, so I understood why my once fragile mind
could not deal with it all.
I realized then that I had post-traumatic stress disorder and dissociat ion, which gave me new focus in consequent emotional/
cognitive therapy and EEG brain-training sessions. It all makes sen se  now— all of my heightened senses, panic attacks, low self-
esteem, difficulty concentrating, depression, anger, insomnia, and ea ting disorders—I can finally see that I reacted normally to
something that was not my fault, and I am now taking care of myself out of l ove that I did not know how to have before.
To think that my doctor once wanted me to take intravenous AIDS medicine— No W ay! As if more poison could heal me? I
have learned that the band-aids that are put on illnesses do not make them  really disappear.
I am extremely sensitive to any form of drug, even those in foods. During t his time of illness in my adult life, my vegetarian diet
transitioned toward vegan, and I frequented the V egSource.com website f or general, vegan recipes. I then went to Dr. McDougall’s
low-fat whole foods forum and tried that diet, thinking this was the healt hiest one for weight loss and vitality, although my body told
me otherwise through its digestive upset. I did not understand that this  was a big problem, since I had more pressing burdens in my
life.
When I spent the time and emotional energy to seriously turn inward an d peel away layers of toxic perceptions, I could see
more about my eating habits. I saw that I needed sugars for energy, yet I c ould not eat enough fruits if I ate a cooked food diet
because of my digestive troubles due to improper food combinations. I thus felt c ompelled to eat processed junk food or drink
caffeinated tea for stimulation (which made me feel sick too).
After two years of eating that diet (which barely gave me benefit), a nd finding my identity, I was finally ready to take Dr. Graham’s forum on that website seriously. His knowledge of exercise a nd food-combining principles that consist of low-fat, raw
foods with emphasis on fruit fit wonderfully with my newly found focus on h olistic health.
I researched the general raw food scene during my immersion into this  new lifestyle over one year ago, and I made a few
recipes from other leading raw foodists who limit fruit and increase fa ts and protein. I felt heavy and sick from nuts and oils as well
as their improper food combinations, harsh flavorings, and unnecessary foods. I noticed how my candida also flourished while eating
that way. Additionally, it was easy for me to overeat the dehydrated and “g ourmet” meals, which is something that does not happen
when I eat whole, raw fruits and vegetables.
Because I have such a sensitive body, shouldn’t all “nutritionist s” test their theories on someone like me who can best show if
their diets cause harm?
Dr. Graham is the only raw food teacher I will heed because he teaches i n accordance with my innate need to eat primarily
fresh fruits and tender greens in proper combinations, or just one type of fr uit for an entire meal. By eating this way, I obtain instant
physical and mental energy that is sustained throughout the day—n o more naps and no more aches and pains after eating!
Only by eating this diet can I exercise without stimulants, and my r ecovery time is much faster with much less pain than if I
would eat overt, raw fats and cooked foods. I feel only healthful benefits, as th ough my body feels clear enough to start serious
healing, and my throat and digestive tract began to feel amazingly bet ter within the very first day of eating this way.
 When I decide to turn to cooked, vegan food as a type of band-aid to numb my emotions and body, I  instantly feel sluggish
and dull-minded and have fibromyalgic pain and sinusitis. However, I stil l do this occasionally for my evening meal, knowing full well
that this acts like a drug, because my emotional state is not the strong est. This need for temporary relief sometimes takes precedence
over the part of me that “knows better,” since cooked food definitely does not  promote health for me. Dr. Graham also showed me
the addictive power of cooked foods, and my heated supper can easily turn into an al l-I-can-eat, vegan buffet unless I consciously
plan my meal beforehand. However, even then I end up allowing more cooked food becau se of my addiction, which presents itself
with the very first bite.
It is actually freeing to see this addiction. I am working to be strong enou gh to stop eating cooked foods entirely, for when I
feel emotionally, spiritually, and mentally secure, I abhor the drugge d effect that cooked foods, especially grains, give me. My goal is
to be complete and connected, and the 100% low-fat, raw diet is an important truth  in the big picture of health.
I emphatically believe from experience, that all of my physical sympt oms, including candida, are secondary to the greater
picture of my system originally shutting down because of the trauma I  experienced when I was a young child. Our bodies are meant
to heal when allowed to do so, and now is the time for me. I am happy to have finally  found a teacher in Dr. Graham, who is a
leader by example and an enthusiastic supporter of the intrinsic wisdom  within all of us to heal.

Jacky Dees, West Bend, Wisconsin
For many years, I had a candida overgrowth with severe symptoms. The sym ptoms were the classic ones—itching, burning,
that “yeasty” feeling, digestive problems, constipation, acne, f atigue, depression, plus many, many more. In desperation, I tried
everything I could think of to get rid of it. I read every book, pamphlet, article, a nd website I could find about candida. I spent gobs
of money and time trying to cure myself.
I had tried conventional medicine, alternative medicine, supplement s, therapies, homeopathics, cleanses, mini-fasts, “candida
diets,” naturopathy, and hypnosis, and I even had my mercury dental fil lings replaced. Y ou name it, I tried it. When nothing worked,
I had basically resigned myself to the fact that the candida was here  to stay. I would spend the rest of my days feeling like garbage,
and I was only 33 years old. Depression set in, and my life turned darker and darker. On my darkest day of all, I decided to go
raw, cold turkey. That was January 2002.
During my search for a cure, I had been reading about the raw food diet on the I nternet. I started out using the high-fat raw
diet, and over the course of the next year or so I lost 30 pounds and looked like a skele ton (I’m 5'3" and I was down to 85
pounds). About half of my hair had fallen out, my teeth hurt, and I was basica lly an empty, human-shaped shell walking around just
trying to get through each day.
The amount of fat I was eating was incredibly high, but I had no idea that i n reality, I was eating very few calories. During this
time, on the advice of the high-fat raw diet promoters, I ended up on the “c andida diet” for nearly a year (no fruit, only raw veggies
and fat and tons of supplements). I was convinced that someday the candida ove rgrowth would just go away and all would be well
again. But … that day didn’t come.
One day I was reading a popular high-fat raw message board, and I kep t seeing people there bad-mouthing Dr. Graham’s
high-fruit, low-fat diet. I became curious about this guy. I did a search, f ound his website, and eventually found my way to the
V egSource message board hosted by Dr. Graham. I’ve been reading it  daily ever since. I believe it has literally saved my life.
The thing I was struggling with on the high-fat, almost-no-fruit  diet was that I desperately wanted to eat fruit but was frightened
away from doing so. After reading some of Dr. Graham’s V egSource messag es on candida, I was absolutely thrilled to learn that I
could eat fruit. Just reading that lifted my heart up to the skies. Also, w hen I read that my candida overgrowth could be gone within
weeks on this diet, I could hardly believe it. Could it be? I had been fighting i t for six years, and it could be gone literally within WEEKS?!
At this point, I figured that I had nothing to lose. Nothing else had worked, why  not try this? I started to eat bananas. More
and more bananas. I dropped the fats and ate tons of fruit. And guess what? It h appened. Gone. Within weeks.
I had a consultation with Dr. Graham in June 2003 and what he taught me was  incredibly enlightening. He educated me about
80/10/10rv  and suggested healthy changes to my lifestyle. I began working on improv ing these aspects of my life.
… And then the bottom fell out from under my world. My father, who had been battling cancer for 14 years, was rapidly
nearing the end. I was flying home every other month to see


