The Toxicless Diet, Body Purification & Healing System Fully Explained First, we want it definitely understood that this system does not claim to cure disease. No system can "cure" disease. No person can "cure" you of your ailments, aches and pains. Only the internal functions of your own body banish disease! The human body is self-cleansing, self-repairing and self-healing! You break a bone, the doctor sets the bone and puts it into a cast. The broken bone knits together again. After a certain number of weeks, the bone is again as strong as it was before the break – sometimes even stronger! There is no special diet, no special foods, no pill, no injection or prescription that can "cure" or mend a broken bone. The internal healing forces are within every human body – these are what heal and renew the bone! Only Mother Nature Cures! Burn this into your consciousness: Only Mother Nature Cures! Every human body has a special built-in healing mechanism. You cut your hand and three to five stitches might be required to close the wound. The doctor cleans, stitches and then bandages the wound. He can do no more. Now the miraculous healing mechanism of your body starts mending the wound. Man's body was created according to the laws of physics and chemistry, which are the Creator's own laws. They never vary. His law is written upon every nerve, every muscle, every faculty, which has been entrusted to us. - Henry W. Vollmer, M.D.  The preservation of health is a duty. Few seem conscious that there is such a thing as physical morality. - Herbert Spencer A healthy body is a guest-chamber for the soul;a sick body is a prison. - Francis Bacon The human body has one ability not possessed by any machine - the body has the ability to repair itself. - George W. Crile The World Health Organization reported recently that 24.5 million people worldwide – nearly 50% of the yearly deaths – are victims of just 3 chronic conditions linked to unhealthy lifestyles : circulatory diseases (especially heart attacks and strokes), cancer and lung disease! - US News and World Report Discover & Guard Your Body's Vital Force To simplify this explanation of the Toxicless Diet, Body Purification and Healing System, we are going to call this vital healing power "Vital Force"! All of us must have this Vital Force energy in order to stay alive! When the Vital Force is completely exhausted, then there is death. Many people live at a very low rate of "physical vibration" because they have a very low amount of Vital Force. Then there are people who live a healthy lifestyle every day who enjoy a high rate of physical vibration with high energy! Their Vital Force is high! Every day of your life you meet people with a high amount of Vital Force. On the other hand, every day you also see tired, exhausted, nervous, frustrated people full of aches, pains, diseases, stresses, strains and tensions. Most of these people are prematurely old . . . they appear and act older than their calendar years! People with a low quota of Vital Force have a low resistance to infectious diseases . . . they are the people who have frequent colds, flu, strep throat and many other disorders! They are the people who are chronically tired, suffering from what is often called chronic fatigue syndrome or Epstein-Barr. They are the people with poor memories who are full of aches and pains. They are lifeless, pale and often anemic. They are often unhappy, irritable people that nothing and no one can please! Lack of Vital Force Brings on Enervation! With the Vital Force energy at a low ebb enervation takes over. When enervation takes over physical troubles start to multiply! Remember first and foremost, we are miraculous instruments. In order for our bodies to be "in tune" and operate efficiently, there must be an adequate amount of Vital Force. It's needed to keep the eliminative organs removing the accumulating toxins and wastes from our bodies daily. A clean internal body operates more efficiently, happier and better. Deep breathing increases healing currents of Nerve Force and sends it throughout the body. - Patricia Bragg There you have it - the secret of life in a nutshell! The body accumulates a certain amount of toxic waste from the food you eat. As the food passes through the gastrointestinal tract, the great intelligence of the body selects the nutrients it needs and the waste or residue is passed on and out of the body. This squeeze and push function requires a large amount of Vital Force. If a person has low Vital Force, food wastes don't pass out of the body in the normal time, and toxins build up. The body has a warm temperature of 98.6 degrees. If food wastes remain too long in the gastrointestinal tract, daily toxic poisons build up. Then autointoxication and putrefaction starts to set in. Toxic poisons are then thrown back into the bloodstream and you start to self poison and self-pollute! The many dangerous effects of this toxic poison being thrown back into the bloodstream