The Cell

The Cell 

In Modules 2.1 and 2.2 we have already laid out the basics, presenting the overall systems of the body. Modules 2.5 and 2.13 will detail each of these various systems (circulatory system, immune system, glandular system, etc.), the organs and glands that comprise them, as well as their related functions.
Before we discuss the systems, organs and glands, however, let’s start at the beginning: with the cell. As all of creation is made up of atoms, so your body—bones, tissues, organs and glands— is made up of cells.
The body has over 75 trillion cells, each as individual as you are. They each perform a specific function, while all working together in harmony to form a social (body) consciousness. In other words, all your cells depend upon each other and work together for the life and functioning of the body.
As the microcosm is a reflection of the macrocosm, a body is a reflection of each of its cells, each being a society unto itself. Each cell is actually like a completely self-sustaining city, taking care of all its own functions, with two exceptions. All cells need an external source of energy (or connection) to this world, and they all need to eliminate their wastes. Let’s examine the “city” or “universe” of the cell.
There are many different systems or structures within a city (like the highway department, for instance) that perform specific functions aimed at the survival and productivity of that city. The same is true within each cell. It has a courthouse (nucleus) where all the records (genetic information) are kept. Within the courthouse (nucleus) you have government employees (nucleoli) who carry out the daily activities and needs that are required for the “men in the field” (ribosomes). All of the above determine the individuality of the cells and their functions.
The atmosphere and the living substance of a cell is called cytoplasm. The city (or cell) is surrounded and protected by a wall and gate system called the plasma membrane or cell wall membrane. This “cellular wall” has gatekeepers that allow or disallow substances into the cell.
The courthouse (nucleus) is also surrounded by a protective and functional wall called the nuclear envelope. There are workers that carry information (substances) from the courthouse (nucleus) to the city and from the city (body or cytoplasm) to the nucleus. These workers are called the endoplasmic reticulum (ER for short).

Extra-cellular substances = substances outside the cells
Intra-cellular substances = substances inside the cells

The Golgi apparatus is named for Camillo Golgi (individuals who discover things like to put their names on them). Golgi was an Italian histologist who uncovered the function of these curved stacks of membrane-bound sacs within cells, which act as factories. They collect, modify, package and distribute the proteins and lipids that are manufactured by the ER. These proteins are present in large amounts in the pancreas, salivary glands, liver, and other organs.
In our cities we have transporters and storage facilities. These are called vesicles within cells. Secretory vesicles break off from the Golgi apparatus with the materials manufactured by the ER, and carry these to the outer cell membrane wall, where this material is then dumped or carried out into the world of the body. Some vesicles act as holding tanks until the “created” or “manufactured” product is needed. An example of this is the hormone insulin, which is held in vesicles in the beta cells of the pancreas. When the body’s blood glucose levels rise, these vesicles then release their stored insulin into the blood to assist cellular utilization of glucose.
As in any city, we need protection from invaders. Many cells act as protectors of the body. These are called immune cells. Within each cell, the lysosomes are vesicles that contain a variety of enzymes that are used for intracellular sanitation and elimination (digestive) functions. Macro-phages (the white blood cells, or WBCs, for example) ingest bacteria (antigens or pathogens). The lysosomes within your cells “eat” or “digest” (break apart) and destroy the invader.
Now what’s a city without power? The powerhouse for a cell is its mitochondria. These are bean- or rod-shaped organelles (specialized organs or structures) that produce, store and release adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This is the energy source for most chemical reactions within the cell. Mitochondria use oxygen (oxidative metabolism) which allows ATP to be produced.
The skeletal portions of the cells (or the “structures” of the city) are called cytoskeleton, which is made up of proteins (chained and bound amino acids). Within the cytoskeleton there are several structures, all of which play a role in its flexibility, shape and size. These are called microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments.
It is noteworthy to mention that some cells have cilia, which are hair-like extensions from the outer membrane wall. They can vary in number from one to thousands. Their coordinated job is to move mucus. You can especially see this in the respiratory tract where mucus is secreted by the lymphatic mucosa of the lining of the lungs and bronchi. The action of the cilia allows the body to keep its lungs clear of dust or other particles that could damage (or affect) its functions.
Some cells have what are called microvilli, which are projections of the outer cell membrane wall. This is especially true of kidneys and intestinal wall cells where additional absorption of nutrients is necessary.
Now you can see how a cell “acts like” and is “created like” a city. All the worlds (creations) of God are just a mirror reflection of each other, from the macrocosm (the largest “world”) to the microcosm (the smallest).
To understand the nature of your cells, it’s also important to understand the different ways that nutrients or elements can enter through the cell membrane wall. Basically, there are two conditions diffusion or osmosis that allow this process to happen.

How Nutrients Enter the Cells
DIFFUSION
Molecules or substances move from a higher or greater concentration of particles into a lesser concentration in a solution. A common example of this is how a concentrated sugar cube disperses in a glass of water.
OSMOSIS
This is a type of diffusion in which molecules or substances move from a less concentrated solution to a higher or more concentrated solution or fluid. Osmosis and the rate of osmosis depend upon several factors that facilitate this action. First and primarily, the osmotic pressures on each side of the cell membrane wall. Secondly, the permeability of the membrane. Thirdly, the electrical potential across the membrane wall and its pores.

