 breathing, and there is as yet nocomprehensive evidence to show  how long a child’ s mouth breathing must
persist in order to cause a lifelong problem or at what age mouth breathing
does the most damage. There is, however, relevant research we will look at
later, regarding the rate of crani ofacial development in children  at different
ages. In my case, it could be that I was born with a narrow facial structure
that resulted in my mouth breathing. Or my mouth breathing may have
caused my face to develop poorly. Either way, what I do know is that I was
a mouth-breathe r during childhood, as is evident in many family photos,
and that my dentist could have spotted this early on and advised  my parents
about the importance of nose breathing. The problem of my small jaws
could have been easily addre ssed within months by using functional
appliances to widen my palate. What pediatric health profession als must realize is that dentists are in an
ideal position to help children with these same facial structures and mouth
breathing habits. With this understanding, procedures could be put in place
to gently widen the jaws, to help promote forward development  of the face,
and to shape the airway. I believ e that, if this were done, each child would
be better placed to reach his or her full potential. THE INFLUENCE OF DISORDERED BREA THING ON
LEARNING POTENTIAL
A stuffy nose will adversely affect a child’ s sleep. After a night spent
breathing heavily through the mouth, the child will wake up exhausted. This
manifests as poor concentration and frustration in school. If this inability to
focus continues  for a length of time, a psychological evaluation and
possible diagnosis of attention deficit disorder (ADD) or attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may follow. Notably, scientists have
demonstrated that it is common for children with ADHD to experience
nasal congestion and hay fever.7 Also, 40% of children who experience
sleep disorders, including snoring or sleep apnea, develop ADD, ADHD, or
a learning disability.8 In fact, resear chers have found that, if a child is
snoring by the age of 8 and the problem is left untreated, there is an 80%
chance that the child will consequently develop a permanent 20% reductionin mental capacity.9 A 2012  paper by pediatric sleep expert Karen Bonuck
demonstrated that mouth breathing, snoring, and apnea at 6, 18, and 30
months of age significantly increases the risk of neurobehavioral and
neurocognitive disorders at ages 4 and 7.10
A 2017 study by pediatric behavioral and sleep scientists described the
case of a 5-year -old girl named Carly.11 Carly was brought for an
interdisciplinary evaluation because her behavior at home and school
suggested ADHD. Carly demon strated average verbal, visual- spatial, and
fluid reasoning IQ scores durin g psychological testing, but her processing
speed and working memory were below average. Executive function skills
(processes that monitor behavior) returned mixed results, and her working
memory was borderline. The ratings given by her parents implied worse
symptoms of ADHD and executive function than her test results showed. While factors such as the separation of her parents and inconsistent
disciplinary approaches were noted, the researchers felt that her nightly
mouth breathing and snoring were most significant. Carly displayed
enlar ged tonsils and a high, arched palate. A sleep study indicated that she
also had OSA. Carly underwe nt an adenotonsillectomy, after which her ADHD
symptoms noticeably improved. However, her behavioral problems recurred
one year after surgery.11 The paper does not record whether Carly also
reverted to mouth breathing after the operation, but it could be reasonably
assumed that a failure to restore nasal breathing resulted in the recurrence
of OSA.12
Unfortunately, doctors treating ADD or ADHD rarely consider nasal
obstruction as a possible cause and are unaware that the condition can be
greatly helped without medicati on or psychological therapy.9 When I speak
to any parent who has a child diagnosed with ADD, my first suggestion is
to check the child’s sleep habits. Is your child breathing through the mouth,
twisting and turning during the night and waking up with the bedclothes
tangled in the morning? Do they snore or stop breathing during sleep? Is
their breathing audible during sleep? To experience quality sleep, nasal
breathing is of the utmost importance. Any adult understands the knock-on
effect that a poor night’ s sleep has on mood, so how can a child be expected
to face the day with boundless ener gy if their sleep is inadequate?While no parent wants to see their child feeling constantly tired and
frustrated, more  serious consequences are at issue. Children who breathe
through an open mouth have a strong tendency to experience cognitive
disorders and problems with memory, concentration, attention, and learning
ability.9 Those with sleep problems are much more likely to have special
educational needs (SEN). The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and
Children, also known as Childr en of the 90s, is a detailed and ongoing birth
cohort study of children born in the United Kingdom between  April 1991
and December 1992. The Avon research has shown substantial correlations
between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and cognitive impairment in
children.13 Parents enrolled in the study reported on their children’ s snoring,
witnessed apnea, and mouth breathing at 6, 18, 30, 42, and 57 months. SDB
symptom trajectories, or cluster s, were derived from the resultant data. By
the time the children reached 8 years old, parental reports for 11,049
children with SDB indicated that children with SDB were 40% more likely
to have special educational needs.13 These statistics are echoed by a 2013
study in which 48 children had complete ear, nose, and throat examinations. Results showed that children with enlar ged adenoids experienced greater
learning difficulties than those with normal adenoids.14 Likewise, a 2015
study from the faculties of dentistry at Havana and Aden Universities found
that children with excessive daytime sleepiness were almost 10 times more
likely to have learning dif ficulties.3
Another 2011 paper compared cognitive function in children with
varying severitie s of SDB again st a control group with no history of sleep
problems. In total, 137 children between the ages of 7 and 12 took part. It
was found that there was a lower general intellectual ability in all children
with SDB. This was the case whether or not the problem was severe enough
to manifest as snoring or sleep apnea—children should not be snoring or
even breathing heavily during sleep.15 Childre n with SDB also show ed
higher levels of impairment in both executive and academic functioning. The first important study to look at the potential link between OSA and
its damaging effects on cognitiv e ability was published in 1998. The paper
examined 297 first-grade children whose academic performance was in the
lowest 10th percentile of their class. These children were found to have
significantly higher incidence of OSA than their higher -achieving peers.The academic results of those children who received treatme nt for OSA
improved considerably in the following year, while children who had OSA
but were not treated showed no improvement.16
Another point regarding the cognitive and behavioral effects of OSA is
demonstrated by a 2011 paper that examined the methods used to evaluate
SDB in children.17 The study reported that many children who suffered
OSA at a level that was not picked up by traditional testing were  on various
medications to alleviate symptom s, all of which could be explained by poor
sleep. Some children were prescribed a sedative at night and a stimulant
during the day. Others were on a range of medicines including
antidepressants, antiheadache, antialler gic, antigastroesophageal reflux, and
antihypertensives. After treatment for SDB, 43 out of 99 childr en had their
drugs withdrawn by their physicians. NONSURGICAL INTER VENTIONS
The good news is that sleep specialists are becoming increasingly
concerned abou t the impact of open mouth breathing during sleep,
especially in children. Dr. Christian Guilleminault, who had discovered in
the 1970 s that blood pressure dramatically increased when patients stopped
breathing during sleep18 and made many further discov eries in the field of
sleep medicine, states in one 2015 paper, “The case against mouth breathing
is growi ng, and given its negative consequences, we feel that restoration of
the nasal breathing route as early as possible is critical.” The paper goes on
to expla in that “Restoration of nasal breathing during wake and sleep may
be the only valid ‘complete’ correction of pediatric sleep-disordered
breathing.”12 After his death in 2019, Dr. Guilleminault was recognized for
his pioneering work on sleep apnea and his contributions to the
understanding of the negative impacts of mouth breathing during
childhood.19
As we’v e already seen, the causes of mouth breathing during childhood
can vary and may be related to nasal congestion or enlar ged adenoids. When my daughter Lauren was four, I noticed her having disturbed sleep.

