 around the glans;
she can do the same with her own saliva. The woman can vary the
caress by pumping the shaft up and down with her grasping hand,
but she must take care not to bring the man to ejaculation, unless
this is intended. This stop-and-go technique can help the man de
lay or avoid ejaculation, while giving him great pleasure and rous
ing him tremendously. If she desires, the woman can supplement her cares sing with
kissing the stalk. While holding the shaft, she can tentatively kiss
the glans, then take it from there. Tlu· Alchemy (?f Dt•sire
11)1) AN CIENT SECRE TS FOR MODERN LOVERS
Love-play between partners is an extremely intimate and per
sonal act. It is best tailored by the partners themselves according
to their aesthetics and desires. They can create their own play of
love--cotnedy, drama, or fantasy. As the ancient Taoists shrewdly
found out, by harmonizing Yin and Yang through love-play, a
couple can augment greatly their sexual energy for a fulfilling
sexual union. 15

Love Games /or Grown-ups Onl y
PLAYING AT LOVE is most delightful when it is spontaneous and
whimsic al. At times, however, one can enliven it with some cho
reography. Love games add variety, excite the imagination, and
stimulate creativity. Following are suggested love games for mod
ern lovers, adapted from or inspired by ancient Chinese sexolo
gists. SPRING BuTTERFLY
This titillating game was invented by Chinese painters and cal
ligraphers of yore. It requires a Chinese brush-pen, which has a
soft, delicate pointed brush of sable, fox, or rabbit hair set in a
thin bamboo tube. These brushes are available in Oriental sta
tionery stores and bookstores; if you cannot find one, buy a
Western-style artist's paintbrush. Avoid "fiat" or "bright" brushes,
which are square-edged. A "round" brush is serviceable, but the
best is a "long," or pointed, brush. Avoid also stiff brushes, such
as those made of hog bristle; camel or squirrel hair is adequate,
but springy, soft sable is the best. The brush-pen is the butterfly in springtime, and the nude
body of the passive partner is the flower-covered landscape of
201 hills and dales. This partner should lie totally relaxed, with eyes
closed. Apply the springy tip of the brush to the partner's body
like a flirtatious butterfly-here, there, everywhere. The tip of the
brush first flits lightly over hands and feet, then moves to arms,
legs, and other parts of the body. The "artist" concentrates on
such sensitive spots as the fingertips, the palms, the insides of the
elbows, the armpits, the soles, between the toes, behind the knees,
and especially the insides of the thighs. Various parts of the face,
including the lips, are titillated next. Then down the neck to the
breasts, the cinnabar field, and the groin. The butterfly touches
arc delicious to the closed-eyed partner-especially as it is not
known where they will land next. The tiny, electric spasms cre
ated on the skin are likely to bring forth a plea for firmer caresses. The artist should not give in to such a plea until the moist landing
is ready. For this exquisite stage, dip the tip of the brush in a little aro
matic oil. On a woman, caress her areolas and nipples with the
oiled brush; go around and around, and flit between the breasts. Next, open her legs and let the butterfly flirt along her perineum
and vulva. Then brush her clitoris, first in upward strokes, next in
a circular motion. On a man, brush his perineum and scrotum
and the exposed glans. You may give your loved one a n1arvelous,
unforgettable hour with this extraordinary game. A woman with long eyelashes can turn them into spring but
terflies by blinking at her partner at extrcn1cly close quarters. A
n1an can con1mandeer his moustache for the san1e purpose. Such
tnaneuvers n1ay prove exhausting, however, if the whole territory
is to be covered. PEACOCK TEASE
This gan1e was invented centuries ago, when the peacock feather
bcca n1e a decoration of tneri torious serv ice to the etnperor. No
blcnH. 'n who were interested in a dift crcn t type of tneritorious ser
vice used a pea coc k feather playfully on their won1en. Nowada ys
either partn er, tnalc or fenulc, can usc the tcather on the other. feathers frmn ostriches, pheasan ts, storks, and even chickens also
can be used. He advised that featht'rs do not have as wide a varia
tion in pressu re as an artist' s brush. SPIDER ·s LEGs
In this French lovc-gatnc. J'•lftcs d',ml�l! "t;f, the tingt·rtips ;1nd tin
ger pads play on the par tner's body hair. and occasiona lly skin,
with the lightest toucht ·s possible. Likt · thl· spring butt erfl y, the
spider can go all over the body. SILK TEASE
For this love ganll\ a scarf or ling erie of genuine silk is preferable;
otherwise soft acetate \vill do. Do not use nylon, as it is too stiff
Crun1ple the scarf or other iten1 slightly in your hand, and usc it
to caress various parts of your partner's body. Silk gives a rich,
luxurious sensation, quite different from that of brush-pens or
feathers. SNIFF-KISSING
The snitT-kiss is used here to its full extent if your partner's skin is
perfumed lightly with crushed jasmine or tuberose, or if your
partner's body emits its own sexual aroma. Begin by inhaling and
sniffing the breath of your loved one. Nudge your nose on your
partner's cheeks, eyelids, and neck, and continue the scented pil
grimage up the peak and down the valley. The natural scent of
aroused genitals is a strong aphrodisiac between lovers. ToNGUE SwE EP
This game may-and quite naturally does-start with a roving
kiss. The tongue is lavished on a partner with touches ranging
from the lightest tickling with the tip to a firm brushing with its
rough surface. Zero in on the ear cavity, under the chin, and the
palms and soles. Then target the navel, the breasts and nipples, in
side the thighs, and the perineum. A thorough tongue tease will deplete your supply of saliva,
no matter how much you may drool. Intersperse the sweep with
sniff-kisses. 203 A N C I f N T S E C R F T S 1-' ( l R M ( l I > 1; H N I ( ) V fl. I� S
LovE PoiNTS
An1ong the most fascinating but least known aspects of ancient
Chinese erotica is the system of specific acupoints along the body's
meridians that when properly stimulated cause immediate sexual
arousal, long-term boosting of sexual stamina, and/or tunc-up of
the autonomic nervous system controlling many sexual sensa
tions and functions. Each of these love points is a carefully mapped
acupoint in classical acupuncture. Each has an equivalent interna
tional code number used by Western and other non-Chinese re
searchers in acupuncture. The hui-yin point on the perineum, for
example, now carries the international label "CV-1" (number 1
point of the conception vessel). In traditional acupuncture, most
of these acupoints have general health as well as sexual functions. The love points are presented here in a very simplified man
ner, and are selected accor ding to the zones of the body rather
than a specific meridian. This is for the practical use of modern
lovers who do not have the time or patience to spend months
studying such acupoints. The love points can be located on the
relevant maps on this page and the following two pages; individ
ual names are given only for selected points. Love points are scattered all over the human body, but the ma
jority are concentrated on the torso. Acupressure, not acupunc
ture, may be used on love points; indeed, some love points should
never be pricked by needles. Some points may be stroked or gently
pressed and vibrated with the fingertips, while others may be
massaged with the palm. It is at times difficult to locate love
points and other acupoints on the body, but in many cases they
can be found if finger pressure causes a sensation of tenderness. Partners who


