Different ways to get Sunlight exposure and their Effects

By Andreas Moritz 

Hi, this is a very good question from John and it’s related to sunlight, vitamin D, and UV-A, which are mentioned in my book as very important factors in the maintenance of good health. And his question relates to whether lying down on one’s stomach in a room, and allowing the sun to shine through the open window, whether the closing of the eyes diminishes the positive effects of UV radiation in order to produce vitamin D. Because I do mention in my book “Heal Yourself With Sunlight” that wearing sunshades, sunglasses, will prevent the positive effects of UV-B radiation in stimulating the secretion of vitamin D in our body.

Vitamin D is essential to maintain a strong good immune system and proper digestive functions and cardiovascular functions amongst other positive benefits.

So when a person is wearing sunshades, there is a hormone in the brain that regulates the secretion of melanin in the cells, and that becomes suppressed when we wear sunshades because the body thinks that it is getting darker outside and will therefore diminish the production of these hormones, that basically shuts down the melanin production and therefore the protection against ultraviolet radiation that can then cause burning in deeper layers of the skin, which in turn can cause damage to the skin, not necessarily skin cancer, because that is an entirely different subject which is largely caused by carcinogens such as sunscreen lotion, or foods that are carcinogenic, or have effects of toxicity inside the skin, which is more an internal process of contamination and build-up of toxins rather than something external such as exposure of the skin to the sun.

Now the going back to the original question, which I find is an excellent question. The reason why we have problems with blocking the protective effects of melanin – that particular substance prevents the skin from burning – when we wear sunshades, that effect is diminished, or closing the eyes and sort of looking down like having the eyes facing the pillow, so that there is no natural light coming in, the body will begin will produce less melanin that protects the skin against burning.

So I would encourage you to keep your eyes either open, or the eyelids themselves even if they are closed will still let the body know that there is sunshine, but I wouldn’t put anything on the eyes or over the eyes, so that the body notices that it is actually sunlight, daylight, and it’s not getting dark.

The question is so good because it really shows the mechanism that takes place here that when we are wearing something over the eyes, then the body is more prone to sunburn, and you can easily see that by let’s say, being in the sun and putting sunshades over the eyes or falling asleep.

When you fall asleep, the eyes turn upward or sideways in some cases which doesn’t allow the body to notice that it is actually light outside, and in that case you find that you are burning much, much faster. Many people will fall asleep while sunbathing, they find themselves… when they wake up… their skin has actually been burned, sometimes seriously, and this can cause many, many problems. Whereas if they were awake and they looked around they saw natural sunlight, the eyes were focused towards the world around them instead of inward then the problem with the sunburn would be greatly diminished, and they wouldn’t have the same burning effect, and so that’s why it’s good to keep your eyes open or at least when you close them, don’t put anything over the eyes in order to protect the skin against severe sunburns.

So I hope that answers your question, and there is something to be said about not wearing sunshades or sunscreens or putting sunscreens or lotions on the skin except something like natural coconut oil, which is very protective of the skin.

The other part of the question related to allowing sunlight to come through windows which nowadays have UV reflecting effects, that means UV-B rays that are stimulating the production of vitamin D in the body are reflected or filtered out or blocked out, and this can lead to an actual deficiency of vitamin D in the body.

So driving around in a car all day and having the sun shining on your face or your arms can create a vitamin D deficiency that most people are not aware of.

The reason for that is because UV-B is the principal UV part of the sun that is stimulating the production of vitamin D, while UV-A rays are actually allowed to go through the glass and enter the body and when UV-A enters the body without the UV-B at the same time, then UV-A penetrates much deeper than it normally would. UV-B is responsible for actually removing vitamin D from the body, it’s that part that normally regulates the balance secretion or production of vitamin D in the body, if the person is in the sun for eight hours it could lead to an overproduction of vitamin D, but this doesn’t happen in the presence of UV-A coming into the skin as well, which then removes any excess amounts of vitamin D so you will never ever be overdosed however long you are in the sun. In that respect it’s very important to not be too close to a window when the sun is shining, let’s say sitting inside the house and then the sun shines through the glass unless of course, you have a glass that doesn’t reflect the UV-B part of the sunlight so this is a very important information.

Also if you are getting a good suntan, natural suntan, and you are therefore producing a lot of vitamin D, it’s important to not right away shower after sun exposure, because the Vitamin D is sitting on the surface of the skin, it needs to be absorbed, otherwise we are just washing it off right away, particularly using soaps will get rid of the vitamin D that you have produced, and you will also develop a vitamin D deficiency in spite of having exposed your skin to the sun, even if it has been done for several hours, you still, you will not be able to absorb enough of the vitamin D to make a difference.

So sunlight can definitely create a lot of healing, but it has to be done properly in a balanced fashion.

When you feel burning of the skin make sure you get out of the sun. It shouldn’t redden, slightly pink if fine, that’s the time when you should move into the shade, you still get UV exposure, not as strong of course when you are directly in the sun, but even just being in the shade and being in open daylight, sunlight ,and you will still get vitamin D production in the body.

And so sunlight is our best friend, it’s not an enemy.

The studies that have been done on sun exposure and there are more and more coming out, showing that regular sun exposure is far, far more important and safe than even having the sun burn the skin, you will not increase the risk of skin cancer, the population has been told now for several decades and there is still no scientific evidence that sunlight can cause skin cancer.

If you want to know more about this piece refer to my book “Heal Yourself With Sunlight” which contains all the details and the scientific data that shows that sunlight cannot cause skin cancer.

Skin cancer typically occurs in areas of the body that are hardly ever exposed to the sun like under the arms or under the thighs, in hidden area and not in the typically exposed areas of the skin. So there is a lot of misinformation going around. There are other things that cause skin cancers but the sun is not one of them.

Thank you for listening and I hope you have a beautiful sun-filled day today.

Benefits of Using Ionized Stones

By Andreas Moritz 

Hi, this is Andreas Moritz, and today I would like to discuss the implications of using an ionized stone such as this one, and these ionized stones they are created by myself. Every ionized stone is handled, selected, and handled by myself and they are shipped throughout the world through my website – ‘Ener-chi.com

And these ionized stones have particular benefits that help with a number of issues, a person who wants to enhance the healing abilities, I recommend that they put one of these ionized stones right at the middle part of the spinal column. When you bend down and you find that one of the vertebrates is sticking out more than the other, I would put that ionized stone and allow it to touch that particular vertebra or two or three vertebra in that area, and when you do that, within about 40 seconds or so, it will balance all the chakras or energy centers in the body, and that will help with energizing the organs and systems in the body and will allow the energy – the chi or life force – to flow through the body more easily.

In addition to that, I recommend to attach one of these ionized stones to the electrical box or fuse box as it’s called in Europe. Use any stone that is more flat and that somehow neatly fits into that, tape it to the electric box. It doesn’t have to be in a certain area, just around that or external to the electrical box. This will prevent the harmful radiation of the electromagnetic filed in the electric system in the house in the home or office to affect the human body and diminish our own electromagnetic field.

So I found that this has helped me for the last 12 years or so ever since I came across or created these ionized stones. I have always had one stone attached to the electrical box to any or every home that I have lived in, and this allowed me to work on the computer, and I have worked many hours on the computer without ever getting tired doing so. And any kind of electric appliance or being close to an electric lamp, which can interfere with our body’s electromagnetic field, that this no longer happens when you have attached one of those stones to the electric box.

If you don’t have access to such a box you may attach one of the stones to the electric cable that supplies an electric appliance or computer or an electric lamp. Doesn’t have to be a very big stone, it can be like smaller than an inch, even this one is about two inches, so it doesn’t matter… the size… it will work. You can also put one of those in front of the computer, the computer screen, or lay it on top of the computer box wherever there is an electric device that would be suitable, but the best and most effective way would be to attach a stone to the electrical box.

Also you can ionize or activate or energize the plates that you eat in, if they are ceramic or any other natural material. You can ionize, activate, all natural material. Plastic wouldn’t work. So it could be wood, stone, ceramic, glasses that you drink from. When you allow a glass to be held against one of those ionized stones for about 40 seconds, then that glass, whenever you put water in, it will energize the water and make it beneficial for you. It will make the blood thinner more quickly and allow the food to be absorbed more readily, or beverages to be absorbed more readily.

If you are you are into detoxifying the body through using foot baths, I would put an ionized stone into the foot bath, and it will draw toxins out more quickly. It would enhance basically any healing therapy, whatever you choose to use. Some of the stones can be used for massage therapy and that will also benefit.

Many people report back to me by putting an ionized stone on a part of the body that suffers from a illness, like a person who has kidney stones or heart problems or liver problems… just putting the ionized stone over the area, ideally allowing the stone to touch the skin, then some people have reported the stone actually becomes black and dark. This doesn’t mean that the stone becomes destroyed, just that it draws the toxins out and discolors it and sometimes the color reverts back to normal.

You can never, ever, destroy an ionized stone once it has been ionized or activated, then that charge can never be reduced or diminished in any way unless you turn the stone into powder.

The stones can also be used in conjunction with the ener-chi art that I have created about 12 years ago. These are Ener-chi Art Paintings, paintings made in oil. You can find them on my website ‘Ener-chi.com’ and you can view them there, and these are stones… when you hold the stone to a particular area of the body for which there is a particular ener-chi art painting such as for the heart, so holding the stone to the heart while you are looking or viewing the ener-chi art picture for the heart then this will enhance the benefit of the ener-chi art painting.

You can also use the stones for enhancing the growth of plants. Any plant that has, like, an ionized stone close to it, ideally just put a small stone or couple of stones into the pot of the plant, and it will start growing more easily, more beautifully, and its more healthy, requires less water, so there are quite a few benefits for the plants as well.

You can also attach one of those stones to the water pipe that comes into the house and that will also activate and energize the water that you drink.

There are many other benefits that people have reported back to me. There are literally hundreds of applications. So be creative, just think of what else it can help with, and there are some more benefits explained on my website on the ionized stone page.

Ionized stones, maybe ionized, the word ionized may not be the right word. Ionization in physics means that there will be an extra electron charge, which has got ions created, which then creates a temporary unstable condition, which allows that particular atom to react with other atoms. So in this case I am not sure if this can be measured. The word ionization here relates to a higher energy where the stone is actually coming to life. Where the stone becomes conscious. Typically we refer to stones or rocks as being inert, that they don’t have any life or life force in them, but by ionizing them or activating them, through a simple process that was gifted to me after I created the ener-chi art paintings, where one of the paintings for the skeleton system was used to infuse the stones or the regular river stones or stones from the earth where these particular light rays that were contained in the painting, the skeleton system painting, and these energy rays went into the stones and created, basically brought them to life. If you hold one of those stones in the palm of your hands, you find… many people find… that there is a heartbeat to it that can actually be felt, that there is a vibration to the stone. So that it’s actually alive

So these ionized stones have become very useful for me, for a lot of other people, and once you have one, you can ionize any number of stones yourself. What you do is you simply hold one of these stones or the stone that you have received, and hold them together basically together like this for about 40 seconds, and that will allow the original stone to ionize the new stone that you may have. You can also put the original stone that you get from my website and ionize dozens of other stones as long as they touch one another, you can create any number of stones yourself.

When I travel, I usually take one of those stones with me and if I come across any rock formation, boulders, or anywhere in nature, I put them there for about 40 seconds and it will ionize these rocks and activate them, bring these rocks and boulders to life, which makes you feel quite good because they radiate back to you, it’s almost like they speak to you.

It’s not something I can prove. I usually am a very down-to-earth person. This is not something I came across, this was channeled to me, and I just followed directions and created this, and it’s basically a gift that I received and I am happy to pass it on.

Thank you.

Risks and Benefits of a Raw Food Diet

By Andreas Moritz 

Hi, this is a question that I am getting a lot. It’s related to raw food diets.

I have previously, in my book “Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation”, spoken out against a raw food diet for everyone. There are some exceptions where a raw food diet, or mostly raw food diet, is actually pretty good and to say basically that a raw food diet should be eaten by everyone, I am very, very careful saying that because some people can absolutely not digest a lot of raw food, otherwise they develop constipation, or they develop dry skin, severe gastrointestinal bloating, gas and irritable bowel syndrome. So one has to be very careful about who we suggest to go on a raw food diet.

The basic idea is that when you eat foods that are raw, you will get a lot of enzymes and vitamins that are not destroyed through the cooking process and therefore you would benefit far more from eating raw foods, than you would eat from eating cooked foods.

But the equation is not quite as clear as it looks like. Eating raw food, more nutrients, it can mean the exact opposite. For example, raw foods are requiring a lot more breaking down of fiber that may be broken down through the cooking process, but if you have too much of undigested fiber coming through the system and ending up in your large intestine, much of it may be fermented by bacteria that reside there and when they are broken down, this can produce a lot of gas, methane gas and other toxic gases that can be absorbed into the blood and enter the brain, and it can cause brain fog and many other undesirable side effects.

The other problem is that bacteria that decompose those fibrous masses can produce a lot of toxins and these toxins can irritate the gastrointestinal lining and create more problems than you can benefit from by eating those kinds of foods.

The other thing is that cellulose, which is the principle fibrous component that is comprising the cell membranes, the cell wall of vegetables and other grain foods that are raw, in raw form when you cook these foods, this fibrous compound, the cellulose, starts softening up and releases some of the nutrients that are in the cellulose that are embedded there. So you may actually have more access to the nutrients in cooked food than you would have in raw food because it is virtually impossible for the human body to crush these very, very sturdy membranes or cell membranes that are composed of cellulose and therefore the nutrients may, in fact, be trapped inside the cells, because the cell walls cannot be broken down. So as a result you may actually develop a nutritional deficiency if you are purely on a raw food diet, particularly if the raw foods include foods that are very hard to sort of break down, that are easily broken down through heat, but cannot be broken down through mastication.

And if you then say “well, let’s juice these foods, they are just… let’s take them through a juicer and drink the juice…” The problem with that approach is that there are certain substances in the fiber that is actually slowing down the digestive process which in this case, is very good, because if the food passes through the gastrointestinal tract too fast because there is no fiber to slow it down, then the nutrients will not be absorbed properly, they will just rush right down into your large intestine, so that’s one setback with eating too much raw food or drinking the juices.

The other thing is that when you juice your food instead of eating it whole, then you are most likely going to drink the juices rather than keeping it in the mouth and swishing it around for about 20 – 30 times in order to combine it with salivary enzymes. Now, we need salivary enzymes to predigest the carbohydrates contained in these foods, these juices, and if that is not combined with the juices, then these foods may not be digested at all. Instead there will be other bacteria that are known to ferment food such as candida bacteria coming in large quantities and try to digest them, so to get rid of also some of the toxic elements that may be included in raw food.

When people say raw foods cannot be toxic, but that is not entirely true, in fact they can be very toxic, for example eat a potato in raw form, you can be poisoned by it, if you eat beans in large quantities, you can also get poisoned, you can actually die from that. So raw food is not necessarily safe in that form, that’s why countries like India and China and many South American countries have traditionally prepared their food to a point that it loses, almost strips the food of almost all the nutrients, and like when Peruvians used to treat potatoes, they would put them out in the sun, they crushed them, they put them in a solution that would draw acids out of the potatoes, then turn it into a fine powder exposing it to the sun again, adding perhaps some substances, minerals, that would help to reduce the toxicity to actually make the potatoes useful for them, but it would have been a potato that will have very little nutrients left, still the Peruvians were known to be extremely healthy.

So it’s not always related to the nutrients, but also to having foods that are less toxic, because when lot of the antibodies in plants remain in the plants when you eat them, then your body’s immune system may react very strongly against them, seeing them as antigens, and once you have an immune response, it can cause inflammation in the intestine or elsewhere in the body, typically know as an allergic reaction.

So the importance here is to understand that plants contain poisons, these are antibodies, everybody has an immune system and immune system has many different ways of defending the plant from being eaten by predators, or insects, from being damaged, and having these repair and protective mechanisms in place allows the plant to survive, and to thrive, and to spread their species. So these are plant antibodies or enzyme inhibitors or other kinds of toxic substances are ingested by us if we eat raw foods, raw vegetables, in larger quantities, if it’s in smaller quantities there is no problem.

If the vegetables are soft, if they are like lettuce, or avocado, cucumber, and things like that have lesser fibrous compounds in them, that are very juicy and soft, these are fine to eat in raw form as a salad, ideally eaten before lunch meal and that will allow these foods to be digested properly before you eat the cooked food, so always eat the salad first, before the cooked food, because that will prepare the digestive system, and allow the enzymes to be produced, for raw food that may be necessary to take advantage of the nutrients in these softer vegetables.

Harder vegetables should be cooked, not overly cooked. There should still be resistance when you put your fork in it, so that the nutrients are preserved. I personally use waterless cookware, which you can find now everywhere. Do a search on Google, ‘waterless cookware’, you will find many cookware brands out there that help you cook your food in a way that the nutrients, the enzymes, the vitamins, are preserved and not destroyed through high heat procedures like cooking, baking, frying and so on.

The advantage for a so-called Pitta body type eating more raw food in their diet is that raw food has a cooling effect, which for this body type who tends to be hot, tends to have a reddish skin, reddish hair or red hair, tends to have blue eyes, very sensitive to heat, so they need to be in a cooler environment, and also have more cooling foods. So their portion of eating raw foods should be higher than a person that Ayurveda calls the Kapha type or the Vata type, which are the cool types, they both have cool surface temperature of the skin and the Pitta type has hot surface temperature of the skin. The Pitta body type also has the most bile available to digest food and that is very useful for digesting raw foods. The Vata body type and Kapha body types have the least amount of bile and therefore they should not overly indulge in raw foods but choose more of the cooked food variety and there is more information about all that in my book “Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation” where you can see a detailed comparison between raw food diets and cooked food diets and I personally eat a mixed diet.

I do eat raw food, perhaps sometimes I eat like… cucumber and avocado, and some olives with some lemon juice and olive oil in the morning, with some rice cakes or some bread and butter on it, and that makes me happy, or oatmeal which is cooked, or at lunch time I always start with a salad, a mixed salad, and then have my cooked vegetables and some grain foods, and perhaps some lentils and beans or nuts and seeds with my lunch, and in the evening I eat vegetable soup with a little piece of bread with it, and that’s cooked obviously as well.

So having said that, I hope this information will shed a little light on why raw food diets are not good for every person, good for some, not for everyone, and that if you do feel great with a raw food diet go for it, if you don’t, be careful, the signs that you are not digesting raw food is typically bloating, gas, discomfort, feeling sluggish, losing energy and having brain fog, getting headaches, and things like that.

So I hope this will clarify the issue.

Thank you.

MMS – Miracle Mineral Solution – It Has Incredible Benefits

By Andreas Moritz 

Hi, this is Andreas Moritz and today I would like to discuss the product MMS or Miracle Mineral Solution. It used to be called Miracle Mineral Supplement but the FDA, Federal Drug Administration, thought that this product could do harm to people even though there has never been any evidence to that effect.

On the contrary, this product has had overwhelming beneficial results in people who have taken it for various reasons including malaria after which… one dose or two doses of it… it would eliminate malaria altogether.

It has also been shown to benefit hepatitis, all kinds of all forms of hepatitis infection and many other ailments particularly the accumulation of heavy metals and the resulting malfunctions of the thyroid, other endocrine organs, the liver and the brain and nervous system.

I have been recommending MMS or Miracle Mineral Solution for many years and I have seen incredible benefits rise from taking it, amongst people who have suffered from severe chemical sensitivity disorders or other ailments that are otherwise hard or difficult to remedy.

The reason why I am saying that is because MMS is not just breaking down harmful chemicals and heavy metals in the body, but it is also boosting the immune system, and also clears out pathogens that maybe involved or be attracted to these contaminants in the body, so its action is threefold. It stimulates the immune system; it breaks down harmful chemicals and toxins into harmless completely neutral substances.

Usually the end effect of taking MMS is that there is a little tiny bit of sodium which is found in salt, regular salt and sea salt, it basically shows up in the body and is removed through the normal passages such as the kidneys. There is no harmful chemical trace element left behind except a tiny amount of sodium, which is eliminated readily, very quickly from the body.

The actual active product that this MMS – Miracle Mineral Solution – consists of is sodium chlorite when activated becomes chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide is basically the chlorine that is combined with oxygen – chlorine dioxide – and this is the same that you find the same chlorine in table salt or regular sea salt and the sodium obviously that results from the action of chlorine dioxide in the body is once again very harmless and is eliminated readily.

The chlorine dioxide basically oxidizes and breaks down harmful metals in the system which sometimes, when you overdose, when you take too much than the prescribed two drops, two to three drops every two or three hours during the day for a week or two weeks, then if you do take more than that, you may get nauseated or you get diarrhea and you feel weak.

This is due to a massive removal of lot of toxins and pathogens, viral material or bacteria that are involved in the infection of, for example, of the liver. So if all that stuff is coming out too quickly it blocks the exit organs – the liver, kidneys and the colon – and that can lead to these aforesaid side effects such as nausea or diarrhea.

It’s always good to follow the instructions carefully when taking this product. The exact instructions are found on the website of the originator, the one that came about, that invented this formula or discovered it rather, and his name is “Jim Humble” and his website address is jimhumble.biz. There you find all the information about Miracle Mineral Solution. He is currently coming up with a new formulation that doesn’t have any odor in the product… that it’s basically odorless and it apparently doesn’t cause nausea or diarrhea. It is a milder form, which is just as effective or even more effective, yet it doesn’t create the same side effects as the old version. So you may want to check on that information in his website, again jimhumble.biz, and you will find a lot of more information about the various applications. There are lots of testimonials from people who have taken it and these are pretty much authentic, which I can confirm because I have received similar testimonials from people that I have heard back from. So you can definitely trust that this is a good product.

There is a lot of hype that is generated by the pharmaceutical industry and the FDA who wish to see this product vanish from the public, from the websites around the world, because it’s far too effective, it’s used for cancer, heart disease, for all kinds of ailments, and these benefits they are so overwhelming that the FDA is finding this to be very offensive because they support the pharmaceutical industry and don’t want a product that can be taken by anyone for pennies and basically forsake the expensive drugs that the pharmaceutical industry produces and that the FDA is basically sponsored by, and so that is obviously a thorn in the eye of the medical institutions who don’t want to see such a competitive product being on the market that can cut into the income revenue of those of the medical industry.

So, I do recommend this product. I used to sell it myself on my website, but I no longer have been doing that since the FDA has cracked down on websites that sell it, however, there are plenty of websites that sell the new version, not the latest, but the new MMS which is called Miracle Mineral Solution.

Thank you.

Immune Boosters ‘Can be’ Counterproductive

By Andreas Moritz 


This is a question form Diane Austin and she would like me to share what I think about immune boosters, and she is mentioning the IP6 and AHCC, and she is confused if they are counterproductive.

Certainly, I agree with the idea that immune boosters can be counterproductive, because when you interfere or manipulate the immune system, it can go either one way or the other. Either you boost the immune system, you increase it beyond what it is right now, or you suppress the immune system.  We know that vaccines suppress the immune system and they can eventually lead to severe issues unless of course you use an adjuvant, which are like aluminum, which can lead to a hyper reaction of the immune system which is not advisable, because when you do that, you never know when the immune system overreacts and starts turning against the body, because in a hypersensitive immune system, hyper-reactive immune system, it will start inflaming the body’s own cells and it’s called auto immune disease.

So I am not into boosting the immune system, I am not into suppressing the immune system but supporting the immune system, letting the body make sure it is as balanced as it is necessary.

Sometimes the body keeps the immune system lower in order to prevent an escalation, an inflammatory response, that could kill someone because it becomes too obstructive and so trying to boost the immune system when it is low through immune boosters, it can be very risky. So I am not in favor of that.

Many people’s immune systems are low because they suffer from vitamin D deficiency because they are not exposing their skin to the sun on a regular basis. If there’s, during a long winter period, not enough sunlight or it’s simply too cold to be outside, then I recommend using the vitamin D lamp, UV lamp, Dr. Mercola has great standing UV lamps, or there are simpler ones that basically allow you to expose the head, facial area or the upper chest area with tiny smaller UV lamps which can do the job quite well, giving you the necessary vitamin D that keeps the immune system balanced.

And there is a natural built-in mechanism that comes with regular sun exposure, UV-B is producing vitamin D in the body and UV-A that part of the UV light that penetrates deeper into the skin, UV-A makes sure that you don’t produce too much vitamin D. 

So the body knows too much of one thing or too little of the same can be damaging, and therefore there are mechanisms at place to always make sure that we have the right amount of strength in the immune system, not too little not too much.

So it’s better to go to the root causes of immune deficiency rather than trying to manipulate the immune system through immune boosters or any other mechanisms.

A healthy diet, balanced diet, healthy lifestyle, sleeping habits, all of that make sure that the immune system stays healthy. Keeping the liver clean is a great way to keep the immune system strong and balanced.

The sleep particularly is very important. There are studies to show that for every hour that we go to bed too late, and too late means anything after 10 PM, if we go to bed at 11 PM the immune system can already be deficient by 40 % for every hour you go to bed, later the immune system becomes weaker as we go along. So going to sleep at 9:30 – 10:00 PM is an excellent time to keep the immune system balanced and then having enough sunlight exposure.

Make sure that the body makes enough serotonin, that’s a powerful hormone produced in the brain and the digestive system, that keeps the immune system and the digestive system and the brain powerfully balanced in order to keep the body free of disease, and protect the body from contaminants… contaminants found in food or the environment.

So having said that, I hope this gives you some good idea why immune boosters are detrimental to the body and why we should go for the more natural immune boosters that come with a balanced lifestyle, diet, and stress-free life as much as possible, stress being obviously an immune suppressor.

We know that when we get stressed, emotionally disturbed, then that suppresses the immune system by secreting a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol suppresses the immune system.

So making sure that you have proper sleep, a good diet, clean the liver, which all helps to keep our emotions balanced, and if there is any emotional difficulty to perhaps seek help from others, speaking about it, expressing yourself, which all help to keeping the system as much as balanced as possible.

Suzanne Somers’ Stem Cell Breast Reconstruction Surgery

By Andreas Moritz 

For many years, I have been a great fan of Suzanne Somer’s incredible courage and persistence to enlighten the people about alternative methods of treating disease, especially cancer. Before publishing her New York Times bestseller “Knockout” about cancer and the many suppressed alternative treatments for cancer, she asked me if she could quote from my book Cancer Is Not a Disease – It’s a Survival Mechanism in her new book.  Given how controversial my book is in the eyes of the hardliners of conventional medicine, I felt very honored and agreed to it.  While this led to a an expected defamation campaign against me, Suzanne Somers took the brunt of it; the pharma-medical establishment and hired media attacked her viciously for writing her book, which has been read by millions of people. And yet again, the undeterred Suzanne Somers, single-handedly and not taking no for answer, opened up an entire new possibility for women who have been maimed by breast surgery to regain their sense of dignity and womanhood. Bravo, Suzanne! Please share with all woman who have had breast cancer surgery.

Ener-Chi Art – Helps Balance Life Force Energy or “Chi” through our Body

My name is Andreas Moritz. I was born in Stuttgart in Germany. I never envisioned that one day I would use art as a healing instrument that would help people to recover from illnesses on all levels mind, body and spirit.

The way it started is that I went to a peace conference in Israel. I lived in Cyprus at that time in the Mediterranean and a good, close friend of mine who then became my life partner and wife, Lillian, she came to the same peace conference and she said “You have to start something, it’s called the New Medicine, I don’t know what it is, but you have to start that, and it would involve painting.” I said “I’ve never painted before except walls in my home”, and so she said “No, you have to do that”, and I knew what kind of paintings I needed to produce for which body parts because each of the ener-chi art paintings responds to a particular part of the body – like the heart, the lungs, the spleen, the brain, the kidneys. Showing people the painting for about thirty seconds, they would have a shift in their ener-chi or what we call the ‘chi’ – the life force – that they would have suddenly a healing response that they did not, would not, have had the chance to have unless they would look at the painting.

The inspiration comes basically form nature. To see the perfection the nature displays, that there is something in nature that has a very, very profound effect on us, something that inspires a healing response in the body.

Most people who choose my art work they know me because I am a well-known writer. I have written seven books on medicine, natural medicine and healing and so, all over the world people are contacting me to get this healing art as a healing instrument.

The most famous place ever it was shown was a hospital in Minneapolis, Abbott Northwestern Hospital, which is one of the most prestigious hospitals in the country actually ,and a lot of doctors and chiropractors, they have the paintings, my paintings in their foyer and their reception room.

Listen to your heart. We are not just physical beings, we have energy in us, we have emotions in us, we have the spirit in us, we have a soul, and so all those different levels need healing. So if the art speaks to you get it; if it doesn’t, you will find something else that is suitable for you.

How to Deal with a Surgeon who wants to Remove the Gallbladder

By Andreas Moritz 

Hi, this is Andreas Moritz and this is a question from someone who is asking “How to deal with a surgeon who insists on removing your gallbladder?”

And my answer is quite simple, don’t deal with a surgeon who wants to remove the gallbladder, this is not the right person to deal with your gallbladder, unless of course, the gallbladder is dead is completely damaged, inflamed, and there is no chance for it to be restored.

However, I have seen people with completely filled gallbladders, like my own, after having gone through 40 gallstone attacks, I still didn’t want to give up my gallbladder and I am glad I didn’t.

So when I did my liver and gallbladder flushes, during the cleanse number 6 and 8, I passed all my calcified gallstones, I never had a gallstone attack after I did my first liver and gallbladder flush, and so anyone that can follow suit, anyone can do the exact same thing, it’s just an illusion that we have to take recourse to gallbladder surgery in order to get rid of one or two or three or even five or ten stones that might sit in the gallbladder.

There is just no good reason, as long as there is function in the gallbladder where the gallbladder still secretes or passes bile into the common bile duct and into the small intestine, as long as there is still some function left, you can clean out the liver and gallbladder, and save the gallbladder and make sure you don’t have gallstone attacks.

So there is no reason why we should go to a surgeon to get advice on how to save the gallbladder, because their job is to remove gallbladders, not to save gallbladders. So this is not the right person to ask.

There is a lot of good information in my book “The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush” that gives you more concrete answers, and of course it offers the procedure to clean out the liver and gallbladder.

In any event, I would advise anyone who is in that situation to try it out, it won’t harm you, and so trying it out… and it gives you a better perspective of what you can do, and take charge of your health rather than relinquish your power to another person who is not interested in saving your gallbladder at all to begin with, but wanting to take it out, that’s their job, so find someone else to ask but not a surgeon.

Alternative to Citrus Fruit Juice for Liver and Gallbladder Flush

By Andreas Moritz 

Hi, this is Andreas Moritz and there is a question from someone, April Blake, who is wondering if there is an alternative to citrus fruit juice for the liver and gallbladder flush because she is allergic to citrus.

It’s not the best solution but this is what I would suggest you do.

Take about two thirds of a cup of apple juice and combine that with the olive oil, half a cup of olive oil and mix it, shake it, just like you would with citrus juice, and use that instead.

It’s not ideal, definitely not ideal, but it’s second best. I would try that and maybe you can let us know how this went.

The main thing is that there is enough olive oil and that is the biggest trigger, the citrus juice also helps to relax and expand the bile ducts and to discharge the stones from the liver and gallbladder but, apple juice, the malic acid has somewhat that effect, and so you may want to do that.

If apple juice is not acceptable to you, you may use half a cup of the sour tart cherry juice and use that instead. Half a cup of sour tart cherry juice, and that would be another good way to substitute that. Not a good way, but again, second or third best.

Hope this works for you and I look forward to your feedback.

Thank you.

Liver Cleanse for stage four Gallbladder Cancer

By Andreas Moritz 

Hi, this is Andreas Moritz and today I would like to discuss a question from Catherine and she is asking if someone with Stage 4 gallbladder cancer is strong enough to do the liver cleanse, and she is asking if it will help with the cancer or even the side-effects of past chemotherapy treatments.

First of all, I don’t recommend anyone who has been undergoing chemotherapy to begin with the liver cleansing procedure or process unless there are at least six to eight months between the two.

Chemotherapy drugs are extremely toxic and they cause damage to many parts of the body because of inflammation of cells. As you know, chemotherapy only works because it destroys cells so it will destroy lot of cells, healthy cells, in the body just as well as it can destroy cancerous cells.

It also is a leading cause of gallbladder stones – or gallstones in the gallbladder, and gallstones in the intra-hepatic bile ducts – the bile ducts inside the liver, and so this is something we have to be very careful about, because the inflammation can be so strong in the body because of the chemotherapy that the body doesn’t have the strength and the stamina to endure a cleansing process that will eliminate lot of toxic particles that come from the previously experienced poisoning through chemotherapy.

So, a lot of these stones are filled with toxins, and they should at least stay in the liver for six to eight months before coming out so that the toxins, the poisons are properly encoated – coated and enveloped with bile – so that when they come out they don’t cause harm to the gastro-intestinal wall as they come through. So I don’t recommend at this stage then to do liver and gallbladder flushes.

The other thing is that at that late stage there can be all kinds of complications when stones actually pass through or are eliminated from the gallbladder that I don’t recommend when there is an illness an acute or severe illness like that to do the liver and gallbladder flushes.

So it would be best to focus on other things like diet, lifestyle changes, increasing the vitamin D in the body through regular sun exposure, sleeping early before ten o’clock and eating the main meal at lunch time, so whatever food is digested there is a better chance to digest the food more effectively if it’s eaten at lunch time and only have a light evening meal so that there is not a lot of undigested food lingering in the lower intestines which can put a great burden on the liver.

So I would rather focus on these things. You find a lot of information in my book “Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation” which might be helpful for that person.

I have seen Stage 4 gallbladder cancers get reversed. So once she is feeling a lot better, she may intend doing liver and gallbladder flushes, but again, there should be at least six to eight months between doing that and the treatment of chemotherapy.

Thank you so much.

Avoid any Gallbladder Surgery and be patient with Liver Flushes

By Andreas Moritz 

Hi, this is another question about the gallbladder, and a gallbladder surgeon who wants to take out someone’s gallbladder. This is from Coleen Woodman and I can advise, she is writing that she has had two gallbladder attacks this fall and did my liver and gallbladder flush a month ago and got about a thousand green, white cholesterol stones, some as big as 1.5 centimeters in diameter. And she says she feels great after the flush. She had an ultrasound when she was in the ER for the attacks and requested another one today to see if there are any issues or stones.

I can tell you that as long as you feel good, don’t feel tempted to remove an organ that is already functioning much better. My experience has been that people who do liver and gallbladder flushes, and even after the first liver and gallbladder flush, they don’t have another attack. Simply because many gallstones attacks happen not because of stones that come out of the gallbladder but stones that come out of the liver bile ducts. In fact I have had many, many people who have had their gallbladder surgically removed and still they have gallstone attacks where a stone from the liver bile ducts comes out and gets stuck in the common bile duct and triggers an attack. So there is no guarantee that once your gallbladder is out, you won’t have any more gallstone attacks.

The surgeon has no clue as to what these stones are, as you have indicated, he is not aware of intra-hepatic gallstones that are described by Johns Hopkins University as intra-hepatic – inside the liver, they occur inside the liver, most doctors are not aware of these terms simply because they cannot be recognized through ultrasound scans and they don’t show up because there is no reflecting, there is nothing in these stones that causes ultrasound waves to bounce back, to be echoed back, and therefore these waves simply go through, the sound waves go through them and there is no image of stones in the liver or in the gallbladder from the soft kinds of stones, the cholesterol stones, that don’t contain calcifications.

So I would suggest take your own health in your own hands because nobody else will do that for you, and listen to yourself, how you feel, having passed one thousand stones is a good beginning, but there is more in there. People who have gallstones in the gallbladder have thousands of stones in the liver bile ducts and the earlier, the faster you get them out, the better.

So keep cleansing the liver and gallbladder until there are no more stones coming out, then you may want to, if you like, to have another ultrasound, I don’t recommend ultrasound because they have also shown to have negative effects on the human body, but if you want to do that, you can do that.

Typically I found that calcified stones come out not before cleanse number 6, 7 or 8 as it has been in my own case but before that I passed thousands of non-calcified stones just as you have experienced it, and these are the more important stones to release rather than the few small, relatively small, or small numbers of stones that occur in the gallbladder itself.

So better to follow your instincts, your inclination, and follow your happiness. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t do it.

Healing common Colds and Coughs

By Andreas Moritz 

Hi, this is Andreas Moritz and today I would like to discuss a question from a person who suffers from colds, coughs and runny nose, and the answer to this question is very simple. Let it come out, support it, don’t suppress it, don’t try to stop it, because the experience of having a cold shows that there is a need for purification, for detoxification, that the body is trying to get rid of something through the mucus discharge.

Mucus as you might know, is part of the immune system, it’s the first line of defense that catches toxins, antigens, harmful pathogens, anything that the body doesn’t want to be absorbed into the blood stream or the lymphatic system, and so the mucus discharge or the secretion of extra mucus is a necessary defensive reaction by the body in order to make sure it stays healthy, clean and healthy inside, and therefore there is really only a need to support the body in this effort, rather than stopping the body in its effort to cleanse itself and purify itself and to enhance the immune system, in fact.

Colds have been known to strengthen the immune system once the body has successfully removed toxins, but if you try to stop that, and there are methods to stop it, then the toxins that the body is trying to eliminate will go deeper into the tissues such as the connective tissues of the organs and systems in the body, and this not something I encourage you to do, because the cold is the body’s retrieval system and the relief valve, so to say, to get rid of some things that have been stored for a season or an entire year or many years, and the cold helps you to clear that from your system which is much, much better than keeping it inside.

