, eat a proper diet richin calcium, phosphorus, and the fat-soluble vitamins, and avoid overly processed nutrient-devoid
foods. Synthetically derived fluoride cannot replace or reproduce the total harmony of Nature's
design.
I do not recommend that you drink fluoridated water or use fluoridated toothpaste. Do not submit to
dental treatments that contain fluoride. Because of fluoride’s damaging effects on the glandular
system, it is possible to get weak enamel from fluoride, so check with your local water board to find
out if your water supply is fluoridated. If it is, then you need to purchase a special fluoride filter or
have fluoride free water delivered to you.
Placing fluoride in toothpaste and into our water supply is a crime. It is unethical because fluoride
has never been proven safe and effective. In fact, the opposite has been proven to be true. I urge you
to support efforts to eradicate fluoride use in the United States. Please visit the Fluoride Action
Network,

Tooth Decay is Not an Infectious Disease
I have shown how it is now scientifically proven that bacteria are not the main cause of cavities by
the life’s work of dentist Ralph Steinman in explaining the dentinal fluid transport mechanism. When
dentist Percy Howe tried to inoculate bacteria into guinea pigs to cause tooth decay or gum disease,
he could not. He could only cause cavities with a change in diet. The bacterial theory of cavities is
justified through the assertion that tooth decay is an infectious disease. This infectious disease theory
is false for several reasons:

1
.
Antibiotics that kill bacteria do not stop tooth decay.
2
.
People do not develop antibodies to tooth decay.
3
.
Antibacterial mouth rinses do not effectively prevent cavities.
4
.
Once you are infected with tooth decay you do not develop immunity to it unless your diet is
dramatically improved.
Bacteria exist symbiotically in our mouths at all times and evolve and change as our health does.
Hence, no antibacterial remedy will ever cure tooth decay.Moving Beyond Painful Dentistry
The truth remains that a significant majority of dental treatments are unnecessary when diet is changed
and teeth remineralize as they are biologically designed to do. The big question that remains
unanswered is why haven’t we been told the truth about our teeth from modern dentistry? Weston
Price's research with indigenous diets was published many decades ago in the
Journal of the
American Dental Association
, so his treatment successes and research findings were widely
available.
In this chapter we have looked at the high price we have paid for modern dentistry. Modern dentistry
is an unequivocal failure. Treatments from conventional dentists are highly toxic and usually disease-
promoting such as fluoride, mercury fillings, leaky root canals and metal tooth fillings. Holistic and
biological dentists offer more natural, less toxic alternatives to modern dentistry. This is a huge
improvement, but few of them offer the real cure, which is found through diet and the balancing of
body chemistry.
I am not trying to destroy the dental profession. The dental profession is destructive, and is destroying
itself. What I ask of the dental profession is for it to change and evolve. The future of dentistry lies in
disease prevention through proper nutrition and body chemistry balancing, along with minimally
invasive methods to correct dental arch problems and bite problems. Imagine being able to find a
cavity before it happens, and then remineralize it with nutritional intervention? We have the ability
and the technology to do this today; we simply lack the desire, care, willingness, and legal framework
to provide this level of treatment to the public. This would be real dentistry: finding and preventing
cavities completely organically before tooth enamel was lost, and before tooth infections occurred.
Dentists could still earn very decent livings by analyzing blood chemistry, examining teeth, offering
nutritional consulting, and repairing bite imbalances non-surgically. As long as a dentist’s income is
tied to performing invasive treatments, where more severe treatments mean greater profit, the current
state of modern dentistry will remain a rotten profession.
Making dentistry work for all of us means changing the rules of the profession. The dentist of the
future will not be focused on performing complex tooth surgery. This will be a specialty field. All a
preventative dentist would need to know is how to check for cavities and how to help people
intervene with their diet using the most modern and scientifically proven methods (such as fermented
cod liver oil) and they will cure a large portion of people’s cavities before they even happen.
Imagine seeing a DPD, a doctor of preventative dentistry, or a DDH, a doctor of dental health, who
would help you keep your teeth healthy and strong naturally with diet, supplements, herbs and
homeopathy.
A large percentage of our population is suffering from poor health, physical stress, and a loss of
vitality from bite disorders. There is a vast and largely untapped market for holistic methods to return
the upper and lower jaw to their harmonious state and bring balance to the facial structures while
healing head, neck and jaw pain. This will make people happier, more relaxed, and more resistant to
disease.
The problem with modern dentistry is that to become a licensed dentist, you must spend most of your
schooling learning how to perform dental surgery. Yet what really matters in this new school of trulyholistic dentistry that I propose in this book is preventing tooth decay and repairing the bite with non-
surgical and holistic methods. Yet these methods are not currently being taught to dentists in dental
school. The training in dental school does not give dentists the foundation needed to be effective
nutrition counselors and efficient bite repairers. Furthermore there needs to be more of an integrative
care model which emphasizes the health of the entire body so that the art and science of dentistry can
complement and work synergistically with all the other health professions.
There is no longer any reason for the population at large to be afflicted with tooth decay (dental
caries). Join me now in voicing an urgent call to change the way we administer oral health in our
country. “Dentistry, we need you to change!”

 like to call your attention to the "non-cancer" aspects of Metabolic Medicine's
concepts such as Dr. Kelley's Self-Test for The Different Metabolic Types. I  consider it
179
Winning The Cancer War
my privilege to encourage you to carefully study this book and expand your horizons
of good health.
Jack O. Taylor, D.C.
Arlington Heights, IL
Dr. Richard Rovin (Naturopathic Doctor)
This book is for those who have a strong belief in the principle that the body can heal
itself and that nutrition is one of the keys to that healing. Nutrition has never before
been approached as systematically and as aggressively as by Dr. Kelley.
I  was originally attracted to the field of Naturopathy because of my belief in our
natural healing forces and it is the same belief that has given me faith in this type of
approach.
Food is more than separate nutritional factors; rather it is a combination of nutrients
that keep our body chemistry balanced and our organs in harmony and functioning
optimally. So taken one step further, it is used not only to prevent disease or
degeneration but, important to many of us, it may be used for regeneration and the
removal of disease.
This new book will show that Dr. Kelley is constantly perfecting his work so it may
help the most difficult cases and shed light on our biochemical individuality. This is
truly the most important key to the development of a successful health program and
this is why this book offers an avant-garde concept for today's health needs.
Doctors from all the professions are searching for the "magic bullet" that will
prevent disease and maintain health. Some expect to find it in a synthetic drug and
others in a particular natural substance, but the search is in vain for we must
appreciate our body's holistic needs and one agent alone cannot satisfy this. This
approach considers nutrients for all the body's systems.
I  anticipate further insights into one's well being and greater health benefits for the
people that follow and use the information in this book. Superior health services are
already available to us. The IHI founded by Dr. Kelley is the first fruit of this research.
Later I  expect these methods of analysis to act as a bridge between the different
professions for the betterment of mankind.
It is a great joy to be part of this advanced system of healing. I  appreciate the honor
Mr. Rohe has afforded me by asking me to share my thoughts. I  believe I  represent my
180

profession when I  say that we are grateful to the past achievements of Dr. Kelley and
cheer on and support future successes.

