 often called heartburn. In som e, the laxity of the "valve" in the diaphragm may be such that a portion of the stomach may pass th rough it
into the chest and achieve the title of hiatus hernia. When the valves reverse their mode of operation for the normal
flow of the stomach content, in effect they are preparing for another eventual and unavoidable outcome: the
evacuation of the stomach content through the mouth. If the stomach content cannot go into the intestine and it
cannot indefinitely remain in the stomach, there is only one other way out—through the mouth. For this action to
take place, the intestinal tract is ca pable of reversing the direction of its contractions. The reversal of the
contractions is called "anti-peristalsis. " One of the most misunderstood and upsetting conditions that is a complication of sev ere dehydration is bulimia. People who  suffer from bulimia—the most notable of them is Pri ncess Diana, who has been devastated with this
problem and who se marriage to Prince Charles was destroyed because of this antisocial problem—suff er from
constant "hunger. " When they eat, they cannot retain the food and have an instant uncontrollable urge to vomit—
thus, their antisocial life-style. In these people, their sensation of "hunger" is, in fact, an indicator of thirst, and their
urge to vomit is the protection mechanism that is explained above. If bulimics begin to rehydrate their body well and
drink water before their food, this problem will disappear. In my opinion, because of the repeated corrosive effect of the regurgitating acid on the unprotected esophageal
tissue, there is a strong relationship between heartburn of early life and eventual cancer of the lower end of the
esophagus. Dyspeptic pain, no matter what other pathological label is attached to it, should be treated by regular intake of water. The current treatment practice and the use of antacids and histamine-blocking agents is not to the benefit of a
chronically dehydrated person whose body has resorted to crying for water. A. B. is herself engaged in the promotion of alternative medicine. She is very strongly into chelation therapy. Sh e has
compiled other people's information and written a popular book on chelation. However, she had herself suffered for
many years from excruciating pains from her hiatus hernia. Her husband, himself a most delightful author, tells me

"water volume" by th e blood vessels, gases would separate from the blood and fill the space/causing "gas locks." This property of lumen regulation for fluid circulation is a most advanced design within the principle of hydraulics
and after which the blood circulation of the body is modeled. Shunting of blood circu lations a normal routine. When we eat, most of the circulation is directed into the intestinal
tract by closing some capillary circulation elsewhere. When we eat, more capillaries are opened in the
gastrointestinal tract and fewer are open in the major muscle systems. Only areas where activity places a  more
urgent demand on the circulatory systems will be kept fully open for the passag e of blood. In other wor ds, it is the
blood-holding capacity of the capillary bed that determines the direction and rate of flow to any site at a given time. This process is naturally designed to cope with any priority work without the burden of maintaining an excess fluid
volume in the body. When the act of digestion has taken place and less blood is needed in the gastrointestinal
region, circulation to other areas will open more easily. In a most indirect way, t his is why w e feel less active
immediately after a meal and ready for action after som e time has passed. In short, there is a mechanism for
establishment of priority for circulating blood to any given area—some capillaries open and som e others close. The
order is predetermined accor ding to a scale of importance of function. The brain, lungs, liver, kidneys, and glands
take priority over muscles, bones, and skin in blood distribution—unless a different priority is p rogrammed into the
system. This will  happen if a continued demand on any part of the body will influence the extent of blood circu lation
to the area, such  as muscle development through regular exercise. WATER SHORTA GE: POTENT IALS FOR HYPERT ENSI ON
When we do not drink enough water to serve all the needs of the body, som e cells become dehydrated and lose
some of their wat er to the circulation. Capillary beds in some areas will  have to close so that some of the slack in
capacity is adjuste d for. In water shortage and body drought, 66 percent is taken from the water volume normally
held inside the cells; 26 percent is taken from the volume held outside the cells; and 8 percent is taken from blood
volume (see Figure 13). There is no alternative for the blood vessels other than closing their lumen to cope with the
loss in blood volume. The process begins by closing some capillaries in less-a ctive areas. Ot herwise, where will the
balance come from to keep these capillaries open? The deficient quantity must come either from outside or be
taken from another part of the body!It is the extent of cap illary bed activity throughout the body th at will ultimately determine the volume of circulating
blood. The more the muscles are exercised, the more their capillaries will open and hold a greater volume of blood
within the circulation reserves. This is t he reason why  exercise is a  most impo rtant compone nt for physiol ogical
adjustments in those suffering from hypertension. This is one aspect to the physiology of hypertension. The capillary
bed must remain open and full and offer no resistance to blood circu lation. When the capillary bed is clo sed and
offers resistance, only an increased force behind the circulating blood will ensure the passag e of some fluids
through the system. Another reason why th e capillary bed may become selectively dosed is shortage of water in the body. Ba sically,
water we drink will ultimat ely have to get into the cells—water regulates the volume of a cell from inside. Salt
regulates the amount of water that is held outside the cells—the ocean around the cell There is a very d elicate
balancing process in  the design of the body in the way it  maintains its co mposition of blood at the expense of
fluctuating the water content in some cells of the body. When there is a shortage of water, som e cells will go without
a portion of their normal needs and some others will get a predetermined rationed amount to maintain function (as it
was e xplained, the mechanism involves wat er filtration through the cell membrane). However, blood will normally
retain the consistency of its com position. It must do so to keep the normal composition of elements reaching the
vital centers. This is where the "solutes paradigm" is inadequate and goes wrong. It bases all assessments and evaluations of
body functions on the solids content of blood. It does not recognize the comparative dehydration of some other parts
of the body. All blood tests can  appear normal and yet the small capillaries of the heart and the brain may be closed
and cause some of the cells of these organs a gradual damage from increasing dehydration over a long period of
time. When you read the section on cholesterol formation, this sta tement will become more clear. When we lose thirst se nsation (or do not recognize the other signals of dehydration) and drink less water than the
daily requirement, the shutting down of some vascular beds is the only natural alternative to keep the rest of the
blood vessels full. The question is, how long can we go on like this? The answer is, long enough to ultimately
become very ill and die. Unless we get wise to the paradigm shift and professionally and generally begin to
recognize the problems a ssociated with water metabolism disturbance in the human body and its variety of thirst
signals, chronic dehydration will continue to take its toll on both our bodies and our society. Essen tial hype rtension should primarily be treated with an increase in daily water intake. The present way o f treating
hypertension is wrong to the point of scientific absur dity. The body is trying to retain its water volume, and we say to
the design of nature in us: "No, you do not understand—you must take diuretics and get rid of water!!" It so
happens, if we do not drink sufficient water, the only other way the body has

Q: What does the book "Anxiety Free: Stop Worrying and Quieten Your Mind" claim to help the reader achieve?,
A: The book claims to help the reader achieve a clearer functioning of their mind, resulting in increased happiness, energy, and a better quality of life.
Q: What is the author's opinion on the role of thinking in our lives?,
A: The author believes that excessive thinking is unnecessary and can lead to anxiety, depression, and unhappiness.
Q: What are some factors that increase breathing volume?,
A: The text mentions that factors such as stress, anxiety, anger, and overeating can increase breathing volume.
Q: What is the purpose of the Control Pause (CP) exercise?,
A: The CP is used to measure the length of time that you can hold your breath, and it is used to provide feedback on the improvement of your breathing.
Q: What is the recommended approach to correct breathing?,
A: The book suggests that it is essential to reduce breathing volume and maintain a relaxed and calm breathing pattern, and it provides exercises and techniques to help the reader achieve this.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>Reduced	breathing	serves	two	purposes:	the	first	is	to	improve	oxygenation	of

,	move	your	muscles!I
n	my	experience,	persons	partaking	in	regular	physical	exercise	have	better
control	of	their	condition	than	those	who	don’t. This	section	is	about
exercising	safely	and	getting	the	maximum	benefits	from	it. The	importance	of	exercise
T
here	are	only	two	ways	to	increase	CO

	in	the	human	organism. The	first	is
to	reduce	breathing	volume	and	the	second	is	to	produce	more	CO

	by
engaging	in	physical	exercise. CO
2
	is	generated	through	inner	respiration
from	the	process	of	converting	food	and	oxygen	into	energy. An	exercising
muscle	generates	more	CO

