1. When I communicate with other s, I will keep in mind that it’ s not the
words that create beautiful st ories, but the spaces between the
words. And it’ s not the musical  notes that create melodious m usic,
but the pauses between the notes. I’m creating space in my
communication. I’m pausing, listening fully, and allowing the space
to create beautiful conversations.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

T o h elp relieve blockages or im balances in the sixth chakra, it’ s important
to choose life-af firming foods, clean water, and a healthy, toxin-free living
environment. Move your body daily and practice meditation. Living in this
manner is essential as you awaken each of the chakras. However, if you
wish to experien ce the physical lightness that brings to you the gifts of the
sixth chakra, you must keep you r body free of toxins. Of course, you can’ t
control everything in your environment, but try to control what you can.Y ou wil l have increased ability to access your intuition if you spend
time in nature. Y our body will s ync up with the rhythms of nature, and you
will experience more flow in your life. Y OGA  E YE  E XERCISES
Great for strengthening the cone s and rods in the eyes as well as stimulating
the brain, these yoga eye exerc ises take only two to three minutes to do. Remove your glasses or contact lenses. Sit tall with your palms on your lap
facing up. Keep your head steady. Repeat each of the follo wing three
exercises ten times:
Look up to the right and down to the left. Then look up to the left and
down to the right. Look side to side, as if you were trying to look at each ear. Look up between your eyebrows, and look down toward your chin. Finally, look toward your nose, and hold for twenty to thirty seconds. When y ou’re finished, rub your hands together to create frictio n and heat. Place the heels of your hands over your eyes, and hold for about thirty
seconds. Still holding your hands over your eyes, gently move the heels of
your han ds in a circular motion over your eyes to massage t hem. When
you’re finished, remove your hands and open your eyes. L IGHT  T HERAPY
In additi on to eye exercises, you  can strengthen your sense of sight and help
heal a whole hos t of diseases by  using light therapy. The best source of light
therapy, of course, is the sun. N ever stare directly at the sun. However, you
can stare at the sun with your eyes closed. Y ou can also try circular eye
motions: with your eyes closed,  look toward the sun and trace its shape by
moving your eyes in a clo ckwise motion and then switching to
counterclockwise. Do this sunn ing therapy for ten minutes daily. In the
winter you can achieve a similar ef fect by using a full-spectrum light box
designed for light therapy. According to a M ayo Clinic article,  t he ligh t box
should provide an exposure to 10,000 lux of light and emit as little
ultraviolet light as possible to av oid skin and eye damage. In the same waythat you wouldn’ t look directly at the sun for your eye exercises, avoid
staring d irectly at the light box. Consult your eye doctor befor e using any
type of light the rapy for your ey es if you have glaucoma, cataracts, or eye
damage from diabetes. Y OGA  A SANAS AND  P RANA Y AMA  E XERCISES T O  H EAL THE

 animal consciousness and then on to be a real human. There are certain minor chakras from muladhara down to the heels that are
responsible for the development of animal and human instincts as well as
intellect. Muladhara is responsible for survival and maintenance of the
physical body, and besides being a source of physical energy it also regulates
all excretory functions.Located at the pubic area or at the lowest point of the spinal column,
corresponding to our sacral plexus of nerves, is the second major chakra,
known as swadhisthana or the sacral chakra. This chakra is the desire
centre of the body and the seat of emotions, hence it is responsible for
emotional balance, sexuality, procreation and the exchange of sexual energy,
and it also contr ols the unconscious in human beings. The third major chakra is manipura or the solar plexus chakra, in the
naval region. It corresponds to the solar plexus. Located in the V of the
ribcage below the diaphragm, it controls the entire process of digestion,
assimilation and temperature regulation in the body. This chakra is
responsible for mental power and self-will, and is associated with ourambitions towards money, power and authority; it is known to be the seat of
ego. The first three chakras take care of our basic needs, as described by
renowned psychologist Abraham Maslow in his hierarchy of needs. Only
after fulfilment of the basic needs can a person focus on self-actualisa tion. In
spiritual and tantric practices it is said that while we are stuck in the
mundane and struggling with the basic needs, kundalini keeps rising up to
the manipura chakra then returns to the muladhara (base root) chakra. However, once the kundalini crosses the astral bridge, which is an energetic
barrier between manipura and the anahata (heart) chakra, kundalini
movement is upwards only. This movement of kundalini is associated with
the evolution of consciousness. The anahata chakra is located at the centre of the chest, at the level of
the depression of the sternum. It corresponds to the cardiac plexus of nerves
and regulates the functioning of the heart, lungs, thymus gland, diaphragm
and other organs in this region of the body. This is the first chakra on the
path of self-actualisation and a stepping stone to spiritual growth. It is an
important chakra for all healers, denoting unconditional love and empathy
for all. Our vishuddhi or throat chakra is located in the deep of the throat and
corresponds to the cervical plexus of nerves. Responsible for communication
and self-expression, it regulates the entire thyroid complex, certain systems of
articulation and the upper pala te and epiglottis. Yogis and tantrics believe that the ajna, or third eye chakra, is located
between the brows in the forehead. It is the seat of the guru — our guiding
principle — and works as the command centre. It has complete control over
all the functions of a disciple’ s life.The aforesaid six chakras serve as triggers of energy to different parts of
the brain, and are channelled through various nadis (conduits of energy, or
prana). According to kundalini tantra there are two higher illuminated
centres, called bindu and sahasrara. The bindu is located at the top back of
the head and is where Hindu Brahmins keep a tuft of hair; this feeds the
optic nerve and is considered to be the seat of nectar or ama-kala, the true
philosopher’ s stone of immortality. The sahasrara is supreme, the seat of higher awareness; it is is located
slightly above the fontanelle. Considered to be the seventh major chakra,
sahasrara is our connection to higher consciousness, the point of culmination
of kundalini. During the process of evolution, sometimes our outer experiences get in
the way of our inner experiences. Known in Hindi as anubhuti, this inner
experience results from our spiritual practices and is very subjective, as each
seeker may get a different anubhuti in spite of carrying out the same spiritual
practice. When the chakras get activated through our spiritual practices our
values and perception of life also change, resulting in the improvement of the
quality of love, relationships and compassion. For a yogi, the world remains
the same but the perception of the world changes, resulting in sat-chit-anand,
a state of eternal peace and b liss within. Nature and consciousness
Our cosmos is the body of the Absolute (an essential attribute of God;
ultimate reality), the vessel through which the Absolute expresses itself. There
are two fundamental principles of the universe — nature and consciousness
— that are continuously interplaying in the cosmic drama of the universe. They are basically two sides of the same coin; they are yin and yang.Supreme consciousness is the masculine principle or purusha: it is all-
pervading, it is the sustainer and the only sign of divinity. Consciousness is
the ultimate, out of which and by whose power mind and matter proceed. The other aspect, nature, is the feminine principle (prakriti shakti); it is the
material form of the consciousness and is the one responsible for procreation. Consciousness, which exists in all forms of life, does not differentiate between
people or species. It is the v ery basis of cr eation, the po wer of evolution. The consciousn ess of a living being is conditioned by the matter that
makes up this body. As long as we have a physical body we participate in the
play of nature; that is maya, which is the illusionary world of desires: the
desires we chase, the material things we want for illusionary happiness. As
you fulfil one desire you will find you have another one, creating a vicious
cycle or a web. No incarnate body can be completely worldly or completely
spiritual. No matter what level of light or spirituality you attain, as long as
you are embodied you are not able to transcend your dark side. The
expression of shakti in the physical body is prana, the vital life force, which
keeps the bod y, mind and spirit w orking as a complete w hole. The ancient law of microcosm (part) and macrocosm (whole) explains
that there is no real difference between the vast external universe and the
limited internal universe of the human body, except that we as individuals
believe ourselves to be different. A human being is a living microcosm of the
universe, and the universe is a living macrocosm of a human being. Each
cosmos affects the other. Our universe affects us each moment, and each one
of us also influences the entire universe by our actions. Humankind, as
microcosm, contains within itself all the elements: mineral, vegetable and
animal kingdom (flora and fauna). Also, within plants is the potential of
human beings, and within human beings is the underlying energy structure
of plants. Life is rational, interdependent and interconnected, like anecosystem, for mutual nourishment and care. Independence and
individuality are myths of human origin: humankind cannot live without air;
air exists because of the planetary mass of the Earth: the Earth exists because
of the sun; the sun exists as part of the galaxy; the galaxy exists as part of the
macrocosm. In essence, both cosmic and individual consciousness are one. While the
power of cosmic consciousness, chiti shakti, identifies with the unmanifested
absolute, the power of individual consciousness, maya shakti, identifies with
the world and is the manifestation of the absolute. As individual
consciousness is a partial expression of cosmic consciousness, the two aspects
cannot exist without each other; there is a spark of the absolute in even the
densest of matter, which is why a rock is considered alive as it has vibrations. Similarly, in the highest state of consciousness there is a particle of maya or a
sense of individuality, because the physical form identifies with the material
world only. Once you understand the truth of the universe you forget your
own individuality and remember your true nature. The one exists in all and
all defines the one; unity and duality both exist simultaneously. Wherever
chiti shakti is displayed there is intelligence and sensation. Without it there is
ignorance and insensitivity. Our bodies are our soulmates, as they are the carriers of our souls. They
are like vessels, getting filled with the flow of consciousness. The chief centres
of consciousness in human beings are found in the cerebrospinal system, the
upper brain and hypothalam us; this is the first part of the body to be
developed after conception. After that our sahasrara or crown chakra opens. Individual consciousness flows in the body through the sahasrara chakra,
bringing with it a complete blueprint of our life. This blueprint is our destiny
in this lifetime. According to Hindu philosoph y, this destiny is based on the
karma of our past lives. When a person consults an astrologer, palmist ornumerologist they will try to analyse this blueprint to predict the person’s
destiny, although this destin y cannot be c hanged. From the cerebrospinal system, entire body form materialises