So I would encourage you to support the body by drinking extra fluids, water that shouldn’t be cold water like from the refrigerator, it should be at least lukewarm or warm water, you can put lemon and honey in there, if there is cough, cough is often helped by adding a teaspoon of honey to warm water and some lemon. The lemon also helps to break down mucus so that it comes out faster. It’s not to stop it, but to come out faster and more easily because if it’s liquefied or thinned, then it can run out through the nose much faster than before.

Also, if there is cough, you may have to realize that a cough is the body’s way to clear toxins from the lung area, from the bronchial system, we should not take cough syrups or something that suppresses that function, but to support it. So hydration, spending time out in the sun to get vitamin D back up, because we only really catch colds when vitamin D levels are low.

So the other thing is avoid foods that cause mucus discharge particularly during the time of the cold such as sugar, any kind of sugar except honey which breaks down mucus as I said before, sugar is increasing mucus secretions. Also dairy products you want to avoid, because they create congestion in the gastrointestinal tract and dairy particles or protein particles in dairy food are always aggravating the mucus lining so that would create more mucus discharge than is necessary, and drink, have some vegetable soups, some herbal teas perhaps, avoiding heavy dinners in the evening, making your main meal at lunch time, so that you can digest it properly and you don’t have to deal with remnants of undigested foods in the gastrointestinal tract, that means you don’t create extra fermentation and bacteria that have to get rid of or break down these undigested foods, so that this is much easier for the body to handle and it allows the body to get rid of the accumulated toxins speedily, as effortlessly as possible, and you feel much better for it after the cold has diminished and is gone. You feel like… exuberant, even euphoric, once you have gone through it successfully without trying to stop it.

Of course, antibiotics don’t help at all because they are not intended for viruses but only work on bacteria and most colds are related to viruses and viruses are particles, protein particles, that are generated only in order to dissolve some chemical toxins, harmful substances in the body. They don’t come into our body just to infect us, have fun spreading throughout the system. They only come when there is a need for it and sometimes they help the inflamed cells that have been damaged beyond repair and the inflammation helps to restore the body, allow new cells to be generated to replace old damaged cells.

So viruses are not something we need to combat, but again, the focus should be on strengthening the immune system, taking care of the digestive functions, take enough rest, so that the body can do all those different things and not have to spend energy on other things as well.

Thank you.

How to get off Dialysis support and Heal the Kidneys

By Andreas Moritz 

Hi, this is a question from a person whose wife has been on dialysis for at least ten years and during this time she is undergoing dialysis about three times a week, every second or third day, and she is very tired doing that, and obviously this is interfering with her life greatly. Her doctors have told her that her kidneys are dead and she will never be able to recover her kidney functions. Her husband tried to tell her that perhaps liver flushes could help her, but she is convinced that this is not going to help her recover her kidneys.

I can only tell you that the idea that the kidneys are dead, that’s quite ludicrous because if her kidneys were dead, she would have decomposing kidneys, they would basically completely disintegrate and would cause sepsis in the body, and the person would obviously die from that very quickly. So to say that the kidneys are completely dead and non-functional, that is just a misconception, that is a myth, that doesn’t happen. So it’s important to realize that perhaps the kidneys are in the sleeping mode for the time being, but whatever is asleep can also be reawakened.

I have seen people who have been on dialysis for long, long periods of time and recovered their kidneys, not to full capacity but at least to a point where they didn’t need continuous or regular dialysis to basically remove urine components from the kidneys.

So I would suggest, if she is open to that, to consider cleaning out the liver. I have discussed the relationship between the liver and the kidneys to a great extent in my book “The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush” and there is a very, very strong connection between these two organs because the liver is responsible for taking out metabolic waste products and passing them on to the kidneys for excretion.

If the liver is not doing its job properly, the kidneys can easily get overwhelmed with toxins and waste products that are not broken down properly by the liver, and therefore they can injure the kidneys to a point that the kidneys become so congested that they are not able to remove urine to the level that they need to, in order to not become congested and overwhelmed themselves.

So it’s important to find ways to decongest the body including the intestines, the liver, and to eat a diet that is not contributing to damage to the kidneys such as a high protein diet which is important to avoid for anyone that has kidney trouble because damaged proteins can severely interfere with kidney functions.

So it’s best to be on a vegan vegetarian diet, which has shown to ease up the stress on the kidneys, and to allow the kidneys to help themselves and clean themselves out.

I would also encourage her to take the kidney cleanse tea for at least 3 times a year, for about 20 days each, to start decongesting the kidneys to reawaken some of their functions and to start taking over some of the things that currently only dialysis sessions can do for her.

So I would also recommend that to do something that is not very popular in North America but in Europe it is very popular, and that is to use some of her own urine that is formed, perhaps to a small amount, or that she can derive from the dialysis machine, to use some of the urine, the formed urine, and take it back orally into the body and that has shown to greatly benefit the kidneys. My mother, whose kidneys were failing when she was in her 60s and 70s, she completely recovered her kidney functions simply by drinking her own urine and she was able to live another 25 years and quite comfortably so.

So, there are different ways one can help the kidneys even in such a dire state that eating certain foods such as asparagus frequently can also contribute to better kidney functions. Once again, avoiding foods that interfere with the kidneys, which include animal proteins such as meat, chicken, fish, eggs, and also the sugars, artificial sugars, the artificial sweeteners, food additives, junk foods, fried foods, deep fried foods, should all be avoided.

Sugar, in particular, can raise the uric acid levels dramatically and can cause kidney stones and crystals and kidney sand which can diminish the functions of kidney cells dramatically.

So I recommend wholeheartedly to just eat natural foods that are not processed or not manufactured in factories.

I hope that this will help her if she takes advantage of this information, and I wish you all success in that.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases – Myths and Facts

By Andreas Moritz 

Hi, this is Andreas Moritz and today I would like to answer a question from Bryan Spiritus and he was wondering if I could speak about sexually transmitted diseases. He made the statement that there is a lot of misinformation and there are a lot of scare tactics in high schools in the United States and elsewhere that scare kids away from having sexual contact at all, and they receive the image that sex or a sexual contact is something that they need to stay away from, because it is a dirty, negative thing and he says that perhaps this has more to do with strengthening our immune system rather than trying to find treatments for those various illnesses.

And I totally agree with you on this, I found over the years that sexually transmitted diseases are, in fact, indications that the immune system has been depressed, suppressed, by previous encounters with strong toxins.

I found that vaccines that are given to kids depresses and suppresses the immune system tremendously, that’s basically the approach that modern medicine is taking in order to prevent the appearance or the occurrence of infectious diseases which is very harmful, as we now know since that tremendously increases the risk of developing cancer later in life, and many, many other chronic illnesses which are typically all based on a weakened, suppressed immune system, and there is a lot of scientific evidence now that shows that the immune system of teenagers already, the immune systems are very, very weak compared to the immune systems that teenagers had even thirty or forty years ago.

So we are dealing with a lot of contamination through these chemicals that are in vaccines, formaldehyde, preservatives, adjuvants like aluminum, mercury, many other things that relate, that suppress the immune system or trick the immune system into hyper reaction, such as animal particles from DNA that are contained in the vaccines, and the other thing is that the food and diet that most of the young generation now is eating is also suppressive of the immune system, it can cause severe gastrointestinal stress which is now more common than before and that is because the young people eat a lot of junk food that includes processed sugars and soft drinks, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, canned foods or frozen foods that often contain BPAs in the plastic packaging and in the lining of the canned goods, the cans… so there is a lot of exposure to toxins which gradually diminishes the strength of the immune system.

In addition, the young people tend to suffer from Vitamin D deficiency, they don’t get out in the sun as young people used to, before the modernization of our industry where young people used to be more out in the fields and helping with the farming of animals and crops, and so nowadays this has changed tremendously to a more living system that makes us be more indoors than outdoors, and so these young people suffer from Vitamin D deficiency because of lack of sun exposure, and this also suppresses the immune system.

So once a person has a weak, suppressed immune system, he is more prone to developing any kind of infection that includes sexually transmitted diseases, and so these diseases, they are harmless to a person who has a strong healthy immune system, but the person who doesn’t is more prone to developing an infection thereof and so I would suggest not to vilify these diseases or the germs that can be transmitted from one person to another, these germs are totally harmless for a person who is healthy and strong, they are not harmless in a person who isn’t, and so the focus is really, as you said, more on something outside rather than inside.

We now know that AIDS, which is a number of so-called diseases like pneumonia and others that are called ‘AIDS diseases’ because they are related to immune deficiency and the particles or the viruses that are blamed for that are HIV 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on whereas, in reality, it has been shown that these HIV particles, retroviruses, are not at all the cause of AIDS, they cannot be held responsible for causing AIDS diseases, but a weak, depressed, or disturbed immune system is, and this comes from even the main discoverer of the HIV virus, Montagnier, who has since then retracted his statement that HIV is responsible for AIDS, he no longer believes that, he says that HIV is really harmless as long as the immune system is strong and healthy.

And so the focus should be on strengthening the immune system, taking care of a person’s diet, have good amount of hydration in the body and to make sure that also emotionally there is some balance, that stress is known to suppress the immune system as well, that the person is in the best condition to ward off any kind of infectious diseases, and therefore there is no reason why not to indulge in sexual activities that is part of the growth process.

We were all once very young and we went through our own experiences, sexual encounters, and this didn’t turn out to be hazardous to our health and to our wellbeing, in fact, it made us more self-confident and joyful. So, I don’t personally have anything against sexual experiences and I would encourage that young people need to follow their natural instincts in this regard, and not follow certain rules and directions that are superimposed on them.

There is some responsibility, of course, with regard to pregnancies, unwanted pregnancies, but this is another topic altogether.

Thank you.

The Liver Flush and Medication

By Andreas Moritz 

Hi, this is Andreas Moritz and today I would like to discuss whether medication can interfere with liver flushes, and I have written in my book that it is advisable not to do liver flushes unless you are off medication, and the reason for that is because medication, any kind of medical drug, pharmaceutical drug, interferers with the liver’s ability to remove toxins.

While doing the liver flushes the body is enhancing that ability, so the liver is relaxed, the bile ducts are relaxing, the liver is increasing the bile secretion in order to get rid of any accumulated stones that inhibit the bile flow and make it more difficult for the body to digest food and to eliminate toxins and waste products.

When you take any mediation such as high blood pressure medication or even an insulin injection or anything that interferes with the body’s natural functioning, by suppressing some of these functions, like an immune suppressant in order to reduce inflammation in the body, an anti-inflammatory drug, steroid hormones, hormonal drugs, antibiotic, anything that suppresses something in the body will also suppress the ability of the liver to detoxify the blood, to remove waste products from the blood stream and from the tissues in the body, indirectly though, because when the liver is not able to remove toxins from the blood stream, then the body is also not able to remove toxins and waste products such as lactic acid, uric acid, urea from the tissues that are basically caused or produced by the cells in the body, the so-called metabolic waste products.

So when you take medication while you are also doing a liver and gallbladder flush, you may find that you are not secreting or passing a lot of stones, and in addition, you might become nauseated or feel sick and throw up the oil mixture that you are ingesting. So I tend to be hesitant in recommending that you do liver flushes while you are still also taking medication.

The other problem with medication is that if you are dependent on a certain dosage to keep your blood pressure suppressed for a certain length of time, if you are doing a liver flush, you might find that the liver is reducing or removing that dosage from the blood stream by becoming more efficient, you may suddenly find that the medication is no longer working as designed and this can create fluctuations that shouldn’t happen so quickly, suddenly you might find that the blood pressure is going up rapidly, and that is something I don’t recommend.

If you are weaning yourself off any medication, it should be done very, very gradually and not as quickly, as it could happen if you do a liver and gallbladder flush.

The liver and gallbladder flush can eventually clear up high blood pressure and related issues simply by decongesting the body, by removing contaminants, and therefore the body no longer has to have high blood pressure in order to push the required amount of nutrients and oxygen through the blood vessels into the cells.

So if there is an abnormal blood pressure, medication is not the best answer to control that, you can control it but it does not really deal with the root causes of the high blood pressure which is progressive or prolonged congestion in the body, so it’s better to deal with the underlying congestion, open up the ducts and channels of elimination and circulation in the body that include the colon, the bile ducts in the liver of course, the blood vessel walls which can become more narrow by eating certain foods such as animal proteins, which can cause thickening of the basal membranes of the blood vessel walls, which then can lead to inflammation in the blood vessels, and when inflammation occurs, there could be blood clots that are formed, and in order to protect the heart from any blood clots moving into the heart and causing heart attack, the body will produce more cholesterol that can be attached to these lesions and wounds to prevent blood clots form being released into the blood.

So the body is very, very careful in always protecting some of the most important organs, most vital organs such as the heart and the kidneys from causing severe damage that the person may not be able to recover from.

So when the body is raising the blood pressure it is actually better to allow the body to do that than artificially reducing the blood pressure, which can damage the kidneys, can cause liver damage, and cause more problems than it can actually resolve.

So, I am very careful, there is actually studies to show that people who take high blood pressure medication are not any better off than those who don’t take high blood pressure medication for their high blood pressure; and in fact, taking high blood pressure (medication) eventually leads to chronic heart failure, congestive heart failure, which is a very slow death process that I would not want anyone to experience.

So, once again, if you are attempting the liver flushes, I recommend you don’t take any medication, particularly during the preparation period and during the actual liver and gallbladder flush, the Day Six of the preparation. If you can wean yourself off, that is the best way, I obviously cannot make such a recommendation to anyone, you need to consult with your medical doctor, it’s always good to do that under supervision and not do it yourself, but in my opinion, medications are not necessary, there are alternatives, decongesting the body, cleansing the body, nourishing yourself better, exposing your skin to the sun on a regular basis which takes care of 67% of the health problems that most people suffer from according to the latest research, including heart disease, cancer, joint problems such as arthritis, osteoporosis and many others.

So it’s better to take recourse to natural means to further your health, than unnatural means which always interferes with the functions of the very important organs including the liver, heart, brain and nervous system, and the kidneys and the intestines.

This is my advice, if you are doing a liver flush and you are taking medication, you might have to deal with undesirable consequences, that’s why I am very, very cautious about recommending liver flushes while you are on medication.

Thank you.

Debunking Vitamin B12

By Andreas Moritz 

Hi, my name is Andreas Moritz and today I would like to debunk some of the myths surrounding the vitamin, the important vitamin B12.

Many people believe that we are as a society, modern society; we are suffering from severe vitamin B12 deficiencies.  And there is some truth to that but not because we are not eating enough vitamin B12 in our food, but because we are not absorbing enough of that vitamin B12. And this can have a number of reasons and these reasons are responsible for the vitamin B12 deficiency that often ends up causing a form of anemia where the red blood cell count diminishes.

Now, we need B12 for basically every function in the body, every single cell requires B12 and if there is a B12 deficiency, we can experience as I said, anemia, we can have pins and needles in our hands, we can have brain and nervous system disorders, the bone marrow doesn’t function properly, we don’t produce enough red blood cells as mentioned, and we can have severe gastrointestinal problems.

Now one of the main reasons why there is such a strong vitamin B deficiency in our society today is because many people have stomach problems, and the reason for that is because we are eating a diet that is no longer in harmony with our body’s requirement for nutrients and for proper digestion. In fact many of the processed refined factory-produced foods are virtually indigestible. They cannot be properly broken down and they interfere with the secretions of digestive juices such as hydrochloric acid in the stomach.

There is a particular organic substance in the stomach, it’s called intrinsic factor, and in order to absorb, to digest and assimilate B12, the vitamin B12, then we need to have that intrinsic factor in larger quantities. If we have a diminished amount of that intrinsic factor, the B12 that we may eat, doesn’t matter through whatever source, including ingested supplements, then we are not going to absorb it, and its going to be useless.

So, the most important thing is to make sure our intrinsic factor in our stomach is produced in the right amounts and that is regulated by what we eat, how well we chew or masticate our food and also a second factor, whether we digest the food in our small intestine.

And that is a very, very important point because when we eat, for example, a very high concentrated protein meal such as lot of eggs or meat or fish and chicken, because we have only the capacity to digest up to 20 % of these foods, the majority of them will become putrefied in our intestines. So when we have undigested protein lingering in our intestinal tract for longer than even a couple of hours, then that disturbs the probiotic bacteria population in our gut, and probiotic bacteria are the principle source of B12 that is typically absorbed at the end of the small intestine in the terminal ileum, and in that part that’s where the B12 gets absorbed into the blood stream and carried to the liver, and the liver is in charge of keeping B12 there, and when required by the cells in the body it will put that into the circulation, into the blood stream, the cells will take it up and it’s going to be recycled in most cases. So most of the B12 is recycled and used for up to 6 or 7 years.

The amount of B12 that we need in our entire lifetime is just as much as a tip of the pinkie, this nail, it’s a very, very small amount, and its quite difficult to get B12 deficiency unless of course we have trouble in utilizing it, and once again that has a lot to do with what’s happening in our digestive system and not necessarily to do with the food that we eat, whether it contains enough B12 or not.

Since the principal source of B12 bacteria, and these are probiotic bacteria, when they die, they release the B12 and it’s been absorbed and utilized, which again is used by the brain and nervous system, the digestive system and the bone marrow, for most of all in order to keep our body healthy, vital and strong.

Now when a person eats a lot of junk food, uses medication, most medication particularly antibiotics destroy the probiotic bacteria population, and eating foods like meat, lot of meat which contains B12 but it cannot really be absorbed properly when the digestion is not working very well, particularly the intrinsic factor in the stomach has been diminished, which does happen when you eat too much protein foods. So there is a lot of to be said about meat being a source of B12, or eggs being a source of B12, or dairy products being a source of B12, that it doesn’t mean that you are going to absorb that.

Many, many vegetables are actually capable of releasing B12 as well and so there are smaller amounts of B12 in these foods such as bananas, green, leafy vegetables, sunflower seeds or leeks, dates, dates are rich in B12, they grown on palm trees, there are beans, there are green beans, oats, carrots, peas and so on.

These are small amounts, but that’s all we need, we don’t need large amounts of B12 that is prevalent in more meat products, but if we don’t digest these meat products up to more than 10 – 15 % then there is just no advantage eating meat products over eating vegetarian foods.

If you are, if you do want to have a higher source of B12, then butter is a good source of that, and I do recommend butter for most people, so that would be an alternative if you are non-vegetarian.

However, once again, the misunderstanding about B12 deficiency comes because we don’t understand how the body produces its own B12, just like cows for example, they don’t have to eat meat or drink other species’ milk in order to produce B12, they derive it from the plant foods, and they are, they don’t have a deficiency. Humans, as long as they eat natural foods, we will also not develop a B12 deficiency.

I personally had severe anemia when I grew up, when I was a child, and my B12 deficiencies stemmed from eating too many dairy products and animal proteins that eventually lead to severe gastrointestinal distress, and rheumatoid arthritis, and arrhythmia, and when I stopped eating these foods, my anemia disappeared, so my face started becoming colorful again, whereas before I was as white as snow in my face and I never had any color in my face. So that shows that the anemia is not necessarily removed by eating animal products. On the contrary, animal products can contribute greatly to a B12 deficiency.

Another misunderstanding surrounding B12 is that when you take a supplement, you think that you are going to absorb it and utilize it, but that is not necessarily so. B12 never comes alone, it always in nature combined with other B vitamins. So when a person just takes a B12 vitamin supplement, it is very, very, very difficult to absorb and utilize because nature didn’t built B12 on its own, or by itself, it always combines it with other B vitamins and other vitamins and minerals and other substances that allow the B12 to be utilized.

So once again, B12 deficiency has nothing really too with vegetarianism. Many, most people who are B12 deficient actually are meat eaters, and not vegetarians. However vegetarians can also suffer from B12 deficiency, it depends on what else they do, if they take medication or if they have used antibiotics in the past, the probiotic bacteria population can be disturbed for many years, and according to new study, actually can cause disruption for an entire lifetime.

One of the best things to do to improve the digestive process is to clean out the liver bile ducts so any accumulation of stones, intra-hepatic gallstones in the bile ducts of the liver inhibit the ability to digest food properly, it interferes with the probiotic bacterial population. Undigested food, putrefying, fermenting food doesn’t matter whether its vegetables or meat products, will lead to diminished absorption of B12 because of the lack of probiotic bacteria which is the major source of B12 in the body.

So I hope that this clarifies the issue, and I can only suggest eat naturally, live in a natural way, expose your body to the sun, B12 absorption also depends on how much vitamin D you have available to keep the digestive system strong and vital, and so when you expose your whole body to the sun on a regular basis, you will also have a higher level of healthy bacteria populations in the gut and have a stronger digestive absorption of nutrients available to you and therefore it is very difficult to actually develop B12 deficiency.

Do Not do a Liver Flush if a Stent is Present in the Common Bile Duct

Hi, this is Andreas Moritz and today I am answering a question about stents or staples that are put in after a gallbladder has been removed surgically.

I personally don’t recommend that anyone who has a stent in the common bile duct to do any liver and gallbladder flushes because the common bile duct would not dilate enough, and stone scan get stuck in the stent.

We need to have a functional common bile duct that is capable of dilating, expanding, dilating in response to taking Epsom salts, and the mixture of olive oil and citrus juice so that the stones travel without any obstruction or being stuck, getting stuck, in the common bile ducts.

So I don’t recommend liver and gallbladder flushes for people who have a stent in the common bile duct.

Having said this, those who have a staple in the cystic duct, or the duct that used to go from the gallbladder into the common bile duct, if that little part is stapled, then there is no problem doing liver flushes because the stones will come directly from the liver and through the common bile duct end up going in the same way as a person who still has a gallbladder passing into the small intestine and then going out through the large intestine.

So, once again, if there is a stent in the common bile duct, don’t do liver and gallbladder flushes, if you have a staple in the part that is the cystic duct, then there is no problem doing the liver flush.

Thank you.

Man for All Seasons ~ Andreas Moritz

Man for All Seasons ~ Andreas Moritz

Richard Miller: Good morning, everyone. My name is Richard Miller and welcome to ‘Never Not Here’ and we are doing a series of talks this fall, it’s going to get very busy actually pretty soon, but this is one I have been waiting for, for a while, a good while, let’s say, and I am sure you are going to be amazed and what I want to say is sometimes we meet somebody and very quickly we just fall into sync with that person, and it could be an actual physical meeting or it can actually, or it can be reading a book let’s say, in this case it was for me, and I just saw so many things it’s kind of like a dream that you can just open a book you can look at a website, you can hear a person, you could go to a teacher and just kind of a dream a lot of things would fall into sync that you would just have a lot of interest in one moment that “hey look what is he saying, here hey that means something. I used to think the other way but why not this is logical too. Hey!” and then just  1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 and you going deeper and each one is just a rich path I just, wouldn’t life be some, just amazing if that was your daily life, that you were somehow finding things that were just totally connecting with you, y..ou know. Whether they are real or false or whatever I mean whether someone else connects with it I mean it’s just like our path would just connect and I just felt so great when I, and I am just so curious and I was so much into going into you know this might be one of the most researched guest that we have ever had for many, I mean, I still don’t know what to say but anyhow let me just say please help me welcome Andreas Moritz. So, Andreas…

Andreas Moritz: Thank you for having me.

Richard Miller: I have been waiting for you

Andreas Moritz: Thank you.

Richard Miller: So at first I, I saw your book at a friend’s house, one of your books and it was “Cancer Is Not a Disease”, and I don’t have cancer; nobody in my family has cancer now. I guess my mother did have it but she is gone and, but somehow that was just such a provocative title, “Cancer Is Not a Disease”, and I had to kind of take a look at it and from that I just really fell in love with you, I guess. I, one thing I want to applaud you for or thank you for is that now finding more about you, finding out more about you I, I find you on many, many different levels in one way when I read that book I thought that it was kind of separated. In another words the book, at least one chapter, I remember, I think it was the second chapter ‘The physical causes of cancer’ and I really appreciated that being separate, and just talking about the physical causes of cancer, the physical parts of health, because if you had talked about the Sacred Sounds or Artwork or other things I probably wouldn’t have gone into it and I believe that you, you know, you as a professional and as a person have touched so many lives and maybe that ability to touch everyone on their own level is just really a miracle.

Andreas Moritz: Thank you and I definitely agree with you there because most people believe that there are physical causes and emotional, mental causes. We know that the Centres of Disease Control, they now recognise that 85 % of illnesses are directly related to stress and that means our response to certain situations and circumstances, our relationships, just the day to day life that people respond to it in various ways, but if it is a stressful response that means they evoke the production of stress hormones in their system, then it interferes with the biological programs that we have set for ourselves or that our body is performing on our behalf and that includes the digestion of food, the elimination of waste, the transportation of nutrients to the cells in the body and we are recognising that there can be severe emotional stress are causing the so called worst illnesses of that we have in human history, and cancer is included.

Now when I call cancer not being a disease, I am very aware of the eyebrows that are going up when people hear that, but I have to speak my own truth form my own experience with cancer, thousands of people have had cancer and don’t have it anymore, you start recognising that there are other reasons for causing the cancer, and from my experience I discover that cancer is actually part of a healing response or the healing mechanism and it is not in itself a disease that is trying to destroy us, that it is a rather an opportunity for a person to improve their lives on many levels including the emotional, psychological, and spiritual health. It’s not just about physical health here.

We have separated mind from the body for decades now ever since mental doctors, psychologists and psychiatrist have told us that there is something separate from the body and that is the mind but it is not really true. You can never separate the mind from the body and that’s why the Centres for Disease Control are finding out that 85 to 90 % of the diseases are caused by stress, so what is it mean?

It is really very clear that the mind cannot be separated from the body otherwise if they were separation there would be separate illnesses but the two overlap, or one causes the other, and likewise we can have physical disorders that affect us emotionally, spiritually and mentally.

We can, simply by being congested in the body by accumulating waste matter, toxins in the liver and the bile, in the liver’s bile ducts or in the gastrointestinal tract or in the tissues in the body, we can have a suffocating feeling, we feel suffocated which depressed many functions in the body and we can call that depression.

So many of the typical emotional psychological problems that people suffer from, may in fact be related to physical blockage and I have seen that over and over again in people who cleanse the body, that suddenly some of these depression, anxiety feelings are disappearing just as if they were never there, and, we can go into that because it is so crucial, it’s so important for us to know why things happen, why people get ill, not just that they do fall ill but why do they get ill. And once we know that, we can change those particular influences and take control of our own health and being, and suddenly realise that it was not that difficult….

Richard Miller: …you know when you said that yes a lot of people’s eyebrows go up and I was so much into that book, I was on a trip and I would, and I was reading that book, I was doing filming too and it like ten days or something like that, I was just imbibing, imbibing and I was so full of that book I got on these airplanes to go home, via two legs to take, and both times I sat by someone, you know, and this book just start pouring out of me, you know, I couldn’t help it, and it turned out both those people had cancer, had survived cancer, they had, and one of them his brother just got it and he, they both had been through the whole thing probably with chemo and the whole thing, I imagine,  and more or less they say things like ‘what does this guy know? This thing is tragedy,’ or so many people’s eyebrows go up because they live with their parent or somebody that’s had cancer for years and years and years and all the suffering, and somehow you can hardly, somehow you have to say it in such a soft and beautiful way that doesn’t confront or doesn’t break those people because they had an experience which you have to honour, and that’s what happened to me anyhow. It was crazy.

Andreas Moritz: yes, interesting, every person’s cancer is different because every person brings in their own reasons for it. I look at so many cancer personality histories and I discovered that there is a common thread in each one of them and so there is a connecting underline fact and that is that a person is not secure, doesn’t feel secure himself. There is a sense of not being good enough, there is often a personality that is trying to please everyone because in, somehow during childhood experiences, he was not loved or cared for enough, and so he is looking for compensation throughout life, he is looking at other people to give him back or her back what was missing or what was missed during their childhood years experience and so when people are craving or trying to please others, help others to serve them to be the kindest person, it is often that they do not like themselves and so they are trying to put out a sense of… them… to help other people love them more.. so to give them the opportunity to love them more …and that could stem in a difficult place because it is very stressful to try to please everyone all the time and that because that causes self-neglect because in the reality that person doesn’t have a very good opinion of themselves and I find that fascinating and many times people do not realise that but when you ask cancer patients What happened before you had cancer? What happened? Was there any trauma? Any relationship breakups? Anything that made you feel weak or inferior feeling inferior, having a low self-esteem? Then people respond that yes there has been a conflict of some sort preceding the diagnosis of cancer, and I never found anyone yet who didn’t agree with that.

Then people are saying what about children… because children are not emotionally distressed when they… they have… they get cancer, leukaemia, or another form of brain cancer, they don’t have these emotional hang-ups yet like adults have, and I have to remind them that they do, because I have seen again, babies literally suffering from emotional trauma, that prematurely born babies that are separated from their mother, that they no longer hear and feel the heartbeat of their mother because they are no longer allowed to be close to the mother, they are sitting in an incubator or lying in an incubator and have no contact to their sense of life force, which the mother represents, by having a heartbeat and there are studies to show that babies that are put back on the mothers chest at least a couple of times a day even with the tubes connected to them, premature babies, then they grow up to three or four times faster and they do not have serious infections or skin eruptions like the ones that are disconnected from their mother. So they do suffer emotional trauma and…

Richard Miller: That emotional trauma, I think could just be the vibration of being in the womb because the mother has the emotional trauma, so then that is just, or maybe it is even more than just a physical connection to say ‘aahhh, a fetus is in a womb and there is a vibration and then there is a feeling and then there is a tension’, and all these things, and there is also a whole though pattern that surrounds the whole family, and like, I just want to say one thing because it is so easy to say that a person did not feel good about himself as if I do feel good about myself, as if I get it all and figured out, but none of it is really, I wanted to say, like to me it feels like life is a mystery to all of us ,and just honour that, and everybody, and maybe it erupts in someone in a way we can see, and it doesn’t erupt in us in a way we can see, it comes in us in some kind of, like a disease, but I mean…

Andreas Moritz: Yes, we often obviously are growing up, we don’t know how fast we grow unless you check the height and your mother or a friend comes by and says “Oh my gosh! You have grown two or three inches!” the person doesn’t know that, and likewise because we grow up in a certain way… there is a new study that was released and that it confirms studies that I have written about fifteen years ago that babies, fetuses in the womb, they do respond to emotional conditions of the mother and if the mother gets upset then it shows that the heart beat is changing and the baby becomes fearful so the trauma starts and they now know that the baby is eavesdropping on the conversations that the mother has with the father for example and so everything is recorded in the baby and when it comes out it may already be fearful of coming into this life and the new study shows that there are quite a lot of changes that happen when, before the baby actually gets born, and when it gets born, there are other traumas and many are born with Caesarean Section which is very traumatic for the baby because it is supposed to slip through the birth canal which is the first orgasm that the child has, and it’s a really shown to give the baby the feeling of being squeezing out, it’s like making love to the baby and the mother feels in the same way, and if that is missing, then there is a disconnect to life because you do not know how you came into this world, so you have sort of you don’t quite know who you are…

So the disadvantages that arise that are carefully studied and it shows that these individuals have more difficulties later in life to deal with difficult situations, like stress, and so once again there are many, many factors that I found as well that babies that are injected with harmful material that contain poisons as found in formaldehydes and preservatives are in vaccines that embodied parts from other animals are in the vaccines that.. that creates a severe emotional trauma in the child’s body and it can lead up to many years of stress reactions as the child grows up and develop an illness from very early stage on.

So there are many unknown factors or have been unknown factors that are now surfacing that are now being studied. and I am very grateful that it is happening now because I even 35 years ago was talking about how vaccines are responsible for so many emotional and psychological and physical illnesses that are now being studied and referred to as being caused by vaccines.

Richard Miller: you know, just going right back to the very beginning of our conversation, when we started to talk about disease and disorder, so much of it is stress based, so then ok, let’s look at the world in all the efforts to heal the world, and all of really what should I call them, I want to say, like good efforts but I mean…sincere, totally sincere, and very… let’s say, efficient even, but there really getting something done but somehow they are based on an anxiety that things aren’t right, and this is the most critical time and I even read or heard somebody saying the other day that this is a pivotal generation that this generation is either going to make it or break it and like this is it and so it is anxiety based and we are just proving that, we are finding that all the diseases are anxiety based and so then how can these things really cure the world, I mean how can we cure the world with anxiety there is got to be a different approach.

Andreas Moritz: Absolutely, and it is a change of minds, it literally is changing our perception of what is, if we perceive something as negative and threatening, it cannot be resolved because the moment you resolve that problem, you create ten others and so that is what we find in medicine; the entire approach of fixing a problem which only means fixing the symptom of the problem, not really the problem, because you cannot fix problems, you can make it disappear, it’s easy to take chemotherapy drugs and shrink a tumor, there is no miracle about that because you kill the cells altogether, they will be gone, but does this mean the cancer is gone? No! Because the underlying roots are still intact, it’s like cutting off the top of the weed like in a plant and thinking that it will not grow again but before long, in a very short time, it starts coming up again, and probably stronger than before, because the roots are going deeper, so that is what we find with the medical approaches.

We are diagnosing something and that is just the tip of the iceberg and we forget there is a mountain underneath and if the ship runs into the mountain because we cannot the symptom, we cannot see the tip of the iceberg, it breaks apart the ship. So it’s like that, that’s what we are doing.

We are treating the symptoms without dealing with the root causes, and by doing that we suppress the symptom, we make it go away so that we don’t have to bother with it, we don’t have to think about it for the time being, and then we have ten other problems arising from not really treating this thing, and we are literally, in modern medicine, we are trying to cut away the symptomology and not realizing that this symptoms of disease are part of the healing response that the body is coming up with, in order to bring balance to itself.

So the body doesn’t create illness, we call it disease. In reality it is the healing phase of a disease. It’s the body correcting itself, the body going back to homeostasis – which is never comfortable.

When a disease manifests itself, you don’t have any symptoms. That means that is the phase when the person is terrified. Think of the ‘fight or flight’ response, that is why the CDC is right about, that most diseases relates to stress because that is where it begins. We are, let’s say I am diagnosed today with prostate cancer, or colon cancer, then if I were weak spirited and I wouldn’t trust my body and I would only trust the doctors, I probably would believe that this is the end of my life, my life is threatened. So I am experiencing a death threat. That is a death fright. I am frightened to death.

Now when you are frightened to death, your body is coming up with very powerful biological programs in order to deal with that severe stress. Typically called the ‘fight or flight’ response. So what will happen is, my breathing will stop, it will like “oh my god I can’t breathe” we even say these things. So when I cannot breathe my lungs have to produce an extra amount of cells in order to facilitate and enhance the breathing to take up more oxygen, so we produce more alveoli cells, which will help the body to deliver more oxygen to the cells. It is a totally normal response. These extra cells are unfortunately called cancer cells. So now, we have so many people developing lung cancer because so many people are frightened to death and we are creating these extra cells, they are marked as extra cells so the body when it tries to get rid of these extra cells when the stress is over it will have no problem finding them, and recognizing them that these are extra cells, they can be broken down again once we no longer need them.

So what happens is that, the stress induced will be like the diagnosis that I have received, will cause me to produce these extra cells, they can proliferate, they may start developing into big tumor and once I am settling down and saying “well I believe they are other ways to heal this”, So I am starting to get hope, the death fright is diminishing. During the death fright I cannot sleep I wake up like twenty times in the night and start worrying what am I going to do? What is going to happen to my family? I won’t be able to work, if I get treatments, then my hair is going to fall out and there so you start thinking about a thousand different things. Your digestive system doesn’t digest food under stress. The blood vessels in the gastrointestinal tracks constricts under stress when you produce the adrenaline and the cortisol and so on, so you are not, you are wasting away, that means the cells in the body don’t get enough nutrients, maybe other cells will have to be created in order to create the nutrients efficiently, then you get secondary cancer, it is not metastasizing from one place to another, but it is created in another place for the same reasons. It is a compensation mechanism. The body is setting itself up to deal with the duress, with the extreme difficult situation that the person undergoes physically and emotionally.

Now when someone comes along and says, “Well, you know, your diagnosis was wrong.” This happened to Susan Somers, Susan Somers wrote a book “Knockout” to give alternative approaches, provide alternative approaches, to see cancer, to view cancer, and to treat cancer, and there she mentioned me throughout her book because she approached me and asked me, “you know, your approach is so different than what you find in mainstream medicine, can I quote from your book because it is so unusual”, and so she felt that this was the truth, so she asked to contribute to her book.

