was running a high fever and his nose
was so completely stuffed up that he had to breathe
through his mouth. I went into his bedroom, which was
overheated and had very little oxygen. The poor man
looked up and said, “For God’ s sake, you’re studying health,
help me! I feel so sick – like I’m dying!”. “Mr. Wilson,” I
told him confidently, “if you will follow the natural system
of healing I outline for you, you can get well”!
Knowing these teachings will mean true life and good health for you.
 – Proverbs 4:22 From Sickness to Superb Health
I knew I could help him, but I wondered before
making my offer if he was strong enough of mind and
wanted to achieve health passionately enough? “I will
follow your instr uctions to the letter,” he stated in
desperation, like a drowning man grasping a helping hand.
“Good! T oday you will start on a 10 day cleansing
fast.” I picked up the bottles on the bedside table. “Soon
all this m edication will go down the drain.” I brought

Vitamins For An Older Healthy Person
    Someone who is beyond 35 to 40 years of age should still feel good almost all of the time. That is how life should be. But
enjoying well -being does not mean that no dietary supplementation is called for. The onset of middle age is the appropriate time to
begin working on continuing to feel well for as long as possible. Just like a car, if you take very good care of it from the beginning,
it is likely to run smoothly for many years into the future. If on the other hand you drive it hard and fast with a l ot of deferred
maintenance you will probably have to trade it in on a new one after a very few years. Most people in their 70s and older who  are
struggling with many uncomfortable symptoms and low energy lament, 'if I'd only known I was going to live so lo ng I would have
taken better care of myself.' But at that point it is too late for the old donkey; time for a trade in.
    Gerontologists refer to combating the aging process as "squaring the curve." We arrive at the peak of our physical function a t
about  age eighteen. How high that peak level is depends on a person's genetic endowment, the quality of the start they received
through their mother's nutritional reserves, and the quality of their childhood nutrition and life experience. From that peak  our
function begins to drop. The rate of drop is not uniform, but is a cascade where each bit of deterioration creates more deterior ation,
accelerating the rate of deterioration.

Because deterioration starts out so slowly, people usually do not begin to notice there has been any decline until they reach their
late 30s. A few fortunate ones don't notice it until their 40s. A few (usually) dishonest ones claim no losses into their 50s  but they
are almost inevitably lying, either to you or to themselves, or both. T hough it might be wisest to begin combating the aging process
at age 19, practically speaking, no one is going to start spending substantial money on food supplements until they actually notice
significant lost function. For non -athletes this point usually  comes when function has dropped to about 90 percent of what it was in
our youth. If they're lucky what people usually notice with the beginnings of middle age is an increasing inability for their  bodies
to tolerate insults such as a night on the town or a  big meal. Or they may begin to get colds that just won't seem to go away. Or
they may begin coming home after work so tired that they can hardly stay awake and begin falling asleep in their Lazy Boy
recliner in front of the TV even before prime time. If t hey're not so lucky they'll begin suffering the initial twinges of a non -life-
threatening chronic condition like arthritis.
    The thinnest line demonstrates the worst possible life from a purely physical point of view, where a person started out life with
significantly lowered function, lost quite a bit more and then hung on to life for many years without the mercy of death.

