it affects you , how to test d i fferent foods , how to test for m ag n etic field deficiency and
what to do about it. Th i s mod u le also i ncl udes a section o n how to identify oth e r

to find complete balance .

The Food Pyramid

The Food Pyramid is a pictorial d i ag ram showi ng
g u ideli nes for a proper d i et, which was fi rst p u b l ished by
the U S Food and D rug Ad m i n istration ( F DA) in 1 992.
There are a cou ple of m ajor problems with the food
pyram id . Fi rstly, it is an ove rly b road , catch-al l type of
syste m which ignores the fact that d iffere nt bod ies h ave
d iffe re nt needs, both for calorie i ntake and type of food .
The next issue is that the food pyramid focuses on ratio
and q uantity wh i l e saying noth i n g about the qual ity of the
foods .

FOOD QUALITY
Eating organ ically g rown food is vital to o u r health , and beco m i ng more and more so
as time goes o n . W h i l e it is often better to eat conventionally g rown fru its and
vegetables rather than none at al l , this is not always the case . For exam p l e ,
conventionally or com m e rcially g rown bel l peppe rs (capsicu m ) are often sprayed so
heavi ly with toxic pesticides that you 're better off leavi ng them on the shelf !
U nfort u n ately, pesticides and h e rbicides aren 't the only th i n g you need to watch out
for. Many fru its , vegetables and g rains are also being genetical ly mod ified (G M O) ,
mean i n g their D N A h as been altered to ach i eve a certain affect. These o rganisms
are u s u ally read as toxins by the body, even tho u g h they may look j u st the same as
their organic cou nterparts . I n fact, ge n etically modified foods m ay eve n appear
prettier, fresher and without the bru ising that you someti mes see in other prod uce ,
but don 't be fooled . Th i s is because thei r D N A has been specifically altered so the
prod u ce wi l l be toug her, to s u rvive the often long , rou g h road from farm to store . If
you r fru its and vegetables sti l l seem fresh 2 wee ks after you buy the m , you m ay want
to q uestion how healthy for you they really are . Many are also altered so they wi l l
g row i n u n n atural cond ition s such as a colder or warmer cli mate . For exam p l e ,
sci e ntists com b i ned t h e D N A o f tom atoes with the D N A o f the flo u nder fish . This

al lowed them to g row tom atoes i n an u n n at u rally cold c l i mate , where normal
tom atoes wou ld not be able to g row. These tomatoes may look normal , but you r
body knows better !

Avo id i ng toxins is a good reason t o eat organic, b u t it's certainly not t h e o n ly reason .
Organ ical ly g rown fru its and vegetables h ave been prove n to be many ti mes more
n utrient rich than com m e rcially g rown ones i n al most all cases, too . There was a
study done a n u mber of years ago by R utgers U n iversity. The i r hypothesis was that
there m i g ht be a d ifference i n m i neral content i n organ ical ly g rown ve rsus
com m e rcially g rown vegetables . The resu lts of the i r study were asto u n d i ng . They
fou nd that organ ical ly g rown snap beans had 73
parts per m i l l io n of boron and 227 parts per m i l lion of
i ro n . Com mercially g rown snap beans had 1 0 parts
per m i l l ion of boron and 1 0 parts per m i l l io n of i ro n .
Organ ically g rown tomatoes contai ned al most 2000
parts per m i l l ion of i ro n . Com m e rcially g rown
tomatoes had o n ly 1 part per m i l l ion ! All of the
m i neral contents were d ramatical ly h ig h e r in the
org an ical ly g rown vegetables than in the
com m e rcially g rown vegetables.

Eating organic is by far the best way to n o u rish the body and g ive it all the n utrients it
needs. You r body is an i ncred i bly sop h i sticated mach i n e , so why wou ld you g ive it
fuel that is su bpar or contam i n ated ? You wou l d n 't put cheap, d i l uted fue l in you r
expensive Fe rra r i , wou l d you ? Of cou rse not, you 'd m ake s u re i t h ad the proper fuel
i n o rder to keep the car function i ng correctly. You r body is the same , it needs a
certai n balance of n utrients i n order to remain i n balance and fu nction opti mally.
What you r body needs is probably a l ittle d ifferent than what my body needs, of
cou rse , depend i n g on any n u m be r of factors . But at the end of the day, organic food
is best for all of u s .