A great percentage of osmosis and “facilitated” diffusion requires an “active transporter.” An active transporter simply means that a “carrier” or “transporter” (like a bus) is used to assist the movement of a molecule or substance through a cell membrane wall. An example of this is insulin, which is a carrier or transporter of glucose into a cell. Note that this type of activity requires a small amount of energy since this is an active transport, not a passive one. This energy comes from the cell mitochondria in the form of ADP (adenosine di-phosphate), which comes from stored ATP (adenosine triphosphate). A carrier or transporter can be a hormone, protein, steroid or mineral.
When you are seeking true healing, health and vitality, therefore, you must think cellularly. Healing must happen at the cellular level for true, lasting health and vitality to exist. Spiritually speaking, all life, no matter how small or how large (atoms to universes and everything in between), when manifested physically, must have a mental body (mind portion) and an emotional body (astral portion). This is true for each of your cells, as well as for all plants, all animals, and your entire body. A great example is documented by Christopher Bird and Tom Hopkins in their book The Secret Life of Plants, which tells about the ability of plants to feel and remember. These abilities become more obvious in animals, and more so with human beings.
Cells respond to external stimuli not only from hormones, minerals, sugars, proteins and the like; their ability to function is greatly affected by the body’s pH factors (acidosis), by congestion, types of foods consumed, and chemical consumption. They also respond to thoughts and emotions (feelings). The types of thoughts and feelings you have, harbor or carry around with you play a major role in cellular functioning. To enjoy a state of total health and vitality it is necessary to clean (detoxify) your body, your mind and your emotions, and thus set yourself free.
As the initial parent cell divides, tissues are formed, then organs and glands, and so on. There are two types of cell division—meiosis and mitosis. Through meiosis and mitosis the body grows and repairs itself. Let’s now examine the grouping of cells called tissues.

Types of Cell Division
MEIOSIS
A cell divides with only half of the chromosomes of the related somatic or non-reproductive cell. (These cells replace.)
MITOSIS
Cells divide each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent, or somatic cell. (These cells create.)

