Reality strikes a truthful blow
By William Zimmermann
When inner truths surface and I face them the world turns gray and I head for the Xanax bottle. I don’t run away from them but I turn down their volume with the drug. Reality is shifting all over the place these days and political correctness is a sad suffocation of real feelings opinions and thought as I drown their respiration in lies of civility. We pour our emotions in the empty ears of a god who does not reply. We react to a rapidly changing world where the rules change faster than the methods meaning and goals we ostensibly hold so dear.
The speed at which the world moves is inhumane. It brings one to the brink where the only question is “What is this all for?”
Every attempt to make sense of the input of information and to give the right answer, the appropriate response to others seems never to be in line with logic, intuition or any kind of sense or emotion. Restraint in propriety is to suffer constantly controled outrage.

The Miracle of Nascent Iodine
Nascent Iodine
by DALE MAXWELL on OCTOBER 9, 2009
By Dr. Mark Sircus
Iodine is utilized by every hormone receptor in the body. The absence of iodine causes a hormonal dysfunction that can be seen with practically every hormone inside the body.
Iodine is a well known topical germicidal agent effective against a wide spectrum of organisms including bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Iodine is normally available as solutions, alcoholic tinctures and iodophors. Iodophors were developed because iodine tinctures caused skin irritation, severe hypersensitivity reactions and systemic absorption of iodine. Iodophors are compounds of iodine linked to carriers for iodine and only a small amount of iodine is released minimizing toxicity, which is not really a problem at all when iodine is administered in its pure atomic form.
Iodine has bactericidal activity, e.g. a 1% tincture will kill 90% of bacteria in 90 seconds, a 5% tincture in 60 seconds and a 7% tincture in 15 seconds.
—Gershenfeld, 1968
Iodide uptake by the thyroid is an active process.[i] So much of the information on iodine insists that iodine should be taken in its two major forms, iodide and iodine. An iodide ion is an iodine atom with a ?1 charge. Compounds with iodine in formal oxidation state ?1 are called iodides. Dr. David Brownstein wrote that “it is very difficult to get iodine into a solution that uses water as a solvent. Therefore as Dr. Lugol discovered, using the reduced form of iodine (iodide) increases the solubility of iodine.” Atomic or Nascent Iodine is not dissolved in water but in alcohol.
I have used various iodide preparations for years with mixed success.
—Dr. David Brownstein
Iodized salt and the iodine supplements usually found in health food stores contain the iodide form of iodine but Dr. Brownstein, one of the world’s iodine experts has had little success treating patients with only iodide. The supplement Iodoral contains both the iodide (reduced) and iodine (oxidized) forms of iodine. The US RDA for iodine is 150 mcg. Iodoral contains 100 times (12.5 mgs) the RDAs requirement of iodine/iodide. One drop of Nascent iodine = RDA of 0.2 mg. If using for additional energy and general improved health take up to 5 drops daily. That would mean only one milligram.
If recommended by your healthcare professional for assistance with a chronic health concern take 5 drops three or four times a day or as instructed by your healthcare professional. Thirty drops per day is the equivalent of 6 mg. of iodine or 1 drop of Lugol’s iodine. Frequent small doses are more effective than larger amounts at less frequent intervals. Always take on an empty stomach. Most will find that it is important to build up gradually in order to experience the least amount of detoxification reaction. (See chapter Iodine and Chelation) It is best when using strong chelators, which iodine is, to moderate the amount of detoxification symptoms or what is called the Herxheimer’s reaction, which is the experience of poisons being dumped into the blood stream from the cells or from large scale yeast die offs. This is most readily controlled with iodine in the atomic form simply because it is so easy to control and regulate the dose.
Iodine is an easily oxidisable substance. Food that is present in the digestive tract will oxidize iodine to iodide which is not corrosive to the gastrointestinal tract. Oral iodine appears to be inactivated by combination with gastrointestinal contents. Absorption is poor due to rapid conversion of iodine to iodide[ii] and this might explain why one needs to take very high doses of Iodoral or Lugols compared to nascent iodine, which seems to bypass the digestive track altogether meaning its absorption starts right in the mouth and continues through direct penetration of the stomach tissues. The nascent appears to go into direct use by the body directly as soon as it is exposed to soft tissues. This is no stretch of the imagination since we know that iodide is completely and rapidly absorbed throughout all areas of the GI tract. Dr. Brownstein says that the downside of Lugol’s solution is the taste and the dosing of it. Lugol’s has a distinct metallic taste that many people find offensive. The atomic iodine on the other hand is like sipping on a heavenly gift, you can sense in a millisecond its positive nature.
We do in fact find that when taking a nascent form of iodine, therapeutic doses are much lower. Iodide has to be converted back to the nascent form in order to produce T3 and T4. Would the body not recognize nascent iodine as what is needed in the thyroid and take it there to avoid the steps of active transport to produce nascent iodine when it already has it available? This could explain why some people report that they feel the atomic form of iodine in their thyroid within 10 minutes. Is there really time for the iodine to get into the intestines and be converted into an iodide to be shipped to the thyroid?
Sunkar A. Bisey a Hindu scientist was suffering from malaria in the early nineteen-hundreds and quinine didn’t do him any good. His life was despaired of, and a Hindu doctor, hoping to save the life of India’s greatest inventor, sent on a few doses of a Burmese preparation, made from seaweed, that had proved useful in treating chronic malaria there. Bisey tried it. The effect was electrical. He began to improve at once and in a month was a well man. He set out to research the contents of the seaweed and ended up producing the compound now known as Beslin or atomic iodine. Atomic iodine is iodine molecules broken down to individual atoms, which is the exact form that the body needs to make thyroid hormones. If iodine is not in the atomic form the molecules of iodine first need to be broken down and that of course takes energy.
Malaria was treated with 20 drops of nascent iodine in a half glass of water given 4 or 5 times during the first day and then going to 10 drops of nascent iodine 4 times a day for 3 more days. A slide study of the blood shows that the malaria is gone from the body. It is interesting to note that Salem Banajeh, Associate Professor-Child Health at Sana’a University-Sana’a-Yemen found that case fatality for malaria is 4 times higher in highlands compared with endemic areas.[iii] Iodine deficiency would explain this, which would explain why iodine is an effective treatment for malaria.