the smo ke had cleared, we en ded up owning all three of
these compani es—WebMD, Healtheon, and Envoy. Just
a short time ag o, no one cou ld have even imagined how
such a thing c ould ever take place. It was like so much
else I had experienced; the unimaginable had actually
happened. The presentations to Marv and his team went very
well. There was palpable excitement in the room
throughout the day. Nonethe less, when I returned later
that evening, I was shocked t o see what had happened to
the meeting room. Stretched around the walls of the
room w ere com puter printou ts with the names of all the
Medical Manager Practice Services Division’s two
thousand employees. Hanging like wallpaper, they
foreshadowed the day plan ned for tomorrow: every
name o n the list would need to be justified. I was aghast,
especially since we had recently requested additional
employees to keep up with our growth. Returning home that evenin g, I was very concerned
about the fate of my employees. Tomorrow could turn
out to be a very ugly day. At the same time, I knew that
Marv h ad to cut costs, and it  was my job as a corporate
executive to help him. This could have created a lot of
inner t ension, but I decided to just surrender to the
reality of the s ituation and be open to balancing these
two areas of co ncern. I came to peace that night knowing
my hea rt was in the right place, and when tomorrow
came, I would do the best I could. The next morning when I e ntered the room, I was
again shocked  by what I saw. The printouts had been
taken down, and the walls were back to normal. Before I
could inquire what was going on, Marv’s second in
command walk ed me out to the hall. He told me that he
and Marv had met last night,  and the decision was made
to s kip the “bloodletting” and allow us to continue the
fine work we were doing. He told me they were very
impressed with  what we had achieved and with our plans
for t he future. As they saw no  need for the second day of
meetings, Mar v had taken an  early flight out. His team
packed up, shook our hands, and went on their way. I
have no  idea to this day if the rest of my management
team ever saw the ominous sight of those wallpapered
walls. I realized just how extraord inary these events were
when a few hours later I rece ived a call from the head of
HR at corporate headquarters in New Jersey. He was
completely beside himself. He playfully asked me what I
had us ed to drug Marv wh ile he was down here in
Alachua. He went on to say th at he doubted that such an
event had ever taken place in the annals of corporate
history. We were all well aware that Marv’s purpose in
life was to cut costs. That he w ould come down here with
that int ention, and simply walk away, is a tribute to both
the quality of our division a nd to Marv as a manager. Medical Manager and I received a number of tributes in2000, but none was more meaningful to me than
receiving such a vote of confidence from someone I
respected so much. 4 9. H a n g i n g  O u t  i n  W a s h i n g t o n
T he year  2000 not only ushere d in a new millennium, it
brought with it a flurry of rec ognition for the pinnacle of
success that The Medical Manager had achieved. To me,
who wa s just on the magic c arpet for the ride, it was all
simply a tribute to the perfection of life’s flow. I had not
sought any recognition; I had just thrown myself into
life’s wind to see where it would take me. I w as invited by one of our previous board members,
Ray Kurzweil, to join him at the White House in March
where he was to receive the National Medal of Honor in
Technology. Ray is credited with many major inventions,
including the first microchip that allowed an electronic
keyboard to sound like a g rand piano and other real
instruments. He is also considered one of the fathers of
speech recogn ition software. Ray had been on Medical
Manager Corporation’s board, and I had sat on Kurzweil
Education System’s board. Through it all we had become
good friends. He even stayed with us at the Temple a few
times and showed a serious interest in Eastern
philosophy. I would have to wear a tuxedo to the While
House, which was far from m y normal attire, but I was
excited about joining Ray for this honor. Like many others, I had been to the White House as a
tourist but certainly not as  a guest of the president. There was a cocktail party a fter the ceremony, and we
were al lowed t o walk freely t hroughout the rooms of the
first flo or residence. I gazed out a window in the Green
Room t hat ove rlooked the Washington Monument and
thought about how many presidents had taken in thatview. Getting used to actually sitting on the antique
furniture in those rooms was difficult enough, but then I
kept realizing that the people I was having conversations
with were all N ational Medal of Honor winners in some
field of science. President Clinton joined the mix, and I
even ran into S tevie Wonder  in the hallway. All in all, it
was one of tho se “what am I doing here” moments. I’m a
yogi w ho mo ved out to t he woods to meditate. I
surrendered to the flow of life, and I end up here—
unbelievable. That was not my only trip to Washington that year. The ve ry next month I came back to represent The
Medical Manager when it was installed into the archives
of t he Smithsonian Institution. The Smithsonian was
sponsoring an  effort to d ocument the Information
Technology Revolution for future generations. In much
the same way as we now look at the Industrial
Revolution, someday people will be fascinated by the
time pe riod in  which computers revolutionized how we
live. Each year a panel of CE Os of the world’s leading IT
companies did a search for organizations that had done
extraordinary work in the field. Because of our work in
the are a of electronic health -care transactions, Medical
Manager was one of the com panies selected in the year
2000 to  have its story preserved in a time capsule for the
future. There was a grand ban quet the night before and a
ceremony at the museum the  next day. I brought a few of
the old- time employees with me, as well as Donna and
Durga. Reflecting back twenty years to when I was sitting
in that  twelve-by-twelve-foot room in the woods by
myself writing this program, one could never have
imagined that it would lead to the Smithsonian. As i t turned out, I would have to return to DC once
again in August of 2000 on a  very important trip. I had
been asked to represent the company at a meeting with
the Department of Justice (DOJ). Before larger
companies can combine, the U. S. government reservesthe right to determine if the combination could stifle
competition and violate antitrust laws. In the case of the
Healtheon/WebMD–Medical Manager merger, the
government requested very detailed information and a
face-to-face meeting. The reason for this was that
Medical Manager Netw ork Services was sending so many
claims to Envoy that the g overnment was concerned
about allowing  us to become part of the same company. My immediate  reaction to this situation was one of deep
humility. Had  Medical Manager actually reached the

eludes	some	and	embraces	others,	and	I	now	know	that	food	primarily
determines	the	outcome. This	information	could	not	come	at	a	better	time. Our	health	care	system	costs	too	much,	it	excludes	far	too	many	people	and	it
does	not	promote	health	and	prevent	disease. Volumes	have	been	written	on
how	the	problem	might	be	solved,	but	progress	has	been	painfully	slow.SICKNESS,	ANYONE? If	you	are	male	in	this	country,	the	American	Cancer	Society	says	that	you
have	a	47%	chance	of	getting	cancer. If	you	are	female,	you	fare	a	little	better,
but	you	still	have	a	whopping	38%	lifetime	chance	of	getting	cancer. 1
	The
rates	at	which	we	die	from	cancer	are	among	the	highest	in	the	world,	and	it
has	been	getting	worse	(
Chart	1.1
). Despite	thirty	years	of	the	massively
funded	War	on	Cancer,	we	have	made	little	progress. Contrary	to	what	many	believe,	cancer	is	not	a	natural	event. Adopting
a
healthy	diet	and	lifestyle	can	prevent	the	majority	of	cancers	in	the	United

But	cancer	is	only	part	of	a	larger	picture	of	disease	and	death	in	America. Looking	elsewhere,	we	see	that	there	is	an	overall	pattern	of	poor	health. For
example,	we	are	rapidly	becoming	the	heaviest	people	on	earth. Overweight
Americans	now	significantly	outnumber	those	who	maintain	a	healthy	weight. As	shown	in

past	several	decades. 2
According	to	the	National	Center	for	Health	Statistics,	almost	a	third	of
the	adults	twenty	years	of	age	and	over	in	this	country	are	obese! 3
	One	is
considered	obese	if	he	or	she	is	carrying	more	than	a	third	of	a
person	above
and	beyond	a	healthy	weight. Similarly	frightening	trends	have	been

But	cancer	and	obesity	are	not	the	only	epidemics	casting	a	large	shadow
over	American	health. Diabetes	has	also	increased	in	unprecedented
proportions. One	out	of	thirteen	Americans	now	has	diabetes,	and	that	ratio
continues	to	rise. If	we	don’t	heed	the	importance	of	diet,	millions	of
additional	Americans	will	unknowingly	develop	diabetes	and	suffer	its
consequences,	including	blindness,	limb	amputation,	cardiovascular	disease,
kidney	disease	and	premature	death. Despite	this,	fast	food	restaurants	that
serve	nutritionally	defunct	foods	are	now	fixtures	in	almost	every	town. We
eat	out	more	than	ever
4
	and	speed	has	taken	precedence	over	quality. As	we
spend	more	time	watching	TV,	playing	video	games	and	using	the	computer,
we	are	less	physically	active. Both	diabetes	and	obesity	are	merely	symptoms	of	poor	health	in	general.They	rarely	exist	in	isolation	of	other	diseases	and	often	forecast	deeper,	more
serious	health	problems,	such	as	heart	disease,	cancer	and	stroke. Two	of	the
most	frightening	statistics	show	that	diabetes	among	people	in	their	thirties
has	increased	70%	in	less	than	ten	years	and	the	percentage	of	obese	people
has	nearly	doubled	in	the	past	thirty	years. Such	an	incredibly	fast	increase	in
these	“signal”	diseases	in	America’s	young	to	middle-age	population	forecasts
a	health	care	catastrophe	in	the	coming	decades. It	may	become	an	unbearable