The Body’s Systems

The Body’s Systems 

Structures and Functions 

Your physical body is comprised of many systems, which in a combined effort keep it alive and well. These systems make up the organs, glands, blood supply, lymph tissue, muscles, bones, etc. Each system has its own unique job to do to support the whole. As previously stated, these systems depend upon each other for the running, maintenance and repair of the body as a whole entity.
The infrastructure of the human body is like a society: The glandular system is the government. The nervous (electrical) system is the information highway, without which communication throughout the cities (cells, organs and glands) is crippled. The police department consists of small immune cells called lymphocytes (white blood cells), neutrophils, basophils, and macrophages. For added protection we have the military, which are the NK (natural killer) cells the large T and B cells. Of course there are factories, like the liver, bone marrow, glands and some organs. And trash pick-up and waste disposal are done by the lymphatic system, colon, kidneys, lungs and skin. However, without general laborers a society would have all chiefs and nothing would get done. The majority of the cells in the body act as laborers. These cells comprise all the systems, including the skeletal system (bones), muscular system, and connective tissue.
Most of this society’s food is supplied externally by what we feed the body. However, many nutrients are grown by “farmers” called bacteria. It is through their actions and transmutation techniques that many co-enzymes (vitamins or helpers) are produced.
Stepping down into a smaller world we find the cells themselves. Each cell is a city unto itself—a microcosm of the larger society of the whole body. God’s worlds are merely a reflection of each other, as all life forms and structures require other life forms and structures to exist. Consciousness, or the awareness behind all things, is the driving force.
In the following pages of this section I have detailed the various systems and their structures and functions that comprise the physical body.
CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
STRUCTURES — Heart, vascular system (arteries, capillaries and veins), and the blood (also part of the digestive system).
FUNCTIONS — The circulatory system is comprised of the pathways within the body through which the physical life force of the body flows. It distributes nutrients, building materials and fuels for cellular life and activity; works with the lymphatic system in removing metabolic and other wastes from the body; helps keep the body alkaline; is used to help regulate body temperature; and carries oxygen for oxidation purposes (antioxidant and biological transmutation responses).
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
STRUCTURES — Mouth and salivary glands, stomach, small intestines (duodenum, jejunum and ileum), pancreas, liver, gallbladder.
FUNCTIONS — The digestive system employs mechanical (teeth) and chemical (enzymatic) action for the breakdown of coarse foods and compounds into simple structures for absorption and utilization purposes. It allows for biological and biochemical transmutation of elements and complexes into more usable or storable compounds or substances.
ELIMINATIVE SYSTEMS
STRUCTURES — Colon, lymphatic system, urinary system, immune system and the integumentary system (skin).
FUNCTIONS — The elimination of wastes and by-products from metabolism and digestion. Elimination of pathogens and mucus from the lymphatic system. Excess water elimination.
The eliminative system encompasses several other systems, which are complete systems within themselves. They are the intestinal system, lymphatic system, urinary system, integumentary system and immune system.
Intestinal System (Colon)
STRUCTURES — There are five sections to the colon. The first section, which is valved and connected to the jejenum (small bowel), is called the cecum. Then there is the ascending portion, which trails upward against gravity toward the right lower lung and liver area. The transverse portion travels across your abdomen toward the left side. Next it curves downward, becoming the descending portion. It then curves again, and becomes the sigmoid portion. Finally, it curves one last time, ending with the rectal portion. The average human colon is five to six feet long.
FUNCTIONS — Wastes and by-products from digestion are eliminated through the large intestine (called the colon). The lymph system also eliminates one-third or more of its wastes through the colon. Wastes from metabolism that enter the blood and lymph system are carried to the kidneys, skin, and colon, to then be eliminated. The colon is truly the “sewer system” and must be in a state of good health in order for the whole body to be in a good state of health.
Lymphatic System
STRUCTURES — Spleen, thymus, appendix, tonsils, lymph nodes, lymph vessels and lymph fluid.
FUNCTIONS — The lymphatic system is one of the most vital systems in the body. Its job includes removing cellular wastes, removing excessive fat-soluble compounds from the gastrointestinal tract, and serving as the “house” of the immune system. It creates white blood cells and antibodies, and is truly the battlefield of “the good vs. the bad,” where immune cells battle pathogens, including bacteria, yeasts, viruses and other unwanted intruders. The lymph system is also a carrier of nutrients to various parts of the body. It serves as both the police force and part of the body’s septic system. It becomes heavily congested with excessive mucus and lymph from dairy products and refined and complex sugars. This causes a type of congestion that most people are unaware of except when their sinus cavities or lung tissues let them know it.
Urinary System
STRUCTURES — Kidneys, bladder, ureters and urethra.
FUNCTIONS — The filtration and elimination of excess H2O, nutrients and metabolic wastes and by-products from the body is the job of the urinary system. It helps regulate the sodium/ potassium balance, and works with the acid-alkaline balance. Urine is about 95 percent waste and 5 percent dissolved substances.
Integumentary System
STRUCTURES — Skin, nails, hair, oil and sweat glands.
FUNCTIONS — This system provides protective and outer covering for the physical body. The skin is the body’s largest eliminative organ and aids in the elimination of wastes and by-products from metabolism. The integumentary system maintains body temperature.
Immune System
STRUCTURES — Lymphatic system, which includes the thymus and spleen, bone marrow, immune cells (lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils, macrophages, T-lymphocytes, B-cells, helper T and B cells, etc.), the liver and parasites (toxin eaters).
FUNCTIONS — To protect the body from pathogens (foreign enemies), antigens (foreign proteins), parasites and the like, that could harm or destroy it. The immune system is truly the police force of the body.
GLANDULAR SYSTEM (ENDOCRINE)
STRUCTURES — The pituitary gland, pineal gland, thyroid and parathyroid glands, thymus, adrenal glands, pancreas (including the islets of Langerhans), glands within the intestinal mucosa, ovaries and testes.
FUNCTIONS—The regulation of all the activities of the body from breathing, nerve response, and temperature changes, to elimination. This is all accomplished through hormones, neurotransmitters, steroids, and the like. The glandular system is tied into our emotional and mental bodies as well.
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
STRUCTURES — Muscles, tendons and connective tissue.
FUNCTIONS — Movement, strength and skeletal support. Transportation of heat.
NERVOUS SYSTEM
STRUCTURES — The brain, spinal cord (Central Nervous System), the autonomic nervous system, sensory organs (eyes, ears, nose, olfactory nerves, etc.).
FUNCTIONS — The nervous system is truly the information highway of the body. It is divided into two main systems: the autonomic (ANS) nervous system, and the central nervous system (CNS). The autonomic system is further divided into two branches, the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
STRUCTURES — Testes, ovaries, sperm, ova, mammary glands, and prostate gland. The reproductive system works in conjunction with the glandular system.
FUNCTIONS—Reproduction via conception, the continuation and improvement (supposedly) of a species.
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
STRUCTURES — Lungs, trachea, bronchi, bronchial tubes, and alveoli.
FUNCTIONS — Ingestion of the body’s main source of energy—”oxygen.” Oxygen allows for oxidation to take place within the body. The respiratory system removes carbon dioxide; helps regulate the acid-base balance of the body; and brings hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, etc., into the body. These elements are life’s most basic foods.
SKELETAL SYSTEM
STRUCTURES — All the bones and cartilage that comprise the physical body. There are 206 bones in the human body: Head—twenty-nine bones. Upper extremities—sixty-four bones. Trunk—fifty-one bones. Lower extremities—sixty-two bones.
FUNCTIONS — The skeletal system gives form and structure to the physical body. It also allows for various movements of the limbs. Our bones are oftentimes a source of calcium when they shouldn’t be.