What is Cancer?
Cancer is a process misunderstood by the medical community. Cancer is
classified by the medical community as a fast-growing malignant tumor, which, if
allowed to grow unchecked, w ill cause death. Many clinicians believe that cancer is
a complex: a number of different diseases, each having its own cause. Most doctors,
even research scientists, suppose such things as viruses, X-rays, cigarette smoking,
chemicals, sunlight, and trauma cause cancer. However there are a growing number
of cancer researchers who believe that these factors, rather than causing cancer, are
indirect stimulators of a normal trophoblast-like pleuripotential cell. This trophoblast-
like cell then makes its "false placenta", a malignant tumor mass, which the medical
community calls cancer.
In the Beginning
In the first five days after fertilization in the formation of a human embryo, the
growing mass of cells divides into two kinds of cells, an inner cell mass
(embryoblasts) which w ill become the embryo, and an outer layer of cells called the
trophoblast, which later forms the placenta. This process is so complex that less than
half of the developing masses ever progress past this stage. Something goes wrong
with normal development and they are expelled from the woman's body before they
can implant themselves in the uterus.
182
Winning The Cancer War
After the cell mass attaches to the wall of the uterus, the trophoblasts invade the
lining of the uterus, growing quickly and invasively, as a tumor does when invading
an organ of a human body. The trophoblast cells invade, digest a hole in the wall of
the uterus and form a multinucleated mass with no cell boundaries, which looks
under the microscope like the cells of a carcinoma. During this invasion of the
trophoblasts into the uterine wall, the pregnant woman may feel nauseous with
"morning sickness" due to the trauma of being assailed by this cancer-like mass. As
small blood vessels are invaded and digested by the invading trophoblast, pools of
blood form in the tissue which nourish the growing mass. The failure of the maternal
tissue to reject this implantation has always puzzled embryologists and
immunologists. One current view is that the trophoblasts cells lack a certain protein
on their surfaces, and thus are not recognized as foreign by the mother's body.
Primary Germ Cells
During the time that the trophoblast cells are aggressively infiltrating the
maternal tissue, the inner cell mass is organizing itself into a three part disc, shaped
like a flying saucer. These three parts of the disc are called the three primary germ
layers, or the ectoderm, the endoderm and the mesoderm. Each of these three layers
becomes a different part of the human body. The ectoderm becomes the skin, the
brain, and the nerves. "Ecto" means surface, and indeed these cells become the
surface covering of the body, and the nerves which are the interface of the body with
the outside world. The endoderm becomes the linings of many organs, such as the
lungs, the intestines, liver, and pancreas. "Endo" means within, and indeed these cells
become almost all of the linings of the body. The mesoderm becomes the muscles,
blood, bone, and the reproductive organs. "Meso" means middle, and these
mesoderm cells, which form as the middle layer of the disc, become the vast majority
of the cells of the body, forming almost all of the different cell types.
This process of organ formation involves extensive migration of certain cells from
the disc to their future sites. The mesoderm cells come from an area on the disc
known as the primitive streak. Under a microscope, a dark streak progresses visibly
along the center of the disc from the tail end to the head end of the disc. This
primitive streak is caused as ectodermal cells drive down into the middle of the disc,
like the filling of a sandwich, becoming mesodermal cells in the process. This
migrating of ectodermal cells becoming mesodermal cells happens very early in
development, between two weeks and three weeks after the trophoblasts begin
invading the uterus of the mother. These migrating cells, which come from the
primitive streak, are pleuripotent. The mesoderm cells are called pleuripotential,
because under different circumstances they are able to follow more than one pathway
of development. In other words, mesoderm cells can potentially form many kinds of
tissue. They are cells which are closest in nature to the unruly aggressive
183
Winning The Cancer War
trophoblastic cells that have formed the placenta.
This broad developmental potential of the pleuripotential cells becomes more
and more restricted and checked as the tissues acquire the specialized control
mechanisms to guide the cells in their development. Increasingly complicated
migrations of cells occur as the body of the new human is forming. For instance in the
ectoderm, neural cells migrate in myriad directions and become specialized neurons.
This regimentation of a cell's capabilities must occur in order to form, for example, a
bone cell as opposed to a muscle cell in the mesoderm. Such regimentation comes
about in response to cues from the immediate surroundings, including the nearby
tissue. The precision and coordination required for correct development is dependent
upon these interactions. Thus, nearby tissues influence development of certain cells,
probably by signals carried by certain protein molecules. Interestingly enough, these
signals must also occur at certain precise times, so that a delay in these signals may
lead to the failure of correct interactions, leading to various kinds of defects. Many of
these defects cause the death of the developing embryo, and some lead to birth
defects.
Direct Cause of Cancer
The intricate and precise orchestration of the formation of a normal human from
the original inner cell mass is a miracle of precision timing and maturation of these
pleuripotential cells. Every normal human contains varying numbers of cells, which
have not completed their correct migrations, thereby leaving "sleeping"
pleuripotential cells scattered throughout the body. When these pleuripotential cells
are activated through genetic, environmental or nutritional factors, a tumor cell

by W alter Last
Strong electromagnetic ﬁelds (EMFs ) of about 50 to 60 cycles per second (hertz, or Hz) and the related electromagnetic radiation
(EMR) are harmful to us. Long-term  exposure may aggravate any existing health problems or diseases and may cause or intensify
especially lack of energy or fatigue, irritability, aggression, hyperactivity, sleep disorders and emotional instability. Increasing numbers
of individuals are becoming hypersensitive to EMR; many can feel the electricity going through the body and may experience
disabling symptoms such as convulsions, memory problems and depression.
Chronic exposure to high levels of EMR, especially while asleep, is a constant drain on our vitality. It creates chronic stress, which
interferes with the regeneration and healing that normally takes place during a good night’ s sleep. You may compare it to always
swimming against a strong current and this may well make the difference between recovering from a serious disease and
succumbing to it. For more information on health problems due to electricity and many case reports see www.emrsafety.8m.net.
EMR exists around power lines, power tools, electric stoves, heaters, boilers, freezers and television sets when in use, extending
several feet or yards around the appliance. Stay away from them if possible. Using an electric iron or an electric keyboard or working
with handheld power tools can quick ly drain our energies. When workin g with electric equipment we can reduce harmful effects by
holding our hands under running water from time to time in addition to having a shower in the evening or walking barefoot on grass.
Try to minimise electromagnetic pollution, especially while sleeping when the pineal gland is most susceptible. Also sleep in the dark
or at least cover your eyes to produce the immune-stimulating hormo ne melatonin. Preferably switch off all power points in the
bedroom and unplug all electric leads with 2-prong plugs before going to sleep but deﬁnitely any power points or leads close to the
bed. This applies also to waterbeds which need to be unplugged overnight.
If the head faces a wall with power -points or other electric wiring inside the wall close to the bed then move the bed towards the
middle of the room so that you can walk around the bed. The best sleeping position is with the head towards north or otherwise
somewhere between north and east.
When using an electric blanket, warm the bed beforehand and pull out the plug at the wall when you go to bed. Do not habitually
remain within a few metres of a working electric appliance, minimise ﬂuorescent lighting, watching television, using video games,
computers and even electric typewriters and hand-held electric tools.
Stray currents and radiating ﬁelds can still be emitted from electric wires  even if appliances are switched off. AC electric ﬁelds do not
disappear when an appliance is switched off, only AC magnetic ﬁelds disappear. Keep live wires away from your body. Preferably do
not live near high-voltage lines, microwave towers or electric-train tracks.
Television sets also emit harmful X-rays. Preferably sit as far away as conveniently possible. The ﬁeld is strongest directly in front and
at the back. View the set at an angle and restrict your exposure to only a few programs daily - the fewer the better. Computer
monitors apparently have stronger radiations to the sides than to the front.
ELECTRO-PROOFI NG YOUR HOUSE
The measures outlined so far will go some way to reduce the harmful effects of EMR on your health. However, often they are not
enough. There is a simple way to check if your home and workplace are sufﬁciently safe. You can do this by measuring the electricity
that is absorbed by your body. For this you need a digital voltmeter or multimeter, which is able to read millivolts. This is reasonably
cheap to buy or a friend may lend you one.
Then you get some insulated electric  wire that is long enough to reach from most rooms to the ground outside and attach an alligator
clip to each end. Finally you need a ground stake or earth spike, a coppe r pipe is good, which you drive into the ground in moist soil.
One end of the wire is clipped to a clamp at the top of the ground stake and the other to the black probe of the voltmeter. It is not
good enough to attach the earth wire to a water pipe or to the main electricity ground stake of the house as they may carry high
voltages.
To close the circuit you just need to hold the metal end of the red probe  ﬁrmly in one hand. However, it is more convenient to hold a
piece of copper pipe, which is connected through a clipped or soldered insulated wire to the red probe. Now you set the dial to 2 AC
Volt. If it shows less than 200 mV that is good and you can switch the meter to the 200 mV setting. Preferably the reading should be
below 100 mV in commonly used rooms but if you lie down on your bed it should read below 10 mV.
In reality the readings will be much higher and you may get between 2 and 50 V while lying on your bed. This is a constant drain on
your vitality. By moving the bed away from any electrical wiring you may perhaps get it to read between 500 mV and 2 V. A relatively

