	to	place? Might	it
be	possible	that	cancer	is	largely	due	to	environmental/lifestyle	factors,	and
not	genetics? A	few	prominent	scientists	had	already	reached	that	conclusion. The	authors	of	a	major	review	on	diet	and	cancer,	prepared	for	the	U.S.
Congress	in	1981,	estimated	that	genetics	only	determines	about
2-3%	of	the
total	cancer	risk
. 4
The	data	behind	the	China	cancer	atlas	were	profound. The	counties	with
the	highest	rates	of	some	cancers	were	more	than	100	times	greater	than
counties	with	the	lowest	rates	of	these	cancers. These	are	truly	remarkable
figures. By	way	of	comparison,	we	in	the	U.S.	see,	at	most,	two	to	three	times
the	cancer	rates	from	one	part	of	the	country	to	another. In	fact,	very	small	and	relatively	unimportant	differences	in	cancer	rates
make	big	news,	big	money	and	big	politics. There	has	been	a	long-standing
story	in	my	state	of	New	York	about	the	increased	rates	of	breast	cancer	in
Long	Island. Large	amounts	of	money	(about	$30	million
3
)	and	years	and
years	of	work	have	been	spent	examining	the	issue. What	sorts	of	rates	were
causing	such	a	furor? Two	counties	in	Long	Island	had	rates	of	breast	cancer
only	10–20%	higher	than	the	state	average. This	difference	was	enough	to
make	front-page	news,	scare	people	and	move	politicians	to	action. Contrast
this	with	the	findings	in	China	where	some	parts	of	the	country	had	cancer
rates	100	times	(10,000%)	higher	than	others. Because	China	is	relatively	homogenous	genetically,	it	was	clear	that	these
differences	had	to	be	explained	by	environmental	causes. This	raised	a
number	of	critical	questions:
Why	was	cancer	so	high	in	some	rural	Chinese	counties	and	not	inothers? Why	were	these	differences	so	incredibly	large? Why	was	overall	cancer,	in	the	aggregate,	less	common	in	China	than	in
the	U.S.? The	more	Dr.	Chen	and	I	talked,	the	more	we	wished	that	we	had	a
snapshot	in	time	of	the	dietary	and	environmental	conditions	in	rural	China. If
only	we	could	look	into	these	people’s	lives,	note	what	they	eat,	how	they
live,	what	is	in	their	blood	and	their	urine	and	how	they	die. If	only	we	could
construct	a	picture	of	their	experience	with	unprecedented	clarity	and	detail	so
that	we	could	study	it	for	years	to	come. If	we	could	do	that,	we	might	be	able
to	offer	some	answers	to	our	“why”	questions. Occasionally	science,	politics	and	financing	come	together	in	a	way	that
allows	a	truly	extraordinary	study	to	take	place. This	happened	for	us,	and	we
got	the	opportunity	to	do	everything	we	wanted,	and	more. We	were	able	to
create	the	most	comprehensive	snapshot	of	diet,	lifestyle	and	disease	ever
taken.PULLING	IT	TOGETHER
We	assembled	a	world-class	scientific	team. There	was	Dr.	Chen,	who	was
the	deputy	director	of	the	most	significant	government	diet	and	health
research	laboratory	in	all	of	China. We	enlisted	Dr.	Junyao	Li,	one	of	the
authors	of	the
Cancer	Atlas	Survey
	and	a	key	scientist	in	China’s	Academy	of
Medical	Sciences	in	the	Ministry	of	Health. The	third	member	was	Richard
Peto	of	Oxford	University. Considered	one	of	the	premier	epidemiologists	in
the	world,	Peto	has	since	been	knighted	and	has	received	several	awards	for
cancer	research. I	rounded	out	the	team	as	the	Project	Director. Everything	was	coming	together. It	was	to	be	the	first	major	research
project	between	China	and	the	United	States. We	cleared	the	necessary
funding	hurdles,	weathering	both	CIA	intrusiveness	and	Chinese	government
reticence. We	were	on	our	way. We	decided	to	make	the	study	as	comprehensive	as	possible. From	the
Cancer	Atlas,
	we	had	access	to	disease	mortality	rates	on	more	than
four
dozen	different	kinds	of	disease,	including	individual	cancers,	heart	diseases
and	infectious	diseases. 6
	We	gathered	data	on	367	variables	and	then
compared	each	variable	with	every	other	variable. We	went	into	sixty-five
counties	across	China	and	administered	questionnaires	and	blood	tests	on
6,500	adults. We	took	urine	samples,	directly	measured	everything	families
ate	over	a	three-day	period	and	analyzed	food	samples	from	marketplaces
around	the	country. The	sixty-five	counties	selected	for	the	study	were	located	in	rural	to	semi-
rural	parts	of	China. This	was	intentionally	done	because	we	wanted	to	study
people	who	mostly	lived	and	ate	food	in	the	same	area	for	most	of	their	lives. This	was	a	successful	strategy,	as	we	were	to	learn	than	an	average	of	90-94%
of	the	adult	subjects	in	each	county	still	lived	in	the	same	county	where	they
were	born. When	we	were	done	we	had
more	than	8,000	statistically	significant
associations
	between	lifestyle,	diet	and	disease	variables. We	had	a	study	that
was	unmatched	in	terms	of	comprehensiveness,	quality	and	uniqueness. We
had	what	the
New	York	Times
	termed	“the	Grand	Prix	of	epidemiology.”	In
short,	we	had	created	that	revealing	snapshot	of	time	that	we	had	originally
envisioned. This	was	the	perfect	opportunity	to	test	the	principles	that	we	discovered
in	the	animal	experiments. Were	the	findings	in	the	lab	going	to	be	consistent
with	the	human	experience	in	the	real	world? Were	our	discoveries	on
aflatoxin-induced	liver	cancer	in	rats	going	to	apply	to	other	types	of	cancer
and	other	types	of	diseases	in	humans?FOR	MORE	INFORMATION
We	take	great	pride	in	the	comprehensiveness	and	quality	of	the	China
Study. To	see	why,	read
Appendix	B	on	page	353
. You’ll	find	a	more
complete	discussion	of	the	basic	design	and	characteristics	of	the	study.THE	CHINESE	DIETARY	EXPERIENCE
Critical	to	the	importance	of	the	China	Study	was	the	nature	of	the	diet
consumed	in	rural	China. It	was	a	rare	opportunity	to	study	health-related
effects	of	a	mostly	plant-based	diet. In	America,	15-16%	of	our	total	calories	comes	from	protein	and	upwards
of	80%	of	this	amount	comes	from	animal-based	foods. But	in
rural	China
only	9-10%	of	total	calories	comes	from	protein	and	only	10%	of	the	protein
comes	from	animal-based	foods. This	means	that	there	are	major	nutritional
differences	in	the	Chinese	and	American	diets,	as	shown	in

powerful	among	them	have	yearly	budgets	in	the	hundreds	of	millions	of
dollars. These	food	companies	and	associations	use	whatever	methods	they	can	to
enhance	their	products’	appeal	and	grow	their	market. One	way	to	accomplish
this	is	to	claim	nutritional	benefits	for	the	food	products	they	sell. At	the	same
time,	these	companies	and	associations	must	protect	their	products	from	being
considered	unhealthy. If	a	product	is	linked	to	cancer	or	some	other	disease,
profits	and	revenue	will	evaporate. So	food	business	interests	need	to	claim
that	their	product	is	good	for	you,	or,	at	least,	that	it’s	not	bad	for	you. In	this
process,	the	“science”	of	nutrition	becomes	the	“business”	of	marketing. THE	AIRPORT	CLUB
While	I	was	getting	the	China	Study	off	the	ground,	I	learned	of	a	committee
of	seven	prominent	research	scientists	who	had	been	retained	by	the	animal-
based	foods	industry	(the	National	Dairy	Council	and	the	American	Meat
Institute)	to	keep	tabs	on	any	research	projects	in	the	U.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: What is the main issue with the Nurses' Health Study, according to the author?,
A: The study is flawed because it does not consider the impact of a whole diet and focuses on individual nutrients, which is misleading and can lead to incorrect conclusions.