When I saw that, when, let’s say, if I had the cancer and I read a book and said “oh my gosh, there are other ways to deal with this, and it’s not such a bad thing, cancer can also help me I am proud of myself and take the power back into my body.” and say “I can heal this, if I set the preconditions to heal, and the preconditions, the most important precondition to heal anything, is to remove the fear, or to become fearless, and what modern medicine unfortunately is doing, it is creating, inducing fear in the population. They recognize the symptom and say “you have got to be afraid of it and you got to fight it, because when it is endangering you or your life, you have to kill it you have to destroy it, before it destroys you,”

Richard Miller: so anyhow it must be that an idea or a theory that fear is the basis of our sincere action, and you know, from what you are saying, the thing is that is so exciting to me right now just coming to me now, is that our whole life is this way. You are speaking mostly of medicine and you are telling a fascinating story, also centered around cancer but, I think it would work with heart diseases and many, many other things, diabetes and, this story, really this story is all about relations, it is about being at your job, it is about politics, it is a fact that we believe that we are supposed to move from this position of anxiety and that we need to have enough weight on our shoulders and enough people raining down problems on us that we finally believe in enough anxiety and that we are going to end, so then all this energy is going on the same conceptual base which has created the problem and it is building this conceptual base which in one case is a cancer, in case is a heart disease, another case it is political unrest, or some terrible war like conditions in the Middle East or any kind of discord between humans, is all based on the fact that we believe we have to move from our real pressure point and that we have to build this conceptual base of discord to the maximum ,before it can get resolved and somehow it is a belief that that is going to help. Somehow that helps, that is the only way we will move, otherwise we will sit on the couch and be dead, I don’t know what…

Andreas Moritz: yes, you are bringing up one of the most important points that humanity ought to recognize and understand, we are not threatened by anything. Most people believe we are constantly under threat, but the negative situations that people experience, doesn’t matter what it is, related to medical issues, relationship issues, loss of a home, a job, or anything like that, not having enough money… so there are many issues that in “Lifting The Veil Of Duality” I went through most of them and showed that there is a another reason why these things happen to us. They are not there to destroy us, to harm us, but to enhance us. That negative things are actually just disguised as negative things, they are positive things, and when we try to get rid of the negative things, we are stuck with them…

Richard Miller: they are not really disguised even, they are neutral, it’s just us that is misinterpreting it, is it not?

Andreas Moritz: it is because it is our perception of what happens to us, and that determines whether it affects us positively or negatively. So if I, there are many people like that have the same experience let’s say two people travel to the airport and they are on the highway, and there is a traffic jam, and one person, he has a heart attack because he cannot cope with the idea that he is missing this crucial meeting that he has to attend to in New York City, and so the other person taking the same flight, and he is not going to make it either, and he says ‘wow, I really don’t really feel like traveling today, I am happy that I am going to miss my flight,’ and he is turning on the radio and says “aah! I was waiting for this piece of music to hear that song thirty years ago,” and he is calm as a, he is just so happy about it. So, two people respond to the same situation in two different ways.

When I wrote “Lifting the Veil of Duality” something happened to me. I woke up one morning and I could not believe it. Every time I was listening to the news or some negative news came up, or I was thinking about something terrible, like an earthquake or even World War II, I thought, these things were just horrific, and then I immediately as I was thinking that I had images and words that were spoken to me, or I got information intuitively, I saw the immediate opposite counterpart to that particular event, and I could no longer find anything negative. I tried as hard as I could, I could not find anything negative that has happened in the past, in the history of mankind, or that is currently happening, and so I was in that stage, sort of an higher state of consciousness for quite a long time before it sort of balanced, not disappeared, it never really disappeared, and stayed with me up to this day and I wrote the book I think eight years ago, and so it’s a pretty long time I am saying this to and you know strange condition

Richard Miller: so you are saying that you don’t see the negative side, well of course you could, I can say it but you don’t believe in it, right? In another words, you can see that like an arbitrary description, or what are you saying exactly?

Andreas Moritz: for example take it to the extremes, I grew up in Germany and when I grew up in Stuttgart which was a bombed out city, and at age two years I was driving through the city and I saw these walls with no, with just some windows, smashed windows, and it was no house to it, just walls that were basically bombed out homes, or houses, and high buildings, and so I couldn’t understand what happened, why would anyone destroy these homes, and so as I grew up, obviously and I realized what happened, and I learned in school that the Germans were, are, creating World War II, and they were basically bombed in by the enemy and then they created these terrible things and that the Germans are creating these concentration camps where they slaughtered millions of Jews, so here I saw something terrible, when I had this uplifting experience before I started writing “Lifting the Veil of Duality” in the back seat of a car driving through California, I was just scribbling, within two days I had basically written the entire book, I just came out of me, I didn’t think about writing it just happened and so it was a really channeled experience and what I came out is that, World War II, and this is how I saw it and that you can take it any way you want but it doesn’t matter to me because that was my experience, I saw World War II, I saw the bombing and the many people dying like thousands of people sometimes at a time, either in concentration camps or being bombed by those fighter planes, and I saw so many souls and I literally saw them taken out of their bodies. So I was transferred into 1943, 1942, 1944 and I saw these groups of individuals lifting away from their bodies and I saw happy faces! Like they showed me smiles on their faces and collectively they told me that this was a very important experience for them. They told me, and I had flashed back so, many individuals at the same time I could see where they originally came from, I saw past lives of theirs where they slaughtered others, like I saw Armenians, they are being killed by these very same individuals, and I saw that karmically this was a very good way for them to balance an old account, an unfinished business, collectively, I saw that behind them there was a dark cloud of ugliness that was stress, collective stress, pain, suffering that the earth had experienced for a long, long time and it didn’t have an outlet, it didn’t have a relief valve, it didn’t have a way to unburden itself of that and these individuals helped to lift that collective stress and it showed that dark cloud, that ugly looking cloud, and it took off and I saw it high in a different dimension like a hole or in an opening, a portal, where there was lights streaming in and they all merged with that light and it was so beautiful that I could not think of the dying experience or these people are dying as something negative, and they, they showed that beautiful radiant radiance that emanated from that, and then they, then I asked the question and collectively I received the answer “why is this all happening? Why do you do this?” And then they showed me a sort of, like when you have a video and you fast forward and you go very quickly and you see the event in the future basically of that particular film, so you skip everything in between and you see the next things so, what they showed me was World War III and I saw nuclear bombs going on, I saw these mushroom clouds everywhere, and I saw that, and then they said “that’s why we have to have World War II to prevent World War III, if we didn’t do what we were doing here collectively and individually as to balance our feeling of guilt of having harmed other people in other lifetimes, then World War III would not have been prevented, and that would have destroyed the entire world”, so here I couldn’t and see I didn’t wake up in the morning with the intention ‘let me find out all the positive things behind negative things’ I just happened to think about it and then I saw this whole thing open up in front of me like in a movie.

Richard Miller: something like that happened to me this morning maybe, actually without much belief in it but I mean I was just thinking about you and thinking about talking to you and thinking about cancer, and I did say that I never had cancer, so but I mean to provocative title kind of grabbed me, but my mother did have cancer, cancer of the colon, and this morning I just realized in a way cancer was a savior, because she was just having a very suffering life and there was no way out, and everyone has to find a way out and something about her was hanging, and the moment, ok she had cancer for maybe some years but she only found about it much later, and the moment she found out about it boom her whole life was like a drop, you know…

Andreas Moritz: and that’s when the death fright kicks in. There is actually studies, there are studies and I cite them in my cancer book, that autopsies have shown that they are 40, among the people that died and have an autopsy done on them, they die from accidents or other causes and over 40 or 42 or so per cent and maybe much, much more because you don’t have so many people to test on them, they found that close to half of the people have tumors, cancerous tumors in their body but they never ever died from that. So is cancer really killing us, or is the diagnosis of cancer, the death fright killing us?

Richard Miller: right, right I was just saying like ok, I just had this other view like cancer was a savior in that case because it made a way to get out just like you were telling the story about this vision you had.

Andreas Moritz: Again, we are so terrified of death. Doctors are trying to prevent death at every cost, even if it causes extreme suffering in the individuals and it’s not worth it, because there is nothing wrong with death, there is anything frightening about death if you ever died. I died three times, so I know how it is. I had malaria that was the longest time I was dead. I was dead for eight minutes, and suffered from malaria lying in New Delhi in India, and the fever so high, I refused to take medication to lower the fever, because I knew I was about to have a fantastic experience, and I had died two times before so I wasn’t scared about that. So I let it go, and doctors were already putting me away and then I woke up again. But I didn’t wake up; I was awake all the time. I, there was never a loss of awareness, and I moved into a state of total clarity where everything made sense. Everything I was thinking of, and I could think a thousand things at the same time, it was absolutely unbelievable, and that you have such immense clarity there is no….

Richard Miller: in a way you are not thinking of a thousand things you are just seeing them or knowing them, and the thinking process is what slows you down maybe…

Andreas Moritz: exactly, and so it is an intuitive knowingness of everything that is relevant, and so, and the closeness to everyone, it’s like the love bond doesn’t have, its like not one side of the bridge to the other side, it is oneness, it just feels so one with the things that you are intuiting, or that you are perceiving, that you have no fear, and when you die, it is the most beautiful thing because you don’t lose anything, you don’t even feel like you are dropping the body. You are still yourself, and you still have all the capacity, except it is much more rich, much more beautiful and enchanting, and so it’s just euphoria, and so when I came back into the body I was pushed, pulled back into the body, it was gruesome, so I felt, I imagined that being born is more like dying. The dark channel, canal, during the birth and then you start crying, say ‘why in the world do I have to get born here’ because right before you are born you are aware, and you are knowledgeable of everything, you know who you are, and then you lose everything, you start from scratch. Like you have no idea, and you don’t even know how to say anything yet, except ‘ahhh’ you know!

Richard Miller: you know for some reason we are here you know, for some reason we are here, and I don’t know like I, maybe its arbitrary but maybe I chose to honor that and just say ok, if there is a purpose to it and some reason I am here and I am going to give it a go, and I know it doesn’t at this age years fly by so quick and I am not really worried about it, they will be gone in a flash.

Andreas Moritz: so what would, I am trying to get to is that, if we were able to accept the situations that happened to us, just accept them without passing judgment, whether it’s a good one or bad one, just accept it for the time being, there would be no suffering because we would recognize that every negative things has a positive counterpart. We would also realize that negative things are non-existent. They don’t exist, because when you think of it, an angry person, and he says well this person is way angry today. There is no such thing as anger because anger is merely the absence of happiness, if the person were really happy, truly happy, he would not be able to be angry. It would be absent, right? So anger doesn’t exist because it’s defined by the absence of its positive reason, of its positive counterpart, so likewise, there is no sadness or depression, because sadness is absence of joy, if a person who is joyful cannot be sad at the same time, it’s either, or so when sadness is there it’s merely because there is no joy, it’s absence of joy.

Richard Miller: in a way I have always been looking it the other way around not always but lately saying that ok anger and sadness are both activities in a way but joy and happiness are not activities, they are maybe our na…, and if that’s the truth that would mean that’s our natural state and there is no such things as happiness there is no such thing as joy, there is no such thing as truth, there is no such thing as peace, there is no such thing like there is no darkness, there is only the absence of light…

Andreas Moritz: because you see, we, when we talk about these like anger and happiness or dark and light, we are talking about the duality about life.

Richard Miller: we objectify both of them right?

Andreas Moritz: yes, and so it’s like a pendulum. One end of the pendulum it’s dark and the other one its light or here we are right and here we are wrong; and here we are good and here we are bad; and this is happiness and this is anger; and this is sadness and this is joy; and this is fear and this is love, so we have always opposites, but if you imagine the pendulum rests in the middle, you are in a state of neutrality and you are both, you can be both, joyful and sad at the same time and it doesn’t make a difference. You are not caught up by them, you are not attached to either of them but you can be both, and you don’t have a problem being both.

Richard Miller: well in that case they are both together all the time right, but somehow our focus goes one way or the other but I mean how can there be happiness without the sadness otherwise, the whole, it comes down as a, how do you call it, like a scale, you know.

Andreas Moritz: right, exactly and there we do need contrast to be on this planet because there is dark and light, we can’t really say that half of the world be in darkness right now “all those poor people, darkness is so bad and so there is suffering!” but darkness gives rise to light. Its contrast, but if you know anything about darkness, it doesn’t exist they are no photons of darkness. There are photons of light, so the sun is giving us the light, but darkness is the absence of light, so if we don’t like the darkness, we can turn on the light, and that’s all we need to know.

So in order to lift through life, we don’t have to fight the things that don’t even exist, anger doesn’t exist, evil doesn’t exist, sadness doesn’t exist, we don’t have to fight them, but what we’re doing in life, and that brings us to your original question here, we are fighting things that don’t exist, instead of fighting these things that don’t really exist like darkness, we can bring in the second element, turn on the light, focus on being grateful for what we have, because when we are grateful for what we have we become, we draw more towards, the same things the same things towards us, if we are focusing on creativity rather than on the goal of creativity like fulfilling let’s say ‘next year I want to make 500,000 dollars, just focus on the joy of creating which makes you fulfilled rather than looking forward to something that may never happen, could happen, and get stressed over if it doesn’t happen, and so we are making our lives miserable simply because we are not able to accept the blessings that we already have and the blessings sometimes come in disguise of negative events.

When Jesus Christ said ‘love your enemies’, he made a point, he said ‘love your enemies’ which in a translation really means love your adversities, love the things you don’t like, love the diseases that you are suffering from, because it feels do, you are in the acceptance mode, you are inviting these enemies into your home, and when these enemies are in your home, and you feed them and you cherish them and you care about, then they become your best friends.

Richard Miller: that’s when you realize that they don’t exist, right? Because it just came to me when you said fighting things that don’t exist, in a way that is the act of creation. You are creating the evils and well, it’s also grasping, the act of grasping things that you think your desires is the act of creating desires, but they don’t exist either.

Andreas Moritz: no, life is like a river and it takes twists and turns and it sometimes goes left, sometimes right but the river doesn’t complain, maybe it’s a left handed river and just doesn’t like right turns, but that’s just an artefact of our imagination, there is nothing wrong about going down when the wave is going up, it has to come down, and if the wave doesn’t come down then it cannot go up again so, life is made of opposites but we don’t have to participate in the opposites, we can be in the middle.

It’s just like being in the equator, and you when you are there, you no longer influenced by the south pole, the magnetic force, and the north pole, you are in the middle, you are suspended in the middle, and neither of them have any power over you. So, in a way, you can enjoy both the north and the south while being there, and have the best form of ultraviolet radiation which is found to be preventing people from multiple sclerosis and cancer, you have the lowest skin cancers and other types of cancer, and multiple sclerosis and diabetes and heart disease and osteoporosis in the equator area, because people have multiple exposure.

So what we are doing on our planet we are vilifying the sun and saying it’s a terrible thing because it causes cancer, even though it’s been proved that most people develop who skin cancer are the indoor people, they hardly ever have exposure to the sunlight. So we are turning things that are not really the enemy, we are turning them into the enemy, and then we are trying then we are pumping people full of drugs because the body no longer makes vitamin D to sustain its immune system, so now we are taking drugs to suppress infections so the body can no longer clean itself, can no longer purify and heal itself, and so it’s like that with everything.

We are looking at a problem, economic problem, and we are fighting it, so we are treating those symptoms, we are bailing out big large corporations that have sort of have overgrown, they are just no longer sustainable and so we are creating another problem because of bailing them out, we create another problem so suddenly out of one problem we have made hundreds of problems and so then the problem becomes so big that we are forced to let go.

When we lose something in life we only lose it because it’s in our best interest to lose it so that something else can come in to replace it and if we hang on to what we are losing we are not just not getting the new, because life is evolving after all, we are not only getting the opportunity to create something new, we are dying with what is disappearing and so we are suffering because we are hanging on, we are attached to what is already long overdue to be lost.

If a person loses a job and is becoming depressed over it because he is saying “Oh my god! Something terrible is happening to me I am losing something!” You cannot lose anything that is not already useless for you.

So it is part of the growth and if we hang on to it and we are terrified of losing it, the new thing cannot evolve. We cannot open a new door because we are still hanging on to the old door that is about to shut, and so this is true for every event. There are no problems, there are no …

Richard Miller: I would like to kind of set up an image and then ask a question and maybe it’s like when you said the new door and the old door well these two doors are like conceptual doors right, they are concept or corporation or you know when you are closing the door on a large corporation you said maybe it’s over, it’s a concept right and then we open another concept another corporation is falling and letting them fall which we never would before or basically what we are saying from before, we were saying, the way we believe to cure the world, to cure our lives is to pour energy into the situation which we call a problem, ok well that problem is a conceptual, it’s like a, it’s a concept, it’s a description, it’s an interpretation and the image I want to set up is just the everything in the world is such a marvelous diversity, I mean, you could just start to say like, physically, I mean when people say there is no two snowflakes that are the same there is such a diversity, there’s no two humans that are the same, there’s no two tress that are the same, there is so much of a diversity and I just make this up I don’t know if it’s true or not but let’s just say, within this diversity everything comes and manifests in its full range, in its full glory, so that means like from the most complicated to the most simple, from the most rudimentary up to…, so basically, I don’t want to give too many examples on that, like healthy tree or a sick tree, or a, but let’s just go to a human thought forms and say that the most simple thought forms are the most simple concepts are just like “I exist”, “me and the other” or “me and you” and that would be the very most simple and then the most complicated would be all kinds of world analyses and scientific discovery and all kinds of stories about you know, it might even be about astrology or how the planets affect us, or you know, it gets really, really complicated and I just want to say ok let’s say that these concepts are somehow like a totem pole, you know what comes to my mind is that like Middle Eastern meat, I think its gyros or something, like these things that go around and it starts small and then it goes big and so it’s like this totem pole but these are mental forms, these are our concepts, and what we are used to is like we are living at one level of these things, and we have certain amount of concepts and somehow these concepts turn sour, or we are going to call, ok this one is a problem, and we pour in more and more energy into these concepts and so what we usually do is somehow, okay here is this totem pole of these concepts from the most simple to the most complicated, somewhere we enter in the middle and we try to explain something, give the cause and effect and what to do about it, and here we are, but we are resting on all these lower concepts and saying okay we accept these as reality. Now I want to ask you like what is this non duality or what is duality or what are we talking about but let’s try to enter this hotdog so we are down low and not enter up too high where we have a lot of stories to accept and just say like, I mean can we simplify it and just strip away a lot of the concepts and just say what the heck is this things and what is life really all about?

Andreas Moritz: yes that’s probably one of the most important and beautiful questions that one can ask, because you will ultimately come to a point as quantum physics relates to as unified field of natural law, and so you will find that nature doesn’t, like trees and animals, we know the ecological system that works in synergy, and doesn’t work against itself even if it includes that some are the predators that are killing others to keep the ecological balance intact so we even have forest fires and that make sure that new forests are become invigorating, that new growth is possible. So we learn that everything that was different, all the differences have an underlying current or an underlying field that unites it all, and that’s where everything is synchronized with everything else and that’s where humans, even though on the surface as individuals that have a physical body, we are separated from one another but we also are more than just physical bodies, we have consciousness. And consciousness cannot be divided, it cannot be put into categories, it cannot be sliced up because consciousness is one, and so there is an underlines oneness that coincides with that oneness that quantum physics describes where there is a zero point energy, where all the energies that are creating everything are consolidated and one, and it’s not something that just happens on this planet, now we are connected on a level with everything else, or every life form that exists outside our little universe called earth, and we realize that there is a larger, there is a larger life everywhere and there is an interest that what happens on this planet will help to facilitate new life forms on other planets as well and that’s why you know the whole UFO talk and the conference that just happened that shows, clearly proves, that people that were involved in concealing that UFO or alien life form exists, now is actually recognizing it and confirming it and proving that it exists, and so it bring these things to the forefront of our awareness to realize that we are not alone here and so we are just the tiny speck in the life forms but the universe just as such is so extremely complex yet on an another level is the simply thing that can exists it holds everything together, all the  atoms that are making up our body, all the atoms the almost infinite number of atoms that make the molecules and the molecules making the cells in our body and the cells making the organs and the blood and the brain, and so everything that we are physically finds itself to be sub atomic particles that make up these atoms, and the sub atomic particles are basically fields of energy and information, there is no physical matter underlying it all, but it is a field and that field is merging with everyone else’s field. So in reality we, you and I and the animals and the air that we breathe in and the birds that sing, we are all one and so we cannot divide ourselves, we cannot separate ourselves from anything.

So the events that we call situations in life, circumstances, relationships, our economic growth of lack thereof, health, the treatment of disease, all of that is irrelevant on that level because we cannot be touched by limitations, any kind of limitation when we share that oneness with one another, that’s why we can function. So the quest to discover who we are, of who we are not like finding any treasure or finding something else but being who we are, accepting who we are, if we have the courage to accept ourselves, like if I accepted myself exactly the way I am right now with all my flaws, my mistakes, my shortcomings, the weaknesses, the guilt that I may have because I have done this and this to someone, my neighbor or my friend or whatever, if I were to accept myself exactly the way that I am, I am able to accept everyone else around me. So all we need is really ourselves, our relationship with ourselves and not try to improve on it, not to try to change it but to accept it. That’s why when Jesus said “love your enemy, love thy neighbor as thy loveth thyself,” you can only love your neighbor if you love yourself and that means you can only love yourself when you also love the weaknesses, the shortcomings, your mistakes, if you can make mistakes and enjoy making mistakes… every time I make a mistake I celebrate, because I know that the mistakes are part of my truth finding… my discoveries.

When I was 12 years old I was given one year to live and so I suffered from a varied numbers of severe illnesses and I looked for help like everyone else, and doctors couldn’t help me so I had to give up the idea that I can improve myself because nobody else could, and the moment I did that and I let go of the trying, when I accepted what happened, that suddenly I had intuition come into me, that’s when things opened up so oh maybe I should do this I never tried that before, I stop eating animal protein and it worked for me. It may not work for everyone but it worked for me, and so by this…

Richard Miller: let me say a few things because there is so much material here it is going down the river and I got to grab some of it, but one of them is, ok like there are predators and a lot of people are puzzled why there is seems to be injustice in the animal kingdom and there’s predators and there’s weak ones that get eaten and stuff like that, I would just remind everyone that all of life, all of sentient beings have a mouth and it’s attached to another sentient being somewhere and that’s just life, that’s just it, and whether you want to call that just or unjust, or it could be done better or worse, anyhow, and that that is simple it. One thing I wanted to say is like, we are talking about our confusion of our physical body being separate, and we may know that and we may not, may be we don’t know that, and then other people talk about you are not your body, you are not your mind, as if people are confused that I am this individual body but I would say that nobody is confused that they are the body, that they don’t even know what the body is. They are only confused that the concept of the body and they are all working on this is my body, and it’s like a language type, its only. It’s actually only appears in humanity because humans are the only one that had this level of language and this level of concepts and it doesn’t really appear that a wolf says I am my body or I am forgetting that I am not a part of nature, I am just this individual wolf, and I wanted to say something about acceptance too, because acceptance, in a way is an, when you said it to your truth finding, you are acceptance but still you are in this what should I call it this hotdog, this gyros, you are in the middle of these concepts somewhere and your truth finding is going down or up in these concepts and I am not saying they are there, and that’s how this life manifests with those concepts and they seem to verify themselves and all that, so that they show up, and then sometimes we are able to make a jump in our conceptuals or they kind of fall apart or few of them just deconstruct and we have a new life open up for us, but I am just saying like let’s try to enter in that concept thing as low as we can I mean people try to do it with meditation and stuff like that but they still have the concept that this meditation is going to get me somewhere, but they are trying to go, let’s just I don’t know, this we are all in this conceptual mesh as human beings, now these are the life forms that you are talking about are they, are they suffering the same limitations or what’s up with them?

Andreas Moritz: well, a different kind of limitations. You saw the, like I am talking a lot to people that have crossed over and they give you a lot of information about, information that we don’t have direct access to very often times, there are many beings, we call angelic beings, they are basically rays of light, angles of light, angle of light, that’s where the name of angels come from and so they have particular frequency, very high frequencies, sort of very, very pure beings, most people think that beings can only exist if they have physical body but that’s not true.

 So the vast majority of beings and there are trillions of beings they don’t need the physicality of the physical body, or they have the ability to shape shift they can become any appearance they want to, they are beings out there that travel through extended beings they have to extend themselves into spacecrafts. So when beings come out of space they have a space ship, this space ship is not like a machine that we refer to, like when we are flying an airplane, as if the airplane is of course separate from us, but for them, the airplane or the space craft is an extension of themselves and it responds to their mind, so they can change the spacecraft just by thinking we make it disappear, we lift its frequency it cannot be seen by earthlings, or it becomes something else, so it can literally create a different shape, so there are many different possibilities and technologies available to other beings, but one of things that many of these civilizations miss is and that’s why they are observing us so closely is the ability to have ‘human emotions’ and emotion is considered like the ultimate treasure of these beings.

So many of the pure beings, whether they are from other universes or solar systems, or whether they are angelic beings that don’t carry a physicality to them, many of them want to actually be born as human beings ,and many of the alien beings are actually here, they have birthed themselves through the normal birthing process and they are now here, they remember who they are and so, I have found a lot of them, I see them, when I talk to them they recognize that there is a connection. I personally remember also the places where I came from, so it’s something that nobody has to believe, anyone can make up these things, but for me that is my truth, and if someone believes in it, it doesn’t matter to me if someone doesn’t believe, it doesn’t matter to me either.  And so ….

Richard Miller: ….so it’s interesting that you said like just by their minds they can make a spaceship or they can make themselves into a, into a, let’s call it a vehicle, or let’s just call it a wave that just can go around the universe or whether they need to or not, or maybe they just project themselves on, but what we said was mind, so then, that’s part of this totem pole that we are talking about that has, it actually is conceptual too, and so then the juicy part of our lives is the fact that we are this physical body and can feel things which we are basically feeling our thoughts and our believes and that’s kind of, like, to be celebrated then …

Andreas Moritz: it is because now we know that because our life on earth is very much connected with the experience of duality. That means opposites, and these opposites provide contrasts. Imagine a world that is just lit up all the time. There is just sun, there is just light, but there is no experience of death because shadow is not formed. We know when the sun is trying to set how beautiful it can get, right?

Richard Miller: right.

Andreas Moritz: and the darkness sets, and so the contrast, the depth of objects is only possible because there is shadow. There is its opposite. The opposite to life, and so if we vilify the negative things, then we lose the purpose of the experience, it’s not all that valuable and therefore we are stuck with the notion that we are threatened, but in truth, life is never threatening, and its only our perception of it is threatening, and so when a person experiences something terrible, like he is going through cancer, I usually encourage the person to see the positive reason why it happens, and it changes everything. Like when you read “Cancer Is Not A Disease” I get a lot of feedback from people who have cancer or had cancer who read my books it took their fear away of cancer. They say “wow! I get it! It’s actually something positive, it can change my entire life!” and many confirmed that that had cancer, like a very good friend of mine she was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer a little over a year ago and so I did not talk about the cancer because it’s irrelevant. What is relevant is to get joy back into your life. So I said focus on this, get out in the sun, get a lot of vitamin D, go for walks, have good great food, make some changes with your sleeping habits and start cleansing a little bit.. your liver.. so that your insides feel good too, and so she did all that of course there is no cancer, after three months there was no trace of the cancer, completely gone, as if it never was there, and so it happens all the time.

But if you focus on all the things that is negative and say no, I use that as an opportunity to further myself, to grow stronger in areas where I have not been strong enough, where I have been weak, where I have denounced myself, where I have judged myself, and so by picking up that particular event and turning it into something useful, it removes the fear of it.

So now she has no fear of cancer, she has no fear of dying either, so there is no death fright, so her system is not collapsing because she is not terrified anymore ,and so she has turned something that was potentially threatening into something that is extremely uplifting and she is the happiest person. She looks twenty years younger, she is seventy-two, and she is so happy she has no wrinkles on her face, she looks like a young girl.

Richard Miller: that is just what we were saying in the beginning like we are trying to make every solution in an anxiety based way. And you are just saying that there is no solution and an anxiety based solutions are all false, and they just suffering and somehow she has discovered that.

Andreas Moritz: and it is good for us to sink, to fall. You remember when we were toddlers, and we were trying to walk and when we fall on our rear, behind, and we start crying “oh! It’s disappointing to fall”, you trying to walk and you can’t keep yourself on your feet, and so you try again and then you try again fall again. Every time you fall you learn how to get up a little more and to be more, you learn how to be more steady on your feet. And so as you grow,  in age, and you start learning how to walk, and then you are able to run and you run fast, so each stage of growth is inflicted with failure and disappointment but each disappointment makes you stronger, more self-confident because you get up again and so after a while you are no longer afraid of failing and that is called self-confidence. Self-confidence means no longer being afraid of failing. Even if you fail, it’s not diminishing your self-confidence.

Richard Miller: maybe we have a whole different definition of failure. We don’t define it anymore like that.

Andreas Moritz: failure is good. Because, let’s say, you were looking for your mother, “Mom is going to help me, preventing me from falling,” that person will not develop self-confidence because throughout life he will look for someone else to hold him up. To keep them straight, to keep them on their feet, and if you do that you become a victim, because if something happens to you and your mother is not there to save you, then you feel like ‘oh my god I am not in control, I am completely helpless’, but this is just an illusion, and so education has contributed to that, in that, it points out, it divides us, it literally says there is a part of you that is bad and the other one is good, and it divides us by emphasizing learning things by heart, use your left brain, when most of the emphasis in life is based on using your right brain. The right brain access allows us to access our heart, the emphasis is on the left brain, it is just to think about things and analyze them and then correct the flaws, but that takes us away from the solutions because the left brain computes 15 bytes per second there is nothing happening to resolve problems when we use the left brain, it’s the right brain has the allows us to compute 1.5 million cycles per second. So it has a lot more energy flow to it. It allows us to connect through our hearts…

Richard Miller: what did you say 15 bytes and 1 and a half million or??

Andreas Moritz: million….

Richard Miller: and the other one is only 15 fifteen???

Andreas Moritz: 15 bytes per second

Richard Miller: Oh my god! Thoughts are pretty slow, you know.  But that is the whole where everything is born, division is born, so that we can simplify and just look at one part of this at a time, and maybe make a series about that I guess?

Andreas Moritz: why do so many kids fail at school? Because they are programmed to use their left brain to remember things by heart that 99 % of the things they would never even remember when they are adults, or use, for that sake. And so education is not stimulating our creative juices which is the right brain based, so it is connecting to our own hearts, so we are disassociating ourselves from our own being who we are, our heart, and so we are learning to become heartless, and we are learning how to not trust our heart, to not trust our instincts or intuition, we are learning to only to trust our rational mind, and so here we are, treating a conflict, a conflict of the individual that within themselves they are part of, you can trust some part where you cannot trust the other.

So here we create the … divisive individuals, people that are split, and that’s what our educational institutions instill. Now that is part of our age of ignorance, so we are creating that, so that we eventually use all of those negative, so called negative trends, and create their opposite counterpart, the deeper the darkness is re-entering, the more dark the ignorance is, the more light we can start bringing in, because opposites attract each other. So we are, I am not vilifying the negative trends – the economic trends, the educational trends, the healthcare disaster that we are experiencing because the worse it gets, the more powerful and the more increased the influx of light and knowledge will be, true knowledge, so we are setting ourselves up for a massive transformation where the negative events in life become so extreme that the pendulum will have reached its extreme level and it will swing back and it will integrate the opposite counterparts, so that’s where suddenly we will find technologies that will be completely different, as a new…

Richard Miller: let me ask a question because you know like we have a certain audience or we have a certain heritage or our roots, we call it non duality or there is a word called Advaita which means something from India, I think, and you have a big experience in that, as far as I understand…

Andreas Moritz: of India. Yeah.

Richard Miller: yes. And so here is the question like I made this image okay and I said okay everything on earth manifests in a wide through a wide maximum range and I choose to talk about language, conceptual language and actually kind of like duality or like explanations or interpretations, let’s say, an interpretation could be the simplest simplest or the most complex and I am saying like is there a way where we can go down and get simpler so that we don’t have to stand on so many images and so my like, we don’t have to trust so many of our interpretations are true or correct, we can just go underneath the appearance and go say well what about underneath there, so then maybe what I am trying to suggest or maybe what some of these advaita people who are our listeners are trying to suggest is that there is a place where mind doesn’t exist or where mind is encapsulated inside a being-ness, I don’t know if that’s true or not, and I am not saying that we should live there or anything like that, because it’s almost like when you were saying that we are embodied and  at birth might be our death, and I said I am well I guess I am here so that must be for some reason, so I am just going to accept it and go with it, and so okay I would say the same thing, I live in a sea of concepts and they manifest for me and I and its happening and so I guess that’s part of life and so I am going to go, I am not trying to say discard that stuff but I am saying, is there a place or is non-duality, something a real low in this totem pole where there is no concepts, or is there a place where there is no concepts and there is just connection, there is not even connection anymore, just everything exists and being-ness is there and there is no labels, no titles, no overlays, no… is there such a place like that, or is that part of a life, because much of what you have been saying is also story based, you know, coz you are like saying okay you saw all the German people dying in a vision, and they were avoiding World War III and that is kind of, like a very mental, maybe it came to you that way and that’s fine, I mean, I am not saying anything about that, but I mean what is this advaita, a lot of baloney or what?

Andreas Moritz: no I, avidya which means ignorance, vidya means knowledge so Avidya is against or anti knowledge so this the ignorance, it’s a very important to experience because once you have ignorance you can evolve through knowledge, to vidya, so avidya becomes vidya and through the path of ignorance we discover what we are not, literally we discovering who we are not, and if we find out we are not this, we are not the body, we are not our relationships, we are not the job we hold, we are not the expert that we pretend to be…

Richard Miller: basically we are not our concepts.

Andreas Moritz: yeah, we are not extensions or the concepts that we have of ourselves, we don’t have an identity per se. Because we can change the identity, so tomorrow I can instead of being an author I can be a gardener.

Richard Miller: just through that new concept right?

Andreas Moritz: so suddenly I am a different.  So what IS me? Who is me? If it can change all the time, who am I then? And the question that is answered simply by the question because ‘I’ is what associates itself so many things but the ‘I’ will always be the same. But as soon as I say ‘I am this’ then I am lost in the experience ‘I am a doctor’ but if I say ‘I am’ that’s it. So in a way

Richard Miller: I am everything. Right?

Andreas Moritz: or I can be anything. But I prefer not to be so I just remain ‘I am’ and so I remain my consciousness. So the consciousness, the conscious being that I am, can associate with many different concepts or identifications and say ‘I am a doctor, I am a lawyer, I am a movie star, I am nothing’. I can be, I can associate myself with ‘I am a failure’, I can so make up all this, so none of them are true. Because that’s not who I am, it’s like telling the sap of the tree what it becomes, a sap of the tree can become a leaf, it can become a fruit, it can become a branch, it can become part of the stem of the tree, it can become part of the roots of the tree, so it becomes all these different things but it is the sap is still sap. It is still something that is not manifested yet. So we are both. We are the unmanifest transcendent stage of the ‘I – ness: I am’ – and then I can also become all those different things the branches, the leaves, the fruit and the roots. So both is true. And there is no untruth of life. So everyone speaks the truth, but it’s on their level and the truth is depending on what stage of consciousness you are, if you say I am a lawyer you are absolutely right, if you are one. If I am a saying something about what I am that’s the truth, too, if I say I saw those individuals dying and siphoning, and taking off, siphoning off the negative collective stress from the planet, and saving us from World War III, then that is the truth too. Now someone says the opposite, that’s their truth as well, so there is no level of non-truth, there is just degrees of insights that are totally irrelevant on the level of ‘I am’, on the level of …

Richard Miller: yeah we want to say, I guess, just because we are minds we want to say, well ‘I am’ is the greater truth because it’s got the more options, you know, and can I ask you like what is the experience of ‘I am’, is there an experience to it or it doesn’t it even register? Does it have to have a content in order to register?

Andreas Moritz: as soon as you have an experience, you are outside it. Transcendence by definition is the state of being; you are not being something, so if you have an experience, you are outside. So I taught meditation for twenty five years and helped people to go into that state of transcendental consciousness or beyond the physicality of the experience where you are totally disassociated from your physical body, from your senses, you have no thought, you have no feeling, you are just you. You are being, without being something else, and it’s a very blissful state. It’s not that you experience happiness, you are happiness, you are that bliss, you are that total satisfaction and fulfillment, it’s like, you cannot compare it, that’s why Jesus Christ had such great difficulties describing heaven to people because you cannot describe it, because there is no description, it is outside experience, it is just a state of transcendental being. Now the purpose of it is not to go beyond the little dance, forget the world, the purpose of experiencing that state is to integrate it with your daily experiences of thinking, laughing, you’re sweating, you’re talking whatever, it is the integration, that means you are in that state of being where you can also have thoughts, feelings, emotions and experiences, and relationships and joy and sadness and everything, and you are not losing yourself in those experiences and that is the purpose really of your self-discovery if that were, it’s pretty misleading because you are not discovering yourself, you  are the one that makes a discovery, the ‘I’, so in a way there is no journey of self-discovery people, I lived in India and I had gurus and I worshipped and I tried to get though meditation to that state of enlightenment until I realized that you are already there before you started that journey, and you don’t have to look outside yourself to find it, you cannot find yourself because the moment you try to find yourself, you have a concept of who you are going to find, and you are lost, you are basically are lost to yourself, you cannot, it’s the learning or the acceptance of who you are that takes you instantly to the state of enlightenment because then you realize you can be imperfect, you can be weak, you can be this, but you have no judgment of it, you accept yourself the way you are, and that puts you into the space of being. Being-ness.

Richard Miller: you were talking about meditation and teaching meditation for many years, but the purpose of that is not to escape but to integrate that in your life, in other words if you find that bliss or you find that peace, then you can experience all these let’s call them pluses and minuses because we judge it, and then you still holding, you are not even holding, you are just centered in that peace in that but I mean is there actually, you taught mediation for 25 years, but is there a also teaching of integration or does integration just happen by itself, or is it, I mean, that seems to be the tricky part coz a lot of people will sit down on a cushion and say I love it, but they will not get back there, you know.