How the Body Works

How the Body Works

Any soul that has a physical body should understand the basics of the body’s operation. “Why do we eat and what happens to the food we eat?” is the question to ask. When we understand the answer, we will begin to appreciate the nature of health and disease.
Food consumption is vital—most life forms on this planet need to consume some sort of “food” to exist and maintain expression, and most people will die if they stop eating, although there have been a few exceptions to this rule. A handful of individuals have consumed only air, which consists of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen (these elements are the sugars, fats and proteins at higher frequencies). This scenario, however, is extremely rare and one must be very spiritually connected to achieve this. Personally, I have never met anyone who could do this, although I’ve met some extremely aware spiritual masters and teachers.
We eat for additional energy. We know that our cells are cities within themselves and are conscious entities; each cell knows its specific duties. We know that spirit—the life force, consciousness, or whatever you wish to call it—is the inner force that holds and molds life into forms and gives it awareness. Nevertheless, cells need an external source of energy to sustain themselves in activity.
Most people chew and swallow their food without thought of how or why it is utilized within the body. We assume that if it’s edible, it’s useable by the body. This just simply isn’t so. This chapter will explore the ways that the body breaks down and uses the foods we eat, and how it eliminates the by-products of these foods.
Eating, digesting, absorbing, utilization, and elimination are ongoing and consistent processes. When one or more of these processes is impaired, the body as a whole begins to suffer. It may take many years for a major symptom to appear, but appear it will. There are always signs along the way, however, including fatigue, obesity, excessive thinness, bags under the eyes, rashes, constipation and/or diarrhea, to name just a few.

The Four Basic Processes 

DIGESTION
First, when we consume any food it must go through a “digestive” process, or a process whereby the body breaks down the structures of the food into building materials and fuels. The body requires these raw materials for energy to function and also to build and repair itself.
The breakdown of food is accomplished through enzyme action, which starts in the mouth, where carbohydrates, sugars and fats begin their alkaline digestion. The stomach also produces a digestive enzyme called pepsin; an acidic enzyme released by HCL (hydrochloric acid) for initial protein digestion. The rest of digestion takes place in the small bowel, which is alkaline in nature. When our foods are not properly broken down, either from a weak pancreas, stomach and intestinal tract, or from bad food combinations, one will experience gas formation from fermentation and/or putrefaction. The greater the gas problems, the greater the weakness and/or bad diet choices.
The body breaks down the foods you eat into the following: Proteins are broken down into amino acids for building and repair material. Carbohydrates (starches and complex sugars) are broken down into simple sugars for fuel. Fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol, for building, repair and emergency needs.
It is important to remember that we have alkaline digestive enzymes in the mouth for carbohydrate and fat digestion. We have acid (pepsin) digestive enzymes in the lower stomach for initial protein digestion. Then we have alkaline digestive enzymes in the pancreas and throughout the first part of the small intestinal tract to finish up the job for proteins, starches, sugars and fats. It is also important to understand that most of our processes are alkaline in nature.
Digestion is the first process that must take place in a healthy body and many people fail right here. If you are very thin or lack adequate muscle tissue, it is a strong probability that your body has not been digesting (breaking down) your foods adequately.
ABSORPTION
Once foods are broken down, we must now absorb these building materials, fuels and other components, which include: tissue salts, vitamins, tannins, alkaloids, flavins, and the like. These components are now carried by the bloodstream to the cells for energy, stimulation, building and repairing, or stored for future use. Absorption is accomplished through the villi (fingerlike projections on the surface of certain membranes) and small pores all along the mucous membranes of the small and large intestines. This absorption should be simple, but most people’s intestines become impacted with a thick rubber-like substance called “mucoid plaque.” This thick plaque, which develops in the GI tract, is made of gluten, mucus, foreign protein, and other food by-products that act more like glue than nutrition! Refined sugars, grains, meats, and dairy products are the foods that are most responsible for the formation of this plaque. This “mucoid plaque” blocks the nutritional components of our foods from being adequately absorbed into the body. (I have seen patients who have eliminated buckets of this “black” plaque from their intestines.)
Most of us fail in the second stage of food utilization to some extent because of this congestive mucoid plaque. Again, if you are thin, malnourished or lack adequate muscle tissue, a malabsorption issue must be considered.
UTILIZATION
We must get nutrition to and into our cells. The blood system and its highways (the vascular system) are the transport system. Most of the absorbed nutrition must first pass inspection by the liver, which can create further chemical changes, store nutrients, or pass them on unchanged to the rest of the body for utilization. The number of processes the liver can carry out is miraculous. It can create its own amino acids, change sugars to fats, and vice versa. It can create or destroy.
Now a little secret. This is where the importance of acid and alkaline comes in. If our body (including our blood) becomes more acidic, our nutrition becomes anionic (coagulating). In other words, our building materials (fats, fuels, minerals, and other compounds) start sticking or clumping together. Most of the foods commonly eaten by humans are acid forming. Acidity, which is heat-producing, causes inflammation in the walls of the vascular highway and throughout the body. Lipids (fats) begin sticking to the walls of the vessels in hopes of buffering this inflammation. But lipid bonding also causes lipid stones, such as gallbladder and liver stones. Cholesterol is the most common anti-inflammatory lipid that the body uses to fight this inflammation. When the tissues become acidic and thus inflamed, the liver will produce more cholesterol to fight it. But that means that blood cholesterol levels begin to elevate. Minerals too start bonding and form “rock-type” stones, which show up as kidney stones, bone spurs, and the like.
Cell membrane walls have tiny portholes that will not allow this “clumped” nutrition to be absorbed. When red blood cells start clumping together, blocking proper oxygen transport, or utilization, this creates cellular starvation, which causes hypo-active conditions of glands and organs, loss of systemic energy, loss of muscle tissue, and finally death.
Many glands supply hormones, steroids, and the like, to assist utilization. As these glands become hypo- or underactive as described above, the utilization of calcium and other constituents is affected, creating many disease symptoms. For example, one of the jobs of calcium is to help transport nutrients across cell membrane walls. When the thyroid gland becomes hypoactive this slows or stops calcium utilization, which has a domino effect, causing cellular starvation. This, of course, makes tissue even weaker and the cycle just gets worse and worse until death. Most people fail in the utilization of their nutrition to some degree.
ELIMINATION
What goes in must, for the most part, come out. If it comes out looking the same way it went in, that’s a problem. (You should not see undigested foods, except corn, in your stools.) When the elements in food are broken down into their simplest forms for utilization by the cells, there are many by-products from this process—including gases, acids, cellular wastes, undigested proteins, and unused material like vitamins and minerals —that need to leave the body.
The body is always trying to eliminate in ways that we often do not understand. An example would be cold and flu-like symptoms, where sneezing, coughing, sweating, aching, fevers, and diarrhea are experienced. These symptoms are elimination processes used by the body to purge itself of mucus, parasites, toxins, and the like.
If we do not eliminate our wastes, we build congestion interstitially (around cells) and intracellularly (inside cells), causing further cellular decay and death. Good elimination means moving our bowels three times a day, urinating adequately, sweating, and breathing properly. All of us fail in this category to some extent or another. By correcting digestion, absorption, utilization, and elimination we can regain our energy, build vitality and vibrancy, and live a disease-free life.