But	the	most	pervasive	killer	in	our	culture	is	not	obesity,	diabetes	or
cancer. It	is	heart	disease. Heart	disease	will	kill	one	out	of	every	three
Americans. According	to	the	American	Heart	Association,	over	60	million
Americans	currently	suffer	from	some	form	of	cardiovascular	disease,
including	high	blood	pressure,	stroke	and	heart	disease. 8
	Like	me,	you
undoubtedly	have	known	someone	who	died	of	heart	disease. But	since	my
own	father	died	from	a	heart	attack	over	thirty	years	ago,	a	great	amount	of
knowledge	has	been	uncovered	in	understanding	this	disease. The	most
dramatic	recent	finding	is	that	heart	disease	can	be	prevented	and	even
reversed	by	a	healthy	diet. 9,	10
	People	who	cannot	perform	the	most	basic
physical	activity	because	of	severe	angina	can	find	a	new	life	simply	by
changing	their	diets. By	embracing	this	revolutionary	information,	we	could
collectively	defeat	the	most	dangerous	disease	in	this	country.OOPS…WE	DIDN’T	MEAN	TO	HAVE	THAT
HAPPEN! As	increasing	numbers	of	Americans	fall	victim	to	chronic	diseases,	we	hope
that	our	hospitals	and	doctors	will	do	all	that	they	can	to	help	us. Unfortunately,	both	the	newspapers	and	the	courts	are	filled	with	stories	and
cases	that	tell	us	that	inadequate	care	has	become	the	norm. One	of	the	most	well	regarded	voices	representing	the	medical	community,
the
Journal	of	the	American	Medical	Association
	(JAMA),	included	a	recent
article	by	Barbara	Starfield,	M.D.,	stating	that	physician	error,	medication
error	and	adverse	events	from	drugs	or	surgery	kill	225,400	people	per	year
(

	That	makes	our	health	care	system	the	third	leading	cause	of

lower	in	fat	than	the	average	American	dinner,	but	they’ve	done	it	without
adjusting	their	proportionate	intakes	of	animal-	and	plant-based	foods. Both
meals	are	centered	on	animal-based	foods. In	fact,	the	low-fat	meal	actually
has	more	animal-based	foods	than	the	high-fat	meal. In	effect,	this	is	how	the
nurses	in	the	Nurses’	Health	Study	achieved	such	a	wide	variation	in	fat
intake. Some	nurses	simply	are	more	diligent	about	choosing	low-fat	animalproducts. Many	people	would	consider	the	low-fat	meal	to	be	a	triumph	of	healthy
meal	planning,	but	what	about	the	other	nutrients	in	these	meals? What	about
protein	and	cholesterol? As
it	turns	out,	the	low-fat	meal	contains	more	than
double	the	protein	of	the	high-fat	meal,	and	almost	all	of	it	comes	from
animal-based	foods. In	addition,	the	low-fat	meal	contains	almost	twice	as
much	cholesterol

ely mineralized bones of adequate thickness, together
with wide chests and broad dental arches. X-rays of the
infants given heat-processed milk showed thin and fragile bones, abnormal mineral deposits, narrow chests, and
underdeveloped dental arches. Dr. Kirkpatrick ascribes the development of enlarged
hearts, with valvular involvement, in many cases to the use of
pasteurized milk. Some of the children are said to rapidly
recover if raw milk is substituted for the pasteurized milk. "Without raw milk, recovery does not occur" declares Dr. Kirkpatrick "and those who reach the age of 10 or 15 will,
upon examination, show chronic heart diseases which are
usually diagnosed as rheumatic fever; so the patient usually goes through life a semi-invalid. I personally know of many
children, who were suffering from heart complications, who
have made complete recovery in a few months by drinking
raw milk along with other wholesome food, and with no direct treatment to the heart." Contrary to popular belief, raw milk affords greater
resistance to both undulant fever and typhoid fever than does pasteurized milk. Undulant fever is today more common in
large cities where pasteurization is a requirement than in rural
areas where some raw milk is used. Madsen of Denmark has
indeed stated that "no case (undulant fever) has ever been
observed in the hospitals and asylums for children in Copenhagen or elsewhere where raw milk is used in large
quantities." The famous epidemic of typhoid fever in
Montreal during 1927, in which there were 5,353 cases and
400 deaths
, was restricted entirel y to families who purchased milk from the Montreal Dairy and its associated National
Dairy Company, both of which distributed only pasteurized
milk. Tuberculosis is also more prevalent in areas requiring the
pasteurization of milk products. An interesting example of
this is afforded by a letter printed and signed by eight members of parliament in England, in which important
statistics on this question are referred to. The letter states:
"May we here adduce certain facts relating to a single county
as recorded in the last report of  the Medical Officer of Health
for Hertfordshire: This county has a population of 420,000 souls, and all the milk drunk by them is produced in the
county. During 1932 there were 45 deaths in all from surgical
tuberculosis, of which 33 were children under 15. In 13 rural
districts, where the whole supply is in the hands of small
retailers of raw milk, there were no deaths at all during the year from surgical tuberculosis. The highest death rate was in
an urban area where the population lives under model
conditions and practically all the milk supply is pasteurized." A further study of the relationship between milk and
tuberculosis was made by Dr. MacDonald, Medical Officer to Dr. Barnardo's Homes in England. Dr. MacDonald reported
that, among 750 children who were given pasteurized milk
along with other food for a period of five years, 14 cases of
tuberculosis developed. Another 750 boys were given raw
milk for an equal period of time, with the other conditions, including the rest of the diet, the same as with the other
group. During this time, only one case of tuberculosis
developed, which represents a 1,400 per cent advantage for the unpasteurized group. It was also reported that chilblains
were absent among the boys of this group, whereas they were quite common among those receiving pasteurized milk. G
ENERAL RAW FOOD EXPERIENCES
   The effects of consuming heat-processed fruits, vegetables,
nuts, honey, eggs, meat, and other foods are probably as
pronounced, if not more so, as those of consuming
pasteurized milk. The heat used in the pasteurization process ranges from 145 to 160 degrees F. for regular milk, and up to
186 degrees F. for homogenized milk, which is a lower
degree of heat than is used in treating many other foods. Nor
does the application of heat extend for a longer period of time
than is so applied in different cooking methods. Thirty minutes is the period of time in pasteurizing milk at 145
degrees F., and homogenized milk is pasteurized by the flash
method. The frequent losses of minerals into cooking water
(then discarded ) in ve getable cooker y are perhaps even more damaging to the respective foods than pasteurization is to
milk. So we may expect to find that the use of cooked foods of all
kinds induce physical impairment, corresponding in
accordance with quantity of intake, to those of pasteurized
milk. Likewise, we may expect the use of raw foods of all kinds to give physical benefits, corresponding in accordance
with quantity of intake, to those of raw milk. Examples of this
in actual practice are found in non-institutional medical cases
and in various human experiences not associated with direct
medical supervision. They are also found in a number of scientific institutions and medical clinics and sanitariums
where raw foods are used in the treatment of specific
diseases. The non-institutional cases involving the exclusive use of
raw foods are relatively few in number but important. Over a
hundred years ago Sylvester Graham of America called
attention to the advantages of raw foods, and he stressed the fact that, "the artificial process of cooking is decidedly and
often exceedingly inimical, not only to the physiological
interests of the alimentary organs, but also to the whole
human system." The many thousands of followers of Graham
in the eighteen-thirties and forties did subsist largely upon raw foods, and their complete freedom from cholera during
the widespread cholera epidemics of that time is of peculiar
historical interest. Since the days of Graham, the raw food
diet from time to time has found enthusiastic advocates in the
persons of Thomas, Drews, Christian, Estes, Richter, Gibbon, and others, who arrived at the same conclusions through
empirical observation that we now do through scientific
analysis. At one time (1900) there were estimated to be three thousand people in Chicago living upon the raw food regime,
and during a later period a special cafeteria operated in Los Angeles which served only foods in the uncooked state. Many years ago Prof. Jaffra, of the University of Southern
California, made a study of a number of families, who, for
religious, ethical, and scientific reasons, subsisted almost
entirely upon raw fruits and raw nuts. Prof. Jaffra found these people to be in excellent health, with unusual freedom from
colds and other ailments. Both children and adults were
below average in weight, and in addition the children were
below average in height. This was attributed by Prof. Jaffra to
the limitation of food types consumed, in particular to the complete lack of all animal food products. Subsequent
observations of families living upon raw foods have indicated
much the same. Many have reported a rapid improvement in
health after ado
pting the raw diet, with the remed y of severe and long-standing diseases. Height and weight of children, as
well as the dental condition, have appeared to depend upon
the number of food types being consumed; when these have
been adequate, favorable results in every particular have been
the common rule. A raw food experience of worthy note is that of the
scientist, Dr. Ferd L. Stone, who conducted research into the
mysteries of anabolism in his strange laboratory near the
Scottish village of Wick on the North Sea. Dr. Stone stated
that "biological constructive metabolism changes by which
staple food becomes complex living material in a cell" are ended, with rapid nutritive losses, when the flesh of animals
is exposed to oxygen through cooking and storage. He
believed that man's health would improve if he consumed
only flesh from animals instantly after their slaughter. Using
his own body for experimental purposes, Dr. Stone lived exclusively upon the raw flesh of animals for over 25 years to
determine its effects upon his own constitution. In his
laboratory he obtained his flesh from live goats, sheep, dogs,
lion cubs, and other animals which were clamped to cutting
blocks. Moving later to a jungle area of Kenya province in Africa, he subsisted upon the raw flesh of lions, giant hogs,
and other wild animals which abounded in this region. At one
time he visited Nairobi for a medical examination, and some
ten years later he appeared in Voi to check up on his weight
and general physical condition, where he was found to be a "fine physical specimen in spite of his advanced years." Dr.
Robert Gunther, the examining physician, declared: "The
remarkable thing about Dr. Stone is that, although he is now approaching 70, he has the youthful and robust health of a
chap of 25 or 30." Dr. Stone's unique experiment came to an
end in 1943, when he was fatally wounded by wild animals
during a hunting expedition. Another instance involving the
exclusive use of raw foods over a long period of time is seen in that of an African boy who subsisted for 13 years in wild
nature upon raw foods, and then lived 6 years in civilization
"on raw vegetables and fruits, raw fish and eggs, and such
flies and bugs as he catches and eats alive." The press report
of December 7, 1930


us. It was
just the opposite of what it should be to be healthy! These were the results for 500 of the patients who had come to my offic e.