Dr. A. Regnault, while recognizing the great value of quinine in the treatment of malaria, said in 1901 that it was becoming a matter of general recognition that the quinine-series of drugs is of service only during certain developmental periods of the disease. It is held that the toxins are developed with great rapidity just at the time of the division of the parasites. In order to eliminate these toxins, Dr. Regnault suggested the use of iodine and potassium iodide, iodine being a body which has a special affinity for bodies of the alkaloid class, and presumably for the supposed analogies of these toxins. The results obtained were reported as being very striking in that not only were the attacks aborted, but the action on the fever itself was striking and immediate with chills, vomiting and malaise disappearing rapidly. The remedies were employed in the following strength: Tincture of Iodine and potassium iodide, of each, 1; distilled water, 25.[iv]
“Iodine has many positive therapeutic actions. It is a potent anti-infective agent. No virus, bacteria or parasite has been shown to be resistant to iodine therapy,” writes Dr. Brownstein. This is an incredible statement but one that can easily be backed by hardcore medical science. It is the reason hospitals use iodine by the gallon and in reality the only reason hospitals are not like ground zero sites contaminated in an infectious sense is because of iodine’s broad spectrum anti-infective power.
Few are the doctors who have realized that iodine can be taken internally in large quantities and that it will have the same effect internally as it does on external surfaces. When we look at the fact that the entire focus of vaccines is anti-viral, that bacterial infections are becoming more threatening and more antibiotic resistant, that cancer is always accompanied by and or is a fungal yeast infection, we might begin to realize how iodine can again become a doctor’s best friend. Oncologist Dr. Tullio Simoncini in Rome already uses it for skin and breast cancer but even he has overlooked its potential for internal application for the same action against cancer yeasts and fungi. The secret to successful application in high enough quantities is provided by Nascent Iodine.
Nascent Iodine is more potent in its action because of its formulation, and because the toxicity has been removed.
Nascent Iodine is a scientific term for iodine where the iodine molecule has the diatomic bond broken and has a high amount of electromagnetic energy associated with it. During the 2 to 3 hour of activation time (within the human body, once diluted in water and consumed) the nascent iodine atom has the ability to be of assistance to the body. This form of iodine is produced by subjection of a 1 % tincture of iodine to a high electro magnetic field for a given time in order to produce the nascent iodine state. This atomic state and electromagnetic charge is held by the atom until diluted in water and consumed. Once diluted and inside the body this atom is readily absorbed and utilized by the body. This charged atom of iodine starts a process where it gradually loses its energy over 2 to 3 hours. During this time the body recognizes this atom as the same nascent iodine it produces in the thyroid in order to make the T3 and T4 hormones.
The atomic iodine is perhaps the least toxic and least irritating of all the iodine formulas available.
The quality that separates nascent iodine from all other iodine products is that the diatomic bond is broken with each atom keeping one of the two electrons that had made up the covalent bond. This is known as homolytic cleavage and causes the iodine atom to be subject to magnetic charging. The iodine being in the atomic state was the reason it was called Atomidine, for Atomic Iodine (1926 to 1935). This atomic state and large electromagnetic charge is held by the atom until diluted in water where it then rapidly looses its charge.
Nascent Iodine is a complete atom
no extra electrons none missing.
It was the famous psychic Edgar Cayce, who suggested iodine for all sorts of thyroid problems, who advised that it would be necessary to electrically charge the iodine to change it into its “atomic” form. This charging converts the iodine into a form that the body can most fully recognize and assimilate. (Iodine trichlorite claims to be atomic iodine, but it’s not.) A true atomic iodine is the best kind to bring the thyroid to its optimal function because it supports and saturates the thyroid without any toxic buildup (nascent iodine).
When the thyroid becomes fully saturated from continued ingestion of detoxified iodine, whatever it doesn’t need is eagerly grabbed by other tissues of the body independent of the form meaning iodide is not necessary. After the atomic iodine has made its rounds, whatever then remains and is unable to be used is excreted in the urine. The urine will turn bright yellow from the excess, similar to what happens with water-soluble B-vitamins that the body doesn’t need. And, any excess can help the kidneys if there’s an infection at the site.
Note: even nascent iodine is safe to use, too much taken too late in the day can be stimulating enough to keep you awake. As with any other supplement, use discretion.
There is a difference between Nascent Iodine and Detoxified Iodine, which itself is a high quality form of iodine. Detoxified Iodine is produced at 10 amps of resistance for five minutes. Nascent Iodine is more difficult to produce. The time required to get iodine into the nascent state is 15 to 20 minutes at 30 amps with a very limited quantity of iodine. The result is that heat is generated and that must be dissipated in order to have the process continue. Historians who have speculated as to why this process was never used in the 1930′s by Sunkar A. Bisey to improve his product was that it is just too time consuming and costly to make the nascent iodine through this method. For those who notice the results of nascent iodine it may seem costly to make but well worth it for the results. (I have had several people who have used different iodine products of these types conclusively claim they can feel the difference immediately when taking a true Nascent iodine.)
To quote the 1930′s document by Schieffelin and Company:
“The lethal dose of Atomidine (1926 to 1935) in animals is very large, which accounts for the absence of untoward effects in clinical use. Due probably to its rapid absorption and its ready combination with organic compounds in the body, iodism very rarely occurs even in sensitive persons.”
If the body does recognize both these qualities, it can then use this charged atom in the thyroid or elsewhere in the body as needed.
The body utilizes more or less nascent iodine depending on the task being addressed. To boost the body systems may require very small amounts, a few drops once a day. The average dose is 5 to 10 drops in one-half glassful of cold water, repeated every two or three hours. Frequent small doses are more effective than larger amounts at less frequent intervals. When an intensive effect is desired 20 or more drops may be administered over the critical period and repeated as required.
Testimonials:
It’s 4:30 Thursday, 7-5-07, and I took four drops of Magnascent in water
about a half hour ago. As I sit here I can actually FEEL my thyroid gland
doing *something* for the third time in about a week, each time after taking at least 4 drops in water on an empty stomach. It feels almost like it is moving in my throat. Well I suppose if it is making hormones and injecting them into my body, a certain amount of movement is to be expected.
For years I have been fighting degenerative arthritis. I have had many
successes already with many substances and methods. One thing that has eluded me is a regular, everyday good feeling, and regular everyday flexibility. I have had many good days in the past few years but always they faltered and I was always searching for some way to keep it up. Now I think I have found it. For about 4 weeks now, starting with taking Detoxified Iodine, but then moving on to Magnascent, I have kept up a level of energy and flexibility that I mostly have not had since I was about 38 or so (I’m 53).