If you are a b l e to , I h i g h ly recom mend that y o u g row s o m e o f you r o w n vegetables

and fru its . If you 've ever g rown you r own food , especi ally tomatoes - they taste
heave n ly com pared to the tomatoes that you can buy at the store . If you don 't have a
garden of you r own , I wou ld h i g h ly recom mend that you read a book cal led "Sq u are
Foot G arde n i ng . " I n that book, you 'l l learn how you can h ave a garden , eve n if you
l ive i n an apartment and you d o n 't have any land .

Nutritiona l Ideas Change

If there 's o n e th i ng that is for certai n , it i s that ideas about n utrition change
conti n u al ly. You may remember the g reat egg scare d u ri ng the 1 990's. Scientists

N utritio n and Lifestyle

p u b l i shed the idea that eggs were causing heart
d isease because of the cholestero l , and recom mended
that no one should eat more than one egg per week. Of
cou rse, a few years later, they d iscovered that the i r
p u b l ished ideas were actually wrong , a n d they h ad to
recant the i r statements . Keep an open m i nd when you
hear about what foods you should and shou ld n 't eat ­
you never know what i nformation m i g ht be o utdated ,
i ncorrect or j u st part of the story. Remember that what
is really best for the body is d iffere nt for everyone so
use m u scle testi ng to dete r m i n e what you need and what you should avoid .

Cho lestero l
Speaki ng of cholestero l , it h as never actually been proven that cholesterol creates
heart d isease or harden i ng of the arteries , wh ich is known as Arteriosclerosi s .
Meanwh i l e , the pharmaceutical i n d u stry is raki ng i n t h e money fro m a l l t h e sales of
cholesterol red ucing medicatio n . I n real ity, cholestero l isn 't all bad ! lt is prod uced
n atu ral ly by the l iver, and is necessary for the body to fu nction properly.

Fats
Fats are also q u ite demon ized i n o u r soci ety, and wrongfu l ly so . Low-fat d i et foods
were the craze in the U S at the beg i n n i n g of t h i s centu ry, showi ng how m isi nfo rmed
the p u b l ic h as been about fats and what ro le they real ly play. General ly speaki ng ,
foods h i g h i n sugar and starch are what cause people to gai n we i g ht, not healthy
fats ! There is a lot of m isi nfo rm ation out there about
what kinds of fats are good and what are bad . The
good kinds of fats are necessary for the fu nction of
the body and the health of our tissues. Deficiency i n
these fats can cause big problems ! Eating too many
bad o r u n h ealthy fats can cause i nflam matio n ,
formation o f free rad icals and othe r problems. Keep
in m i nd that the closer a fat is to it's n atu ral state , the
health ier it w i l l be. For examp l e , the fats fou nd in raw
n uts and seeds , avocados and raw, cold-pressed
cocon ut o i l h e l p suppo rt the body tissues. P rocessed fats l i ke canola o i l (rapeseed
o i l ) can be h armfu l and toxic to the body and s h o u l d be avoided . Many o i l s also
become u nstable and h armfu l when heated too h ig h . Ol ive o i l , for example, is
beneficial at roo m tem pe ratu re , but should not be heated . Use o l ive oil on salads and
choose coconut oil for cooking i n stead .

N utritio n and Lifestyle

Milk
M i l k h as been put on a pedestal i n Western society, for no good reason . When m i l k
is raw, i n its n atu ral form straig ht fro m the cow, i t is actually a very healthy food for a
lot of peo p l e . I n fact, there are many cases where d iseases seem to go away when
people get o n a d i et i ncl u d i ng raw cow's m i l k. The
problems arise when cow's m i l k is pasteu rized , which
means that it's heated hot enough and long enoug h to
ki l l the bacteria that is i n the m i l k . This changes the
natu re of the m i l k and ki l l s its val uable enzymes. M i l k
is also usual ly homogen ized , which means that t h e fat
content has been alte red . If you 've eve r see n raw m i l k
that has come straig ht from a cow that hasn 't been
homogen ized , what you ' l l see is a thick layer of cream
on the top . When they homogen ize m i l k, they blend the cream i nto the rest of the
m i l k so that very fine m icroscopic d roplets of fat from the cream are spread
throug hout the m i l k, held i n suspension . The problem with that is that the fat particles
go i nto the blood stream too eas i ly, which is not hand led very wel l by the body. Th is
is the kind of u n healthy fat that contri butes to harden i ng of the arte ries . If you 're
going to d ri n k m i l k or any other dai ry prod uct, make s u re it's raw !