https://health-science-spirit.com/Healing_the_Body/Electromagnetic-Pollution.html 1/2easy way of reducing the voltage a lot further is by using an earthed electric blanket.
The easiest way is to use an old or second-hand electric blanket and cut off the plug. Then you can easily solder or clip an earth wire
onto all three-wire strands. If you want to keep using it for heating as well, then you may attach a plug to the earth wire. Lying on a
well-earthed electric blanket may bring the body voltage down to read one quarter to one tenth of the previous measurement.
If the bed has a steel frame or innerspring mattress then these may also need to be earthed. Commonly all springs are internally
connected and need to be earthed only at one point but some mattresses have individual springs which would need to be earthed
individually. However, steel frames and innerspring mattresses still may deﬂect the compass needle when moved across the bed and
that is not good either. The needle should continue pointing north everywhere over the bed. Metal beams in the wall or ceiling may
cause the same problem and the bed should be moved far enough away from magnetic ﬁeld disturbances.
In addition earth any metal parts, such as window frames, metal wall cladding or rooﬁng iron that show an unacceptably high reading
when touched with one hand while holding the earthed probe in the other. This is especially the case if there are high-voltage power-
lines, microwave towers or transformers nearby or powerlines that form a right angle as at street corners.
Occasionally there may be so much ground electricity that it shows a higher reading when lying on an earthed electric blanket than
without an earth connection. In this case move the earth stake as far away as possible from any power sources that may cause this
problem and ﬁnd or create a good earthing behind the house where you can reach moist soil with a long ground stake. With a short
ground stake try to keep the soil around it moist at all times. It is also possible to get a good earth by connecting the wire to a moist
part of a tree or large outside plant.
To get a true reading on a concrete ﬂoor or when outside the house you should be insulated by wearing shoes, otherwise the reading
will be much too low.
For sanitising an apartment of ofﬁce in a large building where you cannot get a good earth you may just try if an earth connection to
the water pipe is sufﬁcient or get expert help. An upper ﬂoor of a building commonly has much higher voltages than the ground ﬂoor,
as there may be wiring in the ﬂoor as well as in the ceiling. In this case you may be able to reduce the EMR considerably by placing
earthed wire netting under the carpet. If this is not possible with the entire ﬂoor, then perhaps just earth a smaller area where you are
usually sitting.
In other cases it may be advisable to shield and earth the wiring inside a wall. This is much more difﬁcult as wall panels need to be
removed but it may be relatively easy under the roof or if the wiring is under the house. You may simply wrap electric cables with
earthed wire netting or aluminium foil or nail metal strips over them.
In addition to these earthing measures, you may disconnect the fuse or switch in the meter-box for the bedroom (commonly including
all power points in the house) overnight. Alternatively have a separate fuse switch installed for the bedroom only or a demand switch
that only supplies power to the circuit when needed. In addition, strategically placed copper coils may be used and are highly
recommended to de-stress the whole house. For such coils as well as digital voltmeters with hand probes, earth stakes and earth
wires see Resources.

indirectly. The second and third levels of nutrition occur
on the levels of the mind (Manas) and consciousness (Chit-
ta) respectively. This was discussed in the chapters relating
to sensory therapies and the functions of the mind.
However, because food affects the other levels of our
nature through a physical medium, it takes its influence
deep into the unconscious. Food nourishes the vital force
that sustains autonomic and instinctual reflexes. Through
the vital force, the effects of food can reach the emotional
urges embedded in our deeper consciousness. Through the
vital-force, the food drives us to particular activities,
according to its nature. For example, if we eat a lot of
meat, which is permeated with the influence of harm to
other creatures, this will promote aggressive and perhaps
violent actions on our part.
During the process of eating, our life-force and mind Outer Treatment Modalities '89 A
open up and are exposed to environmental influences. Our
Prana becomes exposed. While eating we become vulnera-
ble to impressions and feelings from the world around us.
We are strongly influenced by people while eating with
them, particularly in social circumstances, like in a restau-
rant. We are not only what we eat but whom we eat with,
as well as where we eat.
The impulses of the unconscious are the hardest part of
awareness to change and the source of the hidden fears and
desires that most disturb us. Therefore we should not
underestimate the power of food to affect either our
thoughts or our behavior. Control of diet aids in the con-
trol of the subconscious and the release of its contents. As
psychological problems are rooted in the unconscious, diet
should not be overlooked in treating them.
Most psychological problems reflect our dietary habits,
either in what or how we eat. They cause us to eat wrong
food or to eat in a wrong or irregular manner. All imbal-
ances of the mind disturb the digestive system through the
nervous system. Correcting diet helps clear out the uncon-
scious habits that sustain our mental unrest.
Levels of Nutrition Through Food
Food provides nourishment through all the five ele-
ments, predominantly earth. The six tastes of food help
build up the respective elements in the body and mind (see
table below). 190 Ayurveda and the Mind