I get up in the morning and within a short time I’m running through the
house ready to get work done, then I’m running through my business shop and yard. At the end of every day I am solidly physically tired, but just get up and go at it all the same way again every day.
The flexibility is just unbelievable. I find myself jumping in and out of
trucks and crawling under equipment and working on things while squatting or kneeling with nearly no discomfort. Squatting and kneeling were very uncomfortable for me only a few weeks ago. I used to wince at the thought of having to squat or kneel.
All of this has happened to me on only about 10-12 drops of Magnascent per day. I’m drinking about 8-10 a day and putting about 2-4 drops a day on a couple of Heberden’s Nodes on my hands.
Since the endocrine system is all stimulated by iodine and the thyroid, my testosterone is up too. I don’t need a test to tell that.
—Bob Ansley
Today there are several patents utilizing nascent iodine as the primary factor. One set of patents (Patent No. 6,838,050 and Patent No. 6, 482,309) refers to the electrolytic generation of nascent iodine as a method of treatment for the prevention of infections associated with medical implant devices. Another patent (Patent No. 5,232,914) relates to the use of nascent iodine in a solid germicidal, pre-iodine composition. Still another (Patent No. 6,592,890) refers to use of nascent iodine in a wound dressing. And the last relevant patent (Patent No. 5,538,740) refers to the therapeutic and cosmetic compositions involving nascent iodine for the treatment of skin. None of the above patents involve a consumable form of nascent iodine.
A case of Richard D. Norton Jr. with oral cancer had four operations found yet another tumor growing that he could see with a flash light and mirror. He used the nascent iodine for one week three times a day holding it in his mouth a few minutes and then swallowing. In a week he called to ask if the iodine colors skin. I said it was only temporary and then goes back to normal color. He said that he had lost where the cancer was. He couldn’t find it. The next week Dr. Anderson his physician confirmed it was gone but they found another in a different location which he is treating it now.
The toxicity of modern life is impacting iodine levels. It is well known that the toxic halides, fluoride and bromide, having structure similar to iodine, can competitively inhibit iodine absorption and binding in the body. Americans, who are more exposed to fluoride than other populations have a desperate need for more iodine and taking iodine in its nascent form would be the best way of increasing iodine levels in the safest and most effective way possible.
In treating over 4,000 patients, Dr. Brownstein has found only three patients with “allergy” to non-radioactive inorganic iodine/iodide. The nascent form is even less provoking, meaning the chances of side effects besides a normal detoxification and chelation response would be near zero. The use of nascent iodine is simple, safe and has proven itself effective through more than a century of medical use. One should turn a deaf ear to all those cynics who would recommend pharmaceutical poisons in its place. They are not unlike the child molester using sweet words to draw an innocent into a deadly web of pain and deceit.
From its position at the base of the brain, the pituitary gland monitors the levels of hormones in the blood. If a low level of thyroid hormones is detected, the pituitary gland sends out its own hormone called thyroid stimulating hormone or TSH, which stimulates the thyroid gland to step up production of thyroid hormones. The thyroid gland can’t do this since it’s missing one essential ingredient —iodine—but the pituitary gland does not know this. It keeps secreting TSH which after a time will cause the tissue of the thyroid gland to change and the entire gland will enlarge.
Iodine levels have fallen 50% over the last 30 years in the United States. We have also seen at the same time a dramatic drop off of magnesium cellular levels and the same can be said for other minerals like zinc and selenium. During this same time, there have been dramatic increases in illnesses of the breast (including breast cancer), prostate, thyroid and the immune system (i.e., autoimmune disorders). All of these conditions can be caused (in part or wholly) from iodine deficiency as well as magnesium, selenium and zinc deficiencies. Mineral levels should be evaluated in all suffering from illness and those trying to achieve their optimal health. In reality we do not need to expand fortunes in sophisticated testing because unless one is eating a perfect organic whole food diet the chance of being ill and not being mineral deficient is about zero.
Special Note: There is a great deal of confusion by these terms: detoxified iodine, atomic iodine, nascent iodine. Edgar Cayce actually gave out instructions for two different types of iodine, one which is fairly easy to make, or what is called the detoxified form, and the full atomic form or what we are calling Nascent Iodine, which in the opinion of the IMVA, is clearly more potent. Several people who have used one form literally feel the difference at the moment of injection. The only company we are trusting to provide a true Nascent Iodine happens to also be the only company that has applied for a license to supply both the one percent solution, which has been the type of iodine discussed in this chapter, but also a seven percent solution of Nascent Iodine, which now has to be licensed through the drug enforcement (DEA) agency of the government. This type is not for oral use but is perfect for transdermal use, which will be reviewed in another chapter called Transdermal Iodine. This is important to note and have in one’s medicine cabinet or dispensary because it is the solution to many diseases of the skin including skin cancer and is a vital part of any protocol for breast cancer as well.
Second Special Note: There has been a lot of commotion in health circles about a product called Miracle Mineral Supplement (MMS). It is being advertised as the answer to AIDS, hepatitis A, B and C, malaria, herpes, TB, most cancer and many more of mankind’s worst diseases. The claim about how the chlorine (a poison, not what would be considered a mineral for health) interacts with pathogens is the same claim we can make about iodine (a safe nutritional mineral), which is known to also kill pathogens of all types on contact. I do not mean to make a qualified medical opinion on MMS, which is chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide is formed from the chemical combination of sodium chlorite and the acetic acid (vinegar) or citric acid. Chlorine dioxide is dangerous to handle and use. A search for material safety data sheets sustains the risk of using this substance.
MMS may decompose explosively on shock, friction or concussion, or on heating rapidly. Strong oxidant – reacts violently with combustible and reducing materials, and with mercury, ammonia, sulphur and many organic compounds.[v]
MMS is a strong irritant of the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract; [HSDB] A strong oxidizer that promotes combustion; Concentrated solutions may be corrosive to the skin and eyes; Mild hemolytic anemia and increased methemoglobin in males is observed in animal feeding studies; [CHEMINFO][vi] Acute Health Effects:[vii]
MMS Ingestion: Not a normal route of exposure. Harmful if swallowed. Can cause irritation to mouth, esophagus, stomach, and mucous membranes.