 exploit. Every time he thought
of Maya his mind would be invaded by hideous images. But if he resisted
her, clamping down his grief with steel bands, there would never be a
release, and the demons would hover around him.
The crone knew all this and waited for his reaction. Suddhodana’ s eyes
lost their anxiety and became hard as flint. In his mind’ s eye he conjured up
Maya’ s face, then he took an ax and smashed her memory, once and for all.
The air around him stank of funeral smoke drifting in from the garden. He
had made the warrior ’s choice.

A HUNDRED OIL LAMPS  flickered in the reception hall, each one held high as
courtiers craned for a better look. At first the spectacle had been fairly calm,
but when the animal sacrifices began, the cries of baby goats and the
gleaming of knives changed the atmosphere. Restless now, the courtiers
began to mill around, raising a clamor over the chanting Brahmins.
In the middle of the melee stood Suddhodana, growing impatient. It was
the of ficial naming ceremony for his new son, and also the time when the
baby’ s birth chart would be read aloud by the court astrologers, the
jyotishis.  Siddhartha’ s destiny would be pronounced and his whole life
affected from this moment on. But pronounce was the one thing they
weren’ t doing. Instead, the four old men bent over the cradle, stroking their
beards, mouthing ambiguous commonplaces. “V enus is beneficly placed.
The tenth house shows promise, but the full moon is aligned with Saturn;
his mind will take time to develop.”
“How many of you are still alive?” Suddhodana grumbled. “Four? I
thought there used to be five.”
The implied threat was empty. Astrologers were strange but revered
creatures, and the king knew it was dangerous to cross them. They belonged
to the Brahmin caste, and although the king could hire them, he was only of
the Kshatriya caste, which meant that in the eyes of God they were his
superiors. After Maya’ s funeral Suddhodana had spent days alone, refusing
to unbolt his bedroom door. But there was a kingdom to look after, a line ofsuccession to hold up to the world and his lurking enemies. It would be a
sign of weakness for Suddhodana’ s entire lineage if the astrologers had
anything dark to say.
“Is he safe, or is he going to die? T ell me now,” Suddhodana demanded.
The eldest jyotishi shook his head. “It was the mother ’s karma to die,
but the son is safe.” These words were potent; everyone in the room heard
and believed them. They would deter a potential assassin, in case someone
had been hired to clandestinely murder the prince. Now the stars predicted
the failure of any such attempt.
“Go on,” the king demanded. The nearby clamor subsided in
anticipation.
“The chart belongs to one who will become a great king,” the eldest
jyotishi intoned, making sure that these words too were heard by as many
people as possible.
“Why didn’ t you say so to begin with? Get on with it. Let’ s have it all.”
Suddhodana was barking impatiently, but inside he felt tremendous relief.
The astrologers glanced nervously at one another. “There are…
complications.”
“Meaning what, exactly?” Suddhodana glared, daring them to take back
a word of their prediction. The eldest jyotishi cleared his throat. Canki, the
high Brahmin, moved in closer, sensing that he might have to intervene.
“Do you trust us, Y our Highness?” the eldest jyotishi asked.
“Of course. I’ve only executed one astrologer, maybe two. What do you
mean to say?”
“The chart foresees that your son will not rule Sakya.” Dramatic pause
as the king cursed under his breath. “He will hold dominion over the four
corners of the earth.”At this, general consternation broke out. Courtiers gasped, a few
applauded, most were stunned. The jyotishi’ s words had their intended
effect. But Suddhodana stif fened.
“How much am I paying you? T oo much. Y ou expect me to believe
such a thing?” He forced a bemused tone. He wanted to test the old man’ s
resolve.
Before the jyotishi could find a reply, however, there was a stirring in
the crowd. The oil lamps, which had moved back and forth in the air like
wandering stars, became still. Courtiers parted and bowed, making way for
someone who had just entered the room—an eminence.
Asita, Asita.
Suddhodana didn’ t have to hear the whispered name as it was passed
along. He knew Asita on sight; they had met long ago. When Suddhodana
was seven, he had been woken up by guards in the middle of the night. A
pony was waiting for him beside his father, who rode a black char ger. The
old king said nothing, only nodding for the retinue to move forward.
Suddhodana felt nervous, as his father often made him feel. They rode in a
pack of guardsmen toward the mountains, and just when the boy thought he
would fall asleep in the saddle, the old king stopped. He had the boy placed
in his arms, and they went alone up a scree slope toward a cave above their
heads. The mouth of the cave was hidden behind brush and fallen boulders,
but his father seemed to know where to go.
He stood in the dawn light and called, “Asita!” After a moment a naked
hermit came out, neither obedient nor defiant. “Y ou have blessed my family
for generations. Now bless my son,” the king said. The boy stared at the
naked man, who appeared by his beard, which was not yet completely gray,
to be no more than fifty. How could he have blessed anyone for
generations? Then the old king set him on his feet; Suddhodana ran forward
and knelt before the hermit.
Asita leaned over. “Do you really want a blessing?” The boy felt
confused. “T ell me truthfully.”Suddhodana had received many blessings in his short lifetime; the
Brahmins were summoned if the heir apparent had so much as a runny
nose. “Y es, I want your blessing,” he said automatically.
Asita gazed at him. “No, you want to kill. And conquer.” The boy tried
to protest, but Asita cut him short. “I am only telling you what I see. Y ou
don’t need a blessing to destroy.” As he said these words, the hermit held
his hand over the boy’ s head, as if administering what had been asked for.
He nodded toward the old king, who stood some distance away out of
earshot.
“Take death’ s blessing,” Asita said. “It’ s the one you deserve, and it will
serve you well in the future. Go.”
Bewildered but not of fended, the boy got to his feet and ran back to his
father, who seemed satisfied. But as time unfolded, the boy came to see that
his father was a weak king, vassal to rulers around him who dominated with
stronger will and greater armies. He came to be ashamed of this fact, and
although he never quite knew what Asita meant by death’ s blessing,
Suddhodana did not object when his own nature turned out to be fierce and
ambitious.
“You honor us.” Suddhodana dropped to his knees as Asita approached.
The hermit looked older now, but not three decades older, the time since
they had last met. Asita ignored the king and walked directly to the cradle.
He glanced down, then he turned to face the jyotishis.
“The chart.” Asita waited until the scroll of sheepskin was passed to
him. He gazed at it for a moment.
“A great king. A great king.” Asita repeated the words in a flat,
emotionless voice. “He will never be.”
Tense silence.
Asita replied, “What do I care about thrones?” He might have been
indifferent to the king, but Asita could not take his eyes away from the
baby.“Without a doubt there is a great ruler in his chart,” the eldest jyotishi
insisted.
“Do you not see that?” Suddhodana asked anxiously.
But the hermit acted strangely. Without replying, he knelt before the
baby with his head bowed. Siddhartha, who had been quiet up to now, took
an interest in this new person; he kicked his feet, and one of them brushed
the top of Asita’ s head. Suddenly tears began to roll down Asita’ s cheeks.
Suddhodana bent down to lift him to his feet. The revered ascetic allowed
this gesture, which under normal circumstances would have been a serious
affront to a holy man.
“What did you ask?” he said, seeming like a withered old man at that
moment.

