Dear Readers,

In a forward to a book, Dr. Fateh Manghirmalani

N. D. beautifully writes as under :

"In these turbulent and mechanical times, majority of

mankind is sick in body, mind and soul. Whereas millions of

dollars are being spent on health care, far too many of us

suffer from obesity, high blood pressure, ulcers, backache,

migraine, arthritis, stroke, cancer and so on. The list is

endless. Allopathic drugs compound the diseases and

increase our miseries. They are as good as poisons.

Health is more complex and indeed more simple than the

allopathy would have us believe. We only have to turn to

mother nature, and true health, energy and peace would

follow. Alternative Medicine, which should be actually termed

as Integrative Medicine, pursues spiritual calm, emotional

peace and physical fitness. It is a holistic concept, where

one must take responsibility for his own health.

Life comes only once. True health, can help us enjoy life

and pursue our ultimate goal of salvation. The rule of health

is very simple. Cure your nature, and nature will cure you.

Please try to understand the message.

With divine love...

Naturally yours,

God heals and the doctor takes the fee. Franklin

I am dying with the help of too many physicians. Alexander the Great

Man should have been extinct like the dinosaurs longago if what we hear today about drugs, preventive screening

of the apparently healthy population and technology keeping

people alive on this planet were to be true. The latter wereoperational, at best, for little over half a century.

Many studies have been looking at the reasons why we

are still here despite the absence of modern hi-tech medicinebeing available to our forest dwelling ancestors over

thousands of years of their existence on the planet.

Evolution of man does not simply follow the native Darwinianlaws. Environment, in addition, has a lot to do with our

evolution. That is seen in many other species as well. One

example would suffice. There is a type of butterfly thatdemonstrates an interesting response upon fleeing from a

killer reptile, when pregnant. Upon Its escape, it tries to so

mutate the offsprings genes that it enables the foetus todevelop much larger wing span, making it possible to get

away from danger more effectively. The mother butterfly

simultaneously mutates the genes of its offspring in thewomb to be able to smell the enemy scent from a longer

distance, by enhancing the childs olfactory mechanism!

Similar evolutionary changes, based on our environment,kept us going for so long without the assistance of any hi-

tech stuff. Let us call this the intelligence of the body. Time

was when man lived in the forests, and the causes of deathwere primarily senility or predation. To keep man going despite

injury in the likely event of an attack by larger animals, genetic

mutation helped to develop the sympathetic system. This couldkeep one going in an emergency, say bleeding, by

redistributing the circulation to supply blood to the vital organs

in preference to the non-vital parts and also to help the blood

HUMAN BODYS INTELLIGENCE to clot and the bleeding vessels to constrict, arresting bloodloss. This friend of man could become his own enemy i f used

on a long-term basis, as happens in clinical heart failure!The renin-angiotensin - aldosterone system was another

boon to the hunter gatherer man in the forest, who did noteat extra salt in his food. This prevented his blood pressure

from falling to shock levels after injury and bleeding. In the

last ten thousand years, the same system has become ourcurse, with lots of salt added to our diet, resulting in a novel

disease, high blood pressure! In Nature, extremes are

detrimental. Whereas low sugar-high sugar, low bloodpressure-high blood pressure, and low cholesterol-high

cholesterol are all bad, constant fluctuations of all these

parameters are a must. Stationary levels obtain only afterdeath! The story of mans immune system being able to cope

with adversity is also based on the experience of any hostile

environment through genetic mutation. History of man in

the New World is a good example. When Europeans landedon the American continents the virgin population of that

landmass did not have any immunity against the diseasesthe Europeans were heir to, like small pox, More Natives

died due to such scourges than to the European guns.

The Medical world is learning the hard way the need torespect this capacity of the body and not to interfere too

much too soon with modern gadgets and powerful drugs,

hurting the native wisdom of the body and its in-builtprotective mechanisms. Some examples would reveal the

secret. Our present mind set of "a pil l for every ill" and "quick

fixes" has to give place to our understanding that there is aself-regulatory compensatory phase inside the human body

for every single alteration or accident!