Q: What is the author's opinion on the Harvard researchers' approach to studying diet and disease?,
A: The author disagrees with the Harvard researchers' approach, stating that it is flawed and misleading, as it does not consider the context of the entire diet and only focuses on individual nutrients.
Q: What is the main issue with the Airport Club, as mentioned in the text?,
A: The Airport Club is a group of scientists who work for the dairy industry and have a vested interest in promoting their products, which can lead to biased and misleading research.
Q: What is the author's criticism of the reductionist approach in science?,
A: The author argues that reductionism is a flawed approach, as it ignores the context and only focuses on individual nutrients, which can lead to incorrect conclusions and mislead the public.
Q: What is the author's opinion on the role of the government in promoting healthy eating habits?,
A: The author believes that the government should be promoting a healthy diet and lifestyle, rather than simply providing vague recommendations, and that they have failed to do so.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Relative
to	total	calorie	intake,	only	5–6%	dietary	protein	is	required	to	replace	the
protein	regularly	excreted	by	the	body	(as	amino	acids). About	9–10%
protein,	however,	is	the	amount	that	has	been	recommended	for	the	past	fifty
years	to	be	assured	that	most	people	at	least	get	their	5–6%	“requirement.”
This	9–10%	recommendation	is	equivalent	to	the	well-known	recommended
daily	allowance,	or	RDA. 5
Almost	all	Americans	exceed	this	9–10%	recommendation;	we	consume
protein	within	the	range	of	about	11–21%,	with	an	average	of	about	15–16%. 6
The	relatively	few	people	consuming	more	than	21%	protein	mostly	are	those
who	“pump	iron,”	recently	joined	by	those	on	high-protein	diets. It	is	extremely	puzzling	that	these	new	government-sponsored	2002	FNB
recommendations	now	say	that	we	should	be	able	to	consume	protein	up	to
the	extraordinary	level	of	35%	as	a	means	of	minimizing	chronic	diseases	like
cancer	and	heart	disease. This	is	an	unbelievable	travesty,	considering	the
scientific	evidence. The	evidence	presented	in	this	book	shows	that	increasing
dietary	protein	within	the	range	of	about	10–20%	is	associated	with	a	broad
array	of	health	problems,	especially	when	most	of	the	protein	is	from	animal
sources. As	reviewed	earlier	in	this	book,	diets	with	more	animal-based	protein	will
create	higher	blood	cholesterol	levels	and	higher	risks	of	atherosclerosis,
cancer,	osteoporosis,	Alzheimer’s	disease	and	kidney	stones,	to	name	just	a
few	chronic	diseases	that	the	FNB	committee	mysteriously	chooses	to	ignore. Furthermore,	the	FNB	panel	had	the	audacity	to	say	that	this	10–35%
recommendation	range	is	the	same	as	previous	reports. Their	press	release
clearly	states,	“protein	intake	recommendations	are	the	same	[as	previous
reports].”
I	know	of	no	report	that	has	even	remotely	suggested	a	level	as	high
as	this. When	I	initially	saw	this	protein	recommendation,	I	honestly	thought
that
it	was	a	printing	error. But,	no,	it	was	correct. I	know	several	of	the	people	on
the	panel	who	wrote	this	report	and	decided	to	give	them	a	ring. The	first
panel	member,	a	long-time	acquaintance,	said	this	was	the	first	time	he	had
even	heard	about	the	35%	protein	limit! He	suggested	that	this	protein
recommendation	might	have	been	drafted	in	the	last	days	of	preparing	the
report. He	also	told	me	that	there	was	little	discussion	of	the	evidence	on
protein,	for	or	against	a	high	consumption	level,	although	he	recollected	there
being	some	pro-Atkins	sympathy	on	the	committee. He	had	not	worked	in	the
protein	area,	so	he	did	not	know	the	literature. In	any	event,	this	importantrecommendation	slipped	through	the	panel	without	much	notice	and	made	the
first	sentence	of	the	FNB	news	release! The	second	panel	member,	a	long-time	friend	and	colleague,	was	a
subcommittee	chair	during	the	latter	part	of	the	panel’s	existence. He	is	not	a
nutritional	scientist	and	also	was	surprised	to	hear	my	concerns	about	the
upper	limit	for	protein. He	did	not	recall	much	discussion	on	the	topic	either. When	I	reminded	him	of	some	of	the	evidence	linking	high-animal	protein
diets	to	chronic	disease,	he	initially	was	a	little	defensive. But	with	a	little
more	persistence	on	my	part	about	the	evidence,	he	finally	said,	“Colin,	you
know	that	I	really	don’t	know	anything	about	nutrition.”	How,	then,	was	he	a
member—let	alone	the	chair—of	this	important	subcommittee? And	it	gets
worse. The	chair	of	the	standing	committee	on	the	evaluation	of	these
recommendations	left	the	panel	shortly	before	its	completion	for	a	senior
executive	position	in	a	very	large	food	company—a	company	that	will
salivate	over	these	new	recommendations.A	SUGARCOATED	REPORT
The	recommendation	on	added	sugar	is	as	outrageous	as	the	one	for	protein. At	about	the	time	this	FNB	report	was	being	released,	an	expert	panel	put
together	by	the	WHO	(World	Health	Organization)	and	the	FAO	(Food	and
Agriculture	Organization)	was	completing	a	new	report	on	diet,	nutrition	and
the	prevention	of	chronic	diseases. Professor	Phillip	James,	another	friend	of
mine,	was	a	member	of	this	panel	and	a	panel	spokesperson	on	the	added
sugar	recommendation. Early	rumors	of	the	report’s	findings	indicated	that
the	WHO/FAO	was	on	the	verge	of	recommending	an	upper	safe	limit	of	10%
for	added	sugar,	far	lower	than	the	25%	established	by	the	American	FNB
group. Politics,	however,	had	early	entered	the	discussion,	as	it	had	done	in
earlier	reports	on	added	sugars. 7

 legumes,
grains, seeds, tree saps, flowers, herbs, fungi, honey, milk,
cheese, eggs, and meat. The diet must be omnivorous or lacto-vegetarian, and it may be derived from both the land
and sea. Domestic foods will form the basis for the diet under
present conditions. Edible wild plants are not essential, but
they do represent accessory foods which can add significantly
to the pleasure and nutritive value of the diet. In terms of total composition, the uncooked diet is thus easy to select, simple
to balance, and available to everyone living under modern
conditions of food production and distribution. 9
RAW FOOD IN PREPARATION
AND USE
THE PREPARATION of raw food is the most important part of
the culinary art. In the usual cookbook, information on this
subject is restricted almost entirely to the preparation of
salads, and even here many cooked ingredients and irritating condiments often enter the recipes. For those undertaking the
maximum possible use of raw foods, much more knowledge
is required. Salads comprise only a limited part of the total
intake of food in the uncooked dietary. If we are to achieve
maximum benefit from our meals, all other methods of raw food preparation must also be considered. With adequate knowledge covering every phase of this subject, uncooked foods may be prepared easily and quickly. The meals will be
tasty, appetizing, and completely satisfying to the most sensitive palate. B
ASIC METHODS
   The first step in the preparation of raw plant foods is
thorough washing. This does not mean that vegetables should be soaked in water, for soaking causes some nutrients to pass
into the water, which is then discarded. Green leaves should
be washed quickly but thoroughly. Fruits and leaves which
have been sprayed with insecticides require special attention,
and should be given a more prolonged cleaning, even though this will not remove all spray residue. Root vegetables should
be well scrubbed, but the peelings should not be removed
unless they are tough or bitter or too rough to permit
satisfactory cleaning. After cleansing, the methods of raw food preparation may
involve chopping, grating, grinding, pulverizing, mixing,
liquefying, blending, churning, juicing, and freezing. These may be accomplished by hand or by machine methods. This
means that in the kitchen the cookstove will be supplemented
or replaced by appliances designed specifically for the preparation of raw foods. The chopping board, salad bowl,
ice cream freezer, fruit juicer, food grinder, food grater, food
shredder, and chopping knife will be employed as needed. These can be supplemented or largely replaced by the electric
juicer, electric blender, electric shredder, electric mixer, and electric freezer for those who prefer the time-saving and
work-saving efficiency of modern technical appliances. The electric vegetable juicer is one of the most useful
appliances for the kitchen. A number of different types of
such juicers have been manufactured and are readily available
in kitchen-appliance shops. The electric juicer enables you to
make many delicious juices, not only from vegetables, but
also from such fruits as melons, peaches, pears, apples, and
berries. The juices can be made in just a few minutes and
taken in their pure form or mixed in various combinations as
may be considered more palatable. The pulp resulting from the juicing process may be discarded or it may be used in
making additions to salads. Juices are also available on a commercial scale, and some
firms maintain a special delivery service to bring the juices
right to the housekeeper's doorstep. While this represents a
definite convenience to some, and is indeed an absolute
necessity for a few, it does not represent the ideal method of obtaining juices. Much of the flavor and most of the enzymes
in juices are lost within 30 minutes after they are made, and
the very peak of palatability and nutritive value is obtained if
the juices are consumed immediately after being extracted. There is no method of delaying this flavor-destroying oxidation, so we must be prepared to accept some loss in
palatability in all commercial fruit and vegetable juices which
have been prepared long before consumption. Whenever
