   How to Permanently Eliminate "Colds/Flus" by Simple Dietary Change
M
     The following is written in response to David Carroll's article: How To Stop
a Cold Before It Stops You, published in Whole Life Times, Nov/Dec 1981, and his
subsequent book of the same title.

    In them, the author propagates several errors currently popular in various
"schools of healing".

     They are:
     1> that "colds/flus" are a "disease"
     2> that "cures" or "treatments" exist for "colds/flus" or other "disease"
     3> that such phenomena should be "stopped"
     4> that the passing on of erroneous information is "testament to its
effectiveness", i.e., that "traditional" healing techniques are effective simply
because they are traditional
     5> that viruses "cause colds/flus"
     6> that one should assume a different lifestyle when ill than when well
     7> that "colds/flus", and disease in general, are necessary or unavoidable
     8> that there are "good and bad" germs.

     The fact that various cultures throughout human history have developed numerous
elaborate, bizarre, and uniformly ineffective and/or dangerous "healing systems" is
clear testimony to the fact that those cultures simply do not know enough about
Natural Law to live in such a way as to not experience disease.  If they lived a
healthy lifestyle, they would be healthy, not experience disease, and thus no "healing
systems" would ever come into practice.  Too simple?  Not so, when one recognizes that
living entities in Nature do not experience illness, at least in the eons of time
prior to industrial pollution and human devastation of natural ecosystems.  Multiple,
rampant "diseases" exist only in the human province.  Therefore, all "disease"
(dis-ease), pain, and suffering is self-induced and created strictly by the lifestyle
errors of the victim.  The possible exceptions are congenital diseases or "birth
defects" caused by genetic copying errors or, much more likely, chromosome damage
resulting from exposure of the parent(s) to toxic, mutagenic, or teratogenic
industrial chemicals, pollution, pharmaceuticals, or ionizing radiation.  The
overwhelming majority of birth defects are a direct result of industrial chemical
technology, and the frequency of incidence of these tragic problems has risen
directly with the increasing "progress" of industrial chemistry.  Neither the
Creative Intelligence in the universe nor Nature itself forces pain on humans or any
other being.

     The term "natural medicine" is self contradictory, for there are no medicines
in Nature.  Nature needs no medicines because Nature is healthy, and indeed, defines
perfect health.

     Likewise, there are no "cures", useful "treatments", or "therapeutic
modalities" existing outside the body, since only the living organism knows how to
heal itself using wisdom developed over billions of years of successful evolution
which is stored in the genetic code of each organism.  Since Life has been successful
for billions of years, and since all human cultures or societies collapse in a few
decades or so, it is arrogant and absurd to assume that cultural practices are
superior to, or somehow can control, successfully manipulate, or even avoid, natural
processes.  The unstated assumptions used as a philosophical basis for various
"schools of healing" that some magic and/or poisonous herb, industrial chemical/drug,
scalpel, eagle feather, secret ritual, needle prick, holy dance, poisonous smoke,
mellifluous mantra, yogi yantra, etc., somehow has information, wisdom, or ability
better than our own genetic code about how our cellular biochemistry works, are both
totally erroneous and unsupportable by scientific logic.

     Most so-called "treatments" are the application or ingestion of dead,
unknowledgeable substances, the great majority being highly toxic.  One can easily
test the toxicity of one's favorite "curative" herbS01T, drug or pharmaceuticalS02T
by simply eating a pound or two fresh and raw: the result will be lethal in most
cases and quite painful in all.  Since animals in Nature can eat a full meal of items
in their natural diet, meal after meal, day after day, year after year, with
absolutely no ill effects whatsoever, the fact that an item produces immediate toxic
reactions should be sufficient evidence to the intelligent person that such items
should be avoided altogether.S03T  Once we recognize the obvious fact that herbs,
drugs, medicines, and pharmaceuticals are all quite poisonous, the wise person must
ask, "How do poisons produce health?".  Clearly, they do not.  The fact is that such
remedies, being toxic, poison the body further, and the organism responds by
attempting to eliminate or counteract the remedy preferentially, simultaneously
withdrawing energy from the natural cleansing process that had been erroneously
misinterpreted as a "disease". Thus, the original symptoms are suppressed and the
illusion of a "cure" is complete!  Not only has the original cause of the symptom(s),
bodily toxicity, not been removed, but the "treatment" process of modern medicine
adds yet more highly toxic material to the body; this process, repeated frequently
during one's lifetime, obviously lays the foundation for far more serious problems in
the future.  Thus, modern pharmaceutical medicine may be seen as the most outrageous,
deadly, and profitable hoax ever perpetrated on the public.

     The most important concept to understand is that the manifestation of all
symptoms or "diseases" is a logically correct process initiated by the genetic wisdom
of the body to purify itself of toxins that are accumulated and stored in the
cellular structure, the source of 99+% of which is a faulty diet, i.e., one unsuited
to the particular unique digestive biochemistry and nutritional needs of our
species.