‘bad’ or ‘uncaring. ’ As a result, people began to emerge from their
stereotypes. For a long time I found it hard to believe that I was the
focus of this change. But how could I account for the love that
people directed at me, whether I knew them or not. ”
At this point Chris was far along into the change of awareness
produced by unconditional love. In conventional psychology, a
person is told that altering his own attitudes is the best way to
improve the behavior of others. Chris now found that he could walk
into a bank and soon everyone in it would be smiling. When he
presided over community meetings, where the clash of opinions was
usually very tense, the atmosphere seemed to be softer, as if
troubled waters were mysteriously stilled. “I could  not come to terms with this inexplicable pheno menon,”
Chris recalls, “until I radica lly changed my sense of myself. Myworld view had always been centered on individual ego and eort. The eect you might have on the world depended on doing
something, or at least thinkin g. I wasn’t doing anything, other than
existing. So I had to conclude that what I am was having this eect. ”
I asked him to t in his experience on the highway, when he felt
waves of love engulng him. “That experience, I think, brought a
certain part of the whole process to a climax. After believing for so
long that I could not expect or receive love without relating to
another person, suddenly it was all happening inside me. I was
shocked at rst, because it meant that in some way the failings of
other people, their selshnes s and hatred, was somehow centered in
me as well. And yet these experiences were undeniable: as I
changed, everything around me changed. “In time, I quit wrestling with this thing intellectually. I became
used to it. No longer did I nd myself depending on other people for
my basic sense of loving or being loved. By connecting with myself I
started connecting with others better than I ever had before. “When it came, the exper ience of my unfolding heart was
overwhelming, but only for about forty-ve minutes. The most
fortunate thing is that the breakthrough lasted. It has been two
years now, and I am still that loving person inside. I don’t  mean that
I always exude  kindness no matter what other people do to me. I
can get angry and criticize others when I think they’re wrong, but
there is no destructiveness in it. ”
I was thinking of how hard we try to protect ourselves from being
hurt emotionally, not realizing the intensity of life we have walled
out in the process. It is necessary to defend the heart when it is too
weak and frightened to love, yet at some point all that changed for
Chris. It became possible for him to let love ow when and where it
wanted. He was able to welcome others, without defenses, without
fear, into the expanded space of his own being. Somethi ng he said
particularly sticks with me: “I used to try so hard to love, and now
it’s the one thing I can’t prevent, no matter how hard I try. ” He
smiled, and I felt the tender aection of someone who has not torn
down the walls of pain but own over them. OceanofPDF. comPart Three

“Why Aren’t I Real
Anymore. ”
The day after I rst met Karin, I was driving home when I felt a
sudden urge to hear her voice again. I found the tape of our
interview and slipped it into the machine. There it was, the soft,
melodious soprano of a woman who kept reminding me, hauntingly,
of a child. I don’t mean that she sounded childish. She spoke like an
adult, talking about serious adult problems, yet blended into that I
could hear a precocious eight-year-old who was very puzzled by the
grown-up world. “Why am I punished for telling a lie when Mommy lies about her
age. Why do I have to clean my plate when Daddy leaves his
Brussels sprou ts. ” All children go through some stage like this. By
challenging the ready-made values handed down by adults, they
begin to formulate their own values, which is a necessary step
toward gaining  a real identi ty. Karin, however, continu es to issue
challenges right and left. I once went to a clinic where they treat obsessiv e-
compulsive disorder. I didn’t think I was obsess ive-
compulsive, but it had me worried. The rst thing the doctor
did was to hand me a test. “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to ll
this out,” I said. “Why not. ” he asked. “Well, the rst question wants to know if I read things
more than once. I didn’t read very much in school, and now Isometimes do reread books to make sure that I am getting
everything out of them. But if I say yes to your question, you
will interpret it as an obsessive-compulsive trait, like hand
washing. ”
He still wanted me to take the test. “I’m not a test score,”  I
protested. “I’m a human being. I need to be dealt with for
what’s going on with me. ”
He said, “That’s a sign right there of obsessiveness. ”
“Has it ever occurred to you,” I said, “that because you run
a clinic for obsessive-comp ulsive disorder, you may be
obsessed with making a diagnosis of obsessiveness. ”
“No,” he said, “that has never occurred to me. ”
I laughed out loud listening to the tape, just as I had when Karin
rst told me about this run-in. Like many children, she has a sixth
sense for when she is being manipulated. Okay, so I went to another doctor, a well-known
psychologist. It took me a while to get hold of him, and when
I nally did, he said, “I think you didn’t want to meet me,
anyway. ”
“What makes you think that. ” I asked. “Because you got my answering machine three times. ”
“Oh really. ” I said, “but what about the fact that you got
my answering machine three times. ”
Karin sounds rather feisty set down on the page. In person she is
actually much less that way. She talks excitably about herself and
likes to drama tize her story. Underneath the drama, however, one
senses that she is a gentle person—I nd it easy to believe her when
she says that she has never deliberately hurt anyone. She has soft,
pleasing featur es and lively eyes. Still unmarried at thirty-ve, she
successfully runs a small catering business with two women friends
in suburban Boston. By her own count, Karin has been to ten dierent doctors in the
past two years, none of whom has helped her. To begin  with, herbasic complaint is extremely dicult to pin down. She says that she
doesn’t feel real anymore. In everyday situations such as talking on
the phone, walking down the street, or eating in a restaurant, she
has persistent doubts about her existence: “Someone will call my
name, and I’ll go through one of my experiences: ‘Did I answer that. Is this really me. ’ Sometimes I’ll be talking and think, ‘How come I
can talk. How can I breathe. ’ It’s as if my mind is going, ‘Does not
compute, does not compute,’ and I start to cry. ”
Physically, Karin no longer feels comfortable in her own body, a
sensation that psychologists call derealization: “It’s as if someone
else is in my body, doing everything with me, or for me. ” Her
feeling of being unreal becom es quite profound at times, and yet she
continues to function normally. Other people have a hard time
believing that there is actually anything wrong with her. “When I’m
miserable, my brother will say, ‘Look, I have the same thoughts you
do, but I don’t  have the same  responses. I don’t want to ruin my life
over the question, Why am I here. or Who am I. ’ ”
Her brother is right in spotting that Karin is wrapped up in a great
deal of intellectual confusion. She is constantly assaulted by
questions that seem crazy to her: Can one be real and unreal at the
same time. Is thinking that you are unreal the same as being
unreal. When  her head begins to whirl with these existential
riddles, she becomes as bewildered as Alice down the rabbit-hole. I asked Karin if she felt real talking to me. She said that she did
and she didn’t: “I am sitting  here having a conversation with you,
but a part of me says I’m not. It’s impossible. How can I be saying
such a thing to myself. My mind doesn’t comprehend it. I know  I’m
talking to you, but another part knows  I’m not. I can’t gure that
out. ”
As a yog