possible, juices should be extracted immediately to individual order, whether in the sanitarium, the restaurant, or the home. Of all implements for use in preparing raw foods, none is of
more all-around value than the electric blender, or liquefier-blender, as it is also called. This machine consists of a small
electric motor in an enclosed  base and a covered quart
container on the base. Four or more blades in the container make thousands of revolutions per minute and instantly cut
all food into fine pieces, mix it with a liquid base, and blend
all ingredients together into a smooth, delicious preparation. Actually the machine may replace many other common
kitchen implements. It will chop, grate, and grind as well as
mix, liquefy, blend, and churn. With the electric blender you can make the most delicious
salad dressings, sauces, puddings, nut milks, and beverages of
all kinds entirely from raw ingredients. All that is needed in
most cases is a liquid base with such solid ingredients as may
be chosen. Such foods as bananas, avocados, and other soft
fruits will semi-liquefy into a smooth consistency with no other base than the fruit itself. Salad dressin
gs are perfectl y emulsified in the blender, and sauces and puddings may be
made with the same ingredients as the beverages except that
the proportion of liquid in relation to solids is reduced in
quantity. Apples, cranberries, and some other fruits are converted instantly into the most delicious sauces. A
combination of fruit juice and nuts or nut butter is quickly
converted into a rich, smooth cream or milk-like drink. A
mixture of fruit juice and crushed ice is turned into the finest
sherbet or frappe. Vegetables are ground up with a liquid base into a semi-liquid salad. Any food may be converted into a
puree suitable for infant feeding or for anyone who cannot
easily chew solid food due to dental defects. All of these
things, and indeed more, may be accomplished with the
electric blender. For the person preparing raw foods in a varied manner, this machine is truly indispensable in saving
time and work. It may be accepted that practically all methods of food
preparation which involve a significant change in the physical
state of foods may permit oxidation and thus induce loss of
nutritive factors. Such losses, however, are relatively small
and do not render the food unsuitable for moderate use. Fruit
juices and vegetable juices, as well as various foods prepared
in the electric blender, appear in practice to retain their basic
vital effects upon the human system, and some have been
used with very remarkable success on a therapeutic basis. Consequently they are all quite valuable in any diet and may form an integral part of the uncooked regime. It may be
pointed out, however, that they should not be used to the
exclusion of unchanged foods except under special conditions for a limited period of time. The teeth and gums need
exercise from chewing hard, crisp foods, and these should be
included liberally in the normal dietary regime. The
preparation of raw foods, as with the grinder, juicer, blender,
or other appliances, may be considered useful and practical as a means of improving the variety, palatability, and enjoyment
of the diet, but it should be used within normal limitations such as common sense will dictate. H
OW TO SPROUT GRAINS AND LEGUMES
   As sprouted grains and legum es are useful additions to the
uncooked diet, methods for their preparation and use become
important. Mung bean, soy bean, and alfalfa sprouts are
occasionally developed and marketed, but others must at present usually be made in the home. To sprout any seed, it
need only be kept moist and warm. Within a few days the
sprouting process is well developed. A common commercial
method is to soak the seeds in te
pid water for 24 hours and then place them in an incubator held at about 120 degrees F. for 48 hours or longer. In the home, seeds can be sprouted by
soaking them overnight and placing them in a sterilized
colander or any other sterilized container that has holes for drainage. They are then flooded with lukewarm water three to
six times each day. An ordinary flowerpot may be converted
into a sprouter simply by screening the hole at the bottom. The screen keeps the seeds in the pot and permits all water to
run out, thus assuring good drainage. You can also put your seeds in an ordinary glass casserole. After they are flooded
with water, simply place cover on casserole, and tip so as to
permit water to run from the outlet. Another popular method
for the home is the fruit jar method. The seeds are placed in
the jar, and a piece of cheesecloth is fastened on the top and held in place with a rubber band. If an open screw top is
available, this may simply be turned on the jar, over the
cheesecloth, thus replacing the rubber band. Or for a still
more practical sprouter, a permanent screen may be fastened
over the open screw top. After the seeds are soaked overnight in the jar, simply invert the jar to remove the water. You can
then pour additional water through the cheesecloth three or
more times each day, and remove


urther understood and tested; we may hope to find them in hospitals and sanitariums in t he treatment of disease. In order to
reverse the disease process, we must consider Hering’s law of cure, which states that all diseases are cured from within out,  from
the head down and in reverse order as their symptoms first appeared in the body. This me ans we have to return over the same
‘track” we traveled to get the disease. No disease can exist without toxic material in the body, so the first step toward rem ission is
detoxification. To administer drugs in response to a disease condition brought on by  toxic accumulations can only add to the problem. Although
temporary relief may be obtained, the residual drug settlement will, over the long term, simply increase the toxic burden of the
body. Please remember that this program is designed to be part of a preventive health care system in which the results of bad habits
may begin to be reversed. No good results of lasting quality will be had as long as destructive habits are continued. This pr ogram
is for the person who is wanting and willing to start over a new. Taking up the life -generating practices marks the beginning of a
new day toward the harvest of renewed health and vitality. Throughout this book, we have stressed the importance of cleanline ss
as the vehicle by which health is regained and maintained. The degree to which the colon is inhabited by harmful bacteria,
parasites and other dangerous organisms varies greatly among individuals. What one person is able to hold in the bowel withou t
obvious effects may be hazardous to others. SANITATION & CLEANL INESS IMPORTANT NOTE
Contamination by one individual of another must be avoided. This important point is best accomplished by each person having
their own personal colema board and tip. DO NOT ALLOW ANOTHER PERSON TO USE YOUR BOARD OR TIP UNLESS
THE EQUIPM ENT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY STERILIZED. Microscopic organisms are very easily transferred to the colon by the use of unclean colema rectal tips. Store your rectal ti p in a
bottle of germicidal solution when not in use. Sterilize the interior tube to which the  rectal tube is attached before use to ensure
against infection. We have endeavored to make this system as easy as possible to keep clean by making it simple and
uncomplicated. Thorough cleansing of the board after each use is essential to avoiding complic ations. It is very important that this instruction be adhered to for your health and wellbeing. Do not be lax In this regard. One of the nice
advantages of this system is that colonic debris never flows back through the colema tubing, as occurs in nearly all commercially
available colonic irrigation equipment. In this way, contamination is kept to a safe minimum. It is a good idea to occasional ly
cleanse the hoses of the colema by running a germicidal solution through the bucket and tubing to cleanse the p assageways of any
possible infestations. Also, always keep a protective lid on the colema bucket to avoid settlement of hair, dust, dirt or oth er
contamination into the bucket. Always thoroughly rinse the bucket before and after each use. Another importa nt consideration that you should be aware of is the quality of your water supply. Contaminated water can cause
severe bowel distress. If you are working with well water in your colema, it is a good idea to make certain the water is safe  for
colonic irrigat ion by having it tested at your local health certification agency.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        Bacillus
coli is considered to be the king of the court, providing the most offensive reactions. There are many others. The opportunit y to
have such a guest is faci litated today because of the dietary habits and quality of foods we are using. Flatulence is produced largely
by these organisms. Their chemical reactions are hazardous to the well -being of the body. These substances are very toxic. Very
small amounts of s pecific compounds can produce bizarre reactions in the body. They cause disharmony in the body, chasing away
the life force. They are hazardous to living’ organisms, constantly occupied in breaking down tissue and reorganizing it. The
average bowel provide s an ideal environment in which these organisms flourish. We have unwittingly provided the breeding
ground on a mass scale by the lifestyles we live. Basically, Western man through the use of technology has so adultered his f ood
that it no longer promotes the friendly bacteria, rather it nourishes the destructive bacteria. Bacillus coli prefer an alkaline
environment, with protein for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A dark, warm, moist place rounds out their habitat. Undigested pro tein