Air Breath and the air

Ether Space in breath and
in food Clears and nourishes mind
and senses
Along with the food we eat, we take in various sensory
impressions, the most evident being the taste of the food,
although smell, texture, and sight also come into play.
Additional subtle impressions come in through how the
food is grown and prepared, as well as the atmosphere and
state of mind in which it is eaten. This is part of the sec-
ond or mental level of nutrition.
Food, like all things in the universe, consists of the
three cosmic qualities of Sattva (balance), Rajas (agitation)
and Tamas (resistance). These are reflected in both the ele-
ments and impressions gained through the food. These
constitute the third or core level of nutrition, which
Ayurveda emphasizes through a Sattvic diet.
Sattvic Diet
Ayurveda emphasizes a Sattvic diet for healthful living,
particularly for keeping our minds happy and at peace. Outer Treatment Modalities
Sattvic diet was originally devised for the practice of Yoga
and the development of higher consciousness. It aids in the
treatment of mental disorders because it helps restore har-
mony and balance (Sattva) to the mind.
The prime factor in a Sattvic diet is vegetarian food. If
one follows a vegetarian diet, one goes a long way toward
a wholesome diet for the mind. This means avoiding meat
and fish, and all other foods caused by harming animals.56
Red meat is the worst in this regard, particularly beef.
Yet being a vegetarian does not require following a
strict raw food diet, living only on salads and fresh fruit.
The cerebrospinal fluid has an oily nature and needs cer-
tain rich foods to sustain it. Nutritive vegetarian foods like
whole grains, seeds, nuts, and dairy products help build
the brain tissue and develop Ojas. Raw foods, like salads
and greens, detoxify the body and increase Prana, but are
not adequate to sustain our energy over long periods of
time, particularly if we do physical work or movement.
Sattvic diet means not only vegetarian food, but food
rich in Prana (life-force) like organic fresh fruit and veg-
etables. It requires avoiding canned and processed food,
and foods prepared with chemical fertilizers or sprays. It
also means properly cooked fresh food. Even if we cook
food, we should make sure that it is fresh to begin with,
eaten at the same meal and not overcooked.
It takes time for the effects of dietary changes to mani-
fest on the mind. Changing our diet may not impact our
psychology overnight, but in a period of months can affect
it significantly. A number of psychological disorders can
be cured, or at least alleviated, by following a Sattvic diet
as outlined in the appendix. While it may not be possible
to follow a strictly Sattvic diet, we should at least orient
our food habits in that direction. For psychological imbal-
ances, we should consider diet more seriously. A 192 Ayurveda and the Mind
Sattvic Diet and the Six Tastes
Ayurveda recognizes six tastes, each of which is
composed of two of the five elements:
Sweet earth and water
Salty water and fire
Sour earth and fire
Pungent fire and air
Bitter air and ether
Astringentearth and air
Sweet is the primary Sattvic taste because it is nurtur-
ing and harmonizing, reflecting the energy of love. Pun-
gent, sour and salty tastes are Rajasic (stimulant-irritant)
because they activate the senses and make the mind extro-
verted. Bitter and astringent tastes are Tamasic in the long
term because their effect is to deplete the vital fluids.
However, we need all six tastes to various degrees. The
right balance of tastes itself is Sattvic. This consists of food
that is pleasant, but not overly sweet, in taste like grains,
fruit and sweet vegetables, along with moderate use of
spices, salt and condiments, and taking only bitter and
astringent articles for necessary detoxification. Sattvic diet
is mild and even in qualities, not going to any extreme of
taste.
Pungent taste irritates the nerves by its stimulating
and dispersing property. Sour and salty tastes aggravate
the emotions through heating the blood. Bitter and astrin-
gent tastes can make us ungrounded and dry out the ner-
vous system. However, a number of sweet spices, like gin-
ger, cinnamon and cardamom, are Sattvic and help clear
the mind and harmonize emotions. Some special bitter
herbs, like gotu kola, are Sattvic. Bitter taste helps open Outer Treatment Modalities 193
the mind because it is composed of the same basic ele-
ments of air and ether.
Too much of any taste becomes Tamasic or dulling.
This is particularly true of sweet taste, which is heavy in
nature. We have all experienced the dulling effect of eat-
ing too many sweets. Complex carbohydrates are better for
the mind than raw sugars. Pure sugars over stimulate the
pancreas. They require the pancreas to work hard to keep
blood sugar levels down when they enter the blood and,
when they leave the blood, make it work hard to keep the
blood sugar level up. This can cause mood swings and
emotional imbalances. Because sweet taste is Sattvic or
love-promoting, we indulge in it in order to compensate
for lack of love in our lives.
Excessive eating is Tamasic, while light eating is
Sattvic, though light eating can be Rajasic if food intake is
not adequate to ground the mind. Overweight is a Tama-
sic state, causing dullness and heaviness in the mind, while
underweight is Rajasic, promoting hypersensitivity and
hyperactivity.
Rajasic and Tamasic Diets
Rajasic and Tamasic foods disturb or dull the mind and
produce unrest and disease. We should understand them in
order to avoid them. Rajasic food is excessively spicy, salty
and sour: like chilies, garlic, onions, wines, pickles, excess
salt, mayonnaise, sour cream, and vinegar. Food too hot in
temperature is Rajasic. Rajasic food is usually taken with
stimulating (Rajasic) beverages like coffee or alcohol. It
may be eaten in Rajasic circumstances, as when we are hur-
ried, disturbed


 experience the majority of GAPS children and adults have no reaction
to ghee and can use it in their diet right from the beginning.
The good news about dairy products is that for many patients they do
not have to be out of the diet forever. As the gut lining starts to heal many
GAPS patients are able to re-introduce other dairy products.
The first product to add to their diet is butter. Butter is virtually pure milk
fat and contains only very small amounts of whey, which at a certain stage in
the diet the patients can usually handle. Butter should be bought organic,
because non-organic butter contains a lot of pesticides, hormones and
antibiotics, which non-organic cows consume. I generally recommend to try
introducing butter after 6 months on the diet. It is preferable to have unsalted
butter as a lot of salt products which are used to preserve butter contain flow
agents and other additives. I would like to emphasise here that butter and
ghee contain a lot of valuable nutrition for children and adults and should not
be avoided, unless there is a true allergy. Butter and ghee provide various fatty
acids with important health giving benefits, vitamins A, D, E, beta-carotene
and other nutritious substances in an easy to digest form.
In about a year gradual introduction of protein containing lactose free
milk products is possible: yoghurt and cheeses. As the gut flora gets estab
lished and the digestive system heals many GAPS patients are able to digest
milk protein without absorbing it in an opiate-like form of casomorphin.
However, all patients are different Some are ready for this step in a few
months, some require much longer. It is critical to proceed very carefully and
slowly, introducing milk protein containing foods one at a time and starting
from tiny amounts watching for any reaction. Any signs of regression in a
child or an adult with GAPS would indicate that he/she is not ready. It may
be an increase in self-stimulation and worsening of eye-contact, sleep dis
turbances and increase in anxiety, mood alterations and hyperactivity,
eczema flare-up or worsening in allergies. Every patient would have symp
toms typical for him or her. Generally from clinical experience I can say that
the younger the patient is the sooner he or she is ready for this step. Adults on average take longer than children. In some cases dairy proteins have to be
avoided indefinitely, particularly in long standing cases of schizophrenia
and cases complicated by epilepsy, asthma and eczema.
The first protein containing milk product that can be introduced is
home-made yoghurt. Why home-made? Because commercially produced
yoghurts are often not completely lactose-free due to short fermentation
time. Yoghurt has to be fermented for 24 hours at least to be completely lac
tose-free. So initially the only yoghurt which the GAPS child or adult can
have has to be home-made (look in the recipe section for instructions on
how to make yoghurt). Apart from consuming lactose the fermenting bac
teria pre-digest milk proteins, making them easier for our digestive sys
tems to handle. That is why fermented milk products in general are much
easier for us humans to digest.
There is a question about what is the best milk to use for making yoghurt
- cow's or goat's. There are some other rare milk products on the market,
like sheep and deer, which are not researched to any degree yet and are not
practical to discuss here. Goat's milk is considered to be more digestible by
humans as it contains less casein and different types of fats and proteins.
However, when it comes to beta-casein, which is supposed to be the prob
lem for autistic and schizophrenic patients, the goat's milk contains more of
it compared to cow's milk. Unfortunately, there is not much scientific data
on this subject for us to rely on. However, in a clinical setting patients do
report that goat's milk is much better tolerated than cow's milk. So, initially
I recommend making your yoghurt from goat's milk rather than cow's milk.
If it is not possible to find goat's milk in your area try to make yoghurt from
cow's milk, as indeed Elaine Gottschall used to treat her child and thou
sands of other patients very effectively. A very important point here is to use
only organic milk, as there is a noticeable difference in the clinical observa
tions of the effects of non-organic and organic yoghurt. People who react to
non-organic yoghurt often tolerate an organic one perfectly well, because
non-organically reared animals have to consume a whole array of chemi
cals from antibiotics to pesticides, most of which finish up in the milk.
It is important to introduce home-made yoghurt gradually, starting from
one tea spoon a day slowly increasing the daily amount to one or two cups
a day. It can be added to home-made soups and stews, served as a desert
with fruit and honey or mixed with fruit smoothies and drinks. You can
drain it through a cheese cloth to produce cottage cheese. It gives a nice
variety to the diet. However, I would repeat that the patient's digestive
system has to be ready for it! So, do not rush with this step! Once the GAPS patient can tolerate home-made yoghurt without any
problem natural organic cheese can be tried. It has to be said that cheese is
one of the more difficult dairy products to introduce as it provides a very
concentrated milk protein. Cheese is also a great breeding ground for
yeasts and moulds, which a lot of GAPS people can not tolerate. Some
GAPS patients find that they can have home-made yoghurt without any
problem but can never have cheese. However, in the majority of cases, pro
viding that their digestive system had a good chance to heal, the GAPS chil
dren and adults can enjoy a good variety of natural cheeses, like cheddar,
dry curd cheese and others (for a full list look at the end of this chapter). As
with yoghurt introduce cheeses one at a time, starting from a very small
amount (no more than one mouthful) and watching the patient's reaction.
In a few months after safely introducing cheese many patients find that
their digestive system is in a good enough state to handle commercially
produced live natural yoghurt (with no additives), soured cream and
cr&me fresh. At the end of the second year on the diet, fresh cream can be
added to the list.
How to introduce dairy products - the summary
Stepi,  Only home-made ghee is allowed. This stage lasts on average six
months. If your GAPS patient can not tolerate ghee, you may find that
this patient will never tolerate any dairy product. However, it is worth
leaving it out for six months and then trying again to introduce it.
Step  2. Organic butter can be added gradually. Watch for any reactions.
Step  3. Home-made yoghurt can be introduced, starting from one tea
spoon a day and gradually increasing the daily amount. If there is any
negative reaction, wait for a month then try again. The majority of GAPS
patients are ready for this step at the end of the first year on the diet.
Step  4. Try a mouthful of organic cheddar cheese with a meal. Watch for
any negative reaction for three to five days, as the reaction may be
delayed. If there is no negative reaction, gradually increase the amount.
Once the cheddar cheese is well tolerated, try to introduce another
natural cheese (for a full list of allowed cheeses look at the end of the
chapter). Introduce this step only after home-made yoghurt is well
tolerated.
Step  5. Try some commercially available live natural yoghurt, soured
cream and creme fraiche. Do not rush with this step. The majority of
GAPS people are ready for this step by the end of two years on the diet. After two years on the diet a lot of GAPS people find that on an occasional
basis  they can have any natural dairy product without any apparent prob
lems, including milk, cream and cheeses off the allowed list. However, I
recommend limiting these products to only occasional use and staying
safe with those milk products which are allowed on the diet.
So, what is for dinner?
In the previous chapter we have talked in detail about the kind of carbohy
drates or sugars allowed on the diet: mono-sugars. They are found in fruit
and non-starch vegetables. All complex carbohydrates, those found in
grains and starchy vegetables have to be rigorously excluded from the diet.
I cannot over-emphasise how important it is to make sure that not even a
speck of anything made from sugar, grains or starchy vegetables sneaks
into the menu. This is the point when I usually see the panic on the parent's
faces, particularly parents who went through all the pain of implementing
the GFCF diet. No rice! No biscuits! No cakes! No pasta! No bread! Even
gluten free! No chips! No crisps! No popcorn! No ice-cream! No sweets! But
that is all my child would eat! My child is going to starve!