Understanding Our Species

Understanding Our Species

I am constantly being asked what my secrets are for regenerating and making the physical body vital again. There have been hundreds of books written about health and nutrition, most of which are variations on other people’s hypotheses or old ideas, which never seem to change. Some are plainly foolish. On the shelves of your local bookstore you will find books on blood types, mega-dosing with vitamins and minerals, high protein diets, and the like. Some of these programs are highly toxic to the body, in my experience, and actually kill many people each year.
I think health is much less complex than these books indicate. My approach is simply: Eat the foods that are biologically suited for your species. This might seem to be oversimplified or plain confusing, but let’s take a moment to explore and determine just what type of species we are.
Imagine yourself standing somewhere in the plains or jungles of Africa. Look out over a vast landscape and see elephants, giraffes, deer, hippos, silverback apes, chimpanzees, snakes, birds of all kinds, lions, cheetahs, and many other animals. Now if I ask you one simple question: “Which of these animals do we ‘homosapiens’ look like?” which one would you pick? The primates, of course. These are frugivores, as we are. Now some might say that this is far too simplistic a comparison on which to build our case. Okay then let’s kill (I would never) one animal from each species and bring them back to the lab. Let’s dissect each animal and look at its anatomy and physiology to determine which one we humans most resemble, internally.
The list that follows designates the four classes of vertebrates (carnivores, omnivores, herbivores and frugivores), highlighting the differences among them.

After dissecting and observing different species’ anatomical structures and physiological processes we come to the same conclusion: Humans are frugivores, like it or not.
The human is the only species that is confused about what to eat. As children we are instinctual in what we want to eat. I can fill a large table with every type of food that humans eat, and put a small child in front of the table. Guess which foods they will always go to? Fruits and flowers—the high energy, colorful foods. That is because we are frugivores, not omnivores. If a human were truly a carnivore, he or she would enjoy catching a live animal, ripping it apart, and eating it as it is … and I don’t know of too many people who enjoy this.
It is not difficult to understand that we need to start eating as our biological makeup demands. On top of this, we need to realize that no animal cooks its food before eating it. Zookeepers learned years ago never to feed cooked foods to any animal, as this will cause them to sicken and die. I don’t know of any veterinarian who encourages people to feed their house pets from the table. Why? Simple. Our pets will get the same diseases we have. Cooking your food destroys it. It changes the chemistry and severely reduces its electrical energy.
God intended food for life, not death. God is about life, energy, love and happiness. Of course, we can have the other too: depression, anger, hate and ego. It is always our choice. A healthy vital physical body can also make our emotional and mental bodies healthy. Health breeds awareness and joy for living, which most people have lost.
All of humankind is biologically the same. Our physiological processes and our anatomical makeup are virtually the same, whether we are from China, India or America. However, the consciousness (awareness), the activity level, and the parts of the body used all make a difference in the types of foods we generally eat or crave. Don’t make getting healthy complicated. Keep it simple. Foods can bind you to this world or set you free. If you have never experienced this, then start the journey now into a new world of vitality. Seek to be free from the chains of food addictions that undermine your health and create bondage to the lower aspects of God.
I invite you to become vital again and enjoy the rewards of life. Recondition your mind and retrain your emotions to enjoy the simplicity of eating raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Understand your species and eat the foods that will make your body healthy.

“The ancient Greeks, before the time of Lycurgus, ate nothing but fruit,” (Plutarch) and “each generation reached the age of 200 years.”