How to Use This Book
My aim in writing this book is to take the mystery out of the chakras and
bring them down to the level of everyday life. By healing your chakras you
can heal your life. This book will help you to identify and heal chakra
imbalance. It can also be used as a useful reference book. However, please
note that none of the guidance given in this book is intended to replace
medical advice. If you think you are ill see your doctor. Each of the seven chapters on the seven chakras has the same layout. LOCA TION: This tells you whereabouts in the physical body the chakra is
located. SANSKRIT : This is the traditional name for the chakra. Sanskrit is an
ancient Indian language. ALSO KNOWN AS: These days the chakras are referred to by dif ferent
names. I use first/second/third and so on in this book but I have listed other
commonly used names here. COLOUR: Each chakra responds to a particular colour. By choosing to use
that colour in your everyday life through the use of clothes, curtains, paint,
food, cars and so on in the relevant colour, you can help to balance the
chakra in question. NUMBER OF LOTUS PET ALS: Each chakra has a certain number of
petals. MANTRA: A mantra is a sound that stimulates the chakra. Chanting the
relevant mantra for each chakra helps to balance that particular chakra. YANTRA: Each chakra has a ‘yantra’  which is a diagram that corresponds
to the chakra. It shows in pictorial form the dif ferent number of petals in achakra. Meditating on the yantras can help to balance the chakras. (See
book cover.) GLAND: Each chakra corresponds loosely to one of the endocrine glands
as listed under this heading. ELEMENT : The first five chakras each belong to one of the five elements. The sixth and seventh chakras are not assigned an element. BODY : You have seven bodies. (See Chapter 9). Each one is linked to a
particular chakra. NOTE: The musical note associated with the chakra. By humming or
listening to this note (or music written in that particular key) you will help
the chakra to get into balance. SOLFEGGIO: This is the exact frequency for each chakra. These
frequencies are extremely powerful in balancing chakras. The solfeggio
tones can be downloaded from the Internet or you can listen to them on
YouTube. SENSE: The lower five chakras each connect to one of our five senses. Concentrating on the sense in question will help to balance the chakra. YOGA  POSTURE: I give an example of a yoga posture that works strongly
on each chakra. Practising the pose will help to balance the chakra. I would
advise you to learn yoga postures from a qualified yoga teacher rather than
through books or DVDs. ESSENTIAL  OILS: The oils listed under this heading are particularly
beneficial in harmonising that particular chakra. You can mix a few drops of
the relevant essential oil with a little carrier oil and rub it on your wrists. You could incorporate several of the oils into carrier oil and use it for body
massage. You could also put a few drops in your bath or put some on a
tissue and carry it with you. CRYSTALS: I have listed which crystals and gemstones are particularly
beneficial in harmonising each chakra. Either wear or carry one of thesuggested crystals. You can also lie down and place the crystal directly on
to the chakra. RULES: These are the parts of the physical body that are af fected by each
chakra. PHYSICAL  PROBLEMS: Although not exhaustive, I have listed the types
of ailments that indicate an imbalance in a particular chakra. KEY  WORDS: A quick summary of the chakra. WHA T ARE ITS FUNCTIONS? A description of how the chakra will be
operating in your life if it is in perfect balance. AN IMBALANCED CHAKRA: Here I give indications of how an
imbalance in each chakra might show itself. MAJOR IMBALANCE: Under this heading I list more serious imbalances
which normally require professional help. If you have a serious imbalance
in any chakra do not do any of the exercises in this book without clearing it
with your doctor first. PERSONAL  STORIES: I hope that these case histories will help you to
understand exactly how the state of your chakras can directly af fect your
everyday life. IS MY  CHAKRA  OUT  OF BALANCE? This is an easy checklist to help
you to identify your own imbalances. It is meant solely as a guide and by no
means is it a fail-safe method of diagnosis. Use the list in combination with
your intuition. Although I have quoted numbers to give you an idea of how
imbalanced each chakra is, the simple rule is that the higher your score, the
more imbalanced the chakra. HOW  CAN I BALANCE THIS CHAKRA? I have listed very practical and
simple ways of rebalancing each chakra. Again this list is not exhaustive but
is intended to guide you towards your own healing. Healing comes from
leaving behind your harmful habits as much as incorporating the positive
and helpful activ- ities that are listed here.AFFIRMA TIONS: The af firmations can be spoken out loud as often as you
like. You can also write them down on a piece of paper and stick them on
your bathroom mirror, your kitchen cupboard or your computer screen to
remind you to repeat the af firmations. HEALING GUIDED MEDIT ATION: These meditations are very helpful
for healing yourself at a deeper level. I suggest you record them on to a CD,
phone or iPod, and play them back to yourself when you need them. OceanofPDF.comChapter 1
The Chakras – An Overview
A few decades ago very few people had even heard about chakras. Now
‘chakra’  is quite a commonly understood word. But how many people really
understand what chakras are and what they do? In this book I will explain
the chakras in a down to earth and easy to follow way. Using that
knowledge you will be able to work on healing and balancing your chakras
to improve your health and well-being. My awareness of chakras began over thirty years ago when I was studying


Goddess within you, and take responsibility for your own state of
mind. Women can be masters at negative programming. We constantly
tell ourselves what is not right: our gure, our hair, our relationship,
our job, the weather, someone else’s behavior. Sometimes, we do
this because we have legitimate complaints; at other times, we
criticize simply because it is the turn of our minds to do so. Every
time we do, regardless of why, we attack ourselves. We are
programming our subconscious—the part of the mind that hears
what we tell it and then creates more of the same—to manufacture
the life we’re describing. And then—magicians that we are—lo and
behold, we have a new, even more negative life the following day. Someone once gave me a coee mug on which is printed  ENTERTAIN
NO NEGATIVITY. If only I could be so strong. As 1992 was drawing to a
close and I gathered with friends at the approach of midnight, I
scribbled on a piece of paper, “In 1993, I will repeat no negative
stories. ” We are not a little powerful; we are enormously  powerful. Every time we say a negati ve word, we lay the menta l plans for
negative thing s. There is no escaping this law of the mind. As we
think, so shall it be. Here’s another  helpful hint. Choose an armation that ts you,
your hopes and your desires. Try to stay away from specics, and
concentrate instead on the woman you want to be. You could say, “I
am a glorious  child of God. I am joyful, serene, positive, and
loving. ” Write it on several pieces of paper. Pin them up in your
house or tape them to the dashboard of your car. The mind is more
powerful than are any external conditions. If you repeat your
armation ten times a day, particularly in combination with
meditation, your life will change. Spiritual techn iques cannot not work. The question is not whether
they work but whether or not we actually do them. If we remind
ourselves often of the woman we want to be, then the woman who
has been masquerading as us all these years will breathe her last
breath and give us back our life. On the days when I do these things—and having turned forty
myself, I have nally learned  how important it is to do them all—I
feel good. On the days when I don’t do them, I don’t feel as well. And I must admit that there are often days during the month when
nothing makes me happy, and that’s it. PMS is PMS. Chemical
depression is an even harder nut to crack. There are times and
conditions when despite our exercises, we continue to cry and we
continue to feel pain. I’m talking here about the broad strokes, the
vast majority of our days. Try those things—meditation, prayer,
yoga, armations—and the fabric of your life will become more
beautiful and peaceful. At times, we can nd sustenance in a spiritual retreat, a woman’s
retreat, a vacation, a time o. It’s important to have the chance to
get away from it all. But we must remember that the serenity and
peace a retreat provides should not be limited to our time away
from home; we must commit ourselves to incorporating the
conditions that foster peace and serenity into our daily lives. So
much inside us can ourish when we turn o the worldly  noise. The
search for inner peace is a life-style decision. Even when we have
children, they can learn that at certain hours Mommy needs quiet
time. As much as we crave the rest a vacation oers, we often resist it. Many of us have set up our lives so that we are consta ntly busy,
living on a kind of adrenaline that poses as energy. This is an
insidious trick of the negative mind: building a wall of frantic
activity that mitigates the experience of a meaningful inner life. We
lose a tremend ous amount of personal power and healthy energy by
allowing ourselves to be lured away from daily spiritual practice. The spiritual life is our inner life, and a woman is lost without her
connection to the God and Goddess within her. As for physical appearance—as we age, gorgeous young hunks
may or may not be interested in us anymore. For that matter, men
our own age and older might not be interested anymore. My
response to that is “So what. ” We could have met up with these
same guys when we were young, and they would still have been
turned o to us anyway once we got older. Have faith in men. There’s a new breed forming, just as we’re a
new breed of women. They are quite young, some of them, and they
are older also. They are learning, they are growing, and they are
everywhere. Hold on. Just take care of yourself. Strive to live a
more loving, more beautifu l life. They won’t not nd you. Your
appeal is huge and invisible and real. What now. Agreements. Agreements that we will not hurt one
another, that we will support one another. We will protect the
children and heal the earth. We will make love an art, and we will
love like artists. A woman is meant to hold the heart of the world within her
hands. She must cater to it and minister to it and kiss it when it
cries. We are meant to keep the home res burning, the res in our
hearts. We are meant to prepare the food, the spiritual food of love
and compassion. We are meant to care for the children, not just our
own, but every child. When we do not recognize our cosmic
function, our own hearts break, and so does the heart of the world. Just as children grow by playing games in which they imagine
themselves to be grown-ups, so are we meant to grow by imagining
ourselves to be bigger than we are right now. You need not
apologize for being brilliant, talented, gorgeous, rich, or smart. Your
success doesn’ t take away from anyone else’s. It actually increases
the possibility  that others can have it too. Your money  increases
your capacity to give mone y to others, your joy increases your
capacity to give joy to others, and your love increases your capacity
to give love to others. Your playing small serves no one. It is a sick
game. It is old thinking, and it is dire for the planet. Stop it
immediately. Come home to the castle. OceanofPDF. comFOUR
Embracing the Goddess
A true conception of the relation between the sexes
will not admit of conqueror and conquered; it knows
but of one great thing; to give of one’s self
boundlessly, in order to nd one’s self richer, deeper,
better. —Emma Goldman
The story of many modern relationships is a variation
on a common theme: the conspiracy between men and women to
murder the Queen. Wheneve r a woman sells herself cheap or a man
is unkind to a woman or a woman gives her body where she is not
adored or a man rejects his true love—we are trying to murder the
Queen. But the Queen is eternal; she cannot die. She can be
tortured, but she cannot die. A friend  recent ly spoke to me of a very powerful man on the East
Coast who has gained a reputation for toying cruelly with the hearts
of so-called powerful women. The question, of course, is how does a
powerful woman allow herself to be toyed with. What place of
wounded self-esteem makes her vulnerable to his emotionally
sadistic machinations. Perhaps, suggested my friend, I would
address this question in my book. “My book will not be about that,” I told her. “That man is a
dinosaur. His breed will die out. ” Thousands of us have been intherapy, taken seminars, read extensively, and explored all other
means to personal growth in the last several years in order to learn
how to avoid those guys. We’ve prayed. We’ve been on our knees. Where were those women. Go into therapy. Go to a good bookstore. The buzz words now are recovery, wellness, hinging back joy. There’s a great story about recovering from attraction to
dangerous men. It goes like this: When you’re really ill, you don’t
even know a snake when you see one. Once recovery begins, you
see a snake and you know it’s a snake, but you still play with it. Once you’ve landed in true recovery zone, you see a snake, you
know it’s a snake, and you cross to the other side of the road. Until then, everyone you know can tell you the game is toxic with
that person, but you won’t listen because you think you’re dierent
or that he’ll be dierent with you, or that maybe you’re the rst one
to have really seen his sensit ive side. There’s no forcing the process
by which we simply stop being attracted to pain. It’s a long road for
some of us. It’s work. It takes deeper thinking and more courage
than many of us


 we were directing it, when in point of fact we actually are
playing the part best suited for us in that moving stream. The sixth sense
brings to us impressions and convictions that are impossible to attribute to
memory or experience. W e are moved to conviction from out of the
inexhaustible resource of universal mind, and we eventually become as
positive in the reception of this feeling as we do to our senses of sight or
touch or hearing. The Irish poet Geor ge Russell reports:

Once in an idle interval in my work I sat with my face pressed in my hands,
and in that dimness pictures began flickering in my brain. I saw a little dark
shop, the counter before me, and behind it an old man fumbling with some
papers, a man so old that his motions had lost swiftness and precision. Deeper in the store was a girl, red-haired, with gray watchful eyes fixed on
the old man. I saw that to enter the shop one must take two steps downward
from the cobbled pavement without. I questioned a young man, my of fice
companion, who was then writing a letter, and I found that what I had seenwas his father ’s shop. All my imaginations were not imaginations of mine
in any true sense, for while I was in a vacant mood my companion had been
thinking of his home, and his brain was populous with quickened memories,
and they invaded my own mind, and when I made question I found their
origin. But how many thousand times are we invaded by such images and
there is no speculation over them. The frontiers of mind and thought have barely been penetrated. A waiting
the human search for knowledge lies the most exciting, unexplored area of
all — human consciousness, mind, being, mentality. Our lives grow into
images of those things which our minds are preoccupied with, and if we are
concerned with bolts and nuts, we achieve a bolts-and-nuts mentality, and
our very absorption by this infinitesimal slice of existence bars us from
perception of the tremendous possibilities in other spiritual and mental
realms. If we instead take up our tasks as we might approach an altar, we
transform our work, no matter how menial, into a sacrament. When we put
intuition to work for us and closet ourselves with our consciousness in a
searching ef fort to develop our sixth sense, we are bound not only to grow
in effectiveness and power but also as questing human souls in search of the
uttermost. Nothing in life is resolved simply by facts. Facts shriek at us because they
appeal to our conscious minds, but facts that human knowledge has
uncovered up to now are but the tiniest representation of the total sum of
knowledge in universal mind. Rational, logical people who pride
themselves upon acting only on known facts are not nearly so rational as
they would have themselves believe. In point of actual fact they are more
often led to erroneous conclusions than true ones, not because they do not
apply their reason and their logic and their knowledge, but because those
are insuf ficient and deal only with a portion of existence, not its entirety. You Shall Know the Hidden Purpose
Each of us has a job, each has a “row to hoe,” and within our circumscribed
tasks problems constantly arise which we are called upon to solve, upon the
solution of which our lives often depend. T o apply the use of the sixth sense
to the solution of these problems is possible for all of us, regardless of how
obsessed we are with the material world. Even if we will not strive for
spiritual enlightenment, will not turn over our life to the Divine for
guidance, will not subordinate the ego by sacrifice, will not find within
ourselves a longing for unity with the Secret Self, we still are not beyond
the salvation of fered by intuition. When our time of conscious striving with
a problem is over, when we have considered all elements, pitted them
against each other, weighed them, counted them, tabulated them, we then
may visualize within our own mind a secret computing machine into which
we can feed all elements of the problem and which will deliver us a true and
accurate answer. Each of us, no matter how spiritually enlightened, can
profit by this visualization. When your problem is upon you and you know
as much about it as you ever possibly can, for get it completely. Envisage
your secret computing machine, feed all elements of the problem into it. See them go in one by one until finally the whole problem is out of your
hands. Know in your own heart that the problem will be solved, that you
need do no more about it than act upon the solution when it is presented. Have no fear; the solution will come. It may be the following morning,
perhaps the next afternoon, it may be a whole week, but it will illuminate
your consciousness and you will know with the utmost certainty that the
true answer has arrived. Once this highly significant experience has come to
you, reason and logic and knowledge will have been dethroned as the
principal activators of thought and action in your life, and enshrined in their
stead will be that faculty of intuition that transcends and transfigures all
situations and circumstances because it is infinite and eternal and speaks to
us from out of our sixth sense. OceanofPDF. com

The Mental Attitude That Never Fails

Over most people hangs the sword of Damocles. They have fallen into
the psychological trap of cr eating their pr oblems by trying to solve
them, worrying because they worry, being afraid of fear. Ther e is a
capricious quality in our psyche that denies us each object we try to
grasp. Our wr ong thinking, wr ong acting, egoistic natur e leads us to
pursue things thr ough vain desir e. Acting and thinking in the small
part of our natur e, it is inevitable that we be frustrated in our
purposes. Ensuring Success

The mental attitude that ensures success is one in which we turn our work
and the results of our work over to the Divine without attachment or desire. This psychological absolution from the aims of partial seeing allows us to
follow the behest of a master will with perfect equanimity. We will not be
dismayed by circuitous routes, we will not be bitter about apparent defeats,
we will not rail against obstacles, because we know that the ends of our
actions are in the hands of an omnipotent being which ensures our absolute
development and complete success eventually. An enlightened person sees
that the purposes of the Secret Self are the only true purposes. They adopt
these as their own, don the mantle of the Divine as their true, inmost being. All their actions take on long-range significance. They understand that thereis a secret purpose in the smallest task and that the eventual result of this
purpose lies beyond the perception of the conscious mind. W ithin them
develops a towering trust, a positive certainty as to eventual victory that
makes them irresistible and impregnable in the midst of all action. They
cannot be defeated, for defeat is possible only to a being bounded by space
and time, and they have taken up residence in a self that is eternal and
infinite. They see that all things are brought to them for their own inner
perfection, that victory and defeat are merely opposite ends of a scale of
sensitivity by which their aspiring soul gradually is able to abdicate from
masquerading as a separate, isolated ego and to recognize its absolute unity
with the Divine. To be undiscouraged and undismayed by whatever turn of fortune is
encountered is always a mark of maturity and enlightenment. Such fortitude
is possible only to someone who has forsworn desires to be better, to get
more, to have power, or any other of the egoistic shortcomings that mark
the individual at war with their fellows. The vital and animalistic nature
hungers always for the fruits of its labor, and when these are denied, it
becomes disconsolate, loses faith, may even give up altogether. Whoever is
bound to their animalistic nature is bound also to constant hungering for the
fruits of their labor, and in consequence take up their tasks under a delusion
that blinds them to the possibilities for success. Selfish striving for gain
defeats enterprise at the outset because it is based upon the false belief that
one manifestation of the Divine is innately better than another and therefore
more deserving of reward. Such psychological misapprehension is based on
partiality and sees a world of multitudinous and separate things to be
conquered and achieved dominion over. The separate surface self never
achieves dominion over anything, even over its own nature. It did not
spring itself into being, it cannot stay itself from eventual oblivion, its
growth and development are entirely reactionary, and all things lie outside
the scope of its ef fectuality. Effective Guide to Living
 In almost everyone, however, the surface self achieves the illusion that it is
able ef fectively to influence life. In consequence, through the years that
their physical body flourishes, people are mentally and spiritually bound to
a delusion about who they are and where they came from and what their
relationship to the world is. Their lack of ef fectiveness in life, their failure
to grow mentally and spiritually, their gradual dissolution into cynicism,
into disenchantment with the material world, they seldom attribute to a
psychologically wrong viewpoint but generally feel they haven