 of life itself. It is very quickly
reactive to stress. This bio-ener gy reacts from instant to instant due to
fluctuating factors in our lives, which are the changing patterns of our
perceptions, thoughts, and feelings. The conventional measurement of the
body’ s medical reactions is relatively slow. A fleeting thought, which may
be accompanied by an emotional pang, does not bring about a measurable
change in the body’ s blood pressure or pulse in response; however, it
instantly registers in the bioener gy system where a variety of rapid changes
can be observed by scientific, psychic, and clinical methods.
The overall balance of the body’ s acupuncture ener gy system is
regulated by the activity of the thymus gland. The bio-ener gy system is
intimately connected to the body’ s immune system via the thymus gland.
Chronic stress weakens the body’ s immune system, suppresses the thymus
gland, and throws the bioener gy system out of balance. Strengthening the
thymus gland or taking thymus supplements rebalances the bio-ener gysystem. An extensive explanation of this is found in the books Behavioral
Kinesiology  and Life Ener gy  by John Diamond, M.D.
Interventions to Alleviate Str ess
Research at U.C.L.A. by Liebeskind and Shavit during the 1980s further
clarified the relationship among stress, suppression of the immune system,
and the development of cancer by showing the intermittent stress on the
release of the brain opiates known as endorphins. Stress in the form of
intermittent shocks suppresses the immune system. When the immune
response is strong, there is the release of the brain’ s endorphins, so-called
anti-cancer “killer” cells, which attack and kill young growing tumor cells.
But when the immune activity is suppressed and there is a reduced presence
of endorphins, the activity of the anti-cancer “killer” cells diminishes.
The report in Science  (223: 188–190) states, “Our findings support the
view that the central nervous system by modulating immune function
exercises some measure of control over the inception and development of
disease.” The report goes on to say that a feeling of helplessness has been
related to reduced anti-cancer killer cell activity and increased tumor
growth. Depression in animals, as well as humans, lowers the immune
response, and this helplessness has to do with how much control the person
and the animal feel they have over stressful events. Those findings help
explain why depression and a sense of helplessness are associated with
cancer. Further research confirms that the stress response was found to be a
principal precondition for physical illness in animals and humans
(Sapolsky, 2010).
The overall ef fect of stress on the immune system results in the
blocking of the body’ s immune system because of the production of auto-
antibodies. If these auto-antibodies are themselves blocked, the immune
function resumes once again. Therefore, the blocking of the immune system
is reversible. For example, research done at the Pasteur Institute in Paris has
resulted in the so-called Bogomoletz serum which, when injected
intradermally, results in reactivation of the immune system. This treatment
is called the I.B.R. (Immuno-Biologic-Rejuvenation) treatment. A small
amount of serum is injected within the skin on three successive days and
results in rapid reactivation of the immune system.
Reactivation of pro-health body responses is also seen in non-medical
interventions, as in the correlation of meditation practice with a reduction instress and depression. Research done on college students, for example,
found that meditation led to a decrease in their inflammatory stress reaction,
which was linked to the alleviation of their depression. The study found that
students who participated faithfully in a six-week meditation training
experienced improved immune system functioning. The students in a
control group, who received only educational information about stress
without the inner technique, showed little to no physiological or
psychological improvement (Pace et al, 2009).
Unpublished research studies during the 1980s, for which I served as
clinical advisor, showed a greater ef fectiveness of inner techniques in
contrast to purely medical methods of stress reduction. The medical
methods such as progressive relaxation have a positive ef fect; however, the
ameliorative ef fect on heart rate and blood pressure is greater and more
sustainable if inner mechanisms are consciously applied.
These scientific results will not be surprising to people who have
learned to use inner technologies such as the letting go technique, which is
a process of internal surrender that can be applied to any and all situations.
They report that they are better able to handle stress because they are
calmer in dif ficult situations after learning how to let go of negative feelings
as the feelings arise.
Kinesiologic T esting
Kinesiology or muscle-testing is a rewarding subject for studying the direct
relationship between the mind and the body. The basic testing procedure is
now relatively widely known and is both highly informative and simple to
learn. Diagnosticians use kinesiologic methods to test the balance of the
acupuncture system, the acupuncture meridians, and the overall functioning
of the body’ s bio-ener gy system.
Kinesiology deals primarily with muscle-testing, as sudden drops in
bio-ener gy are indicated by rapid weakening of the body’ s musculature.
This response can be elicited by any negative ener gy that comes within the
aura (vicinity) of the bio-ener gy system. The stimulus may be physical,
such as artificial sweeteners, fluorescent lights, synthetic foods and fabrics,
and certain rhythms produced by heavy metal or rap music groups. The
most notable stimulus for our understanding is, however, the immediate
weakening ef fect of a negative thought or feeling. A negative thought orfeeling instantly weakens the body and cr eates an imbalance of the body’ s
ener gy flow.
Because this kind of muscle-testing so beautifully and dramatically
illustrates the connection between mind and body, it is worth the ef fort to
know of the procedure and to experience it personally; therefore, we will go
into some detail about the testing procedure itself, which is extremely
simple and requires only two persons. It is important to note that both the
tester and the one being tested must be over the consciousness level of
courage (calibration of 200) in order to obtain accurate responses from the
testing procedure (see Appendix B ); that is, those who are dedicated to truth
are shown the truth.
Kinesiologic T esting T echnique
The test subject stands with one arm stretched out to the side and raised to
shoulder height. The second person serves as a tester. Using two fingers, the
tester presses down quickly for a few seconds on the back of the testee’ s
wrist to get a feel for muscle strength. At the same time that the tester
presses down, he asks the test subject to resist with all his strength. It is
important in doing this that the tester does not smile at the subject, and there
should be no talking or music at that moment. It is best to have the test
subject view a neutral object such as a blank wall or shut the eyes. After
several trials, the tester will get a feel of the strength of the subject’ s
muscles.
For the demonstration, simply have the subject think of an emotionally
unpleasant situation or hold in mind an unpleasant person. While the
subject holds that unpleasant thought in mind, the tester presses down again
for a few seconds to test the strength of the subject’ s arm, which is still
being held out horizontally. At the same time, the test subject again resists
with all his strength. It will be observed dramatically that there is a sudden
major weakening of the deltoid muscle which, with testing, will indicate a
loss of about 50% of muscle strength.
Now have the subject think of someone he loves and re-test. He will
instantly go strong. This is a dramatic and highly valuable phenomenon to
experience and witness. The test can be repeated with various negative
objects held in the subject’ s other hand, in their mouth, or placed on the
crown of their head or at the solar plexus. T o do this, have the subject look
at a fluorescent light or a television commercial at the moment of testing, ortest the dif ference between the ef fect of classical music versus heavy metal
or rap music; homemade bread versus machine-made bread; sugar versus
honey; synthetic fabrics versus cotton, wool or silk; junk food versus
or ganic health food; synthetic vitamin C versus or ganic rose hips vitamin C.
Additional tests can be done for individual reactions to diet sodas,
cigarettes, soaps, favorite foods, and other objects with which we come into
frequent contact.
As various objects and the ef fects of thoughts and feelings are tested, it
soon becomes obvious that everything in the universe has a vibration and
that the vibration has a strengthening or weakening ef fect. For instance, to
demonstrate the weakening ef fect of a negative ener gy food such as
artificial sweeteners, it is not necessary to place the food in the mouth. It
will have the same weakening ef fect if placed in the opposite hand or on the
top of the head.
When a person uses the mechanism of surrender and lets go of a
negative feeling, the muscle testing we have described will change