 rooted in the human psyche. For example, the Bible tell s us
that man's first task on Earth was to name the animals, thus giving him power and dominion over them. Strong is the temptation to name diseases because nearly everyone has come to expect that his malady has a name. Patients hav e
come to expect, and doctors have been trained to make, a dia gnosis.... "After all," the patient may reason, "how can you hope to
deal with my condition if you aren't knowledgeable enough to call it by name?" It is not necessary to name diseases in order to exercise dominion over them. Dr. Bernard Jensen, Vision s of Health. In self defense, I must make it very clear from the first word that hygienists and most other naturopaths of various persuasi ons,
and especially I myself, have never in the past, never!, and do not now, diagnose, treat or offer to cure, d isease or illness. Diagnosis and curing are sole, exclusive privileges of certified, duly -licensed medical doctors and may only be done with a grant
of Authority to do so from the State. Should an unlicensed person diagnose, offer to treat or attempt to cu re disease or illness, they
will have committed a felonious act. With big penalties. Therefore, I do not do it. When one of my clients comes to me and says that a medical doctor says they have some disease or other, I agree that the
medical doctor say s they have some disease or other, and I never dare say that they don't. Or even confirm on my own authority
that I think they do have some disease or other. What I can legally do for a client is to analyze the state of their body and its organs, looki ng for weaknesses and apparent
allergies. I can lawfully state that I think their liver tests weak, the pancreas appears not to be functioning well in terms  of handling
meat digestion, that the kidney is having a hard time of it. I can say I see a lump sti cking out of their body when one is obviously
sticking out of their body; I can not say that lump is cancerous but I can state that the cells in that lump test overly stro ng and that
if I myself had a mass of growing cells testing overly strong and if I be lieved in the standard medical model, then I would be
rushing my overly strong testing cells to an oncologist. But I don't dare say the person has a cancer. Or diabetes. Or is get ting close
to kidney failure. That is a diagnosis. To me, diagnosis is a form of magic rite in which the physician discovers the secret name of the devil that is inhabiting one's
body and then, knowing that secret name, performs the correct rite and ritual to cast that demon out. I don't know why people  are
made so happy knowin g the name of their condition! Does it really matter? Either the body can heal the condition or it can't. If it
can, you will recover (especially if you give the body a little help). If the body can't heal a condition you will die or liv e a long
time being  miserable. No "scientific" medical magic can do better than that. By describing a disease in terms of its related organ weaknesses, instead of pinning a Latin name on it, I am able to assist the
body to achieve recovery in a superior way that the phys ician rarely does. By discovering that the body with the lump of overly
strong cells also has a weak spleen, liver and thymus gland, I can take actions to strengthen the spleen, liver and thymus. I f the
body can strengthen its spleen, liver and thymus, the n the overly strong cells miraculously vanish. But of course I and what I did
did not cure any disease. Any improvements that happen I assign (correctly) to the body's own healing power. The way I analyze the organic integrity of the body is through a  number of related methods, including the general appearance of
the body, the patient's health history, various clues such as body and breath odor, skin color and tone, and especially,
biokinesiology, the applied science of muscle testing. Biokinesiology c an be used to test the strength or weakness of specific
organs and their function. A weak latissimus dorsi muscle indicates a weak pancreas, for example. Specific acupuncture points  can
be tested in conjunction with muscle strength to indicate the conditio n of specific organs or glands. The strength of the arm's
resistance to downward pressure could be calibrated with a spring scale and precisely gauged, but experienced practitioners h ave
no need for this bother, because they are able to pick up subtle chan ges in the arms resistance that are not apparent to the testée. Thus muscle testing becomes an art form, and becomes as effective as the person using it is sensitive and aware. Biokinesiology works because every organ and gland in the body is intercon nected with other parts of the body through nerve
pathways and nerve transmissions, which are electrical and can be measured through muscle testing. This may seem too esoteric
for the "scientific" among you, but acupuncture points and energy manifestations  around and in the body –are now accepted
phenomena, their reality demonstrated by special kinds of photography. Acupuncturists, who heal by manipulating the body's
energy field with metal needles, are now widely accepted in the western hemisphere. Kinesiol ogy utilizes the same acupuncture
points (and some others too) for analytic purposes so it is sometimes called "contact reflex analysis." I have studied and used Kinesiology for 25 years with the majority of my clients with very good success. There are  some few
people who are very difficult to test because they are either too debilitated, lack electrical conductivity, or their state o f mind is so
skeptical and negative about this type of approach that they put up an impenetrable mental barrier and/or ho ld their body so rigidly
that I can hardly determine a response. A skilled can overcome the obstacle of a weak body that can barely respond, but the p erson
who is mentally opposed and determined to prove you wrong should not be tested. If you proceed it is  sure to have an
unsatisfactory outcome for all concerned. For even if I manage to accurately analyze the condition of a skeptical client, the y will
never believe the analysis and will not follow suggestions. The "scientific," open -minded, "reasonable"  client can be better approached using an academic -like discussion based on
published literature that demonstrates how people with similar symptoms and complaints do very well on a particular dietary
regimen and supplements. This type of person will someti mes follow dietary recommendations to the last letter, because their
scientific background has trained them to be obedient. When a client comes to me, I like to take a real good look at who is sitting in front of me. I take my leisure to find out al l about
their history, their complaints, their motivation to change, their experience with natural healing, their level of personal
responsibility, whether or not they have to work, whether or not they can take time out to heal, will they fast or take suppl ements,
do they have sufficient finances to carry a program through to a successful completion, do they have people closely connected  to
them that are strongly opposed to alternative approaches, can they withstand some discomfort and self -denial, do they hav e toxic
relationships with other people that are contributing to their condition, are they willing to read and educate themselves in greater
depth about natural healing, etc. I need to know the answers to these questions in order to help them choose a prog ram which is
most likely to succeed. Even though fasting is the most effective method I know of, it is not for people who are compelled to keep up a work schedule,
nor is it for people who are very ill and do not have anyone to assist them and supervi se them. Nor is it for people who do not
understand fasting and are afraid of it. People who have associates that are opposed to it, and people who do not have a stro ngly-
functioning liver or kidneys should not fast either. Seriously ill people that have b een on a meat -heavy diet with lots of addicting
substances need a long runway into a fast so as to not overwhelm their organs of elimination. Does the person in front of me have
an eating disorder, or an otherwise suicidal approach to fasting, etc. Clearly  fasting is not for everyone, and if I recommend it to
the wrong person, the result will be a bad reputation for a marvelous tool. Given that many clients can not fast without a lot of preparation, the majority of my clients start out with a gentle de tox program
that takes considerably more time, but works. These gradients have been outlined under the healing programs for the chronical ly
ill, acutely ill, etc. To help rebuild poorly functioning organs, I sometimes use a specialized group of food su pplements called protomorphogens. These are not readily available to the general public and perhaps should not be casually purchasable like vitamins, because, as with
many prescription drugs, supervision is usually necessary for their successful use. If th e FDA ever succeeds at making
protomorphogens unavailable to me, I could still have very good results. (At this time the Canadian authorities do not allow
importation of protomorphogens for resale, though individuals can usually clear small shipments throu gh Canada Customs if for
their own personal use.) But protomorphogens do facilitate healing and sometimes permit healing to occur at a lower gradient