reaching the colon is pe rfect food for these bacteria; they thrive on it. We literally feed them and promote their growth this
way. Meat in particular provides this medium. When these conditions are met, and it doesn’t take long, we are opening the doo rs
for guests of this sort. They can invite most chronic diseases man is aware of. They are not good boarders. They are always taking
more than their share and never pay the rent. They are not easily evicted and oftentimes claim the whole house from its landl ord. How can we best avo id these things. Ideally, we should never get into this situation. Bowel hygiene should be taught at an early
age by our parents. It should be common knowledge and our government should be made responsible to see to it that it is part of
our educational sy stem. Those practices and processes that contribute to degeneration should be avoided, and those who promote
such abuses should be re -educated. Until such an ideal is realized, we must deal with the problem the best way we are able
according to our individ ual beliefs and morality. We can begin with a total cleansing of body tissues in as much as the art has
progressed. Releasing the grip of toxic substances in the body is no small task. It takes work and perseverance, a willingnes s to
release the old and em brace the new. Fasting, elimination diets, enemas, colonics, herbs, massage and all the healing arts are in
one way or another trying to do the same thing; release from the body some undesirable substance whether it be a negative
attitude, spastic muscle o r lead accumulation, those things that cause disharmony in the body. Bowel cleansing is an essential element in any lasting healing program. The toxic waste must be removed as quickly as possibl e to
halt the downward spiral of failing health. This is best  done by (1) removing accumulated fecal material from the bowel; (2)
changing the diet from a toxin -producing process to that of an elimination and cleansing diet; (3) fasting; (4) colonic flushing with
enemas or colonic irrigations; and (5) cleansing the mind of old habit patterns. This sounds like a big order to handle, but it
shouldn’t be at all. Going slowly but surely in the right direction is the main successful ingredient. Don’t try to do it all  at once. Too much change too fast causes disorientation, a disease known as future shock. It is best accomplished by surrounding yourself with the right people - people who are knowledgeable about these things and have
your best interest at heart. A disagreeable, uncooperating spouse or parent can be a major roadblock to success. It may require
changes in your life that go very deep. Many people give up rather than change, and ride out the consequences of their decisi on the
rest of their lives. Once the toxic environment in the colon has been purged by cleans ing and elimination; the diet corrected; and all efforts directed
toward balance, the body will begin to respond by deeper cleansing of all tissues. The elimination reactions brought on by
cleansing, proper and vital nourishment and a change in attitude ar e a vital part of the rejuvenation process. As this process
proceeds, the house is being prepared to receive new guests. Slowly, but surely, the bowel flora will change with constant
encouragement. The once alkaline, high protein, putrefactive environment will change over into one of cleanliness and sweetness,
where peace and harmony reign. IN SEARCH OF THE I ACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS
Throughout known history, man has been enjoying the benefits of a particular food renowned for its health qualities. It prov ides, in
part, substance to every good aspect of human health. It gives endurance, vitality, strength, long life and cheerfulness. It responds
wonderfully in the digestive system, promoting every good quality of a healthy bowel. This food is soured milk. B acterial action in
the milk produces a chemical reaction which digests the milk substances, and makes them an ideal food for the human body. The
bacteria that cause this reaction to occur are known as lactobacillus, acidophilus, bulgaricus, brevius and sal iveria. There are
others, but these are the most widely known. These are the friendly bacteria to the human body. They provide many wonderful
qualities for the organism. First of all, where they live abundantly, the other kind do not or cannot. The acidoph ilus gets its name
from the fact that it loves an acid environment. An acid bowel environment is one’s best defense against unfriendly bacteria. When
we provide a favorable environment for the acidophilus, we are at the same time wiping out the breeding


 spy, and her name is Ra -
hab. The word Rahab simply means the spirit of the father. RAH means
the breath or spirit, and AB the father. Hence we find that this harlot is
the spirit of the father and the father is man's awareness of being aware,
man's I Amness, man's consciousness. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenYour capacity to feel is the great spirit of the father, and that capacity is
Rahab in this story. She has two professions that of a spy and that of a
harlot. The profession of a spy is this: to travel secretly, to travel so quietly that
you may not be detected. There is not a single physical spy in this world
who can travel so quietly that he will be altogether unseen by others. He
may be very wise in concealing his ways, and he may never be truly ap -
prehended, but at every moment of time he runs the risk of being detect -
ed. When you are sitting quietly with your thoughts, there is no man in the
world so wise that he can look at you and tell you where you are mentally
dwelling. I can stand here and place myself in London. Knowing London quite well,
I can close my eyes and assume that I am actually standing in London. If
I remain within this state long enough, I will be able to surround myself
with the environment of London as though it were a solid concrete objec -
tive fact. Physically I am still here, but mentally I am thousands of miles away and
I have made elsewhere here. I do not go there as a spy, I mentally make
elsewhere here, and then now. You cannot see me dwelling there, so you
think I have just gone to sleep and that I am still here in this world, this
three-dimensional world that is now San Francisco. As far as I am physi -
cally concerned, I am here but no one can tell me where I am when I en -
ter the moment of meditation. Rahab's next profession was that of a harlot, which is to grant unto men
what they ask of her without asking man's right to ask. If she be an abso -
lute harlot, as her name implies, then she possesses all and can grant all
that man asks of her. She is there to serve, and not to question man's
right to seek what he seeks of her. You have within you the capacity to appropriate a state without knowing
the means that will be employed to realize that end and you assume the
feeling of the wish fulfilled without having any of the talents that men
claim you must possess in order to do so. When you appropriate it in con -
sciousness you have employed the spy, and because you can embody that
state within yourself by actually giving it to yourself, you are the harlot,
for the harlot satisfies the man who seeks her. You can satisfy self by appropriating the feeling that you are what you
want to be. And this assumption though false, that is, although reason
and the senses deny it, if persisted in will harden into fact. By actually
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenembodying that which you have assumed you are, you have the capacity
to become completely satisfied. Unless it becomes a tangible, concrete re -
ality you will not be satisfied; you will be frustrated. You are told in this story that when Rahab went into the city to conquer it,
the command given to her was to enter the heart of the city, the heart of
the matter, the very center of it, and there remain until I come. Do not go
from house to house, do not leave the upper room of the house into
which you enter. If you leave the house and there be blood upon your
head, it is upon your head. But if you do not leave the house and there be
blood, it shall be upon my head. Rahab goes into the house, rises to the upper floor, and there she remains
while the walls crumble. That is, we must keep a high mood if we would
walk with the highest. In a very veiled manner, the story tells you that
when the walls crumbled and Joshua entered, the only one who was
saved in the city was the spy and the harlot whose name was Rahab. This story tells what you can do in this world. You will never lose the ca -
pacity to place yourself elsewhere and make it here. You will never lose
the ability to give unto yourself what you are bold enough to appropriate
as true of self. It has nothing to do with the woman who played that part. The explanation of the crumbling of the walls is simple. You are told that
he blew upon the trumpet seven times and at the seventh blast the walls
crumbled and he entered victoriously into the state that he sought. Seven is a stillness, a rest, the Sabbath. It is the state when man is com -
pletely unmoved in his conviction that the thing is. When I can assume
the feeling of my wish fulfilled and go to sleep, unconcerned, undisturbed,
I am at rest mentally, and am keeping the Sabbath or am blowing the
trumpet seven times. And when I reach that point the walls crumble. Cir -
cumstances alter then remold themselves in harmony with my assump -
tion. As they crumble I resurrect that which I have appropriated within. Section summary:

It could be you wake up and it's just there. It's manifested. Or,
you might get some inspired idea of some action to take. You