Andreas Moritz: it’s true. I have quite a few lifetimes that I remember as a monk. 5000 years ago I was walking with Buddha, the Buddha, and I actually I remembered looking into the eyes of the individuals that were lined up on the street, and I looked in their eyes and I told them what they needed to do, because they suffered from physical problems and I told them what herbs to take so I became a iridologist that was the thing I was most interested in, alternative medicine, when I came into this lifetime, I, as a child when I was six years old, my uncle who was a leading iridologist, he taught me how to read people’s eyes, and I didn’t need much training because I remembered how to do that. And so, but eventually I was so attracted to become a monk and so I remember a lifetime in a Tibetan monastery where I was totally, just indulged in meditation like all day long, and chanting, so that would take you into an altered state of mind into the transcendental state of consciousness or Samadhi and then that stage you would be completely disassociated from any physical existences, and it was fine, that’s what I needed to do, and eventually I desired to be born in the western world, because I felt something was missing, so I needed to lose myself completely, forget about mediation and everything and just be indulged in the capitalistic sort of experience..

Richard Miller: but in that lifetime did your high meditations integrate into your life too, coz we were saying that was the purpose?

Andreas Moritz: because I needed to create the contrast, so I needed to forget about everything spiritual and become just a superficial being. So I needed to have both experiences before I could integrate them, and then in this lifetime the integration took place, so part of it, I spend quite a lot of time meditating 10-12 hours day, I literally did that for a number of years and then I had to let it go, and so I am not meditating now and so integrated with the world of business or I had to learn to indulge myself in that so it became both, a spiritual being, being in a physical body, doing the worldly things while being involved in spiritual activities and dealing with disease, and dealing, and then developing the insights into what causes illness, and so that allowed me to become a more integrated being, so that’s why there are no untruths. Every experience is valid and every person that goes through certain things whether there is pressure or not, religious or non-religious or whatever. It’s a valid important experience for them, and they should not underpin it or undermine it or get rid of it. It’s a matter of accepting it, because once we accept those experiences, they become glorified, they become a part of the path of becoming integrated with the depths of our being, which is the infinite transcendent being. Once we are connected, once we accept, we also connect with it more, we connect with what is known as our higher self or the….

Richard Miller: you know you said it earlier we must be lost in order to be found, somehow that was an amazing thing that you, I don’t want to lose it one bit, I mean that was amazing.

Andreas Moritz: it is.

Richard Miller: that whole adage gives value to this whole life. Tremendous value.

Andreas Moritz: it gives value to everything. So we dismiss one experience we are not doing justice to us being here, and so everything is valuable. From one experience to the other, negative to the positive and everything in between and that’s how everything is synchronized with our purpose right now on this planet, and some of the purpose is individual, that we help certain things that we deal with our relationships and others are collective, because we are not here by accident, w e are here to facilitate a quantum leap that allows the planet itself to also integrate with its own transcendental state, because everything that exists has being-ness underlying it, and there is consciousness in everything, including the atoms that make up a stone, a rock, and they are sentient being-ness in everything…

Richard Miller: that bears repeating, you know, that really bears repeating it, that everything, the whole existence is sentient.

Andreas Moritz: it is, because otherwise quantum physics would obviously be useless. But there is energy and information in everything. Why would an atom, out of the blue, that you inhale the atom, somehow integrates to help form a brain cell that you can think with, and so this happens all the time. We have trillions of atoms zooming into our body and zooming out of our body constantly. We have electrons constantly moving in and out of the chair that you are sitting on. Constantly.  So there is change, we think that the chair is solid, that’s an illusion because there is nothing solid, there is nothing hard on this planet, it’s just because we don’t understand it or because we cannot feel how there is life in a piece of rock and it looks like it’s in the same place all the time, but the subatomic particles, they are constantly zooming in and zooming out of that rock, that means the rock gets recreated at every moment in time with an incredible amount of speed, with lighting speed, so there is nothing in the universe that is not constantly shifting and changing, it’s a movement, and if we are making the movements stagnant and we are saying that things are wrong, we are putting the stop sign on them.

Richard Miller: so the only thing that is stagnant or to only way to make that movement stagnant is to have a concept because a concept is stagnant. It doesn’t move, and that’s why it goes out of date and that’s why it feels bad because it doesn’t work and so then all the concepts are stagnant and that’s what our attempt with concepts is to make a, what should we call it, let’s just say, continuity, continuity is stagnancy.

Andreas Moritz: you are, yeah, you are right. It’s, as again it’s like that river and the river flows in varied directions and it doesn’t complain and there’s no effort in the river flowing, downhill or you turn left or right, it doesn’t complain, there is no complain in the planet, in our planet moving around the earth, there is no expenditure of energy or loss of energy and so the entire galactic systems, there is no complains. Nobody complains. The tree doesn’t complain that it has to move anti-gravity that it grows in the opposite direction. There is no effort involved in the creative process. But when we start holding up the stream and we say “oh the stream is, it’s a threat to my life” so and that you can apply to medicine, economics, anything, so as soon as we stand up and say ‘I don’t like what I see because I am afraid it can hurt me because I have learned from the beginning when I grew up there are bad things out there that can damage me, that can harm me’ and the moment you are putting yourself in that through that vulnerable position that you have to protect yourself and defend yourself, you become a magnet to attract offence. You will attract those very same things that you are afraid of.

Richard Miller: you know I want to just ask one thing because I kind of have an interest in Alzheimer’s, and if you would make some comments on Alzheimer’s.

Andreas Moritz: what question would you have about it?

Richard Miller: well I mean is it the same, that your system is kind of clogged up with excess protein, or I mean what? Is it all emotional? Is it stress based? I mean, is it similar?

Andreas Moritz: it’s a combination of things, and it’s varied from person to person, homocysteine levels are closely related to Alzheimer’s, the lower the homocysteine level that protein in the blood, the lesser risk you have. That’s physically spoken. But what I found… when I speak with a person or communicate with a person on a higher-self level, I get a different sense of information.

In some of these individuals, they just have a hard time to come to grips, of a certain situations in their life, they just want to blank out. They don’t what to know. They don’t want to touch certain experiences, they could not cope with certain experiences, so there is a lot of trauma that may have happened when they were younger, but whatever happens to us is recorded in our consciousness. Not in our brain. A brain merely expresses what our consciousness has known or knows. Our consciousness can never develop Alzheimer’s, only our brain. It’s almost like the, it’s like a radio broadcast. The broadcast is there but maybe the radio is not functioning very well, and you can no longer transmit the broadcast, so that the listener will understand it. So the listener will only get bits and pieces, and so our brain is like the radio station, it’s like the transmitter of what our consciousness knows, and in the Alzheimer’s stage, in the dementia state, there is nothing wrong with the consciousness, the person still computes everything perfectly well, but to express it though the radio station, or the brain, becomes more difficult. So now you have a contrast, you have a disconnect between the person trying to express what it feels and the other person who is listening like a child, like a daughter, so the person has no, is forgetting, no longer remembering that person, and the consciousness still does, so the person actually retreats from life without dying fully. What I found is that the soul many times leaves the physical body, is no longer in the physical body, and it is basically therefore disconnecting for the time being, and the outside person is saying “oh, person doesn’t remember me anymore”, It’s like nobody is in that person, it has to be Alzheimer’s.

Richard Miller: so then that means that the soul just comes and goes, you know, retreats, and comes and goes, if not went totally, it would be a death, right?

Andreas Moritz: exactly. So there is a partial withdrawal, like when my father died, he died three times before he finally left, he was brought back to life though pacemakers and some intervention, medical intervention, and the third time he died, his stomach was, he basically bled to death from the inside, he had been given antibiotics for a whole year but the first time he died, he described to me how he died and he went through a dark channels, like a dark tunnel type thing, and there was a lot of light flooding in and he was so attracted to the light, all he wanted was to get there, and there were beings and these beings talking to them and there was beautiful music that he had never heard before and the beautiful colors, and it was just so enchanting, so he was pulled in that direction, and suddenly he felt he was pulled back by a cord and he described that cord as a very thin cord, it wasn’t physical, but it was definitely a connection and that connection pulled him like a rope pulling him back into the physical body, and so that was pretty terrible, because his body was not healthy, and he felt like dying as he was pulled back, and so he said to me “if I really die physically, don’t worry about it, the place I am going is just phenomenal”, and so he made, he gave me confidence that, well, we shouldn’t mourn over his death because he is in a much better state and condition once he will have made the transition. So…

Richard Miller: is there a way to kind of like pull that person back, or like you know, like as long as they are alive, just to pull them back, or do you just let them come and go as they want, or how much of it is just a physical part of the debenture of the radio station, the brain going haywire?

Andreas Moritz: well in the face of, in the case of the Alzheimer’s, the condition, the thread, that cord is intact, and so a person is pulled back. It is not similar to what happens to us when we sleep, because when we move into deep sleep we literally are… get out of the body, we have an out of body experience. And we do a lot of things that we don’t remember, there are some dreams that give us some clues sometimes, because we meet people that we have not met before, or we have certain some kind of recall of certain experiences we don’t remember clearly, but there is certain things, experiences that we have, so people don’t realize that they are outside the body and they have those experiences… now in the case of Alzheimer, they enjoy being outside of the body more than being inside the body because the body is clogged up. The brain is so congested with lymphatic waste materials, the lymph drainage is not clearing properly and they have an inability to be fluent in their expression, so they more and more enjoy being outside the body and then sometimes they are more outside the body than inside the body. There is nothing wrong with that, it’s just again we vilify that experience, we don’t honor the experience and the choice that the person is making for themselves. Again, it’s our judgment which gets in the way, I personally don’t find fault with it, but if a person wants to reverse that, there are possibilities.

You clean out their system, you remove the heavy metals, particularly aluminum and mercury that these people accumulate in large amounts, you clean out their liver which allows the body to decontaminate the blood, and draw back or pull back those elements, toxins, waste materials, you put them out in the sun, so that they start making vitamin D, so that their gastrointestinal system, their cardiovascular system, and nervous system can repair themselves from any damage that may have occurred, because vitamin D controls 2000 genes that are closely involved with circulation, with cardiovascular functions, with the immune functions, and with repair mechanisms… that means healing responses in the body… and so there are many things one can do to get to the point of reversing this….

Richard Miller: you know about 5 or 6 years ago I went to a dentist and I had all my fillings removed and got all the amalgam out, but then I thought it would make a huge difference in my back pains and all kinds of things but really I didn’t feel any different whatsoever, I don’t know.

Andreas Moritz: I had chronic back problems and I never had fillings in my mouth because I didn’t have any sugar when I grew up, my mother just didn’t give us anything that had sugar in it, and that’s why I have all my teeth intact and I have all my wisdom teeth there, I don’t know whether they contribute to extra wisdom, but the wisdom teeth are all straight and normal, and they are part of the normal tooth makeup. However the there are many other reasons why we have back problems, and so the liver and I can see that seeing your face that the liver bile ducts are more…..

Richard Miller: I shouldn’t have shown you my eyes, right?

Andreas Moritz: when I had chronic back pain, and I literally… I could not stand longer than a minute before my entire back was aching, and I had just chronic back pain, lower back and middle pain, and shoulder pain, and neck pain, and when once I cleaned out my liver and gallbladder and I passed about three and a half thousand stones, I, according to my own recipe “The Amazing Liver And Gallbladder Flush” then I, virtually I don’t have any pain anywhere in my body, it literally disappeared. My wife Lillian, she had a lot of calcified stones in her gall bladder, one of them was over two inches in diameter, and so once she passed that during her ninth liver flush, she again, she had the same thing, she never had any pain after that in her body, whereas before, every part of body was aching including her back and her neck, the vertebrae were just rubbing on one another and created excruciating pain to chronic debilities and so again..

Richard Miller: you know I just found you in April and am already like I don’t know if I am a true believer but I have done three liver cleanses and I highly, highly recommend it, I put it on our website and I have referred to it, and Andreas, you know, I mean we, it’s so fascinating getting into so much I would keep you forever here you know, and keep this going, but I know you have some appointments, but I do sincerely hope that the, that there’s a time when we can reconnect and maybe focus in on some of these things, these subjects in a very intense way. Just to make it clear you know, to make it clear to everybody, that life is simple and that actually you have to get lost before you can get found so, let’s just get lost.

Andreas Moritz: exactly, you know sometimes people say I am confused and I say great! Fantastic! Because during the state of confusion that’s when transition can occur….

Richard Miller: the old logic system is breaking down right?

Andreas Moritz: yes, exactly and when people say “oh my heart is broken” I say fantastic; obviously it needed to break open I mean because only closed hearts can break. You cannot break an open heart, it cannot be insulted, an open heart can never be put down, if someone insults you or deceives you, you don’t an open heart never feels deceived because it’s never a victim. You cannot blame anyone for attacking you because if you don’t feel attacked, why would you blame someone? You can only blame someone for the things that happen to you or against you if you feel like defending yourself, if there is a vulnerable point that gets sort of brought to the surface, a grievance that you have about yourself that then becomes like a big issue, whereas if an attack goes right through you because you understand it has nothing to do with me.

If you criticize me and I don’t feel criticized, you know, there is no harm done. If I criticize you and then I feel so unhappy that I feel the need a need to criticize you and that has everything to do with me. It’s my business, and so if someone criticizes me it’s their business, it’s not my business, it’s their unhappiness that they are projecting and maybe I can help them, I put my hand out and say “is there anything I can do for you?” maybe you are going through a difficult period in life. I don’t have to counter attack them because they are unhappy about something in themselves because only unhappy people can put other people down. So it’s a simple thing, conflicts will be virtually be absent if we start accepting who we are, we accept our own mistakes, our own short comings; we start accepting other people’s mistakes and shortcomings and weaknesses as well. We no longer take fault in ourselves and we cannot take fault at other people and so relationships don’t have to be conflicted if we took a couple of breaths every time something negative happened to us, and we are just a breath away from seeing it differently and we all have is that choice… we can either say “something bad is happening to me,” or we can say “well, let me just breathe through this for a while and see if something positive comes out a bit”, you don’t have to respond right away, you can just let it be. Like the song “let it be, let it be”, it was a beautiful song because it helped people, and it came at a time when people were helpless, when they were disillusioned about life, and here someone says “let it be” and just by letting it be, it can take its own course, its own direction, life can start flowing again without us holding up the stream and it’s simple advice but letting it be holds a lot of truth and maybe this is a good conclusion, because it’s so valuable and letting things be, accepting them the way they are, and then we can take advantage of everything that happens to us, both negative and positive.

Richard Miller: thank you Andreas. That’s just beautiful advice but I mean way more than that, I mean what a beautiful encounter we have had, I am just thrilled and just totally blown open and spacious and I do dearly hope that we, this is not the first and last time we should become true friends, and I am sure a lot of people are going to become true, true friend watching this….

Andreas Moritz: thank you very much, Richard, and it’s a just a beautiful connection, because we are connected, we were connected before that’s why we reconnect; the synchronization is wonderful, everything happens for a reason, and this was one of those beautiful reasons.

Richard Miller: that’s how, I found you I knew so fast when I found you, I really, I did never think we were connected before, but let it be, you know, let it be. So everybody, Andreas Moritz, and I am blown away and I hope you love it and we are going to give a lot of energy to Andreas ,and so please stay with us for that and just stay with us for discovering yourself and just letting it be, just stay with us for letting it be. We have nothing to give you but yourself. And so then that’s it for today. So…..

Andreas Moritz: thanks for giving me the opportunity and enjoy…

Richard Miller: yes

Andreas Moritz: enjoy your life.

Richard Miller: of course.

Listen To Your Body, Know How To Read And Decipher Your Body’s Language

By Andreas Moritz

Children often fall ‘accidentally on purpose’ if their bodies require a boost of immunity. A wound that becomes infected due to dirt very often serves as a quick self-help method to stimulate the immune system and further increase the level of natural resistance to disease in a child’s body. Many growth spurts are initiated in this way. We tend to think that children don’t know what is happening, but their Higher Selves and spiritual guides are ever watchful to permit only what truly is in their highest interest, even if this means injury.

However, what begins to happen is that this natural instinct or ‘innocent knowingness’ becomes gradually distorted through the varied responses the child receives from the surroundings. Basically, all reactions in life are ego-driven, which means they are rooted in the fear of separation. Without fear, there would be no reaction, only action. Since separation can only occur in the ego or consciousness of non-reality, none of what appears to be real is actually real. Separation appears so real because there is no perception of the underlying oneness.

How many of us remember having been scolded for not finishing what our mother had prepared for us? Maybe we weren’t hungry or our body’s natural instincts suppressed the urge to eat for other reasons, such as feeling unwell or upset about something. Or maybe we just didn’t like the food she cooked. Our body’s own normal and natural responses, however, were criticized with such words as: “You are a spoiled brat!” or “You don’t value what God is giving to you!”

Several years ago, I had a patient who complained to me about his eating disorder. “I can never sit at a table and eat a meal like everyone else does,” he said. When I inquired about his childhood eating habits he reluctantly told me that his mother literally used to throw portions of food at him that he was unable to eat. Although his mother truly believed that this was the proper way to teach her son to appreciate the food she was preparing for him – because of her own unfulfilled needs for love and appreciation – such ‘justified’ methods of educating her son had led to his highly disturbed relationship to food and eating. Using food as an educational tool to teach the young ones the ‘right manners’ of adulthood has become very popular. The good intention of the parents, however, has turned out to be the most influential contributing factor causing a disproportionate part of the population to suffer from eating disorders and obesity.

These people have learned from early in their lives that listening to the body is wrong. Thus, in later life, they have no way of knowing how to read or decipher the body’s language. The communication link between the inner and the outer aspects of life becomes severely disrupted and so does the spiritual connection to the Source Self.

Cellular Thinking

By Andreas Moritz 

The united force of your body, mind and spirit continually seeks to provide you with nourishment, vitality and happiness. The body uses food, water and air to renew and sustain itself. The mind chooses a task that keeps it creative and active. The spirit looks for ways to expand by generating waves of love, peace and freedom, and to share happiness with the world as a means of gaining fulfillment.

Everything that you do and experience – physically, mentally and emotionally – has a profound bearing on your entire being. Each one of your thoughts, feelings and emotions sparks profound changes in your body, mind and spirit.

A German professor of medicine, Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, proved that every physical illness is triggered or preceded by the effects of an unresolved conflict in the life of a patient. Two decades of studies and treating more than 31,000 patients later, Dr. Hamer was able to scientifically prove that biological conflict-shock results in a cold cancerous or necrotic phase and that after the conflict is resolved, the cancerous or necrotic development is reversed to fix the damage and render a person fit again.

That the resolution of conflict can naturally stop or reverse the symptomatic occurrence of what we refer to as ‘disease’ is not difficult to understand: for example, the calm and reassuring words of a friend can trigger powerful biochemical responses in your body that change your posture, relax your physical expression, and improve your mood.

All of our thoughts, feelings, desires, beliefs, realizations and recognitions are translated into neuropeptides or neurotransmitters in the brain. Over 100 different neuropeptides have been discovered, and many more are believed to exist. These are chemical messengers of information, which determine how your body functions.

How do the millions of neurons know which type of neurotransmitter they need to make for each specific thought, right at the moment of its occurrence? What causes their simultaneous ‘firing’ throughout the brain? And, more astonishing, how does one neuron know what the other neuron thinks when there is no direct physical connection between the two?

In recent years, scientists have discovered that these chemical messengers are not only made by brain cells, but also by all other cells in the body. This raises the question whether we think only with our brain cells, or also with other cells in the body? There is enough scientific evidence to show that all cells throughout the body have the same remarkable ability to think, emote and make decisions as brain cells.

Our body’s cells are equipped with receptor sites for these peptides, which explains why every cell knows what every other cell does or thinks. There cannot be any secrets between cells. Every instruction given or received somewhere is felt as an instruction everywhere.

If all of our cells are in tune and are so receptive to every thought and emotion that runs through our minds, the power of love and love-based actions that comes from every one of us is how we can meet cellular thinking to fill our lives, and our cells, with love.

Fixing The Root Cause Rather Than The Symptom Of A Disease

By Andreas Moritz

For the most part, we remain in the Dark Ages with regard to true healing. According to independent reports by the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, a wing of the American Congress, and the World Health Organization (WHO), 85-90 percent of all medical procedures used by today’s medical establishment are unproved and not backed up by scientific research. This includes almost every diagnostic procedure and treatment modality that is offered to you in your doctor’s office or by your local hospital – most notably, the use of chemotherapy drugs and radiation.

If your car has engine trouble, would you entrust it to a mechanic who offered you a 10 percent guarantee of fixing it? I don’t think so. You would more likely take your car to someone who is properly trained to look for and repair the causes of the malfunctioning engine rather than making a couple of superficial adjustments. Suffering from a disease means that there is something gone awry with the human ‘engine’, if you will. Our medical practitioners, however, are not trained to deal with the root causes of chronic illness. Their training is dedicated instead to alleviating or shutting down the symptoms that indicate the body is trying to deal with an underlying imbalanced situation. Removing the symptoms actually suppresses the body’s (and the mind’s) attempt to deal with the real problem. The medical industry has brainwashed the masses to believe that their symptoms are actually diseases, and by suppressing or removing the symptoms, the diseases will vanish along with them.

The symptom-oriented approach to treating disease generates a tremendous number of potential symptomatic side effects that, in turn, require further treatment. Since none of the chosen treatment modalities are cause-oriented, there are bound to be continuously escalating complications in the future.This guarantees that there will always be enough patients who need medical attention and medical insurance. This trend, of course, will continue only for as long as the masses remain ignorant of their potential self-healing abilities.

It is not in the best interest of the medical industry, including the pharmaceutical companies, to find a real cure for cancer or for any other chronic illnesses, for this would make the treatment of disease symptoms obsolete. Removing the cause(s) of an illness almost never requires a separate approach that deals with the symptoms of the illness, for these would disappear on their own once the underlying causes are addressed. Unless used for emergencies, costly methods of medical intervention, such as allopathic drugs, complex diagnostic procedures, radiation, and surgery are unnecessary. They also deceive patients and are potentially harmful to their health.

At least 900,000 people die each year in the United States alone because of side effects caused by these symptom-suppressing, alleviating approaches. Since our present healthcare system promotes and encourages the treatment of symptoms of disease rather than the prevention of disease, it is one of the most clever and profitable investment schemes ever devised. The system lures unsuspecting people into having their symptoms treated, promising them relief while actually ensuring that the side effects from these treatments will almost certainly turn them into patients for life. The result is a permanent and ever-increasing source of income for drug companies, shareholders, medical institutions and medical practitioners.

The Link Between The Big Three – Toxicity, Cancer And Obesity

By Andreas Moritz

People started gaining weight ever since life became more and more convenient. When modern amenities were introduced, life became sedentary and we simply got less exercise. But that’s stating the obvious, isn’t it? Unfortunately, it is much more subtle than that. While a ‘fatty’ or sedentary lifestyle directly contributes to weight gain, the enemy is subtler than sheer laziness.

Modern conveniences often come wrapped in toxins, both literally and metaphorically. They’re everywhere: in tap water, bottled water, bottled drinks, product packaging, the hundreds of chemical additives in processed foods and beverages, medical drugs, harmful low-grade radiation, and even the paint in toxic toys.

Toxins enter our bloodstream from the air we breathe, pesticides in fruit and vegetables, abnormally high levels of antibiotics and hormones in the meat of cattle, and chemical waste ingested by the fish we eat.

It is not possible to be free of toxins; neither do we need to be. A healthy body is designed to handle moderate amounts of toxic agents. However, most of us choose to live toxic lifestyles or are exposed to dangerous toxins without really being aware of it. And the human body was never meant to process the levels of toxins it is now subjected to.

The developed world is suffering from a toxicity crisis and we’re paying a very heavy price. But how is a toxic lifestyle linked to being overweight?

The Unholy Triad

Researchers are calling it the Unholy Triad. I call it The Big Three – the link between toxicity, cancer and obesity – a connection that is still at the cutting edge of medical research.

The root of obesity often leads to an organ of your body you are least likely to associate with fat – the liver. The liver is the second-largest organ of the body, after the skin, and is responsible for – hold your breath – more than 500 functions.

Before we discuss the details, let me make the connection between toxicity and obesity. The body is an extremely complex yet wonderfully synchronized machine, and an imbalance in one area may impact on an organ or a set of tissues that seem unrelated. Toxic chemicals and other poisonous compounds may affect organs and systems without always leading to weight gain. Hence, not everyone exposed to a high degree of toxicity is overweight.

When they enter the bloodstream, poisons are stored in weak and vulnerable organs and tissues because they cannot fight back. The weakened organ becomes weaker, damaged, and diseased and eventually begins to malfunction. This results in conditions ranging from cysts, insulin resistance, metabolic disorders, lung disease, kidney diseases, gall stones, immunological disorders (65 percent of your immune system is located in your intestines), chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalances, to cancer.

But the reverse is always true. Overweight and obese individuals are necessarily suffering from a ‘toxicity crisis’, a state where the body cannot handle the toxic overload.

So how does it work? Fat tissue is basically used as a safe-house for toxins. It is your body’s way of keeping excess metabolic waste and other toxins out of harm’s way. Storing them in fat cells, which have a low metabolic rate, keeps poisons out of the bloodstream so that they don’t reach other tissues and organs.

There is no doubt that individuals who are obese harbor a severely toxic and polluted internal environment. This leads to congestion of other organs and systems. Consequently, the entire body slows down and begins to malfunction.

Have you ever wondered why some people find it difficult to lose weight? After shedding those initial extra pounds, the fat just doesn’t seem to budge! This is because a toxically overloaded system, or morbidly obese body, causes all your organs to become sluggish. As they begin to lose their natural ability to function as they were meant to, they also lose their ability to metabolize and process fat effectively.

This also makes it easier to understand why individuals who are overweight suffer from a host of health issues and diseases. There’s a river of toxins – chemicals introduced to the body as well as those produced by the body in reaction to external pollutants – constantly circulating in the blood, tissues and organs. This ultimately kick starts a vicious cycle, where toxic overload leads to obesity, and excessive fat and cellulite build-up blocks metabolism, which leads to further weight gain.

One type of toxic chemical pollutant in particular merits mention in the context of weight gain because of its notoriety. It is a group of substances called organochlorines which are used in pesticides. Organochlorines enter the body when we eat plants sprayed with insecticides that contain these substances – DDT was banned in the US a long time ago but several other organochlorines are still widely used – and by eating animal products that contain them as cattle feed.

The problem is that organochlorines are difficult to break down and are easily attracted to fat and stored in fat cells, where they can remain for several years. If the levels of organochlorines in your body are very high, you are likely to store fat so that it can safely hide away the toxins. No wonder obese bodies are very reluctant to letting go and losing weight.

Traditional slimming techniques gauge weight loss reducing calorific intake and increasing the body’s metabolic rate. This ranges from crash diets to tweaking dietary habits. It also involves rigorous exercise regimens that simultaneously burn fat quickly.

However, a vast majority of individuals also regain the weight they lose, unless they continue with stringent weight-reduction exercise programs. This ultimately exhausts and wears out the body as you are constantly working against its tendency to gain weight!

A holistic approach, on the other hand, recommends cleansing and detoxification of the body. This process removes years of toxic build-up and gradually repairs and restores the organs to their optimal level of functioning. When this happens, the body also returns to its normal weight.

How Our Body Responds To Stress

By Andreas Moritz

Stress is one of the greatest deterrents to health and well-being. Virtually all of us experience stress in our life from time to time, and our bodies are designed to respond accordingly. For example, if we encounter physical danger, the ‘fight or flight’ stress responses within our body are designed to help us protect ourselves from that danger. So long as experiences of this nature are infrequent, our body is generally able to restore its normal equilibrium without any significant long-term effect on our health.

The more damaging situations are those to which we are exposed on a recurring basis, such as a stressful job, an inharmonious relationship or constant worries about finances. Even watching the daily television news programs tend to create levels of stress within us as we react emotionally to situations that seem tragic or unjust. We must therefore address issues that tend to cause stress, and look for insights and guidance as to how we can live our life in peace and harmony even amid the seeming chaos of our contemporary world.

Growth or Protection

In his book The Biology of Belief, Dr. Bruce Lipton discusses the concept of ‘growth or protection’. Essentially this concept illustrates how the physiological processes within our body are dramatically affected by fear and stress.

The story begins at the cellular level. Dr. Lipton was a research biologist for many years, the focus of his work being on the functioning of human cells. One of the phenomena he noted early in his work was that if he placed human endothelial cells in the center of a culture dish, and then placed nutrients near the edge of the dish, the cells gradually migrated toward the nutrients. On the other hand, if he placed toxins near the edge of the dish, the cells would migrate away from the toxins. In other words, human cells would either move toward that which was nurturing, or away from that which was endangering. To say it another way, in any given moment, human cells are either in a state of ‘growth’, or in a state of ‘protection’.

Our human bodies are made up of approximately 50 trillion cells. Just like the individual cells, our bodies tend to be either in a state of growth or protection. The term ‘growth’, as used here, is intended to imply not just growing in size from infancy to adulthood, but also the continual sustenance and regeneration of our bodies throughout our lifetime.

The growth center of our body is the ‘visceral’ area, which includes the digestive system, and organs such as the lungs, heart, liver, and kidneys – all of the organs that play a key role in the sustenance and regeneration of our body. The protection aspect of our body involves two facets: internal protection and external protection. The primary system with responsibility for internal protection is the immune system. Our external protection involves the somatic system, such as our arms and legs that enable us to respond to a ‘fight or flight’ situation.

Under normal circumstances, if our life situation is reasonably peaceful and we feel a sense of security, our body will be in a state of growth most of the time. However, if we are suddenly confronted with a dangerous situation, such as an earthquake, our body immediately shifts to a state of protection. This shift is initiated by our nervous system, working through our endocrine glands.

When our body shifts from a state of growth to a state of protection, we are impacted in three primary ways:

 

    • The flow of blood is constricted in our visceral area, and re-directed to our somatic system (arms, legs, etc.). Consequently, the functioning of our life-sustaining systems, such as our digestive system, is throttled back to a minimum.
    • Since the threat in the example of an earthquake is an external threat, rather than an internal threat, the immune system is essentially put on temporary hold in order to conserve energy and make it available for somatic activity. This is analogous to the situation involving a modern commercial airplane – just prior to heading down the runway for takeoff, the pilot turns off auxiliary systems such as the air conditioning, so that all of the thrust of the engines is available to support lift-off.
  • The blood flow in the brain is re-directed from the forebrain, where our rational thinking takes place, to the hindbrain, which involves our reflex responses. Since it is the frontal lobes of the forebrain that support rational thinking, when we shift into a state of protection, our ability to think logically is impaired. We frequently hear stories of experienced hikers who become lost in bad weather. If fear and panic overtake a hiker, they often do not make rational survival decisions. For example, they may continue to hike aimlessly as fast as they can to the point of exhaustion, rather than using their energy to build a shelter in which to wait out the storm.

If our body remains in a state of protection for a relatively short period of time, little damage is done to our internal growth-related processes. However, unlike each individual cell that at any point in time is either totally in a state of growth or state of protection, the collective of cells that constitute our body can exist in gradational states somewhere between total growth and total protection. This is the state in which we are likely to find ourselves if our life is regularly taxed under excessive stress.

For example, we know that under conditions of stress or turmoil, we frequently suffer from indigestion. We also know that during periods of stress, we are more likely to come down with a cold, or experience other aches and pains within our body.

We may, or may not be aware that our rational mind does not function as well under stressful situation. Since it is our rational mind that is the ‘observer’ of our thinking ability under such situations, the observer, itself, may not be able to observe clearly.

In his book, Dr. Lipton goes on to describe how this concept of ‘growth or protection’ affects the development of a fetus during pregnancy. The evolving fetus lives in the emotional field of the mother, and is dramatically impacted in its development by these emotions. If the mother’s emotions are normally peaceful and loving, then the forebrain of the fetus will develop in a normal, healthy manner. However, if the mother is frequently in a state of fear and anger, nature prepares the fetus to live in a correspondingly harsh emotional environment after birth. So it directs the hindbrain to be developed more fully, at the expense of the development of the forebrain. Dr. Lipton points out that the intelligence of a child can be affected by as much as 50%, depending on the emotional environment in which its development took place while in the womb.

Dr. Lipton’s work also provides important information for all of us as to how our body is affected by our thoughts and emotions. It carries an especially important message for young couples that are thinking about starting a family.

Primordial Healing Sounds Heal The Body, Mind And Spirit

By Andreas Moritz

You are What you Perceive

All the primordial vibrations responsible for every aspect of the physical and non-physical creation are located in the silence of one’s awareness just like a tiny seed that contains all the information it needs to bring forth a giant tree. This field of silence is not empty or chaotic but organized, purposeful, and active. It is made of invisible designs that are perfect and flawless, translating themselves into the building blocks of our physiology. It is here where the frequencies of primordial impulses – primordial sounds – become form, where ‘the word becomes the flesh’. Because the transformation of sound or vibration into form or matter begins on the level of our awareness, we can learn to correct any malfunction in the body merely through intent or desire.

We all ingest, metabolize, and become everything that we perceive within and outside ourselves. We literally become the thoughts we think, the emotions we trigger, the knowledge we understand, the sounds we hear, the shapes and colors we see, the air we breathe, just as we become the food we eat. Wherever your attention goes to, the mere mental contact with it absorbs its very essence and makes it an integral part of your life.

Through mere observation of natural scenery, you create the same healing effect within you that it (the scenery) generates for all the surrounding creatures. Looking at a sunset or a snow-covered mountain may have slightly different effects on each one of us yet its overall influence is soothing and calming. By contrast, you may figuratively become as cold and hard as a jungle of concrete and steel if you live in one or see it often enough. Studies conducted in American hospitals have revealed that patients staying in rooms that face natural scenery such as a lake, trees or mountains recover much faster and require less medication than those who face the lifeless scenery of concrete buildings or cannot look out of the window at all.

The vibrations emanating from sounds, words, colors, shapes or forms are waves of various lengths and frequencies. They are basic to all organic and inorganic life forms and have a profound influence on our lives, too. We merge with whatever we perceive through our mind, intellect or senses of perception. Waves not only play an important part in the world of physics, they are the basic energy patterns that make up our thought forms and feelings as well. They become part of us and form a new set of information in our awareness, which in turn can reshape our destiny on every level of life – physical, material, and spiritual. Sound waves have perhaps the most powerful effect on our well-being.

The World of Sounds

Every sound produces sound waves or disturbances in the air, which travel at about 332 meters per second. Through complex internal processes, we can pick up these sound waves through our ears and eventually perceive them in the cerebral cortex of our brain. Our brain is capable of receiving an enormous number of various kinds of sounds generated in our environment and, what is most intriguing: it can make sense of them. It knows how to differentiate all the numerous sounds and link them to our auditory memories. Some sounds are words, which we call language, others we call music, and again others we consider just noise.

Every sound that our brain cells perceive stimulates them to make neurotransmitters that subsequently translate these sounds into specific physiological responses in the body. For this reason, you may feel elevated and cheerful when you listen to your favorite music or you may become nervous and agitated when you hear the jarring noise of a machine or the scratching of a nail.

Some sounds affect different parts of the body more than others. Instrumental music for instance stimulates the right hemisphere of the brain and its related left side of the body more than it stimulates the left hemisphere and its related right side of the body. If vocals are part of the music, then the whole body is stimulated. All the cells in the body can ‘hear’ these sounds because they have receptor sites for the same neuropeptides that the brain makes when it perceives sound. This also means that the cells in our body are capable of producing the same chemical messengers as the brain and they use them to communicate with each other through sound.

Our skin, for example, is a very apt receptor for music. If sound waves reach and touch the skin, which they do when you listen to music, the skin cells respond by secreting ‘pleasure hormones’ and other chemicals that enhance immunity and vitality throughout the body, provided the music suits your psycho-physiological body-type. This fantastic ability of skin cells may be rooted in the fact that they are identical to brain cells, except that they die after one month whereas brain cells can live for as long as a hundred or more years. Some people report a pleasant tingling sensation running through their skin while listening to music. Jarring noise on the other hand can make your skin shiver and your hair stand on end. In that case, your skin cells make stress hormones.

There is ample evidence now that all the 60-100 trillion cells in the body listen to and respond to all the sounds we perceive (that includes the cells of a fetus carried in a mother’s womb). Harmonious and coherent sounds make you feel healthy and alive. For this reason, music has played a major role in all the cultures of the world, throughout time. Every culture has developed its own particular type of music to suit the specific requirements of the various geographic and climatic conditions in each area.

Music is not just a fundamental need of every culture but a physiological one as well. In the field of health, music has been found to reduce the time of recovery after surgery and to strengthen a patient’s ability to fight infection. Patients are found to need less medication for pain, fewer tranquillizers and sleeping pills when they listen to their favorite music. A large number of American hospitals are already using music for therapeutic reasons. There is music that can reduce appetite, lower blood pressure or induce sleep.

Of course, not all music triggers a healing response. There is a musical frequency for everything that exists, even to cause disease. If you regularly listen to hard rock music, your lymphocytes begin to drop in number, leaving you more prone to infection. Low-pitch sounds can make you feel sad and depressed. For this reason, funeral music uses low pitch sounds. On the other hand, high-pitch sounds can make you feel happy and enthusiastic.