enerates while we sleep. But if the molars are not comfortably touching, as
in figure
b
, then side effects such as night time tooth grinding or clenching can occur. As the teeth
clench at night, if they are in positions
b
or
c
they can easily become worn down and overly stressed
since the molars are not comfortably supporting the mouth. This is exactly why teeth become infected
and eroded. This situation can also be associated with snoring and loss of fully restful sleep.
What also happens in the condition illustrated by figure
b
 is the body’s sensory nervous system
receives messages through the trigeminal nerve to the brain that the jaw is not relaxed. The body then
tries to make the molars contact one another to find the relaxed and natural position. Yet in order for
the body to find a natural biting position and for the molars to touch as they were designed to, the jaw
must hinge backwards and upwards as shown in figure
c.
 Since the body seeks relaxation, and since
chewing and eating require the front teeth to avoid colliding while the molars grind food, what
happens is that the jaw must hinge in a forced manner to compensate. While the jaw joint is capableof sliding forward and backward, it is not supposed to slide backward all the time. In figure
c
 you see
the final
closed bite
 position; the molars are touching now, but the jaw is jammed backwards. At the
same time, the front teeth may be contacting each other wrongly and wearing down. Over time, the
hinging of the jaw in the unnatural position overly strains the thin friction disk in the
temporomandibular joint, and there is pain, popping, and cracking on the light end of the symptom
scale. The worst thing about this common condition is that the body rarely or never is able to
completely relax, heal and regenerate. Instead there is a constant experience of tension.
Electro-Magnetic Fields (EMF) and Cavities
Some people experience tooth pain when exposed to electro-magnetic fields such as from a television
or a computer monitor. The connection between our nervous system and our teeth could explain why
this happens.
Root Canals, Tooth Infections and Your Bite
A significant proportion of tooth infections have at their source a usually unrecognized component of
bite dysfunction. Nighttime clenching and daytime stress from the molars not comfortably touching
cause strain on specific teeth depending on how the jaw is misaligned. Nighttime clenching is also
one of the main causes of abfractions—gum line ridges and sensitivity of teeth caused by relentless
stresses from the jaw pressures that wear them down.
When the jaw cannot comfortably close as in figures
b
and
 c
then certain teeth can become severely
worn or traumatized. The body has a hard time healing those specific teeth because they are
constantly being bruised, and these are the exact teeth that become painful and infected. A poor bite is
one of the main reasons why people develop tooth infections.
The “Feel Good” Substance P
Neuropeptides are a type of molecule our nervous system uses to communicate.
Substance P
 is a
neuropeptide that stimulates inflammation and also functions in the transmission of pain signals within
the nervous system. So when you have a toothache, there is a marked increase in substance P. If you
have an injury in your body, amounts of substance P increase near the injury site. After substance P is
released from your nerves it lingers in your body for a while.
5
The trigeminal nerve has such a high density of pain fibers that it can have a dramatic effect on the
substance P levels in your body. Substance P is actually good for us. It stimulates cell growth and
promotes wound healing.
6
 But when someone’s bite is out of alignment such as shown in figure
c
 then
the trigeminal nerve which is laced throughout the mandible (jaw) releases pain signals through
substance P in large amounts. Perhaps this happens because the body correlates the jaw misalignment
with a physical injury. The constant release of substance P from the trigeminal nerve over time causes
our sensory system to become over stimulated or hyperactive. This then substantially reduces our
body’s ability to send substance P to the parts of our body that require healing and regeneration.
Therefore when our bite is out of alignment we heal more slowly. Too much substance P in the system
leads to a burned out nervous system. It can cause hyperactivity in children. Excess substance P frombite imbalances leads to hypersensitivity to touch, smells, light, and loud noises as well as to general
irritability.
7
 Disease conditions that respond well to jaw alignment include fibromyalgia, irritable
bowel syndrome, autism, asthma, and all of the autoimmune disorders.
When your jaw is relaxed, then substance P is not being overly released because your jaw is aligned.
Substance P then can do its job to help heal and regenerate all the parts of your body. A relaxed jaw
from a correct bite makes your body relaxed and your body rejuvenates itself. A relaxed bite keeps us
youthful, helps us heal well, and have strength and energy when we need it. This is the power of your
bite.
Your Bite and Your Vitality
The excess of substance P released from a bad bite in part explains why neurological and physical
function usually improve dramatically when the jaw is in the relaxed and neutral position as seen in
figure
a.
Mouth guards that improve the strength and vitality of athletes move the jaw into a more
biologically correct position. The body senses through the trigeminal nerve that everything is in
alignment, the nervous system relaxes, and the body functions more optimally.
8
 As a result, strength,
endurance, and reaction times increase. There are early studies that indicate that jaw clenching and
chewing have an anti-stress effect and are stress coping mechanisms, provided the bite is correct.
9
How TMJ and Bite Affect Cavities, Tooth Infections and Toothaches
When your bite is out of alignment, your body receives pain signals via substance P. A misaligned
bite affects cavities and tooth pain in three ways. First, the nervous system of the jaw is hyper
stimulated which inhibits the natural healing response of the body to mend damaged teeth. Second,
when the bite is out of balance, specific teeth become overly stressed from the mechanical forces of
the jaw. Third, with a bad bite, the trigeminal nerve becomes hypersensitive. With these conditions a
toothache will hurt much more than it normally should. What this means for you is that if you have a
tooth ache, or tooth infection, then any types of body therapy you can do to relax the stresses on your
nervous system, particularly the trigeminal nerve, can dramatically impact the health of your teeth.
Perhaps half or more of tooth infections and tooth pain can be healed simply by helping the jaw relax
and by moving the bite into a more correct position.
Profound Effects of TMJ Dysfunction and a Bad Bite
TMJ dysfunction (TMD) can present symptoms such as pain behind eyes, difficulty opening and
closing the mouth, ringing in ears, tooth grinding, over clenching, worn teeth, headaches and even
vision problems. If the jaw is allowed to hinge normally and does not need to be forced into the

