www.biochemimbal-behavior.com www.medicimusic.com SEE IMPORTANT LINKS PAGE ALWAYS ATTEMPT TO RAISE THE POTENTIALITY OF THE LIFE PROCESS.- IT IS YOUR DHARMA RESPONSIBILTY FOR THE NEXT ENERGIES' KARMA-To understand Violence and Anger one must ask of oneself why this person who is violent wishes to hurt you. If anything can be done to aid the violent person not to do his violence then it should be done. The Iraq War has caused much pain on all sides,great monies spent and lasting pains for the future. And those that cause this still do not understand Why someone would want to hurt them. Total stupidity
BAN AMMONIUM-NO BOMBS,NO METH-GOOD FOOD
This book is dedicated to all those who suffer from the biochemical imbalances.

Would it be nice to have a world without crime and violence?
All tribes that Dr. Weston Price surveyed in the early 1930's had wonderful teeth,a social order that needed no police states, no crime or violence and certainly no jails or prisons. These tribes were from all over the globe and represent biochemical balance- once thought of as utopia but it was real and it did exist. Dr Price had great hardships in travelling to these somewhat remote tribes in the 1930's. He has documented all his research. Carl Menninger also advocated in the early 1930's that there should not be jails and prisons but give biochemical balance .Contact the Price-Pottenger Foundation.

You must search the various catagories of indexes- there are many, many topics- This is an incredible site started by a man who has a child with difficulties. This site offers the latest in scientific proof that behavior is biochemically initiated.

Also an important aside
- over 33,000 children worldwide( World Health Org- UN) die each day because of bad water and we are trying to help one individual who has emotional dilemas.The ( World Health Org- UN) 11/22/05 states that 6 million children die per year from malnutrition. That is 16,400 per day or 11 per minute or a city with a population of 115,000 gone in one week. It doesn't seem fair.The human body contains over 55% water. We spend 1 billion dollars per one week of war in Iraq and one billion would almost cover all the present water needs of these 33,000 children.One billion dollars equals 231,000 deaths. That is a city the size of Louisville ,Kentucky wiped off the face of the earth each week. In Dishinger vernacular- where the hell are our prorities? Again it doesn't seem fair. We as a race are so arrogant and power hungry. Love and compassion doesn't even enter the picture. People have been misguided since the beginning of time but there should be hope that perhaps one day love for all living creatures will have less and less pain. We think we are so special. Perhaps the child who is dieing today from bad water didn't even have the thought he or she was special. It doesn't seem fair.

Sermon #2
At present there are 1.2 million street schizophrenics in the U.S. and millions more worldwide who no one seems to give a damn about. Yes it is difficult to help and many have left whatever web of support they once had from family or friends but it is a disgrace and very immoral to treat anyone, human,animal or plant in this manner. Thank you Reagan and the bureaucrats that allowed this some 20 years ago. We didn't have many answers to help then but we have no answers now. Many of the people who read my web are very worried that their loved one may become one of these future street people. So I am preaching to the wrong audience but just wanted you to be aware of this horrible number. One is too many- 1.2 million is totally crazy .
Sermon # 3 Some three years ago my son and I drove some 1800 miles to film four doctors who contributed their time free for a four hour film session.They were Drs. Hugh Riordan,Wm. Shaw,Wm. Philpott and Donald Davis. This film project was to be part of a 36 hour series to be given away free worldwide to any public television station or health organization. The series was to be divided into orthomolecular,tibetan,ayurvedic and chinese with doctors of outstanding lifetime contributions to the life process. The series of the four doctors has been edited finally but I have given up my hope of ever completing the remainder of the project. The reason- I spent hours on the telephone,192 emails after emails and only three stations would even think of doing a broadcast. The phrase which I had never heard was that no one would watch 12 hours of "talking heads". It had to have action and dramatized in a fashion so that it was mostly entertainment with slipping in the knowledge. And all information in the film would have to be compared to present medical journal research on the same topics prior to broadcast. Impossible because the journals with a few exceptions don't even have this kind of research to compare it to.I be damned if I do it that way. I give it away to any individual who wants them but all this valuable information plus all that information we would have gotten from the others is not fulfilling its purpose. People like Rapgay,Hoffer,Lad,Rimland, and so many others are not even on the films . So I too am very disappointed in the stupidity of people. It just doesn't seem fair for all of those that have no idea that I like so many others who have spent their lifetimes trying to help others have only gotten minimal results.
A QUICK GUIDE IF YOU WISH TO SEE IF YOU ARE HAVING SO-CALLED MENTAL DIFFICULTIES. I say "so-called mental difficulties" because there is no such a thing. All thought disordered problems are caused by physiological origins. For example, many scientists and doctors concentrate on seretonin,one of the 50 neuro-transmitters found especially in the frontal lobe areas of the brain. However 60% of all the organism's seretonin is in the gut or bowel. All emotional problems originate in the area from the navel to the anus. The liver,speen and bowel are the most important areas for the thought process in the brain which is farther away and all the blood which carries all the needed seretonin is carried there from other areas of the body. The establishment of organ systems as ways to explain things is not only faulty but wrong and many people suffer because they are looking in the wrong place.