     The habitual, profit oriented, culturally-conditioned process of poisoning
one's body when it tries to eliminate toxins merely suppresses the natural
detoxification process, forces further accumulation of stored toxic material, and
leads to more energetic attempts at self-cleansing in the future.  Such further
attempts are repeatedly blocked, in the name of "healing", and a vicious cycle is
created which ultimately results in degeneration and, finally, death.  Thus, we are
sold the illusion that all those little annoying illnesses have been successfully
"treated" or "cured", until the body is so toxic and debilitated that multiple
"degenerative diseases" set in and the ultimate uncurable disease, premature death,
results.  Ironically, the "degenerative diseases" are claimed to be uncurable by the
same medical system which has, in fact, caused them by "curing" minor diseases.
The medical industry freely admits that the "degenerative diseases", the causes of the
overwhelming majority of deaths, are the direct and only result of one's lifestyle
(deathstyle?), yet no research is done to determine an optimally healthy human diet
and/or lifestyle.  Why not?? Nothing but the most trivial information on diet comes
from the medical establishment. Why??  Obviously, drugs and medical technology are
patentable and therefore enormously profitable to the Medical Industrial Complex;
accurate information on health is neither! "Disease" is profitable: health is free!
"Disease" is Big Business and good for the economy and the rich!

    The individual who becomes healthy by his/her own efforts is a direct threat to
the current economic system!

     The following analysis of the correct dynamic of "colds/flus" will give the
readers information which, if applied in their lives, will result in total, permanent
freedom from any "colds/flus", in addition to freedom from all other symptoms and
illness, for the rest of their lives.  Many other "diseases", such as expulsive
"allergies", sinusitis, excessive weight, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and
skin problems, will easily be eliminated. The best that Carroll offers with his "Stop
a Cold" gambit is a reduction of the "normal" lengths of convalescence by about one
half.  The present author has had absolutely no "colds/flus" since adopting the
system herein described in 1971, and knows of countless others who have had similar
complete success.  While eating a conventional American diet for 29 years, the
present author had several "colds/flus" throughout the year, like everyone else; and
therefore thought he was "healthy", like everyone else.  However, a person trapped in
a cultural lifestyle has absolutely no idea what health is until adopting an
experimental/experiential lifestyle with the purpose of exploring the limits of human
health, potential, and consciousness.

     Perfect health is easily within the reach of those sincere enough to try some
self-experimentation.  Certainly, the various medical and healing systems have been
using you for an unwitting subject for their experiments for years, as has the food
processing industry and polluting industries; why not become responsible for your own
lifestyle/experiment?

     Carroll's theory that the "body reacts by forming mucus to rinse away the
invader" (i.e., the bad germs) is completely erroneous on two counts: 1> excess mucus
is formed in the body only by eating mucus forming foods, and 2> those "invaders"
are probably within our bodies at all times.  Perhaps, they are not "bad germs" like
we have been told, but rather their purpose is to periodically break up deposits of
mucus and toxins that result from ignorance of our natural diet.  Microorganisms must
eat, so the easiest way to control their population is by starvation.  Do not feed
them and they will not proliferate.  Certainly, if one is somewhat healthy, one's
immunological system should be able to easily handle any such "invasion", if such
could occur.  However, since one seems not to be able to become immune to
"colds/flus", there must be some explanation other than the germ theory.  How does
the flying germ theory and/or immunological theory explain the fact that habitual
cold catchers no longer "catch colds" after the simple dietary changes stated herein,
in spite of the fact that they continue to be exposed to subfreezing winters, crowded
public transportation vehicles, and the coughs and sneezes of other victims of the
mysterious "cold/flu" syndrome? And how do those theories explain the fact that if
one returns to a mucus forming diet those periodic discharges of mucus reoccur?  The
germ theory and immunological theory obviously cannot successfully integrate these
facts, which are readily testable by anyone, so these theories must be severely
flawed and should be modified to incorporate these facts, or preferably be discarded
altogether.  In the annals of science, theories must be modified to explain new
facts as they are discovered.  "Medical science" solves this problem by ignoring
these facts and refusing to research optimum human health in general.

     The so-called "foods" (actually commercial stomach commodities, not true foods
for this species as required by our genetic programming) that cause large quantities
of excess mucus to be produced and stored in one's body are: 1> all dairy products 2>
all animal corpses (mammal, bird, fish, ...) 3> eggs (bird menses) 4> any source of
concentrated (i.e. more than 5%) protein [nuts, seeds, "seed cheese", beans, peas,
tofu, miso, pollen, spirulina] 5> any source of concentrated starch [grains, roots,
squash, commercial bananas] 6> all cooked food

     A little rational analysis of the symptoms and bodily signals produced by
"colds/flus" will give a powerful insight into, and understanding of, the natural
healing process that is currently misinterpreted as a "disease" by orthodox dogma.
The facts that the medical industry has researched the "common cold" for some 200
years, has spent countless millions to produce no practical results whatsoever other
than the income of some $5,000,000,000/yr by chemical and drug companies, and yet
that this mysterious disease costs the economy some $1.6 trillion/yr, wastes
10,000,000 work days/yr and 20,000,000 school days/yrS04T point out the complete
lack of understanding of human health by conventional scientific wisdom.  What are
these symptoms?