MMS Eye Contact: Contact causes redness, irritation, pain, blurred vision, tearing, corneal injury and burns.
MMS Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled. Coughing, headaches, labored breathing, nausea, shortness of breath, pulmonary edema.
MMS Chronic Health Effects: May have effects on lungs, resulting in chronic bronchitis and permanent lung damage (with chronic exposure).
The use of dangerous poisons is common in allopathic medicine. Even when pharmaceutical companies jump through hoops costing many millions of dollars to test such poisons (most pharmaceuticals are mitochondria poisons) it does not remove the dangers of the poisons which create all kinds of complications and side effects. The natural allopathic medicine of Survival Medicine only uses such poisons as a last resort.
It almost never makes sense medically to ignore the basics, the air we breathe, the water we drink and the sun. Minerals like magnesium and iodine are up there with the prime basics of life and the use of poisons like chlorine dioxide should not be considered for use unless the basics do not supply the necessary resolution. In the special case of the supposedly magical mineral substance we have something vastly safer, more natural and proven through over a century of medical use. We have iodine, which has the same anti pathogenic profile as that claimed for the chlorine compound.
Secondly, the marketing materials and promotion of this chlorine compound (MMS) is not anchored in medical science or medical reason. It is very hard to verify wild claims or trust those who whip up medical hysteria because we never know when testimonials are just projections of the hysteria. The placebo effect is alive and well and its waters fertilized when unsubstantiated claims are made. It makes sense sometime in medicine to take risks but not before medical basics is employed first. Why promote the use of something that has inherent dangers when we have something proven and safe.

When we look at the fact that the entire focus of vaccines is anti-viral, that bacterial infections are becoming more threatening and more antibiotic resistant, that cancer is always accompanied by and or is a fungal yeast infection, we might begin to realize how iodine can again become a doctor’s best friend. Oncologist Dr. Tullio Simoncini in Rome already uses it for skin and breast cancer but even he has overlooked its potential for internal application for the same action against cancer yeasts and fungi. The secret to successful application in high enough quantities is provided by Nascent Iodine.
Nascent Iodine is more potent in its action because of its formulation, and because the toxicity has been removed.
Nascent Iodine is a scientific term for iodine where the iodine molecule has the diatomic bond broken and has a high amount of electromagnetic energy associated with it. During the 2 to 3 hour of activation time (within the human body, once diluted in water and consumed) the nascent iodine atom has the ability to be of assistance to the body. This form of iodine is produced by subjection of a 1 % tincture of iodine to a high electro magnetic field for a given time in order to produce the nascent iodine state. This atomic state and electromagnetic charge is held by the atom until diluted in water and consumed. Once diluted and inside the body this atom is readily absorbed and utilized by the body. This charged atom of iodine starts a process where it gradually loses its energy over 2 to 3 hours. During this time the body recognizes this atom as the same nascent iodine it produces in the thyroid in order to make the T3 and T4 hormones.
The atomic iodine is perhaps the least toxic and least irritating of all the iodine formulas available.
The quality that separates nascent iodine from all other iodine products is that the diatomic bond is broken with each atom keeping one of the two electrons that had made up the covalent bond. This is known as homolytic cleavage and causes the iodine atom to be subject to magnetic charging. The iodine being in the atomic state was the reason it was called Atomidine, for Atomic Iodine (1926 to 1935). This atomic state and large electromagnetic charge is held by the atom until diluted in water where it then rapidly looses its charge.
Nascent Iodine is a complete atom
no extra electrons none missing.
It was the famous psychic Edgar Cayce, who suggested iodine for all sorts of thyroid problems, who advised that it would be necessary to electrically charge the iodine to change it into its “atomic” form. This charging converts the iodine into a form that the body can most fully recognize and assimilate. (Iodine trichlorite claims to be atomic iodine, but it’s not.) A true atomic iodine is the best kind to bring the thyroid to its optimal function because it supports and saturates the thyroid without any toxic buildup (nascent iodine).
When the thyroid becomes fully saturated from continued ingestion of detoxified iodine, whatever it doesn’t need is eagerly grabbed by other tissues of the body independent of the form meaning iodide is not necessary. After the atomic iodine has made its rounds, whatever then remains and is unable to be used is excreted in the urine. The urine will turn bright yellow from the excess, similar to what happens with water-soluble B-vitamins that the body doesn’t need. And, any excess can help the kidneys if there’s an infection at the site.
Note: even nascent iodine is safe to use, too much taken too late in the day can be stimulating enough to keep you awake. As with any other supplement, use discretion.
There is a difference between Nascent Iodine and Detoxified Iodine, which itself is a high quality form of iodine. Detoxified Iodine is produced at 10 amps of resistance for five minutes. Nascent Iodine is more difficult to produce. The time required to get iodine into the nascent state is 15 to 20 minutes at 30 amps with a very limited quantity of iodine. The result is that heat is generated and that must be dissipated in order to have the process continue. Historians who have speculated as to why this process was never used in the 1930′s by Sunkar A. Bisey to improve his product was that it is just too time consuming and costly to make the nascent iodine through this method. For those who notice the results of nascent iodine it may seem costly to make but well worth it for the results. (I have had several people who have used different iodine products of these types conclusively claim they can feel the difference immediately when taking a true Nascent iodine.)
To quote the 1930′s document by Schieffelin and Company:
“The lethal dose of Atomidine (1926 to 1935) in animals is very large, which accounts for the absence of untoward effects in clinical use. Due probably to its rapid absorption and its ready combination with organic compounds in the body, iodism very rarely occurs even in sensitive persons.”
If the body does recognize both these qualities, it can then use this charged atom in the thyroid or elsewhere in the body as needed.
The body utilizes more or less nascent iodine depending on the task being addressed. To boost the body systems may require very small amounts, a few drops once a day. The average dose is 5 to 10 drops in one-half glassful of cold water, repeated every two or three hours. Frequent small doses are more effective than larger amounts at less frequent intervals. When an intensive effect is desired 20 or more drops may be administered over the critical period and repeated as required.
Testimonials:
It’s 4:30 Thursday, 7-5-07, and I took four drops of Magnascent in water
about a half hour ago. As I sit here I can actually FEEL my thyroid gland
doing *something* for the third time in about a week, each time after taking at least 4 drops in water on an empty stomach. It feels almost like it is moving in my throat. Well I suppose if it is making hormones and injecting them into my body, a certain amount of movement is to be expected.