Obviously, the bowel of the average patient was not what i s should be. I have taken care of bowel problems through colonics. I
have recommended colonics frequently to my patients, but you see, this alone doesn’t bring healing lines into the eyes, becau se
healing signs come when there is a new chemical balance in the tissue. I deal in tissue, and when I see various bowel conditions
indicated from the eyes, I can’t tell you that the problem is always diverticula. It could be diverticula and I would say 9 t imes out
of 10 it is, because X -rays I have examined have dem onstrated it as such. It is so important to mention that through iridology I have found reflex conditions from problems in the bowel. There is a de finite
relation between certain organ conditions and the bowel conditions as indicated in the eye. For ins tance, I examined a lady who
had torticollis (a wry neck) and when I told her I would have to adjust her neck, she refused because she’d had several adjus tments
to her neck and it only seemed to become worse each time. She just couldn’t stand to have anybo dy touch it again. Well, I’m a
chiropractor and I’m supposed to do adjustments. I was just starting in iridology but I had to do something, so I checked her  eyes
and found a black pocket. When I asked if she had ever had bowel trouble, she said she’d had i t for years ever since her neck
trouble began. Lately, the bowel problem had become worse. I prescribed an enema right away. She had three enemas and in one
hour’s time while I was still there, she obtained complete relief from the stiff neck problem. I wa lked out of there and I hadn’t
touched her neck. I only took care of the bowel. This was quite an experience and I will never forget it. Another patient came to see me some months later who had a large abscess on his neck, and in looking into the iris of his eye, I
saw a large black hole with the most beautiful healing signs coming into it. I know you cannot have healing signs unless ther e is a
change in diet. It is very necessary to talk about food. He said he had been driving behind a citrus truck which overturned and
spilled oranges all over the road. When he stopped to help, the truck driver told him to pick up as many as he wanted, so he filled
the trunk of his car and drank orange juice for 45 days. This certainly was an extreme elimination diet, but he couldn’t get rid of
the accumulated toxic material in his body fast enough through normal elimination because he wasn’t doing enough in taking
care of the bowel. The overload of toxic material being eliminated produced the abscess on his neck. INHERENT  WEAKNESSES
Inherent weaknesses are areas of the body where toxic materials finally accumulate. It is in these organs that infection deve lops. We can have an infection in the lung, we can have abscessed teeth, we can have these problems in various parts of  the body, and
invariably, these infections come originally from the bowel. I have found a striking correlation in my iridology studies over  the last
45 years, confirming that there is a definite relationship between conditions in sections of the bowel and  conditions in other
specific parts of the body. When a patient complains of a breast condition, there is a certain place in the bowel that I susp ect
harbors a low -grade infection which is affecting the breast area; or, other areas of the body nay have pro blems that can be traced to
the bowel. Why separately treat any organ in the body if we find that the source of the problem is in the bowel? Look again t o John
Wayne. Is it possible that he should have been treated in the bowel area before the stomach and lung? I wonder also about the
famous comedian, Jack Benny, who had a perfect examination just two months before he died of cancer. Could his death have
been prevented? In one instance, a boy came to me with left leg problems. He had been treated for three  years with massage, mechanical and
chemical treatments. Examining the iris of his eye, I found a section of the sigmoid colon, the last part of the colon before  it goes
to the rectal area, I that was quite black. Since we cannot identify a disease from th e iris, I refused to treat him until he had an X -
ray. He had not had an X -ray until that time. It was discovered that he had cancer of the sigmoid colon and this boy died six
months later. I believe this tumor was causing the reflex conditions in his leg, but he had been treated only for the leg problem. We
had many experiences in which black areas in patients’ irides showed specific troubles in various organs in the body, and I’v e been
able to verify these in thousands of cases. I have seen many good resu lts from caring for the bowel. I haven’t confirmed complete relief coming only from colonics. I’ve seen
relief, but if you don’t change the diet, I don’t believe colonics are worth anything. If you don’t take care of your marriag e
problems or financial dis turbances, I believe you can create more acids, more mucus problems and more disturbances with
distressed bowels, colitis and ulcers. With all the technical treatments available today, I believe we have to consider a com plete
cleansing that’s physical, men tal and spiritual. At the Battle Creek Sanitarium, they showed that you have to have a sufficient amount of the acidophilus bacteria, the friend ly
bacteria, as compared to the bacillus coli or the gas -producing bacteria. There are certain foods that produ ce and help to develop
friendly bacteria and there are certain foods that break down friendly bacteria. Meat can break down friendly bacteria when y ou
consume too much, especially when you have a static bowel or a lazy colon. We find that coffee destroys t he friendly bacteria in
the bowel more readily than anything. Chocolate also breaks down the friendly bacteria, as do over -cooked foods. We should
be working toward cleansing the body through better nutrition, more exercise, by changing our life habits and  go in a direction that
will be good for our whole body. Someone will ask, I’m sure, why we use coffee enemas if coffee breaks down the acidophilus? If one is in need of a coffee ene ma,
chances are that the acidophilus is already gone, and the benefits ob tained by its stimulation of elimination are very worthwhile. We re -establish the flora with implants after the cleansing. This takes courage, determination, perseverance and faith in the
ultimate, unseen outcome. Yet, by following the right path, by looki ng to nature as our model, we realize that our choice has the
best potential for health and happiness. It calls for a commitment to give up the old familiar, easy, toxic habits and take u p the
new, unknown, seemingly difficult unfamiliar ones. Changing hab its is the hardest task in the world to accomplish. It’s as if we
were made of quick -setting jelly, fresh and pliable right out of the jar, but soon to turn hard and brittle. There is a fear factor
involved in giving up an old habit. Even though it’s bad f or us to keep it there is still the comfortable feeling in knowing it. A bird
in the hand is worth two in the bush - but if the bird in the hand is a vulture, it may end up eating you some day. Don’t commit
intellectual suicide by closing yourself off to a lternative possibilities, for after all, if what you know and do now is killing you,
then you are suffering from a lack of knowledge and wisdom and the saving answer to your problem is to be found in the new,
unfamiliar territories. Alvin Toffler in Futur e Shock aptly states that man’s current and future task for survival is in his ability to adopt new ideas and
habits very quickly, in fact. much more quickly than he has ever managed in the past. Is he up to it’? Can he let go of the l ife-
snuffing old ways  quickly enough to recover from past and present mistakes in order to grab hold of a correct and viable
alternative? No one knows. We are in the midst of finding out. We should not accept anything that is not in balance with natu re
into our bodies. We cann ot improve upon God’s perfect order. It is suicide to try. It serves no good purpose and is destructive in all
ways. Whole, natural and raw is the absolute perfection that our bodies require and respond to best. Anything else is a cheat  and a
robber. Proce ssed, white sugar, for example, literally leaches out of the body certain substances. It requires energy and metabolic
substances pulled from the body’s bank account of nutrients to deal with it once ingested. In return, the sugar gives an incr edible
nothi ng. That’s correct, ‘nothing.’ In fact. it takes more to get rid of it than it gives and is therefore a thief of potent propo rtions. CHEMICAL IMBALANCES
When the body begins to lose its balance in any sector, there is a reverberation throughout the