Studies of sex workers in Nigeria and San Francisco have

shown that there are many of them in the trade, on a regular

The mind needs to be cleansed daily as does the body.Our best bet is still prevention.

basis, housed in the designated areas having "good

business", who keep very good health, despite having more

than 50% of their clientele with either full blown AIDS or, atleast, the presence of the virus in the blood or semen! But

the sophisticated classes of sex workers who operate fromfive-star outfits do not enjoy this immune protection! The

same calamity befalls the hapless victim of accidental

exposure to AIDS virus! Oxford University has embarkedon studies of the Nigerian prostitutes and the healthy ones

from San Francisco to see if some sort of vaccine could be

produced from the knowledge gained from such sexworkers.

Children of migrant workers in Dakshina Kannada district

of Indian Karnataka state on the west coast, originally fromNorthern Karnataka, whose parents do not have lucrative jobs

to give them good food, mostly live on makeshift dwellings on

the road side literally eating from the dirt, and resist most of

the communicable diseases much better than their cousins inclean and rich households! Extra clean surrounding might

endanger children's heaalth by exposing them to new risksfrom ordinarily innocuous germs. Epidemics of viral

appendicitis in British primary schools are one such example.

Caucasians exposed to falciparum malaria are likely todie most of the time, if not properly protected by drugs for

prevention, as they have not been exposed to this germ

earlier. This is due to the lack of racial immunity. Similarly,when Europeans first come to third world countries they

usually are not able to tolerate the drinking water that we all

take without any harm.Hostile environments make us acquire the capacity to

genetically produce immunity against many adverse situations.

The same mechanism could work against us under special

circumstances. East Africans living in East Africa have very

little, if any, autoimmune diseases. East Africans form the bulk

of American blacks. In America they live in a much cleaner

environment without exposure to killer germs like malaria,filaria and others found in Africa. The one hundred-fifty odd

genes situated in the long arm of the ninth chromosome,exclusively looking after antibody production against invading

germs, at times, feel jobless in their new clean surroundings!

They could unwittingly manufacture antibodies against body'sown cells, resulting in a very high percentage antibodies

against body's own cells, resulting in a very high percentage

of killer autoimmune diseases in American blacks of EastAfrican origin! Strange are the ways of Nature!

Another glaring example appears in a study of the death

rate variations in grievously injured soldiers in the VietnamWar vis-a-vis the Falklands War. Whereas helicopter

evacuations and immediate blood transfusions and warming

were very common during the Vietnam War, during the wintry

war in the Falklands those facilities were absent and thewounded soldiers were sometimes left to fend for themselves

for long stretches of time in the cold! Curiously, the per capitadeath in the two groups showed that a much larger number of

them survived the wounds in Falklands compared to Vietnam!

One would not easily believe this, but this is the bitter truth.While the body's compensatory mechanisms, discussed

above, helped wounded bleeding soldiers on the South

American Island front, effectively, the cold weather helpedlower the basal metabolic rate thereby lessening the demand

for oxygen to the tissues. In Vietnam, the early human

intervention with blood transfusion enhanced bleeding bydisplacing the clot and reducing vasoconstriction, the

warmed up body increases the oxygen demand! This kind

of mistake occurs many times in some other disease in the

intensive care settings.

The seed of every single disease is first sown in the mind. Treat the underlying cause, not the effects.

Physiological heart failure is another good example. With

its onset, the sympathetic system remodels the heart and

redistributes circulation, but chronic stimulation makes thesame system destroy the heart muscle and enhance failure. If

we use blocking drugs at the beginning to knock off thesympathetic system patients could die, but later use of the

same drugs, when the body's own protective mechanisms are

exhausted, as in clinical heart failure, could save a lot of lives!One could go on and on. Every single intervention by man at

the wrong time ends up kil ling more people than saving them.

It is high time that many of the hi-tech early interventionsare properly and meticulously audited in the field before

being sold in the market. One would be shocked to know

that this does not happen most of the time because of thehype and greed. Newer interventions are touted as the new

avatar of life-saving-Gods in technological form and are let

loose on gullible and demanding patients. It is better to

remember the dictum that while it is the bounden duty of themedical profession to do its best for the suffering humanity,

even when knowledge in that field is inadequate, it is a crimeto intervene in the healthy segment of the population with

newer technology or untried drugs, with the fond hope and

assurance of averting long term danger when the latterinterventions are not properly audited in that setting.

Times change and knowledge is bound to change, but

wisdom lingers on.The prayer of a wise physician of yore, Sir Robert

Hutchinson, reveals it all :

God give me deliverance from : not letting the well alone,

treating suffering humans as cases, and

making my treatment worse than his suffering!