We are in fact the same as a tree or fish in that we need nature's nutrients to grow. The brain is an added feature of the human organism but gets us into great difficulties because we do not realize that we need the proper ingredients to grow. For example we need calcium and magnesium but so does the tomato plant or fish. We may need different proportions of this or that nutrient. The calcium-magnesium ratio for humans as of now is 2.5 to 1- That is 2.5 parts calcium to 1 part magnesium so that the cell walls have elasticity and can bring in nutrients and release toxins. Any altering of this ratio sets up other problems. The ratio for tomato plants is 7.5 to 1. We are the same but need different ratios.
We have a certified organic farm and a number of years ago we planted heirloom seeds into seed pots and put all the proper nutrients in. When the seedlings were ready to put into the ground they were almost 18 inches tall and very healthy. After six weks in the ground they were 6 inches tall and in another 6 weeks they were dead. The soil and nutrients we had in the seed pots was fine but the soil we finally planted them in was horrible and they died. We learned a great lesson. There is no such a thing as normal and abnormal in behavior.There is no such a thing as sanity or insanity. There is however, a very important thing called "function". Some people function within themselves only,others wih family only and yet others only function in their job or workplace and some function within our larger environment. Some peole think that they function with themselves, their family, and workplace and yet will drive their car out of their lane in order to hit a rabbit that crosses the road. There are four levels of function- all must be there for a fully biochemically balanced individual. The problems associated with one's self are directly related to associations with family,job or the outer world.We all have different (but not better) levels of awareness. To have function does not mean you like your neighbor who lives next door to you on the right side and yet hate the the neighbor who lives on the left side of you. That is not function- that is manipulation and shows biochemical imbalance.
Biochemical imbalances are associated with perception,depression,and paranoid thoughts. If any of the five senses-(taste,touch,smell,visual or hearing-) are disturbed then perception of reality is altered. This is perception as the person sees it. BIOCHEMCIAL BALANCE CHANGES PERCEPTIONS. Most people think they know about those that hear or see things which we call hallucinations especially about those with hearing or visual difficulties. However many that have thought-disorders are overlooked.
We all as humans seem to refuse nature and what it shows,demostrates and teaches us. Our brain got in the way. You can take the HOD (Hoffer-Osmond Diagnostic) test and in less than 30 minutes you can have much knowledge as to your own biochemical status in terms of thought process. This is a simple true and false card game type of test putting cards in one box or the other and then the results are tabulated. But there is also another feature which is very important. What if you are having thought-disorder difficutlties and what do you do. Find an orthomolecular doctor that knows what he or she is doing and you will find that many of them know what the true and false statements mean and what will aid you so that you have less and less thought-disordered problems and finally none at all.Simply by taking the HOD test a few weeks later after the nutrients have been started you will find many changes in the same card game. All for the better. Show great love and compassion for others but you must have the correct knowledge to aid others to bring them to their greatest potential in their life process.
All the talk therapy such as with a psychologist,doctor,priest pastor, rabbi,father,mother,friend in fact sets up new bad cells that have to be replaced by more new cells.Stay in the"here and now". Let the past go so that the cells can be replaced with new good cells which takes time. Do not get into the future since many anxieties are created with still bad cells from before that have not been yet replaced by good cells and thus you are re-establishing the bad cells.
Many people are helped a great deal in from 1 to 12 days even though others it may take years because of our biochemical individuality. The HOD test will show the differences even in a couple of weeks after the nutrients have been taken. You cannot have a good thought without a good molecule and you can not have a bad thought without a bad molecule.
We are all imbalanced to some degree and we may lack "purpose and intent" to life but it is a certainly that those who have major imbalances will not have the option of seeking "purpose and intent" to life.
It is not about money. It is about trying to help someone who has a dilema in behavior and function. Since I put the www.biochemimbal-behavior.com web up in 1998 I have tried to help literally thousands of people and advised them of what they could do and what doctors to get to, and given away over 1800 books that I wrote free,plus have had approximately 178 calls from doctors from as far apart as Amman,Jordan to Singapore.