, that is over again Jericho. And the Lord showed him
all the land of Gilead, unto Dan.”
You read that verse and say, “So what?” But take a concordance and look
up the words. The first word, Moses, means to draw out, to rescue, to lift
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenout, to fetch. In other words, Moses is the personification of the power in
man that can draw out of man that which he seeks, for everything comes
from within, not from without. You draw from within yourself that which
you now want to express as something objective to yourself. You are Moses coming out of the plains of Moab. The word Moab is a con -
traction of two Hebraic words, Mem and Ab, meaning mother-father. Your
consciousness is the mother-father, there is no other cause in the world. Your I Amness, your awareness, is this Moab or mother-father. You are al -
ways drawing something out of it. The next word is Nebo. In your concordance Nebo is defined as a prophe -
cy. A prophecy is something subjective. If I say, “So-and-so will be,” it is
an image in the mind; it is not yet a fact. We must wait and either prove
or disprove this prophecy. In our language Nebo is your wish, your desire. It is called a mountain
because it is something that appears difficult to ascend and is therefore
seemingly impossible of realization. A mountain is something bigger than
you are, it towers over you. Nebo personifies that which you want to be in
contrast to that which you are. The word Pisgah, by definition, is to contemplate. Jericho is a fragrant
odor. And Gilead means the hills of witnesses. The last word is Dan the
Prophet. Now put them all together in a practical sense and see what the ancients
tried to tell us. As I stand here, having discovered that my consciousness
is God, and that I can, by simply feeling that I am what I want to be,
transform myself into the likeness of that which I am assuming I am; I
know now that I am all that it takes to scale this mountain. I define my objective. I do not call it Nebo. I call it my desire. Whatever I
want, that is my Nebo, that is my great mountain that I am going to
scale. I now begin to contemplate it, for I shall climb to the peak of Pis -
gah. I must contemplate my objective in such a manner that I get the reaction
that satisfies. If I do not get the reaction that pleases then Jericho is not
seen, for Jericho is a fragrant odor. When I feel that I am what I want to be I cannot suppress the joy that
comes with that feeling. I must always contemplate my objective until I get the feeling of satisfac -
tion personified as Jericho. Then I do nothing to make it visible in my
world; for the hills of Gilead, meaning men, women, children, the whole
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenvast world round about me, come bearing witness. They come to testify
that I am what I have assumed myself to be, and am sustaining within
myself. When my world conforms to my assumption the prophecy is ful -
filled. If I now know what I want to be, and assume that I am it, and walk as
though I were, I become it and becoming it I so completely die to my for -
mer concept of self that I cannot point to any place in this world and say:
that is where my former self is buried. I so completely died that I defy
posterity to ever find where I buried my old self. There must be someone in this room who will so completely transform
himself in this world that his close immediate circle of friends will not rec -
ognize him. For ten years I was a dancer, dancing in Broadway shows, in vaudeville,
night clubs and in Europe. There was a time in my life when I thought I
could not live without certain friends in my world. I would spread a table
every night after the theater and we would all dine well. I thought I could
never live without them. Now I confess I could not live with them. We
have nothing in common today. When we meet we do not purposely walk
on the opposite side of the street, but it is almost a cold meeting because
we have nothing to discuss. I so died to that life that as I meet these peo -
ple they cannot even talk of the old times. But there are people living today who are still living in that state, getting
poorer and poorer. They always like to talk about the old times. They nev -
er buried that man at all, he is very much alive within their world. Moses was 120 years, a full, wonderful age as 120 indicates. One plus two
plus zero equals three, the numerical symbol of expression. I am fully
conscious of my expression. My eyes are undimmed and the natural func -
tions of my body are not abated. I am fully conscious of being what I do
not want to be. But knowing this law by which a man transforms himself, I assume that I
am what I want to be and walk in the assumption that it is done. In be -
coming it, the old man dies and all that was related to that former con -
cept of self dies with it. You cannot take any part of the old man into the
new man. You cannot put new wine in old bottles or new patches on old
garments. You must be a new being completely. As you assume that you are what you want to be, you do not need the as -
sistance of another to make it so. Neither do you need the assistance of
anyone to bury the old man for you. Let the dead bury the dead. Do not
even look back, for no man having put his hand to the plow and then
looking back is fit for the kingdom of heaven. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenDo not ask yourself how this thing is going to be. It does not matter if
your reason denies it. It does not matter if all the world round about you
denies it. You do not have to bury the old. “Let the dead bury the dead.”
You will so bury the past by remaining faithful to your new concept of self
that you will defy the whole vast future to find where you buried it. To this
day no man in all of Israel has discovered the sepulchre of Moses. *****
These are the four stories I promised you tonight. You must apply them
every day of your life. Even though the chair on which you are now seated
seems hard and does not lend itself to meditation you can in imagination
make it the most comfortable chair in the world. Let me now define the technique as I want you to employ it. I trust each
one of you came here tonight with a clear picture of your desire. Do not
say it is impossible. Do you want it? You do not have to use your moral
code to realize it. It is altogether outside the reach of your code. Consciousness is the one and only reality. Therefore, we must form the
object of our desire out of our own consciousness. People have a habit of slighting the importance of simple things, and the
suggestion to create a state akin to sleep in order to aid you in assuming
that which reason and your senses deny is one of the simple things you
might slight. However, this simple formula for changing the future, which was discov -
ered by the ancient teachers and given to us in the Bible, can be proved
by all. The first step in changing the future is Desire, that is, define your objec -
tive – know definitely what you want. Second: construct an event which you believe would encounter FOLLOW -
ING the fulfillment of your desire – an event which implies fulfillment of
your desire – something which will have the action of self predominant. The third step is to immobilize the physical body and induce a state akin
to sleep. Then mentally feel yourself right into the proposed action, imag -
ine all the while that you are actually performing the action HERE AND
NOW. You must participate in the imaginary action, not merely stand back
and look on, but FEEL that you are actually performing the action, so that
the imaginary sensation is real to you. It is important always to remember that the proposed action must be one
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenwhich FOLLOWS the fulfillment of your desire, one which implies fulfill -
ment. For example, suppose you desired a promotion in office. Then being
congratulated would be an event you would encounter following the fulfill -
ment of your desire. Having selected this action as the one you will experience in imagination
to imply promotion in the office, immobilize your physical body and induce
a state bordering on sleep, a drowsy state, but one in which you are still
able to control the direction of your thoughts, a state in which you are at -
tentive without effort. Then visualize a friend standing before you. Put
your imaginary hand into his. Feel it to be solid and real, and carry on an
imaginary conversation with him in harmony with the FEELING OF HAV -
ING BEEN PROMOTED. You do not visualize yourself at a distance in point of space and at a dis -
tance in point of time being congratulated on your good fortune. Instead,
you MAKE elsewhere HERE and the future

        The so-called
"caponettes" and "hormonized fryers" should always be avoided
when purchasing poultry. In addition to the hormonization of meat, there are other
dangerous practices employed by the meat industry. Some forms
of meat are treated with injurious chemicals, both for purposes
of preservation and color. Inspection methods are not adequate
for full consumer protection. Most meat is "well hung" and thus DANGERS IN MODERN FOODS
aged until putrefaction has already set in and certain nutritive
qualities are lost. Certain meats are smoked, pickled, soaked in
smoke solutions, and injected with brine, fat, and gelatin. Some
of these processes are done to disguise stringly meat from mal-
nourished animals and all tend to render the meat less suitable
for consumption. Many tinned meats contain the poisonous
drug, sodium nitrate. Due in part to present methods of feeding
hogs, some pork is infested with trichina and the quality of the
meat is rarely as good as that of other animals. Local health
department inspectors in various cities have occasionally found
sulphite powder on some meats, which is used to give a nice red
color to old meat. Some meats sold in restaurants have even been
"embalmed" with formaldehyde in order to assure preservation
over a long period of time. It is difficult, if not impossible, to purchase any meat on the
regular commercial market with complete assurance that it is
completely fresh and free from synthetic hormones and all chem-
ical additives. But, if there is not complete safety, there is
relative safety. The most dangerous meats are those which are
tinned and processed into sausage. The safest meats are fresh
beef, lamb, and sea fish. However, unless you know the direct
source of your beef cuts, you will have to take your chances on
the hormone problem. This is not a completely happy solution,
but it is the best that can be suggested under current circum-
stances. VI. Fish Liver Oil
A N ANIMAL FOOD WHICH HAS RECEIVED
widespread use among children is cod liver oil. Adults frequently
I take other forms of fish liver oil (usually from the shark liver)
as a supplementary source of vitamins A and D in the diet. Though fish liver oils are a rich source of the vitamins, and
though certain animals, in particular dogs and cats, appear to
take the oils without harmful reactions, there are serious doubts
regarding the value of such foods in the diet of other animals and
human beings. Dr. Weston Price has found that large doses of
fish liver oil give some patients "definite symptoms of depression:'
and has further observed paralysis and structural damage to
hearts and kidneys of animals when overdoses were given. Agduhr,
using the oils on rabbits, and Malnlberg using chickens, both
found damage to the heart as one of the effects. P. Hendricksen
concluded from his experiments that the oils produced degenera-
tion throughout the body. Herlitz, Jundell, and Wahlgre con-
ducted experiments which showed degeneration of the heart
muscle when normal doses of cod liver oil were given.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: What are some of the most dangerous practices in the meat industry?,
A: The text does not specify the exact practices, but it mentions that some meats are treated with chemicals, such as sodium nitrate, and that some are smoked, pickled, or injected with brine, fat, and gelatin.
Q: What is wrong with using fish liver oil as a source of vitamins?,
A: The text states that fish liver oil is not a reliable source of vitamins, as it can cause depression, paralysis, and damage to organs in some cases.
Q: What is the issue with the production of cheese?,
A: The text highlights that some cheese is made with artificial additives, such as yellow dye, benzoyl peroxide, and alginic acid, which can be harmful to human health.
Q: What is the issue with the use of fluoride in drinking water?,
A: The text states that sodium fluoride is added to water to prevent tooth decay, but this can have negative effects on human health, such as fluorosis, and is not a suitable substitute for natural sources of fluoride.
Q: What is the recommended way to make ice cream at home?,
A: The text suggests making ice cream at home using raw cream, milk, eggs, and fresh fruit, as this will provide a healthier and more natural alternative to commercial ice cream.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>HAY	HOUSE,	INC.