Dr. B.M. Hegde

We Need Healthcare Centers,

Not Disease-Scare HospitalsYes! The need today is for Holistic Health centers where

only PREVENTION OF DISEASE is emphasized. We haveenough Disease-Care and Disease-Scare hospitalsno more

of them, please! We now need more Holistic Health Educationcenters where, childhood onwards, we learn about right ali-

mentation, right type of physical exercises, right ways to thinkand act in life, right ways to relax the body and thereby the

mind, so on and so forth. We need centers where people learnabout prevention of pollution of the body as well as the mind;

where people learn about non-addiction to food, besides non-addiction to narcotics, whether mild such as brews of tea,

coffee or cocoa, or strong such as marijuana and LSD. We

need centers where people can be educated to care for andlook after in the right waythe natural waytheir precious

possessions of the physique and the psyche, which are God-given gifts to mankind. But the education in such centers will

not cultivate the wrong type of self-centeredness. Here peoplewill also learn to give maximum of whatever they possess or

are endowed with, especially money and riches. A poet hassaid, Ceasing to give, we cease to have. LIFE CONSISTS OF

GIVE AND TAKE, IN WHICH, GIVING IS AS IMPORTANT AS GET-TINGPERHAPS MORE IMPORTANT. Some people have the

addiction to accumulation of as much wealth as possible! Theybecome WEALTHOHOLICS, which is a soul-destroying disease.

And the Bible has rightly said, What will it avail thee, if youget the whole world but lose the soul? Philanthropy and be-

nevolence are a part of natural cure of all ailments; and both

are very relevant in prevention of ailments as well. CARINGFOR OTHERS AND SHARING WITH OTHERS OUR GOD-GIVEN

Major risk factors for most of the diseases are hatred,jealousy, ego, anger and destructive hostility.

The only logical way to fight disease is to augment thepower of the patients body to resist diseases.

Dr. H. P. Pickevil- M.D.

THE GAMEMost people consider life a battle, but it is not a battle,

it is a game.

It is a game, however, which cannot be played

successfully without the knowledge of spiritual law, and

the Old and the New Testaments give the rules of the game

with wonderful clearness. Jesus Christ taught that it was

a great game of Giving and Receiving.

"Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap"

This means that whatever man sends out in word or deed

will return to him : what he gives, he will receive.

If he gives hate, he will receive hate, if he gives love, he

will receive love, if he gives criticism, he will receive

criticism, if he lies, he will be lied to, if he cheats, he will

be cheated. We are taught also that the imaging faculty

plays a leading part in the game of life.

"Keep thy heart (or imagination) with all diligence, forout of it are the issues of life"

This means that what man imagines, sooner or later

externalises in his affairs. I know of a man who feared a

certain disease. It was a very rare disease and difficult to

get, but he pictured it continually, and read about it, until

it manifested in his body, and he died, the victim of

distorted imagination.

So, we see, to play successfully the game of life we

must train the imaging faculty. A person with an imaging

faculty trained to image only good brings into his life "every

righteous desire of his heart" - health, wealth, love, friends,

perfect self-expression, his highest ideals.

The imagination has been called "The Scissors of the

Mind," and it is ever cutting, cutting, cutting, day by day,

CURE. The wordWEALTH, after all, derives from WEAL,which

means GENERAL GOOD, or WELFARE OF THE COMMU-

NITY. The ordinary meaning of wealthas personal propertycame in later on. The original meaning was always synony-mous with COMMON-WEALTH! Our Holistic Health education

centers will aim at evolving human beings into HUMANEbeingskind, compassionate, forgiving and giving.

CONCLUSIONWe have seen that Nature Cure is based on laws that are

eternal, as also universal in their applicabilityapplicableto all the species of fauna, in the past, present and future.