Yet again, as is the case with every other external influence, the responses vary according to body type. If you are a Vata out of balance (impatience, anxiety) then slow, low-pitch music may benefit you more than fast, high-pitch music because it reduces hyperactivity and nervousness. A lethargic Kapha type, on the other hand, can do with lively high-pitch sounds to get his circulation and metabolic rate going. A fast tempo is likely to increase your heartbeat and an irregular tempo can cause an irregular heart rhythm and even lead to cardiac arrhythmia as seen in the cases of some pop singers.

The Body – A Symphony Orchestra

Medical research has revealed that each organ in the body creates a specific sound that can be amplified by highly sophisticated measuring devices. The liver, for example, produces a certain sound when it is healthy. If the liver gets diseased, it produces a distorted sound. If you play the recorded healthy sound back to the liver, it can be restored to health. The liver sounds are different from the sounds generated by the heart, the spleen, the lungs, or any other part of the body.

All the various types of cells make their own characteristic sounds. Their specific electrical broadcasts differ from each other with the frequencies they produce.

In the case of an infant the measurable frequencies range from 1,520,000 to 9,460,000 Hz (cycles per second). The lower end of this fairly high human frequency overlaps the radio frequency range of AM radio broadcasts, which are from 540,000 to 1,600,000 Hz; FM is 88,000,000 to 108,000,000 Hz, out of human range, which means that we cannot hear these sounds, at least not consciously.

As a whole, a healthy body ‘sounds’ like an enormous symphony orchestra with millions of different musical instruments. All disease processes begin with a distortion of these sounds and can lead to a near-total loss of synchrony as in the case of cancer or AIDS. Can you imagine a symphony orchestra with millions of instruments all playing out of tune? What is needed is a few master musicians and a conductor who can lead and coordinate all the other musicians.

Name and Form Relationship

There are several ‘master sounds’ that command the major functions of the organs and systems in the body, others control the tissues, and yet others are in charge of the body’s energy centers. These sounds are identical to the basic vibrational frequencies that the various parts of the body produce when they are in perfect balance. Ayurveda, the ancient science of life, is one of the ancient sciences that knows of the therapeutic value of such primordial sounds.

Brain research has shown that the thought of an object such as an apple or an elephant and actually seeing it creates the same chemical changes and brain wave patterns. In other words, whether you think of an elephant or actually see one makes no difference with respect to the corresponding biochemical changes in your body. All material objects have their basis in non-material vibrations, i.e. sounds; and in truth, both kinds are inseparably one. In the not so distant future we will be able to make use of this intimate relationship of name (or sound) and form and spontaneously materialize an object such as an apple, an elephant, or even a diamond if need be. Today’s miracle will be tomorrow’s reality.

The situation is similar with Primordial Sounds. By using these sounds, you can restore the original forms and functions of the tissues, organs and systems. Regular use of the sounds can promote profound healing in body, mind, and spirit because they are projected from our own pure awareness or Higher Self. The sounds become the channels or beams of energy from our Higher Self and are used to perform their assigned duties and responsibilities. Not only does their regular use induce specific healing responses but it also stabilizes pure awareness and makes it increasingly available in daily life.

Our Inability to Say ‘No’ – A Cause for Anger or Resentment

By Andreas Moritz

Anger or resentment can be caused by our inability to say “no” when we really don’t want to do something, but agree to do it nevertheless. Many of us feel obliged to say “yes” because we feel that it is expected of us. And if we say “no”, we may fear that this will cause problems in a relationship or we will no longer be liked or loved.

The ‘yes attitude’ may be a result of deep-seated beliefs and codes of behavior that are connected with education, religion, gender and class. If you perceive someone as being more powerful or influential than you, such as your boss, you are more likely to say “yes” to a request of his than if it came from someone who is an employee of yours. People who only say “yes” all the time often have low self-esteem.

Society may see them as the most selfless people who would do anything to help others. Their being selfless is, however, rather a sign of being low in self-worth. They sacrifice their lives for others so that they are loved and appreciated. However, these ‘saints’ often become martyrs. The typical character traits of their personality are self sacrifice, being a ‘good’ person, always friendly and happy-looking, never having time for themselves.

Over-caring is as harmful as is under-caring. Yet love is not about giving oneself away like a slave, this only causes resentment. It is more about honoring and appreciating one’s life so much that love simply spills over to others. For such a person, giving and sharing comes naturally without the need for acknowledgment.

Both “yes” and “no” are part of life. Say “yes” when it makes you feel good, but please say “no” when you do not want to do something. Going against your own gut feelings leads to conflicts and complications, whereas following them opens you to solutions and new opportunities.Even if you risk losing your job or breaking off a relationship, honoring your inner feelings will benefit you in the long run.

Self-honesty is the highest form of honesty and the only one that can bring you lasting happiness. Hiding your true feelings from yourself or others is an attempt of your ego to live up to an idealized image of yourself. Being honest with others means that you are not afraid to show them who you really are and what you really feel. As a golden rule, you can only be as honest with others as you are with yourself. Since our cultural upbringing has associated saying “yes” to being liked and saying “no” to being rejected or disliked, most people tend to prefer the ‘yes version’ of communication, especially when they relate to a boss or a person close to them. Unlike small children who do not hesitate to say “no” when they feel like it – they know instinctively that they are still loved by their parents – we have learnt to buy our love with the little word “yes”, yet this may make us increasingly resentful.

Saying “yes” when we mean “no” creates an internal conflict between what we really would like to do and what we are expected to do.Subtle blackmail, bribery and self-fulfilling rules and regulations formulated by parents, teachers and other authority figures have taught us to conform to manipulation. Saying “yes” seemed to be the only way to get what we wanted but we had to pay a price for it. Because we were afraid of facing the undesirable consequences that a “no” would have triggered, feelings of frustration, anger, insecurity, anxiety and guilt gradually began to replace our innate spontaneous ability to be carefree and honest. As we continued growing up, we increasingly adopted the same or similar methods of manipulating others.

The irony of all this is that other people prefer you to be straight and honest about how you really feel rather than to be given last minute excuses or resentful acceptances for, let’s say, an invitation. To say “yes” when you feel like saying “no” is called lying, but in reality, it is “self denial.” So the next time when you say “yes” but really feel like saying “no”, utter to yourself: “I have said ‘yes’ again when I didn’t truly mean it.” This will take your old unconscious ‘say yes’ pattern into your conscious awareness and allow you either to undo it and tell the truth or to transform it into a lesson of learning for yourself.

Becoming aware is the fastest way of learning from your emotions and a safe way to overcome emotional problems in life. Also, vigorous exercise can help you deal with repressed anger. It supports the body in its attempt to flush out the excess amount of noradrenalin – the chemical equivalent of anger. Exercise restores the chemical balance of the body and elevates your self-esteem. Talking to friends about how you feel, expressing your anger through writing or counseling, and minimizing it through meditation can all help in dealing with this unpleasant and destructive emotion. These methods act like letting the steam out of a pressure cooker, allowing you to gain deeper insights from your emotions.

Anyone who suffers from constant anger or frustration in life has accumulated large numbers of gallstones, both in the liver and in the gallbladder. One of the fastest ways of clearing old resentments and repressed anger is to eliminate all gallstones through a series of liver flushes. As long as bile ducts are blocked and bile flow is obstructed, energy and joyful feelings will be subdued, and anger and frustration will be exacerbated. Gallstones are a constant source of recurring irritation; by removing them, the above methods of dealing with emotions become much easier and more successful.

Depression – Anger Turned Inward

By Andreas Moritz

Depression afflicts millions of people in the industrialized world today. It impairs the digestive, nervous and circulatory functions in the body and depletes any remnant of joy and happiness. By itself, depression is not an independent emotion but is directly linked to repressed anger.

Traditional rules of social conduct promote the idea that it is better to conform to ‘proper’ behavior than to reveal one’s emotions, particularly anger. Many people have been brought up with the idea that anger is essentially bad and indicates an unbalanced personality. If you feel angry, then you should at least not show it. This unwritten law seems to apply even more to women than to men. It appears to be socially acceptable for a man to rant and rave, hurl objects about, shout at other people, and possibly become violent, but women are considered not ‘feminine’ if they do the same.

Many women have the tendency to become silent and withdrawn when they are angry. Their ‘quiet’ nature, though, is deceiving. Unknowingly playing the victim and allowing men to dominate their lives, they may do whatever their partner or husband wants them to do without asserting themselves. Instead, they feel tremendous rage inside and subsequently suffer from depression, which can lead to a nervous breakdown. There is enough clinical evidence now to show that depression is anger turned inwards. Unless anger is expressed in a positive, active way, it accumulates in a passive way and becomes the ‘emotion’ of depression. The effects can be devastating.

Dr. Philip Gold of the American National Institute of Mental Health was able to prove that stress and depression trigger the release of emergency hormones, causing brittle bones, infections and even cancer. Brittle bones are a major cause of death among women today. In many people, these stress hormones are no longer merely triggered occasionally but they are kept at constant ‘hyper-readiness’. When they are turned on and stay on for a long time, they destroy appetite, impair the immune system, block sleep, break down bone and shut down the processes that repair cell tissue. Research shows that chronically depressed women have high levels of stress hormones and enormous loss of bone density.

One particular study conducted at Ohio State University, USA, revealed that routine marital disagreements could trigger such hormonal reactions, especially among women. The stress hormone levels showed that women are more sensitive to negative behavior than men; hence, they are at much greater risk of becoming depressed and falling ill. According to the research, if the hormone levels stay up longer than they should, there is a real risk of infectious disease.

The latest findings in the field of Neuroscience have shown that levels of serotonin, an important neurotransmitter that is linked to the experience of pleasure, are 20-25 percent lower in patients who are at high risk of suicide. Serotonin is particularly active in a part of the brain that controls inhibition, and a lack of the neurotransmitter, or its related chemicals, lowers the amount of control a person has over his actions. This predisposes a person to act on suicidal thoughts.

Suicide is the eighth leading cause of death in the United States. According to the research, the tendency towards suicide may be aggravated by childhood experiences that can affect serotonin levels in the brain for a lifetime. In fact, people who commit suicide have a high rate of child abuse histories. Laboratory studies confirm that parental deprivation at critical points in childhood can diminish serotonin in an enduring way.

Social conditioning has taught many of us to repress anger right from the beginning of life. When small children don’t get what they want, they throw tantrums and are often told off by an angry parent. All the small instances of withheld anger or frustration build up to a highly explosive inner conflict, creating a strong chemical distortion in the body. Every new instance that triggers an emotional explosion reveals the entire past of unresolved conflicts. Anger, if it is dealt with before it turns into depression, can be a means of learning about the very weaknesses that we tend to project on others. Whenever you feel angry, you are never really angry with somebody else, but you are frustrated over your own inability to fulfill your desires, both past and present.

Weight Loss Surgery – A Dangerous Quick-Fix Solution

By Andreas Moritz

There are only two reasons I can think of that account for the huge success of weight-loss surgery in the United States – the Western world’s obsession with quick-fix solutions due to an unwillingness to adopt an approach that requires an iota of effort, and the mind-boggling profits that surgeons make promoting this barbaric practice. Yet here are the cold, hard facts:

Mortality Rate: Roughly 1-3 percent of individuals undergoing weight-loss surgery die within a few years after the procedure.

Additional Surgery: As many as 22 percent patients suffer complications post-surgery while still in hospital; 40 percent report complications within the first six months of surgery; and 20 percent need additional follow-up surgery to fix the complications due to the surgery.

‘Too Successful’: 30 percent of patients develop nutritional deficiencies such as anemia and osteoporosis. Sometimes, the surgery is so ‘successful’ that patients suffer, and even perish from, severe malnutrition

Failure Rate: If you don’t die of it or fall seriously ill, you are likely to be back where you started. That is because 25 percent of individuals who undergo weight-reduction procedures do not lose the weight they expected to shed. This could either be because the surgery itself was unsuccessful or the patient failed to maintain the prescribed diet post-surgery.

‘Bariatric surgery’ is a term used to describe several procedures that surgically remove large sections of the digestive tract to essentially reduce the intake of food. It works on two simple, if savage, principles: forcibly reduce appetite and food intake to drastically cut down on the calories you ingest, and restrict the ability of the now-brutalized digestive tract to absorb nutrients from food. For many morbidly obese individuals, surgery is the last resort, after numerous attempts at dieting, exercising and pharmaceutical drugs fail to work. Desperate to lead normal lives, patients consent to going under the knife, allowing a doctor to reach into their abdomen and rip out vital organs, and twist, turn, staple and stitch together what is left inside into an unnatural mess.

In other words, some obese individuals – at least 200,000 a year in the US – are making a conscious choice to be severely crippled and maimed. If these sound like harsh words, I am not exaggerating.

Being morbidly obese can be life-threatening and there is a host of health issues associated with the condition. This apart from the socially and personally challenging nature of the disease. But before we discuss alternative ways to approach this issue, let us take a brief look at why weight-reduction surgery appears to work.

There are numerous variations that go by different names such as gastric bypass surgery, biliopancreatic diversion, duodenal switch, stomach stapling, vertical banded gastroplasty and sleeve gastrectomy.

Another option, still being tested in Europe, is the ‘gastric pacer’, which is implanted on the surface of the stomach, in much the same way as a pacemaker is implanted in the heart. This gadget connects with your nervous system and connects to the brain to mimic the feeling of satiety. On other words, it makes you feel full even when you are not eating.

Contrast this with the complicated process of energy homeostasis that doctors are still unable to fully understand. The processes of energy regulation are dominated by two hormones, ghrelin and leptin, which work through a complicated series of pathways controlled by the hypothalamus. Despite decades of research, scientists are yet to uncover the exact mechanisms by which these hormones work, the neurotransmitters involved and neural pathways that relay the messages of satiety and hunger. Several pharmaceutical drugs have also tried to tinker with this delicate balance and have failed. Now here’s an electrical gadget that purports to alter a process that nature is yet to reveal to medical science!

Strip away the fancy medical jargon of weight-loss surgery and what you are left with is a stomach that is reduced to around 15 percent of its original size, a small intestine (the seat of digestion and immunity) that has had essential segments like the duodenum removed. Not only is your food intake drastically reduced, but what is left of your digestive tract is also unable to effectively process, metabolize and absorb what does go into it. Weight-loss surgery therefore radically alters your body’s biochemistry and metabolism in a way that nature never intended.

Not surprisingly, nature will revolt. Though bariatric surgery is reported to bring about dramatic results – a reduction by as much as half or more of body weight – it is also associated with dangerous medical complications.

Remember, weight-loss surgery is irreversible. You simply cannot re-attach a part of the small intestine that has been so nonchalantly snipped off or expect a portion of your stomach, rendered redundant for several months, to start working again.

Personality Shifts Can Create ‘Miracles’

By Andreas Moritz

Every human being, regardless of the health problem or emotional difficulties he may experience, shares the mind-body relationship. You may have heard of ‘personality disorder’, a condition when a person accommodates up to a dozen different personalities in his physical body. Researchers and medical professionals are still puzzled by such occurrences.Women, who have three distinct personalities with different memories, feelings, and even language accents, are found to have three different menstrual periods in one month. Some of the afflicted persons may even change the color of their eyes as they make the shift from one personality to another.

Several years ago, a team of doctors in the United States studied the personality disorder of a young boy who was known to have twelve identifiable personalities. While experiencing one particular personality, the boy develops strong allergic reactions after drinking orange juice. In this state, his immune system regards orange juice as an allergen or ‘invader’. When the orange molecules contact the immune cells in his mouth cavity and intestinal tract, they begin to mass-produce antibodies to counteract the orange juice as if it were harmful bacteria. The abnormal reaction causes mouth swelling, skin eruptions, burning eyes, an asthma attack, migraine or diarrhea. After shifting to another personality, his immune system considers the same orange molecules to be ‘friendly’. Without any trace of sensitivity to orange juice, all the previous symptoms of the allergy will have disappeared.

It would be intriguing to find out which aspect of the boy’s personality triggers the allergy and which one turns it off again. However, even without knowing the cause of the allergy, we can say that a change in his thoughts, feelings, emotions, memories, likes dislikes etc., which make up his personality, alters his body’s behavior so drastically that ingesting a few harmless orange molecules can lead to the destruction of his entire body.

A number of people with personality disorders suffer from insulin-dependent diabetes. Since their pancreatic cells (Islets of Langerhans) are no longer capable of producing enough of this vital hormone, the patients may require injections of insulin to keep the sugar level balanced. Conventional medicine assumes that with this form of diabetes (Type I) a large number of the afflicted pancreas cells are non-functional or quasi dead. However, after a sudden change of personality, these people no longer suffer from diabetes; their insulin levels are normal, and pancreatic cells are resurrected back to life.

One might consider this periodically occurring ‘resurrection’ of cells to be a ‘programmed miracle’, but it may be a far less mysterious phenomenon than that. The pancreas cells, which at one moment are in deep slumber and without a sign of life, the next moment, are awakened by a kind of alarm clock or a wake-up call. The sudden awakening to another personality or entity, which has a different mind with different feelings, emotions and memories, redefines the functioning of the entire body. That particular aspect of intelligence, which makes the pancreas cells tick, is active and awake when the corresponding state of mind is active and alive.

The phenomenon of personality disorders reveals a very simple but very important law of the body-mind. By avoiding a certain unresolved issue such as deferring a long due apology to a good friend or not talking to our partner about a problem that bothers us, we create a blockage in our mind that in due time begins to manifest also in our body, in our relationships and even in our environment. We cannot negate this intimate connection between body and mind, but we can use it as a tool to create a life that is perfect for our world and us. If only we could stop doubting that our mind is capable of creating anything at all, our lives would be full of miracles. Those with personality disorders, although they may not be aware of this, remind us that mind indeed rules over matter.

Note: As confirmed by my personal experiences with people who have multiple personalities, I believe that they are afflicted by soul entities that have not moved on to the ‘other side’ when their physical bodies died. Roaming the astral planes of existence, they seek to express themselves and their desires, frustrations and rage through a physical body, just as they used to when they were still alive (in human form). Through my healing system of Sacred Santémony, I have been able to remove these entities from the host, which resulted in the return of the original mono-personality. Most, if not all, bi-polar or schizophrenic personalities simply suffer from an invasion by one or several such entities, and their symptoms of mental disease vanish along with these entities.

ECG/EKG and EEG – High-Tech Diagnostic Tools That Can Be Grossly Unreliable

By Andreas Moritz

The categorization of disease begins with its diagnosis. Depending on the particular symptom of discomfort or pain a person may be experiencing, a visit to the doctor will most likely result in the diagnosis of a disease, which the physician knows by its name and description. However, before you are given the certainty of diagnosis, you may have to undergo a series of routine examinations. There is the stethoscope, which has become a symbol of the healing profession; a measuring device to take the blood pressure; counting of the heart beat through feeling of the pulse; blood and urine tests; perhaps x-rays, EEG, EKG and more… In total, there are over 1,400 test procedures available that the modern doctor can use today to monitor and measure virtually every bit of your body.

Although in some cases, the use of these methods of diagnosis is justified and can save a person’s life, in the vast majority of cases it is unjustified, misleading and potentially harmful. In theory, high tech diagnostic tools seem to be impartial and yield correct results, but in reality, they are grossly unreliable and can be as dangerous to health as some of the riskiest drugs and surgical procedures. It is therefore important that they are not applied routinely, but much more selectively and, if possible, only during emergency situations.

One of the instruments most frequently used to monitor heart activity is the Electrocardiogram or ECG/EKG. Repeatedly conducted tests have shown that at least 20 percent of diagnoses made by ECG/EKG experts were false. In addition, 20 percent of all ECG/EKG readings turned out to be different when the same person was tested a second time. When ECG/EKG measurements were taken on people who had suffered a heart attack, the machine detected an abnormal heart function in only one-quarter of the patients, no sign of a heart attack in the second quarter, and indecisive results in the remaining half. A sudden ‘abnormal’ curve in the ECG/EKG reading, caused by a jet flying over the hospital, can put a person into the group of those ‘at risk’ for suffering a possible heart attack.

One 1992 report published in the New England Journal of Medicine proved that ECG/EKGs could not be trusted. When these tests were performed on a group of perfectly healthy people, over 50 percent of them showed an extremely abnormal heart condition. In other words, if a healthy child or adult goes through a highly recommended health check-up and is diagnosed by an ECG/EKG expert as having an abnormally behaving heart that requires urgent treatment, the chance that this diagnosis is a false-positive is an astounding 50-50. To avoid being treated unnecessarily with potentially harmful drugs, it is necessary that additional methods of diagnosis be employed to verify the correctness of the ECG/EKG readings. Having a second or third ECG/EKG reading at another hospital is also highly recommended, just to be on the safe side.

The Electroencephalogram (EEG), which is used to measure brain activity and detect brain tumors and epilepsy, often gives highly unreliable diagnostic results, too. 20 percent of people who suffer from epileptic seizures produce normal readings. What is even worse, 15-20 percent of healthy people produce an abnormal EEG. To show how unreliable the EEG machine can be, when it was once connected to the head of a doll, it showed that the doll was alive. In order to avoid costly and potentially risky treatment programs, one should not rely solely on the diagnosis produced by the EEG.

Exercise Safely For Less Than 10 Minutes A Day Using The PACE Training Technique

By Andreas Moritz

The detrimental consequences of strenuous workouts

Don’t drastic weight-reduction plans produce dramatic results? What about all those people on television talk shows who lose, say, 20 pounds in 30 days or 100 pounds in 9 months? Yes, the results are certainly dramatic but what is not quite so publicly publicized is that about half the overweight individuals who subject themselves to such physical ‘abuse’ regain their lost weight in 12 months. Those who don’t, have to keep up the rigorous and punishing routines or risk putting it all back on.

Conventional weight-loss plans place a tremendous strain on the human body, prompting many to give up mid-way. Slacken the routine just a little and you gain the weight you lost by starving and sweating it out. This can be devastating and many individuals give up trying altogether. The message you are sending their body is: “It is impossible for me to lose weight. I am always going to be overweight.”

There are detrimental consequences of strenuous workouts such as long sessions of aerobics or endurance training. Why do so many overweight individuals regain the weight they shed when they stop working out? There is a fundamental flaw to exercising to the point of exhaustion – it burns fat, which is the wrong fuel! As shocking as that might sound, this is how it works at the physiological level. Extended workouts, or exercising for more than 20 minutes, releases cortisol, which in turn burns fat for fuel during the exercise session.

Since fat reserves are depleted, your body then synthesizes and stores more fat to replenish the depleted reserves in preparation for the next workout. With every successive workout, the fat-burning-fat storing cycle is further established till the body learns that it must make and store more fat every time some is burned. Hence, long and punishing workouts actually make the body store fat. That doesn’t seem to be a problem as long as you keep on exercising and burning the fat that builds up. Slow down a little and weight gain sets in.

A healthy alternative – PACE It Out

A healthy alternative is interval training. Going by the rather formidable term ‘Progressively Accelerating Cardiopulmonary Exertion’ or simple PACE, this means engaging in very short bursts of intense exercise followed by a very short period of rest and recovery.

Choose an exercise that suits you – like jogging, spot running, skipping or using an exercise bike. Engage in a short, intense burst of exercise lasting for no more than 30 seconds, then stop and rest for two minutes. Repeat this four times and you’re done exercising for the day – in eight minutes flat!

Now repeat this three to four times a week and not only will you lose weight, you will feel revitalized, rejuvenated and invigorated with an enhanced cardiovascular capacity, and lean and strong muscles, among many other health benefits.

How does interval training or PACE work at the physiological level? Why doesn’t it cause the same devastating effects as aerobic exercise?

When you exercise in short bursts, your body burns carbohydrates in the form of stored glycogen stored in the muscles and liver. It doesn’t burn fat during the session. After each session, it starts burning fat to replenish the depleted glycogen from your muscles and liver which were used during your training session.

Your body then continues to metabolize and burn fat for the next 24 hours after your interval training session. Your body thus learns that it does not have to store fat only to burn it again during a rigorous workout but that it must slowly burn fat to replenish depleted glycogen reserves. This is called afterburn, a magical and automatic process you can in motion by simply tweaking the type of exercise!

And in case it didn’t strike you – do the math and you’ll realize you need to exercise for quite literally less than 10 minutes a day! How’s that for people who are pressed for time?

How To Give Up Smoking And Other Addictions

By Andreas Moritz

Addiction – An Unconscious Signal of Not Being in Control

If you are substance-addicted, this may be accompanied or caused by the inability to fulfill one or more of your deepest desires. Although unconscious of it, you may have this idea that there is a power beyond your control that stops you from achieving your dreams, big or small.You may even admit self-defeat by maintaining the belief that it is just too difficult for you to give up old habits like smoking, drinking alcohol or eating addictive foods.

Many smokers argue that they cannot quit smoking if they constantly see other people smoking. Others do not want to face the possibly unbearable withdrawal symptoms that often accompany a sudden abstinence from smoking. Quite a lot of people managed to quit smoking, but when they suddenly put on a lot of weight, they resumed the habit.

Most smokers who wish to end their addiction feel that they don’t have enough willpower to stop smoking. Why are we giving a small cigarette such great power that it is able to rule over our freedom to make conscious choices in our life? Smoking, like any other addictive habit, is merely a symptom of an underlying void or deficiency of some sort. What is really missing in our lives that we continue to desire substitutes? This question is impossible to answer in this context due to a vast number of possible answers, many of which may only be known by the addict himself. But the need to smoke can become very useful in as much as it can reveal and actually overcome this inner lack, whatever it may be.

Instead of criticizing or judging yourself for giving your power to a habit that has the potential to make you ill or kill you, you can learn a great deal from it and make yourself feel complete again. Because you may not be able to understand the underlying message that smoking entails, you tend to resign yourself to the expectation that quitting the habit is a difficult and frustrating task. Yet smoking can make you aware that you are no longer completely in control of your life, and even offer you a way to reclaim that control.

The excuse “I cannot give up smoking because…” is an unconscious recognition that I am a victim of some kind, and that I am suffering from low self-worth. There is a part of me that I consider weak and inadequate. A part of me is not alive and well. The act of smoking makes me admit in a way that my desire for a cigarette is greater than my desire to stay healthy or, in other words, to love myself. It is very difficult to give up smoking or other addictions for as long as I preserve this underlying weakness, projected by such exclamations as “I can’t give it up” or “I go crazy if I don’t have my cigarettes”.

Learning to Recover Your Free Will

Similar to using a thorn to pull out another thorn, learning to give up the habit of smoking may be one of the most effective ways to uproot any underlying incompetence and dependency in your life. By suppressing or fighting the habitual desire to smoke, you merely feed it with more of your own energies. This all but increases the addiction. Desires want to be fulfilled, or at least we should be able to decide whether we want to fulfill them or not. The addiction to smoking, which reflects a lack in inner competence and completeness, can actually become a very effective method to fill you up again and regain conscious control over your life. What does that mean, you’ll ask. Smoking is not the problem you need to combat. Just seeing smoking as an addiction that may have horrible consequences is a depressing notion, and fighting it doesn’t raise your self-esteem. Even if you succeed in quitting this habit, you still haven’t regained your inner sense of freedom and are likely to develop an addiction to something else, like eating sweets, drinking alcohol or having sex. Instead of waging a war against your anxiety or poor self-confidence, all you need to do is increase that sense of inner freedom to make your own choices in life.

If understood and dealt with properly, smoking can be one of the most important things that has ever happened to you. It can lead you to adopt an entirely new way of thinking, thus reshaping your destiny. If you are a smoker and wish to give up the habit, you first need to understand that your addiction is not an accidental mistake you made during one of your lower moments in life. You have created this habit not to suffer because of it, but to learn from it. It is likely to stay with you or change into another addictive habit until that day when you will have acquired the ability to refer all power of fulfilling your desires back to yourself. Giving up smoking is not about quitting one addictive habit just to adopt another one; it is about recovering your sense of free will.

To use one’s willpower to fight an undesirable habit is defeating its purpose and likely to backfire because fighting something is based on the premise that you are being attacked or in some sort of danger. With what we know today about the powerful mind/body connection, the fear that underlies the fight against an addiction is enough to keep the cells of the body jittery, anxious and dysfunctional. They can never find the peace, balance, and energy they need in order to be ‘happy’ cells for as long as the fear of not being in control prevails in the awareness of their master. The enzyme-based messages that cells are sending to the brain and heart are simple cries for help. The host interprets these signals, though, as depression and nervousness. To ‘overcome’ the discomfort, at least for a few moments, the host feels compelled to grab the next cigarette or look for another drink. Each time the discomfort reemerges, he or she feels defeated and weakened, and so the addiction carries on.

True willpower, however, is about learning how to make conscious choices. Addictions stick like glue to everyone who wishes to overcome them. They are the ‘ghosts of memory’ who live in our subconscious and pop up every time the addictive substance is in sight or is imagined. The subsequent urge is not under conscious control, hence the feeling of ‘dying’ for a cigarette, a cup of coffee, or a bar of chocolate. It is important, though, to realize that you always have a choice. This is all you need to learn when it comes to overcoming an addiction.

You cannot successfully exorcise the ghost of memory by throwing away your cigarettes, avoiding your smoking friends, or living in a smoke-free environment. Society has condemned the act of smoking so much that many smokers already feel deprived of that sense of personal freedom they need to feel in order to make their own choices in life. If you are a sensitive person, be aware that a nagging spouse, a doctor, and the warning written on cigarette packs that smoking is harmful to your health may make you feel ridden with guilt. When all of this external pressure succeeds in making you give up smoking, you will continue to feel deprived of your free will and, therefore, look for other more socially acceptable forms of addiction.

Making Smoking a Conscious Choice

We all remember our childhood days when our parents told us not to eat chocolate before lunch or would not allow us to watch television when we wanted. The subconscious mind reacts negatively when it is deprived of its ability to make choices or when it feels forced to do something against its will. Disappointments resulting from not being able to fulfill one’s desires can add up and lead to an inner emptiness that wants to be filled. Smoking is simply a subconscious rebellion against the external manipulation of our freedom to choose what we want, and it appears to fill that uncomfortable space within, at least for a little while. However, this inner lack can only subside permanently when we have regained the freedom to make our own choices. You must know that you are free to smoke whenever you like and as often you like. If you have a cigarette and a match to light it, you will certainly find a way to smoke it, too.

The unconscious association of smoking, with all the other ‘don’ts’ in your past, will be negated by accepting your desire to smoke. I had my first cigarette when I entered high school at age ten. I felt like a criminal because the law said I was only allowed to smoke when I was sixteen years old. My parents were certainly strictly against smoking. Years of hiding my ‘secret’ from my parents and my teachers left me with no other choice but to continue smoking until I felt I had a choice. When I finally got the legal permission to smoke, I lost interest and chose to quit. I was able to give up the habit at once, without any withdrawal symptoms.

The first and most important step to quit smoking is to give yourself permission to smoke. Guilt from the act of smoking will only prevent you from gaining satisfaction and urge you to have another cigarette that may ‘at last’ give you what you have been looking for. But you are not really looking for the short sensation of satisfaction that smoking provides but for the lost freedom to make your own choices in life. By trying to avoid lighting up, you also deprive yourself of this potential satisfaction. The resistance to smoking creates powerful psychosomatic side effects. These are known as withdrawal symptoms. Symptoms may include depression, lack of interest in life, sleeplessness, anger, nausea, ravenous hunger, obesity, cardiovascular disease, lack of concentration, and shaking. However, these symptoms can only manifest if you believe that you have been deprived of your freedom to smoke.

Choosing To Smoke Less, But…

Don’t fight your desire to smoke. Contrary to general belief, to give up smoking you do not need to abolish your desire to smoke. You will start giving up the habit automatically once you choose not to follow your desire to smoke each and every time you have it (the desire to smoke).This will take the fuel out of your subconscious, rebellious mind and stop you short of becoming a victim of external forces, situations or people. A master of yourself, you can choose to smoke or choose not to smoke. Keep your cigarettes with you as long as you feel you want to have this choice. It may even be a good idea to encourage your desire to smoke by keeping your cigarette pack in front of you, smelling it from time to time. Watch other people around you light up and inhale, imagining that you inhale deeply too. Do not count the days that pass without you smoking and do not look ahead in time either. You neither need to prove to yourself nor to anyone else that you can beat this addiction. In fact, you don’t want to beat it at all. You want to benefit from it. You are neither a better person if you quit, nor are you a worse person if you don’t. You are free to stop smoking today and begin again tomorrow. You will always have this choice, and you will always be only a puff away from being a smoker, just like the rest of us.

The choice of using and training your free will has to be made in the ever-present moment, right now, and has to be done anew repeatedly many times each day. The longer the periods of time during which you actualize your choice not to smoke, the more quickly diminishes your urge to smoke, becoming less intense each day. Whenever the desire to smoke returns, which is possible because the ghost of memory doesn’t just leave your subconscious overnight, you are once again compelled to make a new choice. This time, however, your conscious mind finds it much easier to stick with its previous successful choice because of the newly improved self-confidence and self-esteem. Setbacks don’t exist in this program; only exercising your freedom of choice does. One way or the other, you are in charge.

The conscious retraining of your mind will benefit your entire life. It will restore your power of using your free will and remove the ‘victim’ within you. Because you have been told so many times in your life that you cannot do this or cannot do that, you began to use this belief dogma to accept your addiction as being too difficult to quit. By reclaiming your power of making conscious choices you will be able to break the self-fulfilling ‘I can’t’ pattern in your life for good. This will become a great asset in every part of your life.

Ending the Addiction

Before you decide to stop smoking (or any other addiction), make sure that you are aware of the following points:

  • Make ending your addiction a priority in your life.
  • Don’t try to make too many other changes in your life at the same time.
  • Don’t reward yourself for ending the habit; quitting is enough of a reward.
  • It is good not to tell anyone about your intention to stop smoking because this only undermines your freedom to choose to smoke.
  • Carry your cigarettes or tobacco with you, so you can choose to smoke whenever you decide to. Also, people will assume you are still smoking; this way you don’t have to prove to anyone that you are capable of quitting the habit.
  • Unless for health reasons, don’t try to avoid places where other people smoke; you want to remain in charge under all circumstances.
  • Realize that unless you are traveling on an airplane or a bus you are always free to smoke whenever you wish to, even if you have to do it out in the cold air.
  • Avoid substituting things like tea, coffee, chocolate, chewing gum, more exercise, drinking mineral water, etc. for cigarettes, as they won’t satisfy your desire to smoke in the long run.
  • Choose a starting time of your program to stop smoking that does not coincide with an emotional upheaval or stressful situation. It is best to link the starting date with a positive event in your life. New moon day is one of the best days to start quitting.
  • Think about all the benefits that will come to you when you stop smoking, i.e., better health, less mucus discharge from the lungs, cleaner breath, saving money, etc.
  • Acknowledge your desire to smoke when it comes up by saying to yourself: “I really have the desire to smoke now and I feel free to do so, but right now I decide not to smoke.” When the desire to smoke returns in an hour or so, you may choose to fulfill it this time. This will teach you to consciously accept your desire to smoke, but not always fulfill it. By choosing not to smoke each time the desire emerges, you train your mind to make conscious choices.
  • Often, your desire to smoke is coupled with clues like drinking a cup of coffee, the ringing of the telephone, waiting for a bus or a taxi, or switching on the television set. Your addiction is a ‘program’ that you have written in your subconscious mind and associated with such clues. As the clues occur, your desire to smoke pops up, too. The next time you want to smoke when the telephone rings, while you drink a cup of coffee, or after you switch on the TV, make the conscious choice to wait for a few minutes until you have the time or opportunity to smoke consciously. Another suggestion is to smoke somewhere in the house or garden where you usually don’t smoke. This will sever the ties to your subconscious and make your decision whether to smoke or not a more conscious one.
  • Allow your desire to smoke to become quite strong before you actually reach for the cigarette; in other words, you will still have the freedom to smoke but postpone your decision for a while until you really feel the discomfort. Notice where in your body you feel tense, irritable or nervous. It is important to feel how strong your desire to smoke becomes before you light up. Most smokers give into the slightest urge to smoke and do not even notice when they light up. You want to break the pattern of doing things unconsciously.
  • To make it easier to quit smoking (or any other addiction), drink half a glass (or more) of water (at room temperature) before you choose to smoke a cigarette every time you have the urge to smoke. Physically speaking, the urge to smoke is directly linked to toxins that were deposited in the connective tissues of the body and are now entering the blood, increasing blood thickness. The thickening of blood generally causes irritation, nervousness and anxiety, even panic. Instead of pushing the toxins back into the connective tissues (as they will surely reemerge) drinking a glass of water will make your blood thinner, which will help to remove the toxins from the body. Thus, the urge to smoke lessens each time you do this and eventually disappears altogether.
  • Finally, your addiction to smoking is not something terrible that you need to get rid of. It is rather an opportunity to train yourself to become the master of your destiny. In this sense, your addiction can become one of the very best teachers you have ever had.

Summary of the Technique to Stop Smoking:

  1. Whenever you feel the urge to smoke, repeat to yourself: “I want to smoke now.” This will bring your desire to smoke from your subconscious into your conscious mind and allow you enough time to make the conscious choice of whether to smoke or not to smoke. Drinking half a glass of water also brings the desire into your conscious mind.
  2. Then say to yourself:“I have the free choice to smoke now.” If you do not remind yourself of your inherent freedom of making choices, your subconscious, addicted mind may believe that you can’t smoke anymore and may go into a state of rebellion. This may cause withdrawal symptoms.
  3. If you feel a desperate need to smoke, acknowledge your desire by saying:“I choose to begin smoking again.” Before you reach for a cigarette check whether this is what you really want. Or you may repeat to yourself: “For the moment I accept that I want to smoke, but I choose not to at this time.” Think about how you would feel if you stopped smoking altogether.