    If one can postpone the deterioration of aging, they extend and hopefully square the curve (retard loss of function until lat er and
then have the loss occur more rapidly). Someone whose lifetime function resembled a "square curve"(the thickest, topmost line )
would experience little or no deterioration until the very end and then would lose function precipitously. At this point we do not
know how to eliminate the deterioration but we do know how to slow it down, living longer and feeling better, at least to a p oint
close to the very end.
    Vitamin supplements can actually slow or even to a degree, reverse, the aging process. Howev er, to accomplish that task, they
have to be taken in amounts far greater than so -called minimum daily requirements, using vitamins as though they were drugs, a
therapeutic approach to changing body chemistry profiles and making them resemble a younger bod y. For example, research
gerontologists like Walford reason that if pantothenic acid (vitamin B 5, in fairly substantial (but quite safe) doses can ex tend the
life and improve the function of old rats, there is every indication that it will do a similar jo b on humans. Medical researchers and
research gerontologists have noticed that many other vitamin and vitamin -like substances have similar effects on laboratory
animals.
    Some will object that what helps rats and mice is in no way proven to cause the s ame result on humans. I agree. Proven with full
scientific rigor, no. In fact, at present, the contention is unprovable. Demonstrable as having a high likelihood's of being so, yes!
So likely so as to be almost incontrovertible, yes! But provable to the mo st open -minded, scientific sort –probably not for a long
time. However, the Life Extension Foundation is working hard to find some quantifiable method of gauging the aging process in
humans without waiting for the inarguable indicator, death. Once this is a ccomplished and solidly recognized, probably no rational
person will be able to doubt that human life span can be increased.
    Experiments work far better with short -lived laboratory animals for another reason; we can not control the food and supplement
intakes of humans as we can with caged mice. In fact, there are special types of laboratory mice that have been bred to have
uniformly short life spans, especially to accelerate this kind of research. With mice we can state accurately that compared t o a
control group, feeding such and such a dose of such and such a supplement extended the life -span or functional performance by
such and such a percent.
    A lot of these very same medical gerontologists nourish their own bodies as thoroughly as the laborato ry animals they are
studying, taking broad mixes of food supplements at doses proportional to those that extend the life spans of their research
animals. This approach to using supplementation is at the other end of the scale compared to using supplements to prevent gross
deficiencies. In the life extension approach, vitamins and vitamin -like substances are used as a therapy against the aging process
itself.
    Will it work? Well, some of these human guinea pigs have been on heavy vitamin supplementation for over thirty years (as of
1995) and none seem to be suffering any damage. Will they live longer? It is impossible to say with full scientific rigor? To  know
if life extension works, we would have to first determine "live longer than what?" After all, we  don't know how long any person
might have lived without life extending vitamin supplements. Though it can't be "proven," it makes perfect sense to me to spe nd
far less money on an intensive life extension vitamin program than I would certainly lose as a r esult of age -related sickness.
    Besides, I've already observed from personal use and from results in my clinical practice that life extension vitamin program s do
work. Whether I and my clients will ultimately live longer or not, the people who I have pu t on these programs, including myself
and my husband, usually report that for several years after starting they find themselves feeling progressively younger, grad ually
returning to an overall state of greater well -being they knew five or ten or fifteen ye ars ago. They have more energy, feel clearer
mentally, have fewer unwanted somatic symptoms.
    Sometimes the improvements seem rather miraculous. After a few months on the program one ninety year old man, an
independent -minded Oregonian farmer, reported  that he began awakening with an erection every morning; unfortunately, his 89
year old cranky and somewhat estranged wife, who would not take vitamins, did not appreciate this youthfulness. A few months
later (he had a small farm) he planted a holly orcha rd. Most of you won't appreciate what this means without a bit of explanation,
but in Oregon, holly is grown as a high -priced and highly profitable ornamental for the clusters of leaves and berries. But a slow -
growing holly orchard takes 25 years to began making a profit!
    A few older clients of mine reported that they noticed nothing from the life extension program, but these are unique people w ho


 and empty,
and remains untarnished by any experience, innumerable such emotional
residues linger within it and together form the layer of tendencies and pref -
erences.
     When we experience anything in life that corresponds to any aspect of the
content of this storehouse of emotional residues, the same activity of seeking
or resisting will be triggered that caused it to be laid down in the recesses of
our mind in the first place. If we find ourself reacting disproportionately to
an experience, we can be certain that the residual layer of subliminal feelings
has been activated and is making itself known.
     For instance, one who was neglected or abandoned as a child may find
themselves feeling rejected when their partner looks at another person or
even just requires some time on their own. One who was repeatedly under -
mined as a child may find themselves unreasonably defensive in the face of
criticism or regularly reasserting their fragile sense of self through judgement,
criticism or argument. They may find themselves easily provoked and prone
to taking offence in situations where none was intended.

If these habitual  tendencies  and residual  energies  lie below  the threshold  of
the waking-state mind, are we doomed forever to live out their consequences?
And if not, is it enough to abide as the presence of awareness in the face of them,
or is it necessary to become conscious of them before we are able to get rid of them?