certainly shouldn't be saying, "Well, I could do it this way,
but man, I would hate that." You're not on the right track if
that's the case. How to Use the Secret 55
Action will sometimes be required, but if you're really doing
it in line with what the Universe is trying to bring to you, it's
going to feel joyous. You're going to feel so alive. Time will
just stop. You could do it all day. Action is a word that can imply "work" to some people, but in-
spired action will not feel like work at all. The difference between
inspired action and action is this: Inspired action is when you are
acting to receive. If you are in action to try and make it happen,
you have slipped backward. Inspired action is effortless, and it
feels wonderful because you are on the frequency of receiving. Imagine life as a fast-moving riven When you are acting to make
something happen it will feel as if you are going against the current
of the river. It will feel hard and like a struggle. When you are act-
ing to receive from the Universe, you will feel as if you are flowing
with the current of the river. It will feel effortless. That is the feel-
ing of inspired action, and of being in the flow of the Universe and
life. Sometimes you will not even be aware you used "action" until
after you've received, because the acting felt so good. You will then
look back and see the wonder and matrix of how the Universe car-
ried you to what you wanted, and also brought what you wanted
to you. DR. JOE VlTALE
The Universe likes speed. Don't delay. Don't second guess. Don't doubt. When the opportunity is there, when the impulse 56 The Secret
is there, when the intuitive nudge from within is there, act. That's your job. And that's all you have to do. Trust your instincts. It's the Universe inspiring you. It's the Universe
communicating with you on the receiving frequency. If you have an
intuitive or instinctive feeling, follow it, and you will find that the
Universe is magnetically moving you to receive what you asked for. BOB PROCTOR
You will attract everything that you require. If it's money you
need you will attract it. If it's people you need you'll attract
it. If it's a certain book you need you'll attract it. You've got
to pay attention to what you're attracted to, because as you
hold images of what you want, you're going to be attracted to
things and they're going to be attracted to you. But it literally
moves into physical reality with and through you. And it does
that by law. Remember that you are a magnet, attracting everything to you. When you have gotten clear in your mind about what you want
you have become a magnet to draw those things to you, and those
things you want are magnetized to you in return. The more you
practice and begin to see the law of attraction bringing things to
you, the greater the magnet you will become, because you will add
the power of faith, belief, and knowing. MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
You can start with nothing, and out of nothing and out of no
way, a way will be made. How to Use the Secret 57
All you require is You, and your ability to think things into being. Everything that has been invented and created throughout the
history of humankind began with one thought. From that one
thought a way was made, and it manifested from the invisible
into the visible. JACK CANFIELD
Think of a car driving through the night The headlights only
go a hundred to two hundred feet forward, and you can make
it all the way from California to New York driving through
the dark, because all you have to see is the next two hundred
feet. And that's how life tends to unfold before us. If we just
trust that the next two hundred feet will unfold after that,
and the next two hundred feet will unfold after that, your
life will keep unfolding. And it will eventually get you to
the destination of whatever it is you truly want, because you
want it. Trust the Universe. Trust and believe and have faith. I truly had no
idea how I was going to bring the knowledge of The Secret onto
the movie screen. I just held to the outcome of the vision, I saw the
outcome clearly in my mind, I felt it with all my might, and every-
thing that we needed to create The Secret came to us. "Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see
the whole staircase. Just take the first step." Let's look at using the Creative Process for those who feel they are
overweight and who want to lose weight. The first thing to know is that if you focus on losing weight, you
will attract back having to lose more weight so get "having to lose
weight" out of your mind. It's the very reason why diets don't
work. Because you are focused on losing weight, you must attract
back continually having to lose weight. The second thing to know is that the condition of being over
weight was created through your thought to it. To put it in the most
basic terms, if someone is overweight, it came from thinking "fat
thoughts/' whether that person was aware of it or not. A person can
not think "thin thoughts" and be fat. It completely defies the law of
attraction. Whether people have been told they have a slow thyroid, a slow
metabolism, or their body size is hereditary, these are all disguises
for thinking "fat thoughts." If you accept any of those conditions as
applicable to you, and you believe it, it must become your experi-
ence, and you will continue to attract being overweight. After I had my two daughters I was overweight, and I know it
came from listening to and reading the messages that it is hard to
lose weight after having a baby, and even harder after the second
baby. I summoned exactly that to me with those "fat thoughts," 58 The Secret How to Use the Secret 59
and it became my experience. I really "beefed up," and the more I
noticed how I had "beefed up," the more "beefing up" I attracted. With a small frame, I became a hefty 143 pounds, all because I was
thinking "fat thoughts." The most common thought that people hold, and I held it too, is
that food was responsible for my weight gain. That is a belief that
does not serve you, and in my mind now it is complete balderdash! Food is not responsible for putting on weight. It is your thought that
food is responsible for putting on weight that actually has food put
on weight. Remember, thoughts are primary cause of everything,
and the rest is effects from those thoughts. Think perfect thoughts
and the result must be perfect weight. Let go of all those limiting thoughts. Food cannot cause you to put
on weight unless you think it can. The definition of the perfect weight is the weight that feels good for
you. No one else's opinion counts. It is the weight that feels good
for you. You most likely know of someone who is thin and eats like a horse,
and they proudly declare, "I can eat whatever I want and I am al-
ways the perfect weight." And so the Genie of the Universe says,
"Your wish is my command!" To attract your perfect weight and body using the Creative Process,
follow these steps: 60 The Secret
Get clear on the weight you want to be. Have a picture in your
mind of what you will look like when you have become that per-
fect weight. Get pictures of yourself at your perfect weight, if you
have them, and look at them often. If not, get pictures of the body
you would like to have and look at those often. You must believe you will receive and that the perfect weight is
yours already. You must imagine, pretend, act as if, make-believe,
that the perfect weight is yours. You must see yourself as receiving
that perfect weight. Write out your perfect weight and place it over the readout of your
scale, or don't weigh yourself at all. Do not contradict what you
have asked for with your thoughts, words, and actions. Don't buy
clothes at your current weight. Have faith and focus on the clothes
you are going to buy. Attracting the perfect weight is the same
as placing an order with the catalogue of the Universe. You look
through the catalogue, choose the perfect weight, place your order,
and then it is delivered to you. Make it your intention to look for, admire, and inwardly praise
people with your idea of perfect-weight bodies. Seek them out and How to Use the Secret 61
as you admire them and feel the feelings of that—you are summon-
ing it to you. If you see people who are overweight


 for the year. They still lived on the wild animal game of the land. As in the northern
country just reviewed, their principal large animal was the moose. These are treaty Indians, and
many of them come out to this frontier to obtain the government bounty and, accordingly, were
obliged to bring their families. The bounty here amounted to five dollars per head, a considerable
income in exchange for blankets and other equipment. Some of these contact points were at the
height of the land dividing the waters running north and east to James Bay and Hudson Bay, or
south to Lake Superior. This was historic country that had been the meeting ground of the tribes of
the northern waters with the tribes of the Great Lakes district. Many battles had been fought there. For comparison with these more primitive groups from the Hudson and James Bay watershed, I
had the opportunity here of studying families that had taken up residence along the railroad or in its
vicinity in order that they might have the advantage of exchanging furs for the modern white man's
foods. This gave us an excellent opportunity to study the effects of the modern dietary, of which an
example is shown in Fig. 20. This Indian and his wife had built their bodies before the contact with
the white man. He is about six feet tall. Both the parents had splendid dental arches and well
formed faces. His teeth are shown in Fig. 20 (upper, left). Their two children shown in the
photograph were born after the adoption of the white man's foods brought in by the railroad. Both