As you prepare to use the information presented in this book, here is an overview. This is what it takes to be successful. These ten principles or recommendations will help you tremendously in achieving success and the health and vitality you want from your detoxification and regeneration process. These points will be covered in depth as you continue to work with this book.
1. The diet is your number one key to success. What you eat, drink, breathe and what you put on your skin is how you bring the outside world in. Study and learn the concepts in this book about a raw food diet. The greater percentage of raw fruits and vegetables (salads) you eat, the greater your success will be. If you have cancer, a spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s or any other chronic or degenerative condition, you will want to consume a 100 percent raw, “live” food diet of fruits and vegetables (salads) only.
2. Invite the help of a healthcare professional who has experience in the use of raw foods and other natural detoxification procedures, like fasting. Especially with illnesses like cancer and other chronic, degenerative conditions, it is beneficial to have guidance and support throughout your healing process. Ultimately you are responsible for yourself, but there are many valuable resources to assist you in making this journey into vibrant health.
3. Find someone who is adept at “reading” the iris of the eye (a science known as iridology). This is one of nature’s greatest and, at present, only types of soft tissue analysis. It will give you a road map of your strengths and weaknesses. It will also indicate your congestive (lymphatic) and chemical accumulations. This is invaluable in helping you to address your glandular or organ weaknesses. For this I recommend an herbal (formula) program. Use herbs to address your cellular weaknesses and to move and clean your lymphatic system, GI tract, and lungs. (See Resource Guide for herbal companies that supply such formulas.)
Almost 100 percent of homo sapiens have glandular weaknesses. Begin this process by taking the “What Is Your Body Telling You” Self-Assessment Questionnaire found in Chapter 5 to determine yours.
Use the Basal Temperature Study Test (found in Appendix A) for thyroid function to determine your level of thyroid function. This is extremely important when considering calcium utilization and metabolism.
If you have high or especially low blood pressure, you know you have adrenal gland weakness. Again, check your Self-Assessment Questionnaire to determine other side effects of adrenal gland weaknesses.
4. Always “move” your lymph system. Everyone has a stagnant lymph system to one degree or another. All your cells need to eat and excrete, and your lymph system is your sewer system. Your lymph nodes are your septic tanks. Keep them cleaned out! Use an herbal formula for your kidneys and eat lots of fruits. Clean and enhance your GI tract with raw foods and a restorative intestinal herbal formula. Avoid laxatives or purgatives, acidophilus, bifidophilus, or any other intestinal flora. Your intestinal flora will restore itself. Exercise (like walking or swimming) is extremely important in moving your lymph system, especially in your lower extremities.
Let yourself sweat! Your skin is your largest eliminative organ. Keep it clean and stimulated with skin brushing, regular as well as hot-and-cold showers, and by sweating.
5. You will want to spend a month on an herbal parasite formula (see Resource Guide at the back of this book to find excellent herbal companies that carry these). This will help get rid of the larger worms, flukes, etc. It will also help reduce your microorganisms (candida, bacterias, etc.) that affect your desire for foods.
6. Clean your liver and enhance your pancreas for about a month or so before starting on your detoxification program. See Chapter 8 for suggestions about supporting and cleansing these organs with herbs and herbal formulas. If you have diabetes or you’re excessively thin you will probably need three months or so.
7. If you’re on chemical medications, don’t worry. There are very few possible interactions with this program and these herbal formulas. If you’re on high blood pressure medication, simply watch your blood pressure. This program can bring down your blood pressure fast. Use common sense. If your blood pressure is low, lowering it further with chemical meds might not be too smart. If your blood pressure is low, you must work to get it normalized by enhancing and regenerating your adrenal glands. Diabetes (Type II) is very easy to overcome in most cases. If you’re on insulin, watch your blood sugars. The same principle applies as with high blood pressure.

SCIENTIFIC FACTS
Most chemicals weaken and destroy cells. Chemotherapy causes high acidosis and destroys cells causing future cancer or the spreading (metastasis) of cancer.
Radiation inflames, burns and destroys cells (tissues), and can cause cancer to metastasize.

9. As you detoxify and regenerate, your body will go through symptoms of a “healing crisis.” This is normal, natural and positive. As you understand about the healing crisis you’ll understand what “diseases” truly are. See Chapter 5. Remember, disease symptoms manifest from two sources—congestion and cellular weakness.
10. Finally: Attitude, attitude, attitude! Enjoy what you’re doing. Always remember why you’re getting your body (or physical vehicle) healthy. Your body is your mobility in this physical world. Many of your weaknesses are genetically passed to you. Your toxicity may have developed in utero, so give it time to be released. Vibrant health in this world does not occur overnight. Sometimes it’s hard work—but well worth it. It connects you with life, love and God.
May the blessings be! 

A Person Journey - To live healthier without toxins

A Person Journey
I was raised in a small town in Indiana. The typical diet in this part of the country consisted of lots of dairy products, refined sugars, grains and, of course, meat three times a day. Dairy products and refined sugars are very mucus forming, consequently I became addicted to nose drops, as my sinus cavities were always blocked. I also developed severe constipation, which led to bleeding hemorrhoids. Along with all this came migraine headaches, about every three days. When I was taken to one specialist after another, the stories I would hear, hypothesizing over the cause of these severe headaches, after a while became a joke. Obesity was another side effect of this type of diet. If I were not connected consciously to God in these early years, depression would have overcome my life. My love for God and life has always dominated my life, giving me an inward joy.
In the late 1960s I became a raw-food eater. I was reading books by Ehret, Jensen, Hotema, Mc-Faddin, Tilden (see Bibliography), and a dozen other great healers, about the common sense concepts of not destroying the foods you eat before you eat them. I read about breatharianism and the ability to live off of oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, etc. Since all elements are made up of these higher atoms in the first place, it made sense to me that if our consciousness was in the right place we could survive at this level. Souls that survive at this level are known as “God eaters.” Since I wanted to know God more than anything else, this fit perfectly for me. I decided I would live in remote areas and attempt this level of consciousness. Becoming a hermit, I started the process of eliminating the heavy or low-vibrational foods, including meats and grains. I also wanted to stop eating vegetables, which left me with a diet of only fruits and nuts. Finally, I decided to get away from all acid-forming foods as well, so I stopped eating the nuts. With those choices I had become what is called a “fruitarian.” I lived exclusively on fresh, raw fruits.