 which we live.
Clothing
Clothes are our'second skin' and their material and color have a direct inﬂuence on our emotions and wellbeing. This applies
especially to garments that are worn directly on the skin. Except for occasional short-term use, avoid any underwear, including
pantyhose and stockings, made of nylon or other synthetic material. Nylon seems to be worse than polyester. The only acceptable
human-made ﬁber may be rayon, which is based on cellulose.
Generally minimize wearing a bra, synthetic clothing and even some of the newer heavily chemicalised wool or cotton material. One
study found that women who always wear a bra had forty times more breast cancer than women who used a bra only sometimes. A
tight bra blocks the lymph circulation in the breasts and is much worse than a loose-ﬁtting bra.
You may use muscle testing to discover whether a certain material or color is suitable for you. Generally, select colors that balance
your emotional state: wear bright colors when you are low in energy and blue when you are nervous and irritable. Avoid murky and
dull grey colors, and be careful with black.
Shoes should preferably be of natura l materials and with leather sole in order to allow static electricity to ﬂow off the body and into the
ground. This is prevented by rubber and synthetic soles and by nylon socks and stockings. Walking barefoot at least for several
minutes each day on moist grass or wet sand will greatly help overcome this problem.
Housing
Select building materials that do not block the natural electric, magnet ic and life-force ﬁelds of the Earth. Basically, this excludes
sheet metals and any steel or wire-mesh concrete reinforcements that form a cage-like structure ('Faraday cage'). This leaves stone,
brick, wood and ﬁbrocement acceptable for building.
Unfortunately, chemically treated wood emits an unfavorable vibration pattern; it is not good for inside walls. If you are living under a
metal-covered roof or aluminum-coated insulating material, it is preferable to sleep under a part of the roof that is covered with a non-
metal, such as tiles, shingles, corrugated ﬁbrocement, ﬁberglass, exterior plywood or tar-paper.
Generally, do not use tinted glass for large windows, because this may result in unwanted color therapy. Water pipes should
preferably be of galvanized iron or ceramic, new copper, lead and plastic pipes may leach undesirable concentrations of heavy
metals into the water.
Use natural ﬁbers for your interior decorations, avoiding synthetic carpet s, curtains, and so on. Their harmful radiation and tendency
to accumulate static electricity tend to reduce our wellbeing. These synthetic materials, as well as television sets, also lower the
amount of beneﬁcial negative ions in the air. Leaving windows open helps to minimize this harmful ef fect.

https://health-science-spirit.com/Healing_the_Body/Healthy-Living.html 1/3Avoid cooking and heating inside with gas or kerosene except if the combustion gases are efﬁciently being removed. Many people
are allergic to these. Make your home a low-pollution sanctuary. Wood stoves or solar heating are preferable wherever feasible.
The only good mattresses are futon s that are ﬁlled with natural ﬁbers, such as kapok, wool, horsehair or cotton. I regard latex or
natural rubber as the best but also most expensive choice. A cheaper alternative is straw or hay from a pesticide-free source. Do not
use an innerspring mattress. They commonly direct confused spiral force  ﬁelds into the body. You can test this by moving a compass
across the surface of the mattress and watch the needle wildly jumping in opposite directions.
Synthetic foam rubber mattresses are not good either but if used, then wrap them in clear polythene with only a small opening at the
bottom or use a commercial anti-al lergen mattress protector. Use only natural blankets and sheets on top of the mattress. Even
sheepskin is chemically treated and can cause problems. Plastic mattresses emit toxic gases that appear to be a major factor in
crib/cot death. There was no repor ted crib death among the tens of thousands of New Zealand babies who slept on wrapped
mattresses since 1995.
Furthermore, do not use steel-framed beds, steel-spring frames and move the bed if there are metal beams or live wires in the wall
behind the bed. Featherbeds are acceptable but sometimes seem to contribute to arthritic problems due to a build-up of static
electricity between the feathers. Try to sleep with the head in a northerly direction or otherwise towards the east. Our brain waves are
slowest when the head points towar ds magnetic north. However, some individuals in the southern hemisphere sleep also well with
the head towards the south. During cold nights consider covering your head to minimize heat.
Furthermore, sleep in total darkness or alternatively cover your eyes during sleep. Cancer protective melatonin is released in normal
amounts only when we sleep in darkness. Profoundly blind women have up to 70% less breast cancer than women with normal sight,
profoundly blind men have less canc er of the colon, lungs, prostate, skin and stomach. However, simple vision impairment does not
reduce cancer rates, only if there is no sensitivity to light at all.
If you live in a modern house, try to sanitize it by minimizing the use of synthetic items that release chemicals, as for instance
formaldehyde from glued material such as many carpets, chipboard or plywood. Avoid solvents and smelling household cleaners and
disinfectants, tobacco smoke, mothballs and insect sprays. If the outside air is reasonably clean, good ventilation helps to minimize
the problem.
Minimize electro-pollutants
Try to minimize electromagnetic pollution, especially while sleeping when the pineal gland is most susceptible. Unplug all electric
leads close to the bed before going to sleep, watch that there are no live electric wires inside the wall near the head. Do not habitually
remain within a few meters of a working electric appliance.
Minimize wearing sunglasses, watching television, using video games, radiation from computer monitors and even electric
typewriters and hand-held electric tools. Television sets still have quite a strong radiation even when switched off. Avoid or minimize
ﬂuorescent lighting, except for stabilized (non-ﬂickering) full-spectrum daylight ﬂuorescent lights, available from special outlets.
Actually, AC electric ﬁelds do not diminish when an appliance is switched off, only AC magnetic ﬁelds disappear. I have been rather
surprised by the strong electric ﬁelds  I have found in bedrooms. Fields should be nearly zero at the bed-site or at least under 1 V/m
but often they are over 5 or 10 V/m. Therefore place the bed and especi ally the head as far as possible away from power points and
wires inside the wall with a minimum distance of one meter.
The safest possibility is to disconnect the fuse for the bedroom (commonly including all power points in the house) overnight.
Alternatively have a separate fuse switch or plug installed for the bedroo m only. When living or sleeping in a multi-story building, ﬁnd
out where the electrical wiring and especially any lamps are located under the ﬂoor and minimize exposure to these locations.
Some dowsers claim to have discovered harmful earth rays from fault lines and underground streams under the beds of most cancer
victims. Try to ﬁnd someone who is able to check the location of your bed for harmful underground radiation, even if you sleep on an
upper ﬂoor. Such geopathic disturbances can also be detected with a scientiﬁc instrument that indicates the degree of distortion of
the local geomagnetic ﬁeld.
If you developed a serious disease in your present house and bed position and you cannot have your bed checked, then just move it
to a different location. In addition you may use a shielding device under the bed: place wire netting under the whole area of the bed
and connect this to an electric earth, or cover the area under the bed with an inch of quartz sand. You may be able to check the bed
yourself with a short wave radio - the reception deteriorates over a fault line. Crossings of fault lines are especially dangerous.