are mouth-breathers and both have narrow dental arches and marked underdevelopment of the
middle third of the face. The older girl has tuberculosis. Another adult man is shown in Fig. 20
(upper, right). He, like the generation he represents, has exceptionally fine dental arches and well
developed face.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

three parents were developed before their district was
reached by modern civilization. Note their good physical and
facial form in contrast with the pinched nostrils of the two
children. The oldest girl has tuberculosis. They are the
product of civilization's contact with their primitive parents. At this point we again found many of the younger generation ill with tuberculosis or crippled with
arthritis. Two of these are shown in Fig. 21. FIG. 21. These are typical cripples met at the point of contact of our
modern civilization with the primitive Indians. The boy at the left has
arthritis in nearly all of his joints. He has several abscessed teeth. The
boy at the right has tubercul sis of the spine. For further comparison of the more isolated and more highly modernized groups a study was
made of the Indians in the largest single Indian Reservation in Canada, which is located at
Brantford, Ontario. In this group there are about 4,700 Indians living under highly modernized
conditions provided by the Canadian Government. They live on very fertile land and in close
proximity to a modern Canadian city. Each head of a family is provided with a tract of land from
which he usually has an income sufficient to permit him to have an automobile. They were able to
buy not only necessities and comforts according to the modern standards of the white man, but
many of the luxuries as well. The government provides a well administered hospital and staff.7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 56/250When I asked the Director of this hospital, Dr. Davis, what the principal use of the hospital was at
that time (1933), he said that the demand for beds had completely changed in the twenty-eight
years he had been there. The principal services requested at the hospital in 1933 related to the
problems of maternity. He stated that in his period of contact he had seen three generations of
mothers. The grandmothers of the present generation would take a shawl and either alone or
accompanied by one member of their family retire to the bush and give birth to the baby and return
with it to the cabin. A problem of little difficulty or concern, it seemed. He stated that today the
young mothers of this last generation are brought to his hospital sometimes after they have been in
labor for days.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        One has only to see them carrying their burdens
of peat or to observe the ease with which the fisherwomen on the docks carry their tubs of fish
back from the cleaning table to the tiers of packing barrels to be convinced that these people have
not only been trained to work, but have physiques equal to the task. These studies included the
making of dental examinations, the taking of photographs, the obtaining of samples of saliva for
chemical analysis, the gathering of detailed clinical records, and the collecting of samples of food
for chemical analysis and detailed nutritional data. Communication is very difficult among many of these islands. It would be difficult to find more
complete isolation than some of them afford. We tried to get to the islands of Taransay and Scarpa
on the west coast of the Isle of Harris, but were unable to obtain transportation since the trip can
be made only in special, seaworthy crafts, which will undertake the passage only at certain phases
of the tide and at certain directions of the winds. On one of these islands, we were told, the
growing boys and girls had exceedingly high immunity to tooth decay. Their isolation was so great
that a young woman of about twenty years of age who came to the Isle of Harris from Taransay
Island had never seen milk in any larger quantity than drops. There are no dairy animals on that
island. Their nutrition is provided by their oat products and fish, and by a very limited amount of
vegetable foods. Lobsters and flat fish are a very important part of their foods. Fruits are
practically unknown. Yet the physiques of these people are remarkably fine. It was necessary sometimes for us to engage skilled seamen and their crafts to make a special
trip to some of these isolated islands. These seamen watch critically the tide, wind and sky, and
determine the length of time it will be safe to travel in a certain direction under conditions existing in
the speed of the running tide and the periodic change of the wind. Some of the islands are isolated
by severe weather conditions for many months of the year. These islands have been important in the whaling industry, even up to recent years. We visited a
whaling station on the Isle of Harris, not active at this time, where monsters of the sea were towed
into a deep bay. In the interior of the Isle of Lewis the teeth of the growing boys and girls had a very high degree
of perfection, with only 1. 3 teeth out of every hundred examined that had even been attacked by
dental caries. An important part of the study of these islands was the observations made on conditions at the
fringe of civilization. A typical cross-section of the residents of the seaport town of Stornoway can
be seen assembled on the docks to greet the arrival of the evening boat, the principal event of the
community. The group consists largely of adult young people. In a count of one hundred individuals
appearing to be between the ages of twenty and forty, twenty-five were already wearing artificial
teeth, and as many more would have been more presentable had they too been so equipped. Dental caries was very extensive in the modernized section of Stornoway. Since an important part
of these studies involved a determination of the kinds and quantities of foods eaten, it was
necessary to visit the sources available for purchasing foods in each town studied. In Stornoway,
one could purchase angel food cake, white bread, as snow white as that to be found in any
community in the world, many other white-flour products; also, canned marmalades, canned
vegetables, sweetened fruit juices, jams, confections of every type filled the store windows and
counters. These foods probably made a great appeal both because of their variety and their high
sugar content to the pallets of these primitive people. The difference in physical appearance of the
child life of Stornoway from that of the interior of the Isle of Lewis was striking. We found a family
on the opposite coast of the island where the two boys shown in the upper half of Fig. 6 resided. One had excellent teeth and the other had rampant caries. These boys were brothers eating at the
same table. The older boy, with excellent teeth, was still enjoying primitive food of oatmeal and
oatcake and sea foods with some limited dairy products. The younger boy, seen to the left, had
extensive tooth decay. Many teeth were missing including two in the front. He insisted on having
white bread, jam, highly sweetened coffee and also sweet chocolates. His father told me with deep
concern how difficult it was for this boy to get up in the morning and go to work. 7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

be able to view the living things of this planet in a new and
broader perspective. In this, as in other branches of research, the scope for explora
tion seems as large as the Universe itself. This is not only because
our knowledge of most things is deplorably incomplete but also
110 THE CONT INUING ADVENTUR E
because the organization of the Universe does not preclude
change and development; on the contrary these seem to be in
herent in it. The Universe is not static but almost inconceivably
dynamic with everything in it-from galaxies to atoms-in a
state of constant motion or change. At the outset of this adventure we made the 'primitive as
snmption', based on all the evidence available, that we live in an
ordered Universe. We assumed that order is imposed on the
elementary components of Nature, whether particle or wave, by
means of definite arrangements or patterns of organization which
persist in time and which we can identify. We recognize these
as permanent elements in the environment; we recognize trees
and plants, birds and beasts, monkeys and man. If these patt erns
did not persist any description of the things we see would have
no continuity. On the other hand, we have only to look around to observe
that no particular design, pattern or arrangement of parts ever
appears at the outset full-blown or in its final form; there is
always a developing process. The acorn grows and develops into
an oak tree, never into a fig tree. It is obvious, therefore, that
the laws of Nature do more than develop a pattern: they also
determine the steps by which the pattern evolves, grows and
develops. In other words, there is nothing fixed about the Uni
verse; it is a growing active system. It is a far cry from the most elementary living forms to the
highly complex systems which have evolved from them. There is
a great gap between the simple elements and the complicated,
�iant molecules which have been developed from them not only
by Nature but also by man. Man, in fact, imitates Nature in developing from the simple to
the complex. For instance, he started by cooking and keeping
himself warm with burning sticks; now he has the modern elec
trical kitchen and automatic heating systems. Simple screws and
bolts, gears and wheels are organized into the marvellous tools
and machines of today. And sure1y Henry Ford would he amazed
at the modern automobile which developed from his Model T.