 didn’ t need their business, as people lined up to get
in his restaurant. He was comp letely interested in training people to know
what was excellent and what was not. His purpose and his joy were to share
the expe rience of that excellence with everyone. Otherwise, there would
have been no purpose in his having his restaurant.Crazy Charlie was not worried or anxious about anything. He could make
a success of it anywhere, and he knew it. The honesty of his commitment,
purpose, and means of achieving his goal meant that he was highly
respected. We honor that whic h is genuine. We give lip service, but we
don’t really respect that which is fake. Fame follows excellence
automatically. Among Chinese-food lovers and aficionados, Crazy Charlie
was a celebrity. His fame spread of its own accord. I was in a little one-horse town in southern Arizona. By one-horse, I
mean it had two restaurants, one motel, two gas stations, and not much else. The population was 600, and no one had ever heard of it. In wandering
through the little shops, I found  an interesting-looking one that dealt with
saddlery, belts, and buckles. I just got the feeling that some kind of a master
craftsman was there even though the place was messy. Sure enough, it
turned out that he was the one who made silver belt buckles for John Wayne
at $6,000 apiece. He had orders from all the famous people in the world. A
nowhere person  in a nowhere town, and his fame spread so that he had a
long waiting list. I knew a barbers hop in New York where one had to be recomme nded and
introduced by a friend to get an appointment. Everythin g was by
appointment only. The barber ’s whole business was closed but to the elite—
he had a waiting list like an exclusive club. People practically had to wait
for one of his customers to die before they could start getting their hair cut
there. He charged plenty, and at four customers an hour he was making
more money than most professionals. For one thing, he cared about people’ s time. Successful businessmen
loved him. If someone had a 3:00 haircut appointment, he sat in the chair at
exactly 3:00. At exactly 3:15 he was finished. It was a guaranteed 15-
minute haircut, and there was never a wait. This barber treated every
customer as though they were very important. If someone even mentioned,
“Where’ s the last issue of Esquir e magazine?” the next time that person
went there they would find Esquir e magazin es. He was instantly responsive. He remembered names and everything about his customers. He was
solicitous and non-imposing, but obviously coming from having made it. He was not arrogant about it as some successful people were. He did not
have the artificiality of prideful ness. No, it was rock-solid self-esteem that
came from knowing he was good at what he did.When someone is good at what they do, they become the true people
pleaser. We are all extremely  pleased with excellence, with a great
performance. What pleases us about a great performer is the heart involved. It is the heart of the champion. We applaud their creativity. We congratulate
their enterprise. We praise their commitment to excellence. We commend
the way they hold themselves in front of us, as well as the way they hold
themselves to themselves. What makes Pavarotti great is not just his voice,
as there are a lot of magnificent Italian tenors in the world. He has the true
humility of the great. Genuine people pleasing is not catering; it’s
manifesting excellence. The whole world applauds excellence. It doesn’ t matter whether someone
is a waiter, a movie star, a mother, the best cook in the neighborhood, or the
fastest gun in the West. Their fame will spread. They won’ t have to do
anything about it. They won’ t have to seek interviews, or pay publicity
experts, or fawn over gossip columnists. They won’ t have to sell out
anything to anyone because they’re not buyable. Integrity and the power
that comes out of it means they can’t be bought. It means they’ re not going
to veer from the principles involved for the sake of expediency. Selling out to expediency makes  people weak. In doing it, they lose their
power. We see the careers that have gone down the tubes because people
did just that. They had real success in their hands; however, they made the
mistake of selling it out for expediency and became some of the “has-
beens” of history. OceanofPDF.comBLOWING IT
Like any enterprise, success comes from not only knowing what to do,
but knowing what not to do. Understanding what not to do comes out of
understanding the principles of what to do. Really blowing it is one
example of an opportunity out of which we can make lemonade out of
lemons. The purpose is to analyze a mistake in such a way that it serves us,
so we can come out the better for it. It is also important that we resolve all
regret and bitterness and find a silver lining in the cloud. Let’s again return
to the restaurant business for an example. One of the most easily observable instances of blowing it is when a
successful restau rant decides it’s going to expand. To tell the truth, I know
very few restaurants that remain successful once they make this decision. The same thing happens with many businesses because they’re not
conscious of what the quality is that’ s bringing about success. Luigi’ s Spaghetti Station is jammed. There are oilcloth tablecloths. It’s in
a lousy part of town, yet it’s going great guns. So Luigi decides that what he
needs to do is expand. When the lease on the store next door comes up, he
takes it. He sits down with pencil and paper, and figures that if he’s got
twice as many tables, he’ll have twice as many customers, and he’ll make
twice the profit. So he starts changing everything. The partition between his
restaurant and the space next door has to be removed. The oilcloth
tablecloths are no longer accept able. If he wants to quicken the disaster he
puts up a sign: CLOSED FOR REMODELING. If he really wants to collapse his
business, that’s the way to accelerate it. See to it that all the habits of his
customers who come there on certain nights of the week are disrupted, andthey’re forced to find another Italian restaurant where they can eat on
Monday nights. I can assure you they will. Luigi has forced them out, and
they will be resentful. They’ll come back once he’s reopened, just out of curiosity. But
strangely, it’s not the same anymore. Why? Because it was that very
ambience of crowdedness, the family informality, the unpretentiousness, a
place where people could roll up their sleeves and just be themselves, where
they didn’ t have to dress up or need a reservation. That was what drew them
there. The food at Luigi’ s Spaghetti Station was good, fast, and cheap. To pay for this expansion, prices  had to be raised. Luigi borrowed a lot of
money. The interest payments alone would choke a horse. In fact, he’s
facing Chapter 11. So what happened to his old crowd? Well, they went
elsewhere, because the very thing that attracted them in the first place was
now gone. There was just such a place in the town where I lived. All the townies
hung out at this wonderful Western restaurant for years. They had red
checkered tablecloths; it was super informal. Suddenly, it was closed for
remodeling. When it reopened, the red tablecloths were gone. Instead of a
friendly, relaxed  atmosphere, there was now the efficient briskne ss of a fast-
food restaurant chain. True, it was cleaned up a bit. True, from an objective,
aesthetic viewpoint, it had been improved. But the old crowd went
elsewhere, feeling that their value as customers had been decreased. We see the same thing happen to that terrific little place the minute some
newspaper or magazine writes about it as a perfect travel hideaway. The
area’ s whole energy changes. The town where I lived went through such a
change. Years ago it was easygoing and casual. People could wear blue
jeans anywhere. Prices were low. Everyone trusted everyone. We cashed
checks without asking for a driver ’s license. When I first moved there, a lady had advertised a Volkswagen in the
paper for $5,000. So I went over and asked her, “How’ s it run?” She said,
“Fine.” I asked, “Do you have any problems with it?” She said, “No.” I
took it for a test drive and said, “Okay, I’ll take it.”
She agreed to accept a personal, out-of-state check from a person she
didn’ t even know. Then she told me that she didn’ t have the certificate of
title because she was making payments on the car. The bank had the
certificate of title, which could be mailed to me. So she accepted an out-of-
state check from an unknown person for $5,000 and gave away herproperty. I accepted it without certificate of


who	get	it	after	vaccination. It	does	introduce	into	the	system,	and	therefore

contributes	to	the	spread	of,	tuberculosis,	cancer	and	even	leprosy. It	tends	to

make	more	virulent	epidemics	of	smallpox	and	to	make	them	more	extensive. It

does	just	what	inoculation	did:	cause	the	spread	of	disease." Dr.	Kalb,	Royal	Examiner	of	Statistics	for	Bavaria,	states:

"Examination	shows	vaccination	a	complete	failure. In	this	single	year,	3,994

vaccinated	people	died	of	smallpox;	the	total	number	attacked	exceeded	29,000." (All	were	vaccinated.) Dr.	L.	Hall	Bakewell,	Vaccinator	General	of	Trinidad	said:

"I	have	very	little	faith	in	Vaccination	even	as	modifying	the	disease,	and	none	at

all	as	a	protective	in	virulent	epidemics. Personally,	I	contracted	smallpox	less

than	six	months	after	a	most	severe	revaccination." This	doctor	was	in	the	vaccination	business;	his	livelihood	depended	on	it	and	he

wanted	to	believe	in	it. In	Trinidad	where	vaccination	was	compulsory	he	had

ample	opportunity	to	observe	the	full	effects	of	it	on	a	large	scale,	yet	he

voluntarily	denounced	the	practice	as	a	failure. Dr.	L.	C.	Carter	of	London	reports:

"In	looking	over	the	history	of	vaccination	for	smallpox,	I	am	amazed	to	learn	of

the	terrible	deaths	from	vaccination,	amputations	of	arms	and	leg.,	foot	and

mouth	disease,	tetanus	(1ockjaw),	septicemia	(blood	poisoning),	cerebral-spinal

meningitis." Dr.	J.	C.	Ward	M.R.C.S. at	Harrogate,	(England)	among	many	others	confesses

to	a	change	of	heart	on	the	vaccination	question	in	this	statement:

"I	believed	that	vaccination	prevented	smallpox. I	believed	that	if	it	did	not

absolutely	prevent	it	in	every	case,	it	modified	the	disease	in	some	cases,	and	I

believed	that	revaccination,	if	only	frequent	enough,	gave	absolute	immunity. Experience	has	driven	all	that	out	of	my	head;	I	have	seen	vaccinated	persons	get

smallpox,	and	persons	who	had	been	vaccinated	get	smallpox,	and	I	have	seen

those	who	had	had	smallpox	get	it	a	second	time	and	die	of	it." Professor	Adolf	Vogt,	who	held	the	chair	of	vital	Statistics	and	Hygiene	in	Berne

University	for	17	years	said:

"After	collecting	the	particulars	of	400,000	cases	of	smallpox	I	am	compelled	to

admit	that	my	belief	in	vaccination	is	absolutely	destroyed." Dr.	Charles	E.	Page	of	Boston	said:

"I	have	been	a	regular	practitioner	of	medicine	in	Boston	for	33	years. I	have

studied	the	question	of	vaccination	conscientiously	for	45	years. As	for
	vaccination	as	a	preventative	of	disease,	there	is	not	a	scrap	of	evidence	in	its

favor. Injection	of	virus	into	the	pure	bloodstream	of	the	people	does	not	prevent

Smallpox. Rather,	it	tends	to	increase	its	epidemics	and	makes	the	disease	more

deadly. Of	this	we	have	indisputable	proof. In	our	country	(U.S.)	cancer

mortality	has	increased	from	9	per	100,000	to	80	per	100,000	or	fully	900%

increase,	within	the	past	50	years,	and	no	conceivable	thing	could	have	caused

this	but	the	universal	blood	poisoning	now	existing." Dr.	Forbes	Laurie	says:

"I	can	add	my	testimony	to	the	others...that	vaccination	contributes	to	the	great

increase	in	cancer.”
GOVERNOR	HAS	SUSPICIONS
Hon. Percival	P.	Baxter,	Governor	of	Maine	(1924)	stated:

"Personally	I	have	grave	doubts	as	to	the	efficacy	of	modern	serums	and

vaccines	and	am	convinced	that	commercialism	has	exercised	a	considerable

influence	upon	some	phases	of	modem	medicine." Dr.	William	Howard	Hay	of	Buffalo,	New	York	said:

"We	have	no	proof	of	the	boasted	effectiveness	of	any	form	of	antitoxin,	vaccine

or	serum. The	true	figures	on	vaccination	for	smallpox	have	never	gotten	before

the	public,	though	they	can	be	seen	in	the	files	of	the	various	departments	of	the

Army	as	well	as	the	government,	if	one	cares	to	look	for	them. If	the	record	of

vaccination	in	the	Philippines	alone	were	ever	to	become	a	matter	of	general

knowledge	it	would	finish	vaccination	in	the	whole	country,	at	least	among	those

who	are	able	to	read	and	think	for	themselves. After	three	years	of	the	most	rigid

vaccination,	when	every	Filipino	had	been	vaccinated	from	one	to	six	times,

there	occurred	the	severest	epidemic	of	smallpox	that	the	Islands	had	ever	seen,

with	a	death	rate	running	in	places	to	over	70%,	and	in	all,	well	over	60,000

deaths. Is	it	any	wonder	the	public	is	getting	a	little	suspicious	of	us	and	our

vaunted	'medical	discoveries?' The	wonder	to	me	is	that	there	are	still	millions	of

them	willing	to	submit	to	vaccination	and	serum	treatment." Alfred	Russell	Wallace	D.D. who	spent	many	years	doing	research	all	over	the

world,	collecting	data	on	both	sides	of	the	vaccination	question	had	this	to	say:
"While	utterly	powerless	for	good,	vaccination	is	a	certain	cause	of	disease	and

death	in	many	cases	and	is	the	probable	cause	of	about	10,000	deaths	annually	in

England,	by	five	diseases	of	the	most	terrible	and	disgusting	character." L	F.	Cornell,	M.D.,	President	of	the	Homeopathic	Medical	Society	of	New	York

said:	(1868)

“It	is	my	firm	conviction	that	vaccination	has	been	a	curse	instead	of	a	blessing

to	the	race. Every	physician	knows	that	cutaneous	(pertaining	to	the	skin)

diseases	have	increased	in	frequency,	severity,	and	variety	to	an	alarming	extent. To	what	is	this	increase	owing? Contagion	may	account	for	some	of	the

varieties;	in	a	large	majority,	however,	to	no	medium	of	transmission	is	the	wide

spread	dissemination	of	this	class	of	diseases	so	largely	indebted	as	to

vaccination." Dr.	E.	M.	Ripley,	of	Unionville,	Connecticut,	stated	in	a	public	address	delivered

in	New	Britain,	Connecticut:

"Never	in	the	history	of	medicine	has	there	been	produced	so	false	a	theory,	such

fraudulent	assumptions,	such	disastrous	and	damning	results	as	have	followed

the	practice	of	vaccination;	it	is	the	ultima	thule	(extremity)	of	learned	quackery,

and	lacks,	and	has	ever	lacked,	the	faintest	shadow	of	a	scientific	basis. The

fears	of	the	people	have	been	played	upon	as	to	the	dangers	of	smallpox	and	the

sure	prevention	by	vaccination,	until	nearly	the	whole	civilized	world	has

become	physically	corrupted	by	its	practice. "The	lifeblood	of	nations	has	become	the	cesspool	of	vaccinators	wherein	they

	out	by	the	US	Public	Health	Service	and	reprinted	widely	by	the	medical	and

general	press. To	dispose	of	it,	they	are	now	resorting	to	circus	methods. They	prevailed	on	a

church	in	Cleveland	to	help	them	interfere	with	God’s	work	by	advertising

"coffee,	cookies	and	Salk	shots." In	Michigan	their	lobbyists	had	a	bill

introduced	in	the	legislature	to	force	the	inoculation	of	all	school	children. They

told	the	legislature	"$2,000,000	worth	of	Salk	shots"	is	spoiling. In	New	Jersey

they	have	a	similar	bill. They	even	prevailed	on	Mr.	Eisenhower	to	use	the	high	office	of	the	Presidency

as	a	huckster	stand. By	words	put	in	his	mouth	by	serum	trust	press	agents,	Ike

urged	everybody—adults	and	children—to	have	three	polio	shots	"while

supplies	are	now	plentiful." The	royal	medics	in	London	hooked	Good	Queen

Bess	into	having	her	two	children’s	health	interfered	with	by	polio	shots—amid

a	fanfare	of	press	and	radio	hokum. While	they	were	selling	these	deadly	shots	like	hotcakes,	the	serum	trust	was
announcing	(thru	their	stooges	in	the	USPHS)	that	Salk	vaccine	"has	polio	under

control." They	now	say	"polio	is	far	from	conquered." They	have	25,000,000

shots	for	sale,	with	a	profit	of	more	than	$5	a	"shot"	involved. ___________

KNIGHT	SIGNS	BILL	FOR	POLIO	VACCINE. Sacramento,	Feb.	6	(AP). Gov. Knight,	saying	he	hopes	to	end	for	always	the	threat	of	a	major	polio	outbreak	in

California,	has	signed	a	bill	for	vaccinating	everyone	under	40. The	money	will	go	for	the	purchases	of	vaccine	and	the	administration	of	mass

inoculations	for	about	2	million	persons. "For	the	first	time,"	the	governor	said	yesterday	as	he	signed	the	bill,	"the

opportunity	is	at	hand	to	conquer	a	major	disease	in	the	State	of	California—
crippling	polio." He	noted	there	are	4	million	other	Californians	under	40	and	said:

"It	is	hoped	the	vaccination	campaign	which	soon	will	get	under	way	will	serve

as	an	incentive	to	the	citizens	of	California	to	seek	vaccinations	against	crippling

polio	through	their	private	physicians." AMERICAN	CAPSULE	NEWS

January	25,	1958

VACCINE	ECONOMICS—A	2-year	prediction	in	CAPSULE	NEWS	came	true

last	week	when	a	verdict	for	$147,000	was	rendered	against	the	Cutter

Laboratories	of	California	for	the	crippling	of	two	children	with	Salk	vaccine. At	the	time	(in	1956)	the	US	Public	Health	Service	and	the	National	Foundation

for	Infantile	Paralysis	put	on	their	drive	to	sell	Salk	vaccine,	to	the	glory	and

profit	of	the	Drug	Trust,	CN	said	the	Cutter	Laboratory	had	been	taken	into	the

fold	of	the	six	licenses	to	be	the	goat	"in	case	something	happened." All	of	the	other	five	licensees	were	members	of	what	is	known	as	the

Rockefeller	Drug	Trust,	because	the	House	of	Rockefeller	is	heavily	interested

financially. The	jury	said	the	Cutter	people	were	not	negligent	"either	directly	or

by	inference." This	was	correct	but	the	jury	should	have	bawled	out	the	real	culprits. Since	they	hadn’t	been	indicted	they	couldn’t	have	found	them	guilty,	but	the

jury	could	have	placed	the	blame	where	it	belonged. Officials	of	the	USPHS	and	NFIP	are	the	guilty	ones. They	had	guilty

knowledge	that	this	Salk	concoction	was	worthless	and	was	a	killer. "Tests"	of	it

were	made	at	the	Universities	of	Michigan	and	Pittsburgh	and	the	only	thing

they	showed	was	that	the	testers	were	either	confused	or	covering	up	something. There	was	no	confusion	at	the	National	Institute	of	Health. One	of	their

scientists,	who	couldn’t	stomach	the	crippling	and	killing	of	innocent	children

for	profit,	told	CN	at	the	time—the	same	thing	he	and	his	associates	told	their

superiors	that	Salk	vaccine	was	a	crippler	and	a	killer,	and	of	no	value	as	a

preventive	of	polio. Walter	Winchell	went	on	the	air	a	few	days	later	and	said	Salk	vaccine	would

prove	to	be	"a	killer." Officials	of	the	NIH	refused	to	let	their	children	be

vaccinated	with	it. CN	also	exposed	the	fact	that	the	idea	of	Salk	vaccine	was

dreamed	up	by	the	NFIP	to	bolster	the	sagging	receipts	of	its	annual	March-of-
Dimes	racket. Just	as	CN	predicted,	the	Cutter	Laboratories	were	selected	to	be	the	goat. A

significant	feature	is	that	nearly	all	of	the	business	was	directed	to	the	five

Rockefeller	companies—just	enough	to	Cutter	to	enable	Drug	Trust	press	agents

to	divert	attention	from	the	other	five	killers. Salk	vaccine	made	a	barrel	of	money	in	1956	for	the	killers. Pitman-Moore	is	one	of	three	subsidiaries	of	Allied	Laboratories. So	great	was

the	profit	from	Salk	vaccine	that	Allied’s	1955	profit	($1,292,136)	was	upped	to

$2,598,060	in	1956. An	increase	of	profit	(not	just	sales)	of	around	100%	for	the

parent	company. Eli	Lilly	made	a	profit	after	taxes	of	$16,328,081	in	1955. With	the	Salk	vaccine

sales	in	1956	this	profit	was	upped	to	$30,052,815;	an	increase	of	90%. Sharp	&	Dohme	is	one	of	25	subsidiaries	of	Merck	&	Company. Salk	vaccine

sales	so	boosted	Merck’s	business	in	1956	that	its	net	profit,	after	the	tax	bite,