The complete HOD test has 145 questions. Here are a few sample questions 1) I am constantly keyed up and jittery 2) I don't like meeting people-you can't trust anyone now 3) My thinking gets all mixed up when I have to act quickly 4) very often friends irritate me 5) Not sure who I am.(Used by permission) -To purchase the HOD Test: Behavior Science Press,

ALL THE KNOWLEDGE AND TESTING IN THE WORLD ARE MEANINGLESS UNLESS YOU GET THE NUTRIENTS INTO THE PERSON WITH THE DILEMA AND WAIT UNTIL THE NUTRIENTS WORK- YOU CAN PRAY,MEDITATE,PUSH OR SHOVE BUT THE NUTRIENTS TAKE TIME TO WORK- IT TOOK SOMETIME TO GET INTO THIS DILEMA AND IT WILL TAKE TIME TO CORRECT OR CHANGE THE DILEMA-
THREE QUESTIONS MUST BE ANSWERED-1)WHAT NUTRIENT OR NUTRIENTS DO THEY NEED,2)HOW MUCH DO THEY NEED AND 3) FOR HOW LONG
TESTS TO DO AND NUTRIENTS TO TAKE-- DO ALL THESE TESTS- DO NOT DO A PARTIAL LIST ONLY
1)Get a histamine test to see if the person is
either
high (histadelic) or low (histapenic). Histamines act
as a neuro-transmitter and very much effect
outcomes
of behavior. This is very important in term of
nutrients to give. High histamine people should get
the follwowing: daily doses divided after food -non-flush niacin (buffered with insoitol) 1500mg (not niacinamide which may cause depression) (no time relased niacin)(work up to 1500mg over period of week)+ niacin foods-Liver, lean meat, poultry, fish, rabbit, nuts, peanut yeast, meats including liver, cereals, legumes, asparagus, seeds, milk, green leafy vegetables, and fish

yogurt,betaine1500mg
vitamin C start at 3000mg then add 1000mg per day
until diarhhea then back off to previous day's
dose,
then wait one day wih previous day's dose then try
adding 1000mg again- get to 20,000mg
eventually-this
may take 2 or 3 weeks.vitamin C foods- citrus fruits,

,folic
acid,

XXXXlimit
vitamin b5
panthothenic
acid
LOW HISTAMINES (histapenic) people take all same as high histamines but without methionine,calcium, and add higher level of non-flush niacin (buffered with inositol) 1500mg (work up to 1500mg over period of week) (not niaciamide which may cause depression)(no time relased niacin) + niacin foods-Liver, lean meat, poultry, fish, rabbit, nuts, peanut yeast, meats including liver, cereals, legumes, asparagus, seeds, milk, green leafy vegetables, and fish +foods-
red meats,
poultry,
fish,
bread, and folic acid 1200mcg,rutin 500mg,vitamin b12,1200mcg.-- --- Both types of histamine people should also take a B-complex vitamin daily since other single B vitamins may make an imbalance.--Detoxing liver every fourth day for three times,then same three months later.
mexican yam-2capsules,
tumeric 2capsules,
grapeseed 2capsules,
goldenrod 2capsules,
quercetin 2capsules+foods
apples,
onions,
berries,
cauliflower,
nuts,
seeds,
sylimarin(milk thistle or nettles) 2capsules
3)pyrroles test which is
depetion of vit b6 and zinc 4) heavy metals tests
including copper and copper-zinc ratio tests 5)get
organic acids test(amino acid breakdowns tests)-All food,air,liquids have to break down fron larger protein molecules to smaller units called amino acids(22 amino acids)before the cells can utilize the larger protein. This test has only become available in a faster method with computers etc in the last 10 years.Before that time it would take literally all day to do a visual check and cross check of amino acids in paper form laid out on the floor in a large room. This is a must to do test.
6)blood food allergies tests This test is very important-- you may find that the person with the dilemas or disease does not have either a histamine problem or pyrroluria problems or heavy metals problems but may have food allergies that act as brain allergies that will give the person the exact same lack of function as if they did have a histamine problem or have problems from pyrrolues or heavy metals. Many times there is a multi-plex or combination of histamine problems,pyrroulia and brain allergies. It is more rare to have only one problem than many complications. 7) Heavy metals test for lead,cadmium,copper-zinc ratio test---you can pull my web up: www.biochemimbal-behavior.com and go to important links: www.greatplainslaboratory.com. for Dr.William Shaw -- you can call Dr.William Shaw or email him. He will help interpret the results to your doctor or you.Take all in capsule form as much as possible after meals in three divided doses. All capsules should be free of common allergens including: sugar, starch, dairy products, soy, wheat, corn, yeast, gluten, gliadin, MSG, artificial sweeteners and colors. Do all retesting every 4-6 months- This is very important because you will have more information to alter any nutrients or foods. By all means check out the various reprint articles of the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine at www.orthomed.com
Specific Tests To Do.Dr. William Shaw tests (See also New Information page)Tests to do: CoEnzyme Q 10,Cortisol-post cortisol IM,Cortisol PM-baseline,

The final question- WHAT IS OUR PURPOSE AND INTENT TO LIFE WITH HEALTH?? Each of us has a different level of awareness. Whether you call it a supreme force,God,Allah or whatever you call your God it will be represented in you by love and compassion. Then you will have the supreme force within you. That may be my delusion but to me it is real. Many attempt to manipulate love and compassion as a control-ego issue and thus are denying themselves their inner supreme being. "To be human" is to demonstrate love and compassion in the potentialty of all life processes."FEAR" (real or perceived) denies vulnerability which denies intimacy which denies love and compassion-our humanness. Do as Mother Theresa said" do no great things but do small things always with great love"

Another way to look at things
also since i last talked with you over 2 years ago i have done a great deal of research into tibetan and indian medicine-only 12 book translated to this point in english of tibetan medicine but a few that may blow your mind as they did mine are tibetan buddhist medicine and psychiatry by terry clifford isbn 0 877287104,,,, the quintessence trantras of tibetan medicine barry clark isbn1559390093,,,,health through balance by yeshi donden isbn 0937938254...the dharma by kalu rinpoche isbn 0887061575.. and 3 books by mayo and tyl- mayo worked with horribin off and on. don't be confused about the titles- astrology a key to personality mayo isbn0140194894... mayo the planets and human behavior sbn not isbn sbn852432682 and tyl astrological timing of critical illnesses isbn 1567187382..... i wonder if orthomolecular doctors will ever admit that there are many more things than fluids-since all ortho med is based on fluid manipulation and they totally forget or assume that the electrical cellular components function because of their biochemical vitamins only.... that is very foolhearty..