We have also seen that Nature, or Divine Intelligence, residesin each and every cell of our body and performs all

functionsobvious as well as miraculous, known to us orunknown to us, anabolic as well as catabolic, but always

life-sustaining or health-restoring. Most of us, including

physicians, agree that Nature performs all functions. Who

else but Natureby whichever name one may prefer to callHer, it doesnt make any difference as long as one attributesthe same qualities to this Intelligent Power, which we call

Nature! Yet while speaking of all functions, the functionof health-restoration is excludeddue to ignorance or due

to some selfish motive. The heart beats and circulates blood,the lungs inhale and exhale air, the digestive system digests

and assimilates food, the excretory systems excrete wastes,and all other systems discharge their dutiesthe same way

as they used to do some millions of years ago; Nature hasbeen performing these functions from time immemorial, and

there is absolutely no possibility that She will not continueto do so ad infinitum. Nature Cure is relevant in modern times

and will remain relevant till mankind inhabits the earthno

doubt about it! Dr. M. M. Bhamgara

Give people a cure and they will be healed for a day.Teach them the cause and they will be healthy for a life time.

A healthy life style reduces the risk of disease to theextent possible.

the pictures man sees there, and sooner or later he meets

his own creations in his outer world. To train the

imagination successfully, man must understand theworkings of his mind. The Greeks said :"Know thyself."

There are three departments of the mind, the

subconscious, conscious, and super conscious. The

subconscious is simply power without direction. It is like

steam or electricity, and it does what it is directed to do, it

has no power of induction.

Whatever man feels deeply or images clearly is

impressed upon the subconscious mind, and carried out

in minutest detail.

For example : A woman I know, when a child, always

"made believe" she was a window. She "dressed up" in

black clothes and wore a long black veil, and people

thought she was very clever and amusing. She grew up

and married a man with whom she was deeply in love. In ashort time he died, and she wore black and a sweeping

veil for many years. The picture of herself as a window

was impressed upon the subconscious mind, and in due

times worked itself out, regardless of the havoc created.

The conscious mind has been called mortal or carnal

mind.

It is the human mind, and sees life as it appears to be.

It sees death, disaster, sickness, poverty, ad limitation of

every kind, and it impresses the subconscious.

The super-conscious mind is the God mind within each

man, and is the realm of perfect ideas.

In it is the "perfect pattern" spoken of by Plato. The

Divine Design : for there is a Divine Design for each person.

"There is a place that you are to fill and no one else can

fill, something you are to do which no one else can do."

There is a perfect picture of this in the super-conscious

mind. It usually flashes across the consciousness as anunattainable ideal "Something too good be true."

In reality, it is man's true destiny (or destination) flashed

to him from the Infinite Intelligence which is within himself.

Many people, however, are in ignorance of their true

destinies, and are striving for things and situations which

do not belong to them, and would only bring failure and

dissatisfaction if attained.

For example : A woman came to me and asked me to

"speak the word" that she would marry a certain man with

whom she was very much in love. (she called him A.B.)

I replied that this would be a violation of spiritual law,

but that I would speak the word for the right man, the

"divine selection," the man who belonged to her by divine

right.I added, "If A.B. is the right man you can't lose him and if

he isn't you will receive his equivalent." She saw A.B.

frequently, but no headway was made in their friendship.

One evening she called, and said, "Do you know, for the last

week A.B. hasn't seemed so wonderful to me." I replied, May

be he is not the divine selection - another man, who fell in

love with her at once, and who said she was his ideal. In

fact, he said all the things that she had always wished A. B.

would say to her.

She remarked, " It was quite uncanny."

She soon returned his love, and lost all interest in A.B.

This shows the law of substitution. A right idea was

substituted for a wrong one, therefore there was - loss or

sacrifice involved.

A healthy life style does not prevent death but mightpostpone premature death.

In the unlikely event of a disease, recovery is fasterand complete in those who follow a healthy life style.

Jesus Christ said, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God

and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added

unto you," and he said the Kingdom was within man.The Kingdom is the realm of right ideas, or the divine

pattern.

Jesus Christ taught that man's words played a leading

part in the game of life. "By your words ye are justified

and by your words ye are condemned."

Many people have brought disaster into their lives

through idle words.

For example : A woman once asked me why her life was

now one of poverty and limitation. Formerly she had a home,

was surrounded by beautiful things, and had plenty of money.

We found she had often tired of the management of her home,

and had said repeatedly. "I am sick and tried of things. I wish

I lived in a trunk," and she added : "To-day I am living in that

trunk." She had spoken herself into a trunk . Thesubconscious mind has no sense of humour, and people

often joke themselves into unhappy experiences.

For example : A woman who had a great deal of money

joked continually about "getting ready for the poor-house."

In a few years she was almost destitute, having

impressed the subconscious mind with a picture of lack

and limitation.