Nature’s Way
Natural (nature’s) health is not alternative medicine. Natural health is traditional medicine.
Nature’s way is hundreds of thousands of years old. Chemical medicine is only 125 years old.
Since the advent of chemical medicine, disease has skyrocketed.
Medicine should only consist of natural remedies that alkalize, clean and regenerate the body.

My goal was still to attempt to live on pure air only. I had read about a Catholic nun who lived high in the mountains of Tibet and only ate snow, and about several others who had reportedly obtained this same refined level of survival. To move in this direction, my next step was to limit my fruit eating to one type only. According to my plan, after several months on one type of fruit I could then stop all intake of food as we know it and I would have obtained my goal. Of course this was a very radical approach to experiencing God, but I had set my mind on it and had strong self-discipline. I read a lot of Professor Hotema’s work on the power of organic oranges as a complete food so I decided that these would be my only food.
I was a fruitarian for approximately four years, out of which I lived six months exclusively on oranges. I had discovered a special organic orange garden created by a person I considered to be a very high soul. Nature must have been looking out for me during those times because this orange garden had a bumper crop, and the grower was able to supply me with navel oranges for the entire year.
During this period as a fruitarian I began to experience the truth of Arnold Ehret’s work about the tremendous rejuvenational powers of the body. I could cut myself and feel no pain. There was no bleeding, and the wound would be healed in the next day or two. Remember that my goal was to stop eating the oranges and live exclusively on air! But the problem was that my energy levels became so high that I couldn’t stay in my body. I was traveling “out of body” into some of the most magnificent worlds of God that exist beyond the normal human experience. I felt like I merged with God, leaving “me” behind. I became unlimited. I had no point of reference, as I wanted or desired nothing. I was totally fulfilled. My love for God and all life intensified beyond words. The difficulty was that I was young, physically, and I was immature with this level of God realization. As I could not communicate in this world anymore, especially with humans, I decided, for survival’s sake, that I needed to “ground” myself and go on to teach others about the tremendous healing power of raw foods and the unlimited awareness that we each possess. So, after several years of living in remote areas I moved back to “civilization.” I knew then that I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others rejuvenate themselves and to teaching the beauty of God to a world that starves for both.
Since that point I have opened several health food stores and become degreed as a biochemist, naturopath, master herbalist and iridologist. I have been teaching about God and vitality ever since, and traveling throughout the world sharing with others the magic and secrets of health. I had a small clinic in Portugal for a number of years and I represented the United States several times in worldwide symposiums.
Twenty-five years ago I opened a health clinic that I still manage. Based on my experiences I can tell you that there are no incurable diseases, only incurable people. I have also spent many years working in emergency medicine, which used to be one of my hobbies, and I have seen both allopathic medicine and traditional (herbal) medicine in action. While emergency medicine is fantastic, allopathic medicine, in general, kills hundreds of thousands of people per year, while traditional medicine (or botanical medicine) saves hundreds of thousands of lives per year. I invite you to join me in learning and using God’s natural laws to heal and rejuvenate yourself.
My work has been both inspired and supported by the work of Dr. Bernard Jensen, a world-renowned healer and author of many outstanding books (see Bibliography). Years ago, Dr. Jensen consulted me about his wife’s health and we became instant friends. We immediately recognized a spiritual bond, as we shared a similar passion for and commitment to a mission of love and healing. The Detox Miracle Sourcebook reflects our experiences and viewpoints on true healing.
Always seek truth. Open your heart totally to God. If you desire anything, desire God. All else will come to you. Always be and give love. Become alive again (in all your bodies) physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Introduction of - To live healthier without toxins by Robert Morse