“WHY IT IS DIFFICULT TO HELP”
What I try to cover in many telephone calls from others- it usually take 1 hour for this monologue-type conversation. paper and pencil- facts and based on scientific studies.
1)human same as tree or fish-all need nutrients to function.
2)we are a tube- incoming and outgoing of energy -bowel transcient time.changes of states of energy from an ice cube to water to mist to ether
3)human works on fluids(biochemical ),electrical (energy flow) and thought processes which are a combination of the biochemical and energy flow.
4) omega 3 and the evolution of the brain in humans- the Riff valley-animals wanting omega 3-
5) evoultion of grains 12,000 years ago in Iraq,Iran,Egypt etc and to Ireland in last 3000 years- highest rate of cecliac disease and schizophrenia in the world -- why.
6) viruses,(mononeucleosis-Epstein-Barr),bacteria,fungi,parasites and allergic reactions and antigens and brain function.
7) Depression-our wonderful clue to imbalance
8) Testing and the importance- where to get done- which tests to do- and then what has to be done . Tibetans in the year 704 and emotional diseases and biochemical medicine then.
9) PH base levels-acidity and all diseases
10) do not rely on the best of doctors only-you must get the nutrients into the person with the dilema and wait until the cells are rebuilt and this takes time- from four days to a life time for the nutrients to work.
11) air,liquid and food and how they breakdown into amino acids so the cells can use them.
12) perception- it is the only one they have -your reaction to their perception-love and compassion for something you don’t understand.
13) THE THREE MAIN QUESTIONS- YOU DON’T KNOW WHICH NUTRIENTS,WHAT DOSAGE AND FOR HOW LONG THEY NEED THEM. ONCE ALL THREE QUESTIONS ARE SUCESFULLY ANSWERS THERE IS HEALTH AND AWARENESS AT A DIFFERENT LEVEL THAN BEFORE.All the testing in the world is meaningless unless you get the correct nutrients into the one with the dilema.
14) 126 medical schools in North America and the lack of nutritional support in classes they take. Doctors and their lack of knowledge about cells and nutrition. doctor attitudes.
15) hereditary connections and separate energy fields. Tibetan-from time of ovum and sperm connecting we have degenerative disease- what we do about it
16) theraputic mode not preventative mode and both together.
17)Many sources of problems.
18) 4 different ways for the human to function- within oneself,the family,workplace or profession and the larger outer world- all must be there for total biochemical balance.
19) potentiality-why this is one your plate spiritually- what to learn spiritually about yourself.
20) why many people fail to get their loved one with the dilema to a higher level of awareness- 1)the caregiver lacks the correct knowledge and wants a quick fix, 2)caregiver will not spent the time,money and energy to find knowledge that may help, 3)caregiver has different set of biochemical imbalance issues that affect the one with the dilema,4)caregiver is fearful of any and everything that may help,5)caregiver is wrapped up in external-materialistic world,6)caregiver only sees their own reality and thus no one else’s reality can be normal,7) caregiver lives in the past or future for the one with the dilema-stay in the here and now and share whatever the one with the dilema can share. 8) arrogance and ego 9) Pateint's doctor has done testing but fails to follow through with his recommnedations or give any recommnedations 10) Many if not all doctors have never lived 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with someone who has a psychotic break and even if they see a psychotic break it is usually in a hospital setting and they immediatley give an anti-psychotic drug and that is it. So they have no invested deep compassion into the difficuties of your loved one. So you take a wowping 1000mg a day of vitamin C- It will not do much good. --In every species except the human and four animal species the liver makes enzymes that equals 15,000mg of vitamin C equivalent to their weight every day and more during stress. Humans do not have that enzyme.
This letter is about oral vitamin C
The 1982 Letter from Irwin Stone to Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (Discover of Vitamin C in the 1920’s)
(Although Dr. Fred Klenner first speculated (1971) that 100 to 300 grams per day of intravenous Vitamin C for up to 3 months could cure cancer, the first actual use (1979) of such heroic amounts of C is described in this letter.)
(Note: Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi won the 1937 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery of Vitamin C.)

Dear Albert,
It is over a year since I last wrote you. Now, after 7 more published papers on the genetics of scurvy, I want to bring you up to date.
Enclosed is a transcript of my latest paper, presented 26 June 1982, "Scurvy, the Most Misunderstood Epidemic Disease in 20th Century Medicine", Reprint No.120-T, which I thought would interest you because of its implications in cancer research.