Grains
There is a lot of controve rsy about g rains and whethe r they are healthy or not.
Conve ntional wisdom proclaims that g rains are healthy, and the food pyramid
suggests m u ltiple servings of breads and cereals per day. Maybe this wou ld be okay
for some peo p l e , but the evide nce shows that many, many others are u nable to
digest g rai n s , and experience al l kinds of sym ptoms and health problems as a resu lt.

There are any n u mber of poss i b i l ities for bei n g

u nable t o digest g rai n s , one be i ng that m a n y g rai ns
on the market now are genetical ly mod ified .
Scientists man i p u l ate the D N A of a g rai n to prod uce
a desi red effect, such as a h i g h e r yield or a longer
g rowing pe riod . While this m ay mean more money
for the g rower, it can spe l l d isaster for the consumer.
Com m e rcially g rown wheat i n the US, for exam p l e ,
has a very molecu lar structu re t h a n it u sed t o w h e n
o u r parents a n d g rand pare nts were g rowi ng u p . Back
the n , problems such as g l uten i ntolerance weren 't wel l known or u nderstood , partially
because the med i cal research was n 't there , but also because most people d i gested
wheat with relative ease and d i d n 't h ave the tro u b l e with it that demanded any

N utrition and Lifestyle

 [TH E BODY CO D E 2.0] ..

med i cal attention , q u ite u n l i ke today. Wheat today contai ns seve ral more types of
prote i n than the heritage wheat you cou ld find i n the 1 960 's, before genetic
mod ification of food real ly began . Our bod ies do not u nderstand what these fore i g n
protei n s are , s i m p ly because they are not natu ral . W h e n t h i s k i n d o f fore i g n molecu le
is i ntrod uced i nto the body, particu larly the d i gestive system , an al lergy o r i ntolerance
can develop almost i m mediately. Th is is a n atu ral reactio n , s i m i lar to the i m m u ne
reaction that takes place when a fore i g n i nvad e r such as a bacte rial or vi ral pathog e n
enters t h e body. Th is means that t h e body h as u nderstood this molecu le t o b e
negative , a n d t h e i m m u ne system wi l l b e on t h e lookout for this i nvader i n the futu re .
The side affects of this can be almost anyth i n g , b ut the most com mon are fatig u e
after eati n g , d i gestive u pset, headaches a n d ski n problems. Genetically mod ified
organisms look so s i m i lar to the reg u lar o rgan isms, that even if you g o back to eating
o n ly o rganic wheat, for exam ple, you r body sti l l m ay perceive it as an i nvader that
req u i res i m m u n e i nterventi o n . Releas i ng an i ntolerance o r allergy to the g rain can
help to erad icate this pro b l e m . See the E n e rg ies section on Al l e rg ies and
I ntol e rances for more i nformation about t h i s .

Another reason for d ifficu lty d igesting g rains i s that

g rain crops are often heavily sprayed with pesticides
and herbicides. S i m i lar to the G M O i ssue , this can
cause the body to perceive the g rai n as a tox i n or
i nvader, i n add ition to the poisonous chemicals it
contains. Eating organic g rai ns can prevent this fro m
happe n i ng i n t h e fi rst place , b u t if an allergy o r
i ntolerance has al ready developed a n d is not cleared ,
the body w i l l l i kely conti n u e to react negatively to the
g rai n , even if you eat o n ly organic in the futu re . So in
other word s , if you have eaten wheat that h as been sprayed with pesticides, and
you r body has developed an i ntol e rance to wheat, you cou l d eat o rganic wheat but
you m ay sti l l conti n u e to react negatively to it.

Another problem with g rains i s that they are ofte n h i g h ly processed . This usual ly
means that the h ig h-fiber, n utri e nt contai n i ng parts h ave been removed , leaving the
starchy, h ig h-g lyce m i c parts of the g rai n . The pu rpose of this i s u s u al ly for practical
reason s , so as to m ake baked goods l i g hter and fluffier, to h e l p oatmeal cook faster
and so on. Some g rains are eve n bleached to make them wh iter and therefore , more
visually attractive , which i s very harmfu l to the d igestive system . I n short, if o u r
bod ies were i ntended t o eat a g rai n , w e should eat t h e whole g rai n , not j u st certa i n
parts.