Follow this simple sequence every time you have the desire to smoke. The technique is fool proof because you cannot go wrong, whatever the outcome. Whether you decide to continue smoking or not, you have begun to become ‘aware’ and exercised your free will – a prerequisite to consciously taking charge of your life. The majority of people who follow this simple program give up smoking within one week, others take a little longer. How long it takes to quit is not important. What is important, though, is that you experience a major positive shift in your thinking and in your attitude towards yourself and others.

All the research studies which show that smoking is a hazard to your health have missed the point. Instead of condemning people who smoke, we should show them ways to learn from this addictive habit as we can learn from any other problem in life.

This technique works equally well for any other addiction, including coffee, alcohol, drugs, sleeping pills, sugar, salt, sex, and even work. I suggest that you read this section as often as it takes to familiarize yourself with the major points, or at least once a week.

Honey – The World’s Best Wound Healer

By Andreas Moritz

Would you have ever guessed that this delicious food made by honeybees is actually one of mankind’s oldest-known medicines? Dating as far back as 5,000 years, honey has been successfully used to treat burns, coughs and ulcers. Hippocrates, the Greek physiciana, also praised honey’s healing powers and came up with many honey-based treatments for ailments such as skin disorders, ulcers and sores.

In World War I, German physicians used a mixture of honey and cod liver oil to treat gunshot wounds. According to John Riddle, professor of ancient science at North Carolina State University, a medical text written on papyrus from 3000 years B.C. specifies the use of honey for head wounds. He says that perhaps “the honey helped prevent swelling and sealed off the wound to keep air and infection out”.

Recent research shows that honey is far superior to antiseptics and antibiotics. Israeli researchers took honey to the test. They applied the sweet, sticky food twice a day to wounds of nine infants after two weeks of intravenous antibiotic treatment and daily antiseptic cleansing failed to heal them. Following just five days of honey treatment, the babies’ wounds improved significantly. After 16 more days, they were closed, clean, and sterile.

In a Yemeni study, honey was shown to have a significant advantage over antiseptics used for infected surgical wounds. 50 women whose wounds became infected were divided into 2 groups. One group was treated with honey, the other with antiseptics. The patients in the honey group recovered within 7 to 11 days, whereas the antiseptic group needed 12 to 27 days.

Although modern creams and antibiotics may have healing effects, they have the disadvantage of killing tissue and causing scabs and scars. But how many of us would think of putting honey under that Band-Aid or bandage? Like in the above studies, results of a three-year clinical trial at the University Teaching Hospital in Calabar, Nigeria, showed that unprocessed honey can heal wounds when more modern dressings and antibiotic treatments fail. In 59 patients treated for wounds and external ulcers, honey was effective in all but one case. Much to the surprise of the researchers, topical applications kept sterile wounds sterile until they had time to heal, while infected wounds became sterile within a week. Astonishingly, honey was even shown to remove dead tissue from persistent wounds, helping some patients avoid skin grafts or amputations.

According to the European Journal of Medical Research, topical honey proved to have positive effects on post-operative wound infections due to gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria following Caesarean sections and hysterectomies.

“Honey provides a moist healing environment, yet prevents bacterial growth even when wounds are heavily infected,” notes Dr. Peter Molan of the Honey Research Unit at the University of Waikato, New Zealand. “It is a very effective means of quickly rendering heavily infected wounds sterile, without the side effects of antibiotics, and it is even effective against antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.”

The reason honey is able to stop infection may actually be quite simple. Ordinary honey ties up water so that bacteria in a wound have insufficient water to multiply. The water activity of honey inhibits bacterial growth. In addition, the pH of honey is between 3.2 and 4.5 – low enough to inhibit the growth of many common bacteria. The major antibacterial activity in honey, however, is thought to be due to hydrogen peroxide, which is produced enzymatically. The level of hydrogen peroxide produced is antibacterial, but doesn’t damage the cell tissues.

In July 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration – believe it or not – gave Derma Sciences, a New Jersey-based manufacturer of wound-care products, clearance to sell Manuka wound and burn dressings as medical devices. Now Manuka honey can officially be used in wound and burn care in the United States. Manuka honey has already been used as wound dressing for several years in Great Britain, Australia, and its native New Zealand. Canada also approved it for use as an antimicrobial dressing in early 2007. Honey used to be a standard conventional therapy in fighting infection up until the early 20th century. With the advent of penicillin, knowledge of honey’s powerful healing ability began to fade from public awareness, and doctors were simply too excited over using the new miracle drug.

Compared to other types of honey, Manuka has an extra ingredient with antimicrobial qualities, called the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF), according to an article published in the Washington Post August 7, 2007. Apparently, the higher the concentration of UMF, the darker, thicker and more expensive the honey is. In this situation, it may pay off to use the most expensive honey available. However, even ordinary natural honey has amazing healing properties.

Applications:

Apply honey to cuts, scrapes, or burns and cover with a clean bandage. Change dressings one to three times daily, as needed.

  • Use honey as a first-aid dressing material where there could be time for infection to set in before medical treatment is obtained.
  • For internal disinfection and as a preventative measure, every morning, drink a glass of warm water with a teaspoon of honey and a little lemon juice.
  • Honey also has sleep-inducing, sedative and tranquilizing properties.
  • Nursing salve: Nursing mothers, try covering cracked, sore nipples with honey-soaked gauze to prevent infection.
  • For heartburn, take 1 teaspoon of raw honey mixed with 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.

 Note: Excessive heat (don’t cook or bake with it) or prolonged exposure to light can rob honey of its antibacterial properties. Always store in a dark, cool place.

Autoimmune Disease Myths Unraveled – PART 2

By Andreas Moritz 

Autoimmune Disease Myths Unraveled – PART 2

Dear Friends,

In case you’ve missed part 1, you may read it here

Of course, adding the mercury-containing preservative Thimerosal to vaccines and other medical drugs only further sensitizes the immune system. Thimerosal is now the fifth most common allergen, according to the North American Contact Dermatitis Group (NACDG).[1] Most of the flu vaccines given to millions of children and adults each year contain this neurotoxin and are much responsible for the massive allergy epidemics afflicting the immunized population.

Flu vaccines can do more than just cause autoimmune diseases. The flu vaccine may even pose an immediate risk to your cardiovascular system. One 2007 study published in the Annals of Medicine, concluded that:Abnormalities in arterial function and LDL oxidation may persist for at least two weeks after a slight inflammatory reaction induced by influenza vaccination. These could explain in part the earlier reported increase in cardiovascular risk during the first weeks after an acute inflammatory disorder.”

How many people die from a heart attack after receiving a flu shot? I don’t think we’ll ever find out. However, we now know for certain that the true risks of vaccination have been deliberately kept from us by those agencies that are responsible for public health.

 CDC Caught Deliberately Falsifying Vaccine Research

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have for many years denied a possible link between mercury in vaccines and autism. However, in October 2011, the CDC has been caught deliberately fudging data to try to cover up evidence linking mercury in vaccines with autism.[2]

To conceal any incriminating vaccine data the CDC had handed its massive database of vaccine records over to a private company, effectively pronouncing it off-limits to researchers and preventing dissemination of the data through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

However, this didn’t stop the Coalition for Mercury-Free Drugs (CoMeD).  During an enquiry through FOIA it was discovered, as suspected, that the same original Danish study which the CDC referred to as ‘definitive evidence’ that Thimerosal does not increase a child’s chances of developing autism, actually revealed the exact opposite to be true. The Danish research is irrefutably clear about the findings: Thimerosal in vaccines increases a person’s chances of developing autism and other neurological diseases.

In the United States, at least one in every 100 vaccinated children is afflicted with autism, while only 1 in every 2,000 non-vaccinated children has the disease. In European countries like Iceland, where children receive just one third the number of vaccines shots, only 1 in 30,000 children have autism. One doesn’t need to be a scientist to make sense of this man-made tragedy.

The cover-up by the CDC has let those responsible for the huge autism epidemic, which began ever since mercury and adjuvants were first added to vaccines, off the hook. Without this elaborate conspiracy against the people, libel lawsuits resulting from permanent vaccine injuries in children would have bankrupted numerous governments, including the United States and Great Britain, and almost the entire pharmaceutical industry.

All vaccines significantly alter the immune system and, therefore, play a major role in triggering autoimmune diseases and numerous other health conditions. In a 2005 epidemiological study covering over 151 previously conducted studies, researchers from the Department of Health Care and Epidemiology, University of British Columbia found an inverse association between acute infections and cancer development.[3] The study found that suppressing childhood infections with vaccines significantly increases one’s risk of developing cancer later in life.

Chronic diseases were extremely rare over 100 years ago when few vaccines were given to the population.  The more vaccines are administered, the more compromised the immune system becomes.[4] Most diseases back then used to be acute infections resulting from poor hygiene and nutrition, contaminated drinking water and overcrowded cities. Even the CDC admits on their web site that clean water is more effective in preventing infectious diseases than vaccines. The only problem with using clean water as the preferred medicine is that, unlike with mass vaccination, one cannot make the same billions of dollars of profit year after year by installing some simple water purification devices in affected communities, or by educating the people that drinking clean non-fluoridated water is what keeps the body healthy and the immune system strong.

Science is beginning to recognize that damaging the intestinal lining through harsh, erosive chemicals, dehydration and poor nutrition is causing for more diseases than previously thought.  Recently, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, discovered that that a once mysterious cell population which lurks in the intestinal lining is essential for preventing normally beneficial  bacteria from invading into deeper tissue where they can cause debilitating conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).[5]

According to the research findings, people suffering from the disease frequently have more bacteria that adhere to, or invade, their gut lining. When their immune system mounts an attack on these microbial invaders, they can develop painful ulcers and bloody diarrhea.

The researchers also found that a specialized T cell normally present on body surfaces such as the skin and the gastrointestinal tract patrols intestinal borders, sensing when microorganisms have invaded the epithelial cells lining the intestine. “When this happens, these T cells swing into action, making antibiotic proteins that kill the rogue bacteria and prevent their entry into deeper tissue.” said Dr. Hooper, who is also an investigator for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at UT Southwestern. This action lasts for several hours until other immune cells can be recruited as backup. However, there are consequences when the intestinal tract becomes a constant battleground.

A battleground is recognized by its devastated environment. Overexposure to toxins, food additives, trans fatty acids (as found in fast foods, such as hamburgers and French fries), medical drugs, alcohol, undigested putrefied foods, denatured proteins, and more, can easily cause what is known as “leaky gut”, a condition where bacteria and toxins enter the intestinal tissues, blood and lymph. An initially limited and localized immune reaction may then escalate and spread to other areas in the body. T cells are only supposed to deal with foreign invaders, but they will need to be activated against the body’s own tissues when toxins (antigens) begin to accumulate there.

The encounter with the antigens raises the level of antigen/antibody complexes in the blood and upsets the fine balance that exists between the immune reaction and its suppression. Autoimmune diseases, which indicate an extremely high level of toxicity in the body, directly result from a disturbance of this balance. If antibody production is continually high in synovial joints, inflammation becomes chronic, leading to gradually increasing deformity, pain, and loss of function.

The overuse of the immune system leads to self-destruction in the body. If this form of self-destruction occurs, for example, in the fatty myelin sheath of nerve tissue, it is called Multiple Sclerosis. However, we know that fat tissue is capable of absorbing a large amount of toxins and harmful heavy metals, thereby keeping them from doing direct harm.

Naturally, toxins migrate toward fatty tissue. A fatty liver is a merely a survival attempt by the body to deal with the load of toxins the liver can longer break down and remove because of chronic congestion of its bile ducts. Yet, seen from a deeper perspective, what appears to be the body’s act of self-destruction is but a final attempt at self-preservation. The body only “attacks” itself if the toxicity has increased to such a degree that it could cause more damage than an autoimmune response would.

The body certainly has no intention of committing suicide, although the term “autoimmune disease” implies just that. When the body’s cell membranes are clogged with foreign, harmful chemicals, foreign protein fragments and toxic particles like trans fatty acids, it is an absolutely normal response by the immune system to attack these contaminants. The resulting inflammation provides it with the opportunity to ‘wash out’ and remove at least some of the toxins. To call this survival response a disease makes no sense, is unscientific and reflects a lack of knowledge of the true nature of the body.

Gallstones inhibit the body’s ability to keep itself nourished and clean, which makes them a leading cause of toxicity. They prevent the liver from adequately taking noxious substances out of the bloodstream. If the liver cannot filter out toxins from the blood, they end up being dumped into the extracellular fluid. The more toxins accumulate in the extracellular fluid, the more severely that cell membranes become clogged with injurious materials. An autoimmune response may be necessary to destroy the most contaminated cells and thereby save the rest of the body, at least for a while. When all gallstones are removed from the liver and gallbladder, the immune system does not have to take recourse to such extreme measures of defending the body on the cellular level.

A healthy, balanced diet can, of course, greatly support the body in maintaining a balanced immune system. For example, research conducted at the University of Cambridge and published in the journal Cell in October 2011 revealed that compounds found in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, kale, bok choy, and many varieties of leafy greens act as chemical signals necessary for a fully functioning immune system.[6]

With my best wishes,

Andreas

How Infection Can Prevent and Cure Cancer

By Andreas Moritz 

How Infection Can Prevent and Cure Cancer

The Amazing Role of Germs and Infections

Life on earth would not be possible without infectious bacteria, fungi  and viruses. Their existence and endless, continuous interactions with humans and animals over millions of years have trained and evolved into what today we refer to as the immune system. Our ability to live in harmony with our external environment is, in fact, rooted in our life-long relationship with these germs.

Even though we have many times the number of germs inside our body than we have cells, we have been taught to be afraid of them and fight especially those that are considered pathogenic (disease-causing). Nobody has told us, though, that acute infection can be a desirable event, even a necessary one if we want to make it through life without incurring a major life-threatening illness. A viral infection that causes mumps in a child at the age of 7 to 10, for example, is part of nature’s vaccination program to boost natural immunity, especially if it is too weak.

Each new encounter with a germ and a possible, resulting infection further strengthen the immune system until it is fully developed and capable of living in complete harmony with the natural environment. This doesn’t mean, though, that a child must become sick in order to develop a healthy immune system. Most infections actually occur ‘silently’, without the person ever developing the symptoms of illness. Since mass vaccination was introduced around the world, nearly every child is now being infected with different viruses by injection from the day of birth until at least age 15.  Sometimes, the child gets injected with three different viruses at the same time (through the Mumps/Measles/Rubella vaccine).

Vaccinations crudely interrupt or even inhibit the natural immunization program devised by nature itself. This unwise intervention can have unexpected and potentially devastating consequences throughout a person’s life. Ever since it was discovered that the presence of infectious agents, like e. Coli bacteria in our gut are a prerequisite for having a healthy gut immune system, some of us have begun to respect these germs as friends, not enemies. But isolating such germs from their natural environment, breeding them and manipulating them in a test tube, and then injecting them into the blood of humans, can turn these otherwise highly beneficial infectious agents into deadly weapons against which the body is defenseless.

A newborn animal or child can become blind by depriving it of light for an extended period of time. Likewise, a child’s cellular immune system is rendered useless unless it becomes exposed to the germs that inhabit our environment.

Vaccines Contribute to the Emergence of Superbugs

Modern vaccination programs are increasingly turning these useful, intelligent germs into mutated monsters that lack the natural interaction with the human body; a relationship that took millions of years to develop. I have already discussed the spreading of antibiotic-resistant organisms in my recent newsletter, “Superbugs – Mankind’s Greatest Health Threat?” Repeatedly injecting almost the entire child population with antibiotics which are added to all vaccines to kill off bacteria is taking its toll.

The spreading of superbugs due to mass vaccination makes the human body increasingly defenseless to even the most harmless bugs. Those who take additional antibiotics for other infections are the most susceptible to become infected with a superbug, such as the new anti-biotic resistant strains of E. Coli bacteria that are currently sickening people and taking lives in Europe. In addition, if someone eats meat from animals that were also treated with antibiotics (a normal practice), or vegetables that were fertilized with the excrements from these animals, one may be infected by such superbugs. According to a newly released study, 48 percent of all meat products are contaminated with antibiotic resistant superbugs.

It would normally take hundreds or thousands of years for the human immune system to develop a purposeful relationship with these new organisms that never existed before in the Earth’s history. We now have a population that depends on immunization, not the immune system. But immunization is not only saving us from anything, but it is turning harmless gut bacteria into powerful killers. Even though vaccine-producers keep coming up with new vaccines against newly evolving or mutating germs all the time, this war cannot be won. By allowing our bodies to become vaccinated, we declare war on our immune systems.

With each vaccine received, our immune system becomes suppressed further. There are two parts to the human immune system. The book, Vaccine-nation, provides the scientific evidence that shows vaccination suppresses the primary immune system located in the gut, also called cellular immune system. Vaccines bypass this essential part of the immune system and merely provoke the secondary immune response, also called the anti-body response. However, while activating the anti-body response, vaccines automatically shut down the primary immune system, which poses a long-term health risk. A normal exposure to pathogens always begins in the nasal, ear, throat, and respiratory passages, never through injection. Once primary immunity has been established by going though an infection, the antibody response follows. This allows the immune system to grow stronger and learn to bestow natural and permanent immunity to an ever-increasing number of pathogens.

Just evoking an antibody response without first establishing primary immunity has serious consequences, one of which is that the primary immune system is actually being prevented from having a healthy, normal immune response. That’s why the vaccinated population has a much higher rate of infections than the non-vaccinated population. For example, research shows that vaccinated versus unvaccinated children suffer: -  five times more asthma -  nearly three times more allergies -  over three times more ear infections -  over four times more apnea and near miss cot death -  nearly four times more bouts of recurring tonsillitis -  ten times more hyperactivity Vaccinated children also have 317% more ADHD, 185% more neurologic disorders and 146% more autism than non-vaccinated children.

Just last week, a report out of Pakistan showed that 78 percent of children afflicted with polio are fully vaccinated against it. Many parents are now worried that the polio vaccine causes paralysis of their children, for good reason. The polio vaccine has been the main reason behind polio outbreaks in recent history.

Bottom line, a sabotaged immune system lies at the basis of nearly every illness that plagues humankind, polio and cancer included. Vaccines injure the liver, kidneys, digestive system, brain, and foremost, the immune system. Those with the weakest immune systems suffer the most from artificial immunization.

Why Infections Can Save Lives

Infection is one of the greatest cures there can be. In fact, infection can prevent cancer and other illnesses, and yes, cure them. In a 2005 epidemiological study covering over 151 previous studies, researchers from the Department of Health Care and Epidemiology, University of British Columbia found an inverse association between acute infections and cancer development. According to the abstract of this study, entitled, “Acute infections as a means of cancer prevention: Opposing effects to chronic infections?”, exposures to febrile infectious childhood diseases were associated with subsequently reduced risks for melanoma, ovary, and multiple cancers combined, significant in the latter two groups.

Furthermore, epidemiological studies on common acute infections in adults and subsequent cancer development found these infections to be associated with reduced risks for meningioma, glioma, melanoma and multiple cancers combined, significantly for the latter three groups. Overall, risk reduction increased with the frequency of infections, with febrile infections affording the greatest protection. In other words, children who experienced all the typical childhood infections were most protected from developing cancers in adult life.

At a time when cancer is going to affect one in every two people, this finding should have made national news, and it should be taught at medical schools. National health policies should have been alternated radically, but nothing ever happened. We are still being told that having mumps in children must be avoided at all costs. Never mind that the temporary inconvenience of a largely harmless infection could protect a person from developing a devastating form of cancer 20 or 30 years later, which, in turn, is typically attacked with potentially deadly methods of treatment (chemotherapy, radiation and surgery).

The discovery that acute infections are clearly antagonistic to cancer helps us understand why artificially induced fever has been successfully used for the treatment of cancer in European countries, especially in Germany. Of course, many doctors now treat fever as it were a disease and often prescribe toxic pharmaceuticals to put out the ‘dangerous fire.’ Yet, since fever is the body’s natural way of healing and eliminating pathogens such as infectious viruses and bacteria, squashing it with medication practically prevents any effective healing in the body. Fortunately, some good researchers now stand up for the body’s innate healing tactics, which our mothers and grandmothers had known about all along.

French microbiologist Dr. Andre Lwoff has discovered that fever cures even incurable diseases. One of the world’s leading cancer specialists, Dr. Josef Issels, wrote along these lines: “Artificially induced fever has the greatest potential in the treatment of many diseases, including cancer.” And Oxford professor Dr. David Mychles and his research team have independently proven the effectiveness of induced fever for treating disease, including cancer. There is further historical evidence that infection prevents cancer in the population.  For example, Rome (Italy) used be surrounded by swamps that bred malaria mosquitoes, infecting many in the city. The fever that Romans developed from time to time, though, kept their cancer rates well below the average found in the rest of Italy. Then the government decided to drain the swamps, but soon Rome’s cancer rate increased dramatically to the normal rate in Italy. If you piled up kitchen garbage in one area of your house, it would attract a lot of flies and bacteria, and this would generate a foul-smelling odor. You would certainly not blame the flies and bacteria for the stench. They are just trying to digest some of the garbage. Likewise, those microbes that are attracted to or are produced inside unhealthy cells are not part of the problem; they are part of the solution to the problem. An infection, if properly supported by natural approaches of cleansing and nourishment, can practically prevent the genetic mutation of aerobic cells into cancer cells.

Cancer and infection share some of the same original causes. For this reason, a significant number of cancer patients who suffer a major infection such as the chickenpox go into total remission and are subsequently found cancer-free once the infection has passed. According to these 151 studies conducted in the past 100 or more years, spontaneous tumor regression has followed bacterial, fungal,viral, and protozoal infections.  During episodes of fever, tumors literally break up, and the cancer cells are promptly removed via the lymphatic system and other organs of elimination. During such a major infection—which is nothing but an appropriate healing response initiated by bacteria and the immune system—a considerable amount of toxic waste is broken down and removed from the body. This, once again, permits oxygen to reach the oxygen-deprived cells. Upon contact with the oxygen, the cancer cells die or otherwise mutate back into normal cells. The tumors have no more reason to be there, hence, the occurrence of spontaneous remission of cancer in these patients. In some cases, brain tumors as large as the size of an egg have literally disappeared in this way within 24 hours.

The standard approach of suppressing infection and its resultant fever among hospital patients is medical malpractice and stands responsible for the loss of millions of lives that could easily have been saved by letting nature do its job. Fever is one of the prime reasons that parents call their children’s doctors, and it is true that any fever in an infant younger than 3 months is cause for major concern, as there is a risk of serious bacterial infections. Also, a child who has a seizure with fever should be checked by a physician, at least the first time. In most cases, though, these infections follow exposure to the cocktail of poisons and foreign DNA material contained in vaccines. However, fever is actually a signal that an immune system is working well and in older children who do not appear to be particularly distressed, fever is a very positive sign. It is evidence that the child has an active immune system. Fever does not harm the brain or the body, although it does increase one’s need for fluids. You can find more information about how to nurture a child through an illness in my book, Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation.

The main message here is to learn to trust in the wisdom of the body. Instead of believing those who claim the body makes mistakes and germs are out to harm us, you may just as well adopt the belief that both actually collaborate to keep us alive and healthy for a long time. In good health, Andreas Moritz

You may recall reading about the importance of acute infections in cancer prevention & cure in my book, Cancer is Not a Disease.  I have just received the translation of an excellent paper on this subject, recently published in a Dutch journal. Science: Increase in cancer cases as a consequence of eliminating febrile infectious diseases If you know anyone with cancer, please pass it on to them. It contains all the references to the scientific studies that support the claims I’ve made in my article and book.

Aloe Vera – An Ancient Healer

By Andreas Moritz 

Throughout the ages, aloe vera has been known as the ‘medicine plant’, ‘burn plant’, ‘first-aid plant’ or ‘miracle plant’. Even today, it is one of the most effective plants for treating burns, healing wounds and relieving aches and pains. It is recommended for psoriasis, where, when used regularly, it reduces scaling and itching and greatly improves appearance.

Aloe vera became very popular for its use in combating the severe burning effects caused by x-rays and nuclear disasters. Radiation burns cause skin ulcerations that had been nearly incurable until physicians began trying the old folk remedy of the aloe leaf.

Today, this plant has gained such great popularity that it is being used in many cosmetics and health products. Aloe vera juice that is taken internally has been found to be effective in almost every illness, including cancer, heart disease and AIDS. In fact, there is hardly any disease or health problem for which this miracle plant has not been proven successful. It is helpful for all kinds of allergies, skin diseases, blood disorders, arthritis, infections, yeast overgrowth, cysts, diabetes, eye problems, digestive disorders, ulcers, liver diseases, hemorrhoids, high blood pressure, kidney stones and stroke, to name a few.

Its use is most beneficial if treatments are applied both internally and externally. It contains over 200 nutrients, including the vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, C, E, Folic acid, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, manganese, copper, barium, sulphate, 18 amino acids, important enzymes, glycosides, polysaccharides, etc.

There are an estimated 500 published independent research studies conducted by doctors and scientists on the healing agent found in the aloe vera plant and it’s non-toxic benefits. That is many more studies than one would find on any other natural substance, and hundreds of times the confirmation of safety and effectiveness of any drug available.

A word of caution: watch out for the frauds:

Since the consumer market has created a great demand for aloe vera juice, production is increasing rapidly. Unfortunately, many brands contain inadequate amounts of the plant juice to be effective. According to the law, if you take a 10,000-gallon vat and put 9,999 gallons of water in it and then add one gallon of aloe vera juice, you are allowed to advertise that it contains ’100 percent pure stabilized aloe vera’. You are not required to mention how much extra water has been added to the 100 percent aloe vera juice. Hence many people are disappointed because they do not receive the acclaimed benefits. Before using any brand it is good to check out the exact table of contents as mentioned in a company’s brochure or better ask the company to give you the exact figures of contents.

Also, don’t be tempted to buy the cheapest aloe juice for it is expensive. If you are not getting any benefits from it, you may have chosen the wrong product. Try other brands until you are satisfied. Tests have shown that less than one percent of readily available brands contain acceptable levels of aloe vera to be of any medicinal value. From the over 1,000 brands of aloe vera available on the market today, some hardly have a trace of the plant extract in them. Their labels contain such phrases ‘it tastes like mineral water’ and ‘no additives or preservatives’. Chemical analysis reveals that these ‘products’ contain almost nothing but plain mineral water.

The good news is that more and more people have begun to see through the fraud business; hence, many other companies are now also introducing the real thing.

There is an excellent new aloe vera product in powdered form, which dissolves in water; it is thus more convenient than having to buy the bottled juice. It is completely free of additives.

Please Note: With regular drinking of aloe vera, diabetics may improve the ability of the pancreas to produce more of its own insulin. Since too much insulin is dangerous, diabetics should consult their physician to monitor their need for extra insulin. Many diabetics report a reduction in the amount of insulin required. Also if you experience diarrhea or intestinal cramping for more than two to three days, discontinue. This is due to irritants the plant contains. Instead, you may choose a product that has all irritants removed.

The Benefits Of Ghee And How To Prepare It

By Andreas Moritz

The Benefits of Ghee

Ghee is clarified butter. Although it is prepared completely from butter, its properties, according to Ayurveda, are very different from butter itself. Once of the most obvious differences is that all of the milk protein has been removed. Ghee is pure fat with none of the impurities that may be found in butter. Unlike butter, ghee contains no bacteria and it is not prone to turning rancid, even after storing it for several months outside the refrigerator.

In many cases, ghee is recommended in the diet. It is particularly useful for the Pitta constitution; it helps to digest and absorb food better and makes food tastier, although not everyone will agree. Its benefit lies in the fact that it stimulates AGNI without upsetting Pitta dosha. Also, Vata and even Kapha types benefit from ghee. Unless you have access to an Indian health food store that sells ghee, you will have to prepare it yourself, using the following recipe.

How To Prepare Ghee at home

  1. Place any amount of unsalted butter in a deep porcelain, Pyrex or stainless steel pan over medium-low heat. (Be sure that the butter does not scorch while melting) Allow complete melting to occur, and then reduce the heat to low.
  2. During the next 30-40 minutes, the water in the butter will boil away. (Approximately 20 percent of butter is composed of water) Milk solids will appear on the surface of the liquid and at the bottom of the pan.
  3. Be alert to remove the liquid from the heat as the milk solids turn golden brown on the bottom of the pan. Otherwise, the ghee may burn. At this point, you may notice that the ghee smells like popcorn, and you can see tiny bubbles rising from the bottom.
  4. Strain it while still hot or warm, pouring it through a cotton cloth into a stainless steel or heavy glass container. At this point it is very hot, so you should always be cautious. Another way of doing this is to let the ghee cool down, and then strain it by pouring it through a cotton cloth or a handkerchief directly into clean glass jars or bowls.
  5. Ghee can be stored at room temperature for several weeks, and it keeps indefinitely when kept in the refrigerator. Put a teaspoonful (per person) into food or on food after cooking it. Ghee can be used in the same way as cooking oil, in place of butter, or as a digestive aid dripped over food.

 Note: Caution should always be observed when handling hot liquids. Ghee should never be left unattended during the heating process.

Superbugs – Mankind’s Greatest Health Threat?

By Andreas Moritz

The subject of superbugs is a topic that is becoming increasingly important for many people right now. We are now collectively facing the serious consequences of combating infections with medical drugs instead of understanding the real reasons behind infection and subsequently treating them in ways that truly benefit the body, not harm it.

The antibiotic approach to treating infections is costing human society more than anyone could have anticipated. The bugs that were ‘successfully’ subdued with antibiotics for decades are now taking revenge by producing what is known as ‘antibiotic-resistant organisms’, i.e. superbugs that defy antibiotic treatment.

Some 100,000 Americans suffer potentially deadly infections each year from a drug-resistant ‘staph superbug’. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), more people now die from these superbugs than from AIDS diseases. Recent nationwide outbreaks of infections caused by superbugs killed teenagers in U.S. schools, reflecting the natural consequence of indiscriminate and irresponsible use of antibiotics in this country.

Just a few days ago the media reported about a new study that showed 47 percent of the meat sold in the United States is contaminated with antibiotic-resistant organisms. Most cattle in the US are pumped full with antibiotics for infections they develop as result of improper feeds, growth hormones, and unhealthy living conditions. If you handle such a piece of germ-infested meat and then touch a fruit or vegetable and subsequently eat it, you may subsequently become infected with a potentially deadly germ, or so we are told.

We are now being warned about an imminent new epidemic that involves superbugs. Before the recent announcement that superbugs are infesting nearly half of US meat supplies, in March 2011 health officials warned that California is being hit by a superbug. Over 350 cases of Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, CRKP, have been reported in Los Angeles County alone. The CDC announced a 40 percent mortality rate for those who become infected. Of course, antibiotics are ineffective against this superbug. Now it appears that the disease has spread to most of the country. Should we all be scared?

Officials are saying that The CRKP bug is mostly impacting hospital patients, elderly patients at nursing homes, and other long-term care facilities. These are the places where antibiotics are most frequently and often unnecessarily administered. However this assessment is outdated and no longer valid.

Previously only found in hospital settings, drug-resistant staph germs are now also spreading through prisons, gyms and locker rooms, and poor urban neighborhoods. They can enter the blood, kidneys, liver, lungs and muscles around the heart. Most cases exhibit life-threatening bloodstream infections. However, about 10 percent of the cases involved the so-called flesh-eating disease, according to a study led by researchers at the federal CDC. It is estimated that 18,650 people die annually from this particular superbug, which is about 1,500 more than those who die from AIDS in the U.S. each year.

Bacteria Are Smarter Than We Think

It is a law of nature that every living organism wants to live and survive for as long as it possibly can. Bacteria that are repeatedly exposed to antibiotics will, therefore, try to become immune to them. To survive such assaults, bacteria have their own sophisticated defense strategies, which are in a way similar to ours when we need to defend ourselves against invasive bacteria or viruses. One possible way for bacteria to evade an antibiotic attack is to mutate their genes. As a result, the bacteria become resistant to the active ingredients of a drug, which subsequently renders the drug ineffective.

You may have wondered why so many brands of antibiotics stay on the market for relatively short periods of time. One reason for this is that the bacteria keep outsmarting the antibiotics, and more powerful drugs are then needed kill the newly created strains of bacteria. Another reason for withdrawing brands from the market is the increasingly frequent occurrence of serious side effects that arise from repeatedly giving the drugs to the same patients.

The more we use these drugs, the more resistant the bacteria will become. Top researchers in this field already admit that they are fighting a losing battle. We have overused antibiotics to a degree that every disease-causing bacterium has now developed mutated versions that resist at least one antibiotic.

When an antibiotic attacks a colony of bacteria, most of them die. Yet some of the microbes survive because they harbor mutant genes that resist destruction. These mutant bacteria then pass on their resistant genes to other bacteria, and within 24 hours each of them may have left an estimated 16,777,220 offspring, equally resistant to the antibiotic. The problem is that you can never predict whether this will happen to you when your doctor gives you an antibiotic.

Bacterial Warfare Leads to Self Destruction

But the nightmare doesn’t stop here. The mutant bacteria begin to share their resistant genes with other unrelated microbes they contact, making all sorts of microorganisms resistant to treatment as well. The well-known microbiologist Stanley Falkow once said that bacteria are ‘clever little devils’ that can become resistant to drugs they’ve never met and anticipate confrontations with other ones.

In this way, relatively harmless bacteria turn into superbugs, capable of evading any attack by medical drugs. They lurk particularly in places where antibiotics are most often used, i.e. hospitals and nursing homes. According to recent research findings, five to ten percent of all people checking into hospitals today are going to get infected as a result of antibiotic-resistant bacteria lodging within these buildings.

Except for the sterile environment of surgery theatres, the superbugs can be found riding on dust particles of the heating and air-conditioning systems, in bathrooms and toilets, and even in the food. They account for most of the deaths in hospitals today. The superbugs ‘choose’ patients whose immune systems have already been compromised as a result of sickness, injury, surgery, and/or previous encounters with antibiotics.

In healthy people with a strong immune system, these bugs can live on their skin or in their noses without infecting them. In other words, under normal circumstances, we can live with the bugs without ever getting infected and, even if we did get infected, our body would deal with them effectively while becoming immune to them. However, this natural resistance to the bugs decreases drastically with the first course of antibiotics taken for a simple infection. Vaccines, which also contain antibiotics, are of course, a leading cause of an increasingly widespread occurrence of superbugs, given the number of people who have been and still are being vaccinated against infectious diseases, including the flu (for more details, check out my new book, Vaccine-nation: Poisoning the Population, One Shot at a Time).

Superbugs Are Not The Enemy

Because of the excessive use of antibiotics through mass vaccination and inside and outside of hospitals, antibiotic-resistant organisms have now become the most common cause of infection. To make matters worse, in many countries people can now acquire antibiotics over the counter.

Since precise dosage depends on the individual and the potency of the infection, and since there is no clear time limit to the number of courses a person may require to kill all the germs, antibiotics can never be considered ‘safe’. Interrupted intake or too low a drug dose can encourage the growth of resistant bacteria, which may allow them to be passed on to other people as well. This may increase the risk of infection for those who are near a person who takes antibiotics and may explain why infection is higher in families where they have been used before. However, to become infected, other predisposing factors must be in place, such as poor diet, vaccination which suppresses the immune system, low vitamin D levels due to lack of regular sun exposure, and inadequate personal hygiene, among other reasons.

Indiscriminate use of antibiotics seems to be doing more damage than we can even begin to understand. Antibiotics are among the most powerful immune-suppressants that exist. Most people who are ill and die don’t actually die from their diseases. They die from a massive build up to toxins and a depleted immune system, both of which serve as an open invitation for opportunistic bacterial infections. This applies to cancer, AIDS, and most other so-called “killer diseases”. Autopsies revealed that many of the patients who died from an “AIDS” disease had never actually been infected with HIV but were killed by antibiotic-resistant superbugs.These bugs cause similar symptoms to the ones considered AIDS diseases. It is difficult to determine how many millions of AIDS victims are actually victims of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, or rather what allows them to infect the body. Our ignorance and the resistance to live in harmony with the laws of nature and take care of our basic needs combined with the incessant demand for a magic bullet to quickly put a stop to an illness, are the real enemy here.

Lessons To Be Learned

Many people have contacted me with the question whether there is a cure for infection with Clostridium difficile (CD).CD is a spore-forming bacillus that is responsible for the development of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and colitis. While CD was first described in 1935 as a part of the fecal flora of healthy newborns, the regular exposure of babies to antibiotics through vaccines and medications for minor infections has converted this beneficial bacillus into a potentially fatal superbug that can lead to the destruction of the entire digestive system, and wasting.

Unfortunately, I have seen many people deteriorate this dramatically because of the temptation to rid the body of an infection with antibiotics. CD is largely due to past use of antibiotics, chronic vitamin D deficiency (vitamin D regulates the genes responsible for natural antibiotic secretions), lack of sleep, emotional stress, all of which can lead to an unbalanced intestinal flora, which, in turn, diminishes the level of immune health.

Even though, CD comes with a certain risk, targeting the already resistant bacteria with more antibiotics (which is common practice) practically removes any chances of recovery.