 and diseased
tissues. In my two volume work on "Dental Infections," Volume I, entitled "Dental Infections, Oral
and Systemic," and Volume II, entitled "Dental Infections and the Degenerative Diseases," (23) I
reviewed at length the researches that I had conducted to throw light on this problem. The
evidence seemed to indicate clearly that the forces that were at work were not to be found in the
diseased tissues, but that the undesirable conditions were the result of the absence of something,
rather than of the presence of something. This strongly indicated the need for finding groups of
individuals so physically perfect that they could be used as controls. In order to discover them, I
determined to search out primitive racial stocks that were free from the degenerative processes
with which we are concerned in order to note what they have that we do not have. These field
investigations have taken me to many parts of the world through a series of years. The following
chapters review the studies made of primitive groups, first, when still protected by their isolation,
and, second, when in contact with modern civilization. REFERENCES

Q: What is the author's main concern in this study?,
A: The author is concerned with the physical development of the people, particularly in relation to their immunity to dental caries.
Q: What is the purpose of the author's research?,
A: The author is seeking to identify the factors that contribute to the development of strong, healthy physiques and resistance to tooth decay.
Q: What is the author's observation about the Swiss community in the Loetschental Valley?,
A: The author notes that the people in the Loetschental Valley have a high immunity to dental caries, and their children have not had any dental caries.
Q: What is the author's opinion on the reason for the high immunity to dental caries in the isolated Swiss communities?,
A: The author suggests that the diet of the isolated communities, consisting of natural foods, is the primary factor in their resistance to tooth decay.
Q: What is the author's observation about the Gaelic-speaking people on the Isle of Lewis?,
A: The author notes that the people on the Isle of Lewis have a high level of physical perfection, with excellent teeth and well-formed faces, and are characterized by refinement, intelligence, and strength of character.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>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

modern food and has rampant tooth decay. Brother at right uses
native food and has excellent teeth. Note narrowed face and arch of
younger brother. Below: typical rampant tooth decay, modernized
Gaelic. Right: typical excellent teeth of primitive Gaelic. One of the sad stories of the Isle of Lewis has to do with the recent rapid progress of the white
plague. The younger generation of the modernized part of the Isle of Lewis is not showing the
same resistance to tuberculosis as their ancestors. Indeed a special hospital has been built at
Stornoway for the rapidly increasing number of tubercular patients, particularly for girls between
twenty and thirty years of age. The superintendent told me with deep concern of the rapidity with
which this menace is growing. Apparently very little consideration was being given to the change in
nutrition as a possible explanation for the failure of this generation to show the defense of previous
generations against pulmonary tuberculosis. In this connection much blame had been placed upon
the housing conditions, it


pigs, one group of which were fed a controlled diet. Another
group were fed a form of laboratory diet. In both sets of studies
an area of skin was bared and measurem ents taken between the
cephalic end of the bare area, and another at the caudal end of
the area. Wherever incision was to be made between the two, a
control point was taken. After the preliminary measurements were mad,:, the skin and
subcutaneous fascia were incised and suturerJ, following which
another set of examinations were made. These were continued
daily for the next two weeks or until the wound was healed. In
some in��ances, the healing was so complete as to make it difficult
to determine the site of the wound. 82 THE FIEL D AS A SIGNPOST
The data showed a marked change of potential gradient be
tween the normal skin and the area of injury. Perhaps the most
astonishing finding was that the site of injury was not consist
ently negative to the normal tissue, as would be expected by the
theory of injury potentiaL On the contrary, for the first twenty
four or twenty-eight hours after the injury, the wound area was
positive to the cephalic point in the normal skin. The potential
gradient between these two points tended to rise for twenty-four
or twenty-ei ght hours and then rapidly to decline until the third
or fourth day when the wound became negative to the normal
skin. This negativity increased until the maximum was reached
on the eighth or ninth day. Following this, and lasting for
twenty-four to forty-eigh t hours, the potential gradient dropped,
to be followed on the tenth or twelfth day by another rise in
potential. This was repeated on the twelfth and fourteenth day. On the fifteenth or sixteenth day the gradients returned to
approxima tely normal limits. The comparison of the curves obtained by Harvey and Taffel
shows an interesting parallelism. The tensile strength measure
ments show a rapidly rising curve during the first eight days. The
bioelectric measurements show a similar change. After the eighth
day, the tensile strength seems to approach a plateau. The bio
electric determinations show alternating growth and differentia
tion after the eighth day. While examinations show rather slow
changes in the potential gradients, nevertheless, they are statistic
ally reliable. In order to investigate this matter further, a second series of
animals was studied under somewh at different conditions. Thirty
guinea pigs from the laboratory stock were taken, ten of which
were placed on a controlled laboratory diet. It is to be noted that
this diet was differen t from that of the first series. These animals
received an incision on the right flank as described, and were
read daily. The rise and fall of potential differences during this period
would seem to be correlated with the growth of fibroblasts. Then
followed a period of differentiation represent ed by a clear-cut
increase in potential differences. However, once started, the alternation of growth and differ-
83 THE FIEL D AS A SIGNPOST
entiation was strikingly parallel in both groups of animals. TV.Tcnty of the animals were put on a vitamin C deficien t diet
ten with no wounds in the skin and ten with wounds. The poten
tial gradients in the operated and unoperat ed scorbutic animals,
ana in the norrnals on a controlled diet, showed interesting
parallelisms. In the case of unopera ted scorbutics a reasonably constant
baseline appeared through the period of the experiment. The
operated scorbutics, however, showed changes in the potential
differences which closely paralleled the normal animals, save that
the magnitude of the potential difference was less. In addition,
they showed the same delay in the onset of potential rise as was
seen in the operated animals on the normal diet. These observa
tions indicated that it is possible to measure with some certainty
bioelectric concomitant s of growth and differentiation in the heal
ing of wounds in the guinea pig. They suggested that the growth
process is not a continuous one, except in the early stages, but
rather that, after the eighth day, it alternates with periods of
differentiation. Bioelectric correlates of growth in the animals on
a control diet seem to rise faster and reach a greater magnitude
than in the case of the scorbutic animals. 3
In cooperation with the above-mentioned surgeons, a further
experiment was made on wound healing in the human. Some
twenty-five instances of operative procedures, with uncompli
cated healing of the wounds, were selected for study. All these
healed without any evidence of infection. Determinat ions of the
potential gradient between two points-one in the immediate
vicinity of the wound, and another at some distance from it
were made daily, beginning on the day following the operation
and continuing until the patient was discharged from the hos
pital, usually after fourteen days. In each observa tion, sufficient
readings were taken to insure valid measurements. It was at once apparent that there was, on the whole, a
definite trend. Comparison of individual cases revealed in many
84 THE FIELD AS A SIGNP OST
instances wide discrepancies. Such variations have been found
to be consistently present in animals studied by the tensile
strength method. Similar variations were particularly character
istic of electro-metric technique and therefore many detennina
tiOIlS are necessary. The results show that there is a phase of positive potential of
some four days' duration corresponding to the so-called lag in
the tensile strength method. This same phenomenon was ob
served in the guinea pigs and also in mice as an accompaniment
of a carcinogenic irritation. Following this, the wound passes into
a proliferated phase during which a negative potential is en
countered which reaches its height between the seventh and
ninth days. Here the maximum negative voltage is reached at
approxima tely the same time as the maximum tensile strength. The increasing negativity suggests an homology with the rising
negativity observed in other animals and in cancer. At the end of the tenth day the wound is usually healed and
from then to the end of the determinations the voltage gradient s
gradually fall to the normal base-line. These observations of
electro-metric studies of the healing wound in man parallel those
made in experimental animals and give weight to the concept that
the process of healing in man is a phenomenon of growth. 4
Since these wound healing experiments on man seem to indi
("ate a modification of the normal picture after surgery, it be
hooved us to find out what went on from day to day in normal
human beings with a reasonably normal existence. To this end, a
group of ten medical students were found to agree to do the
necessary examination to see what happened in the ordinary
day-to-day existence of such apparently normal subjects. These were studied for a considerable period of time and it was
found, in general, that the students could be separated into three
groups as was mentioned in Chapter 3 : one, a group that showed
consistently high potential differences between the index fingers
of the two hands, another with a low potential difference, and a
85 THE FIELD AS A SIGNP OST
third, an intermediate point. There was, however, one particular student in the group who
consistently showed a higher potential difference than all the
rest of the subjects. On investigation, it was found that this boy
had a history of emotional instability and. at the time he was
admitted, was admitted as an experiment. Before the end of the
year, however, the boy became definitely psychotic and had to
be remanded to an institution. These findings suggested at once that deviations from a normal
behaviour, such as might appear in a psychotic, were worth in
vestigating further. With the cooperation of the late Dr. Eugen
Kahn in the Department of Psychiatry, a number of patients
who had been studied carefully by the psychiatric staff-were
selected and measuremen ts made on them daily for a considerable
period of time. The psychiatrists were asked to divide the patients into three
groups-obvious deviates from normal behaviour, those that were
reasonably normal, and an intermediate group. The electro-metric
experiments were carried out in the services of the psychiatric
hospital without the electro-metric investigator knowing any
thing about the status of the individual. At the conclusion of the electro-m etrics the patients were
divided into three groups; those with markedly changed electro
metrics, those with relatively little change, and an intermediate
group. Subsequently, the intermediate group was subdivided into
a high-low group and a low-high group. At the conclusion of the experiment, the groups selected by
the psychiatrists were compared with the groups selected by the
electro-metric investigator, who-it should be emphasized
knew nothing about the psychiatric diagnosis. Results of the
study showed clearly enough that the group consisting of those
markedly deviated from normal behaviour by psych ;atric ex
amination also showed a similar deviation in electro-metric ex
amination. The low group, likewise, paralleled each other perfectly. But
in the intermediate group, as might be expected. there was con
siderable vuiation in both the psychiatric reports and in the
electro-metric readings. This, of course, is very interesting and it