 then the TMD symptoms can resolve if the joint is not
excessively damaged. The method of resolution of TMD is usually some type of dental appliance
which helps the jaw function correctly.
Pain with TMD is caused by overwork of the nervous and muscular systems as they must function in
an unnatural manner to bring the teeth together for chewing and the natural jaw clenching position.
Over time the muscles fatigue, become strained, and can lead to pain in the jaw, the back of the neck,head and ears.

The hyper stimulated nervous system has some surprising side effects. For example, orthopedic
orthodontist Dr. Brendan Stack believes that the basis of most of the symptoms of Tourette's syndrome
is essentially a misalignment of the mandible to the base of the skull. By correcting the position of the
jaw with a dental appliance, the eye blinking, eyelid tics, mouth tics, head nodding, shoulder
shrugging and head tremors disappear. Dr. Stack has videos on his website that appear to depict
miracles. Yet the amazing recoveries are based on a correct understanding of how the jaw and cranial
system were meant to function. You can see immobilized people walking again within minutes at

Many diseases, particularly neurological diseases like autism, have a significant symptom component
in that the bite of the afflicted individual is severely compromised. Symptoms of a severely
misaligned bite are a crooked face, improper facial growth, the mouth hanging open, tongue sticking
out, and a very poor posture. Not all bite misalignments are that obvious. An imbalance of as little as
1/8 of an inch can cause malocclusion and health problems.
11
 Treating and resolving diseases that
have nervous system components can require a therapeutic correction of the bite. Unfortunately the
connection between neurological diseases and the bite is often completely overlooked.Orthodontics
Now we will learn why braces are generally unnecessary and in fact harmful. First, two definitions:

Dimethyl Sulfoxide
(DMSO) in Trauma
and Disease
STANLEY W. JACOB
JACK C. DE LA TORRE
JACOB • DE LA TORRE
CHEMISTRY
First isolated as a chemical compound by a Russian chemist in 1866,
dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) proved to be a near-perfect solvent for
decades before its remarkable biological and medical activities were
discovered. DMSO is one of the most prodigious agents ever to come
out of the world of drug development. Its wide range of biological actions
involving plants, animals, and humans has led to the publication of tens
of thousands of articles in the scientific literature.
Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease examines the major
clinical uses of DMSO in humans as supported by basic evidence derived from experiments in animals, including its effects in disorders such as osteoarthritis, interstitial cystitis, gastrointestinal inflammatory changes, scleroderma, respiratory distress, myasthenia gravis, cardiac disease, traumatic brain injury, and Alzheimer’s disease.
The effects of DMSO on pain, cancer, stroke, and spinal cord injury are
also discussed. The book explores how its chemical structure is able
to react and deactivate toxic molecules generated by DNA damage, free radical formation, inflammation, oxidation, and infection. For the first time, the collective data on the biological, chemical, and medical actions of DMSO are presented and analyzed from the published scientific literature.
Clearly written, the book incorporates easy-to-understand scientific
descriptions that appeal both to health care professionals and the
millions of people worldwide who have used DMSO for an assortment of
ailments as a prescriptive or off-label medication.Dimethyl Sulfoxide

"INCURABLE" DISEASE & ELECTROMEDICINE
by Michael Forrest
Since the beginnings of time, disease has been one of humanity's greatest scourges. Although science has
made progress with the creation of vaccines and antibiotics, we still have many untreatable diseases, some of which are due to new strains of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Some of these are responsible for Tuberculosis, Cholera, Pneumonia, Meningitis, Scarlet fever, Strep throat, and untreatable infections of the ears, skin, and blood. On top of that we have many incurable viral diseases, including AIDS, Ebola, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Herpes, Hepatitis A and B, some cancers, and killer flus. Science is still looking for a magic bullet, but unfortunately not in the arena of electromedicine. That's because electromedicine was "discredited" back in 1910 by the Flexnor Report, which was subsidized by John Rockefeller (who had just purchased stock in pharmaceutical companies.)
Despite this major setback, a great step was taken in the war against viruses and bacteria when doctors
William Lyman and Steven Kaali made an astonishing announcement on March 14th of 1991 at the First International Symposium on Combination Therapies. Lyman and Kaali, researchers from the AlbertEinstein School of Medicine, reported that a small amount of electric current, flowing through a dish of fluid containing the HIV virus, The electric current used wasvery small, (only 50-100 microamperes) which is safe for blood cells but harmful to viruses and other pathogens.
The announcement of this electromedicine was reported in Science News, Longevity Magazine, and the
Houston Post. Unfortunately, further media coverage of this breakthrough was suppressed. Dr. Kaali & Peter Schwolsky created patent #5188738, which describes two blood electrification methods as being able to: "provide electric current flow through the blood sufficient to render the bacteria, virus, parasites and/or fungus ineffective to infect or affect normally healthy cells while maintaining the biological usefulness of the blood or other fluids." Their electromedicine patent described blood treatment which involved extracting the blood, treating it with electricity, and reinjecting it back into the body. Also another method was described which required