The attempt to get rid of these deep-seated habits and tendencies is itself one
such habit. Thus, attempting to get rid of itself is one of the subtler ways
that the apparently separate self perpetuates itself.
     The apparently separate self thrives on conflict, and if it cannot find
another person to oppose, conflict with itself will suffice. So the first step is
acceptance, openness. Fortunately, openness is the nature of awareness;
it does not have to be manufactured or maintained by effort.
     All that is required is to be knowingly the aware openness within which
this knot of tension is appearing and with which it is known. Ultimately,
the feeling is made of the very awareness within which it appears, just as all
waves and currents are made of the ocean.
     Organisms that live at the bottom of a well rarely see the light of day and
thus remain dormant. However, once a day at midday, the light of the sun
109you are the happiness you seek
shines directly into the shaft of the well and the creatures at the bottom wake
up and begin to make their way to the surface.
     Similarly, the subliminal layer of thoughts and feelings lies below the
threshold of the waking-state mind and is not available to it under normal
circumstances. In most cases, these feelings are too painful to face, and so
we develop strategies to repress or avoid them.
     In this way, their continued existence below the surface of the waking-
state mind remains assured, and they continue to exert their subliminal and
disruptive influence in our lives. They remain at the bottom of the well, so
to speak, often making themselves known in our dreams, or in outbursts of
emotional reactivity or destructive behaviour in the waking state. In fact, the
more they are ignored or repressed, the more they tend to escalate in intensity
as they clamour for our attention.
     When we abide as the resistanceless presence of awareness, however, we
no longer have a negative or repressive attitude towards such feelings and
they are, as a result, allowed to surface. The deep-seated tendencies that lie
in the ‘unconscious’ – the recesses of the mind that are not accessible to the
waking state – begin to rise to the surface, attracted by the sun of awareness.
This attitude of allowing or welcoming is itself both the exposing and the
dissolving of these subliminal tendencies.
     As these residual layers of buried emotion dissipate and the natural open -
ness of awareness becomes increasingly obvious, fewer and fewer circum -
stances in our life retain the power to provoke the activity of seeking and
resisting. As a result, we begin to find ourself at peace and fulfilled in cir -
cumstances that would have previously been a source of suffering and con -
flict. We are becoming established in the peace of our true nature.

In the absence of resistance, we no longer separate ourself from the universe as
an independently existing entity by disliking what is present or seeking what
is not present. In fact, in this case there is no ‘we’ and the rest of the universe.
The universe is a  universe, not a multiverse. It is a single, indivisible whole.
     Our likes and dislikes, and the activity of seeking and resisting which
they generate, are the mechanism by which we set ourself up as a separate
entity apart from all others and the world. Prior to the arising of that activity,
the current situation is a dance of interrelated elements in which no person
or thing stands out with its own separate or independent existence.
110suffering is our own activity
     In the ultimate analysis, there are no people or things. Discrete objects are
only such from the perspective of an illusory separate self or ego. Through the
activity of seeking and resisting, we artificially extract ourself from the totality of
the current situation as an apparently separate and independent entity, the ego.
     It is that imaginary entity who, through its own activity of liking and
disliking, sets itself apart from all objects and others. As a result, it is always
in conflict with the universe, a conflict that it cannot win. Such a one is des -
tined for frustration and disappointment, thereby inflicting suffering upon
itself and creating conflict with whomever it comes in contact.
     Neither will the activities of such an entity contribute to the long-term
good of humanity, although they may make a difference in the short term.
The sense of separation that lies at its origin will be imprinted subliminally
within all of its activities and will, in time, initiate further conflict. It is for
this reason that so many injustices in our civilisation have yet to be remedied
in spite of centuries of well-intentioned intervention.
     The primary distinction between self and other, which is initiated and
perpetuated by the activity of seeking and resisting, is the birth of duality.
It is the departure from the Garden of Eden. It is the activity through which
the unity of being is fragmented into an apparent multiplicity and diversity
of discrete and independently existing objects and selves.
     It is the activity of separation, the inevitable consequence of which is
unhappiness on the inside, conflict between individuals, communities and
nations on the outside, and the exploitation and degradation of the earth.

Most of the great religious and spiritual traditions contain at their origin the
understanding that the peace and fulfilment for which all people long lies in
the depths of their own being and is equally available to all people, at all
times and under all circumstances, except in rare cases when the safety or
well-being of the body is severely compromised.
     However, in time this understanding has, to a greater or lesser extent,
become mixed with extraneous elements, derived either from the local, tem -
poral customs of the culture in which the tradition originated or from mis -
understandings that have mystified and complicated this simple and direct
approach.
111you are the happiness you seek
     Devoid of this understanding, our world culture can offer only temporary
distraction from uncomfortable feelings through the acquisition of objects,
substances, activities, states of mind and relationships. However, as soon as
the object, substance, activity, and so on, has worn off or come to an end,
the underlying suffering surfaces again, compounding the cycle of suffering,
seeking and avoidance that is the basis of all addiction.
     I was once on a flight from San Francisco to Seattle, during which I was
editing an article on the source of addiction. In an uncanny and poignant
moment of synchronicity, the obese woman sitting next to me, with whom
I had been conversing off and on during the flight, ordered yet another snack
and, turning to me with a sigh of relief which thinly veiled the look of despair
in her eyes, said, ‘The more I eat, the better I feel’.
     Little did she know that the smile I gave her was not only in response to
the succinctness with which she had expressed the very syndrome about
which I was currently writing but, more importantly, contained a prayer that
one day a pause might open up in her cycle of lack, avoidance and fleeting
fulfilment, in which the background of peace for which she longed would
make itself known to her.
     Many people are forever in search of new objects, experiences or rela -
tionships in order to mask the unbearable void they feel in the centre of
themselves, without realising that what they really seek is to be brought into
harmony with the now, irrespective of its content, so as to taste the peace
and joy of their true nature.