can become devastating and deadly! Enervation & Disease: Cause & Effect Mother Nature always gives warnings when toxic poisons start to build up in the bloodstream – such as headaches. Some ache, others throb and then there are the worst of all, the severe migraine headaches. There are also many other symptoms of autointoxication– biliousness, nausea, mental depression, irritability, stress, tension and strain. The full list of symptoms is too long to enumerate here. Enervation slows down the eliminative functions not only of the bowels, but also the kidneys, skin and lungs. Our bodies cannot efficiently eliminate the accumulating toxic wastes when our Vital Force is in a sluggish, low vibration, enervated condition! For every effect there must be a cause! All disease conditions are effects of enervation. The basic cause of enervation is a poor diet and an unhealthy lifestyle. The average food of civilization has been so perverted and robbed of its life and energy that most of its vital nutrients have been removed! You cannot expect to build a high Vital Force on poor fuel. Most humans in civilization suffer from chronic malnutrition. The prefix "mal" means ill or bad. So malnutrition means ill nutrition and in plain words adds up to bad health! Thy Food Will Be Thy Remedy! – Hippocrates On the Chios Island (now Khios) in classical Greece 2,500 years ago, Hippocrates, the bearded physician-teacher – father of medicine, sat in the shade of an Oriental plane-tree on a beautiful hillside. There Hippocrates taught and enlightened his medical students with these brilliant, factual, precise and ageless, important words of wisdom. Your Food Will Be Your Remedy . . . No one, to date, has more eloquently described a healthy way of life! The entire Toxicless Diet, Body Purification and Healing System is based on this one vital truth. This System is based on the principle that with healthy foods and fasting you can cleanse, purify and rebuild your body and find perfect health again. Yes, food can be your medicine! My father, over the course of his entire, long lifetime, proved that within fruits and vegetables are the amazing natural remedies for most of man's physical problems. The medical profession insists that it strives to emulate the Father of all physicians. Indeed, it requires its practitioners to take the Hippocratic Oath, one of the most sublime declarations of lofty ethics ever written. Yet today there are thousands of dedicated bacteriologists, pharmaceutical researchers and chemists sitting in gleaming laboratories throughout the world, busily turning out synthetic, so-called "magic" drug panaceas for every human misery. Unlike the wise Hippocrates, their unwise battle cry appears to be: "Thy remedy shall be our newly invented wonder drug." The three greatest letters in the English alphabet are N-O-W. There is no time like the present. Begin Now! - Sir Walter Scott, Scottish Poet, 18th C. There is only one corner of the universe that you can be certain of improving and that's your own self. - Aldous Huxley The natural healing force within us is the greatestforce in getting well. - Hippocrates, Father of Medicine The law, "Whatsoever a man sows that he shall also reap," is inscribed in flaming letters upon the portal of Eternity, and none candeny it, none can cheat it and none can escape it. - James Allen Keep Your Cardiovascular System Healthy & Fit At Any Age Suppose a magician suddenly appeared before you and promised you a marvellous machine which could run itself, direct itself, repair itself, perform remarkable mental and physical feats . . . and would last for about 120 years and maybe more. Would you treasure such a machine? Of course you would! You would keep it in top condition in order to obtain a maximum of service. Every day you would be astonished anew by the performance of this miracle-machine!  True, this is an age of computers, biotechnology and other modern mechanical, scientific and outer space marvels. Remember that the supreme tribute we can pay to any machine is to say, "It is almost human." Now, stop and think! Our Creator has presented you with the world's most miraculous machine - your own body! This incredible factory has its own non-stop motor (the heart), its own fuelling system (the digestive system), its own filtration system (the kidneys), its own thinking computer (brain and nervous system), its own temperature controls (sweat glands), etc. Indeed, this miraculous creation even has the power to reproduce itself! A teacher for the day can be a guiding light for a lifetime! Bragg books are silent health teachers - never tiring, ready night or day to help you help yourself to health! Our books are written with love and a deep desire to guide you to a healthy lifestyle.  - Patricia Bragg Keep Your Precious Body and Heart Functioning at Peak Efficiency Despite its importance, most of us rarely consider the care of this machine - our body - until illness strikes. By care we don't mean coddling. Instead, we mean those sensible practices and precautions which keep us in shape for the vigorous daily routine that strenuous modern living requires. Most people are fortunate to be born healthy, but far too often take this priceless gift of health for granted. Unfortunately, Mother Nature does not always let them get away with this carefree attitude.  You can ruin a good car by neglect or abuse, and you can do the same with your heart and body! The universally accepted #1 fruit, the apple, is popular across America and around the world. Early American settlers, the Pilgrims, brought apples to America in the early 1600's and became Johnny Apple seeders, starting apple orchards that eventually spread throughout America. Primitive Humans Lived and Thrived Under Great Pressures. Let's set the record straight: humans have lived under tremendous pressure, stress, strain and tension since the dawn of history. That is what life partly is - struggle! To live is to exist under pressures of all kinds. Humans have never lived without some challenges! In order to survive, our primitive ancestors lived under pressures that would be difficult for us to handle in today's modern world.  Early humans were often the prey of wild animals seeking to kill and eat them. In times of tribal or familial wars, some humans stalked and killed one another. Wind, rain, snow and bad weather would also put them under severe duress. Humans had to survive cruel and vicious natural calamities like floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, plagues, famines and epidemics. In short, stress, strain and tension are nothing new to humanity. Therefore, we believe humans can face and overcome almost all of the hardest pressures life puts upon them if they are healthy, strong of body and alert of mind - this is the survival of the fittest - The Secret of Survival.  Heart trouble need not be an inevitable by-product of mounting work, stress, tension and pressures that people face daily. Though early generations had to exist under tremendous pressure, they were rugged; active physically and mentally. Their secret was simple living, natural foods (without preservatives and pesticides) and ample pure air as well as hard work, which exercises and tones the heart and muscles. As it was in the past, so it is today.  Build yourself a vigorous, strong body so that you may face the great pressures of our culture today. Health, strength, endurance, stamina, vitality and energy are your protection from pressure, stress, strain and tension. Face it: this is a tough, rough, cruel and hard-boiled world in which we live, woe to the weak for they shall perish! Your Hardworking Blood Network The object of the blood circulating is to ensure that all the body's cells will be regularly supplied with food and oxygen, and regularly cleared of toxic substances. To achieve this objective, your 60,000 mile intricate network of blood vessels run throughout your body. The blood vessels which carry the blood from the heart are known as arteries. Those which return the blood to the heart are called veins. Both vary greatly in size, just as do streams and creeks that flow into larger rivers.  The largest blood vessel is the Aorta, the artery which acts as the main supply pipe leading directly out of the heart and from which - through numerous branches - all parts of the body are eventually supplied with blood. The smallest tubes of both the arteries and the veins are called capillaries - they're so tiny that most are only visible under a microscope. Through these capillaries the last of the food and oxygen is exchanged and the return transfer is made into the veins. The veins then carry the oxygen-depleted blood and toxic wastes back to the heart for purification.  On the way to the heart, most of the wastes are deposited in the kidneys for elimination from the body through the urine. Carbon dioxide, another impurity, is expelled through the lungs. For Easier-Flowing Bowel Movements It's natural to squat to have bowel movements. It opens up the anal area more directly. When on the toilet, putting feet up 6 to 8 inches on waste basket or footstool gives the same squatting effect. From behind use two fingers to gently pull up on edge of anus - this helps it roll out easier! Remember to drink 8 glasses of water daily! (More information inside front cover.) Eliminate the "Dribbles" Exercise This will help keep the bladder and sphincter muscles tightened and toned. Urinate - stop - urinate - stop, 6 times, twice daily when voiding, especially after the age of 40. This simple exercise works wonders. The use of Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is a wonderful health aid, and the #1 food I recommend in helping to maintain the body's vital acid-alkaline balance. Everyone should read the Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar book. - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Author of Conscious Eating and Spiritual Nutrition.