Because of the poor and inadequate full correction of the human defective gene for GLO (too little daily ascorbate intake), every cancer victim was born scorbutic, after a 9-month intrauterine bout with scurvy. This poor correction, due to grossly inadequate maternal daily intakes of ascorbate, continues throughout the lifetime of the victims, exposing them constantly to the deleterious physiological insults of Chronic Subclinical Scurvy (the CSS Syndrome). This is a large factor in the genesis of the cancer. Every cancer victim being treated by orthodox oncologists suffers also from a bad case of the CSS Syndrome. When the orthodox cut, burn, and poison techniques prove too much, the cancer victims do not die solely from the cancer lesion, but are pushed into their grave by the exacerbated uncorrected scurvy that is always present. We and other workers in this field haven't really realized the enormous size of daily dosage of ascorbate required for therapy and survival in cancer.
I would like to tell you of an unusual cancer case history that I believe could act as a prototype for future cancer therapy and survival. A 44 year old chemist and patent attorney, a friend of mine, Joe Kieninger, in May 1973, was diagnosed as having prostatic cancer and received the usual high risk surgery and radiation therapy. In November 1977 a bone scan indicated the cancer had metastasized to the pelvic bone. At that time he was declared "terminal" with about 1 year to live. In January 1978, he started taking laetrile and 2 grams of ascorbic acid a day. After 10 months the cancer was still growing slowly and he modified his therapy to ascorbate orally at 24 grams per day. The cancer continued to grow and a new pelvic tumor was found as well as a tumor in the lung. In May 1979 he increased his ascorbate intake to 80 grams per day and at this level there was no cancer growth for the next 6 months. During the past 2½ years he had the cancer under control and it grew only when his ascorbate intakes were less than 80 grams a day, or he went off his diet (no beef, candy, etc.) but stayed at 80 grams a day. During this time one pelvic tumor and rib cage tumor regressed. His primary pelvic bone tumor has not grown for 16 months and several times his lung tumors have not grown for 3 month periods. Since he began taking 80 grams a day in 1979, his well-being has been excellent. He says he feels great most of the time, has also been able to continue working every day and lives a fairly normal life of the years since November 1978 when orthodox medicine said he would be dead. Visually he looks more like an athlete than a terminal cancer patient. Recently he has been feeling poorly because of some unusual excessive stresses. His wife broke her ankle and he had to take care of her and his home in addition to work and also underwent surgery. In the last few weeks he has been able to improve his well-being by increasing his ascorbate intake to 130 to 150 grams per day!! He has been taking oral doses every hour of 5 to 10 grams of a mixture of nine parts sodium ascorbate plus one part ascorbic acid dissolved in water. These doses are well tolerated and within "bowel tolerance" and he has had no trouble from diarrhea except just lately when he had to reduce the 150 grams a day to 130 grams.
I believe Joe's case is a classic and a good demonstration that if sufficient ascorbate is given to fully conteract all the incident stresses, then the cancer can be controlled. If given early enough in this disease, then cancer may no longer be a problem. Up to now we just haven't realized how big these daily controlling doses have to be.
Joe occasionally goes over to see Dr. Barry Saltzman of our local Holistic Medical Group for a booster IV shot of sodium ascorbate. Dr. Saltzman ran some ascorbate determinations on Joe's blood and came up with the highest blood levels I ever saw. At one point it was 35 mg%!! Our so-called "normal" but scorbutic population averages 1 mg% or less, our kidney threshold is 1.4 mg%.
Last year Joe also went to see Dr. Ewan Cameron of Scotland when he was visiting at the Linus Pauling Institute in Palo Alto, California. Dr. Cameron was astounded at his 35 mg% blood values. In the published Cameron and Pauling cancer work, they only used a maximum dose of 20 grams of ascorbate a day.
I would like to see a crash ascorbate program started on terminal cancer patients using doses in the ranges found by Joe Keininger to keep his cancer under control. Since these "terminals" have been abandoned by orthodox medicine, they have nothing to lose but their ill health. If we could add years of survival and fairly normal living as Joe did, then it might be an incentive for orthodox oncologists to properly use ascorbate in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Maybe your NFCR could start the ball rolling on this terminal cancer salvage program.
Proper funding for work of this type is always a problem and your Foundation probably needs funds just as mine and Linus Pauling's does. To help the Linus Pauling Institute with its fund raising drives, I've agreed to autograph copies of my book, THE HEALING FACTOR, "VITAMIN C" AGAINST DISEASE, to be given to any donor contributing $100. or more. I would be happy to make available to NFCR, reprints of my scientific papers for this purpose such as the enclosed Reprint No.120-T on "Scurvy" or Reprint No.85, "The Genetics of Scurvy and The Cancer Problem", or any other of about 50 reprints listed in the enclosed list, if you want to use them in your NFCR Research Review. Please let me know how I can help.