 to it. in the first week he does not eat only
half days next week - day, then - 1,5 days. So
gradually comes to what may be waived entirely from food,
only occasionally feeding the water. Degradation of the digestive
bodies took place over a long period, and physical
body is transformed by the currently existing power system.
Our task - to make the body think that it laid
since ancient times.
- As far as I understood you were not completely refuse to eat.
within two years you'll still eat one every four days, although the diet
and was only 100 grams of food... Why?
- The fact that passing is completely powered through the skin,
person acquires unusual properties. He is not just
worsening eyesight and hearing, he begins to hear the thoughts,
fulfilled his desire, even involuntary. You must be a
very well prepared for such opportunities, since, being
among people can be a lot of mangled wood. Therefore, going first
to a complete rejection of food, I decided to go back and limited to 100 -
93
93gram food every four days.
Incidentally, a leading Indian neuroscientist Sudr Shah, who oversaw
the health of the starving engineer Manek, does not exclude
that during this adaptation of the organism is stimulated by the frontal
lobe, which apparently is responsible for the psychic
activity. In this case, all other parts of the brain, including
hypothalamus, pituitary, medulla, did not undergo any
any changes.
- How can we explain that sunlight brings all
necessary for the active substance of human existence?
- Sunlight and light of distant stars by itself is a system of
pair of elementary particles (para-positronium and ortho).
These particles can enter into resonance with the particles of the body's cells
and form all the chemical elements necessary for nutrition
rights. That is, 'factory' exists in man himself, in cells
his skin.
In general, in the universe there is one kind of food. This
redistribution of matter or energy. All systems have
higher energy, absorb the system with low energy
and thereby increase their mass and energy. And people. Or
it absorbs energy and evolves, or loses it and dies.
Is a natural selection and survival of the fittest. Man
Like all living and nonliving systems around us, can
develop only with food. No weight gain or
Energy can be no development systems.
- Most people tend to reduce their weight. But
to actively live, need energy, which is directly connected
with body weight...
- Man, like any living system of the universe is
universal system, which at certain moments can
be closed or open. Indeed, no increase in energy
Any system will sooner or later fall apart. Therefore, the application
different methods of question should be not to reduce weight
man, and a decrease in the volume of his physical body (at
maintaining weight and energy, respectively). Therefore, we solntseedy,
do not look like undernourished people. Sharp drop your weight - it is
means to throw his energy. The human body should not be
loose and tight, as the body of a young child.
- If you change the diet is unbalancing
internal systems of rights, not whether this will lead to disease? this
Camilla added that a few months ago went
to relatives in Poland. There, on the occasion of her visit was covered
magnificent table. When she said she does not eat anything, then it certainly
not believed and were blamed for the abandonment of food, which was prepared
especially for her. in the end, she had little to eat, but
sensation when it was as though the food is somehow disappeared
her mouth.
94
94Whatever it was, an example solntseedov living not in some
other mythical world, and next to us, shows that a person
does not need food! Anyway, do not want it rough, the material
variety. Solntseedy say that in plant foods and food
animal contained a secondary solar energy,
Here are some of the energy and feeds on the common man, whether he is simply
eater or discerning palate. Solntseedy well fed, they
approval, this same energy directly from the source.
But recent studies have shown the most advanced solntseedov,
that and look at the sun or stars is optional. Since
they eat prana, which pervades not only our star,
and literally everything in our universe. That is, the existence of this energy
does not depend on our point of finding time and space.
Energy Food is everywhere, and our entire universe is in connection
with this important fact is one
huge banquet table piled high with the best quality
and the best food he ever you can think
imagine.
Prana never impossible to overeat, it should not prepare
and spend time on mastering and rumination. No need to go
in the latrine at the end of assimilation of prana to evacuate its
surplus. And, most importantly, by making such a meal has no side
effects and can not overeat. Organism itself, without cluttering your
consciousness of unnecessary detail, learns of this food so much,
as he needs.
And perhaps the next step in the history of human development
and human settlement requires them all the boundless
Space view of the substantial increase
biological adaptability of the individual, his
ability to adapt to the most modern look incredible
conditions. For example, in the vacuum of space where the temperature
during the day varies with the amplitude of a hundred degrees on Venus, where
raging almost chetyrehsotgradusnye winds or in the open space
at - 273 degrees. and even the Sun and stars, perhaps people
near future be able to live.
Limitless human potential and boundless
The universe. Perhaps, for now, seemingly lifeless
and meaningless, Space and created what would there lived a man, and
not only to admire the stars and try to conquer
near-Earth space with the help of primitive flying
vehicles. The Future of Man, with its infinite potential,
Energy for Man. Yet, as it turned out, man
divine and it is best confirmed by the example solntseedov.
in the world today there are tens of thousands
people of the new, energy formation, and, judging by the ever-increasing
their number is only the beginning of a new direction in the evolution of
rights.

MEDICAL Starvation
From classic starvation and other forms of dry starvation
different drinking schedule. It is completely absent, ie, we
stop not only exists, but to drink. This kind of fasting at all
prevents the ingress of water, not only inside but also to any body part.
Complete abandonment of the water for a specified period. Sometimes allowed
take a shower, bathe in the river and under waterfalls and pour
cold water.
Hidden reserves ORGANIZATIONS ZMA
Experiments and clinical observations confirmed the presence of
in the body of huge hidden reserves - the forces that
can repeatedly cover the resulting negative
for an organism living conditions. This happens for
by the fact that the rebuilt structure, which carry
biochemical processes at the intracellular level, change
properties of cell organelles. Hence, altered metabolism
whole cell as a whole.
So, when the body is faced with changing conditions
environment, previous biological structures begin
intensively destroyed and replaced with new ones. These new structures
have certain differences to adapt
arisen to extreme conditions. And the changes are
so significant that they may be called simply wonderful.
For example, conducted an experiment on animals. Animals
gradually accustomed to the effect of adverse factors:
high temperatures (42-43 ° C), reducing oxygen in the inspired
air hunger. In order for adaptation has occurred, it is necessary
that the impact was regular, but strictly metered,
short-lived. as a result of resistance to such
effects of increases in several dozen (!) times.
But on several points related to human adaptation,
We would like to tell us more.
Training and myocardial oxygen starvation
What is a heart attack, knows probably all. "My heart could not stand"
- Say ordinary people have no medical training.
But what does this mean? What physiological processes lead
to a heart attack?
Myocardial infarction (heart muscle) arises from
death of heart muscle cells in low
admission to them of oxygen. Compressed vessels of the heart against
emotional outburst - the heart muscle receives less blood
and, hence, less oxygen, heart cells can not survive,
they die. Heart can not function properly - a person
96
96heart attack.
Although myocardial infarction and extremely dangerous disease, but
Yet doctors are successfully coping with the disaster, particularly
if you recognize the disease in time and immediately seek medical
help. What to do then, when the main danger has passed?
How to protect yourself from another heart attack?
A simple question and, more importantly, it is very important because the risk of
reinfarction increased many times over.
For a long time, doctors thought that the main thing - to provide cardiac
muscle comfort, to prevent lack of oxygen
(Hypoxia). Hence the recommendation - more visit the open
air, to avoid unrest and physical activity. Appointed
and appropriate treatment - drugs that enhance coronary
vessels. But all these efforts have not met expectations. Human
can not be put under a glass dome, life throws up
surprises, and the number of repeat heart attacks continued to grow.