For years I have been fighting degenerative arthritis. I have had many
successes already with many substances and methods. One thing that has eluded me is a regular, everyday good feeling, and regular everyday flexibility. I have had many good days in the past few years but always they faltered and I was always searching for some way to keep it up. Now I think I have found it. For about 4 weeks now, starting with taking Detoxified Iodine, but then moving on to Magnascent, I have kept up a level of energy and flexibility that I mostly have not had since I was about 38 or so (I’m 53).
I get up in the morning and within a short time I’m running through the
house ready to get work done, then I’m running through my business shop and yard. At the end of every day I am solidly physically tired, but just get up and go at it all the same way again every day.
The flexibility is just unbelievable. I find myself jumping in and out of
trucks and crawling under equipment and working on things while squatting or kneeling with nearly no discomfort. Squatting and kneeling were very uncomfortable for me only a few weeks ago. I used to wince at the thought of having to squat or kneel.
All of this has happened to me on only about 10-12 drops of Magnascent per day. I’m drinking about 8-10 a day and putting about 2-4 drops a day on a couple of Heberden’s Nodes on my hands.
Since the endocrine system is all stimulated by iodine and the thyroid, my testosterone is up too. I don’t need a test to tell that.
—Bob Ansley
Today there are several patents utilizing nascent iodine as the primary factor. One set of patents (Patent No. 6,838,050 and Patent No. 6, 482,309) refers to the electrolytic generation of nascent iodine as a method of treatment for the prevention of infections associated with medical implant devices. Another patent (Patent No. 5,232,914) relates to the use of nascent iodine in a solid germicidal, pre-iodine composition. Still another (Patent No. 6,592,890) refers to use of nascent iodine in a wound dressing. And the last relevant patent (Patent No. 5,538,740) refers to the therapeutic and cosmetic compositions involving nascent iodine for the treatment of skin. None of the above patents involve a consumable form of nascent iodine.
A case of Richard D. Norton Jr. with oral cancer had four operations found yet another tumor growing that he could see with a flash light and mirror. He used the nascent iodine for one week three times a day holding it in his mouth a few minutes and then swallowing. In a week he called to ask if the iodine colors skin. I said it was only temporary and then goes back to normal color. He said that he had lost where the cancer was. He couldn’t find it. The next week Dr. Anderson his physician confirmed it was gone but they found another in a different location which he is treating it now.
The toxicity of modern life is impacting iodine levels. It is well known that the toxic halides, fluoride and bromide, having structure similar to iodine, can competitively inhibit iodine absorption and binding in the body. Americans, who are more exposed to fluoride than other populations have a desperate need for more iodine and taking iodine in its nascent form would be the best way of increasing iodine levels in the safest and most effective way possible.
In treating over 4,000 patients, Dr. Brownstein has found only three patients with “allergy” to non-radioactive inorganic iodine/iodide. The nascent form is even less provoking, meaning the chances of side effects besides a normal detoxification and chelation response would be near zero. The use of nascent iodine is simple, safe and has proven itself effective through more than a century of medical use. One should turn a deaf ear to all those cynics who would recommend pharmaceutical poisons in its place. They are not unlike the child molester using sweet words to draw an innocent into a deadly web of pain and deceit.
From its position at the base of the brain, the pituitary gland monitors the levels of hormones in the blood. If a low level of thyroid hormones is detected, the pituitary gland sends out its own hormone called thyroid stimulating hormone or TSH, which stimulates the thyroid gland to step up production of thyroid hormones. The thyroid gland can’t do this since it’s missing one essential ingredient —iodine—but the pituitary gland does not know this. It keeps secreting TSH which after a time will cause the tissue of the thyroid gland to change and the entire gland will enlarge.
Iodine levels have fallen 50% over the last 30 years in the United States. We have also seen at the same time a dramatic drop off of magnesium cellular levels and the same can be said for other minerals like zinc and selenium. During this same time, there have been dramatic increases in illnesses of the breast (including breast cancer), prostate, thyroid and the immune system (i.e., autoimmune disorders). All of these conditions can be caused (in part or wholly) from iodine deficiency as well as magnesium, selenium and zinc deficiencies. Mineral levels should be evaluated in all suffering from illness and those trying to achieve their optimal health. In reality we do not need to expand fortunes in sophisticated testing because unless one is eating a perfect organic whole food diet the chance of being ill and not being mineral deficient is about zero.
Special Note: There is a great deal of confusion by these terms: detoxified iodine, atomic iodine, nascent iodine. Edgar Cayce actually gave out instructions for two different types of iodine, one which is fairly easy to make, or what is called the detoxified form, and the full atomic form or what we are calling Nascent Iodine, which in the opinion of the IMVA, is clearly more potent. Several people who have used one form literally feel the difference at the moment of injection. The only company we are trusting to provide a true Nascent Iodine happens to also be the only company that has applied for a license to supply both the one percent solution, which has been the type of iodine discussed in this chapter, but also a seven percent solution of Nascent Iodine, which now has to be licensed through the drug enforcement (DEA) agency of the government. This type is not for oral use but is perfect for transdermal use, which will be reviewed in another chapter called Transdermal Iodine. This is important to note and have in one’s medicine cabinet or dispensary because it is the solution to many diseases of the skin including skin cancer and is a vital part of any protocol for breast cancer as well.
Second Special Note: There has been a lot of commotion in health circles about a product called Miracle Mineral Supplement (MMS). It is being advertised as the answer to AIDS, hepatitis A, B and C, malaria, herpes, TB, most cancer and many more of mankind’s worst diseases. The claim about how the chlorine (a poison, not what would be considered a mineral for health) interacts with pathogens is the same claim we can make about iodine (a safe nutritional mineral), which is known to also kill pathogens of all types on contact. I do not mean to make a qualified medical opinion on MMS, which is chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide is formed from the chemical combination of sodium chlorite and the acetic acid (vinegar) or citric acid. Chlorine dioxide is dangerous to handle and use. A search for material safety data sheets sustains the risk of using this substance.