It is not possible to outsmart or root out bacteria that are engaged in infecting cells that have already been damaged by antibiotics, eating nutrient-deprived foods, or chronic vitamin D deficiency. In US hospitals, where over 20 percent of patients become infected with CD, patients are given the lowest quality food you can find, sunlight is avoided at all cost, and antibiotics are administered around the clock. These are the perfect conditions for breeding and spreading superbugs.

As long as the underlying condition (damaged, weak, toxic cells) exists, specific bacteria will be drawn to those areas and infect these cells. Bacterial infection is always host-specific. That’s why not every person who is exposed to staph aureus, for example, will become infected with it. In fact, if exposed to it, only a fraction of people will become infected, namely those who are already unhealthy, like patients in a hospital or those with a compromised immune system. And as I have already mentioned, a major cause is vaccination during childhood and also adulthood: all vaccines suppress and damage the immune system. Bacterial infection cannot occur in healthy cells, even if it involves superbugs. The cell environment and cell condition determines whether an infection will or will not occur.

The outdated medical approach to dealing with infection is based on the germ theory of Louis Pasteur, which has been proven wrong by Pasteur himself at his death bed, and more recently, by documented research. It is heavily flawed and bound to fail.

The existence of antibiotic resistant organisms doesn’t show that these germs are vicious monsters. Nothing in nature is unnecessary or useless. It merely shows that they evolved into mutant bacteria to do the job they are designed to do, namely, to infect and decompose what is no longer needed and useful. If destructive germs were rooted out, life on the planet would stop. We would all suffocate in waste matter and toxins that could no longer be decomposed. The earth would be littered with corpses of humans and animals that could never decay.

Is There Any Hope For Us?

There are natural antibiotics that have also cleansing properties and at the same time stimulate the immune system, e.g. Pau D’ Arco, olive leaf extract, and for more dramatic results, MMS (formerly known as Miracle Mineral Supplement). MMS works regardless whether a germ has mutated or not. Many essential oils also exhibit these characteristics.

Remember, making vitamin D from sun exposure or a vitamin D lamp is essential for recovery. The germicidal wave length of UV light is capable of even destroying antibiotic resistant TB bacteria. Before the era of antibiotics, intense UV light (high altitudes) was used to treat TB, with a near 100% success rate. Today, some hospitals use UV to kill of antibiotic resistant organisms in air-conditioning units. There are clinics that use UV light to radiate blood with UV light which instantly breaks down the infectious germs. Of course, after the treatment, the original causes behind the infection must be dealt with adequately. If antibiotics were used at any time in the past, the liver bile ducts must also be cleaned out through a series of liver and gallbladder flushes. Otherwise, reinjection may occur.

Lastly, the fear and constant concern and emotional stress that often follows a medical diagnosis of infection with a regular bug or a superbug, can prevent recovery altogether. The diagnosis can induce a fight or flight response which quickly suppresses the immune system through the secretion of the stress hormone Cortisol. Fear can also impair digestive functions and lead to a proliferation of the germs.

The Law On Forced Vaccination

By Andreas Moritz

One state in particular – Massachusetts – has been in focus for its Pandemic Response Act that now allows the governor to declare a state of emergency and treat common citizens as terror suspects if they do not submit to forced vaccinations.

Despite the vociferous opposition from civil liberties groups, parents’ forums, lawyers, consumer groups and other protesting, concerned and enlightened citizens, the House of Representatives in August 2009 gave the bill a resounding thumbs-up.

Never before had any American state allowed the police to intervene in healthcare and vaccination. This legislation outrageously allows the police to forcefully enter people’s homes without a warrant, forcefully quarantine residents, remove children from their homes and vaccinate them against their own will and that of their parents, and gives the state’s governor the power to impose martial law. Of course, common citizens resisting any such attempts “in the interests of public health” can be jailed without charges or a trial.

As far as the law is concerned, when a state of pandemic is declared, citizens seem to have little choice but to submit to the State or face criminal charges. And the State, as it were, follows the diktats of the WHO, which has 194 signatories. This means that potentially, the populations of 194 countries could be subjected to measures such as those adopted in Massachusetts if their respective governments so choose!

These inexplicable measures – dubbed by many as ‘Gestapo tactics’ – have sparked a debate on what recourse citizens have when confronted by such tyranny. Many adults, parents and others have formed forums that take the anti-vaccination cause to their state’s representatives in the hope that persuasive means will convince their political representatives not to use coercive tactics against the population.

However, it’s an uphill task when you view mass vaccinations in a historical perspective. The law in favor of mass and forced vaccination dates back to the 19th century, when smallpox was rampant. This evoked a public backlash even then, with some states deciding to overturn these stringent laws.

The turn of the 19th century saw a landmark case that became the touchstone for all public health laws in the US – the Jacobson vs. Massachusetts case. In 1905, the US Supreme Court overturned a plea that forced vaccinations violated the right of every citizen to care for their own health. The court overturned the plaintiff’s right in the interest of public health. The court had thus set the tone for state vaccination laws, and the Federal authorities have since vested with each state the power to make and enforce its own individual vaccination legislation.

However, the Supreme Court has always preferred to support the states in various lawsuits against forced vaccination, making the citizens’ cause that much more difficult. Moreover, each state usually follows the guidelines of the federal authorities, which in turn follow the agenda of the CDC, which in turn is known to be partial to pharmaceutical companies. That’s quite literally a vicious cycle.

The 1960s ushered in even more stringent legal controls, thanks to widespread measles outbreaks. After this, there was no looking back. Vaccine-makers were producing newer and newer vaccines and, ostensibly, vaccines against more and more diseases.

And there it was. Vaccine-makers had found a captive market for their toxic formulations – children. By whipping up fear in the minds of nervous and ill-informed parents, they along with policy-makers began to push their products through the school agenda, starting with playschool! It is no surprise that the number of vaccines mandated for babies and children has increased over the years.

Each state has its own vaccination laws with regard to what vaccines must be given and at what age and stage during a school-going child’s life. And there’s no escaping this public menace unless you choose to opt out of the system.

The fact is that parents who refuse to vaccinate their children are forced to withdraw their wards from schools. On the other hand, parents who do not send their children to school violate state truancy laws!

But there are certain rights every citizen possesses even in the face of forced vaccination. Indeed there are certain rules and regulations that public health authorities are bound to follow, again within the framework of the law.

Right To Informed Consent: No citizen can be forced to submit to vaccination. He or she must be informed of the possible risks, complications and side effects associated with the vaccine and other advisory material that the health authorities such as the CDC or FDA have made public. This information must be made available to the individual before any vaccine is administered.

The Right to Informed Consent is rooted in the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which requires all doctors and other vaccine providers to provide parents written information about vaccines before their children are vaccinated.

It is this right that citizens and parents, in the case of mass school vaccination drives, are subtly deprived of. The scare-mongering, mass hysteria and psychologically coercive tactics adopted by the powers that be virtually frighten people into ‘consenting’ to being vaccinated. Under these circumstances, people are not likely to research a vaccine; they are more likely to take ‘protective action’.

Exemptions: All 50 American states mandate a vaccination schedule for children seeking admission to various levels of school and college. Though the number and type of vaccines vary from one state to another, all state-licensed educational institutions have stringent vaccination rules.

But did you know that parents can refuse to submit to coercive diktats on medical grounds? For instance, if your child has a history of adverse reactions to earlier vaccination attempts, you may seek an exemption from further vaccination on medical grounds.

Different states have different requirements for applicants. While some states accept a simple written letter from a family physician detailing reasons for medical exemption, others reserve their right to review the recommendation and even override it.

The second ground on which an exemption can be obtained is religious as some faiths do not permit vaccination or any type of invasive medical treatment. While some states only broadly define the term ‘religious beliefs’, others require the applicant to be a member of a specific religious group of denomination. Again, while some require a letter of recommendation from the applicant’s spiritual representative, others are more stringent and insist on an affidavit.

Exemption from vaccination based on religious grounds is rooted in the First Amendment of the US Constitution, which gives every citizen the right to freely exercise their religion. To take away this right and impose vaccination, the state must prove a “compelling state interest”, which could be the spread of communicable diseases.

Interestingly, religious groups like the Amish who exercise this constitutional right don’t permit vaccination in their communities and don’t have communicable diseases and autistic children. This makes a lot of sense to me. I have never myself received a vaccine, thanks to my mother’s great motherly, protective instincts. I have not seen a doctor in 38 years, given my healthy, strong immune system, and I have never had the flu in decades.

The third type of exemption is philosophical exemption, which constitutes an individual’s personal beliefs that prevent him/her from being vaccinated.

This is the most subjective of the three types of exemptions but allow me to illustrate what happens when parents get together to mount a determined and organized effort to fight for their rights. It may have taken seven long years in Texas and two years in Arkansas but citizens in both these states finally won the legal right to exercise conscientious, philosophical or religious belief exemptions to vaccination.

Miffed by this hard-fought victory, state legislators are under increasing pressure from federal health authorities to revoke the exemption. As of 2010, 48 of 50 US states permit religious exemption while 18 allow a personal, philosophical or conscientious belief exemption from vaccination.

Of course, it is easier said than done as parents must comply with numerous formalities to seek an exemption, let alone be actually granted one. Not surprisingly, more and more citizens are resorting to this category to work their way around forced vaccinations. Not surprisingly, it has becoming increasingly difficult to secure exemptions on even medical and religious grounds.

Any which way you look at it, educating yourself on vaccination is the first step to preventing the state from invading your body. As mentioned earlier, all states have vaccination laws but they vary between states. Educate yourself on the laws pertaining to your state so that you can make an informed choice for you and your family. As more and more people are waking up to the harmful effects of conventional medicine, there are numerous forums and pressure groups which are rallying for the assertion of citizens’ rights. Joining one of these forums might be a good idea.

Here is an example of what spending a few minutes on the Internet can reveal. For instance, a simple search will reveal that while the American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC recommend that the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine be given to all children, the law in your state may require children to be vaccinated against measles and rubella only.

Vaccination is becoming more and more pervasive in various aspects of life and may influence crucial choices and decisions in matters of adoption, child custody arrangements during divorce proceedings, eligibility for health insurance and government programs, medical care and immigration.

In a disturbing trend, which further illustrates the stranglehold of Big Pharma over the government and the medical fraternity, pediatricians have begun to refuse to offer medical treatment to children who have not fulfilled all vaccination requirements under the law.

There have been cases where hospitals have even reported parents to child social services agencies for their failure or refusal to get their child vaccinated. As outrageous as this may be, it’s the bitter truth. Hence, it is more compelling than ever that you educate yourself on the law.

Soldiers: Army personnel, especially new recruits, are a favorite testing ground for vaccine-makers in mass immunization programs. Military troops have to submit to all manner of vaccinations in the name of readiness for warfare. Both men and women have little choice but to endure endless injections designed to ‘protect’ them against bio-toxins like smallpox, anthrax, ricin and other diseases.

Several soldiers have died from the often untested chemicals in these experimental vaccines, and others have been rendered severely sick by them. Not unlike women involved in involuntary ultrasound studies, soldiers have become guinea pigs in massive drug studies. How else could the pharmaceutical industry legally test poisons on human subjects?

Unfortunately, when you’re in the armed forces, you have few civilian rights. Soldiers therefore do not have the right to refuse vaccination. Those who do refuse their shots face court martial and prison time, or at the very least, a dishonorable discharge.

Common side effects of the over one million vaccinations so far administered to US soldiers have included joint pain, extreme fatigue, and memory loss. The anthrax vaccine administered to Gulf War veterans in the 1992 war in the Middle East is one such instance.

However, medical and religious exemptions are allowed but an exemption must be sought before enlisting. Once the recruit enlists with the armed forces, he/she pretty much signs over his/her body to the US Department of Defense which has been accused time and again of human experimentation.

Exercise Yourself to Health

By Andreas Moritz

The Purpose of Exercising:

Under normal circumstances, exercising one’s body would not be necessary. Man, like every other animal, was meant to live in nature, have plenty of fresh air, and be involved in enough physical activity to keep the body fit and vital. Technological and economic advancements, however, have led to an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, which requires physical exercise to keep our bodies healthy and strong.

The purpose of physical exercise is not just to prove to ourselves that we are able to defy the aging process, look good, or prevent a heart attack. Exercise also enhances our capacity to digest food and eliminate physical and emotional impurities. Furthermore, it increases firmness and suppleness, as well as our ability to deal with stressful situations. The lymphatic system, especially, which drains toxic and noxious substances from the connective tissues of the organs and muscles, depends on the daily movement of all the parts of the body. Unlike the blood, which has a heart to circulate it around the body, the lymph fluid has no such direct pumping device to do the same. The lymphatic system heavily relies on the breathing mechanism and how well we use it. When the muscle responsible for the breathing action of the lungs (diaphragm) extends into the abdomen, it exerts great pressure on the intestinal lymph vessels, thereby squeezing their contents. This forces the lymph to move through the lymph ducts, such as the thoracic duct. Thus, each inhalation and exhalation acts as an indirect pump for the lymphatic system. Shallow breathing that results from a sedentary lifestyle (and intestinal congestion) has a detrimental effect on proper lymph drainage. Exercise can greatly improve lymphatic functions and thereby prevent a multitude of diseases.

Physical exercise is a great immune-stimulant if done in moderation, and it also improves neuromuscular integration in all age groups. Its effect of boosting self-confidence and self-esteem stems, to some extent, from the improved oxygen supply to the cells and the resulting well-being in all parts of the body and mind. Exercise is an excellent means of increasing happiness in life, especially if it involves challenges that require creativity.

The conventional approach to exercise promotes the belief that a good workout takes you to the limits of your endurance, leaving you exhausted and tired. This is not true. Exercise that exhausts your body is an indirect act of violence that the body perceives as a kind of punishment for not performing well enough. The pain that shows in people’s faces when they struggle through a tough workout program is an indication that the body is suffering from overexertion. This sort of exercise defeats its purpose. Any form of strong physical exertion upsets Vataand causes the secretion of abnormal amounts of stress hormones such as adrenaline; this leaves the body restless and shaky. The body, thus depleted of energy, is unable to do the repair work that arises from the demanding workout, leaving the cardiovascular system weak and vulnerable to other stress factors.

Post-exercise exhaustion is a serious cause of illness that affects many unsuspecting people who think they are doing themselves a favor by pushing their bodies to the limit. In the excitement of competitive sports, you may not be aware at first how strenuously you are exerting yourself, but once the adrenaline rush is over, the side effects start kicking in. Besides exhaustion and possible injury, professional athletes are more likely to suffer from a deficient immune system, which makes the body prone to infections and other ailments. For this reason, athletes consume a much larger quantity of prescribed drugs than the average person does. The thymus gland, which activates lymphocytes and controls energy supplies, may actually shrink in size and leave the body weak and debilitated as a direct result of over conditioning the body and stressing the mind.

Exercise According to the Doshas:

Exercise is best done according to one’s capacity and psycho-physiological body type.

Vata type, who has the lowest capacity for exercise, benefits mostly from such easy ways of keeping fit as walking, dancing, bicycling, taking short hikes, balancing and stretching. Vatas generally do well with Yoga, Tai Chi, and Chi Kung. Since Vata types experience energy in bursts, they should be particularly careful not to overexert themselves. When their energy suddenly drops, they can feel depleted for a long time afterward. This often results in depression.

Pitta types, being competitive by nature, are equipped with more drive and energy than Vatas. They generally are not satisfied with the more ordinary forms of working out. To achieve physical satisfaction, they need a more goal-oriented exercise program. However, they also do not have boundless energy and are better off exercising in moderation.Pittas feel challenged by hiking in the mountains, skiing, jogging, swimming, playing tennis or engaging in other sports that generate in them a sense of achievement.

In sports, you can easily recognize the unbalanced Pitta types. They are often bad losers and may get angry if they feel they are ‘not good enough’. Pittas who get angry while performing should look for a less competitive exercise program to increase their level of satisfaction. Since excessive heat is a sign of unbalanced Pitta, swimming, which has a cooling influence, is one of the best forms of exercise for them. A walk in the cool forest is another excellent way to pacify an unbalanced Pitta type.

Kapha types are the ideal candidates for a good or moderately heavy workout. Weight training, running, rowing, some aerobics, long distance bicycling, dancing for a long time, playing football, basketball and tennis are all very suitable for a Kapha. The Kapha type’s steady energy gives him the necessary endurance and stamina to last through long competitive games without feeling tired. Exercise will clear out any excessive Kapha congestion, remove excessive water and fat, and improve general circulation. This will leave him feeling refreshed and buoyant afterward.

Basic Guidelines for Healthy Exercise:

It is best not to exercise at more than 50 percent of your capacity, whatever that means to you. The purpose of exercising is not to prove to others how capable you are, but to derive personal benefit and satisfaction from it. If you are able to run for 30 minutes before you are tired, then make the choice to run for only 15 minutes. Getting tired during exercise defeats its very purpose. Feeling refreshed, revitalized and energetic afterward indicates that the workout has been successful. In due time, your capacity for exercise will naturally increase on its own.

Stop exercising when you feel the need to breathe through the mouth. Once you are forced to breathe through the mouth, rather than through the nose, you have gone beyond the 50 percent threshold of your capacity for exercise at that time. This is a sign that your body has moved into the adrenaline-breathing mode, which uses up your basic energy reserves and depletes cellular oxygen. You have reached your limit when you feel your heart pounding violently, you begin to sweat profusely, or your body shakes. In that case it is good to finish off with a short period of walking and breathing normally. The basic rule is always to breathe through the nose and not through the mouth. Exercise to the point of perspiration once a day.

You need good, strong muscles to meet the typical demands of the day, such as climbing stairs, carrying groceries, picking up young children, cleaning your home, riding horseback, swimming in a lake, going for a hike or bike ride, or performing other natural activities, without being at risk for injury. The best way to increase muscle tone and strength is to quickly raise heart and muscle activity to the point of panting, followed by a period of low activity (called ‘active recovery’). One to two-minute intervals (of activity and rest) are ideal. Doing this for 10-20 minutes per day has more benefits than engaging in hours of strenuous exercise. Besides, it increases muscle tone, lung capacity and heart health. During the panting phases, the body uses up its complex sugar reserves in the muscles. For those who desire weight loss, this method causes you to lose weight after exercising, as the body tries to replenish its lost sugar reserves by breaking down fat deposits while you are resting. Weight loss achieved during strenuous endurance exercise programs, on the other hand, tends to be reversed because the body tries to quickly replenish the lost fat deposits in order to prepare itself for the next energy-depleting round of exercise. The body perceives the strenuous exercise as a threat. Vata and Pitta types are those who are affected most negatively by strenuous exercise. Pure Kapha types are the only people who can benefit from it.

It is best to exercise during daylight hours. The best capacity for exercise is available during the Kapha period in the morning (6:00-10:00 a.m.) and at the end of the Vata period in the afternoon (5:00-6:00 p.m.). The benefits of exercise increase dramatically when it is done in sunlight.

Ayurveda discourages exercising after sundown. Allow the body to slow down in the evening and prepare itself for a restful and rejuvenating sleep. Never exercise just before or after a meal, as this impairs AGNI, the digestive fire, and causes indigestion. However, walking for 15 minutes after meals works as a good digestive aid. Always drink water before and after exercising to prevent the blood from thickening and the cells from becoming dehydrated.

A note of caution about aerobic exercise:

The medical journal, Lancet, reported that aerobic exercise can cause deadly arterial clogging and heart disease in those who had never before had heart trouble. According to The American Journal of Cardiology, jogging has similarly caused some runners to drop dead from heart attacks. Their autopsies show severe coronary artery disease. Any regular, strenuous form of exercise actually does about as much damage to your heart as continuous stress does. The heart literally comes under constant attack via the excessive exercise sessions. Marathon runners are known to lose muscle mass, both in the heart and the rest of the body. Many have dropped dead just after reaching the finishing line. Short distance sprinters, on the other hand, develop healthy muscles and strong hearts.

Vigorous weight training can be equally damaging. It leads to abnormally enlarged, bloated muscle fibers that actually become dysfunctional and prone to injuries. Oversized muscles constantly use up a lot of precious energy (complex sugar reserves), energy that your body requires for its more important activities. Weight training also adds excessive muscle tissue to parts of the body where it was never designed to be, thus hindering natural patterns of movement. Lifting heavy weights can also raise your blood pressure and increase the risk of strokes and aneurysms. By nature, the human body was not made to deal with the additional gravitational force imposed upon it while lifting heavy weights. Frequently stressing the joints, muscles and tendons causes them to age prematurely. Excessive weight training can cause permanent damage to the body.

Drinking Water – The Greatest Therapy of All

By Andreas Moritz

Dehydration

Dehydration is perhaps the most common, yet largely unrecognized problem prevalent in modern societies today. Alcohol, coffee, tea and soft drinks have become the primary choice for satisfying thirst, especially among the younger generations. The principal effect of these beverages, however, is to remove water – the most important and precious resource in the body – from the blood, cells and organs. Drinking enough fresh water is an essential prerequisite for avoiding disease and slowing the aging process. Anyone who is healthy and wants to stay that way needs to drink about 6-8 eight-ounce glasses of fresh water each day. This will ensure that the 60-100 trillion cells in the body receive their daily-needed ration of water in order to maintain efficient digestion, metabolism and waste removal. Children may need to drink 4-6 glasses of water per day, depending on how physically active they are.

Simple guidelines for keeping your body sufficiently hydrated

Start the day by drinking one glass of warm water to end the ‘drought’ of the night and remove accumulated wastes from the excretory organs. As previously mentioned, this can be followed by a glass of warm water with lemon and honey.

About half an hour before each meal, drink one glass of water. Doing this will keep your blood thin and thereby enable it to take up nutrients and distribute them to the cells. The water also helps increase the secretion of digestive juices and prevents bile from becoming too viscous. Drinking a lot of water or other beverages with your meal, however, dilutes the digestive juices. This should be avoided because it undermines the digestive process.

Following a meal, the blood uses up a considerable amount of water to distribute nutrients to the cells and can, therefore, become water deficient quite quickly. Drinking another glass of water approximately 2 ½ hours after each meal restores the blood’s water requirements.

These simple guidelines can help prevent the most serious major diseases that are prevalent in modern societies today. Drinking sufficient amounts of water at the right times can and should be part of every other therapy used in the treatment of disease.

A note of caution: Any attempt to restore the proper state of hydration of the body should be made gradually. otherwise this may cause serious harm. A dehydrated person, that is, someone who has not taken the minimum required amount of water for several weeks, months or years, and/or has depleted the cells of excessive amounts of water by consuming caffeine or sugar-containing foods or beverages for a considerable length of time, is susceptible to becoming ill. During dehydration, the body’s cells are no longer able to function efficiently. To protect themselves against further loss of water, they make their membranes less penetrable to water diffusion by pulling in extra amounts of fats, including cholesterol. This survival mechanism, however, also prevents metabolic waste from leaving the cells, causing them to suffocate in their own waste. Some of the cells, in order to survive in this toxic environment, may eventually need to undergo genetic mutation and become cancerous.

During the state of dehydration, the kidneys hold on to water and so does the rest of the body. At this point many people start craving and overeating salt or salty foods because the body needs more salt to hold on to the little water it has left. This, however, causes the kidneys to contract and filter even less water than before. Urine becomes more and more concentrated and scarce. In this condition of extreme dehydration, it would be unwise to suddenly start drinking even the recommended 6-8 glasses per day of water. Since the cells have created a barrier in order to save water, they are in no position to absorb a quantity of water to which they have become unaccustomed, all at once. The water would simply stagnate outside the cells and lead to water retention and weight gain. Given these circumstances, the kidneys are not able to filter much of it, and urine will remain scarce. Any sudden intake of large amounts of water can indeed cause severe lymph congestion, swelling, and in some cases, even death. The effect would be water intoxication, a potentially fatal disturbance in brain function that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits by a very rapid intake of water. The transition from a state of severe dehydration to improved hydration should be very gradual and is best monitored by a health practitioner who knows the basics of water metabolism.

Guidelines for Gradual Rehydration

Add only about one glass of water per day to the amount of water you usually drink and check whether urination increases. If it does, drink another 1-2 glasses per day. If not, reduce the additional amount to a third or half glass of water per day. It is of principal importance that your kidneys begin to filter more water when you drink more water. You don’t want to create a ‘dam’ in your kidneys, which could end up flooding even your lungs. In time, the kidneys will recognize that water is no longer a scarcity in the body and will make the necessary adjustments to increase urination. At the same time, the body will naturally decrease its salt production and salt retention. When this occurs, the urge to eat a lot of salt or salty foods will also lessen. This response is caused by the water’s own natural diuretic effects.

If you are on diuretic drugs, it is important for you to know that water is a much more efficient diuretic than any drug can possibly be, and it has no harmful side effects. Diuretic drugs should be decreased gradually and under the supervision of a health practitioner.

Once the kidneys have no more difficulties with eliminating urine, you can increase your water intake to the natural minimum daily requirement of 6-8 glasses per day. This will drastically reduce the health risks imposed by an illness. To undo years of dehydration and to be completely hydrated again, however, may take up to a year, and sometimes even longer.

A note of caution: When the body is dehydrated, it tries to retain its salt in order to hold on to water. Once urination increases following improved hydration, these salts are gradually passed out with the urine. If the hydration attempts are implemented too quickly, those areas with the most salt retention may develop lymph edema. Any emerging puffiness of or around the eyes or swelling of the ankles indicates that the hydration process should be done more gradually. As the swellings decrease, you may resume drinking normal quantities of water. With increased water intake, your body will also be able to remove any excessive salt. However, you do not want to become salt-deficient. You should, therefore, be certain to include some unrefined salt as an important part of your diet. If don’t use your muscles enough and they start to cramp, particularly during the night, your body is most likely not getting enough salt (or it is getting the wrong type of salt, which is commercially produced table salt).

Both water and salt are absolutely essential for keeping the water metabolism balanced and for generating enough hydroelectric energy to maintain cellular activities. Drinking water is the most important therapy of all therapies because absolutely nothing in the body does not depend on it. Drinking water and cutting out any energy-depleting (overstimulating) influences should be the very first treatment in the case of an illness, before attempting to do anything else. In most cases, the problem will disappear naturally when the body is properly hydrated and allowed to rest.

Chocolate – Facts And Fiction

By Andreas Moritz

The recent desperate attempt of the food industry to boost sluggish sales of their products, after the dampening effects of the low carb craze, has caused it to heavily invest in serious ‘scientific’ research to prove that their unhealthy products are not just safe, but even good for you. Although hard to believe, chocolate is now being pushed as a health food. Add chocolate to your healthy diet, and your heart health will improve. At least, this is what they are now trying to make you believe.

Apparently, there is a new study that suggests eating chocolate can improve your blood vessel functions. This clearly shows how much the food industry, similar to the pharmaceutical industry, wants you to buy more of their products, with utter disregard to your health.

According to the editors of the Journal of the American College of Nutrition (JACN), flavonoid-rich dark chocolate may improve artery flexibility while increasing an antioxidant that may help prevent blood clots. Whereas this is likely, and may be true, the problem with the study is that it didn’t include a control (placebo) group. So there was no one to compare to. Besides, the common chocolate you buy in stores doesn’t improve artery flexibility – it’s the flavonoids in dark chocolate and raw cocoa beans that have this effect. These same flavonoids are also found in apples, grapes, broccoli, onions, berries, and dozens of other foods, some of which the subjects of the study most likely consumed besides the chocolate. Of course, the study was sponsored by a chocolate producer, Mars Candy Company, which was so generous to also supply the chocolates for the ‘study’. If the study has any real value, why didn’t the researchers announce that flavonoids, as found in most plant foods, such as broccoli and fruits, grape juice and, yes, also chocolate, are beneficial for your arteries? But no, they were obliged by their sponsors to announce that ‘chocolate is beneficial for your arteries’. All this is in total disregard to all the other things that are contained in chocolate, that is, lots of sugar, milk, preservatives, coloring agents, artificial flavorings, etc.

The American Dietetic Association (ADA) which is supported by a grant from Mars Inc. has a section on their website titled ‘Chocolate: Facts and Fiction’. Although dietary sugar intake is a big factor for the millions of people who have Type 2 diabetes or peripatetic conditions, the ADA advices, “If you have diabetes, ask your health professional how to incorporate chocolate into your eating plan.” This sounds like ‘sound’ medical advice. I would stay away from any of the ADA’s dietary advice. You never know what kind of sickness you may develop because of it.

The truth of the matter is that real chocolate consists of largely fermented, roasted chocolate beans that are packed with nutrients. The word ‘chocolate’ comes from the Aztecs of Mexico who called it ‘bitter water’. They associated chocolate with the goddess of fertility. It was always used as a beverage, never as a solid food. Its numerous benefits were known to them.

Today’s largely ‘fake’ chocolate consists mostly of cocoa butter, milk or milk powder, sugar, and other ingredients such as emulsifiers that improve smoothness and flavor. The finest plain dark chocolate contains at least 70% cocoa (solids and butter), whereas the most expensive milk chocolate usually contains about 50% cocoa. High-quality white chocolate contains around 30% cocoa. Most mass-produced chocolate contains as little as 7 % cocoa and fats other than cocoa butter. These ‘chocolate’ products have little to do with chocolate because of the low or virtually non-existent cocoa content.

The chocolate that most people consume is relatively inexpensive. Production costs can be decreased by reducing cocoa solid content or by substituting cocoa butter with a non-cocoa fat. The announcement by Mars and other candy producers that ‘chocolate is good for your heart’ applies only to a tiny fraction of the chocolates sold, and therefore is misleading. The health claims made are part of a clever marketing campaign to sell more chocolate of any kind, knowing well that most people buy the cheapest chocolate available. The proclaimed health benefits of chocolate can, however, only be applied to fermented, roasted cocoa beans and the more expensive dark chocolate with mostly natural and healthy ingredients.

Dark chocolate, which has a strong bitter taste, has shown the same blood-thinning benefits as aspirin, but without the harmful side effects and increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Regular chocolate has never shown any health benefits, but lots of harmful side effects, including weight gain and obesity.

Coconut Oil – A Gift From The Tropics

By Andreas Moritz

Virgin coconut oil is rich in lauric acid, a proven antiviral and antibacterial agent. It is currently being used in treating AIDS. Monolaurin is a monoglyceride of lauric acid. Lauric acid is also found in human mother’s milk, which makes coconut milk an excellent alternative to milk-formula foods. In fact, coconut milk has been used in the tropics to bring up very healthy children when breast milk was unavailable.

This delicious-tasting oil is not only satisfying to your taste buds, but it also cleanses your colon by gently softening and loosening old fecal material, and helping to remove it without unpleasant side effects. It has a strongly alkalizing effect in the body, which is beneficial for every disease process. The tropical oil has a substance that has been shown to raise HDL cholesterol levels, the good kind, thereby lowering the risk of heart attack.

For those who are concerned about infestation with intestinal parasites and Candida albicans, coconut’s anti-parasitic properties help purge pathogenic organisms by robbing them of their protective coating. A natural anti-yeast treatment, coconut oil has been known for many centuries to prevent yeast infections in women in the Pacific islands. During scientific tests, both capric and lauric acid (found in this oil in very large amounts) were found to be absolutely lethal to all major strains of Candida albicans.

Research comparing Pacific Islanders with people from several developed nations showed that their health was extremely good compared to Western standards. These Islanders had no signs of kidney disease or hypothyroidism that might influence fat levels. There was no hypercholesterolemia (high blood cholesterol). All inhabitants were lean and healthy despite a very high saturated-fat diet from coconut oil. In fact, the population as a whole had ideal weight-to-height ratios as compared to the Body Mass Index figures used by nutritionists. Digestive problems were rare. Constipation was uncommon. They averaged two or more bowel movements a day. Atherosclerosis, heart disease, colitis, colon cancer, hemorrhoids, ulcers, diverticulitis, and appendicitis are conditions with which they were generally unfamiliar.

Coconut oil also assists with dissolving and removing toxins that are trapped in fatty deposits, thereby making fat accumulation increasingly unnecessary (accumulation of fat is a survival mechanism to keep toxins engulfed within fatty tissue). This may explain why this oil helps to build lean muscles. Many body builders, personal trainers, Olympic athletes, and others use it for building lean body mass.

Coconut oil is easily digested, even by weak and compromised digestive systems. It is the only oil that doesn’t require bile to digest it, which makes it useful for those whose gallbladder has been removed. Coconut oil assists with most digestive disorders, such as Crohn’s disease and irritable bowel syndrome. This oil does not require any enzymes or carriers to be transported across cell membranes. Once it has reached the cell interior, it is used for energy. This makes coconut a readily available energy source.

Coconut oil has also been shown to balance hypothyroidism. It is a saturated fat made up primarily of medium chain fatty acids. Also known as medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), medium chain fatty acids are known to increase metabolism, promote weight loss, and immobilize yeast bacteria. If required, coconut oil raises basal body temperatures while increasing metabolism, which is great news for those suffering low thyroid functions, and those afflicted with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Coconut oil is useful for the very young and the very old. It is one of the healthiest and safest oils. Unlike most oils, this one will not oxidize upon heating. This makes coconut oil the ideal cooking oil. With the exception of Kapha types, the average adult can safely include about 3.5 tablespoons of coconut oil per day in their diet. It will not make you fat. But, start out with a low dose until you find out how the breakdown of yeast affects you. Apart from its internal benefits, when applied to the skin, coconut oil will protect from sunburn, drying, chapping and harmful germs.

The Consequences Of Vaccinating Our Children

By Andreas Moritz

Pumping poisons into helpless infants’ bodies

30-odd jabs in the first 18 months of life! That’s how many times the average American infant gets vaccinated. Children in the United Kingdom are slightly better off. They get vaccinated only 25 times at this tender age. And to make sure you’re well and truly on the vaccination trail early enough, it is mandatory for babies to get nine or more different antigens pumped into their immature immune systems almost immediately after birth, some of them cocktails of more than one vaccine.

The best part for Big Pharma is that most of these vaccinations are backed by law. Children who are not vaccinated as per the CDC’s schedule cannot enter or stay within the formal education system. As if this arm-twisting were not enough, entire populations the world over are brainwashed into believing that they or their children will contract life-threatening diseases if they do not get vaccinated. And don’t we all want the best for our children?

For many decades, leading scientists and doctors have vehemently promoted the idea that immunization of children is necessary to protect them from contracting diseases such as diphtheria, smallpox, polio, cholera, typhoid and malaria. Yet evidence is mounting, showing that immunization may not only be unnecessary but even harmful. Pouring deadly chemicals into a lake doesn’t make it immune to pollutants. Likewise, injecting the live poisons contained in vaccines into the bloodstream of children hardly gives future generations a chance to lead truly healthy lives.

‘Willing’ Victims

Children are most vulnerable because their immune systems are practically defenseless against the poisons in the vaccines. They have a lot going against them since their mothers do not pass on immunity through breast milk because they were vaccinated and no longer make certain antibodies.

The fact is that the human immune system has been designed to protect us from even deadly illnesses but the key here is natural immunity. Vaccines, on the other hand, use synthetic chemicals to build artificial immunity. They work on the assumption that natural immunity is not good enough.

But could nature have made such a crucial mistake as to make us dependant on injecting foreign, toxic material into our blood when we have an immune system so complex and highly developed that millions of sophisticated computers could not imitate its performance? This is rather unlikely.

It is hard to believe then that these chemicals, which contain animal DNA, bits of weakened viruses, embalming fluid, mercury and other dangerous things are our modern-day life-savers. It is equally surprising that vaccines, which cause serious reactions and have debilitating effects on our health, are meant to stave off invading pathogens, many of which our bodies are designed to deal with naturally or are actually helping us to recover from a serious illness such as cancer.

One of the main reasons vaccines are so dangerous is that they have never been tested for safety on human beings; they are only tested on animals. Vaccines cannot be proven safe until they are given to human beings for the first time. But this would turn them into human ‘guinea pigs’ and it is not possible to predict what reactions they will have. This is the risk all people receiving vaccines have to take. Some will die, others will live but become ill years later, and many others will live without serious long-term consequences. But since all vaccines are designed to cause the very disease they are meant to prevent (to establish immunity), a truly safe vaccine is one that is not effective! Ironic, isn’t it?

Under normal circumstances, all ingested foods, beverages, etc have to pass through the mucus membranes, the intestinal walls and the liver before they are permitted into such important areas as the blood, the heart and the brain. The sudden appearance of a poison in the bloodstream is often met by a counterattack of the immune system that uses an entire arsenal of antibodies to heal the body from vaccine injuries and prevent death by poisoning. This is called an allergic reaction and in some cases, it could lead to a sudden, sometimes fatal, collapse known as anaphylactic shock.

Among the causes of anaphylactic shock are immunizations for DTaP, Hepatitis B and whooping cough. A young person’s immune system hasn’t typically matured enough to withstand such an onslaught, resulting in what the medical fraternity calls Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or SIDS.

Noted researcher Dr Kenneth Bock points out that vaccinating children may make them hypersensitive to allergies, eczemas and certain foods, provoking acute reactions to a host of stimuli that are difficult to pinpoint. Vaccinations may therefore actually be sensitizing children to allergic disorders because the chemicals and genetic material in them change the way the immune system is meant to function. It becomes skewed with regard to the Th-2 hormone with a relative deficit in Th-1.

Some researchers go so far as to say that contracting some illnesses, such as mumps and measles during childhood, is healthy as they actually bring down the risk of allergies because they strengthen the immune system. Research clearly shows that the incidence of asthma and others allergy-related illnesses increases sharply following vaccination.