 baby poop. In fact, for a breastfed baby,
yellow liquidy poop is healthy!
“She keeps throwing up all the time! Is that normal?”  Spitting up
and throwing up are two dif ferent things for babies. If your baby is
regurgitating milk or even what looks like curdled milk after eating,
this is spitting up and is likely to be normal. If they are projectile
vomiting (the milk comes out forcefully in a straight line out of their
mouth), call the pediatrician. See this page  on “Spitting up (in
Breastfed Babies)” for more info on this.
“He is constantly drinking milk! I feel like I am nursing all day
long! Is that normal?”  Newborn breastfed babies will drink milk
every two or three hours—sometimes more, sometimes less. During
the typical growth spurts—at three days, five days, seven days, three
weeks, and five weeks of age—which can last anywhere from one
day to several days, they may do what is called cluster feeding.
Cluster feeding means they nurse constantly on and of f for hours ata time. This is normal and natural, and if your baby wants to cluster
feed, cozy up with a good book to pass the time. They will benefit
from the nourishment of the extra milk, so best to allow them to eat
when they are hungry and stop when they are full.
“His skin is peeling. Is that normal?”  Newborn babies’  skin goes
through a lot in the first few weeks. Peeling is a normal occurrence,
as their skin is used to the watery womb, and our world in
comparison is dry and cold. Starting with baby abhyangas after the
umbilical cord falls of f may help with peeling skin. However, it is
nothing to be concerned about and is totally normal.
“Her poop is green!”  Yes, green poop is normal for babies! Their
digestion may simply be adjusting to changes in your diet or they
may be teething. In fact, almost all colors of poop can be normal for
newborns. In general, the only color to call your doctor about would
be white poop.
“She has blood in her diaper! Is she okay?!”  Sometimes female
infants will get what looks like a mini period in their diaper. It will
probably only show up once or twice. This is normal spotting of blood
due to the hormones in mama’ s milk and not a cause for concern. If
it lasts more than a few days, call your doctor to be sure.
BABY BATH TIME
When your baby is first born, you may notice a whitish, waxy coating on
their skin—a protective layer called vernix.  In a hospital setting, the
standard practice is to wash this coating of f. Ayurveda advises to leave the
vernix rather than washing it, and instead to massage it gently into the
baby’ s skin until it is absorbed. This natural external barrier has many
benefits including protecting the baby from pathogens, regulating their
body temperature, keeping their skin moisturized, and balancing their pH.
According to Ayurveda, a newborn baby can have an herbal bath any
time after birth. The herbs can be the same ones that mama uses for herherbal baths. Fill the bath with lukewarm water, or water just warmer than
body temperature. When you add the boiling water from the herbal
infusion, wait for the bath to cool before putting your baby in. Remember
that their skin is very sensitive and if it feels hot at all to you, it will feel
extra hot to them.
The bath given immediately after birth is considered more of a ritual
than a wash to clean them of f. A bath can be calming for your baby and
allow them a smooth transition out of the watery womb and into the world.
Once the bath is prepared with the herbal infusion and cooled to the right
temperature, you can slowly lower your baby into the water feet first. You
can hold your baby face up with one hand under their head and neck and the
other hand under their bottom and allow them to float on their back in the
water. Your baby should appear warm and relaxed; they may uncurl their
arms and legs and reach out into the water. Assure that their feet are always
contacting a boundary, whether it is your body or the edge of the bathtub.
They are used to the boundary of being in your womb, so too much space or
vastness can feel overwhelming—and even scary—to them.
The best practice for a newborn bath is to keep the baby’ s umbilical
cord out of the water, and just allow your newborn to float on their back on
top of the water—the usual Ayurvedic recommendation is to wait until the
umbilical cord falls of f to give baby a full bath. However, a floaty herbal
bath can be a sweet, relaxing welcome into the world for your baby. The
herbs have the added benefit of being antibacterial and soothing to the skin.
If the cord does get wet, simply dry it after the bath and apply powdered
goldenseal to the umbilical area to dry and help it heal.
After a baby’ s welcome bath, it is not necessary or recommended to
bathe them again until the umbilical cord falls of f naturally. Optimally, the
umbilical cord will simply dry up and fall of f on its own without any
intervention. Make sure to use diapers small enough that they do not cover
the umbilical cord. Powdered goldenseal applied gently around the belly
button with a Q-tip once a day will aid drying and healing and help prevent
infection. Until the cord falls of f, you can wash the baby with a warm,
clean, damp washcloth or sponge if needed, but often a baby does not needto be washed at all. After the umbilical cord is gone, you can begin to bathe
the baby once every day or every couple of days in lukewarm water after a
massage (see the next section).
BABY MASSAGE
A baby massage is a traditional practice that supports the health of a baby
and allows for deep bonding with the parents. The Ayurvedic
recommendation is to start baby massage after the umbilical cord falls of f
and to continue daily for at least the first year of the baby’ s life.
BENEFITS OF BABY  MASSAGE
Activates important bonding hormones between parent and baby
Promotes healthy and nourished skin
Boosts baby’ s weight gain
Prevents bacterial infections
Increases circulation of the blood and the lymphatic system
Drains toxins from the body
Strengthens the immune system
Supports digestion and bowel movements
Helps with sound sleep
Strengthens limbs and joints
Soothes the nervous system
Pacifies excess vata dosha
TIPS FOR AN AYUR VEDIC BABY  ABHY ANGA
Use organic oils only (conventional oils have many pesticides).Use sesame oil in general. Use sunflower or coconut oil if your baby
is prone to overheating or rashes.
Use the palms of your hands and closed fingers instead of finger tips
in order to calm your baby, rather than stimulate them.
Take cues from your babe. If they are not enjoying the massage, you
can stop or change your methods. They should appear calm or
happy and not be upset with abhyanga.
On that same note, always ask permission to give the massage. You
can ask by showing them your hands with the oil on it so they know
the massage is coming, and wait for their positive response before
moving forward. This is important even from birth—it teaches them
respect for their bodies and expectations for safe touch.
Be sure that the pressure of the massage is moderate: not so light
that it tickles or so deep that it hurts.
Only massage after basic needs (feeding and diapering) have been
met, and wait thirty minutes after a feeding.
Massage from the heart outward down the limbs.
Do not massage if the umbilical cord has not fallen of f yet, if the baby
is sleeping, if it’ s very soon after feeding, if baby is giving negative
cues (for example, crying or fussing), or if the baby is ill, congested,
or has a fever.
Choose a song to sing during the massage. As soon as you start to sing, your
little hunny may light up, as they begin to understand that this certain song
means massage time.
One of the most important parts of baby massage is transmitting love
through your hands, which means being totally and completely present with
your baby during this time.
1.Warm the oil first in your hands or place the oil bottle in hot
water for a few moments.2.Place little babe somewhere cozy and make sure the room is
warm. Be sure to place a sheet or towel underneath, as things
are about to get oily!
3.Gently begin by applying oil to the baby’ s scalp, rubbing their
head in circular motions with your palms.
4.Massage from the baby’ s heart down the arms and then the
legs. Use long strokes down the limbs, and circles around the
joints—making sure to really rub the oil into baby’ s tissues.
5.Massage baby’ s abdomen in a large clockwise motion, using a
gentle touch with little to no pressure.
6.Turn your baby onto their belly or side, and massage their back
and bum.
7.Let baby soak in the oily goodness for ten or twenty minutes.
Make sure your little one stays warm!
8.Bath time!