MMS may decompose explosively on shock, friction or concussion, or on heating rapidly. Strong oxidant – reacts violently with combustible and reducing materials, and with mercury, ammonia, sulphur and many organic compounds.[v]
MMS is a strong irritant of the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract; [HSDB] A strong oxidizer that promotes combustion; Concentrated solutions may be corrosive to the skin and eyes; Mild hemolytic anemia and increased methemoglobin in males is observed in animal feeding studies; [CHEMINFO][vi] Acute Health Effects:[vii]
MMS Ingestion: Not a normal route of exposure. Harmful if swallowed. Can cause irritation to mouth, esophagus, stomach, and mucous membranes.
MMS Eye Contact: Contact causes redness, irritation, pain, blurred vision, tearing, corneal injury and burns.
MMS Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled. Coughing, headaches, labored breathing, nausea, shortness of breath, pulmonary edema.
MMS Chronic Health Effects: May have effects on lungs, resulting in chronic bronchitis and permanent lung damage (with chronic exposure).
The use of dangerous poisons is common in allopathic medicine. Even when pharmaceutical companies jump through hoops costing many millions of dollars to test such poisons (most pharmaceuticals are mitochondria poisons) it does not remove the dangers of the poisons which create all kinds of complications and side effects. The natural allopathic medicine of Survival Medicine only uses such poisons as a last resort.
It almost never makes sense medically to ignore the basics, the air we breathe, the water we drink and the sun. Minerals like magnesium and iodine are up there with the prime basics of life and the use of poisons like chlorine dioxide should not be considered for use unless the basics do not supply the necessary resolution. In the special case of the supposedly magical mineral substance we have something vastly safer, more natural and proven through over a century of medical use. We have iodine, which has the same anti pathogenic profile as that claimed for the chlorine compound.
Secondly, the marketing materials and promotion of this chlorine compound (MMS) is not anchored in medical science or medical reason. It is very hard to verify wild claims or trust those who whip up medical hysteria because we never know when testimonials are just projections of the hysteria. The placebo effect is alive and well and its waters fertilized when unsubstantiated claims are made. It makes sense sometime in medicine to take risks but not before medical basics is employed first. Why promote the use of something that has inherent dangers when we have something proven and safe.

The Difference between Non-organic and Organic Meat
Organic meat is one of the more expensive items you will find at your grocery store. In fact, organic beef costs almost twice as much as its non-organic counterpart. There has been much debate on whether or not organic meat offers enough benefits to warrant the price difference. Though there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that there is a great difference in the nutritional of value of organic and non-organic meat, there is a great difference in the practices of organic and non-organic farmers.
Organic livestock is raised in a more humane, more sanitary way and the production of organic meat has less of an impact on the environment than traditional meat production. Here are just a few of the other differences between organic and non-organic meat.
No Antibiotics or Growth Hormones
In order to stimulate growth and prevent the spread of disease, non-organic cattle and livestock are given antibiotics and growth hormones. Recent studies suggest that such a high level of hormones may present health risks to consumers, especially young children and women who are pregnant or nursing. These hormones can remain in the manure of the animals and lead to the contamination of groundwater. Organic animals, on the other hand, are not given any hormones, antibiotics or growth stimulants. Instead, farmers use a well-rounded diet of organic materials to promote growth and fight off infection in their livestock.
No Animal Parts
It is common for non-organic farmers to feed cattle ground up cattle and animal remnants to encourage growth. This practice can cause diseases such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy also known as mad cow disease. Organic farming prohibits the practice of feeding animal remains to herbivores and safeguards against this dangerous infection.
No Pesticides or Chemical Fertilizers
Traditional farms use a variety of pesticides and chemicals to encourage the growth of their crops and ward off insects. Animal are exposed to these chemicals when they graze on the land. Organic farms use natural materials to promote crop growth. Therefore, by purchasing organic meat, you can decrease your exposure to harmful chemicals and toxins.
Promotes the Humane Treatment of Animals
Factory farms seek to produce as much meat as possible for a minimal cost. The emphasis on product and profit means that the animals are subject to inhumane conditions. Animals are crammed into barns and crates and given little access to the outdoors. Organic animals spend less time confined indoors and are given plenty of time and room to graze.
Produces Less Waste
Industrial farms raise so many animals and produce so much manure that the excess often contaminates the earth. The overflow of manure can infect wells and other areas with E. coli and other harmful chemicals. Organic farms raise less livestock and produce just enough manure to rejuvenate and fertilize the soil. Also, because organic animals are fed organic diets, their manure is pure and free from any toxins.
Organic meet may not contain more nutrients or less calories than meat produced by a traditional factory farm. However, it contains less toxins and is better for the body and the planet.

Another beautiful day in San Diego
By William Zimmermann
My new policy is to post only positive posts that deal with goals that bring good things into my world. I know venting negative stuff is important to be able to do but I do not believe in harping on negativity any more. I have simply read too much about how this can become a bad habit. And habits are hard to break!
The positive word for today is not coming to me. But I know it is sunny, beautiful and there is very little strain on my world at the moment. Not a lot of people can claim this so I guess that is the good word for today. I am letting some people go, but not ditching them completely. Barbara Danny and Traudl are good friends but we have nothing in common. The attitude here is to keep them close and do not neglect them as not to burn bridges. But move forward with what is important to me. Living well and making money in ways that do not drive me nuts is a very important thing. The water business appears to be perfectly suited to my ambitions of coming off disability an weening myself from section 8 housing eventually. Success would mean coming off of these programs. But success has a price and must be maintained consistently and forever. It is a big committment and should be carefully planned and developed.
Taking care of business when you're not in the mood to deal with it is an important topic. You have to be able to be consistent friendly, compassionate, warm and quick-witted even when you are in a disoriented state, depressed or angry at the world. It is a good thing to find a root throught to hold onto when you are in a negative state. That thought should be gratitude, and more specifically it should have the power to pull you into compassion for whom ever you are speaking with when your angry or frustrated. So I'll have to think of even a more potent and more speciffic root thought that will help me control my mood when I get blind sided by reality. The truth is that sometimes I know I do not cope well even under normal circumstances. Depression, moodyness and simple inconvenience really tick me off if I am not in the right frame of mind to deal. Xanax helps but makes me kind of stupid. Coffee is not a great friend but often appears to be so. The best thing always is good nutrition and sticking to the principals of the Gerson therapy to maintain health as I explore additional ideas for health.