was	$20,224,427	compared	with	$15,714,342	in	1955. Wyeth	is	one	of	41	subsidiaries	of	American	Home	Products. Salk	vaccine	sales

boosted	AHP’s	profits	from	$20,536,619	(1955)	to	$31,250,355	in	1956. A	50%
	profit	increase	for	the	parent. Parke-Davis

caveat emptor
—let the buyer beware—when he buys crude
DMSO from his friendly local dealer.
While DMSO side effects and toxicity will be discussed in
Chapter 5
,
we
advise here that the most efficacious remedy for acid burning or skin rash resulting
from DMSO usage is to coat the topically treated skin with aloe vera cream. Aloe
vera is a transparent mucilaginous gel derived from the leaf of the aloe, a cactus-
like plant. It is useful as a follow-up to any topical DMSO application—its use is
recommended after each DMSO treatment, with or without skin irritation
occurring. Aloe vera is a good preventative for such external irritation.
The usual oral dosage of DMSO is one to two teaspoons per day. The drug is
mixed with tomato juice or grape juice, since it is quite foul tasting by itself.Arthritics benefit from taking 50 percent DMSO orally as well as applying it
topically.
Some physicians give patients as many as three injections of DMSO
intravenously per day. This is not the intravenous infusion or drip technique, but is
a slow push into the blood stream all at once. This method is reported to be useful
for treating the more serious degenerative diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis,
crippling arthritis, multiple sclerosis, parkinsonism, and others. As much as 20 cc
DMSO in injections have been given as a push. The drug is diluted to
approximately 25 percent concentration with sterile water.
The slow intravenous drip procedure is carried out over a two- to three-hour
period. Then 50 cc to 100 cc of DMSO are placed into a 500 cc glucose or saline
solution and dripped into a vein in the patient’s arm.
EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) chelation therapy, the intravenous
injection of a synthetic amino acid that removes ionic calcium from the blood
stream, may be administered at the same time with the chelating agent being a
portion of the same DMSO intravenous solution for infusion. EDTA itself will
often relieve the symptoms of arthritis.
Please note that these injection procedures must be performed by a physician
trained in the use of DMSO and EDTA. There are some possible side effects,
which are completely reversible and harmless but can be frightening to someone
unacquainted with how to counter them. As with any other medicine, the doctor
should be properly trained and experienced in the use of these compounds.

General Medical Uses for DMSO
Ruth P. Lewis of Sarasota, Florida, age sixty-four, was in so much pain from
rheumatoid arthritis she couldn’t walk without the aid of a four-legged walking
device. Suffering from her joint complaints for over twenty years, she had also
recently sustained a back injury and was told by her physicians that she must have
complete bed rest for at least six months. It was the only thing to do, they
emphasized.
Mrs. Lewis realized that remaining in bed for so long could cause her never to
walk again, even with the aid of her walking device. So, rather than give her life
over to remaining flat on her back, the woman had her son and her husband
physically carry her into the Douglass preventive medicine clinic, then located in
Marietta, Georgia (the clinic has since been moved to Clayton, Georgia), to
undergo a course of treatment with DMSO.
“I had previously experienced many months of severe pain in my hips and legs,
visiting specialists, diagnostic clinics, hospitalization in traction, and other
procedures,” said Mrs. Lewis. “When I entered the doctor’s office for DMSO
treatment, I was unable to put both feet on the ground. After two-and-a-half weeks
of intravenous DMSO treatment, I walked out of that office without any help
whatsoever—no cane—no support at all.
“I had not been able to close my right hand completely for over a year. It even
kept me awake at night with severe pain. But after the IV, topical, and oral DMSO
treatment, I can now close my hand tightly. The arthritis has not returned,” said
Ruth Lewis.
“I cannot put into words what this drug has done for me. I highly recommend it.
I saw many people come and go during my clinic stay; all walked out well,” she
said.
*   *   *
“In January 1980, I injured my knee and was in terrific pain, at times immobile,”
wrote a retired schoolteacher, sixty-two-year-old Gertie D. Brown of PortCharlotte, Florida. “My orthopedist stated that I had a torn ligament, and that this
would require surgery. But I refused to have the knee operation. Six months later I
heard of Dr. William Campbell Douglass through the media (television) and of the
wonderful results his patients were getting from the use of DMSO. I immediately
contacted Dr. Douglass’s clinic and started receiving treatments. I received at
least eight intravenous DMSO treatments and got wonderful results, too.”
Mrs. Brown’s IV doses of DMSO were quite small. Most of her direct comfort
came from topical application of DMSO to her injured knee and to other joints that
had given her aching pain over the years.
“The knee is not fully strong, so when I do quite a bit of walking it feels
weak,” said Gertie Brown. “Before retiring, I apply a small amount of the topical
DMSO and the next morning I am ready to return to my daily activities. For those
who seem to have great problems with joint pain, I strongly recommend [that they]
try DMSO.”
*   *   *
A handsome man, six-foot-tall Marvin Combs of Bradenton, Florida, doesn’t look
his sixty-six years. He still works hard in construction as a building contractor.
Mr. Combs said, “Being in an auto accident with a terrific whiplash that also
aggravated other existing health problems, DMSO gave me decided improvement
over the back pain and for my other troubles. Medicine prescribed by other
doctors had given me no results at all. But lawyers fighting my accident case
thought I should continue with my original doctors. So I stopped the DMSO
treatment. Again I got no results from the numerous pain pills prescribed and just
built up high prescription costs.
“The way I know how I now feel, I surely will return for additional DMSO
treatment [after this accident claim is concluded] as it is the only thing I can
honestly say gave me relief even to the aggravated problems I already had. To me
it is wonderful there is something to help folks besides stuffing a lot of pills into
one’s system.”
Unfortunately, payment for medicine like DMSO is not reimbursed by health
or liability insurance policies because it is not considered a legal form of therapy.
This, despite Combs’s medical record that says: “Arrived
with severe pain in his
neck, left arm, lower right arm, some tenderness in both legs, and general arthritis.
After five days, he ‘sleeps like a baby because I have absolutely no pain.’ Relief
was obtained after the third IV. He was able to return to his normal routine directlyafter the conclusion of DMSO treatment.”
One of the ways to determine progress from using DMSO for weak, arthritic
joints is to measure grip strength in the hands before and after receiving DMSO
treatment. The technique involves inflating a rolled-up sphygmomanometer cuff,
the same instrument used to measure blood pressure, to 20 millimeters of mercury
(mm/Hg). The patient then grabs hold of the cuff and squeezes it as hard as
possible to raise the mercury reading on the attached pressure gauge as high as he
or she is able. A normally strong man’s hand should be able to put out between
200 mm/Hg and 300 mm/Hg of pressure; a normally strong woman might squeeze
the blood pressure cuff in a range from 100 mm/Hg to 200 mm/Hg.
Before DMSO treatment, Combs could raise the mercury reading only to the
40 mm/Hg level with either hand. In three days of taking intravenous DMSO he
doubled his grip strength reading to 80 mm/Hg with either hand. He will probably
grow stronger when he returns to using DMSO.
*   *   *
Another building contractor, sixty-one-year-old Russell Whitney of Arcadia,
Florida, is a severe arthritic who consumes an exceedingly high daily amount of
sugar—fifty-one teaspoonsful in his refined foods. This high sugar intake is quite
significant, for it may contribute to the patient’s arthritic disability. Sugar’s
deleterious effect on the body will be discussed at length in
Chapter 7
.
Mr. Whitney had excellent results with DMSO usage. His consumption of
overly refined foods and sweets did not prevent the solvent from exerting a
beneficial effect. The man’s ability to sleep without pain improved greatly; the
swelling of his finger joints went away; he tapered off all pain medication within
five days of the start of DMSO treatment.
The patient is a sportsman and hunter. Immediately following his DMSO
intravenous infusions, he left on an African hunting safari that lasted for three
months. The DMSO treatment allowed him to