 did not carry the scare
propaganda that was being
distributed from some central source. The New York
Evening Graphic
, a Macfadden publication,
often assailed for many reasons, right and wrong, refused to join in the effort to frighten everybody. The present writer had a daily column in the
Graphic
. I devoted a column to the cancer propaganda and pointed out that many people who did not have
cancer were being frightened into operations. I denounced the fear program as a crime against the
welfare and sanity of the public. The young woman read my column and came in to see me. It was eight o’clock on a Friday evening when she entered my office. I examined her breast and
decided that she did not have cancer, but that she was suffering from an enlarged gland. I advised
her to fast. She took the advice. I instructed her to return to me at the same time on the following
Monday evening. When she came in on Monday evening she was a very happy woman, her face
wreathed with smiles. I invited her to sit down and without questioning her or waiting for her to
say anything, I said, “Go ahead and tell me the story.”
It was a simple story, but it was a happy one. I have listened to similar stories many times
through the years that have since elapsed. ‘‘When I awoke this morning,” she said, “there was no
pain in my breast. There has been no pain all day. This evening at five o’clock, when I went to take
a bath, I said to my sister: ‘I would like to feel my breast to see if the lump is still there, but I’m
afraid to …’ My sister said: ‘Don’t be a child, go ahead and find out.’ I investigated nervously and
it is gone.”
I listened to the story with great satisfaction and took the note of her elation and relief. I
examined her breast and found no trace of the lump. The young woman remained under my care for
the remainder of two weeks and was discharged. I had occasional contact with this woman for thirteen years after her recovery and during this
period there was no recurrence of the “tumor.” I have been able to maintain contact with
subsequent cases for as many as twenty years and they have suffered no recurrence of their
“cancers.” Hers was one of two such “cancers” that fully recovered in three days. 137I have seen a large number recover in a week, several more to recover in two weeks, and many
to become free of their breast “cancers” in three to six weeks. I am sure that not all such cases of
“cancer” find their way to me or to my institution. There must be many thousands of them who
submit to operations every year, either for the removal of the lump or for removal of the whole
breast. I have seen enough of them to know that there is a wide difference between cancer and a
diagnosis of cancer. I am sure that these are the only kinds of “cancer” that are
cured
 by early
surgery. I have never seen a case of undoubted cancer recover, no matter how cared for nor by whom. I
am convinced that cancer is an irreversible pathology and that the only remedy for the condition is
prevention. I am
sure that it can be prevented and that this can be done by a well-ordered life, one
that maintains a high state of health at all times. I think that I should call attention to the fact that all four of the diagnoses in the case of the young
woman, which I have just described, were made without a biopsy, which is a procedure of taking
out some of the tissue of the lump or growth and examining it under the microscope. Each man
advised an operation upon the basis of a wild guess. The biopsy is far from infallible, often finding cancer where none exists, but it is probably far
more accurate than merely feeling of the breast, at these men did. Their diagnoses may be said to
have been made on suspicion. Or, perhaps they were merely floating with the propaganda tide. At
any rate, they all agreed without knowing the others’ diagnosis, that the young woman had cancer
of the breast and that an immediate operation was urgent. Fortunately for women, not more than one such lump out of ten thousand is cancer. Most of the
lumps will quickly clear up when the mode of living is corrected. Just as fasting causes the body to
use up its excess fat in nourishing the vital tissues so it causes the break down, by the process of
autolysis
, of growths or tumors (neoplasms) and uses the nutritive elements contained in these with
which to nourish the vital tissues. In like manner, dropsical swellings, edematous swellings, deposits and infiltrations are
absorbed and the usable portion are used as food; the non-usable portions are excreted. To understand this, it is necessary for the reader to know that tumors (new growths) are
composed of the same kinds of tissue of which the normal parts of the body are constituted. Tumors are named according to their composition. Thus a fatty tumor is called a
lipoma
; a
muscular tumor is called a
myoma
; a nerve tumor is called a
neuroma
; a bone tumor is called an
ostemoma
; an
epithelioma
 is made up of epithelial tissue; a
fibroma
 or fibroid is composed of
fibrous tissue, etc. Being constituted of the same tissue as the normal structures of the body, when
they are broken down, they yield up the nutritive material contained in them. A woman was told that she had a fibroid tumor of the uterus about the size of a lemon, and that it
should be removed at once. This meant that her womb would be removed and that during surgery
reasons might be discovered for removing her ovaries. But this would not restore health. She would still be a sick woman. Operations remove no
causes. There would probably be a recurrence of tumor. She would also be a physiological
cripple. Cutting into the ovaries is like cutting into the brain. The patient rejected the operation and
resorted to the fast. Soon the tumor was absorbed and her organs were saved. One case that I cared for was a woman who had a uterine fibroid about the size of a medium
sized grapefruit. Complete absorption of the tumor was brought about in twenty-eight days. This
was an unusually rapid rate
of absorption and I have never seen it take place so rapidly in another
138case. I have seen tumors in the breast, on the womb, in the abdomen, on the feet and elsewhere
absorbed while fasting, and some of these absorptions have been rapid while others have been
slow. One man who had a large tumor in the right lower abdomen, which had been diagnosed, by
means of a biopsy, as “giant cell sarcoma” (cancer) lost all of his sarcoma in seven days of
fasting. Of course he didn’t have cancer, but he did have a diagnosis. For reasons that are not yet fully understood, some tumors are not affected by the fast, but
thousands of tumors, some of them of considerable size, have been completely and permanently
removed by fasting. I have had the pleasure of saving hundreds of women from mutilating
operations for the removal of the breast, and many more from desexing operations for removal of
uterine fibroids. The process is identical with the removal of stores of fat in the tissues. There is
nothing mysterious about it. The layman who can understand how it is possible to reduce weight, losing large quantities of
fat in the process, by fasting, should have no difficulty in understanding how the body may also
free itself of other organized accumulations of structural materials while abstaining from food. Just as fat on any part of the body may be autolyzed and taken up by the lymph stream to be
mingled with the blood and used in nourishing the vital tissues of the organism while no food is
being taken, so other tissues may be digested in the same manner and used as food. Muscular
tissue, glandular tissue, and other tissues may be called upon to supply nutriment for the more vital
tissues, those that have to carry on the most essential functions of life. In like manner, the tissues that make up a tumor (neoplasm) are digested and absorbed, the
usable portions employed in nourishing the vital tissues, the non-usable portions excreted. 13936
Sterility in Women
The pattern of the case was simple and familiar: A young Italian woman had been married for five
years to a virile young man, also Italian. Both wanted children and had avoided all efforts at birth
control in the hope that pregnancy would take place. It did not. She consulted several physicians who assured her that her sterility was permanent. Her father-
in-law told her of the fast and of the possibility that it might help her. She consulted a
Hygienist
. “Will a fast enable me to become pregnant?” she asked. It was explained to her that there are
different reasons for sterility and that some of them yield to the fast, others do not. After
interrogation, she was told that the probability was that a fast would enable her to become
pregnant. She underwent the fast. A few weeks after the fast was broken, she conceived and later bore a
bright, healthy boy. This is one case out of many of similar nature.