Start here and begin to detoxify your body
Start here and begin to detoxify your body
My pay forward to humanity... Is to share knowledge
My Lyme's disease started in 1989 but didn't take over my body until 2003. After years of trying this and trying that with the advice of "professionals" I was no better off. With the one good hour a day I had I set out on my own and found things naturally occurring which healed my body. Most recently, two years of slow detoxification and increased nutrition has placed me into the I'm feeling normal again life style.
I partially attribute this improvement to understanding our environment and the pollution we are exposed to every day. Below is information I would consider a first steps. As it became apparent to me... and this is important... It is difficult to give the body proper nutrition if the body can not eliminate toxins.
Please take a moment to listen to Dr. Stewart Lonky's presentation found on the home page.
Determine the exposure have you have and are experiencing and start to limit and remove these immediately.
Removing and cleaning out these toxins will begin to restore your bodies ability for a normal immune system.
I learned you can't fight Lyme's until you have a strong immune system...

Great article
Coffee Enemas, Friendly Flora and Minerals Do Coffee Enemas Destroy the Friendly Flora in the Colon?
Here is an email I received recently asking that question and my answer: Dear Bonnie,
I was delightfully surprised to see your name (on an email I sent to her). I didn’t realize it was your web site.
I have been aware for years of your wonderful work supporting the knowledge Dr. Kelley had gathered.
Thank you for all your efforts to benefit people and their health.
A question for you regarding coffee enemas:
My husband and I have been doing them daily for about 4 years.
In your experience — can the coffee enemas destroy the friendly flora in the colon? (i.e. — anymore than life in general tends to challenge our friendly flora already)
Warm Regards, DG
Bonnie’s Answer: Anytime you rinse your colon with a plain water enema, a coffee enema, a 50-minute colonic, or even when you have a bowel movement, you lose some of the friendly flora that resides in your colon. This does not reduce the friendly flora to the extent that it becomes a problem.
However, it is possible to increase the friendly flora in your colon by implanting friendly flora with a second enema (or after having a colonic) consisting of the probiotics Flora-G Plus and Candida-G mixed with distilled water (see directions on page 3). http:// www.candida-g.com
I’ve been taking a daily coffee enema since November 1982. I take them because after I spent a month at the Gerson Cancer Clinic my life-long seasonal allergies (for which I had to take steroids for a month every June in order to breathe) were brought under control.
I have not had a major allergy attack or taken steroids since 1982. At the Gerson Clinic I learned that to stay allergy-free I must take enzymes and one coffee enema every morning. The enzymes I take are: one pancreatin 325 tablet (an enzyme from the pancreas of pigs that digests protein, fats and carbohydrates with an exceptional ability to digest protein) with each meal every day except in June when I take six tablets with each meal, six serrapeptase tablets a day (two three times a day as this keeps my excess mucous under control), and one 500 mg. amylase capsule (an enzyme that helps digests carbohydrates) daily when I drink my whole-fruit drink in the morning. http:// www.butterflyenzyme.com/

At the Gerson Clinic I also met people who once had cancer (some over 10 years previously) and, after following the Gerson regime, got rid of it.
While at the clinic I drank 13 cups of raw, organic fruit and vegetable juice daily, ate a strict organic vegetarian diet, drank and ate food cooked with only water that had been distilled, took enzymes and other supplements, and took three coffee enemas daily. Anyone who refused to take two to three coffee enemas daily were asked to leave because without taking the coffee enemas the body cannot get rid of the toxins that the diet and enzymes cause to be released into the blood stream. When I developed a fever and flu-like symptoms the doctors cheered because it meant the regime was working and I was having a healing crisis (which, in my case, lasted five days), during which the coffee enemas were increased to five a day. A healing crisis means your body is healing an unhealthy area of your body. If I had been there due to having cancer, after the initial month of eating a low protein diet (the protein is now from desiccated liver tablets but in 1982 it was from drinking juiced and pressed raw, organic veal liver juice mixed with carrot juice twice a day), I would have stayed on a modified diet (more protein) and continued the regime — and continued to have healing crises — until the cancer was gone.
Note: My daughter, Sandy, asked that I mention that if she had not been taking coffee enemas every day, sometimes two and three times a day, she does not think she could have made it through the ordeal of having multiple oral surgeries over the past eight years to help her overcome osteonecrosis of the jawbone (death of a section of the jawbone, a consequence that’s hard to treat and difficult to have) that she developed due to taking Tetracycline when she was three years old. A case in point: three days after Sandy put Barbara Frank’s Natural Herbal Lotion (NHL), which is formulated to kill parasites, viruses and bacteria, all over her body she felt so sick she thought she had a severe case of the flu, but after two coffee enemas that day she started feeling better and by the next day she was much better. Since first using NHL Sandy has used it once a month (three times so far) and each time her reaction has been milder, but she has felt flu-like symptoms by the third day (Barbara recommends using her Natural Herbal Lotion once a month). http://rosebeautycream.com/
Dr. Kelley on Parasites as the Cause of Cancer and Coffee Enemas Harming the Friendly Flora in the Colon
I asked Dr. Kelley what he thought about the theory that parasites (flukes, yeast, fungus — Candida Albicans) are the cause of cancer. His answer was that parasites are opportunistic and will take over wherever and whenever there is an unhealthy area in the body. He said taken in high enough amounts his enzymes will digest not only cancerous cells but parasites as well as they digest any and all foreign protein in the body.
Getting back to coffee enemas and friendly colon flora: For many years I didn’t worry about the friendly flora in my colon being harmed by my daily coffee enemas because I believed if coffee enemas helped get rid of my allergies — and helped so many people I met at the Gerson Clinic get rid of cancer and stay cancer-free for the rest of their lives — they obviously were not harming me.
Also, as I worked with Dr. Kelley in 1998 and 1999 updating his book One Answer To Cancer, I asked him if he thought it was harmful to the friendly flora in the colon to take daily coffee enemas. He said he had been taking a daily coffee enema since the 60s when he cured himself of pancreatic cancer with his Formula CA+ enzymes (now called Formula PEP enzymes) and multiple daily coffee enemas and his colon had plenty of friendly flora. http://oneanswertocancer.com/ http://drkelleyenzymes.com/
However, because I often had urinary tract infections (they began after I got married in 1957) and in 2006 (almost 50 years later) I learned about two probiotic supplements (Flora-G Plus and Candida-G) that are so hardy they can be taken the same day as an antibiotic (two hours later) without being killed off by the antibiotic, I got the idea to mix Flora-G Plus and Candida-G with distilled water and take a second “probiotic” enema (see directions below) after I take my coffee enema.