Fallacy & Fallout

Ever since Louis Pasteur proposed his erroneous germ theory of disease, the scientific establishment has linked a variety of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens to life-threatening illnesses against which pharmaceutical companies have devised an armor of protection in their little vials.

The problem is that despite their claims of success, certain vaccines have been consistently linked to specific symptoms and syndromes, some of which continue to baffle scientists and doctors even today. Among the various diseases that have been correlated to vaccines are chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune disorders, learning disabilities, encephalitisgrowth inhibition, developmental disorders and hyperactivity.

Some of these issues, such as learning disabilities, were once dismissed as simple problems of growing up. Medical researchers now recognize them as forms of encephalitis (inflammatory disease of the brain). Here’s a shocking statistic: More than 20 percent of American children – one out of five – suffer from these or related problems.

There is a mounting body of scientific research which shows that chronic diseases such as encephalitis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, leukemia and other forms of cancer and even HIV may be provoked by vaccines administered in infancy.

For instance, rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammatory disease of the joints, was once an affliction of the elderly. Now, this crippling disease is widely prevalent among younger people and has been consistently associated with measles and rubella vaccinations.

Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a serious disease that leads to paralysis, is another syndrome which has been consistently associated with immunizations against measles, diphtheria, influenza, tetanus and the oral polio vaccine. This is hardly surprising when one considers the high toxicity of the vaccines. It is well-known that children whose immune systems are already weak experience more serious complications than those whose constitution and immune systems are much stronger.

Buying Into Myths

It is nearly impossible to estimate the damage and suffering that has been created and that will occur in future as a result of inadequate information about the dangers of modern immunization programs. Parents want to do what is best for their children and they carry a heavy burden of responsibility to keep them healthy and safe. Misinformation can create considerable conflict in parents because they don’t want to neglect their children’s health or cause them any harm.

Vaccine proponents argue that their chemical formulations have not just saved lives; they have also prevented epidemics and all but wiped out some deadly diseases from the face of the earth! This is nothing but a myth. The truth is that the four leading childhood killer diseases – scarlet fever, pertussis or whooping cough, diphtheria and measles – had already declined by more than 90 percent before vaccines against these diseases were introduced! The reason these diseases vanished was that living conditions such as hygiene, sanitation and standards of living had improved significantly and people increasingly had access to healthy food.

This observation is supported by noted scholars such as Dr Andrew Weil who have researched vaccines. He points out that many serious diseases like cholera, typhoid, tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough were on the decline in the last hundred years or so well before vaccines for them were even made.

Another reputed vaccine researcher, Viera Scheibner, points out that prior to 1940, the number of people perishing from diphtheria in Europe was negligible. But post-1940, when forced vaccinations were carried out on a mass scale against the disease, epidemics of diphtheria followed in individuals who had been fully vaccinated.

The 1940s also saw mass-scale immunization campaigns against whooping cough and tetanus across several countries. These too were followed by outbreaks of the so-called ‘provocation poliomyelitis’.

Another problem with vaccination is that they are given indiscriminately, regardless of a child’s health status. Many infants don’t even get the chance to be healthy later in life because they are pumped full of these poisons against which they are helpless. At this stage of development, a baby has not yet acquired full natural immunity and has little ability to protect himself or herself.

Cook In Surgical Stainless Steel Waterless Cookware

By Andreas Moritz

Since 1985, I have been using Surgical Stainless Steel Waterless Cookware for all my cooking. In my opinion and experience, this is by far the most uncomplicated and least time-consuming method of preparing cooked meals while preventing the loss of valuable vitamins, enzymes and flavor. This five, seven or nine-ply surgical stainless steel cookware allows you to cook your food in less than half the time and with one-fourth the heat.

There is no more pouring the nutrients down the drain when boiling vegetables. There is no more cooking in hot oil and robbing the food of its vital nutrition and fiber. The tight vapor-seal created during cooking allows the flavor and nutrients to remain in the food. Unlike with pressure cookers, waterless cookware involves no steam-pressure buildup inside the cookware. The temperature generated inside the cookware is much less of what is required for boiling water, yet the food cooks much faster than with ordinary cookware.

There is also no need to keep checking on the food. In fact, if you do, the cooking process will be interrupted and will take longer than necessary. While the food is being cooked, you can prepare other foods, such as salad. Within 20 minutes you can serve a meal consisting of three cooked items, such as vegetables, rice and beans. A light evening meal consisting of vegetables or a vegetable soup can be fixed in a matter of 10 minutes. Cooking from scratch must no longer be a burden. Since I do this every day, I can personally attest to that.

Waterless cooking cannot be accomplished with Teflon, iron, aluminum, glass, porcelain and department store lightweight stainless steel. In the United States, you can buy 15-piece sets of 9-ply stainless steel cookware for as little as $180. Waterless cookware not only costs hundreds of dollars less than the cookware you see in cooking shows, but it also comes with a Lifetime Warranty (You may search for ‘Waterless Cookware’ on the Internet). Please note there may be other metals in some parts of the cookware to make the steel extra hard and resistant to corrosion. However, the parts of the cookware that come into contact with food should only be made of pure extra heavy 304 surgical steel.

Basic Rules of Cooking with Waterless Cookware

1. Always use the right pan

Select the pan the food will most nearly fill, as air pockets created by ‘too large for the food quantity’ pans may destroy vitamins, dry your foods and possibly burn them.

2. Rinse prepared fruits and vegetables

Rinsing in cold water and then draining is important for two reasons: it removes harmful chemicals and allows water to cling to the food, combining with the natural juices to cook in its own steam. You may add spices, salt, vegetable bouillon, oil or butter, salt, coconut milk or other ingredients. This is waterless, nutritional cooking. Until you get used to this new method, you may want to add several tablespoons of water.

3. Control the heat

Always control the heat throughout the cooking process. If you set the heat to too high, it evaporates the steam and your food burns. With waterless cookware, the control is never on higher than medium heat.

4. Get a vapor seal

Start the cooking process on medium heat until the steam control valve whistles in the open position. Then turn the heat down to low or simmer and close the valve. After you do this, the lid will form an airtight heat seal.

When cooking watery type food such as apples and cabbage, it takes about three minutes to create a water seal. More solid food such as potatoes and carrots take about five minutes for the lid to seal after turning the heat to low and closing the steam control valve.

5. Don’t peek

Resist that urge to peek! When the cover is removed during the cooking period, heat and steam are allowed to escape. This lengthens the cooking time and dries out the food.

Caution: Avoid non-stick pans

The chemical perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) used in non-stick pans, fast-food containers, carpets, furniture and a host of other everyday household products accumulates in the umbilical cords of babies and is retards their growth and brain development, according to two new studies published in the prestigious journal Environmental Health Perspectives (August 2007).

Babies whose umbilical cords had the highest concentrations of PFOA were born lighter, thinner and with smaller head circumferences than others. This chemical – produced in the United States by DuPont – has been used so widely and is so persistent in the environment that it has been found all over the world. It is now found even in the Arctic and in remote Pacific atolls – in rain and water supplies, food, wildlife and human blood. DuPont ‘agreed’ to phase out this chemical in 2015!

In other words, it’s up to you to protect you and your family by choosing to use only chemical-free products.

Eat Sensible, Stay Healthy

By Andreas Moritz

It is best to avoid heavy, oily and fried food; aged cheeses; yogurt; onion and garlic, especially uncooked; highly processed and refined foods; fizzy drinks, alcohol, coffee, regular tea; artificial sweeteners; and commercial sugar.

Try to include one or two pieces of fresh fruit per day in your diet. If you use fruit juice, make sure it is freshly prepared and not older than one hour (best diluted with water). Packaged fruit juices are pasteurized, which makes them acid-forming, deprives them of natural enzymes, and depletes the body of important minerals and vitamins. Many brands contain artificial sweeteners, which dehydrate the body and may damage the brain, nervous system and immune system. It is preferable to eat one kind of fruit at a time.

Fruit or fruit juices should always be taken on an empty stomach. Since fruit leaves the stomach within 20-40 minutes without requiring any stomach action, it is important not to eat them with other foods; doing so leads to fermentation, bloating, and even diarrhea. The best times to eat fruit are mid-morning and mid-afternoon, or for breakfast with nothing else.

For optimal digestion, fruit should preferably be consumed when it is in season. When picked too early, they have not reached their natural ripening stage and lack most vitamins and important sugars. They may also irritate the intestinal walls due to their high concentration of antibodies (acting as antigens in the body) and enzyme inhibitors (highly toxic). Once fully sun-ripened, the fruits’ toxins become neutralized. If you find that you have trouble digesting fruit, the reason could most often be that the fruit has been harvested too early.

Since they have a cooling influence, you may want to eat fruits more often during the summer months. They are less suitable during the cold season when we need more warming foods.

The best types of fruit are the ones that grow naturally in your environment. To properly digest fruit from another country, we require different digestive enzymes. We can only produce these enzymes if we have lived there for some time and our bodies have adapted to that new environment.

You may eat soaked dried fruit such as sultanas, figs, dates or prunes, either for breakfast (without other foods) or as a snack like other fruit. ‘Muscle test’ which ones are the most suitable for you! Dried fruits contain enzyme inhibitors, which can make them gas-forming and constipating. Soaking them overnight or for at least a few hours breaks down these natural chemicals and makes them more easily digestible.

Eat 8-12 almonds on a daily basis. This provides vital nutrients to the cells of the body, and particularly to the eyes and bones. Remove the skin by placing the almonds in boiled water for 15-20 minutes. The skins will easily slip off. Soaking them overnight increases their digestibility.

Note: The skin contains harmful acids used to protect the nut from insect attack and fungus. These acids may cause some irritation, or even allergies, in some sensitive individuals.

It is best to avoid leftover foods, with the exception of rice and beans, which you may keep for a day or two and then reheat. Research has shown there are more destructive bacteria in Grandma’s reheated soup than on a month-old kitchen sink sponge. With regard to vegetables, the active life force (Prana or Chi energy) and important enzymes and vitamins dissipate after one hour of cooking them. Frozen food is void of the life force, and thus has diminished nutrient-absorption. Fruit should be eaten only fresh. Microwaves used to cook food cause total disintegration of the food’s molecular structure and destroy its life force. Without its life force, food cannot be digested and assimilated properly.

For deep tissue-cleansing, drink hot (ionized) water frequently: Boil water for 15-20 minutes. Keep it in a thermos flask. Every half hour, take 1-2 sips or more according to your thirst. To have a cleansing effect, the water must be boiled this long and be taken as hot as you would take tea. You may put a small piece of fresh ginger in the flask to improve taste. By boiling the water continuously for at least 15 minutes, large numbers of negatively charged oxygen ions are generated. When ingested by taking frequent sips of this water throughout the day, these negatively charged ions systematically begin to cleanse the tissues of the body and help rid them of positively charged ions – those associated with high acidity and toxins. If you have excessive body weight, this cleansing method can help you shed many pounds of body-waste without any major undesirable side effects. It can be used for any health issue related to congestion in any part of the body.

Avoid ice-cold foods or beverages as they can ‘extinguish’ AGNI, the digestive fire, for many hours. They may also damage the nerve endings of the stomach. A hand, held in icy water, becomes numb. Similarly, cold drinks or food items cause the stomach cells to contract and prevent them from secreting the required amounts of digestive juices. They also make the stomach insensitive to potentially harmful foods or beverages, and effectively disrupt its communication and potential warning signals to the brain. In addition, digestive enzymes require a very specific temperature to operate optimally. By cooling down the enzymes’ environment, their digestive and anti-cancer properties begin to diminish, too, predisposing a person to excessive weight gain and even cancer. Also, the sudden cold influence, as caused, for example, by ice cream or iced beverages, forces the body to increase its internal heat generation in order to compensate for the harmful drop in temperature. This response wastes the body’s energy reserves and may make it feel even hotter and thirstier than before, particularly during the summer period. Foods and beverages that are of room temperature or warm are the most suitable and natural ones for the human body.

Use the spices appropriate for your body type generously. You will find them listed in Ayurvedic food charts. Spices not only enhance the flavor of food, but also contain vital nutrients and aromas that help with the digestion and metabolism of food. People who suffer from low metabolism (mainly Kapha types) can speed up their metabolic rate by as much as 30 percent by using warming or heating spices in their food. Chili peppers or chili-containing spice mixes should be avoided, though, as they affect the chest and cause mucus irritation in the stomach and intestines. If you like food to be hot and spicy, cayenne pepper is the best option.

If available, drink 2 to 4 ounces of freshly prepared carrot juice before lunch. Note: Pitta types should do the muscle test for carrot juice before attempting this regimen, since carrots can increase Pitta.

For one day per week or month, you may want try taking only a liquid diet (soups, freshly made juices, water, herbal teas, ionized water, etc.). Then gradually build up to a normal diet again. This may greatly relieve the digestive system of its daily workload and improve its ability to remove any accumulated toxic waste. Women benefit greatly if they have a ‘liquid day’ about one or two days before the onset of menstruation: this can help to make the menstrual period more comfortable and effective.

Green Tea – A Tea for Life

By Andreas Moritz

For more than thirty years, Western researchers have known that the occurrence of solid tumor cancers is far less in countries where populations consume large amounts of green tea. Cultures that are endowed with a long tea tradition have much to contribute to individual and global health. However, this applies only to green tea. Regular black tea, presently very popular almost everywhere, has not much to do with real tea. Real tea is derived from the tea plant Thea sinensis or Thea asoncica, not to be confused with herb teas such as peppermint, chamomile or fennel.

Both black and green teas originate from the same tea plant, but their methods of processing are different. The breaking of the leaves of the plants and exposing them to the oxygen of the air produces black tea. The resulting natural fermentation process destroys the most important biological ingredients of the tea – the tannins. By contrast, during the production of green tea, the leaves are stabilized through exposure to both humid and dry heat. This eliminates fermentation-producing enzymes and safeguards the nutrients.

Due to fermentation, black tea assumes drug-like qualities. Since tannins and other important nutrients are no longer present in the tea, its caffeine appears in free and unbound form. The stimulating effect of the quickly released caffeine causes the addictive effect of black tea. It triggers a ‘fight or flight’ response in the body. Since the body treats the ingested caffeine as a nerve toxin, the adrenal glands naturally respond by secreting the antidote adrenaline. This defense response by the body has a stimulating and enlivening effect. However, as the effects of the caffeine and adrenaline diminish, the body starts feeling tired and may end up exhausted.

Green tea works in a different way. The large amounts of tannins in green tea make certain that the caffeine is taken to the brain in only small and well-dosed amounts, which actually harmonizes the energies in the body. Unlike black tea, the original green version of the tea makes the body’s own energy-use more efficient. This helps the consumer of green tea improve his vitality and stamina without having to experience the ‘up and down’ effect so often accompanied with the consumption of black tea.

The value of tannin has been studied for centuries all over the world. Besides its ability to bind caffeine, it also has healing properties. Green tea is particularly helpful with intestinal disorders and high blood pressure. It has been shown to be 20 times more effective in slowing the aging process than vitamin E. Studies have demonstrated that the success rate of green tea in reducing oxidants in the body (considered responsible for aging) is 74 percent compared to 4 percent with vitamin E. The vitamin C content of green tea is four times higher than in lemon juice and it contains more B-vitamins than any other known plant. This makes green tea useful for facial skin conditions such as rosacea/acne. Apart from drinking green tea, you may apply it directly to the skin before bedtime and after washing your face in the morning.

Since green tea is highly alkaline it naturally helps combat hyperacidity. People who drink green tea also suffer less from arteriosclerosis. It also keeps the blood thin and prevents coronary heart disease, heart attacks and strokes. Furthermore, researchers from the University of Osaka, Japan, have been able to prove that green tea kills microbes responsible for cholera and tooth decay; it also destroys salmonella germs before they even have the chance to enter the stomach. A substance called ‘EGCG’ has been found to retard tumor growth. The Botikin Hospital in Moscow reported that green tea is more effective against infection than antibiotics, without producing any harmful side effects.

Green tea has over 100 ingredients that have been found useful for a number of conditions, it inhibits cell mutations leading to cancer, reduces blood fats, balances serum cholesterol levels, prevents high blood pressure, increases heart efficiency, improves brain functions, enhances metabolism, improves vision, supports secretion of saliva, increases growth of hair, reduces body fat and weight, stimulates digestion and helps clear urinary tract obstructions.

In a study testing the preventative action of green tea, a team of researchers from the Department of Preventive Medicine at the University of Southern California (U.S.C.) found that green tea prevented breast cancer in women by 30 percent if they consumed about half a cup per day. If they drank more than that, their risk of developing breast cancer was further reduced. Women who regularly drank black tea, on the other hand, didn’t have a reduction in their breast cancer risk. The good news is that this study revealed that you don’t need to drink buckets full of green tea to benefit from it.

The best green tea comes from the Shizuoka area in Japan; it grows organically and has no additives. People living in this area have a much lower cancer rate than those living in other areas of Japan. A reliable brand is Sencha sold by Kurimoto Trading Co., Japan. With over 130 ingredients, it is the richest of all green teas. Other brands are Ocha or Bancha; you should be able to find at least one of them at a good health food store.

Note: The effectiveness of green tea depends on how you prepare it. Take 1½ teaspoons of green tea for 2 cups of tea. Bring water to a boil and turn the heat off. Put the tea into a pot and pour the boiled water over the tea as soon as the water has stopped bubbling. After no longer than 35-45 seconds, pour the tea through a sieve into a teapot, otherwise the tea loses much of its effectiveness. You may use the same leaves a second time by applying the same procedure.

Does Green Tea Contain Toxins?

Some web sites on the Internet claim that tea is very high in fluoride content. Fluoride in tea is supposedly much higher than the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) set for fluoride in drinking water. Another site confirms that information, adding that the typical cup of tea exceeds one milligram of fluoride, which is well over the recommended amount for fluoridated drinking water. On yet another site, it says that fluorine and its compounds in food are entirely different from chemically-produced sodium fluoride. It states that once an element is extracted from the soil and incorporated into plant life, its properties change greatly. All this can be greatly confusing for those concerned about fluoride poisoning.

Yes, fluoride is found in tea and also in mother’s milk. This applies also to areas where there is no fluoride in the drinking water or air. Numerous plants contain naturally occurring fluorine or fluoride compounds. The hideous version of fluoride that is added to drinking water in so many parts of the world is the poison we ought to protect ourselves against. “Fluoride, once touted as an osteoporosis treatment, is, in fact, toxic to bone cells,” says John R. Lee M.D. Thankfully, the American Dental Association, which has for many years been one of fluoride’s biggest advocates, changed course when it alerted its members in 2006 that parents of infants younger than a year old “should consider using water that has no or low levels of fluoride” when mixing baby formula.

If the naturally occurring fluoride in green tea were even remotely toxic (like the fluoride added to drinking water), it would not have shown to have such a wide range of preventive and curative effects. The body’s immune system would reactively respond to it and become weakened in the process, yet quite the opposite is true. Green tea inhibits cell mutation, stimulates digestion and enhances brain functions. Synthetic fluoride has the exact opposite effects.

The fluoride – or fluorine – that occurs naturally in tea and other foods is so volatile that most of it evaporates in the heating process. The synthetic sodium fluoride added to water, on the other hand, remains stable when heated. So the sodium fluoride in your cup of tea is of much greater concern than the natural fluoride in the tea itself. Excessive fluoride intake can lead to hyperthyroidism. If you have been diagnosed with this disorder you should consult with a doctor of Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine or an ND (doctor of naturopathic medicine) who is knowledgeable about nutrition and its effects on the body’s endocrine glands.

We Contract Or Expand As A Physical Response To Feeling Safe Or Threatened

By Andreas Moritz

On the Earth plane, relationships are primarily experienced as physical. The emotional sensations of happiness, sadness, guilt, jealously, anger, fear and love are physical phenomena that require the secretion of specific hormones. For example, there is adrenaline to express fear, cortisol to produce anger, and serotonin to make you happy. Without these chemicals these emotions cannot occur. The cells of the body speak to us through the language of emotions. It is through emotions that the body tells us how we are dealing with certain situations, with others and ourselves. There are only two basic responses that our emotional and physical bodies can have to any given experience. Although the physical body and the body of emotions are inseparable, I have made this distinction to clarify the effect that emotions have on the body. The two responses are contraction and expansion.

Contraction is the physical response to not feeling safe. Most human beings constantly assess the area around them and ask themselves: “How safe am I here?” Just being with a person who appears superior or more powerful than you are can have a strong impact on you and your behavior. Your whole being knows this. You must have noticed that whenever you feel insecure in some way your body pulls inward, breathing becomes shallow, or you become cold. This contraction takes place in every cell of the body. Your cellular structure contracts if you feel judged or criticized by someone and thereby lets you know that it doesn’t feel safe. Because you don’t feel safe, you are not likely to open up to that person in fear of being hurt or put down.

Expansion, on the other hand, takes place when you feel safe and accepted. In a peaceful, beautiful environment, such as the top of a mountain, near a fresh water stream, or by the sea, you become naturally relaxed. The cells of your body don’t need to ‘hold their breath’ and be tight to protect themselves. They can breathe fully and give up their light, their energies. They will tell you that you are safe in this environment. Here nobody dislikes you or sees you in a negative way. You feel expanded and free, free to be yourself without pretense and without having to play a specific role. All the masks you are used to wearing to hide or protect yourself are removed and you show your real you. You feel alive. Yet you know you cannot stay in this world of expansion forever and must return to what you call the real world, back to contraction.

Human relationships can bring out our worst fears and insecurities. We are afraid of each other because we have spent lifetimes making each other afraid. Your world can be very scary if you perceive it this way. This point was once beautifully described by Albert Einstein in response to a journalist who asked something to this effect: “Dr. Einstein, you are recognized around the world as one of the most bonafide geniuses of our century, maybe of human history. Your scope of thinking has covered the workings of the universe from the tiny atom to the cosmos. You have seen your discoveries both evolve and enrich, and also mutilate and destroy the human life you so highly value. What, in your opinion, is the most important question facing humanity today?”

Characteristically, Einstein stared off into space for a moment, and then looked down at the ground in front of him. Finally he looked back at the reporter and replied:

“I think the most important question facing humanity is: ‘Is the universe a friendly place?’ This is the first and most basic question all people must answer for themselves. For if we decide that the universe is an unfriendly place, then we will use our technology, our scientific discoveries and our natural resources to achieve safety and power by creating bigger walls to keep out the unfriendliness and bigger weapons to destroy all that which is unfriendly – and I believe that we are getting to a place where technology is powerful enough that we may either completely isolate or destroy ourselves as well in this process. If we decide that the universe is neither friendly nor unfriendly and that God is essentially ‘playing dice with the universe’, then we are simply victims to the random toss of the dice and our lives have no real purpose or meaning. But if we decide that the universe is a friendly place, then we will use our technology, our scientific discoveries and our natural resources to create tools and models for understanding that universe. Because power and safety will come through understanding its workings and its motives.”

In response to this challenge, each day it is up to you whether you withdraw your energies from the world and pretend that, in such a mode of contraction, you are safe, or alternatively, expand and extend your energy into all of life. The first choice leaves you with jittery, nervous cells that are ever vigilant to a possible assault; the other choice allows you to feel safe regardless of what happens around you. When you withdraw your energies from others, you do this only because of pain and fear of pain. Your body’s cells contract and none of the cellular energies of love and light are available to you. For example, heart cells that have contracted cause physical and emotional pain, love is absent at such times.

A closed, contracted heart is the true reason for heart trouble. An aching heart is a purely physical phenomenon, not a psychological one. Whereas fear can grip the body, it cannot touch consciousness. It is important to remind ourselves that the emotional body is not separate from the physical body. Emotions are merely there to inform us what the cells are going through. A broken heart is one that believes it cannot feel safe again, and thus remains closed and contracted. Heart disease is the body’s attempt to mend the broken heart by throwing the withdrawn and contracted feelings out in the open. Some people understand what is happening and begin to open their hearts; others don’t and die from a broken, contracted heart. The latter ones remained stuck in their belief that others had hurt them and that this had caused them to withdraw their love. Those, however, who see beyond the illusion of pain, can move on and discover that they are responsible for creating their own reality and can therefore change it.

It is time to create a new cellular message, one that allows the cells of your body to extend to an area they don’t need to be afraid of. There is no real safety in contraction. All that it can offer you is a false sense of security. You can easily change your body’s response by replacing this outdated belief system (of feeling safe through contraction) with the belief that expansion will make you safe. Whenever you feel frightened or insecure, instead of holding your breath, you can decide to breathe more fully. This allows you to expand with your breath. Your whole body expands when you expand with your breath. Your chest extends with each intake of breath and your spine straightens. Even your heart expands. An expanded heart is an open heart, one that is capable of sharing love. Giving love can never hurt you, only withdrawing it does. The only reason we contract when we confront difficult situations or challenging people is because we are not conscious of our contraction. If you become conscious of your tendency toward contraction, you are highly unlikely to continue falling into this trap repeatedly.

You can practice expansion with all your relationships. If your partner, for example, walks in and tells you: “Sit down, we have to talk”, do you expand or contract? Or, if you hear that you haven’t been accepted for the job you applied for, do you expand or contract? Does being stuck in a traffic jam make you expand or contract? It is not in your hands to change anything about these situations but you certainly can do something about your response to them. Know that safety cannot come from outside, it is an inside job. You are always safe because you are God, the universe; you are one with everything, so there is nothing you need to be afraid of and nothing that can harm you. You have agreed to everything that happens to you, for your own good. If it doesn’t feel that way, it is only because deep down you want to give yourself the opportunity to change your (false) belief that safety lies in contraction. There will be threats to your sense of safety only for as long as you believe you need to safeguard yourself. Once you expand into the difficult moments of your life, they become less threatening and they vanish altogether.

One thing that can help you in the practice of expansion is regular meditation. Sitting in a quiet place with your eyes closed produces a feeling of safety, which allows your cells to relax and be at ease and to open their energies to you. Knowing that every day there is a time of safety helps them to be open and free. This will make it easier for you to extend into those situations that you cannot change. Extension always brings love whereas contraction adds to your fear.

We Are Not Superior To Animals

By Andreas Moritz

Exploitation of animals by humans

None of the species on this Earth is meant to act in a superior manner toward any other. Exploitation in any form may bring short-term benefits but results in long-term losses. Exploiting humans or animals reflects loss of power and freedom for both the exploiter and the exploited. We have entered a time when every action not serving the highest interest of all involved, and that includes every person and animal on this planet, is backfiring immediately. Those who exploit animals to reap financial benefit and those who eat them or what they produce, are now treading the path of self-annihilation (of their physical bodies) through disease. This is not to say that eating flesh foods is wrong, just as it is not wrong to say that driving our cars with fossil fuels is wrong. What I am saying is that we may need to watch out for the opportunities for change, opportunities that correspond to a new level of energy waiting to be discovered and utilized for the betterment of all living creatures on Earth. Perhaps the most complex of human relationships with the animal kingdom exists between humans and cows.

Our societies are basically mute and deaf with regard to their relationship with cows. It is purely one-sided. Cows have become ‘food machines’ that provide us with our ‘daily bread’. We have concluded that this must be the reason why they exist. In truth, though, they are here to symbolize and manifest the frequencies of unconditional love and care, the feminine principles of our innermost giving nature. They also reflect to us how weak and vulnerable we have become by making ourselves so dependent on them for our livelihood and survival.

The exploitation of billions of farm animals for their meat and milk has become such a lucrative and accepted business on Earth that even the cutting down of the Earth’s rain forests to make room for cattle pastures is legalized and sanctified by governments. Yet the governments are only mirrors of the collective consciousness of the people. The rapid destruction of the planet and her species are part of what we do to ourselves, and although it seems so meaningless and wasteful, it serves as a last-minute wakeup call for every one of us to choose love over fear.

Cows are very much our equals. Just because we do not share the same language does not mean that they are non-conscious beings. Can we really be so arrogant as to believe that animals don’t think or have feelings of their own? Their Higher Selves are no less developed than are ours. In actual fact, their connection to the higher dimensions usually is much more open than ours because they have little choice but to accept who they are in each moment. Because of their high state of consciousness, out of love for humankind and the Earth, cows have even accepted centuries of abuse and exploitation for meat and milk by humans. Now it is no longer acceptable for any species, including the cows, to be used against their will.

The Milk is Turning Sour

Cows were never meant to provide milk for anyone but their own offspring. After a certain length of time, a cow’s child (that is what it is) naturally begins to forfeit milk and instead relies on solid foods. Like human babies, calves are weaned off milk and the cow’s breasts or udders become ‘dry’ until once again they fill in response to the birthing of new children. Today, cows are forced to give many times more milk in a day than is natural for them. Cows are forcefully kept pregnant to keep milk production high. The constant overuse of their reproductive organs results in disease. They receive antibiotics and growth hormones to accelerate further growth and milk output, stressing all their organs and systems beyond endurance. When they give birth, their children are often taken away from them and raised for meat and slaughtered before they even have a chance to experience the world. Humans rarely, if ever, notice the emotional trauma mother and child experience because of all this.

Cow’s milk is meant for cows and only cows, just as human milk is meant for humans only. The quality of mother’s milk is different in different species of animals. Each type of milk was specifically designed during the course of millions of years of evolution for exactly that kind of animal. For example, cow’s milk consists of relatively large amounts of protein and crude calcium, whereas human milk has hardly any protein and very little calcium. If you give human milk to a calf, it will die quickly from lack of protein and weak bones. If you give cow’s milk to a human baby, it may develop colitis, bloating, allergies, ear and throat infections, etc. in the early stages of development, and protein buildup in blood vessel walls, calcified and brittle bones, obesity, arthritis and diabetes, cancer, heart disease, etc. in the later stages of life.

Before cows were used for commercial reasons their milk was less poisonous than it is today. In some countries, cows were considered sacred animals and their milk was used for sacramental purposes only. The cows were traditionally honored and cared for. They were brushed, cleaned and adorned. Those who kept cows knew that in order for their milk to be nourishing they had to really care for them. When the cows felt loved and cherished, they produced milk that was even suitable for human consumption in small quantities.

Energy and information are the sole components of everything in the universe. Whatever energy and information goes into something, that is the energy and information that is going to emerge from it again. The way our cows are being treated today and the reason behind keeping them as farm animals has turned cow’s milk from being a source of joy, inspiration and nourishment to a source of destruction. There is no more sacred bond left between humans and cows. The connection has been severed. Because of this, the milk we force cows to produce is charged with the destructive elements of human collective consciousness.

Isn’t it ironic that milk, which used to be a symbol of love and nourishment, has become one of the principle causes of illness on the planet? The milk has become poisonous for us not because cows want to kill us. They merely pass on to the milk the destructive energies they receive from the human species. Highly evolved species, ones that have a flawless connection with the higher realms, never complain or hit back when they are hurt or tortured. They do not judge us when we destroy them, because they know we are only destroying ourselves. You may kick a rock because you feel angry about something, but the rock does not kick you in return; it knows that you are only hurting yourself by this action. Most of nature is like that. The poor and harmful quality of the milk produced by our cows merely reflects how we treat ourselves.

Today’s milk is not just filled with synthetic hormones, pus, antibiotics, and added chemicals but with the grief and fear hormones made by the cows due to the lack of love and care they suffer and the loss of their children. When we ingest the milk, these vibrations of grief, fear and anguish become part of our body, mind and soul.

The Gentle Effectiveness Of Cure By Sunlight Is Ignored Due To Dominance Of The Pharma Industry

By Andreas Moritz

Sunlight is possibly the most powerful natural broad spectrum drug.

The medical doctor and author, Dr. Auguste Rollier, was the most famous heliotherapist of his day. At his peak, he operated 36 clinics with over 1,000 beds in Leysin, Switzerland. His clinics were situated 5,000 feet above sea level.

The intensity of ultraviolet light increases by 4 percent for every 1000 feet of elevation above sea level. So at 5000 feet, the sun’s UV intensity is increased by a whole 20 percent. The strategically placed clinics allowed his patients to catch a lot more UV light. Dr. Rollier used this UV light to treat diseases such as tuberculosis (TB), rickets, smallpox, lupus vulgaris (skin tuberculosis), and wounds.

He followed in the footsteps of the Danish physician Dr. Niels Finsen, who won the Nobel Prize in 1903 for his treatment of TB using ultraviolet light. In a span of 20 years, more than 2,000 cases of surgical (bone and joint) tuberculosis were treated, and more than 80% were discharged as cured at Dr. Rollier’s clinics.

Rollier found that sunbathing early in the morning, in conjunction with a nutritious diet, produced the best effects. The patients (many of them children) were gradually exposed to the sun’s rays until the whole body could be bared. In winter the whole day could be spent in the sunshine and dry, cold air. In summer however, exposure was limited to the morning hours only.

More than 100,000 lives were lost each year from tuberculosis, the ‘White Plague’, as it was then called. The miraculous complete cures of tuberculosis and many other diseases made headlines at that time.

What surprised the medical community most was the fact that the sun’s healing rays remained ineffective if the patients wore sunglasses. [Sunglasses block out important rays of the light spectrum which the body requires for essential biological functions. Note: your eyes receive these rays even if you are in the shade] By the year 1933, there were over 165 different diseases for which sunlight proved to be a beneficial treatment.

However, with the death of Rollier in 1954 and the growing dominance of the pharmaceutical industry, heliotherapy sadly fell into disuse. The gentle effectiveness of cure by sunlight was ignored and soon forgotten.

By the 1960s, manmade ‘miracle drugs’ had replaced the medical fraternity’s fascination with the sun’s healing powers. By the 1980s the public was increasingly bombarded with warnings about sun-bathing and the risks of skin cancer from exposure to sun. People were alarmed and even terrorized by the strong lobby of the sunscreen industry that put financial gains far above social health and wellbeing.

Today, the sun is considered the main culprit precipitating skin cancer, certain cataracts leading to blindness, and aging of the skin. Only those who take the ‘risk’ of exposing themselves to sunlight find that the sun actually makes them feel better, provided they do not use sunscreens or burn their skin by way of overexposure.

This Is The Time to Make a Choice, This Is The Time To Learn

By Andreas Moritz

The time of making a choice for promoting life rather than destruction and death on Earth is now. Those who begin to love themselves and take care of their most precious possession – the human body – will be protected, loved and honored by the Earth. They will be ‘initiated’ into the world of spiritual wisdom. Some people like to call this process the ‘Second Coming of Christ’, others name it ‘The Dawn of the Age of Enlightenment’, ‘Heaven Descending on Earth’, the ‘Onset of the Aquarian Age’, or ‘The End of the World (of Ignorance)’. It is not important by what name we call new time. What is important is that the Earth will become a true home for those who are ready to live and express love.

This is perhaps the most important time humankind has ever experienced because the choices we are making now will affect our future more dramatically than ever before. This is the time of learning: learn to serve your body, your heart, your friends, the animals, the plants, all life forms, and the planet, in whatever ways you best can. By doing this, you intensify the love frequency within and around you, which can be considered to be the most important work anyone can do at this moment in time. There are already millions of people who have recognized both the need and the power of service. Even on a mass communications network like the internet, you can find numerous people who, without any financial return on their expenses, pass extremely helpful (spiritual) information to numerous subscribers. They have no other intent than to raise the love frequency in those who receive it. These light or love workers will be rewarded amply and in ways which will become more apparent after the Great Transition.

Many people have the impression that self-work is difficult and that it requires discipline and a lot of patience. The truth, however, is far from that. Everything we do in life is self-work, although most people may not recognize it as such. Your thoughts, feelings, attitudes, desires, etc. occur on many levels simultaneously. In the body, for example, they occur as neurotransmitters, which trigger profound physiological responses. In the ether, they become powerful energy fields that affect your body, other people and the environment. Therefore, when you move all those things out of your wardrobe or room for which you have no need any more, or when you tidy up your garden, basement, desk etc., you do the same thing on all levels of existence. If one corner of your house is always untidy, dirty, or full of things you no longer need but cannot let go of, there is one part in your mind and body that you need to attend to as well. The state of your environment reflects the state of your body and mind. If your present environment no longer ‘suits’ you, it is because you have moved on – physically, emotionally and spiritually, and you may need to create or move to a new environment that reflects the ‘new’ you.

There is a great deal of restlessness among people on the planet now, which is expressed by the desire to change their home, job and/or partner. If you feel equally agitated, it is best to go with the flow and not stick to the old beliefs or principles of how you should live your life. Make increased happiness your main focus in life. Happiness comes naturally when your focus is on serving others, your body and nature in whatever way you can. For example, if you see rubbish lying on the ground, you have the choice of either ignoring it, saying it is other people’s responsibility, or picking it up and throwing it into the nearest trashcan. If we decide to pick up rubbish that others have carelessly left behind, we develop humility, strip our ego of false pride, and create a powerful energy field in the ether which will quietly inspire other people to do the same (similar to the Hundredth Monkey phenomenon).

By attending to your body, cleansing it, feeding it properly, by listening to its subtle messages and learning from them, and finally by seeing it as a divine instrument, you will automatically grow in the desire to help others to do the same. This is what is meant by true service. As a reward, you will see Earth in a different light, too. Those who choose to develop this love frequency regardless of whether they express it through cleaning up a beach or healing another person will receive the very best that nature can offer. Heaven is a perceptual reality, which we can create by tuning into the most blissful frequency of living, the frequency of love. The current period of global transformation allows us to develop the love frequency more easily and more quickly than was ever possible before.