 my home town of Hereford as "A Town Without a Toothache." Altogether what I saw in the Ca rolina iodine belt confirmed my
theory: whether in Hereford, Charleston, New Orleans, New York or
Los Angeles, if the people only will  eat Nature's food, produced in
completely fertile soil, in ample variety, and will drink plenty of
whole raw milk, produced from fertile pastures, they can avoid
toothache and most other aches that commonly plague mankind. On the other hand, during my leisurely trip through Alabama,
Florida and Georgia that year, I was struck particularly by the inhabitants' lean and hungry look. In that part of the country, though he may eat his fill every day,
the average person is undernourished. The reason for that is plain to be
seen. The soil is thin and worn out. More than one hundred years of
cotton farming have robbed it of nitrogen, and washed most of the
topsoil into the creeks and rivers that carried it down to the sea. On top of that, what foodstuff the people do get from their scant
soil is largely spoiled by refining. Most persons in those parts won't
eat whole wheat grain or bread made of it. They demand white flour, with the grain's most valuable mine rals and vitamins taken out. They
want that flour made into hot bisc uits to eat with butter and syrup. They won't use the outer green leaves on a head of lettuce. They won't
chop a head of cabbage or a bunch of carrots and eat them raw. That is
saying, people back east are very much like people in Texas. I say that people living in the southeast could have as sound teeth
as Dr. Taylor and his staff found in Deaf Smith County, Texas. To
begin with, they might enrich their soil with whatever minerals a
chemist's analysis showed to be lacking—not neglecting to add plenty
of organic matter, whether in the form of manure, compost or plowed
under trash. Next, the people might eat the food crop, just as it came from the
soil—lots of it raw and none of it refined. As evidence I found there convinces me, the South Carolina
iodine belt even today—though some of it has been farmed for almost
300 years—contains all the elements required to build sound bodies,
including sound teeth. Furthermore, I do not doubt there could be sufficient food crops
produced in the completely fertile  soil now to be had—or soil that
could be built up by known methods, using both organic and chemical
fertilizer, to supply our entire popula tion with a proper diet—the same
that has given our Deaf Smith County residents their nearly perfect teeth. Let me add this word of warning: the food stuff thus produced
would be of little value unless the pe ople consumed it partly raw and
completely unrefined. The important fact that dentistry, with its single track mind
overlooks is that poor teeth spell a poorly nourished body. Apparently, my profession is interested primarily in finding a
drug or chemical which applied to the teeth will kill the bug that bores
into the enamel—and so prevent de cay. Of late a great many cities
have been experimenting with fluor ine applied to small children's
teeth or by adding a part or two pe r million to the drinking water. I doubt if the method will work unless at the same time, and
consistently, the children so treated are fed upon a diet, including
whole raw milk, which contains about all the elements of which the
body is made. The children so nourished, I say, will be building sound teeth
along with sound bodies. What counts the most, those children will be
developing sound brains. Build brain cells and with them the capacity
to think, to tell the false from the true—and cultivate the moral
sensibilities—and we will be rearing a generation without
delinquency, a generation immune to the delusions abroad in the
world today. It takes right nutrition to make a man of independent mind, one
who thinks for himself and stands on his own feet. CHAPTER 23. I FIND SUPPORT FOR MY THEORY
 Just as I was leaving Hereford for New York to appear on the
"We the People" broadcast (that was in January, 1948) an old
acquaintance of mine, Louis Smith, who runs a farm a few miles from
Hereford, hailed me and volunteere d a bit of corroborative evidence
on "The Town Without a Toothache." "Dr. Heard, as you know, I have lived here in Deaf Smith county
practically all my life, I have raised a family of five daughters. All of
them are grown up and some have families of their own now. Not one
of them ever had the toothache or a single decayed tooth." What did your girls have to eat as they grew up, Mr. Smith? I
asked him. ''Well, doctor, they ate mostly what we produced on our farm —
green vegetables out of our garden or canned vegetables off the pantry
shelf; fresh beef whenever we k illed a yearling, side meat and ham
from the smokehouse; and, oh yes, we kept cows and the girls always
had all the fresh sweet milk or buttermilk they could drink." That's what did it, Mr. Smith, I told him—especially the milk. The fluorine in our water may have helped a little, but that is not the
whole story, only a small fraction of it. And that is what I am going to
tell the country when I broadcast in New York. But the program
director told me what to say. *
Almost daily during my dental practice, I was reminded that the
average mother knows little about wh at her children eat. The mother
will set a table full of assorted vict uals before them and then will let
each child eat according to his taste. Too frequently it turns out that the children devour white bread
and syrup, jams and jellies, hot bi scuits, cakes and pies. And they
hardly touch the spinach, lettuce, slaw or salad. As they are stuffed on
sweets, the children do not drink milk enough to build strong bones
and sound teeth. For a case in point, one day Mrs. Johnson brought her twin boys,
Tom and Bill, 14 years old, into my office for a check up. After I had looked over their mouths, I remarked: You boys do
not eat the same food. "Oh yes, they do," Mrs. Johnson put in. "Both have eaten at the same table all their lives." Long experience had taught me never to argue with a mother
concerning her child's doings. So I turned to the boys: Bill, do you like
the stuff that Tom eats? "Naw," answered Bill, "I wouldn't eat what
Tom eats." Now, Bill's mouth was healthy, his teeth sound and spotless, his
gums firm. That boy had consumed his share of raw vegetables and
fruit and had always drunk his milk. Maybe he asked for a second
glassfull. By contrast, Tom's mouth was red and congested. His gums were
puffy and easy to bleed. Tom was a heavy meat-eater and liked lots of gravy on his bread and potatoes. That boy sniffed at his spinach or
turnip greens, pushed aside his salad or raw tomatoes. As I told him, Tom is breeding for himself a nice case of
pyorrhea. If he didn't change his eating habits, he would be coming
back before he was an old man, for a set of false teeth. In my practice I have noticed that and informed thoughtful
parents generally were more interest ed in seeing that their children got
plenty of proteins, starch, sugar and fat in their daily diet. Their home
demonstration agent had instructed them concerning the calories that supply energy and the elements which build bone, muscle, blood,
brain and nerves. But I say that a diet can contain all those elements and still be
deficient enough to cause bodily ills or to induce tooth decay. Perhaps
the children's food lacks certain essential minerals and vitamins: iron,
magnesium, iodine, fluorine; vitamin A, B, C, D or G; thiamin,
riboflavin, niacin or folic acid. To be available to the human body, I say, those minerals must be
organic and colloidal. They have to be supplied through plants which
have taken them up from the so il and processed them—or through
animals that have fed on those plants—that is, in the form of meat, milk, butter and eggs. Then, if the fo od is not supplied in its natural,
unadulterated and unrefined state, a considerable portion of the
essential mineral and vitamin content is lost. For those reasons, I always advise d my patients: It is better to
consume your wheat ground up hulls and all, without the bran or
shorts taken out. Better bake potatoes with the jackets on and eat them
whole. Do not throw away the outer leaves of mustard, spinach or
lettuce. For it is the husks, peeling and outside leaves that store up the
most minerals and vitamins. All my research and all the au thorities I have investigated
together have about convinced me that cooked meats of all kinds are undesirable foods. CHAPTER 24. I TRY OUT MY THEORY ON A PATIENT
 Some years back I had the opportunity to test out my theory
concerning the curative value of the right


relaxed, visible breathing movements will be reduced. Y ou may
be able to notice this in a mirror.By using a simple exercise lik e this you can reduce your breathing
movements by 20 to 30 percent. If your stomach muscles start to feel tense,
contract, or jerk, or if your bre athing rhythm becomes disrupte d or out of
control, then the air shortage is too intense. In this situation, a bandon the
exercise for 15 seconds or so and return to it when the air s hortage has
disappeared. The mo st common mistake is t o deliberately tense the muscles of the
chest or abdomen to restrict breathing movements. If yo u find this
happening, then take a break from the exercise for 15 seconds or so. When
you retu rn to it, encourage yo ur breathing to reduce by exerting gentle
pressure on your chest and abd omen with your hands, encouraging your
breathing to slow and diminish using relaxation rather than force. Do not be concerned about the number of breaths you take per minute. Ideally, this should not increase. However, if your BOL T score  is less than
20 seco nds, you may find tha t your breathing rate increases during the
exercise. If this happens, try to slow down your breathing and k eep it calm. As y our BOL T score increases it will become much easier to maintain
control of your breathing during reduced breathing exercises. At fi rst, you may only be able to  maintain an air shortage for 20 seconds
before the ur ge to breathe is too  strong. W ith practice, you will be able to
maintain an air shortage for longer periods. Remember, you a re trying to
create an air shortage that is tolerable but not stressful. Aim to m aintain this
tolerable air hunger for 3 to 5 minutes at a time. Practicing 2 sets of 5-
minute exercise s is enough to help you reset your breathing center and
improve your body’ s tolerance of carbon dioxide.During reduced breathing exerc ises it is vital that you create a hunger
for air in order to bring about an accumulation of carbon dio xide in the
blood. W hen thi s happens, the re spiratory center in the brain is reset toward
a calmer and more normal breathing volume. In order to reset the
respiratory cente r by just a little, it is necessary to experience an air hunger
for abou t 10 minutes. Y ou can d ivide most of the exercises in this book into
2 sets of 5-minute sessions, or, if you feel you are confident and
experienced in reduced breathing, you may practice for 10 minutes straight. The Oxygen Advantage: Encompassing Many Factors to Impr ove