Each of us is faced with a simple choice at every moment: to embrace our
current circumstance and respond to it from that position of openness, or
to view the situation through the filter of our past conditioning and reject it
on that basis. If we welcome whatever we are currently experiencing – the
state of our health, the behaviour of our partner,


 help us by breaking up mucous accumulations so
that these may be eliminated from the system. Instead of helping them
by cleansing the body of the waste matter by means of colonics and
enemas, attempts are made to "dry up" the mucus and "shrink the
membranes" with applications of adrenaline, epinephrine, or other
drugs. Even "sulfa" drugs now known to be virulent and pernicious
are sometimes used without regard, consideration, or understanding
of the eventual damage, injury or danger resulting from their use.
The most injurious results are essentially developed when the
waste matter, consisting particularly of these drugs and of the sewage
of the germ colonies, are allowed to remain in the "infected" and
adjacent parts instead of being eliminated as quickly as possible.
We have in our body the most perfect systems of elimination if
we will but get them into efficient working condition.
Our lungs must be free of foul air, tobacco smoke, etc.; our skin
must be active so that the pores may pour out the toxins carried there
by the lymph; the kidneys must have freedom of action without
interference from alcohol and uric acid products; and our colon must
have whatever internal washing it needs to remove the accumulations
of 30, 40, and 50 years or more.
That is only part of the program. The cells and tissues of the
entire body must get live organic nourishment. This means that for
some time at least, we should forego as much as possible all those
foods whose vital energy — whose life element — has been destroyed
by heat or by processing. We may be guided by the contents of my
book DIET & SALAD SUGGESTIONS, which has brought
innumerable commendations from readers who have benefited by
19 putting into practice the very simple rules and menus contained
therein.
To carrot and alfalfa juice, lettuce juice may be added to enrich
the combination with elements particularly needed by the roots of the
hair. Drinking this combination daily, one pint a day, may help the
growth of hair to a remarkable extent.
ASPARAGUS JUICE
Asparagus contains an alkaloid known as Asparagine in a relatively
large amount. (Alkaloids are found in living plants. They contain the
active life principle of the plant, without which it cannot grow or stay
alive). It is composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen,
and oxygen.
When asparagus is cooked or canned, the value of this alkaloid is
lost, as the hydrogen and oxygen are dissipated and the natural salts
formed by the combination of this alkaloid with the other elements
are virtually lost or their value is destroyed.
In the form of juice, asparagus has been very effectively used as
a diuretic, particularly when combined with some carrot juice, as it
may prove to be uncomfortably strong in its reaction on the kidneys
when taken alone.
It is a beneficial juice in the case of kidney disfunctions and in
the regulation of general glandular troubles. Diabetes and anemia are
helped by the use of it in conjunction with the juices more specifically
outlined for these conditions.
As this juice helps the breaking up of oxalic acid crystals in the
kidneys and throughout the muscular system, it is good for
rheumatism, neuritis, etc. Rheumatism results from the end product
of the digestion of meat and meat products, which generate excessive
amounts of urea.
As the human system cannot completely digest and assimilate
so-called "complete proteins", such as meats and meat products, the
ingestion of too much of these causes the greater part of the uric acid
generated thereby to be absorbed into the muscles.
The continuous use of meat protein taxes the workings of the
kidneys and of other eliminative organs, straining them to the point
where a progressively smaller amount of uric acid is eliminated and a
correspondingly greater amount is absorbed by the muscles. The result
is painfully known as rheumatism.
20 This condition is also one of the underlying causes for prostate
gland trouble, in which case this juice combination, in addition to the
carrot, beet, and cucumber juice has been helpful.
BEET JUICE
This is one of the most valuable juices for helping to build up the
red corpuscles of the blood and tone up the blood generally. Women,
particularly, have been benefited by drinking at least one pint of a
combination of carrot and beet juice daily. The proportion in this
combination may vary from 3 to 8 ounces of beet juice, using roots
and tops, in one pint of the combined juices, carrot and beet.
Taken alone, beet juice, in greater quantities than a wineglass at a
time, may cause a cleansing reaction which may make one a little
dizzy or nauseated. This may be the result of its cleansing effect on