,	thus	encouraging	the	release	of	oxygen	from
hemoglobin	to	that	muscle. Remember	that	the	presence	of	CO

	low	CP	corresponds	to	greater	breathing	volume. As	a	result,	never
breathe	through	your	mouth	if	your	CP	is	lower	than	20	seconds,	as	your
breathing	will	be	greater	than	what	your	body	requires. You	can	open	your
mouth	during	sports	for	short	periods	when	your	CP	is	higher	than	20
seconds. All	of	your	breathing	should	be	through	your	nose. Initially,	this	might	feel
impossible	because	of	an	ingrained	habit	to	breathe	through	your	mouth. But	don’t	worry,	as	breathing	through	your	nose	is	easy	to	master. In	the
beginning,	you	might	find	that	you	are	unable	to	walk	as	quickly	as	you	can
with	your	mouth	open,	as	a	sense	of	breathlessness	will	be	more	intense. In	a
few	days,	this	will	pass	and	your	walking	will	steadily	improve. It	is	a	case	of
quality	over	quantity. Your	breathing	volume	will	increase	during	exercise. This	is	not	a	problem
when	there	is	a	reasonable	match	with	your	metabolic	requirements. However,	the	lower	your	CP,	the	poorer	the	match;	hence,	the	need	to	control

words,	get	to	a	point	where	you	are	breathless. Ideally,	spend	enough	time
doing	physical	exercise	to	produce	a	sweat. Walking	at	a	good	pace	with	your

The	findings	shown	in

	are	standardized	for	a	body	weight	of
sixty-five	kilograms	(143	pounds). This	is	the	standard	way	that	Chinese
authorities	record	such	information	and	it	allows	us	to	easily	compare
different	populations. (For	an	American	adult	male	of	seventy-seven
kilograms,	calorie	intake	will	be	about	2,400	calories	per	day. For	an	average
rural	Chinese	adult	male	of	seventy-seven	kilograms,	calorie	intake	will	be
about	3,000	calories	per	day.) In	every	category	seen	above,	there	are	massive	dietary	differences
between	the	Chinese	and	American	experiences:	much	higher	overall	calorie
intake,	less	fat,	less	protein,	much	less	animal	foods,	more	fiber	and	much
more	iron	are	consumed	in	China. These	dietary	differences	are	supremely
important. While	the	eating	pattern	in	China	is	far	different	from	that	of	the	United
States,	there	is	still	a	lot	of	variation	within	China. Experimental	variation
(i.e.,	a	range	of	values)	is	essential	when	we	investigate	diet	and	health
associations. Fortunately,	in	the	China	Study	considerable	variation	existed
for	most	of	the	measured	factors. There	was	exceptional	variation	in	disease
rates	(
Chart	4.2
)	and	more	than	adequate	variation	for	clinical	measurementsand	food	intakes. For	example,	blood	cholesterol	ranged—as	county	averages
—from	highest	to	lowest	almost	twofold,	blood	beta-carotene	about	ninefold,
blood	lipids	about	threefold,	fat	intake	about	sixfold	and	fiber	intake	about
fivefold. This	was
crucial,	as	we	primarily	were	concerned	with	comparing
each	county	in	China	with	every	other	county. Ours	was	the	first	large	study	that	investigated	this	particular	range	of
dietary	experience	and	its	health	consequences. In	effect,	we	are	comparing,
within	the	Chinese	range,	diets	rich	in	plant-based	foods	to	diets	very	rich	in
plant-based	foods. In	almost	all	other	studies,	all	of	which	are	Western,
scientists	are	comparing	diets	rich	in	animal-based	foods	to	diets	very	rich	in
animal-based	foods. The	difference	between	rural	Chinese	diets	and	Western
diets,	and	the	ensuing	disease	patterns,	is	enormous. It	was	this	distinction,	as
much	as	any	other,	that	made	this	study	so	important. The	media	called	the	China	Study	a	“landmark	study.”	An	article	in	the
Saturday	Evening	Post
	said	the	project	“should	shake	up	medical	and
nutrition	researchers	everywhere.”

	Some	in	the	medical	establishment	said
another	study	like	this	could	never	be	done. What	I	knew	was	that	our	study
offered	an	opportunity	to	investigate	many	of	the	most	contentious	ideas	that	I
was	forming	about	food	and	health. Now,	I	want	to	show	you	what	we	learned	from	this	study	and	how	twenty
more	years	of	research,	thought	and	experience	have	changed	not	only	the
way	I	think	about	the	connection	between	nutrition	and	health,	but	the	way
my	family	and	I	eat	as	well.DISEASES	OF	POVERTY	AND	AFFLUENCE
It	doesn’t	take	a	scientist	to	figure	out	that	the	possibility	of	death	has	been
holding	pretty	steady	at	100%	for	quite	some	time. There’s	only	one	thing	that
we	have	to	do	in	life,	and	that	is	to	die. I	have	often	met	people	who	use	this
fact	to	justify	their	ambivalence	toward	health	information. But	I	take	a
different	view. I	have	never	pursued	health	hoping	for	immortality. Good
health	is	about	being	able	to	fully	enjoy	the	time	we	do	have. It	is	about	being

dozen	different	kinds	of	disease,	we	had	a	rare	opportunity	to	study	the	many
ways	that	people	die. We	wondered:	do	certain	diseases	tend	to	group	together
in	certain	areas	of	the	country? For	example,	did	colon	cancer	occur	in	the
same	regions	as	diabetes? If	this	proved	to	be	the	case,	we	could	assume	that
diabetes	and	colon	cancer	(or	other	diseases	that	grouped	together)	shared
common	causes. These	causes
could	include	a	variety	of	possibilities,	ranging
from	the	geographic	and	environmental	to	the	biological. However,	because
all	diseases	are	biological	processes	(gone	awry),	we	can	assume	that
whatever	“causes”	are	observed,	they	will	eventually	operate	through
biological	events. When	these	diseases	were	cross-listed	in	a	way	that	allowed	every	disease
rate	to	be	compared	with	every	other	disease	rate,

diseases	in	its	own	list	but	not	in	the	opposite	list. A	region	in	rural	China	that
has	a	high	rate	of	pneumonia,	for	example,	will	not	have	a	high	rate	of	breast
cancer,	but	will	have	a	high	rate	of	a	parasitic	disease. The	disease	that	kills
most	Westerners,	coronary	heart	disease,	is	more	common	in	areas	where
breast	cancer	also	is	more	common. Coronary	heart	disease,	by	the	way,	is
relatively	uncommon	in	many	developing	societies	of	the	world. This	is	not