running create a similar ef fect to high-intensity training. As a result, they
are not suitable if you are elderly, pregnant, or have high blood pressure,
cardiovascular disease, type 1 diabetes, kidney disease, depression, cancer,
or any serious health concern. Instead, practice nasal breathing and the

asthma and suf fers from symptoms such as coughing, breathlessness, andwheezing. Mich ael’ s BOL T is 7  seconds. This program emphasizes quality
over quantity. At the beginning, given Michael’ s low BOL T score, he will find it
dif ficult to Breathe Light to B reathe Right because the air h unger may
destabilize his breathing. There fore, a better initial option for him is to
concentrate on breathing only th rough the nose both during the  day and at
night, and to practice many small breath holds (Breathing Recovery
Exercise) throughout the day. It will also be very helpful for Michael to
relax his  body and encourage hi s breathing to soften, as long as doing so is
not stressful and does not destabilize his breathing. Gentle walking alone will be suf ficient for Michael to generate a
tolerable air shortage. He will n ot need to hold his breath during his walk
unless h e feels comfortable doing so. Sometimes, holding the breath during
a w alk is a good way to overcom e chest tightness and to help increase one’ s
BOL T s core. If Michael practic es breath holds during his slow walks, they
should be limited to no more than 10 paces. He should not hol d his breath
beyond the point at which he los es control of his breathing, as doing so will
disrupt his breathing and possibly cause asthma symptoms. Practicing the exercise Breat he Light to Breathe Right is very
worthwhile and will be a lot ea sier for Michael to apply when his BOL T
score re aches 15 seconds. Michael’ s BOL T score will continue to increase
as l ong as he dedicates 10 minutes by 6 times daily to his reduced
breathing. This may sound like a  lot of hard work, but living wi th asthma is
extremely hard work in itself and will already be costing Michael a lot in
terms of reduced quality of life  and productivity. Reducing his breathing
throughout the day will be the b est investment in time that Mich ael has ever

Q: What is the recommended duration of a fast for someone who is chronically ill?,
A: The text does not explicitly state a recommended duration of a fast for someone who is chronically ill. However, it does suggest that a 1-2 weeks is a reasonable duration, with the option to repeat the process as often as necessary.
Q: What is the recommended daily dose of vitamin C for a healthy person?,
A: The text does not explicitly state a recommended daily dose of vitamin C for a healthy person. However, it does mention that the author takes 10,000-15,000 mg of vitamin C daily, and notes that it would be their first choice if they were going on a long trip and didn't want to pack a lot of weight.
Q: What is the author's opinion on the importance of vitamins in a life extension program?,
A: The author believes that vitamins are essential for life extension and notes that they are the cheapest and most effective way to extend one's life, stating that it is the best insurance against age-related diseases.
Q: What is the recommended daily dose of vitamin C for someone who is acutely ill?,
A: The text does not explicitly state a recommended daily dose of vitamin C for someone who is acutely ill. However, it does suggest that the author takes 3,000-5,000 mg of vitamin C daily, and notes that it is an essential nutrient for the immune system.
Q: Can someone who is chronically ill take vitamins and supplements?,
A: The text suggests that chronically ill individuals should not quit taking prescription medications without consulting a healthcare professional, but can try tapering off medications if their symptoms improve.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>But to do that, C is going to have to be administered atthe maximum dose the body can process. This is easily discoverable by a ‘boweltolerance test’ which basically means you keep taking two or three grams of Ceach hour, (preferably in the powdered, most rapidly assimilable form) until youget a runny stool (the trots). The loose stool happens when there is so much C
entering the small intestine that it is not all absorbed, but is instead, passed through
to the large intestine. At that point cut back just enough that the stool is only alittle loose, not runny. At this dose, your blood stream will be as saturated byvitamin C as you can achieve by oral ingestion. It can make an important difference which type of vitamin C is taken because
many people are unable to tolerate the acid form of C beyond 8 or 10 grams aday, but they can achieve a therapeutic dose without discomfort with the alkaline(buffered) vitamin C products such as calcium ascorbate, sodium ascorbate, ormagnesium-potassium ascorbates. Vitamin C also speeds up the healing of internal tissues and damaged
connective tissue. Damaged internal tissues might include stomach ulcers (use thealkaline form of vitamin C only), bladder and kidney infections (acid form usuallybest), arthritic disorders with damage to joints and connective tissue (alkalineform usually best). Sports injuries heal up a lot faster with a therapeutic dose ofvitamin C. As medicine, vitamin C should be taken at the rate of one or twograms every two hours (depending on the severity of the condition), spaced out toavoid unnecessary losses in the urine which happens if it were taken ten grams ata time. If you regularly use the acid form of vitamin C powder, which is thecheapest, be sure to use a straw and dissolve it in water or juice so that the aciddoes not dissolve the enamel on your teeth over time. And this is as good a point as any to mention that just like broccoli is not
broccoli, a vitamin is not necessarily a vitamin. Vitamins are made by chemicaland pharmaceutical companies. To make this confusion even more interesting, thebusiness names that appear on vitamin bottles are not the real manufacturers.Bronson’s Pharmaceuticals is a distributor and marketer, not a manufacturer. Thesame is true of every vitamin company I know of. These companies buy bulkproduct by the barrel or sack; then encapsulate, blend and roll pills, bottle andlabel, advertise and make profit. The point of all this is that some actual vitamin
manufacturers produce very high quality products and others shortcut. Vitamin
distributors must make ethical (or unethical) choices about their suppliers. It is beyond the scope of this book to be a manual for going into the vitamin
business. However, there are big differences in how effective vitamins with thesame chemical name are and the differences hinge on who actually brewed themup. For example, there are at least two quality levels of vitamin C on the market
right now. The pharmaceutical grade is made by Roche or BASF. Another form,it could be called “the bargain barrel brew,” is made in China. Top quality vitaminC is quite a bit more costly; as I write this, the price differential is about 40percent between the cheap stuff and the best. This can make a big difference inbottle price and profit. Most of the discount retail vitamin companies use theChinese product. There’s more than a price difference. The vitamin C from China contains
measurable levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, iron and other toxic metals. TheFDA allows this slightly contaminated product to be sold in the US because theRecommended Daily Allowance for vitamin C is a mere 60 milligrams per day.Taken at that level, the toxic metals would, as the FDA sees it, do no harm.However, many users of vitamin C take 100 to 200 times the RDA. The cheapform of C would expose them to potentially toxic levels of heavy metal poisons.The highly refined top-quality product removes impurities to a virtuallyundetectable level. I buy my C from Bronson who ethically gives me the quality stuff. I know for a
fact that the vitamin C sold by Prolongevity is also top quality. I’ve had clientswho bought cheaper C than Bronson’s and discovered it was not quite likeBronson’s in appearance or taste. More importantly, it did not seem to have thesame therapeutic effect. The distributors I’ve mentioned so far, Bronson, NOW, Cooper, Prolongevity
and Vitamin Research Products are all knowledgeable about differences between
actual manufacturers and are ethical, buying and reselling only high quality
products. Other distributors I believe to be reputable include Twin Labs, Schiffand Plus. I know there are many other distributors with high ethic levels but I cannot evaluate all their product lines. And as I’ve mentioned earlier, businessescome and go rather quickly, but I hope my book will be read for decades. I doknow that I would be very reluctant to buy my vitamins at a discount departmentstore or supermarket; when experimenting with new suppliers I have at timesbeen severely disappointed. Co-enzyme Q-
10. This substance is normally manufactured in the human body
and is also found in minuscule amounts in almost every cell on Earth. For thatreason it is also called “ubiquinone.” But this vitamin has been only recentlydiscovered, so as I write this book Co-enzyme Q-
10 is not widely known. Q-10 is essential to the functioning of the mitochondria, that part of the cell that
produces energy. With less Q- 10 in heart cells, for example, the heart has less
energy and pumps less. The same is true of the immune system cells, the livercells, every cell. As we age the body is able to make less and less Q-
10,
contributing to the loss of energy frequently experienced with age, as well as thediminished effectiveness of the immune system, and a shortened life span. Q-
10 was first used for its ability to revitalize heart cells. It was a prescription
medicine in Japan. But unlike other drugs used to stimulate the heart, at anyreasonable dose Q-
10 has no harmful side effects. It also tends to give people the
extra pick up they are trying to get out of a cup of coffee. But Q- 10 does so by
improving the function of every cell in the body, not by whipping exhaustedadrenals like caffeine does. Q-
10 is becoming very popular with athletes who
measure their overall cellular output against known standards. Besides acting as a general tonic, when fed to lab animals, Co-Enzyme Q- 10
makes them live 33 to 45 percent longer! DMAE  is another extremely valuable vitamin-like substance that is not widely
known. It is a basic building material that the body uses to make acetylcholine, the
most generalized neurotransmitter in the body. Small quantities of DMAE are
found in fish, but the body usually makes it in a multi-stage synthesis that startswith the amino acid choline, arrives at DMAE at about step number three andends up finally with acetylcholine. The body’s nerves are wrapped in fatty tissue that should be saturated with
acetylcholine. Every time a nerve impulse is transmitted from one