 human nature that some bodies are
innately stronger and more resistant than others are. As adult individuals, we have
only one variable, which is in our total control: Our diets. The difference in lifestyle that you have led and your ancestry three generations
removed is remarkable. We live in a world where air pollution is a daily occurrence;
we work in jobs that are demanding in time, tolerance and ability to change and
adapt. We struggle to balance our career, family, spiritual, emotional and social lives,
and, yet as a society we have largely failed to intelligently consider the fuel, which
runs this remarkable human body. Fuels that provide peak performance and keep our
internal operating systems running properly. When we are young, we feel invincible, immortal. Some of us develop habits
V i

and patterns in early adult life that prove detrimental later on. We eat too much dead
food, drink too much alcohol, smoke cigarettes and take prescription drugs for any
little perceived ill — all the while wrongly trusting that the regulatory bodies of
society will look out for our health. Well, let me tell you, in the words of a great songwriter: "I read the news today
— oh boy." Against the advice of leading doctors and scientists across the country, FDA
commissioner Dr. Kessler approved the fat substitute 'Olestra' for public
consumption. Doctors across the country from John Hopkins to Harvard Medical
warned against the possible fall-out from introducing this synthetic fat into the
American diet for reasons which have been well published in the media, (see
Appendix II). Interestingly most of the warning comes from the academic side of the
medical science community. Why do you suppose that is? I'll tell you... I  have believed for a long time that the American Medical Complex and the
Consumer Food and Beverage Industrial Complex have little interest in the prevention
of disease. It makes far better business sense to let the population eat, drink and
smoke to their heart's content and then offer seemingly high tech and expensive
methods for cleaning up the aftermath. In the United States, the food industry alone
generates 500 billion dollars in sales: Bacon, eggs, milk, fast food franchises, soft
drinks, fried food, dead food, overcooked food, sweets, treats and canned goods. We
have gotten away from simple diets and become human garbage disposals. Sixty
percent of the American public is overweight. Clearly the large food conglomerates
are successfully marketing to an oblivious public. After feeding your body with dead and processed foods for 20, 30, 40 or more
years, things begin to run less perfectly. We have overlooked the processing energy
required to digest bacon and eggs each morning, that steak in the evening and the
cocktails in between. The result is the current health crisis where one in three will
have cancer in their lifetimes — not to mention heart disease. But instead of educating the public on how our bodies function best, the medical
establishment chooses instead to clean out those arteries with drugs and catheters,
perform by-pass surgery or cut the problem out (or off) altogether. To be fair, the
American medical community has done some wonderful things and made
outstanding progress in the last 45 years. But it is simply not in their best interest to
prevent disease. They are in the business of treating disease. This is where the money
is: Surgery, MRI, radiation, chemotherapy, research and examinations. The doctors
don't want a disease-fee society any more than lawyers want a perfectly honest one. This booklet is intended to provide an alternative view to conventional medicine
Vii
Winning The Cancer War
in regard to 20th Century disease — to profess prevention in healthy people and
educate those who are ill. The human body is the most incredible of discoveries. Perhaps it receives so little consideration because we all get one upon entering into
this life. We take it for granted until it cries out to us. Read this book and incorporate
everything in it you can into your lifestyle. Listen to your heart and the voice within
you and seek the advice of a trusted physician. On that note, a word of caution:
There are doctors who hold Dr. Kelley in high esteem and those who see him as a
threat. Be prepared to encounter one or the other. The open-minded ones tend to be
the former. Finally Dr. Kelley was aggressively persecuted and oppressed during his years of
treating cancer patients. His success was unparalleled in conventional medicine. Personally, both my brother and my chiropractor went to him; both were resolved of
their disease. Dr. Kelley has been forbidden to advise cancer victims and this book
must carry with it a warning to all, that it is not intended to be a cure, but rather a
program to be used in conjunction with the guidance of your own physician for the
resolution of degenerative disease. As the writer of this preface, I  can say that the
truth of Dr. Kelley's paradigm is both preventive and healing. I  wish you God's speed
and hope that the truth w ill set you free. Greg Stirling,

Foreword
Health is a wonderful possession. It does not last forever, although most of
us assume it will. It is not until we lose our health that we seek diligently to
regain it. Often it is too late, and always too expensive. It is the purpose of Dr. Kelley is to help those who desire and are willing to work
for their better health. It is ever the objective of Dr. Kelley to point out the metabolic
deficiencies in the metabolism of each person who has the malfunction, not to treat
the disease that has the person. It is our desire to advise, teach, and counsel a person in such a way that he and
he alone is responsible for his or her health. A doctor cannot "cure" you of anything. If you have a broken arm, the physician may set it — but only you — your own body
— may "cure" or heal the break. Of course, during your lifetime you w ill need the
help of many in the healing professions: The dentist, the osteopath, the chiropractor,
the naturopath, the biochemist, the nutritionist, and last but not least, the spiritual
counselor. Although these experts may give you aid, you must assume the
responsibility of accepting and following their advice. In researching some of the more complex disease processes, it became more and
more evident to us that cancer is a simple deficiency condition. We have proven this
to our own satisfaction, and to the satisfaction of many counselees. This publication is a simplified, condensed, practical application of our
investigations and findings. We present these findings because there have been so
many prayers unto God for a solution to this simple problem. To successfully resolve cancer, however simple, is a tedious and lengthy
metabolic process. It is not expensive as compared to the "accepted" surgical,
radiological, or chemotherapy methods, and has proven very effective. It is our desire that this booklet be a helpful aid to many who are themselves or
have lost loved ones afflicted with malignancy. ix
In tro d u c tio n
A comprehensive defense program must recognize the existence of more than one
potential enemy. Metabolic Medicine can handle other enemies besides cancer. It is,
in fact, a lifestyle for peace or war — one that can keep you in an ideal state of
readiness. Over the last 42 years or so, the medical profession and the medical community
have progressed to unprecedented heights and achievements in areas of
reconstruction and surgical procedure. They have worked hard and deserve every bit
of the respect and honor they receive. They have done remarkably well in applying
technological advances to their profession. The medical community has centered its energies and advancement on the
infectious and traumatic cases. It has all but conquered infections of all types. Surgical procedures and treatment of traumatic ills have advanced equally with
control of the infectious diseases. In short, what the medical community does, it does
well, unsurpassed in the history of mankind. But the problems for which the medical community is so well trained and
equipped to handle account for only a percentage of the illnesses in our society. In
the balance of the cases involving degeneration or metabolic conditions, little hope is
received. Down through the years, cancer patients have had such excellent results with
Metabolic Medicine that they have brought other family members and friends for
nutritional counseling. The range of diseases for which Dr. Kelley has planned
nutritional programs covers the complete gamut of degenerative and metabolic ills,
even some infectious diseases and structural conditions. Dr. Kelley distinguishes between degenerative disease and metabolic disease in
this example: Adult-onset diabetes is degenerative; childhood-onset diabetes is
metabolic. Metabolic diseases can result from improper nutrition to the fetus due to
the faulty diet of the mother during pregnancy. (It is widely recognized among
medical authorities that birth defects have risen dramatically in recent years.) Metabolic disease can result from injury or other trauma. Metabolic diseases are
those, which do not result from long-term physical degeneration. Dr. Kelley's experience with over 33,000 benefactors led or leads him to believe
10