	Research	Organization,	who	“represent	the	interests	of	the
sugar	growers	and	refiners,	had	mounted	a	strong	lobbying	campaign	in	an
attempt	to	discredit	the	[WHO]	report	and	suppress	its	release.”	They	did	not
like	setting	the	upper	safe	limit	so	low. According	to	the
Guardian
	newspaper
of	London,
7
	the	U.S.	sugar	industry	was	threatening	“to	bring	the	World
Health	Organization	to	its	knees”	unless	it	abandoned	these	guidelines	on
added	sugar. WHO	people	were	describing	the	threat	“as	tantamount	to
blackmail	and	worse	than	any	pressure	exerted	by	the	tobacco	industry.”
7
	The
U.S.-based	group	even	publicly	threatened	to	lobby	the	U.S.	Congress	to
reduce	the	$406	million	U.S.	funding	of	the	WHO	if	it	persisted	in	keeping
the	upper	limit	so	low	at	10%! There	were	reports,	after	a	letter	was	sent	by
the	industry	to	Secretary	of	Health	and	Human	Services	Tommy	Thompson,
that	the	Bush	administration	was	inclined	to	side	with	the	sugar	industry. I,
and	many	other	scientists,	were	being	encouraged	at	that	time	to	contact	our
congressional	representatives	to	stop	this	outrageous	strong-armed	tactic	by
the	U.S.	sugar	companies. So,	for	added	sugars,	we	now	have	two	different	upper	“safe”	limits:	a
10%	limit	for	the	international	community	and	a	25%	limit	for	the	U.S.	Why
such	a	huge	difference? Did	the	sugar	industry	succeed	in	controlling	the
U.S.-based	FNB	report	but	fail	with	the	WHO/FAO	report? What	does	this
say	about	the	FNB	scientists	who	also	devised	the	new	protein
recommendation? These	wildly	different	estimates	are	not	a	matter	of
scientific	interpretation. This	is	nothing	more	than	naked	political	muscle. Professor	James	and	his	colleagues	at	the	WHO	stood	up	to	the	pressure;	theFNB	group	appears	to	have	caved	in. The	U.S.	panel	received	funding	from
the	M&M	Mars	candy	company	and	a	consortium	of	soft	drink	companies. Is
it	possible	that	the	U.S.	group	felt	an	obligation	to	these	sugar	companies? Incidentally,	the	sugar	industry,	in	their	fight	against	the	WHO	conclusion,
has	relied	heavily
7
	on	the	FNB	report	with	its	25%	limit. In	other	words,	the
FNB	committee	produces	a	friendly	recommendation	for	the	sugar	industry
which	then	turns	around	and	uses	this	finding	to	support	its	claim	against	the
WHO	report.THE	INFLUENCE	OF	INDUSTRY
This	discussion	still	leaves	unanswered	the	question	of	how	industry	develops
such	extraordinary	influence. Mostly	industry	develops	consultancies	with	a
few	publicly	visible	figures	in	academia,	who	then	take	leadership	in	policy
positions	outside	of	academia. However,	these	industry	consultants	continue
to	wear	their	academic	hats. They	organize	symposia	and	workshops,	write
commissioned	reviews,	chair	expert	policy	groups	and/or	become	officers	of
key	professional	societies. They	gravitate	toward	the	leadership	positions	in
science-based	organizations	that	develop	significant	policy	and	publicity. Once	in	these	positions,	these	people	then	have	the	opportunity	to
assemble	teams	to	their	liking,	by	choosing	committee	members,	symposia
speakers,	management	staff,	etc. The	kinds	of	people	most	helpful	to	the	team
are	either	colleagues	with	similar	prejudices	and/or	colleagues	who	are
oblivious	to	who	is	“calling	the	shots.”	It’s	called	“stacking	the	deck,”	and	it
really	works. In	the	case	of	the	FNB,	its	panel	was	organized	while	under	the
chairmanship	of	an	academic	who	had	strong	personal	ties	with	the	dairy
industry. He	helped	in	selecting	the	“right”	people	and	helped	in	setting	the
agenda	for	the	report,	the	most	significant	roles	that	anyone	could	have
played. Is	it	surprising	that	the	dairy	industry,	which	must	be	ecstatic	with	the
panel’s	findings,	also	helped	to	finance	the	report? You	might	be	surprised	to	learn	that	academic	scientists	can	receive
personal	compensation	from	industry	while	simultaneously	undertaking
government-sponsored	activities	of	considerable	public	importance. Ironically,	they	can	even	help	set	the	agenda	for	the	same	government
authorities	who	have	long	been	restricted	from	such	corporate	associations. It
is	a	huge	“conflict-of-interest”	loophole	allowing	industries	to	exercise	their
influence	through	the	side	door	of	academia. In	effect,	the	entire	system	is
essentially	under	the	control	of	industry. The	government	and	academic
communities,	playing	their	respective	roles,	mostly	do	as	they	are	expected	to
do. In	addition	to	M&M	Mars	company,	the	corporate	sponsors	of	the	FNB
report	also	included	major	food	and	drug	companies	that	would	benefit	from
higher	protein	and	sugar	allowances. 2
	The	Dannon	Institute,	a	leading	dairy-
based	consortium	promoting	its	own	brand	of	nutrition	information,	and	the
International	Life	Sciences	Institute	(ILSI),	which	is	a	front	group	for	about
fifty	food,	supplement	and	drug	companies,
both	contributed	funding	for	the
FNB	report. Corporate	members	include	Coca-Cola,	Taco	Bell,	Burger	King,
Nestle,	Pfizer	and	Roche	Vitamins. 9
	Some	drug	companies	sponsored	thereport	directly,	in	addition	to	their	support	through	the	International	Life
Sciences	Institute. I	don’t	recall	private	corporations	providing	financial
support	for	the	NAS	expert	panels	that	I	served	on. It	seems	as	if	there	is	no	end	to	this	story. The	chair	of	the	FNB	has	been
an	important	consultant	to	several	major	dairy-related	companies	(e.g.,
National	Dairy	Council,	Mead	Johnson	Nutritionals,	which	is	a	major	seller	of
dairy-based	products,	Nestle	Company	and	a	Dannon	yogurt	affiliate). 10
Simultaneously,	he	was	chair	of	the	Dietary	Guidelines	Committee	that
establishes	the	Food	Guide	Pyramid	and	sets	national	nutrition	policy
affecting	the	National	School	Lunch	and	Breakfast	programs,	the	Food	Stamp
Program	and	the	Women,	Infants	and	Children	Supplemental	Feeding
Program	(WIC). 1,	10
	As	chair	of	this	latter	committee,	his	personal	financial
associations	with	the	food	industry	were	not	publicly	revealed	as	required	by
federal	law. 11
	Eventually	a	court	order,	initiated	by	the	Physician’s	Committee
for	Responsible	Medicine,
12
	was	required	to	force	him	and	his	fellow
colleagues	to	reveal	their	relationships	with	the	food	industry. Although	the
chair’s	industry	associations	were	more	substantial,
six	of	the	eleven
committee	members	also	were	shown	to	have	ties	to	the	dairy	industry
. 10,	11
The	entire	system	of	developing	public	nutrition	information,	as	I
originally	saw	with	the	Public	Nutrition	Information	Committee	that	I	once
chaired	(see	chapter	eleven),	has	been	invaded	and	co-opted	by	industry
sources	that	have	the	interest	and	resources	to	do	so. They	run	the	show. They
buy	a	few	academic	hacks	who	have	gained	positions	of	p


 it by inverting the jar. Between watering the seeds, leave the jar partly inverted to permit continuous drainage of water and entry of air. As a rule, wheat, rye, and barley seeds are preferred when
they have just begun to sprout or when the sprouts are no longer than the seeds; mung bean sprouts are preferred about
one and one-half to three inches long; alfalfa sprouts may be
taken when one to two inches long, while soy bean and pea sprouts are good either long or short. The sprouts are eaten
with the seeds, and they may be taken alone or mixed with
salads and liquefied drinks. Th e sprouted cereal grains are
usually preferred when served with honey and milk or cream as a breakfast cereal. D
RYING AND FREEZING FOODS
   Raw foods are most appropriate for human nourishment
when used in their fresh state. Yet, there is some reason for preparing certain foods by the process of drying. While
refrigeration has been an enormous aid in preserving fresh
foods longer, it has its limitations. Thus the extra supply of
seasonal foods may be preserved by drying in the sun. There
is unquestionably some loss of vitamin C and other nutrients in the drying process, but this is far less damaging than the
chemical changes brought about by heat. Farm animals are
forced to live during winter months on dry feed, and whereas
the
y do not maintain the fine condition of green-fed animals, they are far superior to those given cooked foodstuffs. It may
be added that animal feeding experiments have shown that
sun-dried alfalfa meals are far superior to dehydrated meals,
and we may expect the same to be true of most dried foods. The excessive heat used in artificial dehydration makes the
method less desirable. We are all accustomed to the use of dried apricots, raisins,
and prunes. Yet few people realize the large number of other
foods which lend themselves well to the drying process. Apples, peaches, pears, bananas, raspberries and many other
fruits may be dried in the sun. Sun-dried sweet corn is a delicious food. Meat may be cut into thin slices and dried in
the sun. The early North American Indians were well known
for their sun-drying of foods, and we might well take a few
lessons from their experiences. The Indians cut much of their
buffalo meat into slices one-half inch thick and sun-dried these without the addition of salt or smoke. They made cakes
weighing from fifteen to twenty-five pounds from dried
berries. In civilization we can utilize an even wider variety of
sun-dried foods, and, as with the Indians, we can do so
without the use of salt, smoke, sulphur, and other harmful
preservatives. Along with sun-drying, freezing is a method of giving
variety to the diet and aiding in the storage of extra foods. Nutritive losses in frozen foods are very slight and confined
to the thawing period. However, it cannot be said that frozen
foods are equal in all respects to fresh foods. The commercial
practices of bleaching vegetables, heat-processing fruit juices, and saturating fruits with refined sugar syrup prior to freezing
eliminate these frozen foods from the raw diet. The home
deep-freeze is adapted to storing some foods, but not all foods. All frozen vegetables are inferior in flavor and texture
to fresh vegetables when consum ed in their raw state. Fruits
are much better adapted to the freezing process. Ordinarily,
home-frozen fruits are treated with refined sugar syrup, just
as commercial fruits are, in order to delay enzyme action and thus assure better preservation. But the practice is entirely
unnecessary. All fruits may be frozen with complete
satisfaction without added sugar, the only requirement being
that honey be used as a substitute. Fruits frozen with honey
preserve their original color and flavor every bit as well as those frozen with sugar, and they are far more healthful. Either the whole berries or s liced tree fruits may be frozen,
or, if preferred, the juices may be extracted and frozen. All
foods should be consumed as soon as possible after thawing. In addition to the regular deep-freeze, the refrigerator freezer
 compartment and the ice cream freezer may be used in
preparing certain frozen foods. RECIPES
   With a basic knowledge of the many foods that may be
used in an uncooked diet, as well as some of the techniques of
preparing such foods, you will be in a position to utilize
recipes and menus for your own enjoyment and physical benefit. Here you will find recipes designed for the use of a wide variety of raw foods, as may be available under good conditions in regions favored with the widest production and
marketing of food products. They represent an ideal to work
for as far as the general circumstances permit, but that is all. Don't become disturbed if you cannot obtain all of the foods
mentioned; substitutions can always be made and the dietary
may be adjusted to fit in with the selection of foods you find
available. The fundamental need in utilizing raw foods is to make your
meals as tasty and appetizing as possible. If you apply
imagination and good judgment in the techniques of food preparation, you will find yourself enjoying your foods far
more than you ever did in the past. The food combinations
that may be developed in beverages, dressings, salads, confections, desserts, etc., are almost endless. Hundreds in each category may be devised at will. Here you will find a limited number to start with, and as you proceed to work and
experiment with raw food preparations, you will doubtless
find many new ones which may also suit your individual
taste. V