Whether o u r bod ies are i ntended to eat g rai n is another big controve rsy. Many
people bel i eve that our bodies don 't d i gest g rai n s we l l because our ancestors were

N utrition and Lifestyle

• [TH E BODY CO D E 2.0]

h u nter-gatherers for thousands of years , not farmers . We s i m ply h aven 't h ad time to
evolve i nto the g rai n-digesti ng mach i nes that we 've tried to force o u r bod ies to be .
Th is m ay be why so many people beg i n a g rain-free d i et such as Paleo and never go
back, because they feel so m uch better !

There are legacy g rains l i ke Q u i noa, which actually a seed , a n d Amaranth , which i s
a n ancient form o f wheat, a n d I f i n d that many peo ple can cons u m e t h e m without
having any problems. That may or may not be the case for you .

What's Right for Your Body

The perfect d i et does exist, but it wi l l never be a o ne-size-fits-al l type of plan . lt is the
d i et that is specifically for you , the one you r s u bconscious m i nd al ready knows all
about ! You r body knows exactly what it does and does not want, what wi l l n o u rish
you and what wi l l cause problems if you eat it. Al l you have to do is ask, "Does my
body want __ ?" and see what answe rs you get. You can get as specific as you
want, eve n creating complete and exte nsive meal plans. Remember that if you have
tro u b l e with a ce rtain food , there m ay be an underlyi ng reason (especial ly if the food
is not i n herently toxic) , so j u st use The Body Code M i nd Maps and clear whateve r
yo u find . Keep i n m i nd that you r d i etary needs wi l l l i kely change ove r ti m e , depend i ng
on what is going o n i n you r body and i n you r l ife . So keep an open l i ne of
com m u n ication going with you r body and keep g iving it the proper fuel .

NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY
Most Western d i ets are deficient i n vitam i n s and m i nerals .
Factory farm i ng practices h ave depleted t h e soi l s o that the
veg etables and fru it g rowi ng from it are not rich in n utrients l i ke
they o nce were . I n add ition to that, most people d o n 't eat
e n o u g h fru its and vegetables as it i s , so it should be no
su rprise that many people h ave n utri e nt deficiencies. The
body's org ans and tissues need a certai n amou nt of vitam i n s
a n d m i nerals i n order t o fu nction properly. W h e n they do n 't
have the n utri e nts they need , i mbalance and eve ntual
breakdown is the resu lt.

Nutrient Deficiency Eva luation

F i nd i ng n utritio nal deficiencies is very easy because the body knows exactly what it
needs. Ask, "Do you h ave a n utritional deficiency that needs to be add ressed ?" If the

N utrition and Lifestyle

 [TH E BODY CO D E 2.0] •

answe r to that is "Yes", fi nd the n utrient o n the N utritional C hart. You can d ivide the
n utrient l i st i nto col u m ns and odd and eve n rows, then n arrow it down to the n utrient
when you get to a certain box. This is the same ki nd of process as fi nd i ng a Trapped
E moti o n . For exam p l e , ask " I s what you need in col u m n A?" or " I s what you need i n
col u m n B?" the n , " I s i t i n o n e of the odd rows ?" or " I s i t i n a n even row?" Etc . The
N utritional Chart i s l ocated in you r M i nd M aps .

Nutrient Deficiency Correction

Most d i etary n utrient deficiencies are correctable with supplementatio n , but some
times eati ng a certai n food can also correct the deficiency. Consult the n utrient chart
for more i nformation about obtai n i ng n utrie nts fro m food . As soo n as you identify the
n utrient that is needed , you want to test for dosages of supplements (or what sou rce
of food to eat, if this is a poss i bi l ity) . If someone h as had a deficiency for a ve ry long
ti m e , they m ay need to take more than the reco m m e nded daily allowance of a
particu lar supplement u nti l the deficiency is co rrected . Be aware howeve r, that it is
possible to take too much of certai n vitam i n s and m i neral s , so con s u lt The Body
Code N utritional Chart for recom mended daily allowance i nformatio n , and
recom mend that you r cl ients con s u lt thei r doctor if they h ave q u estions or concern s .

Appendicitis or Nutritiona l Deficiency ?

This story w i l l i l l u strate how val uable m uscle testing fo r n utritio n can be. I h ad a
patient who h ad been hospital ized for about 5 d ays with pai n i n her rig ht lowe r
abdomen . When she was fi rst ad m itted to the hospital , they assu med it was
append icitis, but when they ran the tests , her appendix appeared to be doing fi n e .