 normal 'good' diet supplies about 3 g. A level teaspoon of about 5 g
of potassium citrate contains about 1 g of potassium. This amount 3 times a day with drinks or mixed with meals is about the upper
recommended daily intake.
If there are no contraindications for sodium intake, then sodium bicarbo nate in higher amounts is somewhat less critical. The best
way to take it is with a drink some time (e.g. half an hour) before meals or, generally easier to'stomach', 2-3 hours after meals.
Another recommended way is to dissolve a teaspoon of bicarbonate in a large glass of water, stir in a teaspoon of psyllium hulls and
drink immediately, best soon after rising. In all you may use up to 3 rounded teaspoons of bicarbonate spaced out over the day.
There are two ways of estimating how much to take and for how long. The simpler way is just to go by the amount of pain and other
discomfort caused by an inﬂammation. The more inﬂammation and pain, the more alkalizer you may take. When problems subside
then you reduce the amount of alkalizers, and eventually the minerals in a good diet may be sufﬁcient to keep you well.
The other possibility and the better option is from time to time to measure the pH or acid-alkaline balance of your saliva or urine. The
saliva is a better indicator of the condition of the lymph ﬂuid but urine is easier to test. Take so much alkalizer that your urine during
the day is mostly above pH 7 or slightly alkaline (pH 7 is neutral). To check your urine you may buy pH papers with a range from
about 4 or 5 to 8 or 9 (see the Internet for suppliers).
Home About Diseases Healing the Body Healing Foods Healing the Mind Healing the Emotions Energies Science & Spirituality Spirituality Contact10/30/24, 7:21 AM Health-Science-Spirit - Alkalizing with Sodium Bicarbonate & Calcium Citrate
https://health-science-spirit.com/Healing_the_Body/Alkalizing_with_SodaBicarb.html 1/2Alternatively you may use turmeric dissolved in water or better methanol as explained in www.health-science-spirit.com/Acid-Alkaline-
Balance.html. Turmeric changes colour at pH 6.8. Above this it is red and below 6.8 it is yellow. Therefore when the urine sample
turns red you can assume that it is neutral or slightly alkaline.
If the overacidity was caused by an unbalanced food intake with too much acid-forming foods and not enough alkalizing foods, then
the urine may respond within days to alkalizing remedies and foods. Acid-forming foods are generally high in phosphorus, such as
meat, ﬁsh and eggs. Also sugar and reﬁned cereals low in minerals increase acidity. However, if the overacidity is caused by damage
to the oxidizing component of the cellular energy production then the overproduction of lactic acid may continue for a long time until
health is sufﬁciently improved, for instance when a systemic Candida infection has been removed.
Another common cause of overacidity are allergies, especially food allergies. If you avoid an allergenic food for several days the urine
may become more alkaline but if you then re-introduce the food, urine and saliva become again more acid within hours. You can
make a urine test about two and a half hours after eating the food. To reduce or stop an allergic reaction take in a drink a rounded
teaspoon of 2 parts of sodium bicarbonate and 1 part of potassium citrate.  If necessary repeat this dose an hour later.
However, in the long term there is a price to pay for trying to make your lymph ﬂuid alkaline: the body may gradually start forming
calcium deposits. That is good for teeth, bones and joints, but you do not want other tissue to calcify as this will cause stiffness and
speed up aging. This is what commonly happens with chronic inﬂam mations anyway - over the years they cause calcium to
accumulate in the inﬂamed areas, and this reduces inﬂammation and increases stif fness.
Therefore, when chronic inﬂammation and its related disease processes are no longer a problem but stiffness increases instead, then
it is best to lower the pH of urine and saliva to a slightly acid pH level of about 6.4 to 6.8 or to when turmeric just turns from red to
yellow.
Summary for taking Alkalizers
The following recommendations are the maximum amounts. Start with a lower dose and increase gradually up to 3 teaspoons daily. It
is important to check your pH and adjust the intake of alkalizers as your pH moves into the required range.
How to use Potassium citrate:  Take up to 1 level teaspoon 3 x a day directly mixed with meals, or with some diluted vegetable or
fruit juice, or stir into a green drink (a mix of spirulina, wheat or barley grass, and chlorella is great).
How to use Sodium bicarbonate:  Take at least ½ hour before a meal or 2 to 3 hours after a meal, up to 1 rounded teaspoon 3 times
daily. You may also add 1 teaspoon each of sodium bicarbonate and psyllium hulls to a large glass of water, stir and drink
immediately, best soon after rising.
Directions for combining Potass ium citrate and Sodium bicarbonate:  You may use both at a ratio of 2 parts of sodium
bicarbonate to 1 part of potassium citrate, or alternatively you may also mix equal parts or use more potassium. These may be taken
together in the same drink such as diluted juice or a green drink; take at least ½ hour before or 2 to 3 hours after a meal. If using
them separately you may take 1 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate each early in the morning and late in the afternoon, and a
teaspoon of potassium at midday; you may also use any other sequence.
When to test your pH: To beat inﬂammation initially test several times a day without much attention to mealtimes and, except for
morning urine, it should be above pH 7. For those who want to reduce stiffness, 6.0 to 6.5 in the morning is OK but then throughout
the day it should be between 6.5 and 7.0. After initially testing more frequ ently it is OK later to test only occasionally, perhaps once or
twice a week, best 3 hours after a meal or snack at the same time of the day.

A Brief History of Silver and Silver Colloids in Medicine

      Silver has been used as a medicine and preservative by many cultures throughout history. The Greeks and others used silver
vessels for water and other liquids to keep them fresh.  Pioneers trekking across the wild west generations ago faced many
hardships. Keeping safe drinking water was one of them. Bacteria, algae, etc. found a fertile breeding ground in the wooden water
casks that were carried on the wagons. They placed silver and copper coins in the casks to retard the growth of these spoilag e
organisms. They also put silver dollars in their milk to keep it fresh.  Settlers in the Australian outback still suspend silver ware in
their water tanks to retard spoilage. Silver water purification filters and tablets are manufactured in Switzerland and use d by many
nations and international airlines. Preventing growth of algae and bacteria in swimming pools is a similar problem that peopl e face
today. Electrical ionization units that impregnate the water with silver and copper ions are available today that sanitize the pool
water without the harsh effects of chlorine.

      In contemporary times, colloidal silver is something of a pariah.  It is popular among alternative medicine enthusiasts and i t has
been officially disapproved of by the FDA.  It is poli tically incorrect and has been marketed widely as a "modern wonder cure
alternative to antibiotics" in health food stores, multi -level marketing and other related outlets. These claims are based on the
germicidal properties of silver and anecdotal reports of effectiveness. Silver does indeed have germicidal properties. It was
employed as a germicide and antibiotic before the development of modern antibiotics. After reviewing the literature on the pr ior
usage of colloidal silver in the pre -antibiotic era, it  becomes evident that the dosages they used were far in excess of the usual
recommended dosages of


 blamed anyone for anything. Even in difﬁcult circumstances they remained in a composed and happy state of mind. There
was no competition in their interactions, only cooperation.
They were completely fearless, sure-footed, agile and enduring. At rest they were totally relaxed but could be fully alert in an instant.
To illustrate this in a funny way, Jean related that sometimes one of the men would wake up in the middle of the night, remember a
joke and start telling it. Instantly all the others were wide-awake, roared with laughter and seconds later were sound asleep again.
They just loved to work, for them it was a pleasure using their bodies. They did not even have a word for work; they just did cheerfully
whatever needed to be done. The children were always well behaved, obeyed happily and instantly, never fought among themselves
and were never punished. How they raised their children was, of course, the secret to their success as human beings and as a
society.
Until the babies indicated on their own volition that they wanted to start crawling around, they were always carried, usually by the
mother. Also during sleep the baby remained in body contact with the mother. There is no danger of injuring the baby when rolling
over, as subconsciously the mother always remains aware of the position of the baby.
After the baby started crawling and later creeping, the mother was always available when the baby desired body contact. However,
the mother would not tell the baby and later the infant what to do or not to do. There were sharp knives lying around which the baby
might pick up at the wrong end to play. There were deep pits or dangerous drops near which it might play without an anxious glance
of the mother. It might even pick up a burning branch from a ﬁre and stumble around the thatched huts. There were no warning calls
and no accidents.
Neither were the children told when or what to eat or when to sleep or which role models to follow. Boys would quite naturally pick up
bows and arrows from other boys and start shooting with sharp arrows without being shown where or what to shoot or any safety
precautions. They might start doing this at the age of eighteen months.
Girls at that age, on the other hand, might join a group of women and girls and practise grating roots. At the age of three or four a girl
might be in full charge of an infant, play and work is all the same to them. An adult might need something, gives a short command or
request and the child instantly brings it.
The parents totally trusted the innate protective instincts of their children. A baby may appear to be completely oblivious to any
danger when playing at the edge of a cliff but its subconscious or body self protects the baby much more effectively than the mind
could do, just as it does in a sleepwalker. If we warn an infant of a danger, the mind starts interfering with the body self and it loses its
instinctive protection. If, on top of this, the parent is afraid that the child will fall, then it will try to fulﬁl this expectation and fall.
Small children are extremely psychic and always try to meet the expecta tions of their parents, especially of the mother. The Yequana
children never fail because their parents have unwavering positive expectations. Children are neither blamed nor praised for
anything, just conﬁdently expected to do the right thing.
Furthermore, babies and infants are deliberately exposed to the wides t possible range of sensory stimulations. From this and by
observing adults and older children, they learn to judge unfailingly their ability to cope with each situation, and their parents
completely trust their judgements. They know if the child is not conﬁdent to judge a situation, it will ask a parent for help.
There was one problem child to show that the amazing abilities and behaviour of these children were not inherited but the result of
their upbringing. This child belonged to a Yequana couple that had lived in contact with our civilisation for some time, but also this
child belatedly learned to ﬁt in.
While these men were much toughe r than men in our society, if one genuinely felt strong pain, such as when cleaning out a deep
wound, he would not hesitate to cry out loud, comforted without words by physical contact with his wife or mother. If either a child or
an adult lost their natural family, they were adopted into another family. This was important even for adults for their emotional and
social support. For more information see http://www.continuum-concept.org /.10/30/24, 3:01 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Healing Social Relationships
https://health-science-spirit.com/Healing_the_Mind/Healing-Social-Relationships.html 3/7SOCIAL  RELA TIONSHIPS
As compared to the Yequana we live in a primitive society in regard to our social relationships. I believe that future generations will
see our society as severely unbalanced, an overdeveloped technocracy on a socially sick base. We can learn from the Yequana how
to heal our society. It starts with our relationships with our children. For a long time to come we will not be able to rely on authorities
and experts in this endeavour, instead idealistic individuals and groups must take the initiative.
Parents, preferably within the framework of a support group, must start experimenting to raise their children according to continuum
principles. This is not easy in our situation. It involves not only constant close body contact with the mother or other carers for the ﬁrst
six months, and a trusting attitude with positive expectations, but also other children in a wide range of ages as positive role models.
Two-year olds learn best from three-year olds and they in turn from four-year-old children.
It can be done. I have known mothers who did keep body contact with their babies until they wanted to start crawling. I have seen a
three-year old boy without close supervision or need for safety conce rns use a sheath knife, a hatchet, an electric drill, and a
blowtorch, and he immediately and happily ran home when his parents  called. I believe that children who felt secure and loved in
their baby and infant years, and who had a wide range of relevant sensory stimulation and positive role models, can be trusted even
in our modern technological society.
Obvious dangers, such as knifes, staircases or pools, should not be a problem. Babies and infants easily learn to ﬂoat, and I see less
of a chance of a secure child falling into an unfenced pool than an insec ure child drowning in a fenced pool. Make children aware of
hidden dangers through your own behaviour. Children imitate, therefore you do not yourself what you do not want them to do.
I believe that antisocial behaviour is a sign of severe emotional deprivation, especially in early childhood. Give your existing children,
and especially those with antisocial or neurotic tendencies, the opportunity to experience the missed phases of emotional
development. Try to explain to them in simple terms why or what you intend to do, such as inviting your children, possibly one at a
time, to sleep in the parent's bed whenever they feel like it. Get them to do it even if they are initially reluctant. Also cuddle a lot and
possibly massage each other, bathe or shower together.
For infants all this will be natural and enjoyable but with older children emotional barriers may need to be broken down gradually.
While loving sexual activity in the presence of infants is desirable to provide a role model, for older children it might be upsetting to be
exposed to it unprepared. Use your own judgement, and also include the children in tenderly relating of the whole family but in a way
that does not intentionally cause sexual stimulation.
Social Change
Emotionally deprived children grow  into adults with antisocial or asocial tendencies. On one side of the scale this manifests as
criminal and destructive behaviour, and on the other as shyness, lack of conﬁdence and depression. A further result is the ego-
centred individualism so prevalent in western societies. It brings forth political, business and community leaders who are more
interested in personal power and wealth than in the overall good for the whole of our society.
In contrast to our present system that I would describe as adversary competition, a society of emotionally mature individuals would be
based on benevolent cooperation and spiritual values. Elected representatives, for instance, would fully cooperate to ﬁnd the best
solutions for the common good, and the most suitable citizens would be chosen, not based on a party system.
Business ventures would operate according to cooperative principles, both between different ventures as well as internally, without a
sharp division between capital and labour. Actually, I regard an individu alised spiritual communism as the highest social ideal, as it
was practised by the Yequana Indians, and to a lesser degree in various monasteries and religious orders, but the latter generally are
not sufﬁciently individualised. However, to be successful such a system must be based on spiritually and emotionally mature
individuals. Any system will become corrupted if used by immature individuals.
A ﬁrst step towards reforming the present business climate would be a legal and community expectation that the main duty of care for
corporations is to the whole of society rather than to their shareholders. The very reason for the existence of companies is to be seen
in service to society. In addition, a company has a duty of care to its employees, its shareholders and the environment. A further step
may involve government incentives to form cooperative ventures.
 The judicial system would be based on conciliation and rehabilitation.  The more emotionally mature a