BEVERAGE COMBINATIONS PREPARED IN THE
ELECTRIC  BLENDER
   The beverages that can be made in the electric blender
number in the thousands. For all beverages you need at least two parts of liquid to one part of solid. Fruits, vegetables, and coconut should be cut into small pieces before blending. Raw nut butters can always be used in place of fresh nuts, and they
will reduce the time required for mixing. If a rather thick
beverage is to be made, it is best to pour in the liquid first and then add the solid ingredients slowly while the mixture is
turning. Many of the beverages may be converted into soups
simply by warming (but not cooking) them over a fire and
serving in soup bowls. Usually the beverages are served cold,
but if you want an extra cold drink, simply add a half cup of crushed ice to the mixture. The following beverage

 en vironment for the
bacillus coli. So, the process in many respects is aimed at re -establishing the naturally occurring lactobacillus acidophilus. This
bowel condition is the one from which man’s greatest health can be obtained. Maintaining this condition pu ts one upon the path to
healthy and vital living. When I say that we want to re -establish the naturally occurring acidophilus, I mean that the acidophilus is normally established at
birth. Within the mother’s milk is a substance known as colostrum. This s ubstance produces a baby’s first peristaltic action in the
bowel. Being the first nourishment ingested into the system, mother’s milk produces an acid environment in the colon. This oc curs
due to the lactose or milk sugar that reaches the colon. When a mot her breast feeds her baby, she gives it the best possible start in
life and health. The first bacteria to enter the child’s digestive tract will establish itself within a matter of hours from birth. It is
now that a very critical decision has been made tha t will influence the growth of the individual for its life’s duration. If the colon is
found to be acid, promoted by mother’s milk, then the acidophilus will take root and flourish. If the colon is found to be al kaline or
neutral the chances of bacillus co li to flourish are encouraged. The lactose of mother’s milk has the unique quality of being slowly
metabolized by the body. It reaches the colon still intact and provides nourishment for the acidophilus bacteria. Formulas ot her
than mother’s milk deprive t he colon of this food and therefore set the stage for coli inhabitation - the beginning of disease. Ask
around and compare illnesses with those who have been breast fed and those who have not. Even if one is fortunate to have com e
in with this natural bles sing, it is no guarantee that it will stay that way. Defoliation can occur quite easily. Poor dietary habits in
particular cause this destruction of the acidophilus environment. Also, antibiotics will cause great damage. Lactobacillus ba cteria
has a symbio tic relationship with the human body. It is a good boarder and always pays the rent in advance, doing more than its
share. When we properly care for the bowel, we are automatically providing a welcome home for those favorable life -giving
bacteria that are essential to good health. Among other things, they provide very valuable nutritional metabolites for the body to
use in rebuilding and maintaining health. Examples are portions of the vitamin B complex, enzymes and essential amino acids, the
increased and more efficient absorption of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. They are responsible for the synthesis of certain
vitamins. They maintain an antibacillus coli environment. They contribute to good health in many ways we are not scientifical ly
aware of yet. THE VALUE OF LACTIC ACID
Milk, when first secreted from the udder of a healthy cow or other lactating animal, is sterile, but it becomes invaded by ba cteria
almost immediately. Milk is a good medium for breeding bacteria of all kinds, good and bad. Any changes which occur in the milk
after it is secreted are the result of bacterial action converging nutrients into other substances. If bacteria could be prev ented from
contaminating the milk drawn from the udder, it would remain sweet indefinitely; but thi s is an impossibility. John Harvey
Kellogg performed an amazing experiment demonstrating this fact. He immersed a one -pound piece of raw meat, slightly tainted,
in buttermilk. The milk was changed at regular intervals. The meat remained perfectly free of d ecomposition for some 20 years. This demonstrates the efficiency of an acid medium in inhibiting decay producing, putrefactive bacteria. Soured milk is also called
turned, fermented, curdled and clabbered milk. The Bulgarians and Turks called it yogurt; th e Russian calls it Kefir. Among the
essential goods of some Nomadic people is a lump of casein milk curds, wrapped up to prevent its drying. This lump of casein is
put into the milk bag containing the freshly drawn milk and allowed to remain there until th e milk sours. Then the curd ball,
rejuvenated in the process, is returned to its wrapping. Using this process, the Nomad knows his soured milk will not rot nor
putrefy. In this condition, the milk retains its food value until it is used up. In more recen t years, since the studies of Metchnikoff, fermented milk has been in great demand and widely used. It has been
prescribed for better health in general and for a wide range of ailments, particularly those arising from intestinal and meta bolic
disturbances. Metchnikoff is really the father of modern -time fermented milk. He made it popular and as the head of the Pasteur
Institute in Paris stimulated a great deal of scientific study about the remedial value of fermented milk. He was an indefati gable
worker on the subject of longevity. His experiments for attainment of better health and longer life attracted world -wide attention. He maintained that stasis and putrefaction of the bowel shortens life and causes diseases, early senility and premature death  for
whic h he recommended fermented milk as the best neutralizer and antidote. He deduced this from the fact that the Bulgarians,
Turks, Arabs, Jews and others who are addicted to the use of fermented milk as the English are to the afternoon tea, produce more
cente narians than any other nationality, Bulgarians showing 1,500 centenarians out of every million of population. In America,
only nine out of every million reach that age. No doubt the fact that these people use a great deal of fermented milk, and be cause it
contains the very valuable lactic acid and the changed proteins, can be considered as a factor in their longevity. But, lest we forget,
how about their simple fare, simple mode of living, the outdoor life they lead. Are these not just as important, perhaps  more so, as
factors in longevity than just fermented milk. Metchnikoff inferred that their longevity was due solely to the fermented milk. He obtained a microbe which he called Bacillu s
Bulgaricus from the casein ball the Bulgarians used to induce souri ng in freshly drawn milk of their herd, and found it would
indeed induce souring of milk, and very rapidly. He tried to implant this Bulgarian bacillus in the intestinal tract of man, and
thereby induce lactic acid formation, thus eventually to crowd out t he malignant microbe that may be causing putrefaction, but the
experiment was not successful. The Bulgarian bacillus is a milk parasite. Many bacteria produce lactic acid, but relatively f ew
grow well in the alimentary canal. Time, observation and experime ntation have proven that the bacillus bulgaricus is not viable,
which means that when ingested, it does not thrive in the gastro -intestinal tract, but it is digested and destroyed in the stomach and
small intestine and does not reach the large intestine. I t does not get into the colon where it is most needed. The bacillus
bulgaricus, after being ingested, does not appear in the feces when examined. Lactobacillus Bulgaricus preparations have been
omitted because they contain an organism foreign to the intest inal tract of man and incapable of being implanted in the human
intestine. The lactobacillus acidophilus preparations have been retained because this organism is capable of implantation, gr owth
and lactic acid -production in the intestine of man. The presen ce of any bacillus acidi lactici in the feces is the only real proof of
their value as definite remedial agents in colonic disturbances, especially in constipation. Out of the more than one hundred  species
of bacillus acidi lactici, including the bacillus yogurt, streptococcus lacticus, thermophilus, lactobacillus adondolyticus, Boas
Oppler bacillus, lactobacillus lopersici, etc., none thrive or can be implanted in the large intestine, other than the lactob acillus
acidophilus. Rahe made a critical investig ation,of the implantation of L. bulgaricus. His work tends to show that although L. bulgaricus milk is
ingested, it disappears very soon after ingestion has stopped. This investigator also points out a very significant fact - that the
difference between L. bulgaricus and certain acid -forming bacteria, which are known to occur normally in the intestines, is so
slight that they can be distinguished only with difficulty. He suggests that the belief on the part of some investigators tha t L. bulgaricus becomes established in the intestines was caused by their inability to distinguish between these two types. The only
bacillus acidi lactici that can thrive and can be implanted into the adult large intestine is the lactobacillus acidophilus. Lactobacillus acidophi lus belongs to the aciduric lactobacillus group which is widely distributed in nature. This group of bacteria
contains many varieties of related organisms. Lactobacillus acidophilus and lactobacillus bifidus are found in the gastro -intestinal
tract of man and animals. Lactobacillus bulgaricus usually occurs in the intestinal contents of cattle. It is frequently present in dairy
products, contaminated with fecal material from