I also take one Flora-G Plus capsule and one Candida-G capsule by mouth daily. Both the probiotic enema and taking the probiotic capsules helped me to stop having urinary tract infections. I haven’t had a urinary tract infection since 2006.
Directions for a Probiotic Enema to Control Candida Overgrowth in the Colon and Urinary Tract:
In a quart glass bottle or jar put two cups warm distilled water. Open one capsule each of Flora-G Plus and Candida-G and pour the contents into the water. Cap the bottle, shake it, and add two more cups of warm distilled water. Pour the mixture into your enema bucket. While lying on your right side take the mixture into your colon and hold it for about five to ten minutes. Then release it into the toilet.
Note: Some people prefer to take a type of enema called an “implant.” With a probiotic implant you use only one cup of water and you try not to release it. The theory is: the longer you hold it the more probiotic is absorbed into the body.
Do Coffee Enemas Wash Away Minerals?
Another concern with taking daily coffee enemas for some people is that you might lose minerals. I learned about this from a Colonhydrotherapist. At her clinic after every client is finished with their colonhydrotherapy an implant of water and liquid minerals is administered through a bypass hose into the person’s colon. This is held for five or ten minutes and then released.
I am sensitive to most mineral supplements (I get uric acid spots — white spots — on my skin; legs, arms, face). Dr. Kelley thought it was due to my kidneys not being able to excrete the minerals my body couldn’t absorb right then — most people’s kidney’s have no problem excreting the excess. So I don’t put minerals into my enemas or swallow tablets, capsules or liquid minerals. The minerals I tolerate best come from vegetables by way of homemade vegetable broth. Once a week I chop up lots of vegetables, bring them to a boil in several quarts of distilled water and, after they’ve simmered for 30 minutes, I put the vegetables and the broth into mason jars, seal them, cool them and refrigerate them. I drink the broth every day (I strain it off the vegetables and either toss the vegetables or save them to eat later). I love the broth heated and I drink three cups of this hot, mineral-rich broth every morning. (The original recipe, “Dr. Rau’s Alkaline Soup,” came from Dr. Thomas Rau, Switzerland.) http://road-to-health.com/wordpress/?s=soup
Because magnesium is not very abundant in vegetables I have recently been putting Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil on my skin.
I learned about Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil thanks to Barbara Frank’s suggestion that I drink Nascent Iodine drops — three drops diluted in an ounce of distilled water twice or three times a day — which, by the way is terrific for clearing up any problem in the mouth from canker sores and toothaches to sore throats.
Thankfully Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil does not cause white spots on my skin (I spray it on my legs and rub it in before going to sleep at night and it works like magic — I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow). They say your skin only absorbs what it needs of the Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil and, judging by my spot-free skin, that seems to be true.

Here is an email I received recently asking that question and my answer: Dear Bonnie,
I was delightfully surprised to see your name (on an email I sent to her). I didn’t realize it was your web site.
I have been aware for years of your wonderful work supporting the knowledge Dr. Kelley had gathered.
Thank you for all your efforts to benefit people and their health.
A question for you regarding coffee enemas:
My husband and I have been doing them daily for about 4 years.
In your experience — can the coffee enemas destroy the friendly flora in the colon? (i.e. — anymore than life in general tends to challenge our friendly flora already)
Warm Regards, DG
Bonnie’s Answer: Anytime you rinse your colon with a plain water enema, a coffee enema, a 50-minute colonic, or even when you have a bowel movement, you lose some of the friendly flora that resides in your colon. This does not reduce the friendly flora to the extent that it becomes a problem.
However, it is possible to increase the friendly flora in your colon by implanting friendly flora with a second enema (or after having a colonic) consisting of the probiotics Flora-G Plus and Candida-G mixed with distilled water (see directions on page 3). http:// www.candida-g.com

How easily we are manipulated
When you threaten a man’s masculinity, you can more easily sell him an SUV. In a study done by Cornell University researchers, two groups of men were given a bogus analysis. Men in one group were told that they exhibited weak masculine characteristics, and the men in the other group were told that they did not. The men whose masculinity was questioned were much more likely to support wars and convey a desire to own an SUV.
"Acts" of generosity and gratitude
A study at the University of British Columbia in 2008 proved that people found happiness and satisfaction NOT from money they have earned and spent on themselves, but from money they spent on other people. This theory proves an old-time saying from the Bible: “It is better to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35).

Waking to contradictions in life
Waking up to contradictions I never saw before. Good will and political will are often quite different. Conditioning and abstract thought collide into a kaleidoscope of interpersonal crap. It is always the same in our culture. When making an important decision the path of least resistance or the easy way is usually what people will choose when stressed by who ever annoys them the most with regard to a particular issue.
The squeaky wheel technique of getting what you want or what I call “annoying personal politics” often works, but the test of leadership is found in the personal ability to resist any level of annoying hen pecking to in favor of the closest approximation to the truth they are capable of reaching. Assuming that the truth is never fully attainable, whose truth or what point of view do you take when deciding the fate of others? Bias traverses a linear scale of personal opinion that might conform to universal law or not depending on the wisdom of the person making the decision.

Mixing Grass With Meditation. A No Win Deal
The peace of mind from natural and pharmaceutical drugs combined with conscious efforts in meditation and yoga are an impossible combination. One counters the other. One bends the mind out of shape or shuts the brain down and the other wakes the brain up. To explore meditations that accelerate the attraction of prosperity, motivation and security simply can not progress when recreational drugs and alcohol are involved.
THC found in marijuana appears to have effects of altering consciousness temporarily. However the high is false, and imitation or facsimile of raised consciousness. It impersonates enlightenment and dumbs down the entire being... the after effects can be dangerous. Poor reflexes, forgetfulness and lack of motivation are clear symptoms. Compromised coping mechanisms lead to uncaring attitudes other people afterwords the high and a lazy carelessness come into the picture as well. All in all we might be a little happier when We are high but the benefit are temporary at best.
Now, LSD, iowaska and some hallucinogenic mushrooms under the guidance of a spiritual teacher or in a spiritual setting can enlighten and free the mind. But gross substances like marihuana alcohol and their counterparts unless used for genuine pain relief as in the case of marijuana they are not for the spiritually minded no matter how many excuses we make for them...