Habitat & Cultivation
Native to the Molucca Islands of
Indonesia, nutmeg trees are now
widely cultivated. They are propagated
from seed, sown when ripe. The
tree yields fruit after about 8 years,
and can continue to fruit for over
60 years. The fruit is picked when
ripe and the nutmeg and mace are
separated and dried.

essential oil has an anesthetic and
stimulating effect on the stomach
and intestines, increasing appetite
and reducing nausea, vomiting, and
diarrhea. It is a helpful remedy for
many digestive problems, especially
gastroenteritis.
■ Sleep aid Though nutmeg is
a stimulant, it has narcotic and
anticonvulsant properties and
can be successfully used at low
dose (a pinch of powder will do)
as a sleep aid for short- or long-term
sleep problems. Laboratory studies
also indicate that nutmeg has
antidepressant activity.
■  Aphrodisiac  In India, nutmeg
has a long reputation as an
aphrodisiac. It is believed to
increase sexual stamina.
■ External uses  Ointments based
on the fixed oil (nutmeg butter) are
used to treat rheumatic conditions.
They have a counterirritant effect,
stimulating blood flow to the area.
In India, nutmeg is ground into a
paste and applied directly to areas
of eczema and ringworm.
■ Safety  Low medicinal doses and
culinary amounts of nutmeg and mace
are safe. In excess, however, the herbs
are strongly stimulant, hallucinogenic,
and toxic. The consumption of just
two whole nutmegs has been known
to cause death. Nutmeg tree

Herbal remedies for H ome useRespiratory Tract Problems
The respiratory system stretches from the lining of the eyes
and sinuses to the base of the lungs, and is constantly exposed to dust, dirt, and organisms in the air. It is no surprise that in our ever more polluted world we often face problems such as sinus congestion and asthma. Herbal remedies aim to protect the linings of the eyes, ears, sinuses, nose, and throat, as well as the respiratory “tree” of the lungs by countering infection,
clearing congestion, soothing the mucous membranes, and relieving inflammation or allergy.
Coughs & Bronchitis
Nosebleeds
Eye ProblemsThyme
(Thymus vulgaris)
The act of coughing is usually a reaction to irritant
particles in the bronchial tubes. It is worthwhile to consider the type of cough you have and where it is centered. Herbal remedies can then
be chosen to work effectively to clear or ease the cough. Productive, chest coughs may produce white, yellow, or green phlegm. Unproductive coughs are dry and irritant
and often take a long time to clear.Bronchitis occurs when the lining of the lungs’ airways becomes inflamed, resulting in a chest cough, possible breathlessness, and a raised temperature. Use both an external and an internal remedy.Herbs Thyme is an effective antiseptic for
the whole system. Licorice acts as a soothing expectorant for persistent coughs and makes any remedy more palatable. T ake plenty of garlic to fight bronchitis.
 QGeneral caution Seek professional advice if a cough
lasts for more than 1 week without a cold or infection.
Many herbs are reputed to stop nosebleeds,
and most are effective. Using an herb as snuff is a traditional way of staunching a nosebleed.
 QCaution If the nosebleed continues for some hours
or is very heavy, seek immediate professional advice.
Rather than treating the eyes themselves, these
remedies benefit the mucous tissue lining the eyes, which is contiguous with the nose and throat. Problems affecting the linings of the eyes often respond well to local treatment with herbal remedies, but care must be taken not to irritate the eyes with particles of herbs left in the lotion.General Remedies

US_310-313_Respiratory_Tract_Problems.indd   310 26/02/16   4:43 pm311 Herbal remedies for Home useColds, Flu, & Fevers
Sore Throats & T onsillitis  The common cold, with which most of us are
only too familiar, is a viral infection normally
affecting the nose and throat. Flu is considerably
more debilitating and may include fever, headache,
muscular pain, nausea, and vomiting. Both have a
habit of striking when we are stressed or run
down. Herbal home treatment is especially suitable
for these familiar “self-limiting” ailments since it
enables us to make life more comfortable, control
fever, and improve the body’s recovery rate.
Garlic, ginger, and lemon  combine to
create the classic flu remedy that can also be
used to relieve colds, sore throats, and tonsillitis.
Ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and cayenne
have heating properties and stimulate sweating.
This helps to lower the body’s temperature
during fever.
Elderberry and yarrow  are antiviral, stimulate
sweating, and astringe the mucous membranes
of the nose and throat, reducing the production
of mucus.
Boneset and cayenne  are particularly helpful
for respiratory infections.
Wormwood and gentian  are bitter herbs
that cool the body and combat high fever.
Diet
For all these problems, eat lightly. Fruit and
vegetables are best, the latter perhaps in a
soup. Avoid greasy, fatty, sugar-rich food and
dairy products.
Self-help
Reduce fever and temperature by washing with
cool or cold water and drinking plenty of liquid,
especially when sweating.
 QGeneral cautions Remember that in the very
young and very old, even a common cold can develop
into pneumonia. Always seek professional advice if
symptoms persist or suddenly get worse.
The garlic, ginger, and lemon mixture listed
under General Remedies for Colds, Flu, & Fevers
(see above) can alleviate the symptoms of both
sore throats and tonsillitis. The brave can slowly