I'm sorry this letter became so long. With kind regards and best wishes,
Sincerely yours
(signed) Irwin

21st Century readers: mg% = milligrams (of vitamin C)
in 100 grams of water or other liquid = parts per 100,000. Cell Memory-No Talk Therapy-No Talk to Anyone Even though we replace each cell in the human approximatley every 6 years (some earlier ,some later because of biochemical individuality and stress) the memory of those past cells is always with us. A simple example would be to think of an event or thought you had when you were say 5 years old. The cells for those memories have been replaced by new cells maybe two or three times or more, yet we remember the thought. It may be a so-called good thought or bad thought. If this bad thought as intepreted by the body then we have a second layer of stress simply by remembering the first time the thought happened. By talking about past dilemas we re-estabish a new set of cells that have to be replaced by new good cells. The more we talk the more cells we have to replace with good cells. It may be human conditioning that has caused us to want to talk about our problems but our minds have gotten in the way of how the organism grows or doesn’t grow. We are the same as a tree or fish in our need for nutrients to grow. A tree we think does not have a mind or thinking part. It simply needs the correct nutrients to grow. What you do to help. If someone is trying to express verbally their pain then simply listen and offer no or very little advise. If you wait even a short time or day that person with the dilema will have moved from what they were previously talking about because they may wish to stay in the “here and now”. Trauma events are a good example of this. Many people will not talk about a very traumatic event that has happened to them for years and even when they do they are replacing the original set of harmful cells with new harmful cells which have to be replaced with new good cells. Every action has a reaction. Nothing can happen without something else happening. What you do. Simply give them the nutrients and wait until the new cells are replaced. This takes time and there are many individual differences of how the individual with the dilema changes but basically you are waiting for the tree that has been in a big wind storm regain its health. As time goes on our culture will have to alter almost all its views about growth in the human and changing talk therapy will probaly be one of the last to change. It is sad and many will again suffer the ignorance of our culture when so many with dilemas simply want to grow as the tree or fish grows. HOFFER BOOKS

From ronald c. dishinger – my webs are www.biochemimbal-behavior.com and medicimusic.com FEEDING THE WORLD’S PEOPLES- CHANGING A PARADIGM OR RETURNING TO A PARADIGM OF EONS AGO. First the spritual leaders of the world- regardless of doctrinal beliefs- have basically failed to acknowledge the most basic elements of survival for living creatures whether they are plants, animals or humans.
There are many prophecies mentioned in many religious texts of many religions that state that in this time spiritual leaders will become servants to their own ego and what religion can do for them personally or their flock. Religion of today is a commodity selling whatever it takes to get the results it wishes rather than obeying the laws and principles of the original laws and principles that do not have ego as the main ingredient in spirtual guidance. Even if ego were not there spirtual leaders must agree in all religions on the basis of all life processes.
What is the basis of human life first? First there must be nutrients or nourishment of the fetus by way of the female as the human is forming. As the fetus is developing within the woman all the mother’s thoughts,deeds, and food,water, etc. are giving this nourishment. If she has confused thoughts, trauma, or other negative energy the fetus will have that as well. Finally by a myriad of things that are from past life’s energies and the life energies of the mother the child is born. We have forgotten a very important principle of religion. If we are created in the eyes of God of any religion we are made in his image.
So we are creating our own God to replace the Real God that has always been there in His true image- full of pure energy not a distorted energy.( The writer uses the word God meaning any form of higher energy or belief system that we are not). Finally through all this maze of energies the child is born. Females are given breasts for this reason to nourish the offspring once it is born. What is in this wonderful mother’s milk that sustains life. Many things, but certainly a special kind of energy for her offspring. We as humans now were given instructions many billions of years ago as to how to obey the laws of nature of human kind but play our own God roles as what we think it means rather than staying focused on what the Real God said was necessary for human growth. So unfornuately we have as many Gods now as there people on the planet at this time.
Religious freedom, I think not. It is complete chaos and confusion and we all are doomed in some form to fail because we have changed the original principles of all religions to fit our own temporal needs. All religions have told us to share what we can with those that do not have enough to sustain life. This principle is called respect for the life process- a single guiding principle of all religions. This single principle has always been the first to be discarded in any civilization but it is without question the true focus of the principle of life energy.
First, so-called spiritual leaders do not focus on this principle. Governments do not focus on this principle. Societies do not focus on this principle. Any very rarely do individuals focus on this principle. Even if some individuals focus on this principles they are overwhelmed by all those that do not focus on this sharing principle and the individual in many cases gives up his or her focus as well. Individuals have very little say in the equation of sharing, Societies a little more say. Governments have more say in the equation. And yet so-called spiritual leaders do not even focus of the principle of sharing even though they have the most critical part of the human experience in their hands.
One might ask the question that this is not the first principle of all religious beliefs. Then one must ask- what is the first principle if not this one. One can only pray or do mantras after a human has died. Yes. But one can not say that without air, water,and nourishment and seek spiritual growth. It is impossible because we need air,water and nourishment to even give praise of any kind of Higher Force or God. Yet we deny and manipulate this one solitary principle and many humans are denied God’s given rights to life. We have not only denied this principle, lost our focus on this principle and caused great suffering before the final death of God’s humans but also have used all types of intellectual endeavors to justify that we are God’s chosen people. There is not such a thing and never was. We are all God’s chosen people certainly including those that suffer great pains before final death. To look at life in the human one must look at death in the human first.