smaller  pieces  are  needed,  horizontally.  Leafy  greens
are  to  be  cul  along  the  grains  of  the  leaves;  their  stems
may  be  meed  horizontally.  Avoid  using  the  coarse  or
purplish  parts  of  the  stems.  Elongated  root  vegetables,
such  as  carrots,  daikon,  and  parsnips,  may  be  cut  in
many  ways.  The  initial  cut  needs  to  be  a  horizontal
one,  on  a  slant,  as  each  cut  of  the  root  vegetable
should  incorporate  the  air/space  (top)  energy,  the
earth/water  (bottom)  energy,  and  the  fire  (middle)
energy.  Round  root  vegetables,  such  as  rutabagas,
potatoes,  and  onions,  have  a  grain  that  runs  along
their  center  length.  Onions  and  potatoes  in  particular
endure  the  most  unjust  handling — they  are  generally
cut  opposite  their  grain  (people  seem  fascinated  by
the  circular  rings  rather  than  the  proper  lengthy  slices).
Incidentally,  when  cut  correctly  they  taste  much
sweeter.
To  observe  foods  closely  and  to  work  with  them
thoughtfully  and  harmoniously  is  truly  a  marvel.
Doing  so  adds  joy  to  cooking  and  strengthens  our
link  to  the  universe.
Cutting  Techniques
Cabbage
Shredding:  Cut  cabbage  in  half,  lengthwise,  along  cen-
ter grain,  and  then  again  in  quarters.  Remove  core
from  all  four  quarters.  Place  each  quarter  lengthwise
on  cutting  board  and  slice  thinly  along  the  grain. Large  Leafy  Greens
Diagonal  slice:  Fold  each  leaf  lengthwise  along  its
spine  and  cut  off  the  stem.  Open  the  leaves  and  stack
them  12  pieces  high.  Fold  the  stack  over  along  the
spine  and  slice  thinly  on  the  diagonal,  along  leaf  grain.
Gather  the  stems  and  cut  finely  on  the  diagonal.
Broccoli/Cauliflower
Florets:  Cut  below  the  flower  and  hold  flower  face
down  on  cutting  board.  Cut  into  the  stem  toward  the
flower  (do  not  cut  through  flower).  Gently  pull  flow-
ers apart  with  your  hands.
Half-moon  stems:  Always  use  your  broccoli  and  cau-
liflower stems.  Peel  stems  of  broccoli  if  skins  are  thick.
Cut  lengthwise  down  the  center  of  stems.  Place  center
face  down  on  cutting  board.  Cut  on  the  diagonal  or  in
half-moons  '/•»"  thick.
Matchsticks:  Cut  cabbage  cores  in  pieces  '/<"  thick.
Place  pieces  in  stacks  1"  high  and  cross-cut  at  a  thick-
ness of  Vih"  to  produce  matchsticks.

INTRODUCTION    TO    THE    RECIPES
Long  Root  Vegetables
Shavings:  Hold  root  vegetable  in  your  hand,  away
from  your  body.    Shave  the  vegetable  by  chipping
away  in  thin  or  thick  shavings.
Matchsticks:  Slice  root  vegetable  on  the  diagonal,
'/»"  thick.  Place  the  slices  in  stacks  1"  high  and  cross-
cut at  a  thickness  of  Vir."  to  produce  matchsticks.
Half-rounds:  Slice  root  vegetable  in  half  lengthwise.
Place  center  down  on  cutting  board.  Cross-cut  in
half-rounds  to  desired  thickness.
Quarter-rounds:  Slice  root  vegetable  in  half,  then
again  in  quarters,  lengthwise.  Place  center  down  on
cutting  board.  Cross-cut  in  quarter-rounds  to  desired
thickness.
Log-cut:  Cut  root  vegetable  in  pieces  2"  long.  Cut
each  piece  into  vertical  slabs.  Slice  each  slab  length-
wise at  a  thickness  of  xU—xli. Roll-cut:  Cut  root  vegetable  once  on  the  diagonal  at  a
thickness  of  1".  Roll  vegetable  90  degrees  away  from
you  and  cut  again.  Continue  rolling  vegetable  back
and  forth,  repeating  process  until  the  whole  vegetable
is  cut.
Small  Round  Vegetables
Cubes:  Slice  vegetable  into  three  vertical  slabs.  Slice
each  slab  into  vertical  logs.  Cross-cut  in    cubes  of
desired  size.
Onions
Crescents:  Cut  onion  in  half,  lengthwise,  along  center
grain.  Place  each  half  face  down  on  cutting  board.
Slice  lengthwise  along  the  grain  in  crescents  ol  desired
thickness.
Minced:  (  ui  onion  m  half,  lengthwise,  along  centei

Squash
Halve*:  Remove  stem  with  a  paring  knife  and  cut
squash  in  half,  lengthwise,  along  center  grain.  Re-
move fibrous  innards  and  seeds  with  a  spoon.
Chunks:  Remove  stem  with  a  paring  knife  and  cut
squash  in  half,  lengthwise,  along  center  grain.  Place
halves  face  down  on  cutting  board.  Cut  each  half  length-
wise down  the  center  in  two  pieces.  Turn  cutting  board
and  cross-cut  against  the  grain  to  desired  size.
COOKING  METHODS
Chaunking
In  Vedic  times,  all  spices  were  roasted  in  ghee  or  oil
before  being  added  to  a  dish.  This  process,  called
chaunking,  is  one  that  continues  in  India  today.  It
serves  to  readily  seal  the  spices  while  at  the  same  time
opening  their  flavor  and  energies.  Traditionally  seeds,
such  as  cumin,  coriander,  and  mustard,  are  chaunked
together  with  various  seasonings,  such  as  freshly
ground  ginger  root,  minced  or  whole  chilies,  and
chana  or  urad  dhal  in  a  heavy  cast-iron  skillet.  The
seeds  may  be  whole,  crushed,  or  powdered  before
chaunking.  Chaunks  may  be  added  at  the  beginning
or  end  of  a  dish;  in  the  case  of  kichadi  (a  dhal  and  rice
combination),  the  chaunk  is  added  toward  the  end.
For  the  sake  of  simplicity,  in  the  recipes  in  this  book
I  have  used  the  term  roast  or  saute  when  referring  to
chaunking. Dry-roasting