 had a little of each. Then
there are the mashed potatoes and yams. You had some of those. And the
stuffing! Of course, you had to have the stuffing, with gravy. And those
biscuits, and pumpkin pie. And a token vegetable on the side that nobody
touches. You know what I'm talking about? I'm not suggesting that you
not participate in Thanksgiving. But the reason the body is totally ex
hausted after a meal like that is that there are so many different, concen
trated, incompatible foods in the stomach at one time, the system is
thrown into turmoil. Doing this once in a while, the body has a chance
to deal with the situation. On a regular basis, however, the body breaks
down. After nourishing the body, especially at a celebration, we should
feel vibrant and ready to conquer the world. Instead, we're barely able to
conquer the couch.
Do you remember the lion that we were talking about before, that took
down the zebra? When that lion ate the zebra, it wasn't having baked
potato with it. It's strictly a la carte out there in the jungle. The animals
in nature experience a much higher level of health than we do; not only
eating high-water-content food, they are also properly combining their
food. Animals in nature don't combine their foods improperly. That is the
beauty of it. They eat one food at a time. Not like us. We eat anything
we can get our hands on, including them!
Here's something that may surprise you: Henry Ford was also a propo
nent of food combining. In an article from Early American Life, David
L. Lewis discusses the "Wayside Inn," a vocational school set up by Ford
THE PRINCIPLE OF PROPER FOOD COMBINING • 45 in 1928 to "teach boys how to work with their hands and how to think."
Underprivileged boys between the ages of twelve and seventeen were en
rolled in the ninth through twelfth grades. They received training in agri
culture, electrical and automotive engineering, plumbing, carpentry, and
other vocations as well as academic subjects. "Along with a Ford-fi
nanced education, the students had to suffer Ford's theory on diet. Sugar,
candy, cakes, pies, puddings, and other kinds of sweet desserts were for
bidden, as well as tea, cocoa, and table salts, STARCHES AND PROTEINS
WERE NEVER MIXED BECAUSE THEY WERE CONSIDERED TO BE CHEM
ICALLY INCOMPATIBLE [emphasis mine], while vegetable salads were
served twice a day." All right, Henry! He wasn't about to feed them ill-
combined meals; they wouldn't have any energy left for work!
It is essential that we start to respect our digestive limitations. We need
to free up energy to get toxic waste out of our bodies. The digestive tract
uses more energy than any other function of the body. Food combining
frees up that energy so your body can work to detoxify itself. And the
beautiful thing is you don't have to go hungry. How would you like to be
ten pounds lighter ten days from now, while eating? Well, of course,
anyone who is overweight would like to do that. Just by making use of
your new understanding of proper food combining, it is possible for you
to achieve that. Food combining works! This is not something that you
have to take my word for. All you have to do is start to combine your
foods the way I have described, and you will know exactly whether or not
this information is true. That, after all, is what really counts, isn't it?
Does it work? Whether it is proved or not proved means nothing. If you
can dramatically increase your energy, do away with stomach ailments,
lose weight, and feel good by properly combining, would it matter to you
if it was "proved" not to work? Of course not. Don't believe me. Try it!
Proper food combining simply creates the environment for weight loss.
If you can eat food and have it go through your stomach in three hours
instead of eight, there are five hours of energy right there that you have
picked up—five hours to be put toward detoxification and weight loss.
And you're going to pick up more energy as that food goes through the
intestines with great ease.
Some people have said to me, "This makes pretty much sense, I have
to admit, but I'm a businessman, I go out for lunch every day, so I can't
do this." Why not? You can adhere to this principle in any restaurant
you wish. Any good restaurant will allow you to order what you want.
You are the customer. You are paying. You can have what you want.
You can go in with your business associates and say, "What is today's
special?"
"Today we have fresh trout, absolutely fantastic."
46 • FIT FOR LIFE "Wonderful! I'll have the trout, and instead of the rice that comes with
the trout, what vegetables do you have this afternoon?"
"Well, we have fresh asparagus and cauliflower."
"Fantastic! I'll have the trout and vegetables, and would you please
bring me a salad with that?"
You're going to be able to participate in ordering and eat your lunch,
and your business associates are not going to say, "Hey, how come you're
not eating the rice?" No one's going to say anything. The beautiful thing
is that when you and your business associates stand up, you are going to
feel light and be able to finish the rest of your day with abundant energy,
and your business associates are going to have stomachs full of rotting
food that will hold them back. They'll feel tired and will have to pick
themselves up with coffee or some other toxic, addictive stimulant.
What's so fantastic about proper food combining is that it dramatically
improves your level of energy and at the same time it frees up everything
necessary within the body to rid itself of the excess toxic waste that is
keeping you heavy.
I know it sounds simple, and the marvelous thing about this method is
that it is simple! You just make little changes. If it took you twenty, or
thirty, or forty years to build up the problem, you have plenty of time to
turn it around, but the important thing is you have to start. I get excited
and carried away each time I discuss this subject, because 1 know how
simple and obvious this information is. I have seen it work with thou
sands of people, and I know that thousands of other people, including
you, can start to experience this wonderful feeling of control, of knowing
how to have a trim body, and then doing what is necessary to make that
body appear. It's within your grasp—yours for the asking.
By the way, the people of the United States spend some thirty billion
dollars on drugs every year. They swallow twenty-five million pills every
hour! Do you know what the number-one-selling prescription drug in the
United States is? It used to be Valium. According to the Wall Street
Journal, it is now Tagamet. And what is Tagamet for? Stomach disorders'.
Could that possibly have anything to do with what people's stomachs are
forced to deal with every day?
As you start to experiment with the proper combinations of food, you
will come to realize firsthand what a truly marvelous tool proper food
combining is in the quest to lose weight.
This brings us now to the third tool designed to remove toxic waste
from your body. It is the one I enjoy discussing more than any other,
since it revolves around...
THE PRINCIPLE OF PROPER FOOD COMBINING • 47 CHAPTER
The Principle of
Correct Fruit Consumption
An the broad subject of health there
is surely no area that has been more misunderstood, more unjustly ma
ligned, or more abused than the consumption of fruit. People do not
know how to eat fruit in this country. I don't mean that they don't know
how to pick it up and eat it; they have that down pat. I mean that they
don't know when or how to eat it. The correct consumption of fruit is
very closely associated with proper food combining.
How many people do you know who truly detest fruit? Who really
can't stand it? Probably none. Most of the people you will ever talk to will
readily express their fondness of fruit. About the most negative comment
you will ever hear about fruit is "I love it, but it doesn't love me." Or "I
love it, but I can't eat it." Why they can't eat it and why they have to be
careful with it is more often than not based on some misunderstanding
about the nature of correct fruit consumption.
At every seminar I have ever given, I ask for a show of hands from
those who dislike fruit, and rarely, even in groups of seven hundred peo
ple or more, does even one hand go up. The reason almost everyone
expresses a liking for fruit is that our bodies crave it instinctively. With its
sweet blends of rare flavors, delightful aromas, and eye-pleasing colors,
• 48 • fruit is always an invitation to pleasure in eating. Fruit is, without doubt,
the most beneficial, energy-giving