Have you ever imagined much less seen the death of a person by slow, painful suffering from no or little nutrition. This brings up a very special fact of a different type of focus. In order for the human to experience joy or pain one must feel these things emotionally in order to appreciate their full impact. The lack of focus on feelings is a great hindrance to spiritual growth and causes many problems for all that may wish to share but do not have the feeling or true empathy to feel the pains and sufferings of others.
The main reason for not developing empathy is ego and ignorance. First we use ego to protect who we are, what we want, what we have obtained, and what we want in the future and all the methods we use to obtain those materialistic items. I call this pathological disease of the human race of those that do not or can not see or feel empathy for the life process. Where does it come from. Ego and ignorance. Ignorance is the unwillingness to learn. Ego says that we do not have to learn. So both are born in the human spirit and produce horrific results for all living creatures- those that may have enough to eat and those that have very little and suffer and eventually die with great suffering. Even using the intellect alone one cannot toss off imaging pain and suffering yet even with intellect many do. Also if one is actually in simpatico or feeling the immense pain of those suffering it is impossible for any human to deny that such great pain and suffering exists and is very real. Yet we deny because of ego and ignorance.
Perhaps if there is a place or thought of a Hell or negative energy for all time then that would alter people’s view of denying ego and ignorance and offering whatever they could to the life process. Even a life of everlasting Hell or regression of energy into a lesser dimension does not alter the ego and ignorance of many people. So the spiritual leaders have failed again to keep our focus on the life process.
Power and greed are born from ego and ignorance and they present great hardships on the focus of the life process. Power is energy used. It can help or hinder. So there is a choice of how we use this energy. The problem as stated before is that which is based on ego and ignorance manipulates this energy into fulfilling more ego and more ignorance. There is less and less focus on the life process. In all religions even including the Bible it speaks of reincarnation of the soul’s energy. It may be the only hope for those who abide by ego and ignorance to get the souls to a better state in the next reincarnation.
However putting that aside the fact that since the beginnings of time all people have had ego and ignorance as their form of suffering that has caused others to suffer as well. How can one get rid of ego and ignorance and offer love,compassion and empathy and action to alter the degree of suffering of others. Spiritual leaders have failed again. It is the belief that spiritual leaders are interested in the spiritual growth of all. Yet it does not happen. Focus is not there.
We all have ego and ignorance of one form or another and we all suffer because of it. But to stay in one place only in our ego and ignorance is based on free choice- a God given right. We must all grow in the devine way of God’s covenant to humanity not just acting as a God we think it is. God placed living creatures on this planet for all of us. Spiritual growth is determined by how we relate to all those things God has given us. Even the non-believer must admit that there are many pleasures and pains in life and have choices to alter those energies. So even if one is a non-believer one can still believe in the life process and share whatever they can to bring about less pain and less suffering.
Getting back to feeling the pains and suffering of someone dieing slowly from lack of nutrients is a horrible death. Each part of the body dies at different rates and different nerve ending release great amounts of pain each and every day the body is dieing. We do not feel much pain if we place one hair in the palm of our hand but if that one hair is in the eye it can cause great pain. The human organism is made up of billions of nerve endings and when the body is dieing a slow death from malnutrition these nerve endings change how they lived and reacted before malnutrition and now you have massive,constant pain. One would hope for sleep, but those nerve endings are also destroyed. Very few people have ever had this type of suffering and been helped to restore them back to health. The next part of God’s covenant was that even though you are special to God so are all of your offspring. This vicarious suffering by the parents of the suffering child are in addition to their own suffering. All is dieing and there is no end to suffering period. One must get past anger and hostility towards those that are ego-centered and ignorant and deny sharing as a God principle and keep total focus on God’s covenant to diminish the amount of suffering of all living creatures. Where we have failed the covenant all have varying degrees of pain and suffering.
All religions state that a portion of all our work should be given for the aid of others in greater pain and suffering than we are in. We give lip-service to this principle and people suffer. We manipulate the covenant and people suffer. Why would anyone wish to choose other than to share. Lack of focus,lack of spiritual growth caused by ego and ignorance and finally laziness. Laziness is a catch-all word for lack of choice. If I do not have to make a choice I am therefore not held to ego and ignorance. Totally and completely ignorance.
Society can place all types of blame for how we got here with all the definitions of the industrial age, technology and all the so-called progress humans have made but the blame is really on the violation of focus and choice on the principle of the life process. At anytime in the history of humans it could alter its choice to focus of the life process. Some times were slightly better ,some far worse. However we as conscious beings now have the same choice as humans did many thousands of years ago. Many would even question God’s covenant as an excuse for not making any choice and remain ignorant and thus would state that reality is that there has always been suffering so it is not their duty to choose to change it. It is someone else who should choose to alter suffering. This is totally stupid or ignorant. So we have power,greed,money,behaviors that all lack purpose and intent with actions that destroy purpose and intent and actions.