We cannot foresee the ultimate outcome either of Nature's
developments or of man's. This makes the whole process of

adventurous exploration. Yet, from time to time, some pundit will declare with solemn
finality that there is nothing more to be discovered in his par
ticular field of study. And almost invariably he will soon be made
to look foolish by some new discovery or breakthrough which
opens up new areas to explore. We can feel sorry for such self
satisfied people because these rash statements not only betray
their lack of imagination but also show that they have missed
one of the great adventures of life-examining a developing
Universe. We have no right to assume that the present state of the Uni
verse is the final one, because all we know about it is that it has
grown and developed over a vast span of time. And there is no
reason to suppose that that development has come to an end
with our present environment. We cannot know the final end of growth and developm ent,
but at least we can be quite certain that it has an ultimate goal. It is doubtful. however, whether this ultimate goal is a fixed and
final one; more likely, the goal itself develops with time. Perhaps
the present is always moulding the future. For it is impossible to
imagine that any of the material units of our environment are in
final form, because everything we know is developing and grow
ing towards a more perfect realization of the operation of the
basic laws of the Universe. While we can make effective use of
our growing knowledge of these laws, we have no way of pre
dicting what the ultimate outcome will be. 2
In exploring a developing Universe, science's basic aim and
problem is to determine the origin of its design. Science now
knows a lot about the design itself but how it started is still
shrouded in mystery. This central problem of science is of prime
importance, not for mere academic reasons but because if we
could know more about the origin of the Universe we might
know more about how to conduct ourselves and our affairs. 112 THE CONT INUIN G ADVENTURE
At the present time, in the hope of solving that mystery, we
are spending billions of dollars exploring space. The techniques
which have made such explorations possible are almost beyond
description. It is certainly a miraculous developm ent, which may
yield products of practical utility to ma nkind and which, for
this reason, is quite possibly worth the money spent on it. But, so
far, it has contributed little to man's understanding of the world
in which he lives. And, as far as the basic problem of science is
concerned, we are no wiser than we were before the Russians
launched the first sputnik into space. The origin of the Universe
still eludes us. Perhaps it always will. In the meanwhile, however, we can
learn more about something no less important -the forces which
control the unfoLding of the design of the Universe through
growth and developm ent. Of these, the fields of life are perhaps
the most amenable to further study because-as has been shown
in the preceding pages-they exist in all living forms so far
examined and can be measured with great precision in controlled
and repeatable experiments. L-fields, therefore, offer us a new and scientific approach to
some of the methods used by Nature to execute her designs. By studying these methods we can hope to learn more about
the designs themselves, even if we remain unable to solve the
great mystery of their origin. We can hope, too, to gain a
greater understanding of how the designs fit in to the pattern of
the larger designs of the Universe. For, as we noted in the first
chapter, L-fields by their very nature must be influenced by the
all-powerful fields of the Cosmos and must therefore be an integ
ral part of its overall design. Meanwhile, the fact that L-fields are a part of the Cosmic de
sign is compelling evidence that we live in a Universe of law and
order, because they impose design and organization on the con
stantly-changing material components of all living forms. They
compel an acorn to grow into an oak tree-and only an oak
tree; they compel a maize seed to grow into a corn-stalk and not
a stalk of wheat or barley. Anything that compels growth and
development in an organized way is irrefutable evidence of law
and order. 113 THE CONTINU ING ADVENTURE
But the L-fields of this planet are themselves influenced by the
greater fields in which our world is enmeshed, as we found from
the effects of sun-spot activity on the fields of trees. They are
subject, then, to 'higher authority'-so to speak, which compels
them to change in various ways. And, no doubt, the fields that
surround this planet are themselves subject to the greater fields
of space. In other words, L-�dds are links in a 'chain of authority'. This
starts with the simplest living forms, runs upwards through all
the life on this planet to the most complex form we know-man
-and then extends outwards into space and upwards to an
in�nite, ultimate authority, about which we can only speculate. This 'chain of authority', of course, does not apply only to the
fields of life. It must also extend from the heart of the smallest
atom to those gigantic forces which keep the planets in their
orbits, which govern the stars in their courses and which regulate
the feverish race of the most distant galaxies towards the outer
reaches of space. In building living forms, the fields of life override the normal
laws of chemistry and physics. They compel atoms and molecules
to assume-and to retain through constant changes of material
-stable arrangements, which hreak down to simpler compounds
after the death of the form. If it were not for this 'overriding
authority' of the L-fields you and I could not exist in our present
form because the complex molecules of which we are composed
could not build themselves on their own-or by chance-and
could not retain their composition. You and 1, then, are literally held together by definable laws,
of which L-fields are a manifestation. Without these laws-or
if the Universe were really chaos-we could not exist for a
millisecond. Rigid, specific and exact forces control not only the
construction and maintenance of our component parts but also
their organization and interrelationsh ip. In short, we exist by virtue of inexora ble laws in a highly
organized Universe of law and order. 114 THE CONTINUING ADVENTURE

All this will not appeal to those who prefer to believe that the

Phase IV
Flax Seed Oil
Take two tablespoons per day of unrefined, fresh flaxseed oil for the first month of
Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program, and one tablespoon per day from the
second month of the program to completion. (Formula F  provides Essential Fatty
Acids — Essential Fatty Acids must be provided in the diet, as the human body
cannot make them.) Johanna Budwig, a German researcher, did the lion's share of the early work on
flax oil and its therapeutic uses in the early 1950s. Blood samples from healthy and
sick people were systematically analyzed, and the findings tabulated. According to
her, blood samples from people with cancer, diabetes, and some kinds of liver
disease consistently lacked Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). She claims that blood from
people with other diseases did not show this severe deficiency and that healthy
people's blood always contained EFAs. If cancer is a deficiency disease brought on by
lack of EFAs, she reasoned, a diet high in EFAs should alleviate at least some of the
cancer patients' problems. Unrefined Flaxseed oil, in practice, inhibits tumor growth and is useful in the
natural treatment of cancer. EFAs, from refined oil, on the other hand, help promote
tumor growth (due to trans-fats present in all American commercial vegetable oil). All
oils except unrefined, fresh olive and flaxseed oil are forbidden on Metabolic
Medicine's Cancer Cure Diet. Note: Fat that has not been heated above 96° F. in the form of unsalted raw butter,
raw eggs, raw cream, the fat in and on raw meats, no-salt-added raw cheeses,
avocados, fresh coconut and stone-pressed olive oil is acceptable on Metabolic
Medicine's Cancer Cure Diet. These fats are the easiest to digest, assimilate, and
utilize and aid the body in binding with toxins and carrying them to the bowels and
out of the body. Golden Rule of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Diet
The Golden Rule of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Diet is: "Take nothing into
77
Winning The Cancer War
the body that has been cooked or processed except items mentioned." Eat no
"Processed" food for the first six months of Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure
Program. The juicer is the most important appliance in the kitchen of a cancer patient. If
necessary sell the stove and buy a good juicer. The enzymes in foods that have been cooked have been destroyed or changed into
a different compound (amino acid). Cooked food can only be used as food and not as
enzymes, for it has no life. For example, if you plant a raw potato it w ill grow. If you
boil a potato and plant it, it w ill not grow it will rot. Many enzymes are destroyed at
107° F. and almost all are destroyed at 140° F. When a person eats anything processed he or she is not only eating "dead food"
(those in which the enzymes have been destroyed), but he or she is adding a second
very destructive force to his body, the destructive force of food preservatives. This
may not be too significant for a normal healthy person, but for the cancer patient it
may mean life or death. The liver must detoxify, destroy, or metabolize all foreign
substances from the body. When one eats foods with preservatives, it adds an extra
burden upon the liver, which the cancer patient cannot accept. Milk
The cancer patient must give up pasteurized cows' milk forever, except in the form
of raw (unpasteurized), homemade yogurt, and for a while must avoid raw milk too,
except raw (unpasteurized) goats' milk. Cows' milk, like meat, has too high a protein
content and pasteurization compounds the problem as it alters or mutates the protein. Pasteurized cows' milk requires too many pancreatic enzymes for digestion. Also, an animal cannot produce milk unless the female sex hormones are present
in extra large quantities; this causes too many hormones in milk for the person who