 the pipes and vital
organs of the body. After you have gone through several cleans ing-healing
crises you can then see the New, Healthier You revealing itself! Your eyes
become brighter, your skin and muscle tone healthier and the joints of your
body more supple. Your entire body throbs with a state of well-being that
makes you glad to be alive!
Each day when you live on The Toxicless Diet, Body Purification and
Healing System  you make changes and adjustments that help create a new,
stronger, more vigorous and healthy body! To my father and I it’s worth all
the effort and dedication that goes into living this healthy lifestyle. Man has
strayed from it because of the pressures of our modern, highly commercial
world. If he is to survive in this world man must change his life over to a
healthier, peaceful lifestyle ( and in futur e hopefully no wars or killing )!
The degree of physical perfection you wish to attain is solely a personal
matter and up to you! You must remember that 60 to 70% of your diet should
consist of raw organic fruits, vegetables, sprouts and fresh juices. Your
vegetarian protein, plus natural sugars, oils, starches and carbohydrates will
make up the balance page 116.
We must remind you that we offer no special diets for any specific
ailments! We recognize only one cause for all ailments – internal toxic
clogging! When you loosen and flush these vicious obstructions from your
body, then you are taking The Bragg Royal Road to T otal Health!
It’s suppos ed to be a professional secret, but I’ll tell you anyway. We doctors do nothing. We only
help and encourage the doctor within. – Albert Schweitzer
True wisdom consists in not departing fr om natur e, but molding our conduct accor ding to her wise
laws. – SenecaPlease Have Patience – It Takes Time and
Dedication To Reach Internal Perfection!
Constantly keep in mind that it took you years to get in the condition you
are now, through an unhealthy lifestyle and bad dietary habits! Now you
must be patient with yourself and Mother Nature and your body. Do not
throw caution to the wind! If you have been eating meat several times daily,
or eggs and cheese every day, you must slowly eliminate excessive use of
these clogging foods. Soon your body won’ t even miss them!
As you continue your fasting program, plus adding more fresh, raw fruits
and vegetables to your diet, you will gradually reach a perfect health
balance! This is the point where toxic poisons are no longer retained in the
body and it becomes mucus-free and toxin-free. This means you have
reached a peak of internal fitness, a point of perfection! This is the
condition every one should seek! This is what we want for you, our new
health friends and readers: to live a long, vibrant, healthy lifestyle and enjoy
eating a healthy, balanced diet while maintaining a clean, painless, tireless
and ageless body!
Caution – Move Slowly and Patiently For Super
Healthy Success in Your Life!
Keep in mind that “the wheels of time move slowly, but surely”. You
can’t rush your body or Mother Nature! You can’t be impatient and expect
to reach  perfect  internal fitness in a few months! Rome wasn’ t built in a
day! Achieving Super Health takes both dedication and time!
What You Eat & Drink – Becomes You!
Let’s look at it from a cold, scientific viewpoint. If you eat a breakfast of
hot or cold cerea l or hot cakes with two eggs, bacon, three slices  of buttered
toast and some beverage like tea or coffee, it is not immediatel y converted
into strength and energy! You must realize it takes a great deal of time and
energy for your stomach to mix this unnecessary, heavy breakfast with the
digestive juices for the slow process of digestion and assimilation. Then theseparation proce ss takes place as the proteins are broken down by special
juices in the stomach and the fats, starches and sugars are pushed into the
small intestine for later digestion.
All foods need a large amount of special juices and enzymes to break
them down so that they can be sent into the bloodstream. This all takes
many hours and some people have even slower digestions, often due to a
lack of sufficient body enzymes. This is all the more reason it’s wise to take
a multi-enzyme with each meal.  Health stores have a wide variety to choose
from. After the food has been broken down into a fine liquid by the
digestive tract, it still hasn’ t been absorbed by the body. The liquefied food
then must move past little tissues known as “villi” that line the intestines.
The suckers of the tiny villi then draw nourishment into the blood.
Your body is a non-stop living system, in constant motion 24 hours  daily, cleaning, repairing, healing
and gr owing. – Patricia Bragg, N.D., Ph.D.
You Need Go-Power in the Morning!
Again, we must emphasize that this entire process takes hours – so if
anyone says that you get immed iate strength from eating a heavy breakfast,
you know they are totally ignorant of the facts of digestion! You may say,
“Yes, that’s very well but I’m hungry in the morning. I get up hungry!” We
will have to answer that you are all wrong – your stomach has been
conditioned to load up with food in the morning. What you mistake for
hunger is simply a reflex action  enforced by a long-term habit  of eating a
big, heavy break fast! Once you discard breakfast and begin to live on the
“no heav y break fast” plan, you will never again put a heavy amount of food
into your stomach in the morning. A heavy breakfast makes you sluggish
and sleepy just when you need go-power to start your day!
Morning is the time to drink fresh fruit juices or the Bragg Healthy
Energy Smoothie  (page 122) or eat fresh fruit. Remember organically grown
is healthier  and is the ideal nourishment for early morning because fruit
requires the smallest amount of digestion. The natural sugars of fresh fruit
provide you with more and better blood sugar energy than any amount of
eggs, meat, toast, donuts or coffee. Your body needs blood sugar to operate
properly and a healthy person produces about  ½ thimble-full daily. Thisblood sugar is what powers your muscles. Fruits are light and don’t require
the tremendous amount of nervous energy to digest that heavy foods
require! We have seen people banish physical problems after going on the
“no heavy breakfast” plan, combined with a healthy diet with plenty of
fresh organic fruits and vegetables and fresh juices and some faithful
fasting!
Health Miracles are Within Your Power
Now you have a complete overview of The Toxicless Diet, Body
Purification and Healing System : the “no heavy breakfast” plan (only fruit
or the Healthy Energy Smoothie, page 122), a water -only fast 1 day weekly
and progressively adding more fresh fruits and raw or lightly cooked
vegetables to your diet. When you reach the point where you have fully
embraced these principles, the New You will appear! You will feel
completely different! You will have more energy, endurance and go-power!
You will sleep easier and wake well-rested after sleep. Those nagging aches
and pains that have troubled you will fade away. Your eyes will become
clearer and your skin more youthful. These are the rewards you will receive
when following Mother Nature and living by her wise laws!
Nutrition directly affects growth, development, reproduction, well-being of an individual’ s physical