     1>  Lack of energy.  This occurs because the body is shifting its energy from
external social activities to internal processes of detoxification and repair.  The
intelligent person will respond by withdrawing from the social milieu and resting to
effect the most efficient and rapid healing, as the body suggests.  But the
pharmaceutical industry wants you to take their drugs so you can continue to
participate in the debilitating social games uninterrupted by concerns of your own
present or future health.

     2>  Headache or muscle pains are caused by toxins, located mostly in the lower
colon, with some distribution throughout the entire body.  Most headaches can be
eliminated rather quickly with warm, plain water enemas, which remove the toxins from
the colon, and warm baths, which relax the muscles and increase circulation, thus
accelerating tissue detoxification.  Orthodoxy wants you to take pain killers,
additional poisons, to ignore the body's most efficient way of communicating with us.
The purpose of pain is to call our attention to the fact that we are doing
something that is damaging the body and to trigger healing mechanisms.  The
intelligent person will welcome pain signals as guidance from a much deeper wisdom
than the cultural ego, and take steps to eliminate the CAUSE(S) of the pain, NOT the
pain itself.  Pain is a limiting device for the sake of behavior: it will
(eventually) force us to do what we should have been doing, but were too ignorant.
Once we discover the cause of the pain and eliminate it (the cause), there is no
longer a need for that particular pain.  This insight into the true nature and
purpose of pain applies to all domains, as does all truth: physical, emotional,
intellectual, and spiritual.  The practical application of this insight will lead one
to a pain-free life, which is our birthright, yet rarely experienced due to mindless
conformity with cultural practices.

     3>  Fever.  The increased temperature, and the accompanying intensification of
perspiration, is an indication that the body is increasing its metabolic rate to
accelerate its healing and cleansing processes.   Since the speed of chemical
reactions doubles with an increase of 18FS0oT, and a body temperature of 104S0oTF
represents a rise of about 5FS0oT above normal, this will speed bodily chemistry by
about 55%; a serious effort by the body to deal with the situation.  Orthodoxy
mistakenly suggests that we interfere with this natural healing effort with more
poisonous drugs that disrupt our natural biochemistry in order to reduce the
"temperature".  Interestingly, the body temperature of a person stabilized on a
nontoxic raw diet will be about 1FS0oT less than when eating a normal cultural diet,
thus indicating that a raw diet is much less stressful than other diets.

     4>  The classic "runny nose" is one of the body's main channels of elimination
for large amounts of stored toxins and excess mucus.  Block such elimination with
toxic "decongestant" drugs we are told.  Is it not obvious that the body is trying to
get rid of that material?

     5>  Sneezing and coughing are processes whereby deposits of mucus and toxins
are loosened from the sinuses, trachea, bronchial tubes, and lungs in preparation for
expulsion. Orthodoxy blocks these processes with toxic chemicals.

     6>  Lack of appetite.  Since the CAUSE of our current misery is eating a
cultural diet and its poisons, the body cries out for relief from continued
poisoning, but "NO!", we are told, we "must continue to eat to keep up our strength"
by eating even if not hungry. Again, the body's signals and requirements are ignored
in favor of erroneous folk wisdom.

     7>  Vomiting is the direct result of eating when the body does not want more
toxic food, i.e., "eating to keep up one's strength", or an attempt to eliminate
previously eaten toxic material which has remained in the stomach.  Nothing but pure,
distilled or deionized water should be consumed until the appetite returns, and then,
diluted fruit juices can ease the transition to solid food.

     8>  Diarrhea is unmistakably a natural process of expelling noxious material
from the body, but even this is interfered with and "cured" by medical poisoning.

     Thus, we can see that ALL attempts of the body to cleanse and heal itself are
interfered with or blocked by "treatments", either by the orthodox medical system
which happens to be in current vogue or silly, but usually far less damaging, folk
remedies.  The grandiose arrogance and abysmal ignorance of those who interfere with
natural healing processes, which were developed by billions of years of successful
genetic evolution, by cultural rituals of poisoning the body with "treatments" that
have absolutely NO demonstrated success, is clearly apparent with a modicum of
rational thought.

     In spite of the countless billions of dollars spent by "medical science" on
useless research, and countless billions more spent by the unwitting public on false
"cures", it is not one inch closer to a solution than it was at the outset since they
are not looking for the true CAUSE, which is sitting in plain view on their forks.

     The word "natural" has been prostituted so much as an advertising gimmick in
the last couple of decades that we now frequently hear of "natural" beer, potato
chips, shampoo, tooth paste, ice cream, medicines, and even the ultimately absurd
contradiction: "natural cooking".  None of these exist in Nature or are the slightest
bit natural.

     There are some 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 species of life on this planet and none
of them set their food on fire before they eat it: obviously, cooking is not natural.
Only humans eat fired foods and only humans manifest multiple, rampant "diseases".