Now we turn to the book of Numbers and here we find a strange story. I
trust that some of you have had this experience as described in the book
of Numbers. They speak of the building of a tabernacle at the command
of God; that God commanded Israel to build him a place of worship. He gave them all the specifications of the tabernacle. It had to be an
elongated, movable place of worship, and it had to be covered with skin. Need you be told anything more? Isn’t that man? “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God
dwelleth in you?” (1 Cor 3:16). There is no other temple. Not a temple made with hands, but a temple
eternal in the heavens. This temple is elongated, and it is covered with
skin, and it moves across the dessert. “And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the
tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was
upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning. So it was always: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire
by night.” (Num 9:15, 16). The command given to Israel was to tarry until the cloud ascended by day
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenand the fire by night. “Whether it were two days, or a month, or a year,
that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the chil -
dren of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was
taken up, they journeyed.” (Num 9:22). You know that you are the tabernacle, but you may wonder, what is the
cloud. In meditation many of you must have seen it. In meditation, this
cloud, like the sub-soil waters of an artesian well, springs spontaneously
to your head and forms itself into pulsating, golden rings. Then, like a
gentle river they flow from your head in a stream of living rings of gold. In a meditative mood bordering on sleep the cloud ascends. It is in this
drowsy state that you should assume that you are that which you desire
to be, and that you have that which you seek, for the cloud will assume
the form of your assumption and fashion a world in harmony with itself. The cloud is simply the garment of your consciousness, and where your
consciousness placed, there you will be in the flesh also. This golden cloud comes in meditation. There is a certain point when you
are approaching sleep that it is very, very thick, very liquid, and very
much alive and pulsing. It begins to ascend as you reach the drowsy,
meditative state, bordering on sleep. You do not strike the tabernacle;
neither do you move it until the cloud begins to ascend. The cloud always ascends when man approaches the drowsiness of sleep. For when a man goes to sleep, whether he knows it or not, he slips from a
three-dimensional world into a fourth-dimensional world and that which is
ascending is the consciousness of that man in a greater focus; it is a
fourth-dimensional focus. What you now see ascending is your greater self. When that begins to as -
cend you enter into the actual state of feeling you are what you want to
be. That is the time you lull yourself into the mood of being what you
want to be, by either experiencing in imagination what you would experi -
ence in reality were you already that which you want to be, or by repeat -
ing over and over again the phrase that implies you have already done
what you want to do. A phrase such as, “Isn't it wonderful, isn't it won -
derful,” as though some wonderful thing had happened to you. “In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men,
in slumberings upon the bed. Then he openeth the ears of men, and
sealeth their instruction.” (Job 33:15, 16). Use wisely the interval preceding sleep. Assume the feeling of the wish
fulfilled and go to sleep in this mood. At night, in a dimensionally larger
world, when deep sleep falleth upon men, they see and play the parts
that they will later play on earth. And the drama is always in harmony
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenwith that which their dimensionally greater selves read and play through
them. Our illusion of free will is but ignorance of the causes which make
us act. The sensation which dominates the mind of man as he falls asleep,
though false, will harden into fact. Assuming the feeling of the wish ful -
filled as we  fall asleep, is the command to this embodying process saying
to our mood, “Be thou actual.” In this way we become through a natural
process what we desire to be. I can tell you dozens of personal experiences where it seemed impossible
to go elsewhere, but by placing myself elsewhere mentally as I was about
to go to sleep, circumstances changed quickly which compelled me to
make the journey. I have done it across water by placing myself at night
on my bed as though I slept where I wanted to be. As the days unfolded
things began to mold themselves in harmony with that assumption and all
things that must happen to compel my journey did happen. And I, in spite
of myself, must make ready to go toward that place which I assumed I
was in when I approached the deep of sleep. As my cloud ascends I assume that I am now the man I want to be, or
that I am already in the place where I want to visit. I sleep in that place
now. Then life strikes the tabernacle, strikes my environment and re -
assembles my environment across seas or over land and reassembles it in
the likeness of my assumption. It has nothing to do with men walking
across a physical desert. The whole vast world round about you is a
desert. From the cradle to the grave you and I walk as though we walk the
desert. But we have a living tabernacle wherein God dwells, and it is cov -
ered with a cloud which can and does ascend when we got to sleep or are
in a state akin to sleep. Not necessarily in two days, it can ascend in two
minutes. Why did they give you two days? If I now become the man I
want to be, I may become dissatisfied tomorrow. I should at least give it
a day before I decide to move on. The Bible says in two days, a month, or a year; whenever you decide to
move on with this tabernacle let the cloud ascend. As it ascends you start
moving where the cloud is. The cloud is simply the garment of your con -
sciousness, your assumption. Where the consciousness is placed you do
not have to take the physical body; it gravitates there in spite of you. Things happen to compel you to move in the direction where you are con -
sciously dwelling. “In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have
told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place
for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am,
More Free Books Law of Attraction Haventhere ye may be also.” (John 14:2, 3). The many mansions are the unnumbered states within your mind, for you
are the house of God. In my Father's house are unnumbered concepts of
self. You could not in eternity exhaust what you are capable of being. If I sit quietly here and assume that I am elsewhere, I have gone and
prepared a place. But if I open my eyes, the bi-location which I created
vanishes and I am back here in the physical form that I left behind me as
I went to prepare a place. But I prepared the place nevertheless and will
in time dwell there physically. You do not have to concern yourself with the ways and the means that
will be employed to move you across space into that place where you
have gone and mentally prepared it. Simply sit quietly, no matter where
you are, and mentally actualize it. But I give you warning, do not treat it lightly, for I am conscious of what it
will do to people who treat it lightly. I treated it lightly once because I just
wanted to get away, based only upon the temperature of the day. It was
in the deep of winter in New York, and I so desired to be in the warm cli -
mate of the Indies, that I slept that night as though I slept under palm
trees. Next morning when I awoke it was still very much winter. I had no intentions of going to the Indies that year, but distressing news
came which compelled me to make the journey. It was in the midst of war
when ships were being sunk right and left, but I sailed out of New York on
a ship 48 hours after I received this news. It


, do not observe
them, but immediately switch your mind to the picture of you in
your perfect body and feel it. You must feel good. You must feel good about You. This is impor-
tant, because you cannot attract your perfect weight if you feel bad
about your body now. If you feel bad about your body, that is a
powerful feeling, and you will continue to attract feeling bad about
your body. You will never change your body if you are critical of
it and find fault with it, and in fact you will attract more weight to
you. Praise and bless every square inch of your body. Think about
all the perfect things about You. As you think perfect thoughts, as
you feel good about You, you are on the frequency of your perfect
weight, and you are summoning perfection. Wallace Wattles shares a wonderful tip about eating in one of his
books. He recommends that when you eat, make sure you are en-
tirely focused on the experience of chewing the food. Keep your
mind present and experience the sensation of eating food, and
do not allow your mind to drift to other things. Be present in
your body and enjoy all the sensations of chewing the food in
your mouth and swallowing it. Try it the next time you are eat-
ing. When you are completely present as you eat, the flavor of the
food is so intense and magnificent; when you let your mind drift. 62 The Secret
the flavor virtually disappears. I am convinced that if we can eat
our food in the present, entirely focused on the pleasurable expe-
rience of eating, the food is assimilated into our bodies perfectly,
and the result in our bodies must be perfection. The end of the story about my own weight is that I now maintain
my perfect weight of 116 pounds and I can eat whatever I want. So,
focus on your perfect weight! DR. JOE VlTALE
Another thing people wonder about is, "How long will it take
to manifest the car, the relationship, the money?" I don't have
any rulebook that says it's going to take thirty minutes or
three days or thirty days. It's more a matter of you being in
alignment with the Universe itself. Time is just an illusion. Einstein told us that. If this is the first time
you have heard it, you may find it a hard concept to get your head
around, because you see everything happening—one thing after
the other. What quantum physicists and Einstein tell us is that ev
erything is happening simultaneously. If you can understand that
there is no time, and accept that concept, then you will see that
whatever you want in the future already exists. If everything is
happening at the one time, then the parallel version of you with
what you want already exists! How to Use the Secret 63
It takes no time for the Universe to manifest what you want. Any
time delay you experience is due to your delay in getting to the
place of believing, knowing, and feeling that you already have it. It
is you getting yourself on the frequency of what you want When
you are on that frequency, then what you want will appear. BOB DOYLE
Size is nothing to the Universe. It is no more difficult to
attract, on a scientific level, something that we consider huge
to something that we consider infinitesimally small. The Universe does everything with zero effort. The grass
doesn't strain to grow. It's effortless. It's just this great design. It's all about what's going on in your mind. It's about what
we put in place, saying, ''This is big, it's going to take some
time." And, "This is small. I'll give it an hour." Those are
our rules that we define. There are no rules according to the
Universe. You provide the feelings of having it now; it will
respond—whatever it is. There is no time for the Universe and there is no size for the Uni-
verse. It is as easy to manifest one dollar as it is to manifest one
million dollars. It is the same process, and the only reason why
one may come faster and the other may take longer is because you
thought that a million dollars was a lot of money and that one dol-
lar was not very much. 64 The Secret