Fortunately the law works both ways, and a situation

of lack may be changed to one of plenty.

For example: A woman came to me one hot summer's

day for a "treatment" for prosperity. She was worn out,

dejected, and discouraged. She said she possessed just

eight dollars in the world. I said, "Good. We'll bless the

eight dollars and multiply them, as Jesus Christ multiplied

the loaves and the fishes," for He taught that every man

had the power to bless and to multiply, to heal and to

prosper.She said, "What shall I do next?"

I replied, "Follow intuition. Have you a 'hunch' to do

anything, or to go anywhere?" Intuition means in-tuition,

or to be taught from within. It is man's unerring guide.

The woman replied : "I don't knowI seem to have a

'hunch' to go home, I've just enough money for car-fare."

Her home was in a distant city, and was one of lack and

limitation, and the reasoning mind (or intellect) would have

said : "Stay in New York and get work and make some

money." I replied "Then go home never violate a hunch."

I spoke the following words for her : "Infinite Spirit, open

the way for great abundance for : She is an irresistible

magnet for all that belongs to her by divine right." I told

her to repeat it continually also. She left for homeimmediately. In calling on a woman one day, she linked up

with an old friend of her family.

Through this friend she received thousands of dollars

in a most miraculous way. She has said to me often, "Tell

people about the woman who came to you with eight

dollars and a hunch."

There is always plenty on man's pathway : but it can

only be brought into manifestation through desire, faith,

or the spoken word. Jesus Christ brought out clearly that

man must make the first move.

Ask, and it shall be given you, seek, and ye shall find,

knock, and it shall be opened unto you

In the Scriptures we read :

Concerning the works of My hands, command ye Me.

A happy mind is the best tonic for health. Radiant health is a choice.

Infinite Intelligence, God, is ever ready to carry out

mans smallest or greatest demands.

Every desire, uttered or unexpressed, is a demand. Weare often startled by having a wish suddenly fulfilled.

For example : One Easter, having seen many beautiful

rose-trees in the florists windows, I wished I would receive

one, and for an instant saw it mentally being carried in the

door.

Easter came, and with it a beautiful rose-tree. I thanked

my friend the following day, and told her it was just what I

had wanted.

She replied, I didnt send you a rose-tree, I sent you

lilies!

The man had mixed the order, and sent me a rose-tree,

simply because I had started the law in action, and I had to

have a rose-tree.

Nothing stands between man and his highest idealsand every desire of his heart but doubt and fear. When

man can wish without worrying. every desire will be

instantly fulfilled.

I will explain more fully the scientific reason for this,

and how fear must be erased from the consciousness. It

is mans only enemy - fear of lack, fear of failure, fear of

sickness, fear of loss, and a feeling of insecurity on some

plane. Jesus Christ said : Why are ye fearful, O ye of little

faith? So we can, we must substitute faith for fear, for

fear is only inverted faith, it is faith in evil instead of good.

The object of the game of life is to see clearly ones

good and to obliterate all mental pictures of evil. This must

be done by impressing the subconscious mind with a

realisation of good. A very brilliant man, who has attained

great success, told me he had suddenly erased all fear

from his consciousness by reading a sign which hung in

a room. He saw printed in large letters this statement :Why worry? It will probably never happen. These words

were stamped indelibly upon his subconscious mind, and

he has now a firm conviction that only good can come

into his life, therefore only good can manifest.

I will deal with the different methods of impressing the

subconscious mind. It is mans faithful servant, but one

must be careful to give it the right orders. Man has ever a

silent listener at his side-his subconscious mind.

Every thought, every word, is impressed upon it and

carried out in amazing detail. It is like a singer making a

record on the sensitive disc of the phonographic plate.

Every note and tone of the singers voice is registered. If

he coughs or hesitates, it is registered also. So let us break

all the old bad records in the subconscious mind, therecords of our lives which we do not wish to keep, and

make new and beautiful ones.

Speak these words aloud with power and conviction : I

now smash and demolish every untrue record in my

subconscious mind. They shall return to the dust-heap of

their native nothingness, for they came from my own vain

imaginings. I now make my perfect records through Christ

within the records of Health, Wealth, Love, and perfect self-

Expression. This is the square of life . The Game completed.

Man can change his conditions by changing his words.

Any man who does not know the power of the word is

behind the times.