 see this as an expression of your
ego’s desire to be superior to everyone else. But this is not an ego statement
at all—it’s an affirmation of self-respect. Transcend that ego mind and
affirm your love for yourself and your connection to the Spirit of God. This
doesn’t make you superior to anyone; it makes you equal to all and
celebrates that you’re a piece of God. Affirm it for your own self-respect. Affirm it in order to be respectful of that which intended you here. Affirm it
because it’s the way you’ll stay connected to your Source and regain the
power of intention. I love me. Say it without embarrassment. Say it proudly,
and be that image of love and self-respect. Step 2: Write the following affirmation and repeat it over and over
again to yourself: I am whole and perfect as I was created. Carry this
thought with you wherever you go. Have it laminated, and place it in your
pocket, on your dashboard, on your refrigerator, or next to your bed—allow
the words to become a source of high energy and self-respect. By simply
carrying these words with you and being in the same space with them, their
energy will flow directly to you. Self-respect emerges from the fact that you respect the Source from
which you came and you’ve made a decision to reconnect to that Source,
regardless of what anyone else might think. It’s very important to keep
reminding yourself at the beginning that you’re worthy of infinite respect
from the one Source you can always count on, the piece of God energy that
defines you. This reminder will do wonders for your self-respect, and
consequently your ability to use the power of intention in your life. Over
and over, remind yourself: I’m not my body. I’m not my accumulations. I’m
not my achievements. I’m not my reputation. I am whole and perfect as I
was created. Step 3: Extend more respect to others and to all of life. Perhaps the
greatest secret of self-esteem is to appreciate other people more. The easiest
way to do this is to see the unfolding of God in them. Look past the
judgments of others’ appearance, failures, and successes, their status in
society, their wealth or lack of it. and extend appreciation and love to the
Source from which they came. Everyone is a child of God—everyone. Try
to see this even in those who behave in what appears to be a godless
fashion. Know that by extending love and respect, you can turn that energy
around so that it’s heading back to its Source rather than away from it. In
short, send out respect because that is what you have to give away. Send out
judgment and low energy and that is what you’ll attract back. Remember,
when you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself as
someone who needs to judge. The same applies to judgments directed at
you. Step 4: Affirm to yourself and all others that you meet, I belong. A
sense of belonging is one of the highest attributes on Abraham Maslow’s
pyramid of self-actualization (which I discuss at the beginning of the next
chapter). Feeling that you don’t belong or you’re in the wrong place can be
due to a lack of self-respect. Respect yourself and your divinity by knowing
that everyone belongs. This should never come into question. Your presence
here in the universe is proof alone that you belong here. No person decides
if you belong here. No government determines if some belong and some
don’t. This is an intelligent system that you’re a part of. The wisdom of
Creation intended you to be here, in this place, in this family with these
siblings and parents, occupying this precious space. Say it to yourself and
affirm it whenever necessary: I belong. And so does everyone else. No one
is here by accident. Step 5: Remind yourself that you’re never alone. My self-respect stays
intact as long as I know that it’s impossible for me to be alone. I have a
“senior partner” who’s never abandoned me and who’s stuck with me even
in moments when I had seemingly deserted my Source. I feel that if the
universal mind has enough respect to allow me to come here and to work
through me—and to protect me in times when I strayed onto dangerous
nonspiritual turf—then this partnership deserves my reciprocal respect. I
recall my friend Pat McMahon, a talk-show host on KTAR radio in
Phoenix, Arizona, telling me about his encounter with Mother Teresa in his
studio before interviewing her for his program. He pleaded with her to
allow him to do something for her. “Anything at all,” he begged. “I’d just
like to help you in some way. ” She looked at him and said, “Tomorrow
morning get up at 4:00 A. M. and go out onto the streets of Phoenix. Find
someone who lives there and believes that he’s alone, and convince him that
he’s not. ” Great advice, because everyone who wallows in self-doubt or
appears to be lost. has lost their self-respect because they’ve forgotten
that they’re not alone. Step 6: Respect your body. You’ve been provided with a perfect body to
house your inner invisible being for a few brief moments in eternity. Regardless of its size, shape, color, or any imagined infirmities, it’s a
perfect creation for the purpose that you were intended here for. You don’t
need to work at getting healthy; health is something you already have if you
don’t disturb it. You may have disturbed your healthy body by overfeeding
it, underexercising it, and overstimulating it with toxins or drugs that make
it sick, fatigued, jumpy, anxious, depressed, bloated, ornery, or an endless
list of maladies. You can begin the fulfillment of this intention to live a life
of self-respect by honoring the temple that houses you. You know what to
do. You don’t need another diet, workout manual, or personal trainer. Go
within, listen to your body, and treat it with all of the dignity and love that
your self-respect demands. Step 7: Meditate to stay in conscious contact with your Source, which
always respects you. I can’t say this enough: Meditation is a way to
experience what the five senses can’t detect. When you’re connected to the
field of intention, you’re connected to the wisdom that’s within you. That
divine wisdom has great respect for you, and it cherishes you while you’re
here. Meditation is a way to ensure that you stay in a state of self-respect. Regardless of all that goes on around you, when you enter into that sacred
space of meditation, all doubts about your value as an esteemed creation
dissolve. You’ll emerge from the solemnity of meditation feeling connected
to your Source and enjoying respect for all beings, particularly yourself. Step 8: Make amends with adversaries. The act of making amends
sends out a signal of respect for your adversaries. By radiating this
forgiving energy outward, you’ll find this same kind of respectful positive
energy flowing back toward you. By being big enough to make amends and
replace the energy of anger, bitterness, and tension with kindness—even if
you still insist that you’re right—you’ll respect yourself much more than
prior to your act of forgiveness. If you’re filled with rage toward anyone,
there’s a huge part of you that resents the presence of this debilitatingenergy. Take a moment right here and now to simply face that person who
stands out in your mind as someone you hurt, or directed hurt to you, and
tell him or her that you’d like to make amends. You’ll notice how much
better you feel. That good feeling of having cleared the air is self-respect. It
takes much more courage, strength of character, and inner conviction to
make amends than it does to hang on to the low-energy feelings. Step 9: Always remember the self in self-respect. In order to do this,
you must recognize that the opinions of others toward you aren’t facts,
they’re opinions. When I speak to an audience of 500 people, there are 500
opinions of me in the room at the end of the evening. I’m none of those
opinions. I can’t be responsible for how they view me. The only thing I can
be responsible for is my own character, and this is true for every one of us. If I respect myself, then I’m relying on the self in self-respect. If I doubt
myself, or punish myself, I’ve not only lost my self-respect, I’ll continue to
attract more and more doubt and lower-energy opinions with which to
further punish myself. You can’t stay linked to the universal mind, which
intends all of us here, if you fail to rely on your self for your self-respect. Step 10: Be in a state of gratitude. You’ll discover that gratitude is the
final step in each succeeding chapter. Be an appreciator rather than a
depreciator of everything that shows up in your life. When you’re saying
Thank you, God, for everything, and when you’re expressing gratitude for
your life and all that you see and experience, you’re respecting Creation. This respect is within you, and you can only give away what you