has cancer. But if raw goats' milk is available, it is advisable to take 4 to 8 ounces of raw
(unpasteurized), homemade goats' milk (goats' milk is similar to humans' milk) yogurt
each morning for breakfast. This will supply the intestines with adequate helpful
bacteria. This is acceptable because the yogurt bacteria predigest the milk protein
when added to it. After following this diet for 9 to 12 months and if raw goats' or cows' milk is
available. 9 to 12 ounces per day may be taken at any time during the day. 72

happening,	making	it	clear	to	everyone	that	closing	shop	is	not	the	pulse	of
this	moment. An	interesting	example	of	the	second-career	phenomenon	is	Bob	Daly—
who,	after	serving	as	the	chairman	and	CEO	of	Warner	Bros. for	19	years,
decided	to	resign	and	eventually	became	chairman	of	the	board	of	Save	the
Children. Having	achieved	a	job	that	by	modern	American	standards	would
be	considered	the	height	of	success,	he	now	defines	“success”	in	a	more
expanded	way. Daly	lived	the	American	dream	and	then	added	to	it. He	started	his	career
right	after	high	school,	working	in	the	accounting	department	at	CBS	for	its
lowest-paying	job	of	$41	a	week. Progressing	from	there,	he	lived	out	the
career	fantasies	of	a	generation. Loving	television,	he	ended	up	running	a
television	network. Loving	movies,	he	ended	up	running	a	movie	studio. Loving	baseball,	he	eventually	bought	a	piece	of	the	Los	Angeles	Dodgers
and	ran	it	for	years. Yet	clearly,	he	says,	the	best	is	what	he’s	doing	now. Daly	says	that	he’s	never	looked	back,	never	wondered	if	he	made	the
wrong	decision	by	leaving	the	pinnacle	of	the	corporate	world. Save	the
Children	has	opened	him	up	to	a	world	he	knew	nothing	about. Most	people,
he	says,	know	neither	the	scope	of	suffering	among	the	children	of	the	world
or	the	scope	of	the	humanitarian	efforts	to	save	them:	“You	see	a	few	clips	on
TV,	but	you	don’t	really	know. Once	you’re	in	the	room	with	people	who

These	people	are	so	special. “I	made	plenty	of	money	in	my	life,	and	I	was	very	happy	and	had
tremendous	satisfaction,”	he	continues. “But	this	might	be	the	most	rewarding
thing	I’ve	ever	done. ”	He’s	getting	what	he	calls	more	“psyche	income”	now,
with	the	satisfaction	of	knowing	that	he’s	using	his	prodigious	managerial
strengths	to	help	alleviate	the	suffering	of	children	around	the	world. Daly’s	departure	from	Warner	Bros. caused	a	debate	among	his	friends:
“They	understood	my	wanting	to	go	run	the	Dodgers. But	this…. Some
people	understood,	but	some	people	thought	I	was	insane. ”

. His hands
would normally have been covered with blisters and
been in bandages for weeks; instead, he said that in a
matter of three or four minutes, the pain was gone and
there never was any blister formation. These are just a
few examples of instant healing which demonstrate
that the body knows how to heal itself the minute we
let go of resistance. 308 HEALING AND RECOVERY
Why should this be so. There is no magic involved;
anybody can experience the truth ofthis. This has been
a common teaching for thousands of years. Those who
have tried Zen meditation know that the first thing
taught is the handling of discomfort of the physical
body by letting go of resisting the experience, cancel
ing out thoughts about it, and becoming one with it,
thereby disappearing it. In consciousness work, the process is called'dis
appearing'. By totally letting go of resisting some
thing, we disappear it out of our experience. One can
see that the experience is prolonged by resistance. As
long as we resist a thing and hold it, it continues its
existence. Resistance gives it the power over us, and
we then become the victim of that. We are at the
effect ofthatwhichwe resist. The minute we let go of
our resistance and become one with it, it disappears. This also means letting go ofall associated images and
their accumulated energy. The reasons for this can be understood from refer
ring to the Map of Consciousness. As stated earlier,
each of the levels of consciousness has been calibrat
ed mathematically to show its power relative to the
other levels. The arrows indicate whether the energy
is in a negative or a positive direction, which is very
important in determining the way that we experience
things. Those things in a negative direction are expe
rienced as pain and suffering and are detrimental and
destructive to our lives. The various energy fields influence our emotions
and are indicators of a process going on in conscious
ness. They influence how we see and experience the 309 PAIN AND SUFFERING
work as well as how we experience our relationship to
something that is greater than the personal self, which
the world calls a Deity. It is a relationship to a greater
field of consciousness and the powerful fields that
come about at the higher levels. The only reason to review this is to understand
what happens in the technique of handling acute pain. Resistance to pain is a negative energy field that cali
brates at about 150. Ifone tries to control the pain or
use will power against it and resist it, a negative energy
field that calibrates at about 150 occurs within the self. This would be about the same level as the emotions of
resentment or grief where we resent the pain and are
angry about it. If we move up to letting go of resist
ance, ifwe have the courage to use the technique and
are unreservedly willing to try it, then we move up to
the field of 250 called Neutral. Moving into Neutral
means being in a positive, detached energy field where
"It's okay with me, and I'm willing to experience this
thing out. " Willingness moves us up to an energy field
of 310 where we say yes to life and its experiences,
where we agree and align with it, and where life
expresses itself as a positive intention. Instead of resisting life, we go with life and surren
der it to God. This is the wisdom of the Tao, which
teaches that the willow tree bends with the wind, but
the oak tree, which resists it, breaks. Instead ofresisting
what has occurred when barking our shin, we just
become like the willow tree and go with it; we let go
of resisting it. We allow that experience to flow
through the self. By doing that, we move out of a nega
tive, painful energy field full of resentment, anger, and 310 HEALING AND RECOVERY
fear. Fear is at the negative level of 100, a low energy
field and far away from joy. The higher the number, the
greater the feeling of happiness. We can then actually
choose, be willing, and even accept that it is what is
necessary to handle this, which moves us all the way
up to 380, a very high energy field. When we choose to go with life, whether it is run
ning across a rattlesnake or some other challenging
event, and surrender to that experience, we invite and
bring forth from within ourselves a greater power, a
higher energy. Those people who have utilized this
technique end up calling it a higher power, and we will
hear them say, "I called upon my Higher Power. "Those
who have not heard that expression may say, "It is not
real to us, so how can we make the experiences real. " We can make them real by doing them. It is actually
through the doingness of it that these things become
real. By doing this exercise, we then begin. to experi
ence that something other than the personal self is
handling the experience, and within moments, what
was agonizing is now very bearable. We are out of the
resistance and fear ofthe suffering. We want to avoid or
bypass the negative energy field of a lower energy
power and instead move up to a higher one, because,
as we move up to higher energies such as love, we are
then in the energy field of 500. When we move into unconditional lovingness at
level 540, the field has the capacity to heal; it is the
level of healers. The field that healers generate calibrates
at 540 and up. It is an immensely loving field, and the
emotion is experienced as lovingness-that desire to
be with life, to say yes to it, and to let go of resistance. PAIN AND SUFFERING 3II
The healing from acute pain that results automati
cally from using this technique can be experienced by
anyone. I have used it over and over again as have the
people who have tried it. Many people have had the
opportunity. I remember describing the technique to a
Sunday night class, and during the week, several mem
bers had acute injuries where this information was life
saving for them. It literally enabled them to carry on
through the terrible experiences. Not long after, a big,
burly friend visited me and gave me a hug,which broke
three ribs. I felt them snap but did not say anything
about it because he would have felt guilty. The ribs
healed, but later that winter, another friend gave me a
hug and broke three ribs on the other side ofthe body. Needless to say, I did not mention that either (so much. for my 'rib karma'). How can this technique be utilized in handling
chronic pain, which is different from acute pain. We
handle it in the same way as used for acute pain; how
ever, it is done in a somewhat different manner. As we
said before, all experiences are being experienced in
consciousness. We look to see where the pain is being
experienced, such as in the thumb that got cut off. First, we could say the pain is in the thumb. Actually,
where is the pain being experienced. It moves our
attention away from the thumb. If one says,"I move the
focus ofattention to the top of my head," then,from the
locus of the top of the head, we look at the area of the
thumb and experience the painfulness of it, but where
is the painfulness of the thumb occurring. When we
do that,we begin to notice that the painfulness is being
experienced everywhere-all around the body and the 312 HEALING AND RECOVERY
energy fields of the body-it is really sort of occurring
everywhere. Most everyone has experienced the pain that
makes one sick to their stomach and feel flip-floppy
and weak in the knees. We experience it everywhere. If
we go into the top of the head, just as an exercise that
we do, from that point we begin to experience the
pain. We notice the pain as being everywhere and then
use the same technique that was used in handling the
acute pain. We let go of resisting what is being experi
enced everywhere; it is not going on in any specific
place. It is desirous to clearly differentiate the feeling, sen
sation, or experience from the thoughts. We are going
to be going on with all of life's problems, especially