She was there i n t h e hospital for 5 days wh i l e they ran all t h e other tests that we re
available. All tests came back negative . They finally told her, "We d o n 't real ly th i n k
there 's anyt h i ng wrong with you . W e th i n k it's al l i n you r head because w e can 't find
anyth i n g on our tests, and we can 't keep you here any longer. You have to leave
now . "

T h e next d ay, on Monday s h e came i nto my

office and we fou n d , among other t h i n g s , that
she had a need for chrom i u m . I assu med it
was an i ncidental find i n g , and d i d n 't really th i n k
too m u c h about i t at the t i m e . I sai d , "You
know , it's showi ng u p that you need chrom i u m ,
s o you need to g et a c h ro m i u m supplement at
the health food store . " But I d i d n 't real ly th i n k
that i t had anyth i ng to do with t h e pai n that she

• [TH E BODY CO D E 2 .0]

was i n , because that d i d n 't m ake se nse . So I fixed everyt h i n g that I cou ld find on h e r
a n d she went home .

The next d ay, she came i nto my office fee l i ng even more pai n . I remember th i n ki n g ,
"Th is woman is going to bu rst h e r appe n d ix and she's going t o d i e and it's g o i ng to
be my fau lt, and I 'l l be out of busi ness and that w i l l be it." I d i d n 't know what else to
do but ask her body what it wanted . The very fi rst th i ng that showed u p when I
started testing her was that she had some kind of n utritional need .

We went to the N utritional Chart, to Col u m n B and Row 1 , and rig ht to chrom i u m
agai n . I sudden ly remembered that chro m i u m h ad shown u p the day befo re , and I
asked her, "Did you get the c h ro m i u m supplement yesterday?" and she said , " N o . "
S o I said , "Okay, I want you t o leave t h e office rig ht now a n d I want you t o go t o t h e
health food store a n d b u y some chro m i u m . "

S h e went to the health food store , and about 2 5 m i n utes later was back i n m y waiting
roo m , l iterally j u m p i ng u p and down sayi ng , " I am fixed ! That fixed it !" She told me
that the moment she took the c h rom i u m at the health food store , the pai n was
i n stantly gone. She asked me how I fig u red it out and I said , "We l l , it wasn 't me that
fig u red it out. lt was you r body. You r body knew exactly why you needed it!" And she
asked , "Can you explain why that happened , why the chro m i u m deficiency
apparently was creating so much pai n ?" I said , "Frankly, I h ave abso l ute ly no idea,
but apparently you r body real ly needed it, and l uckily we were able to tune i nto you r
body and hear what i t was sayi n g . " Qu ite a n amazing th i ng , isn 't it?

MALNUTRITION

Physica l Ma lnutrition
P hysical mal n utrition refe rs to a g ro u p of cond itions that
are generally related to poor q u al ity or i n sufficient
q u antity of n utrient i ntake , absorptio n , or uti l izati o n .

There are two major types o f maln utrition :

•
P rotei n - energy mal n utrition , which resu lts fro m
deficiencies i n a n y or all n utri e nts that are normally
avai lable
• M icron utrient deficiency, which resu lts from a
deficiency of specific m icro n utri e nts such as

I n Th i rd World cou ntries, protei n -energy m al n utrition i s most com m o n . Most peop l e i n
the Western world suffe r from m icro n utrient deficiency. Th i s j u st i nd icates that the
q u al ity of food in the d i et i s not n utrient dense enoug h to provide proper nourishment.
Th i s can be corrected with supplementation and maki ng appropriate changes to the
d i et. See the previous section o n N utrient Deficiency for more i nfo rmatio n .

Spiritual Ma lnutrition
We h ave a d ual n atu re , or in other word s , we are beings
with both spi rit and a physical body. lt i s possible for
either the physical body o r the spi rit to become
mal n o u rished . Spi ritual maln utrition i s very d ifferent
from physical m a l n utritio n . If we go ve ry long without
eating physical food , our body l ets u s know in no
u n ce rtai n terms that it's time to eat. If we neg lect to feed
o u r s p i rit however, we do not receive strong messages
l i ke the o nes we can receive from o u r physical body.
N eve rtheless, it's vital ly i m portant for u s , if we want to
l ive joyfu l and tru ly balanced l ives , to feed o u r spi rits o n
a reg u l ar basis.