that balancing body chemistry through nutrition is a realistic approach, which should
be investigated on a larger scale. How long this w ill take, or whether it will be done
at all, is a matter of speculation. Many readers, or their friends, are desperately

So	in	our	youth,	we	often	had	love	but	didn’t	know	what	to	do	with	it. Then
sometimes,	after	what	can	be	a	very	long	time	in	the	romantic	wilderness,	we
find	love	again	or	love	finds	us. And	this	time,	we
do
	know	what	to	do. Thatwilderness—that	fast—was	not	the	end	of	anything. It	was	our	romantic
salvation. Dear	God,
Please	reveal	to	me
the	glory	of	manhood,
the	beauty	of	the	masculine,
and	the	greatness	of	men. Amen
I
ALWAYS	HATE	IT	WHEN
	I’
M	ASKED	TO	FILL	OUT
	an	official	form	of	some	kind	that
includes	the	options	“single,”	“married,”	or	“divorced. ”	I	always	leave	that
section	blank,	as	my	way	of	saying,	“That’s	none	of	your	damn	business. ”
I	think	I	feel	that	way	because	it	seems	too	personal. It	feels	like	an
emotional	identity	theft,	giving	someone	permission	to	make	assumptions
about	me	based	on	such	external	categories. (Calm	down,	Marianne. This	is	a
dental
	form. ) Which	is	not	to	say,	of	course,	that	whether	we’re	married	or	single	doesn’t
matter. It’s	just	to	say	that	the	deeper	issues	of	love	are	not	about	form	but
content. The	problem	I	see	most	often	blocking	the	romantic	impulse	is	a
stifled	sense	of	self:	Many	men	aren’t	really	sure	how	to	be	men,	and	many
women	aren’t	really	sure	how	to	be	women. Our	generational	detour	into	an
ambisexual	wasteland	was	part	of	what	emotionally	stunted	many	of	us	for
years. When	a	woman	thinks	that	she	can	overdo	her	“masculine	self”	and	a
man	will	still	want	her,	or	a	man	thinks	that	he	can	overdo	his	“feminine	self”
and	a	woman	will	still	want	him,	then	all	manner	of	confusion	leads	to	all
manner	of	pain. That	delusional	trend	has	begun	to	self-correct,	but	the
generational	wound	is	not	yet	fully	healed. It’s	one	of	those	many	areas	where
our	parents	sometimes	had	it	right—for	the	wrong	reasons,	perhaps,	but	in
ways	we	didn’t	realize,	they	had	it	right. My	mother	was	a	broad. If	she	had	an	opinion,	you	knew	it. If	she	didn’t
like	something,	she’d	let	you	hear	about	it. And	my	father	never	seemed	to
think	that	he	had	the	right	to	stop	her	from	expressing	herself. He	never
seemed	to	want	to. However
…	there	was	a	limit	that	he	sometimes	set,	not	to
her	self-expression	but	to	any	discomfort	it	might	be	causing	him. My	father	never	called	my	mother	by	her	name,	ever. She	was	always	just
“Sweetheart. ”	But	every	once	in	a	while—not	frequently,	but	at	those	rare
times	when	something	she	was	going	on	about	was	stirring	tension	he	was	not
okay	with—my	father	simply	looked	at	her	and	said	simply,	“Sophie	Ann. ”
And	my	mother	stopped. That	was	it. She	grew	silent. It	took	me	many	years
and	tears	to	understand	what	a	lucky	woman	my	mother	was. For	a	woman	to	feel	free	to	be	strong	and	wild	and	creatively	rambunctious,
she	can’t	afford	to	be	with	a	partner	who	in	any	way	stifles	her,	invalidates
her,	or	punishes	her	for	being	who	she	is. That	being	said,	a	woman	is	blessed
by	the	presence	of	someone	who	can	say,	in	a	way	that	doesn’t	withhold	his
affection	or	undermine	her	confidence,	“Are	you	sure	you	want	to	go	that
far. ”
For	many	women,	our	deepest	craving	is	for	a	place	to	relax. We’re	like	the
water	in	a	swimming	pool. Of	course	we	appreciate	the	concrete;	all	we	have
to	do	is	just	be	the	water. A	woman’s	state	of	being,	not	doing,	is	what
magnetizes	love. And	nothing	is	a	more	powerful	state	of	being	than	a	deep
acceptance	of	what
is. Too	often	we	inquire	about	a	situation,	“How	can	I
change	this. ”	when	we	should	be	asking,	“How	can	I	dwell	within	this
circumstance	in	the	highest	possible	way. ”
If	you’re	single	and	would	like	a	partner,	you’ll	only	attract	one	when
you’ve	mastered	the	lessons	of	singleness. Don’t	ask	how	you	can	“get”	a
man. Ask	how	you	can	be	the	coolest	woman	in	the	world—and	when	that
happens,	you’ll	enjoy	the	experience	so	much	it	won’t	even	matter	whether
men	notice	you	or	not. Which	means,	of	course,	that	they	will. I	did	a	lot	of	research	for	you	so	that	I	could	report	back	on	that. One	of	the	most	insidiously	self-sabotaging	questions	is,	“Why	can’t	I	meet
the	right	man	[or	woman]. ”	It	implies	that	there	is	someone	out	there,	maybe
in	Mongolia	or	someplace,	and	if	only	you	knew	where	he	or	she	was,	then
you	could	pop	over	on	the	next	flight. But	since	metaphysically	nothing	is	outside	of	us—everything	we
experience	is	a	reflection	of	what’s	going	on	in	our	head—there’s	no	point	in
flying	to	Mongolia	if	we’re	not	already	the	perfect	fit	for	our	ideal	partner. And	once	we
are
	ready,	we	needn’t	go	anywhere	because	he	or	she	will
simply	appear. Whenever	people	have	stood	up	in	my	lectures—and	it	has	been	often—to
say	their	heartbreak	is	that	they	haven’t	yet	found	a	mate,	I	usually	find
myself	saying,	“Tell	me	the	truth;	I	know	you	know	it. What	do	you	do	thatkeeps	love	at	bay. ”
Often	the	room	gasps,	as	though	I’ve	said	something	confrontational. And
perhaps	I	have:	I’ve	asked	a	person	to	confront	him-	or	herself. I’ve	suggested
that	they	take	full	responsibility	for	their	own	experience. And	more	often
than	not,	after	a	pause,	I’m	met	with	an	honest	and	illuminating	answer:
“I	act	needy. ”
“I	attract	men,	but	then	I	start	acting	like	a	man	myself,	so	they	leave. I’m
not	very	feminine. ”
“I	get	jealous. ”
“I	get	angry. ”
“I’m	controlling. ”
“I’m	so	desperate	to	have	kids	and	men	can	feel	it. ”
To	which	I	usually	respond	with	something	like,	“Ah. Well,	then	isn’t	it
wonderful	that	your	great	love	isn’t	here	yet. You	can	handle	this	now,	so	you
don’t	ruin	another	good	opportunity. ”
In	other	words,	it