the liver and may, therefore, be uncomfortable. It has been found
from experience that it is best to take less beet juice and more carrot
juice in the beginning until one can tolerate its beneficial cleansing
effect — then to increase the proportion of beet juice gradually. One
6 or 8-ounce glassful twice daily is usually considered sufficient.
For menstrual disturbances beet juice has been very helpful,
particularly when, during such periods, it has been used in small
quantities, not more than a wineglass at a time (say, 2 or 3 ounces)
two or three times a day. During menopause this procedure has been
found much more permanently helpful than the degenerative effects
of drugs or synthetic hormones. After all, any drug or inorganic
synthetic chemical product cannot possibly have any more than a
temporary effect in giving relief; the one who takes such drugs or
synthetic hormones is the one who may suffer eventually when the
body and Nature combine in attempts to eliminate such inorganic
material from the system. Any drug that can be guaranteed to relieve
or cure permanently any sick condition of the body can also be
guaranteed to start some other and probably more serious condition
some time later. It is the one who takes the drug that suffers in the
long run, not those who advertise or administer it.
After all is said and done, Nature has furnished us with natural
means through which we may seek health, energy, vigor, and vitality.
She has also furnished us, in greater or lesser degrees, with intelligence
with which to pursue our search for knowledge. If we use our
intelligence, Nature smiles on us. If we do not use it, she stands by
with infinite patience and compassion, wondering why her handiwork
should turn out so badly.
21 While the actual content of iron in red beets is not high, it is of a
quality that furnishes excellent food for the red corpuscles of the
blood. The greatest virtue of the chemical elements in the beet is the
fact that more than 50% is sodium, while the calcium content is only
about 5%. This is a valuable proportion for maintaining the solubility
of calcium, particularly when, as a result of eating cooked foods,
inorganic calcium has been permitted to accumulate in the system
and has formed deposits within the blood vessels, resulting in a
toughening of the walls, as in the case of varicose veins and hardening
of the arteries, or a thickening of the blood, resulting in high blood
pressure and other forms of heart trouble.
The 20% potassium content furnishes the general nourishment
for all the physiological functions of the body, while the 8% content
of chlorine furnishes a splendid organic cleanser of the liver, kidneys,
and gall bladder, also stimulating the activity of the lymph throughout
the entire body.
The combination of carrot and beet juice furnishes a good
percentage of phosphorous and sulphur on the one hand, and potassium
and other alkaline elements on the other hand, which, together with
the high content of Vitamin A, completes what is probably the best
natural builder of the blood cells and particularly the red blood
corpuscles.
CARROT, BEET AND COCONUT JUICE
With the addition of some pure coconut milk extracted from the
meat of the coconut making a combination of carrot, beet, and coconut
juice, a food is obtained which, in addition to its properties as an
intensive body builder, has even more potent qualities as a cleanser
of the kidneys and gall bladder. If properly prepared, this combination
contains the alkaline elements potassium, sodium, calcium,
magnesium, and iron in abundance and the other elements phosphorus,
sulphur, silicon, and chlorine in ample and correct proportions.
CARROT, BEET AND CUCUMBER JUICE
Gallstones, kidney stones, and gravel in the gall bladder and
kidneys are the natural result of the inability of the body functions to
eliminate from the system the inorganic calcium deposits formed after
eating concentrated starches and sugars.
The gall bladder is directly connected with the liver and with the
blood stream by means of the bile duct and the hepatic duct. All the
22 food we eat is "broken down" in the digestive tract, and the elements
it contains are carried by the blood to the liver for further processing
and segregation. No concentrated grain or flour product can be
completely utilized for the reconstruction of cells and tissues,
particularly if it has been devitalized by heat. Its component elements,
however, must necessarily pass through the liver; and

I answered to her and she said me that I must leave the hospital and go to a

I said to her what she was going to think it If I leave it to God.
When several Doctors got to review me I asked them, What if they were going
to cure me by taking the tumor out, but again I would have another tumor grow?
They did not answer. I only saw their eyes and I interpreted their silence.
Soon after I ask that J better leave the hospital and I want to go to my house.
They said to me that was far better and there is a possible that I may live more
time. They helped me to leave and to discharge me the from the hospital.
