INTRODUCTION
"The mind of man is taken far more with disguises than with realities"
RALPH WALDO EMERSON
Imagine being in a dark and crowded room. With
every other step you smash your shin on a table, hit
your head on a lamp, smack your hip on the corner of
a desk, and repeatedly trip over pieces of furniture.
Everyone else is tripping and injuring him or herself
also. You make efforts to stop injuring yourself, but despite
your good intentions you keep falling. There is somebody
who is giving out pills that will deaden the pain of your in-juries;
and the pills are very popular in the land of the dark,
as everybody is suffering cuts and bruises.
A collective decision is made to raise money in hopes of
figuring out how to make furniture that is not so dangerous,
and to design clothing that will protect everyone from injury.
The decision to name all the injuries suffered from particular
falls and collisions is also agreed upon, including B.H.S.
(Bruised Hip Syndrome), T.A. (Twisted Ankleitis), and B.H.D.
(Bruised Head Dis-ease). These acronyms are repeatedly used
by physicians and the general population until they become
part of the daily lexicon. Committees are formed, money is
raised, celebrities (out of the goodness of their heart) speak
out to increase "awareness;" so research begins to find the
cures of these conditions. Experts suggest that walking faster
will help, but more people end up getting injured. An expert
from a top university claims it must be some type of microbe,
either a germ or a virus, causing people to bang into furniture.
Another expert says his study shows that walking backwards
is the answer; yet another claims the problem to be a genetic
predisposition and begins lobbying for additional funds for ge-netic
research. The years go on and on, and despite billions of
dollars spent on this research and the advice of highly educated
men and women, the people in the dark continue to trip
and fall at an increasing rate. Lack of money or lack of proper
treatments and "cures" is not the issue.
As long as you're in the dark it really does not matter what
you decide, how intent you are at not banging into the furniture,
how much research is done, or what the experts say.
THE ONLY REAL SOLUTION IS TO TURN ON THE LIGHT.
Our civilization is the midst of a severe health crisis. We
are stumbling in the dark searching for solutions in places they
simply do not exist. We live in a world where few, if any, human
beings die of natural causes. To die of natural causes, you
must live a natural life. In today's modern culture, people live
unnatural lives and thus die of unnatural causes. Most human
beings succumb to heart dis-ease and cancer treatments and
die with debilitated and decrepit, disease-filled bodies, brittle
and weakened bones, and failing organs. We are stumbling
around in the dark imagining that if we "run faster," raise
more money, and do more research, things may improve. This
is our present plight, but it does not have to be so.
The following work is offered as a safe and tremendously effective
option for those who are suffering from dis-ease and physical
discomfort, whether labeled incurable, chronic, or hereditary,
and for those who simply want to live with optimum health.