O u r testing shows that worldwid e , rou g h l y :

•
53% of people are i n a state of spi ritu al starvation
• 32% of people are in a state of spi ritu al
malnou ris h m e nt
•
The remai n i ng 1 5% of people are feed i ng the i r spi rits reg u larly e n o u g h that
they can be considered spi ritual ly we l l-nou rished

So, if you are spi ritually malnou rished , what can you do? lt's really all about vibration .
There is a wonderfu l word i n the E n g l i s h lang u age that helps to describe the kind of
spi ritual food that o u r spi rits real ly can use. That word is "edify . " We need to edify o u r
spi rits , which means that w e need "to i n struct or benefit, especially morally or
spi ritu a l l y ; u p l ift . " Anyt h i n g that you can read , l i sten to, watch or do that bri ngs you to

E njoyi ng n atu re a n d watch i ng e ntertai n ment with a positive message about love and

com e fro m earnestly striving to create and nou rish a rel ationsh i p with you r h ig her
power. P rayer, med itatio n , scri ptu re read i ng , and acts of service to othe rs h ave the
power to raise our v i b ration l i ke noth i n g e l se can . lt may be beneficial to ask the body
what type of "food" the spi rit needs .

degenerative d i seases that we h ave today? There are many reasons of cou rse . But
agai n , getting back to whole foods and reg ard less of what ki nd of d i et one h as ,
because P rice says people were al l d ifferent i n terms o f the i r d iet, depe n d i ng o n
where they l ive , what t h e c l i m ate was , what ki nd o f soi l , for exam p l e , b u t the
u nderlyi ng , u n ifyi ng factor with all of them was that they were not eating refi ned ,
revital ized foods . They were eati ng foods which were g rown i n the area i n which they

Mal e : "Price looked u pon t h e mouth - be i ng a dentist o f cou rse, he looked

u po n the mouth as bei n g the wi ndow to the rest of the body and because teeth were
more read i ly accessi b l e and easier to photog raph and spot, he obviously

P rice's pictu res are people with the i r mouth
open for that very reason . B ut that was o n ly
the tip of the iceberg because the h i g h
i ncidence o f cavities was i n d i cative not o n l y of
j u st poor oral health , but it was i n d icative of
overal l skeletal health , and overal l body health
as wel l . P rice took the foods of the societies he
i nvestigated back to his laboratory. H e had
samples sent back there, and he analyzed
them , and he fou nd , for examp l e , that the food
val ues in those foods , in many of the very i m po rtant n utrie nts such as _ omega-3 fatty

"The study and t h e book w e sel l , wh ich describes it,

sti l l stands alone in its abi l ity to show the effects of
cons u m i ng denatu red foods as the pop u l ation does

Pottenger's Cats . "

Fe mal e : "Potte nger fou nd with t h e cats the same types o f degeneration from the

Ma i e : "The fasci nating th i n g about the Potte nger cat studies i s that i n many
ways they tied in with some of Dr. P rice's research . Pottenger fou nd that in the th ree

and two-th i rd cooked exh i b ited certai n skeletal changes ove r the generations of the
cats . The g ro u ps that were fed more of the cooked d i et less proportionally of the raw
d i et started developing and showed skeletal deform ities, primari ly i n the sku l l itself.
And this is i nteresting because Price fou nd the same thing with the pri m itive g ro u ps
that he visited when they had gone on refi ned foods. He also noticed , and you 'l l see
the pictu res in his book, N utritional and P hysical Degeneratio n , the narrowing of the
jaw , the l ifti n g of the u pper pal ate , and the crowd i ng of the teeth , which shows that
the d i et for cats that were fed the more proportions of the cooked food was not
proper for that particu lar kind of an i m al . They weren 't getting some of the n utrients
that were needed to b u i ld proper skeletal shapes and it was the same thing with the
peopl e . N ow when one looks arou nd today, we can see a lot of evidence of the kind

HERB S EXPLANATION
N early all herbs have heal i n g or medici nal
q u al ities . If you 'd l i ke to do more extensive
research about herbs, I recommend "The
Complete Medicinal H e rbal , a P ractical G u ide to
the H eal i ng P rope rties of H e rbs with More Than
250 Remed ies for Com m o n A i l m e nts" by

"Herbal Home H ealth Care" by J o h n R .
Christopher. I wou l d strongly recommend that
you p u rchase one o r both of these books as a
g u ide to u s i n g herbs correctly.