Death and Life are in the power of the tongue.

The body works as a whole.

BORN TO SERVEDR. MERWAN BHAMGARA

(1928-2008)Few have measured up to Emersons immortal

definition of SUCCESS, Dr. Merwan Bhamgara was one of

those rare men who lived these thoughts with simplicity,

grace and utmost humility. He was the man who laughed

often and much, he won the respect of intelligent people

and the affection of children, he earned the appreciation

of honest critics, he appreciated beauty and always found

the best in others. He left the world a bit better by scores

of healthy human beings, by his beautiful garden which

he often tended personally and by fervently advocating

Naturopathy not just as a therapy but as a way of life. To

him the knowledge that even one life breathed easier

because of him, spelt true unanimously affirmed that hewas Born to Serve.

I shall be eternally grateful to my friend Meher Bharucha

for introducing me to Dr. Bhamgara in his lovely home at

Rye Woods, Lonavala. As we travelled together in train. I

pictured a grave, impressive and famous personality,

whom I would approach with a bit of dread and awe. But

my first glimpse of him, proved to be contrary. As we

entered his bungalow, I saw a lean energetic man with a

radiant childlike smile, proceeding towards us with a

distinct bounce in his step, we were greeted with a warm,

brotherly hug. What struck me instantly was his extremely

approachable manners despite winning national and

international accolades as a renowned scholar and

practitioner of Naturopathy.

His home was a welcome haven to anyone eager to

learn and explore the marvels of Naturopathy. He instilled

in us a sacred, reverent respect for our wondrousenvironment, which humanity repeatedly destroys,

desecrates and devastates for paltry and mercenary gains.

He hammered out relentlessly and ruthlessly, how we

abuse our bodies with repeatedly wrong diet, scant heed

to rigorous regular exercise, and by foolishly flouting the

concept of a disciplined life. To him, sleeping and rising

early during the Brahma muhurta hours to start the day

with serenity and fully charged intellect, was the only way

to live. Dr. Bhamgaras most remarkable trait was that he

only preached what he himself practised religiously and

scrupulously. His own rigorous exercise routine at 80 and

meticulously regulated diet, was a source of inspiration,

which many of us have emulated (in varying degrees) and

made an integral part of our daily routine.Dr. Bhamgaras frail yet fit body, bore eloquent

testimony to the rewards of a Naturopathic life style. He

was a repository of amazing intellectual and emotional

strength and boundless compassion, which he gave freely

and fully to all who sought it sincerely. Discipline,

consistency and faith, grounded in concrete factual proofs,

made him an ardent and active champion of Naturopathy,

which he lived and breathed, every moment of his life. He

fought cancer and even cured himself, largely with holistic

remedy.

His clarion call was humble and deep attitude of

supreme gratitude to nature, for the millions of magnificent

bounties showered on us, from birth to death. He never

missed a singly opportunity to reveal and reiterate, Instead

The body knows how to be well.

Time has come for mankind to depend more on ourimmune system rather than on antibiotics.

More and more studies in conventional scientificdisciplines have affirmed the fact that faith does heal.

of being grateful and repaying Nature for her countless

blessings, we ignorantly abuse not just our environment,

but our own bodies and yet Nature comes to our rescue toForgive and Heal.

The greatest and only tribute we can pay to this noble

soul, is to comprehend and implement the basic principles

of Naturopathy in our own daily existence, to make the

world cleaner and purer for posterity. Personally, I bless

him everyday, for making me aware and live by the simple

truths of health and hygiene, which have worked wonders

with my physical, mental, emotional and intellectual well-

being.

Serving and supporting him for years with utmost care

and dedication, was Mangala Behn, the wind behind his

Wings. A silent, sincere worker, she stood by Dr. Bhamgara

like the steadfast Rock of Gibralter.

Dr. Bhamgara has left indelible footsteps in the Healthand Hearts of hundreds, who thanks to his vast knowledge,

embraced Naturopathy as a cleaner, energetic, tension-

free way to a healthy, harmonious, peaceful living. He has

not only touched, but radically transformed umpteen lives

God bless his gentle, loving soul,

He played a vital, pioneering role,

In making us all alert and aware,

Of Natures grace and constant care,

In healing both our body and mind.

Treasured moments, memories,

And selfless, he leaves behind.