an object.
The more dimensions an object has, the  more substantial and  real it be -

shape, mass and  substance by the  addition of dimensions. What new

lines? Time  is a medium for changes in experience, for all changes take
time.
The new quality is changeability. Observe  that, if we  bisect a  solid, its
cross section will be  a surface; by bisecting  a surface,  we obtain a line,
and by bisecting  a line, we  get a point. This means that a  point is but a

them, not in the  order in which they were  experienced  by you, but as a
present whole. Because  CHANGE  is the characteristic  of the  fourth dimen -
sion, I should  see them in a  state of flux as a living, animated  whole.
Now, if we have  all this clearly fixed  in our minds, what does it mean to
us in this three dimensional world? It means that, if we  can move along
times length, we  can see the  future  and alter it if we so desire.
This world, which we think  so solidly real, is a  shadow  out of which and
beyond  which we  may at any time  pass. It is an abstraction from a more
fundamental and  dimensionally larger  world  a more fundamental world
abstracted  from a  still more  fundamental and  dimensionally larger  world
and so on to infinity. For the  absolute  is unattainable  by any  means or
analysis, no matter  how many dimensions we  add to the  world.
Man can prove  the existence of a  dimensionally larger  world  by simply fo -
cusing  his attention on an invisible  state and imagining  that he  sees and
feels it. If he  remains concentrated  in this state,  his present environment
will pass away, and  he will awaken in a  dimensionally larger world where
the object of his contemplation will be  seen as a  concrete  objective  reali-
ty.
I feel intuitively that, were  he to abstract his thoughts from this dimen -
sionally larger world  and retreat still farther  within his mind, he would
again bring  about an externalization of time. He would  discover  that, ev -
ery time  he retreats into his inner  mind and brings about an externaliza -
tion of time,  space  becomes dimensionally larger. And  he would  therefore
conclude  that both time  and space  are serial, and  that the  drama  of life  is
but the  climbing  of a multitudinous dimensional time  block.
Scientists will one  day explain WHY  there  is a Serial Universe. But in prac -
tice HOW we  use this Serial Universe  to change  the future  is more  impor -
tant. To change  the future, we need  only concern ourselves with two

organs, and  the world  we perceive  independently of our bodily organs.
I have  stated  that man has at every moment of time  the choice before
him which of several  futures he  will have.  But the  question arises:  "How  is
this possible  when the  experiences of man, awake in the  three dimension -
al world, are  predetermined?" as his observation of an  event before  it oc-
curs implies.
This ability to change  the future  will be  seen if we  liken the  experiences of
life on earth to this printed  page. Man experiences events on earth singly
and successively in the  same  way that you  are now experiencing the
words of this page.
Imagine  that every word  on this page represents a  single  sensory impres -
sion. To get the  context, to understand  my meaning, you  focus your vision
on the  first word  in the  upper  left hand  corner  and then move  your focus
across the  page from left to right, letting  it fall  on the  words singly and
successively. By the  time your eyes reach the  last word  on this page you
have extracted  my meaning.
But suppose  on looking  at the  page, with all the  printed  words thereon
equally present, you  decided  to rearrange  them. You  could, by rearrang -
ing them, tell an entirely different story, in fact you  could  tell many differ -
ent stories.
A dream is nothing  more than uncontrolled  four dimensional thinking, or
the rearrangement of both past and  future  sensory impressions. Man sel -
dom dreams of events in the  order  in which he  experiences them when
awake. He  usually dreams of two or more  events which are  separated  in
time fused  into a  single  sensory impression; or else  he so completely re -
arranges his single  waking  sensory impressions that he  does not recog -
nize them when he  encounters them in his waking  state.
For example,  I dreamed  that I delivered  a package  to the  restaurant in
my apartment  building. The  hostess said  to me,  "You can't leave  that
there," whereupon, the  elevator operator gave  me a few letters and  as I
thanked  him for them he, in turn, thanked  me. At this point, the  night el -
evator operator appeared  and waved  a greeting  to me.
The following  day, as I left my apartment, I picked  up a few letters  which
had been placed  at my door. On my way down I gave  the day elevator op -
erator a  tip and thanked  him for taking  care of my mail, whereupon, he
thanked  me for the  tip.
On my return home  that day I overheard  a doorman say to a  delivery
man, "You  can't leave  that there." As I was about to take the  elevator up
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havento my apartment, I was attracted  by a familiar  face in the  restaurant, and
as I looked  in the  hostess greeted  me with a  smile. That night I escorted
my dinner  guests to the  elevator and  as I said  goodbye to them, the  night
operator waved  goodnight to  me.
By simply rearranging  a few of the  single  sensory impressions I was des -
tined to encounter, and  by fusing  two or more  of them into single  sensory
impressions, I constructed  a dream   which differed  quite a bit from my
waking  experience.
When we have  learned  to control the  movements of our attention in the
fourth dimensional  world, we shall be  able to consciously create  circum -
stances in the  three dimensional  world. We  learn this control through the
waking  dream, where  our attention can be maintained  without effort, for
attention minus effort is indispensable  to changing  the  future. We  can, in
a controlled  waking  dream, consciously construct an event which we de -
sire to experience in the  three  dimensional world.
The sensory impressions we  use to construct our waking  dream are
present realities displaced  in time  or the  fourth dimensional world. All that
we do in constructing  the waking   dream is to select from the  vast array
of sensory impressions those, which, when they are  properly arranged,
imply that we  have realized  our desire.
With the  dream clearly defined  we relax in a  chair and  induce a  state of
consciousness akin  to sleep. A state  which, although bordering  on sleep,
leaves us in conscious control of the movements of our attention. Then we
experience in imagination what we  would  experience in reality were  this