essential oil. Shea butter and jojoba oil are wonderful healing, protecting, and deeply nourishing ingredients. Coconut oil is the star moisturizer. It does not smother and suffocate skin; rather it sinks in, its fatty acids holding
onto moisture and making your lips soft and smooth. It will also reinforce the skin’s lipid (fat) layer and promote
hydration. The beeswax can act as an emollient (moisturizer) and protect your lips from the elements, but mostly
it is what gives your balm its body and holds everything together. The peppermint essential oil is just your
classic lip balm smell and taste. Y es, peppermint contains menthol, but it is NOT the same as the concentrated
or high amounts of menthol found in many brands of lip balm. This may feel more “slick” than some store bought
balm at first but that goes away quickly as it sinks in and moisturizes!Basic Lip Balm
-1 tablespoon of grated
beeswax or beeswax pastilles
-1 tablespoon of coconut oil
-1 tablespoon of jojoba oil
-1 tablespoon of shea butter
-5 drops of peppermint oil 1. In a double boiler melt your beeswax, coconut oil, and jojoba oil. 2. Remove from the heat and stir in the shea butter, followed by the

is, cold sores always show up at the most inconvenient times. Caused
by the herpes simplex virus, cold sores are small, fluid filled lesions
that generally pop up on or around your lips. These blisters will cluster
together and, after breaking, form a painful crust. Cold sores are contagious, and unfortunately, they will never totally go
away. Because they are a virus, there is no cure. The virus lies dormant
until it is triggered by something (e.g. stress or diet) and it rears its
ugly head. They can be transferred by something as benign as sharing
eating utensils, or a water bottle. That being said, you can do a number
of things to help relieve the pain, shorten the timespan they affect you,
and even prevent them. Cold Sores
-One of the most important things
you can do for a cold sore is
either keep it dry, or keep it moist. Experiment, and whichever one
brings you the most relief, roll
with it. Some people find relief
in moisture as the blister’s crust
doesn’t crack as easily, while
others find that drying out the sore
makes it go away faster. -A simple remedy-ice it! The ice
works two-fold, first by numbing
the irritated area, and second
by helping tamp down the
inflammation. If dryness bothers
you, pat any water away after you
remove the ice and apply a dab of
neutral moisturizer. -Get rid of your toothbrush, as
they often carry the virus that
hangs out so close to the mouth. If
you keep reusing your toothbrush
you run the risk of triggering an
outbreak. -Keep a diary of outbreaks and
anything you are eating/drinking/
doing at the time. It can help you
learn what to do in the future to
prevent outbreaks. -Start using a remedy the moment
you feel a cold sore coming on. Alternative Moisturizer

infection from setting in, especially if you’ve picked at it. Tea tree oil will also dry it out, and its antimicrobial
properties can’t hurt the healing time. This recipe calls for making a fairly solid balm, but you can also just mix
the witch hazel, tea tree oil, and a little bit of carrier oil and apply that directly to the sore. The nice thing about
the balm is that you get a little bit of protection in addition to the “drying” action. Don’t be alarmed at the strong
odor (tea tree oil has a very distinct smell), or the fact that it may form tiny bubbles when you are making it.Witch Hazel & Tea Tree Oil Balm

beeswax
-1 teaspoon of witch hazel
-5 drops of tea tree essential

hazel and tea tree oil. Pour into a little tin and keep handy for outbreaks,
dabbing a little on the sore as needed. Make sure to wash your hand
afterwards, otherwise you could possibly contaminate the tin. Optimally
you should keep fresh cotton swabs on hand so you don’t have to touch
the balm, or your sore, directly. 173Copyright 2014 everydayroots.com Cold SoresY ou will need… DirectionsVanilla extract, being alcohol based, is thought to make a less-friendly environment for the virus, and is quite

Ionic diffusion takes place according to Fick's first
law -Q = D(6cl6x) in which Q (in mol m·2 s-1) is
the quantity of ions traversing a unit area of solvent
per unit time. The factor Dis the diflusion coefficient,
which expresses (in m-zs-1) the proportiona l ability
of an ion to diffuse a distance dx in a solvent at a
concentrl:ltion difference de. In ~ nonst~dy ~tare thi~
concept can often be expressed as x = constant VDc,
where D =diffusion constant (m-Zs-1) and t = time
(sec). It is evident that liquid junction potentials will,
starting from zero in a closed container, develop a
maximum potential difference and then return to zero. Considering a nonstationary condition, the amount
of material Q passing a unit area A per second over a
distance dx will lead to the following equation
QA-(Q + £Q.dx)A = <k Adx, (Eq. XIII: 9), ox 01
which in words tells us that the inflow of material Q
through the area A, minus the rate of Q through the
area A over the distance dx, equals the concentra
tion change per unit time through the distance dx
through the same area A. This equation can then be
simplified to the well known continuity equation
-6Q16x = 6c/6t. By substhuting Fick's first law into
the continuity equation we obtain Fick's second law
6d6x=D(62cl6x'), which in a three-dimensional
distribution, gives oc/61= D(62dox2+o2cloy2+
o2cloz'). This equation describes one function of local
administrat ion of a drug during application of direct
current in tissue (Chapter XIV). In many instances, a
more general expression for diffusability of material is
used than the one for ionic mobility:
Diffusion coeff = D. = u. · RT 1 1 z.F I (Eq. XIII: 10). Values of charge number, equivalent conductances
and diffusion coefficients of some selected ions at infi
nite dilution in water at 25°C are compiled in Table
XIII: 8 (13). Table XIII: 8 shows that most ionic diffusion coeffi
cients are about I or 2x10-' cm2 sec-•, except for
hydrogen ions and hydroxyl ions, for which D; is 9.3
and 5.3x10-5 cm2 sec-•, respectively. The equivalent conductance A of salt is obtained by
summation of the values of each ion pair
(Eq. XIII: II). Table XIII: 8. Values of equiNienJ conductonm and diffusjqn

The actual conductivity of a tissue then depends on
the sum of diflerent /\;: and their concentrations in
relation to "nonconducting''substances. Among the
"nonconductors", bone, fibrous tissue, dielectric
components in cell membranes, sucrose, neutral fat,
gas and water are the most important. Biologic tissues
can therefore be regarded as electric conductors pos
sessing differenc intersected ohmic and capacitative
resistances. This property also makes it possible theo
retically to predict the existence of preferential path
ways for electric current in tissues. Fig. XIII: 3 shows how an ionic separation may take
place by diflusion at the interface between a droplet of
a strong HCl solution in a weak HCI solution. The
ionic separation leads to one electropositive and one
electronegative phase. The individual proton and chloride ions represent
here the smallest components of an ion pair. The
symbol L!l indicates that each ion carries four physico-

Fig. XIII: 3. Liquid Junction potential arising from the de
velopment of two ionars (spatially separated collections of
ions). (a) Droplet of concentrated HCI solution to the right,
in diluted HCl solution. The dotted line indicates only an in
terface and is not a membrane. Each ion carries a physico
chemical charge of four interdependent energy components
(visualized as a tetrahedron symbol 1!1). (b) Because protons
diffuse more rapidly than other ions, a relative excess of pro-
tons collects temporarily to the left and an excess of chloride
ions to the right, giving rise to a transient electric potential
difference. (c) The potential profile through these phases
shows two collections of ion!O (ionars), on~ electropos.itivdy
and one electroncgatively charged. The shapes and charges
of their cross sectional charge profiles are different, although
their total charge is equal. For further explanation, see lCXl. chemical energies (Eq. Xlll: I, Fig. XIII: 2). Due to
diffusion of the ions, an electric junction potential will
deve!op. Before diffusion, ele<:troneutral ity was pre
sent inside and outside the droplet. The chemical
dispersion forces are, however, stronger than the con
centration forces, which leads to some degree of sepa
ration. The resulting electric liquid junction potential
is therefore an example of the internal dependence of
chemical and electrical forces leading to spatially new
energy constellations of transient, diffusing ionars. Also in this connection, volume-pressure and gravita
tional energy components must not be neglected. Fig. XIII: 3, it should also be noted, shows that one of the

enhance ionic separation during metabolic activiry. The