THE POWER OFYOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

1. Think good, and good follows. Think evil, and evilfollows. You are what you think all day long.

2. Your subconscious mind does not argue with you. Itaccepts what your conscious mind decrees. If you say,

"I can't afford it," your subconscious works to make ittrue. Select a better thought. Decree, "I'll buy it. I acceptit in my mind."

3. You have th power to choose. Choose health and

happiness. You can choose to be friendly, or you canchoose to be unfriendly. Choose to be cooperative,joyous, friendly, lovable, and the whole world will

respond. This is the best way to develop a wonderfulpersonality.

4. Your conscious mind is the "watchman at the gate." Itschief function is to protect your subconscious mind from

false impressions. Choose to believe that somethinggood can happen and is happening now. Your greatestpower is your capacity to choose. Choose happinessand abundance.

5. The suggestions and statements of others have nopower to hurt you. The only power is the movement ofyour own thought. You can choose to reject the thoughtsor statements of others and affirm the good. You have

the power to choose how you will react.6. Watch what you say. You have to account for every idle

word. Never say, "I will fail, I will lose my job, I can't pay

the rent." Your subconscious cannot take a joke. Itbrings all these things to pass.

7. Your mind is not evil. No force of nature is evil. Itdepends how you use the powers of nature. Use your

mind to bless, heal, and inspire all people everywhere.

Happiness of the soul, senses and the mind wouldensure good health definitely.

When doctors went on a strike in lsrael in the year 2000for 3 months, death rate and morbidity fell sharply in all thecities of that country.

8. Never say, "I can't." Overcome that fear by substitutingthe following: "I can do all things through the power of

my own subconscious mind."9. Begin to think from the standpoint of the eternal truths

and principle of life and not from the standpoint of fear,ignorance, and superstition. Do not let others do your

thinking for you. Choose your own thoughts and makeyour own decisions.

10. You are the captain of your soul (subconscious mind)and the master of your fate. Remember, you have the

capacity to choose. Choose life! Choose love! Choosehealth! Choose happiness!

11. Whatever your conscious mind assumes and believesto be true, your subconscious mind will accept and bring

to pass. Believe in good fortune, divine guidance, rightaction, and all the blessing of life.

Dr. Joseph Murphy

YOU ARE BETTER THAN YOU THINK

You have a body that functions marvelously, a mind

full of resources you havent even begun to tap. You have

abilities you never exploited. Spiritually God made you only

a little lower than the angels.

With all this, you may think yourself inferior. Many of

the worlds greatest and most successful individuals have

had feelings of inferiority similar to yours. Inferiority

feelings are very common, and usually prove only that you

have enough intelligence to aim high.

With the use of three Golden Keys, you can become

the kind of person you were meant to be. These are :

1) Thought : Substitute a pleasant, constructive thought

for every unpleasant idea that enters your mind.

2) Writing : Wri te down the qualities you want to achieve

and the faults you want to avoid. After every interview or

sales call, write down the things you did that you feel were

right, and those that you feel were wrong.

3) Action : Substitute one good habit for a habit that

you dont like very much in yourself. Continue to use key

one by visualising yourself as successful in getting used

to the new habit. Dora Albert

To believe that doctors and hospitals are needed forkeeping the health of the population is plain rubbish.

Denis Burkitt

The drug lobby is heavily financing medical educationand doctors are brain washed right from the day that theyenter medical school.

DRINK OF THE DEVIL - COFFEE

The Arabs, who first used coffee almost 800 years ago,

called it kahuha or power. Dark and mysterious it was

dubbed the drink of the devil by religion, medicine and

politics, and was said to inspire sedition and rebellion.

And yet it spread through the Islamic countries and into

Europe as a favoured drink of writers and aristocrats. By

the 18th century coffee plantations had sprung up in the

tropics. As prices dropped, it became the favoured beverage

of all classes in the world.

Coffee is today a major world agricultural product and is

almost a universal beverage. Millions of acres of fertile land

are devoted to its cultivation (a legacy of colonialism) and

the economies of a number of Third World Nations are

completely dominated by it. One percent of all international

trade is in coffee!

But despite its popularity, coffee is not a beverage nor afood. It is drunk neither to quench thirst nor to supply any

nutrients. It is not even a bean or a legume. Coffee is the

fruit of a semi-tropical evergreen which bears a flower (said

to be like an orange flower, with a jasmine fragrance). Its

fruit is called cherry and the bean inside the cherry is used

to make coffee. One tree on an average bears 2,000 cherries

- equal to only one pound of roasted coffee.