Introduction

Welcome to a fantastic journey into vitality. Health is one of our greatest assets, and many refer to the body as a temple, or a vehicle that carries around the true Self while we’re on this planet. However, we often treat our cars better than we treat our bodies.
The information contained in this book was not taken from double-blind studies, from misconstrued facts and figures of treatment agencies, or from “bought-and-paid-for” scientific research. I wrote this book based on thirty years of self-experience, and from clinical observation of thousands of patients who used my programs to overcome their toxic conditions and diseases.
Basically, we have two choices to make when we develop a condition or disease: Treatment or Detoxification. If we choose treatment, we have two additional choices. The first choice is allopathic (pharmaceutical) medicine, which is the status-quo medical or chemical approach. The second choice is natural (traditional) medicine, which uses products made from natural sources or herbs to treat the symptoms. If we choose the allopathic approach to “fight” our disease, it is important to understand that allopathic medicine offers only three types of treatment for any condition: chemical medicines, radiation or surgery.
Pharmaceutical companies spend a lot of money developing drugs and training medical (allopathic) doctors in how to use these chemical medicines in the presence of disease. But, “curing” the disease (in the sense of removing its cause, not just its symptoms) is not a part of this type of thinking. Diseases are incurable in the allopathic approach—which is a totally a “treatment”-based modality. Chemical medicines are used for everything from simple headaches and fevers to degenerative conditions, like Parkinson’s disease or cancer.
The second form of treatment in allopathic medical procedures is some type of burning or radiation. This is used in most diagnostic procedures (X-rays, for example) and some treatment procedures, especially but not limited to cancer.
The third procedure that the allopathic medical profession can use to treat a problem or condition is surgery. Surgery is simply the removal of “bad” tissue that is causing the problem. If the disease is cancer of the breast, simply remove the breast and the patient is “cured.”
Natural medicine, or what I will refer to as “traditional medicine,” differs from the allopathic approach. Natural medicine simply treats disease with natural products (those made from animal, plant or mineral substances) or herbs, which are found in nature. The science of natural medicine has been around for hundreds of thousands of years, at one level or another.
Most of the substances used in natural medicine have no damaging side effects, while most chemical medicines have some degree of harmful side effects. However, it is fair to say that some natural products used without proper wisdom can still create harm. Supplementing calcium in the presence of a parathyroid weakness, for example, results in stone formation or excessive free calcium. In general, the diagnostic procedures used in natural medicine including iridology, kinesiology, pulsing, hair or tissue analysis, and many others are non-invasive and not harmful to the patient whatsoever.
Most health care systems today, including allopathic, naturopathic and homeopathic medicine, are treatment-based modalities. Treating symptoms never cures the “causes.” Until a genuine cure has been effected, we will always be suffering in some form. The alternative to treatment is True Naturopathy (detoxification) a little known science of nature that has been used for hundreds of years, by hundreds of thousands of people and animals worldwide. It has restored health and vitality to their physical, emotional and mental bodies. Detoxification encompasses the sciences of chemistry, biochemistry, botanical science and physics, and has always been at the heart of true healing. For that reason, detoxification should be at the heart of natural medicine today, but has been forgotten in our modern world of “treatment.”
Detoxification is not a system of treatment or a way to remove symptoms; it is a system of curing by addressing the cause of the disease. It involves the understanding that the body is the healer, and that energy is at the core of healing. It also sheds light on the true cause of disease— the destruction of energy. Energy or the destruction of energy results from what we eat, drink, breathe, put on our skin, and from what we think and feel. These are the six ways we either make ourselves healthy and vital, or sick and weak.
Naturopathy is the purest form of healing. Its procedures and diagnostic tools are all totally non-invasive, and at its core are alkalization and detoxification, which will be explained in great depth throughout this book. The Detox Miracle Sourcebook is about this second option, true healing through detoxification and its related sciences. However, the approach taken here never puts science above the power of God and nature, as science is only the study of what already is.
My success with true detoxification in chronic and degenerative issues has been recognized worldwide. Out of 100 people who come to us with various types of cancer, approximately 70 percent cure themselves, 20 percent can’t do the program and 10 percent are too advanced or don’t want to live. Our success with regeneration in spinal cord injuries is also phenomenal: a thirty-two-year-old female, who had severed her upper cervical spine (a C3-C4 spinal cord severation) twelve years previously, came to our clinic. In eleven months she had complete feeling and movement throughout her body. A young Amish man who had a tractor accident, which left him a quadriplegic at the C4-C5 level, in six months had total feeling in his toes.
One of the hardest parts of this program is working with the mind. Like a computer, you get out what you put in. This book will supply you with the most up-to-date and thorough information you need to feed your mind and thus educate yourself about the miraculous healing system of your body. It will cover some physiology, chemistry, physics and nutrition all in a way that you can understand and immediately use. It will also encourage you to “change your mind” from one of toxic thinking to one of natural and pure thinking.
Most people live to eat; I would like you to start thinking about eating to live, and this book will show you how to do that. What you eat has a direct effect upon your health, and I have proven this year-in and year-out on hundreds of clients. I have seen cancer, time and time again, cleaned out by the body. Also, diabetes, coronary artery disease and arthritis all eliminated. I have seen spinal cord injuries reconnect and nerve damage from strokes, multiple sclerosis and the like, heal.
There is no magic or mystery to health or disease. Disease is a natural process! When we understand how the body works, and what causes the tissues in the body to fail, we will then understand what causes disease symptoms, and how to reverse it.
This book will take you on a journey with many important stops along the way. You will learn about the species your physical body comes from; how your body works; the nature of disease. And finally, what health is. One of the premises of this book is that health is really very simple, yet we spend a large part of our time and money trying to achieve it. The Detox Miracle Sourcebook will help you to understand your species, and encourage you toward eating in harmony with your anatomical, physiological and biochemical processes. This will give you vitality and a disease-free life.
Allow yourself the time and discipline to become alive again through detoxification! Put your heart, self-discipline and soul into it. Detoxification will be one of the greatest things you do for yourself in your lifetime.
NOTE: As this book was written for the healthcare practitioner and lay person alike, some chapters are more scientifically based than others. For myself, I say: “Keep it simple!” Pass over those chapters that might confuse you at first. Come back later and read them to better understand your body and how it works. Your body is a very complex machine, but keeping it healthy is very simple.