Some people have an easier time with little things, and so we
sometimes say start with something small, like a cup of coffee. Make it your intention to attract a cup of coffee today. BOB PROCTOR
Hold an image of talking to an old friend that you haven't
seen for a long time. Somehow or another somebody's going to
start talking to you about that person. That person's going to
phone you or you'll get a letter from her. Starting with something small is an easy way to experience the law
of attraction with your own eyes. Let me share a story with you of
a young man who did exactly that. He watched The Secret and he
decided to start with something small. He created a picture of a feather in his mind/ and he made sure this
feather was unique. He created particular markings on the feather
so he would know without any doubt that if he saw this feather,
it had come to him through his intentional use of the law of at
traction. Two days later, he was about to walk into a high-rise building on
a street in New York City. He said he did not know why, but he
just happened to look down. There at his feet, at the entrance to a
high-rise building in New York City, was the feather! Not just any
feather, but the exact feather he had imagined. It was identical to
the picture he had created in his mind, with all of its unique mark-
ings. In that moment he knew, without a shred of doubt, that this How to Use the Secret 65
was the law of attraction working in all its glory. He realized his
amazing ability and power to attract something to himself through
the power of his mind. With total faith, he has now moved onto
creating much bigger things. DAVID SCHIRMER

People are amazed at how I line up parking
spaces. I've done this right from when I first
understood The Secret. I would visualize a parking space
exactly where I wanted it, and 95 percent of the time it would
be therefore me and I would just pull straight in. Five percent
of the time I'd have to wait just a minute or two, and the
person would pull out and I'd pull in, I do that all the time. Now you might understand why a person who says, "I always get
parking spaces," gets them. Or why a person who says, "I am re-
ally lucky, I win things all the time," wins one thing after another,
all the time. These people expect it. Begin to expect great things, and
as you do, you will create your life in advance. 66 The Secret
You can use the law of attraction to create your whole life in ad-
vance, right down to the next thing you are doing today Prentice
Mulford, a teacher whose writings share so many insights into the
law of attraction and how to use it, demonstrates how important it
is to think your day in advance. "When you say to yourself 'I am going to have
a pleasant visit or a pleasant journey/ you are
literally sending elements and forces ahead
of your body that will arrange things to make
your visit or journey pleasant. When before the
visit or the journey or the shopping trip you
are in a bad humor, or fearful or apprehensive
of something unpleasant, you are sending
unseen agencies ahead of you which will make
some kind of unpleasantness. Our thoughts,
or in other words, our state of mind, is ever
at work 'fixing up' things good or bad in
advance." Prentice Mulford wrote those words in the 1870s. What a pioneer! You can see clearly how important it is to think in advance every
event in every day. You will no doubt have experienced the oppo-How to Use the Secret 67
site of thinking your day in advance, and one of the repercussions
of that is having to rush and hurry. If you are rushing or hurrying, know that those thoughts and ac-
tions are based in fear (fear of being late) and you are "fixing up"
bad things ahead for you. As you continue to rush, you will attract
one bad thing after another into your path. In addition to that, the
law of attraction is "fixing up" more future circumstances that will
cause you to rush and hurry. You must stop and move yourself off
that frequency. Take a few moments and shift yourself, if you don't
want to summon bad things to you. Many people, particularly in Western societies, chase "time" and
complain that they don't have enough time. Well, as someone says
that they don't have enough time, so it must be by the law of at-
traction. If you have been chasing your tail with thoughts of not
having enough time, from now on declare emphatically, "I have
more than enough time," and change your life. You can also turn waiting into a powerful time to create your fu-
ture life. Next time you are in a situation where you are waiting,
seize that time and imagine having all

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 being thought that the thatched-roof house with its smoke-laden air was
an important contributing factor, notwithstanding the fact that former generations had been free
from the disease. I was told that the incidence of tuberculosis was frequently the same in the
modern homes as it was in the thatched-roof homes. It was of special interest to observe the
mental attitude of the native with regard to the thatched-roof house. Again and again, we saw the
new house built beside the old one, and the people apparently living in the new one, but still
keeping the smoke smudging through the thatch of the old thatched-roof house. When I inquired
regarding this I was told by one of the clearthinking residents that this thatch collected something
from the smoke which when put in the soil doubled the growth of plants and yield of grain. He
showed me with keen interest two patches of grain which seemed to demonstrate the soundness of
his contention. I was particularly interested in studying the growing boys and girls at a place called Scalpay in
the Isle of Harris. This Island is very rocky and has only small patches of soil for available
pasturage. For nutrition, the children of this community were dependent very largely on oatmeal
porridge, oatcake and sea foods. An examination of the growing boys and girls disclosed the fact
that only one tooth out of every hundred examined had ever been attacked by tooth decay. The
general physical development of these children was excellent, as may be seen in the upper half of
Fig. 7. Note their broad faces.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>
Q: Where did the author fail to obtain transportation to visit some of the islands?,
A: They failed to obtain transportation to visit the islands of Taransay and Scarpa on the west coast of the Isle of Harris.
Q: What is the diet of the people on Taransay and Scarpa, and how does it affect their physical health?,
A: The people on Taransay and Scarpa do not have dairy products in their diet, and instead consume oatmeal porridge, oatcake, and fish. Their diet is free of tooth decay and has contributed to their remarkable physical health.
Q: What is the difference in the physical appearance of the children on the Isle of Bardsey and those in the hamlet of Tarbert on the Isle of Harris?,
A: The children on the Isle of Bardsey have a high degree of tooth decay, while those in the hamlet of Tarbert on the Isle of Harris have a very low incidence of tooth decay.
Q: What is the difference in the physical appearance of the Eskimos who have never had contact with modern foods and those who have adopted a modern diet?,
A: The Eskimos who have never had contact with modern foods have broad faces and excellent dental arches, while those who have adopted a modern diet have narrow faces and deformed dental arches.
Q: What is the main issue with the Eskimos who have adopted a modern diet, according to the Director of the hospital at Brantford, Ontario?,
A: The Director of the hospital stated that the demand for beds at the hospital had changed significantly, with maternity-related issues becoming a major concern, as the young mothers are often brought to the hospital after being in labor for days.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>They are entirely different from their grandmothers or even mothers in their capacity
and efficiency in the matter of reproduction. He stated that that morning he had had two cases in
which surgical interference was necessary in order to make birth possible. We had an opportunity here to study the effects of modernization. Indians are great lovers of
sports, particularly of their own national game which is lacrosse. We were able to witness one of
these contests with a team from another reservation. Indian families came in modern automobiles
dressed in modern clothes and purchased pop and candy and modern confections at typical
confection stands. These were highly modernized Indians. The group on this reservation, comprising approximately four thousand seven hundred Indians,
belong to the following tribes: Mohawks, Onondagas, Cayugas, Senecas, Oneidas and Delawares
making up the Six Nation or Iroquois group. A later addition to this group has been the Tuscaroras
from the Carolinas. While there were many mixed bloods, there were also a goodly number of full-
blooded Indian families, so that there was an opportunity to study comparatively the effects of
intermingling of the Indians with the whites. As in previous investigations, a special effort was made
to study the children from eight to sixteen years of age. Typical cases were selected from different
environments. For example, boys and girls selected from a training school called Mohawk
Institute, which was near the city of Brantford, represented one type of environment. There are
approximately one hundred and sixty students under training here, and we were informed that they
study half a day and work half a day. The boys are taught craftsmanship and farming, the girls,
home economics and garment making, and such practical training as would prepare them for later
home building. While most of the boys and girls come from that reservation, a few are accepted
from other reservations. It is of interest that 77 per cent of the children in this Institution had
suffered from earlier dental caries and that 17 per cent of all the teeth examined had already been
attacked by dental caries. But this had occurred apparently before their entrance to the Institute,
for we did not find a single case of active caries among those examined, and this is particularly
important in connection with their excellent nutrition. The Institute maintained a fine dairy herd and
provided fresh vegetables, whole wheat bread, and limited the sugar and white flour. The children of this group were compared with children of approximately the same age in a
public school of the reservation where it was found that 90 per cent had had dental caries, and that
at present in 70 per cent of the cases the caries was apparently active. It is important to note that
in this group 28.5 per cent of all the teeth examined had already been attacked by tooth decay. A study was made of patients at the reservation hospital where free service of all kinds is
provided. We found that 83 per cent had suffered from dental caries, and that 23.2 per cent of all
teeth had already been attacked by caries. We were particularly interested in the conditions obtaining in the homes, especially with the
mothers. A typical young mother had approximately half her teeth attacked by dental caries, as
had also her son, aged seven. The middle third of his face was underdeveloped and all of his upper
anterior teeth were decayed to the gum line. A study was made of an Indian reservation in New York State for comparison and for making
an estimate of typical modern American Indian life with regard to dental caries and nutrition. For
this study a band of 450 in the Tuscarora Reservation northeast of Niagara Falls was visited. Here
again we were fortunate to see the people in holiday mood since the study was made on
Decoration Day and events of the year had been scheduled, a lacrosse match and a baseball7/29/13 Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html#toc 57/250game, between the Indians' teams and white teams from adjacent towns. Several hundred Indians
were congregated to exhibit their best in wearing apparel, transportation equipment, and physical
prowess. There was evidence of a similarity of features in the older Indians who had not been
highly modernized, and a striking deficiency in the facial development of many of the moderns. A typical mother was studied at her home. She had four children. Her teeth were ravaged by
dental caries. She was strictly modern, for she had gold inlays in some of her teeth. The roots of
the missing teeth had not been extracted. Twenty of her teeth had active dental caries. Her little
girl, aged four, already had twelve very badly carious teeth. Another daughter aged eight had
sixteen carious teeth, and her son aged ten had six. The husband was in bed from an acute lung
involvement, doubtless tuberculosis. The children were eating their noon day meal when we
arrived, which consisted of a white bread and some stewed vegetables. Milk was available for
only the small baby in arms. In this Tuscarora group 83 per cent of those examined had dental
caries and 38 per cent of all teeth had already been attacked by dental caries. Every one studied in
this reservation was using white-flour products, none were using milk liberally, and only a few in
even limited amounts. I was told that in both reservations a few years ago the Indians grew wheat
and kept cows to