How is it that humans have always had something they have felt was so special that they wished to leave it for others to come? Why are these writings and thoughts of past humans forgotten and denied to us now? Was there a time when other humans thought and chose in a different way? The most important thing to remember is the here and now in this time with the strong abiding focus on past good choices and bad choices that either were focused or lacked focus on the life process principle.
Statistics are always devoid of humans even though they represent humans. Each human should have God’s rights given in His covenant to humans to have life even with our pains and sufferings. Many people seem only to be impressed by statistics and think that If they help a large amount of people on those statistical charts that are suffering that they are doing the most good. This again give rise to ego and ignorance. If it is so overwhelming then I can not do much to help. But what about your own spiritual growth? If you grow- you grow. If you deny growth- you deny growth. Again ego and ignorance. People in the Unite States would be appalled if all the people in Louisville,Kentucky were dead next week and ask what happened as if they wanted to learn not to have it happen again and certainly not to them and their family. This statistic is exactly what happens each and every week in the world where children of various continents die from lack of safe drinking water. Every 15 seconds ,about the time it takes to read three sentences in this article another child has died . Just ask yourself how many children or loved ones you have and count the seconds until they all die. Horrible but it happens each and every day. This is just bad water.
Then food- 852 million people in the world do not have food to even remotely sustain life. 852 million people is 2.86 times the total population of the United States. Can you imagine every person the entire United States dieing from bad water and no food and we are a country of 300 million. Remember these are statistics not individual nerve endings dieing causing massive pain and no way out of pain other than death.
Now to governments. Our blame game and rightfully so. We have been fooled by many ego-ignorant, pathological people who now use their ego-ignorance to advance their own ego-ignorance and a constant spiral of hardships on the focus of what we can be as humans. There are very few if any governments on the planets that are truly interested in the life process. I state again there are very few governments on this planet that are truly interested in the life process. So you donate money and think you gave and made a choice to share. Where does this money go? It goes to foundations with their employees and the like or finally some money makes it to the governments to help their people. The governments rarely allow all monies sent from the middle-man foundations to get to the people in need. So lets say you give 100$ - 19 or more$ to the foundation which leaves 81$ to go to the government in need. This has made very wealthy people in governments of needy countries and very little if any money gets to its people. Also if these needy governments do not get enough money or if we criticize them for not helping their own people the needy governments cuts off ties with donors until donors sense that they have to play by the rules of the needy government.
People are afraid of death and certainly are afraid of death from being killed. People are always obsessed with things they do not understand. Fear is another aspect of ignorance. People are rightfully fearful of present day schools in Pakistan teaching children to hate the USA. These madrass schools are indeed teaching hate out of the same ignorance we have in another way. Hatred of any kind taught anywhere for any reason is negative energy with great destructive power. Yet we in the so-called Western culture has done nothing to teach love and compassion in our schools for centuries. How do you fight hatred? With love and compassion. Do we protect ourselves from those that hate us. Yes. Every religion on the planet has as it basic tenet love and compassion. There are no religions on this planet that teach hatred as their tenet. Is it wrong to teach hatred? Yes very wrong. It goes against the whole of humanity as well as against all covenants in any religion given by God or Supreme Force. This is only one of the new problems that humans now face that has never been before in the history of humans. It is indeed one of the greatest problems of our future planet. Why are we not teaching morality lessons to three year olds and continue that through religious trainings in public schools and colleges? These are not just some wild thoughts but the future of the planet and all of its peoples have to have it to get back to the original covenant of sharing of life process principle.
The writer mentioned before the choices of previous humans being good and bad that we should learn from. Morality is in every religion on the planet. The writer mentioned laziness as a means of escaping making decisions which are caused by ignorance. The ability to grow in spiritual terms is governed by passion not laziness. Passion for the spirit is not ego in its purest form. One has always to be careful that passion does not go into ego.
Now to another fault of spiritual leaders. The writer mentions the schools teaching hatred but I must say that many spiritual leaders are teaching ignorance as a means a giving their flock spiritual guidance. If you only read certain books you have a certain view of those things pertain to your training. If you go to a seminary for training you have that view of training for your flock. But what if you studied others things as well you have that as option to give to your flock with more spiritual awareness. This is a form of delusion. Delusion means that someone thinks they have answers to questions and then finds out later that they did not have those answers. Ego and ignorance cause delusion. This delusion is one of the horrible obstacles to helping with the principle of the life process. Very few religions will admit that they are delusional and proclaim that they the have the only way to spiritual growth. It is more than go read again your religious teachings and see if you have different answers. There is only one principle of life- life itself given by a Higher Being and to make mockery of that Higher Being by placing your own interpretation on that Higher Being is the most ultimate insult. All living creatures are a part of this Higher Being in any religion and must be respected.
The reason why the writer has given so many lessons for spiritual leaders to heed is due to the ultimate place all peoples of all eons have placed on spiritual growth. I have given your this opportunity not from my ego but in a sincere hope that you will have more awareness of what it means to be human even with all our pain and suffering. Ronald C. Dishinger