The coffee bean is one of the most complex, naturally

occurring flavours, composed of over 500 volatile

compounds. It is this combination which gives coffee its

bitter, astringent flavour. A combination of niacin, vitamins,

minerals, caffeine and tannic acid, coffee, is a powerful

physical and mental stimulant that increase thirst and

deprives the body of nutrients. It can be called an

inexpensive, easily obtainable, socially acceptable and

potentially addictive drug.

The primarily active ingredient of coffee is of course,

caffeine - a white, crystalline alkaloid which acts as a

stimulant. Coffee also contains other stimulants like

trigonellin (an element in nicotine) as well as aromatic oils

and acids. The action of caffeine has been well documented.

It stimulates the entire nervous system, acting directly in

the brain. It increases pulse rate, blood pressure and the

speed of respiration. The liver releases a stored glycogen

as glucose which raise the blood sugar level, giving a sense

of high energy and suppressing appetite. All the organs are

activated, including the kidney, bladder and the peristalsis

of the colon. Coffee is also proven to heighten the senses.

The association of coffee with the lives of academicians,

writers and scientists is perhaps true as coffee stimulates

the forebrain, accentuating appollonian impulses and

helping one through the punishing pace of life in anindustrialised world. But when the blood sugar level returns

to normal - more often it drops below normal - the person

turns tired, jittery, depressed and is unable to concentrate.

The only solution is yet another cup of coffee...

Caffeine toxicity weakens the organs. Energy, efficiency

and creativity the positive effects of coffee - can all be made

available to the body through a good diet and an integrated,

satisfying life style. Natural living can act as a powerful

stimulant without side effects !

A habitual coffee-drinker can expect physical and

psychological withdrawal symptoms like headaches, hot

flashes, palpitations of the heart, constipation, extreme

fatigue, depression, radical fluctuations of mood and an

inability to concentrate. But accompanied by a proper diet

Medicine has been commercialised and is the victim of all the

market forces thus making modern medicine prohibitively expensive

and doctors greedy.

and exercise a person can get deaddicted and regain mental

and physical energy within just two weeks. One even gets

more restful sleep after the cold turkey period.

According to the yin-yang theory, some foods are dominated

by expanding energy (yin) and some by contracting energy

(yang). People are drawn to an extreme yin substance such as

meat, fish, eggs, salt and overcooked grains and vegetables.

Thus, to deaddict oneself, one has to eliminate excessive yang

elements from the diet and introduce milder yin ones such as

steamed vegetables, salads, fresh fruits. Also the need for the

artificial lift which coffee gives is due in part to the lack of natural

stimuli of exercise, fresh air and sunshine. Outdoor activity has

the same physical and mental effects as coffee.

The tannic acid in coffee is excellent for tanning leather

and also cleanses dirty, greasy kitchen floors, stainless-steel

tables, deep fryers and any grease-covered surface. It also

kills rats. But the human body is not geared for such drastic

cleansing and coffee only corrodes it, sapping the energywithin. Decaffeinated coffee is probably more harmful than

the straight stuff as the decaffeinating process involves

soaking the beans in a toxic, chlorinated solvent. It therefore

cannot be treated or termed as either natural or healthy.

If you are yet tempted to drink a cup of coffee, try water-

sufficient fruits. They fill you up and do not drain you.

Note : The favourite food for rate is the coffee bean. When

instant coffee is manufactured, hundreds of rats get crushed

along with the bean.

Maybe the producers will try and tell you, that this is good

for you! Without paying for it, you are also getting rat protein

and rat calcium.

We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers,Wider freeways, but narrow viewpoints,

We spend more, but have less,We buy more, but enjoy less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families,more conveniences, but less time,We have more degrees, but less sense,more knowledge, but less judgement,more experts, but more problems,more medicine, but less well ness.

These are the times of tall men, and short characters,steep profits, and shallow relationships.These are the times of world peacebut domestic warfare,more leisure, but less fun,more kinds of food, but less nutrition.

It is a time when there is much in the show window,and nothing in the stockroom,

a time when technology can bring this letter to you,and a time when you can chooseeither to make a difference - or just hit delete.