ases and that there are no laws
to control his decisions to do this that or the other. But, from the beginning of history, most of humanity has
realized, however dimly, that there is some kind of law and
authority in the Universe. This is shown by the fact that man
kind-not knowing what that authority is-has postulated
deities of many kinds and a Spiritual Universe in authority over
the Material Universe. The material and the spiritual, the body and the mind, the
organism and the soul-these contrasting concepts represent a
prevalent attitude of mankind towards the Universe in which
he finds himself. But is this attitude really justified? Is it merely the result of
our lack of information about the true nature of things? If the
Universe is one of law and order-as all the evidence indicates-is
it not more likely that there is really a 'unified authority' rather
than a 'divided rule' of the spiritual and material? Webster de
fines universe as: 'All created things viewed as constituting one
system or whole; the creation, the cosmos.' The very word, then,
implies unity, not the 'dual control' of two kinds of authority. If, too, we accept that the Universe is one of law and order, are
we justified in assuming that it includes some chaotic exceptions? Is it not more likely that such an assumption is merely a product
of our ignorance? The fields of life can offer us a new approach to these vital
questions. But, before we discuss this, it is necessary to dis
tinguish between the three kinds of laws that govern mankind :
First, there are Nature's laws, definable and reproducible,
which, as far as we know, are valid right through the Universe. Though we can hope to learn more about them, it is certain that
we can neither alter nor repeal them. THE CONTINUING ADV ENTURE
Second, there are man-made written laws which vary from
country to country and from state to state. These-as we are
painfully aware at the present time-are not always enforced
or enforceable and can be argued, evaded or appealed ad nauseam. While Nature's laws are precise, inflexible and permanent, man
made laws arc often fuzzy, pliable and variable. So much so, in
fact, that it is hard for many who are only familiar with man
made laws to realize that there can be a superior kind. Third, there are the so-called moral laws. These, again, are
laws invented by the mind of man, nearly always with the hope
that they will improve man's attitude towards other men. Most,
if not all, of these laws are the product of the intuitive, creative
capacity of the mind of man-expounded by the philosophers
and prophets of past genera tions. They are valuable because, like
the written law, they are primarily concerned with controlling
behaviour and represent one creative activity of the mind of man. But they vary from country to country and bear little-if any
relationship to the laws of the Universe. Moreover they have been imposed on mankind by. tradition
and by past intuitions; and it is hard to believe that the elder
statesmen of two or three thousand years ago could present,
through intuition-valuable as it may have been-the answers
to all the questions which actually face the mind of man today. Of the three kinds of laws, only those of Nature that we have
discovered can give us a feeling of certainty. At the sub-atomic
level, it is true, there is still some uncertainty. But once the sub
atomic entities arc agglomerated into atoms or molecules we
can recognize and validate primary laws and forces. We know,
for example, that there is a law of gravity. We also know about
electrical and magnetic forces, nuclear forces and contact forces. The laws underlying such phenomena, in fact, are so well known
to scientists that they can be made to serve mankind. Our use
of these natural laws in the present age is miraculous. As a re
sult, we live in a much more comfortable world-at least in the
Northern Hemisphere -than mankind has ever known. Those parts of the world which we choose to call 'primitive'
are so because their inhabitants have not yet learned enough
about the laws and forces of Nature to use them to their full ad-
116 THE CONTINUING ADVENTURE
vantage. Through the extraordinary development of science, the
Western world has put forces to work for its benefit in an excit
ing and unprecedented way. This would not have been possible
if there were no natural laws and forces which the mind of man
could discover and-more important -understand. To the precise laws of Nature, man's written and moral laws
offer a depressing contrast. The written law, formalized and
expanded by lawyers, is not necessarily the law by which men
live. The living law of human beings is mainly an unwritten
law but it controls the major part of our activities. In many ways,
most of us tend to ignore the written law and behave as we
think commonsense, as it is called, dictates. Moral law is even more flexible -as we see in the current era
of 'permissiveness'. And it is always easier to tell the other man
what he should do than it is to do those things ourselves. Man
has an astonishing capacity to dodge the issues, to hide his real
drive behind a plethora of words which, in many cases, serve as
an excuse for what he thinks should be done or perhaps, more
accurately, for what he wants to do. lt is an extraordinary fact that over the past few thousand
years man has developed an astonishing capacity to use the laws
of Nature for his benefit but, as far as one can see, he has not
made a comparable advance by his use of the written or moral
laws. Most of man's troubles are spawned in the swamps of his own
desires. And his written and moral laws have no relation to the
laws of Nature. As a result, conflict, frustration and anxiety rule
the minds of many, because they cannot reconcile their written
and moral laws with the laws of Nature. We will not be able to get rid of a great many of our troubles,
therefore, until we attempt to relate the written and moral laws
to the laws of the Universe. And if we spent the same amount of
time and money on resolving the discrepancies bet ween the man
made laws of the legalists and moralists and the laws of the
Universe, there is no reason why our advances should not be as
miraculous as those in our material environment. We need to
devote the same kind of effort and thinking which is at present
applied to space exploration to revise man-made laws and to
117 THE CONTINUING ADVENTURE
harmonize them as far as we can with what we know about the
laws of Nature. 4
No doubt it will take a very long time before we can make
man-made laws more compatible with those of Nature. But it is
important to make a start because the sooner we can do this,
the sooner we can begin to resolve some of our problems and
frustra tions. This task, of course, should be attacked from as many useful
angles as we can think of. But in this book we can only consider
the ways in which a further study of the fields of life can con
tribute to the greatest problem that faces mankind-human be
haviour. An immedia te-and important-contribution which a know
ledge of L-fields can make is the certainty that there an natural
laws to which mankind is subject for us to discover and under
stand. We are not chasing a mere will-O'-the-wisp because we
have found that the L-fields which control man are themselves
subject to the greater fields of the Universe. For us to get any real understanding of the natu re of man and
why he behaves as he does, it is necessary to find natural factors
which, like the law of gravity, are valid everywhere and not only
in the western, eastern or southern hemisphere. L-fields offer us
a starting clue in this search because-as we have seen-the state
of the human field reflects the state of the mind. As L-fields are
subject to universal forces. operating everywhere, it seems reason
able to suppose that the latter have some planet-wide influence
on the minds of men. As extraterrestrial forces, such as solar flares and sun-spot
activity, influence the L-fields of trees it seems most unlikely that
human L-fields are unaffected by such forces. For instance, as
this is written, we are approaching the peak of the current cycle
of sun-spot activity. Is it coincidence that in the past few years
there have been unusual world-wide unrest, riots and disturb
ances of various kinds? We do not know whether it is coincid-
118 THE CONTINUING ADVENTURE
ence or not. But if we could establish by further experiment and
analysis that mankind tends to be more excitable during increas