Before reco m m e nd i ng that a person take any certai n herb , m ake ce rta i n that you are
aware of any possible problems that may resu lt, even if the body i nd i cates that it
wants the herb. Always err on the side of caut i o n .

Herbs Eva luation

You can s i m ply ask, " I s there a particu lar herb on t h i s chart that you r body needs?"

DEHYDRATION
The h u man body i s about 74% water. Water is
necessary for good cond uctivity i n the body, as wel l as
many other body processes. Dehyd ration is a com m o n
reason for a person t o become d i fficult or i m possible to
m u scle test. M any of us don lt d ri n k enough water but it
i s essential to do so for proper function i n g of the body
and for good health . Com m o n sym ptoms of
dehyd ration are headache , j o i nt pai ns, low back pai n ,
neck pai n , foggy th i n ki ng and consti patio n .

Tap water often does not correct dehyd ration . lt i s be l i eved to be a homeopathic
blend of many d ifferent ki nds of negative energ ies i nc l ud i ng i nd u strial waste ,
ag ricu ltu ral ru noff, artificial hormones , med i cations and anti biotics.

A comprehensive l i ne of q u estion i n g is outl i ned in the Dehyd ration M i nd Map, but

suffice to say here that you should make s u re of three th i ngs for you r c l i e nts :

•
They are d ri n ki ng enough water
•
They are d ri n ki ng the rig ht q u al ity of water
•
Thei r body i s able to absorb the water properly

An u nderlyi ng i m balance such as a trapped e motio n or a stom ach or kid ney

i m balance can block the body from being able to absorb water properly. If you find
that this is the case, remove the i mbalance , then test for those 3 factors agai n to

MAGNETIC FIELD DEFICIENCIE S

Mag netic field deficie ncy is l i ke any othe r deficiency. If you don 't get enoug h
mag netism , then you need to somehow supplement that need . I nterestingly enoug h ,
the earth 's m ag n etic field i s now about 1 0% weaker than it was when the German
m athematician , Carl Fried rich Gauss started keepi ng tabs on it in 1 845 . Because of
the natu re of our l ives and our loss of contact with the soi l , as wel l as our constant
exposu re to negative e lectromag n etic fields, M ag netic Field Deficie ncy Syn d ro m e , or
M FDS is a ve ry com m o n proble m .

There was a study d o n e o n Fibro myalg i a u s i n g mag netic mattress pad s . T h i s was a

adverse reactions were noted d u ri ng this 1 6-week

mag n etic mattress pad !

Another study u s i n g m ag netic mattress pads was

carried out ove r a one-year period in th ree of J apan 's
foremost hospitals , u s i n g 43 1 patients. The
concl usion was that sleeping on m ag n etic mattress
pads proved effective in helping rel ieve neck pai n ,
shou lder pai n , back pai n , lower l i m b pai n , i nsom n ia,
and fatig u e . In fact, as I recall from the stu dy there
was an ave rage 83% i m p rovement i n all those
a i l m e nts. There were no h armfu l side effects either, because these patients were
si m p ly getting what thei r bod ies needed i n o rder to retu rn to a state of balance , with
noth i n g else ( l i ke medication toxi ns) getting in the way.

Of cou rse , refrige rator mag n ets are widely available and work j u st fine for releas ing
trapped emotions and correcting energ etic i mbalances, but the N i kken mag n ets work
best for treatment of M FD S and for a lot of other problems as wel l . That's one of the

Muscle Testing for pH Imbalances

lt's also possible to test pH via muscle testing. You can simply ask, "Is your body pH
too acid?" or "Is your body pH too alkaline?" The body will usually give you a pretty
reliable answer. lt may not be as exact as using the test strips, but it is certainly
faster.

Changing Your pH

Most people become too acidic in their pH, and not too alkaline. To change your pH
rapidly from an acid to a more alkaline state, you can mix a teaspoon of baking soda
into an 8 ounce glass of water and drink it 3 times a day for 2 days. This is a general
guideline, so keep in mind that you may need to do this for longer than 2 days if your
pH is very acidic. To get the right dosage for your body, simply ask, "How many
teaspoons of baking soda do I need per day? One? Two?" etc. Then ask, "How long
should I continue this? One day? Two?" and so on.