 patient will also want to give up peanuts. First, the peanut is not a nut,
but a legume. Second, the peanut also has too much protein for the cancer patient. Third, it has been found that a fungus grows on peanuts, which produces aflatoxin. To stimulate cancers in experimental animals cancer researchers use aflatoxin. Processed Foods
White Flour
All concentrated foods are extremely hard on the liver and should be given up. White flour and all products containing white flour should be avoided. These are not
only concentrated carbohydrates, but almost always have preservatives added. Use fresh whole wheat bread, made from wheat grown free of all pesticides
(another liver destroying chemical). The essential vitamins are oxidized within three
days at room temperature; hence the need for grinding only as used. Freshly ground
flour or freshly made whole wheat bread may be safely stored deep in a deep freeze
for about a week. It is best, however, to use it within three days. White Sugar
The cancer patient w ill also want to give up all white sugar and white sugar
products. The concentrated carbohydrates are hard on the liver, but more important
in relation to cancer, they are very hard on the pancreas. The pancreas, as noted
earlier, is the first organ to be protected at all costs. White sugar has been processed
(refined) and all the vital minerals are taken out. Cancer patients are always deficient
in minerals. For those who have a sweet tooth, these organic foods may be eaten as desired:
dates, date sugar, figs and raisins obtained from a health food store. These are free of
toxic pesticides and are not harmful to the pancreas or the liver. A cancer patient may
also eat pure maple syrup or unheated honey, in that order. The first is preferable
because it has a higher mineral content. Soy Products
Soy products, except Lecithin, should be used very sparingly for two reasons: First,
the protein content is too high for the cancer patient; Second, soy products tend to
upset the delicate acid/alkaline balance of the body. Eating soy products may be

Other Improper Foods
Lemon juice should replace vinegar altogether. Vinegar is too harsh on the delicate
mucus membrane of the alimentary canal. Also, the ingestion of large quantities of
vinegar causes the digestive tract to become too acid and thus decreases the
efficiency of the pancreatic enzymes and the digestive processes. For at least the first
eight months on Metabolic Medicine's Cancer Cure Program, lemon juice should be
used in preference to vinegar on salads. Unrefined, organic flaxseed oil may be used
as salad dressing
For the period of intensive detoxification and treatment, tea, coffee, soft drinks,
chocolate, liquor, tobacco, pork, and white rice should be avoided. These also place
additional stress upon the liver and pancreas as they are being detoxified. Physiological Reactions to
Eating and Taking Supplements
According to Your Metabolic Type
As you follow a properly balanced nutritional program, changes begin to happen
within your body. Often this is alarming and not at all what you expected to happen. The Ideal Reaction
The ideal reaction is the gradual development of an increased "sense of well
being." At first you w ill notice you do not tire so easily. You "last" longer during the
day, and you do not become tired so early in the evening. Next, you find you are not
so tired in the mornings. You look forward to the new day and may awaken earlier. As your sense of well-being increases, you begin to feel more emotionally and
psychologically secure. Little things do not bother you as they once did. Your old
habit patterns begin to change from "grumpy" ones to "happy" ones. Adverse Reactions
The ideal reaction often occurs, but more frequently there is a multitude of
uncomfortable reactions, which normally come first, as your body chemistry begins
to change. These reactions should not alarm you or cause undue apprehension. Any
one or all of the following reactions may occur:
Toxic Reactions
74
Winning The Cancer War
After about two or three of weeks eating and taking supplements according to your
metabolic type it is normal to experience toxic reactions. You w ill gradually lose your
appetite, become nauseated and may even develop a "toxic headache." Occasionally, you may also experience swelling in the various lymph glands
throughout your body. The normal cells cleaning debris from the system faster than
the liver, kidneys, skin and lungs can remove them from the body bring about these
toxic reactions. At this point you can do two things to help:
1. Discontinue the supplements for no more than a five-day period. Continue the
supplements again for ten to 25 days. This cycle of five days off and ten or more
days on may have to be repeated several times, depending upon the depleted
condition of your body and the amount of repair which is needed at the cellular
level. 2. Take a coffee enema to stimulate the excretion of toxins. The procedure for this
is explained earlier in this book. One or two a day may be taken depending
upon the severity of the toxic condition. In an extreme toxic reaction, both the
discontinuance of supplements and the coffee enema should be used. 75
Structu r a l &  Neu rologica l Stim ulation
W h ile  the bo dy is being p ro p e rly  d e to x ifie d  and nourished,
th e  nerve supply to  th e  pancreas and liv e r should be considered. Structural and Neurological Stimulation
While the body is being properly detoxified and nourished, the nerve supply to the
pancreas and liver should be considered. A specific organ works only when told to by a nerve, chemical, or pressure
stimulation. Upon taking careful histories, we found a number of cancer patients who
had had blows to the head or spine. We feel that such experiences change the nerve
impulses to the various organs. If pressure on a nerve to the pancreas causes it to
cease sending impulses to the pancreas, the pancreas w ill turn off and wait until the
nerve tells it to work again. If the nerve is destroyed, or for some reason never sends a
message, the pancreatic function will be greatly impaired. Probably the best way to reactivate the nerve enervation is through some form of
manipulative therapy such as osteopathic manipulation, chiropractic adjustments, or
physiotherapy. We have found it advisable to have such a weekly manipulative
treatment, for at least the first nine months of cancer treatment. The regular body
massage that people are familiar with are not a good but also helpful. Neurological stimulation can sometimes be increased or simulated by hormone
therapy, but this technique must be performed under the direction of a very highly
skilled clinician. There are a group of dentists who use a method called Mandibular Equilibration
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) equilibration to re-shape the skull, take stresses from
the brain, and in this way effect very profound neurological changes. The following are brief descriptions of a few highly successful body-aligning
systems. Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Equilibration
Temporomandibular Joint is such a mouthful that dentists like to use just the
initials. It is the name of the joint just in front of the ear where the lower jaw hinges. 76

There is one on the right side, and one on the left. When one or both of them are
forced out of place it may lead to such distressing or painful conditions as earache,
headache, head noises, clicking sounds, dizziness, nervousness and even mental
troubles. For such ailments as these, doctors may prescribe hot and cold packs, diathermy,
massage vibration, rest, surgery, psychological treatment or drugs. While all of these
remedies are useful at times, they often do not bring permanent relief if stress in the
joint is the real cause of the trouble. When the cause is stress in this joint in front of the ear, as it often is, a safe and
highly successful dental treatment may be the solution. This treatment is known as
"equilibration" (pronounced ee-quil-i-bray-shun); it simply means equalizing the
muscle forces to restore the lower jaw and its joints to their normal unstrained or
neutral positions. How do the joints get out of adjustment in the first place? It might be from a blow
on the chin, a muscle spasm, or opening the jaw too wide (as when biting or
yawning). But the most common is chewing with teeth that come together in a wrong
way. Dentists refer to this condition as "malocclusion." We close our jaws in chewing food, of course — and most persons also press their
teeth together one or two thousand times a day between meals in swallowing. If the
teeth do not meet properly, the pressures on them during chewing and swallowing
may force the lower jaw into a strained position that pinches the joints in front of the
ears. If you could see through the skin and get a side view of the TMJ, you would see
how the mandible, or lower jaw, hinges to the skull. The joint consists of a ball-and-
socket arrangement, with the ball
